Hey, where is my blog yesterday? Couldn't find it. Was it not saved or published? I really got confused.
But after I calmed down, I asked myself: was the blog really that important? To you yourself or to the others? But to be honest, I havn't seen many comments so it didn't matter at all to others. And then what about yourself? Writting blogs is like the traditional diary-writing and its purpose it to record some of your deeds or thoughts for that day. I don't use blogs to share music or photos with others. The fact is I have a exclusive website for the photos I take on yahoo. For music, the same case. My conclusion is: writting blogs is more like a outlet of my emotions. Maybe you will agree with me. So if you did write and your anger or happiness was already released, the content was so not important again.
My life stays still. If I compare myself this moment to me five years ago, there are not too many differences, except I wear more wrinkles on my face or little more on my bank account book. All the rest is unchanged at all. Many people say, life is full of changes and if a life is empty of any change, what's the point then? Look around myself, many of my friends are promoted, motivated, married or had children. I was all blank in these aspects. I really feel I am a loser.
God bless me!

a spring snow came uninvited

Surprise snow!

Really it was a great surprise this morning when I opened the window to let some fresh air in. The entire city is in white? I couldn't believe what I saw. Am I not totally awake, I guess. A second sight and a second thought. All of a sudden, I realized it was a snow,a heavy snow which must had done the night before.

The roads seemed not too bad like after the former four snows. And the wind had stopped. People were walking with excitement, still. This spring snow did bring lots of surprises unexpectedly. It was cool but not so cold for a snow, and I hurried to get out my down jacket and put it on and then grabbed my scarf and camera and I ran out. The bus was all crowded with people, most of them were surly going to the same place as I planned to go.The lake.

When the bus dropped us by the lake, there were already many people there, photographying or making snowmen. Believe me the scene was so different. Clearly I remembered the sunset over the lake just couples of days ago but now all the colors of trees, grass, flowers, hills and the sun all hidden up by the white snow. Just like a pure girl wearing nothing of makeups, unadorned and natural. I walked for about 2 hours and I enjoyed it and even didn't notice that I was now at the right south of the lake, which was kind of 3 kilometres from my starting point in the north. I became pretty tires and hungry so I got on a bus and returned to the city. I had some hot chocalate and hamburge then headed back. I felt some headache and much sleeplier on the bus, maybe because of the cold or being short of sleep last night. When I opened the door to my flat, I just jumped at my bed and feel asleep immediately.

'you are always on my mind.'

'you are always on my mind.'

Don't know why it became so cold today and the low dropped to 3 degrees. In the big cold wind, I hurried to the training site and endured another boring morning. We completed all the needed forms and gathered all relevant materials while the teacher was nagging about the professional morals and so on. After that, many of us complained to the organizing unit for not allowing to chop on the forms in the morning instead of in the afternoon when there isn't supposed to be any lectures. Stupid, isn't it? Since nothing lecture is going to be held, so why trouble so much leaving and coming back 2 hours later on such a cold day? About twenty minutes' gossip ended we won and succeeded in getting what we wanted.

Said goodbye to my workmates and went to KFC for lunch. It was so warm and so quiet today, maybe because it was a little bit late for lunch. Browsing some newspaper and magazine, I enjoyed their honeysweet BBQ chicken wings and then I came back home. Had a long talk with another friend who works only for one year but he got very good chance and is going to promoted soon. He is a very friendly and smart guy. I really feel happy for him.

A post published by hero627 at cnblog caught my attention. It reads a little sad but touching. I really like to share with you. My translation is,

I searched on google and opened the link to' Bamboo dew and lotus breeze'. The page popped out and was all the same as it was six years ago. The tagline is still there: you are always on my mind.

Six years ago, I was new to the net world and opened his web by chance. The sentence attracted me deeply and since then I visited here quite often and spent much time chatting with some young arts students and poems.

Now I havn't visited it for a long time and I would have forgotten it completely if it weren't F who lefted a message on my QQ. I got to know F on that website, who worked as its administor.

He mentioned in his QQ message: his marriage has come to an end even it hurts him so much; but she is so determined to set off. He loves his child and wants to have his, but for her sake, he makes his mind she takes him away with her. Once the token of their love and the evidence of the happy family life they had, the child's leaving makes the grandparents so painful. They were so reluctant and least supportive of their son. They even grow kind of hatred in him. But to be honest, she leaves not because her love for him is gone but instead, she can't get along with his mother at all. Being the son and the husband entangled in the battle between two women, his life is full of fights and quarrels.

He also attached her post at the forum describing the emotional unhappiness after their marriage. All their little joy and pleasure they had for a short time were crushed too soon.

I could picture a very upset and embarrassing man of F between his own mother and wife. After all his efforts he still failed to work them and their relations out.

While reading, I can't help recalling of a picture he sent to me in 2000. In the photo, he and she are sitting close in great smiles. Tonight, I take the picture out again but this time the picture moved me to tears easily. Both of them are crippled and got to know each other in the cyber world. Just as the tagline claims, the first encounter is totally soul attraction and comfident in conqueering all the coming hardship in reality world. They got married, in the end of 2000 and I congratulated and mailed them a present.

It's been 4 years.

They had their child and their careers have been pretty good. But how, who knows, they are breaking up now?

"You are always on my mind. "Forever always on mind?! How heavy is this love admonition! There are so many times we may not fight our way out of this troubled world full of pains and hardships which is marshes of darkness and silence.

The web page is still there but the story on it has become history.

My heart sank; the piano music is flowing like raindrops out of my window.

first day of annual training
Just as expected, the annual training I attended was not so interesting. Something impressed me was the female teacher, while explaining the difference between traditional and the current chronnographs. The accurate of 3 quarters of Wu time is today's 11:36. And the old teacher in the afternoon was a very typical of showyoff. In his clownlike manner he established himself to be a heronic guy and experienced with handling with emergences and troubles, which are possible in our pratical work. But god knows how unlucky man he is, for there were so many mishaps in his working life.
I had a very happy evening going to partyworld karaokeing with three girl friends.( My treat!) Karaoking is the most popular pastime among the young generation in China. In Hangzhou, there are dozens of such KTVs and this Taiwanese owned Partyworld,also named Cashbox is the best. Not only the stereo, the inclusiong of the newest hit songs, but the nice treat of buffet with a bunch of drinks. Don't worry there is no alcohols there. For four of us, singing from 4:30 to 8:30 pm,including the huge buffet dinner cost me only 184 yuan or 23 dollars. Cool, isn't it?
We bring and share with different news. One girl, working for international investment in Hangzhou is going to Japan, Singapore and India to solicit more IT and high-tech investors. She will be away for about 10 days since 29th. Bon vovage!
We sang crazily, as loud as we could. How fun it is to have friends to chat with and party around before each of us goes back to his or her normal life.
Also some shameful thing is, We two got there a little bit early and in order to get enough food for the two supposed to arrive late, we got lots of plates of food. And after they came about 1 hour later we rushed them both to fetch more food. We actually really felt so guilty to notice lots of leftovers on the table. I dogbagged some nuts and candies, not for the food but to lessen our guity.
Tomorrow is another boring day, for sure. In the afternoon we will collect all forms related and submit to the supervising unit and finish this year's traing. What a relief!
Are there going to some funs at class? Looking forward.

last day of my laziness

May 9

last day of laziness

Tomorrow and the day after I am going to attend the annual training, which is always no suprise to me. However, I have to get up early and make it on time. I guess, my lazy time is coming to an end soon and I will become busier. Life has to move on,doesn'tt? Oh, wait! It starts at 8:30, almost the time when I wake up these days. I think showing up is good enough and being on time is not so necessary at all.

To kill the time, what should I bring? Tomorrow's newspapers are the first choice and they can be found at the bus stops; but they can not make too long, right? A discplayer is second option and wearing the earphone you can deafen out all the noise from the trainers. Maybe a novel book or travelogue is good too. And if all these stuff fail, I will just leave there.

Found a friend on MSN and she 's back from a journey. She lost her phone and bought a new one which happens to be the right kind I want, Nokia 3120. I am still hesitating between a cheap but nice one like 3120 or much fancier and powerful kind of nokia 7160. The fact is I don't need to upgrade my cell phone one and only problem with it, xelibri, siemens is the voice is really really low. On many occasion I got screwed up due to this and I have to replace it.

While I was browsing the Peking duck blog, a piece of article got my attention, which is about the 1989 Tiananmen Square Incident in Beijing China. http://pekingduck.org It was good read although a little uncomfortable. I was a high school student when all that occured and in Hangzhou, many college students did take to street and boycott. We, at the last year of high school were busy cramming all the textbook, for one month after that was the entrance examination. It would mean a lot to all our futures and it really did. I didn't do very well and then I was taken in an agricultural university. I remember shortly after the new semester began, we were asked to do a short essay about our viewpoints. We did watch TV on CCTV and were thrilled to see the dead bodies on the square, especially a burned PLA soldier hanging at the streetlamp. Horrible scene it was even today when I recalled it I should say. So in my essay I echoed that PLA soldiers were our guards of stability and would not be so coldblooded and brutal. Six years after than when I got to know more and more about this incident, I felt I was too childish. Not me alone. Now I really don't care much about politics but even so, reading many reports of western press about China or other global issues is very interesting, thanks to the internet.

Oh, before I say good night to you, I want to say my eye is much better and don't worry.

shopped for my nephew

shopped for my nephew

Hi.
I am just back from shopping. I wanted to find some jackets for my little nephew who is only half year old. He was so cute and adorable. My parents and sister are so proud of him. It seems he pretty likes me during my short new year holiday. He is 70 cm tall but gets cold too easily. Surly he is going to be spoiled by all of us. Mostly he's being taken care of by my parents and my sister while his father just lost a lawsuit and became almost pennyless after doing artcrafts trade in another city. I feel a little sad for my sisiter for she has to be very independent not only economically but also emotionally. I hope I could do something for her.
Back to shopping. I didn't realized today was women's day until I found in all the stores on the streets around me there were crowds of shopping women totally happy and excited by sales discounts. I shopped a while and didn't find the right clothes for my nephew. In the end, I grabbed a pair of underpants for myself. Shopping for myself seems very easy but in another way very difficult, for I am very persistant to some brands and designs. So if it's right, I can have it immediately without a second of thinking. Even sometimes I will take 2 or 3 pieces of the same pattern in same or different colors. Am I too veird?
Perfectionist may somebody will conclude I am. Truly I am so not only in matters of shopping, working but also looking for my Miss right. Almost all my classmates are married and having babies already. They and my parents keep asking me what actions or standards for my girlfriend. I always smile in embarrassment, ' Come on, it's my own privacy and I am still waiting for my Miss right.' But, am I really?
I just don't feel very secure about my work, my life. A married man is burdened a lot, as I see it, by family, child and all others. I don't think I am mature enough now, so to some degree, I'm still a child. I just hope I will find as soon as possible a right woman to love and meanwhile to help me be more grown-up.
Today in history, Ruan Linyu, undoubted queen of silent film of 1930s China poisoned herself to death in her villa at a age of 25. Still at the climax of her performing career, she had been stressed too long and were uncapable of taking a little bit more, of all slanders and defamatory allegations about her love affairs. Several years ago a Hongkong-made movie, Ruan Linyu, starred by Maggie Cheung, uncovering her real life, moved the juries and global audience and won Maggie the Silver bear in Berlin.
Last, have a look at my cute nephew!

Are you feeling low? And how low?

Are you feeling low? And how low?
Are you feeling low? And how low?
When I was browsing on the net, a piece of news which took place about one and half months ago astonished me. A 13- year- old boy jumped off 24 floors and killed himself. In his blogs and will letter, he described he was so hooked in the net game and entangled between the real world and the virtual one. His recounts about stories between him and his three best friends puzzled his father and all teachers at school. Why, becasue none of them had ever heard of them before, which turned out to be nobody other than three characters in a popular cyber game.
Sad, isn't it? Another related story is about Cui Yongyuan, a very popular TV programme host of CCTV disclosed he got very serious dysthymia for two years already. And relevant reports said in China today more than 16 million people are suffering serious depressive disorders, 250,000 of which commit suicide each year.
I myself was scared too,when checking with the possible symptoms of this illness, by the fact I am develping a little kind of that, too. Feeling low and losing interest in everything remaining silent and motionless for long. Oh, god! Living now is becoming so stressful to everybody, kids or adults, the poor and the rich and little potatos and celebrities, must counter different types of frustrations and stresses. If not welled handled very probably they could develop quickly into us. Therefore, only those really strong wills can conquer and survive.
Bad weathers of overcast sky and drizzles are definately killer of happy mood and possibly deadly,too. So, why don't we walk out of shadows and breathe the sunshines and cheer up. See you there!

oh my, oh m-eye
Now it's 1:10 pm and I still feels burning pains in my right eye. Lately I have been staying in front of my notebook too long. Guess it is this a little warning,too?
Tomorrow it's March 8th, the International Women's Day. Women-related sales, shopping news, tour programmes are everywhere in the city. And a good friend of mine is just back from L.S. for her vacation with all her workmates, females only. Three hours' bus drive away from Hangzhou, nestled in mountains and rivers, it's not only a very peaceful small town but also means something special to me. My mother was born there and also I spent my childhood there with my grandparents. Before she set off she asked me something about what's special there and what to see and what to do. "Eh, you see, LS maybe doesn't have magnicent architectures and breathtaking views as in other tourist destinations but here in this small town, I just hope you have good relaxation." But after she explained their schedule I doubt, for they were going to take train there. And that means they had to kill 6 hours on the train instead of 3 hrs only if by bus; and the programme seems so rushy they were supposed to stay there only 2 days despite of much troubles of transportation. They did it all in a very "duck-running" way. Welcome back, my friend and have good rest!

plum blossom

plum blossom

What a nice day here in Hangzhou,China! Clear and warm, and I'm sure there're lots of local people going to the botanical garden to appreciate these plum blossoms with friends and families.
Do you love them or, I should ask you, as much as the Chinese? The Chinese never like a flower just because of its floral beauty but more of its spirit it bespeaks. For example, lotus is so loved for it's a symbol of purity and cleaness. Need no more explanation, right? So a lotus is loved so and often used to describe some girl having good virtues although she might be from undecent background.
So what a plum flower represents, then? Simple to understand, it blossomes in freezing cold winter while all the other wither. With its white, pink, red or even light green flowers, it warms your cold winter heart and informs you another spring of sunshine and breeze is coming soon. No wonder it's regarded a flower of hope and seclusion and gain all Chinese great love. By the way, China, unlike most other foreign nations hasn't chosen its national flower yet. Campaign to select national flower was begun some 10 years ago. Good news is plum and peony are the two lastround candidates. If you had the final vote, which one would you like?
Another story related to plum (or mei in Chinese language, also a family name) is in Hangzhou there's a tea valley named Family Mei's valley. As the largest of five villages working on some very tradtional agriculture, great tea production, it welcomes everyday thousands of locals and tourists around the year. Valued to be the finest great tea in China and the world, this all handmade tea earns its famers a very very good living. The picking season of best grade of a year is going to start soon around the middle of March. Till May the tea picked and pocessed belongs to Spring tea, is far more nutritious and valuable than other two season of summer and fall. Do you drink great tea a lot? If yea, I am happy for you for it does lots of healthy benefit to you. Recommendedly, have two cups per day to maximum the intake of antioxidant from it to retard the aging and radiation and keep your young look.
The third plum news is about the coming release of Mei Bojiu's Beijing opera album. This morning I watched a programme hosted by Yang Lan interviewing Song Ke, one of most successful music producers on mainland China. It's going to be a Hi-Fi album of Master Mei, son of the most important opera performer in the 30-50s of 20 century China, Mei lanfan. Check out google for more reports about him.
Have a beautiful day!

Start of my blogging life

Maybe March 4th is just an ordinary day to most people, but to me
I happened to find my lost blogger identity back today. What a surprise, I mean, in the oceans of web sites to have something lost back. I have been reading a lot, and NOW I decide to do my own blogging and make it part of my life.

Yesterday I got a call from my college classmate Wu. He works in a small town about 3 hours away from my city of Hangzhou, China. We havn't met for almost 11 years. And we do make phone calls, but very randomly. And the it goes all like," hello, how's going" stuff. But this call almost lasted an hour. Some very secret life of him it was. He was in the beginning of 30s, which can't be a problem at all in other countries not to get married yet at this OLD age. But in China, except some big cities, this has become a very embarrassing condition really. Whoever you meet, after some questions about your career and health, usually this question follows, when are you going to find your bride. How harsh it is to stop their friendly smiles and caring eyes.
Wu, as he said, was arranged to meet a girl by his own parents wishing to have grandchild eagerly. They were good friends of her parents. So they voluteered to work as marrymaker.( My god! I thought China has lost this tradition for a long,long time. And I am completely wrong.) Pressed so hard, my friend had to make good contacts, but he shyly admitted, he kind of thought of her like a baby sister. He didn't even feel like holding hands with her, let alone other intimate gestures, like, haha. He is more crushed on another girl, who sadly wouldn't become 'the extra third-party'. It's Sophie's choice, chinese version.
I comforted him and welcomed him to run away to my place for some relaxation out of this love dilemma. And do you guess what? He, in a very pleasant tone, wanted to introduce his real love to me. Why, " because you are my best friend and you are still available"

Thank you, Wu.

Another good friend of me, Dong, is similarly OLD. But he is a firm no-marriagism. Today he confessed during MSN conversation, 99% because of the fact he's converted to Buddhism. He has PhD and works as Computer teacher. And Dong continued' how about you, then?'

Yes, how about me?
