【マービーリン】

会想学日语，纯粹是因为我爱日本动漫片。

课上了一堂又一堂，慢慢地学会了简单的、基本的日语见面词。

对日语，我其实是怀着即兴奋又忐忑不安的心情学。

对于它，是否会在未来助我一臂之力，心中实在没有着落。

不过，对它的热衷还在燃烧，所以我不怕被那蝌蚪般的文字击倒。

我的日文老师为我们，翻译了我们的名字。

所以，我有了一个正式的日语名字。

值得庆幸的是，它念起来，还是我的名字。

马美玲，没变。

好了。就此停笔。

马美玲

Another post on Flying Fish's blog.

Today is Tuesday.
Early in this morning, right before I fall aslept, I received a disasterous news from my friend.
I was told not to reveal anything. And yes, I promised.

She asked me for my opinions, feeling, assumptions and else..but I could hardly give her a good response cuz I was exhausted and super duper tired.

She asked me what can we do in response to the news we got. I just said nothing, because there is really nothing that we can do for now.

But deep inside my heart, I know that is the circle of life that we have to face. No matter how we want it to be, how we yearn for it, how we hope it could become true..the reality will not always in the way we expect it to be.

Sometimes, we feel sorry for someone we felt we have been sorry to them...and sometimes, we feel uncertain, scared and worried. But, despite the feeling that is swirling in our heart, the problem has to be solved, the person around have to be consoled. We have to be strong and tough and make it through..make it through the sorrow that overwhelmed us.

When let go is the only option we can choose, there's no more thing that we can argue or say about.
The only thing we can do is let it go, be peace.

As friends, we will always support you. Love ya and be tough, my friend.
Let the beloved one rest in peace.

【Happy Birthday】

It's a starter..

A new beginning with the digit 'two'..

A new responsibility n commitment to myself..

A new phase in my life...

A new n vibrant charms that sparkle all around..

Far far away..

A loving heart grows fonder

Mingling with hopes n wishes n support

Intimately warmly benignly

Linking the hearts together

【笑容和可爱】

偶尔回母校逛逛的时候，我一直都很注意身边或走或跑，又或者蹦蹦跳跳地活动着的小同学们。小孩子们嘻嘻哈哈的笑容，是成人生活中难得的调味剂。大人们或许会称它为“吵”，因为小孩子的喧闹真的很吵。但少了这个“吵”，生活又似乎变得太过安静了。人，皆是这样。

异常喧闹的食堂，满满的笑声，象征着孩子们的活力和可爱。在他们的世界里，“快乐”是显然易见的。但在成人的世界里，“笑声”被约束了。所以，“可爱”一词很少可以用得着。

今天，很难得的，我在一个二十岁的少年人身上看见了“可爱”。原来，在成人的世界中，小孩子的笑容还是见得着。

一个成人，一抹小孩子的笑容，所以我说, 他很可爱。

【My Excel's saviour】

OMG~~

When you see me saying this, it either means I'm shocked with what had happened in front of me, OR I'm surprised with what had happened in front of me.

Aha~this post is dedicated to a person who called himself Jrenter2 (gender= unknown) from United State.

The story went on in this way...

Two days ago, I faced a problem with my Microsoft Excel 2010 software as I was not able to open my excel files directly by double clicking it. But fascinatingly, I was able to open it within the excel page itself!! So, what's the problem???

Why I could't open it?? I kept on wondering while trying to search for possible solutions available in the Web.

Try imagine the situation by yourself, it's really frustrating when you kept on seeing windows popping up, telling you that the excel files you tried to open is not a valid win32 application.

What was that? What win32 application? SORRY, DUDE. NO IDEA!!!!!Arghhhh...

So, as a completely newbie to all the exe. Windows executable files, I decided to put my new notebook as the Guinea Pig to try out all the possible solutions...heart pounded like the bass drum beating faster and faster...as I key in all the commands, my brain started to play catch...how if the Windows hang out of the blue after I enter the commands?! How if all the information gone?! How if..how if....all these stuff suddenly came into my minds while I tried to figure the solution out.

'Stop that kind of thought, please!!' I told myself.

And there's it!!!My hero appeared!!!!

Jrenter2's solution WORKED after I followed all his instructions.

Oh yeah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=D

THANK YOU!!!THANK YOU!!!THANK YOU!!!!!!THANK YOU SO~~~~ MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!

Hah!!Feel relieved now!!Phew~~

note: http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/139128-cant-open-excel-file-directly/

Can't open excel files directly.

To change file associations

1. Right-click a file with the extension whose association you want to change, and then click Open With.

2. In the Open With dialog box, click the program where you want the file to open, or click Browse to locate the program that you want.

3. Select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box.

** Note ** When you set up the association, make sure to "browse" to the excel.exe file in:

WIndows XP

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\Excel.exe don't just hit Open with MS Excel.

Windows 7

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\Excel.exe don't just hit Open with MS Excel.

If the above don't work...you can try this:

Open Excel and go to: Tools/Options/General Tab, de-select the option "Ignore

other applications."

【おげんきですか？】

こんにちは　みなさん。

おげんきですか？

Yup, here I am again!

I am learning Japanese Language now. Being a totally pure beginner, I started my lesson last week with 104 hiragana scripts. With the task given by my せんせい, I got myself to memorize the hiragana script within one week as my せんせいis going to teach us another 104 katakana scripts this week. So, if i didn't memorize all the hiragana scripts by now, I would probably stuck somewhere in the middle, and become an illiterate for Japanese course. (Why do I say so? Because my みんあのにほんご textbook is purely in Japanese Language. If I don't get myself up-to-date with all the scripts, I would definitely unable to read the text. Totally illiterate!!=P)

Well...I just learnt my katakana scripts today. Not that familiar with it yet, so I'm gonna spend some time to familiarize myself with all of it. Hopefully, it would't be hard for me. Sincerely, I quite enjoy the course and I'm glad that I had learnt Chinese Language since I was young. So learning katakana doesn't seem to be a hard task for me as most of the scripts are taken from kanji i.e. Chinese words.

For example, ア (a) is taken from left part of the word 阿， and イ (i) is taken from the left part of the word 伊. So, memorizing the words will definitely become easy if I can link the word to each of the Chinese words.

Yup, when you read until here. I bet you must have been using Google Translate or other translation software to help you translating the Japanese words that I had typed out earlier on. But, at here, I would like to tell you that Google translation is not 100% right. Ahha~ here's the trick. I can guarantee that the words I wrote are correct, but somehow the translation might get it wrong. So, if you are using Google to translate it, take it easy, just read the big picture, or even just try to guess it. You will surely got it right! ~wink~; )

Well, that's all for today. じゃ、また。

【BON VOYAGE】

BON VOYAGE!!!!!

That's a French phrase borrowed into English meaning, simply means "have a good trip".

I wanna write about this phrase in my blog long time ago.

(Hmm...how long huh?..two months ago? No idea.)

I knew this phrase, but it only came into my attention when I saw one animated video with my brothers before I embarked to Australia for studies purposes.

Sincerely, I like this phrase. =D

So, when people greet me with this phrase, I would definitely say aloud:"OKAY!!!" not "THANKS". Simply because they want you to have a good trip, and you promised them by doing so.=)

【WOMEN】

It has been so long since I wrote my first page in Adelaide, a whole new city which is far far away from my home town...hmmm.around 7688 km from my country..i guess so..

I just had a glimpse through my active room-mate, Lily's blog yesterday, and I suddenly came up with an idea to write a page about women but due to my laziness to open up my notebook and type it out, I decided to postpone it until today..hehehe..exactly now that I am going to blurt it out.

Well, the topic just came out not intentionally the night after we went for shopping, hunting for clothes, shoes, and some other necessities. Laying on the cosy bed, rolling here and there, the intimate chat just went on between two girls.

"I think being a woman is very troublesome." That was how the conversation started. A prompt comment I made when I saw begs of clothes on the floor, thinking of what modern women have to do on themselves, the money that they spent on themselves.

I started to wonder whether myself is going to do the same thing in the latter day especially after I enter the work force.

When I started to think deeply, I realized that it is indeed very troublesome. From head to toes, all is money. Started from monthly facial treatment, make-up stuff, toner, moisturiser, hair-do, manicure, pedicure, body spa, to clothes, shoes, perfumes, accessories and handbags, the market for all these stuff will never get down because women are usually willing to spend the money on it. That's how Gucci, Prada, Anna Sui survive.

Thus, thinking of it seriously...to be a modern woman who has a brilliant mind, good attitude and nice appearance, the money has to be spent. But, how much should I allocate for all these things that women will do? Hundreds? Thousands? I really have no idea. But , one thing that I know is I will somehow follow the way a common woman will do in my latter day. But I guess ..I won't go for extreme, as the cost incurred is really eye-bulging.

Nah~nah~nah~learning to be a moderate 1 would be just nice, simple and yet brilliant way to be a woman.=)
