看了上一篇的日期才發現，已經兩多月沒有更新了。
這兩個多月究竟在幹嘛呢？
A. Doing assignments...既然當回了學生，就該do my best & make the most of it，所以我這次很認真的做每一份作業。奇怪的是，已經這麼努力了，怎麼好像沒什麼等量的正向反應，換句話說，沒什麼屁用 =. .=" 不禁令人納悶以前讀書怎麼讀的很輕鬆的樣子。
B. 因為住在Pub的樓上，一間什麼都沒有的房間，理所當然網路也是隔了好一陣子後才去買了個行動網卡才搞定。這個Vodafone的行動網卡真的有夠爛的，速度跟穩定性不佳已經評估範圍內，沒想到還有一個Content Control的限制，滿十八歲的會員還要自己主動連繫Vodafone公司的人才能移除。不過在這個網路發達的年代，一定有個網頁可以更改這些設定的，因此我上了Vodafone的網站瞄了一下。WHAT THE HECK...網頁找到了，可是竟然跟我說the function is not available!? 竟然這個功能不給用，那又幹嘛寫一個網頁呢？我點選了下方的Contact us，然後就被帶到一個空白的網頁……。看來還是得自己打電話給Vodafone了……。
C. 這兩個月也很用力的在思考工作的事，不論是part-time, full-time或是我自己想搞的藝術。也試著和學校的老師、朋友聊其中的一些構想，卻發現他人似乎無法理解，或許這些構想的複雜程度難以用三言兩語解釋清楚吧！找到想應徵全職的兩間公司，總有些質疑自己的才能派不派的上用場，這也是為什麼需要先鋪路了。總而言之，也只能繼續往前了，哦耶~
D. 再度提起了筆，寫寫、畫畫，提起吉他撥撥弦，綁上蹦帶揮揮拳，試著找回以往的熱忱，或發掘新的可能。在生活上也好、專業上也好，只是想讓雙眼的視野調到對焦明晰的光圈。
E. 這兩個月大多數時間都是一個人，在倫敦沒幾個朋友，因此社交機會少之又少。一個人可以想很多，也可以做很多；一個人可以很孤寂，也可以很知足。這些日子來因為作業、思考、計畫而忙碌，始終是自己一個人。一度以為自己會不適應這麼孤僻的生活，畢竟中間那些年有家人好友的陪伴。實際上，卻很習慣，或許因為從前就是這樣長大的，又或許滿腦子的理想與計畫讓我忘了孤獨。一方面也要感謝我的家人朋友們仍透過網路和我分享生活，以至我不感到被世界孤立。
F. 我終於知道自己要的是什麼了，在愛情的領域，而我也準備好要踏入下一個階段了，如果找的到隊友的話……。還是先搞理想比較實際。
G. 2010年開始了，這年我很難得的想到了一個希望。除此之外，和往常一樣，只有目標與祝福。so,
Happy New Year!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to CHRIS!!!...Though it's a bit late to say so (^v^")
First thing first, I am so sorry I was late, and the most guilty part is that I had Jessy with me and I still got lost!? (I normally do that alone... (>_<)
Secondly, GREAT GREAT THANKS to Mamak!! It was my first time to try Persian food, and I like it a lot!! And the yummy cake as well. You might wanna be a Creative Chef after the course, I would definitely be your loyal customer. 
Thirdly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to CHRIS AGAIN!!!
I don't know what the British culture is, but in Australia, the birthday boy could ask for aaaaaanything!
However, your wish/es will come true anyway. So no need to ask for too much, save some for next birthday (>v<)
Finally, thanks for everyone! Although I am not the host nor the birthday boy, I am glad to be part of this. Really appreciated it! (but sorry about the photos... not taken well...) 
That's it.

On the class last night. We had to work in a group of two to discuss the given questions. I got to paired up with one of my french teacher: Betty (or Julia? Are they twins?) However, both of us have got similar answers, which many people might have...昨天晚上的課堂中，我們必須分成兩人一組討論老師給的問題。我和我的其中一位法文小老師被分成同一組：貝蒂（或茱莉亞？她們是雙胞胎嗎？）總之，我們兩個的答案很相似，可能很多人都會有這樣的答案吧……
1. IF YOU WERE GIVEN £1,500,000, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
I've thought about this kind of possibilities before, especially I was in the army (most people do so when we need some encouragement in life, don't we?) Anyway, here is my answers...
- I would firstly give 50% to my dad. Secondly, divide the rest 50% and give my brother half of it.
- Then buy a boat & Aprillia, write my last will, and start my adventure as a vagrant so as to roam about the world.
- Moreover, RECORD THE ENTIRE PROCESS with the way I know (writing, sketching, taking photographs, filming... etc.)
壹、如果你獲得了1,500,000英鎊（台幣約八千萬），你會做些什麼？
我以前就有想過這種可能性了，特別是在當兵的期間（人們在需要激勵時總不免會這麼做嘛），我的答案是……
◎先給老爸一半，再把剩的分成兩半，再給老哥其中一半。
◎買一艘船和Aprillia，寫好遺囑後，開始我流浪者的冒險之旅，到世界各地去探險去！
◎此外還要將整個用我所知道的方式記錄下來（寫作、繪畫、靜動態攝影……等等）。
2. IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE YEAR TO LIVE (WITH GOOD HEALTH), WHAT WOULD YOU DO? (Note: no extra money for this question)
- I would still be doing things that I haven't done before, such as... umm... I can't think of any actually, I always go for what I want, so there's not many things left (unless I have much more money)... maybe having a normal and stable relationship? but I'm dying anyway, why bother making someone sad.
- Nevertheless, spend more time with family and friends, say good bye to everyone (if they can accept it.)
- Most importantly, try to discovering more about life and the meaning of being.
- RECORD THE LAST YEAR AS WELL, so other people could share the story.
貳、如果你只剩一年能活（健康的狀態），你會做些什麼？（註：這題沒有額外的財富）
◎我還是會繼續嘗試我沒做過的事，例如……嗯…還真想不到，我總是想到就去做了，所以剩沒什麼還沒做的（除非有更多的資本）……可能談個平凡又穩定的戀愛吧？可是都要死了，幹嘛還要多讓一個人難過？
◎不管怎麼說，還是要多花時間和家人、朋友相處，跟每個人道別（如果他們可以接受的話）。
◎最重要的是，試著探索更多有關生命或存在的意義。
◎記錄這最後一年，藉以與他人分享故事。
3. IF YOU ONLY HAVE ONE YEAR TO LIVE WITH FREE MONEY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
- Since I have unlimited money, I'll give my dad maybe £20,000,000,000 (that should be enough, huh? he doesn't spend much money anyway), and my brother £10,000,000,000, plus an EVO + Impreza + GTR + Ninja ZX-6R.
- Then build one of the best libraries in the world using my mom's name; a school or a charity foundation with my father's name.
- Let my cousins go abroad to study or do whatever they want, as long as they are experiencing their lives.
- Still buy myself a boat & dream bike, travel around the world with them, especially Bermuda Delta.
- Eat ice cream at northpole, where I can see the aurora.
- Fight in the ring.
- Bungy jumping, skydiving, hang gliding, and go down to the abyss, deepest part of the ocean.
- Steaking if I am in the mood.
- Get my tattoo done.
- Kiss a beautiful lady on the street (good idea by my french teacher.)
- Challenge and break my own record on a mountain or at some racing track every single day (with my Aprillia.)
- OH! And go to the most poor or undeveloped part of Africa, to share my knowledge and experiences, teaching english maybe.
- Once again, have everything recorded, so the story can be shared generation after generation. A demonstration of what you can do with life, let people know they actually have more choices.
參、如果你只剩一年可以活可是有數不盡的錢，你會做些什麼？
◎既然我有無限的錢，我會先給老爸1.1兆（應該夠了吧？他不太花錢的），然後給老哥5千5百億，外加EVO + impreza + GTR + Ninja ZX-6R。
◎然後以老媽的名字蓋一間世界數一數二好的圖書館；以老爸的名字成立一所學校或慈善機構。
◎資助親愛的老弟們出國去做任何他們想做的事，只要他們有認真體驗自己的人生就好。
◎還是買艘船和愛車給自己，用它們遊走世界，尤其要去百慕達三角洲。
◎在北極一邊看極光一邊吃冰淇淋。
◎上擂臺。
◎高空彈跳、跳傘、滑翔翼，再去海底最深處探險。
◎如果有心情的話就裸奔。
◎把我的刺青完成。
◎在街上親一個美麗的路人（法文小老師給的好建議）。
◎每天在同一個山道或賽道挑戰自己的記錄（和我的Aprillia一起）。
◎噢！還要去非洲最貧窮或落後的地區分享我的知識和經驗，教英文之類的吧。
◎再一次的，把一切記錄下來，所以這樣的故事能夠被永續分享下去，做為一個「人生可以怎麼過」的範例，讓人們了解自己有更多的選擇。
I can make a really long list for the 3rd question, since I only know a little bit about the world and myself, there're so many things I want to experience.
As Bess (the lecturer) said, she wanted us to daydream, which I am really good at XD
And I think this is a good method to find who you are and what you really want (I have done this before, and it did bring me closer to my goals.)
So, GIVE IT A TRY!!
既然我對這世界和自己只認識一點點，有太多太多的事物我想去體驗，因此我能為第三題寫一份超級長的清單。
就像蓓斯（這堂課的老師）說的，她要我們做白日夢，這也是我擅長的 XD
我也確實認為這是一個能夠幫助人們自我定位或了解自己到底想要什麼的方法（我以前就有做過了，此方法的確讓我離目標更近了）。
所以，請試試看吧！

夢見了媽。在家的頂樓，被花所環繞著。
Dreamt about mom. In the top floor back home, surrounded by flowers.
她不發一語，只是對我們溫柔地微笑著。
She didn't say a word, just smiling to us kindly.
夢中的她面容如此清晰，是那個一直守護家的媽，是病前的媽。
Her face seemed so clearly in the dream, it is the one whom always take care of our home, the mom before suffered from illness.
我們跪在她的身旁一面哭著一面叫著「媽媽」，此時的這麼一個稱呼蘊涵著子女的依賴。
We kneeled next to her, keep calling 'mom' while still crying. The expression 'mom' at this point contains the reliance from children.
彷彿回到孩提時期，醒來才發現落單一般。
As if back to the childhood, you woke up and just realized that you are left alone.
夢中的激動情緒讓我醒了過來。
The emotional feeling in dream brought me back to reality.
始終無法接受這樣的事實，一直催眠自己她只是去旅行。
I could never accept the truth, so I always hypnotize myself that she's gone to travel.
或許，這個夢是她來英國探望我吧？
Perhaps, she just came to UK to visit me in the dream.
給我摰愛的朋友們：
不論你正在努力實踐你的理想或持續怨天尤人的過日子，
別忘了不定時地拜訪你愛的人，儘管是家人、情人或朋友，
多看他們一眼，留意他們有什麼不同，
多花點時間和他們在一起，因為你永遠不會知道下一秒會發生什麼事。
成功的人生不見得是龐大的資產或偉大的夢想，維繫相愛的人之間的情誼才是不可或許的。
總有一天我們都會離開，沒人知曉死後的世界會是怎樣，
所以請在還搞的清楚狀況的時候享受這一切吧！
To my dearest friends,
Either you are working hard on achieveing your goals,
or continuing blame the rest of the world.
Don't forget to visit the ones you love from time to time,
no matter they are family, lover or friends.
Take a careful look at them,
see if there is any change on them;
spend some more time with them,
because you would never know what is going to happen after this moment.
A successful life is not necessary to be a great fortune or a grand aspiration,
what is essential is to maintain the relationship between yourself and the ones you love.
We all gonna leave some time,
no one knows what the world is going to be after death,
therefore, enjoy everything while you still have an idea about life.

Happy Birthday to Refane !!!Refane是我學校同科的同學，班上除了我外台灣人就只有她了，所以很給它親切的啦！
她完全發揮了台灣人的熱心的一面，邀請了全班的人（只是前一天晚上才講真的很趕）去參加她的Birthday Party。
不過同班同學裡有到場的人並不是很多，可能很多人還來不及得知有這個party吧？此外，每到週末London Underground一定會有幾個站或幾條線停開，沒有地鐵的倫敦可是很不方便的吶！
雖然我們科的同學來的人不多，不過Refane她本身的朋友就一堆了！也讓我跟Angie有幸認識更多的朋友，感恩的啦！

This is a fairly famous poem which was written years ago.
The author of this poem is still unknown.
However, there are still people whom do not know such a inspiring piece of work.
I though it might be a good idea to share it here.
這首頗有名氣的詩是在多年前被發掘的，其作者至今仍無法考究。
相信還是有許多人不知尚有這般具有啟發性的詩存在著，我想在這裡分享或許是個不錯的主意。
Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don't give up though the pace seems slow--
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out--
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit--
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
- Author unknown
不要放棄
當事情出了差錯，事情不時會出差錯，
當你一路掙扎，眼前卻似是無盡上坡，
當資金少，債台高，
你想笑，卻只能嘆息苦惱，
當「在乎」壓得你喘不過氣，
有必要就休息,但別放棄。
人生曲折，莫名其妙。
我們都曾聽人這麼說到，
許多失敗的背後，
要是堅持下去，結果可能就很好，
儘管步伐似乎很慢也別放棄，
因為離成功可能只差臨門一擊。
成功就是敗因出盡，
是疑雲縫中透出的一束淺銀。
你絕不知自己多麼接近成功，
看似如此遙遠，很可能近在眼前。
當受到重擊時，
戰鬥是你唯一堅持，
事情似乎糟到至極，
你尤其不能放棄。

"THE WORLD IS A PLAYGROUND..." inspired by film YES MAN (2008)
「世界是一個遊樂場……」啟發於電影YES MAN (2008)
As we grow up from a innocent child to a mature dult,
we tend to forget about the most simple feeling of pleasure.
隨著我們從一個天真無知的小孩長大成人，
我們漸漸地忘記了最單純的喜悅。
We have learnt complain, hesitate, regret, compare, ignore and even hate.
We have seen more and experienced more.
Some of the things life does may be heart-breaking.
What aspect and attitude you hold against the coming task is significant.
我們學會了抱怨、躊躇、後悔、比較、忽視，甚至憎恨。
我們已經看了更多，也經歷了更多。
有些人生的行徑總令人心碎。
關鍵在於你抱持什麼樣的觀點與心態來面對這眼前的課題。
It is easy to get hurt while having fun in a playground, neither physically or mentally.
You may take a break if you need to, but you shall come back to the playground and have more fun with the friend whom is so called LiFE.
在遊樂場玩耍的時候總是容易受傷，不論是身體上的或內心的。
如果需要休息就休息吧！但別忘了回到這個遊樂場來和這位叫做人生的朋友繼續玩耍。

The Newest Updates On My Picasa Photo Gallery: Malaysia to London (2009)
Picasa相簿的第一手更新資訊：Malaysia to London (2009)
隨著電子書的普及與環保意識的爬起，傳統印刷書籍是否會被取代？
從設計師的角度而言，電子書的製作相較於傳統書籍大大簡化許多，排除掉印刷層面的所有問題，包括與廠商的合作狀況、成本、不良品、運送以及版本上的編排限制等等，電子書只需要製作出單純的PDF, SWF或甚至JPEG檔案即可。此外，又能夠為環境保護盡一份心力，何樂而不為呢？
從讀者的角度而言，市面上有太多的書籍得已選擇，有時只是想在書局買本書就得花兩個小時的試閱挑選。網路與電子書的浪潮若能夠將現有市面上的書精品化、簡化，並提供更完善的分類系統，讓讀者能夠更有效率的取得自己所需要的資訊，那不是更好嗎？
有個地方住的感覺就是不一樣(上圖左邊那個門，請忽略旁邊那個蘿莉，她是我鄰居="=)。
天還沒完全黑，我就從淺草站坐回高円寺，趁我的肩膀開始靠腰（支撐）前，先回去好好休息一番晚上逛逛高円寺就好了！
(下面兩張就是我一晚2500円的房間了，在我的經驗中已經算是物超所值！)...
這部短篇愛情小說是issyMi跟我在2006年共同製作的，儘管寫作手法或許有些不純熟，但對我而言卻是相當有意義的一篇小說，我們曾經想要自己 publish這部作品，雖然現實總是與理想有段差距，但我們都是不甘妥協的人，更何況，也因為有差距，才更值得為理想而努力。經過她的同意後，我決定在這裡定期發表這部作品，只希望有人願意停下腳步來欣賞它。文體架構在每一篇章節中含括男女主角不同的觀點，藉此讀者能夠透過兩人不同的立場來看待同一件事物。
