Um... A lesson for thousand:
Don't believe debit card as a convenient paying method... Sometimes you regret why you pay that fast.

Laptop...
Today the IT guy in my company came to me and asked if I am interested to replace my desktop with a new laptop. It sounded like a really good deal at the first place though I will have to give up my 21" LCD monitor, the greatest component of my desktop.
But then, when I asked him what will be better if I choose the laptop, he hesitated and said something I couldn't really hear. Lastly, he said I can take it with me if I need to work at the lower level. Sure, that's a laptop.
His response made this deal very suspicious. Indeed, if he just said something about the configurations of the laptop, I probably won't know what he was talking about. Later in the day, I was then told that IT people used to trade others' desktops with some really crappy laptops. When I was so worry that my computer will be downgraded, I was later, fortunately, informed by my department manager that it's up to me to decide if I want to keep the old one. :) (That guy came to me when the manager was gone, made me felt like it is a compulsory trade.)
When someone who are not usually helpful wants to give you a deal, don't be too excited and think twice about it. Something may be just too good to be true.

Pilates
Yestersday, I planned to go for a Yoga class as I haven't done that for a long time and it's good to do some weight training after a few weeks of aerobic exercises. When I got to the gym, I realized that I was looking at the old schedule and the Yoga class was substituted by a Pilates class. I've never been to one but, hey, why not? So, I signed up.
I used to think that Pilates is something really similar to Yoga as they always took place at the same room and there are music, yoga mat, people dress in the same way.... but my perception changed once the class started.
We kept doing that crunching for 45 mins. That made me felt like I was in a boot camp. My toe even cramped. x_x"
The funniest part was, the instructor probably saw me and he said, ' See, Pilates always promotes cramping."
So, I decided to join this class regularly until I can survive it.

Moving
Moving day. The office looks really similar to the old one but indeed different. I still take the same spot but the people around me have changed their seats. It's like what we did in school every new semester. That's something we did long long time ago.
Um..... and I found out, everything tastes great if I don't taste them. Say, I always wanna buy some packed fruit sold near my working place as it is really convenient but I never did somehow. Today, I realized how tasteless can fruits be when they got chopped up or when they were selected to be chopped up no matter how colorful they are. Well, I made right choice about not ever buying packed fruit, I guess.

Packing
Tomorrow we are going to move our office upstair to 12th floor. It really felt like we were let go when everyone was packing... and we even had to leave the key of our desks before got off. How brilliant when people think it's okay to pack anything inside the box with no protection and let people from the moving company move it for you.
Interestingly, so many times we moved before (a dozen, may be?), and this was indeed the first time I used a brand new box for packing... and also the first time I don't have to do it myself... just need to wait...
There was really nothing to do after packing, so, I headed to the gym really early today but was told that the Tollywood class was full.......oops..

When a bird gets pregnant
The first egg was born in January. What they did was put it aside in the cage. After probably 20 eggs being abandoned, she is now sticking one of the eggs under her stomach. Will it be the lucky one?

Sleepless night
Probably the worst night ever...
>200 holes + a cup of milk tea
= fingers, arms, back, legs (basically the whole body) so sore, heart beat that I can hear , so hungry, so thirsty, so tired, so headache
And, the worst thing is, sleepy but can't sleep...
-_-zzzZZZ

Run... JJ Run..
After having lunch outside for 2 months, you probably can guess what happened. Even though I have been working out, it didn't help a lot. I still remembered my last scale lied, let me putting on some pounds without letting me know. But this time, I have a much accurate scale and it even measures the fat content. The fact, or the fat, however, is sometime hard to bear.
So, I started to bring my lunch box again and have worked out harder than ever. Just in this week,
Sun: Rowing 40min
Tue: Elliptical 60min
Wed: Rowing 60min
Fri: Treadmill 60min
Sat: Step 20min + Rowing 20min
Result: dying....

My first spongy cake
I bought a new oven last Wednesday. I made up my mind because I saw the girls on the bus playing " Cooking Mama". They were so concentrated to cut and cook the food on the screen. I used to think that it is a funny game but suddenly i felt that may be I should just get some real food and cook them. Then, I can have something to eat.
Today, I went shopping after work. My elder brother took a cheese mousse cake lesson and I really want to try the recipe. Many of the things in the recipe just can't be found in the area near my home. So, I stopped by a bigger shopping mall for the goodies. I bought some Fromage Blanc and Kirsh, which I never used before.
For all these, I just want to say how ready I was going to make my first cake back home. When my brother and I were beating the egg, we preheated the oven. Then, trouble came. We smell burning plastic and the lamp cover was broken. What kind of crap is that? The cake mixture was ready but we had no oven to use....
So, you can imagine...

Hahaji Reborn....
Hello everybody! My computer was infected and it took me sometime to fix it... (you know, I've never done this by myself before...)
Um... I had a new hair cut 3 weeks ago.. a good one, though someone may not agree with me. This is indeed the biggest curly hair I ever have...
I went to two wedding receptions during last week. One is my high school classmate and the other one is my colleague. I met my high school classmate during the first bus trip and she told me that she would marrying my another classmate. This was why I was invited... The second one, he gave his invitation to everyone in the company. (In Hong Kong, we consider sending wedding invitation as sending a pink bomb, as everyone received that needs to give certain amount ($500-600) of cash as gift. Interestingly, both couples ran into tears when they gave speech. Did you have the same experience too?

Oh My Stomach!
For a few weeks I felt something wrong with my health, just didn't know what exactly happened. Until one day, I was blamed for something during work, I realized that it's my stomach. Because everyone said stomach hurts when one is nervous. I went to a doctor and she told me that I may have some stomach problems. From now on, I'll take better care of my eating habit, as now I know how hurt it is. I tried to eat regularly and in really slow motion.
About eating, someone in my company got promoted and he bought us a meal. He first agreed to treat us buffet but then it turned out to be some cakes and drinks from McCafe (McDonald's Cafe). And two weeks later, our CEO asked about the meal and eventually he still needed to treat us some Dim Sums at a Chinese Restaurant. Good eat~

Wedding
It must be an exciting title......... Well... not mine... haha...
There were 4 couples that I know got married within the last two weeks. How "fortunate" these days should be. One was held in the States and the other three were here. While I saw those beautiful pictures taken during Tea Test's wedding and tried to imagine how wonderful that day was (Sure it was a wonderful day and it's also a day that I turned 27), I finally saw the secret baby in My Waters.
About the only one I have attended, this was the first invitation from my college classmates. It turned out to be a class reunion. I met a friend that I didn't see for 6 or 7 years. The reception started by a video, recording the groom's impression to the bride and the day how he proposed a year ago. I am kind of surprised that he can record that down as there were so many people in the setting while he proposed. It must be discussed widely as one needed to hold the camcorder. I wonder what would happen if the bride said something else rather than yes immediately. The funniest part of the video is, he actually claimed openly that the bride took the active role at the beginning of their relationship. Incredible... It ended at 1145pm and I was so tired that night. I took a train home and I almost got out from a wrong station... Stupid me... Jumped back into the next train and got home at almost 2am... zzzzzz......

My thesis
It is Mid Moon Festival today. So many weird things happened....
At the morning, I was asked to observe some chemical cleaning (acid/base/organic solvent/water) processes and give comments on process control. A young man was doing the cleaning by the first time. When I was trying to sit down in front of him, he dropped a 1000ml breaker on the desk between us and glass was spreading radically. It's just about my face level if I sat down ......Lucky me.
Today, I received my thesis from my wonderful labmate. Somehow I was not very interested in my own thesis. So, I opened it quite late and didn't really look at it. My brother was interested and I told him that this is my first book written. He tried to read it out and what he read was so odd so I took a look to my thesis. FYI: it's supposed to be Inscription and Characterization of Fiber Bragg Gratings in Multi-mode As2S3 Optical Fiber at 1550nm Using Interferometric method and Phase Mask Methods. How can this happen?
