ASDA到你家

很早之前我就在ASDA註冊過一個帳號了,但還是每隔一段時間就搭公車去Morrisons補充糧食,一方面是從學校搭25號公車就能直達Morrisons,而去ASDA卻要到市區轉28號公車;另一方面也算是出去透透氣,否則一直悶在宿舍會發霉……

不過當公車年票到期之後,出去購物來回一次就要£3,加上一個人只有兩隻手,想要一次多買點東西也沒那麼方便,所以ASDA提供的線上購物服務反倒變的經濟又實惠。

線上購物服務在英國很普遍,之前上《消費者行為》的課時,老師還說她自己非常不喜歡浪費時間去逛街,甚至在網路上買車!但是車子有沒有宅配到家我就不得而知了

OK,重點是ASDA線上購物種類繁多又齊全,滑鼠點一點就可以逛整座超級市場,完全不費腿力!雖然滿£25才能外送,且要另加£4的運費,但是大家合買的話隨便就超過£25,所以運費分攤掉之後還買不了一張公車來回票勒!

今日是我第一次體驗到ASDA的宅配服務,當初選擇送貨時間是7pm~9pm,結果7pm我的手機就響起來了,真沒想到這麼準時呀!我想這裡應該是那輛貨車的第一站吧~總之,這次線上購物的經驗我很滿意,不僅省下出門的時間,也省了買公車票的錢,且送來一袋袋的食物和好幾瓶2L的汽水,根本不是我和I小姐兩人提的回來的量,看來以後都得靠ASDA線上購物了。

不過今天比較糗的事情是我以為他會幫我把東西拿下車,於是我癡癡的在宿舍大門口等,後來才知道要我自己過去拿

八卦

根據現在在倫敦的Veronica來電指出,阮經天和他的親密女友許瑋甯正在倫敦某間餐廳用餐。目前慫恿Luke進去合照中,不知最後結果如何呢?

不經意看到一則娛樂新聞和這個八卦有關連:

根據線民指出,原本要進餐廳拉近距離拍照,但沒想到門口的服務員說他們已經要打烊了,廚房不再供餐所以不給進,於是不僅沒有合照到,連清楚的照片也拍不到,否則賣給什麼八卦週刊應該能小賺一筆齁!

Blue October - Into the Ocean

很喜歡這首歌~

歌詞:
I'm just a normal boy
That sank when I fell overboard
My ship would leave the country
But I'd rather swim ashore

Without a life-vest, I'd be stuck again
Wish I was much more masculine
Maybe then I could learn to swim like
14 miles away

Now floating up and down
I spin, colliding into sound
Like whales beneath me diving down
I'm sinking to the bottom of my
Everything that freaks me out
The lighthouse gleam has just run out
I'm cold as cold as cold can be
be

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion (yeah)
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down

Where is the coastguard
I keep looking each direction
For a spotlight, give me something
I need something for protection
Maybe flotsam junk will do just fine
The jetsam sunk, I'm left behind
I'm treading for my life believe me
(How can I keep up this breathing)

Not knowing how to think
I scream aloud, begin to sink
My legs and arms are broken down
With envy for the solid ground
I'm reaching for the life within me
How can one man stop his ending
I thought of just your face
Relaxed, and floated into space

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion (yeah)
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down


Now waking to the sun
I calculate what I had done
Like jumping from the bow (yeah)
Just to prove that I knew how (yeah)
It's midnight's late reminder of
The loss of her, the one I love
My will to quickly end it all
Sat front row in my need to fall

Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
Into the ocean, end it all
into the ocean, end it all

[Zayra]
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)

I want to swim away but don't know how
Sometimes it feels just like I'm falling in the ocean
Let the waves up take me down
Let the hurricane set in motion (yeah)
Let the rain of what I feel right now...come down
Let the rain come down


Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
(In to space)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)
(I thought of just your face)
Into the ocean (goodbye) end it all (goodbye)

鬼門關走一遭



大約8am的時候,I小姐不知怎麼搞的,把電腦前的那杯咖啡打翻,且很巧的就是往筆電潑上去,還來不及反應要拔電源時,筆電就先自己斷電了。我心想大事不妙,會斷電就表示防潑水設計來不及把咖啡導流出來,碰到主機板才會這樣,很有可能要送修換主機板,只是她的電腦已經過保,這樣換主機板是一筆大錢,加上論文資料都在電腦裡面,眼看下週Literature Review交出去的大限在即,哪有這個美國時間等送修啊!

擔心和慌張之餘,我還是冷靜下來並按部就班來處理,畢竟有個人比我還緊張呢!於是我先把筆電拿去浴室「滴咖啡」,I小姐清理書桌。接著我再把鍵盤拆了,發現這一部份的主機板似乎沒受到影響,然後再拆硬碟、上蓋、下蓋……等,最後發現有問題的地方是滑鼠鍵下方的主機板沾到咖啡而導致斷電。

這時候就要學G啦!他對於洗主機板很有一套。於是我就拿牙刷沾水把咖啡漬都給刷掉,清理乾淨再用吹風機吹乾,小心翼翼的把筆電拼裝回去,最後接上電源且大膽的按下電源鍵。

幸好筆電順利開機了,是個快樂的結局,否則I小姐的Literature Review應該是來不及交出去了。但話說我還在清理主機板的時候,I小姐在一旁躺著舒緩情緒時,最後居然就睡著了……囧rz

鬆餅集合



今天I小姐準備很厲害的鬆餅當早餐,煎好之後抹上醬料,再用可麗餅的方式捲起來。這次的口味很豐富,有原味、蜂蜜、巧克力和草莓。

正所謂「一日之計在於晨」,有個這麼好的開始真棒!但我吃飽後卻頗想睡的說……

Reference都不會!?

最近在寫Literature Review,因此找了很多期刊和一些台灣的論文,不過當我想要從台灣論文中的reference去找期刊時,發現很多文章中提到的人名,在reference列表中卻沒有出現,這不是很奇怪嗎?而且這之中更有成大企管的研究生論文,真是太令我錯愕了!

更扯的是我用相同關鍵字找到的其它台灣論文,大家引用的文字幾乎一模一樣,但reference列表中依然沒有!真的是「天下文章一大抄」,也不知道最早是誰先用,且都沒有人去關心資料來源,難道教授也不管嗎?

台灣大學生已經氾濫成災,現在連研究生的品質都堪憂啊……
