It's finally a wrap! Such mixed feelings. Always. Especially for this project.

Filming《大大的梦想》is by far the hardest production of my life. Not because of the script or filming process, but because i started filming when Layla was just 4.5m old. In this 3months of filming, I went thru 3 rounds of growth spurt, transitting her to sleeping alone, teething, her learning how to sit and crawl, and starting solids. Well, that basically equates to NO SLEEP for Mama! On top of that, there's still scripts to memorize every night. I could have slept in and let my helper do the nightshifts. But i felt terrible that she'll have to do both the day and night! Also, that means Layla will not have me to take care of her at all! So, i chose to wake up when she wakes up at night.

The beginning was the hardest. Both Layla and i had to get use to a new rhythm and routine. She was crying so much bcos i wasn't there for her to latch. She was totally not familiar with drinking from bottles then. So in the day she didnt drink much, neither did she sleep much. It was a horrible time for me at work. I was zombie from lack of sleep, and worrying abt how people was handling her at home. My heart and my body was nv in the same place.

On days I'm not working, i will bring her out and prepare purees so when I'm not able to feed her, other people will have frozen cubes ready for her. In short, i never rested. 😭

Oh, dont get me started on pumping. I lugged a huge bag with pumping equipments everywhere i went. and pray that my cooler bag dont melt under the hot sun! I pumped in the car whenever we move from one location to another. Which means i had to drive everywhere instead of taking company transport(again, no rest). Sometimes, in desperation, i even had to resort to pumping in the toilet. Yikes, hate that the most! So unhygienic!

Fast forward 3 months later, what i need to deal with now is my dwindling milk supply, bcos i just couldn't pump as often when i was at work. I def dont have enough to meet her demand now. 😭 And even if i do, she doesnt wanna latch anymore after realizing the convenience of drinking from a bottle. So looks like it's gonna be (cont below)

#Editorial by AppleDailyHK | "When being asked whether the new electoral system aims to get rid of all pro-democracy camp candidates, she teased, “the way you asked questions sounds like the pro-democracy camp must be unpatriotic. I think this is unfair to them.” Who said pro-democracy camp equates to unpatriotic? Was she blaming the reporters again? So how come has the District Council, led by the pro-democracy camp, been kicked out of the patriotic system? In an era when people calling a deer a horse, the meaning of pro-democracy camp and patriots are all being defined by the CCP. Whether the pro-democracy camp is patriotic or not, or whether the patriots are pro-democracy, depends on what the CCP needs to say at the time. The new Hong Kong people and a new pro-democracy camp have already been created for the era to fit into the new democratic electoral system with CCP Hong Kong characteristics and the new governance thinking of the Lam administration."

"對輿論質疑新選舉制度是要趕絕民主派，林鄭就揶揄：「有時候我覺得你們這些問題是把民主派等同於『不愛國』，這對民主派非常不公道。」是誰把民主派等同於不愛國？又是記者？那麼，由民主派主導的現屆區議會，為甚麼被踢出愛國者治港的體制？在指鹿為馬的新時代，民主派與愛國者都由中共定義，龍門任搬，民主派愛不愛國、愛黨愛國者是不是民主派，還不都是由中共視乎需要說了算？新香港人、新民主派已經應時而生，不只切合中共香港特色的新民主選舉制度，也切合林鄭政府的管治新思維。"

Right from the start, Mercedes-Benz manager Ulrike Graze is responsible for "Factory 56" at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Sindelfingen, about 20 Kilometres away from the Daimler headquarter in Stuttgart, Germany. Additionally Mrs. Graze is in charge of the S-Class assembly in Sindelfingen. The area of "Factory 56" measures 220,000 m2. This equates to about 30 soccer fields. While the cornerstone ceremony for the new assembly hall took place on February 20, 2018, the start of production is scheduled at the beginning of the next decade. Upper and Luxury class cars with combustion engines, hybrid drives and purely electric-battery drives as well as self-driving cars will be produced there. This includes, among others, the new generation of the S-Class as well as the first electric vehicle from the EQ product and technology brand "made in Sindelfingen".

Time and tragedy equates to comedy. We think its an outlook that winners and rockstars subscribe to. Our collaborative project with Hard Rock Hotel Penang titled, Be the Rockstar Of Your Own Journey.

5 Allen Iverson Jump Shot Tips

These 5 Allen Iverson jump shot tips will have you hitting shots consistently. The former league-MVP has always been known for his sweet-shooting touch. Picking up these tips will have you draining your jump shots from any distance and angle like Allen Iverson in no time.

You will need:

Basketball
Basketball court

Learn to position your body. It all begins here. Learning how to properly position your body equates to getting good balance. Allen Iverson uses the stance wherein the shoulder of his shooting hand is slightly ahead of his non-shooting shoulder. His legs are a little more than shoulder wide apart to give him extra stability.

Get a grip. He places the ball almost in front of his chest with his shooting hand underneath and his non-shooting hand on the side of the ball for additional support. Iverson spreads his fingers for additional grip, with his fingertips firmly latched on the basketball.

Jump straight up. Allen Iverson frequently has to employ the use of his fade-away shot to avoid getting the ball blocked by pesky defenders. However, when perfectly clear, he hits his shots in textbook form. Iverson starts with perfect positioning and propels himself using his feet, knees and legs for elevation. His then cocks the ball slightly behind his head ready to shoot.

Shoot the ball and follow through. When he hits the peak of his jump, Iverson extends his shooting arm and flicks his wrist, allowing the ball to naturally roll off his fingertips. Even as the ball leaves his fingers, he continues to follow through.

Practice makes perfect. Even with his natural gifts and talents, Allen Iverson continues to hone and improve his skills through practice. Regularly shooting jump shots improves one's form and technique and will allow for greater consistency.
