Delusions I saw an interesting saying today. There are three delusions in your life: Your phone is ringing, someone is knocking the door and he likes me. 今天我看到一个有趣的说法。人生三大幻觉：手机在震，有人敲门，他喜欢我。

Drink Bottle I bought a new drink bottle today for my son. I found an instruction inside the bottle to tell me how to clean it. How complicated a drink bottle could be?! There are three parts of the lid: straw holder, valve assembly and spout. Firstly, remove the straw for best results. Turn underside of the lid up and pull up straw holder and valve assembly to separate from spout. Then rinse thoroughly. Insert valve assembly into spout, straw holder into valve assembly and straw into straw holder. (Can it be more complicated ?) Push straw up as far as possible to nest correctly into lid. The most unbelievable reminder is a sentence written in Black Bold Font and all in capital: RINSE LID IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE. How could I rinse my drink bottle every time after I have a sip?

Misunderstanding Last Friday, I recommended italki to one of my colleagues. He is an Australia bloke, speaks in a very native Australian accent. The reason I share with him is that I think maybe he needs money. He once had a second hand car and it was on installment. But one of the car’s main parts broke down. He couldn’t drive it at all because fixing the old car was more expensive than buying another car. Since then, he has to spend one and a half hours one way by train and walk to work everyday. I thought maybe he could work as a community teacher and make some money from here because at least he is a native English speaker. However, the funniest thing is that he completely got me wrong. He thought I was fond of learning different languages. Then, he showed me a lot of translation App and how to say hello and goodbye in many different languages. At the end of the day, before my departure, he said a sentence in a whatever language and told me it means “goodbye young lady” in German...

Baking Gavin always complains that I am a mum could not bake. Actually, I know nothing about cooking or baking and have little interests. But Gavin is quite like his dad. He likes cooking in the school so much. He beg me to bake a cake for him for a long time. Because I wanted to prepare some snacks for the twin babies recently, I decided to BAKE once! I searched on line for the easiest snack to make for little babies. And it came out - Yogurt melts. In fact, I made some adjustment and skipped the yogurt, just using the yolk. Firstly, get 3 yolks. Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into it. Put 3 scoops of baby formula powder (MUST USE FORMULA). Then blend with whisk. After well blending, pour the paste into the icing bag. I only got the nozzle for cream which is too big for the baby snack. So it run too fast to keep the beautiful round shape. But anyway, squeeze the paste onto the baking paper. Move the baking paper to the baking tray. I set the oven temperature from 100 degrees and I turned on a little bit about 130 degrees afterwards. About 15-20 minutes later, we got the melts! It would really melt in your mouth and is very suitable for babies. It took about 30 minutes to do. I didn't do any preparation so it ends up with a mess on the kitchen table. LOL

Day 1 I always feel it is a little bit difficult for me to describe a thing happened in daily life to my English speaking colleagues. I always stop and spend time to think about what tense I should use, what words I want to use. Today when I am driving, I think maybe I can write some sentences just like dairy and ask some native speakers to review and correct for me. That's why I found here. I think this is really a good way to improve my English. I will try to write a paragraph and correct one Chinese paragraph every day. I corrected 3 paragraphs today and found it is a burden for me while one is perfect and I can keep the quality. I will come tomorrow, if I can remember.
