Oh no, no no no... how could this happen? I hate you, Jorge... just when I'm just recovering from this headache/fever, too...

数学诗之美（英文版）

我妈将上回的“数学诗”派给她的学生们后，就有几个学生说了： "Teacher, I don't know Mandarin..."

说得真是可怜啊，别担心，英文版的多的是呢。这里有一堆，节录如下：

How I wish I could calculate pi.

How I like a drink, alcoholic of course,
after the heavy lectures involving quantum mechanics.

Sir, I bear a rhyme excelling
In mystic force, and magic spelling
Celestial sprites elucidate
All my own striving can’t relate
Or locate they who can cogitate
And so finally terminate.
Finis.

But a time I spent wandering in bloomy night;
Yon tower, tinkling chimewise, loftily opportune.
Out, up, and together came sudden to Sunday rite,
The one solemnly off to correct plenilune.

这里还有个超长篇的，把 Pi 的 740 个小数位都写进去了。

死亡笔记电脑

哇哦……但还真是酷毙了。全球只有三十台，绝对限量，绝对珍贵。原文

“名字被写在死亡笔记本里的人类，必死无疑”……那，用死亡笔记型电脑处理名单资料库的话……哇咧效率不就提高几百万倍了？还可以编程 bot 去自动 Google 呢……

瓜拉牛拉生态之旅 Trip to Kuala Gula

这其实已是三个星期前的事了，但当时实在是太忙了，没时间写博。不过迟到总好过没到吧？

(This was actually three weeks ago, but I was really too busy with work then and didn't had time to blog properly. Well, better late than never, right?)

瓜拉牛拉 Kuala Gula 位于霹雳州 Kerian 区，是个小渔村，同时也在 Matang 森林保护区内，并号称东南亚其中一个最重要的候鸟“驿站”。三月十、十一日，我们随着大马自然协会的旅行团来到了这里。

(Kuala Gula, a small fishing village, is situated in Kerian, Perak. It is also within the Matang Forest Reserve, and the Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary is one of the most important stops for migratory birds in South East Asia. So my husband and I joined a trip to Kuala Gula organised by the M'sian Nature Society on 10th and 11th March.)

闲话少说，去片！

(Enough of words, on with the pictures!)

瓜拉牛拉同时有着西马最大的沼泽红树森林系统，而高质量的红树木正是烧木炭的来源。所幸这里的烧炭业者及树木砍伐都由森林保护局妥善管理。这是其中一个烧炭厂：

(Kuala Gula also has the largest mangrove ecosystems in Peninsular Malaysia, and the mangrove trees here are excellent material for producing high-quality charcoals. Fortunately, the charcoal industry and logging activities here are all systematically managed by PERHILITAN. This is one of the charcoal factories.)




我的相机没那么“好料”，所以……观鸟时都拍不太清楚……

(My camera wasn't all that powerful, so I couldn't get any clear shots of the birds.)

但我们看见了海豚！四、五只吧，据说是跑进河口来找鱼吃的，但太快了，实在来不及按快门。照片反而看起来像是尼斯湖水怪……绝对、绝对不是大白鲨哦。



But we saw DOLPHINS! There were four or five of them, apparently they swim into the river mouth areas to look for fish to eat. But they were too quick for us to take any good pictures. The photos look almost like those of Nessie... but that's certainly no Jaws, ok? OK?

More on Google Themes

Well someone compiled (almost?) all the possible cutesy Google themes here. And they've even thrown in some Easter Eggs!

Google Themes

漂漂哦~~ ^o^

快疯了

想去一个远远的地方。
没有人认识我。
找一个安静的角落，静静的躺下来，静静的睡着。
然后，再也不要醒来……

Quest of the Holy Sticker: 夺贴奇兵

For those who know about my long, heart-wringing story about my hunt for the elusive car sticker...

I FINALLY GOT IT TODAY!

That's right, y'all! I'm not a student, not yet a full staff but Heck, they finally acknowledged my name as a research officer in their databases!
