悲しい〜〜

上實驗課,我的實驗partner一直在旁邊唱 Wham 的 "Last Christmas"
又一個失戀受害者
とても悲しいてすね...

今日嬉しい

沈默寡言這玩意兒

人家說我沈默寡言,但這是表象,其根本原因是大腦語言區不發達。
真的覺得我不擅長表達自己。

常常跟朋友在一起時,沒聊個幾句,就腦中一片空白,不知道該說些甚麼了。
這在社辦時尤其明顯。除非有很熟的人,否則都只有當聽眾的份,人家講十句,我大概只插個幾個字。最後,自討無趣,順手拿起桌上的雜誌、型錄開始看。在別人眼中這行為有點自閉吧!

出活動時也是。見到不熟的新生都不知道該說甚麼,結果最後就一直泡在老人聊天團中,要不然就自己一個人飆到大隊前端,新生都不熟。真的不知該如何展開話題。以前還會學學種馬的老招:「什麼名字阿?甚麼科系阿?為何會想來騎車阿?」然後,三句問完後不知該說甚麼,尷尬的安靜之後,就自顧自的往前狂飆。

有時會羨慕一些話題永遠講不完的人。他們總是有無限多的生活小故事、有趣的經驗、新知識可以跟大家分享。曾經想說,要把自己變成一個相處起來更有趣的人,就多看一些報章雜誌、網站,並試著細細品味人生中有趣的點點滴滴。最後發現,我的人生歷練並沒有比別人無聊,只是那些記憶都鎖在一些不容易打開的抽屜中。

發現要暢所欲言,只有在一些特別要好的朋友,或者有特定共同經歷的人面前。尤其是同樣領域出身的,如系上同學,生物相關的東西有很多可以聊。有相似興趣的,如德技這種科技狂,也是特別聊的開。但也有一些特別的人,我們可以無所不聊。這些特別的人有何特點可以讓我放開心胸呢,我也不知道。總覺得自己的內心還有不少我自己都不了解的東西,還要花很多心力去聊解自己。

除了跟不熟的人聊天時常會腦袋空白外呢,有而還有語言障礙。有些東西必須要用英文解釋,我不會用中文講;有些東西則要用中文講,我不會翻成英文;也有些東西要用台語表達,不然也不知道怎麼講。但要找到三個語言的程度都跟我相似的人實在不簡單,於是,溝通障礙就出現了。

能夠使用語言互相溝通,是人類比其他動物多的一項優勢,但卻也產生了一些新的煩惱呢。

這就是人生阿

沒甚麼好抱怨的
尤其當結果完全是自己的疏忽造成的

挫折與不如意是常有的事
這就是人生

New Blogger!

I've moved to the new Blogger system!
Let's see what's new...
When I have time that is.

喜好、人生階段與生活品味

那天在實驗室跟學長一起喝咖啡時,聊到了人在不同的階段下會喜歡不一樣的東西。
就以咖啡來說好了。大部份人一開始都比較喜歡那種加很多糖的咖啡。可能是便利商店的超甜罐裝咖啡,可能是即溶三合一咖啡。不過,我現在每次去實驗室都跟學長們一起品嚐新鮮現磨的黑咖啡。他們自己烘豆子,現磨現泡,每一個步驟都像做實驗一樣的一次一次的慢慢調整各種變因,以測出最好的處理方式。咖啡的味道講究層次感,剛入口可能先有點苦,接著有咖啡豆天然的酸,然後慢慢的把那淡淡的甜味帶出來。香味則依豆子的不同有各種香味,焦味、花果香... 各種奇特的味道都有。我現在發現淺培的咖啡,味道淡淡的卻口感滑順,真的很棒。

這讓我想到我高中時,本來都喝甚麼麥香紅茶、或檸檬紅茶,總之都很甜。然後有一次喝到無糖的烏龍茶,那淡淡的甜味感覺比過重的人工加糖的飲料別有一番風味。那種天然的淡淡的甜味總是可以在舌頭上停留很久,再那裡慢慢的變化。體會過那種感覺後,都會避免喝加糖的紅茶。烏龍茶、綠茶、日式煎茶、香片都有其特別的感覺,只要不要加糖去破壞那種感覺,就會多很多樂趣。

對於音樂的喜好,也會隨年齡改變。中、小學生喜歡的偶像歌手、重口味的情歌都會讓我覺得聽不慣。輕搖滾、爵士、新世紀,都各有適合聽得心情狀態。重搖滾,心情不好的時候偶而也會聽一下。講人生經驗的歌曲也總是比情歌耐聽。

以前,對於喜好跟自己相反的人多少會有點反感,但現在想想,也許人生歷練、心境的不同,都會影響一個人的喜好吧。

Christmas cards sent

要寄出去的聖誕卡終於搞定了
週一寄出9張,今天寄出3張
不過USPS開始放聖誕假期了,所以今天寄到美國的兩張會被卡到1月1號才寄 T_T
真是晚兩天寄,晚半個月到達

這次狂寫卡片有幾個心得

  • 我的字還是一樣草,還會一行字越寫越往右上方飄...
  • 然後我得手腦並沒有同步,腦中想著一個字,手卻寫出一個長相只有20%類似的另一個字。(如:「過」=>「個」)結果寄出去的東西裡有塗改、有劃掉,還有利可白/帶... (我對不起大家)
  • 莫名其妙的,英文的寫的比較順:中文的構思比較久。阿~從小學的跟幼稚園學的語言使用上還是有差的。
  • 然後,可以理解的,給特別的人的卡片最難寫...
對了,信封上的收件者我都沒寫先生小姐耶,應該ok吧XD
---
小心的貼上漂亮的郵票,然後把信封們一一投入那紅色或綠色的鐵桶,感覺自己的感情與心意隨之掉到筒底,發出響亮的撞擊聲。人們的感情就這樣躺在筒中等待郵差來把他們送到各個收件人的手中。

細胞生死學老師對細胞自死的說明很有趣XD:
「一個細胞受到外在刺激後,內疚皺縮而死!」

我也喜歡老師對考試的看法:
「考試不是用來打敗學生的。」
偏偏還是有一堆老師喜歡故意刁難學生...

Infection 很有趣?

剛剛在台大醫院地下室員工餐廳吃午飯,聽到一個穿著醫師袍的醫學生說:「我覺得 infection (感染)還滿有趣的......」

恩,以一個生醫學生的觀點來看,若剛好學到這方面得東西,覺得念得很有趣,可以理解,而且我有同感。

不過,這句話可不能在病房隨便講,若給一個受院內感染之苦的病人聽到這句話,他大概會不寒而慄,狂冒冷汗吧 orz

我以後若要說病毒研究很有趣,也要小心聽眾是誰呢。

自由電子報-愛上台灣 日女留學生漫畫紀實

自由電子報-焦點新聞

以日本人的眼光來看台灣的男女關係總是很訝異:「台灣的男生對女生這麼好?」這,在台灣已經是常態,所以,眾多好人在競爭激烈之下,加倍溫柔......(抖)

不過,台灣的女性主義者還是舉著歐洲的例子,大聲呼喊著台灣男女不平等。我是覺得,台灣現在已經是個接近平等的社會了。(甚至有些地方,如大學的體育課,還會「重女輕男」呢XD)大家就好好的以互相體諒的態度去生活就可以了吧。

唯一想到需要改進的,就是公廁的女廁不夠大了吧。

Adobe reader 8

Get Acrobat Reader

For all the people that don't know yet, Adobe reader has been updated to version 8. Previous versions had always been slow, such as Acrobat reader 6, which once took 2 minutes to launch on my old computer. And I hated reader 7, too, which loaded a resource hungry "speed loader" every time you boot into Windows, which slows down your whole computer, but didn't speed up the launch of the reader it self a lot. Reader 7 also installs Yahoo toolbar for IE on your system, which is ugly and useless, and has a Yahoo search box in the reader it self...

Now, Reader 8 is different. It's the first version that I will be happy to urge everyone to download.

First of all, the download is still to large in size to be happy with, that's because it still comes with Photoshop album starter edition. I urge everyone to stop the installation of that junk as soon as it starts to install.

But that's just about the only annoying stuff of reader 8.

This version is blazing fast, you can finally open PDF files in the blink of an eye! And I am really happy that no Yahoo junk is bundled with this version. But with the experience of previous versions, the speed is the biggest and best new feature of this version.

Go get it, trust me, you'll love the speed.
*note: Mac users get the English version, the Chinese version is not out yet. However, PDF support is built into the MacOS, so that's not a big deal :)

UCLA databank hacked

UCLA Identity Alert
Federal Bureau of Investigation Los Angeles Division - Press Release
FBI website to aid UCLA hacker probe - Los Angeles Times
UCLA break-in puts data on 800,000 at risk | CNET News.com

Great, I got the mail, I am a victim!!!
Yeah, no news is good news, and so it's usually not good to be part of the news incident.
What? I am just an applicant, just submitted my file this month, in fact, the deadline was just yesterday. And my data was leaked already!!!

Hope this won't be the beginning of a nightmare years later...

On the incident, I am really surprised that the hacker had access to the database from October 2005 till November 2006, when they finally noticed the break in. That's over a year's access!!!

起きて、起きて...!

昨天,不,應該是今天清晨,BCT報告打完一部分後想説先去睡好了。結果又有人要我看SOP,在對方說deadline是15的情況下我心軟了,又幫他看完才關電腦。
看完、要去睡時,又被放在床頭的那本村上春樹吸引...
好,2am才睡。

今天本來跟同學約好早上9am要到學校去收拾昨天BCT的實驗, 結果於7am我再度、一連按掉了3個鬧鈴,繼續睡。
40min後被媽吵醒,發覺又爆炸了,衝出門,然後我那爛雨傘風一吹又自動解體了(囧),只好在路邊停下來組裝。然後修好雨傘後遠遠看到一班公車跑了...

明天我要把鈴声換成ハチクロ第一集中竹本的聲音:「森田起きて、森田起きて、森田起きて、起きて...」
XD

'07 車社花東之旅...

這次花東是怎樣阿?
還沒開始宣傳就已經報名人數爆滿,報名提前截止了
而且這都是在強烈要求社上老人不要佔新生名額的狀況之下

是台灣現在的騎車風氣變盛了嗎?還是我們花東已經做出口碑了,光口耳相傳的宣傳就夠了?
這狀況真的很誇張,我完全無法提出合理的解釋。

PTT版宣只 po 了一點,教室版書還沒開始,聯網站上都還沒出現真正的宣傳圖或動畫(只有一個有點正式的活動公告網頁)
這麼重大的活度卻免宣傳,有點空虛的感覺。
好像車社本學期少了甚麼重要的慶典似的。

Whatever,現在社上人才輩出,我已經呈現死老人狀態了
台9 花東段也已經騎爛了,花東也不是很想去,頂多亂入個幾天吧
我比較喜歡探險,開拓沒騎過的新路線
不過對於寒假還是不知道要去那...
但想玩克難一點,比較有冒險的刺激感與成就感。在平日的城市生活中已經過的夠安逸了,幹麼出去玩還要住高級飯店、民宿?也許像環島時那樣騎到那住到那,隨便找廉價旅社,或若有帳篷也很棒。

Lorenz butterfly plot



Oh, Yeah! Lorenz function 終於用 Matlab 跑出來了,終於看到 3D 立體蝴蝶圖了!

不過呢,ㄜ,喉嚨跟頭都在痛,BCT 報告還是不想動。

Seminar & Murphy's law

今天真是 Murphy's law 大體驗阿
今天報 seminar ,結果早上開始感冒、喉嚨痛

用教室電腦的 office 2003 修過的 Powerpoint file 圖片不見了,害我報告中斷,臨時換成 Apple Keynote 直接輸出的檔案。當初就是因為 windows 上的 powerpoint 中的字體大小跟 mac 上的不同,特別用 windows 上的 powerpoint 把檔案修過。結果反而是非微軟的軟體作成的檔案問題比較小。好啦,微軟的程式在每一台電腦上跑得結果都不一樣,難道是 chaos 系統?!

碰到這麼多問題,老天對我真是照顧阿~~

---

回到 seminar 本身。本來因為時間不足,拿掉很多東西,留了一堆漏洞等著大家問問題(簡直就是填充題)。結果,用英文報完,全班八成以上的人都呆著一張臉看著我,問題沒幾個。也不知道是我的英文不容易懂還是論文本身較複雜。重點是:我留的漏洞都沒被問到~~

不爽。

通車3天!機場地下道單車男摔死-Yahoo!奇摩新聞

通車3天!機場地下道單車男摔死-Yahoo!奇摩新聞


有人騎單車在台北松山機場復興北路地下道內摔車就直接爆頭掛了。新聞跟家屬都一付是政府工程單位設計不良的樣子。老實說,我覺得有人頭這麼脆弱有點驚訝,不過就假設車速真的很快,而水泥很硬好了。那麼,責任該歸誰?我覺得死者自己要負罪大責任。沒戴安全帽還高速狂飆,真的很沒概念。當然,若硬要說的話,政府的責任在於:沒有宣導騎車要戴安全帽的觀念,也沒有立法規定。

台灣社會中,死者最大的觀念是個不合理的陋習。這次要申請國賠,就像以前有人闖紅燈被撞死還要人家賠錢一樣沒道理。

總之,騎車要戴安全帽是個必須要具體實行的基本常識。

Christmas cards

December, Christmas is right around the corner. That means it's time to send out the cards again.

Last year, I was still kind of in the blues of the lost relationship of the Christmas before, so I sent out none. This year, with many good friends and many people to thank, I 've got the biggest amount of cards to send out in my life. I usually only send to my cousins, but this year, I've decided to expand my target to good friends, and the professors that wrote recommendations for me. As for friends, I've got classmates, club mates, and even new friends that I met in the US this summer. Now, it's kind of hard to decide who to include in the list...

So I made the list, and went card shopping on Thursday. I had to say that it was not a good experience. About 60% of the cards were either too ugly or low in taste. 80% were too cute in design, looks like they are either for middle school girls or couples. Like, hay, I don't want that much glitter, cute animals, or hearts, dude. This is Christmas, not Valentines!!! What's more, I even see reprints of the cards that I bought, and sent two years ago. Do you make new designs??

So, sifting through the junk, I just got half of the amount that I needed. Guess I would need to do more card shopping elsewhere in the weekend.

There were these cards that cost 40NT (ouch!), and there were discount cards that seem like left over stocks from previous years for only 4NT each (err...). Picking discount cards for friends makes me feel a little guilty, but hay, some of them had better design then the newly printed 30NT cards, and the ultra low price really saves a lot. I could get 10 of those for the price of one expensive card! So, yeah, I did get some 4NT cards, and some others are in the 10~20NT price range. No matter how cheep these cards are, I feel that they are a lot better then "e-cards". Those on-line "e-cards" are flashy and free, but are too easy to send, need almost no effort, and feels more commercial then friendly; in other words, they feel more like spam. With paper cards, you at least get to open the envelope, and touch the handwriting. You really feel that the sender cares about you.

Sure, I'm a geek that use modern digital tech to do many things in every day life. I adapt these tools more then most people. But in some parts of life, I still like the old fashioned way.

柴咲コウ又出新歌了,這次似乎是聖誕節應景歌。看MV似乎是有點孤獨的歌,可惜找不到歌詞,努力聽聽看好了。
上一張專輯,「ひとりあそび」我也聽快一年了。快點出新專輯吧,單曲很貴的耶。

MV,當然還是要用Youtube大神找啦
