August 12 When You Taught Me How To Dance - Katie Melua (Miss Potter)When you taught me how to dance
Years ago, with misty eyes, Every step and silent glance, Every move, a sweet surprise. Someone must have taught you well, To beguile and to entrance, For that night you cast your spell, And you taught me how to dance. Like reflections in a lake I recall what went before. As I give, I’ll learn to take, And will be alone no more Other lights may light my way I may even find romance; But I won’t forget that night When you taught me how to dance Cold winds blow, but up on those hills you’ll find me And I know you’re walking right behind me, When you taught me how to dance Years ago, with misty eyes, Every step and silent glance, Every move, a sweet surprise. Someone must have taught you well, To beguile and to entrance, For that night you cast your spell, And you taught me how to dance. And you taught me how to dance. August 04 Wish You Were Here - Kate Voegele (One Tree Hill)Gone away are the golden days
Just a page in my diary So here I am a utopian citizen I'm still convinced There's no such thing as idealism Memories they're following me like a shadow now And I'm dreamin' Cause I've already suffered the fever of disbelief I've seen your act And I know all the facts I'm still in love with who I wish you were It ain't hard to see Who you are underneath I'm still in love with who I wish you were And I wish you were here I was true as the sky is blue I couldn't soon say the same for you So now I find denial in my eyes I'm mesmerized by the picture that's in my mind Tell me when I'll finally see your shallow heart For what it is 'Cause I don't want to keep on believin' in illusions No no no Cause I've seen your act And I know all the facts I'm still in love with who I wish you were It ain't hard to see Who you are underneath I'm still in love with who I wish you were I wish you were here Sometimes I can't explain And I'm so sorry that I can't I'll try to concentrate On your true identity Cause I've seen your act And I know all the facts I'm still in love with who I wish you were It ain't hard to see Who you are underneath I'm still in love with who I wish you were I've seen your act And I know all the facts I'm still in love with who I wish you were It ain't hard to see Who you are underneath I'm still in love with who I wish you were I wish you were here... Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I wish you were here... Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh I wish you were here... I wish you were here... I wish you were here... August 02 Adele - Hometown GloryEnglish soul singer Adele is one of the UK's biggest new names of 2008
This song 'Hometown Glory' was her very first single
It is also included in her debut album "19" released this year
Coincidentally it has been ranked number 19 in the UK Top 40 Singles last week when I first heard it:)
I've been walking in the same way as I did
Missing all the cracks in the pavement And tutting my heel and strutting my feet "Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I could call?" "No and thank you, please Madam. I ain't lost, just wandering" Round my hometown Memories are fresh Round my hometown Ooh the people I've met Are the wonders of my world Are the wonders of my world Are the wonders of this world Are the wonders of my world I like it in the city when the air is so thick and opaque I love to see everybody in short skirts, shorts and shades I like it in the city when two worlds collide You get the people and the government Everybody taking different sides Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit Shows that we are united Shows that we ain't gonna take it Shows that we ain't gonna stand shit Shows that we are united Round my hometown Memories are fresh Round my hometown Ooh the people I've met (Doo/Oh/Yeah adlibs) Are the wonders of my world Are the wonders of my world Are the wonders of this world Are the wonders of my world Of my world - yeah Of my world Of my world - yeah August 01 DanceThis year's Edinburgh International Festival is coming back from 8 August 2008
I have to see it for the first time and may be the last time
And I was just fascinated by this photo from Deca Dance 2008
Which reminds me the dance in the movie
Save the Last Dance
So much like its closing pose
It's also a movie I like^_^

July 09 PortugalBecause of a conference, I had a chance to go to Portugal for nearly a week
When I was sitting in my friend's car on the way to the airport
I was not excited but nervous for the unpredictable coming trip all by my own:(
Far beyond my expectation it turned out to be an enjoyable journey^_^
I took BA return flights, which were even cheaper than KLM
But both the outbound and inbound flights from London Heathrow were delayed by over an hour
I only know the reason for the delay of my leaving flight from London to Lisbon
It was because we were so lucky that George Bush happened to arrive in the airport at the same time for his holiday in UK
After two and half hours' flight we were finally landing on the earth of Portugal
 Even inside the airport I could feel the heat from outside
After more than half an hour's waiting did I manage to walk out of the airport with all my luggage
I was lucky
compared with people complaining about the chaotic luggage control of the airport online
compared with my friends with experiences of lost or delayed luggage with BA before
and compared with my friend who was also attending the conference received his luggage after two days of arrival
It was overcasting for rain when I arrived, the only cloudy day during my stay there
There was a long queue for a taxi outside the airport
My destination was Estoril, a bit too far for a taxi
And the best way to get to Estoril from Lisbon was said to be on the picturesque train ride along the coast
So, 3 euros for an AeroBus ticket from Airport to the terminal Cais do Sodré in the city center
and 1.65 euros for a train ticket from there to Estoril (same price to the terminal Cascais) which was really cheap
It was already late and dark when I arrived at Estoril
I met my friend and his friends there and went for dinner in a Chinese restaurant called "Guang Hua" together
The restaurant was nicely decorated with stylish red colors
It was already ten o'clock but customers were still continuously coming in, a big difference from Glasgow
A satisfactory meal only cost 8 euros per person:)
When I arrived at the hotel I booked, it was already after 11pm
But I was told that the hotel was overbooked and I had been transferred to another hotel:0
It was late, and the hotel looked new and nice although it's only 3 star (I did my homework
)I asked the receptionist to double check if there was any available room on that night or for the following days
But only got a straight 'no':(
He might think I was so ungrateful
For he emphatically mentioned the hotel I'd been transferred to was 4 star
I was sent to the second hotel by a free taxi paid by the first hotel
It is much bigger than the first one, looked GRANDIOSE
But the only thing I cared about was to crawl to my bed ASAP
 The receptionists didn't seem to know about my transfer
But after a short discussion they decided to take me in
I am so grateful even now
For the hotel was so new, clean and nice which made me feel just as much comfortable and relaxed as at home
Only until when I showed off my satisfying hotel to my friend, believing my 4 star was much better than his
Even had a balcony with a lovely view
He found that it is a 5 STAR
 So much like the ceiling of the lobby
Could not hide my pleased smile:)
The grand exterior appearance of the hotel
Facing the Atlantic Ocean
Post office in Estoril where I sent out my postcards, with a red sign featuring a galloping white horse
To be continued ...
Day 1
MORNING: Conference registration and opening ceremony, held in Estoril Conference Center (ECC)
AFTERNOON: Cabo da Roca, the most westerly point of mainland Europe
First, we were short of time
Secondly, we didn't know there's a bus no. 403 going to Cabo da Roca directly from Cascais
Thirdly, the receptionist in my hotel told us that it only took around 10 minutes by taxi to get there
We took a taxi which got us there after at least twenty minutes and cost around 13 euros
We asked the driver to wait for us and he seemed happy to stay
But as soon as we learnt that there's a bus available hourly and taxi's waiting costs money
We dismissed him right away and another 4 euros gone already
Why could we find out the existence of bus so quickly?
Because the first thing my friend did right after he got out of that taxi was to
Go to the tourism office to get a certificate as a proof of his having been there^_^
The place "where the land ends and the sea begins"
Protuguese: "Onde a terra acaba e o mar começa"
There are two kinds of certificate provided
5 euros and 10 euros
We chose the cheaper one
Some interesting special succulent plants
All over the ground
Ticket price for the bus back to Cascais was 2.6 euros per person
Journey time approx. 40 minutes
EVENING: Cascais
The bus 403 just stops behind this shopping mall, which opens until 11pm
Lovely trees beacause of that lovely little greenish house
Typical Portuguese mosaic street and ceramic tile wall
Aren't those trees like huge pineapples?
 A place used to be a fish market
Had our dinner beneath the giant umbrella on the left hand side of the outside standing waiter in black
Starters, a mix of seafood served with rice, two bottles of water, and live Euro football match show, 2 persons, 26 euros
The Samsung LCD TVs seemed popular in hotels and restaurants in Portugal
Cause I had a paper to present first in the first session at the conference the next morning
We headed back early when it's just started getting dark at about 9pm
To be continued ... :)
June 27 Portuguese visa application in ManchesterThere are only two Portuguese Embassies in UK
One is in London, the other is in Manchester
Applicants should go to the Embassy and submit their application documents IN PERSON
No application by post is accepted
People living in Scotland should go to the Embassy in Manchester
To get my Portuguese visa for attending the OMAE conference in Estoril
I had to go to Manchester
Before going to the Embassy in Manchester you need to make an appoinment by email or fax
If you have to apply to the Embassy in London then you need to make an appointment by phone in advance which costs about £1 per minute
The appointment management of the Embassy in Manchester was chaotic
First I was told there was no appointment available before my planned travel date
After I explained how important this conference was to me
I was answered right away on the same day but a Friday evening that my appointment would be on the next Monday morning
I was really grateful for their humanity and flexibility but how could I prepare all the required documents all of a sudden over two non-working days:(
I explained and asked for another appointment date and generously they offered me one
But confusingly a few days later an email came and offered me another appointment date again
Then I was totally lost
But finally we agreed on a morning appointment date which means I needed to get up fairly early to catch up a train from Glasgow to Manchester which took nearly 4 hours
It was a little difficult to find the Embassy according to the google map until you've found it
Actually it's right on the Portland street and facing the Piccadilly Garden
The Embassy is located in the building behind the statues across the road
Here is the building
On the second floor, behind the second window from right was seated the consulate officer while the applicant was behind the third window
I don't know what the place is in the picture below even now, but I had spent nearly the whole afternoon there before my leaving
Just sitting there, soaking myself in the sun
Watching people passing by
And enjoying the purely no-thinking moment, except music . . .
This was an unknown building on my way which reminded me of a similar one located in the similar position on the Huai Hai Road in Shanghai
Had sushi buffet for lunch in the nearby China Town, 40% off the regular price £7.8 during lunch time which was not bad (If I remember correctly, the name of the Japanese style restaurant was Wasabi)
A long tiring day ended after 16 hours
BTW1: It's the first time I've known that people from Macao change their passports in Portuguese Embassy which means their passports are still issued by Portugal not China :0
BTW2: I had got my passport with visa issued back by post after 3 working days which was pretty quick

April 09 heading for Bournemouth Because there came a news saying that there were 1p sale tickets on a website
Because Bournemouth was one of the few places available for choice at that time
Because it's a place within UK and doesn't need visa for visiting
Because 10th Apr. was the only date available for booking
So, 6 return tickets from Glasgow to Bournemouth for tomorrow were bought
By that time, none of us even knew where it is
Only because it's SO SO SO CHEAP, JUST 2P PER RETURN TICKET!
Fortunately, it's said "seven miles of golden sands and seaside attractions have helped Bournemouth win the best beach in the UK award"
Unexpectedly, it's on the southernmost edge of England
What attracts me most is the Bournemouth Eye
Having got my supervisor's approval for one day leave
Having checked in online
Having booked Taxi
Having shopped in TESCO
Having cooked tea eggs
Bournemouth, we are ready to come!^_^
April 08 love I don't just love you.

September 28 golf球场锄地归来最初对高尔夫的概念就停留在两个词：
贵族运动
老虎伍兹
最近距离的亲密接触也只不过是每次在陆家嘴附近坐车时看到的那个围在大网里的练习场
不过也就远观一下而已
从未想过会和自己有什么关系
到了Glasgow才知道原来高尔夫就源自苏格兰的St. Andrews
接着就听说去高尔夫球场打球有多便宜
又接着听说在体育用品商店里一支球杆最便宜的价格居然竟只有几镑
连老公都开始心动说是否可以给他带个球杆回去玩玩
然后就在某个无聊的周末
实在没有有聊的节目可看时
在室友的简单解说下
看起了苏格兰公开赛
先是在Loch Lomond举行的一场
偶们在那附近吃过好几次烧烤
所以倍感亲切
结果到办公室一聊
居然师兄夫妇有一天就在那看球
不过居然就在场外跟着看球都只跟了半天就走不动了
用偶门外汉的眼光看
也觉得这小小的球打起来实在不用费什么功夫
只是这每杆之间走起来的距离实在有点远
相对于他们挥杆那点运动量怎么能走得动啊：0
不过，真是验了那句老话：看人挥杆不腰疼啊
因为朋友有了一次被邀请玩高尔夫的机会
真正体验了一把高尔夫的乐趣
关键发现它还不贵
连偶们这些穷学生也能承担得起
于是每到周末一有机会就试图鼓动偶们一起去
终于在离开前，成功地把偶们都勾搭去了
啥也没准备
披上外套，穿上皮鞋，两手一插就出门了
钻进了朋友的车
在大西路一直开
终于就到了那个朋友时常念叨却并不那么起眼的训练场
因为这里到处都是草皮
要不说实在看不出来
服务台也不起眼
100个球6.5镑
两个人合着打也得一个小时
球杆可自带也可像偶们一样借
一支也就1镑
挥杆区域分上下两层
为了视野开阔
偶们去了楼上
瞧那草坪上星罗棋布的
不是鹅蛋也不是鸟粪
而是golf球
教练也没有
杆还不知道怎么握
就连据说是高手的师弟
一杆挥出去
球还纹丝不动呆在原地
笑得捧起肚子，自己却也更不敢出手了
他也乖乖地观摩起旁边老爷爷的挥杆动作去了
不过看那双脚在地上辗来辗去调位置
手上握着杆对着球左比划右比划地实在难产
而带偶们去的夫妇俩已经是挥杆好球连连了
偶终于耐不住也硬着头皮赶鸭子上架了
不打不要紧
一打才知道这小小的球长长的杆挥起来有多费劲
而且先不说距离远近了
费了老大的劲
结果连弧线都没有就这么直直地哧溜出去了：（
偶这还算好的
看到偶身体斜前方的那块挡板了吧
寓意深刻啊
不止一个人直接让球撞墙弹射出去了。 。。 。。。
功力都不小
还好偶只是漏了三两次球而已
用师弟的话说
杆都快挥出去了，人也转了360度，可球还在那
当然他也没好到哪去
瞧那拼命三郎的样（不好意思先斩后奏用了肖像^_^）
使尽浑身力气
只落得个咚咚咚砸楼板的动静
这块毯子也实在是寓意深刻啊
当然高手打球草皮也都会掀起来
不过别人的球至少都飞得远啊
偶们费了老大劲锄了半天地
可这球还是不争气地就是赖在自家门口不肯走
还左右乱飞管不了方向
这头上汗也出了，腰也酸了，手还磨疼了，就是不见有多大长进，实在窝火
不过瞧瞧隔壁的小朋友
拿着儿童杆有模有样比划着
倒是很有意思
看来golf在苏格兰实在是一项再大众化不过的平民运动了
难怪车子从市区往外开出去
只要有大片的平地，多半就能见到golf球场和三两个拉着球桶的人
连游乐场里也会辟出块区域弄点小山小水小景给人推杆玩
不过这挥起杆来费劲扒拉的样
估计就是从前苏格兰人耕地无聊时发明出来的玩意
纯粹joking
 不过下次还去继续锄地
偶们还打算一起办张会员卡
那就6镑100个球还再附送20个球了
连师兄都跃跃欲试这周末就想去一试身手了
大家一起锄地去吧！^_^
September 12 宝贝秀突然发现，自己似乎从来都是一个比别人慢半拍的人
思前想后，估计从呱呱坠地之时起就已经学会了磨蹭
据老妈说，她当时按预产期去医院的时候，医生根本不相信她是快要生产的人，肚子根本还不很大
进了幼儿园，因为出生月份的限制，眼巴巴看着同学们都升上了大班，自己却在中班留守又一年
到了小学开始要写作业了，别家的孩子都早早上床睡觉了，就偶还埋头在灯下对着方格子里的字擦了写、写了擦，本子上擦出了一个又一个窟窿眼儿还不罢休，估计当时在一旁打毛衣的老妈心里不定有多着急
也因为此，每次放学前都因为偶不能及时交课堂作业而害得全班一起等偶，还好这只持续到小学二年级，真得感谢耐心的老师和同学
进了中学才发现自己的作业速度还是很慢，原来同桌在小学就因为排山倒海的回家作业而练就了一手三支笔写字的本事，害得偶牺牲了初一一整年的课间加午休休息时间才赶上她的作业速度，不过还是很感激小学班主任老师留给偶们的无忧无虑的童年，从小学三年级开始，每次爸妈下班回家时，偶都已经做完作业在跳皮筋儿了
高中三年，中心任务当然是高考了，由于本校不提倡题海战术，而外校考来的同桌却已是身经百战，所以偶一直只有望其项背的份，往往是一本习题册，别人已做掉大半本，偶还在开头挣扎，这个劣势是一直没能扭转过来：（
还好有惊无险进了大学，没了考大学的紧箍咒，这四年过得最是逍遥自在，临时抱佛脚倒也能应付，于是骑着一书包的书去自习教室的半道上就能被那家路边的小书店给勾进去，捧着砖头厚的小说站到教室打铃关门大家纷纷回宿舍
大二大三该准备考研了，老妈催，好朋友看不下去了也叨咕，可偶还是自顾自贪玩，等同学读研，偶去上班，等同学毕业上班，偶才又回学校重拾课本
于是，晚一步，步步晚，别人上班偶上学，别人结婚偶恋爱，别人生子偶结婚，别人兴高采烈秀着宝宝粉扑扑可爱无敌小脸蛋高谈阔论育儿经时，偶还在酸不溜丢贴着自己老不咔嚓装嫰的脸，惭愧至极啊
 所以决定来个亲朋好友宝贝秀，姑且叫它宝贝欢乐大本营吧
 偶也是一时兴起，贴出的还没征得过宝贝们的爸爸妈妈的同意就先斩后奏了，如果有意见的话尽管支一声，没贴出的愿意的话赶紧给偶发近照，也好让大家早早见面认识一下  现在宝贝秀正式开始
老公妹妹的宝贝女儿史书涵，生日2006年8月7日，浙江舟山
MSC同事Ally的宝贝女儿郭子睿，生日2006年5月4日，上海

 September 01 HOPE for the BEST, PLAN for the WORST早上出门前为午饭和室友的讨论：
Me：中午只有虾，带根黄瓜吧？
Flatmate：办公室冰箱里还有两截以前剩下的，只是不知道坏了没有
 Me：PLAN for the WORST......HOPE for the BEST——带一根吧！
HOPE for the BEST, PLAN for the WORST
这句话刚好是前一晚看《BOURNE ULTIMATUM》里听到的一句台词，虽然出自坏蛋之口，但却不失为一种应对生活大小诸事的积极生活态度
November 03 Disney on Ice in SECC这个演出记得在上海的时候就看到过大型的宣传
当时没去
就像当初在上海的时候也看到过关于River Dance的宣传
也没去
倒是来这之后都去看了
而且都是在SECC
也许是这里的生活太贫乏了吧
需要点调味剂
 从市中心去SECC只有坐火车相对方便些
但也只是相对而已
下了火车得走一条长长的通道跨过高速公路
一想到这条长通道就头大
 两个凑热闹去的大姑娘
因为到了那才发现
观众基本不是小孩子就是家长
让偶想到了自己曾经的六一儿童节
不过也没她们这么幸运
打扮得如此花枝招展^_^
洋娃娃原型^_^
很多都是按Disney动画片里的人物打扮的
这里面有个白雪公主
喜欢这条小裙子
 这个就如小公主
小男孩们就比较郁闷了
没有那么多行头
灰姑娘里变出南瓜车的女巫婆婆
也算近距离接触了一把^_^
October 30 BBC Proms in the Park这个活动据说每年都有
票是免费的
主页上找到电话号码
打过去预定就行
会直接寄到家里
每人最多申请6张票
偶没好意思要到限额数
就开口要了4张^_^
这活动似乎还挺受欢迎
很快网上就显示所有票已预定一空了
9月4号
天公作美
是个好天气^_^
进门处每人还得到一个大袋子
里面除节目单外居然还有一次性雨衣、雨帽
似乎用不到
 回头瞅瞅
热情的工作人员在招手呢
 本以为这是个烟火晚会
结果是个露天音乐会
走到场中央才了解why一路上都是大包小包的人们
原来都是有备而来的啊
不光带了御寒的厚外套
还有毯子
甚至折叠椅
偶们这两手空空的
只能用薄薄的雨衣席地而坐了
当然也有和偶们一样失算的
不过别人绝对不会忘的是drinks
最有趣的还是那位坐独脚椅的老爷爷
要偶坐这个
保准得紧张得抽筋不可
 真是好功夫啊^_^
广播里正在示意大家一起欢呼
原来老外也会做秀哦
最悠闲的还是这一对
喝着小酒
吃着零嘴
读着报纸
好不惬意^_^
演出终于开始。。。
其实那一段时间电视里天天在放BBC Proms
从来遇到这样的台都是立刻跳掉的
真想不通自己干吗挨冻挨饿挨渴在这受这份罪
于是中场休息的时候
偶们终于忍不住当了回逃兵
一场高雅音乐会之行就终结在Casino的老虎机前
看着口袋里的所有现金20p、20p地掉到0
