MPF APPLICATION

I got the MPF Application form and a thick MPF handbook today. My company asked me to hand in before Friday. I have no idea what kinda investment I should choose. I don't think I will choose Capital Preservation Fund. It's for elder employees. I used to choose high risk investment in my past jobs but I have never checked the reward I got. I have a feeling that I can't get my money back after retirement. Or I should say I'm not sure whether I can wait until 60 years old or not. It's a long long way...

Now I got MPF accounts in Standard Chartered Bank, Manulife and HSBC. I don't want to manage so many accounts. I think it's better to combine all my accounts soon. Anyone knows how to do?

MIKLY SHOWER


Nothing is better than taking a relaxing shower after a long tiring day. I like listening Jazz music and enjoy a hot shower. Today I first tried this Body Shop milk shower cream, it really smells milky! It says it helps to smooths and softens the skin. I can't see any big difference after showering tho. But I like the smell, feel like I'm eating milk candy :P

HIKING IN SUNSET PEAK


Haven't been hiking for a long time! I'm so tired. Remember last Spring I hiked almost once a week. I don't really like hiking in Spring, it's so humid and the mist causes poor visibility. I hiked in Sunset Peak which is from Tung Chung to Lantau Island. I heard it was the 2nd highest hills in Hong Kong. Is that true? The path wasn't rough but there was so many stone steps! It was so tiring to walk to the top. I didn't take many pics coz the weather wasn't good.



There were little huts on the hill and I heard they were built by the British armies long time ago. The huts were locked so I couldn't get in it. It looks like a good place to play war game.

PRIDE & PREJUDICE


I can't remember if I have read Pride and Prejudice before, I couldn't quite call to mind when I watched this film. How can I miss the most famous English literature? :P I'm not that into romance but this film was so heartwarming and entertaining. The actor and actress are charming and their acting is Oscar worthy. I like the song "Dawn" that Lizzie Bennet played in the film. But I have no idea who wrote this song. It sounds like Mozart's Sonata. Let see whether I can get the sheet music or not.

It makes me want to read the book after watching this film. I think I better not to buy a novel again coz I have so many books at home that I haven't started to read :P Yay I searched from the internet and I got online version. It's great!! Hopefully I can get time to read it: http://www.austen.com/pride/

BAD FRENCH CUISINE

I have never tasted real French cuisine, tonight I got chance to try it. It locates in Tsim Sha Tsu Cameron Road, the restaurant name doesn't sound like French :P It sounds like Chinese restaurant. This restaurant is more like a pub and the interior design is so local. The food was only ok. I only appreciated the salad and the steak. I didn't like the red wine and cheese cake. They tasted bad. I was so disappointed with it.

I shouldn't complain about it coz it's not a high class French Restaurant. A four courses set didn't cost much. At least I had good time with my friends and I enjoyed those Jazz music.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN















I have been waiting to watch Brokeback Mountain since it was released in States. Finally it is released today. I had a high expectation of it coz it got lots awards and excellent reviews. And the cowboys romance sounds interesting. This movie was shot beautifully, no question about it. The characters acted well. But it wasn't as good as I thought. This film has a simple slow plot and it was a little bit boring at the begining. The ending was not bad and it was touching. But if you are not ready to watch two men get involved romantically onscreen, it's better not to go. Someone kept talking to me that it was disgusting LOL It was acceptable for me tho LOL
