hurricane katrina

can't believe that the liquid state of "the day after tomorrow" happens in real life. the hurricane in the gulf coast is very scary! i watch the news tonight n i wonder if i could survive if i was there. that also reminds me that richmond, where i live, may sink one day. dad said the government has warned people to leave already but some just didn't. i wonder why. they miss their home that they can't give it up? they are too poor to afford a bus ticket to leave the town?

lord jesus, no matter what, help them, comfort them, let them c u, seek u, n experience u.

Mr. Postdoc's new pic

guess how old is this guy?
seriously. don't laugh.
do u think he's younger than me?

poster..

got a response from my friend: "wah mandy, your room is really messy wor..."
reply now: "yes. that's scientist ma.."
but i can show u the most tidy corner of the room: the posters, which u can barely c them in the pic.
n that can also explain why i'll go to aaron's concert...
and once more, it's not the muscles that made me like him.
the killing part is his eyes.
hor hor hor~~~ guess u must be laughing by now.
yet.. my favorite is not him anymore but i have no room for my new love's posters.
n he's coming to hold a concert for me within a month!
horhorhor... exciting!!!!!!

Tricked by ubc

last friday, we, my group, were all assigned for 1 more unit of TA in the following term because our supervisor's research account was in debt. in fact, his account has been in debt for years and i was told that this was pretty normal for new professors. somehow, department or university will bear with it and the professors will earn enough "$$" from who-knows-where to pay it off in yearssssss. the worst thing is, ubc suspends derek's account. which means, no more $$ to buy chemicals or equipments. in that case, how can a lab be running? no production = no result = no more $$. derek said he didn't know if ubc is using this to threaten the government for more funding towards scientific research @ ubc. but as graduate students, we are suffering RIGHT NOW. we don't even have a chance to fight or object it. we were JUST TOLD A WEEK before school starts. it's not fair. my labmates even claimed they would switch to other school if nothings gonna be done. we may even have no paid in the coming summer. the summer paid is supposed to be coming from supervisor's account n no TA jobs will cover it.

in the start of our program, we were guaranteed to do at most a certain amount of TA units unless you have scholarship to cover it. now it's like, in the middle of your contract, your job description is changed. where's the trust? is that how the world runs now?

derek said it's gonna be a tiny thing n don't make it too big. after you graduate, make real money n u won't even remember. focus on the future thing.... what happen now will become history. not even noticeable. right. but i m suffering it now! so?

i m not actually worrying abt $$ coz i m still living w/ my parents and i got a scholarship this year plus i m gonna leave soon. what abt those who don't? how can they survive through this sudden change? can they still afford to live in vancouver?

thx to ubc for letting me realize how the real world runs.

人生意義

Tonight, I have my fellowship to discuss about 人生意義. After one whole year talking about Purpose-driven life (luke), are we still very lost? To my surprise, even being a christian, we find ourselves very lost too! and it's a very deep and hard topic! too serious that people find it hard to share.

Is it really that hard? Personally, we all know that we should glorify God. but how? i think the most difficult part is you dunno what exactly God wants u to do. the particular plan on you. me dunno either. what i do know is, He must have a plan on me. Watch "simon birch" when u have time. Anyway. thank God that He's still with me when i m soooooo lost. heehee..

Lyrics of 天才與白痴

Recently, friends keep asking me the meaning of my msn nickname...
afterall, i just wanna promote the new song of leo ku: 天才與白痴
and i like this song more yet i don't understand part of the lyrics...

才女收鮮花一般較多　失蹤光陰一般較多　藉口　都更多
傻奸奸當然肯聽你講　這些散餐根據你講　當然得我熱情過拍拖
寂寞地開心唱歌　尚且肯欺騙著我
如高手的你尚有伴侶可以無限拖
榮譽都歸於我　高於一切　平淡拍拖

這個白癡　為了陪你活一次
沒智商　得個痴　時常被騙極容易
誰若有日你鍾意　心計令我詐不知
然後最終　眼看然後你都未曾在意

這個白痴　受你蒙騙亦可以
受你點　給你指　到最終的那時
時已至此　誰會最易
迫你成熟　開口講我願意 woo woo
其實詐蠢　全為你　付出的機智

傻奸奸一般聽你說起　一堆一堆關於我的是非　仿似真
無端端講起因此你說　彼此空間不可太少　因此所以未來難貼身
樣貌是七分認真　但得到一個別吻
還得到口訊在掛念我使我還著緊
回復高手的你　出手傷我　還是快感

這個白痴　為了陪你活一次
沒智商　得個痴　時常被騙極容易
誰若有日你鍾意　心計令我詐不知
然後最終　眼看然後你都未曾在意

這個白痴　受你蒙騙亦可以
受你點　給你指　到最終的那時
時已至此　誰會最易
迫你成熟　然後承認愛意 woo woo
其實詐蠢　全為你　付出的機智
