I have found one of my long lost friend. She is studying in university in fourth year right now. So cool! I finally found her, though she dropped off the face of Earth long ago.
It's great to hear from her, but I should talk to her later. We still have a long life ahead of us. She said that maybe she will try to come to study in New Zealand. True, great choice. We are a good bunch.
Better go and shop now. See you later.

From Europe with love
Mad woman. Mad woman. Mad woman alert.
I am not supposed to stare so much at cute guys now, but I can't help it. He is so cute! He has green eyes and dark hair. He is so pretty. Please forgive me, God. Please forgive me for staring at the creature you created that's near perfection.
It's only natural that I will stare, I suppose. He is pretty, he is smart, and he has got a foreign accent. Ah, and he is friendly and young. Feel like that I have committed a crime now. I think I am just going to burn in hell. The hell with it, I say. Why can't I just look and stand innocently in a corner?
Today I have been analysing the results from yesterday. Good results, but since working solution ran out, my results were crap. I don't think I actually measured any ozone at all using Indigo solution yesterday. What?!? Oh, no. But the ORP is working so ozone is definitely going into solution. With the distraction of the handsome boy, I went off with him to Ruakura library because my supervisor was not there.
Anyway, drop back to Earth, there's a lot of data to analyse. Supervisor finally helped me, and it seems to me that my workmate also needed help. We have been rescued by the scientist, and now are trying to analyse the data that we got this week. Anyway, I better do the same thing for the previous data now.
This afternoon we will eat the group lunch together to celebrate Christmas and the New Year. Hopefully I will be able to see the big boss, who is retiring next year. Good luck to him. He is a good fellow.
I better get some work done before skiving off to lunch. ^_^

Man interrupted
Dad is mad again. I don't know why he gets mad sometimes. He is angry for no reason.
Mum said that he wanted us to tidy up the living room. He is a Christmas grinch. He wants to tear down our Christmas tree. Fuzzyslowmo didn't know that he would be angry, so she said that there's no present for him under the tree (he does not celebrate the bloody Christmas anyway), and said that all the presents are for her friends. Big oops for Fuzzy, and now we have to be careful what we say in front of the angry lion again.
I thought that Gemini is supposed to be unpredictable, but he is truly weird. Why can't he just enjoy what we have and be contend with that? Always wanting more. So hard to please. What's up with him? He already had a holiday away from us: we can't escape from him. Maybe like mum said, he will go out and buy milk one day and never come back. That's harsh, but that's the way it is.
We are worried about you, dad. Why can't you enjoy life and be happy? It's nearly Christmas, and I even put money into mum's account. What's there to worry about? We make money and we have plenty of it. Why be angry at small things such as Christmas trees and home being untidy? Such minor detail should not enter a man's mind. It's not a man's job to tidy the house anyway.
Dad went to a party last night, came back happy. Hopefully he will continually be happy throughout the holiday so we don't need to be afraid that maybe he will be angry. He is like a time bomb.

The greatest results so far
I think my experiment had a break through. Why haven't anyone (me, me, me!) thought about using a stirrer to stir the ozone into the solution? It's so easy.
Now I am analyzing the group of results.

The Grudge
The Grudge is a real scary movie. I hate watching scary movies, especially this one that's good. The color and the atmosphere are beautiful, and the sound effects are done to the tee. I love the way Japanese directors do this kind of new ghost/haunted house movies because they are much deeper than the Hollywood horror.
There are not a lot of special effects, and when the director applies it, it's not over the top. The ghost mother appears in the tenth floor corridor is perhaps the scariest moment in the movie. The dark lines that appear out of nowhere are truly nightmarish. The young child and its hybrid with the black cat is facinating. I like it, but I hate to watch this visual extravagaza because I understand it all too well.
Ju-yuan, the title, means the grudge a ghost holds when it was killed or murdered out of passion. The story goes like this. A young Japanese woman fell in love with her English professor, and her husband found out her infatuation. She was murdered in the bathroom by drowning. Her son was also abused and murdered. The fury was held by this house, and all the people who has been to the house died either mysteriously, or disappeared without any trace.
The police officer's friends died investigating this case. The American family, the Williams, died in this house after seeing the young green kid. The wife died first, then the husband died. His sister was tracked down in work, then the mother tried to kill her. The security guard in her work building got killed there. She went home, and her dead brother came calling. She got killed by the wife.
Yoko got killed in the beginning of the movie, she took care of the William's mother, Emma. She was deemed crazy, and live in the house for a long time alone. Yoko saw the woman in the attic and died there. The detectives saw a jaw from Yoko. It was apparently torn from her face.
Enters Karen the caretaker/exchange student. Sarah Michelle Geller is certainly grown up and mature, with the much older Jason Behr, Doug.
Karen takes care of Emma in the haunted house, but on that day, she found the kid, Toshio, and the mother in Emma's room. The mother was spooked to death on her bed.
Karen is scared. She has been sent to the hospital to recover, but she can't stand to be alone there. The ghost is out and always following her.
She searches for the truth on the internet. Three years ago, a Japanese family killed one another in a murderous rage. The professor, played by Bill Pullman, witness the killing and threw himself out of his apartment. This part was played out in the beginning of the movie.
Karen goes to the house after the detective. The detective brings two bottles of petrol. The kid pretended to drown himself in the bathtub.

Saturday and Sunday - Christmas activities
We walked on the bank of Waikato River on Saturday, on the way back we visited Waikato Museum for free. It was a great experience. We saw a lot of art work, and also some scientific/dairy exhibition. I found out that twin cows can substitute the data for 20~30 cows in the museum. That's very interesting and I will put this into my thesis introduction.
The river looks very low at the moment, but it rained quite a lot this summer. Maybe it's because we are also using more electricity. It's a great walkway and we enjoyed the walk immensely.
I went to Tic's engagement party on Saturday evening.
Mum and dad are on the Christmas parade so we all got up early to prepare. However, we were still late when the time comes. A lot of people gathered for this event, perhaps the single largest event of the year. Children came on their prams, with their parents; mothers dragged their walking children; couples came; old folks came; the clowns were there. I liked the parade, it was very well done this year. Dad and mum were in the Wedding procession: very funny. The music was good, too.
Overall I believe that this had been organised quite well. I will definitely have a good Christmas after this.
Got a phone call last night from purple skirt. She has a new e-mail address. Interesting. I will add her to my MSN list.

Tic's Engagement party
Went to Tic's engagement party. Very large family so a lot of people came for her engagement party, there weren't a lot of friends present.
Tic is very friendly to us, and very kind. She is a very good friend of mine. I like her and wish that her engaged life will be happier than before, whice undoubtly is already happening. Her fiance looks very nice and I am sure that they love each other.
It's a great party! I love the food. I thought it would have been really stressful, but it's stressful for my friend and her future husband, not stressful to us. We just went and gave her presents and eat. We talked amongst ourselves and caught up with our lifes.
It's so nice to see people who I don't usually see. I got a present from J. J is still busy writing her thesis like all the other friends that I have. They are finishing thesis! She is going to Scotland around September. Wish that everyone will finish their thesis on time.
