上网
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
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
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。 :)
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.
暂时工
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...
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.
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)
