A bright sunny Monday with cooler weather (15 C to 22 plus) forecast for the week. Expect this is the last cold spell we're gonna have till the next winter. The prospect of constant sunshine again is lovely, but the thought of Hong Kong's perpetual 100 % humidity in the worst days of summer---argh.
New week, new resolutions. I am hoping to accomplish much this week, and putting it on the record so that if nothing else, the shame of non-accomplishment will keep me on track!
1. Work out at least TWICE a week. A HK$299 monthly gym fee isn't big bucks, but it ain't peanuts either so I might as well use it.
2. Bake my first sponge cake. I've baked many coffee cakes and cookies and poundcakes, but have always felt intimidated by sponge cakes and angel cakes. But I remember my Mom making tons of chiffon cakes when we were young. She had this tall tube pan and we were always excited the minute we saw her pouring batter into it.
3. Drink less. I'm up to two glasses of red daily now just to unwind. Bad girl. Bad.
4. Draft two promised articles -- one for a Singaporean publication, the other to a Hong Kong editor.
5. Finish the first 5 CDs of Pimsleur II.
6. Watch my new DVDs/VCDs: Serenity, Proof, Paris je t'aime, Elektra, and finally get to the Tori Amos concert DVD that someone lent me.
