The first time to see Gold Class movie in Greater Union; the first time to experience first class quality experience of film, food, and service in the cinema; the first time to watch Twilight series movie (although I read the first book after it was published). Today I was touched by movie---New Moon.

By this time’s experience, I deeply know what Gold Class is and why it is rewarded Gold Class. Actually Gold Class is far better than I thought. It features super-wide screen, comfort reclining seats, and full service. At the entrance of hall, we got well welcomed and were led to the lounge and then delivered a menu as we intended to order something. When we were ready to order, the staff quickly got what we needed and then took the money going to cashier while we just sat in the sofa no moving. Then we were told that we could go into the cinema and they will send the food to our seats later. Entering into the cinema, we were amazed by cinema design with luxuriously intimate setting even the toilet that makes us expect to come back after movieJ. Soon after we lay in the reclining sofa, our Thai cake was served by surprise kneeling service as the table is a bit low, which gets us overwhelmed by an unexpected way, but this is Gold Class as it commits to provide the best and satisfying service to customers. The movie started…..good sound and good quality screen….shortly our Gold Class sundae supreme was put on the table, very nice! Yum! There is no wonder that the movie is extremely impressive and intriguing with typical vampire love story and allegedly the movie is attracting numberless big fans to go to cinema all over the world. Here I don’t need to talk about plots and details about the movie cos I believe you know more than me if you are a fan of Twilight.

Anyway, I went straight to K-Mart to buy the third and fourth Twilight—Eclipse and Breaking Dawn after movie. I stopped buying the rest of books after I finished reading the first book of Twilight a few months ago cos I wasn’t completely fascinated by vampire story, but now I go back to love Twilight.  

A few days ago, I turned to be enraptured at once as I got the confirmed email that we will be well organised to have next march this weekend. Bushwalking has been solidly part of my life as a vital entertaining activity. I would be able to feel thirsty if it doesn't occur on some weekend for some reason. Luckily, I have dear group members who are so nice and have a lot of perfect pre-work done for each track, I just reap where one has not sown. More interestingly, every walking we achieved never disappointed us but generated more and more motivation on longer and more adventurous road to expect. Particularly last time we got very unforgettable experience although we had a bit risqué when we got a little lost how far we would get to scheduled destination at night.  You know, normally human actually fear uncertainty than physical pain. That didn't prevent us from consequent launches. In fact, good endings help create goods next beginnings.

Today I felt sky-high when I got to that start of wonderful track—Curl Curl beach. With the squeaky blue sky and blessedly mild wind, you can’t find any reason you can’t enjoy it. Along the beach road, we saw many absolutely sexy bikini girls and buffed boxer-underwear boys who shamelessly showed off their young body figures and enjoyment in getting tanned in the sunshine soaking. No wonder we felt so cooool on the onward road with lush and leafy shrubby trees on both sides, and we so pumped by seeing extraordinarily beautiful scenery when we paused at some lookouts on the way. From Curl Curl beach, passing by Dee Way, to Long Reef.  Especially standing at the top of Long Reef and watching around the ocean, distant golf lawn and rugged bush road, I had a feeling that soul vibrations that hadn’t come to me all of sudden touched me, which made me have unbelievable pleasant and refreshing. At dusk, we went ahead walking on the sands leaving lines of footprints at Collaroy until we terminated the Sands Hotel at Narrabeen where allegedly has divine foods to have our dinner. After ordering seafood plats and two pizzas that could fill to the full of our rumbling stomachs as soon as possible, we hoped we could demolish them quickly as long as they are served. Those foods didn’t disappoint us. What a mighty tasty meal!

特别不爱做饭的我，实在受不了了，从国内回来近3周，真不知吃什么，愁啊！今天鼓足勇气做了个鸡蛋豆腐，事先请教了大厨Emily小姐，她本建议我做西红柿豆腐，但咱家没有西红柿，就剩鸡蛋和一点烂葱了。先把豆腐切成三角，然后拿平底锅煎，对了，她提醒我只放少许油，然后煎啊，煎啊，盛出来；煎鸡蛋，加入做好的豆腐，放生抽、盐、糖、烂葱和少许水，完了。处女作！能吃就行，换换口味。

In these days I really don’t know what is happening on me to make some animals close to me. A possum ran and ran along rang hood in our kitchen. If you ask me how he come into our home? I would say---I dunno. Before we were away to overseas, I was pretty sure I shut down all of windows and doors, so there was no way that he got into from there, the only possible way could be from flue which has a round hole to outside but it is blinded. Whatever, he was found in our kitchen as we were back. Mystery!!!! The first day we came back Australia from holiday, I heard some sound like someone touching plastic bag for banana set in the kitchen. I told my hubby but he didn’t believe it and teased at me fuss. The next day, my husband was interrupted by hissing when he was watching TV and rushed into kitchen, and then saw an animal with long and big tail run away through a hole of wall tiles. According to the tail, we guess it would be a possum. Guess what? Form then on, I got a company with me when I was cooking, he running and running in the flue while rang hood was working. Absolutely annoying and noisy. The point is he frantically ran and ran in the still of night, which made disturbing noise. After a couple of day tolerance, I couldn’t endure it and in the second morning forced my hubby to open a door of cupboard that is something like shield of rang hood, so possum could go out from there, also open the kitchen’s window where he can make off our home, close the kitchen door to ensure him no one could see him if he wanna flee. Leaving that situation and hoping he could really ran away. Three hours later, my husband didn’t know whether the way was successful. Afterwards, as if I haven’t heard him then, although I have no idea he is dead or escaped. Hi, possum, are you out? I wish the worst thing wouldn’t happen---his dead body emanates rotten smell. There is nothing worse than that.

Today I had a terribly bad experience related to little animal. In the arvo, I felt tired and tried to drink the tea that I brewed a few minutes ago. Sipped….I squealed…you know what? I found there was something moving in my mouth, spit out, yerk, it is a spider. vomiting, definitely. I guess it might drop into the teacup from ceiling…..Should I go to HR to ask a-few-day leave cos I got traumatised at working place as Sam’s suggestion? J

What the hell do I have animal charm or possession?

I just went to see movie THIS IS IT, which is combination of rehearsal, some interviews, and backstage footage about his London concert, so it is more like a documentary movie. In the movie, I can see how he motivates people around on the stage to feel his music, how he slightly suggests music director how to understand his song and make rhythm more consist with key of the song, as well as how he tries to make fun with his working partners such as vocalist, guitars, dancers and so on. Well, his talent, passion and perfect-drive amaze everyone, attract everyone, and inspire everyone. In the movie, you can be obsessed by those remarkably magic stage designs that try to utmost reflect every music’s subject, some showing love, some showing peace and light, some showing thriller…..More importantly, you can listen to his live music, absolutely MJ’s. Doubtlessly, he is definitely KING OF POP.

I can’t say I am a big fan of MJ, but his music never got out of my growth road. Those well-known songs always make each of my cells active as long as I hear them. His music influences two generations or more even will perhaps perpetuate in the world and everlastingly impact descendants. I seldom truly admire some musician or pay attention to some singer for some reason, but I never distract from MJ’s music world. I believe I will go on listening to his music although he has passed away, the music enwinding around. As last perform of his lifelong, you can feel he is still there, his music is unbelievably amazing. It would be regretful if you miss it. The movie, THIS IS IT, this is a must see.

我们四个又聚齐了，为了我们共同的爱好---BUSHWALKING。这次我们本希望完成从THORNLEIGH TO RYDE的路程，于是分别把两辆车停在了起点和终点，因为我们好像无法完成往返。我们在TRACK中很享受，聊天，讲述各自的故事，沿途欣赏风景，乐此不疲。但走到12KM时，我们本以为快到终点了，但发现刚到LANDCOVE PARK,还有9.3KM，可已经晚上7点了（不到3：00PM出发）。苍天啊！我们傻眼了。只好叫出租车，赶到最近的一辆车停放地点，然后去取另一辆。虽然有这个小插曲，可我们很高兴，因为这么多次WALKING EXPERIENCES,这次最有FEELING OF ADVENTURE.:-)晚上我们在一家马来西亚餐厅庆祝我们最长的一次WALKING，好菜，好胃口. 对于平均年龄38岁的我们，能够这么的能走，已经很出乎意料了。Hooray!! We are proud of ourselves. Well, my most loved sparetime activity in Australia comes back. Enormously happy.

Back to Syd, back to home here, back to work, back to normal life as before......now, the past two-point-of-a-line life is back on, home-office-home, usual daily jobs back on, such as buying grocery to fill into the fridge, counting household expense, thinking and cooking what are going to be cooked for dinner after work, taking public transportation to work.....and also some things have been changed. New Train timetable has been valid for a while, so I have to catch up the train 5 minutes earlier than previous timetable, that means I have to get up 5 minutes earlier. Commuters on the train are mostly those people who used to take the same time train with me, they still take the seats they used to choose, me too, however the train turns to be more crowdedL…..now I have to sit at the office on a sunny day not like at home in China enjoying the beautiful weather, now I am being forced to get out of the past 4-week holiday mood and have to struggle with plenty of shit work.

A little surprise and adjustment have taken place. My colleagues were surprised with my refresh without glasses, they reckon I look younger like a teenager, actually I already look younger than my real age, now it is getting worse because I don't like being deemed a girl in 20s or younger. An English colleague came to speak to me, he reckoned I do have some different but terribly can't say what it is. Then he just realised after I gave him the point. He didn't say it is good or not but saying I definitely look different. No wonder they can't get used to my change on the face, me neither honestly. I often put my finger on the nose and try to lift the glasses unconsciously. This habit has been with me nearly 24 years as I was a teenager, so no doubt it will take time to forget it. I wanna mention is about my after-laser-surgery eyes that are on the second weeks after surgery, they are expected to work as doctor said that the sight would lower a little bit after surgery but it is quite normal for most of patients and need time to accommodate with new sight sensitivity and might take a while to go through a period of fluctuation. Yes, I often have double vision at the stage, so I have to spend a couple of seconds to adjust my eye focal length if I look at something. It seems that I am like an oldie that has slow reaction to see something. As far as I have heard from doctor and friends who did this kind of surgery, it will be better between a month and half a year. If fortunately, it could not happen on some patients. But not me, I would say. Another adjustment I need to say, is language environment. I have to restart to get involved in English world, TV grogram is English, working environment is English, most places are required to use English....unfortunately my language ability couldn't be recovered at the soonest, so I had slow reaction to my colleagues' asking and conversation at the first day after I was on board. Luckily I am better now and basically get back to previous level. I would rather to speak Chinese than English in China, but feel it doesn’t matter now.

I have to stop writing cos my sight is getting blurry. :-)
