blog for myself

Never wanted everyone to read my blog. I write for myself. I put other blog links here just for convenience so I just open my own blog and click through sth I might be interested in.
Sometimes I read friends' blog for a whole afternoon, never knew why and how they can put so much into words. Maybe it's the way I think, that is different from others.
And, I'm perfectly capable of being alone. I enjoy solitary. Guessed I'm too independent, too cold maybe?
Next week will be all about X'mas, too busy to prepare for exams. I hate the thought that I have to be the best. I shall be satisfied by just passing all.
Damn, it's a difficult task. Just hang on!

Relationship sucks

Isabelle DURET-DUJARRIC [Interviews, Part 2]

杜莉·杜莎克的艳丽世界
2008-09-04 11:23 来源：《时尚芭莎·BAZAAR》
来自法国著名的红酒之乡勃艮第地区的伊莎贝莉·杜莉·杜莎克（Isabelle Duret-Dujarric），出生于1949 年，在家庭的熏陶下，3 岁开始习画，现为享誉世界的法国当代艺术家。她的作品有雕塑、水彩、油画和版画，鲜艳的色彩是最重要特征。和作品相比，杜莉·杜莎克拥有冷酷的外表，但她 在广州国际艺术博览会期间告诉我们，她内心最热情的一面在画中。
BAZAAR ：谁为你打开艺术大门的？
Duret Dujarric：我的祖父，他是当地一名非常有名望的艺术收藏家。
BAZAAR ：为什么你所有作品的色彩都如此鲜亮？
Duret–Dujarric：我从小就是这样，我自己无法形容，我只是喜欢鲜艳的色彩，表现鲜活的生命，我喜欢生命而不是死亡或者哀伤。
BAZAAR：你在色彩运用上有一种神奇的力量——站在3 米和30 米外欣赏都一样精彩，你是如何做到的？
Duret–Dujarric：我喜欢还原色彩本身的颜色，保持色彩原先的透明度和饱和度，所有的颜色我都不曾混过，直接上画，或厚或薄，有些地方颜色用的很薄很薄，这是非常具有难度的，我从小就喜欢这样画画。
BAZAAR：你作品中的形象都来自你身边的生活吗？
Duret–Dujarric：我画的画是我看到的世界，是我喜欢的世界。我的生活很简单，就是不断地画画与创作。
BAZAAR ：“法国当代十大画家”的称号对你有什么影响？
Duret –Dujarric：就是让我不断地画不断地画，努力地画。
BAZAAR ：为什么你一直穿红色衣服？
Duret–Dujarric：红色是我喜欢的颜色，除了画画和做雕塑，其他时候我都穿红色的，红色是充满活力、魅力的颜色。

Isabelle DURET-DUJARRIC [Interviews, Part 1]

Exclusive Interview with French Artist Isabelle: Art to Me is as Water to Fish
Updated Nov 28 2007 13:13:20 Beijing Time

Isabelle DURET-DUJARRIC, one of the top ten contemporary artists in France, is invited to be a V.I.P. to join the 12th Guangzhou Art Fair which is to be launched on November 29.
Reporter with www.lifeofguangzhou.com has been granted an exclusive interview with her, concerning her works, her would-be exhibition in the art fair, and future plans in China.

Strong colors, powerful shock

People who appreciate her work are impressed by the bold colors and image her as an active artist. In our interview, however, she tended to be surprisingly quiet. Discussing the colors used in her printings, Isabelle explained that the red color, her favorite color, symbolizes the power of life. Different viewers will appreciate her works from different angels.

Isabelle's works range from sculpture, watercolor, oil painting to print and feature landscapes and Mediterranean figures as the subjects. She created the skills of oil paintings on thick pasteboard, which is now being widely introduced to universities of fine art.

Art to me is as water to fish

Asked which is her favorite medium, Isabelle blurted out without hesitation "All are important." As the child in the artistically inherited family, Isabelle began to study painting at the age of 3. Under Parisian artists' instruction, she soon acquainted herself in the art world.

Isabelle appraises herself as an inner-hot/outer-cold person. "I would like to show the hottest part on the paper. Art is important in my life, as important as the water to fish."

The first western artist invited by Guangzhou Art Fair

Famed in the worldly art and collection circle, Isabelle has showcased her works in dozens of countries around the world. Over 600 masterpieces are now treasured in the private collectors' houses. From entering the market circulation, her works have roughly appreciated over 10 times.

Isabelle's serendipity with China can be traced back 20 years ago. In 1987, her solo exhibition in Beijing was the first one by a foreign artist since 1949, when New China was founded. In 2004, the year of Sino-French culture exchange, Isabelle brought her works to the Shanghai Art Fair.

Isabelle was the first western artist invited by the 11th Guangzhou International Art Fair in 2006. This year, she comes back as a V.I.P. to join the 12th, together with 60 pieces, the same pieces which are considered hits from her former exhibitions.

Masterpiece as gift to Guangzhou Museum

Meanwhile, Isabelle will donate one of her paintings to the Guangzhou Museum during the Guangzhou tour. The painting entitled "la Calanque," valued at over one million RMB in the art market, is as significant as Isabelle's amulet. Wherever Isabelle goes for exhibition, she brings it with her.

la Calanque

The painting portrays a scene of huge stones, hot sunshine and cool beach, symbolizing the pursuit of dream and the satisfaction of reaching goal. Mr. Jacques TOUBON, the minister of French Culture Department, also expresses his great fondness to the works.

Guangzhou is like the south part of France

Having visited China's Beijing and Shanghai, Isabelle's affection toward Guangzhou is no doubt. She said, Guangzhou reminds her of the south part in France. The art atmosphere is similar and ultimately dynamic.

At the end of our interview, Isabelle disclosed that she would have a series of promotion plans in her China tour soon.

GZ International Art Fair

It's fantastic!
The greatest part was meeting Isabelle DURET-DUJARRIC and her great work of art including paintings and statues. Her paintings have such striking colors that immediately attracts everyone entered through the east gate. They're rich, full of light, energy and love and passion for life. To me, they're more than Van Gogh's Sun Flowers. photos will be added later.
Isabelle's paintings are the most wonderful of the whole show. I'm a little disappointed by the works of Chinese artists. Even I can tell they're lack of creativity.
When I was in a french artist's spot, I heard a man judging her work. At first I thought he meant well, and I did a little translation for him and Ms.Maryline, the artist. But later, the Chinese man became not so respectful in choosing his words. He said something about his study of Chinese culture and technology. I wonder what kind of man studies culture and technology at the same time? He was enjoying himself, clearly, saying the artist's work of cultural mix was shallow, at least the reflection of both French culture and Chinese culture was not deep enough. I hated to do that, translating everything as the man asked. And I hated myself for not being able to find some nice words to soften his opinion. Ms.Maryline explained she was only in China for 2 yrs and the man showed no comprehension for that. The errogant man judged, did not appreciate.
After receiving souvenir from Ms.Maryline, we ran away asap from the man. The rest of the journey wasn't as exciting as before. Soon we left for lunch at the M.

The Aftermath

After almost 11 hours in the library, here comes almost 27 hours in the dorm, with 0.5 hour going out for food.
Today I had 13 hours of sleep, then the rest of the day was filled with net surfing and music. Didn't begin working until 8 pm.
I learned today that John Lennon said "Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted.". This gave myself a justification for not doing anything related to work or study.
Tomorrow I shall go out, breathe the air and start fresh. But I don't see myself sitting in the library in the next couple days.
The good thing about staying at school on weekends is that I can sleep for as long as I desire without being disturbed by my grandparents or parents or construction workers. The bad thing is that I've got to look for food myself and it takes me a long time to decide whether to eat sth or not. I hope I could skip all my meals but my stomach protested. I came to believe being hungry is better than being full so I ate little. Is it also the effect of the night spent in the library?

最弱智的游戏

就是在图书馆过夜，which I did play last night.
I came up this stupid yet tempting idea couple of days ago. I had always thought it would be fun, but unfortunately I'm a moron. So I tried to collect 3 smart friends to be my companions. One of them was actually wise enough to leave us at 9:45 pm. The rest of us hopefully arrived at the 24-hour study room, which was surprisingly small and crowded. Then the long journey began.
I was fully charged. But,

---

[15:54pm]My wise friend called me asking how was last night. I told her it sucked. I never realize how crazy and stupid I am until now. It's now even painful to recall my thoughts about this whole idea. So I might as well stop here for now. And continue when my mind is not in a chaos.

糖水铺, other pieces

还好，可以食用，消磨晚上无聊的时间，顺便和部门的人聊个天...Tue.最后一次开会，这个学期的工作结束了，1000字的总结如何写啊～～～～讨厌文字。
不过回到宿舍很饱，睡觉时肚子在消化，产了不少热，挺难受。
图书馆是我的救星。
可是今晚先看了弱弱的sell Ideapad的团队营销，再看经世者决赛，感觉都很一般。穿上正装似乎升了一个档次，可一张嘴，还是平庸的学生（只看到一个不平庸的人）。最终九点才去到图书馆，开始努力高数，悲哀的是作业花了我45 min，其他什么也没做，就滚回宿舍了...

Dido, Brilliant

the new album Safe Trip Home is brilliant!

以后坚决不去贝岗山顶

太恐怖了。今天原以为不会再去，谁知又去了，又吃了不堪入嘴的东西，有很深的内疚感。
下次部门吃饭一定要先问清楚去哪里，坚决不去贝岗山顶！！！
可是，骑车回来时脑海里一直放着Colbie Caillat的Oxygen...

Come and Go

这个星期，刚上学就想着放学。
Tue又逃课去玩roller，终于可以不脱鞋直接从楼下回宿舍，好开心。那个什么服务一条街，我想了老半天终于想到教人玩sudoku，不过这个项目被批的可能性很小，也好，不用准备了～
然后到了Wed，调酒班最后一节课，教做cheese cake，满心欢喜想着有得吃一口，谁知道整晚看着老师做，做完要冻5个小时...干瞪眼。虹吸壶、打cream机、咖啡豆，都很想买，但是都很鬼贵！中级班更夸张，4块水！我哪里来？？？老天啊，掉点钱给我吧！
盼到Thur，上完白痴的思修课，赶去周英开会，可怜的我们被中国大酒店放鸽子...这个学期只能转战朗逸xx酒店，啊，诸事不顺！
终于回到家，竟然在家断网？！荒谬！！！

倒霉的一周

周一：锁单车时手指捅到旁边单车的链上，满手机油
周二：早上起床鼻子很痛。体能测试，跳远只有152，还是跳了第二次的成绩。上了大学不锻炼，大不如前，还被同班男生看到，太样衰了...晚上8.30睡，总是睡不着，在发烧
周三：感冒很重，还没好。晚上学抛瓶，打烂两个，又被同班男生笑...之后不敢再练习
才过了一半，接下来还有什么呢？

When the end gets near

事情做到了最后，总有一种失落的感觉。
班会如此，中秋晚会如此，连组织去敬老院慰问也是如此。Why? I can't figure out why.
今晚的会议我就坐在那里，什么也不想说，只有一种到了尽头而孤独的感觉。可能明天还是这样吧...whatever

These days

工作围绕着敬老院
生活围绕着自己
脑袋围绕着一个人
食物围绕着鸡扒
晚上围绕着开会&贝岗
很想围绕着朋友
音乐围绕着Snow Patrol
电视围绕着Huddy
有时候想一下，这样就够了，死不了，也不会太down...只是，仍然每天充满对happiness & excitement的希望
在看某人的blog的时候突然想起初中时遇见小学同学，仅仅相隔一年，他变了很多，沉郁了，他说所有人都是虚伪的，戴着面具做人，很辛苦。那时候我只是觉得，他成熟了，会想问题了，但我丝毫没有“戴着面具做人很辛苦”的感觉，我不明白他为什么那么阴沉。很庆幸我到现在还没有这样的感觉，因为我一直极力保持自我，真的自己。不屑的人，非志同道合者，我尽量逃避，不会多说一句话，用无声的笑容掩饰冷漠。他选择戴上面具，我选择逃避，或许我更懦弱。也许面具才是这个社会所需的，我只有一副自己的面孔，无法和各种各样的人打交道，也注定了我只有少量的朋友，其他人都是过客，都会被我遗忘或深深地痛恨...他们也不会take me seriously...这样很公平

第一次刷街

昨天实在是太爽了。
第一次穿上小学时代的单排在隧道口小心翼翼地练葫芦步...
五点多去隧道口，6点55决定逃课，8点吃沙县，然后去刷街，9点多踩去中心湖，10点会13栋楼下开会，回到宿舍11点多好在还有热水。多么充实的一个晚上！
只不过今天全身酸痛...

China Hotel

Wow, finally after so much preparation, Rose, Vera and I got to China Hotel. Entered a building of about ten years old, we took an elevator also aged about ten, then we walked into a mini conference room. An officer was expecting us and she went to set up the laptop and projecter as we asked and another officer came in with 2 cups of water and later another cup. Just then the first officer, Olivia which she later introduced herself as, informed us that we should be facing only two students, herself and the one who gave us water, later known as *sorry, I forgot*. We were actually shocked, literally shocked. We didn't know what to do, how to teach the whole class of two officers. Based on the previous communications with Olivia, whom Rose said was a fluent English speaker, we decided right the way to jump to plan B which is designed for high level students, of course the testing part was skipped. Olivia told us that it should be a demo of our class which should last no more than 35 mins, so we cut and cut and cut all the discussions and gave them the main structure. At first I was nervous but after I did my part of introduction during which I made a little interaction with the 2 students, I started to get on track. But I felt I was uneasy compared to Rose and Vera. They tried their best to explain the structure of the speech and useful phrases and I was supporting the falling writing paper. Surprisingly what interested them most was relaxation in the middle of the class. So we went through it smoothly.
After the class was over, we had a little meeting with the 2 officers. They pointed out that we spoke too fast, that we should take students' English level into account and we should focus more on the common use of the phrases. Oh no! We assumed they were high level students at the very beginning! It was the major problem, other than that, I thought we were fine. After everything was settled, we left for 007.
Going to TeeMall(?) with Rose and Vera was great fun. We first bought the movie tickets, then seperated to look for food, at last waited at the cinema entrance. Just then I realized I had lost the ticket, three of us looking up and down, inside out of my bag and my pockets but it was fruitless. So I sent them in and went out looking for that little piece of paper. I remembered my route but couldn't find it. At last I went to the entrance and asked if I could get in. The lady said I should ask the sales window but when I got there, the miss said they had shifted and the person who sold me the ticket was gone and she couldn't make a decision. I raised my voice and she told me to go to the office. In the office, I repeated everything and a man lead me in. Haha, finally I got in. Worth mentioning that I didn't provide any prove that I had paid for my ticket and my friends were in the cinema.
The movie was boring, I still think Daniel Criag is too short. We went window shopping afterwards. It was exciting, all girl stuff. Trying shoes and make-ups and perfumes...
I was planning to watch my friend modeling at the welcome-freshmen party hosted in her university but instead I came to TeeMall. Luckily, the show was broken in by the unexpected shower and I got to do that another time!
It was crazy and we got in the subway only to hear the broadcast saying Line 4 had stopped service. I was so near home that I decided to go home and Rose and Vera together were to catch the last bus back to U. A brief fairwell, I was at home.

新造敬老院

今天终于去了部长们迷路1h才找到的新造敬老院。由于有了副部的tips，我们今天路上没有太多的曲折，比较顺利地到达目的地。
我们找到一个老婆婆，坐下来和她谈话。她已经80多岁，耳朵不好，我坐在她旁边讲得很大声她才听的见。他们老人在那里的生活其实挺闷， 平时没有活动，没有人打麻将，没有人做锻炼，他们只是在宿舍附近散散步，最多和投契的人聊聊天......平淡，没有色彩。那位老婆婆还很委屈地告诉我们，住她旁边的另外一个老婆婆总是骂她，我没有多问，她说她儿子向院长申请过换房间，可院长没有同意，到现在已经两年了。卫生和伙食还是可以的，卫生由护工负责，打扫得比较频繁，宿舍里虽然空空的，但也挺整洁；一周的食谱是定的，应该比较健康（没仔细研究），但长期吃会很闷。很多老人都有脚痛的问题，医院就在敬老院不远，但他们看病要自己付钱（应该是非公费无保险）。平时没有水果吃，他们很多都没牙，也吃不了。我问老婆婆她有什么需要，她很惧怕地说：“不能说的！我们说了我们就会被院长骂的！”这出乎我意料之外。我不断地引导她告诉我们，她就是不说，我们也没办法。
路线和时间我们大致确定好了。但要表演的节目和带去的东西还需要讨论。我认为最有用的是一人一个小药箱。水果也很有必要。清洁工具不用带。
后来和护工谈话，得知原来刚才那位老婆婆有点痴呆症，那里十几个老人都有痴呆症。
那里一共住40个人，只有20个可以出来活动，不知道里面有几个有痴呆症呢...
我们搞活动场地不大，只能在亭子里。无非也是唱歌跳舞说说话罢了...
后来去看饭堂，遇到一个退役军人老爷爷，他比较开朗，讲了一个奇怪的冷笑话，不愧是人老心不老。
其实老婆婆住在那里并不快乐，她家给大火烧了，她去兄弟姐妹家住了一段时间后才去敬老院，孩子都在外打工，敬老院里没有使她觉得快乐的东西。不知道其他老人是否也不快乐...
回来后我在想，我以后应该先设定一个协议，如果我患了痴呆症，就结束我的生命，医生做证明，律师做决定。像老婆婆这样，What is it to live for? Does she live to live? just for a longer life? I can't do that. And what substantial help can we offer? Songs and performance will be forgotten, fruits will be digested, what lasts longer than them? Spiritual? I'm not sure. They tend to forget. We must have something very impressive, very deep to touch their inner feelings. But what and how? I have to figure out.
最后，希望我们的活动有经费，我们的车费可以报销。

Weird Dream

I was extremely scared of death.
In the middle of my sleep this early morning, a sudden fear came to me. My heart was beating so fast that I almost could not breathe. The whole family knew the date of the deaths of both my sister and brother had come. It was like the darkest day of my life. Both my sister and brother had a strange disease which would cause their deaths by the time they reached certain age. My family had tried every possible method to escape this curse but in vain, the time of death had arrived. Thinking all about this, I didn't have the courage to face them. Finally, I found my brother, and he was so quiet. He knew all his life, that the end would be like this. He didn't say a word to me but I could see he was in the greatest pain. Knowing the fact but could do nothing to change it was the most unacceptable part. I just fell in his arms and cried. Then I saw my sister with red and tearful eyes, she comforted me.
That was the end of my dream. I felt I was lucky to get out of that dream ASAP cause it really frightened me. Then I remembered the other dream I had about death, in which I died, I tried to find some resemblance, but nothing. The only thing I've learnt from these dreams is that I am extremely afriad of death. I don't want to die now, I don't want anyone around me to die.

Today's a great day

It's just great.
I'll write later.

This Week

老人院&China Hotel are two major tasks, though China Hotel is not yet confirmed.
Love Pet Shop Boys. Their music can always save me from boredom and give me energy to enjoy life and move forward.

校园网真废

图书馆和宿舍一样的网络。剩下的希望只有café了。

调酒班第二堂课

呵呵。今晚和黄+鱼五点先踩去（其实是她搭我）贝岗找台湾手卷，谁知鬼那么多人，撤，回到三饭，尝了一种叫籺的新东西，发现是骗人的，难吃。我再排队等煮的东西，最终吃到6点多，去到café迟了十几分钟。
Café里已经围了两堆人。我们先去了Raymond那堆。原来是做Cappucino。那个不知道叫什么的机器要5千多块，在家只能用简陋的工具做...
另一堆做的是Latte。反正我两个都无惊无险地搞定，只是发觉两个都不好喝。看来我对coffee还是没什么感觉。cocktail啊，什么时候才来？
For the record，黄+鱼晋升为“熟手技工”。
总的来说，调酒班很不错，那里人人都挺nice，Raymond很friendly。
哦，今天Raymond不断重复一个笑话，至少2遍。基本上就是嘲笑不会讲广东话的北方理发师，“这里要剃gau它”=>“这里要剃高它”，就是这句，Raymond笑了很鬼久。

confessions to make

踩单车，撞人了。
上周某一天，下午上课，心想飞快地在人群中穿梭，当我从后超车，感觉车尾被擦到了，驶出几米开外，只听身后两把声音同时“啊”地惨叫两声，我没有停车，只是刹了一下，回头一望，两个女生一前一后，用脚斜撑着地，差点摔跤。我还是没有停车，只是在想，技术那么差啊，怎么还搭人...边想就加速跑掉，有种肇事逃逸的兴奋...
本周某一天，早上上课，正以较高的速度奔驰在宽敞的路上，突然一个女的斜传马路，我犹豫了一会儿才刹车，又没捏紧，恰好前轮撵上了她的凉鞋鞋跟。呵呵，这次我停下了，就在那个女的用鄙夷的眼光望着我又很痛苦地摸着脚跟的时候，我说了好多个“对不起”“sorry”“不好意思”，她什么话也没说，只是摸摸脚跟，走走，再摸摸脚跟，一定是很痛了，呵呵。见状我也不多说，再次上路。回想刚才为啥撞上她呢？其实她不也有错么？明知这是满街单车，过马路也不两边看，突然转向还要斜穿！这就是后果。
后来我自己观察，发现这里的人都不把单车当一回事，该看路的不看，该慢慢走的慢慢走，都要等单车来到他们身边了，才感觉到要让一让。我也不是要所有人都让着骑单车的，这是为他们自己的安全着想啊！哪有人走路不看路的啊？
这个问题又牵出另一个问题，为什么学校没有专门的单车道？总是踩一段就一组路障，还有坑坑洼洼的路，驾驶感受真是很差。把单车与行人隔开了，就什么事也没有了啊。学校的校道设计也很不合理，去哪里都要绕路，没有一条顺畅的路，在烈日下浪费了好多时间。骑单车的路况不说了，行人的也不好。军训时过马路，走地上，直直横穿，非常好，可后来把人们在绿化从中踩出来的路用铁丝网封住，真令人无奈！还有从马路到教学区的部分，有两三条人从绿化中踩出来的小路，其中一条是人与单车共用比较多，很窄，只铺了小块砖，还有些碎的，接着是迷你斜坡，再接着是震荡到傻掉的草格砖，然后才能来到平路，唉！太无奈。还有排挨...

ubuntu

唉，8.10都快出来了，8.04还没搞好...
这个drcom真是drives me crazy。
看到网上有个帖子写道：要上网，必须装drcom，要装drcom，必须装alien来转rpm，要装alien，必须上网...and so，死胡同。
我也陷入了这个怪圈，幸好vista下drcom没问题，于是上ubuntu package一个包一个包地down，最难受的是，安装时显示dependencies are not satisfied，又要reboot back to vista。这样来回搞了十几次，终于装上了drcom。
更大的问题出现了。我不知道如何查drcom server ip。胡乱填完drcom.conf之后，弹出的窗口总是自动消失，啊！！！
可恶的drcom!

I'm an idiot

• 单车老是停不稳，还撞到自己大腿

Eating junk food, drinking lousy beer

终于有时间坐下来写东西。
昨日，是学院三下乡交流会。身为实践部的一员，老实说，本人没有为此贡献很多力量。做的就只是贴贴海报，帮忙签到，派派报名表这类“有点闷”的事（部长后来问我的时候的用词），本来我也不好意思用“好闷”这个词去回答，但，找不到别的了。
完成这个simple job之后，unexpectedly，还有庆功。不过是找个借口去吃一餐罢了。于是众人提议去“山顶”，我一头雾水地跟了过去。踩车踩到半路，前不见车队，后不见人影。一个人停在ucome门前等了好久，最终弱弱地打电话给部长说我荡失路，被部长笑我在自己学校都...唉，想不明白为什么一眨眼所有人都不见了，我实在是太弱智了。
话说这个“山顶”，原来是在垃圾站向右拐，从一个大斜坡上去（我还要推着单车上去，路边有呕吐物），豁然开朗——遍地大排档。感觉应该是20年前的市区大排档（那时我还没出世），脏乱差全齐，还有呛鼻的烧烤黑烟。唉，马上怀念海南的海鲜大排档，虽然环境不怎么样，但也比这里好很多，而且有美味海鲜吃...整个人顿时down塞，scared。
脏乱差，脏乱差，脏乱差。十几个人挤一张大桌，我去到已经有3支anchor。唉，所谓的庆功啊，就是来这个地方乱吃乱喝一下。烧烤都是黑色的，几乎所有东西都是junk food，at least high fat, high calory，除了粥。粥是我的救星，是唯一我吃了不觉得内疚的东西。本来好好的一杯果粒橙，一杯菠萝啤，谁知后来被副部混了啤酒进去，喝完之后胃很不舒服。I hate the feeling of CO2 in my stomach!!! 我决定戒掉碳酸饮料的啊！！！破戒真的很难受，搞得整个晚上神经兴奋睡不着。
回到这个庆功宴，basically我感觉很闷。没办法，我不是party类的，叫我去爬山还好过。到了约11点，呵呵，部长紧张了，因为...但所有人还是纠缠到11点半才离开。部长好好人，又怕我迷路。
踩呀踩，飞快地离开垃圾堆后才想起来凉茶铺在垃圾堆隔壁，不要！坚决不回头！于是浑浑噩噩回到宿舍，浑浑噩噩上床睡觉，浑浑噩噩直到今天早晨。
11:1x，断网。

---

昨晚还没publish post就断网了，我总是记不住断网的时间。周四，本是最闲的一天。早听后善良的我又善良地加入了学习部的苦力组，搬东西，图书馆到隧道口。唉，无聊，又热。溜回来继续写。
话说昨天下午志协和电脑义修队招新，部长说我们要到那里观摩一下，学点东西。我跑去和电脑义修的人请教他们ubuntu的问题，找到用过ubuntu的人真是很快乐，可惜我觉得他们解决不了我laptop声卡和drcom的问题，唉，还要靠自己。
晚上去上调酒师班，第一节课讲coffee。Raymond 老师的确很不错，上这个课感觉很新鲜，很好。但喝了哥伦比亚咖啡后，“怎么像中药？”心里大失所望。其实我只对cocktail有兴趣，对coffee和蛋糕都没什么感觉。回到宿舍，滚来滚去睡不着，想了很久才找到原因——像中药一样的哥伦比亚咖啡。神经在不该兴奋的时候太兴奋，好难受。
躺在床上想，酒精过敏真是lucky，不喝酒的好办法。但一定是要喝过酒过敏发作了才知道自己酒精过敏吗？啊，我好像1岁多就开始喝啤酒了。不知道是不是那时候弄得自己神经太兴奋，伤到了。
又快上课了，run。下午还有科技月开幕。唉，1 post for 2 days.

---

一直忘了之前想到的一个问题的答案。原来山顶那间大排档，是开始的地方，也是结束的地方。

waiting for the impossible to happen

this is desperate

倒霉鬼

最近凡是认识水瓶座，就问这个问题：“你觉得今年很倒霉吗？”因为我觉得自己今年是有生以来最倒霉的一年。什么是倒霉呢？我的定义是，unreasonable，找不到理由而发生的frustrating的事。实在是太心酸。部长竟然说“习惯就好”，啊，他已经达到了新的境界了！
总结一下最近的倒霉事，包括：

• 皮外伤（撞淤大腿，挤公车弄破皮，锁单车弄破皮）
• 宿舍有水没得喝，原因是师姐B把装好的水摔到了地上
• 感觉被忽略（班里，实践部）

今晚对住高数与解几，第5题，想了，看了答案，还是没明白，于是发呆1个半钟，期间几乎看完部长qzone的所有日志，又深深体会到部长的倒霉经历...唉。最近一直在想，还有3个月，点挨？
实践部的工作，先是催稿，没做，然后拿申请表，打印，交保卫处，打印海报，全都是我partner做的，感觉自己像个摆设，开会认真听，然后想认真做，谁知是认真偷懒，不想这样啊！！！
2个89的水瓶，倒霉事主要是外伤，一个跌了3次，另一个忘记了，反正大家一说起倒霉就有说不尽的伤心事。
校园网的drcom，可恶至极。学校封赛端口，bt,emule都不能用。每晚11：22断，总在我刚想上fetion的时候...
晚晚都11点多才睡，早上6：45起，救命啊，我要睡觉。有些人一天只睡5个钟，但我偏偏是一天要睡8个钟的。
还有好多垃圾的事，真倒霉，真垃圾。

I hate going home

stuffed inside the bus. then changed a few lines in the underground. voilà! here come little dogs and cats, and home.
At home, I am nothing. Everything I do is wrong, inappropriate, unacceptable,impolite, reckless, stupid.
bad apples, unwashed jeans. these are my sins. but there's no guilt inside.
I must leave, and never come back.

Back Home

At first it was joy, and now it's disaster.
I don't know how much longer I can stand this most conservative family. I don't intend to come home every weekend now.
Leave, leave, leave.

今日下午坐地铁，到站，进来一个小胖墩，见到我旁边是大大的空座位，立即叉开脚，撑开手，兴奋地说：“妈咪快来！有好多位啊！”着实吓了我一跳，此时心想，现在的小孩越来越直白！随后跟进小男孩的外婆和妈妈。外婆见状马上说道：“哎哟，不能这样，怎么能这样霸位？”妈妈笑着接道：“哈哈，整个人差点打横躺在这里了！”都坐好后外婆又说：“不能这样的。在广州就可以，回到香港千万不行，会被人笑的！”我就坐在外婆旁边，不用一刻就明白了，广州和香港的差别在于此！小孩又问：“如果我不霸位，你们不就没位子坐吗？”外婆回答：“站一下而已，没所谓。”小孩仍认为自己做得很对。
座位真是一件令人头痛的事。

Le francais est trés difficile pour moi.
It was 3 years ago when I graduated from junior high that I started to learn french. It only lasted a month. Then, 3 years later, now I've graduated from senior high and there's time for me to continue my study of french. But unfortunately, what I learned the first day in the french class was that I had forgotten nearly everything about french except for the pronounciation. Then I struggled. I couldn't follow the teacher so I reviewed the lessons I learnt 3 years ago. I'm glad that I'm getting through this.
In classes given by Chinese teacher, it's mainly about grammar. In classes given by Maurice Jacque, it's absolutely french. I find it hard to follow him word by word though in all, I understand what he means. He usually wants us to explain some particular words, in french, but all I could do is to find something similiar from english. I just can't talk in french! This is too bad.
Deux
Maurice est un grand homme.
He's really strong, physically. One thing maybe indicates a little french of him is he forms a small tail with his hair.
In the morning today, we should have begun classes around 9 am. But Maurice was about 20 mins late. He explained that the lock on his door was broken and he didn't find out until he was to leave. So he spoke to those security stuff but nobody understood him. Pauvre Maurice! Naturally, he extended today's class by 25 mins to make up for the lost time.
Trois
On n'elle aime pas.
There's this around 21-year-old girl in the french class. Her voice is loud and clear. She's not afraid of asking questions, no matter smart or stupid, and she doesn't care if it's in the middle of the class. After a few attempts to break the fluency of the class, which she succeeded anyway, she annoyed some of the fellow students. For me, she's too eager to know the answer to the question that pops up in her mind. In some cases, Miss Zou had just finished explaining something difficult thoroughly, this girl asked the same question right the way. She seemed to be too devoted in making notes that she hadn't heard any of the teacher's words. I can't say I'm annoyed but I think that was impolite, pausing the class just to answer your questions, and sometimes, stupid quesions. She should've left those to after-class.
Then in Maurice's second class, when Maurice was talking about voyelles and consonnes or something like that, she demanded Maurice to teach something more difficult. She thought what we were learning was too easy and we shoudn't waste time in those because there were so many lessons following. Another one or two agreed with her. Maurice asked us to vote whether we should go faster. I was neutral. She said in a even louder tone to make other agree with her. Maurice then said seriously, "I want everybody's opinion, not your opinion!" I wasn't sure about the '!' but it was the loudest tone Maurice had used. Finally, she couldn't get her way.
The next morning, I came back to the classroom, found this "教室是大家的教室，老师是大家的老师。请某位同学自重，否则，面斥不雅。" on the blackboard. It was cruel! Other students were also surprised. My deskmate told me it was written by a 'teacher'. I couldn't figure out whom she meant. There she came. No expressions on her face. She went out for water, then came back, picked up a piece of chalk, and wrote "每个人都有表达意见的权利。当面不说，背后议论，毛主席说是小人。" It became a drama. The peak of emotion had come and gone. After that, there were much less questions from her during class. Later, I've discovered that she came to class by an old bicycle that resembles my grandpa's.

What's wrong with being gay?

Gay
1 homosexual
2 happy and full of fun; light-hearted; cheerful
3 [attrib] careless; thoughtless

Recently I've read this post from Afterelton then I started to watch some gay-themed films. Last night my mum found out I was watching Beautiful Thing then she told me not to watch 'this kind of thing' in a weird tone. She despised it clearly. That's her, the most conservative person I know.
I don't see gay a problem. They are just different. The tagline of Brokeback Mountain tells the truth-love is a force of nature. I should say I feel the love between gay people is more tender, exquisite and smooth. It's a beautiful thing indeed. How come so many people think it's sick? Please stop doing this. Everyone deserves to love and to be love, equally.

My Future

I struggled. I fought.
I wanted to be a doctor. I see learning to be a doctor a great challenge to myself. But no one in my family supported this idea. They thought I was idealistic and would soon lose interest. And they tried to talk me out of it by describing poor working conditions and painful faces of patients. Frankly I didn't consider that much. I just wanted to get an M.D. and then throw myself into volunteering work, to help people who need help. How can that be difficult?
I gave up.
After all the work my father had done, I still couldn't be admitted by the university I desired. Then my dream collapsed. I would never be able to achieve that. I gave in to reality. I comfort myself that to be an actuary is also challenging and I could earn great money from this career. My whole family seemed happy and content, they even thought my failure to pursue medicine is destined. I was extremely desperate but I can only tell them to fuck off in my mind. What a coward I am!
I must
earn a lot of money. Then take some time off to pursue medicine. Then move to Ireland and build a seaside glass house. Nothing could stop me.

About Meeting Old Mates

Distance. I've foreseen this problem and I've felt it. I cannot say it's strong but it exists. Time brings it between me and the others. I just can't be like before. I honestly don't know what to say. Maybe I love to isolate myself. I'm cool with not being a big talker. Don't know if this is natural but I guess it is, at least for me. Some of them noticed that I'm different, quite beyond their expectation I guess. But I thought changes were good things. How can someone not change after all these years? In all, I felt like going further and further away from my past. I always run away from my past. There's always something I don't want to remember or think about. I need to go to a place where no one knows me. Run away. That's what I do. Does it make me a coward?

The Greatest Match Ever

Yesterday around 8.30 pm, I was already sitting on the sofa waiting for the Wimbledon men's final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. I hoped Nadal could win to stop Federer's winning streak on grass and take away the trophy Federer had possessed for the last five years.

---

Wimbledon has a new king. Rafael Nadal dethroned Roger Federer after a five-year reign by winning the longest-ever Wimbledon men's final.

The consistently heartstopping 6-4, 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-7 (8-10), 9-7 classic began at 2.35pm and thanks to a couple of breaks for rain (surely necessary for the spectators to catch their breath), it ended at 9.15pm with the 22-year-old from Mallorca dropping to the ground with his arms outstretched in celebration.

Watching the four hours and 48 minutes on-court action, from the vantage point of the royal box, was Centre Court legend Bjorn Borg. Nadal had matched the Swede's fantastic feat of winning the Grand Slams of Roland Garros and Wimbledon back-to-back and had also prevented Federer surpassing the five titles in a row he collected between 1976 and 1980.

Conditions for the latest duel between tennis's two finest players could not have been more demanding. The rain, which delayed the start for 27 minutes, eventually cleared but the chill, gusting wind which accompanied it persisted throughout the match, blowing winning shots off course and making life even more difficult for the two competitors. That they coped so well spoke volumes for their skill and adaptability.



With the five-time champion looking less than his authoritative best, it was Nadal who struck the first heavy blow, capitalising on successive Federer errors to break for a 2-1 lead.

From the start Nadal concentrated his battering-ram attack on the Federer backhand, aiming every serve and looping forehand in that direction and it kept the champion in an unaccustomed position - on the back foot. Federer prospered more when he switched to net-rushing but he could not block Nadal's inexorable advance towards the first set.

The Spaniard managed to fight off a break point to stay 3-1 ahead and he needed to avert two more as he served for the set, which he clinched on his third set point after 48 minutes, courtesy of another brace of ground stroke errors from Federer.

It was the first set Federer had dropped since the final of the French Open, when he was routed by the same Nadal.

Federer's counter-attack was immediate and it rushed him into a three-game lead which he extended to an apparently commanding 4-1 with his sixth and seventh aces, only for the irrepressible Nadal to bounce back with some thrilling, all-action stuff.

To Federer's visible anger, his serve was broken as a stretched volley flew out of play and Nadal pulled level at 4-4 as Federer squandered yet another break point.

Now Nadal was in full, thrilling flow, breaking Federer again to lead 5-4 with another huge forehand and celebrating with pumped fists. As he was serving for the second set, Nadal received a warning from umpire Pascal Maria of France for taking too long between serves.

Clearly unsettled by the timing of that censure, the Spaniard permitted Federer another break point on a wind-caused error, but in typical fashion dug deep and clinched the set when Federer once more mistimed a backhand into the netting. So, having swept five games, Nadal was in the driving set, two sets ahead.

Nadal's authority suffered a scare in the third game of the third set when he slipped in making a sudden change of direction and called in the trainer to check on his right knee. No time-out was requested by Nadal, though his speed around court appeared to be affected for a while.

He was at full stretch in the next game, fighting off two Federer break points and, as dark clouds began to mass over Centre Court, the champion went flat out to recover a set and get back into the match. But four more break points went begging as Nadal held for 3-3 before wasting three break points of his own which would have put him 4-3 ahead and perfectly positioned to win.

Instead, with Federer leading 5-4, the expected downpour set in and play was held up for one hour 20 minutes. On the resumption it was Federer who dominated when a tie-break was needed to resolve the set, hammering four aces to take it by seven points to five.

The fourth set did not contain a single break point for either man and when the second tie-break of the match arrived it was a sensation, with Nadal first leading by five points to two and then reaching, and missing, two Championship points before Federer levelled at two sets all when a Nadal backhand error left him the winner by 10 points to eight.

Another downpour drove the players off court for half an hour with the score at 2-2 in the final set and when they returned the light was fading. But the spirit of both finalists burned bright as they hammered the ball at each other just as eagerly as they had done when this marathon first began.

At 3-4 Nadal saved a break point which would have left Federer serving for the title. At 6-6 Federer saved a couple of break points. Finally, in the gloom, the Spaniard broke to lead 8-7 when Federer struck a forehand too long.

So Nadal served for the match again, getting to his third Championship point only for Federer to hit an incredible backhand service return. Deuce once again, but Nadal moved to his fourth match point with a big serve and, with the crowd going wild, Federer finally cracked, dumping a forehand in the net.

It was late, very late, but not too late for the coronation of a new king to begin.

Mini Biography

Christopher Eccleston trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama and first came to public attention as Derek Bentley in Let Him Have It (1991). However, it was a regular role in the TV series "Cracker" (1993) that made him a recognizable figure in the UK. He appeared in the low-budget thriller Shallow Grave (1995) and in the same year won the part of Nicky Hutchinson in the epic BBC drama serial "Our Friends in the North" (1996). It was the transmission of the latter series on BBC Two that really made him into a household name in the UK.

In his film career he has starred as a leading man alongside a number of major actresses, such as Renée Zellweger in A Price Above Rubies (1998), Cate Blanchett in Elizabeth (1998), and Cameron Diaz and Jordana Brewster in The Invisible Circus (2001), and Nicole Kidman in "The Others".

In addition to his successful film career, he has continued to work in his favourite medium, appearing in some of the most challenging and thought-provoking British television dramas of recent years. These have included "Clocking Off" (2000) and Flesh and Blood (2002) (TV) for the BBC and Hillsborough (1996) (TV), the Iago character in a modern adaptation of Shakespeare's "Othello", and the religious epic The Second Coming (2003) (TV), playing Steve Baxter, the son of God.

His stage career, while not as extensive as his screen credits, has nevertheless shown him to be a formidable actor. He's given intense, focused performances in such plays as "Hamlet", "Electricity" and "Miss Julie", for which he received excellent reviews.

A very highly regarded actor, Eccleston has twice been nominated in the Best Actor category at the BAFTA Television Awards, the UK's premiere TV awards ceremony. His first nomination came in 1997 for "Our Friends in the North". Although he didn't win those awards, he did, however, triumph in the Best Actor categories at the 1997 Broadcasting Press Guild Awards and the Royal Television Society Awards, winning for "Our Friends in the North". He won the RTS Best Actor award for a second time in 2003, this time for his performance in "Flesh and Blood". In 2005 he received the Most Popular Actor award in the National Television Awards for Doctor Who.

Personal Quotes

I wasn't always such a great fan of Shakespeare, mind you. I can guess we all at one time had it rammed down our necks at school, which tends to take the edge off it.

A year later, and I'm average again.

Any horror element is as much psychological as special effects.

Culturally we've always felt it important to express the life of the country, and working class comes into that.

I came out of school in '79 when unemployment was really starting to bite, went back and redid my O-levels, there was a play going on and I was corralled into it.

I care more about telly because it made me an actor and there's a much more immediate response to TV. You can address the political or cultural fabric of your country.

I'm different from the other Doctors in that I'm northern. All the others spoke with this RP accent [received pronunciation] - maybe it was that that put me off. I think that it's good that we teach kids that people who speak like that can be heroic. (On starring in "Doctor Who" (2005))

My bony face is like a car crash. I haven't got good looks, just weird looks, enough to frighten the fiercest monster.

Where Are They Now

(March 2004) As of March 20, 2004, officially announced as the newest actor to play the classic television character "Doctor Who" for the 2005 BBC revival of the series.

Silent tribute

Today, at 14:28 in the school stadium, I stood in silent tribute along with all the staff and students for 3 minutes.
Our head master sobbed during his speech on the disastrous earthquake happened in Sichuan Province a week ago, when he spoke of the children there not being able to fulfill their dreams of getting quality education. He also expressed gratitude to everyone who cares and helps the suffering people in Sichuan. The donation of our school's staff reached 20,000 yuan, not including a donation of 50,000 yuan from a student's parents which arrived today.
On my way back home, the bus tv was reporting the updates on the rescue work. I was particularly moved by a young doctor. All of his family members were taken by the earthquake when they were on vacation. But the doctor take no time mourning for the death, instead he came to Sichuan from Guangdong to join the rescue work and has already saved 27 people, 3 times as many as his dead family members. During the interview, his was surprisingly calm and professional and I thought this is the kind of person I want to be, professional volunteers.
The sudden earthquake brought the people of China the strongest will to survive and the warmest help of all kinds.

Screwed

today i found out

• i'm a most autistic aquarius.

• i forgot to bring my money for donation so ended up being question 'are you the only one in our class who didn't donate money for the disastrous sichuan earthquake?'

• my parents will never support the idea of me travelling with my friends without supervision.

Voices from the Mavericks

2008 Playoffs first round after Game 3 victory vs.Hornets

“I’m waiting for the series to really get going,” Mavs coach Avery Johnson said, “and hopefully keep improving for our guys.”

“The energy was great in the building for us,” said Nowitzki, who scored a game-high 32. “The fans got us hyped early.”

“Our defense was a lot better. We were scrambling, going after loose balls and once we got the rebound, [Jason] Kidd was off to the races.”

“We weren’t going to come out of the locker room and shoot five jump shots,” Johnson said of the team’s aggressiveness.

John Terry: We Can Match Anybody On Our Day

after Chelsea go level with Man Utd at the top of the table with a victory against the Red Devils at Stamford Bridge, 26th Apr. 2008

"We needed to win. I said in my programme notes that a win was an absolute must today," declared Terry after the game.

"We've got the win, with two great goals from Bally [Michael Ballack]."

"We got a free-kick from Didier [Drogba] on the edge of the half-way line. We should have killed the game and put it long as we did most of the game to Didier," said a rueful Terry. "We rushed the free-kick, which shouldn't be done. We should have killed it off then."

"I think you've seen today, clearly, it's in all our minds, we want to win the Premiership and take it away from Man United," he said.

"We've got the advantage today - we've beaten them at home - we've not lost at home in a long time.

"We've shown people today. All season long we've had to put up with 'Chelsea can't play as well as Man United or Arsenal', I think we showed people today we can match anybody on our day."

Chet Winter, Goal.com

All that is needed is FAITH

Under almost desperate circumstances, the Dallas Mavericks and the players of Chelsea have won vital victories.
After watching these two games, I realized when you have the ability and courage, faith helps you to achieve your goal. I believe it's the same when taking exams.

自主招生

Sun Jan 13, 2008

这么烦的东西在父母的威逼利诱下我竟然参加了。
连班主任都鄙视我报中大自主招生。
但我还是去了笔试、面试，搞得我一个周末不得安宁。
笔试时监考的2个人比较严肃而搞笑。
面试真是很奇怪。首先要等半天，别的组的都花费比较一致的时间，我在的那一组出奇地快。我战战兢兢地进去，坐下，自我介绍、答问题，我想考官可以看得出我丝毫没有作准备。我支支吾吾说不出话来，心想肯定衰到贴地了。我尽量认真作答，可令我感到最不舒服的是，在我讲话的时候考官也喜欢互相交流议论，不知道是否所有的考官都这样，还是我太敏感了，我觉得自己似乎没有得到足够的尊重。

Virgin Territory----Funniest film of 2007

Virgin Territory is crap, yet the funniest crap I've ever seen. Hayden and Mischa must have been out of their minds to act in this film, and they did it the most terrible way which earns them a great deal of criticism. And of course, poor Matthew Rhys was in it, but he wasn't awkward, he was just pure fun. Matthew Rhys, Tim Roth and the guy playing the 'priest' handled their parts very well, presenting the story as it should be-a crazy funny one. The following lines were the beginning of my laughter during the film:
Gerbino[Tim Roth] and his men chased down Count Dzerzhinsky[Matthew Rhys]. Gerbino sent one of his men to kill Count Dzerzhinsky with a sword. As the man was approaching Count Dzerzhinsky, he was shot by Count Dzerzhinsky and dead. Then Gerbino said to his men,
"What's that? You see that? Fantastic! I want that! Get me that!" Then his men rushed to Count Dzerzhinsky.
Then I realized, gun was an advanced weapon at that time.
