I happened to hear this song one night and it dragged me back to the past....
It's a good song which also brings back lots of lost memories..

人生所追逐的最終目的只有二個字--「快樂」。記得有一次我吃飯時，突然間在潔白的米飯中發現一個黑點，仔細一看，是一隻蟑螂，當時我的第一個反應是還好屍體還很完整。
於是我請老闆過來，用很愉快的語氣告訴他：「老闆，飯很好吃。」老闆：「哪裡，哪裡，你過獎了。」「這裡，這裡，你看連蟑螂都要來分一杯羹。」老闆一看，果真有一隻喪生稻米之鄉的蟑螂，二話不說，立即換上一碗新的白飯，並附贈一杯飲料。當時，我的朋友就覺得我很奇怪，碰到這麼倒楣的事，他們都已經快食不下嚥了，我還能心平氣和的跟老闆開玩笑，一副樂在其中的樣子。
 
事實上，我的快樂是其來有自！因為蟑螂本來就在飯裡面，我只要去吃這碗飯，就只有三種可能：一、沒發現，直接將蟑螂吃到肚子裡；二、吃掉半隻蟑螂以後才發現；三、還未鑄成大錯前就發現。
 
我是何其幸運碰到第三種最佳狀態，又可以讓我只花一份錢，卻吃了二碗飯，還賺了一杯飲料，當然快樂得不得了。

 一大早，我跳上一部計程車，要去台北郊區做企業內訓。 
因正好是尖峰時刻，沒多久車子就卡在車陣中，此時前座的司機先生開始不耐地嘆起氣來。
隨口和他聊了起來：「最近生意好嗎？」
照後鏡的臉垮了下來：

The break is going to the end. The coming semester is gonna begin next Monday. It seems to me like another adventure waiting ahead for me to write the whole story. I’ve been prepared for this moment. Things come and go. Just do your best and let it be. Conquer the fear and trust your inner instinct..I bet, You can make it!! 

Although I don't update my blog as frequently as others, I still don't want to put all eggs in one blasket, especially after the scandle of "WRETCH."....
Here, I open a new place to cultivate my blog, recording every trace in my life....
狡兔快要有三窟了....呵呵呵......

It snowed heavily this early morning, and everywhere was all white. I walked to the department for the signature from the department's officer. On the way back to the lab, I just couldn't help but pick up my G2 and started to take pictures.
It was the first time that I really used my G2 to take pictures outside during the day time. So, I was still not able to cotrol it quite well. Some pictures were too bright. I could see it from the LCD when press half away of the shutter, but I just couldn't adjust it to the right brightness that I wanted. 
Anyway, the conclusion is that I do NEED practice!!

Today, after the committee meeting, I finally "officially" become a doctoral candidate. I finally achieve the stage of ABD, All-about-dissertation….It's weird, thought. Where is my feeling of happiness??Am I waiting for this moment for a long time???I do not feel excited; even not feel happy at all, just a bit of relief…Man….~I shall enjoy this happy moment. After all, I have done a lot to reach this far, right?Maybe I worry too much?Maybe I'm overwhelmed?Maybe this feeling is just more than happy? So, I am not as happy as I expected?? It should be something else that I should feel it, but I am not…?

I made another practice of night shot again. 
Today it snows hardly here. Everywhere is covered white. 
I took a couple of picture from the window with the high value of ISO and shutter speech priority.
Here come the product:

It's been quite a while not updating my blog. It's not easy to motivate myself after taking a battle. I've submitted my answer for the qualifying one day right before Thanksgiving. Of course, I did have a nice rest during Thanksgiving break. It's happy to know that I've smoothly passed it. That's surely a great relief to me. :)
After the exam, I decided to pick up my camera again, and start to learn how to take good pictures and how to nicely make a good a use of my G2. 
I started from taking my hyperactive fishes and took a couple of shot at night sight of the campus right out from my window. 
Moving fish (I should have changed the water before taking the pictures for them.... yes, I'm a lazy bone =.=    )

Afterthoughts:
I was happy that I am finally able to take clear pictures of moving fishes.  They don't look blurry any more...:)
As to the night shot, this is the first time that I feel I have potential to be an armature photographer... :)
