I can't avoid it, can I??

I hate formating... Believe me I really hate it... It's giving me nuts....
But, still I have to do it... can't avoid it since I'm paid to do it....

Haizzz, that's life...

I don't like reading text books, but exams made me to read them...
I don't like writing reports, but assessment made me to write them...
I don't like socializing, but the society made me to be socialized...
I don't like doing formating, but money made me to do it...
I don't like filling forms but reality made me to fill forms and forms for yearsssssssss...
I don't like this, and I don't like that, but still I'm doing all of them...

What can I say???

这一辈子我活得太不潇洒了... ...

Fiona's book gallery

Sharing is always a good thing to do... And book sharing is even better... (at least I think it is)...

I would suggest one book as one of the TOP 5 books in Fiona's Book Gallery...

It's called The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo. ( 龙纹身的女孩）(originally called in swedish: "Män som hatar kvinnor").

Although the version I read is in Chinese, but I bet the English version is as nice. It's one of the best detectives stories that I have read so far with a shocking ending. It's evil, it's dark and however it is kind of real. And it gets me to know how Europeans live, which I think it's kind of different from Americans... From the book, I got to know Europeans live on open cucumber sandwiches (not sure about how true it is).

The story is now made into movie... I'm not sure if the movie is as nice, but I have seen the trailer which I think it's quite good.

It's about a girl mysteriously disappeared for 40 years and how a journalist with the help of an asocial punk uncovered the dark and evil secret of the family and the disappearance. A really nice story which is worth reading... and worth buying an original copy...

Highly recommended by Fiona's Book Gallery....

How GREEN is your diet??

taken from http://www.traumkrieger.de/virtualwater/

One steak of beef = 4500 litres of fresh water + 10.96 kg (~250 moles) of CO2 emission

So, eat more GREENS and less BROWNS

My giant Cookies...

Finally, I baked the cookies after leaving the ingredients in kitchen basket since last winter break... Hmmm....More than half a year I guess. Luck me, they're not overdue.

I know the cookies look humongous and bit awful... But they taste pretty... erm... alright..
Well, might be trying some other choco stuffs since I still got half a packet of cooking dark chocolate and a full packet of choco chips..

Hopefully, will look more elegant =)

墓。幕

无聊的时候，常常都会去逛街、逛书店、逛电影院，其实偶尔逛逛墓碑也还不错。

一个一个墓碑代表了一个一个非常独特的人生。有些只是短短几个月的生命，有些则拥有八九十年的人生；有些是英年早逝的壮汉，有些是与病魔奋战的勇士；有些是未出娘胎的婴儿，有些是难产与孩子共赴黄泉的母亲。啊，母亲们多伟大呀！

记得有一家人，里头的孩子都非常早逝，二十出头就都过世了，大都死于意外，而且是一年接着一年。那时我就在想，白发人送黑发人的痛这父母是怎么熬过来的啊。他们需要多大的坚强和多大的勇气呀。

而那些一夜间失去妻儿的丈夫们又是有多么的心痛呢，那些一个人抚养孩子的又有多煎熬呢... ...

每一个墓碑都是一个故事，不论是灿烂还是凄凉，终算也曾经活过一回。活着真的很好，只要睁开眼睛，明天还会是全新的一天。

一墓一墓，一幕一幕，比电影来得更精彩，比戏剧来得更真实。

这些墓碑是在 Picton 的一个教堂旁，有上百年历史了。

I wish I can fly

I got my air ticket with me...
I got my passport with me...
I got my luggage with me...
and I was in the Gold Coast airport...

Instead of boarding a plane and fly 12 hours to Sibu, I went on a car and took 12 hours to get to Sydney... I'm really tired...

Good night...
