昨天傍晚出去转转。走到一家西人超市，刚进去，迎面突然出现一个青年男人。长什么样子根本没印象了，因为我没有端详陌生人面孔的习惯。他个子高高的，戴着一个长长的项链，拿着一杯咖啡，身上散发着明显的酒气，过来就熟练地对我们说，他和很多人说了，没人相信他，他要换乘公交车，然后反复地说，我在跟你们请求。我害怕他是坏人，就装聋作哑，他看没戏就奔向下一个目标了。
先生以为那人在说足球，问我那人到底是干什么的，看起来不像好人。真奇怪，有钱喝酒和咖啡的人，为什么要跟别人要钱乘公交呢。自从遇到这个怪人，我就有点不淡定了，不想再遇到他。从这家超市出来，门口竟又发现一个妇女带一个孩子，举着牌子对进出的人打招呼。平常都没有乞讨的人。难道他们和那个怪人是组团来的吗？怎么福利完善的加拿大会有要钱的人呢？他们从哪里来，晚上住哪里呢？

Midnight Flood
The other day, in the midnight, we heard a sound of water running on the wall. It was so clear and real, that I immediately checked and found it was really water running from the ceiling of the small living room next to our bedroom. The sound was very loud like a wild spring in the mountain. There must be something wrong in the upstairs.
I called the landlord, but he hung up the phone immediately after picking up. He must have been in a dream but I had to call. I called again, the sleepy man answered and I told him the serious problem. After a while, I heard some people rushing to my upstairs but the water was still running from the ceiling and the sound of river was still loud. I asked my husband to see what happened and I checked our wall cabinet which was also found leaking water. I quickly moved all the things out of the cabinet. Luckily, most of them were safe from the flood.
Later, my husband came back and said that he helped with solving the problem. It turned out to be a water pipe blew out, but the landlord could not switch off the valve. My husband switched it off.
Then, I mopped the water in the wash room and cleaned our wall cabinet. While, the carpet in the living room and our cabinet was full of water, but I could do nothing with it. In order to help blow the moisture away, two electric fans kept running in the living room for quite a few days.

饭锅掉到地上rice cooker fell off
前几天早上我起床后端电饭锅要去厨房做饭，出门的时候迷迷糊糊的电饭锅就从我的双手滑落到地毯上，叮呤当啷--电饭锅的组件立时各自分开。经过碰撞，铝制饭锅内胆在外面底部边缘被磕出两个凹陷，幸亏是在边缘，不影响与发热盘的贴合，否则就要重新买锅了。
其实这个BLACK&DECKER电饭锅除了设计的样子我还算喜欢以外，就没有什么值得满意的地方了。首先，这电饭锅煮饭过程中常常喷出好多米浆，厨房台子常常被喷的厉害，即便我只是煮两个人吃的非常少的米饭。其次，这个锅煮出来的饭有一层糊底硬的饭粒，这一点后来看说明书还真的有交代“煮好的米饭底部会有层硬的，如果你不喜欢，请将其扔掉”。再有，这个锅的电源线和外锅是一体的，不像国内的饭锅都是独立的线，并且这个线非常的短，短到还没有我的电水壶电源线长，电饭锅必须紧挨着电源才能插电煮饭。有一个塑料蒸格，有一天我想蒸几个馒头，结果被烫死两个半，因为这个电饭锅的玻璃锅盖钮下有一个三只脚的塑料挂钩，这是设计用来将锅盖挂在锅耳朵上，方便盛饭的。这三片塑料脚把蒸气凝结成水滴下来，烫死馒头。刚用了一个季度，内胆的不粘涂层就看见划痕两道和一些点点的掉漆。要知道我用的非常小心，平常淘米都用不用内胆。只是盛饭用塑料勺子总要把米饭从底层翻起来松软以后才盛饭。国内用的电饭煲，几年了内胆涂层也没怎么掉。就这个不怎么好用的饭锅打折以后还要合RMB120多。
同样是中国制造的电饭锅，差距怎么这么大呢。

Reading more
I have finished reading eight books recently. All of them are Chinese books. I borrowed an English novel from library, a thin book, but I have not read it yet, although I wish I could improve English by reading some English gradually. It is harder to read in a second language than mother language. Now, deep in my heart, reading English is not interesting at all.
These days, we stayed at home a lot. I often plan to go out of the room and breathe some fresh air. He is sleeping most of the day and I can not go out myself and let him stay home alone. I think I should find a job asap.
