我們都知道Team Ninja的游戲可以有多好,但是這一次,我們看看版恆自己
有什麼喜歡的游戲,或者不喜歡的,其中有些較容易被你猜到.然而他對每個游戲
的評价,都是無价的.首先,听听版恆的一些忠告.

版恆:我要說的是真正想要了解電視游戲的人應該首先掌握一些傳統的游戲
例如象棋或者雙陸棋,要精通一樣.特別是雙陸棋.它的玩法是個好例子,既簡單又
有深度.我還未看到有一款電視游戲可以有比它更好的可玩性.

問:俄羅斯方塊?

答:不.電視游戲成為更受歡迎的媒體的唯一原因就是它的互動圖像和音效
還有更易于自個玩樂.但是真正想要知道游戲精髓的人們,了解它的各種形式,就
一定要精通一種傳統游戲.游戲國度里有許多游戲的深度比電視游戲要高.所以不
首先去了解基本就來討論電視游戲的可玩性是毫無意義的.

你知道有許多人老是說圖像不是重要的!那是荒謬的.這才是重點.這就
是為什麼我們制作的游戲有著出色的圖像,我們總是在嘗試做到最好的可玩性,因
為這就是電視游戲可以生存的原因.

問:要不然我們都在玩雙陸棋了

答:對!好了,現在回到主題上吧.

頭五個最喜歡的游戲(排名不分先后)

Pikmin

唯一一個我還未厭倦的游戲.兩集都很好,他們就是能令人惊訝.

賽爾達傳奇-時之笛

不再需要任何理由.大師之作,簡單與完美

Image Fight 制作商Irem 街机射擊游戲代表商

這就是回憶.如果臨死時要拿一款射擊游戲陪葬的話.我選擇它.

勇者斗惡龍2

故事情節好,游戲方法好.對于現代玩家來說它很難上手,但是任何沒玩過的
人都應該嘗試一下.

Chibi Robo 開發商 Skip

這是我現在在玩的一個游戲,我還未感到厭倦,所以它一定很好.總體來說,
它是一款可愛迷人的游戲.是我的女孩先開始玩的,一次我看到后自己也想玩了.
但是她進度比我快,她快通關了.



最討厭的五款游戲(排名不分次序...但顯然有時間順序)

鐵拳2

我再也想不出他們究竟把數字越搞越大干嘛,我也分不清楚哪個是哪個.我
不知道他們一直換湯不換葯是為了什麼,但是人們應該遠離鐵拳.沒什麼好說了.
我只是不想它們再令我失望了.很煩人.請不要再煩我了

滑鐵盧 - 第十九天 - 重複

來三個禮拜了, 午餐還是沒有重複過. Bravo.

真想知道第一次出現相同的菜單會是什麼時候.

週末要吃什麼ㄋ?

------

今天早上出門的時候已經穿了長袖加外套. 手腳還是有點冷. 看這樣子是不是十月就會開始下雪了?

------

房間好像還是沒有暖氣. 可是有個機器運轉的聲音一直嗡嗡嗡的響個不停. 本來還以為是我的電腦已經開始出現雜音, 可關掉以後聲音仍然揮之不去...

又不是暖氣.

奇妙的房間...

------

四點十一分.

睡個小覺ㄇ?

滑鐵盧 - 第十八天 - 尾聲

果然跟我 High School 同學說的一樣. 東部是會突然有一天氣溫就驟降. 防不勝防.

早上起床, 由於電腦一整晚沒關 (事實上, 好像從有 Internet 以後就沒關過) 房間裡還蠻溫暖的.

打開網站, Google 氣象寫著現在氣溫只有八度. 大概是還沒睡醒, 腦袋沒什麼在轉. 八度就八度, 怎樣了?

是說最近的確是有比較冷一點, 我剛來的時候還可以短袖短褲出門, 好像這星期就沒穿過短褲出去.

要出門去吃飯, 也沒想太多, 換上長褲就出去了.

天阿, 怎麼可以冷成這樣子. 奇妙了, 我昨天晚上出來買晚餐的時候都沒有現在這麼冷. 這個太陽是假的喔?

是真的會冷. 路上看到穿短袖的只剩我一個. 而且我是一路抖到餐廳, 再一路抖回來的.

看來, 帶來的幾件 T-Shirt 之後也都只能在家裡穿了. 九月都還沒過完耶.........



還想留住這個燦爛的夏天阿.

滑鐵盧 - 第十六天 - 大白痴

其實不是很大件事, 先從結果開始說起.

剛剛考完某堂課的第一個考試, 也是我在 Waterloo 的第一個 Written Test.

這堂課並不難, 到現在為止我也都還跟得上進度. 這考試也很簡單, 沒有意外的話大概只錯了半題一題.

問題是出在... 我只要一有把握就驕傲起來... 想把答案寫得漂亮一點, 也不知道是為了要證明什麼. 總之, 每題都寫得很慢, 以為還有很多時間. 結果最後在寫之前跳過的某一題時, 本來已經把正確答案都寫上去了, 想想, 又把它擦掉, 寫上更簡潔的答案. 結果計算出來的數字是不一樣的, 我正在想為什麼答案跟剛剛不一樣的時候, 教授就說 "剩一分鐘"... WTF!!!

...

然後我的考卷就被收走了.

走路回家的時候, 才想到少寫了一個 2! 上去...

...

這堂課因為到現在為止都很簡單, 之前四個 Assignment, 一個 Online Quiz 我也都拿滿分...

結果現在... 由於自己的天才...

-----------

呼~ 寫出來心情好多了.

其實真的沒什麼. 不過把很有把握, 又寫對的答案擦掉再換上錯的答案還真的是第一次. 而且好死不死又讓我滿分破功, 如果是破在什麼難題也就算了, 偏偏是這種鳥錯誤. 再加上這又是第一個在東部的考試.................. >< ..................

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

雖然說好的開始是成功的一半, 不過失敗也是成功的媽媽.. 就算了吧..

-----------

很難得有考試出來讓我 GY 這麼久的. 通常都是過半個小時就全都算了.

-----------

算了...

----------

"人們總是承認自己的小問題, 來掩飾自己的大問題."

這句話是誰講的?

我的問題還蠻大的. 小問題都已經承認不完了..

滑鐵盧 - 第十四天 - 一萬兩千零八十七公里

無聊到去找我離她有多遠.

滑鐵盧到台北, 一萬兩千零八十七公里.

赤道一圈是四萬零七十五公里, 所以兩人在地球上最遙遠的距離是兩萬零三十七點五公里.

一萬兩千零七十八除以兩萬零三十七點五等於零點六零二八.

才 60.28% 而已, 我逃的還不夠遠. 還差遠了. 還可以再遠一點.

------

被無從選擇的無知與恐懼所吞噬
墮落在那稱為命運的濁流之中

人們因為看不見死亡
所以才能懷抱著希望

黑闇的 Post~

滑鐵盧 - 第十三天 - Conestoga Mall

Conestoga Mall

第.. 二個星期六. 今天終於打起精神, 晃到遠一點的地方去. 我的活動範圍已經卡在宿舍跟教室之間足足十二天整了.

在下的目的地就是上面放了連結的 Conestoga Mall. 說實在, 我不認識這個奇怪的單字, 所以就去查了一下:

Conestoga., n., a large wagon with broad wheels and an arched canvas top; used by the United States pioneers to cross the prairies in the 19th century.

這樣講起來, 我第一次接觸到 Conestoga 是小學五六年級的事情.

勇者鬥惡龍四代, 第五章, 要通過布蘭卡東邊的沙漠時, 從海克特那裡取得. 很不幸的, 海克特因為某些私人因素, 已經對人類失去信心. 所以我們必須從背叛洞穴裡取得信心圖章說服他把馬車借給我們. 這人還真好騙, 我們跟他借了馬車以後從來就沒有還過. 不知道他會不會又對人類失去信心.

----------

因為走路到不了, 所以是坐公車去的. 在地圖上看起來不太遠的地方, 也坐了二十幾分鐘. 上車的時候, 投錢, 司機撕了一張票給我, 我還愣了一下.

是那種長長一條, 然後上面有寫時間, 撕下來以後會是斜斜的票...... 如果五六年前有在溫哥華坐過公車, 應該就知道我在講什麼.

因為溫哥華早改成電磁紙票, 所以好久沒拿到這東西還有點小小的感動.

然後, 剛上車我還蠻緊張的, 快半個月好久沒有以 10 km/h 以上的速度移動過了.

----------

到 Mall 裡面晃了晃, 出來的時候才發現我實在沒有買東西的天份. 本來是要買些居家用品, 結果手上提的全都是電腦用品. 連本來想要買的襪子都沒買.

水喔.

----------

25 歲, 的確是老了.

暑假受的傷竟然一直到現在還在隱隱作痛 - 接橄欖球時扭到的小指, 和, 從五公尺高跳水時拉傷的背.

尤其是那個背好像還蠻嚴重的, 看來是要去給 chiropractors 看一下了.

聽說我的好徒弟小龜已經可以用各種花式跳水, 為師很是欣慰. 不枉我努力教了你一整個暑假. 看來我是要退隱了... ^_^

Waterloo - Day 12 - Hmm.. Library Again..

Unexpected, I have ended up in DC again.

Whenever the name DC comes up, it reminds me of Dreamcast - a legendary console.

Anyways, why am I here?

Well, although my class today won't start until 1:30, I have to come handin homework by 12:00. After I've handed it in, I went lunch, and ended up here after.

Lunch was.. still crappy. How can fish steak taste like a big chunk of white wet bread...? That's.. nice..

Although I've been complain about my meals, it wasn't all that bad. Occasionally, good stuffs comes up, like the onion rings I've had yesterday (or the day before).

I'll have to say the best thing about that meal plan is that, so far, I've never had the same meal, not even once. They sure got a great variety of menus.

2 weeks, no same meal ever spawned twice. Mark.

-------

Somehow this week seems to be passing by much much faster than the last one.

That's probably a good thing - as I'm more getting used to live here, my time-sense has regressed to normal.

Or probably it's becoz of the damn internet...

Without it, time flows slowly...

And with it, flows too fast...

Anyways.

-------

I still miss her like hell. But constantly reminding myself is not a good idea, thus I'll drop it here.

-------

Friday night, eh?

I was planning to go back to Toronto this weekend, but ended up Ben has to go camping. So... Guess I'll just stay here and WoW all weekend.

-------

Parents and my sis seems to be enjoying their trip in Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale pretty well, that's ... good ...

Too bad that I can't go.

Guess.. there'll be no more chance that 4 of us going to a trip together anymore, ever. Not that I really like to go with them, but knowing that there's no more chance to go still feels.. kinda sad.

On a side note, I can't even remember when was the last time that 4 of us going to a trip together. Probably the road trip to states, I guess. That's like... 8... 9 years ago?

Odd feeling.

---------

Ken is still in Japan.. that's that..

---------

It's getting colder and colder outside. I was wearing T-shirts and shorts and I really feel kinda cold when I was outside. And it was 12:00 at noon!!

--------

Mindlessly mumbling about stuffs is also a fast way to spend time.......

Waterloo - Day 11 - No Class on Thursday

Wednesday and Friday are the busiest.

And I have no class on thursday, which is, not necessarily a good thing.

It's 3:30 already, I'm suppose to start working on my hw, but turns out i was browsing, chatting, listening to music, reading comics ... didn't even start to play games and it's 3:30 already!

That's a great example of how time can be wasted easily without any notification.

...

Anyways, I was pretty down yesterday, that's why I didn't bother to write any blogs.

It was the 88th, if we''re still together.

Couldn't believe that I'm still counting the days after so many years. And couldn't believe that I can still be so down about it.

Yesterday was a rather special occasion, usually I won't miss her that much. But somehow .. I knew it would be a long day of missing her when I opened my eye in the morning and remembered that it was the 88th.

Pure Stupidity.

Anyways. I think the feeling is fading away, and I don't think I can keep the promise any longer.

Sooner or later, I'll have to give up.

Let's hope the day comes sooner than later.

That reminds me... I may still need an SP to complete the collection..

滑鐵盧 - 第九天 - 9:45am 網路復活

知道今天早上有人要來裝網路. 昨天下午四點半就開始在家裡等了...

我知道很蠢, 但是實在沒有網路快把我搞瘋掉了.

---

網路一裝好就想下載 WoW 1.7 版.

Shit, 今天星期二, All Realm Down!!!

Nice...

---

It's still too early, and I'm too excited, will come back to blog more later.

Waterloo - Day 6 - Peaceful Day

Although I do like raining days more than sunny ones, I really don't mind a cloudy day with a couple sunshine through the clouds.

Today is a day like that.

Saturday morning, Waterloo is quieter than usual.

------

Another thing happened last night when I was on my way back home, just when I thought nothing else could have happened again.

It was cold and I was wearing shorts and slippers, so I walked faster and just wanted to get home earlier.

Friday night = Party night, so packs and packs of people are walking on the street as well.

When I was about 30m from home, another pack of people walk towarded me. To avoid them, I step my right foot out of the sidewalk.

SHIT! It was rainning all day and I have stepped into a big puddle of muds~~~~~

Even worse, since I was walking fast, my right foot has steped forward again while my slipper still stuck inside the mud!!!

So there I was, struck, with one bare foot in the mud and my slipper one step behind... Took me about 10 minutes to wash my feet and clean up the mess I've made.

Shit happens and always at the most unexpected times.

What a friday night~

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

So far... today's quiet peaceful, I'm going to do workout after library (library = internet) and if the shop still open, I'll get a hair cut.

Hopefully nothing will go wrong today~

Waterloo - Day 5 - Power Outage

My sleep hours are all messed up at this moment.

Two days ago, I slept at 5 in the morning; and yesterday, I slept at around 10pm and woke up at 5.

5? It's still pitch dark outside!

But since I couldn't sleep anymore, I was there playing my DS - Super Jump Allstar again. And if my memory serves me right, I finally got all 657 pieces at exactly 5:23. Congratulations~ one more game down, infinite more to go~

Thanks to the lack of Internet in my room, I've been playing DS a lot. Now I've completed the ONLY game I have at hand, what should I be doing afterwards?? Perhaps it's a good time to get another one... I think Advanced War DS ought to last me awhile.

But another problem is, where can I buy games? I've checked all the reachable stores and I see no signs of videogames. I'll probably have to take a bus to the closest mall in order to get one. I think there's a ... "Congested Mall" (I forgot the name) around here. I'll have to find out how to get there sooner or later.

---------

After I've gotten all the pieces, there's not much to do for the game other than playing with someone else. Somehow the AI are so DUMB, I can easily beat them on the hardest setting 1 v 3 (with some exploiting, of course).

Man, I want to play with Calvin.. or anyone with a DS... I guess it's not such a bad idea now I've joined the Gaming Club. Someone from the club must have a DS that I can play with.

---------

I fell asleep again, and woke up at around 10:30. Alright, about time to go for lunch.

My original plan for today was: Lunch, Library, Class, Workout, Library, Home, Bed.

Sounds like a good plan to me. But it turns out, other than Lucnh and Class, nothing else went smoothly.

-------

I was too early when I arrived Cafe, so I was there writing a letter to tina. I accidently stole 3 bucks from her and she insisted that I give the money back by writing a letter to her. God knows how long haven't I write a letter... It was a weird feeling to even pick up pens now that my hands are too comfortable with keyboards.

Anyways, finished the letter, finished the lunch, and I went to library trying to get some study done.

It turns out Nintendo's next console's controller has finally been revealed!!! OMG!!! This one looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally the style of Nintendo. This is such a bold move!!!!!!!!! I pay all my respect to Nintendo for daringly and willingly to adventure into the unknowns!!!

Just for the controller, Rev will be my first choice when the next gen war starts!!! (On a side note... X360 looks good too, but you HAVE to give Nintendo credits for their boldness and everything!!!

There, I ended up reading the news all about Rev's new controller, and didn't get any study done.

Well, at least I was heading to my class with an excited heart! Again, thanx to Nintendo!

(Why... was I so excited...?)

-----------

During one of my lectures, the light went out for a split second, and I wasn't paying any attention to that.

-----------

After the classes, I was heading the gym to do some exercise. Well, it turns out that there's a power outage in town, so the gym is closed. Too bad, no exercising today~~~

But as I wanted to buy some dinners and stamps (to mail the letter) on the way back home, all the stores are closed due to the outage. And when I finally got home, I realized that I got ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO AT ALL!!!

It's friday night, so it's illegal to study. I finished my only DS game this morning, so that's not an option anymore. I have some unfinished comics and Joey from my computer, but thanks to the lovely power outage, that choice is pruned as well. All the stores are closed, so going out again is useless........

Now what...?

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

I tried to get some sleep, but couldn't do it. What kinda of pig falls into sleep 4 in the afternoon?

........

NOW WHAT...?

----------

Eh. I remembered that I've picked up my DS again and start doing some silly things with it.

At around 7:00 (OMG, I been doing silly things for 3 hours straight already!!??), the power finally came back.

After I've had dinner, here I am again, at the library, for posting blogs and checking if there're anymore news on Rev.

I'll probably head home and get some sleep after this, if no more accidents occurs.

That was... my day.

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

Oh. By the way, the girl sitting next to me is weird. Everyone else in the library is talking to each other, but she INSIST on writing little notes instead of speaking. Don't know what's gotten her.

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

That's all~

MSN Messenger

I wouldn't call myself a MSN Messenger Guru, I've retired already.

The days of HP was the good old times where I try to explore all the possibilities of Messenger. I've quitted to collect all the funny Display Pictures and funny Emoticons already.

------

But it still tinkles my nerve whenever someone refers MSN Messenger as MSN.

"MSN" stands for Microsoft Network.

Messenger, short for "MSN Messenger", is an instant messaging client for Windows.

Messenger is a part of MSN, that's why it's full official name is "MSN Messenger". However, since Messenger is so popular nowadays, many people, when they mention MSN, they are often referring to the Messenger.

I believe everyone have heard sentences like these:

"My MSN is acting weird.", "I'm quitting MSN", "You know, MSN 7.5 is coming out."... and so on and so forth. Now you all know how these sentences are not making much sense.

And hearing not-making-sense-sentences is just... err... irritating...

Please, it's Messenger, or if you want to type short, type msger. MSN Messenger does not equal to MSN...

---------

Anyways, if you consider the evolutionary nature of language, this is nothing serious. Common mistakes will finally replace the correct terms. And when everyone's wrong, everyone's right.

This is just me bored out in the library and want to spit some junks outta of my guts.

---------

Disclaimer:

I've wanted to say this for a long long time, this post contains no personal opinions to anyone who've mis-used these terms. I myself probably have probably made thousands of mistakes by now.

Waterloo - Day 4 - Post Office

No class today.

Went to the Club Day and, as expected, joined Taiwanese Club and Gamer's Club.

Sorta miss my GC at this point. If only I knew that I would have no Internet for so long, I would have definitely brought my GC with me.

-------

TGS~ No Rev Controller info so far

------

Want to mail something to her, and turns out the post office is like 100 miles away from my place. It's too late to go now...

Was going back to Toronto this weekend, but if I take the cheapest bus, I can't make it back on time for Sunday's meeting, guess I'll have to skip this weekend. >< .

Power Outage notice: Friday 11:00pm to 1:00am

........

What will I be doing...?

Waterloo - Day 3 - Harvey's

OMG! I'm actually already feeling good about all this coming to Waterloo thing!!

Is it becoz of the rain...?
Is it becoz Alice called me?
Is it becoz of I finally found her last night...?

...

Thought I'll be down for like at least a month or so, but turns out I'm feeling lively about all the studying and work-overloading.

Love the feeling back that everyday feels like a long day and there are so many things to do~

------

First thing first, I couldn't sleep last night again until like 5 in the morning. Was playing DS and couldn't sleep for some reason. Glad I didn't have any classes in the morning!!

Lunch was some crappy pizza. And Ben, the main entry is not all-you-can-eat. I asked for 2nd pizza and they won't let me have it.

After my last class finished around 7pm, I went to buy water-bottle (lost my original one on campus yesterday) and also bought a t-shirt of U. Waterloo.

That's funny, I never had any T-shirt of UBC and it's only the 3rd day in Waterloo I already got one.

Lack of t-shirt is one reason, the other is that they sell their T-shirt at a bargaining price compare to UBC.

------

Facts I find out about Waterloo so far:

- It's prettier in the rain.
- It'll make a wonderful golf course if you tear down all the buildings.
- DC connects to MC, so i can go from one building to the other without going outside.
- MC is a squre.

By the way, DC is the where I'm at right now, where the library locates, and MC is where all my classes at, stands for Math & Computer.

- Profs here taught more effectively than UBC. Hmm... it might be too early to say this, but at least that's how I felt so far.

- Waterloo's online course enrollment system is a junk compare to UBC's.

Just some subjective personal opinions, don't take them seriously.

------

Due to the crappy lunch, I ended up hungry already at around like 3pm. Went to Harvey's and had one of the best fast-food burgers. Well, it's not like you can compare it with a $15 burger, but for $5, it's pretty outstanding compare to the others (MacDonald, Burger King... etc...)

Why why why don't we have Harvey's in Vancouver? It's so much better than MacDonald's. Their burger meat is juicer, tastier (I bet turtle will like the meat for sure); they have onion rings; you get to customize your burger... If I'm going to eat fast-food thereafter, I'll probably going to choose Harvey's over anything else, as long as it's around.

------

Almost 10pm and can't believe I'm still in the library. I'm tired, but happily tired.

I'm enjoying this life and I'm gonna enjoy this until some inevitable shit happens...

And as you all know, shit happens.

------

Oh ya, Birdy, Congradz for passing PMP, you rock~

------

And that concludes the day~

Waterloo - Day 2 - Big Mess

Bad news keeps rolling in.

My new building is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Apparantly, there's no phone line, no internet, no air condition... and the list goes on.

Couldn't sleep last night till 3, glad that I don't have early classes today.

------

Without Internet at home is very inconvenient since a huge chunk of course materials are online. That means I have to stay in the library all the time while it's hard enough to find a spare computer.

So much readings to do...

And it's only the first week...

Can't believe I'm complaining this... but Calculus is hard...

------

Basically, everything's still in a big mess.

Had lunch at 1, hungry already. And I'm suppose to eat only 1 meal a day. Seems utterly impossible...

------

I have no idea what i'm blogging about.

I'm in a big mess. (Mostly due to lack of Internet)

Waterloo - Day 1

Officially the first day of my life starting in Waterloo.

Gotta thank Ben for giving me a jump start. Setting up the room, driving me around, borrowing me the monitor and everything...

Without your help, I would probably still be in a panicing state. I can't even imagine how am I going to move my stuffs here all by myselves.

Thanks a lot...

------

I lives right across campus, in a small room about the size of 3 to 4 pool table with 1 single bed, 1 table and 1 bookshelf. My internet won't come until next tuesday, before that, I'll probably have to come here (DC Library) to use Internet.

I guess... I can also goto the Arcade to play online games, that is, if they have WoW..

------

This town is pretty quiet, everyone seems like a student to me. And it feels good to be back to school and enjoying the feeling that workloads and studying times are just right around the corner.

While I still having absolutely no idea where my first class is...

------

Couldn't sleep well the first night because my room's temperature is rather weird. Although I've already completely shut off the heater, it is still hot inside.

I don't want to open the window too big, coz bugs will fly in and I was afraid that it'll be too cold in the morning - I only have one tiny blanket.

Perhaps... getting a big warm blanket would be nice.

------

Here's a list of things that I still need, in the order of emergency:

- Internet
- Extension Cord
- WatCard
- Some food (my meal plan is only for lunch of monday to friday)
- Blank Paper
- Cloth Hanger
- Contact Lens
- Map of Waterloo(?)
- A fan..?
- A girlfriend...

I'm sure there's still a lot missing.. but I can't think of any at this moment.

------

Thanx turtle for letting me had one of the best summers I've ever had.

Now the summer's gone, I do hope that I'm ready for all this.

Excited.

------

And.. my new number is 519-590-7750, I wonder who called me twice 2:00 in the morning last night...

Last Blog in Van

That's.. that..

還剩兩天, 還是很閒

早上 WoW 到下午兩點.

等下要幹麻...?

------

還想再享受一下溫哥華悠閒的氣息.

星期五兩點的飛機, 十一點半開始打包應該差不多吧?

Just 2... 3 things to note about.

- Deers are nocturnal.

Really didn't know that until I visited Galiano. Was quite a surprise.

- Sharks are fish.

- Dophin and whales are mammals.

Therefore, there are shark eggs.

Wonder how they taste like...

天快亮ㄌ

看來我跟魚的緣分還蠻淺的.

空等ㄌ四個小時, 每次跟老爸去釣魚都是空手而歸, 連個魚影子都沒看到. 可我沒去的時候又看他們每次都帶一堆魚回來, 真是搞不懂.

------

在等魚的時候, 我傳ㄌ封簡訊給她. 內容翻譯成中文大概是: "我三更半夜跑出來釣魚. 好冷... 好餓... 剛剛還有隻鵝攻擊我... >< ..."

不知道其他人收到這種莫名其妙的簡訊會有什麼反應?

收到這種裝可愛的簡訊, 通常她都會半開玩笑似的安慰我. 不過不知道為什麼, 已經兩個小時了還音訊全無.

是說... 我也不是很在意啦... 這麼晚ㄌ, 安靜一點也好.

-----

今年暑假回台灣的時候, 剛好遇到她生日.

大概就是那幾天左右, 陪她出去逛街. 還記得很清楚是天母的高島屋, 然後信義的新光.

最後我大概是送ㄌ條手鍊給她.

走出百貨公司, 她突然轉頭對我露出ㄌ個狡獪的微笑, 然後把雙手伸直在我眼前晃了兩下.

我愣了一下, 然後才發現她兩隻手上帶的都是我送她的禮物.

......

我一直感動到現在.


那情景是我看過最美麗的圖畫, 最最可愛的她.

Trip of Galiano

星期日到星期二晚上的 Trip -- 跟小龜, Judy 和 Ken 跑到 Galiano Island.

原本是打算要詳細的紀錄整個 Trip. 但發現有點力不從心, 那邊有很多東西都太難用我的程度的筆墨來形容. 大概就跳著講重點好了.

首先從 Tsawwassen 出發, 坐四十分鐘的船到 Sturdy Bay. Sturdy Bay 是整座島上最繁華的地方. 用繁華這兩各字來形容好像過分了一點, 其實也就是大概四五間餐廳, 兩間小小的超市, 半座高爾夫球場, 就醬.

聽說整座島的居民只有兩三百人, 大多數我們在島上遇到的人類都是遊客. 整座島南北走向, 大約長 30 公里, 平均寬度大概是三四公里. 主要幹道只有一條兩線道的柏油路, 其他還有許多車子很難走的碎石路.

我們星期日早上抵達, 先去爬島上最高的山, Mount Galiano. 上下總共大概花了兩個多小時, 路還不算難走. 爬這座山的目的就是為了看上面的風景. 第一眼看到只有感動兩個字可以形容.


這張是我們在 Mount Galiano 山頂照的. 爬到山頂時, 雲剛好飄過來, 很清爽的感覺~

這裡應該算是第一天的高潮. 看到過最漂亮的風景就是在這各地方.


這是同一各地方, 峭壁旁的樹上. 其實樹並不高, 只是不知道為什麼那麼難爬.

我們住兩個晚上的小木屋的客廳. 這張就很有像是 Titanic 裡面女主角躺的沙發.

第二天晚上我切西瓜的樣子. 大概再過兩分鐘就切到自己手ㄌ. 現在還在痛.

這也是第二天晚上, 要去 Kayaking 之前照的. 由於光害幾乎是零, 晚上坐在 Kayake 上, 看著滿天的星光和一撥弄就會發光的湖水... It was absolutely magical...

很少到這麼接近自然的地方.. 光是感動好像不足以形容這次看到的很多東西. 有很多時候, 我們四個人都可以一句話也不講, 就安安靜靜的欣賞十幾分鐘的風景.. 真的是蠻神奇的.

明年.. 再去吧..

差點忘了提. 這次旅行最失敗的地方, 就是大家前一天興匆匆去買的肉, 放在我家冰箱.

我竟然給他忘了帶上車.............

結果我們只好在島上另外買熱狗來烤.

水喔.. 不愧是我..

(持續懺悔中)

That's right~

一平

一開始是很想講跟 Galiano Trip 有關的事情, 可是發現沒有照片幫助, 憑我的文筆實在是寫不出來, 所以最後還是決定等照片入手後再說.

然後就是今天發生的事.

我跟阿龜跑去一平比賽吃日本料理. 那間日本料理的生意實在不錯, 隨時都大排長龍.

說實在, 我已經想不起來最後一次吃 All You Can Eat 是什麼時候的事了. 大概是跟婉茜去老爺飯店的時候吧.

比賽規則很簡單, 看哪個人先投降就贏了, 速度不限, 比賽吃多, 輸的人要吃一條處理過, 燙過的苦瓜.

因為我們都很討厭吃苦瓜, 所以都很努力的不想輸.

本來該餐廳規定是兩個小時之內要吃完, 我們從六點半一直吃到九點, 老闆才硬是把 Bill 送上來要把我們趕走.

那時候已經快到塞不下去的程度了. 但還沒有人投降, 為了分出勝負, 我就提議把桌上兩杯水跟兩杯茶喝下去再說.

精采部分馬上就要來了.

我先把水喝了. 然後小龜也接著把茶喝掉. 我正在努力把肚子空出來要喝茶的時候, 只見小龜很帥氣的一把將整杯水搶來, 然後咕嚕咕嚕全喝下去.

當然我還沒有認輸, 也正在努力想要把茶喝下去.

就在這時候, 小龜突然 ---

在眾目睽睽之下, 就在餐桌上把剛喝的水吐了出來!!!

當我尚未從驚嚇中回過神來時 ---

他又吐了一整碗東西出來!!!

而且還吐到碗裝不下, 留到桌上, 留得滿桌都是!!!

我們當時坐在吧台上, 嚇得裡面的廚師也閃得遠遠, 然後坐在他隔壁的客人也驚慌失措. 另外看到的還有在門口等著吃飯的, 目瞪口呆的十幾個人...

當然, 我的茶也喝不下去了. 小龜跟我的臉也丟夠了, 就趕快低著頭閃人.

留下的, 只有傳說......

(大概暫時都不會再回去一平了)

上面這件事讓我學到的教訓是: 下次跟人家賭吃東西的時候, 要先規定不能吐出來.
