離開的原因

若有人再問，別搖擺不定，就請記得你離開的原因，記得走出去的原因。

不是他們不好，而是他們太好了。感恩厚愛。

I'm freezing.......

实在是……可以再冷一点吗？zzzz
这个冬天几乎很长气……温度一直维持在12度以下。


:(((((((


成天坐在寒冷的窗户前温书和写作业……我担心我的膝盖以后会得风湿。
-_-"

咋办？

放羊和砍材的故事

第一集 
你是砍柴的，他是放羊的，你和他聊了一天，他的羊吃饱了，你的柴呢？
砍柴的陪不起放羊的…
 ——请放弃你的无效社交！


第二集 
砍柴人陪放羊人聊了一天，表面上他一无所获，但是砍柴人通过放羊人聊天，知道了哪个山的柴多， 哪个山的路好走，哪个山布满荆棘，第二天收获多多回家了。
——沟通很重要…找对人少走弯路更重要！





偶尔，花一点时间和牧羊人培养感情吧。:)))
“偶然值林叟，谈笑无还期”你或许会得到一些意想不到的收获。

“湖中焉得更有此人！”

Life's little surprises.

... when you don't feel the need to fill up the silence. :)

对与错

用佛法的角度思维这个坚持的决定的对错与否。
请记得随喜自己的正确抉择和后来长远善的果报。
当下的小苦，却能带来现世及未来世不少的大乐……这一切是值得的。

感恩。

Interesting analogies

hahahha.. I really got to record this down somewhere cos these food analogies are so true!!!



Vegetable War (Loo, 2017) to substantiate arguments 
:: "找不同的菜來打架", "菜不新鲜，为什么？因为菜是坏的、因为菜变蓝色、因为菜不是青色". (Just for analogy purposes, the evidence are rubbish/fallacies' errors)

== To substantiate an argument, you need to have different references (supporting evidence/examples) to support that one argument.

Using the main ingredient in a dish (Liu, 2017) so that the argument in the paper retains its main flavour (before swapping ingredients)
:: "if carbonara doesn't have ham, or aglio olio doesn't have garlic, it wouldn't be that dish anymore"

== The need to use classic examples and references to substantiate argument, before delving into subsequent viewpoints or examples. For instance, the need to mention Pavlov when mentioning classical conditioning.

Italian vs French recipes (Anderson, 2017) to find the correct methodology under the big methodologies umbrella
:: To understand cuisine in general, we look at Stewart. But if I need to know more about French or Italian cuisine, I need to look for Ramsay or Yan (names aren't authentic, only for illustration purposes).

== To understand methodologies in general, we look at O'Toole. But if I need to know more about case study or mixed-method, I need to look for Yin or Johnson & Onwuegbuzie. 

Refrying noodles / fusion food (Loo, 2017) to present the gist of article
:: "You look at other people work and add salt or vinegar or twist it into from Chinese noodle to Italian pasta" and "so basically you don't cook noodle from scratch" and "Soon it will taste nice if you find the right texture and type of noodle" (Loo, 2017) and "need to do noodle tasting now before can decide which noodle" (Liu, 2017)

== To look through the various topics, decide on which topic, before proposing new viewpoints to enhance the essence of the original topic.




hahah... foodies through and through. =P

Deja vu.. again...

.. of reading that same line over again, processing, and rephrasing it as I write it down.
The same angle, the same hat, and a familiar angle of which I placed my writing paper.


Reading Choo's HCA and CCA paper (at pg 14/21) at 12.20am and doing my notes..

文字与感悟

其实，我一向来不喜欢日战时期/上海作为故事背景的故事。
但是，这部《伪装者》还让我从头看到了尾，也或许因为这故事一大部分都讲述了间谍的故事，所以我才看得下去。

较年轻时看着类型的戏，感触并非那么深，只知道，不喜欢这种杀戮的‘题材’。如今，也当然依旧不喜欢这‘题材’，但是却懂得去理解它、去理解我们的历史、理解他们的奋斗、牺牲。中华语文每字都代表深奥的含义，只有深入解析才能欣赏我们自己文化精髓。“生离死别”虽然是个“普通”不过的表达，但是，年龄以及对于历史时代背景的稍微了解，加深我对这个表达以往表层的认知，如今得到更深切的感悟。动荡的年代，每一次别离都是一种“生离死别”，不知道何时才会再与对方相见，甚至不再相见。

这个年代不算“动荡”，但是危机不乏。通讯发达，减少了人们对这种朝不保夕的危机意识。每个地方、时间都死因不乏，只不过人们活在看似安全的年代。更令人费解的是，即使现在的科技通讯多么发达，少了‘生离死别’的情况，但是在你的隔壁的同事或者家人，却因为科技显得‘远隔天涯’。人们一旦没了手机就立即能感受到‘生离死别’的境界。



而且，身处另一个环境，也让我对不同表达有更贴切的理解。身临其境，感怀身受，让我更加欣赏文字的美。就连自己经历过的事情，也让我对某些情绪于心里有更深切的触动（1说的话还是对的）。“绿肥红瘦”、“天与云与山与水，上下一白”、“白茫茫”、“天地一色”、“crashing waves”、“惊涛骇浪”、“山峦起伏”、“点点星空”等——以往听闻的文字，更显其优美。天大地大，人类的渺小越发明显。



这些珍贵的“感悟”，切珍惜。
