在夢土裡拓荒

     We arrived at the hotel (Four Points by Sheraton) at about 1:30. It was very late, and we were very hungry, too. Luckily, the food was still available. When talking about food, Chinese and Taiwanese people put emphasis on three major parts: the color, the smell and the tastes. I have to say that the Indian food had all the three characters-but in different ways.

     Did this food remind you of something else?

     As the saying goes, "Don't judge a book by its cover" Here, "Don't judge Indian Food by its look" It is very delicious actually. Indian people were very good at using spices, but I did not quite able to recognize what kind of meat inside really was.

     Indian food is also very interesting. In India, many people asked me”How do you feel about Indian food?”My answer was always “Very impressive!”To be honest, I was not very used to Indian food at first. However, after tasting those Indian foods for five days in ASC, I gradually fell in love with them.

     When we (Taiwan Team) were on the airplane to Mumbai, I sat beside Joyce. After the plane took off, the flight attendant started supplying the dinner. Because we were taking the Jet Airway, it was Indian food for dinner. At first, I felt it was OK. ”It’s just some curries, No big deal.”I thought. However, one minute later, something terrible happened. I just bit a “big” piece of chili! The chili was hidden inside the curry, so I did not noticed it. It was so spicy that I can sure it was the spiciest chili I have ever eaten.

     “It seems you are not used to chili!” said Joyce when she looked at my strange expression.

     “Hum….Uhm…Just give me some orange juice, please!”

     I could see that Joyce was confused, but the chili was too spicy that I could not even say a word to explain.

ASC is really a remarkable experience. So many people from different countries gathered together. This trip makes me deeply realized that sometimes, watching things on TV is one thing, but when you really see them, that is another matter.

To Mumbai, I think the only word I can use to describe it is “impressive”. Although I have seen some movies about India such as “Slumdog Millionaire” or “Taare Zameen Par” in Taiwan, I still feel very unforgettable when I arrived in Mumbai.

There was a guy who looked just like the actor in the “Slumdog Millionaire” (Sorry I forgot your name…). I noticed that he was very active, and had unique opinions on the many issues. One day when I took the bus to Regenza for “Camp”, I got the chance to sit beside him. After a short conversation, I found out that we are sharing many common thoughts! We both major in biology, and love the Evolutionary biology the most.

“Have you ever heard about the selfish gene theory?” said the guy.

“Of course! It is really a good book! It applied evolutionary perspective into molecular biology, explained a lot of things.”

好久沒打網誌了，一過就是2個月

如今期末考終於考完了，寒假也過了好幾天，日子變得比較悠閒～～

一件一件慢慢說吧～

聖誕之夜是個很神奇的體驗，除了唱歌外，演戲的經驗也是前所未有的，

它的特別除了在於我的角色與演技的突破外，也在於凸槌時的危機處理

英文話劇順利的落幕，感謝所有的參與組員

maggie，你的聲音真的很好聽，唱I have a dream超有fu的

Robert，你演風狂老爸演技甚佳，看得出你經驗豐富。

Mom，你上台時台風真的很穩，和在排練時很不一樣

psychic、wizard, 看得出你們的努力

期中考考完了，日子也變得比較悠閒，

有了（這次）上次的教訓，現在每天都會唸點書，以免到最後被期末考大魔王討債。

同時漸漸抓到大學讀書的方法，使得這次期中考的各科戰績都還不錯，可以接受。

但由於準備時間有點倉促，沒有完全發揮實力，一樣還是有美中不足之處，可以再繼續改善。

話說最近發現，其實想要喜歡一門學科，有很大的因素取決於會不會（另外當然就是你跟他有沒有緣份了XD）

最近頗忙，尤其是期中考，頗讓人感覺是一種挑戰，週三時考完了普物乙～期中考的"Last Stand"(最後戰役)。

有太多事情值得說的，包括學弟的模擬考、北市賽建中的大勝等等，一言難盡，會在今後的篇章補齊。

不過為了滿足各位看官的眼福，我還是要和大家分享我稍早交出去的生物報告。

這是一篇正直不嘴砲的文章～如過這樣的概念用這樣的想法來思考的話，我相信會有更多人對於生物科技有更多的省思的。

我對基因轉殖的看法～從金剛狼到人類

普生（及兩週前的普化）今天終於考完了～獲得了短暫喘息的時間。

普生甲的考試感覺上差強人意，雖然大致順手，但卻有因為觀念錯誤而寫錯的題目，得知時頗震驚。

還有幾題敘述模稜兩可，不知所云，也令人感到不安。

雖然說普生甲同微乙、普物、普化，都是三學分，但是感覺對於生科系及有IBO競賽背景的我而言，算是一種獨特的堅持吧～

加上投入的時間以及之前的基礎，我認為我應該可以表現得更好。

中秋剛過，秋高氣爽。一日余駕鐵馬於椰林，遇好友頡仁、敬、廷亙。因近傍晚時分，時天色昏暗，月光翳入濃雲之背，於其後發出異彩，陸離瑰麗，甚有情調，故相約於生態池進晚餐，共享此難得之情調。

然余等四騎至水源池之時，忽見鳥形生物數三，一黑二白，霸於賞月平台，拒人於其外。經吾等思周慮詳之見，此應為「鴨」。因路塞不通，吾等棄騎步行，攜購自小木屋之松餅，迂迴閃躲，終平安至賞月平台木椅安坐。然三鴨見狀，尾隨松餅香味而至，瞋其目，怒視吾等，似嘗迫余等獻出松餅。此三鴨以黑鴨為首，採個個擊破之策略，使以三面包夾之術，先迫頡仁。頡仁大驚，面目驚恐成「囧」狀。此時敬道：「此等雜碎，待我施以奇幻光術，彼等必不戰自退，爭先恐後而逃。此奇幻光術乃『閃光』也，閃光威力之巨，凡人姑且惡之，遑論鴨仔！」」言罷，於背包掏出小福單車手電筒，以閃光模式照射三鴨。不料三鴨不但無所懼，反而趨之若鶩，將覓食目標更為敬。

由於三鴨在側，吾等甚為緊張，經縝密討論後，議定對其施以誘導之策，聲東擊西，將松餅塊擲於遠處，誘其遠去，解燃眉之危。此法既出，初奏效，然三鴨足力甚佳，轉瞬而返，所得之安，僅須臾之間爾。余乃嘗試將松餅高舉，使其等無法接近。二白鴨見狀，棄而遠去，然黑鴨首領不但未退，反而踏其足於廷亙鞋上，伸長其頸，以近食物。廷亙受踏，身心受創，哀云：「此鴨欺我太甚！余等為之奈何！」。然上蒼似未聞其哀鳴，黑鴨持續踩踏其上，面路兇光，毫無退意，余等皆束手無策。

然而，危機乃是轉機，余於此時突然計上心頭，眉頭一皺，言曰：「余等可將右腳舉起，將鞋底對準此悍鴨之面，一來可阻其視線，二來可以足底之臭，易松餅之香，使其興趣索然而退。」敬等聞言，稱大善，於是四名生科大一男子，同舉右腳朝向黑鴨，四足比並於空，鞋底於空中交疊，輔以陰陽怪氣之笑聲，陣容壯觀，狀勢儼然。黑鴨見狀，乃知大勢已去，乃黯然撤退，危機因而解除。

局長曰：「此生態池之行，雖未見月宮之美，但此奇遇，亦堪稱永生難忘矣。 校訓有云：『敦品勵學，愛國愛人』此生態池之鴨，非但不愛人，更挾地主之優勢迫人，此乃欠缺教化也。故應建言校方，來日飼鴨，除餵食以外，應於其旁誦讀經書，以杏壇春風感化之。此舉方可造福後人，免於此驚恐之經歷也。」

真是個繁忙的兩週

在這段時間裡，我體驗到許多有趣的事物，包括參觀社團（單車、證券、國標）和系隊（系羽）、開生科系學會主辦的的「四級會議」、還有體會到老師（教授）可能曠課曠的比學生還嚴重XD。

不過其中最有趣者莫過於學會「載人」

堅信體重是影響載人的穩定度的重要因素，我先從溫洋菇小姐開始『練習』（你還有良心可言嗎？）

我們一起歷經了一段「永生難忘」的旅程。

今天台大舉行了類似開學典禮的儀式，

不簡單也不隆重，算是相當的搞笑，尤其是戲劇社在介紹服務學習的部分。

但是李嗣涔校長講的內容，算是相當的鏗鏘有力，要求我們「早睡早起」的那一段，更是一語中的。

中午開始是社團聯展，台大的社團多樣性，果然名不虛傳。

其中我比較有興趣的，依序是國標舞社、登山社、單車社、證券研究社、天文社、踢踏舞社、咖啡社、蛋研社、攝影社、國際英語演講社

看了伊翔的故事以後，其實我非常的感動。

我們每個人小時候，都曾有過無數的夢想，以及屬於童年的狂想曲。

但是隨著年紀的增長，社會的評價與學校的成績、同儕的壓力等等

我們逐漸的認為，我們擅長什麼，我們不擅長什麼。

我們能做什麼，我們不適合做什麼。
