24号忙了一天准备做一个Classical Chinese Music Mix，选好曲目以后又想做封面，越做越久，不过很开心啊。开始是想送给Dona的，后来发现没有两天做不了之后一个很猥琐的念头牢牢占据了我的心，那就是，不如多做几份～～ 因为答应实验室的同事去公园，下午两点多的时候就去了。公园很不错！如果是一个人去就更好了！或者，同去的人是个真正的朋友！靠，枉我平时尊重他，考虑他英文讲不好有些小事还能帮就帮，一已婚的老头居然想占我便宜！再绅士，归根结底还是想占人便宜！想想就气，但是当面又居然不会发火，还不停地自我检讨是不是我太冷酷了－我承认，不再给家里打电话以后，我一直觉得自己是个冷酷的人。只不过，不冷酷，我真的会死的。人，总是这样矛盾。
OK I was quite amused by the video: albeit a man who can not run his country and turned another one into a living hell, he sure has very good reflex. Then I saw this comment below the youtube post:
utubesuperstation (2 minutes ago) A shame he wasn't in an Iraqi Shoe Store.
Can't help imagining the scene, and that helps...
P.S. It seems that the Iraqi TV reporter who threw his size 10 shoes at Bush yelled "This is a farewell kiss, you dog!" when he launched his weapon of mass destruction...
12/01 evening, China (picture downloaded from the internet)
12/01 evening, USA (taken around 7:20pm)
//tears... actually by 12/02 evening, the star moon party seemed to have turned to the upside down unhappy face viewed from China, which may mean that if I had known about this one day earlier and come out to look at the sky on 11/30 evening (alas it was a Sunday!), I might have caught the smiley little family... maybe not, my sense of space sucks. But somewhere sometime, they were once happy....
第一次跟老外去打painball，玩的是抢旗的那种。 由于第一次玩，一直跟着个看起来很专业的队友跑， 一路上躲着子弹跑到对方的base. 我们人都挂了，对方就剩一个人在看老家。 就听那老外跟我说了一大堆术语，我也没听懂。 他看我没听懂就跟我说：it's easy just cover me when i go out. 说完了就喊了一声 cover me! 然后跑了出去， 我也不懂他是让我掩护他， 没等我想清楚他就跑了。 我就顺手从一个箱子上扯下来一块帆布，丢他头上 ，把他盖住了。结果他就光荣牺牲了。当时大部分人都挂了，在旁边观战。所有人都笑趴了。
刚到US的朋友,到了纽约,想去看自由女神,但是不知道路.于是乎在路边抓了一个白老 --Hi, do you know where is the free woman? 白老愣了半天,支支吾吾 --I... don't know...Tell me when you know it.
突然想起还有一个朋友在语言学校时的东北一小哥的笑话，不过那男孩是好心。。 那天那小哥下课快到家了，结果看到两辆车撞了，他就出于好心报警了，“Hi， My name is XXX, a car fucked a car, I see red water ,plz cal Wuliwuli come" 解释一下，a car fucked a car 就是car crash, red water他是想说blood,wuliwuli是ambulance,因为ambulance的声音是这个。。。 其实他是想说：there's a car crash here, someone injured plz call ambulance come over. 最搞得是，police竟然听明白了，警车和ambulance马上就到了。。。牛啊！！！
来的第二年了，我去商店买鞋，然后拿着就去问营业员：is this made of beef or pork ( 俺的意思就是猪皮还是牛皮的），那个营业员的表情到现在都记得。
我舅舅刚来多伦多没多久发生了车祸。警察来了问他当时的情况。他说 I stop, he not, so "BONG" ! * BONG* 就是那 撞车的声音
一个朋友, 才来英国不都是要去警察局注册嘛，我那个朋友当时英文不是一般的差，他连警察局怎么说都不知道。但是他还是很有勇气，一个人打算去警察局注册。走在路上，他随便抓了一个老爷爷，想问说警察局在哪里。但是他发音不标准，把police说成please，那个老爷爷挣扎了半天，听不懂～于是他着急了：“please啊，wear hat, use gun！”一边说一边还比划动作。终于那个老爷爷听懂了，然后回答他：‘you want to find police? they are everywhere!" 他更着急了，于是大声说“ no no no, i want a group of please, they stand together...."那个老爷爷这次真的听懂了，原来他是要找police station！于是老爷爷把他带去了，还对police说这个从中国来的小伙子英文不好，他需要帮助.
说个我朋友的， 他叫李硕，刚来英国第2天有个老外问他说：r u sure? 他想都没想还笑嘻嘻的跟人说：yes , i am shuo lee！
I'm sick and tired of this. Can't read, can't focus. The ghostly past jumped into my head out of nowhere and started to haunt me over and over. I can barely talk to people, or even reply to emails. My mind is at somewhere else, or at least it wishes to be. I don't belong here, I don't belong anywhere. I don't know how to live, how to love, how to go on.
Sometimes I feel like almost addicted to the pain. Luckily or unfortunately, there's no painkiller for this sort. Otherwise I'm pretty sure I'll be addicted to that as well. - I take that back. I sympathize with the addicts, faults of their own or not, chances are that it was pain that got them into the whole mess. Honestly if I had easy access to drugs, I might have fallen myself. Maybe not, I'm too proud to let myself being manipulated by ... pills or drops of liquid. Plus, I don't want to waste the money. There are always quicker ways to die and at least I can leave something to people who wish to live on, preferably children. I don't like old people. I will carry bags for an old lady and give my seat to seniors of course, but the concept just reminds me of one whose name shall not be spoken.... Well in fact, I don't really know that many old people. I literally have no memories of any of my grandparents. I wish I had known at least one of them better, longer, and that they loved me, like in a novel.
Yeah I noticed, so many "I"s, what a self-involved hag I am. Finally I'll be able to start the babyholding thing toward the end of this month. I hope I can hold them firmly and gently, and let them feel something I myself have been craving for all these years, if I can. But to be honest, I'm a little scared now. What if I see a baby going away? To a better place or not, I'm not sure if I can take it... It will be fine, it will be fine, it will be fine. You all will be fine...
OMG just checked these few sentences and found a whole bunch of typos and misplaced words. Great, now I can't even write!
heeeheeeheee, I feel like my mood is bouncing back gradually. Hopefully it will continue to go up and then saturate at a nice, pleasant level and stay that way for ever and ever!
In any event, I've been subject for fMRI scans in a motion related study, and I was just told that my MT was really big and showed very clean, pretty responses, way better than other subjects. It got me proud. Looks like no matter how broken my heart is, or no matter how messed up my preforntal cortex, amygdla, basal ganglia etc. are, I still have a perfectly fine body and a beautiful rest of the brain. Is it a waste? I don't know... I hope in the end it isn't.
Yeah in the "good" days, minute things like this make me happy. I'm a content little lime, for now.
"The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering." -Ben Okri
Maybe when those days come, this will remind me one meaning of life :)
There is a pleasure in the pathless woods -Lord Byron
"THERE is a pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, By the deep sea, and music in its roar: I love not man the less, but Nature more, From these our interviews, in which I steal From all I may be, or have been before, To mingle with the Universe, and feel What I can ne'er express, yet cannot all conceal."
I don't really feel the same way all the time. But it would be nice if I do...
"Letters are dangerous. They live on long after their passions have died." - a line from "Stage Beauty"
Bravo to that line!
"Love is a wish that hides in your heart and nobody knows about it but you." "Love is blinding. An eternity in a single moment. A religion worth dying for. And it's also time consuming. And a hole in the heart..."
Surprisingly, these are lines from "Bandits", and a bank robber said them!
I know what my problem is - I always love the impossible. Whether or not I love because they're impossible, my fear or pride makes them impossible anyway... Oh well. But I do wish all the "impossible" to be as beautiful and good as they could possibly be, and to be appreciated, cherished by the world.
Super trouper beams are gonna blind me But I wont feel blue Like I always do cause somewhere in the crowd theres you
I was sick and tired of everything When I called you last night from glasgow All I do is eat and sleep and sing Wishing every show was the last show (wishing every show was the last show) So imagine I was glad to hear youre coming (glad to hear youre coming) Suddenly I feel all right (and suddenly its gonna be) And its gonna be so different When Im on the stage tonight
Tonight the Super trouper lights are gonna find me Shining like the sun (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Smiling, having fun (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Feeling like a number one Tonight the Super trouper beams are gonna blind me But I wont feel blue (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Like I always do (sup-p-per troup-p-per) cause somewhere in the crowd theres you
Facing twenty thousand of your friends How can anyone be so lonely Part of a success that never ends Still Im thinking about you only (still Im thinking about you only) There are moments when I think Im going crazy (think Im going crazy) But its gonna be alright (youll soon be changing everything) Everything will be so different When Im on the stage tonight
Tonight the Super trouper lights are gonna find me Shining like the sun (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Smiling, having fun (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Feeling like a number one Tonight the Super trouper beams are gonna blind me But I wont feel blue (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Like I always do (sup-p-per troup-p-per) cause somewhere in the crowd theres you
So Ill be there when you arrive The sight of you will prove to me Im still alive And when you take me in your arms And hold me tight I know its gonna mean so much tonight
Tonight the Super trouper lights are gonna find me Shining like the sun (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Smiling, having fun (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Feeling like a number one Tonight the Super trouper beams are gonna blind me But I wont feel blue (sup-p-per troup-p-per) Like I always do (sup-p-per troup-p-per) cause somewhere in the crowd theres you
ABBA The Winner Takes All
I don’t wanna talk About the things we’ve gone through Though it’s hurting me Now it’s history I’ve played all my cards And that’s what you’ve done too Nothing more to say No more ace to play
The winner takes it all The loser standing small Beside the victory That’s her destiny
I was in your arms Thinking I belonged there I figured it made sense Building me a fence Building me a home Thinking I’d be strong there But I was a fool Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice Their minds as cold as ice And someone way down here Loses someone dear The winner takes it all The loser has to fall It’s simple and it’s plain Why should I complain.
But tell me does she kiss Like I used to kiss you? Does it feel the same When she calls your name? Somewhere deep inside You must know I miss you But what can I say Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide The likes of me abide Spectators of the show Always staying low The game is on again A lover or a friend A big thing or a small The winner takes it all
I don’t wanna talk If it makes you feel sad And I understand You’ve come to shake my hand I apologize If it makes you feel bad Seeing me so tense No self-confidence But you see The winner takes it all The winner takes it all......
ABBA Chiquitita
Chiquitita, tell me whats wrong Youre enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that youre oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth Im a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, Im the one you must rely on You were always sure of yourself Now I see youve broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leaving Youll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, chiquitita
So the walls came tumbling down And your loves a blown out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that youre oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leaving Youll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, chiquitita

Im nothing special, in fact Im a bit of a bore If I tell a joke, youve probably heard it before But I have a talent, a wonderful thing cause everyone listens when I start to sing Im so grateful and proud All I want is to sing it out loud
