next stop

am i to name every single one of my backpacking trips, i'm inclined to name the next "自虐苏格兰".

gbg - glasgow. 3rd-9th April. the outbound ticket is effectively free, too good to miss. rosslyn chapel~ lock ness monsters~ fergie-land~~ :D

the theme is self-abuse, the period is just shy of a full week, the time is spring when body asks for shocks and toning. it fits wonderfully. might as well target to do the whole trip below 150pounds. in most of my journeys, the only thing that holds me back on senselessly reckless self abuse is my travel partners. even keeping them in mind, most of the time i still under estimate all sorts of human's basic needs... sorry to all that had to endure travelling with me before X|

but, this time, yean came specifically asking for a visit to abuse-land... thus, it seems to be settled... 自虐苏格兰 ^^

hope i wont drop dead soon

aiks, no sussie throwing snowball at me, so i guess it wont happen. as in i wont drop dead.

de reason i'm online this precious night is bcoz the real-liv game is on later... torres dear, look wot you are doing to me... i could really use an early night's rest u know? after last two late and exhausting ones, and the packed one tomorrow that promises to be another energy draining day. but raul + robben on top of... sigh. no, i wont miss this nor the return leg in anfield. come to think of it, how many spaniards will be playing?
real: raul, ramos the player, iker, guti + ramos the coach
liv lagi banyak: torres pulang kampung i oso nak, xabi alonso, riera, arbeloa, reina... + benitez XD

oh, in de end, we din find any silicon in our freakish rubber thru energy dispersion x-ray~~ we are starting to think that stockholm is not so far away after all, if we hav to travel there to receive our nobel price for discovering a new material with such alien properties~~ lisa said they pay 10 million~ oh yes, the money is the only thing that makes nobel price appeal to me.

it rained...

the snowy days

good to be writing again ^^
good the snow finally stops ^^ after... 4 days? still there will be heavy snow fall tmr night, dunno if the PL games will be played in white ^^

oh, talking about PL games, dudu scored twice against cardiff in his come back O_O
wot a feat!

and raul breaks record,
and vds going to break another record if his sheet goes clean vs blackburn this wkend ^^

anyway, i'm suddenly hooked on the swedish sauna XD it just makes me go soft soft soft... all de stiffness goes, weird but somehow wonderful feeling ^^ especially if one does it after swimming or ball games, or a week of work. ah, how i love evthing about chalmers ^^

oh thesis, how come i keep working with things that the department had nv dealed before? salt bath modeling in melbourne, and now this weird rubber that
-- doesnt even seem bothered at 1100degC, when the ceramic crucible that holds it already "de-sinthered"... (rubber tht hav higher melting temperature than ceramics~) ah forgot to add, except that one of them turned into a yellowish-green from grey. and back to grey when it's cooled to room temperature.
-- doesnt have a linear stress-strain relationship region.
-- sticks on wotever equipment we are testing it with.
-- more problems to be discovered XD

freakish material ="=
and did i mention that the thickness of our material is scarcely 0.13mm?
anyway, it's still satisfying that we've gone this far for less than a month :)
no, i'll shut up now and keep those problems our own :P

i've got another baby xmas tree, from the same pair of dedicated hands apparently :)
havnt re-potted it, dunno if any good soil can be found under all these snow...


hm, my mind seems to be jumping here and there like a flea tonight...
anyway, finally, for 3 months now, this Fool has occupied a lot of my time! ^^
let me introduce~ the Fool with mousey~

XO

puss & kram - kiss & hug ^^
they call it alla hjärtans dag - all the heart's day ^^
well, fate brought this day to be on saturday and also grants gothenburg another day of glorious cloudless sky ^^
i dont really recall how commercialized was valentine's day in msia... but we wont miss these anywhere? ^^

flowers, balloons and soft toys


chocolates

cards and small gifts

restaurant

books??

and more roses...



-5 was the temperature, but all the radiated human warmth shall chase the cold away ^^
but lets run away from all these commercialization for a little while, shall we?
to somewhere that befits such affection ^^
somewhere that belongs only to us
your eyes, and my camera

they walk up and down Avenyn street to give out free hugs ^^

my goodness me, those two are kissing in public!

sweet~

happy valentine's :)

统考故事 之 美术考卷

哦，十五元宵夜，该是个风花雪月的日子^^ 没去抛/捞柑吗？送上小品一则 :)

记得当年登记高中统考的时候，经过几番考虑，我决定在三年美术课空白的状态下报考美术。铕坚（啊，好难打的名字。。。）填完他的报考科目后，以地球人看火星人的眼光看着我，
“你考美术？！”
忘了我是怎样回答他的。
哦，他Tan Y.我Tan X.吗，在我后面登记。玮玮是Tan W.，在我前面，哈~ 咳咳，扯远了。。。

我的美术在中学生涯中并不出名XP 那一股勇气也不知是从哪里来的。。。反正，在只有自己给自己准备的状态下（谢谢玲的哥借我静物写生的参考书:D），就到了正式统考前的那个周末。。。考美术的那个周末，其他人都在拼命啃其他课本的那个周末。

纯理科班的我们，报考美术的敢死队其实并不少，大概有5-6个？其中文龙还拿了全国十大，了不起^^

记得第一张卷子在早上7点多一些就开始了。卷子是选答中楷小楷/水墨画。怎样？没考过统考美术的冒冷汗了吧XD 独中实在是孕育中华文化的摇篮啊。。。咳咳，小的当然选答了从八岁就开始“浸淫”的中、小楷 XD 考完后，我们略喘了一口气，紧接着就是选答平面/立体设计。立体设计又是一项别开生面的考法。考生得从家里带一大包材料到考场，然后在考场里制造题目中的物体。记得我们那年其中一道题是灯饰。非常好玩，但我的勇气还没有去到那个境界，我保守地选择了平面设计。作画的各种材料当然也是考生自给自足，marker pen，蜡笔，poster colour，彩纸。。。我选的题目是设计一间服装店的招牌，店名"时装总汇 fashion exchange" ^^啊，有些记忆是好久好久都不会忘记的 ^^

考完已经时过正午了。那样聚精会神地挥洒数小时，还有点脱力的感觉。我在拉筋，不行，下午还有一张卷子呢。一大群人结伴到校外的意大利饼店去解决午餐，赶回来时最后一题刚好快开始了。选答人物写生/静物写生/想象画。从上文大家就知道我选了静物吧 ^^ 这一张卷子才是我报考的真正原因哪 :)

走进考堂的当儿就看到了题目。椰子和竹篮，摆在一张位于国字楼三楼，靠窗的桌子上。啊:D 有感觉的题目~~ 是小时候的感觉，阿公阿嫲的感觉~ 我一边走，一边在细嚼品味。嗯，就是这个感觉，棕色的老椰要线条粗粗，肮脏肮脏的；嫩竹编织的篮子要柔软，干净干净的。。。当时，脑袋里在疯狂感受的我，嘴角有挂着微笑吗？^^

全校报考静物的学生不多，7-8个？想象画才是热门。我唯一没选的热门^^

抱着一手的“家铲”，我在找适合的角度坐下。从摆放物品的桌子左边走到右边，右边再走回左边，我不禁开始皱眉。静物写生的考题静物是由监考老师摆放的。他们似乎有一些指示，哪一个物品该在哪一个前面，大概该怎么摆设。。。可是。。。构图。。。自由构图的权利没有了。。。画幅长宽的比例也不完全自由。。。最后，我选择了靠最右边的位子。其实坐了那个位子的主要原因是-慢慢来的我代表着那个视觉集中点的正前方的位子都满了:P 啊，反正那个位子周围都没有人，可以不被干扰。在那个窗口旁，和正前呈90度角的位子上坐下来后，我才发现那个位子的至上优点^^
光。
窗外的光，从旁边来:D

我的静物写生是用铅笔作画。黑与白的世界里，光的重要性自然大大的提高了 :)
时间到，最后的加工完成，已是下午五时许。我累得。。。但竟敢有“至少会拿B”的狂妄想法XD
只是，在我还盯着自己刚完成的作品孤芳自赏的当儿，坐得最靠近的国烘竟然晴天霹雳地抛来了一句，
“你打算将子交上去？！！天啊！”
SHIT. 我当时心理装的是这个字。至于实际上我好像跟他点了点头，笑笑说 嗯 ="=

这，就是我的美术考卷 ^^

ok, torres pics

special request...
ah, dont ever tempt me to do this again.... XD

快点闪一边 我们在庆功宴
谁叫你还搞不清楚 我跟你的差别
Yeah 我是 superman
Yeah 我是 superman
Yeah 我是 superman...


F.L.Y.

oh, special treat coming XD

for you, woei~

i really enjoyed watching them in this tournament. World Cup 2006 :) post my favourite goal of that tournament at the end of this post 好了 ^^

look at puyol... tsk-tsk-tsk... ^^

tot - arsenal live update, eduardo and arshavin on subs! and robbie kean back in white hart lane as captain. i'll come back for the last 15mins then :D

YNWA it says, torres torres...

man, i really dont know wot to feel when he does that... for liverpool.

i dont mind if he does it day in day out for spain. but anyway, united still have two games in hand and thus some margin. so i'm still in peace with that. that as in my loyalty towards united and affection towards elnino XP

i'd been waiting patiently for 75mins and finally benitez saw fit to nudge him into the game. it was 1-1 at that time. (actually it was quite an entertaining game, although rafa din think they'll need any striker in the first 11 :P)
then liverpool went down to 2-1 shortly after.
in reply, elnino pounced on a missed ball by a portsmouth defender, and kuyt did a full spirited job to equalize from a tight tight tight angle, with the ball torres cut back to him.
then, ofcoz, in injury time, torres himself scored the match winning goal, with a header delivered by the outstanding yossi yossi benayoun. this, after those two he scored to kill chelsea in the dieing minutes (89' and 90') just a week ago.

and this was when i believed he is back. tht game before the chelsea game, when he controlled the ball like tht and did tht sweet little flip, providing gerrard to score that wonderful equalizer in their FA cup tie with everton. (good they lost the tie anyway XD)


i shall admit that i kept trying to mock copy torres' inspiring moves with my little round best friend for fun. with imaginary opponents XD but guess i'll have great trouble with this one and shall give it a pass ;P

the "torres song" was rattling the stadium for the full 20mins he was on pitch today. i couldnt help humming it along ^^

lucky liverpool fans...

thesis v favco

there are too many similarities in working this thesis and working in favco @_@

it's a 4-5 months project like the 100 and 200RLs i handled;
the old grand chart and timesheets are adopted for planning, they are actually quite useful;
i deal with de supervisor in Ericsson like i dealed with the clients;
i deal with de chalmers examiners like i dealed with mr. shrek; (they are so easy to please after having shreky...)
there are the experiments that we need to run and interpret like testings and QA/QC;
there are specimens we need to prepare before that like the work on the production floor;
some experiments we cant run in de department, so? out source, look for subcons. we might need to work with the physics department, go to Borås or even Jonköping;
we called AGA to buy and transport liquid nitrogen for us, that's purchasing and logistics;
we need to prepare quotations for Ericsson, not unlike the cost calculations we make for spec change demands from our clients;
and ofcoz we secured the thesis ourselves, that's sales;
the literature studies are like reading client specs;
the meeting where we sat and talked along with our chalmers supervisors and Ericsson supervisor were the External Kikc-off Meeting;
the meeting where we sat and go thru everything after reading most of the literature and make sure everyone is on the same channel was not so unlike a Project Checklist Meeting...
good god there's no accounting involved.

even weirder still, my life has gone to the way it had been when i was working.

here, a couple of pictures from our first tests. these are from optical microscopes, the first 100x magnification, the 2nd 1000x. both are taken on the same spot. tell me why do we see big black particles in the first and small white ones in the 2nd :P

100x

1000x

ABBA v abba

I dont wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though its hurting me
Now its history
I've played all my cards
And thats what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play

The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
Thats her destiny

the winner takes it all?
lets counter it with chiquitita ^^

Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they’re leaving
You’ll be dancing once again and the pain will end
You will have no time for grieving
Chiquitita, you and I cry
But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita
Try once more like you did before
Sing a new song, chiquitita

^^
(extra large grin)

rafa is bullet proof
but roger is roger,
if he cries, it's most likely that he'll come back :)

and so are you :)

oh, the songs, there >>

slottskogen - my neverland

hmm... ppl come to ask me take pics of them ah...
2nd one so far, does it mean that my reputation is building? O_o

and my own catches~
little grey!!!! uncanny O.o

who have been leaving their trails?

fire tree on a small island in the snow covered frozen pond

warning for thin ice

peacock hut

horsey

king of the woods

the new manga section in city library :D

bronze rose

phenomena

venus and moon :D venus is that bright single dot so low in de sky... the silhoutte of the pine (xmas) tree on the left and a bare brunch on the right are indications of how low it was... since the night was still young. they were in the west.

and with the sky as clear as this, orion and ursa major was both up flanking me ^^ that was how i confirm the direction of moon and venus. this was my best effort capturing orion. even one of the stars that make his belt is missing >.< ursa major is entirely too dim... how i wish to have a DSLR at time like this...

and the show that steals the glamour of the night...

notice anything?
the dash of green on the sky, upper mid in the picture, see that?
top right corner of the one below... and joined by another dash of brighter orangy red ^^



aurora in gothenburg?
a check in de internet told us that the magnetogram in Kiruna shows a modest surge at 6.30pm and peaks just above 35nT around 6.45pm. the pics are taken between 6.30 to 7.00pm :P de green one did shift in shape and colour, but we are still unsure. happy til hugging each other anyway, haha...

another couple of pics that i enjoy from today

festival in Louyang ~ CNY special :D

"hey, this doesnt look like Morroc at all... ="= " Sate observed, looking at the ancient fortress' wall.

"well, Morroc is walled like a fortress you know..." the dreamy voice of a young acolyte trailed off upon the look in Sate's pale blue eyes.

"dun tell me you've wrapped us to a wrong place again!" Sate is furious and the dagger in his hand is now treateningly close to the acolyte's smooth neck.

"bullying Ami again? this is not how you should treat a young lady." Grass put a knuckle onto Sate's head. he yelled out in pain and shot Grass an annoyed look while lowering his dagger, trying to make Grass see that the girl should learn her lesson for randomly wrapping ppl to unwanted destinations. Ami had already wrapped him to Lutie. when Sate found the acolyte in the inn where they bunked in Lutie, and was trying to make the girl pay for it, Ami had offer to make amendments by wrapping them to Morroc for real. but it seemed that the acolyte had not really mastered the wrap portal skill yet...

at that moment, the near dark sky suddenly burst out of flames of every colour imaginable. fireworks. some with sparks that twinkles like a thousand stars, some will trailing tails as long as a comets, some took de shape of exotic flowers, some are like firebirds freed from their cage dashing in all directions, some like fairies soaring gracefully across the night sky, and others... all eight eyes of Ami's, Sate's, Grass' and Ai's were locked onto the magnificient show.

someone suddenly muttered that they must be in Louyang. but the fireworks was so breath taking tht no one paid de words more attention than just taking the meaning of them in. the great show lasted more than 15mins and was concluded by a giant fire dragon twisting and dancing and suddenly bursting into a million gold coins before their eyes. they could hear a loud roar and applaus from within the fortress. a huge celebration was going on.

"wow, that was really something O.O" Sate was in awe. he had totally forgot his wrath over Ami.

"we've been forgetting the dates, it is chinese new year eve! we use the lunar calendar in Payon too ^^" Ai explained. she went on to tell them that she'd heard about the huge festive celebration and the splendid fireworks in Louyang this time of the year since she was a girl. and none of the captivating stories from the few travellers who did get to Louyang during the festivals had done justice to the performance they'd just witnessed.

the party agreed to spend the night in the city to enjoy the festival. Sate suddenly thought he'd caught a sly grin on Ai's face. was it a sly grin? on Ai's face? the nice and lovely Ai? he shook his head and dismissed it.

the streets of the city is lighted by red lanterns, big and small, and in all sorts of designs. some fully round, some cylindrical, some egg like, some in rectangular blocks. red papers scribed with foreign characters in black ink decorates most of the doors of the houses. Ai explained that they are for blessings and good fortune, and enlightened them with all the unfamiliar things they encountered along the walk. but the streets themselves were deserted. Ai said evone would be in the raised stage infront of the carved stone wall in the heart of the city. so there was where they went anticipatingly.

as they got closer to the central, the buzzing of a crowd got louder. there were even sounds of drums and gongs and musics foreign to most of them. they turned a corner, and suddenly two dancing dragon sprang into their view.

dancing dragons

"MONSTERS!!" Sate shouted and fled behind Grass, dagger drawn. the arc wand was in Ami's hand, she now stands behind Grass too, shaking slightly but eyes filled with determination. Grass himself was in shock. behind the dancing dragons were a group of munaks, bonguns and hyeguns. a rough count said there were nine of them. and beside that group was a few limemangryangs lurking about. Grass lifted his morning star in a stance of defence, protecting his two younger companions. his heart dropped in dismay when he saw the fair and graceful bacsojin on the brightly decorated main stage, with chung-e and a civil servant flanking her sides. it was a festival for monsters.

munak and bongun ^^

hyegun


more monsters that were scattered around the stage now gathers towards them. but the biggest shock for him came when he turned his head slightly aside to see if Ai is ok. he found her relax in her posture, even a mocking smile playing on her lips, looking at all three of them. he could not fathom the situation. no. surely not. Ai cant be a spy? no!

the crowd of monster was closing in slowly. the group of chinese undeads with amulets on their foreheads had moved behind them and rounded them. the few moments were like years as Sate remembered it. he and Ami were now back to back with Grass to face them. the mob infront of the stage splited in the middle to let the beautiful royal lady and her servants come thru. the cat faced civil servant stepped infront of his mistress and drew nearer. two more steps, two more steps and he would be in striking distance, Grass measured. he would need Ai's attacking power with the bow, but it doesnt seem wise to be counting on it now. no, in fact he should be wary of her. he couldn't believe it. all these years together, all these years that they've known each other. he even thought she loved him.

bacsojin

civil servant

chung-e


the civil servant stopped just outside his attacking range. and bowed. he threw his paper fan open and started,
"humans, my mistress bacsojin and her people welcome you to Louyang on this day." at the sound of that, the two dancing dragon sprang alive with drums and gongs, dancing in welcoming gestures of bows and high spirit. four horongs let out more fireworks in smaller scales. two brightly coloured fire butterflies welcoming the two female guests and two fire phoenix for the males. as these was done, the civil servant continue,
"let us monsters and humans forget our war and be at peace for this day. we offer you our full hospitality." he finished his short welcoming speech with another bow and went back to his mistress' side. bacsojin gave the human party a nod of welcome and Ai bowed back at her. seeing this, all three of the others hestitantly copied her move and bowed stiffly to the monster lady. she went quietly back to her place at the high stage.

A dumpling child ran to the side of Ami and handed her a dumpling skewer. he lolled his tongue at her and ran off before she'd even recovered from the shock. Sate and Grass were still blinking in disbelieve while Ai was grinning at them.

dumpling child


"you knew it! why din you tell us!" Sate suddenly demanded.

"well, i thought it would be a pleasant surprise, was it not?" she smiled affablely to them all. all three sighed in resignation.

the dumpling child was then back with them again, this time handing another dumpling skewer to Sate. he then ran to walk hand in hand back to them with an old man floating on a cloud. a cloud with a face. a taoist hermit ="= and a wild ginseng following them... the three who'd never heard of this monster festival before that day sweated feverously. /swt

taoist hermit


"hey, how nice to see humans here again, it had been three years since any of you came." the taoist hermit greeted them. they replied as civilly as they could. and Ai doing most of the talking as the others were still positively uncomfortable. the taoist hermit told them they floated there all the way from Gonryun, on his faced cloud, to join the festival every year. when the important evil snake lord and evil nymph came to express their welcome and joined their conversation, Grass thought he'd had too much and decided to take the younger ones away for a walk.

evil snake lord, also a taoist ah...


(hi, it's your friendly explaner again~ evil snake lord is a very powerful and formidable MVP monster of Gonryun. bacsojin is a half boss in Louyang. as you might have guessed, we thought Gonryun is 昆仑 and there is no reason to not suspect that Louyang is actually 洛阳 ^^ ah, and horong is simply a ghost fire monster ^^)

the dumpling child had asked for leave from the taoist hermit to follow Ami and Sate. his unlimited supply of delicious dumplings that seemed to materialize in air had bought him the hungry duo's friendship. he was soon showing them around the stalls that was set up surrounding the main stage. the civil servant was now pacing with one hand behind his back and another fanning his paper fan slowly, telling a story from the ancient days. they said de story was called 'the journey to the west'; chung-e was performing a puppet show, with her spirit and her body playing two different marionettes; horongs with their fire shows; dancing dragons rolling up and down the streets; numerous food stalls, lantern stalls, game stalls, fortune telling stalls and all kinds of fun that neither Ami nor Sate had ever imagined.

Grass shook his head in disbelieve at how easily the children had blended in. he walked sololy on the alien streets and bumped into a group of chinese undeads. he tried to smile but found his face frozen and the smile awkward. as he was slowly backing away and tried to flee, a hyegun thrown his arms around his shoulder and pushed a tawny ceramic bottle into his hands.

"try it. it's gao liang, you'll like it." the hyegun offered. Grass couldnt see the monster's face as it was concealed by his long hair. and the amulet sticking out on the side of his head made him all de more spooky and frightening. a bongun urged him to drink up. he didnt know wot the heck gao liang was but he didnt want to offend a whole gang of chinese undeads. so he obediently did.

he felt the liquid burn in his tongue and throat as he swallowed it. "alcohol?" he asked. the amulet caught the wind and flipped, and Grass saw his companion's bloodlessly pale handsome face as the bongun nodded. the liquor burned strongly but Grass liked the way it warmed his stomach. he gave his companions his appreciation.

"come, we shall be ashamed if you are not well fed and entertained this night. follow us, there is food a plenty here." the hyegun half dragged Grass to the food street and filled his stomach with a kind of well cooked gravied pork dish they called 'east hill meat', something that reminded him of squashed meat balls coated and bbqed with honey which they called 'meat dry', some delicacy that tasted like fried seaweeds, a kind of yam paste desert, and off the bests, a kind of soup they called 'god jump wall'. fruits seemed to be mainly consist of pomelos, mandarin oranges and enchanted peaches from Gonryun.

Grass was soon drinking more gao liang and teaching the chinese undeads his gambling tricks with guli's while they generally complained about how hard life was in the underworld. later hours found hyegun asking him if he would be interested in a visit to the 'green homes', which he understood to be where man could burn underworld money for private services of munaks ="= he sweated heavily...

midnight brought all monsters and ppl back to the main stage. they were told there would be a mass prayer. lighted incenses was passed out to everyone. all held their own between their closed palms infront of their chests. lady bacsojin herself had three insences in her palms and the evil snake lord was standing beside her with another three. they lead, and the monster crowd muttered quiet prayers in their own language. the four humans mimiced. it was unnerving to see how the monsters practise some ceremonies so human-like. Grass suddenly thought that they are not so different from human after all.

when the prayer ended, a fresh field of fireworks were set ablaze by a mass of horongs, almost making the night as bright as day. these were shaped like flower buds, like young stems unfolding from their seeds, like tender baby animals crawling out of their egg shells, it was a celebration of the arrival of spring. the priest was left stunned, amazed by the wonderful creation of the kind which humans had always dispised and warred with.

shortly after the ceremony, Grass took leave from his company when Ai came looking for him. together, they found the three kids asleep, head leaning against each other on the meadow beside the water way. the taoist hermit came shortly after them, the wild ginseng still trotting behind him. they carried the two human children on their backs, and the taoist hermit floated the dumpling child off after they said good night to each other.

the temporary tents the monsters set up for them was on the other side of the meadow by the water way. Ai and Grass sat side by side outside the tent where the children slept. they were facing the water and enjoying the warm southern wind of spring. Ai leaned against Grass' broad chest as they watched the wind stir ripples on the water. her face glowed red at the reflection of the red lanterns. she closed her eyes and was grateful for the tranquility.

"happy chinese new year." she whispered, before falling into a peaceful and dreamless sleep.
