这一学期终于结束了，在考试完的昨天，我长叹一口气，然后在小龙那看了Inception
我这人一向很固执，别人说好看的电影，我就是偏偏不去看；每个人都说四大里PWC最好，我偏偏不喜欢它。Victor问我为什么不喜欢PWC，我说因为每个人都喜欢它，所以我不喜欢。
人往往就是这样。有时候，固执起来，还真没辙。直到有这么一个让你信任的人，对你说一句貌似不起眼的话，你就为此而改变了想法。当然，这只是弦外之音。今天写这篇日志，是想抒发一点感慨。
每个学期的过程中，我都会累得要死，这个学期尤其如此。学了5门课，旁听了半门，半个学期的Toastmasters,参加了学校fitness club的普拉提课程，做图书馆的part time，recess时还做了一个短期兼职，加上生病两次，熬夜n次，加上偶尔跟朋友看电影，唱歌，聚餐，吃夜宵……我在SMU好像从来没有这么忙过。于是，一个学期，我的体重下降了5斤，真得没有资本再继续瘦了……
在为个做project而熬夜时，在为了考试而最后复习时，我一直在期盼着，让这一切赶紧结束吧。我太累了，我该歇歇了。为了准备AFA的课程而早上不吃饭去学习一直到3：30上完课；为了一个个project而吃不下东西，只喝点咖啡提神，然后又恶心的要吐，那种挣扎真得让人难受。
而唯一一点让我安慰的是，这样的学习让我感到充实。我是一个务实主义者。有时会空想，但空想过后，一切毕竟只是浮云，最终让人感到安全的，还是脚踏实地去做点什么。
于是，平日整天念叨着赶紧结束这个学期，而等学期真正结束了，自己有充分时间来吃早餐走神加睡觉的时候，我却不安了。
“我在做什么？”生活开始变得无聊起来……
每个学期多多少少都有点这种感慨，但这次尤其深。平时我们抱怨学习太累，而等我们真正不学习了，才会感觉到不学习的日子是多么无聊与不安。唯一的办法，就是做点其它喜欢的事情，比如说，参加一些培训啊，课程啊之类的。而在做每一件事情的时候，我们是不是都会产生一丝的怨念呢？抱怨当初为什么要选择做，来“折磨”自己。而事后，就会发现，当初没有做错。我们只是在不同的时间“这山看着那山高”罢了。
正如今天所看的一文章，我们总是羡慕别人的生活，却不知别人也在羡慕我们。换到自己身上，当我们处在某一处境的时候，我们羡慕另一处境中的自己；而当我们真正到达了理想的处境，却发现原先的也不错。而我们唯一能做的，或者说是唯一应该做的，就是珍惜每一瞬间。
珍惜生命中的每一瞬间，因为你不知道下一分种你就会活得更好，更快乐。只有我们把每一分钟都过得充实、踏实，当下一分钟来时，我们才可以回味得说，之前过得还不错，并且不会为之而后悔。
Cherish every moment of life， because you cannot be sure that the next minute will be better. Only when you live every minute to the fullest, you will know that the minute just past was actually enjoyable, and you won't regret for anything.
从今天起，我的字典里将不再有“盼望”这个词。我会把盼望的在未来发生的事情都带到当前。比如说，在忙碌的学习中，仍然享受生活；比如说，在垂头丧气的时候，仍然想办法让自己快乐起来；再比如说，在单身的日子里，仍然感受到幸福。
很简单，做一个幸福的人。

声明
⒈ 我一向很坦然，有些事我还真不在乎。比如说，如果某人电话打不通，要我着急的猜测他跟哪个女生在通话之类的，或者为之吃醋，这是非常之不可能，并且我非常之不乐意被开这种玩笑！盆友们注意，以后，有则改之，无则加勉。。。
⒉ 不要以小人之心，度姐之腹。有些事情，我还真没想那么复杂，不要把你的思想加于我，姐不需要，而且，don't appreciate at all!
总而言之，言而总之，姐认为自己很正直，所以，那些乱七八糟的思想，不要跟我联系在一起。
声明完毕！

说谎
今天，我说了一个谎，并且不知道为什么。为此，我很纠结……
有时候，我真是搞不懂自己，到底在想什么呀！
天哪，该怎么去解释？还是不解释at all...
难道是为了虚荣，还是到底是什么？我对自己很无奈，as always……

study week
几天没有来更新博客了，因为是study week,全心投入在学习中，电脑甚至都不带了。
这几天，一直很充实，学习的日子，总是充实的。“晨曦理荒穗，戴月荷锄归"的日子让我感觉自己一直在认认真真的生活，没有浪费年华。
好久没有在听歌时落泪了吧，但在听"Yes I Do"时，眼睛湿润了。看来，并不只是周董与静茹的歌能让我感动。有时候，情到深处，听着动人的旋律与歌词，泪水就不自觉的滑落了……
于是这首歌，一直在单曲循环……

这学期最后一次熬夜
如题。
AFA report终于弄完了。我强烈不满Business的人学高级会计课！
不管怎样，这样的report总算可以让我心安理得的上交，不管成绩怎样，不会因此而内疚或忐忑不安了。
真希望这是本学期最后一次熬夜。期末考试的时候，一定要提前准备，不再临阵磨枪！
清晨，我祝大家，“光棍节快乐！”

这学期快完了
这学期，累死累活的，13周，居然快要完了。
今天跟蝇子同学一起去看了场电影，我的初恋情人。我很是好奇，为什么有人看这种电影会保持冷静，一滴泪都不落的？
我佩服这个结局，但同时很无奈。
Anyway,看完后，我已经完全不是自己了。红红肿肿的眼睛，居然还在电影院门口见到一认识的人，SIM Toastmaster的，实在是囧，这个世界啊，真是太搞笑了。
最后，TTY行行好吧，我的EF project，难道要以B告终？我无奈了……组里有人喊“I'm so disappointed!",其实，受伤最多的是我。
还有，我很累，很累很累，很累很累很累……
下次，不管喜欢我的人是谁，是什么样的人，我都给他们机会……张爱玲说，一个人最大的缺点就是不爱你；或许，一个人最大的优点就是爱你，把你当作他的一切吧……

为CAT熬夜中
如题……为了朋友……
我还想说：
1. 我根本都无法听或者看“散伙饭”这个词，因为我受不了
2. 我无法忍受你的失落，因为我心疼
3. 从今天开始，我晚上睡觉不再关机，白天不再忘带手机，一直为你待机

米莱与小贝
今天看了一文章，男人一辈子只能做一次小贝，女人一辈子只能米莱一次，感动的落泪。
我还是一直向往这纯纯的爱情，爱的世界里，只有爱。所以我才喜欢看纯纯的电影，喜欢看那些虚构的韩剧，并且每次都哭湿一堆纸。身边的人告诉我，这太不现实，我也知道，现实并不像童话故事或电视剧，但在我的心里，从来都不可以接受。
在米莱的世界里，喜欢一个人，那个人就是她的一切，因为太爱他。
在米莱的世界里，他喜欢的那个人，时时感受得到，身边的米莱在爱他。
“有很多人最初也是米莱，甚至比米莱也傻得多，什么都愿意，荒唐的，愚蠢的，什么都不管。爱酒越浓烈，就越容易昏了头。没有人看好的他，没有人看好的爱情，自己还是宁可撞得头破血流不放手。什么叫有收有放不懂，只知道我爱他，我要付出我的所有。为了一个不怎么爱自己，或是不爱自己，更残忍一点～爱着别人的那么一个人，不断地逼迫自己忘记，却又一次一次在看到他的时候打破防线。
然后，学会了要先想到自己，学会了不能全部付出，学会了在勇往直前的时候，要回头看看有没有后路。学会了怀疑和猜忌，觉得不能傻乎乎的，在别人不够爱你的时候就一腔热血。学会了考虑，你们到底可以走多远多久。
这样的成熟，其实也难过。
自己难过，因为已经不是原来那个我。如果可以，多么愿意谈一场简单美好的恋爱，你爱我，我爱你，什么都不变，什么都相信。可是之前那刀太狠太重，不愿意再一次伤痕累累。
而那个人更是无辜。就像米莱下一个男朋友，其实不是陆涛，却可能要承担陆涛给米莱的伤害。要把一颗已经爱疲倦爱警惕的心抚平，真的不是什么简单的任务。”
这一辈子，我也只想米莱一次，只能米莱一次，期望能够找到自己的小贝。

如果不能在一起，我就去澳洲
有人说，喜欢一个人，不只是表面上喜欢，而是在发现了一个人所有的缺点之后，还是一如继往的喜欢。但如果不能在一起，该怎么办？
让我说，如果不能在一起，我就永远离开，再也不见面，再也不联系。若干年后，即使在同学聚会相遇，也只是一句淡淡的“你好吗？”“我很好。”
如果是我，我就一个人去澳洲。有人说，Perth是这个世界上最孤独的城市，而有时候，孤独不也是一种自由吗？那个城市，有我想见的红色土壤，有一个小小的还长树的沙漠，有辽阔无际的海边与沙滩，有明媚的阳光，有寒冷但还是绿色的冬天……
我会去一个有人连名字都叫不上的小城，去附近的学校教中文，或者继续做个每天6点准时下班的审计师，再或者在附近开一家果汁店。就是在这里：
然后每天到海边去散步
偶尔去坐一下摩天轮，偷喂一下海鸥……
若干年后，如果我曾经喜欢过的人，还有曾经喜欢过我的人来到这里，我会送上一杯free lemonade.
一切都很美好，我也相信我会过得很好，只是你不会后悔错过吗……
就像我，偶尔还会想到曾经对我说爱我的人，内心问着自己，我是不是又一次错过了今生最爱自己的人？

原来如此
今天刘美女过生日，生日快乐！
原来大家都有自己喜欢的人，这是我今天最大的感慨！天哪，雷死我了！
同时，我很高兴，很为朋友们骄傲，真的。知道她们都有自己喜欢的人，我真的从内心感到骄傲，这三个女人，平时都深藏不露啊，哈哈！
还有一点，SMU居然有那么多中国男生，只是我从没看见过……

Tears of a man
Girls cry; we cry a lot, or at least i cry a lot;
I can see other girls cry, i can see children cry, for me, the feeling towards them is simply sympathy;
But i can't see a man with tears, i just can't…
I remember my papa's tears when i was having an operation; i was only 12 then, so i felt the pain, the pain for my wound only, not for my papa's tears. But i remember it, and i feel painful for that ever since i began to understand love.
"Eat, Pray, Love", if i were Liz, i wouldn't have left Steven, i would never. He said, his dream was to have Liz. He cried in the lift. He had the faith to "correct" himself just for Liz. He took his wedding vows seriously, until death. With that, i would spend the rest of my life with him.
I saw Philip cry too, for his son. He had tears in the eyes for his ex-wife. It's just too touching to see those tears... And i can't take it.
Why are men crying so much nowadays? I believe that those are the expressions of true feelings, pain for the child, missing the child, love for the wife. unlike me, whose tears are sometimes just a sign of weakness , or to relieve...

荒废的一天
今天早10：30才到学校，开了个效率低下的AFA会
然后做strategy project, （only to find that i DIDN'T SAVE!大四的人了，还会犯这种错误，我实在不想活啊！）
然后吃饭，**人说要去观音庙去拜拜，然后怂恿我也去。可能出于昨天做事太有效率，我居然给自己放了个小假，就随他去了。一去就是一下午……
晚上CAT的会，又难得我们无法前进……
我的一天啊，就这样浪费了！
为了惩罚自己，我现在必须把Strategy project赶出来，才能睡觉！！！
一会儿再更新，看看什么时候弄完！天啊，明天还有一天的安排呢！都怪自己，太不能自制了，今天就堕落！

what do i need
上周recess，终于盼到了recess week,结果生了一场重病，一直到现在还没有恢复。
Recess之前，整天早起晚睡，为了各个quiz,各种meeting做准备。而终于可以休息的时候，却无法好好休息，真是可笑……
现在，身体还是很虚，整天感觉在飘，而面前却摆着5个即将开始却在不久的将来就due的projects,我还有这个精力去应付它们吗？我真的需要super power...
或许，一点一点的做吧，该做的，终究逃不到。踏踏实实的从头开始才是真！

I just can't
不能说再见，不能承受离别，我就是做不到。
想当初，离开Perth的时候，就算发生了那么多不愉快的事情，还是为离开那个生活了5个月的地方，为那一段难忘的记忆而哭得稀里哗啦；
跟朋友分别，强颜欢笑依次拥抱，而转身，泪如雨下；
而如今……
我该如何面对现在的及未来的各种分别？

Garlic bread
I miss the garlic bread in Australia.
Don't know why, but i ordered garlic bread on Saturday as soon as i saw it on the menu. Ever since i came back to SG, i only ate garlic bread once in Nando's chicken. It was fantastic! It still taste Australian, that light taste of garlic, mixed with cheese and herbs, oily yet delicious. However, the garlic bread from Toastbox was a total failure. I never knew that garlic bread can be sweet...
I just miss the true western garlic bread. Will Asian ever make the same garlic bread? And i miss the garlic fries in Cedar Point too!
Do i really miss the food, or the good times...
Anyway, don't buy the garlic bread in Fairprice, or you will regret that.

有些中国人...
在新加坡，很多时候，提到中国人，有些人就会摇头。朋友告诉我，以前，有些社会上的女人败坏了中国人的名声。而受过教育的人，不会被人鄙视。
在SMU，仍然有人鄙视中国人。有些人鄙视中国人，是因为我们进了SMU,而有些新加坡人却无法在本地的大学上学，这些我也不在乎，有些事情，就是命运。而有些人鄙视中国人，却是因为当代的或者说是在我身边的中国人，让人不得不鄙视，从来败坏了中国人的名声，让有些新加坡人见到中国人就不愿跟我们一组做project。
话说我的AFA(advanced financial accounting)一组，4个中国人，我一直没在乎。中国人嘛，大家在一起就用中文商量，什么问题也一起解决。一个presentation,2道题，大家一起把问题解决了，于是也很高兴，觉得合作还不错。然而，这是一个presentation + post answers,所以需要把consolidation worksheets做出来，不只是journal entries.于是乎，我开始了艰难的consolidation worksheets的工程。估计学过accounting的人都知道这是什么样子的。最终跟老师结果有差距，于是我一个个找，另一个组员也帮忙，最终弄妥了，softcopy也弄好了。
我准备PPT,尽心尽力的做了很久，大家都说不错。
于是说，大家分配presentation的内容，我说想做第三部分，另一组员也说要做，于是乎，我说你想做就做吧，我做大家都不愿做的intro+first few entries.结果今天presentation了，另一组员说她做Intro，因为她忘了，问了另外两个人，都说是让她做。然后让我做analytical check, 我最不自信的一部分。分配工作的时候，我第一个就说我不做analytical check,难道你们忘了？于是乎，大家想起来是她们弄错了，接着又劝我，“analytical check那么简单，你照着读不就是了！”天哪！！！“如果让我做analytical check,我就不做了。”我没有让步。
上课了，后面的人叽叽喳喳，我听不下去了，"你们选吧，剩下的我做。”我还是让步了。她们没有太过分，还是让我做了我准备的部分。
之前我问，要不要rehearsal一下，大家都说不用，自己弄弄就行。所以我自己在家里练习怎么讲这个道题，结果她们三个都没有准备。讲起来磕磕疤疤，都没有讲清楚为什么要进行不同的adjustment,大家听得一愣一愣的，我就时不时的补充一下。终于熬完了。。。
中国人，本来英语就不好，表达不清楚，有presentation再不准备，觉得什么都会，一上台什么都不会，还有一个人直接靠着桌子背，PPT为你们准备好，只需要你们配合一下，这都做不好，让人怎么尊重你们！
深感气愤！！！
哪一天，中国人都变谦虚了，都踏踏实实做事了，估计太阳也开始从西边出了！
在SMU，仍然有人鄙视中国人。有些人鄙视中国人，是因为我们进了SMU,而有些新加坡人却无法在本地的大学上学，这些我也不在乎，有些事情，就是命运。而有些人鄙视中国人，却是因为当代的或者说是在我身边的中国人，让人不得不鄙视，从来败坏了中国人的名声，让有些新加坡人见到中国人就不愿跟我们一组做project。

拿得起，放得下
说来轻松，做起来却不知有多难。
是双子座的缘故吗，还是什么，我永远都无法轻轻松松的拿起，潇潇洒洒的放下。每次都要有人在旁边提醒，劝告，甚至是批评，说服我，我才可以做到。如果没有一个理由，我就会这样一直错过，直到来不及。
Victor曾经提醒我，“友谊并不是用时间来衡量的。”
Edwin在我要走时提醒我，“你跟Mikael关系挺好的嘛！”
因为这样的提醒，我才能拿得起，才会确定我生活中的人，其实不止是平常人，他们是我的好朋友。
琳曾经批评我，“有些人，不值得做你朋友。”
正是因为这样的批评与告诫，我才可以放得下，放弃一些并不值得的自己付出的友谊。
我身边的人从来都没停止提醒、告诫我，但我从来没有被说服过，所以我一直也不敢拿起，也不敢放下，生怕今后又会后悔。或许，我该自己出息一回，这次就潇潇洒洒的放弃。
最后一次，为你留下几滴眼泪，明天开始，我的世界将会恢复阳光，一切如初……

Creativity
Doing Entrepreneurial Finance project, we need to have a creative business idea and implement it. Let me count my ideas:
1. "Post-it". I had the idea after post-it came out. Well, too late.
2. Online 3-D fitting room: I still think this would make a great business. Next time when you go to ebay or taobao to shop, you will be able to "try" on the clothes. Upload your photo, key in your height, weight and some basic information, the system will be able to generate a 3-D photo of yours! Right now, in the market, there is this "My visual Model" which looks like 3D technology, but is not; and the model is just a model, not you. However, this idea was done by another group last term. My professor shared this idea with them. I wonder if any company is doing this, and I hope to see it in the market soon.
3. Recycle paper by deinking. Ever wondered if recycling paper can be as easy as printing? Not sure if such a technology is available or is realistic, but would anything be able to deink the paper, in the same time, recycle the ink as well. Till now, i couldn't seem to find anything that can achieve the simple purpose. My only concern is that, the cost of recycling might be even higher than going through the whole process of recycling paper by current technology, because the later is on a much larger scale.
4. Transform Radiation to electric energy. Lots of radiation is affecting our health everyday. Imagine that there's such a "protector" that can absorb the radiation and transform it into energy, wouldn't life be much better? According to my research, the technology is available now, which uses nano technology.
Still thinking hard... Will i ever change the world by a little bit?

恐惧
总会时不时的产生一种淡淡的恐惧，一种真实的不安全感，而现在，这种恐惧感逐渐加重。
我真的很怕自己会回到2年前的状态，每天孤独的生活着，为了学习在学校待到12点多，然后一个人委屈的大哭；平时就算听着周杰伦的歌，也会哭得稀里哗啦，于是，到现在我都不敢去听《蒲公英的约定》，《青花瓷》。
现在这个状态，好像又回到了以前，我不知道自己怕什么，如果说现实残酷，那么对有些人来说，更是甚之。而我唯一能做的，只能每天对自己说一句“娜娜加油！”并且真正努力的去做事情！
”娜娜加油！“

Back to reality
School has started for 2 weeks, and I'm back to reality again.
It was so hard for my first week. After 8 months away from SMU, i don't even know how to study!
"I'm very happy that I'm graduating soon;
I'm very sad that school has just started!"
Still, i made it through for 2 weeks, and everything is getting better as time goes by.
When we are back to reality, there will always be something that we will miss from the crazy world, such as the crazy friends we met and the crazy things we did together! And there is always something that we missed and are glad to have back. Maybe that's life. You can't have everything. But who said that we wouldn't be happy with just what we have now? :)
古语曰:"知足而常乐". I am satisfied, and I am happy! And wish I can learn more during my last year in university!

娜娜求职记(三)
5.Vital Juice
If all other 4 experiences are not considered real jobs, working in Vital Juice is the only official job experience I had in Perth. Edwin is a “senior” staff in VJ, and he introduced me this job. VJ is a juice bar, located at Murray Street Mall. We mainly sell freshly squeezed juice & smoothies. Maybe because I like fruits, everything in VJ tastes delicious:
Banana Max: made with milk, banana, honey, yogurt
Mango Mystic: made with tropical juice, mango, strawberry, mango sorbet
Very berry: made with apple juice, strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, yogurt
Immunity: made with fresh apple, celery, ginger, garlic, pepper
Tune up: made with apple, carrot, orange, ginger…
VJ is a crazy place, filled with crazy people. Often, people like something not because the fame, the environment, but because of the people. And VJ is just one example. Let me introduce the people to you:
Starting with the boss – Bob: Bob is a nice middle aged New Zealander. He’s nice in some aspects compared to the prior boss: he doesn’t mix his mood with the business; he’s not very strict, which makes the job very relaxing. Edwin always says he’s nice, but stupid, because he doesn’t really understand the business, and added a coffee machine which has been making loss since Day 1; he works very slowly. My impression of him is neutral. The only thing I don’t like him is that he thinks people are all like him. If he works very slowly, as I a new member, I must work very slowly. I don’t like the kind of employer without the trust and confidence in me.
My trainer – Kevyn: Kevyn is a Chinese from Mauricio. “I don’t speak Chinese; I speak French.” When people talk to him in Chinese, he always replies this way. He has a very young appearance, like 18 years old, while he is 24 indeed. I only got to know his real age on my last day. Judging by his look, “小白脸” would be the first word out of your mouth! Well, that’s not without proof. How to put it, maybe he’s a natural flirter. When he’s in VJ, you can always see him flirt with girls, and interestingly, girls like to talk to him. But the good thing is, he loves his girlfriend. During his last two weeks, he almost worked everyday to earn more money for his trip to KL, to see his girlfriend. Sweet!
When I mention Kevyn, everybody who has been to VJ would not forget how I "hit" him. As we got closer, everything became very casual. He always bitches about the “Meat Ball”, another Aussie girl in VJ. Those bad words, especially the “F” word drove me crazy, and that was how he got beaten by me. After that, he told the people in VJ that I always slapped him. To prove him right, I had to keep doing it, slapping him whenever he talks bad word. So it became a famous sightseeing in VJ. Everybody must have seen that, and they like it!
Mikail: Mikael is from Indonesia. I only got to know him during the second week after I came to VJ. At first, he was very quiet; we didn’t talk much. In the end, we became very good friends. One day, he came to work in the noon. Feeling thirsty, he made a drink for himself. And then, he went to buy lunch; and again, he went to the toilet after that. I sold a few juice in the mean time, and made some samples out of the "chicken soup". Then, a great idea came across my mind. I poured a little bit of the chicken into a "Very berry" drink, and stirred, stirred... He came back, continued with his own drink.
"Hey, Mikail! Do you want the very berry? I just made it!"
"Oh, ok."
"Quickly finish yours, and i'll pour it into your cup!"
...
...
He got really mad over that, and i dared not to make fun of him any more...
I just wonder, "does the chicken soup taste really that bad?!"

娜娜求职记（二）
3. SG Tucker
Mei is a nice person, from Taiwan. She has a small stall in the food court "Food Forum" located at Wembley. She is very direct, in what she says, and in how she acts.
11:05am, i was on the bus to work. She called,
"樊小姐，你还来不来啊?!"
"噢，我在路上呢。不是11：30嘛？"
"噢，11：30啊，对不起啊，我年纪大了，记性不好"
When i reached the stall at 11:20, she apologized again with a big laugher.
She is very bossy, likes to order people around. She doesn't teach people, and assume that I know everything there, based on??? I have no idea. So interestingly, 2 other helpers at the stall do not know much too, even though 1 person has been there for very long time. Therefore, when we work together, it was a bit messy.
The second day, I met this girl called Bobo from HK. She's a cook in HK, also on working holiday visa, does everything well. But I just don't like it when people are arrogant. She messed up the orders, asked me to deliever the food to the wrong customer. When i said, "are you sure? I think this one is..." "Just give to him, I'm sure!"
In the end, the food was wrong. Luckily, they were regular customers, so everything was settled with Mei's big smile.
Mei has a full menu, which has more items, and shows the ingredients of all the SG food. So i tried to show customers the full menu to "grab" more orders. Surprisingly, Mei got angry about that, "Do not show customers that menu, that's for you! If not, they would order Fujian Kuay Teo Mian, instead of Fujianmian". When I was thinking why? Is it more troublesome to make "Kuay Teo Mian"? But we got more sales! She thought i didn't get it, "Understand?" "Yes, understand!"
I got too upset with the wrong order, and Mei's shouts, so didn't want to take lunch. But she made lunch for 3 of us, and I appreciate that. When you are outside, nobody but you can take care of yourself. I have known that a few years ago. That lunch put on a nice image of her in my mind, forever! Due to timing inconvenience, I never went back to work there, though I miss the food a lot, and I got another job, as a babysitter @ Caterina's...
4. Babysitter @ Caterina's
Caterina is a nice and incredibly beautiful Italian lady. With 3 children in the family, i guess she's mainly a housewife; maybe she's in control of some company which doesn't need her physical appearance? Anyway, she's the kind of perfect wife and perfect mother!
Alesia is 8, Sylvia is 5, and Louki is 15 months old. I always love the white babies, because they really look so cute (under the age of 14).
The cute Sylvia looks like a barbie doll, so i always lift her up, just as I lift up a doll. As a 5 year old baby, she doesn't know how to arrange her stuff, how to make her bed. Her room is always messy, without everything lying around. You could find a turtle shaped handmade paper bag in one corner, and maybe a dirty sock in another corner. Helping her clean room is always fun!
Alesia is in primary school now. A little bit older as the BIG sister, she appears more obedient. Interestingly, once she asked me,
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No."
"Then do you have a girlfriend?"
"Oh yea, 2 of you are my girlfriends!"
And surprisingly, another question, "Do you have a baby?" asked Sylvia.
"..."
"Sylvia, she doesn't even have a boyfriend!"
Well, looks like they are too smart!
This is a perfect family, a handsome and gentle husband, a beautiful and nice wife, 3 cute kids, a big house. Sometimes, the girls fight; sometimes, the baby cries; sometimes, the husband comes back late; but more often, the house is filled with laughters, with care, and with love. I want a family like that!

Shopping @ Habourtown
I really LOVE Harbourtown!!!
Shopping one last time before I leave Perth, and I went to Dotti, an Aussie brand which i like a lot. Picked up a few pieces of dress, and was a bit upset when I saw the prices. Some are still expensive even though it's winter time now.
And then I decided to buy a dress for $19.95.
Approached the cashier, took out $20 from my wallet, waiting for the salesgirl to scan and ask me for cash...
Suddenly, i heard a voice, "$9.95"
"What?! $19.95, is it?"
"$9.95!" She answered firmly!
"Ok, wait! I'll just grab another one!"
3 hrs shopping, I ended up with 7 bags, clothes & shoes, for me, and for my friends! :)

娜娜求职记（一）
Exchange life had finished 2 weeks ago, but I chose to stay for longer, and find a casual job, claiming to my parents that "I want to live on my own for a while". So I started the job hunting process before my final exams, and have worked at several places. I don't earn much. There's nothing much left after I pay for my rental & living expenses. Interestingly, I'm enjoying this kind of life, enjoying the simplicity.
The job hunting is never easy in Australia, especially for foreigners. Interestingly, employers recruit mostly PR; foreigners can apply for PR only if they have a job. Haha, still that question of chicken and eggs, who appeared first? Luckily, I'm not part of the it, just looking for a casual job. So i had a few "jobs" or stories relating to my "jobs":
1. Pizza Hut
Got this piece of information that this shop is recruiting, at Innaloo. I talked to Alice (the female boss) on QQ, and we had a nice chat. The conversation included almost everything about the job, like training hours, pay rate, tax, working hours. We agreed on an interview the next day. So i went for the interview. Alice wasn't there, so her husband David interviewed me. We are all Chinese, and we all know that. Interestingly, David started the conversation in a very strange way: he talked to me in English, and he acted very casual. Hmmm, ok, never mind, I'll just talk in English.
"Why do you apply for PizzaHut?"
...... (Truth to be told, I didn't even know the shop was PizzaHut until Alice told me when i asked for the address of the SHOP.)
So i appeared a bit dumb...
"Or are you looking for a job only?"
"Yea, I'm looking for a job...in the food industry" I replied.
Interview continued......
"Ok, Nana, *****"
"Sorry, i don't really understand, could you repeat what you just said?"
And then he appeared a bit unhappy, thinking that I might doubt about his English. The truth is, his English isn't that good, that's why he cares too much.
......
After the interview, i left for home, messaged Alice to see if she wanted to arrange the training for me. 2 days, no reply, so I moved on.
3 days after, got msg from Alice, "pls come for training on Wed afternoon", i never go back again, because I have heard from another employer --
2. KOME Japanese Restaurant
I called Jennifer, the boss of KOME to see if she was hiring. She sounded very nice, and arranged me an interview that afternoon. She's from China, graduated from Curtin Uni, opening the restaurant with her husband Frank. We talked for 20 mins, and everything went well. So my training would start after my last exam. That's also why i was so confident to reply Alice with that "Sorry, i got another job already."
And what happened to me in KOME was just a HUGE surprise. The job was very tiring, but i dont mind. It's a very busy shop, so high level of efficiency is required. The colleague called "Pity" was my trainer. She's from Taiwan, on working holiday visa, a nice young lady. So i just followed her to do everything. Not boosting myself, but I really learnt all the work very fast, coz i have done a lot of work at home since i was very young. She was surprised to see that I did everything so fast, and could remember things so quickly. I even did the first wrap perfectly, so she said I have a gift in cooking/food, and told the boss that I was the smartest trainee she had seen since she came to the store. The couple boss were also very happy.
Ended my work at 4+, Jennifer told me that I would be working 3 days the following week. So i went home.
Received a call on Friday from Jennifer, to see if i can work on Sat. I said yes. So i just did what Pity taught me the day before, and finished at 2pm. Jennifer paid me, claiming that she pays employees weekly. That was the first pay, and my last pay from her. I got FIRED. BOOMZ! What's that??? How did that happen? Till now, i still don't know what happened? Anybody can figure that out by the msg below?
"You are a hard worker and a nice person. But we don't think that we can help each other in this busy time. All the best for your future."
Who needs your help? I just want a casual job! That night, I couldn't sleep until 4am, and I cried. How am i ending up with this? I'm looking for some fun, looking for a job to feed myself for a while, to prove that I can live on my own. And i'm just ending up with being "FIRED". What am i thinking? What am i going through all these for? All the job huntings, all the rejections by employers, am i finished? How much more are there? This is so ironic, "when there's no problem, you create them and slove them". What Chairman Mao said became my situation at this moment!
I thought about going back to SG or China, just change my tickets and then I could say "Goodbye" to all these dramas. Surprisingly, I chose to stay again, and I called Mei for another job at a food court.
The job hunting is never easy in Australia, especially for foreigners. Interestingly, employers recruit mostly PR; foreigners can apply for PR only if they have a job. Haha, still that question of chicken and eggs, who appeared first? Luckily, I'm not part of the it, just looking for a casual job. So i had a few "jobs" or stories relating to my "jobs":
1. Pizza Hut
Got this piece of information that this shop is recruiting, at Innaloo. I talked to Alice (the female boss) on QQ, and we had a nice chat. The conversation included almost everything about the job, like training hours, pay rate, tax, working hours. We agreed on an interview the next day. So i went for the interview. Alice wasn't there, so her husband David interviewed me. We are all Chinese, and we all know that. Interestingly, David started the conversation in a very strange way: he talked to me in English, and he acted very casual. Hmmm, ok, never mind, I'll just talk in English.
"Why do you apply for PizzaHut?"
...... (Truth to be told, I didn't even know the shop was PizzaHut until Alice told me when i asked for the address of the SHOP.)
So i appeared a bit dumb...
"Or are you looking for a job only?"
"Yea, I'm looking for a job...in the food industry" I replied.
Interview continued......
"Ok, Nana, *****"
"Sorry, i don't really understand, could you repeat what you just said?"
And then he appeared a bit unhappy, thinking that I might doubt about his English. The truth is, his English isn't that good, that's why he cares too much.
......
After the interview, i left for home, messaged Alice to see if she wanted to arrange the training for me. 2 days, no reply, so I moved on.
3 days after, got msg from Alice, "pls come for training on Wed afternoon", i never go back again, because I have heard from another employer --

A: I want a lot a lot of LOVE, if not, a lot a lot of money

Good food to share

"When we were walking through the narrow alleys, it was literally impossible not to step in the raw sewage and the garbage alongside the little homes. But at the same time it was also impossible not to see the human vitality, the aspiration and the ambition of the people who live there."
"I thought I wanted a husband, but what I really wanted was a family that was loving. And I fiercely love my children, and they love me back.” She said, “I thought that I wanted to be a doctor, but what I really wanted to be was somebody who served and healed and cured."

Just one last dance
By Sarah Connor & Marc Terenzi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZHrx8gnTWI
Just one last dance....oh baby...just one last dance
We meet in the night in the Spanish café
I look in your eyes just don't know what to say
It feels like I'm drowning in salty water
A few hours left 'til the sun's gonna rise
Tomorrow will come, it's time to realize
Our love is finished forever
How I wish to come with you (wish to come with you)
How I wish we make it through
Chorus:
Just one last dance
Before we say goodbye
When we sway and turn round and round and round
It's like the first time
Just one more chance
Hold me tight and keep me warm
Cause the night is getting cold
And I don't know where I belong
Just one last dance
The wine and the lights and the Spanish guitar
I'll never forget how romantic they are
But I know, tomorrow I'll lose the one I love
There's no way to come with you
It's the only thing to do
Just one last dance, just one more chance, just one last dance

Simple happiness
I was walking down Caporn Street to the shopping center, passing by a small lemonade booth set up by two little girls.
Girl: Would you like a lemonade?
Me: No, thanks.
She was a bit disappointed, and said to the other girl, "We have no business..."
Trying not to disappoint her, I asked, "How much is it?"
"15 cents," answered her.
I handed her 50 cents, and waited for my lemonade to get ready. Meanwhile, she was looking for the change, obviously, i confused 15 with 50. So I gave her a 20 cents coin, got back the 50 cents, asked her to keep the change, and told her that I would grab my lemonade on my way back home.
When I went back, they have left the booth, but I found a lemonade on the table. Apparently, they left it for me. So I grabbed it, and walked towards home.
A girl was running over towards me, it was the lemonade girl.
Girl: My friend is going home; my mum said i couldn't do it alone, so we just closed the booth.
Me: Don't worry.
Girl: Have you tried the lemonade? My friend and I made it by ourselves; it's very nice, better than the ones in the supermarket!
Me: Oh really?! Let me try. (I took a sip) Yes, it's quite nice!
Walking in the same direction with her, i continued the conversation.
Me: so how much did you make today?
Girl: hmm, let me see (counting the coins in her hand)... 1 Dollar & 80 cents.
I couldn't help smiling, "haha!"
Girl: Why? That's quite good!
She appeared a bit serious, so I stopped laughing and assented, "yea, that's quite good!"
"Earlier this afternoon, we had different sizes of cups, and a large one sells 50 cents!" She looked very happy and proud.
When we reached my apartment building, we saw another boy from my neighbours. "Hey! We sold all the lemonades, there's no more for you!" Apparently, she's showing off.
"You want to have mine?" I offered him; he was silent, and looked sad.
Later, I heard him talking to his mother, "They were selling lemonade and they sold all."
A large lemonade selling 50 cents can make a little girl happy; an afternoon's total earning of $1.8 could make her thrilled; a job making and selling lemonade could bring her pride. What about us?
Watching my favouriate Australian show, "Deal or No Deal", I felt lucky for the people who walked away with huge amounts of money. However, how many people didn't stop when they should? Everybody says, "I don't want to be greedy"; however, in front of all the shining money, a tiny little hope that it might become theirs edges out their intellect, they became greedy and lost more on the contrary.
So everything boils down to one simple question, "How much is enough?" While we are struggling to make more money everyday by all means; while we are complaining about the lack of $$$ every minute, are we losing the most important things along the way, the things we used to treasure, the things we are looking forward to in the future, the things we are working towards, the things we think we will enjoy in the future, such as happiness, or a holiday.
When the difference between the poor and the rich can be summarized as the difference bewteen lying on a beach in Perth and Hawaii, why would a Perth person work so hard, save everything to fly to Hawaii?
And think about the days when we were little kids, when we could smile because our parents got us a candy. If we still have that mind of contentment, life would be much simplier, and we would be much happier!
Girl: Would you like a lemonade?
Me: No, thanks.

我的世界
我知道自己有时候想法还是很幼稚，总想象着有一个完美的世界，这样的世界中有完美的人，纯粹的去关心别人，有纯洁的友谊，没有世故、圆滑、小心眼。于是，我想象着自己生活在一个不一样的世界中，可以真心的与别人交朋友，真切的去关心别人，没有任何目的。就像电影"Enchanted"中的世界一样。有时候，为了谦虚，为了不让别人感到不好，我宁愿被别人误会成"笨"，而我也毫无怨言，因为我知道自己并不笨，只要大家都开心就好。很多时候，我会是懦弱的一方，不敢说话，但更重要的是，我经常快乐的生活着，无忧无虑，轻松而欢快。总感觉自己已经看破了尘世，没有多大的事情可以烦到我，人与人之间的勾心斗角对我来说，好像已是前世之事，已经不在我的世界之中了。
但我还是会不高兴，或者说是失望。总觉得出现在我的世界中的人，也是跟我一国的，有着一种纯粹。然而，每个人都有不一样的世界，我怎么可能要求别人跟自己生活在同一种生活方式中？或许，自己的世界，在别人看来只是一种不谙世事与幼稚罢了。而事实是如何，我又怎样为自己的世界辩解？或许更确切的问题是，我为什么还会为别人的举措而感到失望？只是因为“别人”也是出现在自己生活中的人，影响着自己的人。我不再感到对他们失望的那一刻，也就是他们离开我的内心世界的时候，我只是不知道是不是每一个人都将最终离开，也不知道那将是什么时候……
记得以前自己算过几次命，不管准不准，我记得算命人跟我说，你以后会幸福的。一个会看指纹的朋友也说，你以后会幸福的。对他们说的别的话，我可以将信将疑，但对此，我从来没有怀疑过。或许是在骗自己，但我相信我会幸福的，因为我一直都生活在幸福之中。没有什么力量可以比内心的快乐与幸福更强大，而这种快乐的源泉在于看破尘世，或者说是不谙世事，总而言之，是不为凡世之事所累。有这样一种力量，我还乞求什么呢？
我只想说，我不乞求一个富裕的男朋友，虽然口上时时说要找个富翁，只是玩笑罢了。我只想找一个人可以跟我一起在这样的世界中生活，如果没有，我甘愿自己独处一世，我也知足。

Cairns
或许，Cairns是除Perth外，我最向往的城市，因为那里有一个不一样的海底世界。
我喜欢大海，喜欢河流，喜欢湖泊，喜欢一切有水的地方，喜欢一切与水相关的事物。总是幻想着有一天，我可以像像鱼儿一样在水底自由游动；总期盼着有一日，我可以进入海底，睁开眼睛，感受在海里、在水里的境界，看一下另外一个不一样的世界。在凯恩斯，我的这个梦实现了。
在水中看大堡礁(The great barrier reef) 软软的，我都不敢碰；五彩缤纷的鱼儿在水底游来游去，见到你也不会怕，或者受到些许惊吓，一下就躲到reef里面去了，像在跟你捉迷藏。所谓出生牛犊不怕虎，所以小鱼儿们总会跟你在一起玩耍。第一次看到海底世界，竟是这样的斑斓，这样的七彩，我喜欢这样的世界……
Cairns像一座小小的天堂，生活在这里的人都是幸福的，快乐的。市区很小，城市也很小，在飞机上望下去，甚至都可以数得清有几条街道。而这座小小的城市，又是无尽的和谐：街道上，绿化从比车道宽，随处是花，随处是公共设施，到处都是一尘不染。矮矮的楼房，不紧不慢的行人，了了的车辆，给人一种轻松、舒适的感觉。
于是，我记住了、并且永远也不会忘记那片新绿，还有那座绿色的凯恩斯……

Gold Coast
大海似乎特别眷顾这座城市，赋予了她一条无边无际的海岸线，与了无尽头的金色沙滩。于是，这府傍水而息的城市名曰"Gold Coast".
古语曰，“有山则冥，有水则灵”；水，永远是灵性的代名词，有水的地方，就有活力。在黄金海岸这座城市，所有的建筑傍水而立，城市就是海岸，海岸与城市融为一体。绵长的海岸线，狭窄的城市，使海风、海水的气息弥漫整个城市，而且每一座建筑离沙滩都不会遥远。是啊，海水，沙滩，真的好眷恋这座城市啊！
走在市区，徜徉在商场中，呼吸着海风带来的气息，走走停停，闲看着年轻人成群结队的向旁边的沙滩走去，或是一家老少一起就餐，怡然而自得。
漫步在沙滩上，阳光毫不吝惜的照耀着大地，海水是那么的蓝，远处的海岸是那么的平，那么朦胧，而又那么遥远。
在沙滩上，你永远不会被算作一个“最”，总有人比你穿得少，总有人比你漂亮，比你年轻，比你成熟。沙滩，或许真的是帅哥、美女的竞技场吧。看着冲浪的年轻人，只有一个羡慕的份。
Gold Coast，或许是应该一群朋友一起玩吧，而一个人漫步城市街道，徜徉于海滩上，在旅馆中闲坐吹着海风，又何尝不是一种乐趣呢？

Sydney
墨尔本旅途的劳累一直持续了一天，来悉尼的第一天，一直在睡，比在SMU还困，实在是睡不醒啊……于是，第二天，一整天的时间，速食悉尼，游遍了整个市区，加Bondi Beach
说实话，我对悉尼的感觉一般，或许是因为现在对旅游逐渐失去了以前的那种热情，但真的，这个城市一般，勉强说句还好吧……
去了情人港，体会了游人的休闲、浪漫、自在；去了chinatown,看到了华人在海外的生活场景；去了Opera House,见到了比深圳世界之窗更雄伟、更美丽的建筑；去了St Marry's Church，见识了一种宗教在一地的神圣；搭了游船，看到了美玉的悉尼夜景，看到了夜中的剧院，港湾大桥，还有这美丽的城市。
于是我禁不住问自己，so what? SO WHAT? 我又改变了什么？除了多见了点东西外，我又改变了什么？
突然间，我又想到了他，对我说，你不要把一切都弄得那么清楚，这样多累啊，享受生活，学会享受生活。
Relax! 3 days left for the easter break! Enjoy the rest of the holiday!

Melbourne - part 2
Finally, I have finished all my assignments, and got the time to update my blog about previous travel. And here it comes, Great Ocean Road of Melbourne
Great Ocean Road - Melbourne
I like everything natural, and on Great Ocean Road, the 12 Apostles were formed by natural force. When standing in front of them, I was shocked, it is hard to believe that is the strength of nature, so spectacular, so splendid!
Waves gently lap against the shore. Day after day, night after night, layers began appear on the rocks, from the bottom all the way to the top. Year after year, the rock began to split from the coast, and finally formed the 12 Apostles (acutally there are 14). Those Apostles and the layers on them are the witness of time, are records of a story between the ocean and the coast.
Sprays slaps the rocks and the seacoast ceaselessly, but the rocks are still grand. The sun emerged from behind the clouds, the mist began to appear, and wreathe the coast and the rocks. What a beautiful fairyland!

10 Must Dos with Nana
Recently, I have been living alone in a 1+1 flat, enjoying the spacious apartment, and the personal space with friends far far away in other countries. Therefore, I got a bit narcissistic, haha!
Several days ago, i bought a piece of pumpkin, just wanna to eat pumpkin. Have you ever tried those pumpkin pancakes in Singapore when you go to eat steamboat? I have never tried, because I dare not! I just dare not try. Strangely enough, I want to cook them! So here they are! My second try (The first time wasn't good):
When I was cooking pumpkin pancakes, I was thinking about this topic, "10 things you must do with Nana if you are a good friend of hers". How did i start this thought? I just met a new Singaporean friend here. She said she wanted to eat curry stuff, so I went to the web to see how to cook curry chicken, and am thinking to cook it next time she eat at my place. I'm a quite generous person towards my friends, so I'm willing to do many things for them, and with them. Therefore, a good way to measure how close we are is by looking at how many things we have done together. Fair enough? So, I'm compiling this list of 10 "must-dos".
1. Make a change on her: Yes, I take most food, but only normal food which is acceptable to me. I didn't drink milktea, carrot juice, ice coffee. I didn't take Indian food; I was a computer idiot. But now, everything has changed, and all those changes were caused by my friends. No matter what happens, whether they are still my good friends or not, they have made changes on me, and I won't forget how I got to drink milktea, carrot juice, never. If you haven't made any change to me, start with buying me all sorts of drinks! hahahaha!
2. Make a change for her: You can change her, so she wants to change you too.
3. Try her dumplings: most people know that I'm not a bad cook, and dumplings are my speciality. HAHA.:) But I don't cook very often now, and I cook more for my girlfriends, or special occassions only.
4. Get her to cook a meal you like: HAHA. It looks like everything is food related. Yea, I'm willing to cook some special food for my friends, so if you wanna anything, just let me know, then you will get it soon. (provided that I have time, and all the cooking equipment)
5. Watch drama/movie with her: I'm a very optmistic person, so I'm always very cheerful and happy. However, this person always cries at movies/dramas, especially those emotional Korean dramas or Taiwan ones. It's very funny to watch drama with me, see my tears fall, my eyes get red and puffy, what's funnier, I laugh at myself immediately after the show.
6. Tell her about your trouble: It's very strange that I'm willing to listen to my friends' trouble. Maybe it's because I enjoy helping them out. There's this saying, if there is 1 pain, you split it, we both get 1 half. Yes, I'm willing to share that half.
7. Let her make a joke about you: Nana is very funny, probably you know that.:) So let her make a joke about you, and you will remember that joke forever. Anyway, it's just a white joke, even though it doesn't sound very nice, but no harm was intended! Like "听妈妈的话", 哈哈！
8. Watch her do stupid things: Nana is very good at doing stupid things. For example, when she's walking alone, she would think about some funny stuff, and laugh or pat her head; she always talks to herself, like "加油，Fan Nana！", or "Fan Nana，你真搞笑！", "Fan Nana, 你真是笨死了！" It would be fun to catch any of these.
9. Get a hug! A hug is the closest gesture I could give and accept as a friend, haha! And yea, a hug does calm me down when I'm worried; it's also an expression of care if i give you a hug. But, limited amout only. haha!
10. Get your rumor from her: another good trait about Nana is that, she can originate your rumor! 100% original thoughts, absolutely no copyright issue! haha! Good thing or bad thing, i don't care, but it's very likely to happen! Think about yourselves, how many of you haven't gotten 1 from me? I'll make it up to you! (Again, white lie, no harm intended)
So, of 10 in the list, how many have you gotten/done? As long as there is something, it means you are special to me...
Several days ago, i bought a piece of pumpkin, just wanna to eat pumpkin. Have you ever tried those pumpkin pancakes in Singapore when you go to eat steamboat? I have never tried, because I dare not! I just dare not try. Strangely enough, I want to cook them! So here they are! My second try (The first time wasn't good):
When I was cooking pumpkin pancakes, I was thinking about this topic, "10 things you must do with Nana if you are a good friend of hers". How did i start this thought? I just met a new Singaporean friend here. She said she wanted to eat curry stuff, so I went to the web to see how to cook curry chicken, and am thinking to cook it next time she eat at my place. I'm a quite generous person towards my friends, so I'm willing to do many things for them, and with them. Therefore, a good way to measure how close we are is by looking at how many things we have done together. Fair enough? So, I'm compiling this list of 10 "must-dos".
1. Make a change on her: Yes, I take most food, but only normal food which is acceptable to me. I didn't drink milktea, carrot juice, ice coffee. I didn't take Indian food; I was a computer idiot. But now, everything has changed, and all those changes were caused by my friends. No matter what happens, whether they are still my good friends or not, they have made changes on me, and I won't forget how I got to drink milktea, carrot juice, never. If you haven't made any change to me, start with buying me all sorts of drinks! hahahaha!
2. Make a change for her: You can change her, so she wants to change you too.
3. Try her dumplings: most people know that I'm not a bad cook, and dumplings are my speciality. HAHA.:) But I don't cook very often now, and I cook more for my girlfriends, or special occassions only.
4. Get her to cook a meal you like: HAHA. It looks like everything is food related. Yea, I'm willing to cook some special food for my friends, so if you wanna anything, just let me know, then you will get it soon. (provided that I have time, and all the cooking equipment)

You can always be yourself!
Just finished my third presentation since last Friday, and i just want to say, "you can always be yourself!"
I'm taking this unit, "ASEAN economic history". Professor is an Asian, but looks like from areas around Bangladesh. He has an accent which is difficult to understand; he doesn't know what is presentation, because he normally read out the slides; he knows very limited technology, and couldn't even use PPT in tutorial room. Honestly, i don't like him, and i find all the lessons very boring.
Therefore, our tutorials are boring, too. In tutorials, we are to give presentations on particular topics. Learnt from Professor's presentation, my classmates present in the way he did, read out the handouts, little interaction, what's worse, nobody's listening...
I don't like it, i don't like it that people don't take things seriously; i don't like it that people do things just for the sake of doing it. For my presentation, i did tons of research, through two library resources. I really enjoyed the process of research, and I enjoy the journey of learning new things.
And I'm a Toastmaster, I can't tolerate my presentation to be the same as those of my classmates, i can't. You present your findings to your classmates, and if they are not listening, don't you feel that your effort has been wasted? Therefore, I did beautiful slides, and presented with them during tutorial. During my presentation, I could see that, people are listening, at least paying attention if can't concentrate. And with that, I'm satisfied.
Q&A, nobody asked me questions, so i knew that's because my presentation is either too bad, or too good. And i decided to leave it as it is, it's alright even if it's too bad, i have done my job. Till the end of the class, a classmate told me, "Your presentation was very good!"
Yes, you can always be yourself if you want to. Just be you, the "you" who makes you YOU!

Melbourne part 1
Arrived in Mel on Sunday morning, and stayed for 3 days. My schedule was fully packed, with sightseeing & tours everyday, which is even more tiring than the days at school. But it's good.
Met Jenny who flew from Sydney to travel with me, Qian from UWA, Katie & Xian Hui, whom i knew from E&Y! Suddenly i got so many friends in Melbourne, and I'm so proud of that! I like it that I have friends everywhere.
About Melbourne:
Some people say, "melbourne is like a maze, you can easily get lost." Luckily, i didn't get lost. Indeed, Melbourne is very well designed, which can be seen from the alignment of the buildings, and the direction of the streets. As the second biggest city in Australia, it's "not bad", and with the attraction of Philip Island and Great Ocean Road, many people remember Melbourne.
But I'm lost... I start to get lost about the meaning of traveling. You go to a place, unfamiliar with anything there, no place to live, quality of life declines, and then you walk around, look at the buildings and sightseeings, take some photos... Is that what traveling is all about? What's the meaning of traveling anyway? I'm getting too serious. Anyway, something about Melbourne...
--Philip Island
We went to Philip Island, and saw the smallest penguins in the world, those little lives. I admire them being strong, but also pity their weakness. These little birds, spend all days feeding themselves in the sea. Only after sunset, dare they go back homes which are located on the hills cross the beach. And they have to worry about the soaring eagles when they cross the beach. Their so called "homes" are always at risk, so is their life. Even if that's the case, the so called "nice people" continue to bother them! After sunset, when people are supposed to go home, they come to this island, and they watch these birds. Thousands of people... scaring these little birds.
I'm curious to know, why would human, the so called strongest species, like to do whatever we want? Claiming "protecting other species", but is that really protection? Those lamp-posts never off during night; those view points directly destoried the penguins' path; thousands of people every night, scaring those little birds, making their life more dangeous! Why would human be so selfish? Why would they be so curious, so that they can see everything seeable in the world? Why wouldn't human just let it go, let everything in the nature go with the law?
I don't understand, but if that's more fair towards the other species, i would give up the opportunity to see them, rather than to bother them...

Pinnacles & Rottnest island
1. Pinnacles
报了旅游团，周四的时候去了向往已久的沙漠,Pinnacles.其实pinnacles最著名的不是它的沙漠，而是小小的沙漠中突起的小巨石，巨石阵的形成至今还是个迷。
以为所有的沙漠都是绵延无际的；以为所有的沙漠都是踩上去软软的，把脚埋住；以为所有的沙漠都是荒芜的除了沙之外，一无所有……直到我到了pinnacles dessert，我才知道我错了。同时，我很失望，没有见到我幻想中的沙漠。
车开始离去，带着我丝丝的遗憾，心底的不快……
然后来到了一个渔村，要玩sandboarding。汽车泄气后，走了几分钟，就来到了沙群，抬头向窗外望去，这不是沙漠吗？天啊，好像沙漠啊！绵延无际，软软的沙，随着轻风飘荡在空中，一棵植物也没有，这就是沙漠啊！于是我兴奋不已，终于见到沙漠啦！更让我兴奋的是，这里的沙是白色的。之前，我只想见红色的岩石，却不知道还是白色的沙漠，真是太让人激动了。
我不知道我有过多少个梦境，有很多已经实现了，而如今，在我的list中，有3个，沙漠，红石，花海。如果是在春天，也许我已经在perth看到了花海。在秋天的野外，野草已长满，荒芜的可爱，但不是我想看的花海。我想看的，是普罗旺斯的那种薰衣草花海，向日葵花海，有一天，我会看到……
汽车在沙漠中继续行驶，沙堆像一个个的小山丘似的，车子就在这样的山上行驶。远方是蔚蓝的海洋，明朗的天空，白色的沙漠，多么美的一幅画面啊！突然间，前面没有路了，到了小山丘的边缘。而导游却继续向前开，于是我尖叫起来，全车的人都看我，大家也叫起来，车驶向了山丘底，那坡度啊，使一位坐在后面的游客的包一直滚到是最前面……
然后我们在那个坡上玩滑板，从山头一直滑下去，两手伸起，迎风滑去，一个字，爽！
带着一天的兴奋，我们开始返回了。在路上休息，于是大家都弄鞋子里、袜子里的沙，倒在地上。一当地人经过，说了句,"Take the sand with you, we got plenty!"哈哈
2. Rottnest Island
这是我来perth以来第一次与中国人集体行动，一次快乐的旅游！
中国人就是准时，8点到就是8点到，虽然晚了几分钟，但8：10全到了，大家一起搭bus去fremantle乘船。
第一次第那么快、那么起伏的船，难道是印度洋的风浪更紧？呵呵。船在海中行驶，不时的给大家点刺激，感受下失重，我闭上眼休息，听见很多乘客们一次次的"啊!"不错。
又是第一次知道，原来那种双人自行车，需要两人都会骑。我们一行7人，2人不会骑，我就说，可以租2辆双人的，原因是上次我看到一对父子骑，就自然而然的认为小孩不会。而在租车的时候，才知道不行，不过大家愿意一试。还好有两个男生，可以打头。经过几试，觉得行，我们就租车游岛……
骑着单车，在荒凉的岛上行驶，不时停一下，看看哪个人又掉队了，跟伙伴们一起谈笑，吹着海风，真是一种享受啊！上坡时，听着Zero同学像牛一样的叫着蹬车，看着可怜的Fanny同学跟在0后面，细细的双腿飘在空中，真是搞笑。
停下来休息几次，大家都喊饿了，岛上却只有东部有卖吃的，我们却还在west end，那个无奈啊。我呢，带了饭，大家说不吃，我也没法吃，真是伤心啊！0同学带了巧克力，大家吃了一半，他再分时，骞同学讲，唉，现在才1点半，我们要骑到8点多来，到6点多肯定饿，留着吧！于是大家笑成一团。
上路，看到是Quokka，真的是小袋鼠哎，不过还是像老鼠，我照了张相，赶紧跑。0居然给老鼠喂笔，气得我一脚把他胳膊踢开，痛得他直叫，活该！一会又给它们喂树枝，真是无奈啊。骞同学说，quokka挺像0的，什么都吃，于是大家又笑到肚子难受……
Anna跟Zero带了泳衣，那么冷的天，居然想游泳，还真的在一个海边脱了鞋，不知道为什么没游，笑死人…
继续上路，一路欢笑，又看到了发电的风车，看到了红色的湖，anna跟骞讨论，到底是4氧化3铁，还是3氧化2铁，呵呵，无奈，大家都忘了，无果而终……
看到了房屋，于是大家看到了希望，希望啊，可以吃饭了！速度开始加快。
吃完饭，骞同学开始给大家算卦，还不让人说是算卦，说是叫开启心灵之门，大家吃进的饭差点喷出来。我第一个算，算什么呢，算人生吧。算得水平呢，也不知道高还是低，马马虎虎吧，中间说了一句，其实我也不太知道，得看看说明书，我们狂晕，我直接就逃了！他说，不行，不能逃，得算完……
不过呢，这种算卦，就算是给人一个小提醒吧，谁能说得准会发生什么啊，但像“人无远虑，必有近忧”这样的醒世名言，还是需要我们思考的。
然后之后的人，全都算爱情，我晕！看来我真是看得开，爱情这种东西嘛，该来的时候，自然会来的，消极是有点消极，但应该比积极主动更具保护性吧，毕竟这样不会容易受伤吧，哎，不管了，无所谓。
一天以冰冷的气候结束，大家说好recess后一起去swan vally或者margerate river, looking forward.我快冻僵了，上车，回家，煮面，开始暖了过来……
看照片才发现，我其实挺胖了……无奈了。

Bad things happened in a row
Got to know some Chinese students through a Japanese friend, so got to know that they are all awared a scholarship which is supposed to be available to Asian students, but Singapore is an exception.
Couldn't concentrate reviewing Phychology. Before lecture, found a Chinese student besides me, so i was very glad and started to talk to him. But things don't work out as well as what you think, he appeared very proud, so i hate proud people!
After my education tutorial, i was walking back home till half way, but found my sunglasses missing again! Went back to the education library, luckily, it was sleeping there. Or i would have killed myself!
Cooked mutton again, but too much is too much! I don't feel like eating it any more!
Just when i was resting on bed, a violent storm came, with hailstone as big as eggs! "bang-bang-bang", it was very scaring! And suddenly, i heard the sound of window breaking, i thought it was from the neighbour's, but it turned out to be mine! Correctly speaking, most windows of the building were smashed. I started to panic, looking at the ground full of white hailstones, i was terrified. Half of the leaves/fruits on the tree fell, and some tree were only left with branches...
Car accidents happened everywhere; cars were smashed in so many places; library was closed. The glasshouses of the School of Agriculture were damaged so heavily.
There was still a welcome drink to be held in Business school @4:30, and i had to be there. After the storm, i was so terrified; even i went there, i didn't feel like speaking or talking, and everybody looks professional, so i left...
In the evening when i was cooking, the power went out! The room turned dark! In the light of a small torch, i started my dinner...
My roomie came home, she brought the power back! But with a piece of news i'm not sure if it's good or bad, she's going home for holiday for about a month because of the damages to her glasshouse, she couldn't continue with other experiment. Would i be scared in the autumn or winter, when storm is often...
And then, i had diarrhea, and felt tired...
During the night, i couldn't sleep well, woke up many times...
Are the bad things enough???

Life is like heaven when you don't study
haha. Yes!
Life is like heaven when i don't have to worry much about study!
Study is much more fulfilling when i don't have to worry about grade!
Aussie girls like to wear a kind of dress, with a plain top, and a skirt with little flowers. They look very beautiful! And i bought several pieces last saturday.
Outlet shopping is just driving people crazy, because $1 there doesn't equal $1 outside any more. People just spend money like mad... as least this is what happened to me.
Anyway, I'm very happy, with 3 dresses, 1 skirt, 1 pair of shoes, 1 bag, 1 pair of sunglasses from the outlet shopping. Cheers!

学校的无线网，我的电脑是真的享受不了，我放弃了……
偶然知道学校原来可以借网线，于是用起了有线网，终于可以享受网络的畅通了，我的天哪！
前天意气风发的定了recess week的旅游机票，9天，去东部海岸玩一圈！要不是时间不够，我肯定会去Alice Springs，不过这样也不错。
Perth --> Melbourne --> Sydney --> Gold Coast --> Carins --> Perth
自己一下就定了5张机票，现在呢，还没人随行的人呢，不管了，就自己一个人去吧，呵呵。
还有我很想去的尖锋石阵，$145一天，豁出去了，改天有时间就去！
呵呵，网畅通了，心情不知不觉就舒畅了……

Beach
周末去了著名的Cottesloe Beach,很美。
不过我觉得，比起汹涌的大海，我现在更喜欢安静的港湾，像Matilda Bay这样的，安安静静的，适合家人、小孩玩耍。
有时候，我觉得的自己第六感觉真的很准。真的很不想去Beach，结果去了，就把太阳镜丢了。就像上次一样，不想去WWW，去了就把相机丢了。太阳镜丢了，我真伤心了，不知道弄坏、弄丢几副了，下一副什么时候再买……
传几张照片吧
