几个月前买了一盆非洲菊，买来时已经开花，但花谢后茎开始腐烂、叶片开始掉落。我看情形不对，赶忙把土给换了。我在盆底换上疏松排水良好的沙质壤土，上面加上肥沃腐殖质的土壤。然后把它搬到早上日照足、通风的角落。（浇水、施肥时，切忌将水、肥淋入叶丛和花蕾上，以免引起烂花和烂叶片。）
一个月的细心照顾下，非洲菊从新长新叶、结花蕾、开花啦~

Break-up and Make-up
Sheldon has kept The Big Bang Theory interesting for all these years in large part because his own evolution is interesting, thus resulting ShAmy's interesting evolution. They aren't perfect for each other just because they are the two biggest weirdos on the show, they are perfect because Amy has shown endless patience for Sheldon and Sheldon has shown willingness to try new things and try to make Amy happy.
However, like any relationships, they have their struggles. Finally, we see their love's roller coaster ride, just like everyone else.
Firstly Amy wanted to "take a break" and it turned into an actual breakup when Sheldon being selfish and immature. So what happens when a man with an IQ of 187 gets his heart broken? As it turns out: He acts just like an average person. Sheldon wallowed and whined; got angry, and petty. Sheldon continue to try to woo Amy instead of respecting her space......
After the anger / confuse period, he tried to move on. He took up fencing, he asked women out, and he got his heart broken again.....
1) They break up!!
2) The good way to move on
3) Heartbroken
Then, they tried to be friend again. They had such a great time together and it reminded Amy of all the good things between them. She wanted to be his girlfriend again but Sheldon said he can't. "Amy, I excel at many things, but getting over you wasn't one of them," he says. "I think I need to just be your friend."
4) Sheldon and Amy Try To Be Friends
5) Amy wants to get back together
Finally, Sheldon came into his realization. He needs Amy in his life. She makes him a better man. At first, it doesn't seem Sheldon learned much in the time he and Amy were broken up. But he finally learned to be able to more clearly express the way he feels, and learned to recognize the way he feels.
6) Sheldon and Amy Get Back Together
7) Special Gift
"Intimacy in any form has been challenging for me, but I'd like to show her how important she is, and it feels like now might be the right time." ~ Sheldon
Sheldon picked the best gift, again! "Amy's birthday present will be my genitals."
So Sheldon and Amy finally spent their first night together. There’s unfiltered joy and happiness. I love the "before scene", where Amy and Sheldon are quiet, tender, and adorably nervous. The writing is smart, the acting is perfect, and everything comes together just as it should.
We shall wait and see what happens next.....

家香茶室
我们听说家香茶室好久了，这次终于找了个好借口，大伙儿约定了一个周末，大老远的到Pulau Betong吃海鲜去。
 |
| 浮罗山背Pulau Betong淳朴渔村 |
由于听闻他们可以代客煮海鲜，停了车，我们立刻兴致勃勃地往渔民停泊的地方奔去。去了才发觉我们当中没有选海鲜高手，大家有点儿不知所措，最后决定回到家香茶室直接点菜就是了。
 |
| 家香茶室就是左边那家小店 |
由于是在渔村，我在开车往Pulau Betong的路上就一直想着煎炸小鱼，可惜家香老板说当天没小鱼，我们最后乖乖点了一尾红鱼。我想吃lala、balitong之类的蚌类也没了，下次真的得提早到达。
由于有孕妇同行（再加上我们超级懒惰），蟹我们可不点了。而同行的又胃口不大，最后我们海鲜倒吃得不多，带着少少遗憾，改天带几个大吃王来弥补。
吃海鲜嘛，只要新鲜必然好吃。而我们千里迢迢来到渔村吃，新鲜是必然的，也没必要大肆称赞。反正，简简单单地蒸了最好吃。豆豉排骨是他们周日才作的小菜，汁拿来淋饭好开胃。
 |
| 家香豆腐 - RM9 |
 |
| Salumi - RM8 |
 |
| 红鱼江山美人 - RM40 |
 |
| 大虾蒸酒 - RM50 |
 |
| 甘香苏东 - RM25 |
 |
| 豆豉排骨 - RM20 |
是不是值得千里迢迢到这儿吃呢？这有点儿见仁见智。食物的确价廉物美，但不至于叫人销魂难忘。然而，我自小被爸爸训练成爱“趴趴走”，我享受“觅食”的感觉，也爱这种乡趣环境。久久来一次还真无妨。
（许多人没吃过salumi，我们那天在家香也讨论了许久。这是我家传统菜肴，一直以来我们都管这叫sailumi，问妈妈华语叫什么总免不了要被骂的“sailumi就sailumi啦，我哪里知道”。由于要写这部落格，我就依据娘惹语言上的思路，google了sayur rumi，还真给我找着。据说英文叫Pigwort Watercress，也不知真假，真叫人抓狂）

悠然而往
一晃，一个月过去了。千般滋味、万般感触都已沉淀。十六年岁月浓缩成一滴眼泪，在生命的湖泊中甚至翻不起一阵涟漪……该在生命中留下的珍贵都留下了，该在生命中遗忘的也没记起了……
朋友们问，在做些什么呢？我总答不上来。“悠然而往，悠然而来而已矣。” 算不算答案？只能说我渴望不惑，却一直还在寻觅。而立都还有距离，从心所欲简直遥不可及。

The Only Conclusion Was Love
Amy and Sheldon have been the most interesting couple on The Big Bang Theory. They are both outcasts, both awkward. These two outcasts continue to build a life together, find solace in each other, and they can at least rely on each other.
From defining Amy as a girl who is his friend but not his girlfriend, to the relationship of the minds, Sheldon finally evolved into someone that actually involved in a romantic relationship.
1) Sheldon Cooper kisses Amy Farrah-Fowler.
Sheldon Cooper kisses Amy Farrah-Fowler.
On the lips.
And likes it.
Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik acting are always fun to watch when the writers decided to show some softer side of Sheldon and Amy. In this episode, I love how Sheldon kiss with Amy initially "came out of anger" and enjoyed it once he got there. I also love how Amy doesn't know what to do or prefer not to do anything with her hands.
The kiss was only made better when Sheldon asked Amy to go with him to see the train's engineer. He finally noticed that she is as important to him as his other interests, and he wanted to share them with her.
2) Sheldon says I love you to Amy
Here was how Dr. Sheldon Cooper first told his girlfriend that he loves her.
“There’s no denying I have feelings for you that can’t be explained in any other way,” he said. “I briefly considered that I had a brain parasite, but that seems even more far-fetched. The only conclusion was love.”
This confession was so shocking, coming from Sheldon. Sheldon doesn't say what he doesn't mean. The fact that Sheldon finally could recognize that he loves Amy is another milestone in his crusade of ever becoming a better partner for her.
3) Sheldon bought the perfect gift
Like I said earlier, Sheldon always give the most enthralling and tantalizing gifts, even when he was trying to 'seek revenge against his girlfriend'. His plan was to surprise her with the gift and make her feel guilty for not getting him anything. "I hope you treasure this as much as I treasure you."
4) Sheldon and Amy announce they are getting a turtle
Sheldon and Amy hold hands to announce some significant news! Break out the champagne and congratulate the happy couple—Sheldon and Amy are getting a turtle! “We care so much about each other, there’s enough left over for an eight ounce reptile.”
5) Our kids will be Martians
Sheldon was applying to be one of the first people to colonize Mars but he neglected to tell Amy about his application. Amy told him that what she wants is “for us to be planning our future together.” Ultimately, Sheldon got the hint that Amy is hurt and they gently found a way to work through it and talked about their future together.
6) Shamy's Fort
Sheldon and Amy building a fort together on date night, doing what they can to counteract the years of neglect they suffered as kids. And to our surprise, Sheldon suggested they suspend the date night parameters so Amy can stay later. Amy negotiated a sleepover, and she got a G-rated sleepover!
From defining Amy as a girl who is his friend but not his girlfriend, to the relationship of the minds, Sheldon finally evolved into someone that actually involved in a romantic relationship.

It has to be perfect

Who would’ve thought you two would be the first in our group to start a family

Amy told him that what she wants is “for us to be planning our future together.” Ultimately, Sheldon got the hint that Amy is hurt and they gently found a way to work through it and talked about their future together.
If I'm going to a barren, lifeless planet, I want you there with me

Paradigm Altered
We finally see more of the softer side of Sheldon when Sheldon and Amy finally started their "relationship of the minds". Throughout this boyfriend / girlfriend relationship, Sheldon showed small gestures from time to time, progressed really slowly, and I found that sweet and heartwarming. I love how the writers are trying to find a logical, yet organic way to develop this weird little romance.
1) I would not object to us no longer characterizing you as not my girlfriend
2) The Tiara!!!
Sheldon and Amy encountered their first problem in their boyfriend/girlfriend relationship. When Amy got upset after Sheldon showed no reaction to her article making the cover of a prestigious journal, he turned to Leonard and Penny for advice on how to be a better boyfriend.
3) Amy's Campaign
4) Sheldon holds Amy's hand
Perhaps the greatest leap forward in Sheldon's willingness to show his softer, more emotional side to Amy is when he voluntarily, without any prior prompt from Amy, held Amy's hand while Howard's Soyuz capsule was being launched into space.
5) Sheldon romantic speech to Amy
6) Sheldon taking care of Amy
Many people like this episode because of the hint of "kinkiness" but I like the fact that Sheldon did it because “I made a commitment in writing to comfort you in times like this. And additionally, you are my girlfriend and I care about your well-being.” Sheldon doing almost anything that is justified in the name of science or reason. In that case, she was sick enough that she needed to be bathed; she needed to have something rubbed on her bare chest. (by the way, the bloopers from this episode are really cute)
7) Amy is now comfort to Sheldon
Initially the pair took on more of an academic, personal relationship than a romantic relationship, gradually, the barriers started to drop, as Sheldon overcame his touch aversion. And before Sheldon noticed, Amy has become a comfort to him. Sheldon needed to be held and consoled by Amy when he is very upset about Kripke
8) Amy is Sheldon's emergency contact
Sheldon always give the most enthralling and tantalizing gifts. Even before he started to really show some effort in being romantic in later seasons, he already showed his potential in gifts giving in Season 6 Valentine's Day episode. Amy is now his emergency point of contact at the university. (Well, I thought, if I have a stroke or a kidney stone, who would I want to share that with?)
9) Sheldon reveals if he will ever sleep with Amy
This is one of my favorite scene (both story wise and acting wise). I was shocked and thrilled to hear Sheldon admits that he is quite fond of Amy, that he’s working on his lifelong aversion to the physical contact that comes naturally to others, and that potentially, somewhere down the line, he could see himself actually sleeping with Amy. Sheldon’s honest admission shows that he may not always realize when he’s doing/saying something wrong but he is working on improving himself. Amy and Sheldon both give just as much to their relationship, they just do it in different ways.
10) Love Spell
This is a lovely episode which managed to address character dynamics in believable fashion while throwing us the usual geeky entertainment with style.
Sheldon and Amy got physical in the context of Dungeons and Dragons. What maybe is a small step to other people, is as big of a step to these characters. Sheldon and Amy's frank discussion of what their relationship is illustrated that progress beautifully. Amy understands Sheldon. Sometimes she does want more from him but she also understands why their relationship is what it currently is. Despite Sheldon's issues, Sheldon gets Amy. While their progress toward intimacy has been moving at an incredibly slow pace, progress has been made—which shows that Sheldon is trying and that he does truly care about her.

The Tiara!
3) Amy's Campaign
Amy has embarked on a campaign to increase Sheldon's feelings for her. Their "romantic dinner" was a unique and successful one, at least for Amy. However, my favorite part is when Sheldon confessed to Leonard that he was having affectionate feelings for her and kept thinking about her at inappropriate times. The way Sheldon explained how the random particles morphed into Amy's dandruff on her slightly humped shoulders is just sweet.
Shamy's Romantic Dinner
Sheldon engages in the tradition of whining about his woman
4) Sheldon holds Amy's hand

5) Sheldon romantic speech to Amy
Of course Sheldon will express his feelings this way. I can imagine him feeling awkward, don't know how to express the feelings that are new to him, and opted for hiding behind the Spiderman and gave that touching speech. The strength of Jim Parsons as an actor makes his words believable.
Sheldon romantic speech
6) Sheldon taking care of Amy

悟空
看“中国新歌声”，听见单良在盲选时的“悟空”，觉得他完全唱不出这首曲子的内涵，于是我又上网把戴荃给找出来了。
在中国好声音第二季时，庾澄庆组的《妹妹你大胆地往前走》已经让我喜欢上戴荃（那时好像没看过他的盲选，到了PK赛才见到戴荃，哈林选了蘑菇兄弟，我好庆幸汪峰把戴荃给救了）。
到了“中国好歌曲”，这‘大师兄’简直就叫人惊艳了！《悟空》的歌词对人物刻画和角度不太一样，很特别，而且他不仅仅是把戏曲的腔调揉进了歌里，还把戏剧惯有的曲折冲突体现在歌词上，很叫人震撼。“叫一声佛祖，回头无岸”，听得我泪都流了……
这一棒，叫你灰飞烟灭。
他音乐底子好，文化底蕴深厚，最重要是他对于自己的文化和音乐有着浓浓感情。在大家都哈日哈韩、崇拜西方文化的世界里，中文流行乐坛上需要这样一号人物。

编曲：戴荃
月溅星河，长路漫漫，
风烟残尽，独影阑珊；
谁叫我身手不凡，谁让我爱恨两难，
到后来，肝肠寸断。
幻世当空，恩怨休怀，
舍悟离迷，六尘不改；
且怒且悲且狂哉，是人是鬼是妖怪，
不过是，心有魔债。
叫一声佛祖，回头无岸，
跪一人为师，生死无关；
善恶浮世真假界,尘缘散聚不分明，
难断！
我要这铁棒有何用，
我有这变化又如何；
还是不安，还是氐惆，
金箍当头，欲说还休。
我要这铁棒醉舞魔，
我有这变化乱迷浊；
踏碎灵霄，放肆桀骜，
世恶道险，终究难逃。
这一棒，叫你灰飞烟灭。
