游泳
本來只想寫下游泳ｎ寶，既來之則寫之，我就多談點游泳吧！
今天的心情延續昨天的疲倦，於是我下定決心游泳來耗盡空想的力氣才能好好睡覺。
曾幾何時，游泳從興趣、運動便成救贖我心靈的最佳良藥～
今天比往常多游了十分鐘，想說這樣更累，會更有效！
果然，現在全身酸酸～我好喜歡這種運動玩得酸痛！題外話:滑雪板帶來的酸痛最爽～
寫完我就要去睡了～總歸一句，一游解千愁！
來說本來的主題游泳N寶吧！
泳衣、泳帽、泳鏡必備之外我還有兩寶！
此兩寶都是我親愛的妹妹給我的，對於喜愛游泳的人是在適合也不過了:
1. Arena最新款的吸水巾
吸力強，吸水多，舒服，輕便，實在太棒了！
2. 神期的泳鏡除霧油
長得就是一條口紅尺寸，抹在泳鏡內側，保證游N次泳鏡都不起霧～也是妹妹的愛心
有了這些游泳ｎ寶，游泳就是一種享受～
加上學校裡有蒸汽室，熱水又多～好喜歡在學校洗澡唷！
幸福的解壓游泳，爽快的Spa和舒服的澡澡～
我只能這樣自得其樂了吧！
下次把照片補上，這樣此文會更賞心悅目。

門外漢的心聲
這是一個奇怪的主題，不過也挺貼切的～
前幾天我去聽了一場IMCS(Institute of Marine and Coastal Science)的潛水艇演說，有感而發～
似乎所有的事情在一個像我這樣的門外漢看來都很有趣。
別人做的東西比較好玩～別人的系好棒唷！（當然也不是所有，不過至少我覺得IMCS很酷）。
This is the link to this Slocum Glider research.
http://rucool.marine.rutgers.edu/atlantic/
這可是由一群來自不同科系的大學生一起參與的跨國研究，現在已經很有規模了。
他們製作這些前挺得目的很多，主要是代替人類偵測海底下的世界 not only biological perspective but also physical, chemical and climactical, geological perspectives etc.
They release the Glider and wish the glider can cross the atlantic ocean and obtain informations they need.
The "Glider cross the Atlantic ocean itself is a big project not mention studies of other objectives"
演講中提到RU17是上一款的潛水艇，在穿越Atlantic ocean的任務中失敗了
不過呢，失敗為成功之母～三折肱成良醫～他們沒有因失敗而像大自然妥協。
這次的演說正是一場RU27新款潛艇的發表會。
可愛的大學生們分工合作，一一解說負責的部份，然後展示了新款的潛艇～
新款的潛艇短期內即將啟航，我很期待看到它的成功^^

USA 50 States Quarter collecting mission complete!
4/11/2009 is my lucky day.
The story began with a trip to visit Tiffany to get stuff mom bought me.
She live 40 minutes north from me.
I took the toll road so I can reach there faster.
It cost me 60 cents that day, for some reason, I didn't feel like to get 40 cents change from a dollar.
I felt like to get two quarters and I had the good feeling that I might get the Hawaii quarter I am dreaming of.
If you remember, the Hawaii quarter is the only one I need now to complete my map.
I followed my instinct, gave the clark $1.10. He kindly asked if I want two quarters and I responded "Yes please".
He handed me two quarters and I checked them while driving away the booth.
The quarter was so shining, it is a pattern I've never seen, I believe it is Hawaii quarter.
Focus on driving, but I couldn't stop but looked at my quarter again and confirmed it is a Hawaii quarter.
What a wonderful surprise! I was so exciting so I drove and laughing all the way and I even shout out loud "Hawaii!!!!"
The feeling is so good and I thought, maybe today is my lucky day.
Tiffany's friend Jenny, Tiffany and I went to a famous restaurant for Taiwanese breakfast as lunch.
Then we decide to do some shopping in the largest shopping mall here.
The mall is huge, and there are filled with people and cars.
We spent 30 minutes circled around and couldn't get any parking spot.
We kept circling, waiting, and following.. no luck come to us.
Spots always being taken by a car in front of us...
We were so disappointed and I said: Maybe I should take my lucky Hawaii quarters out, rubbing it, see if it will bring us good luck. At the same time, I took it out, rubbing it and said: Lucky Hawaii quarter, bring us a parking spot!
A miracle happened, and I still can't believe it really worked! A car just came out ahead of us and then we parked in.
Isn't that great? My lucky Hawaii quarter brings me good luck.
We shopped around the mall, watched a movie "Monsters and Aliens 3D" with large popcorn and soda.
Then we got bubble tea ^.^
Had dinner in a nice Chinese restaurant. We share and had $4 left, so we decide to buy lottery tickets all because of my lucky quarter.
Three of us excitingly drove to liquor store to get lotteries and a funny news "the lottery system all across USA break down".
We couldn't get the tickets today.
The responsibility fall on me, I promise I'll get it today and if we win, we share the price.
I forgot today is easter, worked hard in school all day and planned to get lottery in supermarket.
When I arrive supermarket, it was closed!! So~ no lottery today as well.
Tomorrow I am going to get it, use two number sets from our fortune cookie and select two random.
I'll keep rubbing my lucky Hawaii quarter while entry the tickets.
I'll keep it with me until the day they announce the winner.
Will it be us?

The Price Is Right
02/26/2009 Cook/Douglass Recreation Center 9:00 pm.
I saw the ad posted in the gym said there will be free prices like ipod and GPS to give away, so I marked the calendar and attend this event.
Anther reason drive me to this event is "I didn't even know what is that mean".
It is a Game anyways, but I want to figure it out.
First, you have to show the ID, sign up your name, they'll give you a name take and then take your seat.
Lots of students showed up and feeling extremely exciting, yelling, shouting... hmmm, I believe it is going to be a fun night.
After two hours of watching, I finally know how it works.
Basically the host will provide items for selected players to guess the price. The person whose bid was closet to the price of the item wins. And this person is selected to play some games to win prices.
Several rounds of the game and many prices have been taken, but there are still some items left without being taken, so the host will withdraw names from the pool to give away the rest of the items. Unfortunately there is no ipod, the best price item is a GPS which cost about $150. Anyways, this game is just for fun and you lost nothing but time if you didn't win or get the price :P
One moment I felt bored during the game because I never think about getting any luck to be in the game or any luck to get the leftover gift. And plus, people there playing are grouped, they are so high and happy cheering each other... I am like a rock or something just seating there observing and finally get the answer of what the price is right about. This is not the end, while I was thinking how bored it is to be here alone in the game show, my name was being called. I won something, not the chance to play the game but something I really like that was not taken by players (because they lose...). Ta da~ the photo you see here is my price. What a wonderful day and what a lucky person I am ^^

50 US States Quarters Collection and their nicknames
I started to collect US 50 states quarters since 2003.
It has been 6 years and I one quarter away from achieving the goal.
All these quarters are collected myself or exchange from friends, I am not interested in purchase coins.
The action of purchasing these quarters is meaningless because they are still currency in use.
Now I only need one Hawaii to get it complete. Next step is to collect coins of these 50 states made from three different United State Mints (Denver and Philadelphia).
I organized the state name and their nicknames, also information about the these quarters. The Nick name highlighted with yellow can't be seen on the coin, and I found them online.
And last, show you my collection now (2/15/09), hopefully I can get Hawaii as soon as possible ^^
