When a GIRL is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind।
When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply।
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how long you will be around।
When a GIRL answers " I'm fine " after a few seconds ... she is not at all fine.
When a GIRL stares at you ... she is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL lays on your chest ... she is wishing for you to be hers forever.
When a GIRL wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered.
When a GIRL says " I love you " ... she means it.
When a GIRL says " I miss you " ... no one in this world can miss you more than that.
Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person ....
Find a guy ...
who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
who calls you back when you hang up on him.
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy
who ... kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
Who turns to his friends and says, " That's her!!

Paella - Spain Rice
Paella 西班牙海鮮飯
Ingredients for 4 persons
1 medium chicken
1 medium rabbit
2 medium ripe chopped tomatoes
165 grs. wide green bean ( spanish-bachoqueta)
130 grs. large white lima beans ( spanish-garrafon)
1 level teaspoon of saffron
3 cups of spanish rice
8 cups of hot water or ( even better chicken broth)
olive oil ( enough to cover the bottom of the paella pan)
salt ( to taste)
1 level teaspoon of sweet red paprika
First, heat the oil and when it is hot enough, add the rabbit and chicken (lightly salted ) and fry unitl lightly browned. Then add the white and green beans and cook them together with the meat. While they are cooking, make a clearance in the middle of the paella pans and fry the chopped tomatoes until they look a little pasty, quickly adding the paprika, stirring quickly and immediately adding the hot water or broth until it is almost to the top of the paella pans edge.
Cook all the ingredients for about 20 minutes over a high fire and tasting for salt. After 20 minutes we add the rice, distributing it evenly, making sure the rice is covered with liquid. The fire should be fairly high, not interrupting the boil. It takes about 20 minutes for the paella rice to cook. Do not stir the rice once you have added it to the paella pans, just change its position so that the fire gets to all patrs equally. All the broth should be absorbed when finished. Take the paella off the fire and let stand for about 10 minutes covering the top with newspaper. If the rice has been cooked correctly, the rice grains should be loose, not clumped together or having a mushy texture.

Fav. Novel ever!!!! So looking forward to seeing the film, but.... seems Da Vinci Code used out last bit of luck & eventually God get involved this time...
The major shooting scenes in Rome churches were banned by Vatican, Santa Maria del Popolo and Santa Maria della Vittoria won't be in the film... can't image what the film would be like if without them... Maybe using computing special visual effects just like Gladiator???
Considering those awesome creative ideas, I don't really mind the divergences from facts, however, to ppl have faith in Jesus, it must be some humiliated thing if the archbishop allow this anti-catholic author taking his 'mendacious' story, shooting around the sacred places & showing the world how he makes 'Gospels upside down'. While, understandable but still sad... When can I see it? Can the movie beat the novel? I am CRYing to see...@_@ If in my world, there is a god, I will knee & beg with my sincere heart.

Sydney Beaches
Palm Beach, about 14 miles north of Manly (1hr drive) and known as "Palmie," is locally considered the jewel of the northern beaches. Its beautiful remoteness s the reason celebs have chosen to buy holiday homes here, and visitors tend to be equally flush.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Beach,_New_South_Wales
http://www.palmbeachbandb.com.au/palmbeach/maplarge.html - Detailed Map
Manly, about seven miles north of Sydney via a half-hour ferry ride from Circular Quay or by car from the city center, looks and feels like a holiday resort. The Corso, the main street that connects the beach with the harborside ferry wharf, is lined with boutiques and alfresco cafes.
Bondi, Australia's most famous beach, is about four miles from the city center. Finding a parking spot among the surrounding cafes and surf-wear shops is nearly impossible, but if you come early you can stake out a spot on the half-moon of golden sand and settle in for a day of the best swimming, sunning, and people-watching in Sydney.
A mile or so farther south is Coogee, a sort of mini-Bondi that's increasingly popular with the young, good-looking backpacker set. There's not much surf here, so it also attracts families with young children.

ASX - Stock Market Investment Plan 2008
1. Focused on buying stocks that were either performing below the ASX 200, or well below their all time price high. Put $10,000 in each stock (diversification), so that we could maximise any increases/minimise risk.
3. We didn't focus on the price of the stock as we understood that it was the percentage rise of the stock that was important.
4. Buying stocks performing below the market but existing in strong sectors, in the hope that they would realign with the market - energy and retail sectors/core stocks (Note: high profile stocks - experienced good growth, but not extream high ranking, sometims need to take much greater risks)
5. Special Oppotunity in 2008: Invest in sectors/companies that have been oversold due to the global credit crisis and the weakness in the US economy. The sharemarket sell-off spelled opportunities to invest in companies which were trading at a much discounted price.

SaD TaNgO - be a FaN of rAiN
The performance is breathtaking one... try to play & bear the 1st boring 30sec, then you will be paidback by the ever perfect experience... This man (Bi Rain) is from Korean but I was caught off guard by him singing in Japanese, & thanks to the youth in US, language skill is just additional to the young man... you may say the dance is so familiar, yeah, took Usher dancing style, but who cares... (even no one cares about his 'ugly looking' face whereas still be in upper echelons of 'fineness') his talent says everything, to be honest, who can say he is not more attractive than the black buddie... while, i am a fan of both. HEHE...
In this world, hope no one talk about racists & haters any more, no white or black, no asian or curry... but take every piece & bit advantage from all kind of cultures, be grateful, enjoy all sparkling shows & appreciate talented people who delivered the amazing sensation... ♥

The Phantom of the Opera 080515
The story should be familiar to anyone who's love musical/opera: When Christine upstages the diva Carlotta, thanks to the help of the mysterious Phantom who haunts the Opera Populaire, her childhood sweetheart, Raoul woos the girl and, in turn, incurs the wrath of the Phantom.Quite possibly the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life, Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera represents everything that's perfect with much of today's musical theater. This Broadway stage version seems can delight of every fans of Webber's musical, been so elegant, moved to teas, stands toe-to-toe... much better than Joel Schumacher's film (buying $10 DVD is the most regret thing, so dark & make you violently ill), here say Sorry to MaLi, we suppose to share this together, but you were not here....
Lucky enough to grab tickets to this opening night show, certainly had my efforts rewarded. Without question one of the greatest shows to ever hit the stage - stately and beautiful Ana Marina playing Christina and Anthony Warlow in the title role - an unequivocal veteran to the role, was well at home and commanded each scene in which he was placed. Marina on the other hand, while certainly being beautiful onstage and having an undeniable talent, was visibly newer and, whereas, her young voice was less developed.
The sets are of course superb and a demonstration of the very finest work in modern theatre. Moving constantly from brooding caverns to grandiose ballrooms, lighting and sound are masterfully executed. The technical intricacies of the production compete for your attention on the same level as the cast or anthemic music.
The (08/05/15) performance of Phantom of the Opera was a marvellous night of entertainment in all and certainly would be enjoyed by anyone. With such an astonishing lush aesthetic and talented cast, not forgetting the timeless story and music, its easy to be overwhelmed at many points, I’m sure this will please established fans of the Phantom as well as earning a great many new ones. Would really love to go again before it close, of course, with the one who enjoy this...
9大類淨腸好食物
腸道功能在於幫助食物消化分解後，將不要的廢物排出體外，如壞死細菌、食物殘渣、膽汁分泌物、腸黏膜代謝物等等。但是，現代人因工作繁忙，生活不規律，經常影響正常排便，造成便秘，而未排出的糞便停留體內太久，會發酵產生脹氣、毒素、細菌更可能侵入血液循環系統，使身體負擔加重。因此腸道不乾淨，很容易引起腸道的病變，增加致癌的可能性。
常見症狀警訊
腹痛、腹瀉、便秘、脹氣、消化不良等症狀，這些都是腸道不健康所發出的警訊，可能是平時的飲食習慣所造成的。另外，腸道不健康還會有一些症狀，像是排出惡臭的糞便和屁，皮膚粗糙、口臭、頭痛、肩膀痠痛、易疲勞，倦怠感等現象，不可輕忽。
淨腸食物Look
1. 食物纖維 蕃薯、紅蘿蔔、香菇、無花果、蘋果、蒟弱、筍子、地瓜葉等富有纖維質，幫助腸道蠕動並加速食物移動使糞便早日排出。另外，由於纖維質會在腸道中吸附食物中膽固醇，干擾膽固醇被吸收。
2. 黏性食物 味噌、蘋果、石花菜、髮菜、蘆薈葉肉等黏性及保水性強的多醣類，能吸附膽固醇、膽汁等廢物排出體外，可整腸、消除便秘，防止血糖急速上升。
3. 芝麻 含亞麻仁，而亞麻仁又含有食物纖維及不飽和脂肪酸。纖維可清潔腸道，吸取腸內毒素排出體外，改善便秘，有效預防大腸癌；不飽和脂肪酸可預防動脈硬化。
4. 維生素 可運用維生素來營造有益菌的環境，如維生素B群中的B1、B2、B6有益腸道蠕動；維生素C可增強免疫力；維生素E能調整腸道自律神經。除服用綜合維他命錠外也可從食物中攝取，如五榖類含維生素B群，蔬果多有維生素C，海鮮多有維生素E。
5. 乳酸菌 腸道內壞菌多於有益菌時，容易產生疾病。乳酸菌為體內好菌，維持腸道內菌叢平衡和酸性環境，抑制壞菌並促進蠕動。優酪乳中含乳酸菌，幫助合成維生素。而比菲德氏菌為乳酸菌的1種可活化腸道，某些飲料中有這種菌，購買前可看成分。
6. 發酵食品 像是味噌、紅葡萄酒、納豆等，都具有整腸及提昇免疫力的效果，還能降低糞便的臭味。其中納豆含有某種酵素，能預防心血管疾病。
7. 寡醣 一般超市有賣寡糖，或是洋蔥、香焦、大豆中也含有少量的寡糖，雖人體無法吸收寡糖，但寡糖卻能在腸中被利用，變成腸道內益菌，如比菲德氏菌的營養，幫助保持腸內的清潔，幫助改善便秘，且寡糖更屬於低熱量的醣類，較不易發胖。
8. 啤酒酵母 可抗氧化、抗自由基，並促使碳水化合物變成有能量的B群，並含胺基酸、豐富纖維質，能清潔腸內。一般藥局可購得啤酒酵母錠或啤酒酵母粉。食用前，可依標示說明來服用。
9. 水分 每天必須喝3000cc的水才能讓腸道不乾澀及清腸，且水是最好的溶劑，喝水可幫助體內各種循環，使毒素快速排出，預防便秘

Car Import into Australia - Requirement
There are several steps to privately importing a motor vehicle:
1. Obtain a "VEHICLE IMPORT APPROVAL" from the Vehicle Safety Standards Branch of the Department of Transport and Regional Services. Phone: 1800 815 272 (Australia only) or (02) 6274 7506, Fax: (02) 6274 6013, email: Vimports@dotars.gov.au;
2. Pay Customs duty, GST and Luxury Car Tax (LCT) where applicable and obtain a customs clearance at the port of entry; and
3. Obtain quarantine clearance from the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) after the vehicle has arrived at the port of entry. For more information visit the AQIS website on http://www.aqis.gov.au/
Because of the various duty rates applicable, and the existence of two valuation regimes depending on whether the car was purchased before or on or after 2 March 1998, a publication, called the Guide to the Importation of Privately Owned Motor Vehicles or Motor Cycle" is available below which clearly describes the process involved and the methods to be used in calculating any duty and tax liability.
Any person may import a motor vehicle or a motorcycle into Australia as directed in the section Motor Vehicle Standards Act detailed below.
If you plan to drive the vehicle on Australia's roads it is essential that you contact the Vehicle Safety Standards Branch before importing the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle can meet the safety requirements and to obtain a permission to import the vehicle.
All privately imported vehicles are subject to the same rates of Customs duty and Goods and Services Tax (GST) and, where applicable, Luxury Car Tax (LCT) as commercially imported vehicles. The Customs duty is based on the Customs value of the vehicle.
The rate of Customs duty payable is that which applies to the particular type of vehicle on the date it is entered for Customs purposes in Australia. GST and, where applicable, LCT applies at the date you import the vehicle into Australia. Without a permission to import, which can be obtained from the Vehicle Safety Standards Branch, a special duty of $12,000 may apply.
As Customs duty varies according to vehicle design and value, and is subject to change, you should contact a Customs office before importing any vehicle into Australia.
Prior to making a decision to import your vehicle you should take into account the costs involved in the process such as: freight, Customs duties and entry processing charges, steam cleaning for quarantine purposes, other wharf and transport charges and any costs involved in having the vehicle meet state or territory registration requirements (whether your vehicle will indeed meet these requirements should be checked prior to importation).
