Breaking Steps in Life

19 June 2008
After few weeks of swoc wat, finally we are free!!! After 5 days of exam, now I only update my blog. LOL. In these 5 days, everything was so fun without stress!! World changed upside down.. on 19 June 2008, we (Lin, Jessica, Yung Ying & I) had dinner with Sheryl’s mum and grandma. The food were really delicious there, yummy… But the best part was we all were in a car travelling on the road, but didn’t have any idea where to go and what to do!! We’re shouting in the car with the ideas and comments from 5 people. Inside the car was fully blasted with laugh and fun!!! Ended up we had an ice-cream in Cold-rock and sang K in Lin’s room!!! (CK and ZP, we didn’t even reach Glen Waverly for K singing).

Happy Birthday, Yi Chin :)

We ‘re jus doing nothing much at home, mostly resting and watching movies!! Suddenly when I was having nap, Chau Wang banged in and invited us to have a movie (The Chronicles of Narnia- Prince Caspian) in Glen Waverly!! In less than 10 min, we decided to go and left halls!!! Everything was so rush till Yun Ying even forgot to bring her wallet…and we just managed to board onto bus when we’re running to the bus stop!!! It’s really a good movie and we had a Vietnamese dinner. Yummy, I love that Vietnamese coffee… (Clarice, guess u like that coffee as well )

21 June 2008
Shopping day!!! Initially was main for groceries shopping, but we bought so much from K-Mart!!! I got my lovely speakers (2 Altec-Lansing speakers with a woofer). The sound is so good and now I really enjoying so much of watching movies and listening to songs in my room!! And we had a early celebration for Nooi Hoay’s birthday!!! Hope u like that Wasabi rice ball I made though maybe not powerful enough. My neighbor, hope u like that carrot I made o..:) Happy birthday!!! No matter what u are OLD now!! :P

My lovely speakers...:)

Ling Weng, see I went to city to meet u :).... but is really good to meet you all (Ling Weng, Yee Fang, Yi Theng and Yi Jia). It’s been so long never see u guys, guess 1 yr since your last visit to Melbourne. Though just a shot lunch, and u all just transit here 12 hrs to New Zealand. Have fun over there. A new discovery in Melbourne, I had the first ever delicious roast pork in Melbourne!! It’s really so tasty…again FOOD…. Also, after lunch, Yun Ying and I went to St Kilda for a walk there, another discovery that we never see the whole St Kilda area during our first visit last year. We just barely visit a small part of St Kilda beach, and didn’t even know about the famous cake houses in St Kilda. Eventually, we visited the beach again, and definitely the whole area hopefully. And we got sth special for one of our friends in Deakin Hall, for his/her birthday from St Kilda art market. And sure for the famous cake bakery, we bought a slice of famous cheese cake home!!! FOOD…AGAIN…but..is nostalgic...

23 & 24June 2008
Nothing much was done other than having much and much more rest and more movies. Movies were so good with the speakers, no more headphone is needed though the sound quality is not really good. Badminton was so fun after so long never have time for my body work out…I did some great moves and return. Haaa

Thanks to Jessica of planning and making the trip to Mt Dandenong a success. The weather was so sunny but the wind was so strong to blow people away. The Port Phillips bay where the whole Melbourne metropolitan and Geelong located can be seen with naked eyes!!! Even the MONASH University can be marked on the view. In the jungle, the scenery was like in the movie of Narnia or Harry Potter, definitely countless of pictures were taken. I never imagine MY back up plan to puffing billy was going to work. As everyone was too freezing to have a jungle walk around the mount area, we eventually went to Puffing Billy, one of the world most welcomed steam trains in the world. It’s though a bit expensive for trip from Belgrave to Emerald, but was really enjoyable as we had the whole room for ourselves. The photos will be uploaded soon. Everyone was so ‘high’ on the journey, we even invited to have a look on the locomotive engine, how the steam engine worked by burning black coal. And we also meet the other train on Menzius Creek station while I ran over to get the greatest ever opportunistic photo with the moving steam train, (thanks to Jessica also). LOL. Eventually everyone was tired, and we awarded ourselves with the mouthwatering Korean BBQ dinner in Clayton…uhmmmm…….FOOD again!!!! :P

***Fun still on for the holiday, though we are not going interstate, Victoria and Melbourne can still have so much fun…

Here is the Picture!! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=45940&l=ac078&id=503833486

To my dear daddy,

Happy Birthday!! It's another year I am not at home to celebrate your birthday with you and family. I really wish that I can be back home to have the family time with everyone in the family. I love the feeling of being home, being loved by everyone. You can be my hero, my lovely daddy, my friend or my brother at anytime.

Daddy, always take care and have rest. Don't get yourself too busy and must relax as well. Hope you like the present I buy later when I bring it back home in the end of the year. :)

Love you.

I got this in my email, it's really interesting, but is it fact?
Anyone free to check up, pls dun forget to give any comments. :)

BUTTER VS. MARGARINE

Pass The Butter ~ ~ ~ ~ This is interesting . . .

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys.

When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.

It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.

How do you like it?

They have come out with some clever new flavorings.

DO YOU KNOW...the difference between margarine and butter?

Read on to the end...gets very interesting!

Both have the same amount of calories.

Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams compared to 5 grams.

Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.

Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.

Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few only because they are added!

Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.

Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.

And now, for Margarine...

Very high in transfatty acids.

Triple risk of coronary heart disease.

Increases total cholesterol and LDL(this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDLcholesterol, (the good cholesterol)

Increases the risk of cancers up to five fold.

Lowers quality of breast milk.

Decreases immune response.

Decreases insulin response.

And here's the most disturbing fact....

HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC...

This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

You can try this yourself:

Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area.

Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:

* No flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)

* It does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value

*Nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weenie microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.

Why?

Because it is nearly plastic.

*Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

约定 * 副刊 * 星云

甚么是“约定”？和你一起决定做的事，就是全世界最重要的约定……“约定是最好的礼物，送给你最想约定的人”这是新买的书上標题，很醒目，让我忍不住买下来了，因为它让我想到你，想到我们的约定，我们还有很多约定吧？虽然多数都是在不经意或隨口许下的，但也已构成承诺了吧？也代表那时的你的心情吧？

別为了因为要实现承诺而去做某件事情，或在许诺之后因为要兑现承诺而觉得麻烦，那会抹煞你许下承诺时的庄重虔诚心情。请好好记住：那时的你为何要说出那句话？因为那个理由而去努力吧，那会让你觉得世界因此而美丽；而我，是被你那时的诚恳真实而感动而期待你的表现，请別让自己“嫌麻烦”的心情破坏了对彼此的信任和价值。

只要一个小小的约定，就可以改变关係；只要一个小小的约定，就可以產生爱的力量，你相信吗？你愿意吗？

餐桌上的炸鸡腿 * 副刊 * 星云

2008-05-26 16:47

今天放工回家，看见餐桌上的一盘炸鸡腿很惊讶，以为妈妈来了。那一刻我无法回过神来，满脑海里都是妈妈的影子和我们小时候调皮的模样。那一盘炸得金黄色的鸡腿，让我想起好多好多的童年回忆。

小时候，妈妈很喜欢炸鸡，因为她知道我们个个都爱吃，尤其是我和弟弟。还记得小的时候，每当闻到香喷喷的炸鸡就会跑到厨房，站在旁边等在油锅里游泳的炸鸡上岸，然后用最快的速度放进嘴里，深怕它会突然跑掉。但大多数都会吐出来，因为太烫了，这时候妈妈就会用嘲笑的口气骂我们：“真笨，这么热怎么吃？烫伤了想吃都没得吃，等会再吃吧！”为了不让那美味的炸鸡流入別人口里，我们只好乖乖地听话。有炸鸡的那顿饭，我们等得特別心急也特別开心。我最爱吃鸡腿，弟弟也是。所以妈妈常说：“幸好，一只鸡有两条腿，不然你和弟弟俩就要爭个你死我活了。”还好，哥哥姐姐们都会把那两只鸡腿留给我和弟弟，要不然真不知妈妈要到哪儿找一只有四五条腿的鸡才好呢！

长大以后，我还是最爱鸡腿，但不是炸的。因为太油腻了，也因为爱美的关系，所以对炸鸡腿是又爱又恨，爱它的美味恨它的肥腻。但今天不一样，看到那很久很久以前就爱的炸鸡腿，我放纵自己，把一只又大又肥的鸡腿啃个精光，那种小小的满足和幸福好久没出现过。里面有妈妈的味道也有童年的回忆，所以吃起来特別开味，特別好吃。那久违的炸鸡腿，真让人怀念。

望着堆积如山的课业，望着窗外浓雾朦胧的大地。。。
真是感触良多，脑海中闪过无数的脑波，
1。 冬天的到来，让我喜爱的秋天刮走了。
2。 浓浓的雾把握窗前的美景披上神秘的面纱。。。

望着墙上的Poster, 好想回去在西巴丹岛的那一刻。。。好怀念那优美的人间仙境。。。






劲彦，不要做白日梦了！！！
还是该好好的准备课业！！！ ：P
