November 26 Beautiful day!I'm back after half of a year as a married lady. Nov. 6, 2009 was our big day at Hongqiao with sunshining and friend-gathering. Thank my bridesmaid Cystal(Yinying) and Rachel(Luo), my hubby's bestmen, Jeremy(My multimedia man) and Quan哥 for their hard work and genuine love and support. Thank my students who prepared me a well-designed gift. Esp. thank my mother who prepared me all the beautiful dresses on that day. Thank my father, my supervisor and my beloved who respectively gave a fantastic speech on my wedding, which made my day so special. Thank 花嫁喜铺 for giving a beautiful wedding day. Today is thanksgiving. I would like to thank everybody who gave me love and support unconditionally no matter what. April 20 To commemorate the very first Speech Day ever in SISUAfter one month of revising nearly 37 speeches in all, we finally have the Speech Day tomorrow. After the Obama lecture, I'm more motivated to devote myself to APS. For that, I will take the plunge no matter what. Thank my 37 babies who would like to do the same with me. I believe one day very soon in the future, when we look back, we'll smile. Anyway, the very first Speech Day in SISU will be commemorated... To be continued. January 01 The time differenceDec. 31, so many of my friends are sending me messages or write something on their blogs to celebrate the last day of 2008 or reminisce the whole past year. Now it's Jan. 1, 2009,beijing time. Happy new year to all my friends and beloved ones back home. Even I'm still in Dec. 31, 2008, CST, my computer is always in Beijing time. So this morning, I got up early enough to call my mom and dad since usually the three of us are always together during those special moments. Yesterday, I finally got my own book by EMS. Big thanks to my publisher who spent more than 400RMB to deliver them. When I actually open the book(Music to our ears: unforgettable songs of the 20th century), it feels wierd. It feels like touching your new-born baby for the first time (even I never did that). It feels good, or even grrrrreat! I gave it to my roommate for her birthday present and she's very happy. The other day I went to Prof. Lucas's house, for the first time I went to my idol's house. I can't even believe it. For a long period of time I was reading his book, commicating with those great ideas in words. It's interesting for most of the time, I felt like what I say can't fully express what I mean when I'm in a conversation with him. Somehow some of us are usually living in different time but the time difference can never isolate those shared minds which deeply touch our soul, like love, hope, joy and respect towards life.
Just something to note at the end of 2008. More to expect in 2009... December 19 East, west, home is the best!West coast is a bit different to me. First it's warm, but not as warm as I imagined. Second, LA has so many Chinese, which makes speaking Manderine (and sometimes Cantonese) feel ease at home. Then it's really a big rocky place. That means you can't go anywhere without a car. Last but not least, Hollywood is really something there which makes film shooting almost an everyday activity. Of course, stars are everywhere just like those in the sky. But as a big city girl, I feel myself more attracted to NYC than LA, but it never hurts to go have a look and travel around in the west. Vegas is a night city cuz in the daytime it just looks "stupid" if you know what I mean. But there's this grand Grand Canyon there which is just breathtaking. I love it . There's always a lot to talk about man & nature in the state. The respect for mother nature is not something people talk about but something in their blood. That's somthing I like. San Fran. is an interesting city with hills everywhere. The Lombra street is the typical example to show it's not so easy to live on the hill, climbing on which is just killing me. But the Union Square is just like Nanjing Rd., except it got some top-notch Amereican shopping malls like Barneys, Bloomingdales, Nordstroms and Macy's. That's the real disneyland for me. (Hope those retailers can stand the test of economic recess here or everywhere.)
After going east and west coast in the state, I'm at the end of this semester, preparing for what I've got to do in the near future. Even I like them both very much but to me, Home is still the best. I'm coming back home before the spring festival. Can't wait to see my beloved friends and families.... |
