Inspiration from Sex and the City

We are into the last season of Sex and the City and both hubby and I have decided that the character we like best is Samantha Jones, played by Kim Cattrall. I think her personality in the series is fabulous and she will really be good to have as a friend. The part I like best was when she had gone to Miranda's and gave up her long-waited salon appointment to Miranda who needed a salon visit much more than herself. And she even offered to babysit Miranda's baby! What a generous gesture! Also, Samantha was never judgemental of her friends and was always forgiving to the negative aspects of the human nature. And I especially like Samantha because she was never afraid to show off her sexuality both in her language and in her physical ways. It was very interesting and entertaining to watch her go man-hunting.

On the other hand, we both dislike the Carrie character. We think that she was such a brat. She was insecure, difficult, selfish and totally irresponsible as an adult. I hate the part where she would call her friends to complain and wail about her relationships with her boyfriends but never really showed much interests in her friends' problems. She was lucky to have 3 such good girl friends plus a good gay friend. I have to admit, I am envious of her for having this kind of friendships...

For those of you like me who also didn't know, Kim Cattrall is already in her 50s and the rest of the 3 ladies are also in their 40s! Damn! They still look so good! Especially Kim Cattrall! Is it really the effects of Botox that she had claimed to swear by in the movie really true? I am inspired!

Bye~ London! Bye~ Friends!

Everything has to come to an end eventually...and when good times come to an end, it always makes me feel a little sentimental. I had enjoyed my trip very much, especially meeting with friends whom I don't get to meet often...

This day I arranged to meet J and her family at her house in Epping for lunch. We checked out at noon and made our way there on the tube. It was the last station so by the time we arrived, it was around 1:30pm, just nice for lunch. J cooked us some Singaporean dishes which I enjoyed very much after eating European food for the past 10 days. She was so thoughtful. It was my first time visiting her at her house and I was glad to find the jig-saw puzzle picture of old Singapore displayed on the wall of her living room. J also told me that the dishes she was using to serve me lunch were presents from me! I didn't remember that?

After lunch, we had a leisure time chatting over coffee while her husband P cleaned up and her 3 beautiful daughters played on their own. They are also stuck on the DS Lite games. *Smile* I From the dining area where we were sitting around, we could see the garden with a little playground for the children. It was not a very big garden, but would be enough for having a nice BBQ gathering with a few friends and family. This is the kind of quality living that we in Hong Kong and Singapore don't get unless we are very rich. *Sigh*

We said our goodbyes after a short walk in the Epping Forest which was only a 10 minutes drive away from J's house. That was our last chance at getting our lungs filed with good quality air before coming back to polluted Hong Kong...Bye~London! Bye~Friends! Wish we will meet again soon~
