好想痛哭一场  

Posted by fran

哭不是错。


是。我承认我是爱哭的。但是哭绝对不是懦弱的象征,更不是低头的的代号。

"Weeping is one of the mechanisms that humans use to get rid of some toxins. Tears may be involved in removing waste products or toxic substances from the body. Perhaps that is why so many people say they feel better after crying."

The chemical components of tears are far more complicated than one would imagine. Li Jin introduced an interesting experiment conducted by American scientists. The scientists first had some volunteers watch a sad movie, and then they collected their tears. Later they had these volunteers cut onions to generate tears. Chemical analysis afterwards showed that the tears collected from cutting onions are very different from those created by watching a sad movie.

Some people may think that crying is just a loss of control and a sign of weakness. But actually, crying is a form of stress release.

...

"When you feel pressure, frustration, sorrow or anger - any negative emotions - you should take effective measures to release them. Stress is terrible for the health of your brain, heart and other organs. Crying is natural, healthy and curative. So don¡¯t wait until your sadness becomes a depressive disorder."

哭是一种疏解压抑情绪的管道。哭是一种人的本能。哭是自我的,放纵的,没有负担的。

哭没有错。重要的是哭过以后依然能重拾属于自己的快乐。重新站起来,重新面对一切。哭不是保护伞也不是方舟。但哭是情感的气垫,让人在面对现实的同时也有能倚赖的支撑点。哭不是解决方案。但哭能让情绪有个缓冲期。哭吧!但哭完之后请记得重拾自我。信念是会永继经营的。

当然,肿得可以的眼睛是必然的代价。^^

中秋节快乐  

Posted by fran

最近的自己变得好慵懒。不想理任何东西。不想花心思。中秋节刚刚过了,还没有提到灯笼。第二次不在家过中秋节了,感触已没那么深。还是有些许怀念数年前提着灯笼往公园走的晚上。和家人坐在皎洁的月亮照得到的亭子里吃着其实不特别好吃的月饼,那种简单的美好变得有点遥远了。在家真好...

七色花  

Posted by fran



已经忘了完整的故事。只依稀记得小女孩,甜甜圈,小狗和象征希望的七色花。

一个本该幽静恬宜的周末,因为一些事变得异常累人。想起了已封存在记忆里的七色花。七个不同颜色的花瓣,每一片皆能替小女孩实现一个愿望。现在的自己真的很希望能拥有七色花...

希望七色花能替自己悄悄地传个信息给这个周末受伤害的朋友。希望以后的我们仍然是打打闹闹的一班。希望这无伤大雅的玩笑不会留下抹不去的伤痕。

Ju, 对不起。

My Epicurean Diary I  

Posted by fran

Question of the day: What can one does in a shopping complex when she has sprained her ankle and got two nice wounds on her knees?;)

My answer: Well, since she cldn't really walk or shop despite being in a shopping complex, she was designated to get herself one nice meal treat after all the wretchedness. And thus comes my epicurean diary I.=D

Together with my sis, i went to Sakae Sushi @ Subang Parade for dinner on friday evening, 4th September after visiting doc for my poor ankle. That's our first time to dine in Sakae Sushi together. (Ahh...my dear sis has alwiz been the best accompany i could ever get to dine together. But too bad, even tho she dsnt grow fat despite being quite a glutton, i do. Significantly. T_T) We spent around $80, but do think its worth it. Afterall I shouldn't defy god's will of taking me to Parade with my ankle sprained. XD

Didn't take pics for all that we have ordered, but still managed to capture quite a few.=)

Its chicken kaminabe on the left in the pic above. A paper steamboat with chicken and assorted vege in the steaming hot kaminabe soup. I don't favour dishes with onion (with several exceptions, of course) but trust me, the soup was good with the rings of onion in it. Theres also beancurd and some mushrooms (erm, i reli don't noe what r their names in eng, so, 金针菇and 香菇) in it in addition to chicken cutlets which was tender. If you like dishes which are not heavily flavoured, this clear kaminabe soup might be a good choice that you would want to try. Its $16.090.

The sushi on the right is Fruitti Maki. Tiny pieces of mango and avocado were used (as you can see, the yellow and green thingy on top of the sushi) while salmon in the centre and fish floss coating around actually play the major role (erm thats wad i think personally). Seriously think that the salmon inside is sashimi. $12.90

M gna do it clockwise starting from the green plate. Kakiage - Shredded vege tempura drizzled with teriyaki sauce. Believe or not, it was scrumptious - and it costed us onli $1.90. Among the vege used are carrot, aubergine and green capsicum. Salmon Chicken Maki - Salmon mayonnaise, cheese and shrimp roe on top. Quite a delightful one but nothing reli special. $5.90. Soft sheel crab maki - Coated with sesame. A bit not up to par for a soft shell crab dish but not too letting down either. It was $3.90. And owh, we both ordered hot green tea (or genmai tea-as it is in the menu??=S).

Baked kim-cheese scallop. Its scallop (I think it was coated with flour mixture-i noe dough refer to those stiff enuf to knead and i don't noe whats e name for the one which is more runny-before being fried) baked with kimuchi and cheese. Shrimp roe is used and the dressing is spicy mayonnaise which didnt seem to be spicy at all to me. Juz very slightly. It costed us $14.90 and i sincerely advocate trying-if u love scallop and cheese. M a lover of both so despite being a bit burnt, It was still fantastic to me. Thumb up for this.=D

We have also ordered Kappa Maki (the classic japanese cucumber sushi) and mini ice-cream daifu. We both liked the cute little gnocchi-looking ice-cream coated with a glutinous surface.

Lastly, theres a little bit of homework for myself to do:


Objectives:
i. To understand the reason/theory of why the paper does not burn into ashes and what sort of material is that.

ii. Find out what's the translucent crystalline 'stones' that was lighted up as fuel and burned for at least 45 minutes as well as the chemistry behind it.

I think I gotta wait for several months before we have to money and chance to dine in one nice restaurant again. Anyone knows the science behind the paper steamboat?? Do tell me.=)

I Want to Know The Truth. Of Everything.

Now i have just been informed by my friends. Now the puzzles' clear. So now i have one good reason to give. YOU ARE UNWORTHY OF MY TRUST. Theres no even basic respect. Think I am being biased? PROVE ME WRONG.

The Prank of Facebook Account  

Posted by fran

M gonna tell a recent story of mine, as i see the necessity to clarify the whole picture of it. I am not going to mention everyone's name but a few, so if u have been following i guess a smart reader like u wld be able to comprehend; if u have not been following it theres no such needence to continue reading as tats gna be a waste of time.=)

Although it might be rather astonishing, but yeah, i don't have a fb account. I supposed it bothers my friends/classmates as it is somehow inconvenient when they are using fb applications. Without prior notification, they have created one using my hotmail addrs. Since m the one holding my hotmail (sounds like m not sober to say so. Of course i am the one holding it since i alredi said its mine, rite? but you'll soon understand why m writing this when you get the picture of what's going on), the notifications were hence being sent to my hotmail account n i eventually became aware of the existence of "my" fb acct and wad was goin on. My dear friends had rather good timing, knowing that i wouldn't have singned in within few days time after the creation of the acct, and were so prompted to play a prank before handing over the acct to me. (Know me quite well huh? Dunno if its my pleasure or misery for having such friends...O.0 lolz!) So basically, it was so that i'll have a fb account while the prank was utterly for fun without any abominable intention. I can assure that.

There weren't many people added as "my" friends in fb, all but those who knew bout the prank. And my profile, etc. were all kept private with limited access initially so that the prank is just a prank. And the fun part's here. One of them, who hold the fb password to access "my" fb acct played me, and the rest of them played themselves. They had fun "helping" me to reply comments on fb and post stuffs. Managed to read a bit of them (Thanks R!!=D) and didnt think those were lyk what i would say tho but still there were some who didn't quite understand the situation and was fooled. Hmm i wondered if my friends had fun commenting and replying their own selves. XD

Regrettably, the prank obviously induced someone's dissatisfaction. Now could someone please tell me with absolute certainty, does an ex-bf have the rite to reprimand a gal when shes with someone else after broken up for almost half a year? No no, don't give me the answer straight away. Theres another question for you. What if the gal isnt attached and it was just some purposely-made scandals by frenz for fun and he started to speak sarcastically without even trying to understand whats actually going on? One more to go: What if he himself has alredi been dating other gals yet reprimanding the gal? Now tell me whats ur opinion on that. Looks like i need help reformating my mind set...

I am not gonna make this post one thats full of choler. And hatred shall never be part of my life. Choler and hatred clearly have no benefit. And they overwhelm one's ability to stay cool to reason wif impartiality. I was just...disappointed. I tot one would have better control of his/her emotion than this. I tot trying to look at the best side of everything shd be an attitude implemented in everyone. I tot one should at least try to understand the whole situation before demanding for apologies. I tot he shd have realise thats not the rite way to handle things. I tot he wld have regretted posting those messages instead of hoping people have noted his severe displeasure... M not flawless and m not gonna pretend that m entirely innocent. But gravely, what my friends think now is, to think things over was certainly one of the few right decisions a blur person like me ever made in my past 18 years.

I seeked for R's help and he helped me to delete the account to prevent any further troubles. Reli thanks lotsa R! Replicate urself and i'll definitely get myself one.=D And if i create a fb acct in future, m definitely gonna notify thru msgr. So the prank's at an end, and i hope no bzbody's gna discuss that with unjustified intention. And please do not think evil of my frenz who have created the account and started the scandals. It was just part if our class' life and the joyousness shall not be impacted. Not now. Not in future. And my apologies for u guys' effort to set up the fb acct and the "indecent profile pic" wic i reli appreciated a lot... I wld lyk to apologize to those who were added in tat fb acct of "mine" but didnt know it was pseudo. If u are one among them dunt blame my frenz for getting u into that mess too. I truthfully think that was a minute careless mistake by R.=)

Enuf for grumbles. Juz wish tat there wld be no misunderstanding. It wasnt me who created the accont and managed it, and it wasnt my classmates who accepted irrelevant victims as frenz intat acct, and i believe no one should be blamed for star tat prank. And i apologise if any party involved inthe prank was hurted by words or actions of anyone. If theres anything else that u wld lyk to noe or puzzles u badly, juz ask n we'll (as in my classmates and i, as i believe they are willing to) try our best to resolve it for you. Guesswork and hypothesis aren't appropriate to be applied in this situation.

Hope my inefficiency in language didn't hinder u from getting the exact msg m trying to convey. Have a nice day everyone.=)

Life is full of uncertainties. Always.  

Posted by fran

I was chatting with a good friend, late at night this time (it is now 1.21am according to my laptop) before i started writing this post. And it is rare for me to be still awake this late.

The conversation between us has intrigued me to cogitate on how much a person can change over time. Time, together with distance (not just physical), seem to have the power which is beyond one's imagination to touch on relationships. No matter how intimate it once was, time seems to be almighty in affecting a relationship. And it is grievous to realize that a person who you once knew dearly is now a total stranger to you.

Well, perhaps i should not blame time after all. Life is full of variables, always. So there is nothing in particular to be responsible for the changes in life, as that is how life is suppose to be primitively. Correct me if i am wrong, but i prefer to think of it this way as it brings an end to my wonder, which the continuation is very likely gonna be "why is human existing on earth and why am i here?" kind of philosophical questions which with my very limited knowledge and wisdom, i am never gonna arrive at a satisfying conclusion even granted an infinitely long period of time for me to cerebrate.

Another thing i loathe is misery of parting. Parting is never a delighting moment. Why hasn't natural selection exert pressure and cause its elimination? It is definitely not favourable, i presume? Hmm... Maybe that is a crucial part of nature to ensure evolution or survival of the fittest (erm, i think i start to sound not very sense already. Shouldn't be trying to be nocturnal especially when 9 o'clock is instinctively considered to be bedtime). All i want to say is, take care my friends. It is solacing just knowing you all are in this world, safe and sound.

p/s: I really hope i could at least call to bid you farewell but my cellphone is currently under repair.T_T Take care and keep in touch, okie??
Didn't expect our parting to be so soon...

Just to say hello=)

Finally, i have created my own blog, although i still do doubt how often i am going to update it. Hopefully it is not once in a blue moon and that shall be regarded as frequent enough, considering i am an IT cretin (i noe it sounds lyk restating a well-known fact to some=P). Don't really know what language i'll be using in my future posts, perhaps mixture of mandarin and english. I am not particularly good at expressing my thoughts precisely using appropriate words or phrases, so please bear with my language and maybe i can take this as a practice to improve my language efficiency and fluency in putting what's in my mind into words as well as to maintain, if not ameliorate my deteriorating mandarin...
