Roundtable

I learn Roundtable Group from Cup Magazine.

It is a Research Institute which aims at developing a platform for young generations to learn, discuss and express their point of views of various Hong Kong issues, from sustainable development to heritage conservation.

The group is formed by professional from various aspect, such as political commentators, professors, accountants, civil servants, university students, etc. To achieve self reliance and responsibility, the group was restructuring into Roundtable Enterprise and Roundtable Community in 2006, which offer services of research & event consultancy, travel and exchange activities, education and design work.

Roundtable Group offers E-Journal online, please access the below link for further information:

High recommend you to have a look, then you will know that apart from pollutants and the blossoming stock market, Hong Kong is much more than that.

101Things You Need To Know (... and Some You Don't)

Jealous Lucas took away the book '101Things You Need To Know' from my hands several times, because he didn't want me to spend more time on it. Frankly speaking, once you pick it up, it is difficult to put it down.

There are 101 facts the book is going to tell you. 101 star stickers come with it, if you think you can master a 'thing to know', you can put a achieved star on the page.

The basic need to read this book is, as mentioned - 'A secret hiding place for this book' (you see my case now, I worry Lucas will flush it into toilet on day'. It also requires you to have 'A brain like a sponge'.

Give you a glimpse about what facts will be taught in this book, here are the examples:

What is the Sixth Sense?

Why do we dream?

Were all Roman from Rome?

Who invent the Internet?

What happens in the Bermuda Triangle?

Can you sneeze with your eyes open?

Is your teacher an alien?

I admit, all topics are very 'discovery science'... people know me well now understand why I love this book a lot, because I am a 'discovery science' junkie!!

4th Wedding Anniversary

Tomorrow will be our 4th Wedding Anniversary. I want to send a big big kiss to Jeff. You are always my best husband. Thanks for your caring and patience to this weird, rebellious, pessimistic and stubborn Manki.

I do not know where I have guts to pick up another life-long project - to become a mother of our second baby, sometimes when people ask me how come I wanna have another baby, I cannot give them an answer, or just provide a rationalized answer, but I know from my heart, I have such courage simply because I love you and you give me strengths all the time.

Hope we will share all happiness and bitterness together in the future. Thank you!!!

A physical challenge

Being pregnant and taking care of a 1 year old kid at the same time is a tough physical challenge to me.

I just want to sleep through my holidays.

讀書樂

剛過了的週日，我取消了小提琴課，讓自已歇一下，並跟謝菲及小朗B享受清閑的早晨。

我們先去又一城的超級三文治吃過一頓豐富早餐(小朗B搶吃了一大塊火蹆及煎蛋)，跟著到壹頁堂看書。在壹頁堂內，起初小朗B還是中規中矩，怎知逛到中文書部變得異常興奮，一手取了倪匡的<夢裡的話.酒後的話>，再跑到走廊中央，一邊坐下一邊大力摺皺書皮。我阻止他並表演徒手捉B時，有位先生在旁欣賞並發笑。

其實當天我們買了很多書，每人也有收穫，其中兩套我最喜歡是：

"我的低能之道"

同事陳是作者馬仔的粉絲。馬仔是一位典形的OL女人仔，現己是全職創作人了。在這書她以漫畫描述她在家庭、工作、讀書及生活的低能事，令你捧腹大笑。我當日已看畢，並借了給妹妹，有笑同爆。


馬仔有一個網站，有興趣可以去hea一下 http://www.maggiemarket.com/。



"The Miniature World of Peter Rabbit"

是買給小朗B的，我也很喜歡。小小的盒內藏有十二本Beatrix Potter的名著，是一套很漂亮的Pocket Library。

這個週日很疲倦，又很滿足。

Put some sheer blackberry on my lips

This is the next beauty item I wanna have - Clinique Almost Lipstick Sheer Blackberry.

A hint of dark red colour matches perfectly with A/W outfits and black wears, it is the best touche up for a look of rebellious girl look. Yes, this is the image I am going to create in this winter... isn't it funny for a pregnant woman to look a bit naughty and deviant?

Just kidding, but I have never tried such dark colour before. I guess the last trend of deep red lips was in early 90s - Christy Chung was the best demonstrator of such make up style. However, it would be a modified version this year, sheer texture should come with the dark shade to make the lips more kissable and radiant. I guess Clinique is a good choice, and I heard that MAC is not bad also.

However, to create a rocky girl look, I should get well soon and start to do some exercise, otherwise, it can be very awful to my pale complexion goes with the dark lips, or I should save this horrible look for Halloween.

I am a mean girl

I have just called off the search of Jelly. Finally he came back to Hong Kong from some place else. He was out of town to a mysterious place about a half month.

Maybe we have not seen him for quite a long time, we feel he looks a bit different, or maybe he is just tired.

In the afternoon, my interesting colleague, who likes Jelly a lot, came into my room and was whispering 'Oh your boss is back...why did he shave his hair?'

I replied straightly 'He didn't shave his hair, he lost it.'

Definitely the above dialogue is in Cantonese, not Jelly's mother tongue.
