Extremely Terrible~~

Today,I went to Chinatown to buy food for next week.I forgot to bring my gloves.So I just put my hands into my pockets.It's okay.After I lifed two big bags of vegetables and went out of that grocery store,my hands felt hot, as it was hot inside the store.However,only 2 mins after,terrible things happened,I suddenly felt that my fingers were freezing at a high speed.Then I began to run to the C-Train station.But once I started to run,I felt even more terrible.After I arrived the station,I quickly dropped things on the ground and put my hands into the pockets.My fingers were like freezing sticks,no feeling at all.What's worse,They couldn't move any more.The train came within 5 mins,but 5 mins was a torture for me that time.I quickly entered the train , picked a seat ramdomly,dropped things down,rapidly found a place where hot air came out,and then,I put my two hands onto the heater.1 mins later,I felt a little bit that my fingers could move slightly.2 mins later,my fingers were all warm,but,I felt a terrible pain in each of my fingers.I was very paniced that time.I paniced abt whether my fingers were out of use forever,I paniced abt whether I can do things like usual, or even I can't do anything any more.I was so paniced.But abt 10 mins later,it was much better,I could hardly feel pain in my fingers.Thank goodness!!Now I'll always remember that in winter I must wear gloves,esp. in Canada, whose winter is cold enough to make you die!!!It's extremely terrible, it's dangerous!!!!

As a man to face problems~

“No one is perfect in this world” even the excellent Idol. I absolutely agree with it. For instance, I read a short story which talks a person, Tom Cruise who is an outstanding Hollywood movie star and an idol of most young people. He has a big problem, dyslexia which is a disturbance of the ability to read. I cannot imagine how a person who has dyslexia could become an actor, let alone a famous movie star. We know that actors first have to read movie scripts and remember all conversations from scripts. Second, they need to know a lot of background for the scripts they read. Researching points out that people get 75% of their information from reading, and only 25% from listening and conversation. A person who cannot read is almost like a disabled person, but Tom Cruise bravely faces his problem until he overcomes it. He learns his movie scripts by listening to tapes, not by reading them, and spends much time to grasp it. Finally he has success. Many think that successful people are some geniuses in their field certainly. In fact, everyone has the problems that he or she needs to face and overcome. For me, I have faced the most difficult language barrier in my lifetime. Especially the pronunciation drives me in predicament. I try to face it bravely, never dodge it. It is unbelievable when I give up anything to face the only problem with me, but I still cannot conquer it. What do I should do for it? As Tom Cruise as a man still face the problem even though must face it forever.

FrIeNdShIp


What is a true friendship ?Friends are so so important to me , and i believe friends are also very essential to you .Yes , who know what will we be without friend ? But what make a true friend?To me , friendship is sharing , human loving and enjoying . Friends not only share passions but also happiness and sadness in life. Friend is supporting other to get over every effort in life , always beside you even you are not in a same place.It is quite difficult to have a really true friend , but i believe that everybody will have someone that absolutely know them and be friends for good.I myself strongly believe that I am a lucky person in relationship with friends. I had a best friend -Rui , who have been my friend for 6 years . To Rui , I can trust her on everything . When we were in secondary school , we argued so much ; I could not image why we argued that much but we still have been together till now. Before I came here , we had not had much time to go out because she had to work hard on her studying on the University exam.She is studying in a University in China and plan to go to Australia for the last 2 years of Uni. It was a bad news for me :D because Aus and Canada have different study schedule ; so ,it will be difficult for us to back to China at the same time :).Anyway , It will be the future , and who knows ? a magic will happen ?:P Rui is a mature thinking "lady" :">and a really inner strong girl. We are both naughty and funny , but she did teach me much about living strongly and support me about everything. I remember my hard time in highschool , when I had problems in my relationship , she was the only one that I could share my sadness with . From then , she became more and more inportant to me. And now , she is not my friend anymore ,because , to me , she is more than a friends , a family , a sister who always shouts at me when I do something wrong :O , who can stay up late to wait for my phone call back , just to make sure that I am Ok.We promised to be together , forever.I also have some other close friends like :Zin - the hottest girl in this world =).I am just kidding keke;Tommy, who just left China to New Zealand , is my first friend when I was 3 years old;I wish you all have beautiful friendship and a best friend who will stand by you in your whole life !

Best friend came and visited me!


This weekend my best friend sandy came from Albert and visited me. I was so happy.....Sandy and me used to be high school classmates. We had been roommates for 3 years! So I have a very good relationship with her. When I was in high school, I always rapped with her. She helped me keeping my secret and solving my problems. We are very good friend. Since we graduated from high school, there are one and half year we did not see each other. I miss her so much. Last week, she told me that she will come and visit me, I was so excited. She came with her boyfriend. This was my first time see her boy. That is a good guy. They arrived in afternoon, I treated her in a Korean restaurant. We enjoyed the delicious food and talked a lot! We had a wonderful dinner time! The next day, we went shopping in Chinook Mall. We all got a lot of stuff. We also watched a movie---Saw 4. Sandy and I both like scared movie. When we in high school, we always watch scared moive together in the mid-night. How much that I wish time can go back to my 17 years old......Anyway, I have to keep going. I have to work hard in order to achieve my dream. So, good luck to me and my dear sandy~~~~

Fight!

Today, I am so happy because I bought the ticket and I could go back to China this holiday. Yah!!!!!!Last night, I talked with my mum on-line. Actually, we miss each other so much. When I told her that I was going to have a long holiday after I finished this term, she said she wanted me to go back to China during this holiday. I was excited to hear that. I agreed her directly. Then, my mum told my dad and my dad also agreed. I was so happy because I am going to see my dad and mum soon. So did my mum. Actually, before I go back to China, I have to finish my final exam at the end of this term. It is only four weeks left. For mid term, I was not done well, so I hope this time I can do well. I understand that this level is not easy to pass. So I am going to study very hard in these four weeks. Fight!!!

BeLiEve~~~


The first day of long weekend. I went shopping with my friends. Walking along stores, There are many familiar faces from one person smiling to me. Santa Clause! Yes, the chrimas is coming...I suddenly remember the essay I wrote which is a about the exist of Santa Claus. At first I didn't know how to write it because I didn't know whether there was a Santa Claus. What's more, in China we have no Chrismas. When I looked through the internet and tried to find some information about Santa Claus, there was a letter noticed my eyes. A young girl asked a newspaper editor whether there's a Santa Claus. The editor told her he lives and lives forever, as long as you believe. It moved me a lot. I suddenly felt it was happy to believe the exist of Santa Claus. After that I saw a movie called "polar express", and it was one of the most favorite movie I have seen. (I love animation movies, for it is full of imagination.) It made me suddenly started to believe the exist of Santa Claus! Once in my oral English class, my foreign teacher talked about the belief of fairy. He firstly asked my opinion. I said "no", because I had no reasons believe. Then, he asked one of my classmates, she said "Yes. It was said once a person said 'I don't believe the exist of fairy', a fairy would be dead because of what he said." After I heard that I changed my mind immediately.Maybe all of us should have some belief. Believe God, Santa Claus, fairy, or you can also believe your parents, siblings, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband,wife...... Sometimes they can give you a sense of belonging.

That was terrible!


I read a chinese newspaper that was publiced in Toronto. A report made me very angry. It said that some bad people wanted to burned the picture of charman Mao in TianAnMen which was the centre of Beijing, but the police prevented them in time. However, the bottom of the picture nevertheless was smoked. When I heard this news, I could not image it. I did not understand who would do this and why. I hope that the picture would be fixed immediately. Another bad news~~~~some people from Tanwan said something were really rude to China. I want to say: I hate those people sooooooooooooo much. They were disowming their motherland!!!!!! Whatever those people think (they are chinese or "taiwanese") Their action was terrible! You can not ignore what kind of language you speak and what kind of lineage you have. Like a Chinese idiom says: Chidren can never disown their mother. ~~~I do not know what I wnat to say, but I am sure that every chinese must have the same feeling like me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After Midterm~~~


I have got results of my mid-term exams. If I am optimistic, I will say that I am lucky. At least I passed all my exams...If I am negative, I probably say sadly that my marks are so low that I just can pass the exams....Whatever, mid-term has past, and I heart Scott talked about final exams taday. My god, can you believe the final exams are coming????It is ture. Maybe we won't worried about it in this week. But in next two weeks, it is really necessary to think about the final exams. We just have 13 weeks in this term, and now half of our term has gone...T T I know what i should do in the left half- term. Studying hard! Even though I can not improve a lot in six weeks, I can be better than the last half -term. I hope that marks in the following essay will be higher and higher, even just 1 point higher, that is a kind of progress. Constant dropping wears away a stone. Hopefully, in this way, I can really improve my English....
Screwed up!!

I wAnT a PeT......


I visited my friend Maria today. This was my first time see her "daughter"-Miaomiao. She is a short-hair cat. Cute and active I liked her so much and played with her all the time. Maria said "angrily"---You are not visit me Joy! you come here for my cat......That was sure~~~I have heart Maria waffled on for a long time about how cute and smart her cat is. Since she showed her cat'pictures for us proudly, I could not wait to see her dear baby. Maria was right. she has a good cat. She let me desire a pet badly....

I like animals. Whatever dogs, cats, rats. birds, or worms...I like every life which let me feel active...I did condider about having a pet. But for many subjective,objective,important,little reasons. I did not buy any pet. I had have 4 chicklings, one rabbit and two dogs in my childrenhood. But I lost each of them sadly. If you want to hear the stories about how I lost my each pet. I will tell one day long with one gallon tears....Now, I totaly understand that take care of a pet need responsbilities and a lot of patient. Once people decide to get a pet, they choose a partner in their life. A pet is one of many things in your life. But you are everything for her/his life.

Maybe I will have a pet in the furture. Anyway, I will love my pet and give her/his all the love I can give.....

Even Thanksgiving has already passed almost one week, I still want to write something to memorize a wonderful time I spent with my Canadian family. ^-^


Ken' family used to be my homestay when I been here in first 4 months. I love kind, patient Ken and his wift Lita. And I love their baby girl - Catherine so so so much! They helped me a lot and gave me a lot. As a international student who live far away from homeland, I felt the warmth of family living with them. In the short 4 months, I have already become a member of this family. We enjoyed dinner together, talking about something interesting after super, sitting at floor and playing poker with a lot of fun. Ken helped me on my homework everynight. brought me to see horsejumping. I love Catherine, I helped Lita looking after her after school, played with her and bathed her before go to bed. At that time, she was just a 7-month-old baby. And I seemed as if I was her big sister... ...All of those memory is so sweet and warm... ...


At Thanksgiving day, I visited Ken'family agina. I haven't been here for about two months, so I missed them so much. they gave warmest greet and offered me very good food. And I really enjoy the turkey, I ate a lot! Of course, I brought some food that I cooked by myself- ribs and a kind of chinese salad. Therefore, the Thanksing dinner became a Canadian-Chinese dinner. That was really good. After dinner, we talked a lot about my study and current life. Ken said my English improved very much. I was so happy to hear that~~~: P Baby seemed forget me, at first she even did not look at me, but after a little while, we played together happily with her toys. Baby is 2years old now, she can just say few words. That wa funny that she call me,

herdad allthepeople " mom" . Even I did not finish my dinner, she came and said "mom" while pulling me to play with her....Oh I love her so deeply! Thanks god gave us such a good time stay together. I hope I can see them again soon....

AtTendInG LeCtURe~~


I attended a lecture last week. In the lecture, the professor, Peter Slezak, dealt with the topic-World Regional Geography. At the beginning of class, He reviewed two basic frameworks for studying geography with students. The two basic frameworks were systematic approach and regional approach. He spent about twenty minutes on reviewing and gave lots of specific examples for these two frameworks. He reminded students this part will in midterm exam. Then, he gave definition of a Region and talked about common regional concepts with students. He guided students to consider the difference between the physical factors shaping Realms and the regions and cultural factors shaping realms and regions. The professor gave definitions and some specific examples about the two factors. Immediately after, He also talked about the Characteristics of Underdevelopment and development. He also introduced the Chief Obstacles to Development with specific examples. During this class, he showed students the geography knowledge in different countries. He discussed the General Characteristics of Europe, the Physical Geography of Peninsula of Asia, the historical geography of Mesopotamia and Egypt and the general characteristics of Russia
The professor was very humorous. His words always let his student laugh. His humor let his students studied actively in this class. He lectured to students clearly and effectively. There were about 150 students in this class, I found that most of the students in this class paid attention to the professor and they took notes very seriously. The learning atmosphere was perfect. I sat closed to professor. I found he liked look at students’ eyes and tried to attract everyone in his class by eye contact. He liked to ask questions about the knowledge which is beyond books. Students thought hard as if these questions were hard to answer. However, the professor was patient and guided them to think step by step until students got the answer. I could see that his students respect him very much. They followed their professor seriously and answered his question actively. Even though class was over, some students remained in classroom asked questions draw round the professor.
I felt very confident when I attend lecture in this term. I interest in geography very much. Before I attend this class, I thought it is must very interesting for me. Actually, I found this lecture was not as easy as I thought. However, I really enjoyed it. I did my best to follow the professor and I found take notes was so hard that I had to write at a gallop. But I felt happy because I could understand most of it by the notes. The profession was rich in geography knowledge. He has enough teaching experience and he knew how to let student pay attention to him. In this class, I could feel the learning process by professor’s excellent lecture. This was a really good experience. It will be a memorable class in my life.

I want to improve my Engliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish~~~~


Last weekend, I asked Corey who works in Dining Centre to help me checking my first major essay. We spent about fifty minutes talked about how to improve English. Corey is an international student who is successful in studying English. Actually, it was the first time that I asked someone to check my essay so I was afraid and nervous that he would laugh at my mistakes. At the beginning, we discussed on grammar. He easily found my weak point is using different tenses. He told me that I had to pay attention to these tenses, especially verb tense. He suggested me do more practice to improve my grammar. Also, he recommended me to use more academic words in my essay to make my essay looked more professional. I asked him if he has any good advice could help me to improve my vocabulary. He said I could increase my vocabulary by reading. That was a helpful way he used before. He mentioned there are some campus newspapers very good for me to read. And I can also borrow good reading books from library. We discussed on another topic was about how could I improve my spoken English. He told me one thing to improve my spoken English is speak English with others as much as possible. especially with native speakers. On another hand, I should read something in English loudly everyday. Being honest, he said when he studied in the University of Calgary in the first year, he had the exactly same problems on his English study. He understood my situation and he was willing to help me any time on my English study. How lucky I was! We had a good conversation. I appreciated his help. I learned a lot of study skills from his experience. I could see Corey’s English is really good. At the same time, I knew my English is improved a lot in this year. I will regard him as my model. Work hard on my English. In addition, Speaking Journal is a good way to improve my English. In the last year, I have learnt a lot from doing Speaking Journal. I will keep working on it, and I believe I can achieve even greater successes in my English study.

PoPuLar~~


Every girl dreams to be a popular girl. Girls always hope that they will have a lot of friends and be loved by everyone. How to be a popular girl? As a girl, I have some subjective ideas about it. I would like to share them with you. First of all, you should be confident. Confidence is the key that makes girls more attractive. You’re your confident smile to others every moments is every important. People will be attracted by your charming smile and simultaneously pay attention to you more. Besides, talking to others courteously and gently is also important. Your confident, soft sounds present to others that you are a girl who is amiable and easy to makes friend. Second is being optimistic. Do not fear difficulties. When you are in trouble, take it easy, try to face it with smile and solve it by yourself. Do not complain every time. Be happy everyday and love your life. A spunky girl is a perfect girl. The last one is also the most important one. It is being a kind and friendly. Be a person who is always patient with others and be willing to help others. Everyone likes make friend with such a person. In conclusion, try to let yourself confident, optimistic and friendly. In everyone’ heart, you will be the most popular girl.

Junk Food!!!


According to an article in the New York Times, these organic snacks and prepared foods are growing increasingly popular. Unfortunately, these new products seem to be more concerned with clever packaging, rather than real health or nutritional value. That's where the greenwashing comes in. Masking a junk food with labels that say "all-natural" or "organic ingredients" doesn't necessarily make them healthy. But the promise of health and natural ingredients might be a big part of their appeal. Certainly, it's how they are marketed to us.
How does green washing look to the unsuspecting public? Here are some common traits:
· Potato chips have the same fat and calorie counts as regular chips, but they come in earthy-looking brown bags, rather than shiny foil bags.
· Happy-looking cartoon cows beam out from packages of string cheese, ice cream, and other dairy products.
· Wheat sheafs and grains are used to sell candy granola bars.

Speak English with Native Speakers~~


During the long weekend, I stayed at home and did my homework with my house owner. My house owner is a native speaker. She helped me on my writing homework- cause/effect essay outlines. We talked about how to write a good cause/effect essay in two different forms-chains and block. At the beginning, we go thought chapter 6 on writing book, which Jeannie recommended us to review. It cost us about twenty minutes. I often met some problems because I did not know how to write cause/effect essay in correct forms. After we finished this chapter, I have understood how to use these two forms and I started to do outline. She helped me and guided me during I did outlines. It was not easy to express what I was thinking about. However, I needed to organize my language before I speak to her. When we finished the two outlines, it was nearly 6:00 p.m. We have studied together nearly fifty minutes. I felt it became more comfortable to speak English with my house owner at the end because she was so kind and patient. I think I should encourage myself to speak English with native speaker as much as possible. It is useful for my speaking. Moreover, speaking journal is a very good way for us to practice our speaking. I like to do it and I believe that I can improve my English by it. I hope that one day I will speak English as well as a native speaker.

Just one week left???


Just one week left?????

I can not believe that. How fast the time passes. We are near by our final exam. Oh, no, I do not want to face final exam so fast. However, Even I want to go back to midterm,I can not change the fact. This term is going to finish.

In this term, we study together,work hard and learnt lot. Chinese has a idiom: TiandaoChoulao. which means that if you work hard, god will favor you and give you largess for your hard work.

We have pay a lot for this term. Now, it is the time for us to ask the largess. But, nobody will give you any gift without reasons. We have to insist on studying and we can get payback of our great jobs!

Therefore, let us study for final exam. I know that everyone will be successful for this term and everyone will get the largess.

Jia you!!!!!!!!

Ho~Ho~Ho~Hot~~


I NeEd AiR cOnDiTiOnEr !!!

Sooooooooooooo Hot today!!! It astonishes me that the summer in calgary is so HOT~~It is 31 degrees today. Staying in my room like staying in the oven. I am the poor turkey.

I miss the felling that 40 degrees outside, I lie in the room which has the air conditioner drinking ice tea and watching TV~~~ How happy I was. But now!!!! I sit in this such hot room, face my laptop, feel the heat from my laptop and miss the cool air from air conditioner.

However, I am lucky I live in a house. I can not believe how hot the apartment is. My friend tell me that everyday she visits her friends who live in the basements of houses and eat her supper there. Because she can not bear the heat in her apartment~~

I do not know how long the hot weather will last. I hope it will past ASAP!!!

What is your favourite restaurant?


Hi guys! Look here~~~I have a question to you guys. Which restaurant do you think is the best in calgary?? In other words, what is your favourite restaurant?

As a international student who lives far away from family, we miss our homeland, especially the local flavour. The only way for us to satisfy a craving for local flavour is looking for a good restaurant and have a big meal. There are lots of reataurant in Calgary. For chinese students, they can find lots of chinese restaurant in chinatown.
I believe you have tried some of restaurant and you have one or two favourite. So, what is your favourite? Could you recommend it to me and introduce your favourite dishes please? We can share these information!

Attending Lecture~~I like the professor~~


Today I attending in a lecture, the professor, Peter Slezak, dealt with the topic World Regional Geography. The professor is very humorous. His words always let his student laugh. His humor let his students to be actively in this class. He lectured to the students clearly and effectively. There were about 150 students in this class, but I found that most of the students in this class paid attention to the professor and they took notes so seriously. I sat closed to professor. I found he liked look at your eyes and tried to attract everyone in his class by eye contact. He likes to ask questions about the knowledge which is beyond books. I know it is hard for his students to answer his question, but he was patient and guided them to think. At last, the students always can get a closed answer. I could saw that his students respect him very much. They followed their professor seriously and answered his question actively. I like this professor, I hope I could meet a professor as peter when I study university courses. I am look forward that.

Heartrending Mark~~



I got a real real terrible mark for my presentation~~I am so sad about it. I think the major reasons are 1. I did not prepare my notes earnestly. 2. I did not review my notes before my presentation. 3. I did not go though it completely with my partner even once. 4. I did not do ppt earnestly 5.6.7.8.9.10.~~~~~~

T0T

The teacher is right. We need do the presentation more professionally. We must use acdemic English instead " you guys" " anyway" ... ...We must pay attention to our behavior during our presentation. By these ways, we can make our presentation more professional and we can get higher marks. Guys, we are together, you know learning language is not terrible, it need enough time and energe. We do not need to complain about something. We all know that we work so hard but the results are not fair for us . However, do not give up please, we can do it. I trust all of you guys are perfect and you can pass all levels.

Stampede

What with the wind and what with the rain, my good mood is ruined. I really hate this kind of weather, so repressive and boring. But I am so lucky because I chose a good day go to the stampede park and enjoy my whole afternoon there. That was a good day, the weather as nice as my mood. My friends and I wear the different style cowboy hats and go to stampede together by city-train. I was excited because this is my first time join the stampede. I was attracted by the colored shops. There are candy shops, cake shops, cafeteria, and even photo studio. The most attractive things are the games and rides. Looked at people go though with an armful of toys which are their trophies, I was hardly wait to play these games and try these rides. When the darkness came on, I was so tired but still excited. I was so happy and left there reluctantly with my trophy—little blue whale. Stampede, see you next year!

The lady, or the tiger?


once read “The Lady, or the Tiger?” for a class, and we were asked to ponder the possibilities. A king’s daughter is caught with her common-class lover, and as punishment he is thrown into an arena with two doors. Behind one door is a lady, and behind the other is a tiger; whichever door he opens is his fate. Meanwhile, the king’s daughter takes steps to find out which door will hide the lady and which will hide the tiger, and on her lover’s fateful day in the arena, she signals to him to choose the door on the right.
Given the background, the character motivations, and the circumstances, how do you think the story ends?
Well, the teacher had each of us write our own ending to the tale, and as indecisive as I was, I couldn’t bear to choose either one. The lady, or the tiger? About half the class picked the first while the other half picked the second, and they all wrote eloquently on the whys and wherefores of the choice they made.
Myself, I was racked with indecision. I didn’t like either ending, and I simply couldn’t justify choosing one over the other. Both endings were too sad, and I was of the mind that a tale that ended sadly was an unsatisfying one. Had I been the king’s daughter, I would have called in sick and avoided the event at the arena altogether.
But that wasn’t part of the assignment. The assignment was to write about what awaited the lover when he opened the door on the right. So I wrote.
In my ending, the door holds neither the lady nor the tiger. In fact, there is nothing and no one at all behind the door. Upon seeing this, the crowd looks accusingly at the king’s daughter, knowing that only she could be behind such sabotage, and with the audience distracted, the lover escapes through the open door and disappears. When his absence is discovered, the people are outraged. They send some men into the arena to go after the lover, all to no avail. Meanwhile, in the confusion of the chase, the king’s daughter also makes her exit. In fact, she and her lover later escape the city and live happily ever after.
The ending was completely atypical in the class, and my teacher loved it. He might have thought that I was thinking outside the box or being completely creative and original, but the truth is that I’m incapable of making a decision, and I will do almost anything to avoid having to make such a tough choice. To this day, I still cannot decide between the lady or the tiger. Every now and then I come back to this story and re-evaluate my response; I try to choose one or the other, and I can’t. I simply can’t.
As the narrator would say, “The question of her decision is one not to be lightly considered, and it is not for me to presume to set myself up as the one person able to answer it. And so I leave it with all of you: Which came out of the opened door,–the lady, or the tiger?”

I love Jack!!!!!


How cool he is! Jack Sparrow, a guy who tells pack of lies, he is full of deceits and he is lech, but he is so smart, so nimble and face danger fearlessly. As the Pirate Lord of the Caribbean Sea, he enjoys the freedom of his occupation, drinking rum and seducing women while looking for supernatural treasures. He engages in much dealing and treachery, preferring to use wits over weapons to survive. Sparrow is introduced as seeking to regain his ship the Black Pearl from his treacherous first mate Hector Barbossa, and spends much of the sequels trying to escape his blood debt to Davy Jones and battling the East India Trading Company. Despite his rude or cowardly behavior, he is nonetheless an honorable and likeable character. I have fell in love with the most catching ptrate in the world!( do not tell my BF, thank u)
Recommend the movie-Pirate of the Caribbean to you guys!!!

CooK CooK~~~


If you ask me what my hobby is, I will think for a while and tell you-Cooking! Yes, I like cooking. I cook everyday for myself. I enjoy it very much. When was very young, I watched my mother during she cooking. I wondered how delicious dishes made by my mother' hands. Few years later, I started to cook and I always cook for my parents. I like working in kitchen and deal with different vegetables and meat. All these staff will become nice dishes by my hands. I really like the feeling. Chinese people value food very much. Food is a kind of culture and has been developed for thousands years. There are lots of famous and delicious dishes cooked by chinese people during chinese food history. Some of them are delicate and complex. Some of them are simple and tasty. If you want to know and learn chinese food culture. I afraid it will cost you at least 20 years. But if you want to try chinese food, welcome to my home. I will offer you the simple, popular and delicious food. The most important is -They are free!!!*^-^*

BeSt WiShEs To YoU


We have not seen Regina for few days, because her little boy was sick . I hope her boy will get better soon and she can come back soon!


Mom called me yesterday and told me a bad news. Aunt Lee, one of father’s friends got a horrible disease-leukemia. Nobody tells her the trust that probably she has only one year left. I am so sorry about this. Aunt Lee is father’s old friend. I remember she gave me many gifts when I was young. I do not understand why people’s destinies are so different. Some of us have health body, but some others always suffer from disease. Some of us have a happy family, but some others lost their kids, parents or other cousins. Some of us can receive education, but some others have no money to go to school…… People always say that people should resign to their fates, but I believe our destiny controlled by ourselves. Face challenges and difficulties, it seems difficult for us to live in this world. However, we are here, we have come and we have seen this world. I hope everything will be fine if we knew if we kept at it
Best wishes to all of you guys! I hope you always health and happy!

Happy Children' day!!!






Oh My Dear Childhood~~~

Sweet Memories



June 1 is the children's day. As a 19-year-old big "girl", I have far away from my childhood. However, I miss the children'days in my childhood so much. It left such much sweet memories for me.



kindergarten~~~Most of my children' days spend in the kindergarten in my childhood. There used to have a girl who is shorter than other kids with two braids and shout loudly in the kindergarten. That was me. Whenever children'day, I usually performed on stage by Singing or dancing. I was willing to perform. It is just because little I could get chocolate and bubble gums from my teacher as the prizes after performance.


Gifts~~~This was the day which iI can get more gifts( except birthday). Dolls, candys, pretty skirts……When I wake up at the morning of this day, I had have been very excited about how many gifts I can get today!



amusement park~~~Papa and mama had no excuse to refuse me to the amusement park on this day. I could enjoy all day in the park and as happy as a little dog. I still remember that every year at children' day, after I played in the park or after school, papa and mama will take me to a eat icecream in a special icecream restaurant. The sweet and colourful icecream will stay in my memory forever!!!



Good bye! my dear childhood. You are the most sweet candy in my memory and I will store in my heart.
