第一次玩Sewing Machine, 真过瘾! 厨房的抹布, 烧菜的围裙, 沙发上的套子统统被我弯弯扭扭地缝了一圈. 还有一条平时常常穿的裙子, 以后没有开衩的部分了.

今天, 蚂蚁兵团有一只蚂蚁潜逃! 我挥着小旗欢呼! :D

Organic: 中文叫”有机“
Free from chemical injections or additives, such as antibiotics or hormones:
e.g. organic chicken， 有机鸡。
与小时候生物课上讲的有机物，无机物不同。 有机物是与碳化物有关的物质(carbon compounds).
所以, "有机鸡"的反义词不是"无机鸡", 要记住了!

上海F1方程式赛车, 几个朋友都很"牛"得买了4000元的票去看. 车开到嘉定区的赛场要很久, 再从entry走到看台要一小时, 车呼啸而过, 也看不到什麽, 只有唰唰的噪音. 上海是很物质的城市, 蹩脚地富贵着，以前的Y也是, 总问你喜欢香奈儿还是范哲思, Armani 还是miumiu. 我说澳洲人穿衣很随便. 还借用Josh的话, "任何名牌衣服, 穿了后在洗衣机里滚一圈就只值5 dollars了" ... 为了我这句话, 他坚持将他那些衣服送去干洗店, 包括T-shirt. 唉` 这次来悉尼也是, 问我哪里有Versace店, 頭痛呀. 我说, 小心你的箱子撑爆! 他却回我一句, LV的质量很好..... 也许这就是人与人的不同, 我们在为要不要放弃高薪做MTS, 要不要用尽我们的权柄, 要不要去平穷的地方传教而举足不定; 而有些人却在想今晚是吃法国大餐还是日本料理, 明天穿的衣服是和红色的法拉利配还是那辆黑色的宝马配....唉..

God's law is not possible for us to fulfill on our own merits.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and discipline.

这几天, 楼下宠物医院里的狗叫得我心烦， 虽然在google里又search了一遍"how to stop dog barking", 还是没找到一个好的解决办法. 上次与格雷斯一起去里面逛了一圈, 发觉这医院其实挺大的. 我们的窗还不是正对着猫狗最多的地方, 不然会更吵. 窗外看出去是一棵很高的柳树, 春天到了, 每天都会长很多叶子, 树多会不会有隔音作用?
昨 晚做梦, 梦到有人送我3只小猫, 刚刚断奶走路摇摇晃晃的那种, 好开心呀. 它们好小, 有一只躲进我的球鞋里, 找了半天. (球鞋的部分也许是受bbq时的游戏影响吧). 可是奇怪我的家好像是在学校, 它们和我一起在像lecture room一样的房子的住. hummm...给它们都起了名字, 现在记不起了.

看完了《夏日香气》， 慧媛活了下来。
她说她不愿再见敏宇，
她怕她那颗被换过的心，不会再有往日的悸动，
她害怕她珍藏的爱只是谎言...回忆成了虚空..

俐总说, 有缘的人最终是会再一起的...看来导演满足了她的愿望.
慧媛心跳再一次茫茫人群中， 认出是他 。
缘(predestined relationship), 这个书上用来编故事的字,
是牵连, 是机遇, 是来由, 是归宿?
还是一般人不可能拥有的奢侈?

Ye became a christian, this is the happiest thing I have heard today!!
And another friend Ray will get married this year!!!! And he will move to singapore!!!

Well, had a long jog with Sandra on the coogee beach tonight. We started to talk about our recent conversation with our J.W. friends. Please don't give up or feel uncomfortable, sis! God is training us to speak wise and more effectively through these experience, it won't be easy to convince someone with a strong hatred of Christianity.In the end it is not because they are our friend but God chooses us to do so, to feed his sheep. Sometime it's like an assignment, it is an assignment marked with a due date. Do not be hurry to finish it to get a pass mark, but to push yourself to do it well instead and present it in front of God.
(The completion of the task is NOT the prerequisite of entering heaven, but isn't good that you did something worthwhile on earth?)

今天在咖啡店吸果汁， 一个爸爸抱着小女儿推门进来， 坐在我视线的正前方。 点了一杯橙汁，一杯babycino. "babycino", 原来一直认为是给小孩喝的super small size的咖啡, 端上的却是白花花的一杯牛奶. (这样是培养不出一代咖啡英才的).. 小女孩看上去病得很重, 眼睛忧伤地低垂着, 她爸爸小心翼翼喂她喝果汁, 用tissue帮她擦脸. 很美的一幅景象, 很想拍下, 可是会打扰他们的平静... 再抬头看时他们已经走了, 咖啡只吃了一层froth, 满满的一杯留在那里...

爸爸的墓地上我放了一個陶製的小天使, 和他以前送我的那個一樣. 可每次去時, 總發現它被拿到旁邊的那個人的墓碑前. 那個人也很年輕, 有兩個很小的小孩.... 上次去時, 發現他的前面多了一個小天使, 因為兩個小天使都退色得厲害, 只剩下白白的本色...一左一右地對著, 一時間我也分不出拿一個是我的. 後來想了一下, 應該是那個在吹喇叭的, 就把它放了回來, 放在兩塊碑中間, 所以小天使的喇叭還是可以對著他吹.
用紙巾擦掉那些從樹上掉下的枯葉...和那些螞蟻打打招呼... 不會去趕他們, 因為它們每天在土里爬來爬去, 離爸爸最近... 是他們陪爸爸聊天, 真想能懂它們的語言...

爸 爸的墓地右邊還是空著的, 但不知有沒有被賣掉. 那時我選了第9個紅玫瑰園第21號位. 這樣我就可以記住爸爸最愛的花和他的生日了... 一直想有錢可以買下這旁邊的位子, 還有媽媽的. 我也許還是很固執的人, 一家人 生時無法在一起, 死後土能夠在一起也好...唉~
求神能幫我, 給我們的心平安, 請你讓我們能歡歡喜喜到你面前, 不哭泣..

Went to Joshua's marriage seminar (婚姻講座) today. Don't know why I was there, may be my mission to record the talk for W? First time I have used Digital Recorder, I am amazed by the quality of the recorded voice and the mp3 format. I may head to Tandy next week to check the price.

I love Proverbs!
Once upon a time, I told to myself I would read bible till I am old. (Old enough when I have experienced everything in life, when I can't walk properly and have plenty of time to sit peacefully in the wheelchair). I thought the Bible is a must-read but too early for me to spend time on... But now I'd say no other books in life is worthier than the Bible. The words of wisdom from God, I would indeed regret if I read them too late. You wanna taste life? But life is too short to walk on the wrong path that others had already stumbled.

OT is the obvious historical precedent and life experience of others. It shows us how God worked within them and how He fulfills His promises and their consequence of rebellion.

Proverbs 19:20
Listen to advice and accept instruction,
that you may gain wisdom in the future.

Proverbs 24:14
Know that wisdom is such to your soul;
if you find it, there will be a future,
and your hope will not be cut off.

昨 天, 躺在床上玩手机上的"Go Hamster", 开始一直过不了第一关. 3点时满肚怨气地睡下了, 边睡边想, 既然想出一个好方法. 就是先在中间筑墙, 一点一点地延伸, 尽量把图一分为二. Flying animals就活动不自由了, 乘它们弹去其他地方时, Hamster 就要勇敢地向对岸冲! 后来我的小Hamster一连闯了很多关, 过了Netherlands, Greece, USA, France and China!!! 不过最后stuck在炮火连天的西班牙...

要怎样来形容这件事呢?
假想一张白纸吧, 上面画上很多点, 在纸的左右两边各有一点, 看上去离得好远.
但你把纸对折, 这两点就可以叠在一起. 很棒吧, 其实纸上任何两点都可以的.
有时在很难在自身上做改变时, 那就试着改变外界因素吧,
除非正巧是纸上正反面背对背的两点, 那是怎么也碰不到一起的.

Judy, Tina 和 Virginia 來我們家救我們兩個病人. 我被拔了火, 脖子後扎了兩針, 手上6針腿上4針. Li舌頭發黑, 手上6針, 腿上6針. 現在不痛了, 我好想喝可樂....Virginia 從冰箱中沒收走一罐, Li告狀說我還有一大箱....哎....

俐的病快好了, 我卻開始頭暈暈了. 慘了.

做事要有主張; 也要有耐心, 稍安勿躁;
還有就是要有一顆開朗的心 - 開開心心地面對生活.

幾個月前, 澳洲的氣象學家就預測說在罕見的無雨季節後, 會接著有一個大災難. 不知這幾天時來時去的大風大雨是不是他們講的, 但是的確有些可怕.

Haven't participated any of the elections for 4 years.(ie. I have only voted twice as I can remember). Don't know how much they will fine me. Li said it should be $200 for each election I've missed...sigh.. I may face a large budget deficit this time.
