倾盆大雨 - flash flood

清晨下了一场短暂的曝雨，路上都淹水了。

i5038 情况如何呢？七点被雷声，雨声及水流声吵醒。发现家里楼下厨房天花板漏水。同时楼上阳台因管道被泥沙堵著不通水，积水流入主人房一小部份。但屋里没大面积淹水，算幸运了。

校方及时通过电邮通知大家今日休假一天，呼吁大家尽量留在家中，注意防漏电。同时公布解患方案，即尤先处理疏通积水的道路，及安置屋里淹水的住户，再处理屋子漏水的投诉。

傍晚时遇到邻居一家四口准备开车入住 Jeddah 的 Intercontinental Hotel。原来他们清晨五点半发现屋里不止漏水，false ceiling 也塌下来了。校方就把他们分配到那里去。

现在唯一担心的是 false ceiling 何时会塌下来。

下一场大雨吗？何时来袭呢？还好家人不在这里。不怕啦！

后来看到两辆类似载汽油的大卡车停在canal 桥上，工作人员把大量的水从车厢注入小运河里。原来他们到处抽取积水解水患，忙了一天！

宝宝呢

原来宝宝呢最近在学物理呢！

F=mg ; gravity test - 玩丢东西。

F=-kx ， torque=Fx; sping back from mattress and sofa - 享受往后及往前跌的乐趣，当然就被妈妈及时阻止了！

晓宁是妈妈的 fans 。她喜欢摸妈妈的脸和捏妈妈的鼻子。痛得妈妈厉声警告她。

被妈妈说了晓宁还会念念有词。当然有时还会有一脸受委屈的表情。

不过晓宁被打屁股时却乐开怀，展现她那甜美灿烂的笑容，以为这是另一种游戏方式呢！

哦！那是真，善，美的笑容阿! 宝宝呢！

注释: 宝宝呢是晓宁的昵称。

挑灯会寒战

Office 实在冷。

天天都在跟低温抗衡。除了多穿衣服，喝热饮，晒灯泡就是最后防线。

周末会去买寒衣 - 有吗？

买不到的话，我想不久就能适应 Saudi “境内” 的寒冷了。哈哈！

Special tuna delight for dinner

That was for last night after falling sick for 2 days - just having mild fever, on-and-off. Felt lethargic all day long and kept falling asleep.

So for dinner, I decided to stay at home and cook something to balance the "chi". The results is a perfect tuna soup dish nourished with natures best creation for health - lettuce, ginger, garlic and chili padi. Well lots of garlic and ginger with 4 chili padi, and the remaining half of the lettuce I have in the fridge.The garlic and ginger were mostly dissolved in the soup and every ingredient are well blended, and so the taste was incredible!

With taste-bud fully satisfied, it was time to work hard - till 2am.

View around the island canal

[Above] To the left of the canal are the single-occupant double-storey apartments. My accommodation is located behind this row of apartments, across a street. To the right hand side is the sports center, where the gym, and bowling center are.

[Above] Another view of the same row of apartment taken while standing on a short bridge linking the island to the main land. This is the northern view of the short bridge.

[Above] Here comes the southern view of the short bridge. The beige colour building on the left hand side is Inn-2. Take note of the rectangular tower between Inn-2 and the mosque. This is where the university buildings are.

[Above] Palm trees and Inn-2. There are two inns, namely Inn-1 and Inn-2. Both are used to house female students at the moment.

[Above] Inn-2, mosque, and the beacon is at the far end to the right hand side.

Torny trees.

“自强不息 ，力求上进” 。 共勉之。

Imagine that the area were originally a desert. Now it is nourishing a young university, “a place of light, of liberty, and of learning", as Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881), a British statesman and novelist, put it.

这是事在人为和前人种树后人遮荫的体现。

Beyond the boundary of the university, there is a state run economic city awaiting the graduates and entrepreneurs to bring further progress and economic diversification for the country, and human race.

小辣椒炒葁蒜虾 外加 煎鱼一条

今天Discovery Center里有摊子摆卖当地海鲜和香料，我买了一条鱼，鲜虾250克，共 27 riyal （10+17 ）。我把虾做的还像样，鱼则失手煎得乱七八糟，但还算是丰富的一餐。满意！
