Murad

當我前天在Joyce Beauty看不見Murad的蹤跡，我真的叫了一句：「大鑊。」

在好一段日子以前已經寫過Murad的產品，有好些產品我現在還有用，不過究竟是哪一種產品會令我覺得「大鑊」呢？

就是Acne Body Wash。

在夏天來臨之際，才買不到這個沒有代替品的產品，除了「大鑊」之外，我想不到可以形容我感受的詞語。

我急不及待地在網上找到代理的電話，才知道Murad在 iSquare 和新蒲崗的 Mikiki 開了店，店的名字是Acca Kappa / H & Beauty。

我昨天就去了買東西了，令我喜出望外的是價錢比2008年的時候還要低，那時的售價是$395，現在是$350。但是我不得不贊成 Joyce Beauty 讓香港人認識及信任這個品牌，所以mark up都挺合理的。

Arts Faculty, The University of Hong Kong

I believe many Arts alumni of the University of Hong Kong would share my feeling - the Main Building is the best home for the Faculty.

I'm glad that I am one of the lucky ones who had the opportunity of having classes in this heritage building.

I'm blessed.

an unusual wrong purchase with moleskine

I have been a happy customer with Moleskine for a year or so now - I am using a number of their notebooks, diary and also pens. However I am pretty disappointed with the most recent purchase.

I was going to have a trip for the Easter break and I fancied getting my first proper luggage tag. I rushed to get this pink one from Dymocks the bookstore the night before the trip . It cost HK$118.

However after a trip with only two flights that my luggage was on someone else's hands, the tag is now like this. It's simply wrong to use the same materials of notebook cover for luggage tag.

lesson learnt: dont get a moleskine or get one with deep colour.

this is all my fault!

i have no clue why i didnt receive any notification on incoming comments - i just found that i had 27 comments awaiting approval! my apology to all those who were so kind and respond to my posts.

next step - check setting to ensure that i know there's comment coming in!

One Day.

Today's a difficult one - I felt very unwell with sore throat and headache this morning but I must go to work. Lucky enough, I managed to leave office early and consulted my doctor (and the waiting time was exceptionally short) - he said it's pharyngitis, which happens on me once or twice every year. Ok nothing surprising.

Afterwards, I dragged myself to class because it was a not-to-be-missed - a professor from Cambridge is visiting and how I miss British accent (and the British sense of humours).


On my way home, a friend called and I did an hour of counselling about her challenges at work. The problem is not a new one and I trust the only way out for her is to quit this job. Period. Though I felt painful talking with my sore throat, I'm glad that she finds me a trustworthy person to speak too. All the best to her.

And you know what, I feel blessed that I have nice colleagues. After all these years I have realised that we cannot take it for granted - I should be grateful for the fact that I am working with a great team. With respect, with faith.

102 - part II

I saw some old photos a couple of days ago, which were taken in my "102 era".

At a low ebb, I was terribly thin at that time. I didn't have good appetite and spend all the time on work and study. It didn't take long to lose some weight.

I am still living with a shadow over head, but I believe things will get better.
