ex is engaged
Believe I'd injured my left foot over-exercising for the last few weeks - the damage is now building up and I walk like a turtle (i.e. turtle speed or turtle posture). Felt pretty miserible going to the lab to pick up my lab book. To make things worse, I was viewing ex's engagement photos. What a lovely day.
lunch:
crackerbread with tuna, corn, red pepper, mayonnaise x 3
crackerbread with Somerset Brie x 1
tea with milk
dessert:
fiendish level Su Doku x 1 (cannot finish it though)
It's weird how the mind works. The engagement photos pull out the 4-5 year old flashbacks. Sitting next to each other in the virology lab studying or working, talking or napping in the evening seminar, cycling to the nearby nightmarket for dinner, mid-night driving around the nuclear power plant and the coast, patiently (or impatiently) waiting for Tai to finish whatever he was doing, etc. It's wonderful that he's stepped into the next stage of life, but a tiny part of me just doesn't feel right. It's okay. I'm very good at forgetting things and it will not be bothering me in probably 5 minutes!
assuming I'll have a productive afternoon, and then:
dinner with Robin & I-Hsin at Biblos
West-Eastern Divan Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim at the Usher Hall on Monday 15 August
Tchaikovsky's Symphony No 5 will be replaced by Beethoven's Symphony No 5, and the orchestra will also perform Weber's Overture 'Abu Hassan.'
umm.... I'll go get another cup of tea and get back to work. Ciao.

sticky cockroach trap
幾天前接到母親大人來電
早上九點多我還躺在床上扭來扭去, 不想起床.
但說話的聲音則是裝的精神許多, 免的被唸.
聊了一些家裡的瑣事.
電話那頭的背景音樂是某個遊戲的配樂, 老媽又在打電動了...
媽媽提到, 自從她把跑車當貨車用, 車子很難保持乾淨.
最近正為蟑螂所苦.
買了些蟑螂屋擺在車子屋子四週, 來對付那些囂張的蟑螂.
一回, 老媽健步經過, 眼角看到一隻鬼鬼祟祟的蟑螂在蟑螂屋附近走動;
回頭一瞪, 那蟑螂太過於緊張而翻了過去, 倒在蟑螂屋裡, 被黏住了;
媽媽對這突來的勝利, 感到相當光榮, 並四處炫燿...
''蟑螂在蟑螂屋前嚇翻了''
其實, 生活就是累積在這些小小的故事中, 快樂來自於和他人分享.
ps. 誰可以幫我劃一張''蟑螂在蟑螂屋前嚇翻了''的示意圖?!

shorthair
this gets me into thinking about keeping another 'cuter' cat in the house... kiki will be jealous then......
The British Shorthair is valued for its calm demeanor, endurance and loyalty. Stocky, sturdy cat resembling a plush teddy bear~~~
pygmy hippo
date: July 31th, 2005
location: Edinburgh Zoo
Hippo Leah & her calf. Yes, they are shining. The body gives off an oily chemical which helps lubricate the skin so it doesn't dry out. Extremely adorable creature. However, they are endangered due to hunting and habitat destruction.
Maine Coon
date: July 23rd, 2005
event: Edinburgh & East of Scotland Cat Club 48th All Breeds Championship Show
location: Brunton Halls, Bridge Street, Musselburgh
The Maine Coon is America's native longhair cat; it evolved naturally in response to the New England climat. They are tall, muscular, big-boned cats. Highly people-oriented. Big, gentle, good-natured goofs. Don't forget to feel the unique texture and 'shag' of the coat. The most common inherited health problems are hip displasia and cardiomyopathy though.
hairy coo
date: June 5, 2005
location: one minute drive from the Glenfiddich Distillery in Speyside
A lovely docile highland cow calf, keeping a wary eye out for strange tourists!
