爸爸罵我 笨蛋

一個月沒有打電話回家了
媽媽說 爸爸想念我
其實我知道是媽媽想念我...呵呵...

花了3鎊多的電話費，就是給爸爸罵我 笨蛋 T_T
雖然我知道他們一定反對我一個人去旅行，可是我還是堅持要去瑞典啦！

爸爸：笨蛋的，一個人好玩麽？
爸爸：一個人，生病受傷的時候怎麽辦？

我：可是沒有朋友去啊，我這個學期沒有考試，其他朋友有考試嘛……
（人家也不是要自己一個人去，就是沒伴嘛，怎麽可能浪費6個星期的假期？）
（想不到人家的第一次一個人的旅行給了瑞典，至少她是個不錯的國家！）
我：所以我只是去8天，而且瑞典是個非常安全的國家，還有一個認識兩年多的女性網友在那裏……
（p/s: 一整天在看瑞典和西班牙旅行的資料，竟然想念41天越寮泰的背包旅行，因爲這裡什麽都要預訂，不管是住宿還是交通，不能看‘貨’后再決定！而且好貴呢！煩呢！此刻超想念旅遊達人:p）

爸爸：如果搭錯巴士怎麽辦？　笨蛋的，笨蛋的！
我：我有朋友在那裏，有什麽問題我可以打電話問她．．．

爸爸還是那句：笨蛋的，笨蛋的...
我：飛機票來回少過馬幣100塊, 火車票也買了，我要看雪啦，我不管，英國看不到雪景，我要看雪！
爸爸： 不是錢的問題...是安全的問題...

媽媽：在那裏，去玩，我們並不反對，但是不要一個人去玩……
媽媽：那我們不是聯絡不到你？我們會擔心你的。
媽媽：回來的時候打電話給我們。
（放過我了，放過我了）
我：我會的，我6號離開英國之前會打電話給你們，15號回來后再打電話給你們報平安。
爸爸還是在那裏碎碎念…………

重點報告完畢之后，繼續再報告我的旅遊大計-
西班牙的農曆新年之旅，4個女生，他們當然沒有意見
愛丁堡的跨年之旅，2個女生，他們當然也沒有任何意見

他們應該非常諒解我在這裡努力念書，3個月以來只有兩天離開過這個城市，天天只在學校、宿舍和市區買菜來回走動的可憐...所以並沒有反對我去玩，只是非常反對我一個人去玩...現在還一直聽到爸爸口中的笨蛋！

如果他聼我的話，照顧自己的健康和戒煙，我就聼他的話咯！
我的固執應該是跟他學的！哈哈！

媽媽：你一個人吃飯？(好像很可憐我）
我：是啦，我跟那個朋友不同時間上課，只是偶爾周末一直煮。我很會煮飯了，回去可以煮飯給你們吃，哈哈！
媽媽：從不會煮飯到會煮飯了啊？爸爸說他才不要吃你煮的飯。
我：當然啦，他只要吃你做的飯！哈哈！還有，我本來就會煮，只是沒有機會煮而已。

媽媽再問：這樣不是很寂寞？
疑惑的我：哪裏會？不會啦！我每天很忙，很多功課，而且我每天都有跟他聯係……


這次打電話回家，還有發現一些重點！
我家報紙又換囘光華日報了，而且現在看報紙是他倆最大的樂趣，尤其是我媽！
因爲她天天注意哪些報道的記者是 “XX玲”
我還沒來得及說什麽，她就滔滔不絕……
她那天採訪家好月圓的管家仔-林峰,她的朋友還趁機近距離看林峰，
還有誰誰誰……

最重要的是那句，你聼好：
我們不反對她了，非常支持她！只是薪水那麽少，工作時間那麽長……

你就繼續當光華的記者好了，他們很開心 ^呵呵^


還有一些生活的小細節，我就不說了！

看來他們來參加畢業典禮的機會很渺茫，倒是好像很希望妹妹可以來英國一趟,代表他們出席嗎？可是7月，她可能要開學了，不知道呢,等她考完試再説吧！

Little Update on Sweden's trip

2 photos taken today around 4.30pm from Ellison building 5th floor.

Haiz,i cant sleep at this time at 1.16am T_T I was hungry.. Tonight, I just get digestive biscuits as my dinner, I'm kinda running out of fresh fruits & vege, kinda lazy to step out of campus to market, kinda lazy to cook tonight...As a consequence, physically lay on the bed for one hour before deciding to take a few bites of biscuits, though I'm actually craving for instant noodles ><

^^Little update on Sweden trip^^

Successfully booked sweden's train tickets, erm, not really, I was trying to use my hongleong credit card to book, I couldnt provide those information needed (eg. billing date), but i still received receipt and order number. Maybe my dad will receive the call to confirm the purchase. whatever it is, just allow me to board with my order number and receipt.

My initial plan was visiting Stockholm, umea, malmo, copenhagen and gotherburg (to pay a bloody helpful netfriend who provides me lots of information, tips and accomodation at her place). The problem is -- Sweden is so 'huge' that travelling time can easily consume 12hrs from city to city, cause I wanna get cheaper night trains and thus save my accomodation =x

2days ago, I was told 25sek tix (usual price can be 200-400sek) promotion for age under 25. BUT, fortunately i havent booked my tix... Today, she found out that the promo is only for those with SJ(train company)'s membership which I'm not eligible to apply for. While she has found out, she applied one, and it is FOC, for residents of Sweden =.=

Wasting my effort to search the good deals for 2 nights. Anyway, I still get a not-too-bad deal as a tourist, 458sek (though SJ holder can be as cheap as 50sek), for 2 trips. I have too little time in Sweden, so I drop the idea of visiting Malmo & Copenhagen T_T I have FULL 8 days to explore around. 3 cities, kinda just nice loh. 6jan reach Stockholm at 9.15pm, reach the downtown should be 11plus ald...15jan fly from Gotherburg at 12noon.

UMEA, located nicely at the central of Sweden, which preserves the higher probablity to see thick snow than Stockholm and southern cities, which I have been wanting to see!! And this is the main purpose of my trip!! The best still if I can see Aorora, northern light!! I wish, I wish... I hope I can endure -9degC there...

NET>Thanks for sending the photos... but then i lazy to upload liao..anyway SP students should know how our sensory labs look like, SP Lab is the best :p


周公找我，周公约我．．．

Airasia starts flying to LONDON

AirAsia starts flying to LONDON nonstop from next Mar. Tickets are on-sale now. It was first noticed by him, 2ways only RM1500 (very cheap, normally British Airway costs nearly SGD2000 2 ways; my tix SG-Newcastle costs me SGD1800,why am I spending so much T_T)and he was almost going to book it last night. But, I was in lesson that time...

After I took a look,i can even find RM1390 for 2ways in some dates. Then, we discussed tonight after his work. The price has risen to RM2007/2ways. I thought it could drop in the midnight due to lower traffic flow (which my friend had successfully booked cheaper tix in midnight).. But the price seems never lowered down again...

Alright, I will keep a close look for the prices. Anyway, it is really another cheaper alternative to come LONDON and EUROPE!

But but.. Chanbrothers.com does give good offer sometimes. Chanbrothers.com and airasia.com are our targets :p

Nie's pasta soup

First trial making this...

Chicken bone soup based + rojak vege + meatball...haha...

Cause i miss SP FC2 Macoroni soup...

I know it doesnt look like the one at all...

its NIE's version... haha.. anyway i like it :x

p/s: today we studied carcinogenesis. Before lecturer started the lesson, she mentioned: I know this is not a pleasant chapter, it affects many people. If you feel not comfortable, feel free to walk out and come back when we are done. However, the lesson ran quite smoothly, I enjoy this lecture very much, due to the charming personality of this young lady, who i first met her today.

Anyway, BBQ does cause cancer, its the charcoal... Reduce it :)

Finally today handed in Estrogen Assignment, this assignment has raised a considerable discussion among lecturers too, due to EXCESSIVE COMPLAINS about this super tough assignment.

A student asked: did u see the question?

Young lady lecturer: (shake head）i didnt give any comment, but looking at my expression, u know wat i think.

OMG, even this carcinogenesis-taught lecturer shakes her head for our estrogen assignment. i dunno how much am i going to score for this 30% of my overall year long module. God Bless.

My younger sister, ting is having her STPM, struggling for it too. This ben ben mei mei, hope she will stay fine till 3dec. Wish her good luck.

苦澀黑咖啡

趕報告時最需要的是一杯咖啡提神
可是我四點以後就不可以飲用咖啡
否則失眠是必然的

那天只睡了四個小時
早上起來昏昏沉沉
可是總得把報告趕完
所以在圖書館1樓
投進75p，約馬幣5塊
買了第一杯在英國的咖啡
是不加糖不加奶的黑咖啡
淡淡的　真的難喝
可是還是咕嚕咕嚕喝掉了
雖然還是昏昏沉沉到中午
沒必要　可不會再買咖啡了
把錢省起來去旅行時喝一杯異地的咖啡

昨天在圖書館４樓的安靜區　
跟香港同學一起趕另一份作業
他也買了同樣的咖啡
入口即吐　直罵難喝死了

我用那不咸不淡的廣東話小小聲說：
‘抱歉，忘了告訴你那天我也買了這杯超難喝的黑咖啡’
每次都擺着一張酷酷的臉，跟我弟同歲的他，說：
‘原來你也喝黑咖啡？很少人愛喝’
然後在安靜區小聲地聊幾句咖啡話題
本來就跟他沒什麽交情
因爲那張很吊的臉和
我（們-幾位宿舍朋友見過他）認爲有attitute problem的性格

我只是單純地愛喝苦澀的咖啡
不加糖不加奶的Americano
偶爾還是喝starbuck的奶咖啡
那杯越南高原上的煉奶咖啡也超想念

突然想起咖啡
一種我本來就很少喝的飲料
只是那位香港同學突然提起
讓我思考了一下下

我愛苦澀黑咖啡
因爲品嘗最原始的味道
即使苦苦的 還是滿足

或許跟我的人生觀相若
希望品嘗最原始的美好
保留最單純的享受

以上幾句絕對不是跟他說的
還沒跟他那麽好談

Nostalgic

I must blog. This girl is really making me nostalgically miss her and our times...

I love salmon

Though stress for assignment, but i still manage to use 45min to prepare and eat a well-balanced and FAVOURITE meal for myself :p

I SIMPLY LOVE SALMON...

Finished my salmon, no more until next reasonable reward :p

0度的冬天

零度的天空下
有個我躲在房裏
默默地趕著功課

暖氣已是極限
卻好像不夠火力
窗縫只剩1哩米
還是感覺寒冷

搞得我懶懶地
圖書館的5分鐘路程
會因爲冬天的寒風刺骨
如5個小時般長遠

無論如何
努力衝刺到最後~

已經開始把保暖的衛生衣穿上
或許我還需要一件更保溫的大衣
請時間和金錢允許
願明年之前給自己添上一件吧！
總不能只靠姐姐那件不能支撐0度以下的寒衣 :p

1月的冬季瑞典之行
一件好的寒衣
才能更好地加強禦寒措施
其實還需要添購其他防寒裝備

Done inv. bio + First snow!

Few things to note:

1. just sleep 4-5hrs on 19 and 20 Nov to rush my investigative biology out...I'm damn satisfied for the hard work that i have put in, give myself 90%, for my hard work, never work so hard before :p

2. taken my first coffee here, its from vending machine, a very light one.

3. Handed in our group inv.bio assignment on Friday, though it dues on Monday. Cz Tuesday dues another assignment-estrogen signaling, im really going to die for it. These few days, full power will switch on for it. One of my classmate told us: this assignment is the PhD level's assignment, as told by her PhD friend. Because this issue has actually been discussing, and it still has not come to consensus, while we, degree students have to judge ourselves... I joke: I supposed we have PhD knowledge after doing this assignment...

figure1: our group assignment :p


4. I have time to be my friend's panelist, I miss sensory evaluation. I saved a lunch for sensory evaluation on sausages, muesli, coffee and bread :p Personally, SP's sensory lab is much more better!!!

figure 2: 3 of my groupmates. Doing sensory evaluation for fiona (in lab coat), while we are panelists of her muesli. This mini sensory lab has only 3 compartments and it is very different from what we knew from Jasmine leong, a perfect sensory booth. Without a 'cover' in front of u, it is very easily sidetrack by what the student is doing.

NET: DO YOU HAVE OUR SENSORY BOOTH PHOTOS?

5. I booked my air ticket to sweden last min of ryanair.com £0.01 promotion. After adding all cost, i paid £16 for return ticket to sweden :p ( 6-15jan) ( glasgow-stockholm, gotherburg-glasgow)

6. I experienced my first snow in the life!! It actually snowed at 8am, when i just woke up to do my assignment. it is a very short and mild one, so I thought it just kinda rain... and it snowed again at 930pm last night, and we confirmed that its snow! Put my hands out, the snow melts when it touches hands. Definately it wont accumulate since its so mild and short :p but we are really into winter...

UPDATED SNOW VIDEO

7. I grilled salmon for my dinner last night, to reward myself working so hard for inv. bio :p I realised Morrison sells salmon cheaper than chicken breast meat. More reason for me to take salmon :p

few newcastle winter's photos..

Talking to myself...U can skip this.

JUST TALKING to MYSELF:

370words written upon 2000words, considerably good progress. Im quite happy for the completion of introduction and genomic model, a little on non genomic model.

my brain is saturated, cant work further. Tomorrow morning I shall come to library too,continuously embrace library until i clear all assignments! theoretically, i should be in library for all times other than sleeping, attending lesson, and cooking&eating meals and washing&bathing.

Quite interesting to read the estrogen as i go further...Excuses to request more time only..haha..

Erm, tomorrow shall work on inv.bio i.e. evaluate the 3 studies on fibre and heart disease, first, to be compiled on thursday with groupmates. As I read more articles, I supposed I have better judgement to evaluate the quality of the studies related to the outcomes.

Hmm, i hate ryanair.com for further reducing the price to FREE SEATS! Lucky that the barcelona has increased the price. Free seats seems tailored to my central europe plan, but I want sun in Sicily, South ITALY... HOW HOW HOW? Im not sure if i can withstand the winter backpacking alone, plus the limited sunshine in this season..headache sia.. no wonder my brain saturated.. haha

This blog acts like my listeners..those read further..im sorry..haha... Just crap at this moment,to release some stress...... I mean there is still people listening to me personally, but I seems becoming more and more introvert. HAHA!

Ok, wanna go back to hostel, take a bath, take a good sleep and tomorrow morning wake up earlier to do inv.bio before bioethnics at 3pm...

Sometimes, addicted to read journals, not too difficult one.

Increase your antioxidant-rich fruits and vege to prevent cancer!

I'm mad on reading the estrogen signaling assignments, however, i discovered this is really a good way to deliver knowledge academically. It is really different from what I have been doing in Poly where most of the time are so called "study deadly" by all those spoon feeding lectures, though there are assignments, but reading academic journals are really different. Here, you are required to cite the reference professionally and no sloppy websites allowed, very densely based on updated journals. Anyway, Poly doesnt subcribe the expensive NORA (journals search engine)...

For eg, a rapid signalling pathway has recently been discussed where u cant find the information in the textbooks. Bioethics topic that I chose-Nutrigenomics could be impossibly found in textbook as well cause it is a newly found technology/method since a decade ago. You are learning up-to-date knowledge.

But, the downside for students is ... it is really challenging.. Im hardly enjoying it... though i try to...

Btw, today molecular pathophysiolgy was about free radical, i find it more interesting and i can understand easier compared with his last few lessons on bored signalling pathways. Perhaps this is more lively and related directly to our bodies. Free radical can link you to cancer, aging, antioxidants? I supposed these are words appeared in your minds and you are absolutely right.

To your interest, eating vit C and vit E containing high antioxidant properties which reduce the possibility of oxidating the unpair electrons in your cells, and thus prevent the cancer. However, cancer is a multifactorial complex disease, could be your lifestyle that leads to the consequences. Since diet can affect your body greatly, and you are able to choose what is going into your body, why not taking a preventive action that you could? I sincerely appreciate the power of foods, and the longer healthier life you have, the better quality and enjoyable life you have, together with you love ones!

Start increasing the amount of vegetables and fruits that could better regulate your body, in many ways, while the fruits and vege below shows the amount of antioxidant properties, the higher the value, the higher the antioxidant properties! * I supposed the fresh forms perform better, however, in our life, we hard to get it fresh for most of them... But I eat lots of kiwi, orange here. Why blackberry is not in the list, i just bought 2 boxes of blackberry and 2 boxes of strawberry, 4boxes cost me £2, it is quite cheap :p

My final year project has changed the topic to investigate the effect of temporal migration on dietary habits, in this case, im based on chinese students in UK. Personally, i have increased the amount of fruits and vegetables I consumed as i control all my meals consumption by cooking myself :p

I eat lots of orange, red grapes, kiwi, red peppers and onions here! I shall increase strawberries,rarpsberries and brocolli, which I could get all in fresh at reasonable price!!heez

Blogging clears my mind... I shall back to my TOUGH TOUGH TOUGH assignments T_T

Estrogen signalling ??!

Steroid hormones are traditi0nally known to bind with nuclear receptor, to activate transcription factor. Estrogen is one of the steroid hormones that binds with homodimers. Genomic signalling pathway of estrogen has to be discussed... and collect the evidences to support the type2 signalling pathways which is faster in inducing the target responses...

I dun like this assignment, i dun understand... T_T

countdown 7days to hand in this assignment, god bless!

p/s: 26jan-2feb is confirmed to fly to Barcelona & Madrid (SPAIN) with crab, suchew and cyan..Book 4ways ticket < £50, considerably cheap as we caught Ryanair.com £1 promotion, of cos we needs to pay some HIDDEN fee (airport check in, check in luggage fee and visa debit handling fee), but still quite cheap. We celebrate our chinese new year in Spain, 25jan we shall have a reunion dinner and early morning in Chuyi we will fly to spain, and return on 2feb morning, just nice to have lesson, but should be a tiring monday,first day of 2nd semester! 26feb-29feb will be in Madrid, reminds you 馬德里不思議 from Jolin?? Anyway, through our research, Madrid is a disappointing tourist spot, especially after Barcelona, perhaps its good to go Madrid first, then Barcelona, to have an upgrade city feel :p

喜事！

Its 1.33am here, just managed to book tix to barcelona during CNY! Well, I haven finished my bioethics poster but will continue tml morning...

Just i cant wait to share a good news, that I just received one sec before I decided to shut down my computer!!! I must share this good news! Angela sent Christine's wedding photos to me.. She looks gorgeous and live happily ever after with Voon!

真的感動，他和她終于結婚了。　來英國之前，送了一份小禮給他們作爲新婚禮物（雖然那時他們不在新加坡），那時聽她妹説她有婚前的壓力，而且瘦不了！haha! 他們那時才剛拍結婚照，我都還沒看到！真的好想去越南和ＫＬ參加他們的婚禮！有少少的激動！

新娘真的都是美麗的，因爲那是幸福的寫照！

照片是１１１１０８在越南拍的，２３１１０８將在ＫＬ！

在此祝 Christine Kao & Voon 新婚愉快、早生貴子、百年好合、白頭偕老...

要幸福哦！

Nutrigenomics- should your diet be tailored to your genes?

Still in the process of completion T_T and I dont know if im in the right track...
though it is only draft, will be posted to blackboard and evaluated by peers, and finalise it in 2 weeks but I still hope it would be similar to my final poster so they could critically evaluate it.

My first assignment dateline is tomorrow and I'm still editing it in library now,near 11pm! This bioethics poster is driving me nuts as I dunno the right way to present it and nutrigenomics is at the infancy research level, for about a decade. But I like the topic I chose- imaginable if your diet and nutrition is personalised by your gene in the future? Take a genetic testing by a nutrigenomics company, based on your potential risk of disease expressed by your genes, match to dietary program or tailor a diet and you lower your risk to certain disease,extent years of life. Dont doubt, it could happen in coming 20 years.

But have you ever thought that your genetic informations could be used by insurance to tailor your premiums too? High risk -> high value of premiums.
Choose your embryo by genetic information?
Goverment shifts the health responsibility to individuals?
and blah blah blah




UPDATED 17NOV.
Draft poster to be posted up to blackboard..
Sure lots of amendment.. Interesting to do if give me plenty of time.haha

明天會更好

這幾天的心情起伏很大
是某些事情
是繁重課業
是灰色的冬天

罵粗話真的很粗魯
只是那句“媽的”是：
罵我來回圖書館幾次
罵我的壓力大
罵我的腦袋笨
就是自己的問題

心情與
昨夜較溫和的天氣做好朋友
開始覺得
宿舍的生活有時候還不賴

姐點醒我了
我在這裡的日子不多了
感覺日子一天比一天溜得更快
該好好珍惜

最近嘗試換個想法
從別的角度看世界
希望是個好的轉變
相信 明天會更好

Winter blues!

googled　"depressed in winter", i'm not suprised with following statement:

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and winter blues
Animals react to the changing seasons with changes in mood, metabolism and behaviour and human beings are just the same. Many people find they eat and sleep slightly more in winter and dislike the dark mornings and short days and this is commonly referred to as 'winter blues'. For some, however, symptoms are severe enough to disrupt their lives and to cause considerable distress. These people are suffering from SAD.

How does SAD affect people?
Symptoms tend to start from around September each year lasting until April, but are at their worst in the darkest months. Symptoms include:
Sleep problems - oversleeping but not refreshed, cannot get out of bed, needing a nap in the afternoon
Overeating - carbohydrate craving leading to weight gain
Depression, despair, misery, guilt, anxiety - normal tasks become frustratingly difficult
Family / social problems - avoiding company, irritability, loss of libido, loss of feeling
Lethargy - too tired to cope, everything an effort
Physical symptoms - often joint pain or stomach problems, lowered resistance to infection
Behavioural problems - especially in young people

I'm facing problems: sleep late, but not too much (6-8hrs), OVEREATING, lethargy and depression!!!

What causes it?
The problem stems from the lack of bright light in winter. Researchers have proved that bright light makes a difference to the brain chemistry but why some people suffer and others don't is not clear.
Nerve centres in our brain controlling our daily rhythms and moods are stimulated by the amount of light entering the eyes. As night falls, the pineal gland starts to produce a substance called melatonin that tells our body clock it's night time; bright light at daybreak is the signal for the gland to stop producing this melatonin. But on dull winter days, especially indoors, not enough light is received to trigger this waking up process.Light is also linked to serotonin (also known as or 5HT), a neurotransmitter in the brain. This makes sense because low serotonin levels can cause depression and if you're depressed it can be difficult to concentrate and complete what would normally be simple tasks. Evidence has shown that serotonin levels increase with exposure to bright light - SSRI drugs such as Prozac have the same effect.

What treatment is there?
As the cause is lack of bright light, the treatment is to be in bright light every day. Going to a brightly-lit climate, whether that's skiing or somewhere hot, will relieve symptoms but if that's not possible you can use a bright light. The preferred level of light is about as bright as a spring morning on a clear day and for most people sitting in front of a light like this for around 30 minutes a day will be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms. You don't have to stare at the light, so you can watch TV or read or similar, just make sure that light reaches your eyes.
The light must be suitably bright. You need at least 2500lux (lux is the technical measure of brightness) which is roughly five times brighter than a well-lit office. Brighter 10,000lux lights take less time to use and allow you to sit further away. Simply using 'daylight' or 'full spectrum' lights at home will not work as they're not bright enough.


After reading this, I have the answers for following questions:
1. In Krabi, Thailand and other parts of the South East Asia countries, Dec/end of the year is the peak of tourist spots as the beaches are loaded and prices are boomed by angmohs! If I were one of them, definately I want to escape from dull winter!!!

2. Why westerners love sun so much! I love sun more too!!!!

3. My lecturer told me: Penang, esp Batu Ferringi is paradise, better than Newcastle (then give me a dissappointed look after Newcastle)

4. We come from summer-year-long countries, will suffer more and tend to eat more, not to compensate the chill weather but in depression!


I wanna concentrate doing my works T_T

又是迷惘!?

第...不知道第几个了

又...听到迷惘两个字

是阴阴的天气

而黑夜总是长过白天

也是所在的英系国家

心灵仍在适应期

毫无生气 精神压抑

多数人狂吃减压

我想像我的邻居

压抑迷惘得不想吃东西

我只有少许精神压抑

目标依然明确得很

=号外 号外=

我的跨年将在爱丁堡渡过

全英国最盛大的跨年派对我来了

苏格兰 我来了

超级期待中

I can see the sun with love

883 sent this song right into my heart at the right time!
I love this song!



恐懼在黑暗之中蔓延　因為我們看不見
淚水從失去之中湧現　因為心已有殘缺
我一直認真的去學　 學如何用愛去解　心裡的結

希望在陽光之中發現 因為我們看的見
笑容從感謝之中呈現　因為心被愛充填
我一直期待著明天　總會在黑夜的終點　出現在窗前

I can see the sun.　I can see the sun with love.
我祈禱每一個今天　都有一個夢想實現
I can see the sun.　I can see the sun with love.
愛讓我的心裡面　出現了晴天

如果渴望的幸福仍然不明顯　我會帶著微笑繼續走向前
I can see the sun.　I can see the sun with love.
我祈禱在每一天　都有一個夢想實現
I can see the sun.　I can see the sun with love.
愛讓我的心裡面　出現了晴天

躲在冬天的囚牢里

相信我

阳光是上帝赐给世人最好的礼物

无人可否认

阳光象征希望和活力

蕴藏着正面的力量

我想念

赤道国家一天十二个小时的阳光

秋天 冬天

童话般的神秘

戏剧般的浪漫

让赤道的孩子们向往

现实中

是个灰灰的季节

让人蓝蓝 精神压抑

这个季节里

微弱的阳光支撑着整个冬天

太阳累得越来越早下班

刚处理好琐碎事情

黑幕已渐渐拉下

四点后 请说 晚安

我是阳光的孩子

躲在冬天的囚牢里

Engaged Idealists

Engaged Idealists are extroverted and helpful. Others find them to be very congenial and inspiring - especially as they are always willing to see the best in the other person. Their humour, their energy and their optimism attract other people.

Engaged Idealists are very good at communicating and are good at convincing and firing on others. That is why it is a matter of course that they often take over the leading role in groups. This personality type often produces very charismatic persons.

Engaged Idealists have an unusually strong ability to empathise. They are tolerant and generous towards others; they sometimes tend to idealise their friends. They always try to suit everybody and want their relationships to be harmonious and satisfactory. To achieve this, they are prepared to invest a great deal and to put their requirements last.

As Engaged Idealists are very considerate, there is the danger of them sacrificing and overexerting themselves for others. In their job, they therefore have to be very careful not to develop a burnout syndrome.

Engaged Idealists are reliable, well organised and love structuring complicated situations. They have difficulty accepting criticism; they quickly feel hurt and misunderstood.

Their perfectionism also influences their love life - they look for the perfect relationship for life. Once they have made their decision, they are faithful, well-balanced and loving partners. However, should they get involved with the wrong person, it can happen that they allow themselves to be exploited for a long time before they end the relationship.

Adjectives which describe your type
extroverted, theoretical, emotional, planning, idealistic, committed, likable, enthusiastic, responsible, helpful, loyal, diplomatic, friendly, inspiring, caring, solicitous, optimistic, effusive, adaptable, communicative, articulate, convincing, energetic, optimistic, open, vulnerable

These subjects could interest you
art, psychology, politics, honorary work, environmental protection, nature, travel

Leo: Your work load has been pilling up recently, but dont worry. you'll soon be rewarded for all your effort making everything seem worthwhile.
Lucky day:27th

I know works are getting heavier and datelines are due soon..
Why we dun read journals in Poly?
I dun remember I keep mugging a journal or a similar topic of journals...

27th, is just a day after 3 assignments due.
What will happen on lucky day?
Completed the following 5 assignments/reports/presentation?

Magnum Mini

Anyone fancy Magnum Ice cream??

While I worked as temp staff in NHGP before I came here, I have been fancy towards the advertisement on MAGNUM, I think the advertisement still in the street, TV and etc... "Im EVA, I cant resist.."

If Im not wrong, it costs about SGD4 for one? Kinda expensive right? So I have never tried...

Its european ice cream, I saw the 6 mini one a month ago, about £1plus (was half price), so i bought it... Tasted the almond one, its really nice... Haha...It makes my stressing day more enjoyable..haha..

Just to share... Its really nice :p

I think nutritionist needs to enjoy her favourite foods once a while too..remember MODERATION in food intake will do :x

Just crap..

Light went off since last night so I did my work last night (mainly blogging.haha) and this morning to complete my critical evaluation of the barly,soluble fibre and cardiovascular disease journal with little sunlight...

After reporting 2times this afternoon, I get my light back! and it is brighter and kinda "whiter" light as all lightings are yellowish in the hall of residences. So crab kinda has green eyes on my light, perhaps she can try to spoil the light and ask them to fix it :x

After attending the clinical dietetics and nutrition tonight (4-7pm which is DARK), I like this lecturer so much, Geff. He is funny and good in making the lesson lively.. Esp when he mentioned about neonate, where the new born baby is having high levels of enzymes upon delivery... The way he described the fantasy of giving birth was kinda interesting.. Baby is being compressed in the uterus and suddenly baby feels the different pressure...blah blah blah...

Food policy is dry. European Union, Commission and the Common Agricultural Policy... I'm not kinda interested on this region..haha..

I only have 10 hours lesson/week, and most of the time is catered for assignments. As the datelines getting nearer I feel I need more times. Fiona (lecturer) was asking if we wanna back to week 3 (week6 now), everyone agreed! haha..seems we just need more time!!!

Why am I so free to blog here, even though i haven prepared my fyp draft questions to be incorporated into questionnaires to be shown to supervisor?? Simply becase of GASTRIC.. Thursday is a long day for me, all the way from 1-7pm... I simply cant have my meal too late and left empty for too long.. Alright, i will get an apple with me next time...

I think im getting better after my typical gastric-tackle way -> putting a pillow below my stomach, it always works. Give me a pillow and bed whenever Im gastic...hohoho...

I'm quite happy for the lighting.. and kinda adapted to the life here, I love the weather where its air-con everyday in the room, but not chilling temp outside... Despite the weather making my face skin problem worsen, im quite happy with the weather....... There are always pros and cons, give me some chance to exercise (need to get £100plus membership to enjoy the sports and gym facility, more reason for me to miss SP) , give me a beautician, a better sleep quality and .... I think im satisfied. hahaa...

Enough of crapping.. Times to think of what to discuss with supervisor regarding my progress of FYP!!! Time is really flying... Its project day again!

Xmas is coming, anyone fancy anything?? I simply need more times, a beautician, a return airticket..hahaa.... ok, I havent thought of any realistic gift, I know travelling always comes first. haha.. not yet planned anything.. though its getting nearer.. Time s up!! FYP FYP... estrogen estrogen.. fibre-disease fibre-disease... poster poster..

sot sot liao... hahahaah

Fireworks in Newcastle!

Today (5 Nov) is annual fireworks festival,I think it is around the country as I saw Morrison selling the firework sticks. It just like our lantern festival, seeing and hearing fireworks everywhere, on hands (view first video) or in the sky! Quote my neighbour's msn nick: just like chinese new year :P I have an advance CNY fireworks show?!

After official fireworks launch last for 20min @ city stadium @ 630pm (its dark after 430pm and getting earlier to 3pm in winter!),we walked to Morrison to get our groceries, along the journey, little fireworks still observed until we came out of Morrison, even until now, still hear the sparkling fireworks!

Personally, the fireworks is not the best one i have seen (none of fireworks can beat the 2006 Commonwealth Closing ceremony @ Melbourne) ,but i love one of the xmas-tree-like fireworks..

I tried to upload the videos,but so slow..update it tml or anytime later :p

Good night to me, good morning to MY & SG!

*getting stress for works as datelines are reaching soon,wth is the estrogen signaling pathway and the nongenomic pathways,seems none of my classmates understand the journals >< 2000words?!!! 2x2000words + 1xbioethic poster due in 24nov! and more on following weeks!!

Realising one sem is going too fast..haha..half sem gone :x

Stupid bus service and expensive transport

Yesterday (2 Nov) was planning to go Angel of the North by taking bus 21/22 from Eldon Square terminal. Stupidly, the board indicates NO SERVICE on SUNDAY, and for some of the buses too.

We were so fed up but decided to walk around since we were in town. Sunday is really quiet in the town, most shops only open from 12pm-4pm. A typical family day? Passing by ChinaTown and grab little thing, plus finding job, if any vacancies available. Kinda fruitless day despite we found the train station, and spent £24 on 16-26railcard for validity of a year.

Yes, travelling in UK and europe under 26 is always more affordable, but the transport still considerably very expensive.. The earlier you book the ticket, the cheaper. And even different timing costs you differently. Just like checking stock over internet, prices can be flipping.

The most stupid thing is... at 1.40pm, I saw 21 in Grainger street, asking: Is that 21 bus that going to Angel of the North?

Taking few steps forward to verify my doubts, it was bus 21 but it is available in that street on SUNDAY!

UK bus service is stupid, i mean compare with singapore ones. They did not mention in Eldon Square Terminal that there is no service on sunday at that particular end point only... Wasted my whole day loitering on the streets...

So, we gotta plan the trip on coming weekend or any other possible days for 2 of us.

Singapore transport still clear and easy.

Apart from this, they don't mention the price but each timing is indicated, i wonder if the bus does come on time, given plus minus of 10mins? Alright, I haven't taken any public bus so far.. I'm really typical book worm here?

Alright, transport here is really expensive... can cost up to £100 for a return trip to London.. Crazy... but sometimes you can get really cheap price @ few pounds for single way to London.. Plan early buy early and you enjoy the early bird's privilage :p

Planning to go London on Christmas, £60 for 2N,2breakfast, and a full christmas lunch..This has not included train ticket which has kept going up... I think £100 is inevitable for this trip. We still plan to spend our New Year in Edinburgh.. Train ticket is alright but the accomodation has boomed, 16 person dorm needs £50/night when usual price is only £7.50. Reason? Cause it has the most happening New Year Party in UK! and Im fancy for it :p

Easily cost me £200 for both trips ><

英国也有“天涯海角”

一直以为“天涯海角”这个地名是我国的“专利”,谁知道在英格兰的西南角有一个名叫兰兹角的地方,直译过来是“陆地的尽头”,当地的中文旅游手册则称其为“天涯海角”。

兰兹角位于康沃尔半岛的顶端,是一处三面环海的地方。要到达这里可真要费上一番周折。首先需要从伦敦乘坐3个多小时的火车到达英国铁路的最南端,然后搭乘公共汽车穿行于一个个牧场之间,最后再下车步行到达海边的峭壁。在这里,可以找到标志兰兹角的一块白色木牌,这就是英国的土地尽头了。

其实,作为一个岛国,岛屿的所有边缘都是土地的尽头,为什么英国人定义自己的“天涯海角”偏要选择西南的这个角落呢？仔细观察之后,记者发现英国人对“天涯海角”的理解,和来自大陆国家的人很不相同。

中国人提到天涯海角,想到的是旅行者能到达的最远的终点。
而对英国人来讲,天涯海角却是船只远航的出发点。

英国的南部海岸有许多历史悠久的港口,也是英国历史上最发达的地区。其中西南港口最为出名,因为从那里无论航行到欧洲大陆或是美国都比较近。要去兰兹角,需要先到港口城市普利茅斯。不过,老的普利茅斯市在二战中几乎被德军的炮火全部毁掉,今天人们看到的这座城市则是在战后重新建设起来的。由于重建时的原则是“快速和省钱”,所以市容很一般。但是面对大海的一侧却十分壮观,可以看到军舰走着“之”字出海。据说这是因为当地的海底暗礁密布,曲折而行是保证安全出海的唯一路线。实际上,在1588年,一艘艘英国战舰也是从这个地方出发,去迎击西班牙的“无敌舰队”,并且最终树立了英国“海上霸主”的地位。1620年,一艘名叫“五月花”号的帆船也是从普利茅斯起航,载着102名英国清教徒历尽苦难,驶向美洲大陆。这群清教徒成了美国最早的外来移民之一。在今天的美国波士顿附近,还有一个地方叫普利茅斯,就是为了纪念当年清教徒的出发地而命名的。

普利茅斯距离兰兹角慢车只有一个来小时的路程,从地图上看几乎就是沿着大海的边缘在走,铁路两边目力所及之处是一眼望不到边的田野、草地,成群的牛羊和孤零零的乡野别墅。《蝴蝶梦》的故事就发生在康沃尔郡,如今坐拥豪宅的英国人已经很少,而把富余的房间出租给游客过夜的家庭旅馆则到处都是。

在距兰兹角最近的小镇彭赞斯,通往兰兹角的最后一条街道几乎全是家庭旅馆。即使深夜,所有房子的门厅也都亮着灯,主人热情而愉快,完全没有传统英国人的冷淡气息。清早沿着曲折的夹道直奔海边,就能找到兰兹角的白色木牌,上面写着：“距离纽约3147英里。”几乎所有到此一游的人看后都会明白,这里并不是一个正式的港口,但是由于处于英格兰西南角的特殊位置,才会承载远航出发点的象征意义。

兰兹角是以一个相当尖锐的角度插入大海的。三面的白色陡崖屹立在蔚蓝的海中,放眼看去,在海天一色的地方隐约有法国岛屿的影子。即使是大晴天,这里也是风急浪涌、惊涛拍岸,很是壮观。站在兰兹角上远望,想象着当年“五月花”号上的清教徒为了自由和理想不畏艰险的勇气,我的心中也油然升起一种志在远航的豪情。

人生中的第一个双彩虹！

2008年的10月31日真的好难忘！

原来昨天看到的是传说中的double rainbow,双彩虹！

我人生中第一次的双彩虹，却被我忽略了！请注意以下照片．．．

为什么会有双彩虹？

“彩虹的形成是由于空气中的小水滴把阳光经过折射形成的。 当光经一次折射和一次反射后形成的是一个正彩虹。有时，光会形成两次折射和一次反射后也会形成彩虹，不过这个彩虹是反的。 在特殊情况下，也会两种彩虹同时出现，这就是双彩虹。空气中的小水珠把彩虹再反射一遍，第二条彩虹比第一条要淡很多，并且是第一条的倒象。正像称之为虹，倒像称之为霓，也叫副虹。”

“Every once in a while, if you get lucky, you may see a second rainbow on the outside of the first, brighter rainbow. This is the "secondary rainbow" which occurs when raindrops high in the atmosphere refract and reflect light back to the viewer.
These raindrops are higher than those which cause the "primary rainbow" and are special because they internally reflect the incoming sunlight twice rather than just once. ”

看到吗？

彩虹就是那么美丽，却那么短暂...

双彩虹更是让人更着迷！

下一次的双彩虹会在什么时候出现在我面前？

或许一次就足够了，让人回味无穷！

31 October 2008!

Last day of October, was a fun and memorable day for me.

Though we didnt manage to get a touch of Pumpkin carving @ Baltic near Gateshead millenium brigde in the noon as planned, but we saw kids carving and start getting some Halloween atmosphere. I heard from my hk classmate who has been staying here for 2o years, that in the night of halloween, youngsters will wear fancy dresses and dropp by houses to knock the door for sweets. If you dun have sweets, they will keep disturbing or scaring you. Since we dun stay in the private houses, we never experience it!

Then headed to Tesco and I found this "I Love You Champagne" from Marmite, it is limited edition, £3, I think it is only available in UK, but I didnt buy cause it is quite a large volume, if i finished mine and it is still available on shelf, maybe I will spend my penny there. haha.

We headed home, suprisingly, we experienced our first frozen rain and a beautiful rainbow across the city, my first rainbow in UK! We stopped by in the tunnel for the rain to stop in about 15min. We were so excited that left things around the tunnel and all busy in capturing the special moment...























London has the first winter snow in last few days but we haven't! I'm looking forward to my first snow here!

After frozen rain, it turns even cooler...



My favourite bagattue.. in the witness of my first frozen rain :p





















Night was happening in REDS bar in Student Union, £3 before 11pm, £4 after 11pm and first 500 with fancy dresses are granted for free admission. We arrived earlier around 930pm, but without paying :p

Other friends arrived at 10pm and the happening night was started...

Halloween is an event for boosting your creativity juice. Lots of fancy dresses such as sexy nurses, doctors, batman, the crown in the batman, pumpkin shirts... LOADS of it.. but I dun have much photos now, let me grab from friends first...

After dancing, i sweat a little and it is a good exercise for me. I slept relatively good last night as compared to previous night.






Artwork of friends of designers!





















We left around 1230am while the crowd was just getting bigger... The night is still young!

More photos with friends!















p/s: i think it looks weird in your pc, just ignore the alignment...haha..
