Not much happened and yet so much?
Haven't written in my blog for awhile, nothing much happened since my last entry. Life in Cambridge as a finalist is all about STUDY. You live for your studies. Every day, I get up, rush to lectures, fetch readings, go back to college, sort out what food to eat for lunch and dinner, try to concentrate to do the endless reading (usually not so successful)...go to bed when I am tired (sometimes not so tired, but it's 2 am and I know 7 hours are simply not enough)...These days I have been getting around 6-7 hours of sleep, most ppl would say it's fair amount. I need 8-9 hours!!!! I know I am a pig... but it's weird, having only 6-7 hours, I feel tired in the morning, but not so tired in the afternoon and evening....then I can't get to sleep at night!! It then becomes a viscious cycle...
Many people in Cambridge had been ill with influenza since Feb, I guess now it's about to end with spring coming and winter drawing to a close. We had the coldest 2 weeks ever (from 20th Feb til 6th March). I have not yet gotten sick yet, and I hope I won't. I usually catch things the last minute, when everyone has recovered, I start getting ill. Thus, I am really conscious of people sneezing, coughing next to/behind me, I can't help frowning when this happens. The fact that they do not cover their nose and mouth when they sneeze/cough is a big problem!!!! The people in this country has a really poor knowledge of hygiene. I often see british men and women spat on the street, I guess they want to know how it's like to have SARS in the UK. Hong Kong people have already learnt their lesson. I am not saying HK people are perfect and immaculate about their hygiene standards (cos then they wouldnt have contracted SARS), but at least they are aware of how unhygienic/disgraceful/rude it is to cough without covering the mouth, and to spit on the street... In order to stop getting ill every so often, the brits must learn to be cleaner!!!
Mr. J lent me Sex and The City Season 6 last sunday, finished it within a few days! At first I told myself that I had to restrict myself, only to watch one or maybe two episodes a day, but then once I started, I was unable to stop! I have really bad EQ! I love the show so much! Those women had to date for 20 odd years in order to really find the one. I have only been out in the market for around 5-6 yrs and I think I have found my Mr. RIGHT...does that mean the Mr. RIGHT who I think he is now isn't really my "THE ONE"? NO!!!!! I don't think so!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I 'd like to think the one is really the one........
I have now KO-ed the complete SATC series...should have no more distractions...GREAT!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
Me with Valentine's Flowers from Darling
written in the card,
" What a grand thing, to be loved. What a grander thing still, to love!!"
I feel so glad, dunno how to explain it..
.
Watched Briget Jones 2 last night...It's really funny. It seems that Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) is too good to be true, though we all hope that Mark Darcy really exists (optimally many similars), He has...
Good looks
Charming
is a lawyer
ABOVE ALL... HE LOVES Briget Jones and is obsessed by her (though he is very subtle)!!!! No matter how fat, humiliating she is at times...
...Somehow I thought to myself, I must not become like BJ, ...otherwise... >_<
(cos Ian darling is so much like Mark Darcy right now! Whenever I saw Colin Firth in the movie, I just thought of IAN...)

Third year CNY gathering at JIN LING on 10/2/05
GIANT CRABS!!!!
We had so much food (again)
-tea and rice (unlimited)
-soup (green and red legume and pork)
-chicken
-fish (lo yu?!)
-duck
-peipa tofu
-veg (choi sum)
-giant crabs (as shown above)
(not sure if I have missed out anything...)
It was such a lovely occasion, because
(i) The HK third years meet up for a meal, this hadnt happen for around 2 years already. This might probably one of the last chance that we would have as a reunion, while we are still in Cambridge before we all graduate and going in all directions.
(ii) I havent been to Jin Ling for a very long time!!! around 10 months?
(iii) So much nice food!
(iv) After dinner, Lydia, Kaikai, Wilson and I pretended that we wanted to hang out a bit, but Sam didnt really know our intentions...we deliberated hung around at CLOWNS, and sang HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sam at midnight! Suprise in the most subtle manner! Lucky boy, CNY plus birthday, how can it be better?

讓 男 人 花 點 錢
很 多 女 人 都 愛 阻 止 男 人 買 無 聊 東 西 ， 甚 麼 絕 版 VCD ， 甚 麼 兩 座 位 跑 車 ， 在 精 打 細 算 的 女 人 眼 中 都 是 不 必 要 的 ， 她 們 會 勸 男 人 多 儲 點 錢 。 事 實 上 很 多 男 人 儲 不 到 錢 就 是 因 為 在 這 花 一 點 ， 那 花 一 點 。
最 近 朋 友 B 置 了 業 ， 他 說 工 作 情 緒 突 然 高 昂 ， 如 今 早 上 起 床 有 一 個 原 因 。 有 時 候 讓 男 人 花 錢 才 可 令 他 們 更 努 力 賺 錢 ， 問 題 是 花 錢 應 該 買 男 人 的 心 頭 好 還 是 女 人 的 心 頭 好 ？
到 錶 行 選 錶 ， 售 貨 員 不 斷 游 說 我 買 較 貴 的 那 一 款 ， 她 說 ： 「 女 人 錫 男 人 的 荷 包 ， 所 以 男 人 就 更 應 該 買 點 東 西 來 疼 錫 女 人 ， 反 正 這 些 都 是 女 人 慳 回 來 的 。 」 售 貨 員 即 是 售 貨 員 ， 女 顧 客 聽 了 買 得 心 安 理 得 ， 而 男 人 又 不 敢 反 駁 。
賢 淑 女 子 常 有 一 個 壞 習 慣 ， 就 是 不 讓 男 人 花 錢 買 任 何 無 聊 東 西 ， 不 僅 是 給 自 己 或 是 給 情 人 。 長 期 如 此 是 非 常 傷 感 情 的 ， 即 使 你 不 准 他 買 《 魔 戒 》 限 量 版 VCD ， 也 要 批 准 他 買 汽 車 裝 飾 物 ， 否 則 很 快 他 就 會 覺 得 你 似 家 長 多 過 情 人 。
而 最 笨 的 女 人 就 是 不 讓 男 人 買 無 聊 禮 物 給 自 己 ， 反 正 他 不 花 錢 在 你 身 上 也 會 把 錢 花 在 其 他 無 聊 之 處 ， 那 不 如 益 益 自 己 。

Josh cooked ----> Red Quinoa-
It's the first time I tried it!
Red Quinoa (copied from the packet)- "One of the most sacred foods of the ancient Incas of South America. Nourishing, delicious and vital that they called it chesiya mama, the Mother Grain. It is one of the most ancient of all Quinoas and is now quite rare. Quinoa is superior to other grains because it is a complete protein, containing a higher quality of protein than any other grain. It is technically a seed, not a grain, and is gluten free. When cooked, the grain itself is soft and delicate, but the germ is crunchy, creating an interesting combination of textures. It is light, tasty and easy to digest. It is an excellent meat substitue in vegetarian dishes. It can be used in stir fries, soups, stews, slads and many recipes. It is ready to eat with minimal cooking. It may also be sprouted and then eaten raw."
Besides the Quinoa, we also had,
-Fried Tofu with mixed herbs and soy sauce.
- Stirfry courgette with tofu.
- Kai's mushroom stirfry.
- Chocolate fondue as dessert.
There were too much food! Josh could bring back all the left over back to Churchill as his Sunday lunch and dinner!

What else could I be?
Check these out~
http://users.pandora.be/stefdirrix/flash/queen.htm
http://www.boombastick.net/ <------ find the animations! They are funny! Poor Mr. Boomba!
Still writing an essay on The evolution of brain and intelligence! Must get it done tonight! But I just get distracted so much and I cant sit still!!! This essay is really interesting, it raised my awareness to issues which I didn't realise before. Comparative & Evolutionary Psychologists must have a very hard time...I guess Developmental Psychologists as well...They are people who deal with animals and babies, who don't have (not yet have acquired) language!!! Thus explaining behavioural results are so difficult! The danger of anthropomorphism and attributing more complicated explanations to phenomena while a simple one would suffice. Thought provoking indeed!
Was quite upset at the beginning of the week when my brother told me that he's not gonna come to my place for half term. Later when we eventually had a telephone conversation which lasted for 76 minutes at least, and when he told me about his little *secret*...I felt a little better. Haha...perhaps I feel worthy as a sister gua...(As a older sister of course I hope my brother would like to share his happiness and problems with me~)...It is also until now, I start to realise I am NOSEY! HOHOHO...I would do whatever I can to check out someone (someone whose information could grant me such a surge of motivation, usually people I am interested in) Perhaps I shouldnt be a student and be a private detective, or a secret agent, or be one of those tabloids' journalist who peep on celebrities! kakakaka.....
