cross

這是去Marina團契 Coffee House event拿到的十字架
因為好可愛
所以我好想要學著做 然後送給別人
但是 不知道有誰會這個pattern的cross呢/_____\

啊~我好想學喔


9.30

再五分鐘凌晨五點了
花了幾個鐘頭找資料勉強的湊足了一頁
也完成對自己設下的目標-- 每天寫1 page
再過兩天我的first draft也就完成了
再來就是句子跟內容的修改 & 訂正

今天不知道能不能撥點時間出來
給marina做點東西
想好了..可卻一直都沒能去做
大概又得要熬夜吧

The coming week is hard for you and me
but comparing to yous... mine is nothing
讓我們再好好努力一下吧^^

9.28 令人省思的一本書

Happy Birthday Vivian^^

今天終於收到我訂的書嚕
晚上在整裡書包時
順手翻了翻
想說都是短篇故事
那我就看一下也沒差
但 誰知道我一下之後就停不下來嚕
很久很久都沒有一本書能讓我這麼不捨
或許是有好長一段時間沒能好好靜下心來讀書
也可能是我早就忘了我有這個興趣吧

"孩子,先別急著吃棉花糖"這本書真的是很值得看的書
內容是勵志型的
但是又很生動(可能是因為是為小朋友而寫的XD..啊~我只適合小朋友的書= =?)
上過Psych都應該聽過那個棉花糖的實驗吧
就是一群小朋友被分別帶進到不同的實驗室
實驗師就放一顆棉花糖在桌上
告訴小朋友 如果15分鐘之內不吃掉這棉花糖
那之後就可以再得到另一顆
書裡面主角的爸爸就是當年參加那實驗小孩之一
長大之後變成了一位很成功的事業家
他用他的棉花糖經驗還有一些小故事來教導他女兒一些觀念

其實書裡面要教導的事情大家都知道
只事有沒有做到而以
可是...讀完之後真的又會覺得學到很多^^
突然間 讓我覺得...anyway..蠻高興的XD (好無言喔...)

嗯~不寫嚕^^
有機會一定也給你看看這本書
寫paper去!!!

嗯...May 蔡媽媽rest in peace
and..願主安慰他一家人

中秋快樂

今天考psych midterm考爆了
比想像中還慘
唉..未來三個星期我得要好好讀課本XD

晚上本來是計畫要烤肉的
但...
怕下雨~所以改成火鍋
雖然只有姊妹們+陸家
我們還是吃的很高興

晚上想說要跟Marina約
可是她跟朋友出去
那沒關係嚕
等她有空吧

今天你也很累吧
為了下星期的期中考
加油嚕..我會默默為你祈禱^^
晚安

NY trip

August 28
紐約之旅1
這次自助旅行計畫了一個多月吧
但因為是第一次這樣玩
所以計畫趕不上變化呢...

8月19 紐約之旅-- 第一天
為了省錢
我們買了轉機機票...早上6:30到了New Jersy的Newark機場
因為小Amy忘了帶passport所以我們拖著三大箱的行理從國內 termial 走到國際 termail...= =|||
問問看她是不是回程時也可以不用護照
我們得到的答案是
18歲以下在美國境內飛行是不需要證件^^
不過...過海關時
小amy可是被檢查的夠仔細的嚕
其實我也不知道我們為啥要走這麼遠-0-反正大家都累到暴
問完之後..我們在想怎樣到旅館
然後又拉著行理跑
一大早要找bus也很難
最後我們只好坐小黃跑到紐約...花了100美金...真的是貴啊
可是那司機人真的蠻好的..^^還發現他也是主內弟兄喔~看到他有本翻到很舊的聖經呢

到了旅館後..因為還太早我們根本就不能check in..只好先到櫃台寄放行理
之後就在旅館外轉了轉...熟悉環境...順便想要弄份地圖
旅館旁有間中國市場+小food court
港式飲茶 一樣$2
branch美金15塊就把大家餵飽了..!!!真是經濟又實惠啊

從旅館拿到地鐵地圖後
我們想說從Queen坐bus到曼哈頓(Manhattan)
上公車因為不夠零錢想說用紙鈔一元來付...可是他不收XD
(美金一元也有硬幣版喔!!!)
好心的公車司機就讓我們四人免費搭乘呢~真是太感激嚕
坐著坐著...竟然發現我們離Manhattan越來越遠
啊~~趕快下車..找地鐵
不過地鐵的入口也太不顯眼了吧誰看的到啊
下了地鐵之後
就開始研究要怎買MetroCard
因為整天都要做地鐵跑來跑去...所以買了unlimited rides--1day fun pass (照片裡面有喔^^)
第一次坐地鐵還蠻興奮的
不過因為紐約的地鐵有點複雜...標示的也不是太清楚
所以...剛開始有點迷路了XD

說說對地鐵站的感覺吧
要進入地鐵站會有一陣熱風...感覺蠻ㄜ的
然後會有鐵味
整個地鐵站都是很舊很舊的
看起來像是有50年以上的歷史...應該有更久..
蠻髒亂的
到處都可以看到graffiti
還有軌道上的垃圾
但是...我只能說它真的很方便嚕!!
比溫哥華的transit方便多嚕

在Ron的帶領下我們成功的到達時代廣場嚕
不知道是不是因為星期日的關係
(還是每天都這樣)
這邊暴多人的
而且時代廣告全都是跑馬燈= =|||
也太閃了吧....眼睛花到不行
隨便晃晃後我們就走路到

紐約市有名的中央公園嚕
公園外面有很多希臘風的雕像@@"
那時下著大雨其實也沒看那些雕像的介紹
公園真的是規劃的蠻好的~
有機會大家可以去看看

之後我們就走到第五大道嚕
這裡可不是像我們這樣平民老百姓逛的起的地方
所以只能window shopping..
大概想的到的名牌那邊都有

雨下個不停...最後大家只好淋濕的回到旅館...

(http://ronnievan.spaces.live.com/)Alrite second day!!!!!!
Hmm there was nothing really going on in the morning, probably because Jen & Amy jr. slept in until almost noon..^^||||| Anyway, after having a light breakfast/brunch @ the same place yesterday, we again went into the subway system and tried to figure out our way:)
We arrived at Times square again, then went to the M&M store nearby (this episode doesn't exist in my memory but apparently in Angie's^^|||| ) I thought it was okay at first, but we stayed there for toooooooo long, and when we stepped out of the shop, it was already 3pm in the afternoon. Well, I guess we did catch some good stuff, like Angie got a set of poker chips (btw, the main activities @ night before sleep were playing cards and DS^^|||||||||when did I become this childish????) and some shirts. Also, the M&M candy sells for $9 a pound!!!! WOW such RIPOFF!!!!! (as you'll see later, everything is expensive around Manhattan=.=|||||) After shopping, we set out for northern part (official name: Uptown manhattan) and see the famous Columbia University - the only place I felt worth seeing on that day;) (a glimpse of my past: I was thinking about applying there 2 years ago, but somehow I didn't...Columbia is definitely nice, but I like my own better:D) Picture as a proof, the Columbia library - alma mater was a magnificent building. It kind of reminded me of the Zeus' temple in Athens^^ anyway, we went around the campus for a while, the law school and teacher's college and all that, and came out a while after. Unfortunately, we left from a different exit; without Jen's extraordinary sense of direction^^, we would of had a hard tie finding our way back XD
On the way, we visited a big church. I thought it was the famous St. Paul's cathedral, then it turned out to be Cathedral of Saint John the Divine^^||||| But it was no doubt a sight. We didn't go inside however, partly because the main part was under construction. After taking a few pictures, we gain went on our way.
Then I wanted to visit the natural history museum and the Guggenheim museum, the two famous ones in NY. but for some reason (maybe Jen's not paying attention I guess) we went the wrong direction and ended up at a local mcDonalds:D It was lucky for Angie though, as she had some urgent business to deal with(details ignored^^|||||) and we sat down for a cup of ice coffee. By the time we finally made it to the musems, they were already closed(T___T I really didn't want to miss those two u know) and we hastily took some pics and then left.
I don't know if it was coincidence, but we walked past the southwest corner of Central Park once again. (honestly, we didn't get to see a lot of central park either, despite the fact that we pretty much spent two days walking around it...=.=) Then we entered the big shopping center, and Amy jr. was delighted (^^according to my theory, shopping appeared to be the main purpose of her trip) I wasn't quite impressed by the shops themselves, but through the huge glass door at front(see pic) we had a nice view of the park and the statues. At this point, we were all hungry after much usage of feet and legs, so we decided to visit the last stop of the day -- Grand central station, then go home.
On the way there, we saw a Payless shoes store. The stuff inside was quite good, all with reasonable prices:D Jen bought a pair of long boots (trying to be a model huh?) and Amy had a shiny pair of high heels (a future princess in the making?^^|||||) and finally, someone bought a pair of casuals for someone else (hint: as birthday present)
Grand Central was really grand from the exterior looks, and the interior is extravagantly decorated as well. Amy and Jen put up a show here (two sisters catching a train?) then we went underground to the subway again. We went through a door, and inside and outside was just different like heaven and earth.It felt like all the shining lights and dazzling, we were brought down to reality once more^^||||
By the time we got back to Queens, it was as late as 9pm. We wanted to check out the Macy's near the station, but it was closing in 20 minutes, and we had to wait one more day. But we ate a decent meal @ a restaurant just ourside of the hotel, and Angie was happy to have TWO sweets as her dessert (I thought body shape was more important to you Angie...maybe I was wrong?^^|||) After some rounds of cards and Super Marios, August 20th officially closed its curtain.
We didn't do much, but did have a lot of fun. I guess that should be enough for us...or is it?

這星期2chat我又帶失敗了
準備都不夠 所以討論時都沒什麼人發言
這又是第幾次被我搞砸的呢?
feel like i am learning helplessness
失敗了就不想再去做了
本來就不是一個能在人前發言的人
對於一個我自己不是很懂的事
我又能發表多少自己的意見呢
從來就不是個leader的我
只是會連絡朋友出去而以
除此之外 我的功能並不太大

昨天在小組討論時
我也沒能發表出什麼
又是Matthew來wrap整個討論
10分鐘左右整個小組就做鳥獸散了
看著其他小組能激烈的討論到4點
覺得好羨慕呢
對聖經了解許多的他們 都能發表一下自己的看法
我到底在幹嘛

很對不起Jen因為她總是很為大家想

但我沒有為她準備什麼
今天也很對不起Marina..coz她找我去她的Fairwell party
沒能去...我沒車+沒時間

C++沒什麼進度
又把Matthew給托下水/__\辛苦他了
不過謝謝他一步一步的教我^^
現在我也懂一點點嚕
明早要早起跟同學一起做assignment
啊...i never do program alone..XD

明明我就是要考psych midterm
為什麼我卻還在煩惱c++

這星期的事很多
我能做快點嗎?
唉...我現在根本就是把ECE的兩科完全放下
全心對付c++ -0-有點本末倒置了吧

10 pages essay到底什麼時候要開始寫?

9/17

哭的時候還是得寫blog

今晚怨著自己怎學習能力這麼低
處理事情這麼慢
怎麼凡事都要問別人

這樣的日子要過多久?

失眠夜

(哇~沒想到我還記得密碼
不過我忘了...你也會記得XD)

這個月失眠幾次了呢?
不清楚
是因為上了年紀了嗎?
聽說年紀越大需要的睡眠越少
可...我也不過25啊!!!!
長了一歲差這麼多啊..@@unbelievable (哇~我剛不會批字..blogger還有spelling check XD)

今天我真的崩潰
看著眼前厚重的書
想著幾天後要交的功課
壓力變好大
覺得自己怎樣都不能做完
開始學著放棄?
知道不能哭
可是心裡好怕也好累
眼淚就這樣一滴一滴的落下
許久都不能停
向天父禱告時雖然知道只有祂能幫我
可我還是不停的哭
能做多少我不知道
但是有盡力就好

愁眉苦臉是一天
高興也是一天
明天就讓我好好休息
什麼都不去擔心的好好玩一天吧







剩3小時半的一晚
