Lots of notes. Scattered on my bed.

I'm not sure if there is anyone who would be interested in my assignment, but I really enjoyed writing this piece. Posting here doesnt mean a good grade.(I mean it! Not being humble/hypocritical...) I just like my idea.:-) It would be great if someone voice out their opinion after reading this!

When There Are More Than One

        While most singles are looking for “the one”, there are some people enjoying the company of several spouses. A few days ago, I came across a news story about a South African, Milton Mbhele, who married four brides at the same wedding (Yahoo! news). When I told my friends this story, they immediately protested in distaste about the inequality from which women suffer. Polygamy has been condemned by feminists as they think it is a challenge to their belief. However, when I come to think about the issue critically (as I have been taught for all those years in school!), I find that polygamy may not be as wrong as what people suggest. Surely I am not a polygamist but I would like to investigate the issue from another angle, discussing the freedom of marriage and trying to defend polygamy, if you like to put it that way.

        Polygamy is a practise inherited from the past but is now forbidden in many countries, which adopt monogamy as their institution of marriage instead. People believe in monogamy because they think that loyalty to their partner is vital for their relationship. However, I wonder if it really is loyalty. Or is it just a fancy name of the selfishness, possessiveness and insecurity that make someone want to be “the one” of her partner? If it is the case, I guess monogamy can then be regarded as a tool to curb someone’s freedom to love others. Mhbele’s youngest wife, Smangele Cele said she didn’t care that she had to share her husband with other women because they truly loved each other. The generosity she showed, in my opinion, is no less important than love to make a relationship work. However, monogamists disapprove this kind of generosity so I wonder if monogamy is one of the major successes of feminism, then can it possibly be a regression of freedom in a relationship as well? If a man has the freedom to marry the one he loves, then why can’t he marry the ones whom he has the same feelings to protect and to commit, as long as he can keep the wedding vow valid? What a paradox!

        I tried very hard to talk my friends, who despised polygamy, into agreeing my point of view above. Finally they succumbed to admit the questionable freedom of marriage in monogamous societies. One of them actually raised an interesting point that polygamy can ease certain women’s domestic lives because some women cannot stand the sheer attentiveness, sexual or mental, of their husbands if they are the only wife in the house. Similarly, isn’t it great to have someone else to share the loathsome chores? We cannot simply eradicate the possibility of a woman being totally willing to share her husband. Clearly, polygamy is not only about the freedom of men but also the freedom of women! Therefore, it is better not to deny polygamy but be open-minded about it as we never want to deny any freedom of any party.

快死了, 連續2天只睡了共6小時。今早更走了mgt的課。

亢龍有悔, 兩份paper的好grade, 換來三份paper的爛grade,

結果現在好不容易才建立的自信開始漸漸崩潰... 果然是爛人一個。

Next Tue I hv to hand in an Opposite-Editorial assignment, so I wrote my first draft last Thur night and sent it to my tutor, to see if my points are really lame and there are any logical fallacies. Then she wrote back, with some positive comments which I think are actually useless since she didnt want to discourage me. She mentioned at the end of her comment that my writing style and the topic I hv chosen reminded her a lot an American Op-Ed coloumnist, Maureen Dowd who had her lastest book published.

The title of the book is "Are Men Necessary?"

One day, I will definitely read this book. Look at the cover, it's just hilarious!!!!

Mouthwatering Curry Experience in the CUHK

If you happen to be a curry lover, the Indian restaurant, New Delhi, which is located in Chung King Mansions in Tsim Sha Tsui must be your favourite place to go. However, have you ever imagined that you can also find such delicious curry in one of the student canteens on the campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong?

        Walking into the Coffee Shop in Li Wai Chun Building, I could smell the canteen was scented with the spices of Indian curry. My mouth suddenly watered. Immediately I joined the queue, waiting for my turn to order my Chicken Curry with rice ($30). The queue moved fast since the kitchen staff was very efficient. Customers can observe the environment in which their food is made while they are waiting. Hygiene of a restaurant always concerns me and Coffee Shop does a good job to keep its kitchen bright and clean. During my inspection, “Chicken Curry!” the staff called to me so I picked up my dish and paid at the cashier.

        My Chicken Curry with rice looked handsome with the orange-colored sauce and the side-dish – a few slices of cucumber and tomato. I couldn’t wait for my first bite of the chicken. The chicken went great with the curry in that its taste was not overwhelmed but brought out by the spices. Although the chef cooked with chicken breast of which the texture could be rough, it was all juicy and soft, slowly sliding down along my throat with the curry to my stomach. The fluffy white rice was also so well cooked that it was not sticky at all. Watching the faint steam rising from the warm rice, I couldn’t help myself feeling satisfied and blissful. After several spoonfuls of heavy-tasted curry and rice, I would like to have something fresh and light for a change. Then I realized that the side-dish vegetables were exactly what I was looking for. The cucumber slices were so fresh that they were almost crispy while the tomato slices were all luscious and in the colour of lovely red. Enjoying the meal and feeling contented, I had my two thumbs up for the chef for this delightful dish!

        After I had finished my Curry Chicken with rice, I looked around and discovered that the interior of the restaurant is rather plain. There are no fancy tablecloths, expensive furniture or spectacular views. However, when you see the satisfying expression on students’ faces, you will understand that the most important thing about a restaurant is its taste. Coffee Shop is able to offer that although the food price here is much higher than that of other canteens. It is worth having a try at Coffee Shop! And if you see Chicken Curry on the menu, don’t hesitate! Order one for yourself and you can share my most unforgettable mouthwatering curry experience!

A piece of critical writing handed in last week! :-)

My first food review.....

I'm sooooo tired.

Everyday I come back late becoz of different events and the tutoring job.

Every night I have to do my assignments, prep my lessons and finish the readings.

Last night I put everything aside and slept continuosly for 10 precious hours.

And now I have to pay for that, working on my assignment of creative writing.

NO SLEEP TONIGHT.

This week is toturous. Cant go back home directly after sch.

Tutoring on Mon, Wed, Thu, Fri evening and Sat whole day.

Briefing of a program I joined on Tue evening.
