上网

我现在在图书管上网,这图书管离开我家只须15分钟步行。图书管的营业时间是从早上8.45am-7pm。从今天开始我将会每天来图书管上网直到我开工为止。这里环境不错,又可以自习。不过有一样事情蛮担心的是怕我的电脑会被偷抢。我会尽量小心的。

I had problem accessing to the internet at home since last week, according to my next door housemate it is due to the failure of internet service provider. So i decided to come to my nearby library where i can access to the internet for free. This library is just 15 minutes walking distance from my house. Opening hour from 8.45am -7pm. I'll come here everyday until i start working on next monday. I think this is a good place to access to the internet as i can study as well. But 1 thing i quite worry is that my mac might be stolen, because i had revealed it to the public. Anyway, i'll be extra careful.

自我支撑的椅子 Self-Sustainable Chair



它是用7个垃圾袋, 2英尺式的泵和一双拖鞋造成的. 鞋泵入空气,一步一步的慢慢把洋装变成一张椅子. 人就可以舒适的坐在它上面。这椅子会因人的体重而慢慢的泄气, 回到原来的洋装. 是不是很新奇呢 ?

The dress is made up of 7 trash bags, 2 foot-pumps and a pair of slippers. The shoes pump air into an inflatable bubble attached to its rear part on each step, slowly turning the garment into a chair.

electronic meat smeller 电子肉类检查器




我觉得这个装置非常酷.它基本上采取未煮过肉类周围的空气抽样, 这装置可检测并发现到细菌所产生气体的存在. 如果颜色是绿, 指肉是新鲜的, 黄色意味着它还可以吃, 红色的意思是"不可以吃."
I find this device is very cool. It basically takes a sampling of the air around the uncooked meat and detects the presence of bacteria, which produce gasses that can be detected with this device. The results are color-coded so taht green means the meat is fresh, yellow means it's "okay" but not for long , and red means "don't eat it."

聪明的消费者

我上网搜尋到免费VOIP (Internet 网连接电话)的网站,提供免费电话通话 (固话&手机)到40个国家,包括马来西亚.免费持续到今年年底。只有wifi电话可以使用.

I've been surfing the net for free VOIP and came to this website that offer free call (landline & mobile) to 40 countries including Malaysia. But it only works if you have a Wifi phone, and the offer last until end of the year.


我的中国同事告诉我,只要是这个网站 QUIDCO.CO.UK 能找到的品牌, 他们会给予現金回馈. 我浏览e2save,发现他们给予任何新手机户口,£ 36.50的現金回馈。 所以我决定要在这网站找任何的好处。 :)

My chinese colleague told me about this website, Quidco.co.uk that give cashback if I can find the brand they have. I remember browsing e2save and noticed they give £36.50 cashback on any mobile I sign. So I decided to look for any good deal in e2save.


e2save给予免费Nokia N80 wifi手机,12个月的合同免费10个月.我将获得免费600分钟和500个短信,每月成本£40, O2 直接从我的银行帐户扣. 每3个月我得送我的电话帐单来领取Cashback. 这是很值得的, 因为我用公司的电话,没有免费分钟或短讯,每月缴交£10.

e2save was giving a free wifi phone, Nokia N80 on a clearance sales, with 10 months free on 12 months contract. I will get 600 minutes and 500 sms free per month. The plan cost £40 per month, and O2 will direct debit from my bank account. I need to send in my phone bill to claim the cashback every 3 months. It is quite worthy as I'm using company phone at the moment and paying £10 in average for my usage. There is no free minutes or sms given.

我只需支付2个月,£40 x2,但扣除£36。5 cashback之后,我实际上1年是支付£43。获得一个免费电话,并每月享有600min + 500sms. 这绝对是聪明的方法。

All I need is to pay 2 months , £40 x2 , but after deducting the cashback of £36.5, I'm actually paying £43.5 in 1 year to get a free phone, and enjoy 600min + 500sms per month. This is definately the smart way to get a good deal.

暂时工

明天我将会开始打暂时工。这份工其实是莉圆的姐姐Nicole的工,因为Nicole星期三将会回国所以我会暂时代替Nicole直到店找到人为此。这是一份类似Waitress的工。工钱蛮低的,不过相信会是不同的人生经验吧。呵呵。我应该不会做超过一个礼拜。还有就是这个礼拜天和礼拜一我将会为欧洲最大的嘉年华做益工, 这是我这次回来想要做的事情之一。希望一切顺利啦。:))

I will be working temporary as waitress tomorrow in one of the busiest shopping street, Oxford Street in London to replace Leann's sister, Nicole as she will be going back Singapore this Wednesday. I will have to replace her until they hire somebody, probably won't be too long. I think it is quite interesting and looking forward to work for them tomorrow. The next big thing is I'll be volunteering for the biggest carnival in Europe, the "Notting Hill Carnival" (http://www.visitlondon.com/events/detail/836782) on this coming Sunday and Monday. This is one of the event i wish to participate long time ago! Update you guys after the event ya. :))

We passed...

我们刚通过了驾驶理论测试.我们一直努力学习.测试分为两节.第1节, 35个目标问题,你要得分最低30/35 .第2是一个危险的考验.这是最难的.你需要观察14个videos,有15危害.你需要找出危害.得分最低45/75.如果你发现它已经太迟了,你会得到零. 我们来了个打赌,低得分手得请分较高的一顿饭.

成绩如下
Cherlyn Objectives 35/35, Hazards test 62/75
Brian Objectives 35/35, Hazards test 54/75

我赢了..好快乐.

We just passed our driving theory test. It was so great. We has been study hard for the test. It is not that easy as what we had in Malaysia. The test is divided into two sections. Section 1, 35 objectives questions, you have to score minimum 30/35. Section 2 is a hazard test. This is the toughest. You need to watch 14 movie clips with 15 hazards. You need to spot the hazards and score a minimum 45/75. If you spot it too late, you will got zero. We got a bet over the test, the lower scorer have to treat the higher scorer a meal. I win.. happy happy.






色彩东东 Colour

最近我 迷上了充满色彩的东东。 总是花时间上网去寻找 一些关于色彩花案的东西。以下都是我的新发现 。


















家的含义

枯藤老树昏鸦,小桥流水人家,古道西风瘦马。夕阳西下,断肠人在天涯。

家,是游子孤苦漂泊时的记挂。

家,是无私无图的爱之源。

家,是儿女柔嫩的翅膀折伤后避风的港湾。

家,是一颗高飞的心扯也扯不断的牵连。

家,不会背叛我;家,不会遗弃我。

家,不会算计我;家,不会中伤我。

疲倦奔忙一天后带来片刻休息的,是家。

数九寒天里备着一床暖暖的绒被和一炉跳动的火苗的,是家。

被人陷害落入迷茫后送来慰藉与倾力之助的,是家。

一意孤行,走上邪路后,拼命拉你走出沼泽泥潭的,是家。

漆黑的夜,万籁俱寂的瑟瑟心虚中点亮一盏发着橘色光的灯的,是家。

没有家的灵魂,是不完整的灵魂。

没有家的精神,是有缺憾的精神。

诺大的天地间,设想一个孤独的个体,是如何的渺小,纵是有多么的顽强,多么自立,他没有家的情感,无论如何也不得任性,社会复杂,人心叵测。累了无休息之地,冷了无避寒之所,饿了无裹腹之物,再多的苦,也无人可去诉说……

还是不必展开这些叫人寒心的思索,我们要懂得感恩,感恩我们的家和家中的每一个人,感恩他们以无私无求,天地般广阔的胸怀所给予我们的付出——从呱呱坠地时起,到垂垂老矣时也未终。

当然,我们拒绝形神相离的家。不是一方地,几间房,有老有小就是家。我们渴望的是真正意义的家——欢声笑语是家每天的节奏,亲情融融是家不变的旋律,同甘共苦是家永远的主题,和舟共济是家始终的信念。即使有吵有闹有分歧,也是家再所难免的——插曲。

别让家仅是我们对爱与关怀索取不竭的储蓄存折,我们更应自觉添入自己的积累。爱无止境,则家冻结。谅解着,牵挂着,感怀着关心着我们的家,不要在有生之年犯下对家无可挽回的罪过。熬一锅心灵鸡汤,悄悄地端摆在家的中央。 作者:李旭(高二25班)
