    Move to my own place

    Now I offcially moved to my little one person studio over 2 weeks la. It is small, but OK for me, kind like 麻雀虽小,五脏俱全, even has a bath tub which is good, can have a bubble bath! Besides the moving thing, I don't thing there is anything new I can be pround to update. I think I am kind of numb, go towork at day, come back to sleep at night. God, this country is broing! And the wearther is quite shit in the moment, it is July now but still quite chilling and rainning or cloudly most of the time, what is wrong in here.  God, I need to get a life!

    I am a working duck!

    真的是好久好久没有更新我的space啦, 有点汗颜, hehehe 不过最近的确是有一些好事情可以记录以下 n_n, 就是小鸭子我, 在英国找到工作啦!!还是我喜欢的工作 graphic designer, 算是一件可喜可贺的事情。 现在上班3个礼拜了,感觉还不错,公司同事对我还蛮友好的。公司之前每怎么请过外国人,特别是亚洲人,他们对我的英文还瞒包容的,呵呵。我觉得我自己英文还蛮烂的,他们居然说我的英文好,哈哈,意外。 anyway,我还有很多方面要改进,好多术语我都不太会,加油加油! 对我来说这次是个难得的机会,要好好努力工作,恩!
    但是比较可惜的是八月底没法回家了,要等到圣诞节假期了。好怀念家人和美味食物哦!

    昨天终于交了我的毕业论文了,现在算是完全完成了我的MA 学业了。可以安心工作了,我要赚钱然后可以请妈妈过来英国玩 n_n....

    应someone 要求,更新一下!hehhe

    好久没有更新blog了. 不知道是太忙还是太懒(多数是太懒!kekeke),没有心思去更新了.
     
    现在在UK 的生活一切如常,紧张的学习中,平淡地度过.可能已经习惯了一个人生活,发现其实也还蛮舒服的.唯一不解的是楼下的鬼子每天都那么闲,老爱出去clubing.没办法谁叫人家是first year,轻松的没话说. 还是继续自己的literature review....
     
    现在唯一最期待的是"下雪 SNOWING". 我想去iceskating!!! 然后唱着: edelweiss,edelweiss.....

    Check the color and know your personality

     Sometimes the color you like can tell what kind of person you like. Maybe you do not totally believe that, but sometime it is telling you the truth.
     
    Below is some common thing studied from the psychology of colors, just for your fun. Try it no hurt.
     
    Please list following 8 colors into the proper order you like from the most to the least: Red, Yellow, Green, Violet, Brown, Grey, Blue, Black.
    After then, check your color list with below comment.
     
    A Red
     
    Red  represents passion and energy. Red in the first position means you are inpulsive, sexy and have a will to win. You are a good leader. You want to axpand your horizones and live life to the fill. Red in the seventh or eighth position means your desire for life and thirst for adventure have become less.
     
    B Yellow
     
    Yellow represents happiness and relaxation. Anyone who chooses yellow in second, third or fourth place is a positive, optimistic person who always looks to the future--never backwords. You life easy, and problems simply do not exist for you. Free form worry, you lead a carefree life; but this does not mean that you are lazy. You can be extremely hard-working, although not consistently. Yellow in first place means that
    you are ambitious and eager to please. When yellow is in the latter part of the spectrum you have had your hopes and dreams dashed and you feel isolated and disappointed, often becoming defensive and withdrawn.
     
    C Green
     
    Green represents firmness and resistance to change. In first place, you are persistent, possive and quite selfish. You are a high-achiever and an accumulator of "things"--like a penthouse, a BMW, a Rolex, a holiday flat, a compact-disc player. You want to be recognised and need to impress but worry about the prospect of failure. If green is later choice, your ego has been bruised and you have been humbled by the resistance to your progress. Consequently you can be highly critical, sarcastic and stubborn.
     
    D Violet
     
    A mixture of red and blue, violet represents a conflict between impulsiveness and calm sensitivity, dominance and submissiveness. The person who prefers violet wants to find a mystical, magical relationship. Both mentally and physically immature, you are stuck in a dream world of wishful thinking and fantasy. Often violet is chosen by adolescents who still see the world through fairy-tale eyes. When violet appears in the latter part of the sequence, it indicates that the person choosing it is more mature and has outgrown the "fantasy" vision of life, confornting harsh reality head-on.
     
    E Brown
     
    Brown is the colour of physical well-being and is an indicator of how healthy you think you are. If you put brown in fourth or fifth place you are not very concerned about your health and body. This means that you are probably in good shape. Those worried about illness tend to put brown earlier in their sequence. If you choose brown as your favourite colour, you are restless and insecure. If brown is in eighth place, you don't care enough for your body: you may not be as healthy as you think. Placing brown early also indicates the importance of a secure environment: refugees often pick brown first.
     
    F Grey
     
    Grey is a neutral and represents a point between two contrsting and conflicting motivations. Grey in the firts position means that you want to shut yourself off from everything and remain uncommitted, so that you cna swing with option and emotins. You hate joining anything with "group" connotations and are an observer rather than a doer. Those who choose grey in the eighth position seek to join in with everything, eager and enthusiastic. Such peaple will try absolutely everything in their efforts to achieve their goals.
     
    G Blue
     
    Blue represents calmness and loyalty. A person who favours blue is sensitive and easily hurt. You never panic and are in total control of your life and  content with the way it is going. You desire to lead an uncomplicated and worry-free life and are prepared to sacrifice certain goals in order to achieve this. You need a stable relationship without conflict. Perhaps, as a side-effect of contentment, you tend to put on weight. The later blue appears in the sequence, the more unstisfied you are and the more you feel the to break from the ties that retrict you. But you probably aren't unfeeling enough to walk out on a family or job; instead, you will suffer in silence.
     
    H Black
     
    Black is the negation of colour and means "No". Anyone who chooses it in the first position (which is rare) is in revolt against their fate. Chosen second, it means you are prepared to give up everything else to achieve what you wnat. It is  normally put in seventh or eighth place, representing control of one's desting and a balanced outlook. If yellow precedes black in the first two positions, then a change is on the way.

    One-day trip to the lake district

      The story was happen on Tuesday 29th Aug, it's a few days ago.
     
      I think the lake district is a nice place. That day we had fun, but not very fun, 'couse the time was really short, we just had 4 hours to go out. Compared the time we spent on the bus with the one we went out, and it such a short time. 4 hours is not enough to visit there. Even then, I think I still have fun! Especially the World of Beatrix Potter, it was a wonderfull place (even it cost me 6 pounds. ). I finally could see the Petter Rabbit, the famouse rabbite of the world. Actually I know that rabbite, but I don't know how famouse is it. All cartoon statues in there were excellent,  very cute and vivid, like in a real fairy field! Lovely! Please see my pictures!
     
      And there were a lot of birds and swans near the bank of the lake, as well as a lot of brids' dung!  Except that it is really nice place!
     
      O! And I went to a small hill, on the top there was a hotel, they had a great view on the top place. I think it will be wonderful if you can live in the hill top hotel, and I guess the price also nice! hahaha

    Two-day trip to Edinburgh

         这其实是上礼拜的事情了,现在是来补写我的游记!
         故事是发生在2006年8月19日到20日。我们一行四人懵懵懂懂的晃过三小时的火车来到了Edinburgh。不知道是兴奋还是对旅程的期待,总觉的Edinburgh给人一种不一样的感觉。保持完好的旧式火车站,连行人天桥也保持着原来木质,虽然没有现代的扶手电梯和升降电梯,每个也没有抱怨这些历史带来的不变。还有那传统的办公大楼,外部给人的感觉就好像还在英国的工业时代。
         按照那个苏格兰guy的指点,我们走出了火车站,走向prince street。还没走出五米,就听到一阵一阵悠扬的风笛声。虽然来之前就知道这里有艺术节,没想到会这么快就感受到。在scotland见到的第一个街头艺人是个穿着传统服侍吹风笛的老伯伯。在他身后的garden 耸立着the Scott monument。它是可以爬上去参观的,花费3磅。爬上就觉得不停的在转圈圈,到了顶端鸟瞰整城市感觉还不错;下来的走着那旋转的楼梯时还蛮危险的。可能是上上下下的人太多了,有个小女孩就是这样被吓得不敢在爬了。
     
        沿路走向youth hostle,发现沿路都有street artist 在表演。这时我才意识到edinburgh,整个城市都在festival中,整个城市都在沸腾!走到那里都有音乐声,那里都有欢呼。主题各异的artist吸引了不同地方来的游客,当然包括我们。好奇的瞩望,都快忘了旅途的疲惫。
     
        走过hostel门前的那片草地,草地上插满了高尔夫球场才会有的旗子,问了以后才知道,scotland是高尔夫球运动的发源地,这些公园草地都是免费给市民们练习的。原来在这,高尔夫球是这么平民化的运动。
     
       最让人影响深刻的是那条Royal mail(皇家一英里),这条街就是艺术节的主要舞台。那里有来自全球的艺术表演者,在那我们还看到了一个来在杭州的女孩。他乡听到熟悉的音乐感觉特别奇妙。带着哀伤气质的二胡声飘荡在下着细雨的苏格兰天空,触动了我心里的一角,那是没能和亲爱的人一起感受自己所感受的一切。欢乐过后总会带着点未如意的悲伤,可能也是这样让我记住了这个城市给我的感觉。
     
      回来一个星期了,不停的有人问我那里好玩吗?值得去玩吗?答案:好玩,因为整个城市都在欢度着festival,成个城市都在沸腾;值得去,最好是在艺术节期间去,还有带上你最亲爱的人,那就真的没有遗憾了。

    Day trip to Liverpool 06-08-27

    今天终于有机会到Liverpool了,终于到了那个亲爱的牛牛待过的城市了!
     
    我们的coach沿着市区的道路行驶,第一感觉它和Leeds没什么差别,都是英国工业革命时兴的城市。我们在那个类似leeds的Townhall的建筑前下了车,忘了记那building叫什么名字了。但是有在它前面照了不少照片。到liverpool是12点多,但街上都没几个人。好清净哦,我们走在city centre, 一点都感觉不到这是city centre。为了找那有outdoor concert 的Mathew street,问了一个在路边咖啡厅的店员,她说有concert的地方人比较多,现在很多人还没出来。哈哈,鬼子都不知道跑那去了。
     
    由于我们也不会路,一路乱走一问人,也就误打误撞的走到了那Mathew street。随便一提,英国的老人家都比较友好,有时看我们在路上彷徨无助看地图时都会上前问问我们是不是迷路了,哈哈,上次在edinburgh也遇到这样的热心老人家。原来它就在海边,所以风好大哦,比leeds的风大多了。所以每张照片头发都乱飞。Sophia说我们是披头散发四!哈哈哈 生平第一次看到这么热闹的outdoor concert,心情还蛮兴奋的!好不容易穿过人群走到了比较中间的位置,但是由于时间的关系我们只在那停留了一个小时多小时吧。接着我们继续我们的游览了。沿着海港走,看到了一架挺像海盗船的旧式帆船。还进去了那个Maritime Museum, 他们那里有关于英国海事的展览,最好玩的是seafarers的gay life,哈哈。原来以前(好像现在也还有),那些水手因为长时间的待在没女人的船上,很容易产生同性之恋。后来慢慢merchantship 演变成一些gay body和特殊场所。在以前同性恋是不受欢迎的,甚至有些家庭也无法理想他们孩子,知道1999年英国有什么政策还是法律的什么的(具体忘了,哈哈)承认他们。他们还有男伴女装的选美比赛。感觉好好玩哦,英国的博物馆好像什么都可以乱展一通!
     
     倒是那个Beatles story 的展览馆有点无聊啦,还有6磅,还有一大堆人在排队。还好没进去!我们照我们继续我们的目标,去找那个cathedral。找它还蛮容易的,照着它那耸立的方向走就好。沿途我们还路过的China town。 Liverpool的China town比leeds那个大多了,牌坊也大!哈哈。既然来了当然要在它前面照照像!一个日本女孩还问我要不要进去china supermarket看看,哈哈。
     
    我们接着就转道去了Liverpool Cathedral!原来在车上远远看着不觉得它有这么大,感觉还有点丑!呵呵,不好意思了,有眼不识泰山。走近了,发现这Cathedral好雄伟哦!后来看资料才知道它有圣保罗教堂两倍之巨,是全欧最大的安立甘教堂。走进去后更是给立面的神圣和美丽吓到了。这是我看过最大的教堂,那了edinburgh 什么什么cathedral相比之下真是差多了。哈哈! 还有他们里面的员工还是神职人员的衣服好有型哦!是一件很大的,像风衣一样的衣服,好大好长,那些鬼子又高,就像哈里波特里魔法老师穿的衣服。可惜没能上他们的tower,那里要九月才开放。
     
    去完教堂就已经五点多了,没时间在去找liverpool university,虽然在来的路上在车上看到,但是在地图上找了半天没找到它在那.奇怪。只好返回集合的地点。
     
    我是在回去前才在那类似townhall的的building照相的。那广场前面的灯柱下有奇怪的鱼,海豚不像海豚,不知道是什么,我觉得蛮丑的,哈哈。快要6点了,街上的人越来越多了,但店铺都关门了,pub和bar却都是人,看到一群teenage girls走过那building前,看她们挺可爱的,就叫她们拍张照。像不到这些小孩还蛮合作的。呵呵。虽然不认识,但觉得挺好玩的。
     
    刚车是没感到liverpool和leeds有什么差别,都很像。走了一圈以后发现,海滨城市果然不一样,好多海鸟在天上飞,风好大!还有liverpool的球队利害多了,这边都没什么人装leeds联队的衣服(可能他们太差了,呵呵)。Liverpool到处都看到红色黄色的球员,还有谢拉特的海报到处都是。还有那只奇怪的海鸟,叫“利物鸟”的,大街小巷,甚至垃圾桶上都是它的身影!哈哈,看来liverpool的人好喜欢它哦,还给它起名“利物鸟”。
     
    Liverpool is a pool of life!这是名人说的话!
     
    虽然一天的旅程时间短暂,这个牛牛待的城市真的真的很值得去参观!特别是因为你而变得更加不一样!你知道我是在说你的!

    The first few days I live in LEEDS 1

    Have been to LEEDS for a week. Everything is going well. The first few days, I missed my Mum and Niuniu and everything of China so much. I even went to buy a ticket to fly back to China! Everything here is different from China. I miss the delicious Chinese food. I do dislike cheese, white bread. But the white bread is quite cheap in here, and it is a good thing to be a quick and convenient lunch. I will sick of white bread, if I have to eat it over a year.
     
    Maybe I should more think about the positive side of study abroad. I think it really means grow-up. When I studed in Shenzhen, I don't  need to worry about how to carry my stuff to go back home, because my Mum would help me settle down everything, and I also had My lovely Niuniu. everything seemed so easy when I live in China. But in Britian, I think it's another situation. I an a foreigner in here, nothing I am familiar. I need to learn a lot of things, not only the English and academic knowledge, but also need to know how to live here, how to get along with other peaple, and how to be a master shopping-girl. (The price here is really really huge, I cannot stop calculating, how much it is in RMB.)
     
    Now I only buy the hard sale  product, like "Buy 1 get 1 free". I need to save my money!
     
    OK I am so tired, I want go to bed la.

    To My Favorite Niuniu

    Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,so that when we finally meet the person,we will know how to be grateful,and I believe you are my Mr.Right!

    转载: 一些巧合

    一些巧合

    自然界的一些巧合似乎真的能用来解释什么,比如下面这个:

    ————————————————————————————————————————————

    一个很有意义的计算题

    如果令 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z 分别等于百分之1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 
    那么:

            Hard work (努力工作) 
        H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% 

        Knowledge(知识) 
        K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% 

        Love(爱情) 
        L+O+V+E12+15+22+5 = 54% 

        Luck(好运) 
        L+U+C+K12+21+3+11 = 47% 

        (这些我们通常认为重要的东西往往并不是最重要的) 
        什么能使得生活变得圆满? 

        是Money(金钱)吗? ... 
        不! M+O+N+E+Y = 13+15+14+5+25 = 72% 

        是Leadership(领导能力)吗? ... 
         不! L+E+A+D+E+R+S+H+I+P = 12+5+1+4+5+18+19+9+16 = 89% 

        那么,什么能使生活变成100%的圆满呢? 
        每个问题都有其解决之道,只要你把目光放得远一点! 

        ATTITUDE(心态) 
        A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% 
        我们对待工作、生活的态度能够使我们的生活达到100%的圆满!

    伤痛之后

    知道拒签以后第一个想法是:真希望那个vo肥得连门都进不了!(她已经肥得比两条猪加起来还恐怖,脖子跟西瓜差不多了。)愤怒之后是无尽的伤心。我想比我跟难受的就是牛牛了。一切美好计划都给打乱,一年多的期待就这样毁灭了。本来可以相见的欢喜化为泡影。我何尝不是难以接受呢。但痛定之后还是得继续我的梦想道路啊。
    在接受了这一事实后,我开始反省自己。是我的不上心令的我的签证资料有漏洞,是我的不上心令得我的签证过程困难重重,是我的不上心令的牛牛难过······
    为了梦想,我决定推迟我的出国留学计划一年,好好利用这一年时间改善我的缺点,利用这一年积累一些基础的工作经验。
    我不可以让他再担心了。我知道我现在再怎么忏悔也难以抵消他的难过。
    一年的时间的时间说长不长,说短不短,利用的好就是我改变自己的机会了。
    我的一年计划:
    1. 找一份专业相关的工作,如设计助理。从基本学起,积累日后发展的工作经验。
    2. 继续学习英语,提高英语水平,下次开学前再考一次雅思,做最大的努力达到要求。
    3. 改善我的性格缺点:做是拖拉、不认输、转牛角尖、顽固、自视过高·····
     
    牛牛说人要是有勇气承认自己的缺点并改善它,那他就会成为伟人·······

    我喜爱的一首歌:爱是怎样炼成的

    爱是怎样炼成的

    你爱我我是知道的
    虽然我太任性了
    你说我总会长大的
    相互谦让是应该的
    你疼我我是明白的
    别太宠我我会变坏的
    让我为你做些事情吧
    那是我心甘情愿地
    我终于明白了爱是无私的
    是相互的是你教我的
    我终于明白了爱是你给的
    是我要珍惜一辈子的
    这是我心甘情愿地
    我是你的宝贝永远的

    学会长大

    这几天为了办好签证的资料和牛牛发生了好几次的争执,搞到大家心情都不好。他说我什么时候才可以不用他担心,什么时候才可以成熟一点,什么时候才可以处理好自己的事情······其实我并不想他老是忧心我的事的,但是不知不觉又会希望有他可以依赖。他的疼爱似乎变成了我有利的武器,也知道每次他嘴里说着以后再也不帮我做我的事情了,但是最后还是会忍不住帮我。记得以前在杂志上看到的一句话:一个女人和男友分手后说,他不在后连汽水盖都不会开了。以前觉得这句话未免太夸张了,现在想想我开始担心自己的情况了。正想牛牛问的,我什么时候才可以长大?!跟他一起以后我是长大了、成熟了,还是幼稚了、依赖了?!可能他比我感受更深吧。
    这一年多里,我到是觉的他成长了不少。可能当一个人真正离开家时才会真正长大吧。像他妈妈说的那样,看到他和我说话时就像个大人一样。我什么时候才会长大呢?
    小时候向往着成为大人,可以有自己的意愿长大了到羡慕小孩的无忧无虑。到现在的双十阶段,现实又不得不把自己逼向成熟,可谁又不是在心底里不希望不要长大。
    妈妈说我是个比较独立的孩子,可他老说我长不大。我只是希望我是一个不要妈妈担心的孩子,可以为她做点是的孩子。
    怎样才会长大,怎样才算长大,我们都不知道,只能慢慢的学会长大。

    第一篇网络日记:忘却的日记

    这是我第一次写网络,不知道多少年没写过日记了。以前总有人送日记本给我当生日礼物。前些日子整理房间时更是找出了两本精美的日记本。里面零星片断似乎记录青涩年华的遗忘时光。翻开发黄的扉页,友人在上面写着赠言:扬起你生命的风帆!不知几时起已不再有人送我日记本,也不再有人为我写下这样的纯真赠言。而我也忘记了我还有写日记的习惯,只任由那精美的纸张和美好的祝愿留再发黄的记忆里,供我不知何年何月再拿出来凭吊。
     
    记得以前和牛牛也讨论过写日记的问题。他说有时写日记也挺不错的。我说我没有写日记的习惯,而且也没什么好写的。他说不是叫你每天写,而是写写心情、心得,记录一下身边的事情。就像他打电话给我时一样,总是会想一些话题跟我说。不像我老是没话听他说。我不得不反思自己了,是我不善于写作还是对周围生活的麻木,令我忘却了写我的日记?!还是害羞以后的有一天再翻阅那无聊往事,而觉得自己幼稚无知?!为什么要写日记,为什么不喜欢写日记,到最后我们也没讨论到什么结论。
     
    再次写日记时已不是传统的纸片上的记忆了。网络日记现在风靡大众,那我也凑凑热闹吧。写些大事琐事,让它变成我日后永远的凭吊吧。
