My Views On Nba All Star Weekend Part A

As usual, the annual NBA All Star Weekend is coming, I’m excited and expecting this time every year. This weekend seems a festival holiday in my life. The stars never leave us disappointed just like Kobe, the man who lead me to this fantastic world.

  Every year, I participate in the vote of all star game to select the starting lineup. It’s interesting, you can hold your idols and vote more and more to send them to the starting lineup. So it depends on how many fans you have. I still remember the first year of Yao, everyone is talking about a rookie being selected into all star starting lineup instead “Shark” O’Neal, almost the most powerful centre in NBA history. You know, the best shinning star now in EAST, Lebron James, participated in the Game Rookie VS Sophomore because he wasn’t selected onto lineup. Maybe that’s the first time that Americans know what a powerful country with so many people. So it comes to Yi, another talented Chinese player, this is the second year since Yi entered the association. Last year lineup candidates didn’t include Yi, so…… But this year, with the qualification, Yi was considered to be the most intimidatory           starting player to Lebron and Kevin. Personally speaking, this is the time to check maturation of Chinese fans. There is no doubt that Yi’s ability isn’t competent to play in all star game, on contrary, he is more suitable to the rookieVSsophomore game. The finality is OK, after all there are so many fans of Lebron and Kevin all around world, Yi failed. But I think the result is good to him. You can hardly imagine what will Vince and Devin think, who contribute most to their team.

  Final result is, EAST: Howard, Garnett, James, Wade and Iverson. WEST: Yao, Duncan, Stoudemire, Bryant and Paul. In the end, “Superman” Howard gained most support, and I appreciate Iverson, though slower, though lower points, we admire and never forget his unyielding soul and that ANSWER. In west, Stoudemire and Anthony are close, but I should say this year is Stoudemire’s home court. Paul exceeded Tracy at last, though I yearn that younger Tracy, that’s fare to everyone. My Kobe deserve the most support, hope this year he won’t quit.

  EAST fast, WEST tall.

  So that’s it, my thoughts about the vote and starting lineup of NBA All Star Game this year.

  This is part A, concerning the Rookie Game, the SLAM DUNK Content and relief players, to be continued…

My Chinese New Year Overseas

How time flies!
I can’t believe that the Chinese New Year has been over! Only two days! It’s too short, compared with the 7-day holiday in China. However, I have a very special and exciting time here, although it’s the first time that I leave home to spend the holiday without my parents.
At the New Year’s Eve, our seniors invited us to their hostel. They cooked a very delicious meal for us: sushi, hot-bowl, potatoes, dumplings, and so on. Eh, yummy, yummy! I can’t forget the wonderful taste at that dinner. After the supper, we played games together and talked to them about the courses we were to choose.
At midnight, because of the big noise that we made when we were cheering, we were ‘thrown out’ by the Uncle there, and then we have to come back to Eton Hall unwillingly. But after all, it’s a very wonderful day, isn’t it?
On the New Year’s Day, we had no activities to take part in, so I chat with my family members online. We have talked for the whole afternoon since there were too much to say.On the second day of the Chinese New Year, we went to the President’s House. We spent a lot of time on the queue. About half an hour later, a stranger told us that students didn’t need to queue up. So we gave up the queue and went to the gates. However, the guards told us that we must queue up whether we were students or not. Suddenly I felt cheated and upset. It means that we must queue up again and wait for another half an hour. So finally, we gave up the visit and went to Chinatown instead. It was not as crowded as what I had expected. It took much time before we found a KTV to sing songs because most of them had been closed. However, we really enjoyed ourselves at the karaoke and sang many songs until dinner time.
All in all, it’s a very wonderful and unforgettable Chinese New Year overseas!

New experience about Chinese New Year

We have been in Singapore for about 40 days, and we have experienced a lot of new things, such as new food, new people and new culture. And the most important thing is the Spring Festival here. Although the Spring Festival here is not as grand as we do in China, we still have a good time with our seniors and schoolmates.
It was Sunday and it was our Spring Festival Eve, at about 2 o’clock we started to go to NUS, King Edward VII Hall. After we went there, our seniors have started making dumplings, certainly, we joined them. Some of us minced the meat and others chopped the vegetables. After a hard working, our juniors had a rest and the seniors cooked the dumplings. Waiting is always boring and some of us beginning to play cards, others were surfing the Internet. After an hour or so, the dumplings were cooked thoroughly. And all of us rushed out to enjoy the DIY food. Oh, it tasted good. Then, the most important thing had come. We watched the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. In my opinion, it is not as good as I expected, but some programs were really satisfied. Then we had a hotpot, and the hotpot was really delicious.
We were waiting for the New Year’s coming, and a countdown was made. When it came to 0, we all shouted and clapped. The New Year is coming, and we have welcomed a new age. We went on playing, and at about 2 o’clock we went back to our dorms. We didn’t sleep until 3 and we were excited.
On the 1st day of Chinese New Year, I made telephone calls to my family and relatives. And in my hometown the sound of the fireworks made me feel very comfortable. I love this sound, because it is deepen in my heart. My first abroad New Year is very happy, but I still feel something lost, because we don’t stay with our families and friends in China. Everything has two sides, something you gain and other things are lost. In a nutshell, I love my first abroad New Year.

Learning English

Some fellow students complained, “I have learned English for more than six years! But I speak poor English still, it’s really hard.” Is it true? They say six years, but how many hours have they actually committed everyday during those years? What a short time indeed! Compared with countless hours we’ve spent learning and speaking our mother tongue, we do learn English with a high efficiency.
There are quite a lot of learning methods and no good ones or bad ones. In China our English teachers teach us the most basic things and we are not in a English-speaking environment. Mostly we focus on practicing writing and comprehension. The skills are very important especially for exams. Usually we have no much difficulty reading an English article if there aren’t too many new words. Besides we are also trained to write English composition in which we should obey some certain regulations.
Listening is very important. I once met an Indian guy in the canteen and we had a nice talk. But sometimes I found it hard to catch him and had to say many pardons. That’s embarrassing. We should not only make sense of standard oral English but also adapt ourselves to different accent and talking speed.
When it comes to speaking, we may feel down. To tell the truth, I can hardly stand myself when speaking with grammar mistakes here and there or using a long sentence to mean a simple meaning. But I know we will never overcome these shortcomings unless we really try. So we spend much time talking in English without fearing of making mistakes. To some degree, speaking is the most basic usage of a language. Oral communication is always convenient and essential.
You must believe that your efforts won’t be in vain. Practice makes perfect. Since you devote yourself to learning, your English will surely be greatly improved.

Should fireworks be banned?

It is reported in Today that Thai police have charged the singer of rock band Burn for setting off fireworks that set a Bangkok club ablaze , killing 66 revellers ,as the investigation into the New Year tragedy wrapped up on Jan,27.

I am so shocked at the number of people who died from the conflagration . The New Year is a time for union . How can it become the grave of those unlucky ones?

Then I wonder whether fireworks should be banned for its disastrous effect.

Firstly , you can never ignore its potential hazard of explosion . The distance between fireworks and the masses is difficult to control for Lunar New Year is a time for people to gether and revel . There are always some people who think they are not near fireworks enough to be hurt but finally getting a harsh lesson . And also , because of any negligence , surroundings may be ablazed by the sparks from fireworks , which involves indefinite danger .

Secondly , it causes severe pollution . Basically , fireworks contains the same chemical ingredients as explosives . Just think about the irritating smells after each explosion , you can imagine how much poisonous gas it releases and how heavy air pollution it causes . Besides , every firework produces a lot of waste paper , which is either exploded into sky or lying on the ground , broken into pieces . It costs both time and money to clear up them all .

In addition , it is a waste of money to certain extent . Up to hundreds yuan or dollars’s worth fireworks are consumed within few minutes . It is really a luxury entertainment .

However , we can’t neglect its positive aspects as well .
It is a tradition which , from our ancestors , has been existed for thousands of years . If we make every effort to protect other customs , how can we leave out this significant one ? It is a cultural heritage which we should keep it going . Futhermore , it is indeed a perfect way to create the joyful atmosphere during the special day . How silent and quiet will it be without fireworks ?

To find a compromise , we really have to think about it seriously . Personally , I don’t think it’s appropriate to ban the fireworks , but there should be some regulations to lead the public behaviors , which makes the entertainment safer .

A complaint letter

Dear Ms. Yang,
I am this year’s SM3 student from China, presently staying in Eton Hall. The living condition in the hostel, though not so agreeable, is generally OK for us. However one thing most of us could not stand is the hostel manager’s autocracy.
Today, some coke was found missing from the studying room. I don’t know the specific situation, but immediately the hostel manager declared that the study room would be closed for a whole month. Some students protested about it but were scored unreasonably by the hostel manager. I am not approving the student’s stealing the coke. But I really found the hostel manager’s act extremely excessive and inconsiderate.
Before, I studied in the study room almost every day, for even during the study hours the canteen could also be very noisy. After this issue, a lot of students like me will be forced to study in the canteen, which will drastically decrease our efficiency. And also, I believe this act will not have any positive effect, for the students that are punished are not the ones who have stolen the coke. And as I have found out, a lot of students in the hostel are getting angry about it. I know neither MOE nor the hostel heads would like to see things like this happen.
I am really looking forward if you could spare a little time and make a phone call to the hostel manager. I believe other than dismiss us from the studying room, there must be better solutions for it.

Yours sincerely,
Jin Yiping

my friends

Several days ago,when I was taking a bath ,suddenly I heard someone calling the name of Chen Jialu.Is that her?Why does she come to Singapore?I recalled one of my best friends in China whose name is also Chen Jialu.Soon I was dragged back from imaginary to reality.Certainly it can not be true,she is busy visiting relatives and friends at this time,so how is it possible for her to turn up here?At that time,sorrow fufills my heart,all the unforgettable memory was evoked,broadcasting like a film.


Recalling the past time spent with my friends in China,I feel so warm and moving.Perhaps we quarelled for something before,however,what left in my memory is all the happiness.Yesterday I recieved an email from my friend,she said the classmates in our senior high school got together to enjoy a party,everyone was very cordial and all of them had much to share even though some of them were not familiar with each other in senior school.I think it is true that when you step into the university,you will find the value of the friends in your senior school,you will feel that they are just like your family members when you come across them again.As time goes on ,you will find it harder and harder to develop such pure friendship.When you fell into trouble,just turn to them,they will try their best to help you;When you feel upset,just call them,they will encourage you,cheer you up.If everything goes well with you,they feel happy for you;If difficulties confront you,they feel worried about you.You can share the happiness and the sorrow with them.No matter where you are,they are just around you,supporting you.


Now I am alone in Singapore,I always think of my friends in China.Every time I think of them,I will not feel lonely instead I get incentive to continue my life here.I really appreciate my friendship with them,they are among the most important people I treasure in my life.


Thank you,my dear friends!I take courage to face everything in store no matter happiness or difficulties,just because I know you are always behind me on matter where I am,what happens.

First Chinese New Year in SG

As the most important festival in China, Chinese New Year means so much to us. I’ve never thought of enjoy my 18th Chinese New Year abroad before.
This is a warm, quiet and a bit lonely Chinese New Year without firework, these characteristics of it are what I’ve never experienced. My hometown is a pretty white world decorated by snow this time every year. There were so many guys and so much noise of firework and laughing surrounding me. Under the atmosphere of happiness and auspices, families get together to enjoy festival.
Since abroad, this time may makes us most homesick. Luckily, we friends here can warm each other. In the last day of 2008 in Chinese lunar calendar, of course wearing new clothes,we went to FairPrice in the moring, bought chunks of food and drinks like M&M, Pringles juice and so on. Then we who are from Jilin University hurried to NTU, our friends there gave us a warm greet, including seniors of NUS and NTU and juniors all from Jilin University. Walking on campus, so quiet, feeling a bit lonely though with classmates. We went to a Hall canteen then had some dumplings with seniors. I appreciated that seniors offered dumplings, the symbol of Chinese New Year. They were really delicious and made us feel like home. In fact, we planned to play games after dinner, but I found we would hardly catch the Chinese New Year Eve Festival on CCTV on time. So then we went back to NUS and watch the eve festival on line. It is familiar to me, but on line, it is the first time. Every year, we expect the drama of Zhao Benshan, he didn’t make us disappoint this time, either.
It was so quiet outdoor, without the noise of firework, I heard the raining clearly. Just before lunar new year was coming, I called back to my family in China sending my best wishes to them, I guessed they missed me but I convinced so did I. My family were fine, that made me feel better. After that classic old song, we called to taxies to Eton Hall. That’s the first time we called a taxi. It was really expensive during night.
So that’s the first Chinese New Year in Singapore, warm almost hot, quiet and a bit homesick lunar new year. The new year has begun just like the beginning of abroad.
Finally, best wishes to my family and my friends, hope you good health and a wonderful life.

(PS: we watched two movies at Golden Village during holidays, Inkheart and Red Cliff. The former was a bit slick, doubt it is born in new line cinema or not. Red cliff, though the first half was criticized by someones, I expect it for long time. I like Sangou, I respect the heroes there. The movie is glamorous also with humor. Director Wu changed history a little, but that’s OK. In a word, I desire to watch Red Cliff while I’m abroad.)

I Lost My Spring Festival

Laying on the sofa andind watching the sort of boring program in the tv,so tired,sight blurred,I suddenly felt an familiar feeling.it was so warm and comfortable that I felt as if I was on the soft sofa in my grandma's home back in china.But I knew it was not real.of course, I wasn't in China but somewhere else,like Singapore.except for this sofa moment on the chinese new year eve,I didn't actually feel the atmosphere of new year.it's just the third day of new year,and at this moment in previous years we were still Having the New Year.this time,however,it's not the same.I had walked all the way from eton hall in alexandra road to city hall to search the smell I knew for years only to find no snow(of course),not many couplets,no noisy people,no sound of crackers,no pieces of fireworks,nothing.anyway,it's so different that i'd rather consider it a 4-day holiday rather than a Chinese new year...where is my Chinese new year?back in China maybe.

Life Together

Long time ago,I heard a moving story about love,the name of which is Life Together.It tells a story of an old couple around the age of 70.One fine day,they walks into a lawyer's office to file a divorce.The lawyer was very puzzled,after a chat with them,he got their story...This couple had been quarreling all their 40 years of marriage and nothing ever seems to go right.Like many unhappy couples,they hang on because of their children.Now,all their children have already grown up,live their own life,there's nothing to worry about,all they wanted is to get rid of all these years' unhappiness from their marriage,so both agree on a divorce...

Things may seem quite normal as there're more and more couples get divorced to end up their wrong marriage.But there're indeed something different,in this case,as they wanna break up after 40 years of marriage.What's wrong with their living together?In order to get the answer and help the old couple,the lawyer suggested a dinner together.At the dining table,there was an awkward silence.The first dish was roasted chicken.Immediately,the old man took the drumstick for the old lady,"Take this,it's your favourite."Looking at this,you maybe think there's still a chance.But the wife was frowning when she answered,"This is always the problem;you always think so highly of yourself and never thought about how I feel.Don't you know that I hate drumsticks?"

That night,both of them couldn't sleep.The old man couldn't take it anymore;he knows that he still loves her and he couldn't carry on life without her.He wants her back;he wants to tell her,he is sorry;he wants to tell her,"I love you."So,he picks up the phone and dialed her number.Though there's no response,he never stops dialing...She knows that It is he who is calling.She refuse to answer;she loves him a lot,but she can't take it anymore.Little did she remember,he had heart problems...

The next day,she received news that he had passed away.She was sad but still had to take care of his belongings.There,she found an insurance dated from the day they got married.The beneficiary is her.Together in those files,there was this note,"To my dearest wife, by the time you're reading this, I'm sure I'm no longer around, I bought this policy for you, though the amount is only $100k, I hope it will be able to help me continue my promise that i have made when we got married, I might not be around anymore, I want this amount of money to continue taking care of you, just like the way I will if I could have live longer. I want you to know Iwill always be around, by your side... I love you"

Tears flowed like a river...

I have a complex feeling after reading this story.Why a couple who love each other finally end up with a divorce?What on earth is the meaning of love if it can't bring happiness?In fact,it is not love or not that matters in the story;it's about how to express your love.Love doesn't always brings happiness.Vice versa,happy marriage needs more than love.You should care more about the feeling of the one you love and respect him or her.If you love him or her,let he or she know before it is too late.Do not let such pity come again.

Live a life with melancholy

I was a extroverted person,without melancholy ,without deeply sorrow!But the person I care lives a life with melancholy.He even dosen't want others to understand him which frustrated me a lot !I hope him to live a life with happiness .
After the not so happy lunar New year ,a sad feelings comes along with me !Somebody told me you are a person who is agressive ,who don't care about what others feel ,who always ask others to do things for you without thinking others !
Yes ,I admit !but I can just ask person who I care and who I think I can .he doesn't know me ,he just saw the cover and think I am a such person .I even don 't want to explain to him .for he will thought i am pretending .
maybe i should do something to chang his opinion on me ,but how?
I am living a life with melancholy !Who can tell me how to do ??

New Year Eve

As a convention being lasted for years,we freshmen were invited by our seniors to enjoy a lunar new eve together.The situs was a room for activities in Yusof Hall.
Though it was not so big a room,it was really interesting.We sat on the floor,checked with relatives and friends at distence.Seniors prepaired a lot of delicious food and drink.Before the new year eve soiree,we took our dinner.It was really unbelievable that all the dishes were made by our seniors.
Then infront of some laptops,we started to watch the soiree on line,the yearly soiree,another convention.Maybe had too much expectation,audiences could never be satisfied,so does this time.Anyway,I enjoyed it.It was really fun that because of the problem of the network,the soiree through the different laptops were not at the same pace.One guy smiled and said he felt as if he was in the point in which three different time met and twisted.
At the midnight,we greeded each other and sent SMS to our friends.It was so valuable a moment that I will never forget it.
Then we played a funny game called "killers and policemen",another convention of we northwestern guys'.About two hours later.we had to stop our game to go back to Eton Hall,so that we could arrive before the deadline.On our way back home,the empty street was so quiet and peace that we all hoped to stay out during the whole night,and of course,just a hope.
It was my first time to celebrate lunar new year without my parents,but with my dear friends and seniors,I didn't feel lonely,not even a little.And I believe this unforgetable memory will be in my heat forever!

# The capital museum

What should you do if you want to know more about Beijing but have only three or four hour’s time? I strongly recommend the capital museum to you.
The capital museum is founded in 1953, but for some reason it was not open to the public not until 1981. The initial place for the museum is the Confucius temple. But the museum is not only small but also lack of protection. It owns few visitors in comparison to the Palace Museum, the National Museum and the National Art Museum. So the government decided to build a larger and modern museum for exhibition, protection, research, and culture communication. The new building was completed in 2005 and finally opened to the public in the following year. The New Capital Museum locates at 16 Fuxingmenwai Avenue; Xicheng District in Beijing.It shows a full view of Beijing with all kinds of cultural relics and latest technologies.
The whole building can be divided into 5parts.
The first part is the outside part which includes walls, garden and the roof. The enormous roof and the gradient at the entrance square were influenced by the design from ancient Chinese architecture, and the stone-made wall was meant to symbolize of the city wall of Beijing. A piece of danbi (a massive stone carved with images of dragon, phoenix) is settled in front of the north square of the museum. Moreover there are hundreds of solar energy batteries which provide half of the electricity in the museum on the steel structure roof.
There are three separate buildings under the roof: The Bronze Exhibition Hall, The Rectangular Exhibition Hall and The Office Building.
The Rectangular Exhibition Hall is the main exhibition hall. The first floor is the temporary hall which is used for culture communication. The second floor is the History in Beijing Hall which introduced many historical facts of Beijing, such as Xinhai revolution and Tubaozhibian. The third floor is the Beijing’s History Hall which shows the construction history of Beijing from Chunqiu to Minguo. The fourth floor show traditional customers and precious cultural relics including Buddhist, Jade, Chinese and gold.
The Bronze Exhibition Hall, which has an oval-shape, was also meant to symbolize the unearthing of ancient relics by its slanting design in which extends from the ground to the exterior of the museum. There is a world classic movie theater which can play the clearest wide scream movies in the world. There are also many paintings and calligraphy on the fourth and third floor.
In the middle of the three building lies the reception hall which is used for meeting and gathering. An archway from the Ming Dynasty is set in the middle. It’s a symbol of old Beijing because the archway originally lies in front of the successive dynasties temple.
The capital museum is really a great place for you to visit. If you have enough time, just pay a visit.

* Rhinoceros in love

I’m very glad to see this drama because I’m not only fond of dramas but also interested in acting and writing scripts. I performed in many role plays and once won a first with my classmates. As soon as I heard the name of this play I’m sure that this drama is a modern one. Because this kind of drama is too expensive in China, so I haven’t got a chance to see it.
The story was a love story about a man called Malu fall in love with a woman named Mingming. Malu loved Mingming so much that he can do anything for her. But Mingming can’t forget his former boyfriend who treated her bad and abandoned her. On the other hand Malu’s friends considered him stubborn and crazy because he was doing something impossible. Finally under the pressure from Mingming and his friends, Malu kidnapped Mingming and killed the Rhinoceros he raised in the zoo.
I felt sorry for Malu because he’s not happy to face his life and he can’t see himself clearly. Although this is a sad story, it still taught me a lot. We shouldn’t be too stubborn like Malu when we do things. There is always a place for the both side. If you do things only under your personal thoughts, it won’t be comfortable for both sides. So we should learn to resign what we really can’t accomplish. Just like an old saying “do not hang yourself to death on the same tree.” What’s more, we should do what we prefer and never force ourselves. Malu felt painful because he forced himself to make Mingming like him. His negative and depressive mood is bad for his friends and himself.
When I came back from the theater I found the original script on the Internet. After I read the original script written by Liaoyimei, I found that they erased some parts and actors. Instead, they put some new dialogues into the script. I appreciate the second scene they added into the drama which showed a guitar player continuously play his guitar no matter he got beaten or dragged away. This scene was a reflection of the play which taught us that we sometime keep doing the same thing no matter what situation we are in. On the contrary, some good parts especially the ending was changed, so that they’re not very clear to understand.
After all, the actors and actresses are perfect in performing. I ’m sure they used many time to rehearse drama. I like this drama very much and hope to join them in the near future.

Being a University Leader

It's a tough job,really.
I've never led others before,as a result,I'm good at being led,rather than leading.Then,it happened,in a weird situation,just by chance.
It was last september,after submiting the application for the SM3 scholarship,our teacher who was in charge of this scholarship needed a group leader to help him.On the top of the name list,it was me.The names were listed by our own faculty,major and class(maybe influenced by the army,each faculty or major has its own code).For me,as a student majored in Aircraft Desgin & Engineering in the Faculty of Aeronautics,with no doubt,should be the first oneon the list.The teacher just told me to take the job,and I accepted it happily,for I'm glad to help others and there was no reason for me to refuse,and of course,I thought it was a piece of cake,it was more like some service.So it was,at first.
We took the test,we took the enterview,then,we waited for the reasult,it was really an unforgetable experience in my life.Not for a long time,the rasult came out.Luckily,I was still on the list,and still on the top.During that period,I didn't do much,actually.
As I stepped into the train to my hometown,I thought I've finnished my duty,perfectly.I was wrong,totally,and things happened later on proved it.
After enjoying a hollyday lasted for almost two months,we met again in Beijing.Then I found I was still playing the role.In the capital airport,before we check in,some parents said to me:"Since you are from the same university,please take care of my son,help each other if need be."I suddenly realized that my job was more than doing service,much more.
Without any former experience,I struggled to organize a dozen of monkeys.,and my nightmare came.
With so much free time,we of course would do some activities.Before we do,we had to decide what,when and where to do.Making a decision sometimes could quite painfull,for I always hope to make everyone satisfied.However,unfortunately,it was unlikely.A dozen of monkeys meant a dozen of ideas,a dozen of mouths,a dozen of wants.Some wanted rest while some prefer playing;some went fast while some were still wandering far behind;some tried to go one place while some hoped to another one.In many cases,we had only one choice and should not be seperated.So many ideas,so many advices,so many voices arounded me,it really struck me insane.Sometimes I tried to make our group united,act together,however,hardly can they follow exactly as I expexted,so many times,I felt so upset and frustrated.But after our performence on the day before lunar new year eve,I became hopeful,though I still didn't do well,I realized I made one goal:our group was becoming more and more united!
At that night,I felt so happy that I could be with these lovely monkeys!

A letter to ZhIling

Zhiling,
Haven’t written to you for long. How’s your spring festival at home? It must be hot as well in Guangxi. Did you eat dumplings? Set off fireworks?
I bought some decorations made of red paper last week in China Town. We put them up in the dorm and atmosphere was immediately pretty high.

On the eve of the festival, we went to Nanyang Technology University together. All the SM3 students from our university gathered together. It was of great fun! We played some games, which made every one laugh to tears. The punishment was even more ridiculous. Say force two boys to hot dance or run a circle carrying another one on the back.
After that we made dumplings and watch the celebration on CCTV. All are exactly the same as in China. Someone of us turned homesick but I still have no special feelings. Maybe I am so excited to explore my new life and don’t have time to pump the sissy feelings into my gut.
Here phone calls are really cheap. Calling back to China only costs 4 cents per minute. Even so, some of my roommates could use up all the $100 before the expiry date. It has formed a scenery that every night someone would shuffle in the court with a cell phone held tightly.
Our English lessons, however, is proceeding smoothly. Though every day we do almost the same things, I don’t really feel bored. After all, it is my own choice and I could always enjoy English. In my leisure hours, I always watch movies. sometimes, I find the meaning of my life through it. My value was in coherence with the theme of the film and it makes me think of it for days.
Hope I didn’t write too much. Have a nice 2009!
So long
Yiping

MY BEST FRIEND

I always appreciate it that I haVe so many friends ,maybe they are not so perfect boys or girls .They all have some defects .But every one has his own advantages,and I learned a lot from them.

Now let me introduce one of my best friends Yuanyuan.

She is not a beautiful girl ,but her charming characters let a lot of people like her .She is really a popular girl in my senior high school .

Since it is Chinese New Year now ,I wish she happy forever.And no matter what happened ,I will always be there for her.

Love, the highest intelligence

Machines these days are becoming exceptionally smart. They have surpassed us in many fields. But one thing for sure, they can never really love a human being like us.
In the movie AI, a special boy named David was created. Separated from all other robots, he was designed to love. David was a replacement of a boy, who had been severely injured through an accident. His parents couldn’t bear the grief of losing their son and accepted to “adopt” David.
From that day on, little David began to detect the life as a human being. At first, he seemed pretty odd. After a day, the family was almost driven mad by him. Though he dried every means to please his “parents”, the effect just turned out on the contrary. Magic happened when he first called out “mummy”. When you see mother and David hug together, you would naturally overlook the fact that the boy was actually manmade.
David, programmed to love, perceived every act of others as kind of affection. He was gradually accepted by the family and got the love from his “mummy”.
Then one day, things all went wrong. The boy who was injured recovered and went back home. He treated David as a new super toy and envied the love his own mother gave to David. He then moved to seduce David to irritate his mummy. Sadly, little innocent David couldn’t tell people’s evil will. He trusted everyone and did as the boy told him to.
Things become so serious that his mummy was forced to abandon him in a forrest. This time, he knew it was not a game mother used to play with him. He cried, holding tightly to his mummy’s hand and begged her to forgive him. He asked if Pinocchio could become a real boy, why couldn’t he. His mummy said in tears that it was only a fairy tale. And a machine could never become a real boy. In desperate, David watched his beloved mommy drove away without him.
Though his mummy betrayed him, David never hated her. He thought it all his fault that he was not a real boy. He then went on his long journey to find the Blue Fairy, who was said to have turned Pinocchio into a real boy.
One his way, he met some robot friends and narrowly escaped being destroyed by cruel human beings. He even found his creator. After being told that there was no way for him to become a real boy, his heart sank. On the siege of giving up, he caught sight of the blue fairy, a clay-made figure in a discarded park.
He prayed and prayed until 2000 years have passed. The love for his mummy never fades. It carried on and melt in the long river of time……The border between man and robot becomes vague. If one day robot can really love people, how should we treat them? Will we be able to love them back sincerely?

New Year’s Eve

This is the first lunar New Year I have spent outside home. I couldn’t imagine what it would be like before. I wondered whether I would be seriously homesick then. But how time flew, this day finally came.
We were noticed to go to NTU to spend New Year’s Eve with seniors and schoolmates, which had become a tradition so far. Excitedly we started off at 1 o’clock. After a long journey we arrived in NTU in the end. All our seniors and schoolmates gathered together there, which meant a union like a family.
We played a few of games such as ice-breaking games and some games with strict punishment. One of them was that every group should pick out 4 people, 3 of whom would drink cola, but the rest one would drink soy sauce. Everyone should pretend to have drunk cola to confuse enemies so as to win the game. You should know how great he was when he was drinking soy sauce with a satisfied face.
At 5 o’clock we began to make dumplings. Only few of us had learnt how to do it, so we made dumplings at the same time of learning how to. After about 3 hours’ effort, some beautiful dumplings came from beautiful senior sisters, however, ugly ones came from us, luckily they were also allowed to be cooked ,otherwise ,dumplings wouldn’t be enough .That was a really DIY dinner that we all enjoyed it.
At 8 o’clock, the evening party of CCTV began. All of us watched it joyfully, but what frustrated us heavily was that we waited to about 11 o’clock until the words “Embassy of China in Singapore wishes all Chinese happy new year!” appeared on TV, that moment, all of us cheered up!
Then the bell rang, New Year came!
We enjoyed a good dream that night and when we woke up, all returned to usual, lovely sunshine, slight wind, birds’ singing. But New Year has come indeed!

New Year's new fellings

I’m enjoying the spring festival.
First I want to introduce something about the spring festival to you.The spring festival is a great occasion to the Chinese people,it lasts about fifteen days, during which people do not work except for the workers on duty. Students do not go to school, and nearly all shops are closed,relatives get together and play together and enjoy the happy atmosphere.
With the spring festival coming nearer and nearer, people begin to prepare. Farmers kill pigs, sheep, cocks and hens. City dwellers buy meat fish and vegetables. Houses are cleaned; coupletsare posted on the doors. Colourful lanterns are hung at the gate.
On the eve of the new year, each family has its members gatherd together and eats a family reunion dinner. After the meal they watch TV until the clock strickes twelve.On the new year’s day ,children go out to say “happy new year” to the elder,and get Red Packets from them,people are dressed up,and paly happily.
This year I spend the spring festival with my friends in Singapore,we get together,eating、palying cards till night,I think it’s one of my most important things in my life.
I love the spring festival.

Waiting for the New Year

The Chinese New Year is coming.
And now, it is very complicated to describe what I’m thinking, as if there were too much to say.
It is the first time that I don’t spend the time with my family and relatives. I’ll spend those days with our seniors. I don’t know whether we’ll have a nice day or whether it will be terrible. Just wait and the answer will come out soon.
In recent days, I have always had the illusion that when I call back to my home on the New Year’s Eve, maybe I cannot control myself and burst into tears. I admit that I’m still a child, a child that can’t bear the miserable separation from my parents and my hometown, as the saying goes ‘East, West, Home is the best.’ I don’t know if the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year here is as good as that of China.
Let me just wait and see.

First Chinese new year in Singapore

  Today I had my first Chinese new year in Singapore. This is my first time not to spend the Spring Festival with my family but with our seniors of Central South University. Although I'm quite homesick and feel a pity of can't have a family get together or reunion dinner,I still have a good time preparing the dinner such as making dumplings ,preparing hotpot.At first,I didn't know how to make dumplings. All that I had done when I'm at home is nothing but eat as we have two good cooks home. Making dumplings is not an easy task in my eyes. It's a thing that more easy to say than practice. First,you should know how to mix the water with the flour at the right ratio.Second,you should use the right way to make dumplings or your dumplings will break up when boiled. Third,how to boil the dumplings is also a difficult task.If the dumplings are raw or over boiled,I don't think they'll taste good.

  Compared with dumplings,I like hotpot better. Born in Hunan province, chilli becomes my favourite. When I was at home,I hardly have a meal without chilli.In terms of Hunan people's favourite,hotpot must be one of the top ten. The wonderful hotpot we had tonight recalled the memory of BU LIAO GUO,one of the most popular hotpot in Changsha. Maybe you can't understand why we Hunan people like chilli so much.Is it so important to have chilli or not?Let me tell you;what chilli is to us is what water is to fish. Then,you may understand better why I am so excited when I hotpot comes into my eyes.

  After the dinner,we started to watch special TV programmes for the Lunar New Year of CCTV. Together with the music,comes out our laughters.We all have a pure joy filled in our hearts at that time. Though we are far away from our country,far away from our family members as well as friends,we know that we're not alone and we have someone who cares for us and someone to care about as well.

  In a word,this unforgettable dinner warmed my heart and reduced my homesick.We get to know more about each other.It opened a door to making new friends,challenging new opportunities and enjoying new life.I appreciate it!

     

First Blog in SG

What does one month mean? One month can makes people different from how they were. Maybe one month make me adjust a new life in a foreign country. Right, we’ve already been in Singapore one month.

  Personally speaking, I’m accustomed to the life here relatively. I can still remember clearly what I felt when I stepped out of the Changi Airport. Since my hometown was snowing when I left here, I should say I missed snow when I just arrived here, especially my first Xmas without snowing. At first, I hated the hotness here where is also so humid, but then I found I didn’t feel uncomfortable in the afternoon playing basketball. Singapore is competent for the name “Garden City”, here is an unbelievable green paradise, everywhere green, I hardly imagine that if there is no green in your eyesight. It is so comfortable for people live in here, Singapore impressed deeply in her beauty.

  We went to Sentosa, Singapore Zoo, Orchard Road and so on… Some are interesting, some are worse than my expect. But all are new, that’s the most important. Singaporeans are kind, they makes us feel like home. There are so many kinds of food here, you know some are expensive out of NUS. Chinese food here is different though I can’t tell. Bridging Course has started, it is attractive? Maybe. I expect to experience more here, of course not only in class.

Chinese new year is coming, our first Chinese new year aboard, it’s a challenge for us, I think. I’m fine now, the life here is comfortable and nice. Still watching NBA, still in favor of KB and LAL, still listen LP and Eminem, still ambitious… So many things have changed, but there are still lots of things that will never change wherever I go. Life is flat and fare, we are absorbing new things when we are missing the old.

Wish we brothers here have a nice day everyday, wish our bright future…

Since this is my first blog here, still a lot wanna say, but here just end.

Whispers of love---from Amourd'un Rhinoceros

The boy in the drama was thought to be crazy. But actually I sometimes envy him a lot. At least he knows who he loves and he is courageous enough to pursue it. It’s only that his way is different.
In the movie <> Al Pacino said that “love is always overrated, biochemically no different with a large quantity of chocolate.” I am always trying to confirm this to myself. And through times, I am thought to be cool minded, just thought to be. The unsettlement in my gut is never shown to anybody, sometimes even myself could not understand.
However, such is human nature that love is a compulsory course. Instead of tangling in the heated whispers of amour, I tortured myself keeping doubting the reliability of the feeling in my head. I’m not a normal man, which lays the origin of my pride. I simply can not allow a certain kind of feeling to take the charge of me. I am afraid to lose control.
3 years ago, I first met a girl that would totally change my view. Her optimism deeply influenced me. Compared to the happy days I spent with her, my 16 years before seems just dull and grey. She is the one that bring the sunlight to my life. I would try every means to make her happy. And I felt completed just staying with her. In the New Year’s ball, I asked her to dance with me, she did. Just holding her in my hand made me feel I am the luckiest man in the world. I was hoping the music to go on forever. On my birthday she arranged a party for me secretly. She also sent me flowers, hand made by her with colorful papers.At that time, love was too heavy a word for me. Actually, the feeling was so delicate like butterfly wings. Beautiful, but before I could touch it, it’s already gone with the wind.
My friends always like to ask for the ending of this story. And I would tell that there’s no ending, for I did nothing to carry it further and till now we are good friends.
I really couldn’t tell whether I feel regret or not, but one thing for sure, that was the happiest time in my life. After years have passed, those twisted days turned into the most beautiful memory of mine. It comes along with me, compensating the sorrowed soul from tome to time……

My dream

When i was young,a dream was deeply rooted in my mind:To travel around the world!
I want to visit the land far away that full of mysterious;I want to taste all kinds of food that passed from generation to generation exist in countries;I want to experience all kinds of lifestyle;I want to visit the Pyramid to touch the greatness of ancient Egyptian...
I enjoy the thrill and excitement the chanllenges I meet take to me.I had a appointment with my sister that is to travel around the world together when we are 30.I will do all I can to make my dream come true.
Hold on your dream my friends !I still remember a frustrated comment my classmate made on my dream:Give up because you will never achieve it .I was surprised and asked him why ,he told me it would cost a lot of money on it .I said no matter what happened I will never give up my dream.
Now i can tell hiim proudly I can fufill my dream ,not only won't I give up my dream ,now I come to Singapore ,it is my first destination,but not the last .I will never stop from thinking about it ,everyytime when it come to my miind I will be full of energy !
Come on you can do it!

My Favorite Singer

I love music. Although I can’t sing very well, I listen to music as long as I’m free. It is true that I spend more than four hours listening to music everyday. I listen to all kinds of music and the songs sung by many, many singers, such as Leehom Wang, Jay Zhou, Eason Chen etc. Among all the famous sings, my favorite is Fish Leong (Liang Jing Ru).
Fish Leong was born in Malaysia, a family which is not rich. Her father didn’t have a steady job, and her mother had to do two jobs to support the family. At the age of 18, Fish was fancied by the famous Taiwan singer Jonathan Lee (Li Zong Sheng). Young Fish went to Taiwan alone bravely and start her new life as a singer, but singing is not an easy job. Heave stress made Fish feel that she couldn’t sing well and then she went back to Malaysia for a short time, thinking about her own future and making the decision whether to continue her career as a singer. The deep love for singing led Fish back to Taiwan and after two years’ hardworking, Fish finally owned her first collection.
Now Fish is not that little girl any more, she has become one of the most successful singers in Asia. Her CD is always on the list of best-sellers. She is singing from the bottom of her heart and touches many hearts. She uses her songs to show many stories, to say the words that we don’t have enough bravery to say.
Love music. Love Fish Leong. She is a kind of miracle and can always give you what beyond your imagination. She is also the best example showing that hardworking can change a person’s life.

Jogging

I do believe everyone has tried jogging. It’s the most popular and easiest way to exercise. Good jogging will promote your circulation, exercise your muscle and also clean your artery and vein.
However, do you know how to jog properly?
The most important thing for jogging is your pulse rate. For ordinary people, the extreme pulse rate is 220 minus age. For example, my extreme pulse rate is 220 minus 19, it’s 201. When you are jogging, keep an eye on your pulse rate, it should depend on your purpose.
If you want to exercise your heart and lung, your pulse rate should range from 50% to 60% of your extreme pulse rate. For most of us, it’s 100 to 120.
If you want to lose weight, your pulse rate should be between 60% and 80% of your extreme pulse rate, because your body would use adipose to provide energy at that pulse rate.
If your pulse rate has already surpassed 80% of your extreme pulse rate, your body will use carbohydrate protein and adipose at the same time. However, I don’t think you are jogging any more if your pulse rate has reached that level.
If you want to be like those models on the poster of ck(If you are a boy) or Victoria’s Secret(If you are a girl), so what are you waiting for? Jogging is your best choise.

professor bolt

Hello everyone! Have you seen the cartoon movie called Bolt?Bolt is a dog’s name .I have a friend.he looks like the dog very much. So I named him Bolt for his nickname .Today I want to introduce him to you.His real name is Liu Hall which is also a interesting name.Because dormitories in NUS are not enough .So almost everyone want to liu hall (means stay in the hall) We are in the same province and both come from Beihang university.
When I first met him ,I think he was very self-important and he looked down upon others, just because his facial expressions were always seemed that he disdained to talk with you with his eye opened. But after so long time living with him ,I found I was totally wrong ,he is not a very person ,just kind of .After all, he is a scholar chosen by the MOE, so he has his advantages.
It’s true .He is really a remarkable student. In the college entrance examination ,he got 672 scores.It’s really a high score ,if your score is 665 in our province, you can already get in the famous Tsinghua university or Peking university. Actually he had and still has a strong desire to be a student of Tsing hua university.But in our province ,you don’t know your score until you fill in and hand in the form about which university you want to study in.So initially he didn’t thought he wound get a so high score and he didn’t want to spend an extra year in senior high school,so he chose the beihang university,
He loves music .When he listens to some electronic music.He often turn the volume very high and nod his head with the rhythm.His favourite rock band is Slayer.
He does’t talk much and always has his head buried in a book .But when you talk some professional topics such as mathematics ,sports, music, literature,he will talk a lot with you He is really knowledgeable . He also likes to debate with us.Although sometimes his view is totally extreme or totally wrong ,he still can win the debate .He also like to teach us as an elder. For example, he once said to us roommates :You were so young that still have illusions on love. When we roommates talked some topics about girls. He said: Have some goals, OK? So he has a new nickname called PROFESSOR now.
He is not interested in other things because he invents his complete energy in the career he loves. He even said that he will not get married in the future ,because in his opinion, to make a gilefriend is a waste of time and a waste money
His pet phrase is “So what ?”He don’t care what people think of his behavior. So if you ask him:Why do you always nod your head ? He will just smile and answer:so what? If you ask him why do you say you won’t get married ? He will just smile and answer :so what? If you ask him why do you always say so what ,he will just smile and answer :so what?

When Beijingners meet in Singapore

For some reasons, here in Singapore, very rare could you see a person from Beijing. Every time I told others I’m from that city, they will ask me why I come all the way to Singapore. It’s not even as big as a district in Beijing. The reason for it, I know, but could not tell.
In Eton Hall, all kinds of dialects are spoken, except that of Beijing. For the first time in my life, I realized the charm of my home city and its people.
Suddenly, one night I got a call from a girl, telling me that she is my supper supper senior, and that she is from Beijing also. A meeting would be held between Beijing students and she asked if I would like to come.
Sure, I said, feeling like an expatriate seeing the border of his country and a weary traveler who finds clear stream for the first time in the whole month.
I began to count down days long before the meeting was actually held. On that very day, I got to the restaurant 15 minutes early. My seniors arrived in succession within a couple of minutes. Introduction was made. I came to notice in surprise that among all 11 people, 5 are from my high school. Truly we were strangers before, but in someway, we are not strangers at all---we are born in the same city and our experiences are so tightly connected that we started to talk like old friends immediately.
Over the steam of the hot pot, we talked about our high school teachers and interesting things that happened. Once a topic was raised, an exciting discuss would be cooked. Even though we were not at the same school during the same period of time, we have one thing in common. It’s the attachment to our high school. Last year, we just celebrated her 100th birthday. She has stood there as the leader of education in China for a whole century. And year by year, we inherit the spirit of her.
Through the talk, I learned that ever year, it is tradition that seniors will help new comers to overcome the first phase. Some seemingly little kindness can be remembered all through the years. When they talked how their own seniors helped them, their gratefulness is beyond the words. I am asked again and again whether I had any difficulties. After confirmed about my well being, they went along to discuss my future major with me. Some advices they offered will be my important reference.
That after we departed, I could still feel the warmth in my heart. After all, I found my home here.

thought in these days

I miss my hometown very much these days. All my classmates have got home, now they are enjoying their happy winter holidays .when we see each other on the internet I always want to see them in person and talk to them face to face, I haven’t seen them for about half a year .
My classmates in high school are all my best friends, we share sorrow and happiness together in three years, we treasure our friendship we keep in touch with each other all the time after graduated from high school .I love my classmates and always bring the time we spent together to mind. Sometimes I also want to go back to my high school, but it has no sense. All my friends don’t study there any more. So if I go there, what I should do? Maybe just walk around the campus, and let the pictures of my friends’ laughing face formed in front of my eyes. I miss them so much.
This year is the first year that I observe the Spring Festival by myself, now I feel a little lonely. I think it just because am far away from my familiar classmates friends and parents. I think I will adapt life here soon and make much more new friends here.

I'm Missing You

It was a cold day that day!My parents and I were going to depart from each other before my study abroad.
In Beijing we had a good time-visiting,talking and laughing.As is known to all,when I leave home abraod,seldom will I have time to get together with my family numbers during at least the next ten years.So, we have the same feeling-happy but sad.I can have my further study at the cost of leaving home for a long time.We just lengthen our joint time by playing and talking together because all of us are emotional.We love each other deeply.The travel in Beijing is quite good.We nostalgically had a conversation to memorize what we had together done before.
In the airport,there were many students with their parents like us.They shared their life.However,we just stood there,keeping quiet as we knew that we would yean about each other.After checking our luggage,I headed to them for the last words.But we kept calm,just saying some other things,not the words for separation.We knewwe would miss each other so we left the most beautiful memory for us.The world is becoming smaller and smaller so that we will have chances to communicate to each other.It was when I entered the subway that I found my tears spilt out.Then I knew I would be missing them for at least ten years.On my way to the waiting room,all of the memories occurred to me.I'd rather have tresuered the previous life time.I'd rather not have done so many thing that annoyed you.I'd rather hug you more in our together time.I...
May your happiness,my dear parents!Your son is missing you during the spring festival!I love you forever!

NO THIEVES IN THE WORLD

All of us dream that one day the world can be full of love and peace, with everyone living in brotherhood and sisterhood. Director Feng Xiaogang put the dream in his film NO THIEVES IN THE WORLD.Through the film,we not only see the running train,the thieves,the police and the labourer named Shagen but also hope.
The background is set in a carriage,where all kinds of people sittting or sleeping in it, heading for a common destination.It is more like an epitome of the society we live.We have our goals and try to achieve them by different methods.Throughout the movie the light in the carriage is always dim ,indicating something may happen.
When watching the movie,we won't be at ease.Our hearts are attached to the pure and honest labourer, who never takes precaution against any people,most of whom are strangers.Are you always on guard against them? Or you trust everyone you meet?We dream to live in a Utopia but how far it is from us?No one has an answer.
The train's still galloping. Shagen, whose property is at the mercy of many thieves fall asleep and steeps into his fond dream. To our surprise, one thief,whose conscience has been aroused,manage to protect Shagen.He makes it at the expense of his life.
At the end of the film,sunlight shines in through the window.Shagen,who is still in his dream where there is no evil,will never know what has happened.How I wish the world in his eye is not a dream!
Maybe someday our world will really be a Garden of Eden with no evil ,no cheat,no voilence......Who knows!

Warcraft---my love

Warcraft, a famous computer game, is pupular among many young adults. I love it, and I will play it when I'am free. When I was in China, I will play it after school, and here, Eton Hall,certainly, an important way of relaxing myself. My roommates often play with me.
You may think I am addicted to this game, but in fact, Warcraft is my hobby, a part of me, not my all. And I want to tell the people who addicted to this game, Warcraft is not real, it's fantasy, but you are in the real world, you cann't live in the fantasy world. So, just let it be your pastime, not your major, we come here for study and a bright future, not playing games here.
This game is issued by Blizzard Entertainment, a famous company. If you want to play this game well, you need a quick finger and a quick mind. For example, if you want to play Orc, you need a high technique. Just say it's hero, Blademaster, you need to know the shortcut keys, like "B", "R"and"W". Do you want to have a try? Just joking, but it's really a good way of relax. I love it, and it helps me a lot.

My favorite animation-Detective Conan

  Detective Conan,one of my favorite animation,tells a story about how a  handsome and perceptive boy -Shin'ichi Kudo helps the cops fight against the underworld using his talent in detection.

   Shin'ichi is a 17 years old high school student who loves almost nothing but football and detection.Ran Mori,Kudo's classmate as well as girlfriend,is a beautiful and considerate young lady,whose father-Kogoro Mori works as a private detective.One day,when Shin'ichi made an appointment to see Ran at the park,he witnessed an illegal trade by accident.Unfortunately,he was noticed by the bad eggs and soon he lost himself.He ate a kind of poison unconsciously;when he came to life again,he found himself back to his childhood,the boy he was ten years ago.In order to survive,he changed his name as Conan and lived as a pupil.From then on,the fight between the goods and the bads really began.What's in store for Conan?Will Shin'ichi come back and live a happy life with Ran eventually?There are many guesses as the animation series continues putting out new movies.What's the ending;when will it come to the end?Who knows;just enjoy yourself by expecting what comes next if you're interested in detective film.And I promise you'll never disappoint yourself.

OUR DAILY LIFE

Our life in Singapore is very easy .We live in eton hall ,the traffic here is very convenient and comfortable .

About 8 o’clock I sit in my classroom and put out my dictionary to look up the words that I don’t know.9,our classes begin ,we read some articles for about 45 minutes then begin to listen to the teacher. I do not understand all about what the teachers say but I try to tell the words that they speak in class.
I have lunch at 12, then I will sleep in our classroom, but sleeping there is not very comfortable, because our classroom is very cold.
At 1:30 we begin our afternoon classes. At 4:30 the all day classes are over. We walk out to the bus stop to wait for the bus.

A charming dialect~

There are many kinds of dialects in China, such as Cantonese, Sichuan dialect and so on. But in my opinion, the northeast dialect is the most wonderful dialect in China.
You must think I am mad, or you may say that I come from Liaoning Province, so I say so, but I want to tell you: I am seriously saying this! What I want to say follows:
First, the dialect can be understood by everyone. Some dialects in the south of China, when spoken very fast , then we won’t know what they want to say, but the northeast dialect is , I think, is more closer to our life, it comes from the most common nature(in other word exoteric), so I say it’s easy to understand.
Second, I am inclined to the opinion that the northeast dialect is easy to make people laugh, in the northeast China, there are many famous people known by the world ,such as Zhao Benshan, Pan Changjiang,and a lot.They are good at making people laugh just by speaking, and many people imitate Zhao Benshan’swords, that’s charming,that’s the highlight of it, I think so!
Last but not the least,we northeast people like speaking loudly, which means we are forthright,yes , it helps the northeast dialect spread more quickly, little by little,more and more say northeast dialect, and more and more people know more about the northeast of China!
That’s what I want to say about my hometown’s dialect,if you want to know more about it,you can click here: http://baike.baidu.com/view/254117.htm ,it will tell you more,thank you!

my English study

I have study English for about 9 years. I don’t think I like it, but I try to learn it well.
I begin to study English from primary 4.At that time I don’t know why my mother let me to study a language like that and I don’t like to recite anything, so in my first year of studying English I nearly learn nothing.
In my junior high school I have a very good English teacher who teaches me a lot of things about English and how to learn English well. I appreciate her very much. Since then I love English very much.I like English stories very much and always try to understand what the author want to tell me I like this feeling.
In my high school we have to do text book every day ,in the third year of high school we do lots of problems all day to prepare for the college entrance exam,at that time I feel tired about it.But I try to keep my interest in English .
After our bridging course starts,I find that my English is still very poor ,I have to improve it in many aspects. I will try my best to learn English well.Come on!

Powerful Google

If I say someone can see anywhere of the earth, don't be amazed.
The pictures below are cut from google earth , or the eyes of the God.

When I first used google earth, I was shocked. Because every corner of the world can be so close to me. So I strongly suggest you who have not used it to download it and experience the surprising power of the information technology.And it is free and legal to download and install it.

But I want to say what you have experienced is just a corner of the iceberg of google.

Let me show you something more amazing.

I have known a person in my former university whose name is Shang Xuequan,which in Chinese is 尚学全.Let's see how much information about him can we get from the google.

First we search his chinese name at google.cn. Now we get 71 results.

Obviously, some results have no relation with him.Now I will only quote three piece of important imformation about him.

From the results above I can summerize the information about him now:

I.He is in the advanced class of Electrical Engineering Academy of 2008 in Huazhong University of Science and Technology.And I guess he is an important role of his class.He has a partner whose name is Luo qingqi,which in Chinese is 罗清璟.

II.His student number is U200811877.He majors in Electrical Engineering and Its Robotization.

III.He graduated from Yunyang High School.His score of the entrance college examination is 631.His hometown is Shiyan in Hubei Province.(I searched Yunyang High School and knew its location so knew his hometown.)

Enough!You can even search his name at xiaonei.com.You would probably see his photo and if you are clever enough that you cheat him to add you to his friends list,you will know his life!!!

Google can be used more than this. It is also an important tool in hacking. But time is limited today. I may tell something about it later on.

The legend of 1900

The movie carried me far away to the broaden sea between Europe and America,. Our hero, 1900, was born there. All through his life, he has never left that ship. He lived in the world for 30 plus years, but in the record, he never existed.
The movie is filled with magic and surprise. One such thing is that he was born with the talent of music. When he first sat before the piano, his fingers danced like butterfly, the melody flowed out, like it was already deeply scripted in his gut. From that day on, he was famous on the ship.
One day, when he was recording his music, he saw a girl, or rather an angel. She was so elegant and clear. Her light blue eyes perfectly matched the color of the sea. Her face, looked from every angle, is unquestionably a piece of god’s work. He was deeply moved. The music turned tender and affectionate. Every note was like a stroke on your hear and a kiss in your mouth. But the girl just walked by……
Days come that the girl would leave the ship, 1900 pushed his way to the girl, talked to her about her father, who was also once on the ship. On departure, the girl kissed him on the cheek. That’s the most beautiful kiss I’ve ever seen. She also invited him to her home, but 1900 knew that he would never make it, for he could not leave the sea.
Things back to normal after that. Except all of a sudden, 1900 decided to land. Along with the camera, I saw him walk down the stairs slowly and hesitantly. Then he stopped, raised his head, and gazed at Manhattan before him. A complex smile occurred on his face, he turn around and went back to the ship. At that moment, my heart was bleeding. Just a couple of steps further, he would stand on the land. A new life is waiting for him, a life of an ordinary man, for whom the sea is only a place to visit, not a place to live.
However, the land is too big a ship for him, he can’t handle it. His life is deadly knotted with the ship. At this time, a tragedy was already indicated obviously.
In the end of the movie, the ship was exploded. He refused to leave the ship and was buried with permanently under the sea.
What we have today is a story about 1900, a legend, a man who came and left with the sea.
One thing bothering me is what the meaning of life is. Could he possibly get away from the ship? Is there alternative for the tragic ending? Why some one makes different choices deliberately?
Maybe we are all destined to be ourselves. And that it is not a problem of fair or not. God is more than fair, the human being or the universe is in coherence as a whole. And the pain is just another form of happiness.

To jot down a Christian meeting

Last night we were invited by Mr. Seto to have a meeting at his church. As a free dinner is offered and we had long been tired of the meals in Eton Hall, we were more than willing to go. The dinner is supposed to start at 6:30 p.m.; however, we wasted a lot of time finding that place. Before we got there, it was already approaching 8:00 o’clock.
Mr. Seto welcomed us warmly at the gate. He was the tutor of another group. It was the first time I met him. He was middle aged and very easy going. When we got upstairs, the room was already piled with SM3 students like us, most of who had already finished their dinner and began to chat. We then helped ourselves to the food hastily. To our expectation, it was much better then Eton Hall’s.
8:30 p.m., Mr. Seto led us to the meeting room. After a brief introduction, he asked someone to talk about their relationship with god. The first to speak was an Indian lady who is also a tutor in NUS. Being born in a very conventional Muslim family, she really had a hard time to make the decision to believe Jesus. She made it when she was studying in NUS twenty years ago, and remains faithful till now.
Another one to speak is a senior student from China. He was now pursuing his PHD in NTU. He shared about his loneliness and emptiness when he entered university. “Why I come to Singapore? What is the meaning of all the things I learn here? What can I do after I graduate”, those are his questions, same is ours. There is a great uncertainty and confusion after we come to this totally new country.
But there is god, as Mr. Seto addressed. God always love you, he’s always with you. He let his son die for the sin man has committed. Whenever there’s pain, he is suffering together. I’ m not sure whether such creator do exist. But I’d rather believe it is true. For it give me a sense of safe. This god is different that he’s so closed to every one, just like a close friend.
The meeting will be held every other week, and I’m sure to attend. I am not a Christian, but the meeting does make me feel peace. Everything in the world, you don’t have to believe, but at least you have to know.

My Point Of View On Selecting Major

For now,one of the biggest confusions in eton hall is about our future majors.What should we choose as our future career?I'm not clear about that either.However,it could be anything that decide your choice but not the money.First,the income you get when you get as a newly graduate is approximately the same I,g,ise and me.So,it's not wise to select your major simplely by its income.Second,to be rich doesn't mean successful.It's the value of our work that counts.We should ask "do I really like it" as to be successful,the first thing to do is fall in love with your work.Interest is very very important if you want to be happy while make a living as well.This is my first blog.Sincerely hope that it's not all nonsense and help someone a bit.

If You Are In Eton Hall

If you are in eton hall, you will find out how poor pigs are, because you have to enjoy the food for pigs here;if you are in Eton Hall, you will start to realize that can't connect to internet is a very fortunate thing,because when you successfully connected to internt, you will be insame since you need to wait for maybe one hour to open an file;if you are in Eton Hall, you will know that never to defecate is one of the dreams that you want to achieve the most, because the condition of its washroom is like in a refugee camp;if you are in Eton Hall, you have to go shopping frequently, because once you sent your clothes to loundry,it may be the last time you see them.......
MOE, please do something!We can't watch our juniors have the same hard time next year!

My New Life In Singapore

As time goes on ,I have been in singapore for about 1 month. This is actually the first time I have left from my parents. So I was overwhelmed by the homesickness when I arrived here at first. I miss my parents,miss my friends,miss everything in China. However,I can not go back to the past,since I have chosen to come here.I told myself I must learn to face the reality,everyone will grow up,and we will leave the shelter built by our parents sooner or later.What we can do is just to try your best to adapt to the surroundings.So I try hard to get used to my new life in Singapore gradually.
In Singapore,we have met many seniors from WuHan University who come here through the same project as us.They all treat us quite well,do whatever they can to help us accustom ourselves to the new life and overcome the homesickness.I sincerely appreciate what they have done for us.
Now,my bridging course has begun,and everything goes to the normal orbit,life becomes busy again.I like this kind of state,becasue it will make me have no time to miss the past and give me a chance to make new friends.I think I am really lucky to jion group 6.Because it is a harmonious group,in which every member gets along well like a big family,and you can always heard the laughter from our classroom.Having relaxed for such a long time,I find it a little difficult to concentrate myself in study.What I often consider is still what to play or where to find delicious food.So I think I should do something to get myself immersed in study as soon as possible since my fellows from WuHan University are all hard-working everyday.
To tell the truth,I do not do well in English,especially in my spoken English.Every time I speak english I will feel nervous and inconfident.I hope I would get rid of the fear and improve my spoken through the course.
Everything just begin,what is in store for me is unknown,but I am confident that I will be able to deal with everything well.The little bird has grown up,she is ready to fly up high.Come on!
At last, since the Spring Festival is around the corner,may everyone have a bright future!
