multifunctional dry lavender ::

Last Saturday, I walked around the L'occitane in QVB....wooo, not attracted but its products, but the dry lavender instead. Dropping down $10, I took one pack home for decoration. Sunday morning when I woke up, the whole living room is full of the lavender smell!!! I was so amazed. Not as strong as those electronic air fresheners, but so natural and so real!! That's just incredible. I know lavender has been used as kind of fragrance added in toilette, hand cream, shampoo, soap, room spray and some other similar stuffs. The essential oil of lavender can help relaxing and refreshing. Well, that's nothing new...however when I chatted with my friend, who is a crazy lavender lover, I learnt a lot more...and so much surprised.....
Lavender is eatable. Beside the japenese use it to make creative cheese cake, most people drink it as flower tea, by adding some dry lavender in hot water with honey. It would reduce stress and refine skin. Something unexpected is, it also has been used as medicine to cure headache, stomach-ache, insomnia, cough and bad breath. Just can't imagine how smart human are. Maybe some days later I gonna eat my lavender when I get mad with the assignments.

Of course there're many people like me use lavender as decoration...not for a particular purpose, but just wanna put some plants n flowers there to make home more lively. The French lavender fields are so famous in photography. My mum has one on her office desk. By the way....standing in the extensive violet lavender field is one of my travel dream.

Seriously, lavender has lots of unexpected function....such as a cat toy...if you'd like to. My kitty at home can't stop playing n scratching the dry lavender that I've just bought..makes it everywhere!! Hey if you have a cat at home, better to buy a lavender room spray or a picture, instead of a real one.

famine 30::

In Hong Kong, every year there's a campaign call "Famine 30", which is organized by the World Vision. At that day, thousands of people gather around to suffer to feel to experience famine for 30 hours. It not only for donating money, but also remind us the hardness of hungry. This year we have more than 5000 people took part in the campaign.

Part of them are singers, artors and celebrities. Finally, they did something meaningful to the community...

I was once joined the campaign, so unforgettable. The first few hours we just played group games, watched vedios.......but after lunch time...dinner time, OMG....my stomach was awfully painnnnnn!! everyone around me looked so tired.....i wondered how could we survive for the next 20 hours??...but at that moment i can really understand how the south aferican children suffering when there're nothing to eat....even clean water. Well it's just 30 hours....they may have 30, 40 , 50 years.......In Chinese, some body said,[as long as it's not me, i dun care]*事不關己己不勞心。

Everyone is like that. However, if nobody wanna "help", what would the world like?...we live in a wealthy environment with all material satisfied, but there're more than one third of the world are suffering famine and more importantly, every 7 seconds, one child died from it.
So what? I think everybody know the fact but just keep ignoring it. I think the first thing could do is to educate ppl, make them alert....and to treasure what they r having now.

Dun no y....i just feel so sorry for them n really wanna help them. however there're somebody joined the "famine 30" just for fun or for free concert.......n they quited in the middle....they r so annoying n extremely shameful. ....i 'm not that warm hearted but just only wanna express my own feeling.

Go Go Goal Attack!!

Hey i'm backed.....being sick for the whole week, i feel so dumppppp. All these days are tired tired n tired. I don't know since when i become so weak. Probably because of zero exercise for ages i supposed. [sigh] too much workload....besides that i use to watch tv, eat n sleep all days, that's my life now. But i think from now on i should start to make myself STRONGER!! well....gotta start exercising.

When i was in high school. I like netball very very very much. It's just incredibly exciting n fun! But as i know there's not much ppl have even heard abt it, ummmm.......it actually like kind of woman basketball, u may imagine in this way. There are total 7 players in each team, mainly divided into two main roles--"attackers" n "defencers". The Goal Attack(GA) n Goal Defence(GD) are mainly focus on the goal scoring. There're also the "Wings",Wing Attack(WA) and Wing Defence (WD) who mainly focus on passing the ball. The other three are "Goal Shotter"(GS) for ball shotting, "Goal Keeper" (GK) for defencing the shotter n "Centre" (C)....just runing n runing to help tarnsfering balls. I know it's quite confusing, hope that i hvn't bored ppl. By the way...check out netball in wikipedia if u wanna know more=]

I always being asked to be the Centre (C) and Wing Attack (WA).....i always have to run n run n run in the netball court. Sometimes i really like to shot...but they won't let me as i'm too SHORT!!! Becoz of the height, i can't shot well n the GK or GD will block me like a bear'''' n i can't catch the rebounds as well... however, i'm really gd at running. I enjoy being an attacker to catch n pass the ball in a second like lighting, haha, how energetic!!
I like running, shouting n sweating on each competition. It gives me energy, gives me excitment. But i didn't play it for a long long time......when i go to UTS, maybe i'll join the team. Well...will they accept me as a tiny one but run like a mouse? ...probably gonna train back for a while first~

Hopefully i will start exercising every weekends from now on. Not only for strengthen the body, but also mentally get more oxygen for my brain to work more efficiently.......not always tired n dizzy. Hey r there anyone wanna join me? Some ppl may thought me crazy...however, sports can make u fresher. It just heats up ur whole body n makes u much smarter!! n you'll surely find fun form it, believe me!

wanna be on stage::

I have forgotten how long do i stopped dancing..... probably two or three years at least. Before that i started dancing for 6 years and i was a student dancer in hong kong dance company. My teacher is the principle dancer of hkdc, miss her a lot. I can still remember the strugges of stretching and the smell of sweat. I like group dance and the feeling of team spirit on the stage. I like our hard work can satisfy the audiences. However, i can dance no more. Not only because of the age, of couse it does a bit, but more importantly, i was hurt in my last performance. I can still clearly remember what was happened. When almost finish the whole dance, there's a post of lying down on the stage floor with both legs bended and then using the waist strength to push the whole body up. It's not hard at all as we've practiced more than a thousand times.However maybe i moved too fast or push too hard or used the strength wrongly or whatever, suddenly i feel something wrong with my back. After scanning a x-ray, it said that my backbone has been shifted !!!! OMG, it's so hurt!! At first i supposted it's just only hurt in the muscle but i never thought of that's bone!!! It's really pain and at least last for half a year. Even when standing and sleeping i couldn't straighten my back.....and so i forced to stop dancing. I really really love dancing and so much don't wanna give up the time and effort in all those years because of that sudden and stupid accident. But i could do nothing.....feel extremely helpless. Since that i start to watch every dance performances shown and always visit the dance company. That's cheer me up. Even thought i can't dance, but i can still feel it, sense it and enjoy it. I'm not gonna leave it. Things are often happenning out of our expectation. We feel hopeless but still gonna face it. Even there's nothing u may change, we can't always cry cry cry and sigh sigh sigh, right? Hope that i can keep that in mind, in what ever tough situation. By the way, i still hoping that one day i can step on the stage again.
