It was so windy today, but still full of Spring breeze and sunshine. I took out my #7 club and went to driving range just 45 minutes before sunset (about 1 hour before the strong storm warning, too).
It's been about 4 months since my last golf swing and therefore I was wondering if my entry level skill becomes rusty but it turned out to be quite ok. It's an exercise that I want to continuously practice since it's a self challenge, just like YOGA. You are the only competitor to yourself (of course to some others, not quite), and hearing the "ping" sound along with a beautiful long trajectory makes people feel so wonderful.
I, Feel, Great!!

Happy Birthday, Vincent Van Gogh
Van Gogh is my favorite artist, his passion and saturated colorful paintings deeply touched me, especially I am kind of person who favors color so much (from my pen bag everybody can no doubt tell that). My favorite painting of his is the "Starry Night")
Though I don't have an opportunity to visit France and places where he drew the paintings yet, I can image his passion came out not only from those pretty towns but also his inner impulsive energy driven by the nature of sign of Aries (I am an Aries, too). Aries should be always look into the bright side; however, his spiritual focus on thoughts and broad imagination were probably what made him suffered from the mysticism problem (also what made him a master beyond others).
Anyways, I don't have the problem (at least, yet). Today is his birthday, so I share this great song with all my blog readers.
VINCENT
By Don Mclean
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul...
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
In colors on the snowy linen land.
Now I understand
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they did not know how -
Perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
Now I understand
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they did not know how --
Perhaps they'll listen now.
For they could not love you
But still, your love was true
And when no hope was left inside
On that starry, starry night
You took your life as lovers often do --
But I could've told you, Vincent:
This world was never meant
For one as beautiful as you.
Starry, Starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Now I think I know
What you tried to say, to me
And how you suffered for your sanity
And how you tried to set them free:
They would not listen; they're not listening still --
Perhaps they never will.

Terrible B2B Class
Not until I have to take midterm exam do I realize how merely I understand this class. The professor gave out too many materials and the verbose technical terms and acronyms are way beyond my head. Plus, there's no point about this IT class to me. I was easily distracted in the class, and I struggled to understand the slides in his lectures. Moreover, I found few connections between this class and real B2B world.
I am not saying this class is not good, I am saying that I am not a IT person. There were some parts in the class intrigued me, and it's once a week class, pretty relaxing. What I don't agree was just the professor gave an exam right after spring break, and my brain cannot stuff anything heavy like this...

餓得很快
不知道是不是船上吃太多的關係,我們回來後一下子居然不能習慣,沒幾個小時就會餓,真的是恐怖喔~~
早 上吃完豐盛的養生餐後,過兩個小時 就餓了要吃午餐,然後四點又餓了開始吃晚餐,沒想到九點Tania說有咖哩,我就又吃了一大碗,外加辣雞翅數隻和一顆橘子一塊千層糖衣蛋糕...這樣的吃 法雖然和船上比起來有如小巫見大巫,但一想到減肥不但前功盡棄,還復胖好幾公斤,就有罪惡感哩!
而且不是只有我這樣喔,Tania 和 Frank都是一樣的,所以我們就一起吃個不停,昨晚吃完一碗飯後三個人都還各解決兩大碗泡菜豆腐湯和橘子,我還又吃了一碗草莓冰淇淋.如果把食物堆起來,恐怕很多人看到食慾都沒了吧??
問我值不值得??當然值得, 值得喔!

Beautiful Beautiful Spring is Coming to Town!
Great weather today!!
I enjoyed the sunshine and warm moist air in the afternoon, counting days I can begin to play golf. When passing by the swim pool in our apartment complex, I saw people were cleaning it...soon I can have BBQ by the outdoor pool and enjoy the pleasant days!!
If it were not because of the chill cold weather, I wouldn't have appreciated the Spring so much in this small town. Even seeing the trees burst to green sprouts made me so grateful. Really can't wait to see the whole town blossoming of pink flowers!!

Adventure in Carribean
I had never imagined my spring break turned out to be the most exciting adventure in my lifetime, and it was so incredible that I could never forget it...
The plan of spring break started more than 3 months ago when I decided to go for a 7-day cruise in beautiful Carribean and Virgin Islands, and ended up with a series of unfortune events followed by the most wonderful cruise experience and a tired but content body.
All of my dietary and workout programs started from this semester was for this trip because I wanted to look good on board, and to be able to eat more without worrying too much about my weight. But how dareful I was to forget bringing my I-20 with me, the most important document to prove my identity of a student in the States. From the moment I was rejected on board the ship and left alone in the pier looking helplessly the ship setting out, my spring break had been completed changed, from the exciting expectation of luxurious enjoyemnt to the hopeless grief in addition to endless money spent to make up my mistake.
Sounds nothing more than another story of careless person destroying a planned trip, and it happens all the time, huh? Then you are refused to read my story...cuz you have no sympathy at all!!!!
OK, I just came back from the airport and you might have known that finally I still made the trip and was on board, spending 4 days happily on the cruise. But I am too tired to write my story now....please wait and then you can laugh at me by the time reading my navigator's logbook ~

Urbana Free Library
我在香檳最喜歡去的地方,除了超級市場以外就是圖書館了 (Law library排名第一, Urbana Free Library排第二).
法圖是用來唸書的地方,市立圖書館就是純娛樂了. 免費的DVD和CD任我借,親切的服務和友善的網站讓我一再留連.雖然每每我在圖書館待的時間都不會超過15分鐘,可是我喜歡極了這裡.
之 所以不會在圖書館待很久的原因,是因為我可以先在網站上預約想要看的電影DVD,如果Urbana圖書館的存貨已經外借,他們會想辦法幫我和其他圖書館調 貨,然後用email通知我去取貨.方便的程度讓我感動不已 (免費的耶!!) 所以一年來我看了不下一百部電影,多半都是這裡來的.
今天去了一趟圖書館才發現整個大樓剛剛整修完畢,又多了很多新的設施,偌大的空間也很舒適,重點是以前從不知道雜誌也可以外借.今天我就借到了二月份剛下架的時尚雜誌 Glamour還有兩本暢銷書,真是開心哪!!
看看自己身邊吧!很多免費的寶藏很美好的 (Ex.每周三下午2~4點去Sam's Club,有好多試吃品喔!!)

排行程
我最開心的事情終於成真了!!
在好說歹說半騙半哄外加裝可憐,搞了半年之後,爸媽終於忍痛放下家中的兩隻狗,要來參加我的畢業典禮了...看來我一定要親自打電話去奶奶家道謝,順帶請他們好好照顧寶貝狗,不然我可真的會變成"人不如狗"了...
於 是我開始了自己一套非常精密的排行程活動. 說到排行程,我是把它當作一個大project來做的.去年暑假規劃的一個月大火車行程,就讓很多人嘖嘖稱奇,簡直是把Excel的功能發揮到極至. 本來嘛!! Excel是我吃飯的工具,當然要努力運用啊! 我把所有的班機時刻,轉機資訊,開車路程,觀光網站以及所有景點安排和預算全都規劃在我的檔案裡面. 需要的時候開一個檔案就包含了所有的資訊, 修改起來也非常方便. (不過這一招是來自於Tania的idea,去年要不是有她,我們的東岸行程不可能那麼順利的)
而且我對於跟Excel相關的事物都非常投入,總可以花個好多時間一做再做,什麼其他的事情都會丟著不管 (除了肚子餓以外), 研究精神看來只有做菜的時候才能相比.
還有一個多月,希望一切順利囉!!

I am just obsessed
我最近一直在想專心一意和沉迷的分界點到底在哪裡....
吃東西的時候,想到等等跑步要跑好久,累的不得了,就跟自己說油的炸的別吃了 吧! 那麼,晚餐也別吃了,不然肚子上的油又要變厚了...好吧好吧!雖然那麼想睡覺,可是早起可以去運動,還是掙扎的從溫暖的被窩中爬出來好了. 一天量八次體重,總以為哪一次會有奇蹟出現,那個磅秤會顯示出我真正重量...朋友打電話來找我去喝酒,不行,超過六點不能吃東西...朋友悻悻然的說, 哪有人晚上六點以前喝啤酒的啊?
不然還要我怎麼辦?我一直處於立志又破戒的狀態,每天都一直叨叨唸自己別吃別吃.可是肚子一餓就去弄個包子(還燙到手起水泡,笨!),不然就是人家邀吃飯,炸排骨就不管三七二十一給他用力吃下去.我這種人喔!就像皇上陳罡說的,不會瘦啦!
也難怪,我以為自己可認真了,可卻一點體重也沒降,雖然每個人看到我都安慰我說瘦了瘦了,那堅毅的磅秤就是屹立不搖啊!(什麼?說它不準??怎麼可能,那是Tanita的耶!!)
所以說有的人減肥減到走火入魔,我不過只是把減肥放在嘴上唸唸罷了...但我一定是太沉迷了,不夠專心一意,所以沒辦法把那念力傳到大腦吧!!

到底在"書"什麼?
深夜12點半,再不去睡覺明早就起不來"甩油"了!
突然皇上四正. 愛新覺羅 (罡) 下旨要 日四又 格格(曼=我) 改名,因為大家都'書'了
我莫名其妙的開了MSN一看,怪怪!!香檳台灣人全都瘋了,大家都書了起來:
書光 是皇上 (我以為他中文很好 原來不是如此)
書賢 是Tom (他的中文原名)
書包 是沛涵 (因為Tom都說他車旁邊坐的漂亮妹妹是書包)
書僮 是 Emily (歸書賢管的都叫書僮)
哈書 是詹姆士 (他姓許 Hsu,美國教授不會發音每次都發成哈書)
書家 是家雁 (當然是家)
曼曼書 是我 (再不去睡會更慢瘦,輸的可慘了)
不書 是Larsen (誰叫他不服皇旨,不肯跟著"書",本來皇上賜名"書多",念在他貢獻許多"良"書的 ex. FHM...)
書途同歸 是Angela (應該是被大家"書"昏了)
九書齊名 是皇上最後能召喚到的幾名老臣,你說大家是不是雍正王朝都看瘋了?!
P.S.請原諒小鎮裡沒有夜間娛樂的無聊把戲,只能換換MSN暱稱耍耍掌權的威風

CC's Blossoming of Dreams
人有的時候會吸收一些和自己磁場不太一樣的的能量,然後把自己變的更強壯.不是抵抗力好不好的問題,而是不同的磁場反而特別吸引人吧!所謂異性相吸的原理是什麼我搞不太清楚,但我知道我的朋友常常和我有天壤之別,而讓我尊敬的很!
好久沒有聯絡的CC,在我眼裡是神奇的人物,寫詩作畫每每讓我驚嘆不已,好好的美國少奶奶不當,要回台灣咖啡廳打工,搞什麼文化行銷的高層次聽不懂的工作.我看只有我做菜的程度可以跟他的氣質相比.只是我的菜滿是油煙味,而她是走不食人間煙火的仙氣路線.
搞 個網站寫下我的心得感想,原來是她的提議,可是我老跟她說沒時間啊! 現在好不容易有了時間,寫的挺開心,一到她的新聞站台後就發現自己幼稚園程度的網站真是可笑的很. 可是我只要一到她的站台,心靈層次立刻增加,跟吃了密技丸戰鬥力增強一百倍一樣厲害. 難怪每次我都會在她的網站逗留到深夜.
如果想要提升自己的氣質,可以到CC的網站參觀一下,就知道精緻飲食文化和大牌檔的菜有什麼不同啦!
Blossoming of Dreams
所謂不能拿蘋果和香蕉比,也正如王文華說的,他寫的東西只能吸引 "同儕",暢銷書大賣的原因是因為目標市場跟故事書裡的人物背景相近. 我也是...

International Food Night 國際美食節
Great! My whole week effort was gone in one single dinner...
International Food Night is the biggest event International Business Society (IBS) has in MBA program. As a previous Executive Vice President and performer in the BottomLine Concert (The acapella chord we have in MBA), I must present and see how well the new IBS board does this year.
This event is to invite all the international students (including American too) to cook special cuisines representing their countries and share the culture, costume with other students in the program. Last year I was the coordinator of the event so I was too busy to cook a dish. This year we have so many Taiwanese 1st year students so I don't have opportunity to cook either. Last time I was unable to try any of the dish, yet this year I am on diet and decided not to eat dinner before the Carribean cruise. But I failed eventually...
After completed the performance, my mentee Trevor gave me the coupons right before I left, so I decided to try just 5 dishes, everything a tiny little bit. But it turned out everything was great, and people were so generous to give me a good portion of everything. See how much I ate:
3 Thai dishes and Thai tea,
4 Korean dishes, (including BBQ, spicy chicken, Kimba - Korean sushi, and Korean rice cake)
5 Taiwanese dishes, (Spicy Tofu, chicken stir fried, beef stew, fried sticky rice, and rice noodle)
Japanese read bean cake and 5-ingredient rice,
German sausage,
Jorden chicken rice,
Ukrainian twisted dessert
3 Turkish dishes (all good but I don't know the name)
Uruguayan rissole (meat pie)
Argentina tea
2 Indonesian dishes (beef stew and stew beef, huh??) and 2 desserts (layer cake and curry pie),
So how can I lose weight??
Ask which one I like most?? Hmm...maybe the Indonesian layer cake cuz it tasted better than what I had before!!
There was still lots food I didn't have opportunity to try, gourmet from Mexico, United States, Peru, Venezuela, Italy, and China. But I couldn't eat anything more so I fled away before the event ended. It seems I have no choice but go to the cruise with a big big belly....
想 一想一個晚上吃那麼多種不同的食物真是可怕耶...不過可以在一個晚上就 吃到環球美食也真是值得的了.更何況,這些食物都是由各個國家的人親手製作,真正道地的喔!!! 台灣人爭氣的很,不但出菜種類眾多,而且還提供了各式旅遊資訊,現場揮毫寫毛筆送給大家中文名字當紀念,大排長龍的景象也是其他國家少見的呢!
國 際美食節最難的部分其實是集結那麼多國家的同學在忙碌的課業之餘煮菜,以及製作代表各國的旅遊簡介. 為了不讓自己的國家丟臉,大家都非常盡力的使出渾身解數,讓我感動的很哪!! 雖然我是拿了那麼多種不同的菜,但每一種我都只有吃一口,其他的就全都堆到男同學們的盤子裡啦!!

No Comment
I admit, I've been productive on this blog for the past few weeks except this week.
That was because, I had a midterm, I want to exercise more, I need to prepare for my Spring break cruising trip, and most important of all, No comment appears on my website!!
It means, nobody is reading this blah blah long and boring stuff. So why bother to write and post it everyday? Though I enjoy writing and reading my life like this, and maintaining this website inspires my thoughts a lot...nobody wants to give me a comment for two weeks!!
OK! OK! That's fine...I will still keep the articles rolling..at long as I don't bore you...enjoy being a silent reader!!
