But somehow, the God decided that I deserve something good to mark the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;beginning&lt;/span&gt; of 2011. Here is the story:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a norm that NUS business school students started looking for jobs even though they are still in school. The job hunting process can start as early as 1 year before graduation or even one and a half year earlier, depends on individual capability. Perhaps, this is attributable to the hiring process in Singapore. The companies here are so kiasu, worry that talented students might be employed by competitors, thus they start their recruitment season one year before the students graduate, especially banks as investment banks. While most of the students in NUS Business School aiming to enter the high paid industry, they have no choice but to apply for jobs early too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In such setting and under peer pressure, me too, started my career search in last year August, right when my second last semester started. The job hunting process wasn't pleasant, applying a job doesn't mean just sending out your resume and cover letter. At first I thought it was this easy, then I get a taste of the consequences. Series of rejection emails, even just for an office &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;executive&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;position&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day, when I was having a casual conversation with my friend, I get to know from her that there is no one-size-fit-all cover letter, each application must accompanies with its very own cover letter. I tried to make a change. First, I rewrite my cover letter, emphasizing more on my strength and highlighting my main "selling points" to the employer. But still, the situation didn't improve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had sent out least 30 applications, still a small numbers compare to some of the job seekers out there. Then I got discouraged because I didn't even being call for one interview. What depress me more was when my friends around me started to get their job offer, either through their internship or undergone the recruitment process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But all in the sudden, the companies knock on my door, first it was IBM. A very popular IT companies looking for financial analyst. At least it still remain an attractive working place until I was siting in front on the interviewer. The interview only lasted for 15 minutes, 3 questions were asked. Tell me about yourself. Do you having internship with bank before? Do you know that your school get the information all wrong? Then the interviewer told me that he was looking for pricing analyst instead of financial analyst, the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;requirement&lt;/span&gt; of pricing analyst is different from financial analyst, implying that I wasn't the candidate he was looking for. The interviewer was very blunt, I mean, I am sorry that I wasn't the person you want but, for god sake in the name of IBM, you might want to be a little &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;tactful&lt;/span&gt; when something gone wrong in the interview and you think I am the one to be blamed. Your company hire a agency to run the recruitment process and the agency approached my school career center. I don't know which part of the process went wrong but I applied according to the information posted on the career website. I feel bad that you wasted 15 minutes in your life talking to me, hey wait, I came because your company asked me to, I didn't pop up at your company lobby and ask for the interview. Maybe I should be the one showing attitude. Well, that was my first interview, and it was really no good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then the second and third came, Credit &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Suisse&lt;/span&gt; and Philips Electronic. Till now, you might notice how un&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;selective&lt;/span&gt; I was when come to job application, an IT firm, a bank and a &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;FMCG&lt;/span&gt; company. I was quite surprise that Credit &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Suisse&lt;/span&gt; called, the application was a few months old, I thought I was rejected. So when Credit &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Suisse&lt;/span&gt; invited me to their assessment center, I on one side very happy that I made through their first round, on the other side was so nervous cause it would be my first assessment center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I attended mock assessment center in NUS Business School but never really prepare for it. I didn't even imagined I would be invited to the assessment center. Well, I am so fortunate that I have one friend who went to CS assessment center before and she really gave me a big help. Tips and what kind of strategy I can use in the assessment center, it really helps. I think overall, I was not very outstanding in the assessment center but I successfully proved to them that I have more thing I can show, I just need another chance to talk to you. Two days after the assessment center, CS called again, inviting me to the final interview. To be honest, I really spent time to prepare for the interview, with the insider information from my friend, I really think I can do well. However, on the day itself, the questions that I have prepared, none came up. I was so shock and get panic when I get other questions, probably I was too positive about the questions that would come up. What I think I did right was, I get myself re-organized, forget about what I have prepared and pay attention to their questions. It was tough, some of the questions I really answered poorly, freak out by the interview. Another lesson learnt, never rely too much on the tips, it will kill when you become too confident.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I felt so bad after the interview, I was very &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;disappointed&lt;/span&gt; on my performance and felt so unsure. I knew the chance I could get to CS would be slim. Besides &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;disappointing&lt;/span&gt; myself, I also failed the expectation of my friend. I know she really wants to help me to get the job, I felt so sorry for her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the following days after the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;interview&lt;/span&gt;, I comforted myself by saying, well, this won't be my last interview, I can still try &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;other&lt;/span&gt; companies. What have done cannot be undo, just remember this is a lesson for you (me), and no point soaking myself in this negative emotion. Probably it was such a depressing moment, when I get the verbal confirmation from CS, I was so THRILLED and can't wait to share the good news with my friends. It was a very memorable moment, getting an job offer from the dream company, it really made me feel good. It's like finally somebody recognize your competency and they appreciate your value. All the hard work you pay during your school years finally reward you. The burden on your shoulder finally get lifted. The feeling is just AWESOME!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My process of getting a job is not tough, though at the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;beginning&lt;/span&gt; I might put too much stress on myself. In some sense, I feel that I was compensated (by God) from the bad interview I had with IBM. Of course, I consider myself to be lucky too, I knew some of the students have to go through several interviews and assessment centers to get the offer. For the job seekers out there, I truly wish you good luck in your job search, and may your interview experience be the pleasant one. Your time will soon come.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-5203677626433533832?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/5203677626433533832/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2011/01/typical-job-hunting-process.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/5203677626433533832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/5203677626433533832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2011/01/typical-job-hunting-process.html' title='A typical job hunting process'/><author><name>shuling</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10108174479335796743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-8828309870659224750</id><published>2011-01-10T13:43:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2011-01-10T14:23:12.073+08:00</updated><title type='text'>又新年了……</title><content type='html'>2011年的第一篇文章，根据传统应该写下对新一年的展望，或是充满朝气的文章。&lt;br /&gt;但是，又新一年了，新年对成人来说并不是什么值得高兴的事，只是意味着来年的烦恼更多了。&lt;br /&gt;一直很想分析最近闷闷不乐的原因，整理一下自己的心情。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首先圣诞和新年都在生病中度过，所以不管是平安夜或倒数都是在家里过的。&lt;br /&gt;更准确的说，是在面子书上过的 ，很典型的21世纪宅女。&lt;br /&gt;还有从越南回来后，一直都在写报告，写了好几十面，没想到上个星期见了教授后，得到的comment居然是，这些应该放在附录，不应该放在报告里。&lt;br /&gt;囧囧囧囧囧，所以报告似乎又要重新写了……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而家里也发生了一些女佣风波，一年伊始，家里就炒了一个女佣。&lt;br /&gt;好事坏事？不知道，只是隐隐约约觉得未来一年似乎会过得很漫长。&lt;br /&gt;还有还有，找工的过程中也似乎有点不顺。&lt;br /&gt;刚刚看到朋友写的一篇：机会是给有准备的人的。&lt;br /&gt;心中的钟突然被人重重地敲了一下。&lt;br /&gt;我问我自己：我有做好准备吗？我做好了。&lt;br /&gt;但是为什么面试时依然表现得一塌糊涂呢？我不知道。&lt;br /&gt;朋友在面子书上写：越想得到的东西就会越得不到。&lt;br /&gt;也许，我实在太想得到了，所以就受到命运的诅咒吧。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最后，仔细想想自己最近都提不起精神的原因。&lt;br /&gt;老了。&lt;br /&gt;不是年龄上的老了，而是心境上的老了。&lt;br /&gt;太多太多的事与愿违，不顾一切往前冲的冲劲也渐渐地冷却下来。&lt;br /&gt;看着20岁的小孩，已经很难明白为什么他们可以有这么多的精力，难道80后和90后还真的有差别？！&lt;br /&gt;真的只有小孩是天真活泼的，大人看着他们只能大口大口的喘气，然后气。绝。身。亡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;唉，新年尽说些不吉利的话，呸！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-8828309870659224750?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/8828309870659224750/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2011/01/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/8828309870659224750'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/8828309870659224750'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2011/01/blog-post.html' title='又新年了……'/><author><name>shuling</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10108174479335796743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-8641115077463674480</id><published>2010-12-22T18:04:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2010-12-22T18:45:51.362+08:00</updated><title type='text'>越南岘港之行</title><content type='html'>为了我的final year project，第二次去越南，这一次去了岘港（Da Nang）。 &lt;div&gt;虽然两次都是以工作居多，但是两次分别去了不同的城市，也算是一种收获吧！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;第一次去的地方叫会安（Hoi An）, 那里世界文化遗产之一，是座很漂亮的古城。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而这一次的岘港，虽然不及会安风光明媚，但是越南政府正极力开发的新旅游景点，主打美丽沙滩。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;岘港沿着海岸线有很多正在兴建中的度假村，看见许多正在兴建中的度假村。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;会安和岘港都位于越南中部，彼此相隔不远，大约只需要45分钟的车程。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;上次会安之行正好是越南的旱季，特别的热，早上九点钟就仿如我们的中午12点。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而这一次却是越南的雨季，气温只有摄氏20度，十分凉快。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;原本打算要到海边好好玩一玩的，但是没想到终于有空闲时间到海边玩的时候，我居然大病一场。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而且隔天一早就要搭飞机回家，我朋友都好担心我上不了飞机，回不了家~~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;为了不让自己遗憾，特别让朋友用相机给我拍了海边的照片回来。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;没有亲自到过海边，但有照片看看，也算是弥补了吧。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;海边真的很漂亮，刚抵步的那天晚上在海边旁的餐厅吃晚餐，之后沿着海边步行回酒店。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;海边的夜景很浪漫，有很多到海边拍拖的情侣，而晚上的海边很安静，浪很大，跟我们这里的海边不一样。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;越南凉爽的天气和漂亮的海边，也让我想起我在洛杉矶的那段日子。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;同一片大海，隔着海的另一端就是美国西岸了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 209px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" border="0" alt="" src="http://l.yimg.com/a/i/us/tv/blog5/blog_glee_colfer_100426.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;越来越喜欢这部美剧，而最喜爱的是里头一个叫Kurt的角色，就是上图帅帅的男生。&lt;br /&gt;Kurt在故事里的设定是一个同性恋的小男生（现实生活中也好像是），他坦然接受他自己的性取向，然而学校里却有很多人无法接受他。&lt;br /&gt;Kurt在第一季的故事里，为了让他爸爸接受他吃尽了苦头，幸好最终也获得他爸爸的谅解。&lt;br /&gt;而在过程中，即使他的父亲对自己儿子的性取向存有疑惑，但是他从不曾隐藏过他对Kurt的爱。&lt;br /&gt;他们之间的父子情深时我常常受到感动的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;也许受到了太多美剧的影响，我一向对男同性恋保有开放的态度，只要戏剧中出现男同性恋者，我便会无法自拔地爱上他们。&lt;br /&gt;喜欢他们在男生的身体里，保有女性的细腻和温柔，却不失男人应有的坚强。&lt;br /&gt;也许他们就是女生梦想中的好男人吧，拥有男人的臂膀，却懂得倾听女人的心。&lt;br /&gt;也许这就叫hybrid，哈哈！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在第二季的glee里，我哭了两次，两次都是因为Kurt。&lt;br /&gt;第一次Kurt的父亲因为心脏病进了医院，他为了父亲忧心仲仲，甚至为此封闭了自己。&lt;br /&gt;如此浓厚的父子情谊，让我想到了我对我爸爸也拥有一样的感情，感动得稀里哗啦。&lt;br /&gt;总是很容易被亲情感动到，也许离家念书的我，老是挂念家里的父母。&lt;br /&gt;每次回去都觉得爸爸妈妈又老了，而妈妈最近衰运不停，身体老是出问题。&lt;br /&gt;打电话回去，他们都轻描淡写，像是：只是不小心摔倒，没什么大问题啦，进了一趟医院而已。&lt;br /&gt;所以看见戏剧里Kurt为了父亲焦虑的样子，又联想到了我对父母的感情，哭得一塌糊涂。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而第二次哭，又比第一次严重多了。&lt;br /&gt;感动点同样来自Kurt。&lt;br /&gt;Kurt在学校里受到一个男生的欺负，该男生之所以常常找Kurt的麻烦是因为他发现自己有同性恋的倾向，因此断定是Kurt把这种“疾病”传染给他。&lt;br /&gt;另一方面，Kurt的爸爸要再婚了，对象是Kurt在合唱团里的一个男生，Finn的妈妈。&lt;br /&gt;Kurt听到父亲要再婚的消息，高兴得手舞足蹈，由衷祝福，甚至帮他父亲计划起婚礼。&lt;br /&gt;而同时，合唱团里的其他女生也发现Kurt因为被欺负这件事，常常听到一点小声音便噤若寒蝉。&lt;br /&gt;她们觉得这样下去Kurt的压力会越来越重，便强迫自己的男友们保护Kurt，起码也得警告欺负Kurt的男生别再找Kurt的麻烦。&lt;br /&gt;但是这么多人当中，唯独Finn拒绝给于Kurt这样的保护。&lt;br /&gt;最终，Kurt的父亲和他的新妈妈终于知道了Kurt被欺负这件事。&lt;br /&gt;一方面，Kurt的父亲很惊讶自己的儿子在学校受尽委屈，自己却一无所知，而Finn却没有在适当的时候保护自己的兄弟，让他感到很失望。&lt;br /&gt;事情终于上报到了校长那里，但校长却表示无能为力。&lt;br /&gt;为了让自己的儿子天天上学不再受到威胁，Kurt的父亲决定把自己原本要去度蜜月的存款，用来把Kurt转去一所私人学校。&lt;br /&gt;而Finn也一直到了自己的错误，在婚礼当天向Kurt表明了自己的懦弱，并说Kurt才是真正的男人。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这一集是很矛盾的。&lt;br /&gt;Kurt一方面很开心的替自己的父亲准备婚礼，却在学校里因感到备受威胁而时刻战战兢兢。&lt;br /&gt;我感动的地方是Kurt的父亲在得知Kurt的处境后，心痛的不只是Kurt无法得到别人的认同，就连即将成为自己继子的Finn也无法认同Kurt。&lt;br /&gt;而Kurt不想爸爸替他担心，而尽力瞒住爸爸，让爸爸开开心心完成婚礼，也让我很动容。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这一集也让我更期待下一集的到来，究竟Kurt会转到其它学校吗？！&lt;br /&gt;最后送上那一集里的一首歌，是Kurt的爸爸进教堂的歌，好好听哦~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/U38o_SBIBys?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/U38o_SBIBys?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;color1=0x5d1719&amp;amp;color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-426953282533021739?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/426953282533021739/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2010/11/gleek.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/426953282533021739'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/426953282533021739'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2010/11/gleek.html' title='GleeK!'/><author><name>shuling</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10108174479335796743</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ybMqhgUspoE/TPJCsjZ69GI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/GhHuvwk59KE/s72-c/glee%2B2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-2184698191126679687</id><published>2010-11-26T22:48:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2010-11-27T00:19:37.117+08:00</updated><title type='text'>最近看着一部好戏叫义海豪情</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 250px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543889391749447842" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/TO_aB21IQKI/AAAAAAAAAIE/FgINTEovao0/s400/yh4.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;也喜欢配角们，虽然戏份不及主角，却个个性格分明，有棱有角，如排骨、非凡哥和向山铁也。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;尤其是金刚饰演的向山铁也，即使是个奸角，但是他对九姑娘偶有惜才之意，也让他晋升为我所喜爱的人物之一。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;也很明显地看到了金刚演技的进步，完全摆脱了台湾偶像剧玩闹的演戏方式，也让我更期待他接下来的戏剧作品（但是他真的要再把广东话练好一点）！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而麦包也在戏里有非常亮眼的表现，希望他可以获得最佳配角的奖项。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;最近闹得沸沸腾腾的tvb视后之争，传闻奖项不是阿佘就是雯女的囊中物。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;个人认为，邓萃雯在这部戏里的表现，是大大超出她在上一部的水平。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;在义海豪情里，九姑娘是一个内心很复杂的角色。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;在家里，她是为了爬上龙头大哥的位置而可以对自己的弟弟狠下毒手的一个的忤逆女。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;在外头，她是带领兄弟，无恶不作的老大。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;私底下，她竟为了情和义，为素未谋面的陌生人而赌上自己的生命。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;种种矛盾的心理，在雯女的演绎下，九姑娘已成了一个有灵魂的人物，而不只是剧本纸上的一个角色而已。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;相比之下，佘诗曼在公主嫁到里的昭阳公主是如此的缺乏深度。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;生气时瞪大双眼，开心时展开笑靥，与九姑娘相比之下，昭阳公主是一个容易驾驭的角色。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;即使不由佘诗曼来演，由其他女星代之，相信戏剧效果也可达成。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;因此，我百分百支持邓萃雯获奖。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-2184698191126679687?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/2184698191126679687/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2010/11/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/2184698191126679687'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/2184698191126679687'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2010/11/blog-post.html' title='最近看着一部好戏叫义海豪情'/><author><name>shuling</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/Se-1eUnqG7I/AAAAAAAAAA0/5jFfm-KSdIg/S220/pic4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/TO_JAtUWLJI/AAAAAAAAAH8/DwvKIhYaAsk/s72-c/yh3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-1161985495603842525</id><published>2010-05-31T22:14:00.006+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-31T22:58:19.703+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Merlion Roars'/><title type='text'>Best semester ever!!!</title><content type='html'>Exam result released this morning.&lt;div&gt;To be honest, I was quite worry about my result.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I know I won't fail, but for some papers, I don't think I did well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think, sometimes when you over-worry about something, you'll get surprise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was a busy morning as I have something to report to my boss and I have to sit in a meeting at 9.30am.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So focused in the meeting, I totally forgot about the result thingy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It was lunch time when I finally remembered today is the result release day.&lt;br /&gt;I checked through sms, I was nervous when I type my matrix number.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It only took 10 sec for the message to come back to me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I held my breath and opened the message.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/TAPLYwR3K0I/AAAAAAAAAGM/0_mgHQHJYyg/s1600/result.JPG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/TAPLYwR3K0I/AAAAAAAAAGM/0_mgHQHJYyg/s400/result.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477445197949774658" style="cursor: pointer;

Work? or grad trip?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today, i just had dinner with one of my friends.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;She is a very interesting person, she is so mature that sometimes I wonder how can she have this kind of thinking when she is only 20.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2 years younger than me, but there is no gap when we have conversation.&lt;br /&gt;I don't know is either I know her too well or she is that kind of person who can convince me to agree with her.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But most of the time, I found her point of view is so unique yet astute.&lt;br /&gt;All I can say is that, she is smart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We were talking about future, internship, education system in NUS vs USA during the dinner.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And we started to discuss how unfair in the education system of NUS, more precisely, NUS Biz School.&lt;br /&gt;In USA, the lecturers are very supportive and encouraging when a student landed on an internship, it doesn't matter that internship is very prestigious kind or is just a normal internship.&lt;br /&gt;But in NUS, the biz career center constantly engrafts the idea that, if you can't get a good internship, you are nothing but a LOSER.&lt;br /&gt;After years of hearing that, it is true that I get worried when I still not having some good internship in my CV.&lt;br /&gt;I remembered last couple of days, I keep applying for internships, not a few but quite a number.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Big banks like DBS, Citibank to smaller IB firms to some other well-established companies.&lt;br /&gt;I questioned myself, is it what I want to do for my future?&lt;br /&gt;The answer is yea, I would like to work in banking industry, not only NUS biz school says banking is the best industry to dive in but also this is one of my strength.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;However, will I consider myself a failure if I can't get into any finance industry?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Probably not, I still have my passion for supply chain management, another area that I probably will do better than finance&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But, I don't wanna give up finance, finance might not be the best fit for me but I still want to give it a try. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;NUS biz school is talking about finance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is understandable that Singapore is a finance hub so the school is focusing more on finance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But I think, they shouldn't shape the picture as in only finance is the best that you should get, people love marketing, love supply chain, love management, just because they can't do well in finance.&lt;br /&gt;What's wrong if I can't get an internship in finance industry?&lt;br /&gt;Nothing wrong, but I feel ashame, like I disappoint my parents, betray my life or something.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I started to think, why would I have such thinking, finance is not the only career that I can pursue, if I am dedicated, I can shine in any area.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My friend was right, she said we have reach the level that we started to think why we are in univ and what I want to do  in future.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This statement hits me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I, in fact, was thinking about what I want in the future recently and how should I achieve that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And I still thinking, can't decide which one is the best.&lt;br /&gt;I am afraid that if I pick the wrong one, I will be stuck there and find no U-turn.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It reminds me of "The Road Not Taken".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The poem I learnt in secondary school, it starts with "&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;two roads diverged in a yellow wood".&lt;br /&gt;Aptly describe my fear now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;今天晚餐的时候，我们一面吃饭配电视。&lt;br /&gt;电视剧里有个婆婆级演员，眼睛24小时都是惊讶的表情。&lt;br /&gt;于是我就和我的屋友说，不同这名演员有没有打过Botox或做过拉皮手术。&lt;br /&gt;然后我们的话题就围绕着眼睛来说。&lt;br /&gt;屋友A说，人的五官是不会长大的，所以她的眼睛现在这么小，小时候她的眼睛很大。&lt;br /&gt;我似乎有听过这个说法，可是她说她小时候眼睛很大，我和屋友B都不相信，吵着让她拿出证据来。&lt;br /&gt;我也对他们说，我听过的是五官会长大，只是眼球是不会长大。&lt;br /&gt;五官怎么可能不会长大，婴儿的五官这么小，大人的这么大，怎么可能不会长大。&lt;br /&gt;然后屋友A就说，对对对，眼睛就是不会长大。&lt;br /&gt;可是我还是很困惑，眼睛是眼睛，眼球是眼球，我便问她说，你的眼睛是包括眼皮，眼睫毛，眼球还有眼珠子吗？&lt;br /&gt;她说，眼睛不就是只有那个球体状的物体吗？&lt;br /&gt;我说，那个就是眼球啊！&lt;br /&gt;她说，眼球不是黑色的部分吗？&lt;br /&gt;屋友B说，那个是眼珠。&lt;br /&gt;我也觉得屋友B说的对，眼球应该就是球体状的那个，而眼珠就是黑色的部分。&lt;br /&gt;但是屋友A却很坚持地说，眼球就只有黑色的部分，眼睛是那个球体状的物体。&lt;br /&gt;她还问说，那我们的嘴巴包括什么？&lt;br /&gt;我就说，嘴巴应该包括牙齿，嘴唇，舌头，牙龈。。。还有味蕾。&lt;br /&gt;我们就为了究竟是眼珠还是眼球讨论了一番，还向在一旁用电脑的屋友C问，究竟她认为是哪个黑色的部分应该是眼珠还是眼球。&lt;br /&gt;她说，她觉得是眼球。&lt;br /&gt;什么？！那个明明就是眼珠啊！现在的比票是2-2。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;究竟，我们眼睛里黑色的部分应该是眼珠还是眼球？&lt;div

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Merlion Roars'/><title type='text'>从来没有做过这么爽的Internship！！！</title><content type='html'>虽然我也没过做过很多internship，但是我觉得我每次找到的工作都是不算辛苦的。&lt;br /&gt;和我爸爸打工的不算，去年12月，我在我爸的前雇主MSC工作时，那是最轻松的工作。&lt;br /&gt;什么事也不用做，偶尔做一下data entry，然后就是看报纸或杂志。&lt;br /&gt;第二份工是我在新加坡的第一份工，做秘书，老板出差时，我可以上网，上facebook，读CNBC。&lt;br /&gt;第三份工，通过学校找到，心想这下总算是那种必须认认真真做的工了吧。&lt;br /&gt;没想到，跟前两份也是没什么两样。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;虽然说现在做的这份工的确比前两份累，也当然学到比较多东西。&lt;br /&gt;但是，因为是Heinz，我上班第一天的工作就是品尝新的产品，然后feedback给product manager。&lt;br /&gt;上班第二天，我就不需要回公司了。&lt;br /&gt;因为我要做field work，基本上就是到新加坡各地的超级市场，去做产品调查。&lt;br /&gt;去看看那些超级市场是不是又在卖我们的产品，看看他们的价钱和我们推荐的售价差多少，看看我们的竞争对手有做些什么。&lt;br /&gt;我负责的是一家charge for shelf space的超级市场。&lt;br /&gt;就是说，如果公司的产品要在那家超级市场上架，就必须付一定的费用给他。&lt;br /&gt;所以，公司特别想知道我们的产品在那家超级市场占了什么样的位子，看看能不能从中找到一些cost saving opportunities。&lt;br /&gt;结果，我就必须光顾那家超级市场的每一间分行。&lt;br /&gt;累当然是累了，想想看每天都必须要顶着大太阳，搭公共巴士或者是地铁到处去。&lt;br /&gt;而且还必须有好脚力，有些地方公共巴士没有直通车，结果就必须靠自己的11号巴士慢慢走。&lt;br /&gt;有时回家后，真的觉得脚好累，还用热水泡脚，让脚筋舒服舒服。&lt;br /&gt;刚开始的一两天，因为不知道太阳会这么晒，结果一点防晒工作都没有做，回家后，我的皮肤可以很明显地感觉到阵阵的刺痛。&lt;br /&gt;有了这样的经验后，从此出门前一定搽好防晒油，晚上一定涂上润肤液才睡觉。&lt;br /&gt;比起天气热，我真的不要下雨。&lt;br /&gt;下雨虽然凉快，但是湿答答的，我不喜欢。&lt;br /&gt;我宁愿出太阳，那么我可以搽防晒油，戴黑眼镜，也不要下大雨。&lt;br /&gt;但是，field work也有开心的地方， 不用回公司，时间比较自由。&lt;br /&gt;而且到处去还可以去一些自己可能一世人都不会去的地方。&lt;br /&gt;住在新加坡，虽然小，但是有些地方，根本连怎么去都不知道。&lt;br /&gt;但是透过这个机会，总算到了一些平常不会去的地方，吃一吃那边的食物（虽然味道是差不多啦）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而上个星期五，公司办了圣诞节烧烤会。&lt;br /&gt;是公司的managing director为了品尝Heinz的新产品而办的。&lt;br /&gt;否则，圣诞节通常只是到餐厅去吃午餐而已。&lt;br /&gt;但是办烧烤会也很不错，因为managing director为我们准备的材料都是上等的牛肉、猪排、鸡翅膀和香肠。&lt;br /&gt;如果是我班的BBQ，我肯定都是买比较便宜的。&lt;br /&gt;但是这个是报公司的帐，结果都是好东西。&lt;br /&gt;而且，最搞笑的是，我们的HR director一直帮忙烤东西，烤好了之后，就送来叫我们4个interns吃。&lt;br /&gt;结果不管是satay、猪排、牛肉、香肠，什么都是我们这4个都公司最没有贡献的人先吃。&lt;br /&gt;害我很不好意思的叫其他同事：你们也不要客气。&lt;br /&gt;吃完之后，因为食物太多，managing director还叫我们打包。&lt;br /&gt;当然，圣诞节也不忘交换礼物。我们事前都抽签，看看我们必须为谁准备礼物。&lt;br /&gt;自从我第一天上班后，就没有再回到公司。&lt;br /&gt;虽然我的送礼对象还算是有比较多接触的product manager，但是我真的不知道该送些什么。&lt;br /&gt;结果就只准备了巧克力。。。但是，我还是收到蛮不错的礼物。&lt;br /&gt;除了圣诞礼物之外，managing director还把公司收到的礼篮和礼物分发给我们。&lt;br /&gt;结果我居然拿到Skin Food的沐浴露，不错哩！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我真的是很好命，做了三份工，三份工都这么爽。&lt;br /&gt;不过，很想家哩。&lt;br /&gt;想念小小，还有槟城美食。。。。&lt;br /&gt;等我领薪水后，我一定把钱都花光。&lt;br /&gt;哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈&lt;div

/&gt;话说我在新加坡的家住进了第六名新的成员。&lt;br /&gt;那时我还在睡午觉，可是睡睡醒醒中，我可以知道那名新成员在衣橱那里整理东西。&lt;br /&gt;终于我午觉睡醒了，我打开衣橱，却发现我挂在衣架上的衣服，全都被丢在橱底。&lt;br /&gt;衣架上挂上了新成员的衣。&lt;br /&gt;我很生气，那个人怎么可以没问过我就把我的衣服拿下，而且还霸占了我的位子。&lt;br /&gt;梦里我的情绪很激动，被气到连正常呼吸也做不到，起到快要窒息了。&lt;br /&gt;我真的觉得我很不被尊重，所以我就把那个新成员叫来，很不客气地问她，为什么没问过我就把我的衣服拿下来，丢在橱底。而且更过分的是，她用来挂衣服的衣架还要是我的！没经过同意，就乱动别人的东西。&lt;br /&gt;我觉得他怎么可以这样没有礼貌，而且今天她才第一天搬进来而已，就这样没礼貌，以后要怎么相处下去。&lt;br /&gt;所以我就跟她说：我觉得我的尊严被严重的侵犯到，我觉得我没有受到你基本的尊重。我们这样没有办法做室友，我不懂以后我该怎么和你相处。所以现在，请你马上搬出去！&lt;br /&gt;她一听，便哇一声地哭了。&lt;br /&gt;我看着她哭，一点歉意都没有，还走出房间，&lt;br /&gt;出来以后，我的屋友A便问我发生什么事。&lt;br /&gt;我把事情的经过告诉她，还坚持说她必须要搬出去。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;场景2&lt;br /&gt;屋友B回来了，新成员还在房间里哭哭啼啼。&lt;br /&gt;屋友B便问我发生什么事，我把事情又说了一遍。&lt;br /&gt;屋友B看到新成员这么伤心，就说即使要她搬出去，也去说一些好话，道个歉什么的。&lt;br /&gt;我和屋友B又走进房间，新成员看到我进来，哭得更厉害了。&lt;br /&gt;她身边有一名“不明男子”在安慰她。&lt;br /&gt;屋友B叫我说一些好话，所以我就对她说：你是一个很kind很sweet的女孩。但是你刚刚的那种行为我真的是无法原谅，也不知道要怎么跟你相处，所以请你立刻搬出去！&lt;br /&gt;屋友B在我背后偷偷小声地说：你还没有道歉。&lt;br /&gt;我又加了一句：我真的很抱歉，但是你真要搬出去。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;终&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我不懂为什么我一直对她重复“搬出去”，而且看到她哭也没有歉意。&lt;br /&gt;证明了我不喜欢人家没经过我的同意就乱乱碰我的东西。&lt;br /&gt;朋友们小心了，千万不要犯这个错误，不然我就请你搬出去。哈哈！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;我觉得可能是因为我的脑部细胞太勤劳了，晚上睡觉的时候也不休息，才会让我做了许多莫名其妙的梦。&lt;br /&gt;最近这两天，也不懂是不是因为考完试，白天没有用这么多脑，结果晚上睡觉的时候才来做梦。&lt;br /&gt;而且做的梦真的是超级夸张。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;场景1&lt;br /&gt;我梦见我自己死了（我知道很不吉利，但是重点不是这边）。&lt;br /&gt;梦的一开始我就是在通往地狱的途中，所以我没有梦到自己怎么死去，但是却知道自己死了，是在前往地狱的路途中。&lt;br /&gt;梦里面，我好像是在空中俯视陆地。&lt;br /&gt;地面的场景是火红色的沙漠，而且气温很高。&lt;br /&gt;沙漠上有一条长长的人龙，那是通往地狱的道路。&lt;br /&gt;人们必须走在这炽热的沙漠上，才能抵达沙漠。&lt;br /&gt;不懂为什么，我在做梦的时候就仿佛有人告诉我，坏人是必须要走路才能到地狱的。&lt;br /&gt;坏人必须赤脚踩着这热乎乎的沙子，一步一步地走往沙漠。&lt;br /&gt;最好笑的是，这条道路的长度是40miles，我也不懂为什么我会梦到美国的measurement。&lt;br /&gt;40miles大概就是64km，所以坏人就必须要忍受着64公里的热气，一步一步地走到地狱去。&lt;br /&gt;而好人又怎么样呢，因为是好人嘛，好人可以飞去哦。&lt;br /&gt;我做的梦还真是符合逻辑，好人坏人死了之后还真的是有不同的待遇。&lt;br /&gt;我后来想想，到底我在梦中是好人还是坏人。&lt;br /&gt;我觉得因为我是在空中俯视地上，所以很有可能我是飞去地狱的。&lt;br /&gt;因此，我想我应该是好人吧。（汗，这是我醒来之后想的，梦没有跟我说我是好人还是坏人。）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我做梦的时候，梦完了第一个场景，通常会休息一下。&lt;br /&gt;做第二个场景的梦时，我的脑就是会知道说，这个场景和上一个场景是来自同一部“戏”。&lt;br /&gt;我觉得我做梦就像看戏一样。哈哈！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;场景2&lt;br /&gt;第二个场景一开始我就已经在人间。&lt;br /&gt;但是我好像不是人（不懂那样算不算是鬼），我自己也奇怪我为什么会在人间。&lt;br /&gt;梦里面好像有一个比较合理的原因，但是我已经不记得了，不过我就是觉得梦曾经跟我说我为什么要跑去人间，只是我忘记而已。&lt;br /&gt;如果是根据后续发展而推断回为什么我回到人间的话，那就是我还不甘心死。&lt;br /&gt;话说我到了人间认识了一个人，那个人的名字叫：陈皇陵&lt;br /&gt;为什么我会这么肯定，因为那个人给我他的名片。&lt;br /&gt;夸张吧，有名字就算了，还要有名片。&lt;br /&gt;那个人的名字也很奇怪对不对，那里有人叫皇陵的，皇陵是指皇帝的坟墓。&lt;br /&gt;但是这个人其实是地狱王（我不懂我从那里知道这个词，反正在梦里面，地狱里最大的就是地狱王）的第七个儿子，在梦里面，他被称为七皇子。&lt;br /&gt;我知道为什么是七皇子，因为前几天我看了“花木兰”，陈坤在里面演的是魏国的七皇子。&lt;br /&gt;所以我一定受到影响，认定那个人也是七皇子。&lt;br /&gt;为了要复活，梦里的我决定色诱七皇子，然后要求他求他的地狱王老爸让我重生。&lt;br /&gt;不要乱乱想歪，以为我跟那个七皇子做什么，我们只是接吻而已。&lt;br /&gt;认识我的人应该知道，我觉得接吻并不代表什么。&lt;br /&gt;（不过还是害羞呐，居然梦到这样的情景。）&lt;br /&gt;但是啊，或许已经死了的人本来就是注定不能复活，没想到地狱王居然把七皇子的性命给夺走。&lt;br /&gt;用逻辑的方式来想，那时候的我在人间嘛，所以七皇子那时候还是个人。&lt;br /&gt;因此，地狱王是可以“收回”七皇子的性命，而且他也不算死，只是不能够活在人间而已。&lt;br /&gt;这是在梦给我的解释……好料ler，我的梦还会跟我解释。&lt;br /&gt;梦到这里就结束了。&lt;br /&gt;因为七皇子死了嘛，死了就会忘记生前发生的事，故事的setting是酱，有什么问我的梦不要问我，所以我也就不能实现我复活的愿望了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;醒来之后，我有一点不明白，既然我是以好人的身份死掉的，为什么我过后还要到人间去呢？&lt;br /&gt;为什么我会不甘心死，为什么我会要复活。&lt;br /&gt;这一点我的梦没有解释给我听，害我到现在还是摸不着头脑。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

planned.&lt;br /&gt;I get so frustrated especially when I tried so hard to get things back on-track but screwed by somebody who think she is insisting the right thing.&lt;br /&gt;I agree with my housemates when they tried to comfort me yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;There are some weird situations where, someone in your group suggest some rubbish ideas but he is smart enough to make everyone thinks that he is correct and all the members will be incantated and doing the project in the way he suggests.&lt;br /&gt;But, at certain point, someone will realize that this way might not be the best way yet no one dare to raise the opposition and the black magic continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably there are other reasons that lead me to this breakdown.&lt;br /&gt;I pushed myself really hard recently.&lt;br /&gt;I did quite well in my other modules, it seems like it is once in a while chance that I probably could get really good grades.&lt;br /&gt;And this is extremely important to me as I am seeking ways to improve my CAP.&lt;br /&gt;So I can't let myself fall, it just cost me too much to get one bad grade in my report card and it will ruin all the efforts I put in for the whole semester.&lt;br /&gt;I have been forcing myself to go forward, and forward and forward.&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, when I revised what has happened, I feel surprise that how can I force myself this much.&lt;br /&gt;When I walk into corner, dig a tunnel and crawl.&lt;br /&gt;The stress is what I have to pay if I want to be one of the top.&lt;br /&gt;But, this dream has never came true.&lt;br

Banking'/><title type='text'>At least this is something Malaysia can proud of, Islamic Banking</title><content type='html'>I think this is my first &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;time &lt;/span&gt;talking about my school project.&lt;br /&gt;Well, school projects..they a€re just not interesting enough to discuss on blog...&lt;br /&gt;But this one, the reason I mention it here is because the project is something related to Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have to do a project about Islamic Banking for my finance module.&lt;br /&gt;As I come from Malaysia, Islamic banking is not a very unfamiliar topic to me.&lt;br /&gt;But, in Singapore, the development of Islamic banking is relatively small compare to conventional banking.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, Muslim population is quite small in Singapore, so Islamic banking remain unpopular.&lt;br /&gt;But for Malaysian, we familiar with Islamic banking, we might not fully understand how it works but we know that everything under Islamic banking must be Halal and it prohibits interest.&lt;br /&gt;I believe some of my friends even have a saving account in Islamic bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Doing&lt;/span&gt; this project gives me a chance to explore on Islamic banking.&lt;br /&gt;The more I read and research on the topic, the more I found that Malaysia is actually quite famous in Islamic financial industry and it is recognised by some media as "Islamic banking hub".&lt;br /&gt;Asset involved in Islamic banking system is &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;USD&lt;/span&gt;62 billions in year 2008 in Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;Total asset of Islamic banking system across the globe is &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;USD&lt;/span&gt;580 billions.&lt;br /&gt;So, with some simple math, you will learn that Malaysia is holding approximately 11% of the global assets.&lt;br /&gt;(Other major players in Islamic banking are Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;UAE&lt;/span&gt;, Turkey, Bahrain and Qatar)&lt;br /&gt;11% might seems insignificant, but think about most of the Islamic countries are located in Middle East where the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;countries&lt;/span&gt; are rich and wealthy with the oil reserve they have.&lt;br /&gt;I think 11% is quite a good percentage given the size and the ripeness of our financial market in Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;the&lt;/span&gt; reasons that contributes to Malaysia's success is its uniform regulation in Islamic banking.&lt;br /&gt;As most of us know, the law of Shariah (where Islamic banking must comply with) is based on &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Quran&lt;/span&gt; and it depends on the Islamic scholars to &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;interpret&lt;/span&gt; and translate &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Quran&lt;/span&gt; to the followers.&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, in some countries, like Iran and Pakistan, the country doesn't have one single Shariah law they the whole nation could agree on.&lt;br /&gt;Hence, it is difficult for the bankers to develop the financial instruments as the consumers has no idea whether the products are halal.&lt;br /&gt;But in Malaysia, we have Shariah Advisory Council under Bank &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Negara&lt;/span&gt; which will oversee the legality of the Islamic products that are offered by the banks.&lt;br /&gt;the advisory board not only assure the legitimacy of the Islamic banking system but also help the consumers to identify the Shariah compliance products.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, it will also reduce the controversial issue in certain financial contracts.&lt;br /&gt;For example, mark-up principle which is widely use in the financial products (such as &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Murabahah&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Ijarah&lt;/span&gt;) in Malaysia often receive critic from the Islamic scholars from Middle East as they believe mark-up principle is still interest-based and should be prohibited.&lt;br /&gt;However, Islamic banks in Malaysia are still allowed to use that principle to design their contracts as it is halal according to the Shariah Advisory Council in Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, Islamic banks in Malaysia receive strong government support.&lt;br /&gt;Islamic banking was initiated as early as 1983 by Tun &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Mahatir&lt;/span&gt;, who was the prime minister that time.&lt;br /&gt;I personally think that Tun &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_14" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Mahatir&lt;/span&gt; is very smart and &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;respectable&lt;/span&gt; leader.&lt;br /&gt;And if Tun &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Mahatir&lt;/span&gt; is an American, he most probably will become one of the presidents.&lt;br /&gt;I would say that Tun &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;Mahatir&lt;/span&gt; was quite ambitious when he first introduce Islamic banking in 1983.&lt;br /&gt;Since then, Malaysia &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;government&lt;/span&gt; has introduced a number of supporting measures, including the introduction of &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_19" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;takaful&lt;/span&gt; (Islamic insurance) as to robust the development and boost the growth of the sector.&lt;br /&gt;While other Islamic countries like Brunei and Indonesia in SEA region stays small in the industry, Malaysia soon evolved as the biggest player in Asia-pacific region.&lt;br /&gt;Brunei only started Islamic banking at 1993, 10 years later than Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;Indonesia, despite the huge Muslim population they have, the industry's market share is still less than 2%, about &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_20" class="blsp-spelling-error"&gt;USD&lt;/span&gt;3 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think stable political environment also plays a role.&lt;br /&gt;Malaysia is considered safe (by ignore the political drama that we have recently) as compare to Middle East region.&lt;br /&gt;Some of the banks in Middle East were claimed (&lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_21" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;allegedly&lt;/span&gt;) to finance the &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_22" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;terrorists&lt;/span&gt;' attacks.&lt;br /&gt;As a result, immediately after the 911, many Middle East investors pulled their fund out from the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conversely, Malaysia should also realize the difficulties it will face in the future.&lt;br /&gt;Even though we have a very &lt;span id="SPELLING_ERROR_23" class="blsp-spelling-corrected"&gt;sophisticated&lt;/span&gt; system in place, other upcoming challenges should not be neglected.&lt;br /&gt;1. How to attract a large number of global players?&lt;br /&gt;2. How to develop a broad variety of instruments which can meet consumers' demand?&lt;br /&gt;3. How to install a comprehensive financial infrastructure?&lt;br /&gt;4. How to train more skilled professionals in Islamic banking?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After doing much research, I become qutie acquainted in this topic.&lt;br /&gt;And I think I enjoy doing on this project, you can tell by seeing me typed all those boring facts in my blog.&lt;br /&gt;As Malaysia performs so well in this sector, we should really carry on and make Islamic banking as one of our country's competitive advantages.&lt;br /&gt;But, we need to watch out, Islamic bankning is becoming more and more popular nowsaday where Singapore, Hong Kong, London and the United States started to develop Islamic banking in their countries and compete with us.&lt;br /&gt;(Mostly because after the financial crisis, investors are looking for more ethical and less-risk investments which are also the characteristic of Islamic banking. Most importangly, Islamic banking could provide liquidity which cenventional banking is deperately needing. )&lt;br /&gt;So probably finance students in Malaysia can consider to start their career in Islamic banking, since Malaysia is so resourceful and knowledgable in this industry.&lt;br /&gt;Exploit on the strength, why not!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-6114410278454633842?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/6114410278454633842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/10/at-least-this-is-something-malaysia-can.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/6114410278454633842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/6114410278454633842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/10/at-least-this-is-something-malaysia-can.html' title='At least this is something Malaysia can proud of, Islamic Banking'/><author><name>shuling</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/Se-1eUnqG7I/AAAAAAAAAA0/5jFfm-KSdIg/S220/pic4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-862654004060001087</id><published>2009-10-13T22:39:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-10-13T23:24:43.987+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Merlion Roars'/><title type='text'>The Second Half</title><content type='html'>Finally, after 4 weeks of mugging, I finished my last midterm this morning.&lt;br /&gt;That wasn't a very difficult one but a tricky one, i don't like the prof went through the question right after she collected our paper.&lt;br /&gt;(the class is 3 hour and our test is only 1 hour with 50 MCQ)&lt;br /&gt;I hate to know that I have 15 wrongs, I have to see how's the distribution, but I think I will be only B or B+.&lt;br /&gt;I have a little bit of dissapointment but move on, today is the last day of my midterm, I am happy about it and i didn't allow myself to think about it more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's finally come to the second half of the semester.&lt;br /&gt;Unlike other, I segregate my semester into before midterm and after midterm.&lt;br /&gt;Before midterm, I still remember how I always complain about the workload, how unmanagable I am when year 3 modules are so intense.&lt;br /&gt;But now, I started to get used to the pace and start being serious to what I am facing now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a lot of thing going on besides study, like internship.&lt;br /&gt;I was busying attending all kind of career talk without knowing what I want.&lt;br /&gt;That's the serious problem, i know.&lt;br /&gt;But on the other hand, through this career talk I also know that what kind of job is offering.&lt;br /&gt;I definitely will apply for some of the firms, but I am still unsure whether I am such capable.&lt;br /&gt;I am giving myself to build up my confidence and courage, at the end of this month, I will have the decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My life if becoming more and more monotonous.&lt;br /&gt;What I did for last semester? I went exchange, I nearly forgot that.&lt;br /&gt;My early blog posts were all about my travel but now I only talk about "stress", BORING!!!&lt;br /&gt;Life in LA and Singapore is so much extreme.&lt;br /&gt;Please, the world has enough tortune, give Singapore a break!&lt;br /&gt;I saw this on my friend's facebook status, PSLE is like UPSR in Malaysia:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;PSLE Maths sample question: "Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim’s sweets to chocolates became 1:7 and the ratio of Ken’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?"&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seriously, I read a few tims just to understand the question and I was totally clueless about the calculation.&lt;br /&gt;I didn't get the correct answer at my first try and still don't get it now.&lt;br /&gt;I am glad that I took UPSR.&lt;br /&gt;I miss the time where 'A' could shine in my report

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Merlion Roars'/><title type='text'>撑起</title><content type='html'>有两个礼拜没写blog了。&lt;br /&gt;其实两个礼拜也没有很久，但是最近的生活是忙到有时候我觉得一个星期就是等于一个月。&lt;br /&gt;好像上次才说有人找我参加case competition，我们这一组没有办法闯过初赛，初赛只不过是上上个礼拜的事了，不过我觉得case competition好像已经是上个月的事了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;刚刚过的周末，我就想写blog了，可是温习、功课似乎已经变成了我生活的主食，上网成了我主食中唯一的配菜。&lt;br /&gt;一天的时间，分配给上课、读书、做功课、上网和睡觉之外，似乎就所剩无几。&lt;br /&gt;上个周末，我们一家五个女生早上去了野餐，回来之后，一家五口居然全天都坐在书桌前念书。&lt;br /&gt;我觉得我们家像图书馆多过像一个家。&lt;br /&gt;上两个礼拜，我真的觉得很压力，念NUS两年了，以往有压力都会振作起来去面对，去告诉自己只要挨过了assignment和project的deadline，压力就没有了。&lt;br /&gt;但是这一次和过去的不一样，这种压力并不是因为截止日期要到了才有的压力，而是上课教授教得很快，很多东西只能听了重点，回家再慢慢把步骤搞清楚。&lt;br /&gt;除此之外，为了让下次上课能够对教授教的课比较有概念，上课前一天还要先做预习。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然后，星期日的时候，我早上醒来的时候，头脑好像被什么东西点醒了一下，我脑海中有一个很清醒的意识告诉我一个真相：这种压力不是你交了功课，或完成了project就会没有，这种压力是持续性，直到考完大考，直到大放假才会消失的压力。&lt;br /&gt;就这样，我很彻底地接受了这样的真相。&lt;br /&gt;我知道这样说会很奇怪，但是这已经不是我第一次有这样的经历，虽然我解释不出为什么，但是当有这种情形发生时，我会突然好像明白很多，很释怀，所发生的种种对我而言已经不重要，重要的是我已经有一个全新的态度来面对眼前的事物。&lt;br /&gt;所以，我已经不再去投诉我的课有多重，我的压力有多大，在肩上那千斤的压力已经从承受变成撑起。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

morale these few day.&lt;br /&gt;I was stressed by the case competition and the competition finally I had my preliminary round of presentation yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;Our group are unsure about the result, we give sound recommendations but the judges said that we should not update the case.&lt;br /&gt;We were all stunned after finish our presentation and the first comment that the judges gave was: you SHOULDN'T update the case.&lt;br /&gt;The case we get was from year 2003, who the f*cking idiot won't update the case?!&lt;br /&gt;The case is 6 years behind, anything could happen between this long period.&lt;br /&gt;If the case is not updated, i can just google what action did the company have taken and put it in our analysis.&lt;br /&gt;Whatever, I still think we made a good job.&lt;br /&gt;I just hope that the judges will look at how much effort we have put into reserch on the aftermath and we think about the future and not just after year 2003.&lt;br /&gt;We think ahead and not simply the short term strategy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't study much last week.&lt;br /&gt;Even though I attend class but all the time, I thought about the case.&lt;br /&gt;And one again, Options class is one of my major worry.&lt;br /&gt;Besides that, assignments and group projects are coming along.&lt;br /&gt;I seriously think that 24 hours are not enough for a year 3 student.&lt;br /&gt;Well, if you don't leisure and  sleep, probably you will make it.&lt;br /&gt;I am so thankful that at least I still have my DSC modules which are quite slack which allow me to put more attention on Finance modules.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FIGHT ON, Shu Ling!!!&lt;br /&gt;Goals to achieve this week:&lt;br /&gt;1. Research on GEM 2901 project&lt;br /&gt;2. Research on DSC projects&lt;br /&gt;3. Options textbook reading + assignment&lt;br /&gt;4.

3是完全不够用的。&lt;br /&gt;我还记得我year 2的时候，就觉得NUS的year 1和year 2之间的gap真的很大。&lt;br /&gt;我year 2的时候就觉得自己为什么在year 1的时候一直吵着自己很压力，year 1到底有什么好吵，上到year 2你才知道味道。&lt;br /&gt;可是现在我year 3了，终于明白，有一次，一个senior跟我说过，如果你觉year 1和year 2的gap很大，那么year 2跟year 3的gap更大。&lt;br /&gt;我现在真的是明明确确地感受到了，才开学第一个星期，我就觉得为什么我拿的那些module课程这么重，究竟是我拿的module太难，还是level 3000的module都是这么难。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最大的分别就是上课时间，本来两个小时lecture，一个小时tutorial，变成3个小时sectional teaching。&lt;br /&gt;有时候还是真的很难在3个小时里面都保持百分百的专注。&lt;br /&gt;可是偏偏level 3000的module不管什么时候，我都觉得教授在讲着很重要的东西，时刻分心不得。&lt;br /&gt;上课2个小时40分里面，时刻都要保持清醒，OMG，我怎么办得到。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这个学期拿的其中一个module是Options and Futures，没念Finance的人肯定不知道这个是什么东西。&lt;br /&gt;我建议你们去google或wiki看看，就算不了解它在讲什么，但是起码知道它是东西吧！&lt;br /&gt;我之前拿的时候还很开心，因为Options and Futures在金融界里扮演着一个很重要的角色，直到有senior问我这个学期拿什么module，我回答他说这个module，他一听马上大叫说，哗，这个module很难的wor！&lt;br /&gt;过后，当我去上它的第一堂课，我就知道，糟糕，这个不能玩玩，一定要认真的听课。&lt;br /&gt;而且，由于教授四个月前刚刚才从美国过来教书，这一个学期是他在NUS教书的第一个学期。&lt;br /&gt;虽然说他不懂NUS上课的方式，可是不管什么大学上课一定都是早15分钟放的啊，不然学生怎么赶去下一堂课。&lt;br /&gt;可是这个教授3个小时的课，上足2个小时50分，中间给你10分钟上厕所。&lt;br /&gt;而且这个教授的课，每一秒都在讲着很重要的东西，我今天只是稍微恍神了大概两分钟，shit，他接着讲的一个理论，我居然完全抓不到。&lt;br /&gt;而且也不能马上问隔壁的同学，因为教授又讲了新的东西，只好先学新的，过后再回来问同学。&lt;br /&gt;我只能会说，他的教学方式真的很美国，说了很多在lecture notes上面没有的东西，但是这些东西却有和lecture notes里面的东西息息相关，所以在上课和听课的同时，手还要不停的记notes。&lt;br /&gt;而美国教学方式就是教授虽然会给lecture notes，但都没有跟着lecture notes来教，不像local或中国的教授，lecture notes是跟着slide，一个一个走。&lt;br /&gt;美国的教授都是自己有自己的脚步，不管lecture notes上有什么，总是想到什么就说什么，所以总是觉得教授说了一大堆，却不懂把整幅图片拼起来，然而当你读lecture notes的时候，却发现lecture notes上讲的，其实教授在课堂上已经全部说过了。&lt;br /&gt;这也让我觉得，在上课前先把lecture notes复习是一个很重要的步骤。&lt;br /&gt;我一直在尝试，希望真的能够做到这样子，但是Options and Futures真的是一科很难的科目，当我在做课前复习的时候，我一边开着电脑，看到不懂的金融名词，就会google看，这个词在Finance里到底是指什么。&lt;br /&gt;我从来读书都没有这么勤力认真过，但是不读又无法明白。&lt;br /&gt;那个Options and Futures的教授很喜欢在课堂上用Bloomberg，这也是很美国的一个做法。&lt;br /&gt;美国的教授喜欢把课堂上当天所教的理论，立刻用Yahoo Finance或Bloomberg给你看看在现实世界中，这些理论是怎么被应用的。&lt;br /&gt;好当然是好，我又没说不好，但是一打开Bloomberg，我就真的晕头转向。&lt;br /&gt;第一，我对Bloomberg没有什么概念，只知道它是一个用来观察股市走向的工具。&lt;br /&gt;第二，教授大概以为我们对Bloomberg都很熟悉，每次我还没看到他所说标价，他就已经跳去下一个了。&lt;br /&gt;我才上了他两次的课，可是我上玩真的觉得很压力，尤其班上有些dean list的同学，每一次都迫不及待的回答问题或发问问题。&lt;br /&gt;我看见他们的手举起来，我就心寒，为什么他们说的东西我都不懂。&lt;br /&gt;我真的觉得即使是课前准备做得再好也不够。&lt;br /&gt;教授也说了，我们不能只是单靠课前复习他的lecture notes，还要时时刻刻留意商业新闻，尤其是美国、各地股市或者是Wall Street Journal。&lt;br /&gt;完了，完了，那些新闻是闷到爆，而且有时候他们用的字眼不是我们平常知道的意思。&lt;br /&gt;在Finance里，有些字是有finance专属的意思。&lt;br /&gt;有一些喜欢扮专业的商业报章就很喜欢拿这些字玩来玩去，害我都看不懂，要google或查The Free Dictionary才能够了解他到底要讲些什么。&lt;br /&gt;其实我真的已经很努力了，以前我看新闻都是去看马来西亚本地的新闻，但是我现在会去cnbc.com或bbc.co.uk，不想去FT或Business Times的原因是他们真的是写个专业的人看的，我看不懂。&lt;br /&gt;以前上着level 2000的课时，教授也会叫我们去看，但是那时候觉得不看也没关系，可是现在教授一说，我就会觉得，怎么办，我都没有那种阅报的习惯，心里真的很担心，也觉得自己真的比不上人家。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这是其中一个科目我严重认为我如果没有好好努力，就会fail的科目。&lt;br /&gt;才开学第二个星期就开始担心会fail，这个科目带给我的压力，真的是不是普通的大！&lt;br /&gt;而且，它也只不过是我其中一个科目而已，我还有其他的科目。&lt;br /&gt;但幸好其他的科目没有酱压力，不过也不轻松就对了。&lt;br /&gt;还有一个也是finance的module也同样要事前做好复习，不然上课的时候，虽然这个不像那个Options酱听不懂，但是教授会在课上发问问题，为了拿class participation的分，便要事前阅读相关的资料，不然到时你只能静静看别人举手回答。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然后，学校最近又有一个case competition，我朋友找我参加。&lt;br /&gt;虽然我也是很想参加那个比赛，但是我朋友告诉我说她是冲着finalist来得，我就觉得，哇，将我嘛就不可以玩玩。&lt;br /&gt;刚开始的时候我拒绝了她一次，可是她却很有诚意的叫我再考虑看看，她说她真的很想我能够加入，因为她觉得我是很适合的人选。&lt;br /&gt;被人家看得起当然好啦，但是我自己都不知道我到底有哪一方面让她觉得我很优秀。&lt;br /&gt;英文我写有没有她好，说也没有她好，我真的不懂她到底是认为我哪一点值得加入她的组。&lt;br /&gt;而且，我那个朋友本身已经是dean lister，她找来的另两个组员居然也是dean lister。&lt;br /&gt;晕，我的CAP连4.0都没有（满分5.0，dean list 4.2以上）。&lt;br /&gt;我真的很怀疑我自己究竟是不是有这样的能力，能够在这么出色的组员中也表现出水准相当的能力。&lt;br /&gt;我虽然没有正式拒绝她，但是也没有正式接受她的邀请。&lt;br /&gt;然后她就说不如我们四个人见个面，看对方是不是自己所要找的组员，彼此认识一下。&lt;br /&gt;我就觉得这样也好，看一下其他人怎样，再决定要不要。&lt;br /&gt;怎么知道，我们那天见面过后，其中一个提议决定组名，结果我就这样加入了他们的组，参加了这个比赛。&lt;br /&gt;其实我朋友真的说得没错，我们参加这个比赛，如果是进入半决赛的话，那么将来把这个成就写在我们的resume上，是很让我们的resume stand out。&lt;br /&gt;我承认在这里我是有点私心啦。&lt;br /&gt;其实，儿儿也知道，我连参加课外活动都是为了要让我的resume比较好看。&lt;br /&gt;你可以看不起我，觉得我很现实，但是不管我是为了什么而参与，一旦我参加了，我一定会全力以赴地做，不会因为我的目的而有所保留。&lt;br /&gt;所以，以我的成绩，如果我是和跟我差不多的人参加的话，我是不可能能够在比赛中脱颖而出的。&lt;br /&gt;但是，如果跟他们这批聪明种一起参加的话，我不管怎么样都是获利的那个。&lt;br /&gt;然而，我心里有对自己很没自信，觉得自己是否做了正确的选择，自己究竟有没有哪种一触即发的爆发力，能够成为组里面一个asset。&lt;br /&gt;我之前虽然有和这个朋友在一起做过project，但是我真的是抓破头脑，也想不到我究竟哪一方面留下印象。&lt;br /&gt;我曾经向她提议一个另一个也是属于聪明种的朋友，但是她却说我的做事方式更为让她感到舒服，所以她就决定要和我一起参与。&lt;br /&gt;或许在做project的时候，我真的有优秀的地方，但是我很多时候都觉得自己是个很幸运的人。&lt;br /&gt;就是那种当project遇到瓶颈时，我总是有灵光一闪，然后就想到解决方法的那种能力。&lt;br /&gt;但是我不是每一次都很幸运，而且参加比赛不像做group project，时间是很短促的，比赛过程里抗压性要很高，而且临场表现和机智也是很重要的一个要素。&lt;br /&gt;也许我从来都没有参与过这样的比赛，所以我也不知道我能不能应付得了。&lt;br /&gt;这不像以前我参加文学创作比赛，起码写作是我有信心的一部分，我知道我的作品在校内使保持了一个怎样的纪录。&lt;br /&gt;但是这种比赛我不但缺乏经验，连成绩上我也没有出色的表现，因此我真的很担心我会不会因此成了他们的累赘。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;天啊，我真的是越来越压力，除了课业上的压力，比赛下个星期开始，我现在就开始在担心了。&lt;br /&gt;我心里一直告诉自己，不要想这么多，比赛是一组人的事，不是一个人的事。而且比赛也才维持两个星期，即使压力也只不过是这两个星期的事。&lt;br /&gt;但是，不管我怎么安慰我自己，我还是觉得很不安，很担心自己的表现害了整组人……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;怎么办，我觉得我的精神好像很不够用，要兼顾的东西太多，要达成的东西太多，我的能力到底能够去到哪里？&lt;br /&gt;我需要一些支持……&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-2602241663510428322?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com'

/&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;HOORAY, Bizad wins again on NUS Rag &amp;amp; Flag 2009!!!&lt;br /&gt;Congrats to Bizad Rag Comm, aka TEAM BRAG.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I was a ragger for last year Rag.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Helping out in rag last week reminded me a lot of wonderful memories I have for last summer.&lt;br /&gt;This year, going back as a senior, I feel honoured that I am considered as an asset and not a liability for the rag comm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am glad that I am be able to contribute to the float and spent some quality time with my junior.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;This year, bizad has the float which is somehow different from the traditional float that we had.&lt;br /&gt;We are lucky to have some engineers who worked on the mechanical stuff so that this year bizad finally utilizes some techonology on the float.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As compare to traditional paper mache technique that seniors pass down generation by generation, this year team brag imitate some hall mache technique.&lt;br /&gt;We tried to use spoons, egg trays, wheel rib, CDs etc to mache.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Appulse to the intricacy comm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Float this year is themed as a flying ship inspired by final fantasy.&lt;br /&gt;This is also something different that we tried for the past few years.&lt;br /&gt;We always build the float before we mount our float to lorry and lastly we will build a huge box to cover the lorry head.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But instead of doing this, rag comm this year decided to mount part of the float on lorry and the other half of the ship body will cover the lorry head.&lt;br /&gt;So, the lorry is now being convert in to one big flying ship and the lorry head is wisely hide in the ship.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I love their design this year, it looks simply amazing and impressive!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;For the result part, as usual, bizad won a few shields from Flag event.&lt;br /&gt;We thought we will win Best Float design but the prize goes to University Scholar Club (USC). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Before the event started, I walked around and see how other faculties design their floats.&lt;br /&gt;Bizad is one of the potential winnera for the best float design.&lt;br /&gt;Not I am bias, but USC really doesn't deserve the prize.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To be honest, I don't think their float is nice and I don't agree with the judges.&lt;br /&gt;We couldn't win any prize for Rag event, neither Science Fac.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Science Fac, for some reasons that I don't know, is the rivalry faculty for bizad.&lt;br /&gt;We really create intense relationship among these 2 fac during rag period.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We don't care who win the prize if we don't win, but the prize just can't go to science.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Haha&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;As what we always done, bizad won the overall champion again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This year, NUSSU have to give us a new shield because after five years consecutive winning of the shield, bizad has kept one in its faculty, forever.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;GOOD JOB, team brag!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a

/&gt;但是经历过最近这两天所发生的事，我真的相信中国现在的小孩子在一胎政策下，真的是被宠到出汁！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;话说我们学院有一批学生将在8月念完书，念完书之后就要去实习6个月。&lt;br /&gt;因为他们学的是酒店及旅游管理，所以我的同事最近都一直在联络餐饮业或者是酒店，问看对方肯不肯给他们一个面试的机会。&lt;br /&gt;我们的学院规模不算大，所以有很多时候是人家刚好要请人，我们又联络上，对方才会接见那些学生。&lt;br /&gt;而且，你们都知道新加坡出名严的拉，最近因为金融风暴的关系，新加坡政府已经停止发放working permit，所以他们能不能打工，还要看那些餐馆酒店有没有working permit的quota。&lt;br /&gt;所以说，也不是说对方要人，你有人，就可以找到实习。&lt;br /&gt;而是除了这个之外，还要看对方有没有quota帮那些学生申请working permit。&lt;br /&gt;好不容易，我的同事在联络了好几家之后，终于有一家各方面都可以配合的，而对方要求隔天下午就要面试。&lt;br /&gt;我的同事当然就是马上答应啦，难道雇主要求面试，你还跟他推搪咩。&lt;br /&gt;谁知道，当我们打电话通知那些学生说明天下午你们要去面试的时候，他们一个个呱呱叫，说没有心理准备，可以不要去吗。&lt;br /&gt;我的同事听了虽然没有表现出来，但她的脸马上变掉。&lt;br /&gt;但是面试的时间都已经约好了，总不能说改就改，而且那些学生星期五就回中国度假2个星期，要安排下一个面试的话，就必须等到八月中了。&lt;br /&gt;所以我的同事就叫我跟那些学生说，因为我同事是菲律宾人，说英文的，而那些学生是中国来的，讲华语的。&lt;br /&gt;然后就变成我跟他们通过电话讲，他们给的借口我听了都觉得他们真的是一群思想未成熟的小孩子。第一个借口，他们的行李已经打包好了，不能再把formal的衣服拿出来。&lt;br /&gt;第二个借口，他们已经计划好，隔天下午要去shopping，买东西回去给家人，不能去面试。&lt;br /&gt;第三个借口，他们星期五就要回中国了，不能去面试。&lt;br /&gt;我听了真的是觉得，OMG，怎么会有这样的人。&lt;br /&gt;行李拿出来也是两条衣而已啦，要收回去很麻烦咩？！好像我没有收拾过行李酱。&lt;br /&gt;第二个更不用讲，shopping比面试重要，我真的是无言。&lt;br /&gt;第三个，我们约的时间是星期四下午三点，飞机是星期五的，你会回不到中国咩。&lt;br /&gt;你以为面试官酱喜欢你，面试完还留你过夜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然后那些学生就一个轮着一个讲，把电话传来传去，我都不懂我究竟跟谁讲过话。&lt;br /&gt;其中有一个还说：我们现在还没有心理准备，如果就这样叫我们去，我们明天表现失水准，学院是不是不会怪我们。&lt;br /&gt;那个女生说话的语气我真的是顶不顺，所以我也就坦白的跟她讲：你现在是不是在威胁我，如果你明天再面试的时候故意表现不好，导致一些不好的后果，学院也不可以怪你呢？&lt;br /&gt;她大概没想到我会这么坦白的把她的意思表露出来，说：我不是这个意思。然后就把电话传给下一个人。&lt;br /&gt;还有一个整天就说，为什么学院没有早一点通知，上次说是下个月才开始面试的，为什么马上突然改明天。&lt;br /&gt;我说小姐，你以为全世界像你酱什么都不用做，等你下个月有空的时候才跟你面试啊！&lt;br /&gt;这个世界天天都在变，今天跟你讲下个月，明天改下一秒也是没有罪的啦。&lt;br /&gt;而且很多时候，面试就是人家今天决定要面试你，就叫你明天来。&lt;br /&gt;你以为人家跟你一样大把时间挥霍啊，面试也要约一个月以后，人家这一分钟可能还想见你，下一分钟可能已经请倒其他愿意马上来面试的人了。&lt;br /&gt;当然这些话我都没说，只是跟她解释这是对方约的时间，我们也无能为力。&lt;br /&gt;最后，总算都搞定了，他们同意去面试。&lt;br /&gt;为了跟他们讲电话，害我多OT半个钟，去到地铁站的时候不得了，连挤都挤不上。&lt;br /&gt;5点半和6点差半个小时，但是地铁的差别真的是天与地！！！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;你以为事情就这样圆满结束了对不对，我告诉你你错了。&lt;br /&gt;今天我回到办公室的第一件事，就看到我们教授的老婆，我们叫她院长发给我们的邮件。&lt;br /&gt;原来那批学生昨天晚上打电话给教授，我们教授刚好这个礼拜到中国出差，所以那些学生是为了面试这件事打长途电话给教授。&lt;br /&gt;他们跟教授说他们没有心理准备，不想因为这样而浪费掉一个面试的机会，所以想要不去。&lt;br /&gt;更可怕的是，我们教授居然说OK。&lt;br /&gt;我真的不敢相信，我们昨天为了这一件小事说了这么久，我们的教授居然可以用一通电话就搞定。&lt;br /&gt;我的眼睛看到那个电邮的时候差一点要掉出来，而我那个同事到办公室的时候，我和师兄就一直叫她要冷静。&lt;br /&gt;她还说今天早上她等了5分钟才等到电梯，我就跟她说：放心，电梯不会是你今天遇到最差的事。&lt;br /&gt;当她看到电邮的时候，简直就不敢相信。&lt;br /&gt;而且我们的教授大概以为跟他们沟通很容易，居然就叫我们跟那些学生说，今天不用去面试没问题，但是要提早一个星期从中国回来，教授安排如何准备面试的讲座给他们。&lt;br /&gt;哈哈，说得容易，他们连几个小时的shopping都不肯放弃去面试，你以为他们会放弃1个星期的假期，回来听讲座。&lt;br /&gt;我们三个职员不用问就已经知道结果了，肯定是假期照放，面试照不用去。&lt;br /&gt;我的两个同事都跟他们谈不拢，最后院长出马，也是谈不成。&lt;br /&gt;而且院长和他们说的时候，他们还趁机打小报告，说我昨天跟他们讲话很凶。&lt;br /&gt;拜托，我是用我在马来西亚那种语气跟他们说话而已，最多是使用不纯正的华语来讲话而已。&lt;br /&gt;如果这种较凶，那整个马来西亚的华人都很凶！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他们的借口真的是千变万化，无穷无尽。&lt;br /&gt;说什么机票不能换啦，可是我们院长亲自打电话去的时候，那个航空公司说可以换，而且如果是换去八月1、2、4号的话，不用加钱。&lt;br /&gt;说什么已经和在中国家人约好，和朋友约好，不能改拉。&lt;br /&gt;屁，说到尾，你们就是什么都不想做，面试不想去，假期不想改。&lt;br /&gt;所以，这件事到最后，他们赢罗！&lt;br /&gt;而且我同事打电话跟原本要面试他们的雇主时，我同事告诉我对方应该也是很生气，因为全程都只有她在说话，对方只是嗯嗯啊啊，就关电话料。&lt;br /&gt;如果我是雇主的话，我当然是生气啦，下一次再约个时间面试？鸟你都傻！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;对了，我说了这么久我一直都还没有说到他们几岁对吗。&lt;br /&gt;他们总共有6个人，有3个是87年出世，2个88，1个89。&lt;br /&gt;最起码都有20岁，20岁的人还表现到好像小孩子酱。&lt;br /&gt;那些89的我不要讲，刚刚转20岁可能还不适应当大人。&lt;br /&gt;可是那些87、88的，今年都21、22岁了，难道还不知道什么事应该放第一位，什么事应该放第二位咩！&lt;br /&gt;而且带头讲话的人，就是那个威胁我的人就是22岁的女生。&lt;br /&gt;22岁人，早念书的都已经出来社会工作料，难道还有像你们酱啊，为了shopping可以推掉一个工作机会。&lt;br /&gt;不过他们这种性格有一半不是他们的错，是他们的父母、周围的环境导致他们认为整个世界唯我独尊。&lt;br /&gt;他们的家境都是蛮有钱的，就是那种书念的不是很好，在中国考不上一本的大学，但是惨就惨在爸爸妈妈有钱，可以让他们到新加坡来，浑一个本科毕业（就是我们所说的大学学士），海外大学文凭回去中国，将来起码还是一个海外留学的外国留学生。&lt;br /&gt;我不是讲说我们学院的教育不好，只是如果跟那种用成绩进的大学，如NUS、NTU比，我们学院真的是不能比。&lt;br /&gt;而我也觉得我们教授不应该这么好说话，什么都顺从他们，他们只会觉得下次要是还遇到什么不顺心的事，只要吵一吵，就要什么有什么。&lt;br /&gt;而且，教授这样做，不也是间接地告诉他们，以后学院里的老师（那些学生把我们这些职员都叫老师）有什么命令都不是最后的决定，你们高兴就听，不高兴还可以再找教授谈。&lt;br /&gt;而且那些学生的心态也真的是极度有问题，take everything for granted, not appreciate for what the staff have done for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我真的很想告诉那些学生，你们如果继续保持这种心态，很快就会比新加坡淘汰。&lt;br /&gt;新加坡一年有多少个人涌进来，想要赚新币，比你们聪明的有，比你们勤力的有，英文说的比你们好的也有，新加坡的雇主永远都不怕请不到人。&lt;br /&gt;面试永远都是雇主说几时间面就几时见面，没有说给你一个月心理准备，一个月后我们来面试。&lt;br /&gt;在新加坡这种讲效率的国家，你如果不能做到随时准备好，那么就请你回去中国，回去你熟悉的地方，回去那个面试会给一个月通知的地方。&lt;br /&gt;这个working permit你不要，大把人抢着要，你以为你的文凭很吃香啊，人家也是希望请一个一个月才600新币的员工，现在这种时候，不管什么东西，能省一点就省一点。&lt;br /&gt;不然你以为教授为什么要请我这个临时工，我只做一个月，走了之后又要重新训练一个，而且教授给的工作都是那种长期都需要有人做的工作，但是我的薪水一个月才800新币，这个月省下1000新币，有好过没有。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;套用周星驰的一句话：地球是很危险的，你赶快回火星吧！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;而且一开始电力还不算强，但自从上个星期就有越来越强的趋向。&lt;br /&gt;起初的时候，我只有在要转开门把，或者是走路靠近公司cubical的墙壁上的铁板时才会被电到。&lt;br /&gt;到了后来有一次，我向同事借胶擦，要还给她的时候，明明胶擦都不是金属，但我们两个还是传电了，我电到她，然后我自己也被电到。&lt;br /&gt;还有一次，世兄要用我的电脑找东西，我让位给他的时候，我也电到他了。&lt;br /&gt;更夸张的一次，我上厕所要锁门的时候，因为那个所是铁的，也被电到了。&lt;br /&gt;厕所的温度都没有办公室酱冷，也能被电到，我真的是服了我自己!&lt;br /&gt;都不懂为什么我自己身体里收这么多电。&lt;br /&gt;最后因为受不了，我就在msn上面写说：总有一天我会被静电电死。&lt;br /&gt;然后，教授就问我，为什么我在msn上面这样写，我就跟他解释说我每天被电电到。&lt;br /&gt;他皱起眉头，说你这个这样写，不好，改掉。华人不喜欢把“死”这个字挂在嘴边。&lt;br /&gt;死料罗，哎呀，不是，是惨料罗，我在“普通”讲话的时候整天都把“死”挂在嘴边。&lt;br /&gt;比如，热到要死，这个一天起码讲几次。&lt;br /&gt;“普通”的意思就是我在马来西亚讲的那种话，在公司里面我都是用中国华语来讲话的。&lt;br /&gt;没办法，教授的华语讲得字正腔圆，所以我也是用很正式的那种。&lt;br /&gt;虽然我还是觉得我们马来西亚的华语比较亲切！！！&lt;br /&gt;然后这个星期，我就已经被电到怕，现在如果经过cubical的时候，尽量离那些铁板一段距离。&lt;br /&gt;而门把，如果有穿外套，就把袖子拉到手掌那里，隔着外套开门。不然就是先试一试看有没有静电才开。&lt;br /&gt;结果？结果当然是我被电的次数减少了，虽然偶尔还是会被电到，但是比起之前两个星期，一天起码电三次，现在两三天才电一次，已经算是非常改善的了。&lt;div

something to do with my gen cause my mom is extremely excellent in baking chinese cake. (She even knows how to bake mooncake!!!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was craving to bake something since yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;But as my bro doesn't have an oven in Singapore, I couldn't bake.&lt;br /&gt;:((((((((&lt;br /&gt;Then I discovered Nutella and banana on the dining table.&lt;br /&gt;So I decided to make some french crepes.&lt;br /&gt;Is making french crepes counted as baking???&lt;br /&gt;I don't know and I don't care, I just feel like making something sweeeeeeet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found a recipe from allrecipes.com.&lt;br /&gt;The reasons I like allrecipes.com are:&lt;br /&gt;1. the recipes are always taste-good guaranteed, I have been using it for my Cupcakes, Snickerdoodles and Japanese Cheesecake.&lt;br /&gt;2. the ingredients always come in right portion, I don't have to modify it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After getting all the ingredients that I need from FairPrice, I started to make the batter.&lt;br /&gt;The batter took only 10 minutes to prepare but I used more than one hour to transform the raw ingredients to finished products.&lt;br /&gt;The cooking process took me one hour, with only one frying pan and low heat, the thin as paper crepres are really testing my patience.&lt;br /&gt;Well, the result is......the french crepe is so so so delicious~~~&lt;br /&gt;I topped the crepe with strawberry, banana, kiwi, nutella and cream cheese. Wonderful!&lt;br /&gt;Of course the recipe reserves a credit but I think a good cook is also a must. LOL&lt;br /&gt;I love my crepes, I made the perfect "thin-as-paper", hoho, i am so proud of myself~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the link to the recipe that I use in case you want to try it by yourself.: &lt;a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Regular-Crepes/Detail.aspx"&gt;http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Regular-Crepes/Detail.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a real simple recipe that I think anyone who has some basic cooking knowledge would be able to make the yummy crepe.&lt;br /&gt;And here are some of the cooking tips that I discovered when I was cooking:&lt;br /&gt;1. Use some butter for the first crepe, after that you don't really need to add in any butter or oil for the remaining crepes.&lt;br /&gt;2. Use low heat to avoid scorch.&lt;br /&gt;3. Each crepe uses approximately 2 minutes to cook, flip over and cook for another 1 minute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And last but not least, the photos~~~&lt;a

/&gt;她们的父亲用了最真诚的文字，把想要对女儿说的话，一笔一画地写在书里，他们对女儿的爱不只在他们父女之间川流着，也透过书本的发行，远远地传到了每一位读者的手中。&lt;br /&gt;而我羡慕他们的，不是因为她们有一个爱她们的父亲，而是她们与父亲之间文字的交流。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我喜欢阅读，这是不容置疑的，而我也同样喜欢写作。&lt;br /&gt;在写作的路上，我父亲对我的态度是百分之百的支持。&lt;br /&gt;从起初，我会因为感到害羞而不让他们阅读我的作品，到后来一写完之后恨不得马上让他们阅读。&lt;br /&gt;由于我父亲母亲都不是文笔很好的人，有时候他们能给我的意见其实是有限的。&lt;br /&gt;而我也时常在想，如果我有一位有实力的指导老师，那么我的写作水平会不会比现在的更好。&lt;br /&gt;我一直都没有遇到这样的一位老师。&lt;br /&gt;在我写作的路上，我感激的是我小时学时期，让我喜欢华文，喜欢写作，让我相信我能够透过文字创造奇迹的黄彩云老师，她同时也是我小学四至六年级的级任老师。&lt;br /&gt;自此以后，我都没有遇到一位能够真正与其交流文学的老师。&lt;br /&gt;然而，透过我本身喜欢阅读的嗜好，我的作品还是常常在比赛中获奖。&lt;br /&gt;其中让我自豪的2007年的过的花踪奖。&lt;br /&gt;2007年距今已过了两年，这两年里我不但没有写过其他作品，也因为学业及环境的关系，用英语的时间比用华语的时间。&lt;br /&gt;我这两年间的变化，我自己的感受是很明显的，我相信我的朋友们也是。&lt;br /&gt;从不太敢说英语，到现在说话时以尽可以自我克制不出现Manglish或Singlish。&lt;br /&gt;以前说英文的时候，脑子先是想华语再翻译英语，到现在英语直接蹦出来。&lt;br /&gt;开始听英语歌，留意西洋乐坛的走向，对于一些喜爱的英语歌曲朗朗上口。&lt;br /&gt;有时候在说话的时候，一些字句用英文说比用华语说更容易。&lt;br /&gt;英语已经渐渐地成为我生活的一部分，但是华语呢？&lt;br /&gt;华语虽然不至于退步得连方块字都不会看，但是文笔相比起从前的确是差了很多。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;话题好像聊远了。&lt;br /&gt;其实我想说的是，我在花踪之后就一直没有写作，其中一部分的原因是生活太忙碌，本身太懒惰。&lt;br /&gt;但是另一方面，我也认为如果我有一位会时不时鞭策我的导师的话，那么也许我就不会“堕落”成现在这个样子！&lt;br /&gt;而在再这个点与我开头时所说的刘墉和小野联系在一起的话，那我大概的意思就是说：&lt;br /&gt;我觉得我自己在写作上需要一位能够知道我及鼓励我的导师，而这个导师最好就是我的父亲。&lt;br /&gt;马来西亚有一家中文报，它的副刊里有一个专栏，是同时刊登一对作家父女的文章。&lt;br /&gt;有时候会是同样的课题，不同的焦点，也有时候会是两篇完全互不相关的文章。&lt;br /&gt;我一直很羡慕能够与另一个人有这样的“游戏”，不管这个人是不是父亲或兄弟或姐妹或朋友。&lt;br /&gt;而除了这个原因，究竟有一个作家爸爸或文学家爸爸还有其他什么好处呢？&lt;br /&gt;我刚刚说过了，我喜欢阅读。&lt;br /&gt;阅读的另一种乐趣就是，和朋友或家人共同读了一本好书，可以一同分享书中的起承转合。&lt;br /&gt;这和看电视剧、看电影是一样的，看到好笑的情节，总是要和其他人一起哄堂大笑，那么欢乐才会加倍。&lt;br /&gt;所以，如果父亲也是一个爱书之人，那么父亲会介绍孩子值得一读的书籍，而孩子在阅读完毕之后，也可以和父亲一起交流意见，可是多么风雅的事情！&lt;br /&gt;好吧，也许我对于文人书生攀风附雅之事有着某种程度的痴迷。&lt;br /&gt;而除了以上这两个原因之外，我还可以为我自己找到第三个原因。&lt;br /&gt;我喜欢聪明的男生。&lt;br /&gt;虽然喜欢阅读和懂得写作并不能代表一个人的智商。&lt;br /&gt;但是喜欢阅读的人，总得有那么一点智慧吧。&lt;br /&gt;而写作更不用说了，我相信不会有不阅读文章也写得很好的人。&lt;br /&gt;所以综合以上种种原因，你现在大概可以明白为什么我这么羡慕作家的小孩了吧！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;如果我现在告诉你，我的文章写到这里，还不算进入我今天要说的主题，你会不会就此放弃读完这篇文章的耐性？&lt;br /&gt;我希望你不会。&lt;br /&gt;我工作的上司是一个中国教授，除了是教书授课的教授之外，还是那种会对人文课题进行研究的学者型教授。&lt;br /&gt;而更重要的是教授喜欢看书，办公室里一柜子一柜子的都是他的书。&lt;br /&gt;虽然大多数的是都是商业战略的书籍，但是我认识的人之中，只有他的形象最接近我一直以来不断刻画的“作家爸爸”。&lt;br /&gt;教授肯定是聪明的，教授喜欢阅读，教授会不会鞭策他人写作我不知道，但是教授是博士班的论文导师，换句话说教授在某种方面还是指导人家“写作”的。&lt;br /&gt;工作时，我是带着谦卑的态度来学习，教授说话时认真的听，教授嘱咐的工作认真的做。&lt;br /&gt;虽然还没有到和教授一起交流阅读心得的程度，但是教授给人一种严厉而慈祥的感觉，是我觉得如果父亲是一位作家的话，那么和父亲相处便就是如现在这样的感觉。&lt;br /&gt;听起来不错，看起来也不错，但是真的不错吗？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;才工作大概两个星期，我就知道也许“作家爸爸”并不如我想象中的美好。&lt;br /&gt;教授主要的工作当然就是教书嘛，所以不知不觉中，教授对于工作的下属也同样地以学生看待。&lt;br /&gt;交待工作时不只把该吩咐的吩咐，连背后的原因也会和你解释的一清二楚。&lt;br /&gt;就如同教书一样，一定把每条理论都让你了解到晶莹剔透了，才放手让你去做。&lt;br /&gt;你知道你现在肯定糊涂了，不知道我现在是在褒还是在贬。&lt;br /&gt;用一句现代的话说就是：我觉得教授有点罗嗦。&lt;br /&gt;都说是教授，口水本来比一般人多。&lt;br /&gt;有时候说着说着，我就会有怎么还没说完的感觉。&lt;br /&gt;而且不懂为什么，当教授吩咐工作的时候，总是觉得这份工作不难呀，指导真正执行起来才会觉得怎么这个和刚刚说到那个有点不一样。&lt;br /&gt;这就让我想起了平时上课的时候，明明老师教的东西我都看得明白，怎么考试的时候又好像是另一回事了。&lt;br /&gt;我有时也会想象，要是做错了事，站着听教授爸爸循循善诱，肯定比被普通爸爸乱打一通还要痛苦。&lt;br /&gt;听教训时，不只要在适当的时候哼哈几声，脸上更要挂着“我知错了”的表情，以免教授爸爸觉得你死不悔改，越说越多，如洪水般一发不可收拾。&lt;br /&gt;而被普通爸爸乱打就简单多了，你可以大喊，可以大叫，绝对是一哭二闹三“乱跳”的戏码。&lt;br /&gt;而且乱打说穿了就是谁的体力好谁获胜的游戏，普通爸爸打得精疲力尽时，给爸爸倒杯茶，爸爸肯定会觉得你这个孩子还是心地善良的。&lt;br /&gt;但是如果是听教训的话，要是教授爸爸一时兴起，给你留下1000个字的悔过书作业，那就不得了了。&lt;br /&gt;写得好，教授爸爸觉得是应该的：写得不好，教授爸爸就会觉得怎么你这个孩子到现在还不知悔改，说不定又给你一顿训示了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我好像写了很多我原本就没打算写的东西，其实我也觉得我写得满罗嗦的。&lt;br /&gt;总之，我想说的就是，我有点了解我一直以来认为的“作家爸爸”或“文学家爸爸”的现实。&lt;br /&gt;也许“教授爸爸”和“作家爸爸”以及“文学家爸爸”的形象还是有所偏差的。&lt;br /&gt;但是以我所认知的形象而言，“教授爸爸”似乎是我所接触到最接近“作家爸爸”和“文学家爸爸”的人物。&lt;br /&gt;也让我从此清醒，这些我所崇拜的爸爸类型其实可能都不是我所想象中的有趣的爸爸。&lt;br /&gt;然而，不管我爸爸是哪一种类型的爸爸，他无可否认地是我最爱以及最爱我的爸爸。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

true.&lt;br /&gt;Life in Singapore is duller than Malaysia, especially when you don't have car, it just too "ma fan" to get around.&lt;br /&gt;Public transportation? I don't feel like taking any MRT rides after I squeeze like sardine every morning on my way to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yup, I found a job, work as a temparary admin clerk for a private collage.&lt;br /&gt;My working life?&lt;br /&gt;My office is always quiet, and I get shock everytime the phone rings....&lt;br /&gt;I only have two colleagues, is a small collage with just three people excluding my boss in the office.&lt;br /&gt;That's why it's always quiet, people don't talk when they work, don't they!&lt;br /&gt;The work I do are mostly paper work, like typing, filling, looking after some accounting matters.&lt;br /&gt;Not those professional jobs, there is nothing related to my finance expertise.&lt;br /&gt;O ya, there is something interesting about my office.&lt;br /&gt;I have a colleague who graduated from NUS, so he is my senior.&lt;br /&gt;My boss "forces" me to call him "师兄".&lt;br /&gt;Whenever my boss talks about him, he will use "你的师兄".&lt;br /&gt;And when he refers me in front of him, he uses "师妹". fair enough.&lt;br /&gt;I think my boss can be our "师傅", then we will be in a WuXia flim. Haha!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any excitement about my worklife?&lt;br /&gt;Not really, but there are a few when I walk from home to MRT to work or from work to MRT to home.&lt;br /&gt;One day, when I was transferring from purple line to green line, I realized I was walking behind a super sexy guy.&lt;br /&gt;That guy wore a short exercise pants, exposing his athletic legs and thighs, not too hairy kind.&lt;br /&gt;And that pair of legs just sexy, when they are in a really healthy tanned colour.&lt;br /&gt;I even tried to follow him, just to get another glimpse of his legs.&lt;br /&gt;I know, I sound like a pervert...but hey, if man can enjoy looking at women's boobs, why can't women do the same???&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps I shouldn't say he is a sexy guy as I not really saw his face.&lt;br /&gt;Ok, correction: He has super sexy legs. Haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And today, when I was walking to the MRT station, I heard a student told his friends, I smell like sushi.&lt;br /&gt;I was like, what????&lt;br /&gt;His friends answered, No, you don't smell like a sushi.&lt;br /&gt;And he insisted, I SMELL like SUSHI.&lt;br /&gt;I wonder what he trying to said, he is fishy or what???&lt;br /&gt;That's a hilarious one.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-6864713037462066343?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/6864713037462066343/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/07/update-from-singapore.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/6864713037462066343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/6864713037462066343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/07/update-from-singapore.html' title='Update from Singapore'/><author><name>shuling</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/Se-1eUnqG7I/AAAAAAAAAA0/5jFfm-KSdIg/S220/pic4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-6096778338797122760</id><published>2009-07-05T00:05:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-07-05T00:19:53.609+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spice of Life'/><title type='text'>Be Nice and Act Normally</title><content type='html'>I found myself super annoying for these few months.&lt;br /&gt;I alsways complain on something.&lt;br /&gt;I become so fussy and sometimes i just hate that why I'd to act like this.&lt;br /&gt;What's wrong with me?&lt;br /&gt;What'd happened to me?&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't like this before, at least wasn't like this before I went to US.&lt;br /&gt;What'd happen in US made me into such a bitchy girl?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I criticized on most of the things that I seen.&lt;br /&gt;It doesn't matter whether the thing is actually bad or it just doesn't appeal to me.&lt;br /&gt;I told my bro not to wear brown shirts cause he looks terrible in that colour.&lt;br /&gt;I asked my dad why he keep buying the shirts that made him looks older.&lt;br /&gt;I laughed at my mum's hair cause her hair style is ugly.&lt;br /&gt;I even tried to teach my sister-in-law to drive cause I found her is driving too slow on the road.&lt;br /&gt;What else didn't pissed me?&lt;br /&gt;There must be something wrong with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to be nice starting from now.&lt;br /&gt;Not criticise on the things I don't like, try to bear with it, try to just ignore it.&lt;br /&gt;For the sake of god, don't be such a mean girl, Shu Ling!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-6096778338797122760?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/6096778338797122760/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/07/be-nice-and-act-normally.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/6096778338797122760'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/6096778338797122760'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/07/be-nice-and-act-normally.html' title='Be Nice and Act Normally'/><author><name>shuling</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/Se-1eUnqG7I/AAAAAAAAAA0/5jFfm-KSdIg/S220/pic4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-311381703186824858</id><published>2009-06-26T13:30:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-26T13:45:55.142+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Origin'/><title type='text'>I feel lazy...

Tinggi的更大间。夸张到。。。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我看槟城都是走“小巧可爱”的路线。&lt;br /&gt;最夸张的是去Mid Valley看戏，我在这边看戏从来不用排队买票，即使有队排，也不过是三、四个人而已。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;那边排队排到好像有免费的礼物派酱，我朋友说每到周末整个吉隆坡的人都会去Mid Valley看戏，我真的相信。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;在Mid Valley也和满堂见了面，很开心，很久没有看到他了。&lt;br /&gt;他也介绍一些新朋友给我认识，哈哈，他的中国朋友还蛮可爱的。&lt;br /&gt;那天吃了超多东西，几乎每两个小时就有东西放进嘴巴。&lt;br /&gt;下午两点吃午饭，过后就到Starbuck喝咖啡，六点不到，因为有人肚子饿，我们就去吃晚餐。&lt;br /&gt;我回到槟城时是半夜三点，还是觉得很饱，恐怖到~~~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不过这一次云顶和吉隆坡游，吃最饱的不是这一次，而是在云顶的自助餐。&lt;br /&gt;那一次比这一次更恐怖，连隔天睡醒，也觉得饱。&lt;br /&gt;每次都暴饮暴食，我觉得我人生极度不健康，生活极度不环保。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;在吉隆坡买了两本书，一本是翻译书《三杯茶》，一本是英文书《The Brutal Art》。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;这两本书的故事呢，我留在下一篇讲，这个post的语气不太适合说这么“认真”的话题。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;哈哈，反正是两本好书，现在如果没有上网或褒剧的话，就会看书。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;（终于多了一些其他“有益身心”的事做！！！）&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;昨天是爸爸的生日，我做了两种cookies给他，一种是普通的chocolate chip cookie，另一种是snicker doodle。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不懂是不是recipe的问题，这两种cookie做出来都很甜，虽然没有甜到不能入口的境界，不过还是比我家一般的饮食习惯甜。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;所以最后，这两种cookies都拿去给店里的工人吃，我们只留下几块，意思意思而已。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不过，我打算我生日前一晚，再做多一次snicker doodle。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;因为snicker doodle比较容易做，而且我觉得在马来西亚应该也比较少吃得到，所以拿来请朋友吃，应该是蛮有诚意的。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而昨晚的晚餐，我们也去吃了“好料”。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;呵呵，昨晚是我人生中第一次吃Alaska Crab和Geoduck(象拔蚌)。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;象拔蚌没有想象中的美味，所以如果给分的话，我只会给两颗星。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Geoduck好像除了拿来做sashimi之外，就没有什么煮发了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;因为我们吃的时候，店家除了以sashimi的方式呈现之外，还给了我们一锅药材汤。&lt;br /&gt;如果不想吃生的话，就把sashimi放入汤里去涮。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;但是算了之后，象拔蚌的肉变得很硬，失去嚼劲，连它本身的味道也被药材味盖过。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;所以，吃象拔蚌，我还是觉得吃sashimi比较好吃。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;但是Alaska Crab就不同了，真的很美味。当然除了食材本身的味道之外，厨师的功力也不容忽视。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不过最重要的是Alaska Crab的肉质本身就很美味，很弹牙，和我们普通次的螃蟹有很大的分别。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;吃的时候，可以感觉的它的肉有很重的蟹味，而且很多汁。（哇，想到我就流口水）&lt;br /&gt;我们一只蟹，煮两种味道，分别是芝士和甘香。&lt;br /&gt;虽然甘香的也不错，不过芝士的比较好吃。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;但是美味的东西都是不便宜的啦，单单那只Alaska Crab，我们就吃掉了Rm300+。&lt;br /&gt;不过，物有所值，Alaska Crab的评价是六颗星*~~~~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;*（满分五颗星）&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;好啦，暂时是酱啦。&lt;br /&gt;update完毕！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

have been to 6 states by following the tour. The only reason I join the tour, so that I could travel to most places in shortest time. And my experience upholds the reason, I travelled to New York City, Princeton, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, Niagara Falls and Boston.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;One day for New York City is definitely not enough. Times Square itself probably has taken one day, not to mention the museums, central park and Liberty Statue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The tour guide brought us to Wall Street and New York Stock Exchange as our first stop of the day.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;But I personally don’t think it is worthwhile to go to Wall Street and NYSE. There nothing much you can do in Wall Street, you are not allowed to enter NYSE building. The only thing you can do is cam-whoring. Haha&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Empire State building is a MUST-GO if you want to have a bird-view of Manhattan. I wish the sky was clearer on that day, but it wasn’t as bad as the time in San Francisco. Manhattan is a really big city. There are thousands of yellow cabs “crawling” on the road. It is so convenience to get a cab in NYC, unlike in LA, you need to call and get charged.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SivtlwV81MI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/dz6a-1FwxOs/s1600-h/NY+empire.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SivtlwV81MI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/dz6a-1FwxOs/s320/NY+empire.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344626615693137090" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;I didn’t go to Liberty Statue but I went near Statue of Liberty when I took the cruise. It is pointless to visit to Statue of Liberty as it will be too tall for photo taking. Taking a cruise will be a better choice but you really need to be fast enough to catch the good angle. However, I heard from the news that Statue of Liberty’s crown is reopened to the crowd again after terrorists’ attack in year 2001. It will be another good spot to view Manhattan Skyline.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SivtmAGr0jI/AAAAAAAAAEY/ef3UmlO8Oes/s1600-h/NY+liberty.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SivtmAGr0jI/AAAAAAAAAEY/ef3UmlO8Oes/s320/NY+liberty.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344626619924075058" style="cursor: pointer; width: 257px; height: 320px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Another way to enjoy skyline view of Manhattan is to take a cruise from any seaport in New York City. I feel it is quite worthwhile to take the cruise as the cruise will pass through Manhattan Bridge, Brooklyn Bridge and Statue of Liberty. Meanwhile, you can also enjoy the scenery along the bay.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Times Square is also a MUST-GO place. The is more than shopping that you can do at Times Square. Visit to &lt;span style="mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum and take photos with the celebrities. But if you have been to other Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museums, you can opt not to visit this one. I think all Madame Tussaud’s Museums are the same. Get a ‘I heart NY’ shirt from the souvenir shops, there are several souvenir shops at Time Square, so you can compare the price before you made the purchase. Besides, there is one really GOOD pizza house near Times Square. Pizza is the MUST-TRY food in New York. Pizza in the US always come in big slide, normally people will try the plain one like cheese pizza. O ya, you shouldn’t miss Hershey Chocolate World and M&amp;amp;M’s World if you are a chocolate lover!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Museums, I don’t know how many museums are there in NYC, but if you want to visit one or two, I shall recommend you The &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Metropolitan Museum of Art located in Uptown Manhattan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;;mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt; and American Museum of Natural History located at Central Park. The first museum is my favorite museum of all the museums that I have visited in the US. Because it is a art museum, I get to see one of my favorite paintings, 'Venus and Adonis' and Van Gogh’s masterpiece. The second museum located at Central Park, which is also the museum in Night at Museum 1. I didn’t visit to that museum but I am sure it will be nice too.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SivtmSxxYEI/AAAAAAAAAEg/djdQlBJZr7A/s1600-h/NY+adonis.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SivtmSxxYEI/AAAAAAAAAEg/djdQlBJZr7A/s320/NY+adonis.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344626624936632386" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Central Park is a really good place for recreation. I love the atmosphere there, it was so relaxing. Young people jogging, children playing, old folks sitting at the benches, everything harmonizes with the nature. I only spend 2 hours at Central Park. Actually the tour didn’t bring us to Central Park, but my friends and I decided to extend another day at the end of our tour so that we could have time to revisit to the places we love in NYC. So for the extra day I have, I went to Grand Central Station, Columbia University, Central Park and Times Square.&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; Basically I think NYC is the city that you will never feel bored. Imagine having an evening walk in Central Park, (window) shopping at Times Square or Fifth Avenue, visiting museums, dinning at Pizza house etc. There are thousands of activities to do in NYC, 2 days for me is seriously not enough. &gt;.&lt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;*I hear NY*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-fareast-font-family:&amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-Times New Roman&amp;quot;;font-family:&amp;quot;;color:black;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-2062766490509622535?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/2062766490509622535/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/06/us-travel-wrap-up-32-east-coast-new.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/2062766490509622535'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/2062766490509622535'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/06/us-travel-wrap-up-32-east-coast-new.html' title='The US Travel Wrap Up 3.2 (East Coast: New York)'/><author><name>shuling</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/Se-1eUnqG7I/AAAAAAAAAA0/5jFfm-KSdIg/S220/pic4.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SivtlwV81MI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/dz6a-1FwxOs/s72-c/NY+empire.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-7754900621828802500</id><published>2009-06-04T01:10:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-07-19T21:33:33.925+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Beginner Chef'/><title type='text'>Attempting to bake for the very first time in my life</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;I promised myself to bake once I am home in Malaysia.&lt;br /&gt;I helped in baking when I was in LA.&lt;br /&gt;One of my exchange peeps is a great baker and she influenced me to bake.&lt;br /&gt;After searching for a few cupcake recipes from the Internet and getting all the ingredients from the bakery supplies store, IS TIME TO BAKE!!!!!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;The recipes I chose are Banana Chocolate Cupcake and Spring Cupcake.&lt;br /&gt;Last time, Sheryl’s Banana Chocolate Éclair taste so wonderful, so I want to make something taste like that also.&lt;br /&gt;For Spring cupcake just a simple vanilla cupcake and is easy to make.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;My Spring Cupcake was so successful, I baked a dozen but I only have 3 left in the end.&lt;br /&gt;After Spring Cupcake, I tried to do chocolate frosting…and failed.&lt;br /&gt;I should use chocolate chips but instead I use cocoa powder. That’s why the “frosting” couldn’t frost…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;Baking Banana Chocolate Cupcake was so challenging.&lt;br /&gt;The recipe is so different from the Spring Cupcake which basically just threw everything into the mixer.&lt;br /&gt;It uses more ingredients than the Spring Cupcake, like yogurt and vegetable oil. (so weird…)&lt;br /&gt;Besides that, the egg white also needs to be beaten until “stiff peaks form”. (wth is that???)&lt;br /&gt;I baked 2 dozens of Banana Chocolate Cupcake, the first dozen doesn’t taste like banana chocolate, and instead it tastes like normal chocolate cupcake.&lt;br /&gt;So I added more bananas for the second one, and the second batch turns out taste more banana-ish &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;and it is smoother.&lt;br /&gt;I don’t know which part I did better but the taste just improved. Haha&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;?xml:namespace prefix = o /&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;Since my chocolate frosting failed, I only used sugar glaze as my frosting… that’s why I feel my cupcakes so ugly now….

I have been longing the spring break to come, New York is one of my dream destinations, I was so excited about going to New York!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Actually I feel resistant to write the travel wrap up for this East Coast trip, because I have travelled to a lot of cities for just 7 days and I am pretty sure I hav&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;e plenty of things to write. &gt;.&lt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;I could not finish this trip in just one blog post, the best way to help me achieve this task is divide the story into different parts. Haha! OK, no more smiley faces, I should start writing now….&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;It takes 5 hour from LA to New York by plane, equivalent to the flight from Malaysia to Australia/Taiwan. Flying from LA to New York is like drawing a diagonal line, crossing the US map.  The airline we took was American Airlines, a budget airline likes Air Asia. (Haha, just found out that both of them have the acronym of AA) AA is really a “budget” airline, passengers only allowed to bring a carry-on bag, if you want to check in your luggage, you need to pay, USD25 for the first piece and USD 50 for the second piece. BLOOD SUCKING airline!!!! But the worst thing about the flight wasn’t because of the long travelling hour or the luggage fee that I need to pay but the no-meal served service.  Luckily for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;humanitarian reasons&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;, they serve drinks. This is the thing that you need to scarify when you are on budget, either food or money. 5 hour no food and no entertainment in the cabin, I survived that by sleeping all the way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;We took the flight at 11.00am in the morning and by the time we reached in New York, it was 7.00pm in New York. LA is in Pacific Standard Time while East Coast is in Eastern Standard Time, 3 hours time difference. [Fun Fact: there are 9 time zones in the US, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-bidi-;font-family:Arial;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Atlantic Standard Time (AST), Eastern Standard Time (EST), Central Standard Time (CST), Mountain Standard Time (MST), Pacific Standard Time (PST), Alaskan Standard Time (AKST), Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST), Samoa standard time (UTC-11) and Chamorro Standard Time (UTC+10)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;We were starving by the time we reached in New York. The travel agency sent a staff to pick us up at JFK airport. At first, I felt that the tour agency is so considerate but then I learned that this is because our hotel is located in New Jersey, there is no way we can travel to the hotel by ourselves. It took us 3 hour from JFK Airport in New York to our hotel in New Jersey. Some more this is not a “direct” van to New Jersey, it dropped some of the passengers in other hotel before it drove us to ours.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;We were dying for food when we reached at the hotel. At the end, we decided to have our dinner/supper (or maybe lunch since we didn’t have lunch) at an Italian restaurant.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;This is considered as the first day of our tour. The tour agency is damn smart, just brings us from airport to hotel and counted it as a day. And you need to pay tips also… for the driver who bring you to your hotel…That's why people always say tourism is a profitable business.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span

type='html'>&lt;div&gt;终于回到马来西亚了，终于告别新加玻闷到抽筋的日子。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;虽然在新加玻也是有朋友，但是都不是很熟，熟的朋友还在欧洲exchange，还没回来。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;所以，还是在马来西亚比较好，所有的本地大学在6月都放假，可以见到朋友。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不过，还是有一些朋友在做internship，没办法见面。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;虽然我只不过回到马来西亚短短的3天，可是我却觉得我每天都过得很充实。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;和新加玻的那个礼拜比起来，真的是天壤之别。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我下飞机的第一件事就是sms我所有的好朋友，告诉他们我回来了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;然后儿儿就问我要不要和她一起去槟城shopping，因为她接下来的几个周末都没有办法见面。&lt;br /&gt;所以没办法啦，儿儿当然是要见的啦，只好刚刚从槟城国际机场回来，马上又回到槟城去！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;儿儿是我在很多时候，不管发生什么事，都是第一个想让她知道的人，所以回来见的第一个人当然也要是儿儿罗！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;和儿儿去Queensbay了购物，我觉得我在美国shopping惯了，回到马来西亚一时间还收不到手。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;明明去的时候什么东西也不想买，最多想买的也就一双拖鞋而已，但是最后居然买了一双高跟鞋……&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;花了70多块，真的是，怎么我就这么爱花钱呢，不可以再乱花钱了。&lt;br /&gt;我今天才知道原来我五个月的美国生活已经花掉了我爸爸RM20,000。&lt;br /&gt;以后真的是要省一点了拉~~~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;回来还有一个很重要的事就是终于可以看到小小了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;整整五个月都没有听到小小的声音，真的很想念她。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;跟家人还可以用web cam，可以看到他们，听到他们的声音。&lt;br /&gt;但是小小就不一样，宠物天生就是要抱在怀里才叫做宠物。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不见小小5个月，小小肥了很多，而且她的毛不懂发生什么事，有点变色的感觉。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我一直叫我哥哥带他去看医生，看看她的皮肤是否有什么病。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;回来的第二天，本来要去剪头发，但是我常光顾的理发院没开。&lt;br /&gt;不过幸好我去了理发院附近的一家烘培原料供应店买了我要做cupcake的材料。&lt;br /&gt;在美国的时候，有位喜欢烘培朋友影响了我。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;加上我妈妈本身就是个烘培高手，所以家里烘培所需要用到的器具一应俱全，然后我就心痒痒想自己尝试做做cupcake.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;在网上搜寻了食谱之后，就把材料买齐，明天我就要尝试烘培我人生中第一次的蛋糕了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;今天，是回到马来西亚的第三天。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;今天终于把头发剪短了一些，头发还是长的，只不过之前头发乱糟糟，除了长之外，根本就没有一点造型。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;现在总算是见得了人了。哈哈。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而再见了头发之后，就去找我的四妹，讲了一个下午的话，不管是八卦还是正经事，都能够让我们讲一通。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;好久没看到我在F6是的姐妹了，在等着我们的大姐回来，大姐回来后，应该就更多东西做了。&lt;br /&gt;嘿嘿！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

San Francisco @ 14/02/09 - 16/02/09&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is Valentine Day!!!! And I had my second trip on second long weekend, President's day f on Feb 16. Actually I will have my first mid-term after that weekend, but as an exchange student, I really should not waste my time on study. So,  San Francisco won, I signed up the tour and left my mid-terms behind.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This was my first time joining a guided tour in the US. It will be easier to get around and if you want to visit more places in shortest time, tour would be the only alternative that you will have. Having free and easy required time on planning the trip, figuring out the public transport and finding the hotel. It will be more convenient by joining a tour, but it comes with price. There are a lot of hidden fees after we get on the coach. I paid additional USD55 for the cruise ride. And according to the tour agency, we need to pay our own meal, which I thought I can opt not to eat if I want to. But it turned out that the tour guide will bring us to one isolated restaurant that is located in the middle of nowhere. By no choice, we were forced to eat at the restaurant the tour guide 'recommends'. The restaurant must be a Chinese restaurant, with all-you-can-eat buffet. Sounds not bad? 1. Chinese food in the US basically just sucks; 2. Food in the US is always salty, no matter it is a Chinese food or American food; 3. It cost me at least USD10 to have a meal, I would rather have some fast food.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Looks like I keep complaining about the tour agency. Haha, sorry, I should really talk about my trip now. It takes around 6 hours from Los Angeles to San Francisco. We had a few stops along the way. First, after around 2 hours bus ride, we stopped at a small town named Solvang. Solvang is a Danish town, located in Santa Barbara County (still in California). In Solvang, you can find bakeries, restaurants and merchants that offer Denmark taste. Even the architecture of buildings also follow traditional Danish style. I suddenly felt like I am in Europe. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SiEl997WQvI/AAAAAAAAADw/5Tr7eEELA90/s1600-h/SF+solvang.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SiEl997WQvI/AAAAAAAAADw/5Tr7eEELA90/s320/SF+solvang.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341592379563852530" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After Solvang, we had another stop at Monterey Bay, located south of San Francisco. Monterey Bay is a bay of the Pacific Ocean, i think there is a different between Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea that I familiar with. Before that, I thought ocean and sea would be indifferent but now I know ocean is bluer and has higher wave. There is nothing much to do at Monterey Bay, the weather still cold in San Francisco, we just took a few photos and left.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are four MUST-GO places in San Francisco: Lombard Street, Golden Gate Bride, Twin Peaks and Fisherman's Wharf. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lombard Street is nothing but just a street. It is famous of having a steep and 9 tight hairpin turns. The twists would be nicer in spring when the flowers blossom. But I went during winter, what i saw was flower bed with no flower....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well, I do not need to talk much about Golden Gate Bridge. Golden Gate Bridge is the landmark that defines San Francisco. However, besides taking photos with the bridge, there is no other activities that we can do. But if you are on free and easy, I would suggest you to rent a bicycle and bike across this famous bridge.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SiEl9nEikTI/AAAAAAAAADo/esHu2OwBT2c/s1600-h/SF+GGB.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SiEl9nEikTI/AAAAAAAAADo/esHu2OwBT2c/s320/SF+GGB.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341592373428392242" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 229px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Twin Peaks, oh I love Twin Peaks so much. I enjoyed the 360 degree bird's-eye view of San Francisco from Twin Peaks. San Francisco is famous for its hills, so when I view the city from top, I could see all the slopes, steep roads and how the houses are built on the hills. Unfortunately, that was a little bit foggy on that day. But I still managed to take good pictures. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are quite a lot of things you can do in Fisherman's Wharf. We took a cruise, the weather was so cold at that time, and I barely felt my cheek and hands when I was on the ship. Besides the cruise, the Sourdough Bread Bowl of soup from Boudin is also a MUST-TRY. The bread bowl has a crispy crust but the bread is soft. And after the bread bowl absorbs the soup, it tastes really delicious. The bread bowl I ordered was English Clam Chowder, the soup tastes so nice, I think Boudin has a better Clam Chowder than the one I tried in Boston.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SiEl9VmXhkI/AAAAAAAAADg/EDqPHJR1rGQ/s1600-h/SF+boudin.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/SiEl9VmXhkI/AAAAAAAAADg/EDqPHJR1rGQ/s320/SF+boudin.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341592368738436674" style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px; " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Last day of our tour, we went to Hearst Castle on our way back to Los Angeles.

Well, probably that was not my travel plan, Stacey (one of my exchange peeps) was the one who plans.

It has several attractions even though it is just a small city (as compare to Los Angeles). The city is really laid back and the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;people&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; there are friendly and always helpful. However, most of the shops close at 5pm (close at 9pm during summer) and the shopping mall close before 9pm during winter. It was really bad as we have nothing to do after 9pm, so we walking up and down at downtown, luckily the restaurants operate until night. As compare to Los Angeles, San Diego is safer and it has less homeless folks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;We received a warning from a police in San Diego because we crossed the rail after we got down from tram at night. The policeman was talking to a young man when we walked pass him. We didn't pay attention to him as we didn't know that our behaviour earlier was seen. As we walked pass him, He stopped us and asked us did we just cross the rail in a really loud voice. We were shocked and quickly apologized to him. But he threaten to issue us a ticket, we explained to him that we are tourist and promised we won't do it again. Then, he started to smile and said he was just kidding. (=.=|||) He is nice anyway. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;The Motel we stayed in San Diego was not expensive and free shuttle service is provided to downtown and airport. Even we pay only &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;USD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;65+ for our room per night, but the room is equipped with fridge and coffee maker. The staff are friendly and they really tried to satisfy all our request. I had a enjoyable stay in San Diego.

like to talk about how I adjust myself in these few days.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On the day I arrived in Changi Airport, my mum and dad gave me a big surprise.&lt;br /&gt;I was expecting to see them one week later when I get back to Malaysia but they actually came to Singapore to pick me up.&lt;br /&gt;I did not know they were there when I called my bro.&lt;br /&gt;I was so surprise to see them and when I saw my dad, I just cried.&lt;br /&gt;OMG, I am so loser, cried at the airport when I am home (erm....half-home...).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I miss my family so much and I just can't control my tears dropping.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The first thing I need to adjust is my bio clock.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had jet lag and my body is functioning according to LA time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I slept at 5pm and woke up around 3am, equivalent to LA time 2am and 12am.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Luckily after 2 days, my bio clock started to follow Singapore time.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Thank godness, now I do not need to wake up and cook my own meal at 3am in the morning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I feel so lonely now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In LA, I was always surrounded by all my exchange peeps but in Singapore, I just stay at home and surf net...BORING....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Meanwhile, I lost my sim card, cannot make phone call or texting....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;ARGGGGGG, I can't wait to go back to Malaysia now.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I want to meet my Malaysia friends and go out

"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;awwwww, I am going back to Singapore tomorrow.&lt;br /&gt;Time really files, 5 months exchange life has came to the end.&lt;br /&gt;Well, I must say that I would not be the Shu Ling today if I didn't come to US.&lt;br /&gt;I changed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I am more willing to spend....in other words...i shop a lot in US. I am not saying that I didn't shop when i was in Singapore but i am more money consious in Singapore. I think Sheryl, Stacey and Yayi influence me and they always persude me to buy, buy, buy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. I drink more in US. Back in Singapore or Malaysia, I seldom drink. This is because myy friends don't drink so liquor is not part of my beverage choices. But, thanks to Weiyang, i really dirnk a lot here. haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. My English imporved. OMG, my english really improved a lot. I am totally chinese educated before i came to Singapore, my English get improved after 3 semester in NUS but I improve more in US. Even though Weiyang always makes fun of my pronunciation, whatever, at least i speak better English now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. I have better cooking skills now. And I am considering baking after go back to Malaysia. Thanks to Sheryl~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. I am dare to take roller coaster now. haha, I am damn scared of roller coaster before that. But California Screaming and 6 Flags really changed me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. I study less in US...I am quite hardworking back in NUS. But in USC, I am really slacked (but I get better grades =.=|||).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. I love the way Americans greet people when we enter the store or we line for food. I feel warm everytime they greet. I think most of the (NOT all) Americans are friendly and polite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. I love our family tree. OMG, i think we need to create a group on fb for our family. I enjoy being a nanny but i hate cleaning up edmund's kicthen...haha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. I appreciate all the memories we have together. Our potluck gatherings, chill sessions, birthday parites, outlet/ shopping trips, roller coaster rides, cam-whoring activities....I will miss you~~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. I love you, people. You give me the sweetest memory ever. So many things happened and it just too harsh for me to say goodbye. Love you and will never forget you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, KEEP IN TOUCH!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;:)))))))))&lt;br /&gt;(probably a sad face will be better.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-3103466086183944071?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/3103466086183944071/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/05/time-to-say-goodbye.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/3103466086183944071'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/3103466086183944071'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/05/time-to-say-goodbye.html' title='Time To Say Goodbye'/><author><name>shuling</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/Se-1eUnqG7I/AAAAAAAAAA0/5jFfm-KSdIg/S220/pic4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-8562681605450540930</id><published>2009-05-17T13:40:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-05-18T13:52:33.842+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='E Pluribus Unum'/><title type='text'>被人讨钱+搭讪的一天</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="ZH-CN"  style="font-family:SimSun;mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:SimSun;

mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-fareast;mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri;mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin"&gt;前天晚上，我做了一个梦。&lt;br /&gt;梦中的故事大概是说，每个人因为某个节日的关系，都得到了一个礼物。&lt;br /&gt;细节我已经记不清楚了，总之梦的大意就是说梦里的每个人都得到了一份礼物。&lt;br /&gt;当轮到我接受礼物的时候，不懂为什么，轮到我的时候，有人说节日取消了，礼物不可以再派了。&lt;br /&gt;而刚好我是最后一个接受礼物，其他接受了礼物的人呢，就满不在乎的说，好啊，取消就取消啊。&lt;br /&gt;可是他们手上紧紧握着自己的礼物，嘴巴说取消了也没关系。&lt;br /&gt;梦里，我的情绪是十分生气。&lt;br /&gt;我很生气，因为他们都得到了礼物，但是他们既然已经得到了礼物，嘴巴当然不在乎拉。&lt;br /&gt;我不甘心，他们怎么可以这么说，他们怎么可以得到了就不顾其他人的感受。&lt;br /&gt;梦里的我发了很大的脾气，很生气很生气很生气！！！&lt;br /&gt;然后，当我发完了这个脾气之后，这个梦结束之后，有一把声音告诉我说：现在你该松一口气了吧？&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: SimSun; "&gt;突然，我在梦里就像是清醒了一下。&lt;br /&gt;我像是忽然醒觉，质问我自己，我是不是太压抑了。&lt;br /&gt;我钱包里一直收着一张从报章上剪下来的生日解码，那张小小的剪报说，我的缺点是压抑。&lt;br /&gt;在此之前，我一直都不觉得自己很压抑。&lt;br /&gt;我的生活是很快乐的，外人看我觉得我很开心很幸福，实际上我也觉得我很开心很幸福。&lt;br /&gt;只不过，我是一个典型的双子座，我是真真正正的双面人。&lt;br /&gt;在外人面前，我总是阳光明媚，开朗热情，似乎对什么事情能够都好说话。&lt;br /&gt;然而当四下无人的时候，我还有另一种情绪。&lt;br /&gt;但很多时候，即使我的内心多么的不愿意，在外人面前，我总是告诉自己，忍一忍吧，又不是什么大不了的事。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: SimSun; "&gt;在我朋友的面前，或许我是一个很少发脾气，很少伤心的人，但是在面对这家人的时候，我有时候会很野蛮，很任性，对一些事情不说道理。&lt;br /&gt;然而，在朋友面前，我总是一副很随和的样子，我很少对朋友发脾气，也很少对朋友说我的伤心事，大多时候，和朋友分享的还是我开心的事。&lt;br /&gt;我想这也是导致我必须在梦里发泄出来的原因吧。&lt;br /&gt;这并不是我第一次在梦里发泄出我愤怒的情绪，我偶尔会做这样的梦，在梦里我的情绪是极度愤怒，在梦里我会毫不客气地指着人来骂。&lt;br /&gt;但是没有一次像这次一样，在发泄完毕之后，有一把声音告诉我，这下你该放松了吧。&lt;br /&gt;那句话就像是一个大铁锤，重重地敲醒了我，我突然了解，一直以来，我总是在不知不觉中压抑自己。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: SimSun; "&gt;最近发生了一些事，我虽然不甘心为什么事情发展到这样的地步，但是我又觉得我其实并没有生气的道理。&lt;br /&gt;我一直以为我在心理上调适得很好，但是这个梦提醒我也许在我心里的某个地方，还是有放不开的理由。&lt;br /&gt;我不懂我该做些什么，我清醒的时候，我已经不再介意过去的一切，但是心里深处也许还是有介怀的地方吧。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: SimSun; "&gt;如果无法原谅，就忘记。&lt;br /&gt;我那张生日解码里，写着这么一句开导我的话。&lt;br /&gt;一切随风而去吧，希望回到大马，我会有更美好的生活。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5266564003935663721-8904167177047894899?l=chngshuling.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/feeds/8904167177047894899/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/8904167177047894899'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5266564003935663721/posts/default/8904167177047894899'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://chngshuling.blogspot.com/2009/05/blog-post.html' title='如果压抑'/><author><name>shuling</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='20' height='32' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/Se-1eUnqG7I/AAAAAAAAAA0/5jFfm-KSdIg/S220/pic4.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5266564003935663721.post-6110036673592605113</id><published>2009-05-16T12:55:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-05-16T13:16:52.412+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='E Pluribus Unum'/><title type='text'>Get to Huntington Library with new friends.</title><content type='html'>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;May 13&lt;/span&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; is move out day.&lt;br /&gt;Sadddd, I need to move out from my apartment.&lt;br /&gt;Oh Annenberg, I will miss you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;After one day of packing and cleaning the apartment, I am really tried.&lt;br /&gt;But good news is I found that I can still squeeze more stuffs into my luggage.&lt;br /&gt;And I just receive my housing deposit and insurance refund from USC.&lt;br /&gt;Well, now I have money and space in my luggage, I want to do more shopping.&lt;br /&gt;Hohohohohoho~~~~ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Moving out to downtown is really troublesome, especially I don’t have transport and it is impossible to take public bus as I have 3 luggages.&lt;br /&gt;But luckily, Kai Jian  (a USC student from Singapore)is willing to help me.&lt;br /&gt;He rented a car and helped me brought all my luggages to the hostel I stay.&lt;br /&gt;My hostel located at south main street in Downtown LA.&lt;br /&gt;The hostel is nice, with really modern renovation.&lt;br /&gt;Orange, white and baby blue are their main colour.&lt;br /&gt;When I was online at the lobby, some people came in and asked me whether this is an art gallery.&lt;br /&gt;I answered him, nope, this is a hostel. He looked impressed.&lt;br /&gt;The hostel is really nice, they provide free internet access at lobby, the reception is friendly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I live in a shared bedroom with 2 sinks. Well, probably it is not very nice to have 5 people sharing a bedroom with you.&lt;br /&gt;But I only have a roommate who moved in later than me on the same day.&lt;br /&gt;So, when I first moved in to my room, there is nobody in there.&lt;br /&gt;Well I don’t think shared room is a big problem, I have been here for 2 days, and I only have a roommate.&lt;br /&gt;So I probably won’t have a full room. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The hostel is nice, but the environment around my hostel is not very nice.&lt;br /&gt;I don’t mean that the area is unsafe, just there are a lot of homeless people (most of them are Blacks).&lt;br /&gt;They won’t commit a crime but they will disturb you, like begging money from you, trying to talk to you.&lt;br /&gt;I get freaked out on the first day when I walked around that area.&lt;br /&gt;Cause normally i walk in a big group with my exchange peeps but they are no longer with me, I alone in downtown LA.&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, I not really loitering around Downtown LA, downtown LA is not as attractive as it may sounds.&lt;br /&gt;Just like Hollywood, Hollywood is over-rated, I get disappointed when I visited Hollywood.&lt;br /&gt;I got approach by two or three blacks, they are not homeless but they just tried to disturb.&lt;br /&gt;it was so scary and I get cursed as “Chinese Bitch” by one of them…..&lt;br /&gt;After that, I figured out that in order to avoid this people, I need to walk in the opposite direction and get to other street then walking back to the direction I want after crossing to the next block which has less these crazy people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;Later in the day, I have a new roommate.&lt;br /&gt;Her name is Anatasyia, from Russian, just reach in LA.&lt;br /&gt;We have a short talk, she is on Work and Travel program and is her first time in US.&lt;br /&gt;She asked me whether it is safe to walk around at the area.&lt;br /&gt;I told her that maybe those homeless people will disturb you but they will not commit a crime.&lt;br /&gt;And, the same thing happened, she got freaked out like me.&lt;br /&gt;The blacks and homeless people are really annoying.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I get to know that they are going to work at The Huntington Library, which located at San Marina, another city in California. (Not in LA but somewhere near LA.)&lt;br /&gt;We (exchange students) wanted to go to Huntington but we don’t have time.&lt;br /&gt;After knowing that she has totally no idea how to get around in LA, I volunteer to help.&lt;br /&gt;I help her to check with Metro (bus service provider in LA), how to get to The Huntington Library in San Marino and provide her some tips how to get around in LA.&lt;br /&gt;Since I have nothing to do on the next day, I asked whether I can tag along with them (she and the other 2 friends) to go to Huntington.&lt;br /&gt;And she agreed.&lt;br /&gt;SEE, it was not that bad to stay in hostel. You get to know some random people, but isn’t it fun!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The next day, we get to San Marino by Metro, it took us 1 hour to get to San Marino from Downtown LA.&lt;br /&gt;After 15 minutes walk, we finally reached in The Huntington Library.&lt;br /&gt;It is named library but inside Huntington, it is actually a combination of art galleries, botanical garden and library.&lt;br /&gt;I got a free ticket, haha.&lt;br /&gt;The ticket cost USD 15, I really saved a lot.&lt;br /&gt;I wouldn’t go in if I need to pay by myself.&lt;br /&gt;Haha, but why I get the free ticket at the first place.&lt;br /&gt;This is because that three Russian girls need to enter the park to meet the manager. So the officer at the reception office just gave us 4 tickets in order to enter the park. YEAHHHHHH!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; Huntington garden is so beautiful, especially their Chinese garden and Japanese garden.&lt;br /&gt;I love their art galleries, I love to see the paintings.&lt;br /&gt;But art galleries in New York is the best, no one can beat New York. Haha&lt;br /&gt;I walked around Huntington garden when they are filling their paper work.&lt;br /&gt;So I tour around by myself, cannot cam-whore, just take photo for the surrounding.&lt;br /&gt;Their Rose garden also very beautiful, this is my first time being surounded by thousand of rose plants and the natural roses scent.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/Sg5LZp3Do9I/AAAAAAAAACY/uc7QWuO-iys/s1600-h/P1110273.JPG" style="text-decoration: none;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_OmeMSvPSQwM/Sg5LZp3Do9I/AAAAAAAAACY/uc7QWuO-iys/s320/P1110273.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336285512586208210" style="cursor: pointer;

(WTH)&lt;br /&gt;And for those who didn't summit their ID, that jerk asked the resident of that apartment, who is the birthday girl, is she willing to take responsible for those who didn't summit their ID?&lt;br /&gt;He asked in a really rude attitude, our birthday girl get pissed and said she will.&lt;br /&gt;OMG, please lar, we told you we are exchange students already, do you think we really afraid of the consequences?&lt;br /&gt;We are leaving at the end of the month, most of us are probably won't enter US again in the next few years.&lt;br /&gt;Who

and continue the party.&lt;br /&gt;We started to cam-whore at his apartment, I took photos with everyone.&lt;br /&gt;And whoever with camera basically just take as many photos as he/she can.&lt;br

at the camera.&lt;br /&gt;LOL, practice makes perfect!!!&lt;br /&gt;We have a few group photos, all exchange students take photo together in different pose.&lt;br /&gt;I like taking photo now, after i

/&gt;不过等下又有人complain我每次写blog写到好像短篇小说一样，所以我就把它们分成两篇罗。&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;又一次的potluck聚会。&lt;br /&gt;我们几乎每个星期都会聚在一起，搞一个大吃会。&lt;br /&gt;这个星期，我们吃hot pot。&lt;br /&gt;hot pot就是火锅，不懂为什么美国人叫火锅做hot pot，所以就我们就跟着叫hot pot罗！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而这一次聚会也有更多的USC学生来参与。&lt;br /&gt;其中一个是美国和俄罗斯的混血帅哥，还有几个是来自新加玻但是在USC读书的学生。&lt;br /&gt;其中两个超级厉害啦，跟我们差不多年纪已经是PhD的学生，哗~~~~~~~&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;除了之外，还有两个女生从加拿大来，所以这一次的聚会也跟往常有点不一样。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;那个混血儿做了俄罗斯的水饺给我们吃，我只能说这些水饺的味道有些特别，不是我吃过的味道。哈哈&lt;br /&gt;还有一个做了日本味增豆腐，那个就很好吃了。哈哈&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;哦，对了。&lt;br /&gt;我们昨天8.30pm采取买火锅的料，买到来已经10点了。&lt;br /&gt;然后我们就去fountain run，因为fountain run 10点开始。&lt;br /&gt;当我们从fountain run回来时，就已经吃了。&lt;br /&gt;而当我们真正的开始吃东西时，时间是半夜12点30分。&lt;br /&gt;哈哈，够力，我们吃完的时候就已经2点多了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;大家吃吃喝喝啊，玩牌，听歌，讲话。&lt;br /&gt;我觉得exchange本来就是要这样。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我回到家冲凉的时候已经3点多了。&lt;br /&gt;所以我是4.30am才睡觉~~~~~&lt;br /&gt;（我知道对身体不好&gt;.&lt;）&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不过又是充实的一天！！！！！！！！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我们拍了video: &lt;a

/&gt;天啊，在LA的时间就这么短，三个礼拜后，我就会回到马来西亚了。&lt;br /&gt;在LA的日子真的很开心，读书没有压力，每个周末都会出去玩。&lt;br /&gt;我五个月的假期就快要结束了，啊啊啊啊啊！&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;好了，不要说无聊的事。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;昨天，我去参加了USC的一个传统，叫fountain run。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;就是应届的毕业生，会跳进学校的每一个喷泉。&lt;br /&gt;当然不只这么简单拉，他们会在活动开始之前喝酒，然后穿上泳衣，再跳到喷泉里去玩。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;虽然我不是即将毕业，但是我下个学期也不在USC了，所以当然不会错过这么有意义的活动！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;USC有很多喷泉，但是可以让人跳进去的不多。&lt;br /&gt;我大概跳进了5、6个吧，可能更多，但是不记得了，哈哈。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;刚开始的几个，喷泉的水还不算很肮脏，但也不能算干净了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我们还爬上喷泉的雕像，跟雕像一齐合照。&lt;br /&gt;到了后面的几个喷泉，喷泉的水可说是又黑又臭。&lt;br /&gt;之前不是说了他们会喝酒吗，其实他们跳入喷泉的时候，手上也是拿着酒在喝的。&lt;br /&gt;所以喷泉有酒的味道，而且水肮脏得看不见底。。。。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;所以最后几个，没有跳进去，只是在外面拍照。哈哈&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;昨天校园有很多LAPD，大概是担心有学生醉了之后会闹事吧。&lt;br /&gt;也看到有些人，真的喝得很醉，所以LAPD就要他坐在一旁休息。&lt;br /&gt;而我们学校的security，就在校园里，宿舍区里巡逻。&lt;br /&gt;看到我们去学校的时候，还跟我们说congratulation。&lt;br /&gt;哈哈，虽然我不是毕业生，但我还是跟他说thank you。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其实我觉得这样的传统还蛮不错了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;起码在你念大学的四年里，你会有个憧憬说，我在大学的最后一年有这么一个难忘的庆祝仪式。&lt;br /&gt;而且，喝醉再穿上泳衣，在校园里面肆虐，哈哈，不用说，一定是一个疯狂的回忆。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;唉，我只能说，新加玻太认真了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;答案是，什么也没做。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;学校只发过一封e-mail给我们，告诉我们猪流感有什么症状，要怎么预防。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;并且呼吁如果出现了这些症状，应该第一时间到学校的保健中心去。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;其实在LA，目前还没有人感染到猪流感，不过这并不代表将来不会发生。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;总之，现在的LA就如平常一般一样，只不过比一般更注重个人卫生而已。&lt;br /&gt;猪肉？还是照吃！&lt;br /&gt;人多的地方？还是照去！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;学校？可当然还是照上，我也很想停课呀！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='E Pluribus Unum'/><title type='text'>I feel like I am floating in the sky after 8 roller coaster rides.</title><content type='html'>今天去了Six Flags Magic Moutain.&lt;div&gt;坐了8趟的云霄飞车。&lt;br /&gt;跟马来西亚的Genting Theme Park比起来，马来西亚的大概就是给小孩子坐的。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;之前还没去的时候，我朋友就上youtube看了一些它的游乐设施。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;然后就拼命和我说有多可怕。&lt;br /&gt;其实我是不太想去看的，没有看之前就已经知道它的刺激程度不是一般般，看了之后除了怕你也不能做什么。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而且知道了有什么游乐设施，去到那里就没有惊喜了。&lt;br /&gt;所以，在还没有去之前，我只是我那个朋友说有多可怕，也有去它的网站看了一下，心理上的准备都是去到那边一定要坐上云霄飞车，但是对于究竟它的云霄飞车有多高有多快，心里根本没有谱。&lt;br /&gt;昨天我们有个potluck，在朋友家呆到1点半，回到自己的房间已经是2点了，冲完凉已经是2点45分（因为洗头嘛），等到头发干，再去睡觉的时候，已经是4点15分了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;今天早上9点半就爬起来，10点半有朋友来接我们去6 flags。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;从LA到6 flags大概有一个小时的车程，在车上，我就忍不住睡着了。&lt;br /&gt;当醒来的时候，我们已经到了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我张开眼睛，看到的居然是一座又一座，平均高度都是超过20层楼的云霄飞车。&lt;br /&gt;我看到的时候，我简直就是惊呆了。&lt;br /&gt;我的脚在发抖，看来我是underestimated 6 flags的云霄飞车了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;同行的朋友中，有一个是敢死队，至今我还没有看过他说怕的云霄飞车。&lt;br /&gt;（明天他还要去sky diving，omg，真的是敢死队。）&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;刚开始的时候，我们做了一个等级中等的云霄飞车，Revolution。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;第一个云霄飞车还好，我没有很怕。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;都说等级中等了，所以感觉上就还好。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;坐了这个之后，有几个朋友就想要去坐最恐怖的云霄飞车。&lt;br /&gt;那时候，我只能都不敢去坐，因为我觉得我心理上没有准备好，冒冒然去做我一定会怕到象鬼酱。&lt;br /&gt;还有另外几个也是不想去坐的，所以我和那几个朋友就去玩了其它东西。&lt;br /&gt;我们做了两个水上游乐设施和一个等级轻微的云霄飞车。&lt;br /&gt;等我们和另一批回合的时候，那些敢死队又要去做站着的云霄飞车。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;你没有看错，传统的云霄飞车都是坐着的，而这个是站着的。&lt;br /&gt;我也不知道究竟感觉是怎样，因为我还是怕死，所以这个也没上去。&lt;br /&gt;（但是后来我是有点后悔，因为他们讲说这个云霄飞车很慢，没有想象中的可怕。）&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;过后，我们又去做了等级中等的木栅型云霄飞车，colossus。&lt;br /&gt;还没上去之前，我真的很怕。因为人数的关系，我们没办法凑足两人一组。&lt;br /&gt;那些男生想玩我，叫我一个人坐，如果我想要跟他们所的话，就必须要坐在第一排。&lt;br /&gt;我当然不依，第一排不用说也知道有多可怕。&lt;br /&gt;看到那些轨道，简直就是把云霄飞车的可怕程度增加一倍。&lt;br /&gt;结果我居然用了我一生中最渴求的态度来求其中一个坐在我旁边。&lt;br /&gt;他们当然也是不同意，不过最后当我们上云霄飞车的时候，我紧紧抓住其中一个的袖子，把他抓来我旁边坐。&lt;br /&gt;不过，条件是，我坐在第二排，还是可以看到轨道。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;讲真那个云霄飞车其实没有我想象中的可怕，我也不知道为什么我当时这么怕。&lt;br /&gt;不过看到轨道那个，不是说假的，还真的蛮可怕的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;坐了这个之后，那些敢死队就选了更刺激的Scream。&lt;br /&gt;Scream就是那种只有椅子，没有车的，然后你的脚就可以感觉到空气在你的脚下快速的流动。&lt;br /&gt;其实我本身之前没试过这种脚下没有踏板的云霄飞车。心理怕怕的。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;本来不想去的，不过那个被我抓到我旁边坐的男生就抓我去坐。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不过，幸好他抓我去坐，不然可能我后来就不会坐那么多extreme的云霄飞车了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Scream的前半段我真的在scream，因为我还不习惯那种感觉。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;但是到了后半段，我就开始麻木了，反而因为这个云霄飞车有15层楼高，我还欣赏周边的风景。&lt;br /&gt;哈哈。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;这个之后我还坐了Goliath，这个云霄飞车的卖点就是从26层楼高的高度，以61度的斜度往下冲到underground tunnel，最高速度可以达到135km/h。&lt;br /&gt;不懂为什么，这一次我坐在第三排，虽然我没看到那个轨道。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不过心里还是很紧张，尤其云霄飞车在往下冲之前，停留在最高点的那段时间。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;由于它停留的时间还不是一般的短，结果我就忍不住大喊：just let me go down!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;要下就快点下，停在那边只是吓人而已，因为你不知道几时它会往下冲。&lt;br /&gt;但是有一点尴尬的是，坐在我前面的人是我不认识的，做完之后前面的人有翻过来看我一下。&lt;br /&gt;因为我除了说以上那句话之外，我还在最后的时候说了：this is not that scary, is damn fun!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而他反过来看我的表情时，看得出他有一点怕。哈哈！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不过老实说，这个云霄飞车的速度是最好的，而且冲下去真的很爽。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;之后，我尝试有7个loops的Viper，也是很刺激。&lt;br /&gt;其实我发现我还蛮喜欢loops的，而且7个loops真的很过瘾，云顶的spider好像只有2个loops吧？&lt;br /&gt;Sunway Lagoon的有几个loops？太久没去了，不记得了。&lt;br /&gt;马来西亚还有哪里有云霄飞车？&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而我今天的最后两个云霄飞车简直就是今天的highlight。&lt;br /&gt;一个是X2，另一个是Tatsu。&lt;br /&gt;X2恐怖的地方在于，一般的云霄飞车不管多恐怖，起码座位还是固定的。&lt;br /&gt;如果是悬吊式的座椅，那么你的头上一定会是轨道，而如果是普通列车型的，脚下一定会是轨道。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;而X2是轨道在中间，座椅在轨道的两边。&lt;br /&gt;因此这个座椅是没有任何东西支撑的，座椅会随着轨道的上下而360度旋转。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我觉得这个最恐怖的就是当你的人是180度的时候，你看到是地上，感觉就好像要掉下去一样。&lt;br /&gt;我永远都不会忘记，当你的人是180度在空中的时候，往下看是什么样的一回事。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;噢，对了，这个云霄飞车不是向前走的，是向反方向走的。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;不过就算它是向前走，也不会有什么差别，因为你的人是360度旋转的。&lt;br /&gt;Tatsu在最后做是完全正确的，如果Tatsu在之前做，那么可能接下来就不用坐了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;如果说X2的360度旋转式可怕的话，那么Tatsu的卖点就是全程都是我在X2是最怕的一部分。&lt;br /&gt;没错，Tatsu是让你以180度，面向地下来完成这趟旅程。&lt;br /&gt;不过，它可不是有东西让你爬着，而是当你坐上椅子之后，再把椅子弄成180度。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;简单来说，你就像是被锁在一个横放的椅子，然后椅子在被轨道吊着。&lt;br /&gt;不过这个云霄飞车真的很屌，因为它的轨道本身有些部分是flip over的。&lt;br /&gt;怎么说的，就是它的轨道自己360度旋转（不是loop的那种），原本是面朝下的，有时候就会面朝上。&lt;br /&gt;所以，我的视象是：这是地上，这是天空。又再地上，天空，地上，天空。&lt;br /&gt;但是这个真的很刺激，真的很值得一坐，也是唯一让我有怎么这么久还没有结束的感觉。&lt;br /&gt;（其他的都是，啊，这么快就结束了！）&lt;br /&gt;坐完之后，我还真的有点觉得受不了。&lt;br /&gt;不过幸好是最后一个，坐完就可以回家了。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;我现在的感觉是，我觉得我整个人都很漂浮。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;好像还在空中转来转去一样。&lt;br /&gt;呵呵，关起眼睛的时候，会感觉自己还坐在云霄飞车上。&lt;br /&gt;看来今天真的坐太多云霄飞车了。&lt;br /&gt;不过，入门票只有USD26，我玩了十项游乐设施，一项大概USD2.60，简直就是值回票价！！！&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;p/s：这是X2和Tatsu在youtube的video。X2的有两个，一个是看那个椅子怎么转，一个是有人拿照相机拍得。Tatsu也是有两个，一个是官方网站上的，另一个也是照相机拍得，真不懂他们是怎么办到的。如果你想看其他云霄飞车的话，也可以在related video里找到。&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;X2：&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n15HEYQkKM"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0n15HEYQkKM&lt;/a&gt;；&lt;a

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='E Pluribus Unum'/><title type='text'>原来喝醉真的会出事</title><content type='html'>昨天，我们这班交换学生中，有一个女生终于２１岁了。&lt;br /&gt;２１岁，不是一个普通的生日，而且难得在美国，所以她就办了一个"drinking party"。&lt;br /&gt;从字面上也知道，这个派对是没有提供食物，唯一提供的就是酒精饮品。&lt;br /&gt;哈哈，很符合美国的文化！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;既然是一个drinking party，当然除了喝酒，还能做什么。&lt;br /&gt;不对，我们也有做其它的东西。&lt;br /&gt;因为我和几个朋友到的比较早，所以那个女生的几个室友，就和我们玩了music chair的游戏。&lt;br /&gt;后来，那个birthday girl还和我们玩taxes hold'em。&lt;br /&gt;其实我们一到的时候，就塞给每人一支酒精只有５％的果汁香槟。&lt;br /&gt;玩扑克牌的时候，赌注其实就是喝酒。&lt;br /&gt;后来更多人来的时候，就真正地开始了喝酒大会。&lt;br /&gt;那晚上我和的酒比起以前的浅尝即止，昨晚我真的是喝得太多了。&lt;br /&gt;我喝了两支果汁香槟，一支啤酒（很小的，不是calsberg的那种），还有tequila、volka、韩国烧酒（有个韩国的交换学生很喜欢请我们和韩国的烧酒，不过韩国烧酒还真的是不错喝）。&lt;br /&gt;喝到某一个程度，我就知道自己差不多了，不可以再喝下去。&lt;br /&gt;再喝下去的话，就真的是喝醉了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;事先声明，我是有喝酒，但是我没醉啊，我脑袋还是很清醒，还知道什么可以做什么不可以做。&lt;br /&gt;确实的说，我这种是叫“微醺”。&lt;br /&gt;微醺的意思就是说，喝到７、８分醉，有点飘飘然的感觉。&lt;br /&gt;对，就是有点飘飘然的感觉。&lt;br /&gt;其实我还蛮喜欢这种感觉的，头脑意识清醒，心情很高兴，会不自觉地傻笑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而经过了有点喝醉这么一回事之后，我才发现原来酒精真的可以壮胆。&lt;br /&gt;虽然昨天是没做过什么尴尬的事，但那时候却觉得不管现在做出什么事，我都不会觉得害羞。&lt;br /&gt;难怪有很多人在喝酒后，都做出很多傻事。&lt;br /&gt;而电视剧也很喜欢演男主角在喝酒之后，才向他们喜欢的女生告白，哈哈！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大概喝到１点多，我就和几个朋友先离场了。&lt;br /&gt;听后来的人说，派对大概维持到早上４点多才结束。&lt;br /&gt;不过我们走了之后，他们大多也是在聊天而已，不是在喝。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而我回到自己的apartment后，就觉得很爱睡。&lt;br /&gt;其实在派对的时候就觉得很困了，只不过那时候张开眼睛，还是觉得很清醒。&lt;br /&gt;不过回到房间之后，就真的很不一样了。&lt;br /&gt;眼睛一关，觉得整个房间好像在旋转一样，而我的床好像摇篮一样轻轻摇摆。&lt;br /&gt;摇啊摇啊，我就慢慢地入睡了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;老实说，到美国之后，我真的是喝了蛮多的酒。&lt;br /&gt;不懂是不是因为“山高皇帝远”，爸爸妈妈管不到的关系，总是放心的喝。&lt;br /&gt;还有另一方面的原因就是，在新加玻和马来西亚的朋友都很“单纯”，不烟不酒。&lt;br /&gt;但是美国就不一样了，什么样的人都有，而且喝酒和派对也算是美国的文化之一。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;各位在马来西亚的朋友们，我生日的时候，一定要喝酒啊。&lt;br /&gt;而且今年的生日是星期六，我不管，你们全部都一定要喝！！！！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;但是，前天，有一粒砾石在msn上面叫我换，因为她很想留言有留言不到。&lt;br /&gt;我承认我本身就很偏心，砾石和大头虾比起来，砾石的分量真的比较重。&lt;br /&gt;所以，经过考虑了以后，我就决定换了，哈哈！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;对啦，我是偏心啦，大头虾你就不用怨了。&lt;br /&gt;不是那个人，没有那个分量啦。&lt;br

/&gt;终于，好不容易熬到四月，四月初的时候，还是蛮冷的，但是却没有一、二月这么冷。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;所以说，现在是春天了~~~~&lt;br /&gt;但是，真的是春天吗？&lt;br /&gt;上个星期的温度，还是在14度C和23度C中徘徊，有点冷，但是比10度C好多了。&lt;br /&gt;可是，从昨天起，温度就开始有点怪怪了。所天气温，34度C。新马一带的温度通常都是介于26度C（夜晚）和32度C（白天）之间。&lt;br /&gt;为什么我会知道？Window Vista的Sidebar不是有温度计吗！昨&lt;br /&gt;天的温度虽然比较高，但是好在晚上有风，所以感觉上不是很热。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但是今天的温度简直可以用“变态”来形容！&lt;br /&gt;今天温度最高39度C，我的天啊，真的很热！！！！！&lt;br /&gt;还没突破40度C，算是好事吧？现在是晚上11点30分，温度是28度C，无风。&lt;br /&gt;28度C看起来好像没问题对不对？&lt;br /&gt;重点是我房间没有风扇，也没有冷气，我的天花板就只有一盏灯。&lt;br /&gt;而且是一盏亮度很低的灯（所以我被逼买了一盏台灯）。整间房子只有客厅有一架冷气而已。&lt;br /&gt;真的好热好热好热好热！！！！&lt;br /&gt;今晚我要怎么入睡，天啊！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weather forecast的网站上写道：Tomorrow is forecast to be Cooler than today.&lt;br

/&gt;but the accident spoiled my mood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i went to watch mama mia musical in Pantages Theater, located at Hollywood.&lt;br /&gt;the musical was so nice and ABBA songs were so good.&lt;br /&gt;even though my seat is quite far from the stage but because i sat at the balcony level so i can still see it clearly.&lt;br /&gt;the architecture of the theater is also really nice, the theatre is kind of "the phantom of the opera" style.&lt;br /&gt;the performance was so amazing and i enjoyed the show.&lt;br /&gt;everything was so great until on our way home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;coz i went with my apartment resident, so basically those who don't have transpont will tag along those who have car.&lt;br /&gt;therefore, I rode on someone's car, and i didn't know the driver until today.&lt;br /&gt;because this Mama Mia musical is organized by our residence.&lt;br /&gt;we can buy the ticket in really cheap price, only USD 10 and transportation is provided by car pool.&lt;br /&gt;as the drivers are the students in USC, so it is safe.&lt;br /&gt;i joined this kind of activities before, so today juz like another normal outing for me.&lt;br /&gt;as we reached some where near our apartment, the driver missed our apartment entrance.&lt;br /&gt;so he need to do a big turn at the next road to go bac to our apartment.&lt;br /&gt;just as he turn into another road, suddenly the passengers in the car (but not the driver) screamed.&lt;br /&gt;I was sitting behind the driver seat so i could not see anything.&lt;br /&gt;before i figure out what was happening, the next thing i saw is somebody crashed on the windscreen.&lt;br /&gt;it was f*cking scary, it happened so sudden, all i saw was something knocked on the windscreen and the windscreen cracked.&lt;br /&gt;the accident happened around 11.20pm. i was so shocked and stunted, it was so terrible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the driver get down and checked out the victim.&lt;br /&gt;a guy in our car called the police and the driver behind our car also helped out.after i get off the car, i did not feel scared.&lt;br /&gt;i think i not really feel anything at that time.&lt;br /&gt;i was shivering but i m not sure is because of the weather or because of the accident.&lt;br /&gt;i saw the victim from far and i think the victim is seriously injured.&lt;br /&gt;his right foot is broken, the leg bend into the shape that normal human leg can't.and his hindbrain is injured too.&lt;br /&gt;the driver who helped us keep talking to the victim to make him stay concious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the fire department reached really fast.&lt;br /&gt;2 fire trucks and 1 fire deparment ambulance arrived in less than one minute.&lt;br /&gt;LAPD reached after this, while the police officer was taking down the statement from the driver who helped us, the fire department rushed the victim to the hospital.&lt;br /&gt;after that, more officers reached at the scence.they started to do their work, like taking photos, estimating the speed at the time, measuring the distance, checking for the hit marks.&lt;br /&gt;the officer also asked us to leave the contact to LAPD but because we are passengers so he also said we will not in trouble.&lt;br /&gt;we stayed at the scence for approximately 45 minutes, freezing in the wind (temperature is still cold at night in LA).&lt;br /&gt;after the officer allowed us to leave, we walked back to our apartment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i think i am somehow lucky cause i could not see anything as the driver blocked my view.&lt;br /&gt;but according to the girl sat in the middle, she said the victim ran out from the roadside to cross.&lt;br /&gt;the officer also said the victim was illegaly crossing the road.&lt;br /&gt;there is no traffic light, no perdestrain crosing line, no pedestrain crossing sign.&lt;br /&gt;even though the victim might be have fault but i think the driver was not completely right.&lt;br /&gt;he was not really focus when he was driving.&lt;br /&gt;he was talking to us and because the music a bit loud, he need to turn his head to the right so tat we can hear him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;it was such a horrible night.&lt;br /&gt;everything was so nice at the begining, this is my first musical and the accident ruined the night.&lt;br /&gt;omg, i m still a little bit of nervous.&lt;br /&gt;omg.hopefully the victim is alright. god bless him.&lt;br /&gt;drivers must drive carefully, the accident was so scary.&lt;br /&gt;omg, now i really won't forget my first musical.&lt;br /&gt;it was such a long night.&lt;div

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='E Pluribus Unum'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>不知不觉，在美国的时间只剩下短短的一个月多。&lt;br /&gt;这里有太多美好的因素，让我不想回到马来西亚，不想回到新加玻。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其实直到今天，我还是无法相信我就是生活在LA。&lt;br /&gt;一想到我人生中，曾经有一个城市，虽然只在那里短短的生活了五个月，但是这五个月的回忆，永远都是这么的珍贵，这么得叫我难以忘怀。&lt;br /&gt;当我还是十几岁的丫头时，除了大哥到新加玻念书之外，我的生活圈子里，包括亲戚包括朋友，出国念书对我们来说是很遥远的事。&lt;br /&gt;之所以觉得新加玻其实并没有给我出国的感觉是因为连接着新马的那一个海峡，还不如槟城与北海向各的那一片海洋。&lt;br /&gt;车子开过新马海峡只不过是五分钟的时间，加上人种、语言、食物的相近，新加玻是一个比起东马更令人熟悉的一个城市。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;所以，这一次到美国做交换学生，才是真真正正的“出国念书”。&lt;br /&gt;所见到的人与事，都是新鲜的。文化、学习经验、考试制度、生活态度都是和马来西亚，和新加玻完全不一样的。&lt;br /&gt;因此，我一直有种不可思议的感觉，不仅因为还无法相信自己能够来到美国，也因为点影中的种种都在日常生活里一直活生生地上演着。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;其实在美国住了一段时间之后，才惊觉，美国其实不如外界所看得那么美好。&lt;br /&gt;在国际舞台上，美国总是裹着一层“战无不胜”的糖衣。&lt;br /&gt;好莱坞电影里，一旦世界发生了什么动乱或灾难，总是由美国人来拯救这个世界。&lt;br /&gt;渐渐地，美国在我的脑海里，就被塑造成一个superhero。&lt;br /&gt;然而，到了美国之后，才慢慢地发现，这个国家的另外一面。有他们不美好的一面，也有比电影里更美好的一面。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不知大家有没有听过有关于小丑的一个小故事。&lt;br /&gt;故事就说一个中国的孩子长大后像要当小丑，没想到父母一听，就马上把巴掌呼过去。&lt;br /&gt;而美国的孩子长大后想要当小丑，父母听到了，便对他说：愿你把欢乐带给别人。&lt;br /&gt;这种大概就是美国的一种态度吧，总是正面地鼓励孩子，不挫败孩子的心，不让孩子失望，永远都想办法圆孩子最迫切的愿望。&lt;br /&gt;不管发生什么事，在美国，爸爸妈妈永远都是他们最温暖的避风港。&lt;br /&gt;但是，也因为这样的态度，我总觉得美国人有时候在生活上是个彻底的孩子。&lt;br /&gt;而在学习上，教授也总是不让学生失望。5分满分的作业，4.5分时最低分，而教授还因为只能给你4.5分感到内疚和抱歉。&lt;br /&gt;所以，我觉得美国的孩子有时候真的是活在一个很大很安全的泡泡里，最好的最想要的，大人总是不会让你失望。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这也是我为什么不想回到新加玻的原因。&lt;br /&gt;比起美国，新加玻所采取的态度大概就是“置之死地而后生”、“弃弱留强”。&lt;br /&gt;我也想要一个永远都不会破的泡泡，为什么新加玻就不能有像美国一样的系统呢！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我不想回新加玻呀！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spice of Life'/><title type='text'>看见不一样的世界</title><content type='html'>我有一个侄儿，很机灵活泼的侄儿。&lt;br /&gt;将近4岁的他，是个典型的“为什么”儿童。&lt;br /&gt;小小的脑袋瓜，大大的眼睛总是像个猎人一样，到处搜索可以发问的机会。&lt;br /&gt;而我有时候也会怀疑，是不是他喝了那个常常在电视上用“连接脑细胞”为卖点的奶粉，才会有这么旺盛的好奇心。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但是，也因为他永不放弃的追问，有时候，会从他的角度，看见不一样的世界。&lt;br /&gt;还记得有一次，他问了一个我们都听不懂的问题。&lt;br /&gt;“为什么人有两个灯，车有三个灯的哩？”&lt;br /&gt;人怎么会有灯？车有怎么只有三个灯？&lt;br /&gt;我们就问他：“你讲什么东西两个灯，三个灯？”&lt;br /&gt;”为什么人有两个灯，车有三个灯的哩？”&lt;br /&gt;他没有解释，只是把问题再重复一遍。&lt;br /&gt;在他看来，听不懂这个问题，或许是一个很奇怪的事情。&lt;br /&gt;“为什么车停有三个灯……”&lt;br /&gt;这一次总算明白了。原来他是说交通灯有红黄青，而行人交通灯却只有红和青。&lt;br /&gt;然后，我们就向他解释，因为车走得比人快，所以黄色是让车子准备停下来的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;看看吧，小孩子的世界里，总是跟着他们自己喜欢的来定位。&lt;br /&gt;人有两个灯，而车有三个灯。&lt;br /&gt;把事情想复杂的，其实是我们这些大人。&lt;br /&gt;如果你觉得小孩子的用字都是简单且幼稚的话，那么你就错了。&lt;br /&gt;我侄儿不懂为什么，天生方向感特别好。&lt;br /&gt;才这么小的孩子，左右永远都不会搞错。&lt;br /&gt;而我到至今，还是左右不分。&lt;br /&gt;话说有一天，我大嫂开车带着我的侄儿，不懂从什么地方回家。我侄儿就觉得很热，想要叫他的妈妈把冷气调高一点。&lt;br /&gt;通常我们都会说：“把冷气‘开大’一点。”&lt;br /&gt;但是，方向感极好的他，却用了这样的一句话来说：&lt;br /&gt;“妈妈，请你把你左手边的冷气转向右边，可以吗？”&lt;br /&gt;看吧看吧看吧，小孩子的思考能力就是和大人不一样。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;有时候在你教导小孩子，他们不作声，并不是他们不懂，而是他在努力的学习与记忆。&lt;br /&gt;记得我侄儿2岁的时候，那时候我们就买了识字卡给他读。&lt;br /&gt;其中一张是消防车，俗称“救火车”的图片。&lt;br /&gt;那时候，我对他说，“救火车”的英文就是Fire Engin。&lt;br /&gt;重复念了几次，他似懂非懂的看着我，默不作声。&lt;br /&gt;这事情说得也巧，隔天，不懂为什么，有架消防车就正好停在我们家的住宅区里。&lt;br /&gt;从二楼的窗口看出去，正好就看到了消防车。他对我爸爸说：“爷爷，你抱我看fire engin。”&lt;br /&gt;我爸爸一时会意不过来。&lt;br /&gt;第一，我教他这个名词的时候，我爸爸不在场。&lt;br /&gt;第二，除了我教他的那一次之外，哪一天下来，再也没有人给他复习过了。&lt;br /&gt;那天从他口中发出的“fire engin”非常准确，让我不禁佩服小孩的学习能力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;也许我们会觉得小孩子的问题很烦人，有时候同样的东西必须解释很多次，直到他们觉得你说的有道理了，才会在他们的世界里接受你的思想。&lt;br /&gt;但是，不妨弯下身子，从他们的高度看看这个世界。&lt;br /&gt;你会发现，当身高不一样，看到的东西也会不一样。很多时候我们轻易就忽略过去的东西，在放低身子后，那些东西就如泰山般在我们的眼前。&lt;br /&gt;如果你不相信，请你在你平时会去的地方，蹲下来，再一次用心的看。你会发觉这个世界和你一向来以为的，真的很不一样。&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;所以，除了荷兰话之外，华语也说得蛮好。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而我呢，就跟她学着一些荷兰话。&lt;br /&gt;其实荷兰话和英语还是有点相似的，听起来还蛮像英语的。&lt;br /&gt;但是有些句子的发音很奇怪，不是我们华文或英文里的发音。&lt;br /&gt;无论如何，我还是每天一点一点在学。以前学英文都没有这么勤力，哈哈。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而且，我还跟她拿了几首荷兰歌来听。&lt;br /&gt;她听的荷兰歌也只有几首，因为她平时很少听歌，听歌也以英文为多。&lt;br /&gt;但是在她给我的几首荷兰歌中确有一首居然是SHE《恋人未满》的荷兰版！！！&lt;br /&gt;呵呵，想不到几首歌之中，还是有我认识的旋律。&lt;br /&gt;原本就听不懂它在唱什么，倒是熟悉的旋律给了我一个惊喜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;恩，叫大家一句有用的荷兰话吧。&lt;br /&gt;我爱你 ik hou van jou&lt;br /&gt;ik：发音是英语"i” 的发音，加上一个k&lt;br /&gt;hou：发音汉语拼音，hao第四声&lt;br /&gt;van：发音汉语拼音，fan第三声&lt;br /&gt;jou：发音汉语拼音，yao第四声&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;是不是很容易呢，要和自己的情人说哦！告诉他们这就是荷兰人说我爱你的方式！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;但是，让人意外的是，其中一个科目。那时候从考场出来，和其他朋友讨论答案的时候，我自己的答案都和其他人的不一样。&lt;br /&gt;但是没想到，居然还可以考得不错。&lt;br /&gt;所以说，考得好不好不是看自己，而是看别人做得怎么样。要是别人做得比你好，不管你本身多有信心，靠出来还是有可能会失望。&lt;br /&gt;就好像我上一个学期一样。但是有时候，当你自己觉得你自己没做的很好。&lt;br /&gt;但是别人也做得比你差，那么还是有会有考好的可能性。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;据说有一年的master生，因为那一年的考试处得还满容易。&lt;br /&gt;所以全班的学生都很高分，但是全班最低分的同学，还是会不及格。&lt;br /&gt;换句话说，如果大家都考得很差，那么那个比其他人好一点的人就会考到优良。&lt;br /&gt;唉，真残忍！！！！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不过，这一个学期总算是平安度过。下个学期也要一样努力！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spice of Life'/><title type='text'>刚刚看了荷兰反回教的短片，心里很不舒服</title><content type='html'>如果这辈子有什么短片你看了一次就不想再看。&lt;br /&gt;却不是因为那短片不好看，不好笑，而是因为你怕，不敢看第二次。不敢再次重看，是因为你担心，因为你知道里面说的不是假的，也许有一天，它就要成真。&lt;br /&gt;这个短片拍得很真实，真实得一些小细节就会深深震撼你的心。&lt;br /&gt;没看过的那些，读过我这篇日志就算了。&lt;br /&gt;千万不要找来看，你会心寒的，因为事实就如短片里面所描述那样，没有一点作假。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这个短片用了可兰经里的经文作为分段，可兰经经文说什么我倒不是很理解。&lt;br /&gt;但是接下来的画面，就让我很震撼。&lt;br /&gt;短篇播放了一段911发生的时候，一名生还者播电到911的求生电话。&lt;br /&gt;电话里的人充满绝望，急救中心的人拼命安慰她，告诉她会没事，但是现在我们都知道，这个在电话里的人根本就不可能生存下来。&lt;br /&gt;短片还放了世界各地受到恐怖袭击的图片。&lt;br /&gt;在这个开头里，我看到的是制作短片的人把回教和恐怖分子划上等号。&lt;br /&gt;我看到这里的时候，确实觉得这个短片有以偏概全的嫌疑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然而，当我继续看时，我就有点动摇了。&lt;br /&gt;短片里有一些画面让我无法忘记。有个3岁的阿拉伯，穆斯林女孩，有人问她：犹太人是什么？&lt;br /&gt;她回答说：犹太人是猪是人猿。&lt;br /&gt;才3岁而已，大人不是应该教她，如何尊重他人，为什么却在她脑中植入回教的偏见？&lt;br /&gt;短片还提到了荷兰导演Theo van Gogh的事件。&lt;br /&gt;也许我们有些人不知道这件事。&lt;br /&gt;Theo van Gogh是梵高的后代，是荷兰的一名导演。&lt;br /&gt;因为拍了一部有关于回教的电影，被一名回教徒在光天化日之下残忍的杀死。&lt;br /&gt;而那个凶手在短片表示，如果他有机会从监狱里出去，他还是会进行他在那天所做的事。&lt;br /&gt;短片之中也有提到一些关于女权的事情。&lt;br /&gt;一名男人说：如果他的姐姐或妈妈和别人发生外遇，那么他便会亲手杀死他们。&lt;br /&gt;还有一些声音说：外遇的女人应该被石头对死，同性恋的人应该从高楼丢下去。&lt;br /&gt;短片也有出现两名同性恋的人被吊死的画面。&lt;br /&gt;一名回教徒说，他们不允许外遇和同性恋，以回教法来说，这些都是刑事犯罪。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;短片的尾端，让我更感到不安。&lt;br /&gt;很多回教领袖（大概是中东的国家的宗教领袖，应该不是政治领袖）纷纷表示，他们要以回教统领世界。&lt;br /&gt;他们相信以前的回教能够做到，现在的回教也能够做到。&lt;br /&gt;奉阿拉之名，他们能够统治美国，统治英国。&lt;br /&gt;你觉得这些可笑吗？短片很快就告诉你，这些都不是空想。&lt;br /&gt;画面出现欧洲过去几年回教徒的数量。&lt;br /&gt;比起过去几年，2007年回教徒的数量居然升到了荧幕外。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;这个短片发生在荷兰，如果没看过这个影片，我会以为荷兰还是一个风车和郁金香的国家。&lt;br /&gt;但是在netherland，已经有许多回教堂。&lt;br /&gt;其中一个声音说：回教堂会成为荷兰政治的一部分。&lt;br /&gt;杀害Theo van Gogh的事情，发生在荷兰。&lt;br /&gt;荷兰不是一个回教国家，但是为什么这么偏激的回教事件会发生在那里？&lt;br /&gt;同时告诉你，荷兰也是一个允许安乐死与同性婚姻的国家。&lt;br /&gt;可想而知，荷兰人的思想是比较开放的。但是在Theo van Gogh的事件发生之后，有一所回教堂被烧了。&lt;br /&gt;连容忍度以及宽容度这么高的国家的人民也不满某些回教徒的作为，到底哪里出错了？&lt;br /&gt;难道在荷兰的回教徒受到了塔利班的教育吗？&lt;br /&gt;还是回教的教义在某个层面上假设原本是导人向善，现在已被人家滥用了？&lt;br /&gt;或者，回教本来的教义就带有问题？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;短片用了一个很可怕的方式结束，一个人的手撕掉了可兰经的其中一页，撕的声音很响很亮。&lt;br /&gt;是回教徒撕掉他们不喜欢的教义的声音。&lt;br /&gt;虽然无法考证回教徒有没有这么做过，但是撇掉这个，短片里也不全是制作者个人的偏见。&lt;br /&gt;我觉得痛心的是制作者不应该把回教和恐怖分子划上等号，也不应该把极端的回教分子等同塔利班，但是极端的回教分子有一天会不会成为塔利班呢？&lt;br /&gt;我们都不知道。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;看了很多激进回教分子、恐怖分子的片断，感觉很不好。&lt;br /&gt;回教对我们来说看似一点关系也没有，但是却又和我们那么亲近。&lt;br /&gt;即便我本身对回教没有好感，但是现在又有点痛心制作视频的人，居然把回教与恐怖分子划上等号。&lt;br /&gt;另一方面，却又不对视频里面的事实感到寒心。&lt;br /&gt;里面说得也许有不正确的，但是更多的是实实在在的事实。&lt;br /&gt;短片里的激进回教分子表示，他们要统治这个世界，是上苍阿拉允许他们把非回教徒都杀死，是上苍阿拉允许他们用恐怖行为洗涤这个世界。&lt;br /&gt;我真的感受很深很深，我在大马的家，我的邻居全都是回教徒，我不能想象如果有一天，他们都被这段视频影响的话，安全是否能够得到保证。&lt;br /&gt;我不知道该用什么态度来面对回教。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;视频里的一句话很真，因为我们都感受过，但是却又是我们大家最不愿意相信的一句话：&lt;br /&gt;The Government insists that you respect Islam, but Islam has no respect for you&lt;br /&gt;或许不懂得回教的人会觉得这只是一个政客（制作者为荷兰的政客）在诬蔑回教，但是我们懂得更多，我们知道回教是一个怎么样的宗教。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;看了这个短片，我的心真得好沉重。如果有人能保证马来西亚的回教徒不会受影响，那么谁来保证我们的邻居呢？&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='My Origin'/><title type='text'>我们敢换，你们敢吗？</title><content type='html'>刚刚过了的大选，还是热烘烘的话题，我也不趁机说一说，那怎么行！&lt;br /&gt;这次的大选真的可以用“精彩绝伦”来形容。&lt;br /&gt;也再一次证明了，即使我人在新加玻，我的心，我的精神，却都还在马里西亚。&lt;br /&gt;而且，以马来西亚为归属的还不止我一个，还有很多很多在新加玻念书的孩子，我们的心一颗颗都悬挂在马来西亚的国土上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;投票日的一大早，我妈就给我来电话。&lt;br /&gt;我还问她，你去投票了没，我妈说投了，投了反对党。&lt;br /&gt;婆婆也投了，也是反对党。&lt;br /&gt;那时候，怎么料到投票的结果是那样的出乎意料，投反对党只不过是为了减少多数票而以。&lt;br /&gt;其实也没有想过让反对党变执政党的事。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然后一天下来，到了晚上9点多，我在马来西亚的朋友给我发来了一封简讯。&lt;br /&gt;简讯里说槟城各处都在乱，叫我打回家，告诉家人别出门，消息安全。&lt;br /&gt;当时完全不知道是怎么一回事，上网查了查几个网站也没有大选的消息。&lt;br /&gt;所以就打了一通电话回家，我爸爸接了电话，开口就问他，大选的成绩怎么样了。&lt;br /&gt;我爸说成绩还没出，然后我就问他，反对党赢了吗？&lt;br /&gt;我爸说，还不确定，有可能变天。&lt;br /&gt;我还想再问下去时，我爸说，不要讲了拉，还要看新闻。&lt;br /&gt;我在这里吵，让他不能集中。&lt;br /&gt;晕，我无语了。难道他不知道我也很紧张吗。。。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;挂了电话，我就上网，msn上面，同样在新加玻的朋友给我发来了malaysiakini的网址。&lt;br /&gt;点开了之后，才发现因为太多人游览，只能不断的更新来获取最新消息。&lt;br /&gt;就在我更新第一次的时候，网站瘫痪了！&lt;br /&gt;而且，不只malaysiakini，所有能够得知大选消息的网站，全都开不到。真是让人急死了！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;就在叫天不应，叫地不灵的时候，我突然想到我宿舍的tv room可以收到tv2和tv3。&lt;br /&gt;因为偶尔星期六，偶尔会有中国人在tv room打游戏机，所以我下楼的时候，心里一直祈祷千万不要有人用电视机。&lt;br /&gt;呵呵，也不知那天走了什么运，电视机居然没有人霸着，而且电视机前的沙发也是空着的。&lt;br /&gt;平时，即使没人霸着电视机，也会有人在沙发上聊天什么的。&lt;br /&gt;所以，那天也就是幸运，扭开电视机就看到tv3，还打了电话，把朋友叫来一起看。&lt;br /&gt;本来也只有我和朋友两个人看，但是过了一会，就有好几个我不认识的人走来问我，are you watching the election?&lt;br /&gt;嘿嘿，原来关心的还不只我。&lt;br /&gt;虽然彼此不相识，但是当他们知道我来自槟城之后，也热烈的讨论起槟城的成绩。&lt;br /&gt;而且那时候只有槟城确定易手，他们看起来都挺羡慕的。。。&lt;br /&gt;哈哈，虽然也不知道哪一方面比较优越，但就是有点值得骄傲啦。&lt;br /&gt;然后我们就聊起自己的州，哪一个领袖被拉下马，哪一个不喜欢的继续站在台上。&lt;br /&gt;然后还分享一些过去大选的新闻。&lt;br /&gt;其中一个是政治狂热者，居然说到了我还在小学时的大选。&lt;br /&gt;我只能尴尬的说，那时候我还不懂政治。。。。&lt;br /&gt;最后，他们的州，霹雳和雪兰莪也落入反对党的手中，高兴到他们。。。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;到了星期一，难得也有一名新加玻的朋友关注大马的选举。&lt;br /&gt;他也知道我来自槟城，所以就问我觉得怎样，我当然就是说：YEAH！&lt;br /&gt;然后他问我，u also support DAP?&lt;br /&gt;我说，no, but we suffer enough.&lt;br /&gt;他还问我说我又去投票吗，我说因为我要到6月才21岁，所以就错过了。&lt;br /&gt;我反问他，新加玻几岁才可以投票。&lt;br /&gt;同样也是21岁。我问他投过了吗，他居然说不用投。&lt;br /&gt;我很诧异，新加玻不也是民主国吗，怎么不用投。&lt;br /&gt;原来，是因为新加玻的候选人都没有对手。&lt;br /&gt;大多数都是不劳而获，全都是PAP（李显龙的执政党）的势力。&lt;br /&gt;这么说来，新加玻也没有多少民主，因为据说新加玻政府对于反对党压制得很厉害。&lt;br /&gt;这么多地方，只有一席属于反对党。&lt;br /&gt;马来西亚即使有多不好，但是对于不同的政治理念，还是有生存的空间。&lt;br /&gt;反观，新加玻，每年一到大选，反对党的区通常都会有事发生。&lt;br /&gt;也由于“不劳而获”，我朋友从来都没有看过大选是的宣传计俩。&lt;br /&gt;那种海报连天，什么“再转变投火箭”这种口号也没看过。&lt;br /&gt;真是。。。&lt;br /&gt;我都不懂是要佩服他还是可怜他。&lt;br /&gt;在某个层面来说，我觉得马来西亚人还是有可取的地方。&lt;br /&gt;起码我们能够选择我们的政府，也有勇气做出选择。&lt;br /&gt;我们敢换政府，你们敢吗？&lt;br /&gt;新加玻人真的很“响应”他们政府的号召。通&lt;br /&gt;常他们政府说什么，他们就做什么。做首相做到好像皇帝一样。&lt;br /&gt;整个家族几乎包办了一个国家的防卫，通讯，产业。&lt;br /&gt;反正，赚钱的，重要的，几乎都要让特定姓氏的人做。&lt;br /&gt;但他们和我们不一样，他们不是马来人&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;嘘~这一段比较敏感，千万不要让新加玻人看到。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不过有些新加玻朋友看到我的blog之后，通常就是说：why u blog in chinese?&lt;br /&gt;我通常就会这样回答，why can't i blog in chinese?&lt;br /&gt;而我收到最夸张的赞赏是，I really admire those can blog in chinese&lt;br /&gt;狂汗，我也really admire those can blog in english。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大家扯平，ok！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;但是我到了新加玻这么久一直都没有去过。&lt;br /&gt;总天真地以为，小印度可能就像就像槟城的印度街。&lt;br /&gt;一些店铺卖紗丽，卖香料，卖印度神像，卖茉莉花。&lt;br /&gt;然而，今天我真是开眼界了。&lt;br /&gt;原来新加玻的小印度，还真是印度的不得了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当我们的德士来到小印度主要道路，就已经看到路边林立大大小小的印度餐厅。&lt;br /&gt;德士停在了Mustafa Centre的主要入口。&lt;br /&gt;我从来都没有见过这么多的印度人一齐出现过！&lt;br /&gt;我记得最近一次的吃惊是当屠妖节的时候，有一群印度人出现在巴士站而已。&lt;br /&gt;但是这一次的景观却可以用“抬头所见皆印度人”来形容。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首先，Mustafa Centre本身的工作人员有超过90%都是印度人。&lt;br /&gt;在门外的守卫，负责寄物柜的工作人员，收银员，售货员，统统都是印度人。&lt;br /&gt;当我们一踏入Mustafa Centre，最先看到的就是金光闪闪的金表和首饰。&lt;br /&gt;接着更让我吃惊的是，这间Mustafa Centre所卖的东西，用“琳琅满目”来形容恐怕也无法正确表达它所售卖货品的种类。&lt;br /&gt;真金首饰的旁边是廉价发饰和项链，但是却和价格不算便宜的水晶搭在一起。&lt;br /&gt;在走廊的另一边，却卖着和电脑相关的一些产品。&lt;br /&gt;再往里面走，居然看到了adidas和rbk的运动服装和鞋子。&lt;br /&gt;和这些名牌服装摆在一块的居然是个人卫生用品，如洗发精、牙膏等。&lt;br /&gt;和这一块区域即在一块的，还有影音光碟和音乐唱片。&lt;br /&gt;从最新的好莱坞电影，到最久的宝莱坞音乐，都用了最杂乱的分类方式，排在架子上。&lt;br /&gt;如果你觉得就这样听我说就觉得头晕的话，那么你还真要亲身经历你才能够明白我所要表达的情景。&lt;br /&gt;除了货品的排法让人晕头转向之外，它的走廊的宽度大概只有1.5个人的宽度。&lt;br /&gt;所以当两个人在走廊上相遇时，这两个人必须是侧着身子才能够顺利通过。&lt;br /&gt;而收银机连排队的空间都没有，大概5个人的队伍就把走廊都堵住了。&lt;br /&gt;最可怕的是，这里很少能够看到华人或马来人，都是印度人在购物！！！&lt;br /&gt;连我都有股来到了印度的错觉。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mustafa Centre总共有6楼，包括地下室的两层。&lt;br /&gt;让人吃惊的是，这6层里，每一层都是用刚刚我形容的方式来展示他的货品。&lt;br /&gt;比如说，当我到了地下1楼，这一楼比起刚刚那楼就比较容易归纳了，属于男女服装部。&lt;br /&gt;但是你以为服装部就像是我们在百货公司看到的那样吗？&lt;br /&gt;你错了！！！这里的服装部把一些地摊货和高级货都凑在同一个地方了。&lt;br /&gt;在这里，可以真正感觉到无贫贵之分。&lt;br /&gt;新币百多块的nike球衣可以和找不到牌子的运动衫比邻而居。&lt;br /&gt;而且很多我都觉得很不错的nike球鞋杂乱无章被塞在架子里。&lt;br /&gt;没有盒子，不同款式，不同尺码，大家都不知道谁打谁，仿佛被遗弃般挤在架子上。&lt;br /&gt;如果你认为这些都是假的，那你又错了。这些球鞋都是真的，而且价格也不便宜。&lt;br /&gt;新币119元一双，但是高贵的价钱却没有得到它应该得到高档的待遇。&lt;br /&gt;我的天呀，不管是什么样的货色，都人人平等。&lt;br /&gt;然而，有些东西在这里买还是比较便宜的。&lt;br /&gt;例如，最新的ipod，这里只卖新305，外面都在卖新币350。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在Mustafa Centre，只要你念得出名字的都有。&lt;br /&gt;包括sony vaio笔记型电脑，打印机的墨汁，正版的电脑游戏光碟。我&lt;br /&gt;哥哥说，连汽车的音响系统也同样不缺。&lt;br /&gt;可怕吧？！我真后悔没带相机出门，不然可以拍下照片为证！（连手机都忘了带！）&lt;br /&gt;出了Mustafa Centre后，发现他们还有帮顾客兼顾行李的服务。&lt;br /&gt;大概是因为来这里大多是外劳，在购物完毕之后，就会马上搭飞机国。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;真没想到新加玻的小印度和槟城的居然差这么远！&lt;br /&gt;这次真的是长见识了！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1月8日，正当我在上网的时候，检查我的nus mailbox。&lt;br /&gt;发现我的mailbox里出现了一封来自交换学生计划的信！&lt;br /&gt;我记得交换学生计划是去年12月31日截止的，没想到才过一个月，成绩就出来了！&lt;br /&gt;当我移动着鼠标去点击那封e-mail的时候，我整个人都很紧张。&lt;br /&gt;第一，这个时候出成绩实在是太意外了。之前都没有收到通知说那天成绩会出来。&lt;br /&gt;第二，我的成绩并没有很好，我已经尽量填一些没有那么热门，名额又多的大学了。&lt;br /&gt;比如，我的第五选择（总共有5个选择可以放）是提供15个名额的韩国大学。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当我点开那封e-mail是，我先看到congratulation，我就很高兴了！&lt;br /&gt;因为不管是什么大学，我得到了，能够参加交换学生了！&lt;br /&gt;e-mail里面并没有注明我得到什么大学，而是要我们通过另一个网址检查。&lt;br /&gt;我的心又开始砰砰跳了起来，天啊，我到底会得到什么大学？？？？&lt;br /&gt;会是第三的北京大学，还是第四香港科技大学。&lt;br /&gt;也许就是韩国大学吧！偏偏在这时候，我觉得那个网页就是开得特别慢！&lt;br /&gt;当画面出现登陆页面时，我居然连密码也打不好，打了两次才登入。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;就在这一刻，我觉得我的呼吸就要停止了，我居然看到University of Southern California。&lt;br /&gt;我的天啊，是我的第一选择，没想到像我这种人也能都拿到第一选择！&lt;br /&gt;那一刻，我也不知道我自己的心情是怎么样了。&lt;br /&gt;我好想尖叫，也好想哭泣，我都不知道我自己要怎么样。&lt;br /&gt;我在屋子里东奔西跑，我拿着电话，不知道第一个要拨给谁。&lt;br /&gt;看着电话里的号码，我拨给了妈妈。&lt;br /&gt;但是电话响了好久，妈妈都还没有听电话。&lt;br /&gt;我有拨了爸爸的号码，拨通之后，我马上把这个好消息告诉他。&lt;br /&gt;但是我爸爸却很冷静，然后我听到背景声有人在说话，好像是在开会的样子。&lt;br /&gt;我就不再打扰他，我按了按电话里的通讯录，很多朋友都还在马来西亚，还没回到新加玻。&lt;br /&gt;于是，我就拨了好几通长途电话，向朋友们报喜！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我真的觉得自己好幸运，第一选择。当初我放USC的时候，只是玩玩。&lt;br /&gt;没想到真的能得，而且USC的名额只有5个，我也不知道我凭什么得到。&lt;br /&gt;后来我e-mail了几个我新加玻朋友，有一个得到意大利的大学。&lt;br /&gt;天啊，好酷哦！！！&lt;br /&gt;他说他不敢放美国的大学。&lt;br /&gt;也许有太多这样的人，我才能够得到的！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然后今天终于accept了它的offer。&lt;br /&gt;才知道原来现在这个offer只是NUS的internal offer。&lt;br /&gt;迟一些，还必须交上一份正式的申请表格给USC。&lt;br /&gt;等到那边也确定了，才算正式得到这个名额。&lt;br /&gt;现在只是开始，由于是马来西亚人，美国的visa必须自己弄。&lt;br /&gt;而且还有一大堆awards, scholarship和loan要申请。&lt;br /&gt;真正烦恼的事情，还没有到呢！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1'

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spice of Life'/><title type='text'>我是无辜的，为什么牺牲我？！</title><content type='html'>牙痛了5天，终于挨到昨天星期一，就去看牙医。&lt;br /&gt;这是我19年来第一次看牙医，不害怕是假的。&lt;br /&gt;但是还好有爸爸陪我一起去。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我看的牙医是爸爸一向来光顾的。&lt;br /&gt;是个中年妇女，是慈祥妈妈型的牙医。&lt;br /&gt;爸爸说，酱你才不会酱怕。&lt;br /&gt;感动ing，爸爸好体贴的说~~~&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;进了牙医的房间，坐上那座治疗用的椅子。&lt;br /&gt;一躺下，黄澄澄的大光灯就往我口里一照。&lt;br /&gt;医生左看看右看看，检查了之后，对我说。&lt;br /&gt;“你的智慧牙（右下颚的）应该是长不出来。&lt;br /&gt;牙龈都肿起来了。&lt;br /&gt;如果要拔的话，就要等消肿。&lt;br /&gt;你现在痛是因为上面的牙齿咬到下面的牙龈。&lt;br /&gt;为了让你没有痛，我会帮你拔掉上面的那只智慧牙。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我听了，差点哭出来，那时候当然是忍着。&lt;br /&gt;我上面的那只牙齿好好的，是难得的一颗好牙。真的要拔掉吗？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;牙医为了让我看得更清楚，就找了一张右下颚智慧牙的X光。&lt;br /&gt;X光片上，那颗牙齿真的是长歪了。&lt;br /&gt;现在也没其他的办法，所以上面的牙齿就真的要拔掉了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;当场就决定要拔掉了，我还很天真的问医生：医生，会痛吗？&lt;br /&gt;医生说，打麻醉针的时候就会痛，过后就没感觉了。&lt;br /&gt;所以，就打针，过后的确就麻醉了。&lt;br /&gt;我因为真的很害怕，过程中都闭着眼睛不敢看。&lt;br /&gt;虽然是没有痛，但是还是很可怕呀！！！&lt;br /&gt;最后，我那颗无辜的牙齿就这样被拔出来了。&lt;br /&gt;医生还问我，你要不要带那颗牙回家？我回答不要，因为……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;……因为我都不知道要怎么面对你。&lt;br /&gt;千错万错都是我的错，是我对不起你，是我不好，是我没我，我…我…我…我真的对不起你，亏你还长得这么好，安息吧！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;----------大半夜被拖出来开工的分隔线-----------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;右上颚智慧牙的OS:&lt;br /&gt;我到底做错什么，你要这么对我？？？&lt;br /&gt;我明明就是好好的住在那里，为什么你要赶绝我，要把我连根拔起！&lt;br /&gt;我是无辜的，害你的人不是我，为什么偏偏牺牲我？！&lt;br /&gt;呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜呜~~~~~~~~~&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Spice of Life'/><title type='text'>牙痛，好痛！！！</title><content type='html'>好像自上个星期二开始，我的牙齿就开始和我作对了！&lt;br /&gt;首先是右下颚的智慧牙应该是要开始生长了，我的牙龈整个肿起来。&lt;br /&gt;只要轻轻一碰就会痛得死去活来。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我妈给我两包药片，是上次她去看牙医是的药。&lt;br /&gt;一个是止痛药，一个是消炎药。&lt;br /&gt;我吃了两天，虽然是止痛了，但是没有消肿。&lt;br /&gt;星期四的时候，我的手痒，去弄那个牙龈，没想到居然有血水从牙龈里流出来。&lt;br /&gt;说得也奇怪，就这样消肿了。&lt;br /&gt;我因此高兴了一个晚上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但是，星期五早上一醒来，不得了了，连左下颚也开始发痛了！&lt;br /&gt;同样也是智慧牙惹得祸。&lt;br /&gt;我左下颚的智慧牙一直都在生长着，已经出了牙龈，所以可以看到它。&lt;br /&gt;原本一直都很好，虽然我觉得它应该有一点长歪，可是一直以来都没有痛，就没有去管它。&lt;br /&gt;但是这次不知道它发什么神经，周围的牙龈都肿了，而且这一次不管有没有碰到它都痛！&lt;br /&gt;我吃了止痛药和消炎药，但是似乎没有什么效果。&lt;br /&gt;而且，这一次严重到，我吃饭咬东西时都是用右边的牙齿咬。&lt;br /&gt;如果说话遇到平齿音，我就会变成大舌头。&lt;br /&gt;总之，上下牙齿就是不敢合起来。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;周末二日牙医又没有营业。&lt;br /&gt;牙痛好痛呀！明天去看牙医吧！&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'
