Wonderful World - There Is Always A Better Tomorrow

Worked until 8 this evening,
since recently I enjoy the evening walk in the hill side very much,
after 6,
my brain and my mind miss the fresh air outside the office!

咖啡合桃奶油蛋糕coffee walnut cake並不是一隻口味高貴的蛋糕，剛相反，在它的來源地 ─ 英格蘭 ─ 它是一隻最街坊的teashop的常備蛋糕，因此就在一些人的集體回憶之中享有特別地位。不過，這隻蛋糕又易做又漂亮，最適合做生日蛋糕，於是我也忍不住按Nigel Slater的製法做了一隻。

蛋糕的材料是: 牛油175g，幼砂糖160g，鷄蛋3隻(打散)，自發麵粉175g與發粉(baking powder)1茶匙拌勻，即溶咖啡粉2茶匙(用1湯匙沸水溶解)，刴碎的合桃65g。

製法如下: 20cm圓餅模子2個，抹上一層牛油及以牛油紙墊底，焗爐調至180°C。先將牛油及糖用攪拌器攪打至輕軟成雪花膏狀，逐少加入鷄蛋攪打，並在攪拌入大半鷄蛋之後，先攪入一大湯匙自發麵粉，再攪入其餘。最後用膠刮輕手拌入餘下自發粉、合桃碎及咖啡，平均分置兩個餅模子，在爐內烤25分鐘即成，取出涼透。

等候蛋糕攤涼時，可着手做奶油。牛油200g攤軟，攪打至輕盈雪白，篩入340g糖霜(icing sugar)，攪打勻均鬆軟，再打入以1湯匙溶解2茶匙製成的咖啡，最後拌入約60g刴碎的合桃。

蛋糕涼透後，可動手「裝嵌」: 反轉其中一個蛋糕，以平滑的底部做面，糊上約三分一奶油，用刀糊平，覆上另一個蛋糕(面部向上)，以其餘奶油糊上蛋糕面及邊，最後將8件半邊合桃，平均分佈於蛋糕圓周邊，放在雪櫃裡讓奶油凝固即可。

This course was one of my best Berea College experience !!
I still have my journal ...... want to read it again to enjoy this special adventure.

The following information can remind me about my trip in my junior year:

Syllabus and Information
Course Description: This physically strenuous course will consist of a month's travel to the Southwestern states of Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Texas. We will travel in a Berea College van, prepare our own meals, and tent-camp each night in various state and national parks. Highlights of the trip will include:

中午與親友飲茶,
家人在食鹹水角時吃了一粒小螺絲釘,
原來才知一位長輩先前亦在此酒樓吃點心時有一小塊玻璃,
此酒樓的食物味道不錯,
服務也好,
地點方便,
很可惜,
先後給我們遇上及得知他們做食物的不嚴謹,
希望,
將來再不會有此事發生.
其實,
食肆最緊要的是食物安全及衛生!

The trip to ShanDong was pretty short,
five days to 5 cities,
and several tourist spots,
I am pretty sure it would take more than 10 days for me to travel by myself.

I have been travelling in China for certain places,
but most of them I travelled with my friends,
and to be honest,
I didn't like very much to travel in group with the travel agency.

This trip,
it changes a little bit of my impression,
as we got a very professional tourist guide,
she did excellent work,
and shared with us her life in Qingdong,
she knows many things,
from history, cultures, knowledge in travelling,
shopping, wellness,
she became friend of the whole group.

For the eating,
the set meals were so so,
I didn't have any deep impression of them,
though some of the meals were given in a good title,
farmers' meal, vegetarian meal, 阿膠宴, 靈芝宴,魯菜風味.. ..
and served in nice restaurants,
the dishes were more or less the same,
egg,
cucumber,
vegetable,
harden chicken,
very dry pork.....
I can conclude that I didn't have any exciting or special experience on eating for this trip.

The last dinner,
we extraordinarily special ordered our own seafood dish,
big prawn and abalone,
the chefs claimed that they were very fresh and big,
but I think they were more or less like the seafood we eat at home!

There is always trade-off in options,
if I want to have nice food during the trip,
it is better I plan for the trip,
and give-up to seeing less tourist places !!

Since yesterday afternoon,
I cannot access my blog for new posting,
seems that I was lost....
I tried many methods,
by changing passwords,
blowsing all the available information,
tried and error,
still,
can't make it.

This afternoon,
sitting in front of the computer,
still can't access it,
started to think,
whatever I have,
may not belong to me............

My first time to get vacation leave for this year -
going to have five days starting Monday,
with the two weekends,
going to have 9 days off.

To reward myself,
I want to make a trip,
but lazy to plan,
thus join the travel agency to go to eastern part of China.

Haven't started to pack,
as all I know,
I only need money and Chinese home-coming ID...
and my body and my mind -
wish to have a relax and good vacation.

Before I leave on early Sunday morning,
tomorrow I will attend my colleague's wedding banquet,
as they get marry on tomorrow,
what a beautiful May bride,
wish them all the best!!

May is a special month to me,
still remember the unforgettable May of my last year in Berea.
I was pretty busy on preparation of my final exams,
writing thank you notes/cards to all my professors,
and saying bood-bye to all my friends in the campus -
as I knew it would be very difficult to see them again in such a wonderful place again,
( that was really ture!!!)

Connie and John married before they left Berea,

I was honoured to be part of their memories.
Working with them in Boone Tavern
eating together in food service,
hanging around with them when they started to dating,
and also the guest on their wedding day,
as they married in mid-May.

Like the other graduation students,
I needed to prepare the packing of all my belongings -
books, clothing, all the items that I owned in Berea.

I needed to make my plan for the coming days -

I had already applied two graduation schools as well as scholarship,
however,
I didn't get any response from my first choice,
for the second choice,
I got accepted,
but still I was not quite sure I really wanted to go for an MBA.

As result,
I decided to wait for a year,
to get in my favorite major - Economics Study.
Therefore, I stored some of my luggage in the college 's storage room.....
since I was planning to return States no more than one year's time.

Still remember the sunny day for our graduation date,
admired very much that all my friends had family members and relatives to attend their graduation ceremony,
the ceremony was quite long though.
I still didn't get the chance to watch the video I got from the College.

My ex-roommate J sent me a nice present for my graduation -
she knew I needed money -
I decided to fly back to Macau and work for the summer,
and for the graduation reward for myself,
I flied to S. Francisco to visit a Hong Kong friend,
and spent a week over there.

The week in S. Francisco was pretty good,
the weather was a little bit chilly,
especially at night time and morning,
she took me to see around,
I learned something quite different with Berea,
also I knew how a Chinese girl struggled in a foreign place!

N.S. - It happened that I got the acceptance letter from my first choice graduation school, when I was back in Macau, I was so excited when I opened the letter and got the news, still, I postponed the return, and it happened that I didn't go back for my graduation study over there.

I need to pay a visit to Berea one day - my home-coming!!!

Richard Marx

Whenever I'm weary from the battles that rage
in my head
You make sense of madness when my sanity
hangs by a thread
I lose my way but still you seam to understand
Now and forever
I will be your man

Sometimes I just hold you
Too caught up in me to see

I'm holding a fortune that heaven has given
to me
I'll try to show you each and every way I can
Now and forever
I will be you man

Now I can rest my worries and always be sure
That I won't be alone anymore
If I'd only known you were there all the @me
All this time

Until the day the ocean doesn't touch the
sand
Now and forever
I will be your man
Now and forever
I will be your man

Richard Marx

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain

If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I though would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' CrAzY

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance

Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' cRaZy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

My friend told me that once inside the bus,
she was very embarrassed that a little boy offered the seat to her.
she herself committed that,
it was her grey hair -
the little boy thought that she was old enough to be offered the seat!

What a good boy!

Ooh...

Everybody's got something they had to leave behind
One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time
There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering)
How it could be now or neither been (or neither been)
All this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

Chorus
I never had a dream come true
Till that day that I found you
Even though I pretend that I've moved on
You'll always be my baby
I never found the words to say
You're the one I think about each day
And I know no matter where love takes me to
A part of me will always be with you

Somewhere in my memory I lost all sense of time
Amd tomorrow can never be
'Cause yesterday is all that fills my mind
There's no use looking back or wondering
How it should be now or neither been (or neither been)
Oh this I know but still I can't find ways to let you go

Chorus

You'll always be the dream that fills my head
(Yes you will, say you will, you know you will, baby)
You'll always be the one I know (I'll never forget)
There's no use looking back or wondering (or wondering)
Because love is a strange and funny thing
No matter how I try and try
I just can't say goodbye
No no no no

Chorus

A part of me will always be with you...

“纖雲弄巧，飛星傳恨，銀漢迢迢暗度。

金風玉露一相逢，便勝卻、人間無數。

柔情似水，佳期如夢，忍顧鵲橋歸路？

兩情若是久長時，又豈在、朝朝暮暮！”

Enjoy the evening walk in Monte,
breath-in fresh air,
watch the beautiful sky,
listen the nice bird songs,
plus....
overhear the stories of the people over there.

*** Dog-lovers

I hear the conversation from a group of dog-owners,
a girl with her female dog met a boy with his male dog in Monte,
they fell in love as they met every evening taking the dogs for exercise,
their dogs fell in love too,
after the teenagers getting married,
their dogs also got married,
and the dogs gave birth 6 dogs.
At the beginning,
they wanted to send the dogs to the other people,
however,
they both love the dogs very much,
as a result,
they keep the dogs themselves,
and train the dogs to be volunteers to visit the elderly home,
what a love story.

***Wet market

Two mothers talk about shopping food in the wet-market,
they say that their daughters do not know how to buy food in the wet-market,
but only super-market,
after one generation,
the wet-market may disappear,
seems that quite true!

【明報專訊】賺取利潤無疑是企業最大目的，但隨著社會發展，對企業的要求愈來愈嚴格，社會期望企業行有餘力的話，要照顧社會整體、自然環境、僱員等的利益，令社會一同進步。

到底企業社會責任是怎樣一回事？

以下措施是企業盡社會責任的表現:

□ 監察和確保員工的健康及安全，並提供舒適的工作環境

□ 在辦公室中使用循環再用的紙張、減少消耗能源和文具

□ 遵守法律和條例、尊重知識產權和不向其他人披露機密資訊

□ 帶領員工參與公益活動，回饋社會

□ 支持公平貿易

□ 舉辦比賽及講座、出版免費文化雜誌

□ 設立獎學金計劃，為市民提供更多接受教育和接觸文化藝術的機會”

社會各界對企業社會責任定義不一，一般指商業機構必須對其營商活動為社會、環境及經濟等方面所帶來的影響，負上責任。企業須以符合商業道德，尊重人、社區、自然環境的方法來達至商業目的，過程中須向所有相關利益者，即受企業活動影響的個人或群體，如僱員、消費者、社區，甚至整體社會問責。

且看看企業社會責任對企業本身及社會有何重要﹕

◆提高歸屬感達雙贏

企業重視改善工作環境及待遇，不單員工得益，也可提高員工歸屬感，甚至提升生產力，對企業本身也有好處。泗和棧石油工程有限公司設客戶服務熱線，接聽查詢或維修保養要求，再轉駁給門市或寫字樓員工。該公司聘請傷殘人士當接線生，而他們是在家工作的，該公司高峰期曾同時有4名傷殘員工。該公司行政經理李蔓瑩表示，這些傷殘員工同樣享有勞工保險、醫療保險和有薪年假。由於公司和接線生都是透過寬頻上網，所以接線生索性使用IP電話，該公司還可節省固網電話費用。

(星島日報報道)超級六合彩連續八期落空，周五開彩的六合彩如果一注中頭獎，獎金可達破紀錄的一億元！昨日不少「發橫財夢」的市民湧到投注站買六合彩，不少投注站擠得水泄不通，但頭獎七千五百萬元仍然落空；由於下期頭獎獎金高達一億元，為方便市民發「億萬富翁」的美夢，馬會將原定明晚攪珠的日期，順延至周五晚上九時三十分進行。

　　八期無人中獎金破紀錄

　　累積七千五百萬元獎金的超級六合彩昨晚攪珠，馬會表示昨日總投注額高達一億五千九百萬元，是有史以來第十高投注額。不過超級六合彩頭獎連續八期落空，二獎八注中，每注派逾一百零二萬元，三獎亦有逾二百二十四注中，每注派九萬七千多元。

　　由於頭獎無人中，下期累積獎金將達破紀錄的一億元。今次亦是自一九七六年以來，首次連續八期無人中頭獎。馬會為方便市民「發橫財夢」，將順延明晚攪珠至本周五晚上九時三十分進行。

　　昨排長龍遊客下注千元

　　累積七千五百萬的六合彩昨日攪珠，昨吸引大批市民蜂擁購買，各區投注站大排長龍，位於中環的投注站更一度排至門外，而謝斐道投注站更早於中午時分已出現人龍。有市民表示，即使不吃午飯都要來下注，「現時樓價太高，無能力買，要中六合彩先買得起。」更有遊客聽聞有大獎，一千元下注一試。

　　不過，六合彩頭獎機會渺茫。本身是數學老師的保良局朱敬文中學校長龍德義表示，中六合彩頭獎機會率只有一千四百萬分之一。如果要六合彩必中，「大包圍」買所有四十九個號碼，成本則要一億三千九百萬元。換言之，「投資者」中頭獎亦會蝕本。

　　下期獎金高達一億元，勢必吸引更大批「以小博大」的市民投注。

　　一億元可以做甚麼？相對於本港「豪宅」，一億元獎金「濕濕碎」，以本港最貴分層單位天匯一個五千六百多方呎單位計，成交價達三億六千萬元，頭獎獎金只買到三分之一個單位。不過，對於一個時薪只有廿八元「最低工資」的打工仔，每月工作二十四天、每天工作九小時，一億元相等於工作一千三百七十七年的薪金。

中學時學過的一首詩,那時不什領略意境,現在卻覺得這是一首很有意思的古詩.

轉載:

【明報專訊】三月七日沙湖道中遇雨，雨具先去，同行皆狼狽，余獨不覺。已而遂晴，故作此。

“莫聽穿林打葉聲，何妨吟嘯且徐行。

竹杖芒鞋輕勝馬，誰怕？

一蓑煙雨任平生。

料峭春風吹酒醒，微冷，山頭斜照卻相迎。

回首向來蕭瑟處，歸去，也無風雨也無晴。”
蘇軾是北宋中期的文壇領袖，與父親蘇洵、弟蘇轍皆有文名，人稱「三蘇」。蘇軾詞氣豪邁，是豪放詞派開創者，也是唐宋古文八大家之一，在詩、詞、散文上均有傑出成就，書法、繪畫、音樂方面造詣亦高，是中國藝術史上罕見通才。

蘇軾當過翰林學士、禮部尚書等顯赫官職，但仕途坎坷。他因「烏台詩案」被誣入獄，險遭殺害。後來屢遭貶官或流放，一度流放到荒遠的儋州（今海南島）。

烏台詩案發生於宋神宗元豐二年（1079年），是蘇軾政治生涯的重大轉折。「烏台」即御史台，負責檢察百官。當時蘇軾不滿王安石變法，撰詩文諷新法，御史台官員尋摘蘇軾詩句羅織罪名，指他誹謗朝政，將他逮捕入獄，欲置死。後經許多有名望人士出面力挽，蘇軾才獲釋，改謫黃州（今湖北省黃岡縣）團練副使（地方自衛隊副官）。

詞風豪邁灑脫面對起伏

《定風波》寫於宋神宗元豐五年（1082年），是蘇軾貶謫黃州後的第三年，剛經歷人生跌宕，他抱著怎樣的心境？《定風波》描述作者前往沙湖途上遇雨，遂借景寄意，指既然身處風雨中，與其狼狽閃躲，何不乾脆舒徐行步，豁達吟嘯？風雨歇了，夕陽相照，回顧走過的那片風雨蕭瑟的道路，人間興衰起伏、順逆得失，也不過是自然界陰晴圓缺的一部分，毋須牽掛，心之逍遙，超越晴雨。

蘇軾一生研佛，自號「東坡居士」（居士即在家修行的佛家弟子），亦對道家恬淡無為學說深感興趣。正是佛道思想令他在霜寒中能灑脫自若、隨遇而安，寫出一首首豪放曠逸作品，在傳統花間詞風外別立一宗。.

http://www.amazon.com/PS-Love-You-Cecelia-Ahern/dp/1401300901

CHECKED OUT THIS NOVEL FROM THE LIBRARY, AS A CUSTOM, I DON'T TAKE NOVEL AS IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME OF READING, HOPE I LIKE THIS.....

This review is from: PS, I Love You (Hardcover)
Cecilia Ahern makes a splash with "PS, I Love You," a surprisingly charming debut about grief, love, family and struggling to move on with life. While Ahern needs to polish up her writing, she has plenty of raw talent, and a good grasp on her quirky characters.

A friend of my brother cooked a special dinner for the family to celebrate the Mother's Day,
and I was lucky to have a share of it.
The food was so wonderful,
this friend is really a good cook,
she made the coconut milk soup with spicy chicken,
served with noodles,
and the stewed beef tongue with tomatoes, carrots and potatoes.

She said that we could not eat in the restaurant,
as they are traditional home-made recipes,
I enjoyed it very much,
yes, I know it is difficult to eat outside,
everything is perfect,
from the lime juice, all kinds of ingredients,
the tongue was so tender,
all of them were tasty,
except it was a little bit spicy!!!!

I know it takes a lot of time to prepare this great meal,
because,
I am lazy to cook!

This morning, heard the phone-in program over the radio,
a lady informed the host that the conduct of the estate agent needs to be regulated in Macau.
She has met an agent who is dishonest on selling an apartment to her,
when she visited the place,
by opening the door,
the man inside the house greeted the agent,
" Honey, why are you so early to come home today?"
It was her husband in the house!!

The lady was unhappy for the agent didn't tell her the truth that she is the owner of the flat,
and she wanted to sell it.
By doing so, the agent could sell her house plus earning commission.
What a deal !!

This afternoon,
my ex-colleague called and asked me if I wanted to watch the show in S. Paul's Ruins,
and I told her I knew the show,
I noticed that area had set-up some special sound and light equipment.

After dance class around 8:45PM,
I passed by S. Paul's Ruins,
and it was almost the time for the second show of the night,
"Encounters: St. Paul's Ruins Audiovisual Mapping"
by Telenoika.net,
since I think it would be nice to watch it, as
I didn't have any cost on it,
I was in that area,
and it was about the time,
so,
caught the occasion,
delayed my dinner.....
stayed there for a while to watch the show,
Bravo!
Wonderful !

I didn't realise that the mapping of the audio and visual effect over the S. Paul's Ruins is so beautiful,
what a beautiful night!
I will recommend my colleague not to miss it.

I was also thinking that all the old stuff could have a new look by using this kind of art effect!!!

【明報專訊】不少香港中學生每天有讀英文報紙學英文的習慣，但不少報章的修辭令學生閱讀有困難。《南華早報》首任華人副總編輯、現任浸大新聞系首席講師馮強，近日在網誌《巔峰日報》的「強化英語」中「開講」，教學生英文技巧。

馮強以（馮院長）的英文「Dean Fung」諧音「巔峰」為名，將網誌取名《巔峰日報》，笑言網站由「巔峰英語勁進學院院長馮強主理，他希望香港人的英語水平可以勁進步，達至巔峰」。

《南華早報》首任華人副總編

目前網誌已上載了5篇文章，包括教導學生如何寫英語自我簡介，甚至介紹如何將青年常用「潮語」以英語表達。他舉例，若有人說「『屈我機』才贏了比賽」，英文可寫作「He wins by adopting unfair practices」或是「He wins by using loop-holes in the system」。

馮強曾於劍橋大學留學，曾任職《華爾街日報》及加拿大《金融郵報》記者、《南華早報》副總編輯、《讀者文摘》總編輯等。

Um grupo de jovens organizou a primeira ‘flash mob’ contra a CTM e prepara outra concentração espontânea para amanhã. Deitados de cara contra ao chão, queixam-se do preço e da velocidade da Internet. Os pro-democratas também.

Da rede para fora da rede. Um grupo de cibernautas de Macau, que formaram uma plataforma no Facebook contra a qualidade do serviço de Internet oferecido pela Companhia de Telecomunicações de Macau (CTM), saiu do mural de queixas para as ruas da cidade. O movimento organizou uma ‘flash mob’ para protestar contra “os preços altos inaceitáveis” e a “velocidade lenta” com que o www chega aos computadores do território.

Open my mail box,
realise that I got an e-mail from a familar sender,
this was the person whom I missed days and nights several years ago,
I am very surprised and
wondering how he is doing
think what 's the content of the mail,
it needs courage for me to open the mail...
I think too much?

Yesterday is past tense,
I am living in present tense,
and I want my future tense.

Many years ago,
liked to buy Hong Kong newspaper every day,
as besides reading the news stories,
there are many good writers'artilces.

"appledoctors" is one of my favorate writers.
by reading his articles,
I feel like listen stories from a friend,
I can learn his postive life
and the wisdom of his Uncle (三叔) too.

Didn't buy the Hong Kong newspaper for long time,
didn't read his articles either,
last time,
in the library,
realised that he has published several books,
he is really a hard-working people.

Check his work over internet:

快樂是會傳染的,多謝!

以前喜歡Pizza
後來知道吃的只是美式的Pizza,
意式的Pizza
比美式的更好吃,
之後開始更喜歡其他意大利的食物,
意粉,海鮮飯,Pizza,...
如果有意大利籍的朋友
可以指點指點,
可以認識更多.

經典意大利餐廳
是較喜歡的一個享受晚餐的地方
環境真的不錯
食物有水準.
菲律賓人的侍者,
服務尚可,
餐廳內不同國籍的顧客
在食的文化以外好像走入大溶爐的感覺.

昨天晚上
意大利飽好味，
但仍使我記起新鮮出爐的菲律賓面包.
選了菠菜飯,
牛扒配蘑菇,
白菌魚扒.
食菠菜飯的時候又令我想起上海菜飯,
其實食物文化真是很有趣.

一班穿著華麗的印度籍美女,
在生日的聚會上,
把接近關門時幽靜環境的餐廳,
推向更熱鬧的氣氛.
優雅的意大利籍女店主,
走過來致歉.
其實,
慶祝生日,
和一大班朋友一起
當然是要熱鬧開心!

監製：杜自持@Bebop Music

天色很光天窗何事總關起

風聲很多心聲全部關於你

我也試過痛了倦了都不想放棄

真的緊緊相擁仍像假歡喜

假的瀟灑分開誰又真演戲

我有勇氣吻你就會很快樂為何逃避

曾有過一秒抱著於一起

忘記要怎樣抽離

曾經很開心一分一刻我會儲起

曾有過感覺我未想講起

而秘密會屬於你

情感這東西始終必須運氣

真的很多感觸如像小把戲

假的很多消息然後怎收尾

愛要有勇氣老實說偏顧忌仍然逃避

曾有過一秒抱著於一起

忘記要怎樣抽離

曾經很開心一分一刻我會儲起

如你我可以最後於一起

你會知道我日夜想你

從不想多講只因不想累你

曾有過一秒抱著於一起

忘記要怎樣抽離

曾經很開心一分一刻我會儲起

如你我可以最後於一起

你會知道我日夜想你

從不想多講都只想保護你

能有這福氣有幸識到你

才決定努力爭氣

從不講出口這麼這麼為你

Met my college-mate in face book,
realised that she is now working for United Nations,

she set her mind that she targeted to work for UN in her home country,
glad to know that she made her dream true.
So great - S.C. !

http://health.yahoo.net/experts/drmao/5-ways-boost-brain-power

By Dr. Maoshing Ni
1. Eat Brain Foods
A balanced diet rich in essential amino acids, omega oils, minerals, and vitamins will ensure a vibrant and sharp memory. Eat right to keep your memory bright:
• Choose complex carbs, such as brown rice, oatmeal, lentils, whole beans, and other whole grain foods, which will bring your brain lasting energy and help fuel your cognitive abilities.
• Eat a rainbow of veggies. Chock full of protective antioxidants, vegetables of every hue can help you boost brain power, especially bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, yams, and squash.
• Get a mega boost with omega’s. There is more and more evidence indicating that omega-3 fatty acids are especially beneficial for brain health. A particularly rich source is fish, especially salmon, tuna, halibut, trout, mackerel, and sardines. Almond oil, fish oil, flaxseed oil, olive oil, and sesame oil are rich in monounsaturated fats and are good choices for brain health. Population studies show that a diet high in unsaturated, unhydrogenated fats tends to correspond to reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease, whereas a diet higher in saturated fats and trans fats exhibits an increased risk.
• Micro-algae brings big brain benefits. Blue-green algae, spirulina, and chlorella are easy to digest, high-protein, and high-energy food supplements that support healthy brain functions. Look for powders you dissolve in juice or flakes you can sprinkle on your food.
• Mix it up with nuts, seeds, and fruit. The essential fatty acids, rich carotenoids, and antioxidants in a trail mix of nuts and fruit will nourish and support your brain: choose walnuts, pine nuts, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, dried goji berries, dried apricots, and dried blueberries.
• Bonus Tip: Super Clarity is a specially blended formula that contains brain-nourishing herbs.

(星島)夏季的營養消耗較大，天氣炎熱影響食欲，所以飲食應以清淡、輕怡為主，避免進食太多肉類及煎炸油膩食物。

　　營養小Tips：

　　夏天要留意補充一些容易流失的營養素如水溶性維生命B和C，多吃番茄、青椒、冬瓜、西瓜、楊梅、桃、梨等新鮮蔬果；補充水和無機鹽，多食含豐富鉀質的食物，如薯仔、豆類製品、菇類、水果、蔬菜等。多吃些水分豐富的蔬果及適量地補充優質蛋白質，如魚、瘦肉、海鮮、蛋、奶和豆類等。烹調方面則應以蒸、焗及烚為主。若沒胃口吃飯，可以試試自製三文治、沙律、湯粉麵、冷麵等較易消化的食物，有助消暑。

Last night,
the "Meet Joe Back" was in TV,
tried to watch it again,
but didn't make it.

Watched this movie long time ago,
and I like it very much,
this is a good movie!

Yam Cha with father in Tou Tou Kou,
it is easy to get the table today,
as I don't need to wait long,
I always find that earlier morning on Saturday is easier to get table than Sunday.

Always enjoy very much the food over there.

And today is very special,
as two friends call for Yam Cha to have "blowing water",
we havn''t met for long time,
and we meet at 1:30 in Restaurant Fu Hou.

Thus, I have two Yam Cha today,
I am surprised that it is very easy to get table in Fu Hou,
the food is also all right.
I am the first one to arrive there.

Accidentally,
two of them are very busy,
one needs to work in the morning,
while the other one needs to go to class,
we also try to call for other friend,
but she is not available.

There are so much food,
for three of us,
especially I have my lunch already,
steamed ribs,
rice roll,
steamed mushrooms,
deep-fried fish (九吐),
steamed fish-ball,
baked Portuguese chicken rice....
good food.

We have great talk,
from office to daily life,
we are the last table eating in the big hall,
except two tables of people playing mahjong's.

When we pay our bill,
it is almost 4 o.clock,
great Yam Cha for the day!

2011.5.13

Met K on my way home in the evening,
exchanged the update news of each other,
she told me that C is going to get marry in September,
it is so nice to hear the news that he found the love one.
K reminds me to reserve the time to attend their wedding party,
to share the happiness of their marriage,
definitely,
I will mark my calender for that !!

After work,
go to the little garden at the back of Macau Musem.
The sky is still bright,
though with white clouds over the light blue sky.
It is lucky that it doesn't rain,
with occasionally wind,
the walk is very relax and enjoyable.

On my way back,
it is almost 7:20PM,
far away I see an ex-colleague,
seems he just finished his work from the office,
he walks heavily,
what a long day,
but not for me!!
I would like to target to finish my work by 6PM,
and leave the office,
come closer to the nature -
green trees,
colorful flowers,
brighter sky,
bird songs....
what a wonderful world!!!

Black Friday,
nothing special,

and I couldn't access my blogger account to write my blog.....

Recebi uma notícia hoje,
que no espaço de um mês,
faleceram os pais do meu antigo Chefe -
Cést la vie!!

Dear A,

Thanks so much for writing me and keep me informed of Berea, I always miss Berea and all the nicest friends that I met and the friendship that we made.

Yes, I miss the chapel too, the place where I always hanged around, especially on every Tuesday. It is so beautiful.

Did you have a white christmas? I miss the snow very much too.

I felt very sorry for J's passing, for she had invited me for few times to
visit her, but I didn't get the chance.

It was very sad to miss an old friend who died young. She was such a wonderful person and she helped me a lot.

I miss her a lot, especially during every christams for I spent two white Christams with her family and the time was so traditional and enjoyable,she really made me feel like a member of an american family.

My work is as usual, everyday is busy with the routine work. I hope everything of you goes well, and wish you stay happy and healthy every day.

Write soon.

With lots of love,

When I was in College,
I read the novel Halmet,
I should have heard the story of it before,
famous story!
I also watched the movie twice - with different actors,
as a result,
I remember well the famous quote "to be or not to be",
want to re-read this novel again:

友人給我的介紹:

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/GrQ6DMLt_70/

轉載:【明報專訊】

各位朋友﹕

我想今天這封「信」，就是我和大家結緣，是一種緣分，不單是「信是有緣」。明天（農曆四月初八）是釋迦牟尼佛降生日，是一個快樂吉祥日，因此我也想給大家一封「使人快樂的信」。最近，很多年輕朋友問我，如何才可有快樂的生活？其實快樂的生活要具備三心——平常心、安心、轉化心。

Today is the Buddha's birthday, and an official public holiday.

For many years, my father told me that today is also the birthday of the Tam Kong of Coloane, and every year on this date, the "Son I" association of Coloane, which he has joined long time ago, organise the parade, the celebration, Cantonese opera and the special dinner.

As a result, it has become my father's tradition to go to Coloane on that date, to pay a visit of the Tam Kong Temple, to see the parade, and to pay the annual association fee every year. Not to mention, to see his old good friend, Uncle Fai.

It was pretty lucky that today we didn't wait long for the bus, however, the trip from Macau to Coloane is so long - it is really a city ride - as it passes many places, the bridge, Taipa downtown, ferry terminal, airport, hotels, ..... By the time we arrived, near the entrance, we saw Uncle Fai easily, he is very healthy, and he told us that he has eye-operation recently, and now, he has pretty good eye-sight. My father thanked him for his wedding cake of his granddaughter few months ago, as the two old man didn't see for long.....

Today, when I was on the bus, I heard and saw something:

Scenery 1:

The bus was full, and many people were standing inside the bus, by the time the bus arrived Ma Kok station, several people were waiting for the bus, 2 people got in, at the same time, most of the people inside the bus were watching two foreigners in the station, as they were very fat, people were worrying if they wanted to get in the bus, as the size of them could be equal to 5 people - fortunately, they didn't move to get in the bus - what a relief!

Scenery 2:

Several old people were standing inside the cabin, however, no young people offered their seats, an old lady told a little girl to give the seat to her, and the girl quietly gave her seat to this old lady. Actually the girl did not sit near by her family members.

Later on, I realised this girl kept on talking with her mom with sign language, I was thinking she could not speak. The old lady also found out this little girl 's sign language, and asked if she could speak.

This little girl explained that she could speak, she used sign language as her mother is deaf.

Scenery 3:

When the bus passed by the Taipa busy area, two flight attendants got in, both of them wore jackets to cover their uniforms, but I could easily recognised the airline - it was very crowded inside the bus, and the air-con was not enough. Both of them stood in front of me, I could see they wore a lot of make-up, and I could image that they were so hot with the jackets - what a work day for them!

Scenery 4:

As there was the parade in Coloane, many passengers were non-residents of Coloane to watch the celebration, but an old lady, she lives there and she has just finished the shopping and back to Coloane. I heard she chatted with one lady about life in Coloane - nice place to live, but not convenience for shopping, the market just sells vegetables and fruits, there are no pork, beef nor chicken, the people in Coloane need to go to Macau to do the grocery shopping, for her case, once a week - well, it seems that there is a trade-off , I never thought about this before, I always think living in Colone is very nice, but I never think about shopping !

I always like to take bus when I am free, as I can listen stories of other people and sometimes I can learn something!

Lunch with my father in the Cafe,
there were so many people waiting...
so did we.

By the time I was waiting,
I ate the barbacue pork bun,
as my starter,
then,
came to our order,
I had the fish pie,
and the lemon tea.

Originally wanted to have sandwiches,
but with the bun,
I would like to have something different,
thus, chose some baked food.
Anyway, the fish pie was pretty good!

If you had a choice then
what would you choose, to do.
I can live without money,
I can live without the fame and
if every day was sunny I can live
without the rain and if I ever went
up to heaven I will fall right back
down that life wouldnt be living,
cause your the one I couldn't live without.

If I couldn't blink will I still
be able to see you.
I couldn't imagine (ooohoo)
without arms could I reach,
no way could I ever hold you (ohohooo)
I need these things, like I need you,
if you had a choice what would you choose.

I can live without money, I can live without
the fame and if every day was sunny
I can live without the rain and if I ever
went up to heaven I will fall right back
down that life wouldnt be living,
cause your the one I couldn't live without.

If I couldn't dream would I believe
that there can be a you and me and
if I couldn't sing would you be able
to hear my melody, I know that somethings
wrong and im afraid that your moving on,
how can I fly when your my wings.
I need these things, like I need you,
if you had a choice what would you choose.

I can live without money, I can live
without the fame and if every day was sunny
I can live without the rain and
if I ever went up to heaven
I will fall right back down
that life wouldnt be living,
cause your the one I couldn't live without.

You can take it all from me,
and it wouldn't mean anything,
turn the whole world against me
as long as you don't leave.
Its getting hard for me to sleep,
even harder for me to breath.
Im used to life with you,
tell me what I need to do.

I can live without money, I can live
without the fame and if every day
was sunny I can live without the rain and
if I ever went up to heaven
I will fall right back down
that life wouldnt be living,
cause your the one I couldn't live without.

I can live without money, I can live
without the fame and if every day
was sunny I can live without the rain and
if I ever went up to heaven
I will fall right back down
that life wouldnt be living,
cause your the one I couldn't live without.

Today,
when I was having my lunch at home,
I listened the news about the MTR accident in Tin Sheung Vai,
suddenly,
I was attracted by the news reporter - 利君雅 in the TV screen,
since it was the Chinese channel,
I thought someone has changed to English channel,
but she spoke very fluent Cantonese,
She has pretty face,
and looks like she is South Asian.
Check over Internet,
she is the President of the Society for Cultural Integration in Hong Kong.

I think it is good to have diversity of races in a place,
all of them live harmony and happily together.

Afternoon, when I was taking a walk outside,
I also started to know that there are plenty of Philippines and South Asians in Macau.
They are no longer staying alone in a foreign place,
most of them are with family members and lots of friends here.
however,
I know some of them can not master Cantonese,
but I do hope that more and more people like 利君雅 who can integrate into our society,
so the world will be more beautiful!

住在旅遊城市,
在繁忙熱鬧的市中心,
往往是被諮詢的對象,
前天同事告知午餐時份幾位日本美少女
就正好向他問路
他也熱情盡澳門人之義,
向她們詳細解釋.

昨天,
在16埔附近,
又有一對男女,
似乎是忘記方向,
問我那裡是"濠江酒店",
我即時很謎感,
從沒聽過此酒店名,
女的即時給我看卡片,
酒店(?) 位於道德巷,
道德巷也從沒接觸及聽過.
酒店位於不見經傳的巷內,
大極有限,
我真是大鄉里,
再看卡內的其他資料,
原來是在岐關車站附近!

身為澳門人
似乎要好好學習

Thus I needed to have a new doctor.

Asked for a professional one among 3 choices when I made the registration.

The one I got supposed to be very experienced one, however, I was quite of disappointed.

What a medical doctor, and I could not really comment his professionalism.

He could not give the accurate information I wanted to get,

nor I could get any patience from him being a doctor.

Asking for the degree of my eye-sight,

he said that the reading was not accurate,

denied to give me the figures -

and I said I wanted to change new glasses,

then, he said I needed to pay additional 100 patacas for the check-up.

( I know I could do this in the shop, but originally wanted to get professional advice).

At last, I asked for recommendation of vitamins for the eyes,

and he said no needed.

Finally, I decided to finish the consultation as soon as possible,

as it was waste of my time,

he even didn't tell me the result of the examination.

May be he was not happy that he needed to work on Saturday morning.

Anyway,I know I need to have another doctor next time!!!

慕名很久,
雖然在家的附近,
澳門下環街77號A地下
但其星期日休息,
多次中午去都很多人,
今次嘗試3時去,
誰知中午後小休,
要3時半才再開,
為了食美食,
決心遲些再去.

4時半已見店內坐滿人,
要在門口等位,
不過也算很快,
試了豬雜粿條,
有粉腸,腩肉,豬腰加粿條
粿條很滑
湯很鮮
很美味,
非常不錯!

　　墨子是中國的秦帝國統一之前的顯學思想家。但至清朝末的鴉片戰爭發生以前的二千年間，這個思想家卻被眾人所遺忘。直到第二次世界大戰後的百年之內突然被大家重新憶起。一個歷經兩千年的沈睡，甦醒後卻能成為中國近代革命的思想基礎。

　　墨子思想：原始、兼愛、尚同、非攻應實現的理想狀態：人害人、實現和平的手段、和平為實現和平的組織：尚賢、尚同體制、節用、節葬、非樂、非命、擔任組織的人材、組織的經濟基礎支持組織的根據：天志、明鬼

下午聽了一個講座,
可能是講者的技巧問題,
亦可能是她的內容組織
以及她的表達方式,
又或者是我的期望過高,
覺得可以是很吸引的題目,
好像是浪費了一些寶貴的時間.
得著是有的,
不過與成本不成比例.
無論如何,
或者吸引了我自己做一些研究.

2011.4.3 (missed this program on that date.... seems very interesting.)

李純恩帶大家走入東方商埠，窺探寧波的魅力，品嚐遠近馳名的寧波湯圓及其他道地小食。他又前往寧波著名度假旅遊區 - 東錢湖，細味各式生猛湖鮮，領略靠水食水的真諦；更會深入中國商人鼻祖陶朱公的隱居地，發掘地方文化特色。

李純恩遊寧波，從「食」方面認識寧波，先品嚐最具代表性的寧波湯圓，再相約在寧波定居及工作的好友方佳妮，逛逛鼓樓步行街，細嚐鮮鹹合一的寧式麵、口感軟糯的螃蟹炒年糕。之後又到城隍廟的小食廣場，大吃多款道地小吃，還會細味老寧波菜，包括寧波菜的代表作之一「雪菜筍絲燒黃魚湯」，以及「寧波三臭」（冬瓜、莧菜梗、豆腐）。吃飽後再到寧波市內最大的城市商業中心「天一廣場」逛夜街，遊覽於1702年由法國傳教士建成的藥行街天主教堂。

之後李純恩再向東錢湖進發，透過寧波東錢湖旅遊度假區委員會書記朱至珍認識寧波的地理形勢、風土人情，又會聯同彭熊逛逛街市，看看道地湖鮮，並請來大廚在東錢湖的草坪炮製「貝鮮三拼」和「醬炒螺獅」。李純恩又會走入中國商人鼻祖陶朱公的隱居地「陶公村」，發掘地方文化特色，認識當地的殯儀儀式、打紗線手工，以及神功戲能做到繞樑效果的巧妙。最後當然少不了品嚐一頓東錢湖湖鮮宴，嚐味錢湖之吻、一山觀湖海、浪裡白條、群英薈萃等佳餚。

Tonight, I can report to the American people and to the

world that the United States has conducted an operation that

killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist

who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men,

women and children.

It was nearly 10 years ago that a bright September day was

darkened by the worst attack on the American people in our

history. The images of 9/11 are seared into our national

memory. Hijacked planes cutting through a cloudless September

sky.

Per my father's request, went to Zhuhai today to visit his hometown.

Passed the boarder without spending much time, however, when we reached the other side, I saw lots of people in crowds, they were flooding to go to Macau (probably to the casinos).

Started to worry the return in the afternoon, however, it was still early, I should keep it until late afternoon, was thinking to use the other boarder to come back.

On the bus stop, overheard the talk and explained why the way from Macau to Zhuhai was so smooth, as the "水客" were on holiday for today.

That makes sense! They form a big population of the in-and out regular traffic every day.

While we were waiting for the bus No. 10, I started to learned such a terrible arrangement of the bus stop.

There are more than 8-10 different routes using the same bus-stop, where it is very long and large, however, all the people were packing there with no separation of the routes and queues, thus, whenever one bus comes, the people go for that bus will immediately chase for that bus and rush to the door to get in, it is really chaos!

No matter what, line up is useless, they 'may not know what is politeness nor what does it mean " respect to the seniors".

I can see the teenagers and the younger ones were the ones to get in the bus first and find the seats.

As a result, for the elders, I can tell - the only choice - the last one to get in the bus and to stand all the way!!

There are still many things China need to do for the next generation education and the public management!

In addition, the traffic was very busy all the time, may be many people are very rich, there were many private cars on the road.

Well, today is Sunday and the special public holiday, everyone goes out....... as a result, the way back was even worse, we waited for an hour, I saw many buses full of passengers, I have already lowered my requirement, all I needed was to get in any one of it provided we could go to the city area, however, we could not get in.

Chatted with an old lady, as I saw her waiting for a long time as same as we did, she told me she had been waiting in the bus-stop for over 2.5 hours and could not get in.

From her wordings, I can feel that the seniors are really not well-treated, why they could not be respected and treated nicely in using the public transportation.

I was thinking the Chinese saying - "Honour the aged of other family as we honour our own; Care for the children of other family as we care for our own"

I told her that since it is too far away to my destination, all I wanted was to get in the bus, go to the city area, so that I could get a taxi to Gongbei.

She taught me to change the bus in another place where it is less crowded, as I have observed that there was chance to get in for the other routes, other than the No. 10.

At the same time, the other ladies heard that I needed to change bus to Gongbei, and questioned while I didn't take No. 10 directly, why wasted money and time ?

I explained my strategy, and followed this, I did - I could get in a less crowded bus No. 32 back to Gongbei !

Really could not enjoy the ride today, it was totally another story like the previous' visit - sunny sky, green tress, blue sea, colourful flowers and plants, ....... With the cloudy sky, one positive thing was that the weather was not hot.

My conclusion for May 1 - it is not a good day for going out with public transportation in China.
