Final Round



I always feel nervous after hearing " Final round" when I play fighting games because it can judge me whether win the game or not. Similarly, final exams just the final round in our program. If I fail in the final, I will lose half of the course. We just finished the writing exam, which is the most difficult one. I mean, for me. However, I think I did not so bad as I thought. The topic I chose was to describe advantages of one kind of energy and I wrote nuclear power because basically I knew how it works. After the exam, I found nuclear energy is not only a kind of useful power nowadays, but also a good friend of many EAP 3 students cuz I noticed that most of students who chose this topic wrote about nuclear energy. In addition, none of them feel bad about writing but they thought they did a pretty good job. Yeah, glad to hear that.

Well, I think because of approaching the final, everybody's skills, which include both physical and mental, have been suddenly improved. Not far before the final, we had a wonderful party. We had food, fruit and all kinds of stuff. We kept talking and eating for hours. At.T first, I thought the food were too much to eat; on contrary, the food almost gone after the party because some people ate really fast and too much. Scott was a good example. When I was extremely full, he was still looking for something good to eat. LOL!

Anyways, exams haven't been finished and we shouldn't be relaxed. More challenge are still waiting for us.

Get Shocked


I got shocked yesterday. The shock was from my room-mate. I came back home after working and turned on my computer. Then Alex, who is one of my room-mate messaged me through MSN and told me he wouldn't be home tonight. I asked why. He said he would stay up and work on his dissertation whole night. I couldn't believe it at first because he always work in front of his computer nine out of ten times I saw him. Now, he became even harder than before. What he told me was he had to finish his paper in order that he could get extra time to revise it. Today, I arrived home after school and thought he must be sleeping. However, no body at home. When I was wondering, door was open. It was Alex and he looked tired---he kept studying a night and a day! I said with smile "Oh! You works really hard!" But he seemed very serious and said that at least I don't have exams. If you don't work harder than me, you gonna fail in the university.
To be honest, this words let me think for a while. I admit that I am not a hard-working student because the atmosphere made me feel kind of relaxed. We both in the same university. Although we are not in the same faulty and the same level, we have to face to the final of the semester. Compared to him, I didn't push myself in the final exam. What I need to do is try my best, both in the final exam and in the future. Whether pass this level or not is totally another story.

Successful Universities


Last couple of weeks, while I was walking in the university, I was thinking about a question. Looking at students from all over the world, I wondered why they come to here and study? Generally speaking, every year millions of students come to study in North America. Like Chinese international students, which take the highest percentage of them, have to pay huge tuition fees but they still choose to leave their own country. Why? I think the reason is not just the job crunch in China, but the problem is educational system.

Educational system sounds really common; however, it contains lots of things. I checked Li kai fu's blog, who used to be the vice-president of Microsoft, and found some edification from it. A successful university just like a private company, everything needs to be judged by itself. Things like tutors, courses have to be adjusted with the situations of the university. Some universities are controlled by governments so for example, they have to wait for funds from the governments. In contrast, a private school get money from foundation so that they have more freedom. Because of this, these universities can improve very fast and it is why private universes, especially in the US achieve a great success. In addition, these universities may try some different ways to improve. Some of them are crazy, like the MIT(Massachusetts Institute of Technology) has spent about a hundred million dolloars in order to share 2000 courses on the Internet for free. Although the university has lost huge profit, it is good way for them to try distance education and become the best university of engineering. Compared to them, Chinese universities are far behind so there in no doubt that students come to here and study.

Hitman, between game and movie.


I have been waiting for the movie "Hitman" for a long time, and finally I watched it because I am a super fans of this game. This game is developed by a company called IO in Denmark and it has 4 series so far. I remembered when I first played this game, I couldn't admire more about the great idea of the game: you acted as a hitman who named 47 to assassinate certain people for money. In addition, I have convinced my father to play this game and he really got into it. After several years later, it has become a movie, which was wonderful news for me. However, finishing the movie, I felt a little frustrated.

Although the movie was about Hitman, the scenarist just like created a new story based on the game. I totally could not find any connection between the movie and the game. Also, the actor who acted the 47 was not what I expected. Probably the one in the game has impressed me a lot but I won't say I satisfied with the movie. The actor was a little bit young so he looks not that mature except his stony expression.Furthermore, to my surprise, the agent 47 always stayed with a woman in the movie, which has completely destroyed the image of 47 in the game.

Well, I think it does not happens occasionally because if people really love a novel or a game, after they become a movie, every single change will make people uncomfortable so I don't wanna complain anymore and what should I do is go back to the game and enjoy myself haha.

This year is much better


It was snowing. Just several hours ago, nothing happened. But after I finished working and came out of the Market Mall, I was shocked by the scene in front of me---heavy snow. The first reaction that came to my mind was not how beautiful it was. However, at that spot, I realized I haven't wore anything!! Gloves, hats, thick clothes...nothing! So, surely, I had to suffer from the snow. It was true that I didn't stop sneezing and shivering until I arrived home.
Well, definitely, this year is much better than last year. I mean the weather. If you notice that, it was the first , standard and " official" snow of this year. The last month's snow was quite small that just like a joke. Compared to last year, today's snow was late. I was wondering these days because I could still wear thin clothes in November. This time of last year, it was minus thirty! Especially for me, it was extremely crazy and impressed me a lot because I used to wait for a bus for about forty minutes at this kind of temperature! But anyways, this is my second time to spend winter time in Canada so that I have enough experience to survive from the cold weather that could make people dead!

My Computer SUX


My computer really sucks mainly because its graphic card and memory. I didn't recognized they could become a big problem after I just bought; however, I was always baffled by them. For example, if I run more than three programs, my computer will lag, which made me feel uncomfortable. This problem is caused by memory , for it only has 1GB. If I want to download something, I had better leave my computer away, or some programs will not response so that I have to restart my computer.
The day before yesterday, I reinstalled my computer and I changed my operating system from XP to Vista. Well, definitely, the interface of the Vista looks cool, but this system takes about 7G that I found my computer became slower. Sometime it even got stuck when I was checking my E-mail. It's terrible.
Also, the graphic card is disadvange. If I use my laptop for study, it is totally enough. If I use it for playing games, the troubles will be coming. I remembered that I download 5 games but I could only play 2 of them becasue my graphic card could not support them. In addition, I cannot update these hardware because this is a brand computer. For me , a person who has played PC Games for nine years, it is the sadest thing.
But one thing that I almost forget is my laptop only costs 700 dollars. Haha. Not everything is bad.

Watch SAW IV

Today Mark and I, as well as some other our friends went to the Chinook centre to watch movie SAW IV. Actually I don't like horror movies at all but I was convinced by Mark this time probably because I thought it was a good way to relax at the end of this week by watching a movie.

Due to it was the first time that SAW IV was showed to audience today, there were large amount of people there and before the movie started, no seat was available in the theatre. Although I have never seen other series that precede SAW IV so that it always made me confused, the scene of the movie was awesome, which was extremely violence and bloody. During the time of watching the movie, it was easy to see people get killed by cruel way. In addition, people easily get shocked by watching splash of blood. I remembered some description of this movie: "
Brutal Violence, Gory Scenes, Disturbing Content" Well, it is true. When I left the theatre, I saw some girls was still sitting on their seats with clothes covered on their bodies and felt scared. I highly recommend you to watch this movie if you get bored; however, you had better think twice whether you can stand the scene of the movie!!

My room mates




As I have moved to a new apartment, I have two room mate to live with and both of them are taking the master in U of C. I have mentioned before that they are really nice and we usually chat each other during the free time. what I wanna say is they all have their own habbits, which are quite obvious and funny. One is name Alex, whose major is Computer Science. We had already bcome friends before I moved to here. He is a really tough guy because I can see he is busy with his dissertation almost everyday. He gets up early as well, about 8 o'clock in the morning whatever it's weekday or weekend. He hardly has time to have fun; however, he is crazy about chatting though the Internet. He often open MSN, Skype and QQ and chat with more than 5 people at the same time lol. But his tpying is really fast. Last a couple of weeks, I bought a new Mircosoft keyboard and it's awesome; however, Alex used it most of the time because he thought using my keyboard for chatting was comforable, so I had to lend it to him and I could use nothing.So sad.

Another room mate is named Vince. He is a biology student and he has graduated from Beijing University, which is a top university is China; however, he seems do not study very hard because biology courses are not tense, but Alex always tell him that it is hard to find a job for biology students :) Vince has a strong habit, which is singing songs. Every time, I could hear
voice of his songs from his room. One day, his voice was extremely aloud and it was hard to understand what he was singing about. Finally, I figured out he was singing a Japanese song!!
While he doesn't like chatting at all. Although he has MSN, he never open it..

Anyway, I love living with my room mates and they give me lots of happy time so far.

Bad time to join the University



Today after the meeting with Mr. Lee, Mark, Eric, Megan, Theresa and I started to talking about our future. Well actually we got started to worrying about our future studies because all of us have met problem of choosing courses, for the time we would join the University is Winter but not fall. As we know, the new courses begin in Fall, and if we take courses in Winter, that means we must have missed some classes so that we gonna fail because of lack of knowledge. If we choose to give up and take new courses in Fall next year, that means we have to wait about 8 months!!! Therefore, we feel heritage a lot.

Take me as an example, my faculty is Engineering, and because the first year is called general,
so I have to study exact 5 courses each semester and these courses will be chosen by our faculty
staff other than myself, so everything just like a chain that well organized and could not be separated apart. After checking all the first year courses of Engineering, I will miss( have already missed) Design and communication and all the Mathematics courses which inlcudes
infinitesimal calculus and Linear Algebra. I have learned a lot about science subjects so that I know the class will be extemely hard if people are short of fundmental knowledge. Although I am very interested in Mathematics and Physics, but make up for the knowledge of 4 months is almost impossible.

Now I deciede to ask my faculty advisors for help in order to make sure whether the winter courses are related to the Fall courses or not. If they do, how much pressure I have to take if I choose study in Winter. I have to think before leap because I would choose to wait rather than fail!!!

Fight against the MasterCard



I really wanna a Master Card, but my wish just like a dream that hardly come true. First of all, I tell you my bank is BMO.

Actually I have applied it six weeks ago but the bank just keep delaying the process. At first, I went to my bank and ask the service people if I can apply a Master Card. They said absolutely no problem and gave a application to fill. After that, they told me your card will be sent to you three weeks later. WOW! That's so easy!! However, things were not going so well as I thought because there was no mail sent to me after three weeks, so I went back to the bank and asked them what happened----the result drove me crazy: they have made a mistake so that I have to apply again. But they kept saying sorry and promised me I can get the card for sure if I could wait another three weeks. So I totally have no method but wait; however, I still haven't received my card after another three weeks. OMG! I rushed to the bank and asked them angrily. They dialed the BMO service number and then told me my card has already been sent! I said are u kidding me. I received nothing! They said only one thing we can do now is to block the card and ask for a new card---it would take five business days.....
After my room-mates knew about it, they tried to comfort me. My room-mates were super nice and they gave me three options to choose. First, go to my bank with a chopper and force them to give me the card. I said no way. I can go any where with a chopper except banks otherwise I will be considered as a bank rubber. Then, they told me to change the bank. I said probably not because everything was well organized and I have to do something like open saving account if I had changed my bank. Finally, they said:" Well, Allen, you have enough reason to suicide...."
By the time I felt extremely terrible, one thing made me really balanced: Mark told me he has applied the Master Card as well in the same bank, but he has been waiting for three months without any results...

I totally have no feeling!!!


I don't know what happened on me because I have totally lost my feeling. What I mean is I don't wanna do anything, which includes playing games and listening to music, so not even study. The new term has been started two weeks and I clearly know all the projects are arranged tensely; however, it makes me even worse and it blocks my confidence. Now, basically, I am just and writing my blog while I am thinking about the reasons. Well, probably is work cuz I worked a lot

and I feel my body wants to collapse,but it just physcial condition. Then I think I am really under pressure cuz I have many things to handle. On the other hand, I found my homies who have similar situation as me never feel moody... They called me again and again and wanted to

hook up! Godish!! I think I have to brace up and to be reflesh! If this kind of condition continues,

I will lose everything... In people's life, there are many obstacles that may makes us feel bad and we need to overcome them anyway. Compared to them, my situation now is really easy; therefore, no excuse that I can find to stop my steps and now it is not the end of the world!


Cheers!

Horrible Memory...


Oh my Godish, the new semester finally get started and everything goes to the right route... I have been crazy since four months ago, which included last semester and long vocation.
Probably you think the vocation is awesome cuz bascially we don't have any classes. But for me, is terrible. I clearly remembered my holiday was filled up with working and my new working schedule started at the next day of my final exam!! I had to work like five days a week and sometimes I have worked 12 hrs a day... Well I did earn much money but I would rather choose to stay at homeeeee. In addition, my body clock has been ruined. Sometimes I had to give up to eat breakfast while sometimes is super. So bad...
Although it has been a long time between the two semester, I was subconsciously brought to the last term, which is EAPP 2. The three-month study just like a half year. I was my first time to study in the leap program and I was shocked, for most of the projects were so hard for me. Probably I didn't get used to it at that time, but I really met a lot of hard time during the class; furthermore, the last semester just like a battle, not only time was limited for every project, also after end of this semester, we have lost many brothers and sisters----The leap is pretty dangerous...
Well, everything is not that bad though.. I have moved to a new apartment and it is quite cheap.Also, I got a new ipod MP3 player, which is really cool. In the new class, I met some new friends..haha
The pic is my desk, it's messy,eh??

I really miss my language school !!

As you know, I just started studying in the EAP Program this term, yet I have studied in a small language school called Ubridge College for over a half years and the field of study is TOEFL. Although I studied TOEFL there, the teacher did not always concentrate on it; however, I learned a lot of basic English, which especially improved my spoken English and reading. Ourteacher was so nice that I could even bugging with her sometimes, I found I learned a lot during these interesting conversations. The class time was from 9:30 A.M to 3:30 P.M and I have to eat lunch at school. Also the life seemed so weird to me, but it was my first school life in Canada and I enjoy it definitely. The study project was not so busy compared to our EAP Program; still I learned many new knowledge such as read newspaper everyday and do presentation every week.
The school was established by Taiwanese people, so I met lots of Taiwanese friends there, as well as some Korean, they were very nice and I did not lose torch with some of them. Yesterday, I chatted with one of my Korean friends who just arrived in Korea. We missed each other so much and I hope I can pay a visit to him in Seoul one day. Anyway, the life I spent in the school left me unforgettable expression and I will remember it forever.

WCG 2007




WCG, which is short for World Cyber Games, is the world wide game competition match. Since the E-sports became very popular nowadays, lots of matches were held, lots of clubs were established; just as other sports such as soccer and basketball, E-sports can be a member of sports family and have both matches and players, while the WCG is the biggest one and it started in the year of 2001, which is held in Seoul, Korea. At first, it was not accepted by people because they had misconception of games; however, with the time moved on, the E-sports became an essential element for many people's lives.

The WCG is held annually and this year, 2007 it will be held in Seattle, the USA. Now people are voting what games will be placed in the match of this time. Of couse Warcraft, Starcraft and Counterstrike can be chosen for sure, but it is quite fair that every game has an opportunity to get into the match. If it is possible, the FIFA 07 could be replaced by the NBA Live 07. Anyway, I hope China will have a wonderful performance in this time, also I have confidence that either SKY or FLY can be the champion in the Warcraft.

A busy month....

Holly~~ This month---July, is so busy for me that I almost can not handle it...I really cannot understand why everything comes to this month together!! Play tricks with me ???
Let me summarize them: Whole bunch of assignment + Final + Renew the study permit + Finding a new apartment + three days working per week + Deal with complex relationship with my friends + Cooking everyday + No Internet at home!!!
All the things above are needed to be done in only 20 days!!
Suddenly I remembered a classic words: If the God wanna destroy a person, the God must drive him/her crazy first; HOWEVER, I had been crazy for a long time and why the God did not destroy me ????

Free Breakfast

This morning, I and my roommate Alex went to the U of C and had a free breakfast. The location is near the Engineering block and it lasted from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The reason for the free meal is obvious if you pay attention to the news recently.
Jiacheng lee, who is the richest person in Asia, has donated 3 million CA dollars to the University of Calgary, actually the money went to the school of Engineering. So naturally, people who belong to this faculty need to treat everyone because of it. I don't know whether it is necessary; however, it is reasonable and at least in China people usually follow this rule. In any case, I had a free breakfast today, which has lots of fun because many people around there. We had beautiful music, people's laughing and of course, delicious food. Most important, I felt the future is bright due to the donation on the Engineering field. The chances are better than before, so what has been left is study hard.

I met Déjà Vu today


Due to the attending lecture tomorrow, I went to the classroom first in order to know the location. The lecture I will attend is an Engineering class because it is my major in the future. As soon as I arrived at Engineering Block, I found everything was so familiar to me, yet I was 100 percent sure that it was my first time to visit this building. Afterwards, I tried to find the the right class room which lies at the third floor. By the time I was walking on the steps, I felt surprised!! It was just like happened before and hard to remember the date. Then I got the classroom-----Oh my GOD!!! Exactly the same, I was quite sure that I underwent it and I checked some details such as the color of the door, also some other items near the classroom,
same, same but really cannot remember when it happened,so weird!! On the way I was back home, I still thought about it but no result. Perhaps it was Déjà Vu.
I heard Déjà Vu long time before; however, I did not believe it, for the statement is fake. Now I do! I found this phenomenon is based on a certain theory. I think everyone, because of our age, has met Déjà Vu, so do not feel strange next time, just for fun...

"Remember the name"


I love listening to music, especially the type of Hip-hop. I think the main reason is that my voice is horrible when I am singing a song, while if the content of music is only lyrics without music but with strong rhythm, I can do pretty well, so I used to perform some hip-hop songs in my class.
These days, I listened a hip-hop song from Fort Minor named "Remember the name". It is not a new song and probably you guys have already heard that during the NBA game; however, what I wanna say is I feel this song is really significant for different situations. Some words are quite forgetable.
"It's just ten percent luck,Twenty percent skill,Fifteen percent concentrated power of will,Five percent pleasure,Fifty percent pain,And a hundred percent reason to remember the name!"
These words in the song has a very simple meaning, which is let listeners remember Fort Minor, yet, they has been considered in different meanings: The NBA is one example. Also, some people think it is a way that access to success, while some people think it is a way of calculating diligent. I remembered at the end of last year that the PLU WARCRAFT 3 was held in Beijing.
The theme song of the march is "remember the name", which gave a surprise. After watching the MV, I found it was reasonable and the song just fit the match. I really love this song and I appreciate the singing skills of Fort Minor.

I Hate Chinese Education System



If you are a Chinese student, you probably know that The University Entrance Examination has just finished. It is a big exam which judges students whether they can go to university and it is one of the important events in students' lives. Yesterday I chatted with my friend in China who had taken this exam for the second time. Probably because he has the same family name and from the same province as me, we get along very well with each other. He told me his result---failed again! He felt so disappointed and I felt so sad as well. I knew he was under great pressure last year because the exam is held annually, which means students have to wait one year more if they need to take it. I tried my best to consoled him but he still cried. A guy, cried, helpless...
Chinese Education System is like this, The University Entrance Examination is the only way that access to universities. They all concentrate your final mark, which takes 100%!!! If candidates feel nervous, sick or anything that not necessarily happened, they will fail it no matter how good they did before, Stupid! What a stupid exam! It makes the exam very significant and scared. I remember when I was a high school student in China, I could only get one and half days off after 2 -week study and 4 days off in summer break. Everyday I have to sit on my chair for over 9 hours in order to prepare the exam. The questions in the exam are very hard so that it can distinguish students into different levels, but some questions are nonsense, I mean students will never use them if they go to university or work. The only function is make the exam harder! All the students who finish high school will become exam's slave, no active and passion. Can you imagine they can get use to the society by having this ability?
I chatted with him till mid night and he felt better at last. One of his words that I can never forget: " I wish I could try again, but the time won't give me any permission."

Lots of people, die! die!

During the time after we finished our exam, my Taiwanese friend Chirs asked me to go to his home, which the time had been booked several days ago. After we had dinner in Chinatown, we
went to his home but this time was kinda special because he let me to watch a scared movie with him.WTF! I hate that. I really hate this kind of movie, which doesn't make any sense except you feel exciting and hard to sleep at night. While he forced me watch it and told me this movie is so
classic that I cannot miss it. I had no method and had to watch it even though it was 12 o'clock.
The name of the movie called "The Dawn of Dead". Although it was an old movie, it was classic.
I was so surprised I was kind of enjoying the movie after half was gone. Furthermore, Chirs just got into the movie, which made me appreciate him. He always regard him as a character in the movie who met trouble. he thought if he met the same problem, what could he do in the situation. WOW, he was crazy. I guessed how many year had he been watching the scared movie!! In any case, we had a good time on that day.
One thing I forgot to say: I love the theme song of this movie. So passion! One lyric said " Lots of people, die! die!" Cool!!

I failed the first day

Well, everyone knows what happened today during the mid term examination. At beginning, after Joy's question, I did not hear clearly and I misunderstood the writing exam would last till 4:18 or something. Definitely, that's what I heard! However, the real finishing time was 4 o'clock and I found it was hard to finish it on time. Right, I did not finish and I was asked to hand it in. Yes, I have to, I was so sorry that I wrote a little more. If I need to be taken off some mark because of it, go ahead! Then, something confused me: a student was still writing the article and was not stopped. First I thought the student had already handed in and did something else but it became clear when the door was shutted: the student was still in the room...
In any case, it has passed. Actually what I should complain is not anyone else, but myself. If everybody had handed their works in on time, my mark would not be changed. So I think I should learn something from it. That is improve my English especially writing. Why most students could finish it and I could not? I do not wanna say something about fair and only know the reality that they finished writing; therefore, I need to get rid of moody and ready for the exam tomorrow, which is the most important thing I have to mention to!

EAPP VS TOEFL


As everyone knows, before studying at U of C, you need to fulfill the English requirement and the two ways you can do is either TOEFL or EAPP. I have taken both of them so I wanna compare to each other.
A. Difficulty: The TOEFL is a pure English test, which includes Reading, Listening, Speaking and Writing. It is very difficult definitely and sometimes even for the English speakers without any training. The new TOEFL ibT has been added speaking part, which is more challenging
for us. Some of them are even too academic such as archeology or biology. Reading is not easy as well, approximately 20 min for 13 exercises.
EAPP, I will never say it's easy, somehow I feel harder in some impacts. It depends on which we you regard them. If you only compare English level, TOEFL is more crazy.
B. Time: Easy to compare. Use me as an example---two terms need to be done, so the whole time is about 6 months. TOEFL: 4 hours.
C. Fees: Still easy to compare. Two terms means 8,000 dollars and it does not include textbooks. TOEFL: range from 170 to 250 US dollar.
D.Function: TOEFL, even you can pass it, still not helpful. As I mentioned before, it is a pure English test, which only prove you have a good English skill, but you may still fail at the university. The reason is you haven't had enough training for academic purpose, especially writing. EAPP is the way you can learn English systematically and it helps you get use to studying at university.
Some people may think that I would rather choose TOEFL because it is really convenient. Well,
if your English is perfect, I will 100 percent recommend you take the TOEFL; however, if it does not apply to you, you'd better give it up after trial. I knew a person, which a teacher told me about him when I took the TOEFL test, he has been taking the test for 7 years and still no success. Also sometimes you saw people passed the TOEFL in one or two times and it seems lovely,but do you know how much hard work he/she had behind it?
Definitely, I have no right to compare the two programs because I am also a loser in the test. Indeed, what I want to express is to show everyone that neither of them is simple. They all need efforts and sweat in order to achieve success.

The VOA News


I guess Lots of you have already known the VOA---Voice of America,it exists long before I was born;However it is really helpful.Probably you feel the VOA is as common as another news website.Well,not really.You may search some new there,yet the most important is this the very place for you to practise your English.
First of all,it provides 44 different languages,which almost covers all the languages in the world.Also,some pieces of news are published with report,it means you do the listening while you are reading.All the reports there are perfect
American accent,which is a good voice to follow.While,if you like British one,do not listen it.-.-May be some of you will consider the speed of the report is too fast too catch.Don't worry,they have a area called “Special English",which is slower than normal one.It is wonderful to English learners!The place where promote your
English reading,listening and speaking,as well as going over the news lately.WOW,don't be hesitate,try it now.
I remembered I used to be crazy about the VOA for a span.When I was in China,I with one of my friends go to play ground almost every early morning.We take an old radio and turn the voice to max.Cause there is a few people around,so we are free to speak English loudly.That was cool!At that time we can only use radio to listen the VOA program,but it's enough.Anyway my English improved.
The address is Http://www.VOANEWS.com. I recommend everybody to come here!

My first BLOG

It is really confuse me,coz the blog from this website is not actually the first one.I remembered a few years ago,I've no idea what the blog is.So one of my best friends took a long
time to teach me about it.(I know little about computer as well -_-0).From the very basic info to adding media,from creating a new profile to having links.Any way,I had my own blog at last.But you know what,nothing I wrote on it TILL NOW.I know I'm so lazy,while the main reason is that I don't know on which spot I should start with.One thing may be comfort me :I still remember my user name and password...
Well,now I made up my mind,to write blog in English,which is a wonderful practise,eh?
Both for promoting my writting skill and exchange ideas with friends. Tell the truth,sometimes
I'm worried about how to invite my friends from my own country?Possibly They will refuse to viewing it.h However,I am here Canada,a English speaking country and people use English mostly,so it is not big deal I guess.
This is my first blog which I wrote in the U of C.My home's network doesn't work:6 Damn!
Welcome to my blog though it is quite simple.I will try my best to make it better.Also I really wanna meet some new friends who have the same interest as me.Thx!
