Last time I got the tickets from Hi-Life and found the lower quality of the tickets. This time I decided to go farther to Fnac in Tian-Mu to get the tickets of other concerts. Do they look better? It is the original appearance they should be. Hmm… I do like this style much more. :)
The Guavas Were Frosbitten
Hmm… The picture was not taken very well. Maybe you cannot find what's the difference. (Not the hole on the surface… ^^a)
Today I took out the guava from the refrigerator and found they were frosbitten. There was even frost in the plastic bag. The temperature is too low, isn't it?! Fortunately, it tasted not very disgusting, just a little different from before. XD. I must eat the rest of them as quickly as I can.

Let’s see what’s happened in the guavas. It begins to have liquifacation necrosis from the superficial layer. The margin is not well defined. It seems the lesion does not extend into the core, but we still have to confirm this with frozen section. Before the pathological report, we can not rule out the posibility of malignance. XD
Received The Book At Last
Today, I eventually received the book I ordered in the Spring Festival. Why was it delayed so long? (about ONE MONTH!!!) Let me tell you.
I noticed this book on the newspaper and decided to order it online, so I tried the service of Findbook.tw and found the price which Soidea supplies was the lowest, and the most important is, I don't need to pay the postage if I choose convenient-store-transportation. It's important for me, because if I order books from Eslite and want to save the postage, the bill needs to exceed 1,000 NTD. Therefore, I ordered it and wanted Soidea to send it to the FamilyMart in my school.
After I went back to school and several days passed, the status of the order was still ON TRANSPORTATION. And one day, it changed to CANCELLED. I didn't know what's happened and after a while, I received an email telling me that the order had been cancelled and they'll refund me the money. I thought maybe I forgot to take the good and the notification email was marked as spam. So, I ordered it again and decided to check the order everyday.
The status still was ON TRANSPORTATION several days later, and one day, it changed to CANCELLED again. I didn't receive any notification email or message as before. I got angry, because I didn't do anything wrong. I called the service and argued with them. It said maybe there’s something wrong between the transportation company and the FamilyMart in my school. I didn't think it is a good excuse, but I had no choice. Originally I'd like to buy it from another bookstore, but I found no one cheaper than Soidea. I ordered it for the third time, but this time, I changed the good-taking point to another convenient store.
Finally I received the notification message and took the book today. Although it seems that I have no time to read it now, I still feel happy for spending less money to buy it. However, is the time I totally spent worth nothing?
My Headphone Broke Off
Just now, my roommate came back. At that time, I was listening to music with my speakers. As he sat in front of his desk, I habitually turned them off and put on my headphone. At the moment, it BROKE OFF. Oh… Although it still sounds, it no longer fits the shape of my head, unless I try to stick the two parts together. Maybe I have to find a POWERFUL glue to fix it tomorrow.
2006.03.11 UPDATED: Haha… I bought a bottle of SUPER GLUE today, and just now, I stuck the two parts together. But I incautiously dropped some glue on my finger. Hope the skin will be ok, and also, hope the headphone will be firmer than before. (Because I smeared a lot of glue onto the junction. :p)
Get Tickets From Hi-Life
I decided to listen to a concert and ordered the tickets on the internet. There are many methods to get the tickets, including going to the wicket directly, sent by mail (but I have to pay the postage.), and the most convenient, getting from Hi-Life.
I went to the Hi-Life in VGHTPE at first, but unfortunately, the ticket machine seemed broken. (using M$'s sucking system…) So I went to another near the Holiday in Shipai.
The machine is user-friendly. I just pressed several keys and then got the tickets from the counter. The worst thing I thought was I had to enter my credit card's numbers. But I didn't feel satisfied with the quality of the tickets. The paper they use is some kind like the one a fax uses. The printing ink seems not having quality, hence the tickets seem unworthy of collecting.
Although it’s very convenient to get tickets from Hi-Life, I don't think I'll use the service in the future, because the quality of the ticket is more important, isn't it?
Handout of Hospital Management
I printed the handout of Hospital Management for the class, totally 108 copies. There are 73 pages per copy, and they were double-page printed. Therefore, totally there are 37 x 108 = 3996 sheets on my desk now!!! But it’s not the most miserable thing. I have to move them to the classroom in the rain in about 10 minutes later. Oh… Thanks to duckling for his promise of gaving me a HAND.
Go to KTV With YMChmusic
A few days ago, YMChmusic went to KTV after the first meeting of this semester. If I were the man one or two years ago, I wouldn’t go with them. Because I didn’t like to go out with a lot of people. But, maybe this is the last time I could go playing with them, I changed my mind.
Kilo didn’t want to lost the chance either, so I took her first and went to Holiday to join with the others. There were totally about 20 people in the room. (A little crowded. :p) And first of all, we ordered some famous (for them) songs that everybody could sing together and we wouldn’t waste the time. But it seemed that we ordered too much at first that the songs we really wanted to sing came out too late.
Although the songs they ordered were new for me, I still tried to catch the rhythm. (The popular songs are all alike and have a model. ^^a)
The most active people include cloudyday (until that time, I knew he had listened to so many songs.), lovepig (his voice is characteristic.), agnesM (until that time, I knew she likes singing and sings very well.), and rin1999 (she’s an expert in making the atmosphere cordial.) They sang almost every songs. XD
Because Kilo had to go home earlier, I took her home and came back a while later. Since then, the songs I ordered came out. Kentu and I sang some together, and cloudyday and I sang the others. We became very high and I felt very happy that I can sing with them.
This may indeed be the last time I go out with YMChmusic in my collage period, if I have my intern training in VGHTC. I should treasure every experience with them more and more.

Use UrMap API in YMChmusic’s Blog
UrMap is a web service which is just alike Google Maps and can show the map online. Besides these, it’s featured in the detailed street information and high-resolution satellite images of Taiwan, where I live. The API had been released for several days, but at first, I wasn’t very interested in it. After reading this post, I thought it may be fun to use the API displaying the address of some activities. Therefore, I tried it in the YMChmusic’s Blog.
But, WordPress has a feature that will add paragraph tags automatically to the content. When I tried to use javascript in the content, it didn’t work. The auto-paragraph mechanism is activated in the core of WordPress, and I couldn’t find any option to deactivate it. So, I gave it up.
Today, during the rest at noon, I tried again to search the documents of WordPress and found how to use javascript in the content. I had to install a plugin called Text Control, which can control the formatting behavior for a single post or globally. And then, I inserted the code into the post I’d like to show a map. Wow, I succeeded. Thanks, Jeff.
The second problem was that I had to find out the longitude and latitude of the place I wanted to display. The problem was resolved by a greasemonkey script called UrMap Plus 2.0. It can hybridize UrMap with Google Maps, and the most important is, the longitude and latitude information will be displayed. Thanks, CK.
With these two tools, I can show the map. But because the place I marked is a little remote, Map Mode doesn’t indicate it, although it’s very clear in the satellite image. Therefore, I’d like to change the default mode to Hybrid Mode, but there’s no documentation about this. The final method is to hack the source code, and fortunately I found a function called setMapType which is what I wanted. Thanks, myself. XD
Ok, this is the first time I use APIs. Maybe someday when I have more free time, I can investigate other APIs, such as Flickr’s and Google’s. It may be more fun. ^^
