應景一下：

- 看了 31 本書。 比去年少兩本。 要加油啊！
- I moved.
- 第一次去 Barcelona。 看 Gaudi 的建築。 西班牙 tapas 好吃！
- 第一次做 yoga。 結果連做五個多月。
- 去了海邊 17 次。 七月和八月時密集去 12 次。
- 收到自己印的書。
- 看到自己在電影 2012 裡而且不只一個鏡頭。
- 第一次看到柯裕棻。 去座談會。
- 在台灣開車。
- 擁有第一台 iPod，開始聽 podcasts。
- 看很多 Scrubs。 特別喜歡每次結尾的「所以這件事要告訴我們的是…」。
2009 is full of surprises！
Bienvenue 2010 ~ ♥
architect: Richard Rogers
OMG!!! Richard Rogers, the Richard Rogers who designed Lloyd’s in London, UK and Las Arenas in Barcelona, Spain! What a thrill!
How long does it take for a person to recover from some mistakes? If it is a simple mistake, people could just say one or two swear words and move on. But what if, what if it is a much more serious mistake? How long should we stay in the blaming-ourselves mode? Life is about trial-and-error learning. But sometimes the matter is about life and death. A simple decision, such as, what to eat for lunch, could sometimes turn out to be a disaster. If a decision that affects hundreds, thousands, and millions of people turns out to be a failure, how long are you going to kick yourself? Or maybe the thing is, we should learn from the mistake and move on.
I guess in school, your grades are like your revenue. All those projects are your businesses. If you fail your projects (businesses), you lost. I made a bad decision in terms of understanding what the project is about. I thought I understood it, but it turned out my interpretation of the project is wrong looking at other classmates’ presentations. I am having problems understanding teachers’ project requirement sometimes. It is scary. When you do not understand what is going on, how do you act on it? On the other hand, isn’t life like this? Isn’t business world like this? You can never be certain of everything and you can never have all the information you need in order to make a decision. That is what critical thinking is about. Based on what you know, you do your due diligence, make a decision, and take a leap of faith.
What should I do next time?
School is a simulation of life and business world. Trial-and-error learning is part of life and business world. We can’t always know everything before we jump. Sometimes matters are life-and-death. We just need to learn from it and move on. This is my brainstorming and reflection of what happened.
I had an interesting day today. Sort of.
昨天大概晚上十一點半去睡覺，早上三點不知為何大醒，起來打報告，早上四點又想睡，只好回去睡。 然後早上十點醒來，繼續做報告。 下午是跑去百貨公司找 tartar sauce，沒有。 買了台產 cheesecake，I gotta say，台產的還是有股雞蛋糕的味道，那 texture and taste 就是不像溫哥華的。 Balsamic vinegar 好貴，沒買。
回來晚飯後看了電影 Cloudy with a chance of meatballs，很可愛喔！ 然後地震，搖很大，大到我又考慮逃不逃。 然後看了電影 2012，有我耶有我耶！
我在 2:19:41 和 2:20:03 (這裡有四秒)。 在那黑人警衛前面，我穿黑褲，灰外套，白 t-shirt，站在那位腳受傷的西藏人右手邊。
那個札門阿，船艙門阿，都是用保麗龍做的，可是看起來都好真實。 還有札門打開時的橘色太陽光，其實是兩大盞工業用燈，熱的很。 站在前面幾秒鐘，臉就好像被曬傷一樣痛。
關於拍2012，請看以前的《當好萊塢明星的日子》。
“If there’s something you know you can do, whether it’s intubating a patient or…copping a squat on the roof, and your mind keeps throwing up roadblocks, just know you can drive right through ‘em.” — Scrubs, s3e13.
我們不都是這樣。 努力把自己的不快樂一壓再壓縮小到可以用真空包裝小袋裝進去，確認不會漏餡後，小心翼翼的安置心裡最底層，掛上微笑，走出去。
Other than the photographer, can people really tell which beach this photo is taken at? Probably not. But somehow, in the photographer’s mind, she is willing to believe it’s different from all other beaches she’s been to as if every beach has its own uniqueness and characters.
