My weekend .

EP

My weekend made me felt tired ...
i wish i can extend my weekend , even only 3 more hours ....

# Saturday , i had a busy morning duing with something which
actually non of my business ....
# Someone's wedding car with a pair of " Stitch " as decor ,
well ... seems something new since most of ppl use " Hello Kitty " .
# Sunday morning ... no hustle bustle on the street ,
very quiet outside but not my mind .
# A parade in Causeway Bay to celebrate beforehand the
coming of National Day of China .
# i feel numb after million times back bending and hand stand .
# After the Chicken McNuggets as dinner in McDonald , i got sore throat .
# Wondering anyone can tell me what is " Portuguese sauce " ?
# Trying to find out how to eat a can of " Cranberry sauce " .

.
.
.
.
.


I actually just want some more sleep , and i hate to handle so many things
which in fact non of my business .

Resting Weekend .

EP
====



Most of the time i feel like i am chubby like a panda .
When i am practicing yoga or doing other sports ,
i feel like a clumsy panda moving around , sweating ....

Maybe panda should find itself a zoo ... a zoo , where
only keep panda but nothing else inside ... that means " alone " .
So that it can try to turn itself into other creatures ....
Sound impossible .. how can panda turn itself into a bird ?


Enjoy ~


Eurasian beauty

HP ####




Jessica Gomes is an Australian model of Singaporean and Portuguese heritage who appeared in the 2008 & 2009 Swimsuit issue of the United States–published magazine Sports Illustrated.




Jessica was born in Perth, the baby of a family that includes two older sisters, an older brother, a Portuguese father, and a Singaporean mother.




When she's not walking the catwalks, Jessica enjoys interior design, yoga, dancing, painting, gymnastics, playing tennis, squash, surfing, swimming, and boxing.




She is one of the perfect examples of what we know as Eurasian.




Some excerpts from her Sports Illustrated interview.

If I didn't have any responsibilities for a week, I would go to ...
I would get on a plane and go to India. No [laughs], I don't know. I'd probably get on a plane and go see my family in Portugual.
  • If I didn't have any responsibilities for a week, I would go to ...
I would get on a plane and go to India. No [laughs], I don't know. I'd probably get on a plane and go see my family in Portugal.

  • The one thing I hate for people to know about me is that I ...
I'm a private person. Nobody's perfect, but I hate it when people talk about my private life, I mean, that's in general. Or if you embarrassed yourself and people bring that up again, that moment that you embarrassed yourself, I hate that.

  • An athlete I have a secret crush on is ...
I did have a big crush on Cristiano Ronaldo, but for an athlete he's a bit of a [jerk]. My father's from Portugal, so my father's a soccer fiend and we went to Portugal for the European Cup in 2004 and he was really kind of cute. Out of all the sports, I like soccer players. Right now I think I like Nuno Gomes. He has the same last name as me. Yeah, Nuno Gomes, he's cute. I'm definitely into the Portuguese soccer players [laughs].



  • How about an entertainer?
I really have a secret crush on Johnny Depp. He's a great, great actor. He's a sexy guy without even trying. I think he's just got this coolness. He seems really cool and down-to-earth, but he's so sexy and he's got that whole package. He's just so talented. He's just probably the coolest guy at the moment. He's got really great taste. Yeah, I love his movies. I think he's a really great, great actor, and really good at what he does, yet really humble and creative.

My personal hero is ...
My father is probably my hero. He's an amazing father. He immigrated to Australia when he was 21. He traveled around the whole world, met my mother, an Asian woman. In Portugal, bringing home an Asian woman, and vice versa with my parents, is a big deal. My parents are still together now, after 36 years. My parents are heroes to me, both my mom and my father. I think that they've done a really good job and I've only started appreciating that since moving to New York. I'm lucky that I come from such a loving, normal background and my parents are still together because I think it's not nice when you come from a broken family. That's one thing that I really look up to in my parents. Because it's tough!

  • How do you feel about environmental issues such as global warming or pollution?
Shoot, this is coming after me talking about buying a fur coat. Especially in America, I think that we really do need to start recycling and saving our trees because the air right now is so polluted. I think we need to save as many trees as we can and really cut down on plastics and paper. We all need to do a little bit extra and not turn a blind eye to all these things that we're wasting. I remember I went to the grocery store the other day and I bought a muffin or something, and it came wrapped in, literally, 10 pieces of paper and I was like, "I don't need this much paper!"

Sketches .

EP
===







Passed by an painting exhibition last night ,
" Buda Leung -- Hang / Around "
When i enjoying those pictures , i had compulsion in
my mind that to steal one of them back home .
( Just last for few seconds ... )

Never learn painting or sketching formally , only remember
i did sketching for a pair of shoes in Art class when still in school ,
scored 97 points .... pretty high scoring .

But i admired those who can stare at an object for an hour ( or more ) ,
draw down all the details ... There eyes are just like a camera ,
captured all the details first , using their brains and hands to print
the portraits out .

This exhibiation reminded me a British artist " Lorette Roberts "
Who did sketches about Hong Kong .





Autumn and rain

EP
===




i can smell and feel the arrival of Fall ,
Need to bring my cardigan with me these few days ,
The refreshing breeze in the morning kick away the
sufocating , damply air and help to wake me up .

However ,


Such thick clouds telling me it may rain this weekend .

High heels , from 0 - 80 years old .

EP
===





Today's gossip :

3 years old Suri Cruise ( Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes 's daughter )
sporting a pair of high heels while shopping with mom in Boston .
Tom told the " Hello Magazine " that Suri will never wear trousers ,
and When Katie showed her a pair of gold-colored sneakers , Suri
said " 'Oh mommy, these are lovely, but they're boy shoes ... "
( Via : PopSugar , UsMagazine )





Suri is sweet and lovely from those News pictures today ,
what a little fine lady . I also urged for a pair of similar high heels
when i was younger ... everytime when passed throught the " Barbie "
corner in " Toys"R"Us " . ( OK .... even NOW not only in younger age) .
She reminded me some months before , a company launched high heels
for baby age between 0-6 months . So cute ~

Chinese proverb have something called " 3 years old decide 80 " .
One's personality formed in our younger age , and will affect what
kinda person one will become when we grown .


Maybe Suri will become the next super star ... who knows ?!

What is $2,450 millions .

EP
===





Let me do a little weather forecast base on this photo .
---> This week will have rain .

i guess if i lives by the sea , i will see a stunning sunset
with such beautiful sky and color .
Wondering how much it cost for a house with sea view ...
Or ,
even river view .
Or,
at upper floor .

Last week , a new luxury residential building " The Masterpiece "
located in TST been launched to the market . For an apartment on 56/F,
size 618 sq.ft with 1 living room + 1 bedroom sold at $2,450 millions .
60% more expensive than an luxury private house in London .

$2,450 millions equal to :

# Apartment with size 395 sq.ft X 21 units
# A white-collar worker with average salary $10,500 per month ,
have to work over 195 years and 5 months .
# Benz E-Class E250( Coupe , 59.9 million per one )X 41 units
# iPhone 3GS 32GB($6,288 per one )X 3,896 units


May i have 10% from that $2,450 millions ?

Little bit of my weekend .

EP

That's my weekend ....
The sky was so bringt and blue on Saturday that it didn't look like
a typhoone is coming Hong Kong . But the air was stuffy and hot which
somehow maybe an omen . Another badminton day ( tired ! ) and i've
slightly twisted the muscle at my left thigh , i guess i am getting old or
maybe some problems with my whole left leg .
The hosue near the badminton court have a same name as mine . i am
so happy to find such house building . It is an other omen ?


Every where is selling lanterns for the coming mid-Autumn festival ,

i received a big box of snowy mooncake with 7 different flavors ,
want to make myself a lantern this year .
also saw some vintage toys in the flea market , a water jar sells $5 and
10 pieces ceramic cups sells $10 ... what a good place for " treasure hunting " .



i had a simple weekend .

Sugar myth .

EP
===

Let's have a little calculation on how many sugar i've
absorbed from my breakfast this morning .

One sugar cube represent 1 teaspoon sugar .






......
i get lost .... i don't know how to count ...
i only know the answer = A LOT .
There are some healthy products on the market
saying carbohydrate will transform into sugar , too many
sugar inside the body will transform into fat . Too many fat
inside a body make you overweight .
So ... The product can help on bending the absorbing on sugar
so to avoid gaining on weight ... bla bla bla
So many transformations , sounds like something related to
alchemy .

At the end i only care if my breakfast taste good .
