The way to a woman's heart is through her stomach

I spent the weekend munching. I was just thinking how I should spend my time more efficiently like finish the stack of books I have sitting by my bed, but then the medic asked me if I wanted Italian on Friday so I said yes. Then Saturday I got my promised donut because I had been good all week and ate 5 portions of fruit and vege for at least three days. I am so proud of myself. I normally get in around one portion if I am lucky. I am going to keep on trying to eat healthy so I can get a donut at the end of the week. I had Lebonese for dinner on Saturday with the medic which in our opinion was ever so healthy as there were bits of tomato and lettuce in our food. Our diet normally doesn't include vegetables as the ophthalmologist eats enough greens for the three of us. We went out clubbing in Lan Kwai Fong after dinner. Pi was pretty good as there was a good crowd of very cute boys *cough cough*. The banker bailed out as he said he was too old for this kind of thing. -_- We got back just before daylight haha. Cinderella doesn't need to ride a pumpkin when there are two doctors to make sure she gets back in one piece. How I managed to wake up for mass was a miracle.

I had dimsum for lunch on Sunday with the teacher as I felt like having 'siu long pau' but when I got there, I forgot to order it. Then I went back to church for my lenten confession. I have to admit, my faith has been taking a nosedive since I came to Hong Kong. While Hong Kong is predominatly Buddhist, there are many christian groups that actively promote their cause. I am humbled by their entheusiasm but also annoyed when they try to engage me to join their activities every week without fail. While I approve that Christians should evangelise to the people around them, it doesn't really do much good for one Christian denomination to evangelise to another as everyone believes in the same God anyway *shrugs*. The priest made a very interesting observation: "Christians show their love by spreading joy." So, just by being a happy person, you are able to show God's love. I like that idea. I think I am a happy person. Maybe if you cut out the sugar intake I may be less happy but still happy nontheless.

Oh, I got my craved 'siu long pau' at dinner with the banker. I love 'siu long pau' and the shanghainese restaurant we went to had the most amazing 'siu long pau'. My plans to leave Hong Kong just about evaporated when I had them. I should practice resisting tempation. Food is not good for me. I become biased to a particular place. Shopping here is so good that everyone should come here. So far, I have got two new summer dresses, a pair of distressed jeans and a crystal pendant and earrings for summer. I can't wait for summer! I have started to wear skirts and the boys don't look too comfortable with my presence when I wear them skirt things. They look at me as if I am wearing something funny and walk at an arm's length behind me. =( Maybe it's the huge ass bruise I have on my knee.
