This means we can literally FINE someone if we feel like it…. XD But then, I wonder how many overseas pilgrims actually know about this “new law” during WYD week. Maybe we’ll bump into some people annoying us afterall. At church, I heard about an “offending” t-shirt that has the map of Australia and the [ READ MORE ]

有錢不一定是好事. 有些人不懂得去省錢, 只會去花錢. 美國也特別多新聞讓藝人遺臭萬年. 我覺得 LIndsay Lohan 滿可憐的. 從小就開始拍電影. 不曉得是不是家人沒教, 跟 Paris Hilton 那種人在一起, 真的是被害得很慘….. 為他覺得可惜. 幸好 so far Daniel Radcliffe 剛十八歲, 還沒開始亂七八糟, 目前的 largest expense is on books. Hope he can keep this up. (news.com.au) Lindsay Lohan blows $8m on grog, drugs October 15, 2007 04:15am HOLLYWOOD wild-girl Lindsay Lohan is officially broke after [ READ MORE ]

早上在 radio 上聽到副省長 Anna Bligh 講有關 Level 5 Water Restriction 的事. 沒有全部聽完, 聽說跟洗澡時間有關係… 可是之後上線看 Level 5 Draft, 都沒提到洗澡時間的 restriction 呢. 最讓我注意到的是不准洗車了 = = 除非是用自己的 rainwater tank 裡面的水. 現在水塘的水位只剩21%… 真的很讓人擔心…. 以下的報導是我爸寄給我的. 說recommend大家的洗澡時間別超過四分鐘. 這樣可以省下很多水. 想起星期天, 兩個小女孩雖然不懂事, 可是洗澡開大水 (大到我們家plumbing都響了), 而且洗了二十幾分鐘都還不出來, 真的很浪費水…. 那天有點不高興. 不過事情都發生了, 也不能怎樣. 現在開始, 大家要更努力的去 save water 囉….

今天早上 Australia Zoo 有舉行 Memorial for the Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. 只發了五千張入場卷, 很多人都沒機會去, 不過有好幾個地方有現場直播. 其中一個地方就是 South Bank Piazza. 想說早上如果很多人去的話一定會塞車 :S 沒想到的是, 居然沒有塞車耶, 而且路非常的順. 交通狀況比平常還要好呢. 下班後先回家. 知道再出去…. 做了一個決定…. let’s just hope it’s the right one! 晚上電視有重播早上 Croc Hunter Memorial Service 的片段, 我只看了一點點. 比較想聽他女兒 Bindi 的致詞. 八歲小女孩, 現場在五千人面前描述他對爸爸的敬愛, 通過電視跟至少一百萬人講話. 真勇敢的小孩呢. 可惜年紀還太小了, 不可能馬上繼承他爸爸的工作. 長大後也很難說, 到時候不喜歡當鱷魚獵人怎麼辦呢? 現在只能為她們一家人祈禱&#[ READ MORE ]
為什麼中文會有兩種文字? 因為有些人覺得正體字筆劃太多了, 就發明了簡體字……. 簡化的字數雖然不多, 不過都是一些比較常用的字, 全部記錄在簡化字總表裡. 現在聯合國宣布說2008年後全部人都用簡體字…. 真糟糕ㄚ…. 含著中國歷史和傳統的正體中文字要被淘汰了…. 我們的下一代, 難道沒機會接觸繁體字了嗎? 繁體字以後要變成考古學家研究的文字嗎? ~”~ I think traditional chinese characters look a lot nicer and easier to read…. They have less “space” inside the words. The words are easier to teach as well; since each part of a word have their own meanings, children learn the words’ [ READ MORE ]
