First impression is the strongest
我今天说到改名字的事，的确有点先入为主，大家都习惯了叫我Michelle嘛

慢慢地就习惯啦。。。米同学变菲同学啦

关于那个反避税的中文翻译，我觉得很漂亮！
因为纳税人本来可以抗议：你们税务局不讲理，无论做什么都有避税嫌疑，干脆什么也不做才不会有问题。
现在抗议权被取消！这个强盗思路符合现在的穷政府。

I went to John's bedside trying to check his oxygen saturation, I held the oxygenation probe asking him:

John, can I please borrow one of your fingers to put on the probe?

John looked at me showing a naughty smile and his little finger.

Me: No, I can't get the accurate reading from this one, different one please!

John showed his ring finger.

Me: No, not this one either!

Then, he showed his middle one.

Me: Hey, John, this one is the last finger in the world we are gonna need for oxygenation check!

I did something I shouldn't in the unit today, when the team leader came back, this naught doing was pointed out to him, I said to him:

Oh, I realized already I shouldn't have done that, please don't be mad at me. See, I rearranged them in order and stapled them together as much as you would expect it. I have been reading your mind, boss!

He laughed straight away: You could read my mind?? That feels so scary now! But, now I am thinking of letting you go off that, I don't like to be fussy over these little things. Remember: If you are looking for trouble, you are in trouble yourself! (如果你想找事儿，你自己就有麻烦了！)

My patients were talking about the chinese restaurants they have been and most of the delicious chinese foods they have adventured. However, they both insisted that they have never been brave enough to try out the pig feet/chicken feet.

They were very much fascinated by what they taste like and what nutrition they can provide.

I said: Well, I am not gonna lie to you, as long as you try them, you will keep going back to them. On top of being delicious, these feet are rich in mucoprotein (粘蛋白), which is very beneficial for human's brain. Actually, we chinese are doing exceptionally well in mathematics probably because we take in enough mucoprotein from those animal feet.

Heeeheee, the above is just a joke based on no scientific evidence, please don't take it seriously and don't come back to me with the arguments!

I mentioned that someone was switching his working place to different ones almost every few years, Zoe said: Oh, mom, that's what's called a frequent job hopper, I certainly don't expect you to be someone like that!

You finally showed up!

Have been living a low-key life recently, haven't you? How is sydney treating you so far? Found what you are always looking for, haven't you (I didn't mean you keeping a low profile only, I meant something else here)?

不过俺还是会经常来。。。为你们滴妙语连珠加分滴。。。。。。

@newozer knows a little about a lot. But I'm not saying he is master of none. I believe he is pretty good at managing people and many other things. Please don't split hairs over my talking. I didn't mean to offend you, friend.

Speaking English as a second language, I have been taking so much pride in my capability of managing my speech ever since Tony Abbot takes the top office as a native speaker.

Here is his obsessive mentality and way of talking, which, by the way, were delivered in a national conference and international official talk with Indonesia's counterpart. Quote:

"We will stop the boat, and the boat will be stopped"

"(In the talks), everything is on the table, and nothing is off limits"

Hello, all my dear friends, don't you think we could have done better than that, speech-wise?

A cartoonist has done a cartoon character mimicking Tony wearing his speedo, read as: Indonesia is rolling out the red carpet with the budgie smuggler on it!

Pleas refer to @x24 's explanation about budgie smuggler!
