My last exam results were out just now.
I really thought I failed one particular module and would have to go back to ANU to take a summer course.
But I'm so lucky to get a pass for it.
so, I'm done.
Finally.
But what's next?

Last supper
This is my last supper in Singapore.
I didn't have something very special, instead, I had the dish that I probably had for my lunch/dinner most of the time when I'm at hall - chicken rice.
I wouldn't say this chicken rice is the best in Singapore, but the taste is not too bad, when comparing to other food in hall!
And it's cheap! S$2.50 plus a free soup. Actually sometimes the soup was the real motivation for me to have the chicken rice!
Most importantly, the auntie in the stall is very nice.
I know my sisters will be very shocked when they see this photo coz I don't eat bean spouts. Yes, I still don't eat them, especially when I see heaps on them on top of the rice!!! yuck!!
But they didn't use bean spouts until these 2 weeks, I really don't know why.. they used to use my favourite bak choy (小棠菜) all the time!!
Anyway.. I'm almost packed for tomorrow. I'm very tired now since I only slept for 1 hour last night. I'd better get some sleep now.
I'll probably write some more posts about my life in Singapore later when I'm back to Hong Kong. But for the time being, I'll be away until at least Dec 23.

Just laugh
Haven't had a good laugh for a very long time.
Although I still have lots of stuff to pack, I still let myself sit down and watch some funny videos which I don't usually watch. I had a great time!! And I suddenly realized that I really haven't been laughing for a very very long time already.
If you also need a laugh, here you go:

Leave the Kangaroos alone!!!
When will you people have enough experiments or testing on the animals??? Now even on their FARTS??? Is there anything better to do???
To stop global warming, the best way is to do it from yourself!! Drive less, don't use air-con, give back more spaces to other residence in the world - trees and animals, and even stop those experiments would also help! Anything would be fine BUT to stop cattle and sheep from farting 'harmful' gas!!
Eco-friendly kangaroo farts could help global warming: scientists
SYDNEY (AFP) — Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in a bid to cut the emission of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, researchers say.
Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence contains no methane and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who emit large quantities of the harmful gas.
While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack pushing out carbon dioxide, livestock passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries.
"Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep," said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government.
"And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, they're actually up around 50 percent," he told AFP.
Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.
"Not only would they not produce the methane, they would actually get something like 10 to 15 percent more energy out of the feed they are eating," said Klieve.
Even farmers who laugh at the idea of environmentally friendly kangaroo farts say that's nothing to joke about, particularly given the devastating drought Australia is suffering.
"In a tight year like a drought situation, 15 percent would be a considerable sum," said farmer Michael Mitton.
But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.
Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos.
The idea is controversial, but about 20 percent of health conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already.
"It's low in fat, it's got high protein levels it's very clean in the sense that basically it's the ultimate free range animal," said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales's institute of environmental studies.
"It doesn't get drenched, it doesn't get vaccinated, it utilizes food right across the landscape, it moves around to where the food is good, so yes, it's a good food."
It might take a while for kangaroos to become popular barbecue fare, but with concern over global warming growing in the world's driest inhabited continent, Australians could soon be ready to try almost anything to cut emissions.

L and T thing
Obviously, I am not the only one who get the L and T thing wrong, or we did not?
Anyway, I am going for my holiday soon, you guys have fun with metaphor.
After my holiday, I might have to start planning for my dream life, hopefully.

生人霸死地 (Revised)
Very recently two of my friends broke up.
They had been together for 6 whole years.
I witnessed how they knew each other, how he fell for her, how he won her heart, how much they loved each other.. and how things gone worse...
She broke up with him one day, and he never expected that (well.. I would say men are usually too insensitive, even I was far away from them, I could sense that way before this happened)
One thing I didn't expect is, she has a new boyfriend soon after they broke up.
She told me that the new guy has been waiting for her for more than one year (or 2? I forgot already, not important)
He was totally lost, of course.
But one thing I think the girl did very good is that she gave him time to calm down and let go. She didn't ask "Can we be friends?"
I hate hypocrites. If you don't love him anymore, leave him alone.
If you found someone so much better than him, leave him alone, don't ask him to do this and do that for you anymore.
You thank him for helping you on your blog post, and in the next paragraph you wrote how sweet you are now with your new boyfriend. WTF is that? You must know he loved you or still loving you.
You said you will always be there for him, you will always be his friend. But you are hugging and kissing someone else at the same time. I will say "Shut the F. up and leave me alone" I were the guy.
Seriously, as a girl, I somehow understand the motive behind this. Of course it will be a perfect world to have 2 guys loving me at the same time and I am not cheating on anyone. But sorry if you are such kind of girl, I despise you. And I can surely tell that you'd never loved that guy before.
Or.. maybe just a new kind of "friendship" that I will never understand.
That's why I like what my girl friend did to her ex-bf, even though I didn't want them to break up. He is super depressed now but he still has us. I know one day he will let go as long as he doesn't get hurt from her anymore.
If this post is offending anyone, I won't be sorry coz I am just writing what I think.
