Get set n’ cook 顾名思义当然是烹饪比赛。参赛者则是如是青年组的大学生。今天在佛堂里举行这项活动，目的是为了提倡吃素食的好处及当场发挥创意烹饪菜色。这比赛只限十组，一组有两个人。从煮菜到装饰只有四十五分钟，当时间到，参赛者就一定要关火而且不能继续煮。除此之外，烹饪食材是当场才分发给参赛者，比赛前我们完全不知道有什么材料，然后从现有的食材而煮出一道有创意的菜。比赛介于早上九点四十五开始到十点半结束。
比赛开始时，其余九组的参赛者都全神贯注的准备他们的食物。然而我和我的拍档Jia, 从比赛一开始就手忙脚乱，而且还是最吵闹的一组。举例来说，我们把火开到太大，想要炸咖喱叶；由于上述原因导致油太热而把咖喱叶煮焦了，我们只好从新煮过。
时间一分一秒的过去，最后我们好不容易地煮了两样菜并取名为出于泥而不染和心花怒放。四十五分钟后，我们请佛堂里的戒文法师和真净法师当裁判为十组参赛者的菜评分。师父尝试我们的菜后，比赛作品则公开给大家吃。之后，大家一一品尝并给予评语。
当等待成绩揭晓时，所有的参赛者开始把厨房用具收拾干净。到了午餐时间，成绩揭晓。名次分为第一到三名跟一个安慰奖。成绩结果是出乎意料，我和我的拍档拿到第一名，没想到我们会赢。
总的来说，参加这个比赛使我学习到新的食谱。下一次，我们可以改良出于泥而不染这道菜。哈哈 (^_^)

人类为什么会记仇
美国心理学家卡乔波博士曾让人被试看三种类型的图片：一种能激起积极情感(比如诱人的甜品)；一类能激发消极情感(如伤疤脸、死猫)；另一种能产生中性情感(如盘子、电吹风)。与此同时，他把这3种情况下被试大脑皮层的电活动记录下来。实验结果表明，大脑对消极类刺激物的反应更强烈。比起好消息，坏消息对人情绪的影响更重。
卡乔波博士指出，在进化过程中，人类为了免遭伤害，具备了对负性信息做出强烈反应的能力。因为只有避开灾祸，才能生存下来。于是大脑发展了一套机制，能无意识地注意危险信号，从而采取措施避开灾难。
与此同时，华盛顿大学的心理学家戈特曼博士也发现，由于人对坏的信息感受强烈，夫妻之间的一次争吵后，积极的情感互动至少要达到消极情感互动的5倍，才可以将婚姻持续下去。伤害一个人很容易，但是要弥补造成的伤害，就不是那么容易的事了。

我尝试跟你沟通，但是自从那见事件发生后，我和你之间从此不在谈话，此时此刻有如陌路人。
不可否认我承认我俩都有错，你也不用对我不理不睬。难道是你的自尊心太强，吃不得亏??? 虽然认识你才僅僅一年，然而我们之间的友情就无法挽回了吗???
以我对你的个性了解，作为你的朋友而给你一个忠告，就是你的缺点需要改过。
凡是要三思而后行及顾虑身边朋友的感受，大家为了迁就而对你百般容忍。虽然说宰相肚里能撑船，只怕哪天当大家不能在忍受，事情会闹到一发不可收拾的地步。

Mount Gambier Trip
おひさしぶりですね。
It been a long time I haven’t updating my blog. During the mid semester break on the month of April (13/4/09 until 26/4/09), me and together with 9 friends went to Mount Gambier - city of craters, lakes, caves and sinkholes.
The duration of our trips are 4 days 3 nights starting from 14/4/09 ~ 17/4/09. We began our journey by renting 2 cars. According to the plan, we have agreed to have pit stop at Kingston for lunch. Therefore, we stopped at a shop besides the Kingston jetty to buy fish and chips as our lunch. Before that, as we reached Kingston, we can saw a big lobster as show in the pictures. The lobster was 18.2 metres high and made out of fibreglass this is a seriously big object which can be justified by the fact that Kingston SE is one of Australia's best lobster/crayfish fishing areas.
If I not mistaken it took us around 8 hours to reach the destination. In this trip, we have visited various places including Blue Lake, Umpherston Sinkhole, Mount Schank and Engelbrecht Cave.
In addition, this year my birthday celebration was special because it was celebrated together with another 2 friends. I just found that SY was born on same day with me.
Overall, I would say that after having this trip to Mount Gambier, I can see another side of South Australia where this place is surrounded by natural scenery while also increase the bonding with my friends.
