Walking around the lake

The weather is not so flash today, but I still get up early and drive up to lake to meet with friends to walk around the lake.
It is good to meet friends there, and I bought a ticket for the music performance on 5/11. I will listen to their performance and clap for them.
Read some informationg about my introduction. Hopefully will be able to write them on Monday.
Tomorrow I have practice cello with the other people, have been a bit slack, but I will practice today.
Weekend is going smoothly, but the weather is just miserable.

The return of the T

Important announcement to make: the other two members of the T family are back! Dad and Fuzzy have came home. Life is back to normal, or as normal as it can be.
Dad brought a labtop with him so we can get broadband internet connection soon. It is still in negotiation right now, but we can get the connection up as soon as next month. Yay! Broadband! No more slow connection and slow downloads!
He also brought the Chinese novel Stone Story, the famous love story between Bao-Yu and Dei-Yu. ^_^ I will read it. I also have 06' diary and a grape mobile decoration. Very cute.
Fuzzy is now staying home to rest for the weekend. She is listening to music a lot. I will get a chance to talk to her in the weekend when I am not working. Her friends will probabaly want to visit her as well. However, this all depends on Fuzzy.
Dad also brought some high power LED torch and samples from Taiwan. He will contact some electronic shops here in New Zealand. These torches need some applications still. The LED is still in developmental stage right now. Great business opportunity.
Today I will meet my boss and talk about the experiment. Hopefully I will not need to do experiments anymore. Fingers crossed right now. Apart from that, this Sunday I have to practice in the full workshop for UYO. We have a spring concert coming up 16 October. It will be in Academy of Performing Arts, Waikato University, at 3 p.m. Featuring Bede Williams, the cool trumpeter.

Once upon a time there were three women

They will dictate your destiny. The first woman was killed by you, but not really dead. The second woman you will save, and she will die for you. The third woman will kill you, but she will save many people in the future. This is the prophecy in a Korean TV show that is very popular around Asia.
The first woman is the Queen. Her death is brought upon by the King by poisoning. The soldier leaves the King's city to escape detection after fourteen years of work. In this period of time, he is too afraid to meet any woman.
A young woman from the King's kitchen sees her colleague giving the Queen mother something that she cannot eat. She is taken away into the forest to be killed. However, her best friend saves her by giving her mung bean soup.
The soldier saves the woman beside the river. His fate catches up with him then. This woman follows him to the countryside and they both hide from the prosecution of the King.
A long happy time passes as the young King takes over from the old, however, he is very evil and prosecutes his officials and subjects. He catches the people who poisoned his mother and tortured them until they die.
A young girl, the main character in this program, tells the crowd that her father was a soldier in court. He is taken away and killed, fulfilling the prophecy about the three women in his life.
The kid is taken in by a strict country wife in King's city. Her god-father makes nutritious food for the King and takes wine into the palace.
She cannot forget what her mother told her before her death. She has to become the King's head chef in the palace. With other young girls, she is selected to become the new apprentice in the King's kitchen.
She tries to find her mother's cooking menu the first night she enters the palace. However, she drops King's night time snack so her mother's best friend, a deputy chef, has to cook ginger and lotus root from scratch and create a delicious snack for the King.
The king loves it. They are saved, but the kid has to take punishment from then on. She cannot sit with the other girls in class and she has to sweep the yard.
However, she learns from the teacher outside when she is doing all the cleaning work.
The teacher orders her to hold a copper bowl full of water until the exam finish for the other girls so she can take the exam. No one believes she can do it, but she passes the exam with flying colors.
She starts to wash dishes when the other girls are preparing the ingredients. She is sleeping with her mother's old friend, who is a great cook and a nice teacher. She wants the young girl to bring her water everyday.
The weather is not so well. It starts to rain muddy water that pollute the wells and river. Her mother taught her to boil the water to wash the dishes because otherwise the dirty water will contaminate the food. The kitchens for the prince and the Queen mother have contaminated food so they cannot be eaten. From then on, the deputy chefs look at this young girl with newfound love.
The girls have to compete with an older girl who is very good at cooking. They put the pine seed on the pine needle. This tests the girl's hand co-ordination and feeling. The older girl is the best, but she wants to let the heroine go home to see her family. She begs her caretaker to let her best friend, whose mother is sick, to go on leave from the palace.
This is a great TV program. I think I am hooked on as well. The kid is so cute and clever. The internal fight in the palace is also crazy and thrilling. Very well shot and set up TV program.
Dad is coming back to New Zealand this morning. I will go home to eat lunch with him today and say hello to him. Fuzzy is also coming home to live. I can't wait until mid-day! ^_^

Swimming

My friend texted me this morning saying that he will go swimming around eleven. I pack everything into my car, drive very fast home without breaking any traffic laws, grab my swimming togs, towels, bathing products, and run out of my house again. Whew...mum is not home so I have to lock the house up as well. Start up my car and text to say that I may be a little bit late.
By the time I get to the swimming pool car park, my dear friend is still standing beside his car looking conspicuous because he has lost his mobile somewhere in his car. ^_^ I call his phone twice so he can trace the sound to his lost phone. Good that he finds it among his musical instruments and notes.
We eventually get inside the swimming facility. He hasn't eaten anything in the morning so ordered a hot chip from the shop. We change. I swim first, he eats.
I can't believe how bad I am in free style. It must be because I forgot to bring my cap so my hair keeps getting into the way! >_< Anyway, my breaststroke is okay. Butterfly is just crappy and after twenty five meters I give up. Swim the rest of the way in breaststroke.
My friend said he has to teach students flute on Friday, the day when he doesn't have classes in university. I used to demonstrate on Friday as well. He said that his friends know me in the class. Interesting. I have taught so many of them that I don't know all their names. I have also taken care of some 1st years and some 2nd years. It really depends on who he knows.
Say goodbye to him. Wash up at home. Mum and Fuzzy come home. Fuzzy's new hairstyle is cool! I like it. She will come home to live tomorrow. So happy. Dad is also coming back from Taiwan tomorrow morning. ^_^ Wish the weather is not so bad tomorrow, but it looks like that it will rain again.
It's so good to spend time with friend. At least I can spend my time with someone interesting, and the fact that he is cute is just a bonus. Haha. Anyway, he doesn't know what he is doing anyway...he is just undecided.

Sleep from 7 to 7

I can't believe how tired I was last night! Too much surfing on the internet and typing the thesis, my eyes were so tired! I went to gym yesterday as well to ride bike and use the cross trainer.
Fuzzy is coming home to stay for a while. She may come home to live on Thursday. Got my fingers crossed for that. She is definitely better than before.
The rain is going away (finally), right now the sun is shining hard on the grass. ^_^ Wish the nice weather will hold longer.
Carrying out the catching-up experiments right now. I will run two parts today, and run another tomorrow. This time I will dilute the bacteria to sensible dilutions so I can get some results. Last time I didn't get any results! So frustrated. I don't want to waste any more time geting no results.
I can't wait until dad comes back. He is bringing a digital camera and a new labtop with him from Taiwan. Yay! The typhoon is also going away from Taiwan so his airplane should be able to fly out with no trouble.
Let's just pray that everything will go smoothly and on Thursday everything will be good.

Dark Angel swimming

I can't believe that I have lost the one opportunity to go swimming with Dark Angel! Anyway, it was just not meant to be. I was sleeping when he texted me yesterday and called on my mobile. Mum didn't hear the phone ring, either. Thus the chance is missed and who knows when we will meet again? Oh, misery. On the lighter note, I may meet him in university today when I finish gym. Why should I feel sad about yesterday? I should look forward and go upward!
Fuzzy is getting better and better everyday. She may come home when dad comes back this week on Thursday. Just have to focus on getting better.
It is still raining. Everyone just wants to go back to sleep because it is Monday morning. ^_^ But we have to work.
