On chocolate high

I need to keep this up... Work hard on Monday through Thursday. Catch up on my blog and Facebook on Friday. Do my volunteer work on Saturday. Then reward myself with a good and leisurely Sunday.

Had a great time out just now. Enjoyed 2 evenings of outdoors movie screenings at Leicester Square. Didn't finish last night's one before of the rain and my KCL Film Society movie screening, and was late for tonight's one. But well, better late than never! So, highlight 1 was updating my Facebook today, and managed to talk with a number of my friends and students online too.

Managed to put together my 'picnic bag' of food but it wasn't up to standard. Spent too much time earlier this afternoon updating my Facebook photos and forgot about the time. Sorry I was so late! But well, highlight 2: catching the series of old silent movies which slowly progressed to ones with colour and sound. Watching the movies at Leicester Square. And the experience is totally different when one is alone vs with company. Highlight 3: having someone serve as a guinea pig for my cooking. I've always enjoyed cooking, esp for other people. Hope his stomach is made of steel... *grin*

Had cold food in what was already a chilly evening. But moved on to a Chinese restaurant for some hot soup. Highlight 4: Ordering food using Cantonese. Yes, Cantonese are proud people. And I've never been more proud of being able to speak Cantonese. More than I am of being able to speak Chinese, actually.

Highlight 5: Having someone listen. I thought I had learnt to shut up in Singapore. Or maybe because I was talking all the time when I teach, so I grew to shut up after I started teaching. But now that I'm a student again, and was being encouraged to think more and speak up in class, I think I'm starting to be my talkative self again. Of course, one needs a nice person who listens... Thank you for listening! Do shut me up more often and talk about yourself next time, k?

Highlight 6: Being told that I'm a 'young and attractive' gal, I was (and still am, in fact) pretty stunned to hear that. So I kinda missed which noun you said after the 3 words... I think I have never heard that ever... So, thank you!

Highlight 7: See picture below. Look at my face. Enough said...
