『大秦帝國』,觀之有感

是這樣子,最近有看了『大秦帝國』,我看的是電子書,
大陸已經有拍成電視影集了~
這本書共有六本,從2001年開始第一部《黑色裂變》,從大家熟知的商鞅變法開始講起,
談論戰國時代的秦國是如何從秦孝公開始生根茁壯的。
這套書的作者是孫皓暉,據說是花了16年的時間準備。

這本書,算是個歷史小說,跟二月河的《康熙大帝》、《雍正王朝》、《乾隆皇帝》等大作相比,絲毫不相上下。
尤其是史料相對不多的春秋戰國,孫皓暉用上了不少大家熟悉的史料,
但是卻又跳脫了一般大家熟悉的『吳姐姐說歷史故事』的模式,
將每段故事給緊湊地拼裝起來。
像區原為何要投汨羅江,戰國四公子(信陵、平原、孟嘗、春申)之間的關係,齊國田單復國,秦國白起如何坑殺四十萬大軍等..

昨天晚上,因為室友心情極度憂悶,而且窗外看到超大的月亮;
想說到家裡附近走一圈,繞一下對面的賣場周邊。

我們家在Brisbane Annerley,剛好在十字路口上,斜對面是Wolly,
對面是PA Hospital;怎麼想都覺得應該沒事吧?!
有一個大男生陪著,女生在怎樣也應該還好….

結果………
在賣場附近商店逛啊逛,除了遇到一兩個看似國中生的小朋友,甚麼事情也沒有發生。

嗯嗯….正當室友心情好一些之後,而且也感覺真的有點涼意之後,
我們順著Ipswich Rd走回家時,….
我突然感覺肚子被甚麼東西重擊!
她媽的好痛啊!
當時有一部排氣管很囂張的藍色跑車經過。而且,好像有甚麼聽不清楚的叫囂聲。

Mail from Classmate, deeply moved!!

My classmate, Alexander, from Russia, wrote a letter to me, to encourage me to continuing seeking jobs. We only have one class in common, and he was graduated in Nov 2009.  The following is the mail:

Dear Yannick,

Thank you for the warm friendly message.

I am still in Brisbane looking for a job, but I have been invited today to an interview in Sydney. I have received two way air ticket to Sydney from the inviting company already and hopefully, they will invite me to work for them later. Unfortunately, it is not a semiconductor company. But, I shall accept their invitation to work, as I am unemployed now. My applications for positions in semiconductor companies are “hanging” since early October 2009. I cannot wait for responses from semiconductor companies any more. However, I should like to keep good relationship with UniQuest for possible future collaboration in the field of semiconductor technology.

Brewery Visiting, and Australia Day

Fixing others’ computers… well… is quite a stupid and angry thing. Everyone seeks for your help, and forgets at all after his/her laptop goes smoothly… Only silly guys would do it for free, like me… =_=

By the way, here is the photos of 4X Beer Brewery Tour. Well, this visiting is somehow complicated; you have to make a phone booking in advanced, and pay all attending fees before the tour starts. And the most important thing is, you cannot ask for refund while some of your companion could not come if you did not inform before 24 hours in front of the tour time. Damn it!!!
