The Concert!!!

I went to Avril Lavigne's best damn tour tonight!!!
REAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLYYYYYYYY CCCCRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
On the ticket,
it said the concert would start at 7:00.
I arrived there inside the Saddledome, at floor,
at 7:00.
Soon after I arrived,
the preconcert began.
I tested the environment around me:
Really Good!!
About half an hour later,
Concert began.
Avril jumped out wearing a symbolically classic sexy dress,
singing "girlfriend"!!!
Screaming......................................................................................................................................................
Jumping.........................................................................................................................................................
Waving hands.............................................................................................................................................
Pictures....................................................................................................................................................
I screamed, jumped, waved hands, and took pictures with my tiny Nokia 73.
As I was at floor,
I could see her really clearly!
She is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEXY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The whole concert seemed to be a little bit short,
I love it so much!!!
Reason !: This is the first concert I've ever seen on live, and stand at floor, so close to the stage!!!
Reason 2: Avril Lavigne is my favorite idol!!!
Reason 3: Most of my depress accumulated before, because of constant failure in my essays and term paper, has gone away!!!!!!
I love this concert!!!!
I love this crazy experience!!!!!!

Work. Work ? Work!

I've been here in Calgary for over half a year,
but I haven't got a part-time job here.
Looking at students around me,
nearly all of them have already got a job and been worked for a long time.
They've earned enough money to buy the round-trip tickets back to their hometown,
they've earned enough money for their daily use,
and they've earned enough money to buy cellphones, iPods, or laptops and desktops they want.
However,
I haven't gotten any part-time job.
I've been using my parents' money for over half a year!!
I have to save money!
Whenever I fall in love with a certain commodity,
I really wanna purchase it;
however,
is it badly needed?
If no,
then I just can pretend not knowing its existence.
Conversely, those who've earned money on their own can buy whatever they want as the money is their own property.
I wanna have a job!
But i don't wanna have a job as well.
Having a job, I can buy whatever I want, I can have my own freedom.
Not having a job, study hard, in the future, I may earn times more than right now, I can gain too much more freedom!
Having a part-time job is just a chance for me to communicate with others more than usual.
I cannot earn money this way.
For me as an international student,
it's also a chance to practice my spoken English: Fluency, Grammar, and Pronunciation.
Someone told me that in here students would like to take summer jobs during Spring session and summer session till fall session begins.
Maybe I can do it as well,
but i just don't know whether it is good or not.
For now, I'd like to study first,
and then consider having a job somewhere.
I can work on weekends,
earn a bit money,
i can buy less food for myself as i can eat at the workplace for free,
and I can also communicate with others.
Apart form getting a part-time job,
I also love to volunteer,
but I need to be a full university student,
not a student learning language here!!

Okay,
I'll go back to study now!
If want to know the details,
just feel free to listen to explanation next time!!

One week after reading week!


Whew! Reading week has already passed!!
So fast!!
And it's passed for one week.
Oh, no!!
This week, we received our terrible but lovely mid-term exams scores.
Some subjects' scores were a little bit satisfactory,
some are not,
and some was better not have be known!
We made appointments with our instructors asking for tips in order to improve ourselves.
Classroom for reading on Tuesday and Thursday changed,
a little bit fresh.
hahaha!!
the best thing was :
We first had the chance and the honor to have an experience on Scott's class.
He was really, really an excellent teacher!!
On his class,
He treated us like his own children,
so naturally, he taught us in a different way !
He made us laugh!!
However, we learned a lot from him.
Really a lot!!
He not only taught us what to think,
but also how to think,
in writing essays!!
Thanx, Scott!
Besides, I wanna thank Murray.
He pointed out my weakness in listening and speaking:
just say what I wanna say without paying 100% attention to my audience.
This is what I need to improve!!
Besides, the method Murray taught us before,
the method of increasing our reading speed,
it worked well.
My reading speed has already improved a lot,
and it's even faster than my Chinese reading speed (actually I read Chinese really slowly before, now it turns even more slowly)
(oh, no!! I'm becoming Canadian!! I'm a Chinese!!)
Forget it!!
The second half semester has already begun.
I have to continue learning hard!!
Yeah!!
And always!!!
What I want now is just to pass this course and go to my degree program,
since my scores before is not so satisfying!!!
No way!!!
Only pass this course???
I planned to get straight "A"s, or even "A+"s.
However, the highest score was "A" in normal quizzes.
Wait!! I think I can get "A" in my finals cause I'm working hard!!!
And I always will!!
God bless me!!
I'm the hero of the earth,
I'm the hero of the solar system,
and I'm the hero of the entire cosmos (j.k.)
HAHAha...
Oh yeah!!
Cheers!!!!!!

P.S. that is a burger borrowed from Mr. Scott.
The reason why I borrowed it because I can't help myself eating it!!
Every time I see that "sandwich (Scott's favorite)", I feel extremely hungry
even when I just finish my meal!!!
j.k.

Must I have a dream?

Dream a dream,
every day has a dream, has a dream...
I feel that I dream every night.
Sometimes those dreams are fairly beautiful,
however sometimes, they are quite awful!!
Sometimes I may dream about things I've been longing for,
however sometimes, I may meet with those people I hate.
But why do those people I hate appear in my important parties and celebrate together with me?
Why are those things I've longing for taken away by others in my dream?
Why do just a little bit of my endeavor get paid back?
Why do those impossible things happen in my dream??
I know that my luck is either bad or nil,
which means that I either have bad luck or no luck,
but it's all in reality,
how come in my dreams are the same?
Am I suffering a night terror?
Is my life supposed to be like this that I must be a loser for this whole life?
I don't believe in God!!
I always believe in myself!!
I always believe that my life must be dominated only by myself!!
And I did have obtained something I wanted,
I did have changed something I didn't like.
They seem to have proved it!!
However, why do so many extra factors that impede what I'm accomplishing???
Why? Why? Why?
I can't even defend those accidental factors from pulling my steps!!
If I didn't have dreams,
maybe I will never write all of these;
If I didn't have dreams,
maybe I will never trust the God!!
Everyone told me that I'm an optimistic boy!
I hope it is true,
and I hope it can bring me benefits,
even half of my endeavor pay-back.
Must I have a dream??
I don't know what dreams are now!!
Just consider them as garbage,
a kind of relax in life..
Reality is everything!!
Must I have a dream?
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll keep on fighting against everything till I get what I want!!!

An Explorer on Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day has passed.
On that day,
a lot of young and old couples gathered together,
sending roses to each other,
saying "I love you!",
kissing each other ignoring everything around them,
as between each couple is a whole world!!
What a cozy "I love you",
what a cozy kiss.
All of those things, cozy things,
are being waited by me.
Maybe people will think that I'm an idiot due to the words above.
Those making-out,
those words sounds so simple, so common, so ordinary.
that everyone can say it,
but no girl would like to say it to me.
I can say that I'm an explorer on Valentine's Day.
I'm seeking for a girl who loves me.
However,
not only me was seeking for a girl that day,
a lot of guys were.
Money, power,
they can make a person be like a god.
people will follow everything he says,
and it's a goal my parents gave me when I was born.
On the contrary,
I don't agree with them.
Being rich and powerful,
I can get a lot of fun in my job,
how about my family??
After all those money and power I own cannot be taken away when I die.
what I need is just a happy life, cozy family.
maybe my parents are really poor,
they've paid me all of their money to send me here to study.
I must be rich in the future.
Does that mean I have to be "that" rich?
Definitely not!!!
I bet that you can tell what I've been looking for for so many years.
Girlfriend?
Richness?
Girlfriend is changeable,
richness is unstoppable.
A boy, or a man, can get a lot of girlfriends in his whole life,
but A Wife that loves him without any payback is ONLY ONE!!!
Richness, power, or money can get a person many a things he or she wants,
but A Cozy Family, the warm feeling can never be bought,
or, IT IS PRICELESS!!!!
Therefore, that's what richness and power are like!!
And that's what I've been looking for in my life!!
I'm an explorer seeking for a girl that loves me on Valentines' Day!
I'm looking for a chance to be "rich".
Maybe I should take my aunt's advice,
that girl will come to me when it is suitable enough for both of us!!!!!
Or maybe, it is predetermined that my life must be all alone.
I've had a happy, cozy family already,
that's a big family with my parents, grandma and my cousins!!
That's all I have!!!
And they are all good to me!!
Very, very good to me!!
But I'm young,
I need to fly in my own sky,
so I have to leave them.
And now I'm alone,
I don't know what I'm doing here.
Learning in U of C,
and don't know what's gonna happen in the future.
How I wish I were the Oracle in that movie "The Matrix"!!

Blah, blah, blah...Yepee!!!

Firstly, let me finish our instructor's mission.
as follows:
Editing other's essay is good for me.
I did this in China frequently.
By doing this,
I can find a lot of mistakes from their works,
in the meantime,
they can find ours!!
Most importantly,
those tiny mistakes that we can hardly find them out all by ourselves can be found out by others easily.
And always,
these tiny mistakes determines a successful essay...


That's all that I can throw up on this topic,
I feel it extremely challenging to throw up 250 on this topic,
Forgive me pls, Dr. Ilana,
I'll compensate you via praying for you everyday (I mean it)...

What I wanna say,
what I'm gonna express myself is,
err...
basically,
em...
Happy Chinese New Year !!!!
The New Year's Eve is on Feb 6.
Usually on that night,
family members MUST get together and share a gorgeous feast!!!
Watching the show on TV,
eating snacks!!
I do miss that time very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VERY, VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are a lot of shows that will last 4 more hrs.
and till ten more seconds before 12:00 a.m.,
they'll count down seconds till 12:00.
then, the clock bell rings!!
FANCY FIREWORKS, FIRECRACKERS EVERYWHERE!!!!!
We call a lot of our relatives, friends, and even colleagues, classmates, and teachers,
to say "Happy New Year" and other blessing idioms and, or phrases, poems to them...
We call it "Bai Nian"
some family will paste two sentences poems on to the frame of gates.
On the first day of Lunar New Year,
we'll visit a lot of people's house,
and give red bags that have money in it to "children of all ages" (Murray's wds).
I always get a lot,
and store them in a bank....
Besides,
on Lunar Jan 1st,
almost every children wear new clothes (except those poor, I always appropriate part of my red bag money and donate it to them)
after the New Year's Day,
ppl often go out to travel together..
Plum blossom is on during those days,
snapping photos in parks, gardens....
being together with parents and relatives and friends...
How good that make me feel!!!!
I'll never forget that feeling!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wanna go back to CHina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crying, Sobbing...........

My impression of EAP III

I've been in EAP III class for around two weeks.
The first impression it left on me was the assignments.
Quite a lot of those assignments I should accomplish!!
(compared to the 10 hrs homework last year in my high school, it's nothing)
However, not all of them but some are very interesting I think.
Attending lectures, Speaking Journals, Research Projects, Book projects...
They are going to improve my abilities,
as well as my English proficiency of course(so to speak)
Today is a Friday of the second week,
till now,
what've we learned?
Grammar: Easy but tricky and fussy stuff...
Writing: A little important stuff
Speaking: I've been poured with pronunciations, "th" tips, greeting words(informal, can't be used in interviews)
Reading: Reading speed test (compared to Murray's) which is interesting, and guessing word meaning skills (advanced version), and method of improving reading speed (hope it works better)
all of the above are in class.
So what about off class?
hahahahahahaha
I chat with everyone I want,
I watch television programs in English,
I listen to English music all day (so did I previously when I was in China)
I watched movies again and again to learn those words,
whatever kinda words,
even swear words (I just don't know how to use them, and don't know whether I'm allowed to use them in front of a Canadian) .
What's worse,
when I chat with my friends in China online,
I use English till they become angry.
I talk to my Mom and Dad in English,
till they force me to speak our own dialect.
And sometimes when speaking Mandarin Chinese,
I don't know how to organize words perfectly.
My friends told me before that after I'm back in China this summer,
I must teach them English,
and they'll teach me Chinese.
What the hell!!
It seems that I'm a Chinese language learner (definitely it's a joke)

BanG!!!
The worst thing is,
every day before I fall asleep in bed,
when all lights are off,
I started to think about a lot of things IN ENGLISH!!!
NO ANY OTHER LANGUAGES AT ALL!!
It'll last about 1 to 2 hours averagely,
but sometimes I may be awake for a whole night just because of this!!!
I'm mentally sick (hopefully not)!!!
SEE!!!! These are the results of EAP III's super torture!!!
Anyway, I love it instead of hating it!!
hahahahahaha
Believe it or not!!
It's an entire joke, but it's not an entire joke in the meantime!!!!
