The Three Musketeers

Read The Three Musketeers but hasn't finish reading it. It is a good story about D'Artanian. I have made a list of books that I want to read from the library on my diary. Some of them include Tolstoy's War and Peace, North and South, David Copperfield, and various famous works. I will have a nice time reading!
Sent M his invitation to the ball yesterday and wondering whether he checks his mailbox or not. Maybe I will text him this weekend to find out.
Shopped after work with mum and Fuzzy. Got a green shirt and is wearing it right now. It is really cool. Fuzzy went to the clinic to see the doctor for a follow-up. She ordered the Harry Potter book. Dad was saying that the book was only a ploy to make money and is full of evil. Haha, he doesn't know that we love Harry Potter books and is going to read it when it comes out! Fuzzy will get the book after work and we will do another Harry Potter readingthon this weekend to find out what happens in the new book. We have been anticipating the story to continue from where it left off. Voldemort came back to live and the fellowship had to defeat the dark force together. The Ministry of Magic was attacked by Death Eaters and a lot of things got destroyed. Harry went to live with his uncle and aunt again because they are his blood relatives and that's the only thing that's protecting him from the harm of evil. Is Harry Potter going to die? Is he going to safe the day again? I hope that this book will be as fascinating as the last.
M is busy. I wonder why. Maybe he just wants to avoid me. Whatever. I don't seem to care anymore.
Pet is growing happily. I think I will safe money to buy a new pet from the adoption shelter.
Everything is going smoothly except my contaminated experiment. Feeling kind of depressed about that, but have plan for next week to combat the problem. I am sure that I will be able to succeed.

Grey's Anatomy and Bound Feet and Western Suit

I have read Bound Feet and Western Suit. It is a great book. We all love Mr. She's poems. He studied in Britain and America, in the famous university Cambridge. He made friends with famous novelists, poets, thinkers, and always wanted to get out of an arranged marriage. He and his wife had two sons, one of them died when he was a baby. He had ignored the love of his wife and her life. She wanted to study, but he never gave her a chance. After the divorce, she learned English and came back to China to become the vice chairperson of Shanghai Women Bank. Her determination, her knowledge in Eastern and Western cultures made her a strong woman. She has never forgotten her parent's advice about marriage. She became the god-daughter of her ex-husband's parents. She took care of her son. She wrote to her son before remarrying to ask for his permission. Feminists movement just after the old empire fell to the present time is portrayed in this book, and the problems women face had never truly changed. Family, love and education shape all humans, but women in China had not been given the equal opportunity as men. "Women without education is her virtue." is an old Chinese saying, but they have ignored the fact that without education, she cannot educate her sons and daughters properly. Without proper education, she does not know right from wrong. Without education, she cannot communicate with other people effectively in a foreign country and is isolated from her husband and his friends. Women nowadays face similar dilema. Is having a family more important than having a career? Who should we choose as our future mate? What to do when someone makes fun of you because you are different? It is not her fault that Mr. She wanted a divorce, but inevitably she was blamed. Can women be happy without marriage and children? It is society's responsibility, and the responsibility of us to make life easier on both men and women. This book has given me an insight into a woman's life, who was not afraid to change and is always wanting to learn more about the ever changing world.
Grey's Anatomy is a great drama that has started last night. Meredith Grey has spent a night with Derek Shepard. She sent him on his way when she drives into Seatle Grace Hospital to start her first shift as a resident surgeon. Christina, Isabel and George are on the same team under "Nazi", a doctor who has five rules. In this 48 hr, George has performed his first appendictomy and became 007 with licence to kill. Isabel has examined 47 rectums and couldn't eat lunch. She didn't know how to make a central line and always has questions to ask. Christina wanted to get some actions in the surgery, but Meredith thought up what the beauty queen's problem was so she got the chance to do a brain surgery. The beauty queen had a brain aneurysm in her brain.
It is a great drama. Apart from the fact that all the characters look cute and young, medical drama always holds the appeal because it is about people. It is about the extreme emotion that you feel in the hospital, now the fact that the doctors are new also adds the stress factor. They don't know what they have to do, and are afraid to ask questions. They know what they have to do, but are too stressed to do it properly. You learn about it in the medical school, but it is never the same in the real life situation. That's what make Grey's Anatomy great, and I am sure that is why people are hooked on to this new drama.
Desperate Housewives will come soon. I am looking forward to watching it.
The results from the experiment today is bad because they have all been contaminated. I will have to grow bacteria this afternoon before I go home so tomorrow I will be able to repeat everything. Maybe I should do that next week so I can count the plates straight away. This week I have got two sets of good results so I am not too worried right now. Hopefully I will get more good results next week.
Sent M the invitation to A Night Out with the Stars. I cut out a music score and stick it at the front of the card, and put it in a large envelope that will not fit into his mailbox. >_< With some struggle I have finally put it firmly into his mailbox and quickly retreat back to my car and came up to university. It's all good. Fingers crossed that he will say yes.

A Dream

Two days ago I had this dream. Lately I have been waking up at night thinking about M. I open my eyes to see if it is morning yet, but most of the time the window looks very dark so I go back to sleep.
My dream is short. M has written down some words on a piece of paper. At the bottom of the page, he says that he really likes a girl called Yu. I can't believe what he wrote down, but as my eye moves to the bottom of the page, the dream ended. What does this dream mean? I am afraid of my dream because all of my dreams come true. A scene from the dream. A place in the dream. I see them not long after I had that dream. I am afraid that M likes this girl. I am terrified.
I only hope that this time my dream will not come true. I can only wait and hope now. I am so frustrated about the whole thing.
I was very sad last night because didn't get his text. I lie in the cold room and couldn't sleep. I pray to God that he will reply. The good thing is that he did at midnight. I guess God hears my prayer and he cares for me. My life depends on it.
I can't believe that I care so much about little things now. His text is like my lifeline. I am in so deep. Who can help me? No one. Only I can help myself.
I miss you, M. Where are you? What are you doing?

Love will never die

If you believe in love, then you will know that love will never die. Love is your destiny. Love makes the world go around. Piper and Leo's love is strong, but the Elders want Leo to be an Elder and forget about the love between him and Piper. They wipe his memory, but the memory floods back to his mind the first instant he forgets about them. He was a doctor in WWII. He is a healer. He is one of the good guys. He wears a wedding band. He has a wife somewhere out there.
Drake is dying tonight after a year of borrowed time from a demon. That demon is Cole. Cole loves Phoebe, but he became the Source of all evil and controlled the underworld. He lives in Limbo permanently now, unable to move on to Hell or Heaven, unable to go anywhere. Piper gets into Limbo when she is poisoned by the Thong Demon. Cole teaches her to go back to her body and die so Leo will be able to hear her call. The call is from her heart and Leo hears her as if she is right beside him.
He loses his power as an Elder and becomes a mortal. Wyatt heals his mother. Leo can't believe that he loses his power as an Elder and a whitelighter, but his life is never better. He loves the normal life that he will lead now with Piper.
Drake dies and meets Cole. He is grateful to Cole that he has the opportunity to love Phoebe. Cole is happy for Phoebe that someone out there is loving her, is caring for her, and he believes that apart from him, she will find true love. It is his love for her that will carry on, that will make her life better and happier.
I hope I can say the same thing for many people and for myself. I hope that one day I will meet that man, that elusive man who will love me like there is no tomorrow. He will care for me. I hope that I will be able to love him back and care for him, too.
I have been working on the new methods for the experiment whole day yesterday. It is working as I look at the plates today. I am very happy about the results but the control have too many bacteria to count so I will have to repeat the gas exposure to culture one. Citrate experiment is working fine. I have to analyze the results and present the result in a sensible form.
I hope that M is not too busy. He said in his text that he will be doing stuff all the time this week! Poor him. All work and no play.
Maybe he is trying to avoid me? But he was very keen last week.
Come to think of it, I don't particularly want to meet him anyway because I am busy as well. I have a lot of things to do this week. Just want to know that he is okay. I guess that's what friends do. Care for each other. I just care about him a little bit more than others. I wish that is not too annoy and enough.

Die another day

James Bond never cease to amaze me with his great toy car and impossible surfing skills. It is great entertainment and I don't care what other people say about 007. I like it.
The whole afternoon consist of a meeting. In the end I was really bored and boss has forgotten about me again. Good that supervisor remembered me so we talked for a while about an important step. I am carrying out the experiment today and hopefully tomorrow and the day after I will get the results.
Am planing to do a lot of things but hardly get anything done. I will make some invitation for 30 July Ball in AgResearch to my friends and send them out via snail mail. I want to do this because it has been a long time since I last designed anything and it will be good to get my mind off things.
Another thing to do is to scan some pictures so I can put them on the internet and send one graduation photo to my friend. She said that she would like to have that picture. I will go up to university to scan the photos soon.
Cousin got married this Saturday. I have not hear anything from her yet, but she must be very busy to contact anyone. I will ask her for photos later, much later, maybe next month when everything settles down and life is back to normal.
I miss M so much. It hurts. I miss him when I am doing the experiment. I miss him when I am filling up empty pipette tip boxes. I hate this feeling. Why doesn't he contact me?
Fuzzy got a new mobile. Yay! I can text her and annoy her now. Maybe that will get my mind off this thing.
Sloppy. Yes I am getting really sloppy, but I am working really hard to finish this experiment. I don't think I am sloppy.
Let me make a nice pretty card for M and J. ^_^ That will make my day better.

That song reminds me of you

Fairy Tale is a great song by a Chinese singer. It reminds me of you. I was trying to fill up the petrol tank when a Chinese guy come up and opens his car door and the song streams out. I miss you so much!
Saturday is relatively uneventful comparing to previous weeks. The whole family leave the wet and miserable home for an afternoon walk in Taitua Arborium. It is a great place with a nice forest and beautiful landscape. Too bad that the maple leaves have already fallen, otherwise I am sure that we will be able to see the red and gold leaves decorating the green grass. There is a circle of rock on the ground that looks conspicuously like the meeting place of witches and wizards. In the middle of the pine forest, there is a circle of wooden chairs that resemble the scene in The Fellowship of the Ring in LOTR. Excercise your imagination, maybe you will see a hobbit or two coming and going into the forest running for their life there. It is just breath taking.
Fuzzy is sick after that so we can't go out on Sunday. Wants to watch The Sisterhood of Travelling pants but dad forbids us to go. So bored so texted M while he is sleeping. Miss him a lot, maybe will text him later today? I don't know what he is doing but had a bad dream that he wrote that he likes someone else. >_< That's what I am afraid of, but I can't very well ask him who he likes because I am afraid to go there. What if the answer is yes that he likes someone else? Will I be strong enough to take that answer and still live like before? No. I don't think I am that strong so I don't really want to ask him that question. But I hate not knowing.
Watched Signs. Funny movie. Very different to War of the Worlds.
