半生熟 - 品冠/戴佩妮

我喜欢的两个歌手... 真好听...
可是很明显，在MV里他们并没有爱情的感觉..哈哈




你总是腼腆用幽默语言
填满我心里的小缺陷
灌溉满座花园让我住里面
对你我怎么可能心不在焉
你总是淘气用微笑双眼
照亮我生活每个阴天
编织整片屋檐让我躲里面
对你我没有抱怨
我为你泡的咖啡额外加了甜
赶走夜的晕眩
我为你准备一整年的喜悦
一步一个脚印让幸福实现
我喜欢你却又偏偏喜欢我
零时差的拥有
点燃温柔 让孤单解冻
小心翼翼享受你害羞逗留
我喜欢追你却偏偏喜欢躲
无条件的邂逅
爱到现在 刚好半生熟
投递着微妙的感动
我为你泡的咖啡额外加了甜
赶走夜的晕眩
我为你准备一整年的喜悦
一步一个脚印让幸福实现
我喜欢你却又偏偏喜欢我
零时差的拥有
点燃温柔 让孤单解冻
小心翼翼享受你害羞逗留
我喜欢追你却偏偏喜欢躲
无条件的邂逅
爱到现在 刚好半生熟
投递着微妙的感动
我喜欢你却又偏偏喜欢我
零时差的拥有
点燃温柔 让孤单解冻
小心翼翼享受你害羞逗留
我喜欢追你却偏偏喜欢躲
无条件的邂逅
爱到现在 刚好半生熟
投递着微妙的感动
爱到现在 刚好半生熟
投递着微妙的感动

白天越来越短了

我发现自己拥有的白天越来越短了

从星期天调整时间后，下午4点半以后天就开始暗了...

天亮的时间我不晓得, 因为8、9点才起来...

可是这就是所谓英国冬天的日短夜长吧..
听说白天会越来越短... 短短的几个小时的阳光，难怪英国人都很喜欢阳光, 哈哈！人们都喜欢稀有的事情...

也好，这里的UV好像真的很强，天天躲在房里，却感觉越来越黑..哈哈..

夜长也好，晚上的工作效率比较高.. journals ar,我要杀了你！！！

^_^ ^o^ ^_^

=纪录逛街=
我一向不喜欢逛街，除非我要买某些东西..
就像今天想要买一件好（看+ 用）的寒衣，
挡风、挡雪、挡雨、保暖
真像避风港的诠释
真的很好的可以高达1、 2百镑！
普通都要£５０以上，只好再看看了...
可是看到一些好看的，好喜欢，£40-50...
但应该不足以抵抗0度以下的吧？考虑一下下...
听说圣诞节后的boxing day 很多名牌店都有大折扣，
不知道寒衣有没有折扣呢？

那时候马币２、3百块的寒衣，我应该买的...

@.@ @.@ @.@
再来，看到CANON EOS1000 £319.++
包括kit lens.. 好像挺不错的价钱..

1个survivor 65L backpack £34.99
是我在这里看到最便宜的backpack
就在grainger market里

还有，lonely planet，europe on a shoestring £15.++

一大堆东西要买，还是赚些英镑比较实际？

修理脑袋

有没有人可以骂醒我？

我不想过着这样堕落的生活...

一个星期可以有4天不踏出门外，对着电脑...
一个星期至少上课3天，都只去校园和市区买东西...

可是课业好多...
没有办法去玩...
想念却无法停止...

有没有人可以帮我修一修我的脑袋？

I earn one hour now!

Just a record, I earn one hour now. This is so called the daylight saving changes.

UK is shifting time one hour later from now onwards. ( just check the website realising the clock will only at 2am to 1am..now only 1215am..dun think im goin to EARN tat one hour..haha)So it is officially 8 hours later from MY and SG.

Well, i'm still doing my fyp-probiotic-proven health benefits review. I've just done lactose intolerance, rotavirus and antibiotic associated diarrhea and irritable bowel disease. According to my comprehensive search of evidences, probiotic is able to reduce the symptoms for health problem mentioned above. However, the strains, dosage and duration is the key to the effectiveness.

I still left inflammatary bowel disease and colon cancer.. Thinking to search the evidence for myth of reduction weight??

Can I use my one hour to search it? If cant complete, i will try to complete tomorrow... I still behind my planned to-do list. But such a great progression, feel good :)

Good morning MY and SG! Most of friends are enjoying their 3-day-weekend deepavali holidays, so i seldom see any friend on msn too..

Happy deevapali to our Indian friends and happy holiday to those concerned :)

目前的人生和生活

人生，有很多个阶段，每个阶段都有不同的精彩和酸、甜、苦、辣，而这就造就了人的一生。

生活，有很多个片段，每个片段都有不同的精华和人、事、物，而这拼凑你的生活。

如今，我在求学的阶段，却有着枯燥的生活，快要疯了！
虽然我真的喜欢营养学，可是每天找、看journals, 就在房里的同一个位置、同一个视线、重复一样的程序，我快疯了！

投诉完毕，还是要回去找、看journals... 可是庆幸的是，我会换topic..from probiotic to fiber&heart disease to steroid signalling pathways....

妹妹说羡慕，我说无聊啊！
有时候想想，那个神经很大条的妹妹如果在这里陪我，应该不会无聊...
受不了这个妹妹，msn聊都气死我了，很好奇她脑袋的构造...haha..
姐姐要不要来这里工作?haha..
我的房间绝对可以容纳你..haha..

这里没什么朋友，这里风很大，很冷...

我想念新加坡... 想念那里的生活... 那里的食物... 那里的人和朋友...

可是我不喜欢小小的新加坡，这里比较有特色...
只要想起我要去欧洲旅行，才能让我坚持下去吧？

不可以不可以，我的功课还没做完 T_T
快点努力做完，就可以去看旅行的资料了...
就算complain, 也只能在这里，怎么觉得自己好可怜　T_T

Sterling pounds drop again ><

Why it keeps dropping? today GBP-RM is 5.768, GBP-EURO is 1.26.. how can it be...

My heart keeps dropping also.. If im travelling around Europe, i rugi banyak too ><

Pls go up a little by December ok?

GBP-EURO : must go up to 1.4 T_T

欧洲之旅？

在网上溜达找欧洲旅行的资料...
对我而言，还真的很复杂...

1月到底要去西班牙-葡萄牙还是欧洲呢？还真的矛盾...

1.看到西班牙和葡萄牙的浪漫文化，就不想一个人去...可是这次不去，应该没什么机会再去了...
2.冬天去中欧不知道会是怎样的感觉呢？ 我怕太冷， 不过如果有下雪，我却很想去...hee..可是看了很多资料，发现去欧洲旅行还真的不简单，要买飞机票还是火车票都挺烦的，火车票却还要提早买票比较便宜吧，还要选择几天票，扩越几个国家都要预先定购才比较便宜...可是现在没时间计划啊！还是夏天去？跟trip去比较容易简单吧？哈哈

3.或者想去意大利?

hmmmmmm...

Time Zone

Based on one of the local friend, this Sunday our time will be shifted one hour later. On Saturday night, I will change my clock from 10pm to 9pm, for example.

Means it will be 8 hours behind MY and SG.

Information above was given by a new friend from local. But i think he is the blur-type. Ask him whether is Autumn now, he said Winter now. Actually to them, no difference in Autumn and Winter, and he told me: Here is winter all year round.

Ask him the time zone, he said SHOULD BE this sunday and change back to 7 hours difference in March or April.

I will confirm the time zone with other classmates...

Ok, today is a tiring day. Haiz, one journal is not acceptable, need to look for another journal for my fiber-heart disease essay. Later need to get my probiotic literature review done and send to lecturer tomorrow.

This weekend, shall start doing my fiber-heart disease essay, critically evaluate journal by journal on 3 primary sources and discuss it by putting my own opinions. This weekend to-do list include reading the steroid signalling pathways 2 journals, perhaps should find the relevant type 2 mechanisms journals...

Omg, after today cholesterol practical, i have one more reports due before christmas, all come in one!! Sabar, after christmas I wanna go travelling.. hohoho.....

Btw ahyi told me pounds-RM drop to 5.9++ again.. sign...

MILO, 真好！

今天，好像很多东西纪录...

带来的500克milo,今天终于“开张”了...

因为，今天真的很冷...死heater又病了...
所以，想泡热热的milo来喝，+上冰箱里的半脂鲜奶，让我整个身体暖和许多啊！

老实说，好像没有在这里看到milo,没什么注意到...
下次再去看看好了...

MILO, 真好！

很好，本小姐今天很内疚，没有用工读书+做功课
上网找资料...找...spain的机票和圣诞节...

今天的重点结论是：
Uk christmas is much more happening and commercialised than Spain.
5 jan is more happening than 25 Dec in SPAIN!
Ryanair.com one way to Barcelona costs 26pounds on 5 Jan!!

^^这两天皮肤严重脱皮，尤其是嘴角和下巴，吃饭讲话都辛苦！ @_@

Appendix:

Christmas in Spain
If you are planning to spend Christmas in Spain then you are in for a treat so long as you are going to stay into the New Year. In Spain the traditional day for celebrating is not the 25th of December but the night of January 5th when the Three Kings come into each and every home and leave presents for the children in the fireplace. The 25th December is a public holiday and some children now have a Papa Noel that comes to them then too but the main celebrations in all the towns and homes are on the night of January 5th. If you cannot stay in Spain until then, you will miss out on the major part of Christmas here.
On January 5th as it begins to get dark each town will have a major procession going through it and all the children line up on the edge of the road to watch the arrival of the Three Kings. They arrive on horseback or camel and as the floats go by sweets, rather hard ones usually, are thrown by the children and adults on the floats to all the people lined up on the streets. Children bring cones and bags to fill as the sweets pour or bounce onto the pavements. It is a wonderful 30-45 minutes for the children and afterwards the adults usually go in search of a tapas bar where children are of course welcome ( this is Spain!) and the rest of the evening is passed away merrily.
On the day of the 6th it is a public holiday and the Spanish have a feast of seafood, ham and a traditional cake made of almonds, sugar, flour and turron.
Christmas in Spain is far less commercial than in the UK. The streets will hang out lights but only the larger stores will go to any great effort to decorate their windows with festive Christmas trees and reindeer. Families do not put out lights outside their homes as they do in the UK, the whole thing is far less “twinkly.” If you hate the commercial side of Christmas in the UK then spending Christmas in Spain is a good choice. Personally I miss the “twinkle” and the big build up but I just LOVE Christmas so I bring the “twinkle” here and hang out everything and anything on my balcony and my tree still goes up at the end of November.
Crackers, cards, mince pies, Christmas cake, turkey, baby sausages, festive paper, real Christmas trees are all hard to find here in Spain. If they are important to you bring what you can over with you. If you are staying near Gibraltar, perhaps on the Costa del Sol then you can always do a quick drive over there ( don’t forget your passport) and stock up on treats at the supermarket there. You will find some Spanish supermarkets sell turkey and mince pies, but only in areas that have a high density of ex-pats living there. Better to be on the safe side and pack a few extras in your suitcase.
For me the best solution is to spend Christmas in the UK and then whilst everyone is depressed at the thought of more cold weather and long queues at the shops during the sales I head to Spain for the wonderful celebrations of the Three Kings and usually warm sunshine. I get my fix of sales on the 26th and by the 27th I am ready to spend the next Christmas in Spain. Two Christmas’ each year. What a perfect life!

纪录一下，今天脑袋坏掉

今天，10月22日，英国时间下午5点多，本小姐的脑袋应该是坏掉了，一直到吃过晚餐约7点才清醒...


我...在台湾的英国留学网站看到跳蚤市场，有便宜的2手棉被，正是本小姐目前最需要的... 二手棉被，基于卫生关系，很多人都不会买吧？


刚好本小姐就是穷学生，就是要存钱去玩...所以一条双人棉被2磅，真的很吸引我...朋友们的单人棉被至少6镑以上...


今天下课以后，约了时间看棉被和10p的文件夹，我看到最便宜，买99p一个也！看了棉被，还ok,但是基于卫生问题，还是要洗过，还是装上cover才可以用吧！单人cover最便宜也要4镑，比我的棉被还贵，我怎么可能去买呢？反正才用9个月而已...


那时候，脑袋应该坏掉了. 考虑了几分钟，就决定买下....


晚餐时间了，再不吃，胃就会痛了，炒个菜，来个蘑菇汤和饭.吃饭后，上网，然后就要开始洗棉被了... 知道会吃力，可是还是要洗啊！不可能花钱到宿舍外的洗衣机洗吧！洗+烘干要3镑也！


听了suchew的建议，用bathtub来洗...结果，我觉得那是一项非常好的运动，本小姐在这里根本没有机会运动，平常洗衣服是消耗能量最好的途径，现在洗棉被简直是激烈运动！！！


我后悔了... 用多大的力气把湿的棉被扛到房里，用多大的力气洗棉被... 我, 后悔了！为什么我不花6镑买新的，不用浪费时间，不会在浴室里滑一跤, 害我气喘如牛...


现在，是如何干的问题... 以下是本小姐唯一想到如何让这条棉被可以躺着的空间和方式...垃圾桶只是为了收集“水”...呵呵.. 希望明天可以干... 这里很干燥，为房间滋润？ 我不知道.... 反正我只知道我笨死了... 谁叫人家穷 >< 房里暖气又失灵很多天了！ T_T 明天再放在窗口..heezz

在英国的第44天

现在凌晨12点半，温度5度！

平时有heater还ok..现在是完全没有heater也！好冷！


今天完全没有production!原因很多... 太兴奋了啦！

记录以下：
我有一位OMAR,中东国家的一位同学。她，应该30左右，在她的国家有老公和一对子女，儿子6岁，女儿2岁。她在这里一年了，当她女儿5个月大时，她就得离开，带着当时工作的医院给的奖学金，来这里念营养学。

当时，有很多人鼓励她来，毕竟学费、生活费和薪水都有。只是，她舍不得家人。可是为了前途，还有很多人支持她来完成学士...她还是来了。

现在，她的女儿大了，竟然不认妈妈，认为照顾她长大的阿姨才是她的妈妈，她，真的很伤心。

她来的第一个星期，天天以泪洗脸..第二个星期才开始对自己说：要坚持下去....才走到今天...

一个星期，就像一年一样难过......

而我，也谈起了自己...时间好像真的很难过,看着墙上的日历，才觉得日子过得很慢很慢...可是我知道我的决定依然没错。

只有diploma,我一定不甘心，若干年后我还要继续念书，我的处境可能就跟她一样了，或许，如果那时候我真的成家了，我应该就不会继续念书了，可是如果真的花费全包，新水依旧拿呢？

不管怎样，离开一年，以后就比较好过日子，自己也心甘情愿。回头看，发现一年并不长。

虽然，现在真的很难过，不过还是会咬紧牙根走下去，很快很快就结束了所谓的外国大学生活。

过后，她告诉我，圣诞节前她会回国5个星期，可是...那时候不是有考试吗？！

原来，这个学期并没有考试啊！天啊！那不是表示我有6个星期的假期，12月20号就开始放假...2月2号才开始第二个学期啊！接着，继续上课,我却再也不能专心上课...太兴奋了！有个“我也回国”的念头闪过...可是，我不能任性啊！新币2千，可以去欧洲玩很久了...所以，我太兴奋了...一直想要怎样度过我的6个星期？ 其实，刚开学不久，就要交功课,而且还有fyp...可是我至少可以去欧洲玩个3-4个礼拜？ most likely in SPAIN/PORTUGAL...

可是，根本没有做research on travelling..所以再看看吧！打算买lonely planet, 自己去backpack了...crab有考试，应该不能跟我一起去...自己一个人的欧洲旅行..不知道是好是坏？虽然我知道安全是个因素...

My hostel

After writing my outcome of studies, which i always like to share my findings. I wanna talk about my hostel... It has the positive sides, where it is very private, I own my whole room, though not big. It feels so good, its so called FREEDOM!

I don't mean I have no freedom in Singapore, but i need to responsible for the tidiness, the electrical bill, and blah blah blah.. With contrast to my friend next door, I really not-so-tidy, as in my table is full of my articles, foods, stationary, camera and drinks... And I dun have hanger in my room, so I place them on top of the shelf...erm..so look really messy. Haha, but I dont mind, cause personal space, as long as I know where can I find my things.

The negative side of this hostel... PLENTY! Occasionally, no heater, like now. It has been falling to one-digit degree celcius temperature and strong wind, I shut the window, wear long sleeve and pants but still feeling cold. Occasionally, no hot water, which means I cant bath! All above I can endure, the worst thing is the FIRE ALARM!!! It always rings falsely, as in due to smoking or cooking (YES, IT IS VERY SENSITIVE!) and half of the occasions in midnight, we tried going out in 1am, 2am, 3.30am, 5am, 630 am... and day and night time too...

IT ALWAYS DISTURB OUR RESTING TIME!! REALLY FRUSTRATED! We have been here for 43 days, and we experience at least 12 times of fire alarms, can you imagine the frequency? Average once in 3-4 days?? This is RIDICULOUS!

I already have forbia, putting my thick jacket and long pants on side, incase it rings, I can go out quickly. ITS DAMN COOL OUTSIDE! I really hate firealarms!!! We always laugh those bring their foods or wearing shower cap or towel on wet hairs.. Who knows if one day I'm bathing and it rings??!!!

Fortunately I have no morning class this sem, wat if i have next sem? Like my neighbour who miss their early lesson this morning due to 3am fire alarm?!!!

Besides, the noise also irritating, but I think I'm less sensitive as my neighbours. They are more frequently disturb by the noise due to doors (heavy doors everywhere, to block fire and smokes,just in case) and walk-by residents. Last night, those angmoh drunk and keep making noise in our kitchen and walk way till 3am.. and 330, the alarm rang! SOme of them cant sleep due to the noise and finally they thought they can sleep, but the alarm rang!!!!!!! OK, I'm inert to those noise but cant resist to firealarms!!!!

Minor part is the dimming light, I dun understand why they put such a dimming light in hall of residence, and I heard, in most of the UK university residences. FUNNY RIGHT? Keep making us sleepy.. But well, I'm quite ok with it...

OK, enough of complains, despite the fire alarms, im actually quite ok to anything... I still need to endure till JULY 2009...

OKOK..back to wrap up my literature review.. and good night.

My life- study and food intake :p

一个星期，上课3天，星期五为project day.
由于我的project是research为主，所以不必到实验室报道。
若星期五，我偷懒，剩下的4天就是自己安排的节目。

我，本来就不是一个有计划，有规律的学生。
所以，我可以一连4天让身体好像废人一样，拥有最低的消耗能量，坐在电脑前面，但3餐依旧。谁让我爱上营养学，就是要让身体摄取最足够的营养。

在这里生活，最开心是能够自由选择自己的饮食。虽然少了我最爱的寿司、面粉馃、肉骨茶、laksa等等，可是我却能够选择不进食高油、高盐和高脂肪的食物，目前都以蔬果为主, 但是我还是不能当个完全的素食者，因为我放不下我最爱的三文鱼和肉骨茶,哈哈！如果维持这样的饮食方式，平均2-3个星期可以客串素食者，哈哈。Yoghurt, kiwi, oats, 面饭食等等都是我的主要粮食，偶尔却还是会选择罐头和速食面等等，不然这里的生活本来就单调，应该要让食物多元化一点吧？呵呵

怎么开始写自己的饮食呢？其实是因为现在的生活不是围绕着我的营养学系的课业，就是每天准备自己的三餐，所以不谈功课，就谈饮食吧？ 虽然，它们不多不少都是有关联的，所以我才会喜欢上营养学吧？它跟我们的生活有着很密切的关系。

最近一直在找journal,看journal...
昨天重点在fiber (纤维）和heart disease (心脏病）的密切关系；今天是我的FYP,关于probiotics,也就是有益的菌类，尤其是对肠胃和immune system, 免疫系统有益处。

虽然找资料的过程很难过，尤其是找不到需要的文章时，更是压力。可是读着，读着，却越来越着迷... 我知道我喜欢的，只是时间总是紧迫，我的学习理解能力和写报告速度总是需要改进。呵呵

根据研究，没有直接的报告显示fiber能够降低心脏病的发作，可是wholegrain, nuts却有有力的证据显示降低心脏病的风险。

至于probiotic, 是确定对肠胃好，保持好与坏菌的平衡，是个很好研究的课题。而我选择的研究对象是Awareness of health benefits and evaluation of intake of probiotic products in Singapore. 所以，将会设计一系列的问题针对居住新加坡的人民...你们，迟点会受到我的 “邀请”填哦！要认真的填哦！呵呵 ！ 教授觉得100人是不错的数额，性别、年龄、教育背景将会是比较的因素。

目前，需要帮忙的是新加坡的probiotic products and markets... still doing research.. give me some information if you have :p

Part of my drafted literature review :
"These bacteria are normally incorporated into yogurt, fermented milk, powder as well as capsules as supplement. In Singapore, intake of probiotics is commonly provided by yoghurt and Yakult, Nestle and Danone are few yoghurt brands that are more commonly available in island wide neighborhood supermarkets such as NTUC, coldstorage and ShenShong."

Cheese also contains probiotics, but less commonly aware by consumers.

Hmm,still drafting my literature review, any comment, you are most welcome :p

Do you know that benefits of probiotics, scientically proven??
"There have been many studies done to prove benefits of probiotics as functional food. Probiotic is important in maintaining health of gastrointestinal as well as human well being. Evidences have been collected to prove that probiotics are beneficial to gastrointestinal tract by maintaining the balance of “good” and pathogenic microflora in colon and enhance immunity function. Probiotics demonstrate the function of relieving constipation, treating diarrhea (rotavirus, traveler or antibiotic-associated), pouchitis, vaginal infection and maintain remission of inflammatory colitis. On top of it, some scientists suggest that probiotics have exerted positive impact on cancer, allergic, bowel disorders and failure to thrive. However, more studies need to be done to support the suggestion above"

在英国的第43天 - 挑战

曾经以为梦想遥不可及
曾经以为梦想豪华美丽

是阴差阳错还是上天对我的仁慈
我在没有准备下攀上了梦想的山
以为一路 风景优美 轻松写意
其实不然 牵肠挂肚 压力课业
一直埋头苦干 只为了爬到山顶
争取那份属于家人和自己的荣耀

只是 如果一直维持到达目的地的心态
我会 忽略身边美好的风景
那风 那云 那山 本是美丽景色
我的眼帘却只有那条羊肠小径？
奈何 那却是捷径啊！

是不是对课业影响不大的情况下
仍有闲情赞美那快遗失的美好？

我，又开始挑战自己的极限了！
我的人生，一次又一次突破自己的极限，该属好事。

挑战，是让人生充满热情和动力的基因。

Friday is PROJECT DAY???

Friday is my project day. By right, I should be doing research or lab work for my project. But I always think it is just another rest day for me. haha!!!

Met Supervisor, a nice lady at 1130am. Discussing the direction of my project. After submitting Project Overview Form and Ethic Consideration Form at 130pm, I went Morrison to shop grocery,half an hour walk from hostel to there to get the rice, oat porriage, kiwi+plain low fat yogurt (this combination has become my favourite!!!), some canned foods -mushroom,tomato and vegetable soup (i dun mean to buy them,but its cheap! 28p for one, just for storage since reduction in price) and blah blah blah.

After shopping, grab the time to skype with him before he went sleep. Recently I'm really been stressing up, experiencing poor sleeping quality, been waken up in the midnight and it always happens!So I lay on the bed after chatting...... one hour gone......

Tought the Chinese (from china) friend who shares the kitchen on how to fry and bake pasta..I never bake before, cause I dun like cheese, but I tought her the way I think it should be. Hmm,I think it works. But never ask her how does it taste as I was off from kitchen after eating my KIWI..hee

Back to room and still dun feel like doing any work, cause have been working so hard last few days. Today, simply wanna take a rest. I know, I will have to work again, after dinner time.

The thing is .. i get some time to visit friends' blogs. Nana, laoda, H.Wah, H.Wen, Sister, jiaojie...... It seems like I have lost contact with them, I have been keeping myself in my own world...

Feel great to catch up with each other,and most of us have back to students' status after a year or so of working life.

When we work, we hate bosses and wanna study. When we study, we have no spending power and stress up by quizes and assignments. If u ever choose again, which one would u like to be ???

So, treasure your study life =)

I'm really still stressed up. but i will try to adapt and enjoy the learning processes, plus the support given. After this, I will never be the student again!!!

For all, work hard and jiayou!


NOW,dinner time!! ABC SOUP!!

Stress!

I dunno how do i destress during poly time?? Hanging out at FC2 and chatting with you guys? Write blog? Working? Eating? I cant recall.

I'm so stress here... Plenty of journals to read, on
1.dietery fibre-heart disease (group project),
2.probiotic (My FYP, individual),
3.5 a day (Dietery scheme in UK, evaluate this policy, gosh),
4.hypertention and renal disease ( i have not done anything yet but the presentation is at early Dec, my hk groupmate seems dun bother too><),
5.Steroid signalling pathway (the chim thing, have not found any journals),
6.Bioethic posters (not yet been informed how to do><)
7.Clinal nutrition and dietetics 2 Lab Report (2500words?)

All above due from end of nov to mid dec.

I'm really stressed up. In the mean time, I really have to catch up my molecular pathophysiology lesson...

After end of Dec, starting from 20Dec I have 3 weeks Christmas and New Year break and followed by the first sem exam.

Here is where one sem has gone and, after 2 exam weeks, straight away starting the new sem2. Sound fast?

I dont know. I feel I need to find journals and all of them are chasing me to read them, to understand and put into my all >2000 words assignments.

so is it normal to keep awaking in the middle of night??

神啊，救救我吧！

Famous Places to go..

不小心看到香港同学的USB里有照片，让我想起，我还没有走这个城市...而他，去了很多地方...

著名的Angel of the North (the largest sculpture in Britain, 10th anniversay on this year), St James Park (2nd largest stadium in UK), Gateshead Millennium Bridge - the world's first and only tilting bridge...

这么靠近都还没有去，有点内疚ing..快点把基础打好，我要在周末去走走啦！

然后，再去York, Birmingham, Sheffield, Nottingham, Liverpool, London 等等..heezz..

给我多点时间 =）

11月一定要去玩了...哈哈...

快点把书读好，assignment do it on time...

I'm in UK!!! Study smart and play hard..tHis Is AlWayS mY waY..hahaa..

P/S: 教授今天给我去年他们的slides, go through with me, 我觉得好多了...所以会更努力的啦！不会让你，你们和教授们失望 =）

OOPS， 今天是我爸爸的生日，台湾的双十节，要打电话回家了.. 祝我的爸爸生日快乐，要健康快乐。虽然爸爸有我，就很开心了.haha.. 今年要怎样逗爸爸呢？ hmm...

Switch or Stay?

hmm,first of all, i need to make another decision, yes, another one... to SWITCH course to Food Science and Nutrition instead of Human Nutrition that I'm taking currently.

Seriously consider it when I totally don't understand what lecturer is talking about, 2nd chapter in Molecular Pathophysiology. I email the Fd Sci and Nutr. programme leader to ask about it. Today, he replied me that I have absolutely no problem to switch it.

But, as I think further, this is my interest, and HE is right, I'm studying on WHAT i like, not many people can study what they like. Im lucky, right?

And my classmate is right (the hk guy, first time he took initiative to talk to me,when he heard I want to switch course), that is your career for life.

If I choose Nutrition, I can be nutritionist (perhaps not yet, in UK, you need to practice 3 years to be the FULL nutritionist, I think SG doesnt have the practice) OR perhaps I can still be employed as food technologist or any food industry as I have 1year experience + Dip. in Food Tech background.

On the other hand, it is unlikely for me to be the PROFESSIONAL nutritionist, if I switch back to Food Science and Nutrition, and the different modules are including Food Technology (those preservation, processes, raw materials etc), Sensory Evaluation and Pdt Dev., Food Quality and Safety (QA,QC, ISO, HACCP- I really dont like it though it has the greatest value in food industry in SG!).

Hmm, I know my decision. But it will really be a tough year for me, by studying the Molecular Pathophysiology and it lasts for a year! Plus, I think i will really score low for Bioethics, as this is oral defence based. No exam and it is your way of presentation and defence with evidence. Kinda psychology, an ethical scientist? This is quite interesting but can i deliver my presentation and defence in CHINESE? haha! It just too much chim terms and different culture to me.

OK, Im gotta be hardworking enough.. Even if the grades are bad, I have no regret, as I have chosen it. But I will definately work hard for it :p

I'm happy to be in this course, right? This is my interest and there are so much people NOT pursuing WHAT THEY LIKE.

Sometimes, they not even know what they like.

I'm lucky. I'm blessed to be here.

Ok, not thinking about grade, though it does affect my future... BUT its my interest!!

I'm going to work extremely hard for it. 8 months to go. It is fast and furious :p

Ok, must emphasis. Im following the direction to WHAT I like.

**CHEER UP that I have decided not to switch course and confirm FYP on Probiotic. But supervisor advised me to do literature review before choosing my focus on shelf life or acidity.

Hmm.. probiotic.. interesting, isn't it =)

Good, everything on track again. StaY, Probiotic and Molecular lecturer is giving me their 2nd year-biology disease, the previous year's slides. Just work hard...

I CAN DO IT :p

If I cant find job...Be shao nai nai? hahaaaaaa :x

Decision on FYP..headache

Indecisive...

Whenever there are choices available, it could be annoying too.

For FYP titles.. Lecturer given directions as below:
1. Probiotic and the shelf life. As I research further, probiotic is very beneficial to human body to create the healthy ecological environment in GI system and to prevent cancer to certain extent. However, the viability and survival of probiotic bacteria in foods are low. Thus, several factors like oxygen, incorporation of prebiotic can be helpful. If I choose this, I will work more on technical aspect? I wonder if it will too much away from HUMAN NUTRITION,as what I shld be focused.. I doubt so.

2. Probiotic and acidity. This is more "chim" to me and I dun find it interesting. Could be adjusting the pH on milk and culture the probiotic in to access the acid shock/stress response of probiotic bacteria. I even find out some journal did it by collecting faeces from panelist and analyse it. Omg! Though it will help to identify how the probiotic can survive in different pH medium.

3. Probiotic and raffinose. Searched that raffinose is oligosaccharides, found in sugarbeet. Lecturer is very interested to know how the raffinose can influence the probiotic bacteria in antioxidative aspect. Well, it is really no research has been done, and you will never know if this works. It is very risky but challenging.

4. Comparison of diet history of Malaysian and UK diet as suggested by lecturer and more relevant to my course of study. However, this is very difficult, to find 15 panelists each and need to really strict to ask them record all their diet for 3days. It is not an easy job to train them and make sure they do it correctly. The source of panelists is a main problem too. Very troublesome in compiling the data. But it is more relevant to my course compared with others mentioned above.

I'm so headache! Gosh... Stress ar...

I think I'm more likely to go for choice one-probiotic and shelf life as the sources seems to be more available. But kinda food tech based. Haiz.. I'm nutritionist >< but I could have more market value when back to SG to work with this as the FYP? Nutritionist job is so much harder to find.. haiz..

Any suggestion?

10min blog

Utilising my 10min to write a short one.

Getting know the 2 new angmoh friends, who are my investigative biology groupmates. 2 gals, elder than me but both are quite nice. This project solely research and project, minor part of group introduction and conclusion while majorly on individual topics related to the main title.

I still trying hard to understand the Proper British English. SO, I thought I supposed to meet my final year project supervisor, individual one, at 1230pm(via email) but think she changed to earlier. So, Im meeting her at 1pm, alone. Other classmates have gone.

Right, it is about a week of schooling. Besides the tough Molecular Pathophysiology which is most difficult, not only to me, but other classmates voice their difficulties to programme leader too. Bioethics and Food policy are debateable, but quite interesting. The latter one is non-exam. Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics is most appealing to me, interesting!

Then the Investigative biology and final year project are very independant while latter one is individual, different from poly.

Right, I shall stop here to meet my lecturer. Hmm, labcoat £9.50 while googles £2. Haiz, must try to get 2nd hand thing... Remind me to ask seniors or classmates who may want to sell their labcoat =)

Cheers,
Nie

10月2日 雨天

晚上1o点多，从图书馆回到宿舍的十分钟。
图书馆，依然开着，自助服务一直到凌晨。
披着厚厚的大衣，围着红色的围巾，那条你们送的围巾，真的温暖。
虽然时间已晚，但图书馆对面新开给学生的小酒吧依然热闹，还有在路上零零碎碎的学生踪影。
几滴雨水打在脸上，一手拿着两本厚厚的人类营养学课本，肩上背着包包，我匆忙地披上衣帽，大步大步地走回宿舍。

越靠近宿舍的门口，雨越下越大...
此刻，典型的外国留学生感觉特别强烈...

一身臃肿的打扮和手上的两本重几公斤的课本，使我更笨拙了...
幸好听到跟随而来的钥匙声，让我淋少点雨...
匆忙地回到房间门口，把包包里的笔记都搬出来才找到钥匙脱下大衣，换掉牛仔裤，才舒服此刻，这片窗镜以外的空间已被倾盆而以下的雨水镇服我，叹了口气...还好没变落汤鸡...

TO Nana

Nowadays, Do not need to learn hard for language, Google translation can do the job, relatively well!

I'm so suprised that you left "Nice article" in the previous entry. Seems like u understand and read it. I was wondering, is anyone known-read chinese person translated to you.

As I think further, and read HW's blog, It reminds me Laoda ever said google translator does good job,most of the time. So i tried to copy and paste it, and click "submit". I'm suprisingly the translation are translated accurately as high as 80%!

So next time i can write my article in Chinese freely and make u to translate it?haha...
Im so mean.

I will try to write some english articles too..but my english is not goood. haha..

Well, sorry for keep writing chinese, I should practice my english too...haha...
But now, can i use more scientific terms? The lecturer is killing me, 80% of his words are scientific terms, so I only understand 20% of it, in average. HAHA!

OKay, Studying signal transduction now.. later 3-5pm lesson is bioethnics, this sounds chim to me too..Talking about what is adequate in biological world.. I tink more on debate, I sure die. Cz while im trying to undertand their accents, I will be debated.

Right... The worst thing is my HK classmate told me, the cell signalling is EASY! omg... i...so .. stress..

Alright, enough of spending time on blogs and internet. Back to study... ><

"鞋理論" ∼吳淡如‏

吳淡如說：
「年輕的時候真的因為買錯東西，交過很多學費
但是到了現在，我已經能夠認識自己、了解自己,
知道什麼東西適合自己，
所以在下決定的時候就會很清楚、很確定」

吳淡如說：我真的覺得，女人尋找適合的男人
就像是尋找一雙適合的鞋子在年輕的時候，
女人買的往往是最華麗 最能墊高自己高度的鞋子
或許是高跟鞋、或許是恨天高
即使難穿也沒關係 因為妳覺得妳自己可以忍耐

但是，如果有一天
妳忍耐到拇指外翻、腳起水泡
妳才會發現，鞋子最重要的功能
其實是要陪妳走路而已
而走路是要往前走的，
不是要站在原地的
婚姻就像找鞋
標準一直在變所以，
這時候妳就會去找一雙很舒適的
會保護妳的腳的、會陪著妳一起向前走的鞋
而不是去增加你的高度，因為妳就是這個樣子

吳淡如說：
「但是這其中也有一個前提就是妳也不能找太醜的鞋 因為如果太醜妳就不會喜歡它」

婚姻其實就像每個人在找鞋而已
我發現自己從很年輕的時候到現在
找鞋的人格一直慢慢地在改變
因為你已經慢慢接受自己原本的高度
不需要靠鞋子來墊高自己了不過，
雖然這個道理聽起來很簡單似乎人人都可以領會
但是，吳淡如也坦承要充分參悟其中的道理，其實不是那麼容易

吳淡如以自己為例，和男朋友Simon鄧
其實在民國八十二年就認識，
原先只是朋友 直到最近這一、兩年兩個人才有比較深入的來往
那種感覺就像古代的文藝小說中所說的『過盡千帆皆不是』

你（妳）會突然發現好女人（男人）還是在你（妳）的身邊
他（她）也許不是最漂亮的鞋，而是一雙很舒服、能走長久的鞋∼

吳淡如說：「我男朋友對我的所有態度
永遠是：『我可以為妳做什麼？』
我後來才覺得
原來這才是人間最稀罕的一種品質」

我真的是後來才發現
像這種從台北載妳到高雄 都叫做『順路』的人
而且他自己有他自己的工作原則、價值觀、人生觀
他不會嫉妒妳的成就，也不會嫉妒妳賺的錢
願意對妳的一切樂觀其成對任何妳想做的各種實驗，永遠都不加置諱
因為那不關他的事，這是妳自己的選擇

老實跟你說，這樣的人還真少
正如吳淡如的一篇文章中所說的：
「沒有一種幸福的背後不站著一個曾經咬緊牙根的堅定靈魂」

吳淡如如今對生活和人生的了悟
其實也經過一番寒風徹骨
從來沒有在人前掉過一滴眼淚的吳淡如在看到弟弟的字跡那一剎那，還是當場哭了起來
弟弟的離開對我的人生，其實影響很大即使是我後來跑去奧修社區
在做一些 meditation（冥想）的時候，都還是會放聲大哭
表示你的那種悲傷的能量還是在漸漸釋放之中弟弟的離開，
第一當然是讓我體會到人生無常
第二是讓我了解，人生的快樂和不快樂
真的是掌握在自己手中
跟你原先擁有的資質完全無關
我開始看見人有無限可能，我不是只能做這些事情」

「就是我一定要把人生過得加倍精采該玩的一定替你去玩；
該看的花該看的動物，都幫你去看；
該償還的，我也幫你償還耳邊響起的
也正是吳淡如的那句話： 『過盡千帆皆不是』

你（妳）會突然發現好女人（男人）還是在你（妳）的身邊
他（她）也許不是最漂亮的鞋，而是一雙很舒服、能走長久的鞋∼

祝福大家都能找到一雙適合自己.很舒服.能走長久的鞋.
若是鞋子已經穿在腳上.可能不太舒服.也不太好走...
我的想法是... 不妨多忍讓一下.多協調一下.試著走一段時間....
經過磨合.調整....穿起來自然會舒服些..
如果...不能舒服些...嘿嘿....要踢掉.要換鞋.要光腳...由你決定囉!
