Prof. Chiou...You're The Best^^!

v(^_^)v (*victory)...today's Trends of Food Technology and Chronic Disease (ToFT&CD) presentation was a total success^^. OK, it didn't end up perfectly as i dream of. 為什麼 ? Because...my presentation-time was being "robbed" by someone (*semi-angry).

Here's the story:

Mr. R-a-t-t-a-p-h-o-n-g (-my Thailand' classmate), who's definitely ignoring Prof. Chiou's command (read : instead of presenting something related to ToFT&CD, his presentation was about Bhumibol Adulyadej + his governance policies ------> *yawning). Even worse, he did the presentation for...25 minutes (~almost 30, actually), from 10-15 minutes provided time! (*impatience_MODE_ON).

As a result, when it comes to my turn, i just speed up and speak so fast to explain my 26-power point-slides titled Molecular Targets of Dietary Agents for Prevention and Theraphy of Cancer (-i finished it in 13 min-40 sec^^). Prof. Chiou end up gave this comments : "Hmmm...interesting topic" and "You speak so fast...your tongue must be "flippy"". Gyahahahaaaa (*laughing hard). And then, all of the sudden, he started to say something like "mouth-tongue structure" related to the dialects, pronunciation and ability in doing "flippy"-stuff. Hehehe...

The BEST part was...when he told us that there will be no FINAL TEST for this course (*\(^o^)/).

老師, 我喜歡你 ~~~~~ (*Ehehehee...klo giliran ga ujian aja...;p)

Podcasting-Postcard (???)

Poor "Bunga no iPOD"! It's only used by its owner to play J-Pop, K-Pop, R&B and 90's Pop songs. Oh yeah, and also to watch what's the owner called "scientific videos" (namely : Super Junior Exploring Human Body, how cells can go apoptosis, immunoblotting, metastasis, etc ^^).

But today (yes...T.O.D.A.Y! :p), i start to "peek" on and scroll around "Bunga no iPOD" another "ability". Yes, PODCASTING. That word sounds familiar to my ear. Yet, i never do the podcasting stuff. As a result, i end up googling and found some Postcasting Tidbits, start from its history, what is it, how it works, and also some podcasting directories (1, 2, 3). YEAY (^o^)! I have a new "thing" to play with, start from today.

Wow, FINALLY, after almost two months, Sunett's Edinburgh postcard was arrived (*thanks a bunch, Sun^^. Yes, Edinburgh is BEAUTIFUL:)). But...it was mistakenly sent to room no. 2302 (*the room next door). Ehehehe, Pak Satpam, later on please remember that i live in room no. 2303, OK ;)?!

2 Vacations on 2 New Year Holidays (Hijriyah-Masehi)

OK, i can say this two are "quite" amazing vacations i've ever had.

Verse 1. ALISHAN a.k.a Alishan National Scenic Area (阿里山國家風景區)

Finally, after lived in Chiayi for almost 4 months, i had a chance to go to this famous (scenic) park in Taiwan. Well, let's just forget that the journey to Alishan was a little bit "rocky", not to mention that i also have to babysit my Vietnamese friend who was feel motion sickness (to be specified : bus-sickness) all the way. Hehehe, peace, Li Huei^^.

Here's some infos about Alishan : 1 ; 2 ; 3.

Honestly, i would be enjoying my vacation there if....it wasn't a WINTER (*gyahahahaa...i HATE COLD WEATHER the most). So, instead of feeling refreshed nor relaxed, i was too busy to think whether i can survive from this 8-centigrade-damned-cold-Alishan weather or not. Luckily, there's a place called Fenchihu (奮起湖), a small village down the hill, where I can satisfy my souvenirs-hunger for (-read : postcards^^) -------> a perfect weather distraction ;). I also found a cool eagle-shaped blade for my brother there (*Geme'...i bet you'll love it^^). All in all, i hope when the SPRING comes, i can go to that beautiful mountain again (*can't hardly wait to see the "legendary" cherry blossoms).

Verse 2. Taibao City (太保市), Chiayi County

This unpredictable vacation ended up perfectly to me^^. OK, imagine you knew someone only for two weeks and then he/she asked you to join their family vacation. This woman named Mbak Afong is the one who really did that. So, on Masehi New Year Holiday, i went to Taibao City (to The Animal Farm and Fisherman Villages) with Mbak Afong, Mbak Afong's hubby (*dunno his name ;p), and Mbak Afong's three-cute-little daughters and son. Not enough to bring me to those places, she also took me to her house and cooked INDONESIAN DISHES (*Subhanalloooohhh^^). Before that, she treated me Minsyong's special dish called duck noodles (鴨子 麵條). Yummy^^! At the end, she invites me to spend some nights in her house again later on Chinese New Year holiday (*Huaaaaaa...(burst into tears)...thanks a heap, Mbak Afong^^).

*Speaking of cuisines, I put this interesting blog link so I can check on it whenever i want to go to the nightmarket^^.
