One month at my new Job

Oh Hi hi

I have been here for a month, heavy teaching load...

Just moved from my temporary office into this permanent office.

Before my decoration..




During decoration....


havn't finished yet... coming soon....


This is like my second home.

God, I feel very different these days, and I don't know what I am doing with my life, with my faith, and I am not er er don't quite know how to describe yet.


as a new assistant professor...new page in my life... and new responsibility

I miss this place

years years have passed...9 yrs ...12 yrs...

I read my thoughts written in 2000 when I was writing my first paper, doing n collecting AB data...

I can't believed that much time have passed...

Have I grown up a bit?


7 farewell lunches/parties were thrown in my last 2 weeks of stay...

this is the children's party... a dress-up party

Last week at the Jung Institute

It has been nearly 2 weeks that I stayed here. Away from everybody, and new to everybody here.

They come from all around the world... Lativia, Brasil, Asia, US, France, Nigeria....

Everything seem to be from a fairytale....

my hostel room

In Clarence Castle

Of course I prefer a single room..

But it is surprisingly ok, as all the gals in the room are super quiet, gentle, neat and tidy.. There are 8 of us sharing a room and one toilet. The room is quite spacious, just not clear from the picture, because I was not able to photo the large space in the middle, which is in front of the two beds.

This is the kitchen, full set of oven and stove..., and a small dinning area where we meet people from all the world...well, mainly French these days... as the hostel got a good review at a famous French travelling magazine, and suddenly the hostel is flux with French...so I thought that everybody here speak French at first when I arrive, oh no...just in this hostel...

We are lucky, it is all so sunny for the whole week, as said by the weather forcast.

oh here's the little park right outside this nice hostel..

It's the 5th day already... and is about to end....

Mid-Autumn Festival: a new academic year

A new academic year, with so many new colleagues, students, and we enjoyed the largest BBQ celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival in a park near to our office.


We had a dressing code for the first Friday of each month.

And this month, as seen in the photo, is camerflage.

And on the next day, it is my lovely younger brother's birthday, and 2 of my colleagues made a potato + beef birthday cake for him!

Really very very nice colleagues.
And they are very aggressive in their work too!

My lovely nursing students (Year 1)

They ARE my very cutie nursing students for my course on applied psychology!

This is about half of the class at our last lesson. The other half was with another lecturer to do revision. We revise everything in this last class. They are always very talkative...I like when they asked me questions, that means they were thinking about what I said... but most of the times, they are just chatting and talking among themselves, especially when I started to lecture/talk, then they talked as well!!

We missed each other and so a gal suggested that we should take a photo together.
We'd do a serious one, and a funny one. I don't like that chair..it made me looked bulky and fat! Next time I should stand...:)

Two boys sat around me and pretend to be the Japanese Money Cat! Thanks!!!!!

Ha ha ah!!! I miss them too. Wonder if I'd teach them some other courses too later..?
