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....
