进展

昨天做了的online test
email说今天10:00 a.m.GMT会发布另一个case study的instruction
必须在明天10:00a.m. GMT之前做完
"A case study based on Second Life"
我想了一下还是没有头绪会是什么
该不会是关于类似third world...WWF...UNESCO...UNICEF之类的吧？
还是哥本哈根协议之类的？核能后的Second Life?电讯辐射？
然后今天一大早守在电脑前
10点...没有最新邮件
ok...给人家一些buffer time
10点半...没有最新邮件
心想我的底线是11点吧
11点...我打电话给负责人
其实心里紧张的是深怕昨天的online assessment出了什么connection的问题
要是那样的话就白白浪费一个机会了
后来负责人问我如今身在何处
我说KL啊
然后过了一会儿再打来说
我不必做Part B的case study了那是给仍留在国外的人做的
原因他们以为我还在UK-_-
目前他们说等下一个电话和电邮吧
。
所以子弹准备好
下星期也许要上战场了

p/s:恕我孤陋寡闻后来research了一下莫非Second Life指的是这个？

备战

Done an online test just now for 2 hours.
Part of the recruitment and selection processes of a plc.
It consists of 3 Comprehensions
numerical test
logical test
and 2 essays.
.
and I could say it was quite hard
for a person with average english level like me.
.
The comprehension sounds like this:

"...Yet, it would be a mistake to leap to the conclusion that because human immaturity makes possible high flexibility, therefore anything is possible for the species. Human traits were selected for their survival value over a four-to-five-million-year period with a great acceleration of the selection process during the last half of that period. There were crucial, irreversible changes during that final man-making period : recession of formidable dentition, 50-percent increase in brain-volume, the obstetrical paradox- bipedalism and strong pelvic girdle, larger brain through smaller birth canal- immature brain at birth, and creation of what Washburn has called a “technical-social way of life” involving tool and symbol use. Note, however, that hominidization consisted principally of adaptations to conditions in the Pleistocene. These preadaptations, shaped in response to earlier habitat demands, are part of man’s evolutionary inheritance. This is not to say that close beneath the skin of man is a naked ape, that civilization is only a veneer....."

"......Neuroleptic drugs interfere with the action of dopamine, an important neurotransmitter in the brain, by binding to the dopamine receptors of nerve cells, and dopamine is a prime suspect in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Large doses of drugs such as amphetamines, which stimulate secretion of dopamine, produce a psychosis resembling schizophrenia. Reducing the activity of this neurotransmitter alleviates the delusions that cause psychotic behavior. Although the inhibition of dopamine activity can control psychotic behavior, researchers now believe that the central nervous system of some patients adapts to long-term therapy by increasing the number of specific dopamine binding sites. The net result is dopamine hypersensitivity, which is correlated with the subsequent appearance of tardive dyskinesia........The fact that psychoses can be controlled at the same time that tardive dyskinesia symptoms are reduced suggests that a drug more specifically affecting the mechanism of psychoses might not cause movement disorders. Sulpiride, a drug not available in the United States but widely used in Europe, where it was developed, may be one such alternative. The drug selectively blocks D-2 dopamine receptors, perhaps especially those in the limbic area of the brain, which is involved in emotion and behavior. It does not adversely affect the adenylate cyclase-linked D-1 dopamine receptors......."

Gosh....to carefully read those within a very limited timeframe.......and the numerical test killed me...Prime number...Degrees of lines and triangles......radius.....spheres....Matrix...Algebra.............@_@
.
And one of the essay asked which historical person would i like to dine with and the reason of it......wahaha...my first thought....without thinking too much as only 10 minutes are given for each essay....Chopin desu i wrote....
.
I would prefer doing subjective test now rather than multiple choices....directly expressing what your thought is is much more easier than making decision from a limited pool of choices...ain't it?
.
Tomorrow will be another test...hope that i will finally make it to the final phase~
Genkidesu!
Tiger year~Roarghhh！

Europe Trip - Day 08~Florence + Pisa, Italy. 佛罗伦萨+比萨，意大利 (11/9/09)

鸟瞰佛罗伦萨

据导游说这里是《冲上云霄》男女主角接吻的地方

在车上听了很多文艺复兴教王教堂 byzantine建筑风...

Panorama的名信片

文艺之伞？

这次轮到谁出场了？

还有这个

这个不够专业比起罗马的

如果说要这么装扮在街头卖艺
你想到什么？

女仆 hohoh

St. Marry 花教堂
白粉红绿的大理石

以前印象中教堂就只是尖顶和十字架
来到欧洲才大开眼界

乌菲兹Uffizzi Gallery

炎热的下午来到比萨

奇迹广场 Miracle Square

广场的四大建筑之一：The Baptistery 洗礼堂

The Duomo
主教座堂

The Camposanto

洗礼堂墓园

The Leaning Tower
钟楼~比萨斜塔

晚上回到酒店摄影师凯翔用他的Ricoh拍的
原料：灯源还有lower down相机的 shutter speed

那是蜻蜓如果有人看得出的话

看到蝴蝶后面穿粉红色的我么？

哈好好玩哦

Europe Trip - Day 07~Vatican City + Rome, Italy. 梵蒂冈 + 罗马，意大利 (10/9/09)

梵蒂冈世界上面积最小的国家
世界天主教中心

St. Peter's Basilica 圣彼得大教堂令人叹为观止

因为是神圣的地方所以要注意Dress Code
女生不能坦胸露背裤子裙子也要超过膝盖
否则不得进入教堂

画家广场

Pantheon 万神殿
没有我想象中那么神还是圣彼得大教堂较为震撼

上前合照的话可是要收费的哦

在做什么在做什么???

应该是要拍什么奇怪的照片吧？
我只知道后来保安有来阻止她们

Trevi Fountain

我并没有在这里许愿
还是比较小心自身安全因为导游说那里到处都是扒手
部分都是吉普赛女郎
要是Passport什么的被偷真是欲哭无泪耶

来意大利一定要吃冰淇淋
这里冰淇淋叫Gelato
导游说出名的口味是Pistachio
于是就点了Pistachio+Mint
这样的2大scoop是2欧

Pistachio味道蛮特别的啦 Melon也不错哦

滑滑的口感和...总之就是有别于平常吃到的
不知道大马Gelatissimo卖的Gelato是什么样的呢？

超酷热干燥的罗马

Victor Emmanuel II Monument
又称Wedding Cake Monument
一层层的

古罗马的残骸

现代罗马和古罗马对比

斗兽场 Coliseum

走着走着
《爱在西元前》自然浮现脑里

竟然发现法老王到罗马找吃????

在欧洲各个国家不难发现有许多街头艺人
以不同的装扮挣钱
利物浦街道上也有很多全身上下涂满金或银漆

（不懂是哪种可以洗的漆）
站在路边引人注目的“铜像”

原以为就只是站在那里
也没表演什么才艺这样挣钱也太容易了吧？
后来有幸看了整个变身过程
站好
打结

把打结处转去后面
拉紧
在才戴上面具
然后要一动不动的密不透风的
不知道要站上几个小时？也不知道可以赚多少？
（我很好奇要是有人恶作剧把法老王的钱罐拿走...
法老王会选择先脱掉金袍？还是就像僵尸那样跳着追？）

讲真要是盲踪踪那样走一个不留神
一定会吓到一下咯

英国的铜像艺人有时也会出其不意发出声音吓人的: P

夏天的意大利真的比大马还要晒

.
而赚钱什么时候都不是一件容易的事儿...

Europe Trip - Day 06~Venice, Italy. 威尼斯，意大利 (9/9/09)

经过了水乡荷兰树林德国松树林奥地利

来到了令人向往已久的意大利
水城威尼斯呵...
一个浪漫却面对消失于地球的危机之地
这么说起来有点像那些末日旅行哦

未乘搭渡轮到威尼斯群岛之前
发现当地很有趣的纪念品
erm...不知道有谁敢穿吗?
也许会被警察抓说影响市容也不定XD

乘搭渡轮

到St. Mark Square 圣马可广场去

发现这个...乍看以为是什么
近看超恶心的 : P
hmm...这样形容会不会好听一点
“代表着世界各地”的口香糖

据导游说意大利很多地方多少都有被黑社会控制着
进城得给进城费
那里的导游也太多了所以得给额外费用聘请当地导游
这些所谓的当地导游
称为"Mute Guide"
不用说些什么随便接待一下三十分钟
50欧就袋袋平安（还是compulsory要给的）
那个威猛的男士就是“护送”我们过海的人咯
不确定非团体旅者需不需要给这种费用
不过倒是开了眼界一下当地的culture
