Lately I've been in some unfortunate situations; i.e., ID theft, my all saving was stolen, passport was forged by criminals, laptop was dead and now have another unlucky problem.
I had a serious toothache on Wednesday evening. My molar tooth was chipped around 1x1.5mm and it was chipped to gum line. I was seriously in pain due to the expose nerve. I guess if I had a gun, I may blow my head off. I called Oscar for his opinion about how to find a dentist to deal with such an urgent case. I also look into NHS website to see what valid information would be helpful. In the next day morning, Ariel gave me a morning call so I could make calls to hospitals and private service for such an emergency. After making 20s phone calls. Eventually there was only one dental service in Whitington will provide emergent slot. Most of dental services do not take urgent case and do not accept new patients as well. Some did accept me but only will give me treatment till the end of June. (I'd definitely go insane.) I was so desperate to find a dentist.

The other day when I was installing a software, suddenly I can't recall which one, but if I could find it again, I'll update in this article. I was trying to install the programme in 'traditional Chinese' version; however, I can't find the selection for language but only found the software use country name to decide the language. I was surprised to see how they define country: 'People Republic of China'（中華人民共和國）and 'Republic of China'（中國）. My British friends saw this and was surprised at the selection titles. They were asking me why I don't try to find 'Taiwan'. It's hard for me to explain the details about KMT moving to Taiwan and viewing Taiwan as a 'real China'.
In UK, I prefer to mention that I am from 'Taiwan' rather than saying that 'I am from R.O.C.'. When I travelled with a friend of mine from China to Italy, I saw how airline was confused with two different types of passport associating with 'China' titles. They were asking me where exactly I am from and where my friend is from. (Well, it seems that people who work in the airport check-in desk need more training.) I often say that I am from Taiwan where is based in Chinese culture and we can't deny that Taiwan and China have a shared cultural background. (Well, in International Business concept, we would say it's about the 'psychic distance', which China and Taiwan are quite close due to a shared bond of cultural background.)

好幾次去市中心都會看到George Sampson還有其他更年輕的小夥子表演，小夥子們各各輪番上陣跳街舞；可以感受到他們是為生活打工糊口，真是辛苦了。不過紅了之後，若被簽了約，也不會在市中心的街上看到他了。

最近天天吃三明治，實在是愛吃三明治，應該是說最愛吃義大利款式的三明治跟英國Deli home-made三明治；至於那個超市的三明治就敬謝不敏了（對我來說是低劣難吃至極點，三明治內夾肉的口味又得花上個兩鎊以上，明目張膽的坑人有理作風，標準一副愛買不買隨顧客的態度，超市狡猾地算計著「姜太公釣魚，願者上鉤的心態」）。

春天又是拍花的大好時節，只是今年沒特別多拍花卉，覺得去年的花似乎比今年嬌豔許多，或許是我心境上黯淡些許。照片裡呈現夜晚（前三張）與白天（後三張）對比下，散發出不同風格的花叢氣質。看著照片覺得夜晚里的花，氣勢上更加冶豔囂張，而白天又恢復柔和大方的氣質。

I've been reviewing paper regarding tasks, teamwork and ICTs within these few weeks. Then I further develop my International Business research to associate with the concept of 'knowledge transfer' within MNCs under two dimensions, which are 'geotemporal boundaries and contextual distance 'and 'different levels of organisation network (nodal, dyadic and systemic levles)'.
Since my data resources provide an insightful understanding of individual behaviour, I could inspect the micro-foundation of knowledge sharing/learning during the process of knowledge transfer. Lately, I try to find a strategy to develop a 'codebook' to analyse my data resource from the theories. I study how Polanyi (1966) distinguished 'tacit knowledge' (or 'implicit') and 'explict knowledge', and then, adopt the concept of knowledge creation by Nonaka (1994) to review the four processes, which are: socialisation, combination, internalisation and externalisation.

I enjoyed the film '300' very much. Whenever I watch it, I always enjoy the lines and the way that narrator delivers. I am particularly impressed by the lines of:
no time for softness
no room for tolerance

心情不好，但是還是控制自己的情緒。這個月的心情很不好，首先是個人護照被莫名盜用，還被竄改成英國護照，銀行錢被掏空，繳房租都沒錢了，筆記電腦掛了，不知道怎掛的，但是知道不是過熱問題，看樣子是CPU跟motherboard的問題，虧我一個月前還特地整修。至少拆了硬碟測試後，沒掛，資料還在。想哭都哭不出來，跟媽媽說，先想辦法解決，不行再哭，哀悼一番的逝去。
老Ｏ說，東西壞，錢不見都可以，只要人平安健康都好，還好有老Ｏ跟家人的幫助，真的很感謝大家的支持！也謝謝電話裡老爹老媽拼命說話，安撫我不安的情緒。

自從ID被盜用的事件發生後，老ｏ陪著我東奔西跑，去了警察局報警，跟銀行提出質疑問題後，等了兩天終於等到我區域的警察，看到警察騎著腳踏車來訪作筆錄。警察友善的不可思議，從好天氣開始聊起，聊事件發生問題，最後提供一些我可能被盜用的ID證明，整整花了兩三個小時筆錄。但是看著很性感的黑白混血的警察，至少不會太無聊，又挺養眼的（徹底顯現出部份上了年紀的女人就像是豺狼虎豹的心態～）。
不過警察在筆錄幫我填表格時，讓我突然發現警察表格問的問題還真有趣（距離警察半尺距離，我是沒完整看到表格）：

春天好時光跟Ariel去了Chester一日遊，一直沒時間整理照片，當天走的好累，花了不少時間找了價錢合理的餐廳，晃來晃去Ariel眼尖找了家英式傳統Pub，是傳統的維多利亞建築。中午吃了很享受的一份午餐，吃完後才發現自己忘記加鹽，難怪味道少了，先把當天的食物post上來。
Ariel點了薯條炸魚（比目魚）。

媽媽有天自誇說自己手工製作的可樂餅是人間美味，花了一個下午從磨馬鈴薯泥開始，做了不少可樂餅；晚上吃到外酥內軟的可樂餅，入口即化，果然是料好、實在、味美，讓我吃了後是讚不絕口。

把高雄夜晚的愛河之心用展開圖來呈現。一回台灣後，老媽就帶我去愛河之心獻寶，我就說我老爸老媽繳的稅都有作用了，把自己家裏後面的公園建的如此的華麗，夜晚的美景都讓我目不暇給，晚上來這裡散步探險，真是會讓人驚艷的美麗公園啊！
