Cinderella ~ My Fairy Tale ~

I have moved

2009-02-06T18:20:00.002+11:00

Hello,

as I have stated in yesterday's blog that I was planning to move my blog.
Here's the link to it... Cinderella ~ My Fairy Tale ~
I will begin to update that new blog instead of this one. Unless, I'm stuck in using that new blog. Hahaha!!

I got it, I got it!!

After more than a month wait, I finally received my 2nd PhD offer. Waited until my hair's turning white, wrinkles are getting deeper. Hmm, apparently I'm not under School of Biomedical Science anymore!

Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes someone special to catch your heart.

Sorry Katty baby, I stole this from you. Hahaha...

PS. I'm planning to move my blog soon. Will keep the readers update later.

Stuck in KL

2009-02-04T12:10:00.005+11:00

Went to HL's place last night to 拜年
On the way to his place, we started crapping, laughing, laming, which led us to miss turnings and such. Gosh! We were jammed at Jalan Tun Razak for like 1 hour before we managed to get going smoothly to his place. Oops, forgot to mention, we were in Time Square singing our heads off from 2.30pm to 6.30pm. =p

His father is forever so funny!!! Hahaha!!
He came out with a lot of jokes to entertain us and kept on feeding us with food even we had already eaten our dinner. I think Yu Wooi had a very good suggestion.

i.e. When we feel sad, depress, lost, just call Uncle Tay to entertain us. XD!!

I was hinting HL to buy more Ipoh Hiong Peng before he went down to Ipoh on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year and yes he did (his parents to be exact)!! His mother told us that he bought SO MANY bags of Hiong Peng from Ipoh and is planning to bring MANY bags out of the SO MANY bags back to Australia. LoL!! (I'm going to steal some, thank you)

So the jokes went on and on until around 10.30pm. Well, most of the jokes were in Cantonese. Although I understand Cantonese, I can't really get all of the jokes but at least I got most of them.

KF was already very tired when we left HL's place so Yu Wooi and I were trying to keep him awake by talking to him throughout the journey and because KF was quite sleepy (and I don't know the way) we went the wrong way twice. Thankfully, I managed to get home safely in one piece eventually.

Lastly, I should include some photos taken the day before at Japanese buffet.

Q&A (Re-editted)

2009-02-02T11:02:00.003+11:00

Before yesterday, I was still confused...

After yesterday, I think I have an answer.

As for now, I am confused again...

The "Weirdo" Uncle

2009-01-30T00:28:00.003+11:00

My cousin's friend was here again yesterday for more karaoke. Well, I'm gonna refer him as "Uncle" from now on. Long story short. When he realised that he was about 7 years older than me, he self-claimed that he is "Uncle". *Roll eyes* Come on, he's my cousin's age!! Anyway this Weirdo Uncle is super funny!! He's equally lame as HL plus he is a bit chubby which made him looked like FANSHU!! He even self-praised himself as "Good-looking Uncle".

Anyway, back to karaoke. When he came, I did not join them for karaoke. In the end, he asked my brother to get me up to sing with him. However, somehow I don't feel like singing at all, so I didn't go up until late at night. When I got up, he was very excited and asked if I wanted to sing duets again. Karaoke manic I guess. LoL!! In the end, I only sang one song with him. He was still singing with my brother and cousins when I went down to sleep! They ended the activity at about 2am again last night. I'm sure the maid who stays next door must be very annoyed! =p

AND he is here again today. Now playing mahjong with my brother and cousins. Nope, no karaoke.................. yet. The maid must be praying for him not to visit us again.

Oh!!! Apparently, he's a TEACHER!!! MATHS TEACHER!!

OMG!

PS. He said I looked like Junior High student or the most High School student. Hahaha!! I feel young now.

Karaoke Night

2009-01-28T16:53:00.005+11:00

Last night, cousin Lawrence's girlfriend and friends came to our place for karaoke and mahjong. So, my brother, cousin Brian, cousin Lawrence, cousin Amy and I accompanied the guests all night. I bet yesterday was the most entertaining and lively day of the year. Other than his friends, my dad's friends came over to visit as well.

OMG! I must praise one of my cousin's friend for being such a good singer. He knows how to sing nearly EVERY SINGLE SONG that we selected. It sort of started with me singing 辛曉琪's 童話 and he sang along with me. Then he sang a couple more songs with my cousin which showed how good his singing skills was. Then we asked if he knew how to sing those duets and yes he did!! So we selected some famous duets such as 屋頂, 珊瑚海, etc etc. We even sang "My Heart will go on" together!! CRAP!! He was sooooooo awesome!! He also sang duets with my cousin such as 窗外, 千年之戀, etc etc. He can get those super high pitch notes!! *Faint*

We sang until 2am and still it wasn't enough for him. Apparently, he wanted to visit us again today for 2nd round. *Faint* I'm so not going to sing today. Maybe I should get his autograph when I could before he gets too famous one day. Hahaha!!

Happy Chinese New Year (Re-edited)

Happy Chinese New Year to my sister far away in San Francisco and to my other relatives in Malaysia who did not come back for Chinese New Year!!

Happy Chinese New Year to every of my friends (who celebrate Chinese New Year obviously).

Names removed since it's unfair for those names that I have left out.

有一點動心

2009-01-25T18:59:00.003+11:00

最近猛聽國語新情歌,老情歌... 哈哈!

曲：曹俊鴻詞：厲曼婷主唱：張信哲 / 劉嘉玲

我和你男和女都逃不過愛情
誰願意有勇氣不顧一切付出真心

你說的不只你還包括我自己
該不該再繼續該不該有回應讓愛一步一步靠近

我對你有一點動心卻如此害怕看妳的眼睛
有那麼一點點動心一點點遲疑
不敢相信我的情不自禁

我對你有一點動心不知結果是悲傷還是喜
有那麼一點點動心一點點遲疑
害怕愛過以後還要失去

難以抗拒 OH... ... ...
人最怕就是動了情
雖然不想不看也不聽卻陷入愛裏

我和你男和女都逃不過愛情
也許應該放心讓愛一步步靠近

好想你

2009-01-24T22:44:00.003+11:00

今天唱Karaoke的時候
聽他們唱蔡旻佑的我可以

突然好想你喔...

0.006 的差距

2009-01-24T16:42:00.004+11:00

超偶2的總冠軍結果上個禮拜終於出來了...

令我失望的是幾乎從來沒有失誤的符瓊音因為重感冒在第二場比賽有失水準
但是我覺得她真的很不簡單耶!
生病還可以唱的這麼好!!
我也是艾成支持者,他也真的太專業了!閃到腰還可以這麼努力的完成表演!!
他們兩人真的非常出色!
最後僅僅差0.006分而已
艾成以87.395分贏過87.389的符瓊音!!
符瓊音一定很懊惱吧! 我也為她覺得可惜...
*Sigh*

老實說吧... 超偶1和2的五強我都蠻喜歡的,除了Baby Face以外...
這樣講有點對不起他們的歌迷,可是我真的覺得他們不是很穩...
例如第二場的Take me home country road 和 Umbrella, 我覺得唱得很差... 可是評審卻覺得唱得不錯!?! 我反倒覺得鍾天慧唱得Umbrella比他們好太多了...
第三場的自言自語他們又唱得很好...
有沒有人跟我有同感?

還有還有...Baby Face除了Bizzare Triangle 那首英文歌咬字還可以外,其他的英文歌好像都不行... 可是評審都沒抓... 他們有抓過別的參賽者卻沒有抓他們,讓我覺得挺驚訝的...

不是對他們有偏見
我也是有看到他們一路努力走過來...
算了不講了
我已經有被Baby Face歌迷K的準備
哈哈!!

再次恭喜你們囉~
第一名艾成
第二名符瓊音
第三名林吟蔚
第四名謝俊奇
第五名 Baby Face

PS. 林吟蔚也很讚喔!!
PPS. 謝俊奇真是越看越可愛!!呵呵!

I have been eating and sleeping everyday lately. Piggy life.
Of course, my weighing scale has been withstanding my drastically increasing weight.
I don't know how much longer it can tolerate. If I go on like that, it will go past the weight limit very soon, and eventually die on me!!
I must control my diet now...

我不是你想像的那麼勇敢

有時候太堅強笑容卻填不滿眼眶
越是想要隱藏歌聲就唱的更響亮
直到入到心底最深處 OH~
你不要追問我還缺了些什麼

每個人都有夢幸福總站在最遠方
心中越是渴望越是不敢伸手擁抱
誰的心是我最後一站 OH~
我強問我自己現在還沒有個答案

我不是你想像那麼勇敢
多想讓你保護能流淚一場
讓我放下武裝像個孩子一樣
單純的把愛情放在你心上

每個人都有夢幸福總站在最遠方
心中越是渴望越是不敢伸手擁抱
誰的心是我最後一站 OH~
我強問我自己現在還沒有個答案

我不是你想像那麼勇敢
多想讓你保護能流淚一場
讓我放下武裝像個孩子一樣
單純的把愛情放在你心上

OH~
我不是你想像總是扮演堅強
多想讓你知道我也要個伴
放下討厭武裝像個孩子一樣
單純的把愛情放在你心上

我不是你想像的那麼勇敢

梁靜茹 ~ 沒有如果

2009-01-15T12:46:00.001+11:00

如果我說愛我沒有如果
錯過就過你是不是會難過
若如果拿來當借口
那愛是不是有一點弱

如果我說愛我沒有如果
真的愛我就放手一搏
還想什麼還怕什麼
快牽起我的手

有人說
世界上最遙遠的距離不是生與死
而是我就站在你面前
你卻不知道我愛你

我常說
如果人類連愛一個人都被自己綁住
那世界末日已來到
不需要等到地球毀滅掉的那天

如果我說愛我沒有如果
錯過就過你是不是會難過
若如果拿來當借口
那愛是不是有一點弱

如果我說愛沒有如果
真的愛我就放手一搏
還想什麼還怕什麼
快牽起我的手

受了傷的...眼睛

2009-01-12T11:15:00.003+11:00

眼睛這幾天都濛濛的
看東西很難focus
遠的就沒什麼大礙,近的嘛... 就有點模糊
醫生說是眼球破皮
哇!眼球原來也是會破皮的!
沒辦法啊!就只能定時點藥水
怕弄傷眼睛,所以不能洗頭,不能用洗面乳洗臉
只能用毛巾小心的擦拭
希望早日康復啊!!

今天晚上要下高雄...
...的機場
因為妹妹要回舊金山了
而爸爸也回來了
真不希望她走
一年才見一次面而已

*sigh*

Cheat

2009-01-09T00:40:00.009+11:00

Gosh! This morning mom received a phone call from the so-called phone company, saying that we have not paid our phone bill. My mom was very surprised because we have been paying the phone bill regularly so she followed the instructions and pressed "9" into operator. A stupid female operator answered the call and somehow my mom has been talking to her for like 10 minutes. In the end my mom hang up the phone with anger because she felt that it's the well-known 電話詐騙. A while later my auntie came over to my house and told us that she received that phone call before. She even talked to that operator for ages before she realised that she was being cheated. It's like after you follow their intructions by pressing "9", they will start charging you for the phone call.

My mom was very worried because she gave the fake phone company her name, her mobile number, etc. She immediately called the genuine phone company and told the operator what had happened. Thank goodness those information that she gave to the fake phone company wasn't very complete and mom was smart enough to hang up the phone before the stupid operator asked further questions.

Speaking of those phone calls, my relatives have received many of those before. For example, one of my auntie has received a phone call from her "son" saying that he was involved in some accident and was in the hospital. She was so worried that she grabbed her handbag and just when she was about to rush to the hospital, she realised that it was pretty weird. What was her son doing outside school during school hours? She calmed down and called the school. The form teacher said he was still in school, totally fine. Only then she know that she was being cheated.

Another story was my cousin who received a phone call that was asking for my mom. As you know, we have been staying in Malaysia for the past almost 20 years, who will actually call my mom back in Taiwan? He was like going on and on about some bills that my mom has not paid. My cousin straight away knew that it was just another prank call, so he just pretend to listen to what the other party was saying. He said it was bloody funny, especially the other party was talking in a very serious manner.

*Sigh* Now we got to be even more alert! There are just too many con man everywhere!!

PS. Don't be jealous. I went to the hot spring today! It was totally awesome!!

Guilt

2009-01-05T10:44:00.002+11:00

I got involved in a car accident yesterday afternoon while I was driving to my maternal grandmother's house. I was driving at the speed of 70kmph and sort of slowed down to perhaps 40 or 30kmph when I was at a so-called T-junction. It's not a proper T-junction as the traffic light was only blinking yellow light - a warning light for me to slow down and take note of in coming cars.

There was one van turing left at the far left lane so I drove to the far right lane, heading straight. Suddenly an old man riding a motorbike rushed in WITHOUT looking!! Well, he rushed into the left lane first. Instead of sliding in slowly, he immediately horizontally ride onto my lane. Take note: Horizontally. I couldn't react fast enough and collided into him. I actually did step on the brake but the tragedy was unavoidable.

I was so scared. Mom rushed down to take a look at the old man. Thank goodness, as I was driving at low speed, that old man only had a minor cut on his right foot. The left handle of his motorbike was a bit broken. Mom said luckily I was driving at low speed and the old man only had a minor cut or else I will be in big trouble.

A witness came over to help too. We were quite thankful as the witness saw what actually happened. It was the old man's fault for rushing out without looking and I was going straight! In fact, it was more like he collided into our car instead of we collided into his bike. Though it wasn't entirely my fault, I felt very guilty. *sigh*

I have no courage to drive anymore.

Greetings from Taiwan

2009-01-04T10:15:00.002+11:00

Hello my friends! I'm back in Taiwan!!

Well, the weather is fine. Warm winter so far.

Odd sleeping time and waking up time as usual (for the locals) .

It has been a week since I waved goodbye to Australia but still adjusting from jet lag I supposed. Perhaps its my watch! I did not adjust my watch 3 hours behind not because I'm lazy but because I don't want to (no specific reason). I have been a very healthy girl since I left Australia. Getting to bed early and waking up early, cutting down laptop usage, eating lots and lots of "healthy products" such as drinking the "fruit vinegar", going for SPA, etc. Oh, my auntie has a mini SPA facility in her house!

BUT I have also been eating those not-so-healthy snacks. You know, Malaysia and Taiwan have those awesome hawker stalls and snacks but they are not very very healthy. Quote a sentence from HL, "Nice food are never healthy" (I think I had this in HockLuckapaedia).

I'm heading to my maternal grandmother's house later in the afternoon. Looking forward to see my cousins there.

Hmm, that's all for the update so far. I'm going out for a walk and get my 2 sweethearts their point card.

PS. Shopping List anyone? Hahaha!! Don't be too greedy! Can't carry too much okay?

Shabu Shabu

2009-01-02T10:04:00.003+11:00

Last night, I met up with Yu Wooi and her friend for dinner at Bandar Puteri. It was a Japanese Buffet Style Shabu Shabu, RM26.50 per person. I brought my brother and my cousin along since my dad didn't want my brother to go out with his 豬朋狗友. As for my cousin, I shouldn't leave him alone at home. So, I brought him out too. There are many ingredients to choose from. Small fish ball, big fish ball, crystal ball (which we call it as "da bien"), fish cake, prawn ball, crab stick, prawn, seafood bean curd, cabbage, ABC soup ingredients, scallop, wanton, dumpling, taro, etc etc. Too many to list. Not that I can eat everything since I had seafood allergy but there were MANY other non-seafood (excluding fish) choices. Drinks are included, self-service - Guava Juice, Orange Juice, Green tea, etc. It was REALLY good! We ate until fully bloated. It's more like contented. Unlike bloated till san fu in Silver Dolphin.

Hmm... I'm flying back to Taiwan this afternoon. Won't be seeing any of you guys until February. Happy Advanced Chinese New Year to all my friends!!

蔡淳佳 ~ 陪我看日出

2009-01-02T00:46:00.003+11:00

Currently drawn to this song...

雨的氣息是回家的小路
路上有我追著你的腳步
腳下邊保存著昨天的溫度
你抱著我就像溫暖的大樹

雨下了走好路　這句話我記住
風再大吹不走囑咐
雨過了就有路　像那年看日出
你牽著我穿過了霧
叫我看希望就在黑夜的盡處

哭過的眼看歲月更清楚
想一個人閃著淚光是一種幸福
又回到我離開家的小步
你送著我滿天燕子都在飛舞

雨下了走好路　這句話我記住
風再大吹不走囑咐
雨過了就有路　像那年看日出
你牽著我穿過了霧
叫我看希望就在黑夜的盡處

雨下了走好路　這句話我記住
風再大吹不走囑咐
雨過了就有路　像那年看日出
你牽著我穿過了霧
叫我看希望就在黑夜的盡處

雖然一個人　我並不孤獨
在心中你陪我看每一個日出

5am in the morning

2009-01-01T10:00:00.003+11:00

Once again, I woke up at 5am in the morning. By right, it's 8am in Australia. Can't believe that I'm still not adjusted from jet lag! It never happened before the past few times that I got back. Well, at least just for a day or so.

Ironically, when I woke up, my brother was just about to go to bed. He went out with his friends for countdown, after that they went to Asia Cafe for supper. Well, he just passed his driving test 2 days ago and now he is driving without a licence!! Another reckless driver.

Thinking of what I should do so early in the morning, I sat down in front of my laptop to realise that I have tonnes of msn messages. Mostly New Year wishes. Was planning to go out for lunch with Yu Wooi and Kim Fei. Not sure what's the plan now since Yu Wooi dropped me a message telling me that the restaurant was fully booked. *faint*

I watched Cape No. 7 on my cousin laptop. I was really anticipated since I heard that it was REALLY GOOD and the trailer looked really funny. To my disappointment, I think it was just okay. Guess it was overrated afterall. Can't really compare to The Dark Knight anyway. They are 2 different movies.

Took a shower after that and did some laundry. It's only 7.10am now and here I am.

Oh, before I forget, I went to Pyramid yesterday and got myself 2 pairs of Adidas shoes. It took me perhaps an hour or so to choose them mainly because they do not have my size!! Gosh!! It's so funny that Pyramid has 2 Adidas outlet in about few hundreds steps away. When the first stall did not have my size, I went to the next store to shop. It costed about RM400+ in total but there was 30% off one pair so it summed up to RM300+. Of course, dad did the paying. Oops! I'm still parasiting in my dad.

In dad's theory, 新年就是要穿新衣... and it's gonna last for at least a year (for me it is). As for my lucky brother, he just got a pair of Adidas shoes from me for his birthday all the way from Australia. It costed AUD150 per pair without discount. After discount it was AUD75 per pair (actually it was AUD150 for 2 pairs). Not to mention the exchange rate from AUD to RM was 1 to 3.4 when I bought it. Now dad is getting him a new pair. LUCKY COW!

Enough of "showing off" with my shopping.

I should check on my laundry now.

Bye~

PS. SOMEONE is happily counting down in Sydney hor?

Jet Lag

2008-12-31T07:39:00.002+11:00

My Sony Ericsson W900i sort of died on me a few weeks before I got back to Malaysia. When I told my dad about my case, he said it must be the battery. So we went to shop for a new battery in Pyramid. Of course I gotta get a new charger too as I have been occupying HL's Sony Ericsson charger for almost the whole year!! We went to the Sony Ericsson outlet and the salesman took out a seemed-like-pirated battery out from a pack of 5 and said that cost RM199. My dad was quite furious. RM199 for such lousy quality. Trust me, it totally looked like pirated battery.

The salesman explained, "Oh, because there are 2 types of battery. Round end and square end. Our shop sells square end battery. It's better."

Bla Bla Bla... Whatever!

When we asked for the charger, he said it was RM90. Is he nuts? Or does he think we are stupid? I called HL straight away. He suggested me to look into other shops.

A while later, my brother called me and told me that his friend's shop sells RM90 for the battery and RM40 for the charger. HL also sms me, telling me that it's only AUD30 in total for both. Wow! Imagine how much money the Sony Ericsson outlet is earning!

In the end, we bought the battery and charger from my brother's friend.

I totally don't understand what makes them so expensive? Warranty? NO! The man is only giving me 6 months warranty but my brother's friend gave me 1 year warranty for the battery and 6 months warranty for the charger.

Cut everything short, I went back home and charged the battery. Tried it this morning to found out that actually nothing is really wrong with my old battery. Let me rephrase. Not completely my battery's problem. Inactive sim still shows up. Quite proud of my old battery which lasted for 3 years. In fact, it has not completely died on me yet. Still can be used.

It's 5am now and I'm awake for an hour already. Still adjusting from jet lag.

It's 5.20 am... and I'm awake

2008-12-30T08:24:00.002+11:00

Yesterday morning was quite a rush. I woke up early at 6.30am to finish up my leftover unpacked luggage and got ready to head down to Sydney. It's the day that I'm waving goodbye to Australia and running into the warm hug of Malaysia. Because of me, the other 2 sweeties in my house woke up pretty early too. They have promised to accompany down to the International terminal. Since I still have something to buy down in Sydney Central, I decided to take the 8.30am train down from Newcastle and probably have some brunch.

I really have to thank the 2 sweeties. They are nobody but my 2 lovely friends - HL and KH. Because of me, HL had to reschedule his experiment time points. Because of me, KH had to take a day off from the lab. Because of me, they have to spend say over 50 bucks for the public transport. Because of me, they have to wake up early when they could sleep in. Because of me, they have to rush up and down with me, giving me a hand with my luggages whenever I need one. Where else can I find such friends?

Although they make me mad sometimes, they could be such sweethearts at times! We gave Fritz a call for brunch since we knew he mostly will be free and yes he was!! He even sent me off at the International Terminal. Do you know that the train ticket from Central to the International Terminal was AUD14.40 one way and AUD20 two ways during off peak hour?? OMG!! That's bloody expensive!! I felt so touched with 3 friends spending a "fortune" to send me off. Let alone that they have no stable income yet! *cries*

During brunch I sort of left the restaurant with anger to get the stuff that I wanted to buy before I go home. I hate it when people start to babble some stupid things for something that is not worth complaining. You know I'm talking about you! I left the restaurant with anger and went to the nearest coles in George Street. I sort of got lost but managed to find my way in the end. When I reached the supermarket, I got even more angry! They do not have the things that I wanted!! I got so angry not because they do not have the things that I wanted but because when I asked nicely the night before if anyone could accompany me to Coles to get something, one says "You can get it from Coles in Sydney tomorrow, " and when I asked again on the day itself, all sort of excuses came out. I'm not going to name the person and I know you know that I'm talking about YOU! *roll eyes* That's why I intentionally ignore your calls!

We left Central at 1.08pm and headed to the International Terminal. We were early when we reached the airport as I could see it from the queue which was fairly - empty. Boarding time was 2.40pm and it was only 1.40pm when I have checked in everything and got my boarding pass. So, we took a seat at the foodcourt and gossip. I promised HL that I will be treating them Krispy Kreme but as I have spent too much money in Sydney, I only had enough money to buy one and a half dozen. One dozen for me to bring back home, and another half a dozen for the 3 sweeties who sent me off. Though HL said "no need, no need" but I know he wanted it deep inside his heart. Hahahaha!!

I waved goodbye to them and went through the custom at around 2.45pm. Made a phone call to Jesselyn, wanted to say goodbye to her before I leave, but she is just too busy to be reached. So Jesselyn, if you are reading my post, don't be angry if you think I did not inform you that I'm flying back. I called you three times and left you a texted message.

8 hours later, I reach KLIA. I called my dad excitedly to tell him I have just landed. Not to forget, calling the 2 sweethearts back in Australia that I have reached safely. Er... and cried to HL about my cow that I left in his room. *sob* Long story, you don't want to know.

When I reached, I was sort of bloated with a "sandwich" they MAS provided. But dad insisted getting me some food - anything that I wanted. But there was too many stuff in my mind so I just verbal vomit out chee cheong fun, teh ais, satay, roti canai, etc etc.

Let Old Man know that I have reached Malaysia. He is flying to HK early morning today. Also informed UV and KF that I was back! Missed them so much too.

I'm home but I felt empty. Mom's in Taiwan, Dad did not come home after he dropped me off. All I have is my dear brother and my cousin tonight. I'm leaving for Taiwan in 3 days. Can't wait. Oh, I MUST meet up with Ben and Shaun before I leave the country!! Guys, give me a buzz before Friday!! It's 5.20am (6.05am now, took me 45 mins to type this post) in Malaysia and I couldn't sleep already. I'm already missing the two sweethearts back in Australia. Hurry up and come back!!

牽手是會把女生的心給牽走的

2008-12-28T12:11:00.004+11:00

你們有聽過這個故事嗎?

牽手是會把女生的心給牽走的

故事開始

第一次很順從的給男生牽手，只因為覺得給他牽著很舒服很溫暖，後來卻發現…

牽手是會把女生的心給牽走的，因為後來就變成了他的女友，雖然現在已經沒有跟他再牽手的緣分，但那時的感覺卻烙著。

第一次和現在這個男友有不愉快，和好之後；他對我說…

你對我這麼好，我以後更要記得常常牽妳的手。

那時還覺得很奇怪，他怎麼會突然這麼說，因為他牽不牽我的手那時覺得也沒有什麼差別，只會計較著他記不記得說對不起。後來感情較深了，當他忘記牽我的手的時候，才發現那是不一樣的，手空空的、沒有暖暖的實在感，心也變著空空的；記得牽我的手，代表著時時想到我，那是連心都牽在一起的感覺，特別是有時因為提著東西，沒有空出手給他牽時，他記得主動幫我提，讓我空出手可以讓他牽，那種被呵護的心情，是幸福的悸動…

第一次認識男友的姪子小寶，出去玩的途中，經過士林夜市，聽說那裡有一間水煎包很好吃，男友停了車讓我帶小寶去買，過馬路人多時，我牽著小寶的手過(才國小四年級的孩子，連過馬路都是用跳的)，回到車裡，男友酸溜溜得跟小寶說：小寶，你第一次看到鄧阿姨就牽到她的手，你要知道舅舅我之前為了要牽鄧阿姨的手花了多大功夫，舅舅好羨慕你唷！那時聽到他對小寶這樣說，心裡有一種自己是很被珍惜的感覺，雖然嘴裡念著：你跟小朋友說這什麼話阿～但是心頭一股甜味，害我硬是藏不住喜滋滋的笑意。

原來『掌心』『掌心』，手掌的中間真的有一顆心呢！

牽著牽著手～心也就被牽著牽著走了…

台語把妻子稱作牽手，是很傳神的，人都希望能在生命的過程中，與步伐一致的伴侶攜手打拚。有了牽手就不會孤單，有了牽手就有了力量。

然而，大多的時候，我們成了人家的牽手反而不牽手了。一般來說，新婚夫妻在婚姻頭兩年，仍會浪漫地手牽手漫步公園逛街出遊，然而時間一久，生活多了柴米油鹽，少了浪漫也就不牽手了。能夠到老仍藉由牽手這樣的肢體語言來表達愛意與關心的，著實令人感動。

其實，牽手象徵著彼此對對方的信賴及歸屬感，小小一個牽手的動作，

往往勝過千言萬語。『愛他，就要讓大家知道』。

好友曾說過一個小故事：

一天她與老公逛街，遇到老公大學時代的舊情人，一時聊了起來，她不免心中有些不是滋味，也許是察覺了老婆的心意，老公順勢牽起了老婆的手，舊情人看在眼裡，隨即意識到自己的身分，於是寒暄幾句，隨即告辭。

牽手是愛的證言，彷彿告訴全世界『我已心有所屬』。牽手的動作，再自然簡單不過，你可曾遺忘？

PS. 聽懂了沒? 男人! 所以不要亂亂千女孩子的手!

Merry X'mas!

Merry Christmas to everybody!!!

Oh ya, Happy Birthday to Lin Kooi!

*********

Felt quite annoyed now. My room is infested with bed bugs. Actually, after the bed bugs incident in KH's room, I never dare to sleep with my lights off, hoping that they wouldn't attack under the lights. But I was wrong. I was still being attacked. I got bitten on the left hand, left wrist, left arm, right arm, even my waist!! BUT I JUST COULDN'T FIND THEM!!

I got so sick of that, so I decided to throw everything into the washing machine and soak them in hot water. While taking off my bolster cover, I realised 2 bloody ugly and disgusting bed bugs hiding within the foldings. YUCK! I got KH to flip my mattress around but to find nothing. Eventually, he even flipped the bed frame. Voila~ Found one under the bed. Apparently, they are all very "thin", which means they are not the culprits for the bumps on my body. There must be some other bugs around and I just couldn't find them. This is scaring me and gosh it's Christmas!!! Is this my present Santa? *Sob Sob* I've been a good girl!!

I'm so gonna do a self pest control tomorrow morning.

DIE BED BUGS, DIE!

Laziness Strikes Again

2008-12-21T13:40:00.002+11:00

I know I have promised many things.
Promised to blog about this, promised to blog about that...
but after such long wait, I have not come out with the stuff that I promised to post.

I'm so sorry...

Since my internet is limited to 12Gb per month, sharing amongst 5~6 people... Posting photos will be such a nuisance.

Forgive me.

I confessed that I have not even uploaded the photos into my laptop yet!!

And I have to say

I am a total sucker for guys who could play the piano or string instruments such as violin and cello.

好囉! 很久沒 Update 因為很懶
還是讓親朋好友知道近況吧!

今天跟馨慧和凱凱在線上廢了一早想想自己也好久沒看到他們囉!
真懷念小時候那無憂無慮的日子

早上起床,刷牙,洗臉,去上學,放學,回家,做功課,看電視,與鄰居朋友嬉戲...
又有假期可放寒暑假,拜六禮拜
天塌下來有爸媽頂
不會挨冷受凍,餓肚子

可是還不懂得知足

一直想要快快長大的唸頭,等到真的長大了,才會覺得還是小時後來的快樂

最近在煩很多事博士班獎學金啦,適合自己的Project啦,好的教授之類等等
好煩喔!!
不過我很感謝 ZE 和 KH 的幫忙
真的是出門靠朋友啊! 真慶幸身邊還有他們

很多畢了業的朋友也忙著找工作
而且還處處撞牆,碰了一鼻子的灰
我想,4年後,當我畢了業,一定會比他們更慘吧!

******

最近一直待在家沒事做,說不定可以去兼兼差之類的
可是我再一個多禮拜就要回家了,有人會請一個做不到一個禮拜的工人嗎?

******

這幾天也在家做家裡那兩個男人的管家婆難聽一點就是沒工錢可拿的傭人
洗衣煮飯
只差沒掃地而已
自己的房間當然自己打掃嘛...

開始覺得自己一定是個好媽媽!! 哈哈!!
把那兩個男人當自己的小孩照顧還挺有成就感的勒!
慶幸的是,他們不會又哭又鬧...
呵呵!! 那當然啦! 20多歲了還敢給我哭哭鬧鬧!
我還不把他們給斃了

好啦... 就醬! 掰!

Taylor Swift - Love Story

We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Romeo, save me
They try to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said

Romeo, save me
I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

星座失控的100天

2008-12-11T11:05:00.003+11:00

Plagarised from another person's blog... Pretty accurate I suppose...

白羊座（3.21-4.20）Aries

憂鬱指數:★★★
復原指數:★★★★★
憂鬱情形:躁鬱型

無法接受失控狀況出現的時候，自己的情緒也會失控，最明顯的徵兆就是亂發脾氣，亂罵一通，而且很容易為了芝麻蒜皮的小事生氣。

為什麼憂鬱:牡羊座最在意的就是工作上的表現，若是工作上有失控的狀況發生，足以讓牡羊崩潰，難過到極點，包括工作夥伴的不合作，業績沒有達到標準，沒有賺錢等等。

百憂解:要記住很多事情並不是都能如想像中的順利進行，讓自己的想法更開放，而且生命中不該只有工作，也要多關心家人和朋友喔！

金牛座（4.21-5.20）Taurus

憂鬱指數:★★★★★
復原指數:★★
憂鬱情形:壓抑型

如果以100天的情緒變化來看，金牛座就是前面99天都很開心快樂，但是第100天卻會完全崩潰的人。通常這時身體也會有許多小狀況出現，如頭痛、胃痛、失眠等等。

為什麼憂鬱:做任何事情都會留後路的金牛，若遇到大改變，可就真的完蛋了，加上鑽牛角尖的個性，若是身邊的朋友不敏感一點，最後可能會走上自殺、跳樓一途。

百憂解:巨蟹座是金牛座的好朋友，因為她的同情心及洞悉人性的特點，完全了解金牛的矜持，而總在一旁安靜陪伴也可以解除心防，讓金牛把煩惱通通說出來。

雙子座（5.21-6.20）Gemini

憂鬱指數:★★
復原指數:★★★★
憂鬱情形:煩躁型

愛交朋友愛玩的雙子，要是生活變得平淡無趣，就會開始憂鬱了。瘋狂血拼、抽煙、喝酒，甚至會有暴食的現象。情感上的不安全感，讓她很容易腳踏多條船，總是有備胎情人stand by。

為什麼憂鬱:無法忍受生活像白開水一般的無味，要是生活上一下子變得空白，如失業、搬家，從前身邊總是熱熱鬧鬧的雙子，一下子安靜下來，「無聊」可真的就是雙子憂鬱的原因了。

百憂解:每天把手機、電話或其他對外連絡的管道，暫時關閉30分鐘到1小時，練習獨處，或是到戶外走走，多接近大自然。

巨蟹座（6.21-7.20）Cancer

憂鬱指數:★★★★
復原指數:★★★
憂鬱情形:自責型

憂鬱的巨蟹座，在憂鬱時可能會過度賴床，可以一整天都在床上還會明顯地消瘦，對什麼事情都失去動力，不管是工作、人際關係還是愛情。

為什麼憂鬱:雙魚座會為了而愛憂鬱，然而巨蟹座除了愛情之外，家庭也是會讓她陷入憂鬱的重要原因之一。要是對方有點不太理人，她也會像雙魚一樣開始自責，開始不安，陷入憂鬱裡。

百憂解:建議巨蟹座的妳，偶爾也可以做些平常不敢做的事情，例如，出其不意地換個髮型，來點平時不敢的打扮等等。都能讓妳的心情煥然一新。

獅子座（7.21-8.22）Leo

憂鬱指數:★★★
復原指數:★★★★★
憂鬱情形:躁鬱型

愛面子的獅子座，讓妳絕對聽不到她說：「我今天心情不好」等等的灰色話，即使妳發現她有點怪怪的，獅子也會擺出最燦爛的笑容，告訴妳她沒事。完全把憂鬱的情緒放在心裡，不特別觀察是不會發現的。

為什麼憂鬱:最容易讓獅子憂鬱的就是感情方面的挫敗，像皇后般的她，為了面子打死也不會承認她被甩了！

百憂解:請獅子座明白放鬆的藝術，慢慢來，很多事情真的不是妳1個人就可以掌控的，並且養成傾聽的習慣，偶爾放下身段也不錯。

處女座（8.23-9.22）Virgo

憂鬱指數:★★★★★
復原指數:★★
憂鬱情形:壓抑型

堅持完美的處女座，也是超級ㄍㄧㄥ的，所以悶在心裡的結果，變成容易莫名奇妙的發脾氣，個性變得比從前毛躁，有時候連自己也不會發現情緒上的轉變。

為什麼憂鬱:什麼事情都有條有理的處女座，一旦事情發展不如預期，或是沒有想像中的完美時，憂鬱便會席捲而來。

百憂解:請處女座的妳接受不完美的存在，這是非常正常的，而且，天底下也並不是任何事情都是有解決方法，況且有些事是需要時間來解決的，例如感情問題就是最好的例子。

天秤座（9.23-10.22）Libra

憂鬱指數:★★
復原指數:★★★★
憂鬱情形:不安型

當天秤因為生活無聊而感到憂鬱時，會極度的煩躁，但是天秤處理不安的情緒方法相當多采多姿。她會到處玩樂、夜夜笙歌，甚至瘋狂血拼，但是太high的結果，很有可能回家後，就開始想哭，情緒起伏會相當大。

為什麼憂鬱:愛玩愛動的天秤，憂鬱指數只有2顆星，可見能讓她們憂鬱的狀況其實不多，真的就只有寂寞一項。

百憂解:建議妳可以多看點書，一邊學習孤獨的價值，一邊收新知識，另外，多和獅子座的人交朋友，她們的明快可以讓妳心情更輕鬆。

天蠍座（10.23-11.21）Scorprio

憂鬱指數:★★★★
復原指數:★★★
憂鬱情形:自責型

水象的天蠍憂鬱時，會迷失自我，反應在行為上，就變成整天賴在床上不想起來，甚至會不想見人，不想打扮。

為什麼憂鬱:因為水象星座的特質，天蠍也是容易因為感情而憂鬱的星座之一。不同的是，不服輸的天蠍，為了爭一口氣，往往捍衛的已經不是有危機的感情，而是自己的成就，往往到最後會失去更多。

百憂解:投資別人不如投資自己，把自己照顧好，也才有能力愛別人，並且天蠍要常常自我催眠，不斷的告訴自己我是最好的。尤其是在談戀愛的時候，也要保持自己的興趣，不要迷失了自己喔！

射手座（11.22-12.21）Sagittarius

憂鬱指數:★★★
復原指數:★★★★★
憂鬱情形:躁鬱型

射手座很有可能只會讓別人得憂鬱症！因為當她憂鬱時，更是會亂發脾氣，心裡有不爽快，絕對會對外大鳴大放的。

為什麼憂鬱:會讓射手憂鬱到不行的最大原因其實是自己，由於自己太過於主觀，所以常常和他人有意見不和的狀況發生，而且押事後還會否認呢！就是這種情形，常常讓射手在和別人相處上發生問題，但是又不會覺得是自己的毛病。

百憂解:和別人討論前，請先平穩自己的情緒，若是有爭執，也請先深呼吸一口氣，放鬆一下，必要時放下身段，柔順一點，妳會發現事情會有不一樣的發展。

摩羯座（12.22-1.19）Capricorn

憂鬱指數:★★★★★
復原指數:★★
憂鬱情形:壓抑型

看起來情緒EQ很高的摩羯座，其實最易被情緒擊垮的。憂鬱的摩羯其實看不出來心理正受著煎熬，要是莫名其妙發脾氣、身體不舒服的狀況出現時，身邊的朋友就要多關心點囉！

為什麼憂鬱:重視物質層面安全感的摩羯座，需要藉著工作肯定自己，同時對權力及慾望有很強烈需求的妳，若是遭到降職，或是從辦公室裡的權力鬥爭拜下陣來的時候，很有可能會完全崩潰。

百憂解:別再硬撐了，多和家人朋友互動，聊聊天，別把自己關在小圈圈裡，再不然，寫日記、上網逛逛都是不錯的解憂法。

水瓶座（1.20-2.18）Aquarius

憂鬱指數:★★
復原指數:★★★★
憂鬱情形:煩躁型

一旦寂寞，就開始不安，手機沒響就會開始不斷狂call親朋好友，或是就泡在pub裡。

為什麼憂鬱:內心寂寞與空虛是引起水瓶憂鬱的頭號因子，若是生活中出現空白或間斷，比如說轉換工作間的日子，或是到了新環境都還沒認識半個人的時候，水瓶座便很容易有憂鬱的狀況發生。

百憂解:獅子座的果決明快正好可以和水瓶座的妳相輔相成，不僅超級有效率的作風讓妳大為欣賞，而且總是往積極光明面想的獅子，能在當情緒陷入低潮時給妳最好的幫助。

雙魚座（2.19-3.20）Pisces

憂鬱指數:★★★★
復原指數:★★★
憂鬱情形:自責型

迷失自我是最典型的狀態，讓自己不斷的陷入不安與自責中。失去信心，自尊受到打擊，會有情緒化的情形發生，無法理性思考，甚至會莫名哭泣。

為什麼憂鬱:雙魚座最在乎的就是得到他人的肯定，尤其是愛情。若是沒辦法得到肯定，雙魚座肯定會自責到極點，覺得一定是自己做錯事，情緒甚至會影響到工作。

百憂解:學習自我肯定，愛別人之前多愛自己一點。即使在戀愛中，也不要一股腦地就栽進去，把戀愛的時間拉長，並且一定要維持自己原有的興趣，免得一時迷失自我。

Exhausted

2008-12-09T23:57:00.002+11:00

Just completely moved into my new place last night. Completely exhausted. I guess it will take me another 2 days to get everything unpacked. We have been travelling from city to Kotara, Kotara to Jesmond and Jesmond back to city, just to get a desired wardrobe. Walking up and down, in and out, until I'm completely worn off. Last night, while the guys were being hardworking carpenters, building their own wardrobe, I dozed off and fell into a deep sleep in no time until the next morning. Without the wardrobe, I could not unpack much stuff. So basically, I have been wasting the whole day doing nothing but unpacking one of my luggages out of millions of them.

It's 12.07am now. I'm going to bed. Goodnight.

I felt that I'm ageing exponentially recently. Dry skin, crows feet, backache, DOMS, deteriorate eyesight and hearing, swell up lower body, enlarged tummy, etc...

And I came out with this theory.

As a girl grows older, she becomes worthless. As a guy grows older, he becomes priceless.

I'm getting worthless in no time...

Why can't I be a guy??

*Sigh*

Second post of the day...

Feeling depressed.

Phil said he has no project for me to do for phD!!!

*Sigh*

He thought of looking into miRNA after Spn infection but apparently Paul thinks that Hi alone is not enough for HL to do for his phD so...

(Mumble to myself softly) HL indirectly stole my project... =(

But he said he would talk to Peter tomorrow. Hopefully, he could come out with a good project.

*Fingers-crossed*

Roar!! Part 2

2008-12-04T11:54:00.004+11:00

*Smirk*

I sent an email explaining my situation to her (since I'm such a nice and forgiving person) and guess what? Woah! She replied as if she was the 100% right person. I understand that to some extent, it was my bad. But she sounded like as if it was entirely my fault now.

First of all, she told me she will be starting at 10.30am BUT she did not start until almost noon! Of course I wouldn't have to move since she was not using the lab but I thought to migrate to another place only when she needed it!!

Secondly, she was only air drying like what 10 slides on the benchtop where it can accomodate like 100 over to 200 slides. There was just a pathetically small corner left on the same benchtop enough for me to do some pipetting. If she was fully utilising the whole area, I would have moved! Since she's not using, why I can't use it? And now she was complaining that, " I actually had several other things I needed to do there, but I couldn't as you didn't move." Waliew!! Like that also can meh?? It was because she wasn't using the space that's why I used it!!

"ELISAs are suppose to be done in the ELISA bay."

Duh! Everyone knows that okay? If not, why call it an ELISA bay? I just had all my reagents made up and kept in the microlab. I don't see there's a point moving ALL reagents from one place to another. What's wrong with our "mini ELISA bay" in the microlab? I just want to make sure there are no possible causes of contamination, am I SO WRONG now? I'm just very particular in ELISAs because it basically takes up the whole day and once you screw something up, *poof* thousand dollars along with your samples GONE.

"Doing the wrong thing your entire honours is not an excuse to do things wrong now."

Sigh... If people keep the ELISA bay neat and tidy, fill up pipette tips after they have used them, DO YOU THINK I WOULD MOVE? Gosh! After I clean it, it will be messy again in no time so why should I do my work in such a disorganise working area?

Plus, SHE STOLE THE 50ul MULTI-CHANNEL PIPETTE AWAY FROM THE ELISA BAY & LEFT IT IN THE MICROLAB LAST NIGHT. What? Trying to accuse me for not putting it back when other people are looking for it? "Oh, she was doing ELISA in the microlab and she did not put it back to where it was." Such a black-hearted old woman!

Okay... enough of ranting. I feel better now.

Roar!!

2008-12-03T17:06:00.003+11:00

Argh! Gosh!! Could you just shut up, bitch?
Who on earth do you think you are?
Yes, I did agree on moving to another place to do my work so that you can do yours but that doesn't mean that you have the right to question my usual way of doing! I could have turned you down when you asked so-called "nicely".

It's just so freaking funny when people say "Can you (action) because I have to (action)?" Can I say no?? This is actually a "more polite" way to force people to do something that they might not really want to! Of course I would have to say "Yes" even I don't want to! Since I have said "Yes", I would keep my words. BUT, when I was doing my job, you weren't going to need any of the things I was using!! Obviously, I would prefer doing my chores on my usual way.

You have a big endpoint. So what? Big endpoint "Dai Sai" ah? Big endpoint doesn't make you the greatest okay? I was already very nice to you, giving you most of the work space. What's more do you want? Most importantly, I was not really in your way anyway! I would have used another work space if you are using my usual work space. But, were you? NO!! A BIG FAT NO!

"I have 70 slides and I need that space!"

*Roll eyes*

Whatever! You don't even have 10 slides on that benchtop at that time and I was just using a small corner which won't even "step" onto your boundary! You asked me why I wanted to do my work there so much. I didn't answer you right on the spot because I think you are god damn dumb to understand how I felt and what I was thinking. Bimbo! Oops, I don't even think I can call you a bimbo! Bimbo is used to describe an attractive, yet unintelligent woman. Too bad, you aren't attractive enough to be a bimbo.

Reasons

I have always use THIS space for ELISA
I make up all my reagents HERE
I am more comfortable with using the equipment and reagents in HERE
I need THIS incubator
My antibodies are in THIS fridge
I fill in my own tips HERE
Everything I needed is in THIS room
Who will be so dumb to transfer everything to another lab when you can do all your work in the SAME room? (I bet you are the one)

PS. You can see how angry I am from my word usage
PPS. You said I wasted reagent by pouring it over the plates instead of filling it into a squeezeable bottle first. I have to say you waste gloves by constantly changing gloves in the same lab! I know we should change gloves frequently when dealing with infectious material but I think you are way too over! Oh yea, you would have wasted reagent if you are not skilled in pouring. NOOB!

Bowling

2008-12-02T10:16:00.002+11:00

Last Saturday, Adeline & Eric invited us to Mayfield for bowling. Not those Grandma, Grandpa kind of lawn bowling. It was the tenpin bowling. When they first asked, the first thing that came into my mind was the lawn bowling since it is a very common sport in Newcastle for the elderly. But then, it was in fact the indoor bowling that we had back at home. So I was quite excited and straight away agreed. I remembered my first proper indoor bowling was at midvalley with Annette, Jessie, Ben, Anusha, etc. I got into the side drains during my first 3 rounds and a STRIKE on the 4th. It was great fun actually.

Once again, I got into the side drains during my first round of the first game. Hahaha!! So embarrassing!! The kids playing next to our lane was so much better than us. They scored pretty high. We played a total of 4 games and we came up with a title for each player...

Adeline - Strike/Spare/Longkang Queen
Eric - Strike King
HL - Spare King
Me - Longkang Queen

From the title you can obviously determine that I'm the loser of all 4 games! Hahaha!!

PS. I can feel that I'm ageing... Got DOMS the day after...

Cut Queue!!

2008-12-01T10:16:00.005+11:00

Cut Queue! Cut Queue!

Before I blog about those "exciting" posts that I have planned, I want to share something very exciting for me but not necessary exciting for the readers. After almost a year of hard work, I finally obtained a satisfied honours result and I think I deserve it.

Yes, that's my long for Honours Class 1!!

*Happiness*

*Skipping and jumping around up and down*

Happiness shared doubles!

PS. Cheers for Arsenal!! OMG OMG! I cannot believe that they actually beat Chelsea!!

Final Seminar & Pub Night (14th Nov 2008)

2008-11-26T10:22:00.002+11:00

I could have started blogging about my final seminar and the pub night celebration long ago, since there are no anticipating photos anyway. I was just lazy okay? Come on! Give me a break from work, internet, computer, journals, etc!

I've never felt so relaxed before right after my seminar. I told myself, "I'm gonna get drunk tonight!!" For those who know me should know that I am not a drinker nor a clubber/pubber. Even if I were at the pub, I always order lemonade. But that night, I decided to reach out for something more. *Hahaha*

We celebrated with members of Hansbro and Foster lab at The Grand near DMB. Supervisors left early but before they left, Nicole told Emma and Sophie, "Make sure you get these two kids drunk tonight." *pointing to me and HL*

In fact, I was already feeling tipsy when I left Apollo International. That was because I sorta gulped in 2 glasses of champagne within an hour. It might sound nothing to regular drinkers but it's a record for me. Usually it could take me up to one whole night just to finish a glass of alcohol. When I reached The Grand, Eric bought me a glass of "Fruit Tingle", which is a cocktail, containing blue curacao liqueur, vodka, lemonade, etc. I sort of liked it! Sweet and fruity cocktail. Emma then bought me another drink which is called the "Puppet Smurf" (I guess this is the name) but the bartender gave me another Fruit Tingle. A Fruit Tingle without lemonade but substituted with pineapple juice. Well, according to them, that wasn't a Puppet Smurf. The bartender had no idea what she was doing.

Anyway, I finished that "pirated" Puppet Smurf in the end and was forced to drink another 3 or 4 glasses of champagne. Surprisingly, I was perfectly fine. Wow! I do have high tolerance for alcohol. After that, we "crawled" to another pub and continued drinking there. I was being forced to drink another glass of wine, but I totally disliked it. I remembered drinking that once and I felt so uncomfortable right after I reach home. I dislike the taste, dislike how it made my stomach heaty, so in the end I refused to drink it.

They then planned to move on to the Brewery. Due to some private reasons, HL and I did not go. Instead, we walked to McD in Market Town, where Eric and Adeline were, for supper. Coincidently, we ran into Lin Kooi, KH and Eric Chan or should I say, they ran into us. This supper went on and on and on until 5 in the morning.

By the time we reached home, it's almost sun rise!!! I was still very conscious and energetic.

So...

"I'm gonna get drunk tonight!!"

Failed

I'm back!!!

2008-11-25T10:21:00.002+11:00

After almost 2 weeks of slacking and relaxing at home internetless, I'm back!! I have so many things to blog about but I have not uploaded any photos that I've taken.

I should list some exciting events that you can anticipate from my posts.

1) Final Seminar + Pub Night
2) Adeline's Birthday Dinner
3) Sydney one-day trip
4) Jesselyn's visit to Newcastle

I got in...

2008-11-12T16:58:00.004+11:00

AND

I got in...

But I don't feel excited at all.
Probably it's like what Yu Wooi said, "Because you are looking forward to PhD!"
Suddenly thought of - WHY DID I APPLY FOR THIS AT THE FIRST PLACE?

Praying hard for the scholarship outcome for PhD!

2:1

2008-11-10T10:22:00.003+11:00

Wahahaha!! Arsenal beat Man U!!
I was sort of expecting 0:3 (nil for Arsenal, 3 for Man U)...
Well, Arsenal played quite badly this season plus 3 main players were injured so...
HL even expected a 0:5!!
Apparently, they played pretty well in this game... or maybe I should say Man U didn't play that well... Most probably Arsenal was pressured playing against Man U, so they really put in effort in playing this game. At least they play as a team this time!

Catching up, catching up!!

Yay!!

Stalkers!

2008-11-05T10:51:00.003+11:00

Wow... I just realised that there are so many people stalking my blog!!
Hmm, maybe this is a good thing! Hahahaha...

What I meant by "stalking" is those people who enters quietly and left without leaving their footprints - Lisa and KH in particular. *Caught cha*

I have to be very careful in blogging now. Can't talk behind people's back. *wink wink*

I wonder how many more unknown stalkers there are...

你其實沒那麼喜歡他

2008-11-03T14:26:00.000+11:00

I'm sharing this entry to every reader of my blog (who obviously know how to read chinese). This post is ~~adapted~~ completely copy & paste from 貴婦奈奈的福態日記. One of her very long ago posts...

1. 如果你在胡亂心跳的時候跟一個男人獨處而決定交往，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

2. 如果符合【他其實沒那麼喜歡你】那些點而且你也常被氣得要死的男友跟你提分手，你卻想要挽回，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

3. 如果這人是你的網友，你們只在網路上聊過天，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

4. 如果你跟他是在朋友起鬨時湊合的，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

5. 如果你被英雄救美，你砰砰跳想要以身相許，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

6. 如果對方幫了你大忙，你感謝的無體投地想要以身相許，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

7. 如果對方講了非常多讚美你的話，讓你心花怒放，好像他是你的fan，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

8. 如果對方四下無人突然跟你表白，你害羞的心臟砰砰跳，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

9. 如果對方在暗巷突然勾你的肩、摸你的頭、牽你的手，你沒有拒絕，你害羞的心臟砰砰跳，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

10. 如果有人跟你玩四目相接誰先笑的遊戲，可是卻深情款款的看著你，你害羞的心臟砰砰跳，你其實沒那麼喜歡他。

Great... this is JUST great... *Roll eyes*
I overslept and missed the 1st hour of West Ham United vs Arsenal match.

Woke up at 3am and walk all the way to the staircase only to give up watching (thinking of lab meeting the very same morning at 9am).
Voila, missed the 2nd hour too!
To cut everything short, I missed the whole match, ended up no lab meeting this morning.
*sien*
Oh well, Arsenal won! Wahahahaha!!

As free as a bird

2008-10-24T10:13:00.003+11:00

Yay!! I just handed in my thesis yesterday!!

I can feel the stress slowly evaporating out of me bit by bit after I printed them, bound them, left them resting on my desk, waiting for the time to arrive before I hand them in...

*Jumping up and down, up and down... again and again*

Previously, from my msn nickname - "We'll see us in heaven, I'm counting the days..."

And for now...

WE MADE IT THROUGH!!!!!!!!

*Ahem* not quite... Thesis defence is in 2 weeks and final seminar in 3...

BUT WE ARE ALREADY IN HEAVEN!!

I'm so stressed!!

Felt like crying...

最近貧血很厲害...

To Hell with Molesters 2

2008-10-21T17:04:00.002+11:00

Since Jesselyn has been asking me if I was being molested. The answer is no. I was so aggressive in the previous post because my friend was being molested by a digusting old fellow.

She is under a case of sexual harassment by her disgusting old supervisor. 這種人渣,不死也難在這社會上生存!變態佬! He has been touching her hands, hugging her... Of course, she was very angry and shouted at him. But he still wouldn't give up. He has been calling her, e-mailing her everyday, like a stalker... When she never shows up at her work place, he would call her and insisted on visiting her at her house. She couldn't stand it anymore... She told herself that she couldn't give in to such a perverted old fellow.

She reported him... Well done my girl! Don't give in to him!

Hope they will do something to it.

Say goodbye to your career, garbage!
Guess he doesn't give a damn to his career anyway, since he is so old already.

PS. 雖然幫不到什麼忙,但是我會在精神上支持妳! If you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you.

To Hell with Molesters!

2008-10-20T15:16:00.004+11:00

Molesters should have their hands rot the hell out of them!
Damn molesters! They should all be sent to hell.

Sick!

Victory!!

2008-10-19T11:05:00.006+11:00

Recently, I have been wondering, why am I so unlucky? Why? Everything just went wrong and that luck is never by my side. For example, whichever team I supported, loses in the match. Last night, I was watching Arsenal vs Everton's match. Everton scored the first goal within 8 mins!!!

What the............. This is getting so frustrated.

The first half of the game ended with 0 vs 1 - Everton won by 1 goal. I was so worried and thought that it was my fault because I am so jinxed!! I even had the feeling of not going to watch the 2nd half and probably Arsenal will win then. But they prove me wrong. They proved that I was NOT jinxed. Within the first 5 mins of the 2nd half, Nasri scored the first goal for Arsenal with nice, clear shot! That made it a DRAW!! I got so excited!! I was praying hard for the 2nd goal from Arsenal. Finally at 70 mins, Van Persie scored the 2nd goal for Arsenal!! Woah!! I was SO HAPPY! The remaining of the game just went through smoothly until I got so drowsy and nearly felt asleep. Haha!! Until the last 5 mins, I had the feeling that Arsenal is going to win this match as they possessed the ball more frequently than Everton. However, this kind of prediction is inaccurate because you will never know what is going to happen within this 5 mins. Maybe Everton will manage to score 2 goals? We don't know.

What surprised me the most was towards the end of the game, Arsenal scored another goal by Walcott that resulted in winning with a score of 3 vs 1. Yay!! Happy! Haven't felt so happy for so long already.

The conclusion of this post is that, I'm not jinxed after all!
And I was glad that I stayed until the whole match ended.

張芸京是誰啊?

2008-10-18T00:32:00.005+11:00

張芸京是誰啊?

有一次在貴婦奈奈的部落格看了百萬小學堂...
突然蹦出一個張芸京...
ㄟ?她是誰啊?
好像很紅的說...

自從到了澳洲就好像與世隔絕...外頭發生的什麼事都不知道...
難怪Australia又稱Down Under.
真的是很DOWN UNDER!

她給我的第一印象非常好!一直很希望她能順利過關...
隔了幾天就跑去Youtube找"張芸京"這個人,才發現她竟然是超偶總冠軍耶!!
(我根本就不知道有這樣的節目)
我當然就很積極的把超偶第一季,最後一集看完...
當中,我也非常喜歡雅婷!真的很出色!
其實五位都有自己的特色...
我聽明娟唱歌,會覺得好感動,然後一直哭...真的是太棒了!
文星真的是唱台語的料! 雖說我的台語非常不行,但我聽的出他唱歌就像在說故事,好動人喔!!
宗興嘛...除了英文和粵語發音沒那麼標準外,他得爆發力真的是GOOD!!
我當然也跑去看第六名那一集... 老實說,我也好喜歡瑞欣喔!

對了,我非常喜歡來PK的符瓊音!!
真的是粉紅坦克!!

最近也很拼命的把第二季看到10月4日那一集...
符瓊音跑來參加超偶第二季,好高興喔!!可以再次聽她唱歌...
還有還有,我覺得艾成真的很爆笑哩!
我除了非常支持這兩位馬來西亞代表...我還非常的支持Sean!!
天啊!我支持的竟然都不是台灣代表...
哈哈!
我也很喜歡聽瘦瘦唱歌...非常喜歡那種Feel!
Kimmy獨特的聲音也漸漸的吸引我了...
像珊妮老師所說的,喜歡她的聲音的,就會喜歡,不喜歡的,就一定不會喜歡...
而近幾集我被她那獨特的聲音吸引了!黑馬!說的好!!

老實說我覺得怡帆好可惜喔,要是當初沒唱錯key,現在因該也會有很好的表現...
無論如何,大家加油!!!
你們都很棒!!

O_O!! I'M PREGNANT!!

2008-10-16T23:26:00.002+11:00

I'm pregnant!!! Hahaha...
*chup chup*

This is HL's definition of pregnancy.

Me: I'm not THAT hungry, but I just felt like eating something.
HL: Pregnant ar?

*Boo~~*

Yes people, I'm putting that into Hock Luckapedia.

Hock Luckapaedia 2008 October edition

2008-10-14T22:29:00.001+11:00

Ok Ok, like I said in the previous post. I'll update Hock Luckapaedia in my next post... so...
Hock Luckapeida continues...

6) If you use more toothpaste means your mouth is more smelly.
7) A fat dog indicates she is pregnant. So in general, fat ladies are pregnant. (According to this theory, I wonder if I were pregnant? Or perhaps prone to become pregnant? =.=)

PS. I realised that the "healthy food" post was combined into the previous one.

Waste of time

2008-10-12T16:12:00.003+11:00

This is totally waste of time!!
I somehow woke up VERY early this morning, say 6am? *wink wink*
I DID go back to sleep but not for long. I woke up 2 hours later and sat right in front of my 3-year-old baby - ASUS Z9200VC. I thought, I must do something "good" today.
I dig out my old recipe for bread and got started in the kitchen. After some mixing and "massaging", I left the dough under the sun to raise while preparing the outer coating for my bread. I was very excited because I haven't been baking bread for at least ONE YEAR!! Frankly speaking, I just want to escape from reality. I'm sick of thesis. I sort of use the flour that my mom bought a few months back. Guess what? Gluten free flour. Four 500g packed in a 2kg plastic. I thought of getting rid of them since it's nearly the end of the year. I wouldn't want to pack them all up and move them together. That will be so heavy and troublesome.

So, I have been using the Gluten free flour as the normal coles brand/home brand plain flour. The smell was somewhat aweful to me. I recalled HL's theory - healthy food tends to taste bad - Guess it refers to smell too. Oops! I think I have not updated Hock Luckapedia for some time. I will do that in my next post (hopefully).

After letting the final products to raise further, I arranged them nicely onto a tray and set the oven off to bake, while chilling in my room upstairs. 15 minutes later, I ran all the way down to the kitchen to fetch my bread. To my surprise, I did NOT smell the scrumptious bread that we used to after baking. I pulled open the oven, only to find that the colour was VERY different from last time!!! They have no smell and looked really pale. I took one out and tasted it. YUCK!! What is this? It's bloody salty (despite putting alot of sugar for the outer coating) and it tasted terrible!! Argh!! My first reaction was, throw them all. I threw 20 FREAKING BREAD!! 4 well-baked ones and 16 raw.

I was devastated. Pissed. I spent 3 freaking hours just for 20 buns and they were total failure. This will NEVER happen if I use plain flour. Argh!!! Waste so much ingredients...

WASTE OF TIME!!

*Gone mad*

Best Dinner

2008-10-10T23:32:00.007+11:00

I had the best food in Newcastle tonight after so many months since my mom left. It was KH's graduation today, but I couldn't make it so I asked if we could have dinner tonight to celebrate for him. In the end, he invited us over to his place for dinner. We headed to his house after our lab. Thinking that we should get him something, we dropped by woolies to get a card and champagne to congratulate him for completing his degree.

KH's mom cooked a few dishes while Fritz prepared mashed potatoes. Speaking of Fritz, woah! I haven't seen him for like more than 1 month already. I have to admit, that was the best dinner in Newcastle after my mom left. After my mom left, we have been surviving on my terrible cooking or sometimes oven baked food. Sometimes, if I was lazy enough, either I'll just skip the meal or HL will be kind enough to cook (happens 2 out of 10 times).

Hold on!! I totally forgotten about Michelle's parent's nasi lemak and mee hoon gerh. They were fabulous too! Thanks auntie and uncle!!

Ok, back to tonight's dinner. I have to say that although we went Eastern Tiger for Buffet yesterday, I definitely ate more today!! Somehow the food in Eastern Tiger made my tummy bloated very fast and nothing special. Everything was very westernised. BUT, tonight's dinner was totally different. It was just like... how to describe... the feeling of home. 媽媽的味道...

The omelette, the chicken, the stirred-fried cabbages, stirred-fried cucumbers, stirred-fried chicken+broccoli... THEY ARE ALL SO NICE!! I'm homesick now. =( Not to mention, Fritz's mashed potatoes were always the best! Our dinner ended up with the four of us - Fritz, KH, HL and I - chit chatting while drinking the champagne that we bought. (Uncle and auntie didn't want to drink). I realised both KH's father and mother are so humourous!! They joke around a lot. I guess the behaviour of the kids reflect their parents. Hahaha!!

Random conversation of the night...
Yu Wooi , note this.

Fritz: My girlfriend said I should take it here too.
HL & Me: ...
HL & Me: Yu Wooi is it?/Your girlfriend not Yu Wooi meh?

Explanation: He was used to saying "My girlfriend..." "My girlfriend..." to the other people (because they don't know her).

Me: Well, it's ok. We know her, you can say Yu Wooi. Or else it sounds weird to us.

Hahaha... I know I'm so bo liao.

Congratulations

便利貼女孩 ~ 曾馨儀Version

2008-10-08T21:09:00.002+11:00

命中注定我愛你這部電視劇最經典的一句話來自陳欣怡。

陳欣怡：「便利貼就是你需要的時候就可以隨便拿到，不需要的時候撕下來就可以丟掉，好撕不黏手，不留痕跡容易忘記，我就是這樣的一個便利貼女生。」

看了這套戲，就覺得她跟我好像哦!以前的我... (雖然現在也是差不了多少啦!)
起初我對這一部電視劇沒什麼興趣...就是在光宏跟我說他覺得我跟她很像的時候，我就立刻跑去看!果然...不是長的像，而是有點笨笨的，又很愛講話。

不過，我真的覺得她有點笨啦...
我可能是屬於比她聰明一些些的便利貼女孩吧...
斟茶倒水的東西我不會做，跑腿嘛，就有時候。
別人請我幫忙，我又不好意思拒絕...
以前我還蠢到幫別人寫作業，讓別人抄功課哩!
太像了，太像了!
還有還有，她叫陳欣怡嘛，我就叫曾馨儀! 天啊!
名字念快一點還挺相似的。

在這世界上，還有許許多多的陳欣怡。她們所為你們做的，很理所當然嗎?
要是有一天，陳欣怡不告而別，你才會發覺她的存在嗎?
你才會覺得她的重要性嗎?
還是，由始至終她都只是個隨時可以撕掉的便利貼?

那麼...不是她不配有你這樣的朋友，而是你不配有她這樣的朋友!

我...也是可以那麼容易被你們撕掉的嗎?

PS.

好久沒用中文Blog了，因該好好練一練，不然只有小學程度的國語，也通通都要還給老師囉!
感覺好慚愧喔...中英文都算半桶水吧...
講中文的時候，竟然要參雜一些英文辭彙，因為不知道中文怎樣講...
我的天啊!中文才是我的母語耶!
跟媽媽講話時，要是用太深奧的詞她又聽不懂...
「xxx 喜啥咪?」
久而久之，媽媽的英文有進步不少...呵呵!全拜她這些半桶中英文墨水的子女們。
老爸也不差呀!
最令人意外的是...老爸竟然也會給我來溜廣東話勒!(只是講的有些不標準)
啊呀，自己也沒好到哪裡去，還敢說別人。
*慚愧，慚愧*

Stressful scream (Re-edited)

2008-10-07T18:50:00.001+11:00

Mr. THL is really getting on my nerves recently...
Knowing that he was running late, yet slumbering.
I even had the time managed properly!!! GOSH!!!
Can't I spend more time with the girls after not seeing them for months!?! *cries*

Bloody annoying!

ARGH!!!!!! *scream till heads off*

Ok, done ranting.

PS. Happy Birthday Lisa.
PPS. Congratulations to Michelle in completing BBiomedSc (Hons) with Class 1!!

********************

I don't know why I was so angry at him at that time...
Stupid me...

I'm so scared!!!

2008-10-06T22:24:00.004+11:00

OMG... The weather outside is so bloody scary now. Earlier today, it was so annoying! It rained and rained and rained... Thank goodness it was labour day and I have no hands on experiment so I don't have to go to the lab. Yay!! Get to sleep in. =x

But it's so scary now. The wind is so strong. It can even open my door (which was damn heavy ok? requires great strength to have it open...)!! It seemed my window is going to shatter any moment soon. I'm alone in the room, and I'm so scared...

What should I do?

I'm so scared!!!

PS. Thesis, I hate you!!!

CaraQ Room Update

2008-10-06T15:31:00.005+11:00

Ok, update you guys. I tried the 五子棋 last night. This is how it looks like. Pretty cute huh?

That's my character!

Oh yay! I won!!

I felt being cheated in 鋤大D!!
For those who play cards should know the order, with straight being the smallest and straight flush being the biggest.

1) Straight (順子)
2) Flush (同花)
3) Full House (葫蘆)
4) Four of a kind (鐵支)
5) Straight Flush (同花順)

So, if the person comes out with a straight before you, you get to win him/her by a flush, full house, four of kind or straight flush!! Guess what?? NOT IN CARAQ ROOM!! I tried flush during my turn when the previous person came out with a straight. But I was not allowed to! At first I thought flush was not allowed, so the next time I even tried a full house. And guess what? NO~~~~ I'm not allowed to do that either!!! What the......

Furthermore, SHOULDN'T DIAMOND BE THE SMALLEST AMONGST ALL FLOWERS?

Say yes, say yes!

Well, that's what I thought so. We have been playing according to these rules all the while. So shouldn't diamond 3 be the smallest in 鋤大D? Yea? Oh well, in CaraQ, club 3 was the smallest! What the......

Totally speechless...

=(

2008-10-05T20:50:00.003+11:00

Disappointing... Very disappointing...
Draw!!! What's wrong with Arsenal yesterday?
Argh!! If only my heart was weaker... I'll get a heart attack and die straight on the spot!! *sad*
What more can I say? Sunderland was lucky and Arsenal wasn't playing up to their normal standard. Underestimation? I don't know... *sigh* messed up emotion...

******

THL! Where have you been? Couldn't get to you on your phone. Most importantly, I'm hungry already... Shall I eat without you first? Hahaha!!

CaraQ Room

2008-10-05T11:56:00.008+11:00

I sort of started playing the CaraQ Room last night.
I'm still new, so still blurish. But I guess the idea was to build your own home. To start playing, you need to register first. The link is on the title of my post or simply click on my pictures to get into the registration page! You get to receive 200 CaraQ coins upon registration. CaraQ coins are for you to buy furniture for your home, buy outfit for your character, etc. There are many ways to earn more CaraQ coins such as completing missions, having can't-remember-how-many people to view your page within 24 hours, or if you are desperate and rich enough, you can buy those coins with real cash.

*Click on the pictures to the registration page*

This is my room. I'm too poor to afford better furniture.

A Screenshot of some other people's room

Another Screenshot of other people's room

Another one

And Another one

Depends on how rich you are with CaraQ coins or how creative you are. I've seen many creative homes. Also, there are some mini games such as mental maths, typing/dancing Chicken, 鋤大D (大老二), 五子棋, etc.

The Mental Maths Classroom

Typing/Dancing Chicken

This is how the game is like

Hock Luckapaedia 2008 October edition

2008-10-03T10:15:00.010+10:00

HL's lameness strikes again.
Eric and Adeline are the witnesses.
He came out with 3 main theories last night.

1) Jellyfish can expand their bladder, so they are supposed to have the largest bladder in the world.
2) Crossing Queen Street after 8pm can disregard the traffic light*.
3) To attract girls, you need to have sexy hairless legs.

And 2 theories today.
No other witnesses.

4) Old English Cheese should be more unhealthy than Cheddar Cheese because it taste nicer. So in general, food that taste nicer are more unhealthy.
5) Digging out olives from Subway means you are racist.

* Cross at your own risk

A new found glory...

2008-10-02T23:12:00.005+10:00

Thanks Leia.
After talking to her, I felt that I'm not completely useless, not completely lost. GAMSAT 2009, I'm coming!!
I don't care if I'm going to "expire" when I finish studying.
What's more important is what I really want to do.
So... Medicine, I'm coming!!
Maybe after PhD or after nursing?

Guess I will be 30 years old when I officially finish Medical School.
Haha!! Who will still want an expired woman? (有點自暴自棄的心理與口語)

Lost

2008-10-01T21:56:00.007+10:00

Yay!! I finally got my PhD offer letter. Well, it's just a conditional offer, but it's more or less half way in. I was quite depressed when HL told me that he received the e-mail regarding PhD offer and asked me if I did too. The answer was no. I didn't receive anything close to that! But... I managed to find that offer letter later that day in my hotmail, not studentmail. Guess I filled in my hotmail instead of studentmail in the application form.

Now... I'm feeling excited. But... is this what I wanted?
Currently listening to 我的快樂 by 錦繡二重唱...
Although the lyrics are totally unrelated to my situation now, the melody sort of make me think... Is this what I really wanted?
After 4 years of PhD research, I will be granted Doctorate on Immunology and Microbiology (That's if my thesis got accepted). I will then spend rest of my life writing grants, doing research. Then what? End up like Ana? Get married, have kids, end of career. After 7 years of full-time housewife, back to research field?
Or 2 years of nursing, get my license. Get married, have kids, end of career.
Or 4 years of medicine, get my license. Get married, have kids, end of career.
Unless I give up marriage, give up on kids and dwell with career for the rest of my life.

Either way, it's a lose-lose situation.

I'm a greedy person. I want all.

I'm standing right in the middle of the cross road. I don't know which path to choose. God, I need your guidance.

周杰倫 ~ 稻香 (魔杰座 - Capricorn)

Yu Wooi updated me with Jay Chou's new album - 魔杰座. So far I have only seen 稻香 on youtube and I cannot believe that this song made me feel like crying. So nostalgic. The melody and the lyrics totally match well. What more can I say? Jay Chou is SUPER talented!! What are you waiting for? Click on the video below and watch it yourself!!!

《稻香》詞：周杰倫曲：周杰倫

　　對這個世界如果你有太多的抱怨

　　跌倒了就不敢繼續往前走

　　為什麼人要這麼的脆弱墮落

　　請你打開電視看看

　　多少人為生命在努力勇敢的走下去

　　我們是不是該知足

　　珍惜一切就算沒有擁有

　　還記得你說家是唯一的城堡隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑

　　微微笑小時候的夢我知道

　　不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠

　　回家吧回到最初的美好

　　不要這麼容易就想放棄就像我說的

　　追不到的夢想換個夢不就得了

　　為自己的人生鮮艷上色先把愛塗上喜歡的顏色

　　笑一個吧功成名就不是目的

　　讓自己快樂快樂這才叫做意義

　　童年的紙飛機現在終於飛回我手裡

　　所謂的那快樂赤腳在田里追蜻蜓追到累了

　　偷摘水果被蜜蜂給叮到怕了誰在偷笑呢

　　我靠著稻草人吹著風唱著歌睡著了

　　哦哦午後吉它在蟲鳴中更清脆

　　哦哦陽光灑在路上就不怕心碎

　　珍惜一切就算沒有擁有

　　還記得你說家是唯一的城堡隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑

　　微微笑小時候的夢我知道

　　不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠

　　回家吧回到最初的美好

　　還記得你說家是唯一的城堡隨著稻香河流繼續奔跑

　　微微笑小時候的夢我知道

　　不要哭讓螢火蟲帶著你逃跑鄉間的歌謠永遠的依靠

　　回家吧回到最初的美好

Blood Donation

2008-09-29T13:41:00.002+10:00

Went for blood donation today...
Managed to pass all the "theory tests", the minimum weight limit test as well as the blood pressure test.

However...

I failed the last "test" - Haemoglobin test. The minimum requirement was 120 on the reader (Don't know the units) but I was short of 10. The interviewer told me that finger prick wasn't that accurate and suggested me to do the blood test from the vein. The down side of it is that both of my arms will be poked with needles - one from blood test, one from blood donation. Frankly speaking, I still need my right arm for some work, so I decided not to donate. She said I'm alright to walk out today but...

I won't be able to donate for the next 6 months.

They have me blacklisted!!!

It doesn't matter. They have a surplus of O-positive blood anyway.
Yes, I have the most common blood in the whole world.
Guess they wouldn't need my blood so urgently afterall!

Hello? Needed some Luck here!

2008-09-28T04:43:00.004+10:00

No Luck. Really no luck.
Arsenal lost to Hull City with a score of 1 vs 2.
There were so many chances to score a goal but they just let the opportunity slip out of their "feet". Guess luck was really not on their side in this game.

Damn those dirty players.
Did they bribe the referee or what?
Such obvious body tackle and player kicking didn't earn them yellow cards? FINE! JUST ONE yellow card out of so many attempts of intention attacks.
Damn!
Sad...
I have to admit that Hull City really have good defense which was pretty hard to break through.

Hmm... it's okay! We have 32 matches more to go.
Looking forward to the next match vs Sunderland.
I will put the celebration on hold till they kick some asses.

PS. Yay! They beat Sheffield United with a score of 6 vs 0 in the Carling Cup. Good work!
PPS. I think I'm obsess with football already.

Quote of the day

Promises can be tricky. Sometimes you just need to let things happen in their own time, in their own way. Everything happens for a reason.

Haunting

2008-09-25T09:29:00.004+10:00

I walked down to the kitchen, passing by the sorted mails.
What? That mail wasn't there early in the day!!
I picked it with a tremble, rubbing my eyes to confirm that it was mine by reading the name off it.
Tseng Hsin-Yi, candidate number 000506.
Yes, that's me.
I felt dizzy instantly as if I was drifting in the sea.
I feel so strengthless that couldn't stand up straight.

I know this day will come.
Not that soon, but soon enough to haunt me.
My mind went blank.
I dragged myself upstairs, into my room.

I put the mail on my desk and collapsed onto the chair.
Staring at it for a few minutes, I slowly opened my drawer and dug out a pair of scissors.
Butterflies! I felt butterflies in my stomach.
I took a deep breath and started cutting the edge of the envelop.
I put down the scissors and peeped into the envelop. It was just a thin piece of paper.

I was so nervous that I think I have forgotten how to breathe!
I pull out the paper cautiously.

I passed!
Passed the minimum requirement for IELTS.
I remembered taking IELTS 4 years ago. It was apparent that my English has greatly improved. Like I said, I'm not greedy... I don't want 8's or 9's, I'll be satisfied with a band of 7.0 for all components... and I did!

Who should I thank? Who should I thank? I was grateful that my writing result turned out well. Previously, I was very upset that I did not have enough words for my critical reasoning and I knew they would penalise me for that. But... it doesn't matter anymore. Because I have gotten what I wanted. I can do better and I know that. I'm greedy for a higher band but I should learn to be grateful for such a result.

The first person that come into my mind that I want to thank is...

*drum roll*

HL!

During exams, I'm always the pessimist and he gave me the confidence. I have been complaining to him that I did not prepare anything, didn't join any workshop, didn't have a good night rest and didn't even have breakfast on the day itself! The weather was terrible and my mood was totally down. After exams, I was mumbling on "if I could have more time", "I'm never going to make it", etc etc. Everytime when I say that, he will reply, "no problem one".

When KH and Sze Yee got their results, I got even more pessimistic because out of the 3, both of them seemed to be quite confident in the writing component. We had comparable results afterall. Is that because I have higher expectation on my performance or maybe I wasn't being penalised because I had enough words? I didn't count word by word because I'm already running out of time!

HL was even expecting me to get 9's!! When I told him my result was out, he asked," So how many 9's did you get?" Come on!! He really think I have to ability to get 9's. I wish loR...

Not only I want to thank him for his support, also being a topic that I could talk about during my speaking component - The person that I enjoy spending time with. Haha... I remember reading the newspaper saying that he benefits from other people's misfortune but the benefit that he gains can benefit the others too. I was complaining to him that I was so unfortunate that few weeks and that he must have benefited from me. But he said, I benefited from him too because he was my IELTS speaking topic. I guess he was right.

Finally, I got over my IELTS.

More things to haunt me, yet to come.

PS. Congratulations to Sze Yee, who did so well that she got a band of 9.0 for listening! Woohoo!

Just thoughts...

Guys should experience the menstruation cycles too.
So that they know how suffering the cramp is...
So that they know how frustrating it is...
So that they won't complain our mood-swing...
So that they will be more considerate while we are having ours!

Urgh!

Let's drink our worries away...

2008-09-21T18:41:00.004+10:00

It was Elisha's Birthday Party yesterday and we were invited to the Clarendon Hotel for a drink. After the bad experience in the Grand Hotel the other day, I never dare to order any alcoholic drinks anymore. I had a lemonade while HL ordered a Carlton Draught. HL champion laR! Once he finished the first serving, he went to get the 2nd serving and the THIRD! What's more, after Clarendon Hotel, Elisha asked us over to the Finnegan's to continue. So, there we went! The first thing HL asked me was, "Want to get anything?"

*faint*

Yes, he got a VB and I had another lemonade. Haha... if KH is reading this he will be like, "Cindy, why you so useless one? Go pub order soft drinks!?!"

Actually, I don't understand what do they usually do in pubs? After you order a drink, you find a good spot and chill there? What else? Kill time? At least for me, it is. I really have to salute those people like Tim who can drink so many servings a night! That is totally insane!

We took a seat after getting our drinks and I stared at the TV, watching Liverpool vs Stoke City. That game totally bores me! Why? Because HL told me that Stoke City isn't that good so I had high hopes in Liverpool. Then what? Draw. As an amateur, I can see that Liverpool didn't play well. Even a keh-leh-feh like me who doesn't watch football can see that. Disappointment! I'm sure KF and William must be very disappointed too. Obviously we did not sit there full 2 hours watching that boring match. We went into another room and joined the group of people dancing on the dance floor. Surprisingly, shaking hips and butts was actually quite tiring. You know, had too much mooncake already... so I have to shake my excessive fats off myself. Haha!

Sophie and Elisha kept on praising how cute my dress was. I felt flattered. They were cute in their cocktail dress too! Sophie with her bright red strapless knee-length cocktail dress, and Elisha with her orange above-knee-length dress (that actually cost her AUD140!!). *Shake shake shake shake* shake our excessive fats off~~ We chill until they were about to close before we head back for Arsenal vs Bolton match... oh wait... Bolton vs Arsenal. I was quite surprised that I had the energy to watch another match at 2.30am when I was actually falling asleep in the pub. The first 30 minutes were really exciting because Bolton managed to score a goal through free kick and Arsenal was lagging behind. After several trials, they wasted many good opportunities to score. However, they managed to score 2 goals in less than 10 minutes apart during the first 30 minutes! So gan jiong, so exciting! Nothing fascinating during the beginning of the 2nd half. Frankly speaking, I nearly fell asleep. However, during 87 minutes (if I'm not mistaken), they scored another goal, winning with a score of 1 vs 3!

Yay! Arsenal won. We should celebrate.

Totally nonsense post.
Just felt like typing something.

Cape No. 7 ~ 海角七號

2008-09-19T11:05:00.003+10:00

Visited Sana's blog today only to find out a good movie - 海角七號!
This movie just broke the $100 million record yesterday in Taiwan.
Yes, ONLY in Taiwan.
Therefore, I went to do a google and youtube search. Viola, found the movie trailer. They even have it in English Subs! Cool huh...
It's a combination of romance & comedy and because of the language they use (colloquial style Taiwanese + Mandarin), it made the movie even funnier! Honestly, the English Sub translation was good (meaning was there) but not as funny as the original version. You know, sometimes you can't take certain phrases too literally or else it wouldn't be that funny. Also, a phrase could be expressed in different ways but actually means the same. Very colloquial.
The songs were nice too! I'm so gonna download them!
I was so excited and vow to watch that when I could!
Some people even left comments in youtube saying that no other movies other than "The Dark Knight" can compete with Cape No. 7 this year. Oh well, you can't compare 2 different styles of movie like that. But, if people actually left comments saying its comparable to the movie that I like the most this year, I certainly will watch it!!

Argh~~~

*heart itchy*

海角七號! 海角七號! 海角七號!

I feel so proud of Taiwan! Hahaha!!

Don't you do that too?
If you have a problem with that, screw yourself!
Don't you dare think that I can be bullied so easily!
You haven't seen the other side of me yet.

Possible reasons why DMB is haunted...

2008-09-10T22:51:00.004+10:00

1) DMB was located right next to the old Royal Newcastle Hospital and was connected by a bridge in each floor.
2) DMB level one was Forensic Pathology aka the morgue.
3) Dave barked towards the female toilet entrance in Fishbowl.
4) Dave suddenly disappeared into the female toilet "to play" and reappeared when Nicole called.
5) Posters just fall off the wall for no reason.
6) I heard footsteps loitering up and down outside my office late at night.
7) HL heard timer beeping irregularly in Foster's lab late at night when there was obviously nobody else around.
8) I heard someone knocking on the window at the corridor late at night and pretended that I didn't know anything.

Argh... freaking scary!

花錢買幸福

2008-09-04T23:42:00.007+10:00

花錢買幸福 Part 1

HL and I have been pampering ourselves these days. After my whole 2 weekdays + weekends of R+C and his god-knows-how-many-weeks-of-weekend-less, we pampered ourselves for the first time. It's more like I had a night dose to do in the lab and so we decided to eat out. However, we were sort of sick of those same old food on Hunter Street, so I suggested, "Let's walk to Darby Street!" We decided to have dinner in Goldberg's. Not to forget, complaining how disappointing the Merdeka Dinner was, food wise, and that Goldberg's was so much better.

We had ice chocolate...

Bread of the day for starters...

And pasta as our main course... As you can see, there was no photo taken for the pasta, because we were toooooo busy eating!! *Hehe*

*happiness*

Spent like around AUD21 per person. Yes! 4 dollars cheaper than Merdeka Dinner and we felt so contented! Bloated! =D

花錢買幸福 Part 2

Once again, we pampered ourselves after a long day of RNA extractions. That wasn't our plan for today. It was raining. Cold and windy. We stood outside DMB King Street entrance, shivering hungrily in the dark. I was grateful that Emma lent me her umbrella as I have left mine at home!! BUT, UMBRELLA DOESN'T HELP IN THIS KIND OF WEATHER!! Staring into the sky, the sky was covered with clouds. The rain drops were huge. The wind was strong. "It seemed that the rain will not stop anytime soon." said HL. "Ya, I guess so." I replied.

*sigh*

Suddenly, Eric came running down and told us that he could give us a lift!!! Aww! Life saviour!! He invited us for dinner too, since we all haven't had our dinner yet. It was past 9pm. We had nowhere else to go but Goldberg's. Unfortunately, Goldberg's was FULL! Oh well, it is always full anyway... So, Adeline walked over to Anacapri to check out if they still serve dinner. Straight to the point, we had our dinner in Anacapri. To my disappointment, the price was dear and the pasta was not as good as Goldberg's. ~_~ BUT, it was still cheaper than Merdeka Dinner!!! We even had a big piece of cake per person as dessert!! Cost me about AUD22. Check out our desserts!!

Adeline's lemon-lime tart

My Chocolate Mousse

HL's Concord???

Eric's Chocolate Mud Cake

Did you realise that the girl's had hearts and the guys had some random scribbles? *Hehe*

Random Question of the day...

HL: Why your heart black colour one?

Yes, we have been laming...

*Satisfaction*

Lastly... One random photo of 可魯 and I during Merdeka Dinner...
He was my 可魯 earlier in that day...
Why? To cut story short, I was so busy that I didn't eat anything that day. Low blood glucose and was feeling faint. Couldn't focus. Everything I see was a blur. So he was like 可魯 guiding the blind loR... No doubt, I'm the blind.

Thanks! Owe you too much...

Me: See this photo we took! *showing*
HL: Eh, quite nice wor...
Me: Of course, good camera mah...
HL: No la... it's the people in the photo la...
Me: You know, I'm in the photo, that means it includes me! *Muahahaha*
HL: But you said it's the camera mah...
Me: Nah, that includes me too! *Thick Skin*

PS. Wallet: *Vomit Blood*

Free Tour?

2008-09-03T11:29:00.003+10:00

I sort of applied for the Japan tour a while ago.
There were 15 places available and everything will be paid by the Uni.
It will be a good opportunity to take a look at another place of the world.
There are THOUSANDS of applications and they will be picking 15 only.
Like a friend once told me, "If you never try, the chances of getting it will be 0%. But if you tried, even the chance is so low that it can be negligible, there is still a chance of getting it." (sort of modified what he said)
So... I applied!
No matter if I get it or not, I will be satisfied.
At least, I've tried!

Final acceleration

2008-09-01T15:21:00.002+10:00

I was sooo BLOODY busy. R&C, R&C and R&C...

Two words - No Life!!

Finally... I AM FINALLY DONE WITH R&Cs!!! Yay!! Not to be too happy yet. I'm still BLARDY busy!! Thesis is dued in less than 2 months and then I will have my final seminar in approximately 2 and a half months time. This is my final run. Final acceleration.

Go Cindy Go!!

Single or Not, That's the question...

2008-08-07T23:41:00.000+10:00

Sometimes, I think being single is a better choice. You can just spend all your time and effort to take care of youself without worrying another person. You don't have to worry what is he/she doing when you are not around. You don't have to worry is he/she eating well, sleeping well, doing fine. Two words - Care Free.

Basically, if you are attached, the life of your partner becomes part of your life.

But sometimes, I think... Wouldn't it be better to have someone else other than you or your family to care of yourself? Wouldn't it be good to have someone who could share your sorrows or happiness with you? Wouldn't it be good to have someone there for you when you needed them? Wouldn't it be good to have someone to lend you a secure shoulder to lean on when you are totally down? Wouldn't it be good to have someone giving you the warmest hug when everything just turn its back on you? Wouldn't it be good to have someone holding your hands tight in a crowd? Wouldn't it be good to have someone there to tell you that he/she cares when you stubbornly shouted," Nobody cares!"

Wouldn't it be good to have someone who you can also take care of other than yourself? Wouldn't it be good to have someone who could share his/her sorrows or happiness with you? Wouldn't it be good to be there for someone when he/she needed you? Wouldn't it be good to lend someone your shoulder when he/she was totally down? Wouldn't it be good to give someone the warmest hug ever and let him/her feel secure? Wouldn't it be good to hold his/her tight in a crowd? Wouldn't it be good to tell someone that you care, "Yes I care, I really DO!".

Argh... I have been thinking too much! Dreaming too much! Now, back to reality.

I'm single... still... for 22 years...

如果命運掌握在自己的手中,那命中注定又是什麼?

七夕 Special

2008-08-07T14:50:00.005+10:00

An entry TOTALLY in Chinese...

今天七夕耶... 牛郎與織女一年一度在鵲橋上會面...
好溫馨感人的畫面啊!
而我... 又是一個人孤孤單單的過...
不對... 應該是...
可憐的我要陪我的老鼠們過七夕囉!
阿呀~~我在憂愁什麼?
不就是Another Day嗎?
沒有情人不代表沒有一切嘛...
你看我!還是這麼快樂!

嘿嘿!! 來... 看看我的愛情!

巨蟹座女子的愛情

巨蟹座的女子是相當憂鬱的。其實不只是如此，她也相當的瘋顛、歇斯底里，她可以很憂愁，也可以很快樂；當然也會很悲傷，也會很瘋狂。她是很溫柔的、女性化、羞怯的，但是她仍是水做的女人，而且只要開始落淚了，就很難可以停得下來，你得多帶幾條手帕才夠。

她是相當被動的，這點你得要有心理準備，所以不要以為她不為你所動，別忘了她也很害羞，在她面前千萬別發出任何過大的舉動或聲音，這會令她覺得你是否對她有什麼不滿，並且因此使她的情緒受傷。告訴你，有時你會發現天底下再也沒有什麼事會比她情緒受傷更悲慘的了。

有時你會發現，她自己會有情緒上的問題，時好時壞，但是又好像有個什麼週期似的。別懷疑，巨蟹座的守護星是月亮，所以你會發現她的情緒就像月亮般，有著陰晴圓缺的變化。她需要有安全感，她害怕失去，不管是什麼。她需要個能避難的地方。

她是個好太太，她會燒一手好菜，而且也會把小孩照顧得令你嫉妒，渴望你仍還是個孩子。她溫柔的照顧她所擁有的一切事物，其中當然也包括你。她關心許多事情，像金錢、食物、家庭、母親、秘密等。你說你在哪裡？你不是就在她的秘密裡嗎！？

還有還有....

膽小的巨蟹座，其實有捨棄一切的冒險精神。

巨蟹座屬於婚前溫柔，婚後變婆娘的女生。在婚前她可能會怕蟑螂或是老鼠，但是婚後她可以用單手打死蟑螂，甚至若遇到小流氓瞪自己的兒子，婚前膽小的巨蟹女在婚後會變得很勇敢，有可能會拿菜刀來對付流氓。

嘿嘿... 那些流氓小心一點喔!!
順道一提... 我真的很膽小耶! 不是開玩笑的... 怕痛,怕壁虎,怕那些一條條的蟲,怕孤單.... 怕這個怕那個... 說到這裡我真的必需搖搖頭... 真差勁!! 但是沒辦法, 我就是怕嘛...

Something EXTREME

2008-08-07T14:18:00.003+10:00

Something extreme I feel like doing...

LASIK
Mom has been convincing me to do Lasik surgery yet I always turn her down. Recently, I have been thinking, maybe I should get it done when I am still young. I am always looking forward to a life without wearing glasses, and without the hassle of putting on contacts and removing them. Did a google search on the operation. Apparently, the operation is performed with the patient awake and mobile. There are three main steps - flap creation, cornea remodelling and flap reposition.

Read this! (From wikipedia) - BLOODY SCARY

A corneal suction ring is applied to the eye, holding the eye in place. This step in the procedure can sometimes cause small blood vessels to burst, resulting in bleeding or subconjunctival hemorrhage into the sclera of the eye, a harmless side effect that resolves within several weeks. Increased suction typically causes a transient dimming of vision in the treated eye. Once the eye is immobilised, the flap is created. This process is achieved with a mechanical microkeratome using a metal blade, or a femtosecond laser microkeratome that creates a series of tiny closely arranged bubbles within the cornea. A hinge is left at one end of this flap. The flap is folded back, revealing the stroma, the middle section of the cornea. The process of lifting and folding back the flap can be uncomfortable.

The second step of the procedure is to use an excimer laser (193 nm) to remodel the corneal stroma. The laser vaporizes tissue in a finely controlled manner without damaging adjacent stroma. No burning with heat or actual cutting is required to ablate the tissue. The layers of tissue removed are tens of micrometers thick. Performing the laser ablation in the deeper corneal stroma typically provides for more rapid visual recovery and less pain, than the earlier technique photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). During the second step, the patient's vision will become very blurry once the flap is lifted. He/she will be able to see only white light surrounding the orange light of the laser. This can be disorienting.

After the laser has reshaped the stromal layer, the LASIK flap is carefully repositioned over the treatment area by the surgeon and checked for the presence of air bubbles, debris, and proper fit on the eye. The flap remains in position by natural adhesion until healing is completed.

Asian Blepharoplasty
My aunties have been convincing me for an Asian Blepharoplasty for the past don't know how many years and my answer is always no, no and no. Recently, I have been a bit moved by what people said. Maybe I should really do it?

Argh! Everything involve in Bleeding!?! (Taken from ienhance)

Blepharoplasty is performed with very fine electrocauterization instruments to control bleeding. In lower eyelid blepharoplasty, the doctor makes tiny incisions under the eye, removes excess skin and fatty tissue, and closes the incisions with tiny sutures to reduce scarring. Another common method, the transconjuctival approach, involves making an incision from inside the eye pocket in order to remove fat. The benefit of this method is that there is no scarring on the outside of the skin, but success depends on the contraction of the excess skin as a result from internal tightening.

In upper eyelid surgery, the incisions are made in the eyelid itself, where it would be found naturally. Excess tissue is removed, a natural skin fold is created, and the incisions are carefully closed with fine sutures. Any scars are hidden by the crease created during the procedure.

So SCARY!!!

Shopping!

All of a sudden, I felt like going shopping. Wow! "Felt like shopping" came out from my mouth. For those who knew me, how often will you hear this from me? For those who didn't know me, I don't like to shop! (Except for routine groceries). Right after lab on Saturday, I went to Charlestown, alone. One thing I hate about shopping alone is that there is nobody around to share your happiness with. No one will be there to judge if you look nice in a particular outfit. No one will be there to laugh and giggle with you. I didn't shop for long - money issue. What? You think I print notes is it? Eventually, I bought two dresses. A bit regretted now. Nevermind, my sister can have one of them. Hahaha...
