这两天放长假，本来想多出去活动活动，看看Floriade什么的，结果风大得不得了，简直要发疯了。吹得我脸上的皮都飞起来了，嘴唇也干得要裂开了，手脚更是干燥。本来堪培拉就是全澳Hayfever发病率最高的城市，这一吹，我的鼻炎更严重了，因为花粉也都发狂了。看来这两天得赶快把喷鼻子的药水买回来，否则晚上的风箱扯得更厉害，鼻子就更是一摆设了。
我的蒜苗倒是长起来了，光发出芽来就花了两个多星期，等得我心焦。不过生菜就没什么太大变化，可能种得太密。不知名的小花也全都冒出来了，不过看起来也不太可能长得很好，因为盆太小，每个之间也太近了。春天就是这么稀里糊涂、乱七八糟、 也不知道该穿还是该脱地过着，伴随着我一只受了伤的脚、一张吹得都快成西藏放牦牛人的脸，和每天100多个喷嚏，我还是盼着明天的天气会和今天的不一样。
My colleague’s kids went to Hong Kong and brought a mini Buddha back as a gift for their mom. This little cute statue is no bigger than several centimetres high, wearing a lilac gown and has such an extremely happy face that I wondered if anyone can resist not laughing out when they see it.
There’s no doubt that everyone loves it very much. It’s not only because it’s a gift from kids, it also represents love, peace, inner happiness and a positive attitude towards the life out there.
I am not into any religion (but it doesn’t mean that I am not into any philosophy). But having had seen this little thing, I pretty much have decided that if one day I had to go to any religion (like I am forced to choose one), I would go to Buddhism instead of Christianity.
You asked me “why”? Well…., Can’t you see the difference between our two holy teachers’ two faces? By the way, no one can tell if Buddha is male or femal; also, Buddha probably needs to lose a bit weight 
For some reason, probably out of curiosity, I made a list of all the paid jobs that I have done in my life. So on the paper, I can see this:
· Writer ……108 months
· Human Resource Officer…… 39 months
· Piano Teacher ……36 months
· AIN ……27 months
· Psychological Evaluator and Counsellor …..24 months
· Administrative Officer ……19 months
· Translator ……18 months
· Psychology Teacher in Uni ……18 months
· Care Planner ……8 months
· Primary School Holiday Camp Teacher ……3 months (2 school holidays)
· Take-away Shop assistant, Kitchen Hand, Dishwashing Hand and Waitress ……2 months
· Stationery and Cards Sale Assistant ……1 month
· Car Exhibition Assistant ……3 days
Have you ever done this sort of list before? It gives you a brand new angle to look at who you are and what aspect you are good at or what experience that you really have. Most of people thought that they already know exactly who they are and what they have done? But believe it or not, you could be very wrong.
I found it very interesting to see how differently the things that I have been thinking in my mind actually turned out in writing on a piece of paper. Let the facts tell~!
I am really used to the way how I have been living in the past several days since I sprained my ankle. Now it’s time to get back to the real life out there. But the thing is, I DON”T REALLY WANT TO….. 
I went to the office without taking my crutches this morning as I felt so much better that I could actually walk on the tips of my left foot toes. Well, after I got to the office, I was first treated with stretchy bandage, and then with lots of orders from my colleagues prohibiting me walking around and hopping on my good foot. Then people pushed me sitting on my chair to get me moved. They also kindly helped me heat up my lunch box in the lunch time. I was given the order to bring my crutches tomorrow; otherwise they are going to smack my bum. What sort of nice people they are!!!
Anyway, that’s not all about it. Something exciting was happening this morning. We’ve got new computers coming on aboard. Finally we got rid of the giant and stupid screen and replaced it with 19’ flat screen and a cordless mouse with a cute charger.
Now with only two days left ahead before I will have another long weekend across through till next Tuesday, my week just couldn’t be more perfect.
今年中秋节没买月饼，不过我觉得一点儿也不遗憾，因为我吃到了另外一种也是很传统、很中国、而且是老公做的好东西，名曰糍粑。据说这是他们家那边过中秋早餐时食用的一种传统地方特色小吃。我以前虽然在饭店偶尔尝过，但从来没有见人在家亲自操练过。
老公从昨天晚上就泡上了糯米，早上起来先是上蒸锅蒸了半个小时。然后乘热用一擀面杖使劲捣。划船的人真是不一样啊，我试着捣了几下就没劲儿了，他还能一直坚持下去，直到将一颗一颗的糯米全部捣成浆糊状。而且我看着是越到后面越费劲，因为糯米越来越粘，擀面杖也越来越难从糯米中拔出来。
功夫不负有心人，据老公说，糯米最后捣烂的程度相当理想，唯一的遗憾是他没有准备黄豆粉，导致没有办法将一团糯米分开成型，制作为期望的形状。结果难看的是我们俩的吃相——两个人用手你一点我一点地抓着吃，用老公的话是“猫捉了糍粑——脱不了手了”。不过你别说还真不错，蘸点儿糖，糯米甜香可口，可谓今年中秋节我们家的一大特色。
就是不能吃太多，因为不好消化。剩下的搁在一个盘子里晾干，听说干后用刀使劲切成小块，下油锅炸着吃会味道更好。拭目以待～～
Like the Berry-in-a-Box pattern I knitted?…. Just started working on this Origami Cardi today. It feels so good to knit this 8 row’s pattern as a deep border. Thought it’s gonna be hard before I started, but it turned out that knitting it gives me more visual interest than technical difficulty. I can’t belive that with only a couple of hours, I have already consumed one 50g ball’s yarn and finished one sleeve border. Seems like I will be able to finish the whole project by the time the summer begins.
