头痛。
很头痛。
小时候兄弟姐妹中
身子最弱的就是我
头痛肚子痛全身痛
都关我的事
头痛的病率最高
自从到新加坡以后
身子却奇妙的越来越好
是因为离开在工业区的住家
还是因为二手烟吸少了
还是生活习惯和饮食改善了
好像大部分为了ＭＣ才去看医生的
不然就是很严重的感冒、伤口等
离开家里越远
身子反而越好
在英国连我最讨厌的感冒问题都没了
但是这两天头痛却找上我
可是跟它说 久违了
真的很久很久没有头痛了
这次是压力过度？睡眠不足？
还是身体起警号了？
希望过了今天就好
还有一堆功课
这个学期真的很难熬
忍一忍
只要把molecular pathophysiology的考试考到41分以上
7月20号就能开心地穿上毕业袍
几天后就能回到我热爱的新马土地了！
还有看到思念的人了！
但，看了m.p历年的考题
我只能说：考到41分以上我就可以比看到北极光更开心了
考题竟然都是seminar的题目
我一题都看不懂
现在连找journal都觉得痛苦
想想要读多少journal才能考上？
不然真的直接拿红鸡蛋了
看样子跟first class的距离越来越远了
-伤心中-
现在降低要求了，能毕业就好了
反正有人说会养我 哈哈
别怀疑，考题真的不是普通人考的
每年他fail的人可不少
阿弥陀佛
观音保佑
God blessed
大家保佑我
但不要打架

女人真正想要的是什么？
Read from one of my friend's blog...
年轻的亚瑟国王被邻国的伏兵抓获。邻国的君主被亚瑟的年轻和乐观所打动，没有杀他。并承诺只要亚瑟可以回答一个非常难的问题，他就可以给亚瑟自由。亚瑟有一年的时间来思考这个问题。
如果一年的时间还不能给他答案，亚瑟就会被处死。
这个问题是：女人真正想要的是什么？
这个问题连最有见识的人都困惑难解，何况年轻的亚瑟，对于他这是一个无法回答的问题。但总比死亡要好得多，亚瑟接受了国王的命题--在一年的最后一天给他答案。
亚瑟回到自己的国家，开始向每个人征求答案：公主，妓女，牧师，智者，宫庭小丑。他问了所有的人，但没有人可以给他一个满意的回答。人们告诉他去请教一个老女巫，只有她才能知道答案。但是他们警告他，女巫的收费非常高，因为她昂贵的收费在全国是出名的。
一年的最后一天到了，亚瑟别无选择，只好去找女巫。女巫答应回答他的问题，但他必须首先接受她的交换条件：和亚瑟王最高贵的圆桌武士之一，他最亲近的朋友~加温结婚。
亚瑟王惊骇极了，看看女巫：驼背，丑陋不堪，只有一个牙齿，身上发出臭水沟般难闻的气味，而且经常制造出猥亵的声音。他从没有见过如此不合谐的怪物..他拒绝了，他不能强迫他的朋友娶这样的女人而让自己背付沉重的精神包袱。
加温知道这个消息后，对亚瑟说：“我同意和女巫结婚，没有比拯救亚瑟的生命和保存圆桌更重要的事了。”于是婚礼宣布了。女巫于是回答了亚瑟的问题：女人真正想要的是主宰自己的命运。
每个人都立即知道了女巫说出了一个伟大的真理，亚瑟的生命被解救了。于是邻国的君主放了亚瑟王并给了他永远的自由。
来看看加温和女巫的婚礼吧，这是怎样的婚礼呀！亚瑟王在无法解脱的极度痛苦中哭泣。加温一如既往的谦和，而女巫却在庆典上表现出她最坏的行为：她用手抓东西吃，打嗝，放屁，让所有的人感到恶心，不舒服。
加温依然坚强地面对可怕的夜晚，走进新房。是怎样的景象在等待着他呀！一个他从没见过的美丽的少女半躺在婚床上！加温惊呆了，问她到底是怎么回事。
美女回答说，因为当她是个丑陋的女巫时加温对她非常的好，于是她在一天的时间里一半是她可怕的一面，另一半是她美少女的一面。
那么加温想要她在白天或夜晚是哪一面呢？ 多么残酷的问题呀！
加温开始思考他的困境：在白天向朋友们展现一个美丽的女人，而在夜晚，在他自己的屋子里，面对的是一个又老又丑如幽灵般的女巫呢？还是选择白天拥有一个丑陋的女巫妻子，但在晚上与一个美丽的女人共同度过每一个亲密的时刻？如果你是加温，会怎样选择呢？
一种选择白天是女巫，夜晚是美女，理由是妻子是自己的，不必爱慕虚荣，苦乐自知就可以了；一种选择白天是美女，因为可以得到别人羡慕的目光，至于晚上，可以在外作乐，回到家里，漆黑的屋子，美丑都无所谓了。
是否想知道加温的回答??“加温没有做任何选择，只对他妻子说：'既然女人最想要的是主宰自己的命运，那么就由你自己决定吧。'于是女巫选择白天夜晚都是美丽的女人。 看
到了这篇有趣的文章所以就放了上来~~人类的自私往往忽略了别人的感受..这是大家常常不轻易犯的错...静下来想一想..当你尊重别人,为别人着想时....自己是不是也能得到更多~~

Addiction and psychology and diet
Addiction is the topic discussed in Bioethic today.
What is addiction - dependency, uncontrollable, craving etc.
Why treat addiction - health,crime,community etc.
Why not treat addiction - autonomy (right to have own choice), high relapse rate,expensive etc
What is the treatment - medication including subsituition,detoxification,anti-craving and aversion, psychological including motivation interview etc and social treatment including rehabitility etc.
I find the motivation interview particularly interesting. I remembered Sue is working on nicottine patch for smokers. Currently, nicottine patch is available for smokers who wish to quit smoking, I assume the patch exerts kinda anti-craving effect. Now, Sue is trying to add on psychology aspect - by printing photos (could be your love one, ur pet or things have the power to remind/motivate smoking quitting) on the nicottine patch. I thought it is interesting, you will see them as a source of will power/motivation/determination to quit. I want to print my photos as well as our family photos on nicottine patch and give to my dad, dunno if it motivates him to quit smoking =(
More addiction treatment should be available for gaming, internet, porn, gambling addictions besides alcoholic and smoking problems.
Suprisingly, I remembered alot and it was one of the most enjoyable bioethic lesson. But, what the lesson delivered is not helpful in our dissertation at all. Simply enjoy the lesson and so I involve in the discussion alot.
My middle east classmate revealled that she is addicted to sleeping pills when we were paired up in discussion. She only takes it in the UK but not when she returns to home country. Thats the adverse effect of leaving home country and love ones. I should be fortunate that I'm still handling well. But I'm always fighting with transitional stress and coping with various stressors due to academic performance, financial and etc.
Migrants or temporary translocation always results in adverse psychological impact and a series of undesirable impact when stay away from home and attempt adjusting to the culturally and linguistically different country. Nevertheless, it enhances one's life and grow experiences - adaptability to the new environment, world's view etc (Constantine et al, 2005; Satia-Abouta et al, 2002; Yoon, Lee and Goh, 2008).
The process of assimillating the host country culture by another ethnic group is called acculturation and this phenomenon can also be seen in diet (dietary acculturation)- as a result of behavouir modification. This is what I'm investigating. The literature review is killing me though I find them quite interesting, to combine the psychological aspect in my dietary acculturation study. But they are definately not easy. This weekened I shall touch on statistical analysis of the result, bless me to get through them as I hate statistic analysis (what p>0.005 is significant or not, standard deviation) and never use SPSS- t-test, square test, pearson etc...

Endless wishlist
I know its late, 2.28am here.
But then, I cant help but must blog abit. Ohh..i cant sleep due to my usual sleeping problem and maybe the pain, you know lah..women always suffer.
The main point is.. Net blogged something interesting when she saw her friend blogged it, now is my turn.
I'm trying to imagine that I, I mean WE should be rich enough to buy a house, own some properties, shares, and perhaps a business?
I want to be rich because
1. I can reach my parents' doorstep as long as I want. Who knows the suffer when u want to see somebody but you cant? Flight is my 'ren yi wen'.
2. I can buy parents and siblings a lot of things,bring them to travel.
3. I can always travel.
4. I can keep myself pretty, throw the i-never-know-how-to-handle face problem to beautician, the I-never-slim weight problem to slimming center, the keep-falling hair problem to beijing 101 and my health to health experts and practitioners. In brief, to be pretty and healthy.
Then, most important thing is a healthy and happy family. Erm, though I wish to have more kids so I have many of them surrouding me when I'm old, I would love to see many grandsons and granddaughters called me popo, of cos beside me is gong gong. haha. But then, to be realistic, 2 kids is enough lah. Anyway I dun dare to give birth so far :x
For the work aspect, CAN I DREAM OF HAVING SOMETHING LIGHT YET THE JOB I LIKE? NO 8-6, no punch card, no nasty boss and colleagues, not much stress and get good pay. HAHAHAHA. OK it is unrealistic. Then, anything better than 9-5pm, moderate stress, not-so-mean boss and good pay. Essentially, i should have a job i like and passionate and good pay. Yes, good pay sounds important to me when I get older. More financial commitment leh...
In short, I just want a normal and simple life. I have a complete, happy and healthy family consisting of a lovely husband, few kids and our parents and siblings. Financially stable. Delay aging and weight problems :x Career doesnt weigh too heavy in the later years of my life. Before having kids, hope i still get to travel at least once a year.
Afterall,
I want to be rich..haha..
He has time for me/family.
I have time for him/family.
We can travel together always.
I cook for family though I'm not a good cook too.
I stay pretty and slim.
I have a lovely and comfortable house with nice kitchen, I wanna have oven for the purpose of baking.
I'm spiritually contented.
I have many nice friends to have a share of my life.
I pick up knitting, salsa, yoga, swimming, photography, photoshop.
I must have been to Disney in Japan.
I must have seen aurora. ( this is kinda impossible since that day...)
I know how to cook delicious Spanish seafood fried rice.
I know how to make various Chinese and Thai cuisines and my favourite sushi.
I garden. I like greens and flowers. Roses, tulips, sunflowers are my favourite now. I must plant sunflower in my house, if possible. I love to see brightful sunflower everyday directing me to a bright and delight day.
Endless wishlist... Endless imagination...
Brain is not functioning too good liao.

在英国的第１６６天
西方人看我们亚洲人总是很小。
那天，当我告诉邮政局的老安娣我今年23岁，她突然瞪着我: Are you sure you are 23, you look so much younger.
虽然我有点不能相信自己竟然23岁了，正确来说，22岁6个月5天，很不想长大。可明明我看起来都不年轻，那些个子更小，会看起来更年轻，有些个子很小的女生还在这里买中学生的巴士票哦！哈哈！
其实...今天向要写的重点是，我快得了暴食症，好多功课在脑袋转动，不想想的时候就吃东西，可以是饼干、巧克力、葡萄干、早餐谷粮、沙律、水果，时间到就吃正餐（虽然很多时候并不是很饿，为了不胃痛，正餐都不跳过！）
为什么这么多功课？而且很多我都不会做，需要很努力很努力地看资料和学习才行了。可，我却逃避。
精神很紧绷，连睡觉都好像没有真正休息。得学会怎样完全放松呢？
小姐，拜托你努力啦！不要吃这么多啦！
但，我还是完成了一份1000个字的作业。
还有五天，要给supervisor看literature review, 还有summary of key papers for bioethic dissertation ...
and more ...
This semester will pass like flying.
so much work yet so little time.
God bless me.

冬天. 呈红的夕阳
今天，整个校园被火红的云彩笼罩着，
很喜欢这样火红的落幕.
红色总是跟热情连在一起，
冬天出现的火红天空，让我有了美丽的遐想...
寒热交错，又爱又恨？
照片的循序本末倒置了。
从校园走回来，一路走回宿舍一路拍...
最后要以自拍谢幕...
可是先让你们看看我好了
哈哈

全部都是小相机拍的，如果芊芊宝贝出马，应该更好看吧？
还是很喜欢这系列的照片...
突然想起，跟喜欢的人一起静静地看着夕阳多么写意啊？
呵呵
天空好美，好美..
现在6.06分，照片是半个小时前拍的，现在已渐渐天黑了....

在英国的第163天
6个多月过去了，英国留学生涯已过了一半有多。算算，还有151天才是毕业典礼；还有至少153天才可以回到炎热的新马，我知道每个人都在投诉热死人的天气。虽然，其实很快。是的，我很矛盾，我一向以来都是这样。这也是凡人都会犯的毛病，更何况我也只是一名普通的女生。
人家或许很羡慕我可以来到英国留学游欧洲，确实如此吧？原本是个遥不可及的梦想，我却实实在在地过了6个多月。奈何，还是感觉缺少了什么。
是啦，我就是普通人。拥有的时候不会珍惜，有时候还挺想念工作的时候，下班后就是私人时间，可以跟朋友一起吃饭，可以看看书，周末还可以跑到Kino看书补一补心灵的知识，懂得生活，懂得人世间多一些。
现在，24小时都为了作业，无暇看课外书，连表达能力都差了很多。典型的念书生涯吧？我知道，回到工作岗位上，我就会想念念书的日子。可我现在就是要牢骚一下下。
游走欧洲是多么让人羡慕的事，从前的我，也总是羡慕人家可以到英国念书、游欧洲。其实，我也犯了大多数留学生都会犯的错误－为了游欧洲而游欧洲。以前，连欧洲的地图都不敢多看，苏格兰和英格兰的历史、伦敦和巴黎的距离、北欧的北极圈并不是遥不可及、挪威的景色让人不能自拔、高迪的巴塞隆纳带给每个旅人的震撼、冬天的日短夜长让人止步等等...还没踏入英国的那刻，我通通不知道。
带着没有对欧洲太多的遐想，我来到这里。跟大伙儿的语气是一样的： ‘反正来到这里，不在欧洲旅行不就太笨了？不知何年何日还会再来了！’确实没错啊，可是就是因为没有太多的想象，旅程前的住宿、交通准备等总是倍感压力，因为还要同时面对课业的压力... 什么时候旅行会变成压力了呢？这点，应该只有我才会这样。
结论是，搞到自己的精神很差、语言和表达能力每况愈下、心灵缺乏营养，全都是很精神质的缺乏。有得就有失，人生如此。
话虽如此，我还是那句- 我并没有后悔及时搭到这班赶到英国留学的梦想列车。真的就是那最后一分钟。若要赶上那班车，我必须在去年3月15日之前把一整年的学费准备好。去年3月13号的晚上，还在犹豫不决的我，除了其他原因，顾虑的就是他。在那个下着雨的露天餐桌上，他的这句话为我打下强心剂：去吧，去圆你的梦，一年很快，我会等你。
有了这句话，我马上打电话给妈妈确认我要来英国的事，幸好学费也托阿姨的帮忙弄到3月14日的Bank Draft。学费确认了，就是筹备和等待半年。
非常清楚那是他的双手第一次和我的双手碰在一起，他坐在我的左边为我冰冷的双手取暖。他手心里的温暖是实在的，是感动的，是真诚的。我那冰冷的双手，从此有人为我取暖，幸福原来离我这么近。
或许，回顾以前，才让自己走得更明确，也更懂得珍惜拥有。
这一路走来，不简单。
为了实现我的梦想，我们失去了相处的时间。
有吵有闹、有欢有笑、有甜有酸。
这一切让我更清楚，我该更努力念书，让一切都值得。
谢谢自己，为自己回顾了一些些，让自己更明确、更有动力走这一段路。

非常清楚那是他的双手第一次和我的双手碰在一起，他坐在我的左边为我冰冷的双手取暖。他手心里的温暖是实在的，是感动的，是真诚的。我那冰冷的双手，从此有人为我取暖，幸福原来离我这么近。
或许，回顾以前，才让自己走得更明确，也更懂得珍惜拥有。
这一路走来，不简单。
为了实现我的梦想，我们失去了相处的时间。
有吵有闹、有欢有笑、有甜有酸。
这一切让我更清楚，我该更努力念书，让一切都值得。
谢谢自己，为自己回顾了一些些，让自己更明确、更有动力走这一段路。

Teenage slept with 7 boys at the same time
If you read news or hear from friends or through my previous entry - you know the 'Dad at 13' and the story continues......
Another shocking news was - The dad may not be the 13-year-old boy. This 15-year-old gal had slept with other 6 potential fathers! Her parents told her not to tell anybody else to ensure they have the lucrative income from the media and they have earned thousand pounds for selling the story!
How can a little 15-year-old gal sleeps with 7 boys at the same time???
World has gone wrong. If you interested on the news, pls click here to read further. Insane.
No laws against all of these in the UK? May be.

Diploma in Nutrition, Health and Wellness
Singapore Polytechnic is offering Diploma in Nutrition, Health and Wellness (DNHW) JAE Code: S44 after an introduction of Diploma in Food Science & Technology (DFST) JAE Code: S47 last year. [mine is- Diploma in Chemical Process Technology (Food Technology)]
Looking through the modules offered in DNHW, they are completely tailored to my requirement. How I wish that I were born 4-5years later then I may study this course - the real interest of mine. The student will start studying nutrition related course since first year. HOW ENVY I AM!
How I wish I were BORN 5 years LATER!!! ARgh!!!
Nevertheless, I never regret I have studied in SP, they are so much wonderful memories and friends and I'm still strongly bonded to them and SP.As compared to current university, I may not miss it as much as I miss SP :p
The launch of this diploma motivates me to study harder... Any chances for me to go back SP? Hmm..Who is the IC of the course? I guess they have employed new lecturers...I supposed only Ms Toh and Mrs Tay are equipped with nutrition-related background...
This campus is always in my TOP list!!! The facilities (ranging from Lab, sports, library, computing system etc)are the best one I have ever seen... Not even RMIT, Northumbria Uni (I only fancy the 24hours library & NORA system- which I can retrive plenty of journals without paying) and many universities beat SP! SP ROCKS!!!

Back to assigniment blogging
First of all, sorry guys. I gotta blog more about my assignments & projects that will make you guys bored. Simply skip the technical part :p I need blogging to motivate and inspire my writing @.@
Only few hundred of words for my literature review, it is supposed to be about 1500 words. I realised after being commented on my poor english, I lose my confidence in writing in english >_<
After reading journals after journals, I started on the relationship between chronic disease and migration groups. I should highlight the importance of assessing the dietary patterns of minority migration groups as it often leads to Dietary Acculturation and high prevalence of chronic disease. I should also mention the current public issues relating to diets of migrantion groups as well as the prevailing dietary guidelines.
Second part of the literature review should focus on the Chinese diet that are very diversified regionally. The traditional chinese diet is well-balanced- low in fats and high in fibre. Touch about the diets across Republic of China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore. This is a more social science related.
I know why I find it so hard. Because this is so different from my previous assignments focus on technical part of nutrition related knowledge while this is a combination of technical and social science.
Why I always choose a very challenging topic -__-
Ok, shall continue tomorrow.. work hard.. aza aza fighting!!!

相思病
这几天的情绪...高低起伏
相思病的病症是什么？
脑袋空白，除了他
无心做事，只想他
想见却不能见是痛苦的
是真的该努力了
上个学期的成绩普普通通
虽然我的成绩大多都比香港同学好
也跟全班公认成绩最好的同学差几分
可是还是在B、C的阶段
他们还可以选择用第二年+第三年的成绩来算degree的classification
而我只有第三年的成绩 亏死了
他们第二年还有80-90%
第三年所有人的成绩都下滑得很厉害
教授的要求变高了
再不努力可别后悔
最近有人问我：你现在最重要的是什么？
我答：当然是家人、他还有现在要搞好的学业。
再问：如果其中一样有事你会怎样？
我...根本答不出来，因为我不敢想。
我很清楚，现在学业很重要
可我最近的相思病越来越严重，怎么办？
还有５个月多才可以回去，救命啊！
最近要ｂｌｏｇ多一点功课，才比较有心做功课，
literature review 写了这么多天，才那3百个字，吐血。
记得听爸爸妈妈的话，念书的时候不要谈恋爱。哈哈
不过，我还是庆幸有了他，懂得爱我，我爱的他。
心，永远有爱。

Friendship day.
Full of suprises...
She made this for me. It would be absolutely a perfect candlelit dinner with the candle but it was great enough. She even prepared romantic songs... so sweet of her!
And we dined in dim light *nice ambient*

Have sex at 12 and be a dad at 13?
I'm doubtful. What has the world gone around? When is your first sex and how much knowledge do you have about protected and responsible sex? pls equip the knowledge before you have any!
Everyone knows that European coutries, esp UK and Sweden (As far as I know), their social and welfare benefits are extremely good, as compared to Singapore and Malaysia. Unmarried mum doesnt need to worry about - how to grow their children as government will support them financially. I guess that is the main reason why sweet couples dont want to get married even they have children.
Look... When you just start stepping into puberty and you get your girlfriend pregnant! Will u say u will be a good dad? I wonder what the CHILD's (i couldnt address him as dad) knowledge about sex and growing up a baby??? I wonder how the gene's goes in the baby where his dad is not fully grown up physically and mentally!!!
Baby-faced boy, 13, becomes a father and insists: 'I'll be a good dad'
By Daily Mail ReporterLast updated at 10:39 AM on 13th February 2009
A 13-year-old boy has become a father, it emerged today.
Alfie Patten is now a parent to Maisie Roxanne after his 15-year-old girlfriend Chantelle Steadman gave birth four days ago.
The baby-faced 4ft teenager said he was determined to be a good father even though he has no money and only occasionally gets pocket money from his father.
'I don't really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10,' he told The Sun.
Alfie, who lives with his mother Nicola, 43, in Eastbourne, was 12 when Maisie was conceived after the pair had just one night of unprotected sex.
The birth of Maisie has prompted outrage with former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith highlighting the case as a 'tragic example' of Britain's social decline
Mr Duncan Smith, who runs the Centre for Social Justice think tank, said: 'I don't know about these particular families but too many dysfunctional families in Britain today have children growing up where anything goes.
He added: 'It exemplifies the point we have been making about broken Britain. It's not being accusative, it's about pointing out the complete collapse in some parts of society of any sense of what's right and wrong.
'There is no opprobruim any more about behaviour and quite often children witness behaviour that's aggressive, violent, rude and sexual.
'It's as if no one is saying this is wrong.'
Twelve weeks after Alfie and Chantelle had sex the 15-year-old schoolgirl discovered she was pregnant after she started suffering stomach pains and went, with Alfie, to the doctor.
'He [the doctor] said I should tell my mum but I was too scared. We didn’t think we would need help from our parents. You don’t really think about that when you find out you are pregnant. You just think your parents will kill you,' Chantelle told the paper.
They kept the pregnancy a secret for a further six weeks before Chantelle's mother Penny, 38, became suspicious about her daugher's weight gain and swollen belly.
Alfie said: 'When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried how people would react. I didn’t know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good, though, and care for it.'
Alfie's father Dennis said his son wanted to be a devoted and responsible father, but did not fully appreciate what he had taken on by having a child.
He told The Sun: 'Everyone is telling him things and it’s going round in his head. It hasn’t really dawned on him. He hasn’t got a clue of what the baby means and can’t explain how he feels. All he knows is mum and dad will help.
'When you mention money his eyes look away. And she is reliant on her mum and dad. It’s crazy. They have no idea what lies ahead.'
Dennis, who has nine children, added: 'When I spoke to him he started crying. He said it was the first time he’d had sex, that he didn’t know what he was doing and of the complications that could come.
'I will talk to him again and it will be the birds and the bees talk. Some may say it’s too late but he needs to understand so there is not another baby.'
He said Alfie had wanted to be the first to hold his child.
'He could have shrugged his shoulders and sat at home on his PlayStation. But he has been at the hospital every day,' he told the paper.
A short video clip posted on YouTube today Alfie, who looks no more than eight years old, can be seen cradling his daughter as Chantelle looks on.
The schoolboy appears extremely young for his age - his voice has not broken and his monosyllabic answers to questions indicates his immaturity.
Asked on the video what he will do financially, Alfie replies: 'What's financially?'
The question is then reworded. 'What will you do for money?' Alfie answers: 'I don't know.'
After finding out that Chantelle was having their baby the pair decided against an abortion and on Monday - after five hour's labour - Chantelle gave birth to Maisie Roxanne, who weighed in at 7lb 3oz.
In an interview with the Sun today, Alfie promises to be a good father but admits he can't really afford the child's upkeep.
Alfie said: 'I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good though and care for it. I thought it would be good to have a baby. I didn't think about how we would afford it. I don't really get pocket money. My dad sometimes gives me £10.
'When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble.'
Chantelle and Maisie are living with her parents Penny and Steve, who is unemployed, at their council house in Eastbourne, which is shared with Chantelle's five brothers.
Alfie lives on a nearby council estate with his mother Nicola, 43, but spends much of his time at the Steadmans' home. He even keeps a school uniform there so he can go straight to school from there.
His father Dennis, 45, who works for a vehicle recovery firm and has had nine children himself, admitted Alfie did not really fathom the enormity of what has just happened.
'He could have shrugged his shoulders and sat at home on his PlayStation. But he has been at the hospital every day,' said Mr Patten.
'He hasn't got a clue of what the baby means and can't explain how he feels. All he knows is mum and dad will help.
'When you mention money his eyes look away. And she is reliant on her mum and dad. It's crazy. They have no idea what lies ahead.'
He described his son as a typical 13 year old, who enjoys computer games, boxing and supports Manchester United.
Chantelle, who went home with Maisie from hospital yesterday, told the Sun that she was nervous going into labour but excited now her daughter had been born.
'I know we made a mistake but I wouldn't change it now,' said Chantelle. 'We will be good loving parents. I have started a church course and I am going to do work experience helping other young mums.'
Her mother has accepted life will be difficult for the teenagers.
'I told her [Chantelle] it was lovely to have the baby but I wish it was in different circumstances,' said Mrs Steadman.
The omens for Chantelle and Alfie in the long term do not appear good. Britain's youngest known father is Sean Stewart, who was 12 at the time his girlfriend Emma Webster gave birth to their son in 1998. They broke up six months later.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Sex education is extremely important and it should start as early as possible?!

Newcastle is heavily snowing now.
Love to see the snow flakes dancing in the sky.

秋天- 遗憾
还没离开英国，突然发现遗憾了。
秋天，满地红黄落叶最迷人... 初抵英国地不熟。
冬天，漫长忧郁的灰色天空... 寒冷却偏爱雪景。
春天，期待处处开花的季节... 阳光和花儿最衬。
夏天，旅行和酝酿离开时刻... 挥手道别最不舍。
看不到秋天的美丽湖区，欣赏不到我最喜欢的秋天城市...
红黄色的落叶景色，是我最爱。
我和雪白的景色，该满足矣。
虽然还有半年才走，却已开始不舍。
只好 继续努力储存英国留学记忆。

the fact is.. i cant drink
There are alot of experiences as a student in the UK. One of them is - learn how to drink. I met a belgium couple in my Sweden trip who told me Belgium has the good beer and England people is to get drunk but not appreciate the alcohol.
Here, I learn how to drink too. Though I only drink average 2 glasses everytime, and only few times since I was here, 5 months ago. But it was much more frequent than I ever did in Singapore.
Today, my neighbour celebrates her birthday, with other hostel friends. I was dragged by her to drink. I know I cant drink since ages ago but I have to give her face. After one glass of Rum and 1/4 glass of bailey. I feel the effect - red face, dry throat and fast heart beat.
I know it. the fact is ... i cant drink... from the accumulation of hostel drinking experiences.
So far, I have not bought any wine or vodka while many of hostel friends have bought countless of them. I'm not enthu on drinking, but occasionally, Im invited and gotta politely drink few glasses. And, 3 glasses is my limit.

now, still feeling hot and heart beaten fast... though only 1.5 glasses.
========================================
In Spain, soft drink is the same price as wine. The beer could be cheaper than mineral water. Everytime we ordered set meal (1 starter, 2 main course, 1 dessert and 1 drink), we could choose soft drink or wine. Obviously we chose wines which are more expensive in elsewhere. As long as I drink the wine, my face turned tomato and start feeling the heart beats. But I love Sangria and Cider in Spain. They are really great.
Sangria - Wine with lemon. Love this.
The beer in Madrid
Cider 苹果酒 only few percent alcohol. This brand is good. The restaurant produces their own brand. La Mingo in Madrid.

除了打电话以外，你的手机还能做4件事情
除了打电话以外，你的手机还能做4件事情，你以前不一定知道.我们可能或多或少的知道一些紧急情况下的自救办法，但你可能不知道你的手机在紧要关头也能救你一命。看看下面的内容了解下你的手机能做什么吧！
1. 紧急情况>>> 全世界的手机都可以拨打的共同紧急救援号码是112，加入你发现自己所在的地区无手机信号覆盖，同时你又遇到了紧急状况，用你的手机拨打112准没错，因为这时候你的手机会自动搜索所有可用的网络并建立起紧急呼叫。特别有趣的是，即使你的手机是在键盘锁定的状态，你同样可以拨打112。试试吧！
2. 把车用遥控器落在车里了?>>> 你的车用遥控能打开吧？如果可以，在你有一天将车用遥控器落在车里而且备用的遥控又在家里的话，你会发现有个手机真方便，用手机拨通家里人的手机，将你的手机拿在离车门一英尺的地方，同时家里人拿着遥控器在他的手机旁边按响遥控器上的开锁键，这边你的车门就可以打开了。这个方法不管你把车开得离家有多远都 奏效。
3. 隐形的备用电池>>> 你的手机电量不足了，为了让它能够继续使用，按*3370#键，手机会重新启动，启动完毕后，你就会发现电量增加了50%。这部分隐藏的备用电量用完了你就必须得充电了，再次充电的时候，隐形的备用电池也同时充电，下次电量低的时候又可以用这个方法。知道这个在紧急情况下如果手机电量不足非常管用。
4. 手机被偷了？有个办法让小偷也用不了，嘿嘿！>>> 查看手机的序列号，只需键入* # 0 6 # 15位序列号会出现在手机屏幕上，全世界的每一台手机都有一个独一无二的序列号，把这个序列号记录下来并保存好。有一天如果你的手机不幸被偷了，打电话给手机提供商，并提供你的手机序列号，他们会帮你把手机屏蔽，这样即使小偷换了SIM卡，仍然无法使用，你的手机对小偷来说变得一无是处。如果全世界每个手机持有者都这么做，那么偷手机就没有意义了。在澳洲，警方甚至建立了一个被盗手机数据库，如果你的手机被找到了，就可以归还给你了

The weather
Recently weather turns colder. February is the coolest month in the UK. Probably it is only few degrees difference but as it is more humid, we feel much more colder. I 'smoke' more. Lowest goes to -4degC, i think. Well, Newcastle is much more warmer than any part of the UK. At the same temperature, I think I will 'cool die' in Edinburgh and Glasgow... Edinburgh is really cold >_<
After travelling to Edinburgh, Sweden and Spain, I dont really feel too cold here. Start wearing lesser when I go out. Get used to the weather. Well, by the time I used to the winter, it is almost time to Spring which starts end of the March. Looking forward to Spring, will we get to visit tulipsfield in Holland? May or may not. It is kinda busy during that period, final year project dateline is 1 May.
Staying near campus is great. Recently I wear my pyjamas and jeans to library, just to print assignment and hand in. Of course, I put on a jacket that covered my pyjamas top. Heezz... What I wear inside doesnt really matter cause I seldom take off my jacket. Opps, definately not in lesson where u will stay warm in the class for few hours.
As the winter proceeds, the sun starts setting at later time. In Nov and Dec, it is dark after 4pm but now sun only sets at 5pm. It is good though. Sunrise time has also become earlier than 8am. Meaning we start having longer sunshine. I love it.
I'm still looking for more snow..give me one more snowie day in Newcastle before winter ends.
