Today is my birthday
Dec 19, 2008 | 4:21 AM PST

    Time flies as an arrow, it's my birthday again. I don't know what I have gotten or done on my last birthday. Perhaps very common as usual. Any way, this birthday is a very common day. If the girl as I mentioned yesterday was my girlfriend now, I may have a good birthday this time. No one, except me remember my birthday. It may look depressed, however, very normal. I don't even remember my parents. I'm sorry. We don't care about it, though I'm sure if anyone say happy birthday to me, I would be very happy. I will get my parents and brother's birthdays, so next time, I can enjoy their happiness.

    I bought beers and peanuts tonight, and enjoying them with my roommate now. I feel drinking suitable quantity of beer is nice, thought it's winter now. And the peanuts are also very nice. I know western people can drink beer without any other things, just take it as soft drink. Hehe, I would like drinking beer while eating peanuts or horsebean.

    Tomorrow is weekend. because of my effort, some workmates will climb a high mountain with me. It's about 572 meters high. Hehe, it may seem low as compared with high mountains. However, it's the third high in this city. I will take my camera. Hope we can have a good day tomorrow.

A big failure
Dec 18, 2008 | 5:30 AM PST

  Well, I met a girl last weekend introduced by one of my relatives. We met each other in a market where her relative ran a shop. Her father also came and chatted with us. She didn't speak much, however, she is beautiful. Hehe, so far the most beautiful one as introduced to me. I tought I didn't have any chance. So when my relative asked for my phone number and gave it to her , I didn't think she would give her number to me. However, to my astonishment, she gave it to me. And her relative told me that they, her and her father satisfied with me. I was very glad and could not sleep well.

  I called her and sent messages later that day and the day after that day. She seemed not very interested in me. I thought it was the skill of girls. Then, the day before yesterday, after refused my two call, she sent a message later, told me that I worked far away from her, so she thought it would be inconvinient which meant she would not go on with me if I didn't work at hometown. It's a hard time for the world economy, my companies bankruptd. Meanwhile, large number of students graduated from the univerisities. So it is hard for me to find a new job in hometown right now. What's more, I have just worked only half a year in my company, which has a potential in development. So I choose to stay here for at least several months. I guess the game is over. Actually, my company is not very far away from my hometown. It took only less than 1 hour by bus via highway. You know my hometown is large, it took more than 1 hour to travel from one side to the other by bus.

 Now, I dwell little on it. I have to prepared for the BEC test and I would like to be alone now.

Bye, hedgehog
Dec 14, 2008 | 6:30 AM PST

  I went home this weekend. You know my family is in the village, though it's next to the city, there are still many lands for growing vegetables. We have a big yard, and some small houses for keeping sundries. There are some hedgehogs living there. My father catch one several weeks ago in winter, I don't know what he wanted to do it. When I found it, I told him, so he said, I catched it. Then he wanted to put it back to the sundries. You know our house is going to be pulled down (not only ours,but the whole village, the government requisitioned the land), and I want to keep some pets, so I took the hedgehog. My father does't know it eats food in winter too. So I feed it some food. 

   Then   in the evening, it crawled in the room. I wondered whether it wanted to see his or her family. So I put it back to the sundries, though I knew it would die in the area. I hope he or she could find family members and survive the winter.

A new visit to villages
Dec 7, 2008 | 6:20 AM PST

Well, I visited village again. The other day, motherbored sent me a letter about god, I don’t know whether some of you have received it ever. What I want to say is that is really amazing. You know this afternoon, when I wanted to go back (since it’s late), I lost the way. I mean I don’t know the new way home. So I asked a farmer, he told me the way to where I live, however, not very clear, so I went on. Then after a few minutes, I found that the nearby village is what I visited last time! Crazy! I wanted to go back as soon as possible, however, I forgot how long it would take if I took that way. I was at a dilemma. At last, I choose the way I took last time. I didn’t know which way is short. However, I found I choose a right way, it was shorter. Is that the arrangement of God?

  Some of the pictures have been uploaded in my “photos”. Since there are too much, I will just talk about some of them. Remember my last visit? The beautiful mountain near the quarry. Do you know the back of the steep? I know now. I went to the back of it. Hehe, I didn’t do it on purpose, just found it by accident. See the lake, it was very clean when I saw it last time. And I found the back of the mountain was made up of abandoned soil. The rock is used to build some buildings. That’s a change. Soil for rock.

 The following pictures were taken near a beauty spot. You see there are many villas, most of them cost more than 300 000 dollars. Only rich people could afford that. The farmers also have good house to live, however, they are very economical. Some “lucky farmer” can get much money from the government when the government took up their land and houses, then they will built the beautiful house.

In the beauty spot, there are two big archaized buildings. This kind of building have a long history, perhaps over one thousand years. I will take some old buildings next time. The real ancient building.

This is acer palmatum. It is winter now, so the leaves are going to fall down. You see the shape of the leave are just look like the foots of chicken, so we called it “Chicken foot maple”. The next one is camellia. Most of you may know it, it’s beautiful, and looks like rose.

By the way, as I remember, motherbored has said that some kind of birds like rose seeds and uploaded some pictures. Well, I also took a picture of the seeds of rosebush. It’s really very big, just as big as my thumb. Could I eat it? Hehe.

On my way home, I took two beautiful pictures. What do you think of it? You see, I came last time, but didn’t take these pictures. So we should visit one place many times in order to find all of its beauty.

I also get some interesting things and put them on my wall. I don’t know its name, but I’m sure many of you may have ever seen it. Looks like hot dog? Hehe.
