Cooking

Ever since the morning sickness kicks in almost a month ago, I stopped cooking. Because I cannot stand the smell in the kitchen, esp the fridge, to the extend that I have to held my breath every time I open the fridge. I can assure you that it is not because of any spoiled food in the fridge, and I have also just recently changed the fridge dedoriser. Unfortunately for Mr M, he has to eat out almost every single meal because of this. Oh, and morning sickness has no morning-ness about it. It strikes THROUGHOUT the day.... arghhhhhhh

oh dear, just the thought of it is enough to make me nausesous......

Pride and Prejudice

Yesterday they were showing the latest cinema adaptation of the novel, starring Keira Knightley, on TV. I watched for about 15 mins and decided to change channel. This is one of my favourite novels of all time, and I have watched the BBC adaptation for over 10 times I think, and the scenes are so deeply etched in my head that I could not accept anyone other than Colin Firth to be Mr Darcy, and anyone other than Jennifer Ehle to be Lizzy. I watched it so many times that I can tell the next line before it is said.... I like it so much that I wanted to have same hair-do and dress as Lizzy when she's in the ball at Netherfield. (which, by the way, didn't come true in the end as I would need to spend a lot more time to get the hair done, and I couldn't find any dress that has an 19th century feel to it)

This reminds me of the TV drama North and South, starring Patrick Swayze and James Read. The drama was aired on Pearl when I was, perhaps, 7? We taped it and I was watching it over and over again, to the extend that I could memorise the lines (again...) I wonder it this is the reason why Clare likes the name Ashley so much?? Anyway I'll check out if I can find the DVD from HMV for some nostalgic moments.

it's blog-time!

everyone's writing blogs... so i guess it's time for me for another new post!



tropical depresssion Pabuk (who was once a tropical cyclone Pabuk, pictured left, when it was approaching Hong Kong) has now gone passed us. not that i matters much to me, since i don't work anymore, but there is still some disappointments to see its decline to a mere depression. at least we have slight relief from the recent heat wave so it's not totally 'useless'.





speaking of typhoons, i remembered one of the topics in the my HKCEE chinese language writing paper was something like 'when typhoon hits home'. of course i didn't choose this topic, but i can't remember which one i've chosen. i only remember the first sentence of my composition, which was 'Last sunday I went shopping with my mom.' This was a classic way to start a composition for 8-year-olds... but still I scored better than my sister Kay, who just got her results yesterday, with 7As but an F for chinese writing! HA!
