June 29

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

      Several days since my last surfing on net. Tomorrow is the first day of our final exams. We are going to have the wring test at first.

      I haven’t done sufficient preparation for my finals. Unlike last semester, I can hardlly concentrate. I would like to owe the fault to the scorching weather. The sun keeps shinning all the way through this month, sparing us not at all any raindrops. Rarely can I hear any birds singing outside. Instead, the cigalas are hysterially groaning against the panic.

     Summer is my favorate season, because I love the feeling of sweating. However, this very season are making people mad and blundering. Nothing can be achieved in his test of self-decipline. Winter is the last season I would like to live in. But people are more likely to be patient and calm.

     I hope tomorrow heaven will bestow us a shower of rainfalls. Sweating me!

Couch Surfing

Friday, June 27th, 2008

      At the outset of this semester, I planned myself a long long journey in the up-coming summer holiday. However, lots are to be taken into consideration even when I am just day-dreaming about it. Accomodation is one of the most bothering one.

      Because I am only an on-campus college student without high income, I can hardly cover the expense on the way. Accomodation costs the most. Good for me to know that there is one fashione way of travelling called COUCH SURFING.

      It is a free international net-based hospitality service.Currently it covers 226 countries withe hundreds of thansands registered members. Membership can be easily obtained on its website. That is what I have done recently to get in touch with those offering couches in the cities I’m planning to go to.

      If  you get permition by a host, you can go to his or her city and live in their house for a certain period of time. They offer you a couch to sleep in without any charge. And you, only have to enjoy your journey and at the same time make sure not to disturb the normal life of the host. That means you should respect their way of living  and go back to the house on time, instead of 2 o’clock in the night.

      Very much likely, I’ll try one of them in a possible destination. I’m not sex discriminated, but I think it would be much safer for me to go to a female’s house, who have an extrovert personality. Good luck for me and the potential host. Hope I won’t ruin their houses. Just for a joke.

 Let me make a wish: I’d like a couck like this!

Intestinal Inflammation

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

      Why? I’m always thinking about why I am so lucky to have nothing pleasant at all in this school. You know my roomates are going out with their boyfriends to dinner and to self study. I actually do not envy them. But the most unfair thing is why should I go to self study with intestinal inflammation?

      The finals are approaching. Every one is preparing for it seriously, me too. However, I’m not a person who would be likely to stay in the classroom all day long and go back to the dorm after 11 pm. That would make me mad. So I decided to put off my revision right before the exams, so that I can fully concentrate myself on the progress.

      Luck seems never put me into its consideration. The second day of my revision welcomed the damned inflammation. It kept awake all night long, tossing and turing with my stomach torturing me in revolt. It seems as if the hurt was to take my life. Therefore, my revision plan is totally messed up. Now, I am even short of strength to walk down-stairs to buy myself a bowl of gruel…

A Heroin in Ancient China– Fu Hao

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

       Fu Hao was a famous lady far back into the Shang Dynasty. She had been beautiful since born into a rich family. She married the king Ding Wu and became the queen. She obtained the favor of the king all the time. Her military talent hadn’t been discovered before an event broke out in the country:

      Once when the country was in war with the tribe named Gui Fang in the east, another tribe, Qiang in the west, tried to fish in the troubled water, trying to attack Shang country in the back. King Ding Wu was very upset about the nasty situation. At that time, the queen volunteered to lead the arm to go out for the war.

      However, it was unusual to have a female commander in a military troop, but the king compromised in the end due to the persistance of him queen.

      Then the queen started to organise her troop. She selected thousands of prisoners to serve as her soldiers. She gave the Qiang invaders a big lesson and then continued fighting. Finally she conqured several tribes in the West, enlarging the territory of her country.

      Unfortunately, she didn’t live long.Bbecause of the deseases she died at an early age, living the king four sons. To memorize his outstandingly talented queen, the king built a big tomb for her and hold a state funeral for her. This tomb still exists. You can visit it in Hennan province.

The Five Poisonous

Monday, June 23rd, 2008

      It is regarded in Chinese folk tales that there are five poisonous animals that intend to bring disease and disarsters to people. They are: scorpions, snakes, centipedes, geckos and toads.

      Moreover, there is a saying among people that the five poisionous wake up on the Dragon Boat Festival and try to stir up disarsters and plagues. Thus, people thought of many ways to get rid of the threat of those five poisonous.

      This is a picture of the five poisonous. Believe it or not, people use this as a way to fight against the five evils. They drew this picture on red paper and put them on the wall. Then use five niddles to pierce them respectively. This is the way people killing the five poisonous on the festival and comforting themselves to be healthy in the rest of the whole year.

     

Fancy Mini Cars

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

      Have you ever dreamt of drving in a tiny little fancy car that is uniquely designed. Can you imagine how romantic it would be to drive in a car like that with your be-loved ones? Don’t you think it would be the cooooooolest to drive with everyone else’s envious glances in the road? Wouldn’t you agree that most of the cars today are mostly look the same on the first sight? Would you like a change?

      Look what we have collected for you today !

Thesis Oral Defence

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

      I cancled my revision plan for yesterday and took a bus early in the morning to the old campus, because the thesis oral defense was held there yesterday.

      Trees are luxuriently green as it has alway been. Walking on the quiet yet acdemic feeling campus is rather ravishing. We were in time for the comment to the sample oral defence made by a female senior student. She receive an extra five points for her bravery to stand out as the first one.

      During the following three hours in the morning, we watched several seniors doing their presentation and being confronted with harsh questions. From their performance, of course, I learnt some experience and noted them down. However, it’s not an easy job to do. It envolve too much work including reading, understanding, summerizing, paraphrazing, reorganizing and presentation skills, courage, good manner to take out the defence, etc.

      Today, the seniors are required to move out of their dorms on the old campus. That is to say, we are the up-coming seniors now. There are only three months before our senior year. I cannot help worrying about my last year in college. It is supposed to be as routine as the one the move-outers have once pushed through. No surprise but heavy psycho burden. Thesis, resume, job hunting, defence and total dependence on oneself only.

Fancy Police Cars

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

      Taking up career as a police is not as relaxing and secured as an office worker. we may assume white collar workers have high salaries, delicate dinners and fanci cars. While at the same time, policemen are supposed to be uniformed in heavy coats, driving dull cars or even only motors.

      However, there are some lucky policemen deserve our envy. Let’s have a look at their vehicles.

      Even SPORTS CARS are in use. I envy them…

      Wouldn’t you agree that their cars are fancy enough to attract the most coward man to join?

      This Tank is the most amazing one I’ve ever imagined a police car could be. Anyway the policemen driving it should have been the luckiest ones.

Father’s Day

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

      I’d been in tense with my father for almost my entire life. I couldn’t bear him talking to me whatever it’s about, and that kind of situation lasted until last few months.

      It was last winter vacation when I went back home, all in a sudden, I found him thinner and weaker than ever. He was not as irritable as before. He invited me to sit besides him gently with smile on his face. The first time ever in my life I felt I was respected by him instead of commanded by him as a subordinate.

      He did cooking and cleaning this time and asked me to have rest. He talked to me after meals concerning about my plan for future. He cares for me. From the wrinkles on his face, relaxed muscles and deficient voice, I realized he is old. Yes, he is no longer the bad-tempered man I was always dread of. He has no longer the vigor to shout at me.

      Suddenly, sorrow stroke me in floods. Dad, I wanna say, I love you. Happy Father’s Day.

Wrecked Mi-171 Has Been Found

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

      Weeks before one of the helicopters heading for Tang Jiashan accidentally crashed down. The government sent several troops to find the wrecked Mi-171, but the bad weather and high moutains placed great difficulty in front of them all. Days passed we still had no news about the disappeared helicopter.

      However, the soldiers didn’t give up. Until they found the wreckage and carried the remains of the pilots down the moutains. All the staff on the very helicopter were found dead. Then the commander in chief ordered the soldiers to carry the remains down the moutains on shoulders, as the landscape doesn’t allow any vehicles to approuch.

      600 brave soldiers took part in the transferring. In the morning of June 13, they arrived in Yin Xiu. Some of the remains has already been transported to Cheng Du.
