It can be hard to get back into the swing of things after a weekend.

We call it the "Monday Blues."

Most of us get used to sleeping in and just relaxing at home.

This makes it hard to go back to our early work schedule.

Our daily routine feels more tiring.

The "Monday Bluesโ make us inefficient and lazy.

That's why it's important to enjoy your weekends to the max.

Another even worse situation is when we come back from a long extended holiday.

The "Monday Blues" are stronger because our break was that much longer.
1. Whatโs your favorite Chinese dish and why?
2. Have you ever tried making Chinese food at home?
3. Do you dip your sweet and sour pork (tangsuyuk) in the sauce, or do you pour the sauce over and mix it? Is there a reason for your preference?
