A chocolate dip donut, please

Date: I think is 1995

Time: Can't remember, I think is between lunch and dinner

Venue: A room in CAB, U of A

People: Ida, GGG

GGG: I am going to the cafe(teria). Do you want to have anything?

Ida: ...... get me a chocolate donut then.

GGG: What kind of chocolate donut?

Ida (a bit frustrated): What different kind of chocolate donuts I can have then?

GGG: A lot -- chocolate donut, chocolate dip donut, chocolate sprinkle donut, chocolate-chocolate donut...

Ida (cutting in): OK, OK. A chocolate dip donut then.

P.S. This box of delicious donuts makes me think of something in the last century.

In search of a comfortable cushion

Lately, I am having some difficulty sitting up still as my back gets tired very easily. So, I have been looking around for a suitable cushion that can fit the gap between my back and the chair's.

I tried using the one my colleague gave me, but it seems too hard. I tried bringing the one at home to the office, but it seems to "thick".

So, you should now kind what're the main criteria for the right one -- soft and thin.

I spent quite a while at the IKEA several nights ago, touching and pushing every single cushion. Finally, I found this one in the kids' section (again!) -- it's thin and soft, and I think there's an elephant on it. Unfortunately, the original cover was made up of fabric that attracted dust very easily, which is bad for my nose. So I got this red one, cheapest in the section :P

We seem to get along very good these few days, which is very very good :)

Every year around this time...

... they will close and clean the "lake" in HK Park. But this year, they seem to changing the landscape as well. Managing a park (even not a theme park) is a difficult issue.

No milk?

Just watched a TV programme about the down side of milk consumption (it happened that the producer is the one I worked with for the corporate video on CEDAW and HK women development two years ago). My first thought was "what would happen to the farmers due to this 'no milk campaign'"? Second image flashed across my mind was those "drink milk" commercials a decade ago across the US and Canada to encourage the youngsters to drink milk (they were shown mainly during cartoon time in Saturday morning). Third thing I remembered was the sudden drop of milk prices after Canada joined some free trade pact (WTO?) and the Canadian government had to remove its control to safeguard milk prices.

Very random thoughts.

Lately, I seem not quite comfortable with any types of coffee served at the Starbucks and Pacific Coffee, and very often I have a cup of hot milk instead.

Still very random thoughts... ...

Ching-ming and Easter Long Weekend

It's almost the end of the second day of the five-day Ching-ming and Easter long weekend. Before the holiday, you will be looking for it. When it's starting to leave, you are feeling very very sad.

May be I shouldn't have any holiday at all.

P.S. Feeling a bit moody after long walk from Arts Centre to the MTR station tonight.

"Colourful Lives of Women" TV Series

I suddenly remember that I haven't mentioned anything about the TV series I am sort of involved during the last several months. It's a series of 5-minuters on the contribution of local women's groups in women empowerment. Make sure you check out the archive:
