Girls, you all came back!!

The Season 6 Episodes pf Sex in the City show in Pearl Channel now, on every Saturday mid night. Last night was 'Hop, Skip and A Week'. Wow, girls, I missed you all so much!! I watched it when I was operating the 'milk production'.

Carrie and Berger had lot of fights recently. Berger suggested to have a break. One night he came back and tried to fix the relationship, but in the next morning, he left a Post-it on Carrie's laptop, stated 'Sorry, I can't! Don't hate me!'. Carrie smashed the canation bouquet he sent on the floor!! It was just like what Carrie mentioned before 'Now having a break, then break up, then break down....'

Miranda felt guilty every morning when she left her baby to the nanny. Then she decided to have a change in her professional life - cut back her working hours from 24x7 to 50 hours per week (55 the top). As assured and determined as her usual, she forced her law firm partner to accept it.

Charlotte had too many dates, ladies from the women community she just joined forced her to date their sons. Those matchmakers must be very diappointed because finally Charlotte met Harry, her ex-boyfriend she had dumbed, in a Church gathering, she confessed that he was her true love. Harry proposed immediately and she accepted.

Samatha was a cheerful as usual. She managed to get Smith to be the model of 'Absolute', and made a huge poster hanged on a building - with his totally naked body, only used the 'Absolute' bottle covered that... well... huge part, which was 3 flats high. Smith felt sad about the ad because he only got attention and teasing but no other jobs at all. Samatha asked him to relax, because one day he would attrack guys, and then girls, finally everyone. All these came true and Smith could get a chance to act in a movie - acting a lousy drug addicted model - he accepted it joyfully......

Wow, couldn't wait for the next weekend!!

Meet Joe Black & Peanut Butter

Yesterday when Samantha and me were hanging around in a supermarket, we saw skippy peanut butter on racks. I asked if she had seen the movie ‘Meet Joe Black’ before, she immediately knew what I was talking about; both of us remembered Joe Black (Brad Pitt) loved eating peanut butter so much, with a delicate silver spoon.

Both of us also agreed Brad Pitt was so charming in that movie. Sam then said, ‘See? We are so shallow!’ Then I replied, ‘Yes, but I admit!!’ Haha.

I've seen ‘Meet Joe Black’ twice, first time in cinema, the second time in Pearl channel. If this movie is a beverage, I think it is a glass of Bailey’s, it’s sweet, but a bit bitter with strong aroma.

You won't believe it!!

Oh my goodness, I lost 3 pounds in these 2 days.

A working mom

This is the second day of being a working mom. I start to get used to the working environment, I can’t believe that I am so adaptable to the change.

Yesterday I still missed my baby when I was in office, but today, maybe I’ve geared up, I don’t think about him when I concentrate on my work. It seems nothing change as before.

Some people said once you become a mother, you will totally dedicate to your baby and have no ambition to your career. I don’t think this is the case for me. I still chase for a prosperous career development, this should be part of my self-actualization.

It doesn’t mean I don’t concern about Lucas though, I still miss him very much when I am off my work, and I will spend a lot of time with him during weekends and after work.

I love Lucas so much!

It's time to get back to work

Today is the last day of my maternity leave, a long 11 weeks holiday. Just realized I experienced enormous change in these 11 weeks, my life seems flipping over. Couldn't believe that I brought a new life to this world.

My place in office will be relocated, I will sit next to Jelly, my direct boss. I'm sure I will miss Sam so so so much. Remember our director Kelly Larry claimed we were 'chopstick sisters' because we stuck to each other every moment. Now we should be separated. As Jelly doesn't like his staff to use instant messages, it might be a bit hard to chat with her all the time as we used to be.

Another new change I should face is having a new challenge - I should pump out the breast milk in office for every couple hours. Definitely not an easy task.

Had brought a lot of new office outfits because some of my old clothes still don't fit me. I still have 7-8 pounds left from prenancy, but I look perfectly okay, at least I don't look like I am in my 5 months expecting mother. However, I still hope to get back to my original weight and shape soon.

Hope you all have a nice Sunday!! The sun is lovely.

Trimming down

Can you imagine how happy I am when I can slide into my old jeans again last week? Frankly, it is not as easy as before and I should tuck my fat around the weight into the jeans forcefully, and it is hard to zip and do the button, but at least it's much better than before. I could not even pull my jeans up to the upper thighs right after I gave birth. This is already a breakthrough.

Last Sunday I went dancing with my sister. Actually my sister was being my instructor and taught me Jazz dancing. It's really a good aerobic exercise, and I felt my tummy and thighs toned immediately.

I feel a bit guilty for not doing exercise yesterday, should do at least 30 minutes workout today.

I may not about to get back to my original weight right before I resuem my work by the end of this month, but it won't be too far. Now only 8 extra pounds left.

Freakonomics tells you why

This is the most interesting Economic book I ever read: Freakonomics - A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything by Steven D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner.

This book is not written by Mars Language, there is no complicated equation difficult chart, but it explains lots of daily pheonomenon through an unique and accurate point of view.

There are several interest topics: such as, who is an ideal parent? Does your name matter? Why a wealth gap between black and white, etc. Some study results surprise readers, they are very controversial which lead to attack by other scholars, but at least it gives you a new way to perceive our planet.

Here is the authors' blog: http://www.freakonomics.com/blog/

葡撻就是太空

有天在小巴上見到一個很可愛的小男孩，他像是個混血兒，大概四至五歲。與他一起的外傭很年青，為他抱著書包，二人很高興地談天。很少見「小主人」跟傭工這麼好感情。

男孩子說著流利的廣東話：「那不就是葡撻罷！」
「什麽是葡撻呢？」驚訝那外傭的廣東話也如此流利。
「葡撻就是太空啦！」小孩說。
外傭答不上一句，小孩便嘗試解釋：「太空就是...就是...太空啦！」
「都不知你在說什麼！」外傭回應，我也不明白，不是小孩瞎扯，而是他說的話太深奧，太耐人尋味。

小孩子們都是哲學家。

I hate Toshiba Protege Notebook!

Does machine also have sexual discrimination? I know I have less sense to computer comparing with Jeff, but Mr. Toshiba shouldn't bully me in this way.

The notebook works well always, but since last month, it got problems - only when I use it. The blue or b/w screen may come out which claimed there was system failure, but when Jeff went home, it got back to normal. Shit!!!!!

Not only this notebook, but lots of gadgets in our room also do this to me. Jeff also witnessed it once, when I tried to switch on a electronic appliance, it wouldn't work, but if Jeff did it, it went back to normal. I swear that I know how to switch it on, but it seems all machines doesn't like me much.

It drives me crazy.
