Zest 89

Location: 89 Kingsway, Glen Waverley

I had went pass this shop numerous time but haven't got a chance to give it a try until Wai wai called me out. Apparently she's a great fans to this place, been there like couple of times a week till the boss and waitress all recognize her =.= The day when we went, they have different bunch of waitress and the boss was not in though~

Because i had a late lunch that day wasn't in to go a main, was there for dessert!! But wai wai said she's hungry and since she's was kinda on diet so we went for caesar salad. Gosh!! that was one hell of big appetizer! You get 4 huge pieces of chicken fillets! If you are not a big eater, definitely opt for sharing. The 2 of us was extremely full eating it... a coffee after the meal, they got great barrister :D Then finally the main of the day :D (u know how ppl said there's always a second stomach for dessert) This chocolate mouse is extremely good! Mouse are usually creamy and stuff but this is not, it's very very rich and not too sweet! This is almond cheesecake i think, very nice too but i tend to get sick with the taste after have too much of it hahaha~ chocolate still the best :D

Overall, great meals, great appearance, great taste, great service and good atmosphere before certain ppl start smoking =.= we didn't place a booking so.... haiz... one of the disadvantages of sitting outdoor.... and most important!! great price!!

ps: the waiter that serve us was kinda cute too :D hahahaha~

2011。开始

又到了该回去面对现实的时候了，3个月的假期感觉神马都没来得及做就结束了。这，就是所谓的幸福吧，因为开心，所以觉得短暂。
要有一段时间不能见到这个景色了这样的天气适合飞行 touch down空空的机场，地板好亮！ 等待。无聊。微博中。。。入口。班机整整误点了一个小时！破晓早餐。 那个muffin甜到腻！说真的，还蛮不可思议的，困在那小小的空间几小时，接着外面景色就都变了，外面看起来又是个大晴天是吧？感觉很温暖是吧？只有15度！！这是夏天吗？

下机 - 移民局 -行李 -海关，一切超顺利的，只是行李等了很久！transit的一般行李就被放在飞机里深度的某角落的，再加上因为我某箱子贴了Fragile被摆在oversized luggage那里害我等了很久，还以为我行李不见了！？平常澳洲会很龟毛的只要有携带食物的都要过海关过很久，东西要给他们开进去看，x-ray一下才能解脱，这次居然不用，直接被放行了！！

出来以后就没有那么顺了！！我其实有book那种airport pickup的service，那王八蛋都说好了我一定是10点以后才能出来，我过关过得那么顺根本10点半不到就出来了，他们自己贪心接那么多人，你说 要是你是顾客你八点就下机，那人也承诺会来载，却meet到你的时候要你多等一个人2小时，谁会开心啊？那是什么服务态度啊！但那个人说堵车可能会要到一 点我直接打电话过去骂！我管他是不是8点就有到机场什么的，谁叫你点来啦？这根本不是班机误点的问题，根本是贪心服务态度差！白痴才要等，我累了只想回家 睡觉！！Melbourne的taxi driver还是一个个死白痴，KL taxi 一个水准，有GPS还是不会去Monash University的，没关系，由我这个foreigner教他们这些local怎么去！
当天的唯一一餐，晚餐，和housemate还有她的朋友一起，这是拉面，拉得太好弹性十足！吃得我好累。。。味道很好，只是一直吃，一直吃没见这面少过。。。

告白

I have posted about the movie, now the book :D YESH~ i found the book and bought it! The plot is pretty much the same as the movie, just some details different. Personally i like both the books and the movie equally. The book went in more detail, filled up anything u miss or don't understand from the movie (or not told by the movies)

告白 Confession have a lot of meanings, depend on how u use it. This book is about confession of the truth about certain incident, the dark side of the people, 很真的一本书，描述着角色们拿下虚伪的面具，告知读者他们真实的感觉。 真的是和透彻的展现了人完完善，也无完恶的道理。

说真的当伦理和正义分歧时，你该选哪一边？

真的是很好的一本书，很久没读到这么好的推理型小说

House of Many Ways

The sequel to Howl's Moving castle, but the story central on Charmain Baker (new character). Sophie still an important character, as well as Calcifer, Howl who disguise himself as Twinkle, oh and they have a son, Morgan :D

Favorite part is when Morgan, Calcifer and Twinkle show up :P Love the dialogue between Sophie and Howl. Love the book! If you love Howl's, u would love this as well hehe~

元宵节

记得几年前，因为确认自己无法,也不想继续向有化学的理科系前进，(因为化学会挂得很惨）决定从商，在大学开始之前拖着刚考完中六放假等成绩中的好友陪我一起恶补会计入门的东西，一个月内从lvl1跳到lvl3的读。 (觉得自己就像推销员似的硬是说服了没想要向会计之路前进的朋友一起来交钱学）

我们几个不改死性的每天在那里有聊不完的话题，还会一边抱怨一边做完老师（也是那里的校长）所给的作业，最后还带MP3边听音乐边写作业，还带零食互相分享（其他同学因该都对我们很无语吧）不过这就是我们最舒服学习的方式也说不定，毕竟都有学会（不过现在都忘得差不多了吧）

可能是看我们聊的很开心还是他自己也爱聊，老师有时候也会和我们聊些（或者罗嗦）事。有天他就说现在的年轻人都对自己文化的节日不了解之类的抱怨，其中就问到我们知道中国的情人节是那天吗？那老头估计觉得现在人都是崇洋派不会知道的,不过好歹我们小时候看很多书的～想当年哪有PS之类的高级玩具，连电脑都是奢侈品，不是每家都有的，爸妈更加视它为“delicate”物品，那是死小孩可以乱碰的，看一堆有的没的～ 好怀念知识报，知识画报，和小星星之类的读物～

中国的情人节就在元宵！原因就是在以前封建的传统社会中，年轻女孩不允许出外自由活动，但是过节却可以结伴出来游玩，元宵节赏花灯正好是一个交谊的机会，未婚男女借着赏花灯也顺便可以为自己物色对象。元宵灯节期间，又是男女青年与情人相会的时机。(@百度百科）

很怀念以前和朋友相处的点滴，看到这篇文的朋友们Happy Chap Go mei!

我十岁，离婚

《Moi Nojoud, 10 ans, divorcee》是一本关于中东国家童婚真实故事，故事里的主人翁Nojoud10岁就被父亲逼迫辍学，与大她30岁的男人结婚。因为不堪被她丈夫性虐待，逃去法院并向法官提出离婚的要求。最后在律师的协助下成功离婚，成为了最年轻的离婚者，同时也迎来世界人们对童婚问题的重视。

这书是我哥哥的，偶然逛public看到买的，不过这家印刷公司不给力，很难才找到一本封面的字没有印模糊的。新年那时想看，每次一开始看就有人来找我，妈妈叫我做事之类的T_T 今天终于把它看完了！！

蛮不错的一本书,简述小女孩只想要过简单，普通的童年生活却被环境，和思想扭曲的‘大人’ 所逼而失去了拥有这简单的幸福，但是她并不像现实屈服，努力的为自己争取自己该有的童年，同时给了很多和她有相同勇气去站起来，摆脱不幸的命运。书中强调着不要抱着对中东文化还是回教的偏见来看待这是故事,把这故事当作是扩展知识的好题材，明白在世界某一角落有这么一个悲剧，别因为自己活在幸福里，而无视别人的不幸，and be ignorance!

FM 100 Hue Test

Warning: This test is extremely tiring to your eyes and require a lot of patient.

Found this when Someone share this on 微博, it examine how well do you see colour. According to the website "1 out of 255 women and 1 out of 12 men have some form of color vision deficiency." All you need to do is to arrange the little colored square box according to their hue order. The lower the score the better, with ZERO being the perfect score.

I lost patient half way and only score 12 @_@

結婚できない男

刚看完这部2006年的日剧，是看TVBS时看到预告，因为有阿部寬才看的，非常喜欢他的戏～而且也觉得很难得的有日本演员像他那么高+看片名就知道和爱情戏有关的，看多了偶像剧之类的，难得看部晚婚/不婚的题材很有趣，很接近现在的社会吧～ 看tvb时他们的翻译是《熟男不結婚》，但看日语的是说《結婚できない男》所以《不能结婚的男人》的翻译比较direct吧。。。嗯，我还是只会一点romaji+kanji 的人哈哈哈～

故事里阿部宽是饰演桑野信介，一个年过40的多金建筑师，穿著有品味、爱听古典乐，拥有一流的厨艺，而且还是单身！看似条件优渥的他，却是既别扭又刻薄的贱嘴男，女人一旦认清他的真面目，都会头也不回地绝尘而去。故事都绕着他以及身边的人。

我很喜欢男主角的别扭个性，现实生活估计没几个人受得了吧，以观众的角度看的话倒是很搞笑。也很喜欢狗儿KEN!一人一狗搞暧昧！？ :D

有空去看看吧，很不错的一部!

ps:韩国也有拍这个，就是改編之这部的，不过以我先入主为观的个性，我还是会比较喜欢原版的，所以韩国那个我不看了，我会下意识比较+嫌它的，而且同样题材不想看那么多次，看别的故事吧～

告白 Confessions

最近很少看电影，尤其是日本的，这个是因为看到微博很多人转这个，看评论的放映都很不错，据说是已经入围奥斯卡外语片提名，就看看。


故事一开始，在学期结业日，女教师森口悠子（松隆子）在教室向学生们宣告了一个惊人的消息：她将辞任教师一职，而数月前在学校泳池溺毙的4岁女儿爱美的死并不是意外而是班上学生的蓄意谋杀，犯人就在37名学生之中。

故事还蛮黑暗血腥的，是女老师的复仇记，仿演着社会阴暗面，提醒大家不要忽视青少年犯罪，不过所谓的血腥不是生化危机，僵尸什么的那种血腥，是一部看了心情会有点小压抑的～

对于女教师的行为，并不觉的对还是错，毕竟在那种情况完全理解她对社会绝望的感觉，生活对她十分的残酷。电影拍摄的手法也很好，非常的推荐这部，好想看看它原作～ 这电影是改编自新人作家凑佳苗的同名推理小说，唉～这里没卖吧。。。

最后，我很在意最后那句那句“开玩笑的！”，直觉觉得是死了，那句开玩笑是指他没有重生的机会～ 算了，还是跟我的直觉好，感觉那一切以后这个解读好点，不然对其他人不平啊～

天空の城ラピュタ

好久没写博客了，都在微博～ 2011第一篇博客就献给了宫崎骏早期的作品-天空之城 (Laputa)。1986... 我才2岁吧。。。

据百度说这是Studio GHIBLI 的第一部作品，原作、监督、脚本和角色设定都是由宫崎骏来担任的，剧情说到Sheeta是传说中“天空之城Laputa”的后裔，那曾是超越地上文明不知几千年的空中文明，但不知为何，Sheeta 的祖先离开“天空之城”，抛弃发达的科技，在地面上过起隐居的生活。故事开始Sheeta所坐的飞行船遭到空中海盗的袭击，争斗中Sheeta从高空的飞行船上跌落下来被矿工机师的徒弟，Pasu 发现在一团蓝光的包围下从天上飘下来了。隔天Sheeta 在 Pasu 房间里醒来发现房里有一张“天空之城Laputa”的照片，据说是Pasu 的父亲冒着生命的危险历尽艰险才拍到的真正的天空之城，但除了Pasu之外，没有人相信他，最后在郁郁寡欢中去世了。于是Pasu 发誓，一定要向他人证实，世上真的有天空之城存在！

Trailer：(can't find Japanese trailer, this one i also dunno what language haha German maybe?) view picture lah


然后我非常喜欢ending的这首歌


有些地方，因为字幕不全的关系我没看懂，例如为什么Pasu也会知道最后那个咒语，看百度百科的解说貌似这部动画想表达的讯息很多，嘛～我不研究这个，只在乎剧情就是了，画面漂亮，音乐好，剧情不错，GOOD！ 赫赫～
