iPod, digital camera and computer
I am thinking about getting the above things sometime this year. Looking at my bank account now to see whether I can afford to get them or not.
I will keep some money so I can get them!
I will keep some money so I can get them!
It's mine
I remember when I was young, Fuzzy used to grab my toys out of my hand and play with them. That's when I learned you have to share your toys with other people, and I am lucky that I only have one sister to share with. I have grown up a lot since then, but there are still certain things in life I don't feel comfortable sharing with the others, including my World of Warcraft account.
I don't own many material things, such as cars and digital camera. However, I have two mobile phones that I bought myself. I have three wardrobe of clothes, which include about 80% of clothes that I bought for myself, and 20% as gifts from my relatives. I have shoes that I bought myself, too. I have handbags and backpacks that I got from shops in town. These are a few of my favourite things, as the woman said in Sound of Music.
I also own a 16 piece utensil set at work, Patrick, who is Spongebob's companion, also belong to me. Although the car I drive belong to my dad, but the keychain Mickey Mouse in his Fantasia costume belongs to me. I bought it in Disneyland in America when I went over there.
I also own books from university, and novels that I have accumulated through the years. I can't live without books. I love reading and owning them. I like the feeling of books in my hand, I enjoy their content, and I also enjoy the stories they tell.
I have some craft projects that I bought from Spotlight and other shops. I have made two dolls already, and some other projects are ongoing. I have other dolls that mum and my aunts gave me. I love my dolls.
Lastly, I have some jewellery and make-up that I have picked out myself, too. I don't have a lot of necklaces, but I have enough. I like butterfly, so I have some butterfly necklaces and belts, too.
These things are mine. I don't have much, but I enjoy my things.

Mount and Level 35 human mage
I've handed in a few quests in Stormwind city recently, having completed them a while back in various locations such as Hillsbrad, Arathi, and Duskwallow Marsh. I've been training in Shimmering Flats last week, but Horde high level Shaman and Hunter had been targeting me, a lone Alliance human mage, so I've moved away from there. I've done Kravel's parts there, killed turtles, scorpions, basilisks, and collected broke car parts and the animal's skin and poisons. I had a great time there except being killed by the rival faction.
I moved to Stranglethorn Vale, and there were even more Horde in the harbour city. I can teleport to Ironforge and Stormwind now, both cities offer Mage trainings, auction houses, inns, and shops that sell food for cooking and materials for tailoring. I've chosen tailoring as my profession, and cooking as my secondary profession. I will probably choose herbalism when I get to higher level, but right now I am focusing on getting to level 40.
According to the WoW official site, I am like this:
Mages wield the elements of fire, frost, and the arcane to destroy or neutralize their enemies. They are a robed class that excels at dealing massive damage from afar, casting elemental bolts at a single target, or raining destruction down upon their enemies in a wide area of effect. Mages can also augment their allies' spell-casting powers, summon food or drink to restore their friends, and even travel across the world in an instant by opening arcane portals to distant lands.
When seeking someone to introduce monsters to a world of pain, the Mage is a good choice. With their elemental and arcane attacks, it's a safe bet something they can do won't be resisted by your chosen enemy. Damage is the name of the Mage game, and they do it well. Their arsenal includes some powerful crowd control spells, also, giving them the ability to keep hordes at bay -- in fact, these abilities can be used on the most common creatures in the game, thus making them extremely valuable for this purpose.
I am a fire mage. Yodah suggested to me that I train that way because this will take shorter time for me to kill stuff. I agreed with him and started my training from there. I haven't made a lot of money yet, but I will be able to when I get to higher level, doing more quests, getting better equipment to sell in the auction house and farming.
Alliance people have been very helpful, and I made some joke about reporting on the trade channel. People are always joking about reporting one another to Blizzard because they have done something bad, and I asked them to report a Horde appearance, about bloodshed and people dying. True to the spirit, they did that and annoyed other people on trade a lot. Haha. That was fun.
I like Arathi Basin battleground, although I am crap at fighting the others. I don't really understand how to do it yet, but I am sure I will get better later. It's all about real experience on the battleground, and dying in WoW is so common that we know life is cheap.
I can drink higher level water now, but I haven't bought higher level food yet. I shall do that.
Considering about joining other guilds, but that may take a long time since other guilds join raids. I don't have so much time raiding, maybe I will consider that after I get to level 70. That may be fun.

Love is this
My friends are getting married, or have been married for a while. Richard told me that I wrote the articles below about love and attraction long time ago, and he learned about me.
What is love? I think I've described it using my limited words. I am so glad that I've found it, and I will take care of it carefully like my favourite flower. I will water it and enjoy the magnificent colour of the flower. When winter comes, I will not forget to put it into the greenhouse. I will wait for it to grow in spring, give it fertilizer, and watch it grow everyday.
I dream of a day when I will wake up with Richard, and we are sleeping on the same bed. We will have breakfast together, talking about what we are going to do today, and watching news before we leave the house. We may have kids, need to pack lunchboxes, and have a dog and a cat. I will be doing something that I love to do, for example, work in my own lab or for the government, or working on my own craft projects. I wish that we will have a spacious house with a nice view, close to the sea. We can build sand castle on the beach, swim in the ocean and have picnics there. I want to plant roses, chrysanthemum, daisies, fuchsia, dahlia, and other flowers in my garden. I want to grow orange, grapefruit, feijoi, plum, apple, lemon, pear, strawberry, gooseberry, boysenberry, and blueberry in my garden. I want to plant a herb garden so I can use herbs to cook food.
Everyday we will cook dinner that smells nice and taste delicious after we come home from work. We will enjoy the meal in the dining room, and we can play online games together, or have parties with our friends. We can read books and discuss what we want to do in the future. Our life will be filled with happiness and I don't want to spend a minute apart from Richard.
In our spare time, we can play the piano and cello, sing and enjoy the music together. We can ride Richard's motorcycle down the country road and take in the scenery.
Love is about sacrifices, too. I will give up my free time for my children so I can read to them, play with them, bathe them, and kiss them goodnight. Why do I want to do that? It's because I love them, and I enjoy my childhood. I want to give them happiness, care, and a loving home. I want to be there for them when they are cold, hot, and sick. I want to see them crawling up the stairs and turning the corner and disappear. I want to worry about them when they go to school for the first time, and I want to see them learn about life. When they are confused and young, I want to listen to them and still be cool, not someone who is an adult and tell them not to do things just because I say so. I want to be at their graduations, weddings, and I want them to be a person who they want to be, and do what they want to do with their life.
One day, I will have white hair and won't be able to see much with my failing eyes. I won't be able to walk fast anymore. I wish Richard is still with me, we will sit by the fire. I will remember the day when we met. We danced together to Sweet Home Alabama, and I know then from the deepest of my heart, this is the man who I want to spend my life with.

Admiration of the opposite sex
Opposite attracts. People are like magnets, you have a certain feeling about the others, no matter good or bad. Your childhood sweetheart may turn out to be a big jerk. Your long time friend may become your future partner. Who knows what's around the corner?
People who fall in or out of love know the feeling. You can't live without them. You have to tell them everything even though it's just about a new handbag that you've brought. The other will listen to you as if the handbag is Prada and must compare price with you. He will be there when you are shopping, swiping the Visa card without breaking a sweat. Why? Because he loves you. He doesn't care if you are stupid. He doesn't care if you are smart. As long as you love him in return, he will do anything for you. You will cook for him no matter how late he comes home. Fill up the tub with hot water. You will clean his house. You will drive him to places. You will ask him to do impossible things like getting a rock from the moon. You will bring up his kids. That's what love is all about.
Before Valentine's Day, let's review the present status of the relationship between men and women around the world. At least the part of the world where I live in.
Most of my friends have a partner or a boy/girlfriend. They are happy with their relationship, if they are not, they are breaking up with them. The people who are single are reasonably happy, but some are trying to find the one in the crowd. Congratulation to those who found their love ones, good on you. Work hard on it. Relationship can't be taken for granted. If you've sow the seed, you have got to water it so it will grow up and flower in the spring and summer. You have to pull out the weeds around the flower so it will get all the nutrients in the ground. You have to get rid of the dead plant in the winter so you can sow the seed again. Love is a lot like a garden, it requires tender loving care.
A lot of people don't take care of their relationships. That's why you break up. Don't expect the other half to wait around for you forever, that's not gonna happen.
So have I got any advice for those people who are trying to find a partner? Yes, I have. Don't take my word if you know how to do it because you know the answer in the deepest of your heart.
1. Find someone who is easy to talk to. I think communication is the most important thing in the relationship. Try to find someone who is easy to talk to. Try to find someone who is truthful. Find someone who will tell you what he/she did and not hide anything. It will be easier to get to know this person, and more you know about them, the more you will like/dislike them.
2. Find someone who is similar/disimilar to you. Yes, this is what happens. Sometimes you want to find a person who is exactly like you, but you may get too bored with this person and long for someone who is different. That's why foreign lovers are in such high demand. Someone who is from a different place. Someone who is from a different background. Someone exotic. However, you may find them so exotic and dispicable that you will want to go back to someone who is more normal. Having the same interest often helps. Watching movies. Reading books. Riding. Swimming. Drawing. You name it, you will find someone out there who likes doing what you do.
3. Find a reliable person. Being reliable may make a person boring, but reliability is very important throughout the life. Someone who is never on time is not reliable. Someone who does not have a job is not reliable. Someone who doesn't have a bank account with money in it is not reliable. Someone who make empty promises is not reliable. Reliability brings stability, and stability brings a good life. Of course some people doesn't want to stay in one place all the time, but a reliable person will go with you to the end of the world because they will always be there for you no matter what. They won't throw stones into the well when you are at the bottom, they will pull you up. They won't let you get lost in the woods and will always check if you are walking too slowly. It's a matter of life and death, so find someone who is reliable.
4. Find a nice looking person. Yes, I mean it. It's important. I don't mean those people who have movie star looks. A person who looks straight and trustworthy. A person who has confidence and stand out in a crowd. A person who believe in themselves. All these qualities make you look good. Tidy and clean. Also, it makes your life easier to look at nice looking person. (I am so shallow.)
5. Find someone who you can work with. That's important because you don't want to fight all the time when you are renovating your kitchen. You don't want someone to pick on you when you have spent three hours in the kitchen making a soup. You don't want someone who doesn't mow the lawn or cut the tree. You don't want someone who will not hand over their money so you guys can buy a house togehter. No. You don't want that kind of person who is selfish and arrogant. You want someone who is willing to share the glory with you when you succeed. You want someone who will cry with you when you are sad, not someone who is cold and distant.
I can't think of any good qualities you can find, so I will end this article with a piece of advice that I have been given by my sister:
"Stop looking for the person who you love. They will come and find you."
Exactly. When you stop looking for love, they will find you.

Love is...
Perhaps love is as tender as the felt blanket that is filled with the picture of HelloKitty. Maybe love is as tough as the beef that mum cooked for five hours. Who knows what love will do around the corner? It may turn into a flower on the side of the road. It may turn into a bunch of daisy beside the hospital bed. It may turn into rain on a thristy land.
Love can certainly turn into a smile, a touch, or even an explaination of which key opens which door on the key chain. It can be a joke that's been told in a noodle shop about an exploding turnip cake. It can be a back glance in the swimming pool. It can be cooking for your sister who is too tired to do anything after a hard day's work.
Love can be silently listening to a boring story. Love can be singing when someone is sad. Love can be read like a poem, but it can not be read like a newspaper because it does not require pages of detail explanations. It may be simple sometimes, but it may also be too complicated so no one understands.
Love can be pushing a pram when someone else is too tired. The hardest way to love is to calm a baby down when its crying for no reason. Dying for your country comes in on the close second. Love, sadly, can also be dying with the one you love. Love can be reading the notebook to your loved ones when they can no longer remember their past. Love can be eating a candle-lit dinner with a stranger who knows when to talk or when to listen. Love can be tucked away nicely in an old leather-bound book, stuck on the school project, inside a small scrapbook, in a thick police file, or on a hand-made card. It can be a tear that's falling from a loving mother or it can be a strong hand of a loving father. It can also be the friendship that does not fade throughout the years. When your hair is of a different colour, when you can't see properly and start to admit to it, when your feet will no longer carry you across the garden easily, and when you feel young inside but look remarkably old outside, maybe you will know the true shape of love, but then again, you may not.
I hope you find love because it may be in a pen, in a letter, in a book, in a newspaper, in a cup of tea, on a chair, on top of the television, inside a fishing bowl, outside the window, or on your hand. It can be anywhere, anything, anyone. I hope you find it.

In future we trust
It's Fuzzy's off day today so she's going to meet her friend, coming back from Australia. Richard and I made plans for the future yesterday. I think he's not very confident about learning enough Chinese. I guess when you are doing something new and unfamiliar, you can't predict when you will be proficient in the new skill bcause that's the unknown. We also talked about investment and our family goals. I hope that we will be able to make more passive income.
My experiment didn't work yesterday so my supervisor will talk with me today to discuss what to do next. I may be repeating the last few steps in order to get a better DNA product. I received new restriction enzymes today, but I haven't got one of them delivered to me so I am still waiting for that. I have to tidy up the cold room today, too.
Weather is great again, we haven't had any rain for a while now. Our garden is quite dry and all the plants need watering. South Island farmers are facing draught problem and are drying off their stock for now. They are waiting for rain to come down from heaven so their livestock will be able to eat grass and grow again.
Helen Clark is going to give a speech about her policy for this year. It is 2008 and election year so both parties will rustle up some interesting policies for us to see, whether they do them or not is a whole other matter. Labour has been quite good, though. I am not sure about John Key yet.
I have started to write a bit more about The Plague. I will try to write some more when I have time.
My experiment didn't work yesterday so my supervisor will talk with me today to discuss what to do next. I may be repeating the last few steps in order to get a better DNA product.

My best friends
I am going to send Jo a present for her birthday. I will find something to send to Eve, Alice, Shu-ting and Summer in Taiwan as well. I have to ask Shu-Ting and Summer for their address at home so I can send them the presents.
I've known Alice since first grade, and we see each other when we walk home everyday in Dragon Street. She moved away when we were in Stonedoor Primary, and we kept in touch since then. She went to university to become a teacher, and I am a research associate in AgResearch now. Wow! I can't believe that we have known each other for so long. We grew up writing to each other about what's happening to us. She talked about her friends, her love of comic books and drawings, and Japanese songs and dolls. I told her how I learn English and live my life here in New Zealand.
I met Summer and Shu-ting in intermediate school, both of them distinctive person with cool personalities. Summer is definitely an artist through and through, a poet, a writer, and a passionate girl. She loves reading. We used to write poems together. Shu-ting is a great artist that makes beautiful cards and draw pretty pictures and take fantastic pictures. Summer is married now, and Shu-ting is working and flatting with her friends.
I met Jo in university here. She's quiet and hard-working, smart and kind. I like writing to her and hear news from Scotland and Europe. She's having a great time there in Dundee and her boyfriend, Christian, sounds like an adventurous soul like her. I hope they are enjoying their life there.
I don't know how I am going to pull off going to three parties this Saturday, but I am sure I will be able to manage that. I have a party next weekend. Looking forward to that.
