The Client
2008-03-11
Last night I shut down my computer and went to bed at around 10pm. I get used to watch TV before falling asleep. When I watched the TV program, I was attracted by the film named” The
Client” which played on BBC1. The real name of the boy, who played the title role in “The Client.”, is Brad Renfro. I just knew the 25-year-old actor Brad Renfro was found dead in his Los Angeles home after watching this film.I really like “The Client”. It’s an amazing film that I went to sleep only after it finished, even though it lasted until almost 1am and I was deadly sleepy.
The main idea of the story is: A street-wise kid, Mark Sway (played by Brad Renfro), sees the suicide of Jerome Clifford, a prominent Louisiana lawyer, whose current client is Barry 'The Blade' Muldano, a Mafia hit-man. Before Jerome shoots himself, he tells Mark where the body of Senator Boyd Boyette is buried. Mark escapes, and Clifford shoots himself. Mark is found at the scene, and both the FBI and the Mafia quickly realize that Mark probably knows more than he says. Mark decides he needs a lawyer, and goes looking for one. He finds Reggie Love, who also becomes convinced that Mark knows more than he says, but Mark isn't talking......Fun Stuff quoted from The Client (1994) Lawyer's Secretary: Where are your parents?
Mark: Where are yours?
Lawyer's Secretary: Are you even injured?
Mark: Do I look injured?
Lawyer's Secretary: Well, we only do injuries.
Mark: Well, I'll just go get hit by a truck and come back.
Reggie: I have been sober for three years.
Mark: Yeah right, that's what all the drunks say, how they're gonna get sober and all. They even say they love you but they don't. And then they come home wasted and beat on you and your mother so bad that you gotta hit 'em in the face with a baseball bat!
Reggie: You're talkin' about your daddy aren't you?
Mark: Yeah, well, I got rid of him. When me and my mom went into court to by our divource our lawyer SUCKED as usual, so I went up there and told the judge myself about all the beatin's, about how he made us sleep in the street. And that's when my father became my ex-father, and now I got you, and you're a drunk and a bad lawyer too! So now I'm gettin' rid of you, you're fired, okay?
Mark: Thanks Rev. Roy, you've been a real pain in the ass.
Roy: Thank you, son. I can assure you, you have been an even larger pain in the ass.
Reggie: [upon seeing Mark's Led Zeppelin t-shirt] You like Led Zeppelin?
Mark: Yeah. Do YOU like Led Zeppelin?
Reggie: Oh, sure. They were a great band.
Reggie: I bet you've never even heard of Led Zeppelin. I bet you're just one of them grown ups who just pretends to like really cool bands just to get close to little punks like me.
Reggie: Well, I think we've covered just about everything...
Mark: Ok, what's you're favorite Led Zeppelin song?
Reggie: um... Moby Dick, live version. Bitchin' drum solo.
Reggie: You've been lyin' to me. You got three to tell me the truth, 1... 2... 3...
Mark: YOU'RE THE LIAR! KEEP THE DOLLAR! YOU'RE FIRED!

随便说说
2008-03-10
最近小梁忙论文的事情,不能拉他外出,每逢休息天,都闷在家里,除了偶尔出去shopping一下,也没有其他的活动,这样的日子已经好久了,实在是闷啊。
这段日子虽然呆在家里,可是也没有好好读书,也没有好好学英文。唯一让自己还有点成就感的就是编了一个软件,虽然不是工作范围内,但也算是工作上可以用的东西。工作了差不多一年,相对于其他的同事来说,我的成绩实在是少。这次编的软件,Leader还是蛮喜欢的,有人欣赏,总是让人开心d,我也算没有白费功夫了。最可惜是版权费恐怕争取不了,因为又不是什么大作,我都不知道怎么开口要。不过如果Leader能为我争取版权费或者奖励金,那就更好了,这样我的付出也能得到回报啊。毕竟这是我私人时间的作品啊!
下午我们包了饺子吃,上次小梁弄的水煎饺很好吃,金黄色的皮脆脆的,香香的。这次我们再弄一次。可惜没有上次那个水准了,不过还算可以啦。
今天好像吃了好多肉,算一算,两个人吃了三分之一的烤鸡,35个饺子,喝了半只火鸡腿褒的汤,搞到现在都有点腻了。
很快就过了一天,明天又上班了,休了一天又要上班,真不过瘾。
洗碗的时候,小梁无端端讲到我带饭回Office的事情,说“带两个饭盒回去,拿4磅回来给我交房租”,天天带饭盒回去吃午饭还不够,连晚饭也叫我带饭盒,真是过分。

This week I...
2008-03-01
Did some shopping in the Stratford shopping centre
Cooked 4 meals
Have worked for 46 hours
Have spent 10 hours on traveling
Almost be moved by strong wind twice.
Listened to MP3 everyday on the way to work
Read some free newspaper on the way to work
Watched the BBC news for two nights
Watched the films which downloaded from Internet
Asked LG to wash bowls after dinner for once this week
And he got angry for doing the wash
Did some VB program
Read some others’ blogs
Thought about blogging and blogged
Did some washingAnd!
Sleep
I didn’t do anything awesome or amazing! But I am so tired that I don’t want to do anything or think anything. The only thing I want to do is keep my eyes closed and take a restful sleep, without dreams.

Earthquake happened
2008-02-27
The biggest earthquake in the UK for nearly 25 years has shaken homes across much of the country. The tremor was felt just before 0100GMT.
I didn’t know that until colleague Wendy told me that news this morning. The epicenter of the 5.2 magnitude quake was near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire. It’s very far from London. I can’t feel any shaking. According to the BBC news, there were no reports of anyone being injured seriously.
Luckily, we both are safe too.
************
Today,I worked the late shift. Our secretary asked us what we wanted to eat for dinner as usual. There is no chef cook for us. She just orders the delivery for those who work the late shift.
How especial this service is! I think there are no other companies offering this kind of service here. Let me tell you something more. We also have many choices for dinner. We can choose Chinese food, Italian food, Indian food, English food and so on. Sometimes we choose Chinese food. Sometimes we choose others. Sometimes we choose both, just like tonight. We can eat Pizza or Chinese Food.

好郁闷啊
2008-02-22
昨天一个人上晚班,赛事比较晚才结束,搞到所有的工作也很迟才可以做,等所有的事情都完成之后,已经比正常的下班时间拖迟了差不多一个小时,回到家也差不多12点了。
最惨的是半夜醒来,突然想起有一个report做错了一些东西,虽然只是没有delete那几条空行,只是格式上的错误,并没有影响到数据,可是我知道今天leader不会放过我的,肯定又责备我的。搞到我心慌意乱,睡得不是很好。我已经很小心了,为什么还是犯错呢?好郁闷啊!!!!!!
最讨厌上晚班了,差不多每次上晚班,都要拖迟很久才可以下班,而且犯错的机会也大多数在晚上;还要等很久,车才来;而且每次上晚班,都不能和小梁一起吃饭。唉,真得很不想上晚班啊!可是生活就是这样无奈!
今晚又要上晚班了。

You will when you believe
2008-02-21
The fourth series of The X Factor was won by Leon Jackson,the 18-year-old shop boy from West Lothian, Scotland,on 15 December 2007. I really love this song.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x3ruq7_leon-jackson-the-x-factor-when-you_musicLeon Jackson - When You Believe Lyrics
Many nights we pray
With no proof anyone could hear
In our heart’s a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there’s much to fear
We were moving mountains long before we knew we couldThere can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope frail, it’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will…
You will when you believeEasy to despair,
When all you hear is fear and lies
Easy just to run and hide,
Too frightened to begin
But if we dare to dare
Don’t wait for answers from the skies
Each of us can look inside
And hear this song withinThere can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope frail, it’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will…
You will when you believeThey don’t always happen when you ask
And it’s easy to give in to your fear
But when you’re blinded by your faith
Can’t see your way clear through the rain
A small but still resilient voice,
Says hope is very near(There can be miracles, when you believe)
Though hope is frail, it’s hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will…
(Now you will)
And now you will
You will when you believeYou will when you believe.

在英国的第一个情人节
2008-02-16
那是2月14日的事情,
当我努力回想上一年的情人节是怎样过的时候,
当我试图在我的blog里面找回那天的记忆的时候,
我才发现,2007年里面却少了2月份的记录。
原因是因为上年的2月份,我们回广州过年了。
也就是说上一年的情人节是在广州度过的。
这样说来,才发现原来这是我在英国度过的第一个情人节!
在情人节之前,大家都在计划着怎样过,也八卦着其他人怎样过。
我也免不了被她们八卦。
我很了解小梁的性格,他一向没有浪漫的基因。
逢年过节都是说出去吃浪费钱,在家自己煮更好!
于是我说:没有什么特别的,可能买多点菜吧。
这次也不例外噢,事后我就更加肯定我的想法了。其实我也没有打算怎样搞作。
6点下班之后,本来是打算回家途中去一趟中国城,买半只烧鸭回家加菜!
本来打电话给小梁,刚好小梁还没有回家。
我不知道为什么,没有直接跟他说买烧鸭回去,而是问他:想出来中国城吃吗?
想不到他没有犹豫就同意了,真是感到意外!
于是我们在泗和行买了一些东西之后,我们就去找吃的。
小梁问我:想去哪里吃?
我本来就没有计划过出来吃,一时还不知道可以去哪里吃。
后来我们发现附近有一间日本饭店,外面贴着什么学生有10%的Off。
也就是因为这个10%的优惠,我们就选择了那一间,感觉有点随便,呵呵。
不过无所谓了,反正我们很少吃日本的东西。
里面还是蛮多人的,我们要去地下室。
我发现上面有些桌子放着玫瑰花,可是地下室那些没有!不公平啊!
环境也算可以,还播着日本歌。
那歌曲很熟悉,细听原来是我最喜欢的邓丽君的歌曲!不过是日语版的。
而小梁坐下脱掉大衣之后,就跟我说:
如果你不打电话过来的话,我就打算去morrison买好吃的牛排,买好吃的海鲜回去煮的啦。
你最喜欢就是讲那句“一年才一次”
呵呵, 小梁又在说我了!
你看看,他最擅长就是回家煮!我猜得没错!
下面就是我们的Valentine's Day Dinner


吃完之后,小梁总说不够饱。
不过我们也没有再点啦,因为贵啊。
我说:算不错了,也有八成饱啦,回家弄个沙律吃就足够啦。

看画展
2008-02-15
昨天,下班的时候,听到同事M说去看Part-time同事qin的画展,我也凑热闹跟着去看了。
我这个人没有特别的技能,一辈子也干过没有什么出色的事情,偏偏在我生活的圈子,倒是碰见不少有才华的人,自然也对这些才华出众的人很好奇。
画展听过不少,看得却少,这次同事qin搞起了画展来,虽然我不懂艺术,可是很想看看和了解人家是怎样搞画展的,感觉自己对搞创作的过程比看到的成品展出更有兴趣。
同事qin的画展是在伦敦中心的Asia House展出的,虽然规模不大,只有13张画,可是这些都是她的个人作品,是她一个人的展览。搞一个展览不容易,除了自己辛勤创作的作品,还要申请场地,找sponsor,摆设作品等等。她真是一个了不起的女人!
画展的主题是跟中国的革命有关的。为何在这么现代的社会,为何她这么时髦的女子会选择这样的主题,开始我也觉得很奇怪,经她解释,才明白其中原因。据她本人所说,今年是北京奥运年,是中国年,所以借此机会宣传中国文化,而外国人对中国革命时代了解的不多,所以……
有兴趣的朋友可以单击这里了解详情!最后希望她的展览举办成功!

Transport for London
2008-02-13
Today, I want to introduce something that I almost use everyday—Transport for London. It’s a very important website. You can entry into the website and have a look by clicking the name. There are so many useful information that you can search whatever about traveling in London you want, Such as the most updated service about Tube. What do I usually use it for?
Firstly, I always use it to check the service of Tube, especially the service of Central line which I take at least 2 times a day, five days a week. If the Central line suspends some stations, I must change the way to home or to my work place and I need to plan it well before I leave.
Secondly, it’s useful when you plan to go to some places that you haven’t been there before. The only thing you just need to do is inputting your postcode,or your nearest bus station or tube station and the name of the destination, then you can search the way by using Journey Planner. It will provide the details of travel, such as the time to leave, the time to arrive, the map etc. l
astly, the Oyster card (travel card, like 羊城通 in Guangzhou) can help us get around London for less and save money on a whole range of attractions, shows, museums and restaurants, so I always check the Oyster Offer. We have taken a flight on London Eye by using 2 for 1 offer which provided by Oyster Card. We also had a visit at Madame Tussauds by using the same offer.
In one word, it’s a useful website for everyone in London.
