Get Your Popcorn Ready!

If you love scoring, they've got it. If you appreciate a great defensive stand, you'll find it here. Terrific teamwork is in abundance. Clutch shots, fantastic dimes, thunderous jams, slick steals and brilliant play-calling take place every night on the floor. If you miss a game, you might miss something amazing.

NBA - where amazing happens. Just started it today. Must see their games. Must shout and scream for them. Must love them!!

Jeffrey's NBA watching list:

1. The most wanna watch team: Boston Celtics.

Reasons:
The big three - KG, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen. They are definitely ready to rock!

2. Teams I would like to watch if they are on: Miami Heat, Pheonix Suns, Orlando Magic and San Antonio Spurs.

Reasons:
Heat - Only if Dwayne Wade is healthy. Wondering if Penny Hardaway could assist Shaq well ( Penny and Shaq playing as teammates in Florida 13 years later.)

Suns - Steve Nash and Grant Hill, two of my favorite. See how fast they can play.

Magic - Are you kidding? How could you not see how Dwight Howard torturing his opponents by jumping so high?

Spurs - their goal is the back-to-back this season. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili will fight their way up to the championship.


Get Your Popcorn Ready. Find your buddies to watch NBA together. They will rock your socks off!

[Music] Secret of My Heart

In case you guys have no idea who Mai Kuraki (倉木麻衣，1982年10月28日生まれ。) is, I'm introducing one of my favorite JP songs - Secret of My Heart here.

Performed by Mai Kuraki in 2000. Mai has a great voice and she also works on lyrics for her own songs. She was one of 平成歌姬。（平成三大歌姬：倉木麻衣，宇多田光 ＆ 濱崎步）

This song was also applied as one of Detective Conan's (名偵探柯南) theme songs. Maybe you had had heard it when you watched Conan. Check it out. ☆



Secret of My Heart

作曲:大野愛果.編曲:Cybersound.歌詞:倉木麻衣

什麼樣的言語會改變
你所傳達的
經過那多少個季節
雖然經過了街道
你總是在身旁笑著
我也說不出口的事也還剩下一個

Secret of my heart 毫無疑問地
因為只有少許的未來
真實是緊握在手中的
I can't say 只要再一些 I'm waiting for a chance.

這樣平靜的時間
再讓它繫在一起吧
看到的全好恐怖
慢慢遠離的步伐
你的另一面是什麼
破壞它　保護它　更加靠近它

Secret of my heart 我已經了解
誰都有想逃的時候
只有那時是什麼都還沒開始
I can't stay 絕對的 I'm calling for a chance.

Can I tell the truth? 那句話所說的　感到空轉的唇
Feeling in my heart 無法隱藏　這就是全部 'Cause I love you.
I will be with you. Whenever you are. Can you feel my heart?

Can't you see, you're my dream 什麼也不會失去
最重要的是和你共度的時光
相信絕不放棄
I just wanna say 再也不迷惑

Can't you see, you're my heart 做怎樣的東西
輕易就壞了　當那天來到
雖然還沒到　無論何時都不會改變
Secret of my heart. Our future is forever...

Souvenir

朋友S數月前的US論文報告之行，說帶回來一個紀念品給我。我一直以為是一張CD，前天收到時才發現我誤解了，原來是在DC（Wahington D.C.）買的禮物，不是CD。 ＠＠

A White House bookmark, very cool. 是一張白宮形狀的書籤。剛好欠書籤，可以好好地利用一下。希望不會很快就褪色或掉漆。岡溫。

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

這張白宮書籤讓我想到前幾天看到的新聞，某記者訪問新聞局局長謝志偉。

記者：你這樣做這個這個，不會覺得是在作白工嗎？

謝：『坐白宮』是美國總統在坐的，我們不能坐。

我聽了這段，忍不住地笑了。時常妙語如珠的新聞局局長，真是厲害，我非常佩服。呵呵。

Talk To My Hand

After some intensive workings on studying in one afternoon last week, I was so exhausted. I decided to get a cup of black coffee and chocolate from 7-11.

I walked toward 7-11 with my i-pod shuffle on. In the corner of the street, one young guy was standing there. When I passed him, he seemed to wanna ask me something with a piece of paper. ''Excuse m...'' I stopped him from talking with my one hand up without saying anything.

He had sensed my hand gesture seriously meant ''STOP TALKING, whatever freaking it is'' and shut up immediately. Then I was gone. I didn't even place a glance at this poor guy cuz I was going into near-coma status if I didn't get some rest and coffee real quick.

Dude, sorry for scaring the crap out of you. I felt awful. So.. just talk to my hand.

Bikes Workout

昨天要出發去台中參加2007 Jazz Festival前，收到了前幾天訂的貨，一台英國Body Sculpture臥式健身車。

最近望著自己日漸臃腫的小腹與日漸鬆弛的屁肌，覺得越發不可收拾，平均一～二週才打一次的週六老人慢速籃球，消耗的熱量遠不足以與平常吃進去的熱量相比（運動消耗之熱量，已達到量小可忽略）。所以家裡決定買一台健身腳踏車。聽完Jazz Festival回到家裡，趕緊把重達50Kg的箱子連拖帶拉，弄到3樓，就迫不及待開始拼裝起來。

國小時拼裝樂高積木以後，就再也沒有組裝甚麼大型複雜的物品過。一堆金屬鋼管（？），一陀螺絲、線路，真是個重量級的物品，說明書上也說：可能需要兩人以上組裝。午夜12點，找不到幫手，所以一個人還是很努力地在1.5 hrs內把健身車組好。

因此，今天晚上，就一邊看最新的Private Practice，Grey's Anatomy與Bones一邊騎車，達到了流汗與運動時維持心跳數120以上的效果。臥式腳踏車的好處，就是增加了背部支撐，不會讓人容易腰酸背痛，又可以一邊看書或看影片，運動與看影片的結合，也變成了一種享受（更容易多工作業），可以讓人騎得更久更遠（有用里程表在計算的話），增加運動量。

看來能重拾我健美小腿大腿與有彈性健美的Barkley屁股時日已不遠矣... 嘿嘿嘿～嘿嘿嘿～（搖晃）

B-E-E-P

I was watching Bones season 2 Episode 10. This episode about story of headless witch was kinda thrilling. Like, movies so scary that you end up peeing your pants.

Then in the middle of the show, agent Booth was investigating a victim's girlfriend who was checked back in psych ward. Background music is rising. Getting nervous. The girl was going to get freaking out. B-E-E-P. B-E-E-P. There came a text message, loud and clear. Darn, it suddenly scared me a little (without peeing my pants).

Best advice: turn your cell phone into silent mode when you are watching something scary. Or it might be bad for your health.

Oh, and by the way, I definitely love DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN (A.K.A. ''Bones'').

徵昏啟事

[Tony Parker & Eva Longoria]

朋友S晚上打手機給我，當時我正要準備去洗澡，就這樣被硬生生地打斷脫衣連續動作。為了要告訴我她的blog文章密碼，因為她自己改了慣用的密碼，怕我看不到文章。好吧，這樣讓我這個『偽 ‧星海羅盤』受寵若驚。不過，因為 doctor-patient confidentiality，Uh，不是，是私人隱私不能透露太多。

但是S，妳寫這種東西會讓我想起我以前不好的回憶啊，真是夭壽。說老實話，我的不是感情事件，但是也是有某種情感所在。而這種事，如同我所說：發生了這事不見得不是好事，雖然還是會難過.....

S，為了鼓勵妳重新振作，就幫妳在我的blog徵求男性一名，這樣對妳夠意思吧？是不是～～～是不是啊～～～（搖晃）

各位有志青年若對這位 USA Tulane大學 博士候選人有意的話，請排隊報名。也請各位不要爭先恐後彼此踐踏，謝謝各位合作。

[串聯] NBA LIVE 08

[Gilbert Arenas A.K.A. Agent Zero) / Washington Wizards #0]

呼呼，一年update一次的Game - NBA Live 2008，終於又快上市了。

從在SFC（超級任天堂）的Live 9x開始，玩到PC版，後來玩到PS2，現在又玩回PC版覺得才是王道啊！這遊戲我可是年年必玩！強力推薦！而且千萬不要忘記加上一支至少八鈕的 joystick才能操縱自如！（我個人喜愛用 Logitech的 joystick。）

PC版將於10/30上市，期待期待....

EA SPORTS, it's the game! HAVE FUN & GOOD LUCK!!

Doogie Howser, who?

NameThatDisease.com - Test your disease knowledge



NameThatDrug.com - Test your drug knowledge

I have no idea who that is before I played the games. Seems Doogie is a genius teenage MD from a popular US TV show ''Doogie Howser, M.D.'' during 1989-1993.

Anyways, test yourself. Have Fun!

[Music] Buttons

Reason I present you this because, they are HOT, and SEXY. The song was performed by Pussycat Dolls by 2006, featuring Snoop Dogg.

The song is also provocative. And it gets the people going! One of the disco anthems. Damn, I missed disco.

Keep Moving Foward - Meet The Robinsons

Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...
And curiosity keeps leading up down new paths.

Walt Disney

I watched ''Meet the Robinsons'' last Sunday. Wow, it's definitely the best animation of this year! It's about science, future world, love, family, and friendship. All in one. Absolutely fantastic!

It's creative and touching (The time machine part reminds me of Doraemon). I didn't expect it too much before watching cuz I thought it's just another Disney animation talking about future stuff. I was wrong. It totally rocks. Inventive and fun! The Robinsons' family is so great. They are not afraid that you fail. They even encourage you to fail! And you learn from the failure you made.

Keep moving forward. That's the way to succeed. I LOVE this anim!!!

Judge Joke

從某論壇看到，來源已不可考。
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

有位法官,死後到了地獄 。

他很不服的對撒旦說:”我當法官一生沒有收過紅包,為什麼我要下地獄?”

撒旦說:”因為你判案子時不公正,沒有明察秋毫,主觀意識太強,常將無罪的人判有罪,將有罪的人判無罪.量刑不公,因此要下地獄”

法官不服的說:”那為什麼我家隔壁的醫生可以上天堂?他也出過好幾件醫療事故啊,賠過錢,也坐過牢.”

撒旦說:”醫生犯錯之後,賠過錢,也坐過牢,他已經受過懲罰,贖過罪,因此可以上天堂.而你當法官的,亂判案子,什麼責任也沒有,不需受任何懲罰,不需賠償金錢.照樣領高薪,領退休金.你不下地獄受罰,能贖罪嗎?!”

[Act Now!] Stand with the Burmese Protesters

[Source: AVAAZ.org]

After decades of military dictatorship, the people of Burma are rising – and they need our help. Marches begun by monks and nuns snowballed, bringing hundreds of thousands to the streets. Now the crackdown has begun, but the protests are spreading...

When the Burmese last marched in 1988, the military massacred thousands. If the world stands up and supports their struggle, this time they could win. We're in a race against time-- targeting the dictatorship's main backer China in a global advertising campaign, delivering the petition to the UN secretary-general and sending the Burmese our support via radio--


To Chinese President Hu Jintao and the UN Security Council:

We stand alongside the citizens of Burma in their peaceful protests. We urge you to oppose a violent crackdown on the demonstrators, and to support genuine reconciliation and democracy in Burma. We pledge to hold you accountable for any further bloodshed.


Act now to support the marchers: Here

*At this point, 532,038 are supporting the Burmese. Help it get to 1,000,000.

[賭爛] 差一點點就被A到

今天早上騎著我的摩托車出門，騎到一條小路時，一台停在馬路右邊的白色轎車車頭忽然想要左轉出來，差點撞到正在直行的我！嚇一跳！

還好即時往左一閃，沒事晃過！該死的，要轉出停車位是不會先看後視鏡有沒有車嗎？現在台灣一堆人這樣亂開車是怎麼樣？閃過後回頭一瞪（戴全罩瞪了好像也沒有用），實在很想伸出中指往後一比，但想想，算了，跟豬計較有用嗎？等下還怕豬會追上來，畢竟摩托車速度比車慢。

有時就算駕駛人（或路人）很小心、遵守交通規則，還是會遇到那種白目王八蛋亂開車或騎機車自己撞過來！真希望那種人沒事早早自己撞死，以免危害大眾安全！

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
順帶一提，最近有一個誇張的案例，實在讓我對台灣的法官素質再次搖搖頭，不知道該說甚麼。

視線死角 曳引車輾嬰無罪 (9/24)
法官的視線死角 (9/25)
前照鏡呢？ (9/25)

在屏東發生的曳引車輾斃2歲男童案，法官利用三角函數運算，算出男童所坐的嬰兒車的確是在「三角形盲點區」（死角），依此將肇事者判決無罪。

好啦，想要判決 別出心裁 是可以，但是也不能太過火與超出常理吧？！就算真的被你法官運用從前測量所學（此人以前大學讀建築系），精密算出的三角函數算出確實是死角，再怎麼說肇事者也是殺了人啊，一個孩子的生命就白白的消失了，不是嗎？難道肇事者不用負一點碾死人的責任？過失致死也不用判嗎？

台灣的法官再這樣玩下去，日子真不知道要怎麼過。 Sin, cosin and tangent不是被你拿來這樣用的啦！

我對法官的視線死角一文最後一段的結論, can't agree more：

如今，法官居然用三角函數來判定大貨車駕駛因為「視線死角」所以輾死人無罪！著實笑死人了！法官真的是不食人間煙火嗎？法官是真的活在火星嗎？法官發現三角函數是很得意、很高桿嗎？人命耶！去他的三角函數！

是啊，去他的三角函數！

Shows Addicted

Wow! I am getting so excited when I just knew there are so many great shows right on!

Grey's Anatomy season 4, Private Practice season 1, Bones season 3, Ugly Betty season 2, and House M.D. season 4. If you are still wating for them, come on! They are already on air and they are gonna get your socks rocked off.

ABC got a little winner from me. It owns Grey's Anatomy, Private practice, and Ugly Betty. FOX has House MD and Bones. It will be getting a lot busy during a week. Five shows I gotta catch up every week man! Let's rock and roll!

Private Practice

A spin-off of the medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" centering on the life of neonatal surgeon Addison Montgomery as she leaves Seattle Grace Hospital for Los Angeles in order to join a private practice.

Grey's Anatomy

This season, interns become residents. They got to lead their own interns. The relationships between interns, residents, and attendings are becoming more complicated. More exciting , more romantic and more dramatic actions are coming up in the Seattle Grace hospital.

Ugly Betty

Betty Suarez is smart, sweet and hard working. The only problem is that she's not thin and beautiful like all her coworkers at Mode, the high-fashion magazine where she works. The only reason the publisher hired her to be his son's secretary, is that he thought Betty was someone who Daniel would never sleep with. Betty's hard work and determination earns Daniel's respect, as she helps him find his way through the shark infested waters of the fashion industry. Ugly Betty is based on a Columbian telenovela "Yo Soy Betty La Fea".

Bones

DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who works at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington, DC, and writes novels as a sideline. When the standard methods of identifying a body are useless - when the remains are so badly decomposed, burned or destroyed that CSI gives up - law enforcement (FBI agent Booth) calls in Brennan for her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim's bones.

House M.D.

The series follows the life of anti-social, pain killer addict, witty and arrogant medical doctor Gregory House with only half a muscle in his right leg. He and his team of medical doctors try to cure very ill ordinary people and save lives.


They are all really cool shows and must see. If you have your own list, don't be hesitate to share it with me.

[Prison break, Desperate Housewives, Lost and Heroes : they are good, but not good enough to get me watch them every week. Rather watch a whole season at a time. So I'll wait.]
