I have been in Singapore for a few days already, and I really find Singapore is very different from China in many ways such as language and culture. So it is difficult to adapt to it for me. But I won’t give up, because there are a lot of friends from China and Singapore who have the same dreams and goals. It’s really a happy thing to have company with friends, and I nearly forget I am a foreigner here. We should learn to value our friends so that we won’t feel lonely in the world.
Now I think Singapore is really a wonderful country which has much scenery, a lot of trees and several great universities, I am very lucky to be here. I also have a host family here, they are very nice and easygoing, and we will be good friends. We can go many places with our host family such as all over the Singapore, Malaysia and so on. It’s very lucky, and I am hopeful for the future.

In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster
But in front of the person you like , you get happy.
In front of the person you love, winter seems like spring
But in front of the person you like, winter is just a beautiful winter.
If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush
But if you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.
In front of the person you love, you can' t say everything on your mind
But in front of the person you like, you can.
In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy
But in front of the person you like, you can show your ownself.
Then person you love comes into your mind every 2 minutes.
You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love
But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.
When the one you love is crying, you cry with them
But when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting.
The feeling of love starts from the eye
And the feeling of like starts from the ear.
So if you stop liking a person you used to like
All you need to do is cover your ears,
But if you try to close your eyes
Love turns into a drop of tear and remains in your heart forever after.
This poem is written by an anonymous poet, but I appreciate it very well. The author combined “like” and “love” together and find out some imperceptible differences. These details can be only found by the ones who enjoy every minus of their lives. However, everyone has his unique feeling towards the differences. I think if we think nothing about our own densities, about our relatives, friends and your lover, our lives will fade. Enjoy your sensitive feelings of your time, my friends.
Fight alone
I happened to read something about Allen Iverson __my idol and hero.
Born into a single-parent family, he has a very terrible childhood, which made him very adamant and self-esteemed. When he was in university, he took part in the selection of NBA, and was chosen by SIXERS in the first place. He has a height of 1.83 meters, which makes him hardly survive in a world full of tall men. But he really made it: he got the highest score in NBA for several times, he broke the records again and again, he led the SIXERS to the final game in 2001…… He made every effort to win the games: he would fight in games when he suffered toothaches, he would fight when everyone thought no amazing would happen, he would stop fighting till the last strength was used up. He did not have good assistant when he was young, he fought alone, fought against other’s misunderstands, the rumors, the insults. Faced with all these disasters, he never stop fighting, he never gives in to the so called destiny. He once said, they can not break me. The only way to break me is to kill me, and everything that does not kill me makes me stronger.
We all have the same situation as him. In our whole life, we will face the same situation as him. You can choose to give in to fate or fight against it. Maybe we will not win every time, but even if you lose the game, you will not be regret about it. Fight alone, fight as Allen.

Cultural Shock
I once thought I was familiar with this topic, but today, after Moh Keng explained the phrase and listed the "symptoms" of the culture shock, I realized what I had thought was mostly wrong, and I realized many weeks ago, I was going through my "cultural shock" period.
There is a reason why I haven't been to Sentosa yet. After we first arrived at Singapore, we didn't have any classes. Everyone was busy sightseeing, except me. It doesn't happen a lot, because I am really a gregarious person, I hang out with my fellas. However, when I first arrived, I didn't feel like hanging out. I just stayed inside the hostel, sleeping all the time. All I wanted to do is making phone calls with my parents and my previous friends. It seems like I wouldn't make friends any more, and I complaint a lot, about all the things.
Those are all signs of being suffering from cultural shock. Cultural shock doesn't only mean the seeing-Indians-eating-with-their-hand-shocked-me thing. It tells more about the mental changes inside us when we come to a brand-new place. We all will suffer. That is what humans do. So we should try our best to shape up and embrace everyday with a sunny heart.

Hello weekend
Time flies. Saturday comes again.
I called my dad yesterday. He lives in our hometown, Nanjing Shanghai China
This afternoon I went shopping with my old friend. She is a SM2 student and we hadn’t seen each other for a long time. Fortunately, we still have a lot in common and couldn’t stop chatting about the interesting things in our daily life.
My friend was one of the top students in our high school. Anyway, she told me that she had thought subjects are easy except English when she first came to Singapore
We spent more than four hours walking and talking in IKEA. Happiness often makes people forget time and tiredness. In a new environment, friends are quite important. Living Singapore
Tomorrow we may go to NUS libraries to borrow some books and see a show. I love reading. However, I don’t know whether I will love reading English books. Anyway, I’m looking forward lah!! ^^
the Spring Festival...
As the Spring Festival is coming, I begin to miss my families and friends unconsciously.
Although frequently, I phone my parents and we chat about all kinds of interesting things for a long time, I still often miss them. It’s obviously that this special Spring Festival is doomed to be rough for me to pass. Also, all of my friends in China have gone back home for their winter holiday while I still have to work hard every day until the Spring Festival eve. The photos of happiness they share online seem to be exciting and attractive. When I see these photos, I feel a little bit disappointed. You can imagine how much I want to go back and join them.
Actually, once I have decided to go here for studying, it is destined that I have to abandon something. Therefore when thinking of the purpose I come here, I become calm. In order to master more skills and train myself become the person who I expect to be, I choose to leave my hometown, so it is unreasonable for me to have regrets. Also, I know that my parents agree with my decision because they wish me a bright future as well, even if they are also sad because they have to celebrate the lonely Spring Festival without my company, so I have to work hard and hard to make my parents relieved, as well as being responsible for myself. I firmly believe that I can reach my goal as long as I keep on moving.
Wish all my group members and myself a happy new year!

New year is coming
New year is coming
As time goes by,new year is coming step by step and we have been in Singapore for more than forty days.
The year of 2010 is absolutely unusual for all of us.There are so many big events happened that we even didn't be aware of them.We experienced the college entrance exam in China,which is regarded as the first significant step of life for Chinese. After that,we studied in the universities for about three months.Finally,we arrived at here through different kinds of exams.There is no doubt that it's a turning point for us no matter how the future will be..
For most of us,I believe that it is the first year that we will not stay with our parents on Spring Festival.It's normal for us to feel homesick in this unfamiliar city.But fortunately,we still have each other ,so we can feel better.No matter what happened,there are always some people stand by us,they are our friends.There are also many people who are blessing us in China,so I think we are still lucky enough.
New year will come 4 days later.I wish all of us can be happy every day and harvest a lot in 2011.I wish our parents can be healthy and propitious forever.The year of 2011 is coming.Let's be full of hope and try to create the bright future which belongs to us.

The white treasure
For me, snow is what makes the winter. It is a delicate treasure, a silent announcement of both the end and the beginning.
When there is no wind, snow flaks will whirl in an elegant manner. They fall gracefully together, creating a calm atmosphere. Taking a walk outside in that moment can always keep me spellbound. Just hold out your hand, let a snow flak land on it, admire its unique beauty, and feel its coldness before it turns into a tinny drop. Even watching the sight indoors is enjoyable enough that you don’t want to anything else.
When snow is carried by the strong wind, there will be a totally different picture. It seems that nothing is left but the powerful strength of nature. I could well remember when I have to walk to school in this kind of weather. Snow skimming over shaved my face. The freezing air together with the fierce wind made it hard to breathe.
No matter how snow falls, the city will be quiet and peaceful after it stops snowing. Covered by the white treasure, even the palest building gets a character. The noisy city is given a quiet dignity, everything tend to be more slowly.
Without playing with snow, there is no childhood for kids in my hometown. Dressing in layers of clothes, little kids looks like soft balls rolling on the snow. They run, laugh and shout despite the heavy clothes. Children work hard on snowmen, as well as their parents. Sometimes you may find parent who companies their child even more passionate in creating a snowman. For passersby, there is a lot of fun watching those “masterpieces” with different appearance “smiling” to them. Snow gives everyone a chance of becoming themselves.
There is a Chinese saying :“heavy snow presents a harvest.” When it brings a year to an end, it also delivers hope for a new start.

Lonely men play DOTA
In the Chinese internet world, there is a saying：A man who is playing dota is the same as a woman who wears silk stockings, because both of them are lonely person.
Maybe you do not know what is dota. It’s a computer game which now is one of the most popular games in China. The persons who play it ranges from primary students to workers. In that game, they can enjoy a perception of success through using their role to kill other roles. The more they kill, the higher score they will get. Why did I say those who plays dota must be lonely? That’s because in that game, you need to learn how to cooperate with others, share with others. Without team work, you cannot finish your mission. Sometimes, you even can find your partner through this game, because not only men play dota.
I used to play this game a lot, and I concede I used to feel lonely. In that game, we can possess a feeling of united. You could learn how to help others, and make these experience available in our daily life. Therefore we will not feel lonely any more.
I enjoy playing dota with my friends, but I will not indulge in this game. Due to I know which point should I locate in, and I believe you too, right.
POSTSCRIPT:
I came out with this idea because I extremely do not know what to write in my blog until I saw the ten students of SM2 playing dota in our canteen this night. Playing games is just for entertainment. Too much of that will damage our health, right?

Compulsory study time: a helpful idea or an unnecessary principle
I was disturbed by a noise while I was reviewing my textbook. “Who is the leader of this room?”, asked by a sudden appearing guard of Eton Hall. Not knowing what happened, I raise my hand immediately. After a short talk, I realized that some of my roommates watched movies during compulsory study time, which is strictly forbidden in Eton Hall. Thus, I was asked to ensure that everyone observe the principle during 8:00pm to 10:00pm.
What a familiar situation it was! I am convinced that every Chinese student will never fade the memory of self-study time, a substitution name of compulsory study time, which ensured a better comprehension of textbooks while causing us have no time to spare for private work. Undesirable as the compulsory study time is, I am always believing the advantages of this idea surpass its drawbacks, for it is indispensable and effective for us to survive in the stiff education system.
However, I am still shocked by recognizing that we are still haunted by the nightmare-liking principle in Singapore. Because we are deprive of the right to be self-control which is a sign of being an adult. In other word, I don’t want to be treated as a child who can only study passively. I appreciate the truth that it will help, while I also believe that we can study individually as well, if not better, as during the compulsory study time.
This is only my own opinion; perhaps you don’t share the same idea with me. What do you think about it, my dear friends?

My extra oral report
Life to me is like a glass of water. When something good or bad happens to me, the taste of it will change to be more sweet or bitter. But in fact, life is mixed by happiness, sadness and other feelings. Recently, I have been looking for something a little bit thrilling and something did take place.
Have you ever done an oral report without any preparation except Miao Anbang? This morning, Mr Jega asked me to do an oral report which had been already done last Wednesday afternoon. There was something wrong but in the end I gave up explanation. I was absolutely nervous without any preparation. After I stood still before the blackboard, I thought I can talk about my experiences in primary school which had a connection with this week’s theme-Business and Money.
I have learned how to use an abacus and do calculation in mind. These skills may seem to be useless nowadays because people often use calculators and computers to do complicated calculations, however, they are really unique and valuable to me. So during the report, I talked something about how an abacus works and answering a problem like the key to fifteen multiplied by eighteen is two hundred and seventy. Finally, I finished the talk and Mr Jega showed a lot of interest in the abacus. To my relief, I handled it in the end.
A diary,maybe?
I have been in Singapore for nearly two months.Time flies,isn't it?As it goes by,my excitement fades away,too.Everything is not fresh anymore.Life tends to be stable and boring.
Every weekday I get up with the terrible noise of alarm clock,feeling like to die.Breakfast in the same routine,although uncles and aunties have already tried their best to make changes for us critical eaters.School buses always late,and skip us SM3 students dairily regardless of our early arrival.So no wonder we can see students pushing each other to get on the bus rudely like small children--that's funny!On the way,it always makes me want to jump off the bus and walk to the campus,since it is a faster way!Tutors change everyday with new study tasks,I still feel sleepy,and it's quite often that I fall asleep soundly with classmates talking and laughing loudly around me during the break.But,so what?
Then when we are back at Eton Hall,what I must do is to telephone my mom at least every two days,pretending to be happy and comfortable,or I will let my whole family down!Until then,I find myself a good story-teller!
Yes,that's it.The only change I expect now is the Spring Festival around the corner.Hope more new things would come along!

Butterfly Effection
I watched this movie by accident.I have heard of good comments before.Once I watched,I could not stop.
It was a suspect movie,a little bit scary actually,with blood sights and killing spots.It tells us a man who has the ability to jump to the past and change it.He inherits this from his dead father.When the situation is bad,he tries to jump back by staring at an old photo,and he tries his best to fix everything in the past to make things better.But he is always in trouble.Eventually,he dies for his girlfriend,because she misunderstand his behaviour,that he sacrifices his life to save her.In fact,he really want everyone,except himself,to live better.
Then,police noticed a series killer who abuse young girls cruelly until they die miserably.A detective,who also has the ability to jump,tried to figure out the case with his sister's help,but he fails every time since once a girl is saved,another die.Everyone begins to suspect him,until it turns out that his sister commited the crime.She regard these girls as threats to her,since his brother,the detective will love them.Sounds weird,isn't it?Sister loves her brother in this abnormal way!
The movie wants us to know that people who base their interest on other people's pain will be punished eventually,so we must be kind to people,don't be selfish.It's worth seeing,I recommand you all to watch it.

About Fury
Last night, one of my roommates had a quarrel with the aunties in Eton Hall. At first, he was going to have...just like a negotiate with them. Because his group has to go to the faculty of science to attend classes everyday, which is really a torment because they have to take a NUS internal shuffle after they get off the school bus! So he was to ask the aunties for a permission to take the school bus for the SM2 students---everyday their buses leave with seats vacant, but we are just not permitted to get on! I don't know how come it happened, but it turned out that the auntie said"shut up and get out", then my roommate got utterly provoked, he slammed out without saying a word.
Afterwards, he regreted about what he had done. He said he had tried his best to leave a good impression on everybody, including the aunties, and he thought he managed until yesterday. "I am not like that at all, that's not me...But when the rage came, I just forgot everything."
I know him well and I can guarantee that he is a kind, considerate guy with EVERYTHING I own and I understand him. When I get angry, I will also behave terribly. I don't know if this is a kind of character proving people differ from each other or this is just a bad behavior. But I try not to be angry with others, or I'll create lots of problems. I hope we all are happy everyday. Farewell to rages.

Happy Spring Festival
--How will you celebrate the first spring festival since we left our hometown? --
In the past 18 years, I always shared the most important festival in China
Now, have you already plant to celebrate this special spring festival? I cannot make sure if you are missing your family and feeling sad or not, but at this moment I am full of enthusiasm and eager for a new, perfect spring festival. Although we are far away from our hometown, it does not mean that we must feel lonely and sentimental. Maybe you will ask why? The answer is very simple: we are in a new family now.
The old memory in our hometowns may be still undulating in our mind, but the new, happy photos taken with our friends are on the desktop of laptops. We played interesting games, had a happy barbecue and studied hard for exams. We are all in this together and we have owned many brothers and sisters. All of us rely on each other and believe the friendship among us. No matter how difficult the future is, we are going to fight together. A party will be held next week, on the afternoon of the day before spring festival. It is no doubt that we will have a perfect time.
Best wishes for all of you.
How to Take Care of Your Computer
Hello, everyone.
Today, I want to talk about some simple tips on how to take care of your computer. In all parts of computer, the easiest broken parts are screen, HDD (Hard Disk Drive即 硬盘) and battery.
Firstly, never touch or even press the screen with your hands. Because our skin can secrete something which can break the first film of screen and don’t use alcohol to wipe the screen, because it can also break the first film of screen. You can buy some protect film for it and use little clean water to clean it.
Secondly, never switch off your computer incorrectly and try not to move it fast while using it. Because shake which the fast move can cause is one of the most serious thing that can break the HDD. Switch off your computer incorrectly can make the pinhead which read the data stop incorrectly and fall down to break the HDD and then your data may also lose. By the way, never use your laptop on the bed, because using it on the bed can cause the high temperature which can break the HDD, CPU (中央处理器), GPU (集成于CPU上的图形处理器) and other hardware. Furthermore, don’t use your computer more than 6 to 8 hours once. The computer also needs relax just like human do. If you use it for a very long time once, HDD will get hurt and cannot come back.
Thirdly, try to electrify your battery after making full use of it at least once a month and don’t electrify it while using. Because although the battery we use now have had less memory that before, if we always use it in the wrong way, it can also form the wrong memory, and then we can’t electrify it fully. If your battery has less than 10% broken percent, it’s normal and you don’t need to worry about. However, if it’s more than 10%, you need to do something like release the electricity deeply and extremely (深度放电) to reduce the percent.
Of course there is some other hardware you need to care about, like the USB faucet which you can use the USBHUB (USB扩展工具) to reduce its use, only if you pay attention to it and try to use your computer carefully and I hope these few tips can help you.
Today, I want to talk about some simple tips on how to take care of your computer. In all parts of computer, the easiest broken parts are screen, HDD (Hard Disk Drive即 硬盘) and battery.
Firstly, never touch or even press the screen with your hands. Because our skin can secrete something which can break the first film of screen and don’t use alcohol to wipe the screen, because it can also break the first film of screen. You can buy some protect film for it and use little clean water to clean it.
Secondly, never switch off your computer incorrectly and try not to move it fast while using it. Because shake which the fast move can cause is one of the most serious thing that can break the HDD. Switch off your computer incorrectly can make the pinhead which read the data stop incorrectly and fall down to break the HDD and then your data may also lose. By the way, never use your laptop on the bed, because using it on the bed can cause the high temperature which can break the HDD, CPU (中央处理器), GPU (集成于CPU上的图形处理器) and other hardware. Furthermore, don’t use your computer more than 6 to 8 hours once. The computer also needs relax just like human do. If you use it for a very long time once, HDD will get hurt and cannot come back.
Thirdly, try to electrify your battery after making full use of it at least once a month and don’t electrify it while using. Because although the battery we use now have had less memory that before, if we always use it in the wrong way, it can also form the wrong memory, and then we can’t electrify it fully. If your battery has less than 10% broken percent, it’s normal and you don’t need to worry about. However, if it’s more than 10%, you need to do something like release the electricity deeply and extremely (深度放电) to reduce the percent.
Of course there is some other hardware you need to care about, like the USB faucet which you can use the USBHUB (USB扩展工具) to reduce its use, only if you pay attention to it and try to use your computer carefully and I hope these few tips can help you.

HOST FAMILY~YEAH!
It’s a really unforgettable weekend because we SM3 scholars met our host family on Saturday which we had looked forward to for so long a time. Every three or four of us are assigned into a group, connected with a family.
The host of our group is Mrs. Chan-an easy-going lady dressed up ordinarily. We had lunch together in NUS and later our group went to visit Mrs. Chan’s home, having joyous time chatting the whole afternoon. Mrs. Chan introduced a lot of things about herself and her family to us, which are all novel to us. We thought all the rich ladies will devote themselves into work or just live a easeful. On the contrary, she told us she occupied herself with studying every week, even if she had a quite busy job. What she believes is that it’s never too late to study, which I appreciate most. As a student, it is of great encouragement to hear that from an auntie like her. Also, Mrs. Chan told us that she works as a volunteer in her spare time. Due to the belief that people should be grateful for what he have and learn to be generous, she take active part in different types of charities.
Hearing all of what she said, I was totally touched. Maybe I am really lucky enough to meet Mrs. Chan, not only for her liberal of hosting us, but also for the meaningful lesson she gave us.

Goodbye Dr.Tan, Hello Maths
I am a student who is afraid of maths, a lot. Especially when it comes to calculus. It is called "advanced maths"! How can I manage to understand! But I also hate history, so it's very hard for me to choose a major...
As we all know, on Fridays, we will not attend English classes, wo will go to study calculus or C programming or something else. At first, we attended lectures related to personal hygiene, some serious diseases and doing exercise properly held by Dr.Tan, a lecturor that can make us laugh and laugh, I think if there something wrong with myself, I will absolutely long for a doctor like him. What I couldn't figure out is the reason why there were students sleeping during HIS lecture! How come this happened? Maybe they had had poor sleeping quality, I think. But sunny days finally passed. We must say farewell to Dr.Tan, because we are supposed to attend lectures about maths and C programming, which is my nightmare and dread. It finally came to me last Friday. To my astonishment, we didn't learn some difficult stuff. The lecturor of C programming had prepared a lecture about elements of a PC to kindle our interest to his class, and the maths teacher wasn't as prim as I had thought. To be brief, personally, I had a charming Friday, but maybe as time goes by, I will feel awful sooner or later...But...whatever, let's wait and see.

Listen to my own heart
It was on Thursday,at a friend's birthday party that I was touched and started to think about something which I've never had the courage to do.For the first time,I started to listen to my own heartbeat.
Birthday cake,candles,bless and birthday song.All were happily going on.When it comes to talking of his experiences,he cried.I've never saw a boy cry before.It was because he felt guilty for not caring enough to comfort his mother,as his mother missed him very much.He promised to telephone her every tow days.
I was deeply touched,not only for his kindness,but also,I found that every person has his or her own things hidden deep inside,which only he or she can feel.I came to realise it was not only me myself suffered from painful memory and tough experiences.Everybody does!My heart suddenly got bright and light.
In the past,I was upset and felt unfair for what happened to me,for what made me become the way now I am.I thought no one else does,so I chose to hide them and tell no one.And I hated the whole world!But now I feel reliefed.I have the courage to listen to my own heart,and when I do so,it becomes not that serious anymore.It turns out to be just little things which I can deal with,not terrible at all as I thought it would be!
I owe all this to my friend!He really teached me a lot!

After Attending a Wedding
I myself had never attended a wedding ceremony until I met my host family in Singapore. MOE helped all of the SM3 students to find a host family. Though we will not live with them, we will hang out with them every now and then, which I think is very good for us---we are far away from home,we have peers, but no family, now we have.
The name is auntie Mae, a mother for three children---two boys and one girl, a good Chinese speaker. MOE suggested us to speak English, but maybe she thought speaking Chinese was better for our identification. What's more, Chinese is easy for us to speak...
We were the first few people who left the theatre, that's because otherwise auntie Mae's plan would be ruined---she wanted to take us to a wedding ceremony. We got on her car and rushed there, the wedding had already begun, but to our gratification, we didn't miss too much.
I was really touched, I hadn't thought a Christian wedding ceromony would be like that---the chapel, the praying, and all the things I don't know how to describe in English...It was just like we were in a movie. When the couple came in, when they say "I will" to each other, when the clergyman claimed them husband and wife, my feeling is beyond words.
I think everyone, whether married or not, will dwell on themselves' marriage after the ceremony just like I did. To,be frank, I'm not confident of myself when it comes to this issue. I think girls are all way out of my league...There a saying in China to depict a boy persuing a girl out of his league: "A frog want to eat the flesh of a swan". Maybe I'm a frog, but I believe, there WILL be a swan that can see the spakling things in me.
Waiting for a swan like that.

Lose and get
Last Wednesday my computer did not work suddenly, I had already done my assignments on it. But I could not get it out owing to the error in it. When I sent it to Funan to have it repaired I knew that I would wait for more than one week. I had to rewrite my paragraph on my buddy’s laptop. I was really sad, thinking that why I was so unlucky that God plays tricks on me.
But things didn’t end, the tutor instructed us to write blogs, I can just sit there for about 1 hour, watching us operating on their laptops. And we must write two blogs this week, on Thursday, I know that I have another job that must be done on computer. I got totally depressed and I can’t sleep well at night.
But things went better after that. I told my experience to a friend, we just had a few words before. To my surprise, she tried her best to comfort me, and it worked! With some more words with her, we became good friends. Smiles came back to my face again.
Maybe I lost something in that case, but I think I got things more important than what I lost. And I think life is the same, when you lose something, sooner or, later you will get another treasure.
Life of my own
Everyone is simple, no matter how famous (s)he is. Generally speaking, (s)he is just a creature in this world, and all of us will be part of dirt. I can still remember my management teacher’s philosophy: “Man’s whole life is just amusing and enjoying himself; we need not care much about what others comment.” These words always haunted me beside my ears when I feel frustrated or depressed.
It is three months ago that I first met Ban Ki-Moon #. I had been lucky enough to get the ticket of the speech; therefore, when I stood out the auditorium, full of solemnity and admiration, I couldn’t stop wondering how his temperament would attract all the audience. At 14:00, he commenced his speech on environment punctually, after one hour emotional lecture, he ended with a smile. Then, he went straight to the left of the platform where is opposite to his seat, thus his wife had to stand up to guide him back. He was puzzled at first; afterwards, he gave us a childlike smile, and fellow his wife slowly. All of us were amused by the small mistake, and the atmosphere of the speech became less serious while more vibrant.
On the way back to school, I heard one of my fellow student said “I don’t know whether it is a lapse of the host. But I know that famous as he is, he is just a husband that can make mistakes in his wife eyes.” Indeed, we appreciated him much; maybe, as to himself, the reputation is something affixed, he just does the right thing he believes, he trusts, which is enough to him.
It is the same to every individual; we live a life influenced much by what is meaningless: the words of strangers, the order of the day, the reaction of the one who has nothing to do with your case. Sometimes, it seems like the more insignificant the people is, the more we will be influenced, because we do not want to be shamed by a layman, which sounds ridiculous; unfortunately, it is the case most of times. Moreover, I always believe that it is the reason why we feel depressed and frustrated.
Recalling the scene in management class, a middle-age professor stared at blackboard without a word, and suddenly burst out a piece of stupendous speech; then speaking to us smilingly “Man’s whole life is just amusing and enjoying himself”. Perhaps many years will be cost to comprehend these words, to achieve this philosophy; whereas, I’d like to be a guy who can follow the voice echoed in my spirit.
Edward scissorhands
Edward scissorhands is a very old movie.But I saw it just a few days ago.I think it's an eternal classic movie.It says a story of an uncompleted man who has scissor hands.He is taken to a family from a castle by a woman who has sympathy.In that family,he fell in love with a beautiful girl called Kim.He can even do anything for her.Edward is good at triming different kinds of things.His work in the town is just to do some garden sculptures and hairstyles.He is very kindhearted,but there are always some people saying that he is handicapped or unnormal.There are even some people who want to take advantage of him.However,no matter what happened,he still love Kim and do everything he can to make her happy.Unfortunately,because of the partial opinion from the people in the town,Edward finally go back to the castle though Kim and Edward love each other.
I think though the story is untruthfulness,it can also impress us.First of all,this love story tells us the element of love.When people fell into love,they can change and sacrifice themselves for each other.Besides,we can learn from Edward that no matter what situations we are in,we should always keep kind.If we are evil,we will have a retribution sooner or later.What's more,people should not always be carried along by the tide.If we have no definite views of our own,that will not only hurt ourselves,but also some innocent people.So just to be a person who has own mind.
If you have not ever watched this movie and have interests in it,just watch it now.

The legend of 1900
Recently, a movie-The legend of 1900, impress me profoundly.
The story began in the first day of 1900, when Danny Boodman came across an infant abandoned in a steamship , Danny adopted the child and named him T.D.Lemon Nineteen Hundred.
Unfortunately, Danny died by accident while Nineteen Hundred was just a eight years old boy. Lately, Nineteen Hundred found his best friend:piano. He immersed himself in the world of music and become a pianist played for the ship’s band. Then, he met Max. They shared the same interest with each other. He run into a girl and fell love with her at the first sight. After many years, everything gone and he died with the ship.
Nineteen Hundred never left the ship where he grew up, even though his friend Max considered that he should show his talent to the world and made a difference; even though he wanted to find the girl he loved; even though the ship would be blown up and he would die. He never involved himself into the world filled with desire, where he may miss himself .He devoted his life to the music and never played it for reputation.
After watching this film, I almost cried out. I understand that no matter how hypocritical the world is, we can’t lose ourselves . We are supposed to stick to our belief and never give in.

As a order, we Chinese 19th sm3 students moved into Eton Hall in 16th Jan,2011. Before this, we were in Parry Hall for merely a mouth, which gives me a comparison of the two hostels. And after that, I have to say, I really hope to be still in Parry Hall, which is now a visionary thought.
From my own perspective, Parry Hall is a far more suitable place for learning, as both the bedchamber and the studying room are quiet and easeful. Besides this, due to the limited number of students living in one room, it seems quite easy for me to communicate with my roommates and come up with a compromise about certain stuffs. However, here in Eton Hall, I share the room with 7 other scholars, which makes it totally impossible to cope with schoolwork. And together, to negotiate with the others about bedtime appears a completely mission impossible.
Apart from the above, base installations turn out to be really far from satisfaction. Food is really terrible. Basketball court can be the worst I have ever seen. Beds always give out a lot of noise when someone lies down. Most of all, the whole environment seems dusty one in a while.
I know complaints can never help. I know I could never go back to Parry Hall. Hence I would have to change my attitude and mindset. Hope by this way, I could enjoy a substantial stay in Eton Hall.

My first blog in English (a boring one)
When I was in China, I seldom wrote blogs and uploaded them on the Internet in the forms of QQ or Renren, in fact, I am not good at it and usually can’t find topics to talk about, so I told myself it is just a blog not a real assignment. I should take something interesting or meaningful down to attract others’ attention and win some popularity among so many excellent blogs which have already been uploaded.
Last week, I did my oral report on the topic of English learning strategies. It was a miserable moment due to my poor preparation. But the more important thing is that I have learned from this lesson and kept other classmates’ views on mastering English in mind. Sometimes, I find it difficult to follow my own schedule, i.e., I often delay doing things which should be finished in time. It is really a bad habit. In order to drop out of it, maybe I can force myself to do things. Moreover, believe in myself is also important. It is possible for everyone to force himself to be more confident, I think. In the same way, I can take this method into keeping writing blogs to improve my English. If you can master it perfectly, you will absolutely make progress sooner or later.
In the end, I wish all the classmates’ made progress and I promise that I will write a better one next time.
exB1:Try not.Do or do not.
Try not.Do or do not. –Yoda
The first time I saw this logion is when I was watching a American drama—CRIMINAL MINDS,which one of my best friends recommended me. The spirit of this famous saying has been acompanying us until now,especially in the period of our graduated grade. What’s more,the idiom also give me mighty power when I was preparing the interview and examination of Singapore Scholarship Program.
Don’t try. If you had decided to do,just do it,as NIKE said. Otherwide,if you just hold the attitude of play,just do nothing. You don’t need to waste your time. “Try” can’t take you to the way of success. If it does,just due to luck. But luck doesn’t always be with you. So,since “try” is useless,then it is equal to do nothing. Depends on the benefit,do nothing is better. However,spenting all of your effort to do,sometimes it doesn’t work too. But at least,you won’t have compunctions. Do your best.The rest can but be God’s thing.
Recently,something often come to my mind.”If I didn’t pay attention to the program,what will happen?”,”If I felt hopeless when I answer “I’m 18” which the question my interviewer asked me is “how are you”,then I gave up,what will happen?”,”If I so worried about my homework and didn’t give time to prepare the program,what will happen”. I don’t know. Maybe the answer is certain.
I don’t mean that how well I do,actually I think I am the worst one among my group members. But compare with the old me, it’s no doubt that I became better. I just want to ues my own experience to share the valuable pearl in my life with you.We should do our utmost to achieve our gold in life. Don’t let every small chance slip. I feel sorry about so many friens who are smarter than me but they don’t join or pass the program texts for different reasons. Perhaps,you just lack little thing,which means big.
It’s your own life.

【 Via is NOT alone 】
Love has it all , beckons softly with its call night & day.
——Ivana <Love has it all>
These days I’m feeling good, with my dear friends, teachers and host family auntie.In spite of the lonely beginning of my Singapore life, bit by bit, I know I’m not alone. We’re together.
I love this feeling.
This morning Jiayue, Yangyang, Qingwei and I met with Mrs. Chan, the hostess of our host family. She is so hospitable that invite us t her house in the afternoon. Though her husband is busy and successful with his company and their son is studying in the U.S.A, Mrs. Chan is never lonely at home. Actually, she attends different courses such as cooking and computing, which makes her life colourful and meaningful. Perhaps she has already pulled through those tough days and then is able to enjoy the happy life now.
Time flied while we were talking congenially. Tomorrow we will go to church to experience the Christians’ life. In fact, we four students are all free-thinkers. However, I believe it’s beneficial for one to meditate on his or her life. Recalling, praying or just staying there can make our mind quiet and peaceful. In addition, I’m learning to be grateful to everything in my life. Happiness consists in contentment.
Tomorrow afternoon we will visit some friends of Mrs. Chan’s. That sounds exciting because I really like to talk with people from different culture and backgrounds, especially from different races.
“To know more” is always attractive to me.. ^^
My high school classmates had a party today. Now they’re posting blogs about it. Reading those vivid descriptions, thinking about my old friends and teachers, I’m missing them so bad.
Since I’m far away, I can only imagine their faces now, so familiar but somehow strange. Sometimes I even feel regretful that I couldn’t be with them.
But I’m so lucky to have you, my lovely group mates. I cherish the happy time we had, talking, laughing and walking through fresh new places. Bit by bit, I feel as if I have a real family here. Every time I look into your eyes, I know you’re there, with me, and we can do a lot of meaningful things together. That makes me courageous even in such a dark night.
I'm not afraid to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand.
We'll walk this road together, through the storm.
——Eminem < Not afraid >
A month has gone so fast. I’m used to my new life now. I have my little goals but still thinking about my big dream. Which major should I take? What will I be in the future?...
I’m wondering and looking forward to a new “myself”.
It may be interesting not to know everything previously. Because you still have something to guess and expect.
As long as I’m doing my best, I know time isn’t wasted. Every minute in Singapore has its unique value. I learn something new and grow up a little everyday.
I am and will always be looking forward to the next day.
Who knows what could happen ?
Do what you do. Just keep on laughing.
One thing's true - there's always a brand new day

But I’m so lucky to have you, my lovely group mates. I cherish the happy time we had, talking, laughing and walking through fresh new places. Bit by bit, I feel as if I have a real family here. Every time I look into your eyes, I know you’re there, with me, and we can do a lot of meaningful things together. That makes me courageous even in such a dark night.
I'm not afraid to take a stand. Everybody come take my hand.
We'll walk this road together, through the storm.

A month has gone so fast. I’m used to my new life now. I have my little goals but still thinking about my big dream. Which major should I take? What will I be in the future?...
I’m wondering and looking forward to a new “myself”.
It may be interesting not to know everything previously. Because you still have something to guess and expect.
As long as I’m doing my best, I know time isn’t wasted. Every minute in Singapore has its unique value. I learn something new and grow up a little everyday.
I am and will always be looking forward to the next day.
Who knows what could happen ?
Do what you do. Just keep on laughing.
One thing's true - there's always a brand new day
