we were tired to do the project

It was 5 o'clock in the morning. All members in our lab had been tired with doing the project. We already worked for many hours. Then, they find sometime to rest, and they would get ready for continue the work... well, at that time, I am still awake and recorded those memorable photos~ hehe ^-^

Exhibition- 백남준's work

All kinds of old and strange TVs can be found here.

Ocarina Concert

The sound of Ocarina is really beautiful. it was described as 하늘소리. I feel the same way. They played many Christmas music, which brought people a mood of Christmas.

Jungmi is sleeping

정미Jungmi, my lab mate, was sleeping in her seat. I was taking a picture of her. ..

Decoration on ID building

The decoration on our building. all for Christmas...

돌솥밥&설렁탕

The way people ate during this meal was fresh for me. firstly, we took out the rice from the stone iron pot. A layer of rice was left in the pot(scorched rice누룽지锅巴). Then, we filled in some water and left it aside. After finishing the 설렁탕, it was the time to eat the scorched rice. The pot was really hot when it was served at beginning. It is used to make this kind of scorched rice, and korea people really love it. But people usually don't make scorched rice in home because it is not easy to cook.

The last time treatment- acupuncture

With these 5 times' treatments, my foot recover very fast. Now I can run slowly. I am also amaized by that. Also I'd like to thank 기태오빠, otherwise maybe I am still in my plastic cast. and spend 50 minutes from dorm to lab everyday.

UCD members

Sanne was in her last class. UCD class members were geting together to wish her good luck.

Making coffee

대업오빠 (with his blanket) was making coffee. It took some time because he has to fill in the water slowly. Korean people really like coffee, some of them are really like black coffe. I began to drink more coffee than I was in china. I only drink coffe which mixed with milk and sugar.

in library

A corner in library. what interested me is that there is a blanket on the chair. KAIST students bring their blanket wherever they go~. It is quite commen in KAIST.

Food: 오뎅뚝배기

오뎅뚝배기 Japanese style noodle. We had dinner in a Japanese restaurant today. before I entered the restaurant, I was told that we were going to have japanese noodle. That reminded me the time when I was intern in Motorola. I often went to the japanese restaurant to have noodle. The whole picture of the japanese noodle as well as the smell and taste came up to my mind...Sometime later, our orders were served. but the noodle was not as same as I imagined. It looked more like Jigae ^-^! The japanese style noodle had already customized to Korea style food that you can "see" the spicy~ . It is hot and spicy. I have to keep drinking the cold water to reduce the hot feeling in my mouth. And still, I enjoy it~ 我们在一家日式饭馆吃的晚饭，在我进入饭馆之前，朋友告诉我我们要吃日式面条，这使我想起我在摩托罗拉实习的那段日子，我们经常去一家日本餐馆吃日本面。 我脑海里立刻浮现了餐盘上的一大碗日本面和伴餐，似乎也回味起面的味道。但当这家餐馆的服务员端上我们的晚餐，我才发现，日本面已经变成韩式的日本面了，那样子看上去更像Jigae(韩国典型的食物）。面的辣味十足，我需要不停的喝凉水来减轻嘴里火辣的感觉尽管如此，我还是尽情的享受了这顿韩式的日本面。

Snow again

Snow again~ I love snow

A little knowledge of taking photo^^

By adjusting the aperture size, the photo will show different effect. when taking this photo, the apertue is tightly closed. Comparing to the photo below,the whole picture is much clear. When wild open the aperture size, the focus will be getting smaller. we can see that the toy in the photo is clear while the around area is blur . Depth of field(DOF) is 'the range of focus'. In other words, DOF is the sharpness of front and back of the focus object(target).Deep DOF means the image has wide(from front to rear) range of focus.You'll get clear background.Shallow DOF means the image has narrow range of focus.You'll get blurry background. The major factors affecting DOF are: 1) Focal length of the lens. Short focal length=deep DOF. 2) The aperture size. Narrow aperture=deep DOF. 3) The distance of object. Distant object=deep DOF. Aperture is the hole to accept lights. Suppose the size of aperture is really small... like a pinhole. And suppose that you are seeing an object through the pinhole.You'll use only one eye and just can see the front of the object through the pinhole.You can't see left or right side of the object. You can hardly sense the distance between you and the object, and also the distance between the object and the background. Next, when the aperture size is big enough as the size of a soccer ball, you will be able to use both of your eyes, see front and also some of the left, right side of the object. Now you can fill the distance of the object. The bigger size of the hole(aperture) means the wider angle of incoming light rays.Wide angle of light rays tend to produce more 3-dimensional images.But actually the image is 2-dimensional, out-of-focus areas are blurred.On the other hand, narrow angle of light rays produce flat images. Links of explaining DOF: http://smad.jmu.edu/dof/ http://www.vanwalree.com/optics/dof.html Note: there are some letters on the dial. "M"stands for "Manual", it means user can set the Aperture size and Shutter speed; "Av"stands for "Aperture value",It means When you set the aperture size, camera will determine appropriate Shutter speed. "Tv" stands for "Time value". You set the time(Shutter speed), camera sets aperture size automatically."P" is "Program". Camera determines everything according to its 'program'. this mode is suitable for the person like me to use. ^^! it is simple...[Some camera has different labels :Av = Fv = F/Tv = Sv = S]

닭매운탕

닭매운탕 It tastes good especially the chicken. It is a little bit spicy, but I begin to enjoy it~ 辣鸡汤，味道不错。我已经习惯韩国菜的辣了，所以每顿饭我都享受其中^-^

CAFFELATTE

CAFFELATTE (까페라떼) It tastes good~What interests me is that the red pipe is flat. It is used for hot drink. At first, I didnt know that. I thought it was a stick just used for mixing the coffe. Another new thing for me^-^! What will be the next?

Big family

A party for Sanne & Helma, We enjoy getting together. 和教授，实验室成员在一起。

Christmas tree

This is my first time to decorate a Christmas tree, I was so excited~. The tree is really beautiful, it makes me begin to feel happy because of the Christmas' comming. ^-^ 第一次装饰圣诞树，让我很兴奋。圣诞树很漂亮，有了它，实验室里充满了圣诞的气氛。

My cozy place

My cozy place in lab~I love it~ 实验室里我的位子。实验室很温馨，像家一样，我经常在实验室里过夜。

Experience acupuncture

It was not as hurt as I thought. And after the acupuncture, I felt much better. it is amazing~. After the treatment, I am very curious about why the western style dorctor asked me to keep my foot stable, while the eastern style doctor asked me to exercise my ankle. I don't know who is right, but after I throw away my plaster, I walk faster than before. 为了我的脚快点好，我尝试了针灸疗法，这是我第一次体验扎针灸，没我想象的疼，很轻松就结束了一个疗程。卸掉固定架后，我能走得快一些，可能是固定架能疼了我的脚，所以我不敢走得很快。看来东西方疗法还是有很大的不同的，西医固定我的脚，不让它动，而中医劝我尽量活动脚腕，谁对呢？

I strained my ankle

This is the first time I hurt myself so seriously, but I enjoy it. For me, every new things are welcome~. 不小心扭伤了脚，戴上了固定架，哪是新材料，和打石膏的效果是一样的，只是这种材料更方便。这是我第一次体验如此包扎，很新鲜^-^

I have my blog today~

I have my blog today. I am a blogger from now on~~
