超級市場的誤會

離遠看見這個「中國野生小黃花」的減價宣傳，心想唐人超市幾時開始有花賣？仲賣Ｄ山邊的Daisy咁型？

我揾極都唔見Ｄ水桶呀，花盤呀的物體，直至去到雪藏部：

原來是...小黃花魚!

做乜嚟揾我呀？

話說媽媽有次去針灸，針灸師摸到媽媽耳後有硬塊，死口咬定那是癌症腫瘤。媽媽擔心得連飯也吃不下，家庭醫生最後安排了媽媽去找耳鼻喉專科醫生。

醫生：你咩事來看我？
媽：無... 我有點鼻敏感
醫生：鼻敏感為何來找我？(我想：家庭醫生覺得我媽要來看你嘛)
媽：無...耳仔後面有舊野，唔知係咪...
醫生：唔知係咪鼻煙癌？好，（摸完耳背）摸唔到喎，你做咩嚟睇我？
媽：我伸鼻涕間唔中有點鼻血
醫生：流了多久？
媽：都一段時間
醫生：十年？ (我想：流十年鼻血恐怕我媽已死了，仲駛揾你？)
媽：咁有無！
醫生：兩年？
媽：差不多
醫生：你父母有鼻煙癌嗎？
媽：我爸是肺癌死的
醫生：肺癌跟鼻煙癌是不一樣的！(我想：你認為我媽要學好點中文嗎？連肺癌和鼻煙癌也分不清？)
媽：我知
醫生：又不是遺傳，你做咩嚟睇我？(我想：哎...醫生，唔通真係貪你靚仔想見下你咩？)
媽：無...我驚住係...
醫生：你驚有鼻煙癌係唔係？
媽：係嘅...
醫生：好，你驚有鼻煙癌所以來看我
媽：係囉
醫生：係就得嘞。等我看看。嗱，我伸條喉入去鼻看清楚吓。好乾淨，乜都見唔到，無鼻煙癌。我再伸落去看清楚喉嚨。乜都無，無鼻煙癌，唔駛驚。(我想：醫生，你好似sales咁呀...好hard sell)
媽：醫生，我信你啦...
醫生：放心，唔係鼻煙癌，唔駛驚！慢慢行...

醫生，無咩事我也不想見你，多得你大大聲說我媽無鼻煙癌，佢終於可以大大啖咁食大餐...

咁啱嘅？

我在看別人的Wedding album中居然見到久未露面的表弟。

好似春田花花幼稚園的校長說：咁啱嘅？出街呀？

What's your FB picture look like?

i guess we have a couple more options:

You with your significant pet

You with a very cute kid

You with your significant "friend" or "relative"

Something that you like, could be a pet, a flower, a thing

a picture you took that you are so proud of

Who's winning to be a postdoc?

hahhaa... sorry.. so many comics these days... as i just love it...

案發現場

早幾天看見車禍後的場面，沒有目睹事發經過，但看見一輛車打橫瞓在在街上，心也寒了。

新聞報道的誤會

警方的「數獨」行動

我以為警察很喜歡玩sudoku...

其實係：掃毒行動

***************

nalgene出的「膠水」樽

我以為nalgene又出一些樽來裝膠水：glue bottle

其實係：plastic water bottle - 「膠」水樽

***************

我想，我的聽覺可能有點問題。

What's postdoc???

食得唔好哂？

第一次好勇地沒有煮到埋嚟就食。

一路想，究竟食住先抑或等到我想食的來到才吃？

等，又等到幾時先會俾我等到？

我問過可唔可以俾多塊扒我，他說最多俾舊排骨仔我。

我知道我唔夠飽係唔會滿足，與其食得唔開心，把心一橫，唔食你！

想不到，我居然這麼大膽。

雖然忍餓中，但我好平安。

Portland Trip: Wal-mart

Look at that!! so many many big drums of beer!

it's 5L each! can someone shot-gun w/ it!?

and we found the new oreo flavor: strawberry milkshake

and of cos... lots and lots of chipsssss!!

Portland Trip: Church

We went to the First Baptist Church in Portland for the Easter Sunday service. To accommodate our shopping plan, we attended the earlier service and missed the big one in the chapel hall:

Portland Trip: Comics

When we were resting in a coffee shop, we came across this comic on the local newspaper:

Later, we went to a christian bookstore and saw this japanese comic bible:

my name

i found that people start to spell my name as "manday"

a feel of "monday" but it's not actually monday

or is it just a typo?

maybe i should change my blog to manday on earth...

and it becomes 人地 on earth

i hate extended deadline too...

crap! another week of work!?

沒有網上＋無工番的日子

每天晚上總是很不自在的，好像有許多能量未得排放，那種谷住谷住的感覺。

睡覺總是常常嚇醒

每天都與telus保持緊密聯絡，每次起碼一小時，不過有70%時間是在電話線上被控制員調來調去，等人睬我等到cut咗線。

每日都有任生指導我如何教訓telus，我的回應是：「不如你打去310-22-55同佢講多一次？」

一星期飲至少兩次茶，每次同埋Ｄ親戚飲之前都要夾口供，我決定由我父母作為我的代言人，等他們自由發揮這個創作空間，我負責話「係呀」同make sure自己食過每一籠點心。

我的耳朵聽完親戚談話總是很累，忍耐程度越來越低。

功夫？

我要去麥當當買早餐給男朋友吃：

媽：你可以去「功夫」嗎？
我：「功夫」？
媽：是啊！go through!
我：啊，go through...媽，那些叫"drive through"呀！
媽：呵呵呵！

mistake?

I like this comic

I love this comic.... just because it does describe the life of PhD students ...

and this is probably what's going on in my life now... thinking what i want to do....

祈禱的功效

星期日，我跟神說：

我的生命好像很混亂，只有忙碌，什麼事也看不順眼，很久也沒有靜下來的時間同你傾偈，我需要為自己的生命重新定位。我不知道需要什麼改變，但你是知道的，總之，我會跟住你走，但你要讓我明白啊！

不要輕看祈禱的力量，星期二的早上，我突然被公司通知要"let me go". 沒有原因，我不明白，連同事也不明白。我只能順從。心裏一直哼著，"You give and take away, You give and take away," 收拾後，honey接了我，淚水便一直不受控制地流。直至我想起自己的禱告，我想，神要我在這個崗位上的學習已經足夠，是時候離開，重整了。

之前在Jubilization聽到這首歌，心想，我唱得出，做得到嗎？

我想，此刻我心裏真的可以繼續好rock地唱下去：

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name

- Beth Redman and Matt Redman

bf vs fb

人際關係一二三

咁啱嘅？出街呀？食飯未？食咗嗱？得閒咪，call 我囉！

如果真係咁簡單就好了！

大屋

littlefish: 我要間大Ｄ的房
me: 點解？
littlefish: 我Ｄ玩具唔夠位放
me: okay....
心想，你買咩玩具咁大件？唔通同爸媽換房？
littlefish: 你看看這間好不好？

Fun @ Sunday School

未有Activity Teachers之前，我們還要設計Bible Story以外的活動。作為老師的我，當然不忘整蠱他們一番。

鼠鼠鼠鼠

年三十，

又帶著性感的聲線過年

仲帶住帶了一個月的手扣過年

第一次遲到開會：過年前，終於嘗試了第一次番工坐巴士瞓到坐過龍去了downtown，仲要揀正一早八點要開會的早上。真刺激

臨過年的血光之災：第一次刷牙俾個牙刷撞爆牙肉係咁流牙血。

真係鼠鼠聲過鼠年。

300 - the movie

me and honey spent 20 min, sitting on the couch at futureshop to watch the HD TV. It was playing 300. So, we end up renting the movie to finish it.

When my friend first talked about it, she said, of cos these guys will lose! They only wore swimming pants!

hahahah...

after i watched it, i actually admire the passion, courage, and loyalty of those soldiers! They are fighting for their family, for those who cannot fight, for the country, for sth right to do. Even the females are strong and stand firm. Especially for the leader, he let those who fear, hurt, leave them and tell the rest of the country about their story. His willing to sacrifice and his courage to protect his people, is something hard to find in the leaders nowadays. I was very touched by the story... even though it's very slow compared to those chinese kung fu movie.

We are the Pirates.... who don't do anything!

I went to the theater to watch "Pirates - who don't do anything" on the weekend. It's a good and funny movie that we enjoyed it very much!! I recommend whoever have kids, should bring their kids to watch! A terrific lesson on "Heroes"!

Honey: Can we get two tickets for the "Pirates"?
What I heard from the Cashier: We don't do anything?
Honey: Yes.
I (silent for 3 seconds): okay.... I heard you said, "we don't do anything..."

派卡片

第一次見客。

第一次主動同客人握手。

第一次派卡片，不是給朋友，而是給客人。

感覺：我長大了！

我不能再跳跳蹦蹦扮cutey.（ 我畢竟也是個博士啊！）

選擇做lab, 就是不喜歡見客，與人打交道，總覺得同人握手難熟咁（又唔係發自內心的關心），好扮野。（要不來個擁抱吧！）

從來沒想過有朝一日自己會主動同人握力，但，感覺又不是很差。

感謝神我有ＶＰ照住，全個見客過程我也只是講了：hello! right.... thank you!（哈哈哈！想不到這樣就混過了！）

萬萬想不到一個博士會做一些ＯＬ, sales的工作，可惜嗎？

思想過後，我發現現在所學的，是學校學不到的人際關係，處事技巧，不能大意睇漏眼，點樣喺工作中做一個基督徒，唔係扮清高，唔係事事say yes，點樣應付其他同事們的催逼，點樣將Science put into practice. 解釋給客人聽。我，依然很熱愛我的工作。

感謝神，我有一個好上司，一個肯幫我一齊解決問題的好上司。

HAPPY Birthday

金錢不是萬能，但若金錢能買到令人快樂的東西，我想，這筆錢有時候也是值得花的。

看見ＬＬ這個開心的樣子，我就知道買起這個性感馬騮精是正確的決定。

很懷念它

The christmas tree in UBC chem department....

Opera Sushi

The "black" sushi was okay... it looks funny and fill u up. but i didn't hear the chef singing opera... too bad...

Not so with me

... You will have the poor with you every day for the rest of your lives. Whenever you feel like it, you can do something for them. Not so with me....

i didn't have much feelings when i first heard that there's sth wrong w/ u. but the more i think abt it, tears just keep falling my heart. in the past, when u insist that i should chat w/ u on the phone because "not so with me", i just laughed abt it. but now, i know u r correct. i miss u. give me a call when u r back.

UTI

haha.. I am, better say wayne is, still organizing my grad pics. I was going to do sth with them yesterday but I was suddenly very sick. I suddenly got UTI yesterday and my body heat up to fight against that, ie fever. Early in the morning, 4am, I needed to go to bathroom but the urge to pee lasted for hours, ie your bladder feels very full all the time. It was painful and annoying that I couldn't fall back to sleep! I took herbal medicine in the afternoon. I feel a bit better as the "urge" slows down. Later, i am so afraid it'll go worse so I went to see a western doctor who opens on sunday, and gave me antibiotics. I kept drinking water, cranberry juice, and kept peeing and lying in bed for the rest of the day and night....

It was awful!!! what the story taught was, never hold your pee no matter how busy u r at work!!! it'll add up and your body will finally suffer from it....

p.s. I am surprised to see that the doctor on duty was my friend!!!! she started her medical school while i began my grad school. so happy to c her back and...healing me.. haha!!
