Key dates in the history of Brassieres
1863 -- Jersey boy Luman L. Chapman patents a corset substitute called "the breast supporter."
1893 -- Marie Tucek patents a more modern bra with pouches for each breast, shoulder straps, and hook and eye fasteners.
1907 -- The term "brassiere" appears for the first time in an American copy of Vogue.
1914 -- New York socialite Mary Phelps Jacob patents a backless bra for evening gowns. She sells her patent to Warner Brothers Corset Co for $1,500.
1920s -- A Russian immigrant and seamstress named Ida Rosenthal, working for dressmaker Enid Bissett, alters a popular bandeau style bra and founds Maidenform. Rosenthal and her husband, William, create cup size categories. The Rosenthals open a Maidenform plant in New Jersey in 1925 and sell 500,000 bras in 1928.
1930s -- Warner Brothers Corset Co. creates the alphabet cup sizing method used today (A-D), as well as the all-elastic bra.
1943 -- Howard Hughes designs a aeronautically inspired steel underwire bra and turns Jane Russell into a huge star in "The Outlaw".
1946 -- Frederick Moliger invents the first push-up bra, called the Rising Sun. In 1947, Moliger opens a lingerie shop on Hollywood Boulevard -- Frederick's of Hollywood.
1968 -- This moment in bra history is significant for what did NOT happen. The fact that feminists burned their bras at a demonstration against the Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City is strictly urban legend.
1978 -- Playtex launches an ads for its "Support Can Be Beautiful" underwire bras.
1990 -- Madonna wears the pointy Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra in her Blonde Ambition Tour and creates one of the more lasting images in bra history.

1999 -- At the Women's World Cup in Pasadena, Calif., after scoring the fifth penalty kick to give the U.S. team the win over China in the finals, Brandi Chastain celebrates by peeling off her jersey and falling to her knees in a sports bra. The image makes the covers of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated.
2004 -- Janet Jackson suffers a "wardrobe malfunction" during a Super Bowl halftime performance, and accidentally reveals a nipple shield under her bustier instead of a lacy red bra. The world almost comes to an end.
2005 -- With 85 percent of American women wearing the wrong bra size, Oprah Winfrey begins a "Bra Revolution" to get women in the right undergarments. Nordstrom reports that bra sales at its stores increased 189 percent.

杏林子禱文
主，
我喜歡朋友，
因為，你知道孤單的路是多麼難走，
當我跌倒時，我需要有人扶我，
受傷時，有人慰我，
寂寞時，有人伴我，
快樂時，有人分享，
痛苦時，有人分擔，
得意時，不嫉妒我，
失意時，不離棄我。
當我驕傲時，有人提醒我，
錯誤時，有人指正我，
若是我得罪了他，
仍能寬容我。
我的主，
在我擁有別人的友誼之前，
先教導我如何成為別人的朋友，
不以衣冠取人，
不以財勢論人，
不以智騃斷人，
不以美醜閱人。
不炫己之長，
不揭人之短，
不誇己之功，
不忘人之恩。
教我言語柔和，
態度誠懇，
心情開朗，
精神愉快；
即使我不能為朋友做什麼
也讓我默默付出我關懷的心意，
無盡的祝福。
Thanks for the kindly reminder, Wab Wab!

Great scriptures from Carol & Alvin's wedding
Song of Solomon 2 : 1 - 3 Half
Beloved
1 I am a rose of Sharon,
a lily of the valleys.
Lover
2 Like a lily among thorns
is my darling among the maidens.
Beloved
3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest
is my lover among the young men.
Song of Solomon 8 : 6 - 7
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot wash it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of his house for love,
it would be utterly scorned.

【秋天 這秋天】 - 林徽音
這是秋天，秋天，
風還該是溫軟；
太陽仍笑著那微笑，
閃著金銀，誇耀
他實在無多了的
最奢侈的早晚！
這裡那裡，在這秋天，
斑彩錯置到各處
山野，和枝葉中間，
像醉了的蝴蝶，或是
珊瑚珠翠，華貴的失散，
繽紛降落到地面上。
這時候心得像歌曲，
由山泉的水光裡閃動，
浮出珠沫，濺開
山石的喉嗓唱。
這時候滿腔的熱情
全是你的，秋天懂得，
秋天懂得那狂放，——
秋天愛的是那不經意
不經意的凌亂！
但是秋天，這秋天，
他撐著夢一般的喜筵，
不為的是你的歡欣：
他撒開手，一掬瓔珞，
一把落花似的幻變，
還為的是那不定的
悲哀，歸根兒蒂結住
在這人生的中心！
一陣蕭蕭的風，起自
昨夜西窗的外沿，
搖著梧桐樹哭。——
起始你懷疑著：
荷葉還沒有殘敗；
小劃子停在水流中間；
夏夜的細語，夾著蟲鳴，
還信得過仍然偎著
耳朵旁溫甜；
但是梧桐葉帶來桂花香，
已打到燈盞的光前。
一切都兩樣了，他閃一閃說，
只要一夜的風，一夜的幻變。
冷霧迷住我的兩眼，
在這樣的深秋裡，
你又同誰爭？現實的背面
是不是現實，荒誕的，
果屬不可信的虛妄？
疑問抵不住簡單的殘酷，
再別要憫惜流血的哀惶，
趁一次裡，要認清
造物更是摧毀的工匠。
信仰只一細炷香，
那點子亮再經不起西風
沙沙的隔著梧桐樹吹！
如果你忘不掉，忘不掉
那同聽過的鳥啼；
同看過的花好，信仰
該在過往的中間安睡。……
秋天的驕傲是果實，
不是萌芽，——生命不容你
不獻出你積累的馨芳；
交出受過光熱的每一層顏色；
點點瀝盡你最難堪的酸愴。
這時候，
切不用哭泣；或是呼喚；
更用不著閉上眼祈禱；
（向著將來的將來空等盼）；
只要低低的，在靜裡，低下去
已睏倦的頭來承受，——承受
這葉落了的秋天
聽風扯緊了絃索自歌挽：
這夜，這夜，這慘的變換！

Still breathing
Recently, I felt like walking as a dead women. I was angry and depressed with unfair treatments and disappointments in Hong Kong.
Until today, my friends and I went hiking and played on the beautiful beach under the pure blue sky. My sorrow was relieve.
Life should be simple... it is the matter of yes or no, letting go or not!
Thank you very much for the new friendship : )

FIT, FINE AND PREGNANT
Anuradha Mascarenhas
Posted online: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 at 0000 hrs IST
For 28-year-old Rikke Agner keeping fit, fine and pregnant is really not very difficult. A university level handball player in Denmark, Rikke moved base when her husband joined an MNC in Pune. During her 38th week of pregnancy, Rikke’s body has undergone several changes, but not for a minute has she remained idle. “In fact I hope the delivery will be easier as I have tried to keep fit during my first pregnancy,” smiles Rikke as she exercises at the Symbiosis Centre of Health Care.
Supriya Bose— a fitness consultant with the Symbiosis Centre of Health Care (SCHC) and certified fitness professional from the American Fitness Association, has supervised Rikke’s fitness level during her pregnancy and is rather impressed with her dedication to exercise. “A pregnant woman’s body changes like never before. She is faced with innumerable and new sensations, feelings and emotions, all of them not exactly wonderful. Her reflection in the mirror at times leaves a lot to be desired! At the back of her mind, somewhere lurks the ominous question, ‘Will I ever be desirable again?’ “ says Bose
Bose insists that mothers need not worry. They can get back their firm taut figure “Your breasts don’t need to sag although you have breast-fed. Your once flat tummy doesn’t have to look like a recently unloaded sack of potatoes,” she says.
More importantly, you can and should exercise WHILE you are pregnant, Bose insists. This will tone your muscles, keep you flexible, help circulation, regulate bowels, reduce swelling in your hands and feet, deal with a stiff back and help make you feel cheerful on those not-so-cheerful days. Keeping fit while pregnant will also help you to have an easier delivery.
How do you achieve this? “Firstly, find the correct instructor or antenatal class. Your gynecologist can help here. You can start an exercise programme from your fourth month onwards, until the end, but always with the sanction of the attending doctor,” says Bose.
What is safe for me? Avoid all impact sports or exercises - no jumping, running, skipping and impact aerobics. Basically, anything that causes your body to be shaken up could lead to unpleasant outcomes. Your exercise routine should start with a slow and controlled warm up, no jerky movements. This can lead to a cardio phase, where you either walk or do simple floor moves that elevate your heart rate and give some variation. Utmost care should be taken not to overload your heart and lungs. In addition, your temperature should be kept as close to normal as possible - no over heating, over sweating. Sip water all through out.
Floor exercises should be comfortable and provide strengthening to all major muscle groups, especially your back, legs and arms. You should end your workout with good, long stretches and relaxation. Breathing correctly is vital to any workout but more so here, as your body weight is increased and you could tire easily.
Clothing should allow you to move freely and without restraint, absorbing sweat and cutting down on abrasion. A good, firm sports bra is advised so that your breasts are well supported.

No worry today, ok?
“Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.”
- Mary (Mrs. Ernest) Hemingway
Dear Candy:
Worrying can have harmful effects on our lives. There really is no solution when you worry, it only creates more problems for yourself in the long run. Consider these four techniques on analyzing the situation at hand in order to minimize worry.
- Get all the facts
- Weigh all the facts - then come to a decision
- Once a decision is reached, act!
- Analyze the problem:
1) What is the problem?
2) What are the causes of the problem?
3) What are the possible solutions?
4) What is the best solution?

Three silly girls
1) They jumped into the relationship within two weeks. He was a busybody who got no time to spend with his new girlfriend. She was wondering at home all day and waiting for his phone call. She started thinking he might have another women...
2) Their relationship was about a year, but was not stable. She started seeing another guy. He was very worried and tried the best to make her to love him. She got pregnant that forced them to get married. She felt guilty for what she had done to him...
3) A crazy journey brought her back to him at his home. He was a caring man who loved to cook and sing. She never thought to be love with him again, but she did. Could she work hard and wait for another 8 months until they meet again? Would he change?

Great Expectations (1998)
Finn: I did it! I did it! I am a wild success! I sold 'em all, all my paintings. You don't have to be embarrassed by me anymore, I'm rich! Isn't that what you wanted, aren't we happy now. Don't you understand, that everything I do, I do it for you. Anything, that might be special in me, is you.
Will I see you that day?

Will you love somebody no matter what?
牽手和推手 李安結婚照首次曝光
《色戒》上映在即，大導演李安又成了熱門話題。李安，1954年出生在台灣。父親是一所中學的校長，家教嚴格。1973年，李安考取了台灣國立藝專戲劇電影係。在國立藝專裏，李安對演戲和電影製作越來越有興趣，還曾獲得台灣話劇比賽大專組最佳男演員獎。
“李安還不是導演的時候，我就是我，李安當導演以後，我還是林惠嘉。”
1978年，在一次留學生的聚會上，李安遇見了性格開朗的台灣留學生林惠嘉。聚會後他主動約對方看球賽，對性格靦腆安靜的李安也頗有好感的林惠嘉很爽快地答應了。
認識兩年之後，李安前往紐約大學學習電影製作。每個禮拜他都要打很長時間電話給林惠嘉，這個習慣一直保持至今。他說，林惠嘉是自己最佳的傾聽者，她雖然沒有女性特有的嬌媚，但聲音有一股神奇的撫慰人的力量。心情不好時只要聽到她的聲音，所有煩惱立刻煙消雲散。
1983年，戀愛5年之後，李安和林惠嘉在紐約舉行了一場中西合璧的婚禮。電影《喜宴》裏的很多情景是他當時結婚實況的翻版。
婚後兩人分隔兩地，聚少離多。李安在紐約大學讀碩士，林惠嘉在伊利諾斯繼續攻讀生物學博士學位。可是兩人感情非常好，李安每次臨走前總是會做好一冰箱豐盛的食物留給妻子，口袋裏也總是隨身攜帶著妻子的照片。
七年“吃軟飯”
以優異成績畢業于紐約大學後，李安試圖開拓自己的電影事業。但一個沒有任何背景的華人想在美國電影界混談何容易。李安在美國開始了長達6年的等待，靠身為藥物研究員的妻子在外工作，養家糊口。每天在家他除了大量閱讀、大量看片、埋頭寫劇本以外，還包攬了所有的家務，負責買菜做飯帶孩子。每到傍晚做完晚飯後，他就和兒子一起興奮地等待“英勇的獵人媽媽帶著獵物回家”。
許多親戚朋友看不過去，對林惠嘉說：“為什麼李安不去打工？大部分中國留學生不都為了現實而放棄了自己的興趣？”李安過意不去，偷偷學電腦準備找工作。可沒多久這件事就被林惠嘉發現了，大罵：“學電腦的人那麼多，又不差你李安一個！”
七年之熬，林惠嘉也曾有過絕望哀痛的時候。打電話向媽媽訴苦，林媽媽勸他們離婚。放下電話，林惠嘉嚎啕大哭，不斷譴責自己：我怎麼變成這樣的女人。然後抹乾眼淚，繼續任勞任怨地養家糊口，相夫教子。
終於，她等到了丈夫破繭而出的那一天。
聽話的好丈夫
在妻子眼裏，聲名顯赫的大導演李安永遠是一個聽話的好丈夫。李安獲得第一個金熊獎時在柏林給太太打電話，她為從睡夢中被吵醒感覺很不爽，怪李安小題大作。拿了奧斯卡小金人後，李安和太太到華人區買菜，有位台灣來的女人對林惠嘉說：“你命真好，先生現在還有空陪你買菜！”不料當即被林惠嘉搶白：“你有沒有搞錯呀，是我今天特意抽空陪他來買菜的。”
為珍惜兩人共處的時間，現在林惠嘉盡可能自己開車去接丈夫。在車上，大導演會像個孩子般忙不迭地、絮絮叨叨地對老婆述說外面的一切。然後，聽老婆的讚美，也聽老婆的教誨。他說，以前窮困時，靠老婆養，現在當導演，在外頭耀武揚威，回家做收心操，像是煮煮菜，“求”老婆罵一罵。被老婆修理一下，也好收收心，算是平衡一下。2001年，《臥虎藏龍》沒有得到台灣金馬獎最佳導演獎時，有記者問李安的感想，李安就曾幽默地說：“很想快點回家被老婆罵一罵！”

《色戒》上映在即，大導演李安又成了熱門話題。李安，1954年出生在台灣。父親是一所中學的校長，家教嚴格。1973年，李安考取了台灣國立藝專戲劇電影係。在國立藝專裏，李安對演戲和電影製作越來越有興趣，還曾獲得台灣話劇比賽大專組最佳男演員獎。
“李安還不是導演的時候，我就是我，李安當導演以後，我還是林惠嘉。”
1978年，在一次留學生的聚會上，李安遇見了性格開朗的台灣留學生林惠嘉。聚會後他主動約對方看球賽，對性格靦腆安靜的李安也頗有好感的林惠嘉很爽快地答應了。
認識兩年之後，李安前往紐約大學學習電影製作。每個禮拜他都要打很長時間電話給林惠嘉，這個習慣一直保持至今。他說，林惠嘉是自己最佳的傾聽者，她雖然沒有女性特有的嬌媚，但聲音有一股神奇的撫慰人的力量。心情不好時只要聽到她的聲音，所有煩惱立刻煙消雲散。
1983年，戀愛5年之後，李安和林惠嘉在紐約舉行了一場中西合璧的婚禮。電影《喜宴》裏的很多情景是他當時結婚實況的翻版。
婚後兩人分隔兩地，聚少離多。李安在紐約大學讀碩士，林惠嘉在伊利諾斯繼續攻讀生物學博士學位。可是兩人感情非常好，李安每次臨走前總是會做好一冰箱豐盛的食物留給妻子，口袋裏也總是隨身攜帶著妻子的照片。
七年“吃軟飯”

流年 - 王菲
愛上一個天使的缺點
Fall in love with an angle's demerit
用一種魔鬼的語言
Use a kind of devil's language
上帝在雲端 只眨了一眨眼
Above the clouds, God just blinks his eyes
最後眉一皺 頭一偏
At the last , He knitted his brows and turn away his head
愛上一個認真的消遣
Fall in love with a serious hobby
用一朵花開的時間
Use one flower blooming moment
你在我旁邊 只打了個照面
You are by my side, and just face each other at first time
五月的晴天 閃了電
in the sunny day of May, lighting struck
有生之年 狹路相逢 終不能倖免
Within rest of life time, There will be unavoidable confrontations in narrow paths
手心忽然長出糾纏的曲線
Suddenly palms have grown twisty lines
懂事之前 情動以後 長不過一天
Before understood. after fell in love, there won't be last than one day
留不住 算不出 流年
Won't last , can't estimated the lucky year
(那一年 讓一生改變)
(that year , will changed whole life)
遇見一場煙花的表演 用一場輪迴的時間
Meet a fireworks show , spend one reincarnation's time
紫微星流過 來不及說再見
The North star flown by , not even have chance say good bye
已經遠離我 一光年
but it has been far away from me with one light year

Meet Joe Black
I am not talking about the movie, but a person whom I met in 1998. After reading the newspaper about the 6 carats pink diamond ring from Lust, Caution- the movie earlier, I would like to check it out from Cartier Store in The mall.
The name of the mall is Elements, a brand new one, has many luxury brands including Gucci, Chanel and other famous... I was amazed with the interior design and the artistic decorations. It's Hugh!
Before approaching Cartier store, a gentleman with a ear headset and a leather folder near was hanging around by the escalator. His eyes were shape and bright. The eyelashes were little bit longer than normal Chinese.
"Hi!" His voice was very soft and I could recall his tone.
"Are you Joe?"
"Yes. I am." Is him... Joe. A guy whom I took the same study trip in Eastbourne nine years ago.
"Sorry, I look really crappy today as a student." I was not sick and did not put on any make up.
. . .
Joe is working for the Mall as an ambassador and still keeps in touch with Ruby now.
Because of the ring, I met Joe again...
I hope, because of my endeavours, I will see the person I love again.
Thank you, Ring!

Aussies bounce Brits' figuring on breasts
Solveig Faul | September 21, 2007
BOLD new claims from Britain hailing the tracking of a figure-eight movement in breasts as revolutionary, have been disputed by Australian brassiere engineers who say they have known of the pattern for years.
Researchers from the University of Wollongong say they first put women on treadmills to track their breasts' movement 10 years ago and have since worked on ways to reduce the bounce.
Last week, British scientist Joanna Scurr said research based on her study, which also looked at the figure-eight movement of breasts, aimed to integrate the "new" knowledge into bras.
But Julie Steele from the Applied Biomechanics Lab at the University of Wollongong, who has worked with the Australian Institute of Sport and bra manufacturer Berlei, said the British claims were sensationalised and showed ignorance.
Berlei has helped research both horizontal and vertical breast movement for years and its bra designs were aimed at handling the resulting bounce.
She said there was little information available in the public domain on breast movement due to commercial reasons, which may have led to the false claims.
Professor Steele said Dr Scurr had yet to publish her results.
The future of bra science lies in the development of intelligent fabrics. Present technology has produced fabric that moves moisture away from the body and can use ultrasonic sound waves to add support without bulky stitching and seams.
According to Professor Steele, new intelligent fabrics will tense up when a woman starts running in an everyday situation, for example for the bus, and reduce the breasts' bounce.
Education is another major issue in the world of bra science. Berlei found in its studies 66per cent of women were wearing the wrong bra. Julie Malandin, director of the Berlei Group, said incorrect fitting could lead to neck and back pain. In extreme cases, women could experience broken collarbones, numb hands, chafing and bleeding.
Fitting specialist Helen Aubrey, who has been helping women find the right bra since 1968, said: "The wrong bra is theproblem."
In her extensive experience working for David Jones, Myer, Sara Lee and Berlei, the fitter has found that women often do not realise their bodies change as they get older, have children and change their diets.
Her advice to women: "Try before you buy."

All About Tea
You might have noticed that there was a new link- www.allabouttea.co.uk added into my list on the left after the study trip. It was because Mr. Andrew Gadsden, the Teaologist in Southsea has made some great tea for me during my stay in South of England.
Also, he showed his tea collections, shared how he started the website, his tea research and passion for this godly treat. He took me to tea shopping in the local market. It was a fascinating experience!
After the trip, I began to search for good Chinese tea and learn more about tea at the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware and the K.S. Lo Gallery in Hong Kong. I started drinking more tea than coffee.
... I believe that we deserve a tea time everyday with friends and family. No matter how short it is, we should take a break to appreciate life with a cup of healthy tea.

但願人長久- 王菲
水調歌頭 - 蘇軾
明月幾時有 把酒問青天
不知天上宮闕 今夕是何年
我欲乘風歸去 唯恐瓊樓玉宇
高處不勝寒 起舞弄清影 何似在人間
轉朱閣低綺戶照無眠
不應有恨何事長向別時圓
人有悲歡離合 月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全 但願人長久
千里共嬋娟
To my friends all over the world,
Let's enjoy the moon!
Cheers,
Candy
Where are you, Gregg?
This was an American Chinese guy I met in the Hilton Chambers, Manchester at August 19, 2007.
We talked a little and hung out for a bit.
After all, we knew we won't each other again... let me wrote down how he looked like before forgetting.
He was born 1986, 170 lbs, 5 ft 8", originally from Shanghai. He moved to US when he was little. He was with two American classmates.
That's all I could remember...
People pass by quickly, treasure the time when we are with them.
