This week favourite motto
Noone can meke you feel inferior without your consent - Eleanor Roosevelt


Things I learn this month:
From oprah magazine.
Dont be afraid of The "bitch" label. If everyone likes you, it probably means you aren't saying much.

From cosmopolitan magazine Australia.
'Word is that certain sexual positions can have a direct effect on whether you conceive a girl or a boy. Sperm that carries the Y chromosome (which results in a malebaby) travel faster than X-chromosome-carrying (female) sperm, but they have less staying power. One theory is that if you want a boy, rear vaginal entry, or 'doggie style', where the sperm is deposited close to the cervix, favours the faster male sperm , as it would be likely to reach the egg first. However, Dr Thomas Stuttaford, author of What's Up Doc? Understanding Your Common Symptoms, says, 'The evidence that this is successful is not good, but it's worth a try.'

This week I eat

I love pepper lunch to death. I used to live just opposite the road and I ate there almost every day. This is the rib eye steak, and it is so tender and for 20$ including rice and drink, it is cheap for a good quality steak.

Sweet of the week

Creme brulee is probably my favourite dessert. And I had this at Swissotel Wentworth Sydney. Room service, my friend from Melbourne ws staying there and it is super delicious with vanilla ice cream and almond biscotti.


Highlight of the week
It's my mom's birthday 2nd July this week.

Low of the week
I wish I can see her. We are in 2 different countries. I miss you and love you, mom. xoxo

Ps:
I was Watching 'Cruise Ship Diaries'(National Geography Adventure channel)
I've never been to a cruise ship and always wanted to go. This is about the giant Costa cruise and Watching this is amazing.


The ship is HUGE and gorgeous! It has theatre, full scale shopping centre, restaurants, a library with its 24 hr internet cafe, an art gallery (where you can bid for the original collections of well-known artists), casino, swimming pool & sauna, jogging tracks on the open deck, basketball & tennis & volleyball court, 5 star room suites, etc.


You can sign up to vairiety of classes (art n craft)(culinary classes),golf courses, pasta tasting classes, italian language classes (costa is an italian cruise).
There is Salsa&bachata& other dance classes on-board, also aerobics classes, yoga & pilates classes, the most modern technogym, aquagym, etc. Varieties of massages & therapies &(turkish bath!), beauticians, and hairdressers. They are said to have the bigggest health and beauty centre afloat. They even host a wedding onboard.


There are ballet shows, broadway themed shows, concerts by internationally known-singer, fancy-dress evenings, you can spend time in the piano bar or a live music bar, wine bar or whisky & cigar club...hmm hard choice.



I go to the website to take a look at the daily program, it is so interesting and totally endless, there are so many things (group morning walk, seminar on how to lose weight, many varieties of parties, etc)
For dining they have :
-breakfast delivered to your cabin/ self served buffet breakfast.

-bbq ing on the deck
-deluxe dining in specialty restaurants (there are quite a few restaurants)
-cozy pizza & gelato bistro
-midnight buffet (start at 12.30 am)

We also take a look at the dancers' dance rehearsal for the cruise ship shows,the emergency drills, lots and lots of children activities (art&craft, education & dressed-up disco evenings, treasure hunts, circus & clown shows, pirates party)(of course babysitters are available),


There are vow renewals for married couple and cocktail party for honeymooners hosted by the cruise captain.
