Honour that exclusively for him

I get a 2008 organizer from my banking client, this is the first year I got one which dedicated to me. I feel quite happy about it.

Then Jelly showed off his one to me just now, he is not only getting a plain organizer, but also with his name printed on the leather cover. Okay, this is really a kind of 'honour' only he can receive.

When I told him mine didn't have any name on it, he said, 'poor you, no name girl'.

Still in "The Other Side of the Story"

I am still reading the book The Other Side of the Story by Marian Keyes. It's really a long book, more than 600 pages.

Now I am in Pg. 480, hopefully I can complete reading it over this weekend. Then I can start a new book right before Christmas.

Historian will be my next book. Time to read something more serious. I read too much chick lit. Someone, especially those who discriminate against women's novels claim chick lit can deteriorate readers' IQ... surely this is totally bullshit, but I really get a bit tired to see how career young women strive for exciting life in both workplace and love affair between the pages.

Happy Birthday Jeffreson

Send you loads of kisses birthday boy. I am proud of you as you will become a father of two handsome boys very soon.

XXXXXXXXXX

My first green tea cheese cake

Last Saturday, I was too exciting and forgot to take a nice photo for the whole green tea cheese cake I made in the first time. Strictly speaking, this was the first baked cake I have ever made.

So what you can see here is the remaining 1/8 piece for breakfast in the next day. It received really good response, the taste was great. Even my F.I.L. who excels in criticizing praised it. Surely there was still great room for improvement, the eye white was not stiff enough and made it a bit too hard, but Jeff promised to buy me an electronic egg beater, I am sure the next one will be much better. I am planning to prepare a home-made birthday cake for him. He is really a lucky man!!!!!

P.S. Lucas also ate a lot!!!

Mood Swing

Remember that when I just stepped out from the college and faced the real life, I was a very emotional person.

Sometimes Jeff would complain about that, I got angry easily, and sometimes even for no reasons. I looked like every single human being in the planet had pissed me off, and I just take people acceptance and understanding for granted, especially those who loved me a lot. Because I thought that because they loved me, they should accept me as an artistic, weird and emotional person.

But when I experienced much more and interacted with more people, I understand my thought was totally wrong. No one have obligation to suffer from my mood swing. Then I know that everyone has responsibility to control his/ her emotion.

One day, Jeff told me I become much more mature than the first day we stayed together... Of course, already 10 years time.

And I find that actually, I am not that artistic as I believe...... hahahahahah.

Can the Christmas aroma sustain until Dec 25?

Sorry, maybe there is too much of a cliche, but I worry if I will get sickening by Christmas Carols in the 'actual' Christmas day.

Don't get me wrong, I love Christmas. That's why I want to save the original flavor and aroma of Christmas as much as possible. However, since everyone is already excited by the festive season right after the Halloween, with the bombardment of Christmas ornaments and Christmas songs everywhere, how can this excitement maintain for two months, at least to me?

Christmas, after all, is a religious festival, to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I am neither a Catholic nor Christian, but I think we should at least respect others' religions a bit, to remind ourselves the real meaning of the festive season - which should not only be shopping, partying, gift exchange and money burning.

It is just like your friends throw you a birthday party in Karaoke. The place is glamorous - plenty of wine and caviar, confetti blankets the floor, all guests dress gorgeously. However, all of them just got drunk and gone crazyduring the party,no one has ever said 'Happy Birthday to you', and even some of them do not know you are the birthday boy/ girl when they step in the Karaoke room. Isn't it sad?

我的肚子比籮大

我正在寫一本生活日誌，以散文形式，記錄我三年內兩度成為媽媽的驚喜旅程，過程有如過山車，當中的心情跟身形鉅變可謂嘆為觀止，小生命帶給我的快樂亦是始料不及。這套散文集叫"我的肚子比籮大"。

我的中文打字很差，但希望建立到網上版，跟你分享。

A pleasure

Am feeling happy because Jelly just praised my work. He said it is such a pleasure to review my work because it is pretty well done.

That's good. Improvement delivered!!!

******

Recently I am quite productive and effective, most of my works run rather smooth and I am energized. This is the positive outcome from the high hormonal level in the second trimester, plus getting help from another brain in my body - the one from my unborn child.

He should be a sparkling gem.

Swire Symphony Under The Star 2007

Thanks Daddy for helping us to get the free tickets for this biggest outdoor symphonic concert in Hong Kong. It will take place in Happy Valley Racecourse on Nov 30 night. Audience can enjoy the divine music under countless of twinkle stars (although we will not see any, most likely).

I told Jeff the tickets are his birthday gifts from my Daddy. His birthday is in end November. =)

Am anticipating it!!!!!

A different November

If I am not wrong, November was always a stressful month to me.

It was the time I had to prepare for examinations in school days or dived into the peak season in work days.

Therefore Thanksgiving day was very meaningful to me. Not because I celebrated this festival, but in tradition, after this day, people will start preparing for the Christmas. It seems not the case in Hong Kong in these two years though, because everywhere is already in Christmas decorations after the Halloween. Thanks to the aggressive consuming culture.

However, my main point is, I feel so happy in this November, I see the peace around me. Last week, I was praying for a good result for my unborn child, then I received a good news on Oct 31.

That's why November is a new start for me!!!!!

Love in the first sight

When those little white flowers on Daisy Marc Jacobs met my eyes, my heart just felt into it, at once.

Daisy Marc Jacobs is a newly launched Eau de toilette for young females. It perfectly blends notes of wild strawberry, violet leaves, red grape fruit, which creates a fresh, pleasant and girlish scent.

I am totally attracted by its stunning and cute bottle design. To me, it is irresistible. I have never bought perfume simply because of its package, until I met Daisy.

It is interesting that daisies themselves carry no scent, but this fragrance demonstrates the subtle beauty of these little white flowers.

Last night I blanketed myself in several sprays of Daisy before bed, then these golden droplets brought me a sweet dream....
