混亂的定義

混亂的定義 ﹣ 你在封塵的CD架上找到中學時買下的Highlights from The Phantom of the Opera,然後興高采烈拿去播放。但當一開CD盒時，你看到卻是極粗眉的吳鎮宇，黃子華和張達明。。。原來那是鬚根Show 3的DVD。那反高潮促使你心裏駡了一聲媽的。

Stylish Linus

Linus loves beautiful things, he appreciates elegance and delicacy.

I sprayed on a few drops of Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere this morning. When I walked pass Linus, he said 'mmm... I smell something really nice, what is that?'

My boy!! xxx

生日派對

Lucas就來生日了，我們準備為他舉行派對。問他派對中有甚麼遊戲。
他說：我想整條冇燈嘅隧道，地下放好多架車仔。跟住啲小朋友要由一邊跑到另一邊。踩到車仔嘅就跣低，踩唔到就可以去到出口，一開門就見到個生日蛋糕啦。
我說：。。。。。好似幾好玩，但係跌低嗰啲小朋友會唔會好慘呢？
他說：唔會，跣低嗰啲我會帶佢哋去一間房先，跟住佢哋都可以去睇個蛋糕㗎。
其實，Lucas這個遊戲都幾有趣，不過會嚇呆其他家長啊！

Got tired

Frankly, I really got tired with all those hoaxes and urban legends, and all those brutal and blooding photos of animals, which aim to evoke your empathy toward abused animals, spreading in fb.

In fb, you cannot tell a friend to stop sending out those horrible photos which make you vomit.  Why can't I?  Because they are just my friends but not close friends, I cannot predict how they would respond if I do so.

It is even harder for me to tell my friends not to post those silly hoaxes.  Even they are doubt about the stories, they spred them out anyway just in case.  This act actually brings negative impact to the society in some subtle ways, such as to maximize the stereotyping or even discrimination to certain group of people.  However, I don't bother to tell my 'friends' what I think, I don't want to look different and stand out and wait for an academic debate with others in the virtual world.

To stop such irritation, I would rather not visiting those social media.  Sigh.....

Non stop bread baking

Can you imagine I bake bread for my family almost everyday this week?

Glazed sweet bread rolls

They ate my bread during breakfast and snack, am still not tired with it.  

Jamie Oliver stated in a bread recipe that dough kneading is therapeutic.  I couldn't agree more!  You won't think much when you knead except focusing on that lovely dough.

See the creation I made!!  =)

Chocolate sweet bread rolls

Au natural

I found this very interesting project through Mail Online: http://www.thenakedfaceproject.com/

Being a woman, I always feel empowered by makeup and perfume.  They give me confidence.  However, since the first week I wore make up everyday (it was right after the birth of my second baby), I felt there was no u-turn.  I felt insecure to go out without dabbing some foundation or at least tinted moisturizer on my face.  I am not the extreme one.  At least, I just wear very light make up, or nude make up (i.e. you wear make-up but it is as natural as no make up).  However, I know it is not psychological healthy.  It is just like a kind of compulsive obsession.

That's why this project caught my attention.

Frankly, I wouldn't join this project officially but I am impressed and inspired by the two founders.  I would try to use less beautifying products (actually, at they really effective or are they just giving users hope or good feeling?  Only the manufacturers know!).  It is a bit hard for me to go out with bare face at the moment, but I will reduce the number of things I put on my skin.  =)

家長這身份

老實說，我成為媽媽前從沒有當媽媽的憧憬。（不要誤會,我那兩個活寶貝是計劃生育的成果。）就因為這樣，成為人母後所經驗的每一件小事，我也覺得新奇得來有點古怪。

例如跟孩子們上親子班，好像抱著一舊小粉團唱歌跳舞，總覺得有禮貌的家長們暗地裏比試著孩子們的表現，覺得有點搞笑，但說不出為何搞笑。心裏又有點不安，想跟仔仔說這裏很不cool，媽媽想去飲杯alcoholic drink，你想一塊兒去嗎。。。

第一次參與parents’ day (一個讓家長們互想認識的gathering)，拿著盛滿即溶咖啡的紙杯，然後對著其他家長傻笑，跟著開始懷疑自己是否有社交恐懼症。。。

最有趣是哥哥上年九月開始要做功課。第一次見到那些手冊和回條上的家長簽名一欄，先大笑地說家長簽名這件事實在太retro，太老套了，定過神來，才猛然醒覺我就是那名要在虛線上簽名的老土家長！
