Honestly, i am very enjoy in this sem. although there are somethings which made me not really happy happened among "friendship".

Tomorrow, i will leave Sydney and go back "home"- HK - Heha~~, i am quite looking forward to because i can see my "lovely" doggy Coco...i really miss her so much and i think she misses me too (i hope so =.=")

Surgery...=.="

There should be some "handsome" downstairs...=.="

Coco is Back...Watch Out...!!

Yesterday, when i chat with my parents through IDD, my mum told me that Coco did a surgery few weeks ago. Oh My God...what's happen?...

As you've kept watching my blog, you should know that Coco is already 8 years old. I am not saying that her health is going bad, she's still very healthy and cheery. But her teeth, started to have problems. She did a teeth surgery when she was 6 years old. She had two decayed teeth which are the two molars. Therefore, she had to go to the pet dental to remove those molars. The dentist told us that we have to keep her teeth clean by cleaning her teeth everyday using toothbrush and toothpaste. Otherwise, she will lost her teeth easily as time go pass.

So we kept cleaning her teeth everyday since then. Unfortunately, she had decayed teeth again few weeks ago. And this time, she lost another two molars. What's a poor girl @.@...

***So, to all of you who have dog(s), remember, Clean their teeth everyday.!!***

Virtual Friends - Critique

Have you ever tried to make friends from the Internet?

Before the internet era, people usually make friends through some "social meetings" or introduced by other friends...they usually had dinner and parties together and they usually meet each other face to face.

However, since the development of the internet, people started to meet others by sitting in front of the computer, chatting with other through ICQ, MSN, Yahoo! Messager or some other chatrooms. They start to meet friends virtually. Today, i went to my favourite to search some of the postes... and this post is quite interesting which is the "Meet Your Virtual Friends". It is one of the post in the "The Thinking Blog".

According to this post:

"Online discussions sometimes result in exchanging emails. We start developing something that can be called 'friendship' and many times we start feeling there is some higher level of connection. Be it similar views, similar personalities or familiar life situations, sometimes these 'friendships' also develop because we are learning something new from each other. Learning from each other is a big aspect of blogging and I feel most people are blogging because they do like meeting like minded people."

In fact, i quite agree with this idea. It's because since the development of internet, blogging is one of the good way to meet more people from other countries. Through the blogs, you can know more about the bloggers and sometimes you can learn from them. Not only receiving the ideas, you can also reply them by submitting your comments. If the bloggers or other agree or disagree with what you said, they will keep replying. Therefore, you can have a good chance to meet more people and learn more.

In my experience, when i started to use internet around 10 years ago, i would like to use ICQ to chat with others. ICQ is a very good tool to connect with the world. You can add someone from other countries like USA, UK, German or some local people. When i firstly use ICQ, i just chat with my friends who have also connected to the internet. But as time go pass, someone from other countries started to add me. Therefore, i have to learn and use English to chat with them.

As i remember, the first foreigner who added me was a girl from London. She was a student too. So, when we saw each other online in ICQ, we started chatting. The topic was usually about our lives in our country. Therefore, i knew more about England culture without went there directly. I am really glad to meet her. Unfortunately, i lost contact with her when i turned to use MSN...=.="... It's my good experience to meet friend from the net.

However, when i used ICQ for longer time, i found that some people who added you were actually cheating. Why i said they were cheating is because, for example, some of them will act as girls but in fact they were boys and some of them were actually telling lies to deceive money. Luckily, i didn't get into their traps. Therefore, after i knew that many people using internet to cheat others, i started not to add others who i don't know. Although i lose a chance to know people from other countries, i prefer protecting myself as to avoid any cheating happened.

Finally, i hope all of you guys can be more careful in meeting friends from the Internet. Be more careful when you try to add someone who you don't know in ICQ or MSN~ ^.^...Using Blog instead of them~haha~

"Total lunar eclipse" - 月全蝕~

Can you see the difference between this three photos?

This week, i let Coco to take a rest, i'm not going to talk about her...~

On this Tuesday night (28/8), there was a big news in Sydney or even in the world...What's that news?...haha...that's the "Total Lunar Eclipse". The previous ""Total Lunar Eclipse" was in 2000. Actually, i knew this news before Tuesday. So when i got home after a little shopping in Westfield, i immediately had dinner and took bath. But after i finished everything, it's already 8pm...So i took my lovely Camera out, set the Tripod in the backyard of my house and waited for this "memorable" moment.

But when i look at the moon, it already turned in "Orange-Red" color. Therefore, i took the photos at once (see the first photo. i took that at 8:15pm). I was really excited and i phoned Ms. Da to ask her to look at this. Coz, the scene was really very beautiful!! (Huh~~ Do you agree?). In fact, that's my first time to see the "Total Lunar Eclipse". A few minutes later, my other 4 house-mates came to the backyard as well. We sat, chatted and laughed under the moon in the backyard together. Haha...the whole backyard immediately fulled of fun.

I watched for this "eclipse" for 90 mins and i took many photos (I wanna watch more longer time, but i couldn't, coz i still haven't finished Ros's assignment which due the next day...=.="). In this 90 mins, i could see that the moon was firstly in "Orange-Red", as time went pass, it became darker and darker (see the 2nd photo). An hour later, the moon is totally covered by the sun and i phoned Da again. (Unfortunately, She didn't pick up my call...). Few minutes later, i saw there was some bright light at the edge of the moon. That's mean, the moon is coming out and the whole process was coming to the end. *She finally called me back but you know, she missed the wonderful scene...@.@...Do you know, the next "Total lunar eclipse" will happen in 4 years later (10/12/2011 11:45pm Aus time).

Anyway, i was very happy to have this chance to watch this "eclipse". Some of my friends and even my dad asked me about this and i told them i did watch, they were all very jealous. Coz, the weather in HK was really bad, raining and Thunderstorms. They couldn't even see the moon...What a shame~~~ =.="... Doesn't matter lol, see the 3 photos in this blog as a compensation....hahaha...^.^v

*Haha...no worries, i have already got the wonderful photos, so in fact you didn't miss any moment. V^o^V...

Do you know what i mean?

A sexy pose...

Do you know what i mean?...Yes, i do...!

Doggy knows what you are talking about!...Why i say that is because Coco knows what my family and i said...! Sometimes, when she has been being naughty, for example, she pissed on the sofa or she made something broken, and i told my dad about that (because she scares of my dad), she seemed knowing that i was talking about her. She would just find somewhere to hide herself as to avoid my dad's punishment.

Also, when we were talking about food in "Cantonese", such as rice, veges or biscuits, she would come to us, shaking her little tail. Because she thought that we would give her something to eat. What a smart and silly dog...~~ XD...

But one thing which i find Coco really knows is she can read our face expression. When you are happy and smile, she will do something which makes you want to play with her. For example, she will give you her toys and ask you do the "throw and fetch". Then she will become happy too. On the other hand, when you feel upset and not smile on that day, she will just keep silent and keep away from you. As i remember around 2 years ago, there was a short period which i found really depressed and extremely down. (coz there was something happened with my family). I didn't smile, talk and even play with Coco. I used to lock myself in the bedroom.

During that period, Coco seemed to know that i wasn't that happy. So, she barked less, not being naughty. One day, she scratched on my door and just like knocking my door. Therefore, i opened the door and she just came in and sat on my knees. I remember her face (eyes) expression was just telling me that she wanna know what's going on with me. So, i embraced her and started to talk to her. She didn't resist me and let me embraced her until i finished my long talk. I told her my what made me down..babababa, so on and so on. After my long talk, she licked my hand, my cheeks and acting like a spoiled child. At that moment, i was really touching...Although she can't speak, her action really made me feel warm. She was my really good "listener"...

So, after that period, if i feel down or upset/have secrets want to share, i will talk with her. Coz i know that she won't feel i am bore and can keep my secrets.

*hahaha...if anyone wanna know my secrets, try asking Coco...XDDDDDDD

Beautiful = Willful ?

The part that i like the most of Coco - Her pair of Eyes

What do you think of a "beautiful girl"?...Cool, stubborn, with absolute self-confidence, strong self-esteem? According to my own "Beauty Observation" theory, i agree that most of the beauties have the above conditions...

Why i said that is because in my view, Coco is an extremely beautiful female Schnauzer. She has a pair of big and spherical eyes, long eyelash which is a very feminine trait, a very "model liked" body shape, 4 beautiful shape legs,glossy hair...Although she is now 8 years old, but she still looks like a cute baby...

Her temperament is very like a "beautiful girl". She has a very fastuous and obstinate nature. For example, if you want her to do something like "Sit" or "Give hand", but she hasn't got a good "mood", she won't listen to your "orders". She will just keep sleeping or she'll simply walk away without looking at you. Ok, you will ask that why don't i give her some snacks or punishments as to attract or force her to follow my orders?...but i can say, i tried that before and it doesn't always work. Because, she is not that easy to be yielded and she has her own thought. If she doesn't want to do that, no one can force or lure her by gain. She's that stubborn!!

In my opinion, i don't mind she has this nature. Oppositely, i am glad that she has this nature. Because having own through and will not be easily lured by gain is very charming! To have this stubborn nature, it means that you won't be easily attracted by beneficial offer. You know what you need, what you want to be, what you want to have and no one can change you thought in such an easy way... "The more beautiful she is, the more willful she will be..."
