    I am crazy?

    “You must be crazy, ”, said my classmate, “You spend so much time eating snack while leaving your homework undone, which is due at 12:00 tonight!”.

    Yes, I’m crazy. I ran back home two days before the project of software engineering practice should be hand in. I spent a whole day playing games before I took the DB2 700 test. And I didn’t even go to our lab while all the other people are striving for the APIS project…

    But what makes difference if I didn’t do that? I work hard in my campus and find a good job and earn a lot of money and live a luxurious life. And what’s the next? Is it able to change the fact that I spent just 1 month with my parents? And the fact that my grandpa didn’t even catch a sight of me when he passed away? And that I disappoint all my old friends just because I have no time to say hello to them?

    People nowadays care too much about their work and achievements. There is no “spare time” for them to do other things, even for the children.

    I’m crazy, because it seems that I choose the opposite direction to the others. I choose to enjoy myself without thinking of the heavy study load. But I like crazy, which gives me the true meaning of life.

    Title: I'v no ideA

    Not updating my space for a long time again.

    Tristi said that she would leave her footprints every day in her space. She eats her own words, obviously, and so do I.

    I wanna persist in it, but I really can’t. There is so many things I have to worry about. I keep doing my work without any time too write down something. And when I have, I’m too tired to keep my eyes staring at the screen.

    I went back home last weekend, staying two days with my parents, grandma, and my lovely niece. That’s the happiest days I’ve spent in this month. I enjoyed the ephemeral but treasurable blessedness with my family and thrown all my study and work away, without thinking of the homework which must be handed in before Saturday.

    I was astonished when I opened Bonney’s space. She added all the archives she wrote offline these days. And I was thinking that she’s as lazy as me when I open it yesterday!

    Ok, no more. There’s a exam tomorrow. And may myself succeed.

    Brand New Start

    June 13th
    The same day in the last month, I was on the bus home.
    Grandpa has been dead for a month, and it's time for me to let everything unhappy go and, to "start my new life".
    I changed my background music because, That's a song too sad.
    I changed the subtitle of my space, because, Grandpa has became the history, like the seasons have all gone. It dosen't mean that I will not think of my granpa forever. Just, I think, Maybe I should put him in my heart, not the space.
    We failed in the local final of Imagine Cup, but it really means nothing to me. We are still so young. There are still too years for us to striving for our dream. What we should do is just treasuring the failure and looking for a brand new start.

    First Archive In Beijing

    This is the second day in Beijing.
    We even didn't have a chance to go out,  with no chance to have a glance at the wonderful places. There are still too much work we need to do, with our dream.
    We will fight for our glory this afternoon, and it will be the one-month-commemoration of my granpa three days later. So, bless my granpa and hope for the blessing of him.

    DECISION

    We've been invited to the final of Imagine Cup China, top 7 of China.
    Thinking about the days we gave up all the courses and fought our way to implement the project, I was grantified by our achievements. That's really a rough decesion -- to implement our imagination in only three weeks. That means we should give up all our courses and other activities, I don't wanna give up my project, but I don't wanna give my study,too. If we choose our project, The possible failure of the project will also declare the failure of our study. That's what my grandpa do not want to see.
    But now, We did it! And we are gonna fight for the first place in Beking,June 10th.
    We have no way knowing what lays ahead for us in the future. All we can do is, use the information at hand to make the best decision possible.

    One Week

    It has been one week since my grandpa passed away.

    Gandpa went away, without anthing to leave, and without anything to bring with.

    I searched my computer several times, but cannot find any vedio or audio of Grandpa, just photos. I keep thinking of my grandpa these days. Because I am scared, scared that I will forget Grandpa, scared that I will forget his voice, scared that I can't do anything to commemorate him. Everything changes, but I don't wanna see the changes of the place of Grandpa in my heart.

     Happy life in Heaven, Grandpa.

    Just Like Heaven

    Just Like Heaven

                  For my grandpa  

    The same title.

    I have never expected to use it again, but maybe it is the best commemoration for my grandpa, my only grandpa who went to the heaven on May 13, 2006.

    Grandpa has gone, so quietly, without any words to us. He was healthy, strong, and always smiling, even the day before he went away. He broke his leg three months ago, but he recovered soon. He could walk without crutch when I went back home on April 30, but he had no chance to walk out and have a look at the wonderful world…

    Grandpa loves me so much, and he is always the first person who calls me when I go back to school from home. He kept all my school report cards, and show them to me every time I went back home. But God brought him away so hastily, when grandpa was expecting my card for this term…

    I wonder whether the heaven really exists. But my grandpa, I believe, must have gone to the most beautiful world, just like heaven.

    There is a lute tree in my garden. Every time I go back home from school, It’s not the time to eat lute, either too early or too late. This time I went home at the appropriate time, but the taste was not the taste I expected…

    Just Like Heaven

    Just Like Heaven, the name of a film produced by DREAMWORKS.
    I'm so pleasantly surprised to find a film which can touch my string so deeply.
    A lonely landscape architect (David Abbott) falls for the spirit of beautiful woman (Elizabeth Masterson), just like heaven, like the dream.
    What touched my heart is not the love between them, though, but the more profound meaning behind their love.
    What are we living for? This is a old but ever-presented question. For work? Elizabeth is such a woman. All the thing she cares is her work, without any entertainment, even love. After  she had a crash, her spirit came out from her body, and met her love - David.
    When you drop your work and care more about your family and friends, you may gain more.

    Friends While Young

    Another busy day.
     
    Though I was tired, I didn't wanna sleep at all. Maybe I was TOO tired.
     
    While lying in the bed after 24:00, I thought a lot, occasionally a familiar name came into my mind. Yes, I knew her. A friend I had known since childhood. But I didn't know whether I should describe her as my "friend". It's a long time I haven't been in touch with her.
     
    We've known each other since we were 5 or 6 and always played together while young. Our MUMs werer good friends, too. We had a wonderful childhood together, but I was sorry that the childhood couldn't be once again.
    That's my life, many friends  became bygones because of my careless about them, and because the heavy loads of my growing. 
     
    New friends every day
    But old friends...

    The Furthest Distance In The World

    The Furthest Distance In The World
     
    BY Tagore
     
    The furthest distance in the world
    is not between life and death
    but when I stand in front of you
    yet you don't know that 
    I love you 

    The furthest distance in the world
    is not when I stand in front of you
    yet you can't see my love
    but when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
    yet cannot be togehter

    The furthest distance in the world
    is not being apart while being in love
    but when plainly can not resist the yearning
    yet pretending
    you have never been in my heart 

    The furthest distance in the world
    but using one's indifferent heart
    to dig an uncrossable river
    for the one who loves you

    A LONG TIME

    Keivin said that I haven't updated my blog for a long time. That's because, for one thing, there were to many things to be finished in the last week. And for another, I had no idea about what to write. By the way, I don't think one week is a very long time .
    Last night I have a long but wonderful talk with my roommates. We talked a lot, from study to love. And this morning many guys in other dorms complained about our chat because they didn't have a nice sleeping. Oh, I'm so sorry about thatv, but we should have a talk. We haven't done that for about half a year. And That is, I think, a really long time.

    The Spring Passing By

    Haven't been out for a long time.
    Because of numerous complicated and time-costing projects, I nearly crouched by my computer from dawn to dusk. No time for going out.
    There's no work  remaining to do in our computer lab, So I went out for my supper.  Occasionally, I find that all trees turns green and lovely flowers are everywhere. Immediately I perceived, that, it has been spring for a long time, but I didn't become aware of it at all!
    The spring elapsed while I was still in winter.
    I have never thought of wasting my time yet, and I work hard for my dream, but time do elapse silently, just as if I was wasting time, why?
    Working too hard just means wasting time, right? Because You've missed other things which may be more important than your work, right?
    Maybe.
    So, no matter how important your work is, Don't forget that there are still a lot of things which worth dropping your work.

    Be High With Failure

    Everyone failed a lot of times, Although you may not remember.
    You got down when you firstly learn to walk.
    You were almost drowned when the first time you tried to swim.
    you kicked nothing when you swung the bat in your first baseball game.
    ...
    Everyone failed, so what are you afraid of?
    Failure is just the result, not all the thing you've done.
    The thing worths most is the process when you try.
    In which you may be happy and learn a lot.
    Afraid of failing again?
    No, don't be silly,another failure is just another experience.
    When you get down to try the next time,
    you can be more confident with yourself.
    ...
    So, if you failed 1000 times.
    Remember, just try the 1001st. time!

    Seasons In the Sun,Do You Know the BackGround?

     

    When I heard this song for the first time,  I was deeply touched by the beautiful cantus. the scene firstly came into my mind is a countryside full with brightness and happiness. But with the time going on, what I perceived is not the happiness, but a bit of sorrow.

    How many people know the background? Now I'll tell you about it. It's a true story about  a dying man. When you finish reading this story, you touch touch the true meaning of this song, and will find the true beauty.

C is the closest and most trusted friend of A, and they become good friends when very young. Both of them fell in love with the pretty girl B. A was a handsome boy and active in the school, while C was shy and frank. Afrerward A and B fell in love with each other, leaving C alone. C knew their true love and bless them silently.

    As time went by, A and B got married. And later they had their baby, and later A went out for work, and later B must keep the whole family, and later C came to help B with her housework frequently, and later...

    In course of time, A found the secret. One was the people he loved, and one was his most trusted friend. He was very irritated and he kill them both...

    Seasons In the Sun

    SEASONS IN THE SUN
    BY Terry Jacks
    Goodbye to you my trusted friend
    We've known each other since we were nine or ten
    Together we've climbed hills and trees
    Learned of love and abc skinned our hearts and skinned our knees
    Goodbye my friends it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    Pretty girls are every where
    Think of me and I'll be there
    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    but the hills that we climb were just seasons out of time

    Goodbye papa please pray for me
    I was the black sheep of the family
    You tried to teach me right from wrong
    Too much wine and too much song,wonder how i got along
    Goodbye papa it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    Little children everywhere
    When you see them I'll be there

    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song were the seasons have all gone
    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone

    Goodbye Michelle my little one
    You gave me love and helped me find the sun
    and Every time that I was down
    You would always come around and get my feet back on the ground

    Goodbye Michelle it's hard to die
    When all the birds are singing in the sky
    Now that the spring is in the air
    Lovely flowers every where
    I wish that we could both be there

    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    but the hills that we climb were just seasons out of time
    We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun
    But the wine and the song like the seasons have all gone
    All I lives We had fun we had seasons in the sun
    but the hills that we climb were just seasons out of time

    Beautiful Love [Mar. 18 2006 from snoopycat]

    I read a book last night, a pure love story. No, Maybe I should not call it a “Love Story”, because it was true (may be).

    It was so common a story that few people will notice it: no fluctuation, no parole. Just an ordinary love between two ordinary people. The ending is famous – but what I felt was something, though, woeful. Not for them, for me.

    I am always feeling bad when I finish watch or reading a story, no matter a happy ending or not. If it has a sorrow ending, I feel sorry about them. But when it comes to a happy one, I also feel sorry because I think it was a so perfect one which I won’t come up with in the real world. I am longing for beautiful love, but God has never blessed me.

    After finished reading the book, I suddenly found that I was wrong. Beautiful loves DO exist in the world, and everyone should have, but there is one thing you have to do – to believe it.

    Yes, believe its existence. You may see there is a lot of beautiful loves in the books and you may think they are not true. But they do exist -- they are true loves. The difference is, the writer loves the girl and is contended with their love but you don’t.

    So, when you really falling in love with a girl, you must think it beautiful, though it was a ordinary love story in other’s mind.

    My First REAL Oral English Class [Mar. 16 2006 from snoopycat]

    My First REAL Oral English Class in Nanjing University.
    Why did I say that?
    That's because, this is the first time a American Teacher teaches us English! Joseph, a Wyoming humour man at his 60's. I have never seen such a humour foreign man that can make all of us laugh so happyly(Actually, he is the first American I have met... ).
    Joseph introduced us a lot of interesting things and sights in his hometown and, he tought us some idioms. The most interesting thing in the class was the song he tought us. His singing voice was so terrible that the whole class break out to laugh!
    There is no perfect man in the world. Anyway, I like this guy.
