昨天下午上完课之后就跟着同学Monica去Lavenda地铁站那里与她的同学回合，她在狮城论坛那里看到一个关于川菜的广告所以就决定大家一起去那里吃个年夜饭。终于相信新加坡的地铁有些部分是在地上的，比如Queenstown那里，然后就钻入地下，不过人在地铁车厢里面感觉不到这个海拔高度的变化。大概点了酸菜鱼片汤(Sliced Fish in Salted Mustard Cabbage Soup)、巴渝水煮鱼(Sliced Fish in Ba Yu Style Spicy Sauce)、铁板牛肉、干煸四季豆、未知名豆腐还有一个菜心吧，味道还算是正宗，而且每个人只要S$18，算是很值得的了。吃完饭就去牛车水看演出，据说有灯展，不过好像只有在North Bridge Road那小段封路上才有，而且那个地方和牛车水夜市是寸步难行，都是人，遗憾的是，就在那个夜市的地方我的MP3丢了，因为放在背包外面的网格袋里，在那种环境下极为容易给“爆夹”。事都如此，只能用破财消灾来安慰了。被封路的路段就在珍珠坊门前那段，我一直都没有怎么看到台上表演的人，都是在看大屏幕，不过没有一会大家就跑到旁边的麦当劳去等新年的来临，要不是外边的鞭炮响了，还不知道新年已经来临了，因为Shelly的冷笑话太冷了，时间过去了都不知道:) 后来AC, YHB和JD也从宿舍跑到牛车水，运气还不错，他们正好赶上了新年的鞭炮声。然后我就跟他们三个在夜市附件人挤人挤到凌晨两点多，上次提到的新加坡佛牙寺龙华院香火还是很兴旺的，虽然它才新建了一两年，凌晨两点了很多人都还在那里排队进去点上自己的一炷香。在佛牙寺旁边有个牛车水新年商展会，卖的一般都是比较便宜的衣服和一些生活用品。在那里我看到了几个奇特的拍卖会，他们拍卖的是一些工艺品，什么玛瑙啊，玉啊等等，规则是S$2起价，最低加价也是S$2。感兴趣的人可以抓一把凳子坐在周围，喊价时举举手即可，不用什么入场手续也不需要保证金，在几分钟内，好几个物品都在S$10左右拍卖出去了。心里纳闷的是如何保证那个只看了几眼的东东是“好ye来的”？

嗯，今天开始就是舞狮队出动的时候啦，工厂啊商店啊等等都会请舞狮队来在自己的“地盘”走一圈来驱赶霉气。我的老师Duogal说他也在那个舞狮队里面，真的么？这个Duogal是Liverpool的球迷，而同学Robin却是Manchester United的fans，因此在课堂上Duagal会经常“利用”老师的身份来打击可怜的曼联球迷的热情。对了，一个星期前就将头发理了，是一家不知道是马来人还是印度人开的理发店，问了价钱然后说了一句剪短一点就将自己送上了未知的“断发台”，手艺还算可以，因为我的头发剪了跟没有剪是一样的造型，S$10，不贵？

本来就不打算在这里放广告的了，但是通过加入广告对Sidebar有了一些更深的认识－－挺能吹的一个借口，是不。其实就算放在这里也没有什么好处的，因为流量太少，唯一的后果就是将Sidebar搞得四不像，那为什么还要放呢？I don't know too. 确实是偶遇。在调整Sidebar的时候，将Adsense激活，出来的下面这张图可能是个不算答案的答案。我将Adwords的价钱出的最低，刚刚好能够发布，一直以来通过流量统计发现每天都有一两个是通过广告来的，不过网站没有粘性，来客都蜻蜓点水的卖弄舞姿。

我在Wordpress的中文Google Group看到一个帖子，说的是他生活平淡，没有话题可写，网志写不下去了，我想怎么可能呢？看看我，这样就能发一个文章，gneheix 看到这里就可能要后悔订阅咯。

春节算是越来越近了，希望大家都能买到车票，开心回家过年。

The Chinese Spring Festival is coming soon. It will take about three and a half hours from Zhongshan city to my hometown, it depends on which way the coach take. And I try to use the Google Earth today although I have knew it for a long time. The Google Earth is difference with the Google Maps, you need to download the client programs to run the Google Earth, that's the reason why I try this until today too.

OK, following is the instruction which takes you to my hometown, if you're a Martian, because the first step is the view of the Earth. (You can click on the photo to view the original size.)

A. Of course, this is the view from the virtual space. And the China is pretty beautiful, isn't it? This is my country. 

B.  This is a photo with some city's name. Be inform that it should contain the South China Sea and the islands.

C.  Can you see the pin on the map? I use this pin to show you the probable place where my hometown located.

D.  Guangdong province.

E.  This is taken from some angle view snap. This is Pearl River Delta in Guangdong Province, you can also see the Hong Kong and Macau. And, and, there is Heyuan marker on the top right-hand corner, get it?

F. Now here is Heyuan City. The Linjiang Town is under the Heyuan Town, and also is smaller. The Dongjiang River go through the Heyuan City and pass by the Linjiang Town, and that's how the name of Linjiang came from.

G.  Fortunately, I can scan Heyuan City with Google Earth, I can't get the pictures just beside the Heyuan city area, such as Shaoguan City etc. I don't know why this happen, maybe there are some military affairs in those area. Anyway, I just want my hometown, right?

H. After leave the thruway from the South Toll Station of Heyuan City, it will take only 5 minutes before you arrive at the Linjiang Town. The Linjiang Bridge had been set up in the year 2004, which can be seen through the windows of my room.

I. Here is the point. Tommy's home! Just on the Linjiang Street, my dad own the book store.

Well, everyone, I believe that's enough to guide you to come to my home, even if you're Martian.  Welcome.

And you can click "Read more…" for something which are more meaningful to me.
