It's been more than a month since I last blogged. That is because I've been busy watching the Chinese period drama Lu4 Ding3 Ji4 (translated as "Royal Tramp" or "Duke of Mount Deer" depending on which TV production it is) on DVD after Ian sleeps at night. A working mum has only that many hours to spare, so the blogging has to go for a while. I still have five more eps (out of 50) to go!
Besides an engaging, funny storyline (it's adapted from the novel of master author Jin Yong after all), the series has actually refreshed my Mandarin and spurred an interest to read more Chinese books. I find that I do miss the language.
The only reason I have time to write this entry is I'm alone at home. Ian's with my in-laws at his cousins' home happily playing. Alv is in church, if not we'll be watching Lu Ding Ji together.
Within these three hours I have to myself before my son comes home (am missing him already), I am planning to
1. check my email
2. upload new photos on my facebook account
3. book my driving lessons online
4. explain on my blog where I've been this 1+ month
5. handwash my dress
6. pack some things for my upcoming HK trip (I take a long time to decide what to bring!)
7. have a bath
8. read the newspapers
9. decide what clothes to wear with my three pairs of new shoes that I bought from Gripz yesterday - white animal print wedges, silverish-grey snakeskin and leather heels, and two-toned red heels
Items 6-9 are not done yet, so got to go!
