劍橋下雨了

1999 年,我回到從小長大的台北。令我驚訝的是,這本書中寫的異鄉異地的心情,竟然偶爾也會在台北出現。於是我突然了解到:舊金山不是一個地點,而是一個狀態。它代表著所有的人第一次離家、第一次探險、第一次夢想破滅、人生各方面的第一次。你可以在忠孝東路,淋到舊金山的雨。你可以在 Room 18 外面,像那名紅衣女子一樣哭泣。每一天,每一個角落,我們都若有所失,然後重新開始。

不要改,因為它忠實地呈現了我在世界上最美的城市中種種美麗與醜陋的經驗,它呈現了我在那個年紀時的想法和擔心。那時我很矮,臉色有點蒼白。那時我還沒有認識蛋白質女孩,每一次邂逅都覺得是真愛。那時候的心境大概永遠不會重來,也因此更值得原文記載。

-王文華

我很喜歡「101」這個數字,它象徵著開始,象徵著重生。

回來三日重拾全職學生身份,心境有如藍天般開朗,
但劍橋的雨卻沒有停過,足足下了三天三夜
留意到街上打傘的人並不多。

以往雨天不會打傘,與其又開傘又關傘,倒不如加快腳步
反正剛剛洗過澡,頭髮本來就沒有完全乾透
況且穿的是涼鞋一對,淋濕了也沒有大不了

這一年起就不能再對這些生活細節這般沒要求了
要妥善為自己的起居飲食健康儀容負責
因為照顧好自己的健康  從來都不是一個人的事
誰也有種責任好好打理自己 誰說你可嫌棄自己

頹廢 is not an option,
偏偏整所麻省理工都被這些典型的頹廢人士侵佔了
有technical grounding又怎樣,讀到半死,
最終淪為一個又一個不能登大雅之堂的的行屍走肉,
我不要再回到頹到喊的日子~lala

睡不好腦裡又重溫 這冷冷凌晨

唾*罵了人一身銅臭後,dominated with randomness, 等我review下難得的weekend的活動:

腦電波

What happened:
What I did is called Sleep-deprived EEG brain scan
24 electrodes were attached to my scalp to test my brain electrical activity
I was required to stay up for the whole night to reach a ‘sleep-deprived’ weak brain state
so I could stay drowsy for the whole process.

The process goes like this:
was asked if I am left-handed or right-handed..duno what to answer :p
20 mins ~ taping the wires and electrodes to my head
3 mins ~ breath deeply continuously for 3 minutes
10 mins ~ stay still (there are 5 stages in sleep, and I should try to stay at 1 or 2..)
2 mins ~ super high frequency flash lights

Why I have to do this:
to see what kind of seizure I have
was fainting quite frequently earlier this year with memory and conscious loss

How much is it?
Thanks to the compulsory health insurance for international students, it’s free!
and thanks everyone ….I feel very guilty that I made others and my family worried about me
should stay healthy!!!

(對不起令大家擔心了,但個electrodes頭真係要影下XD)
話說這個腦掃瞄的requirement係要12 midnight onwards stay awake till 9am
忽然間有搭長途機既感覺,一直倒數,又係自己一個人
途中又唔可以lie down 歎直個人
只可以迫自己醒,平時你叫我通頂真係話咁易
但原來有目的地唔比自己瞓著係咁辛苦嘅 -_-
飛機途中收到兩個電話
dad (2:00am) :” 點呀,飛機而家飛到邊度啦??”
mum (6:00am):”hello, 我係空中小姐,落機之前駛唔駛整番個杯面?”

gorgor(just now): “is eyeliner a requirement too!?!?@_@”

我有說話未曾講

  • Why do I have to see you everytime on fb newsfeed?….go away…….!!!!

Seizure

came back from Medical

the doctor said it is a kind of “absences seizure disorder”
just I googled it ..it is one kind of 癫痫症 @_@
now I get why all the doctors and nurses asked if anyone see me “shaking” or 嘔白泡

I am scheduled to do a brain scan at a nearby hospital next week to test my brain activity
the requirement is , I have to pull an all-nighter before the test
to make sure I am sleep-deprived enough…haa easy job.
doctor said they will put electrodes (or even needles@@) all over your head

Taking full advantage of my extended health plan. hahahha.
