最近总是觉得很down. 觉得自己的生活中有太多需要争取的地方，却不知道从那里下手，太多的迷茫和不确定，又或者是不自信。愁眉紧锁是我最近最最经常出现在脸上的表情。
希望有一位聪明的老者能够给我一番启示。不一定是一些高深的道理或领悟，即便是简单的一些到自己都明白的道理，要是由一个平和智慧的老者口中说出，也能给我巨大的力量。让我知道这是每个人都要经历的蜕变历程，让我有继续前行的信心。
我要的东西不多，不求荣华富贵，不求有权有势，只求在自己变老的时候，自己能够有一颗平静满足的心看待自己，看待身边的人和事，能够发自内心的认为生活其实很好，值得每一天都微笑。
现在我需要什么？需要一个坚定的信念，一种从容的态度，而这一切，往往能从你个简单自信的微笑开始。仔细想想，这是一个多么奇妙的等式：从一个微笑开始，一直努力啊努力，最后最满意结果还是一个微笑。人生的旅程啊，不如让这一过程也充满微笑吧！不管路有多难，只要自己还掌握着方向盘，就满意的鼓励自己一下，微笑的对自己说：做的很好，继续吧！

新年汇报
好久好久好久没有写东西了，但是也没什么总结好写的，于是想想还是告诉大家我最近都在做些什么好了。图文并茂，希望总结的够详细。
先臭美一下上传一张被cityweekend摄影师在一个派对上抓拍到的照片，还荣幸的被放到了网上，虽然是蛮久以前的事，但是我还是小小的屁颠一下（不准说不像我或者比本人好看！我本来就是这样的！）。
然 后就是回家过新年的情况了，虽然在飞机场发生了差点不能上飞机的乌龙事件，然后就是好不容易上飞机却把随身携带的相机包，镜头，现金和卡以及两瓶洋酒都落 在机场的超级乌龙事件。。。搞得我在飞机上的心情都是bitter and sweet的，不过还好，最后把东西都拿了回来。所以下面的图片就是我的家－－－可爱的柳州。
回到家里大鱼大肉是免不了的，要不也不会形成我回家10天肥了8斤的掺状，不过也罢也罢，运动我还是做了的，比如我去登了马鞍山（穿着高跟鞋去的），下面就是俯瞰柳州左半部分。
然后我还登了盘龙双塔山（也是高跟鞋登上去的，哇哈哈），如下图。
盘龙山上的和尚和祈福者。
登山后有去看江滨公园和马鞍上下的舞龙舞狮，还蛮好玩的说，虽然旁边不是小弟弟小妹妹就是大叔大妈的说。。。
大年初二我们看了烟火，由于当天没风，所以这个烟火看上去像失火一样，很令人汗颜，不过气氛还是很好的，喜欢柳州的河堤！
然后我们放孔明灯许愿，不怕你笑话，我弟弟，弟弟女朋友，我还有jeremy在灯上写的愿望分别是，天天开心，天天快乐，天天高兴，happy everyday....哈哈，有个性吧！没错！你看最亮的那个灯就是我们的！我要happy happy happy!
我的丑弟。。。。
然后去了同学聚会的预热板－－乐城KTV。Jeremy的MY HUMP让全场笑到暴。
梦瘪的经典KTV造型：
我 们去吃了‘下火堂’的甜点，不过由于有眼无珠，那家的爆难吃！！！已经不记得我们点的东西在店里都叫什么了，但是我们都为各自点的东西新起了名字：鱼鼻涕 糖水，屁暖甜酒。。。还有一些难以下咽的东西，由于害怕老板娘听到我们的抱怨吐一坨口水或挖一坨鼻屎作为“加料”，我们还是没有把我们的不满大声说出 来。。。。
还有一些大收获就是发现柳州有一家好可爱的泰迪熊咖啡店，赶紧叫上姐妹聚一聚！哇，聊天聊的超开心哇～
还 有就是发现柳州还有酒吧做cocktail咯，不知道是我孤陋寡闻还是什么原因，我去年回去没有发现有酒吧做cocktail，还隐约记得去年实在没有什 么好尝试的情况下，酒吧老板给我们推荐了海藻味的啤酒。。。。无语吧？下面的过年期间混的最紧密的组织：酒米黑猪头团伙，确切的说，就是从左至右，酒米， 黑，猪头。
既然同学聚会有了预热，当然还有正式的同学聚会拉！我要坦白的说，这次聚会很成功，很有创意，很无厘头，很有2班的性格！很爽！特此鸣谢参加者和辛勤劳动的组织人员们！当然还有远在他乡的范瘪！我们想你啦！
然后我不得不前往上海开始又一年辛勤的工作，想想是挺郁闷的，于是在Stella同学的协助下我们先犒劳自己一顿！主要有：意大利面，酸奶水果沙拉，土豆泥，基围虾（被我义无反顾的烧糊了。。。。）
恩，新年的事件基本上cover了一下，当然还有很多高兴难忘的细节没有一一写下，我实在没有耐烦心写下去了，请见谅！新的一年我会努力的！赚钱赚钱，数钞票数钞票。。。。哇哈哈，很小市民吧？但是最重要的就是像孔明灯上的愿望－－－开心，高兴，快乐，happy啦！

被电到了
我以为自己就是那棵小草，不被世俗中女人们所追求的东西左右。来上海快一年了都没进过施华洛世奇，虽然的旗舰店，猜想也不过如此。直到今天，我鬼使神差的走进了店里。
看着一颗颗闪闪的水晶，我心情竟如此之澎湃。。。。原来我也和大多数女人一样逃不过‘闪亮’的诱惑。。。。它毫无顾忌的拨动了我心中的那根弦。。。。叮呤。。。。

Chinese of the Day 3--狗屎运
Every morning on my way to work, I can never avoid seeing these puppy poops all over the neighborhood, they seem to be everywhere in Shanghai. As far as I think, Shanghai people love dogs than people anywhere in China. Dogs aren't bad, but dog shit...errrrrrrrrrrrr...I have to walk very carefully to make sure I don't step on any of those things at the begining of my day...
It is definitely not such a good begining to ACTUALLY step on dog shit. But what if you do? Is it really that bad?
狗屎(gou shi)= dog shit
Believe it or not, there IS a kinda 'dog shit luck' in Chinese:
狗屎运（gou shi yun)=dog shit luck; what the hell is dog shit luck? How do people associate dog shit with 'luck' here?
撞上狗屎运（zhuang shang gou shi yun)=bump into the dog shit luck;
What kinda luck is that?
Sometimes you can be so lucky that you can't even believe it, chances of being that lucky is just like stepping on a turd of dog poops--I know I know, I have to point it out that you are not doing this step-on-dog-shit experiment in Shanghai, but somewhere that's relatively difficult to step on it.
If you pick up a purse with 10,000 cash in it on the street, then you 撞上了狗屎运；
If you won a 30,000 lottery, you can say: 我真是撞上狗屎运了！
If you did the best job in class in a very important exam, but in fact you did not even really prepare for it, when your classmates come to you and congratulate you, you can say: 没什么，我就是撞上了狗屎运。Or even if you did work hard on it before the exam but you just trying to be modest, you can also say it is just a bump-into-dog-shit luck.
So dog shit, it is kinda annoying to ACTUALLY step on it, but it is not too bad to have a dog shit luck. Things always have the bright side.

Chinese of the Day 2--不务正业
What do you think of someone like following:
A student who spent lots of their time-I mean lots- drawing graffiti just because they love it?
A teacher spent most of their income on collecting stamps also because they loves it?
A young person attended all kinds of singing talent competition, no decent job, being poor and doing whatever they can to be a pop star？
......and lots more crazy things like that....
You might think they have passion in their life, they have a goal to pursue...you might also think that anybody will make it if they are persistent, maybe even though they did not make any achievement in the end, they at least enjoyed their life...
No no no...Chinese parents don't think so, instead, most of them think they are 不务正业（bu wu zheng ye), so what is 不务正业？
不-not, no, don't;
务-do, conduct, work;
正-real, normal, common;
业-job, assignment.
So Chinese parents think they are not doing their job, they are not doing what they are supposed to do!
When most Chinese parents are trying so hard to 'direct' their kids' life, what is the '正业' in parents' eyes?
Lawyer, of course not only a normal job but also a decent one; Teacher/professor, good one too; Doctor, great one; Worker for the government or state-own company... These are probably top 正业 listed in parents's mind, and translator, TV host and reporter so on. Basically steady jobs with regular and hopefully high income are 正业。
However, the world is changing and people are going after some kinda exciting and fabulous life instead of steady, predictable life that can not be any more boring, especially when you are still YOUNG. While the older generation are calling us 不务正业，We have another chic word to tell you about what we are doing and our state of mind-颓废( tui fei).
In the dictionary, it is translated: decadence or depravation. But you know what? That's not the way it is when it is a slang, well, it could mean decadence or depravation, but it has the inner meaning: I realized that but I don't really care at the moment. And more often, it can be translated in whole lot of different ways:
Doing something besides for job,study or hard working;
Just killing time, resting, not doing anything;
Sweep away responsibilities and stop making sense, do whatever they feel like to,
or it can be even translated as--chilling. Yeah, you don't have to take everything so seriously, do whatever you want, relax and have to good time.
Here is an example:
-你最近怎么样？最近忙什么呢？How have you been? What you busy with lately?
-我最近比较颓废。Well nothing much, not doing anything，Just chilling.
So when the 'Beat Generation' is officially translated '跨掉的一代', how about translate it as 颓废的一代？
A student who spent lots of their time-I mean lots- drawing graffiti just because they love it?

Chinese of the Day 1
While almost all of you know about the meaning of 'toufu' in the Chinese slang 吃豆腐 （eat toufu), another slang came across my mind:
If you are married to some Chinese women or dating some Chinese girls or dealing with some Chinese girls in any way. Then this is a slang you might want to know--because Chinese women have a reputation of being 刀子嘴，豆腐心. Or sometimes what they really want is different from what they say.
Speaking of this, there is also another idiom for women, for hard-to-predict women: 女人心，海底针(nv ren xin, hai di zhen) meaning women's hearts are like needles in the sea, hard to figure out what are they thinking. Just imagine how would you find the needles in the sea...well... since there are many women so there must be many 'needles' in the sea, so be aware not to turn to other needles while you were looking for your own ones.
Poor guys, when you arrived in China, you would not only have to deal with the most complicated language in the world but probably also have to deal with the most hard to deal with women in the world...Good luck.
冷笑话...好冷...

Yes babe, we are in the zoooooooooo
The zoo, last time I went there was last centry...okay, I'm not that old, but last time I went to the zoo was really long long time ago. There are mostly two reasones that I no longer went to the zoo:
1) The absence of animals. Most zoos in China don't really have any animals, they will find all kinda excuses for the absence of animals. Polar bear and penguin are too hot to stay, panda is on the trip to Taiwai visiting his buddy fellas, tiger is away for hospital, monkeys are on the street performance to earn some dough...what is the point of going to the zoo when all you see are cages and sevral birds?
2) Don't like the smell.
3) Don't like to see animals being kept in cages as I grow older.
Yeah it is been really a long time since I last went to the zoo. I don't even remember what zoo is like until I got off the subway...
The first step out of the subway exit, what you will see is lots of street sellers trying to sell you candy floss, spicy noodles, stone-fried chestnuts and toys and handi-crafts....all those things are exactly the same as they were in my childhood memory.
In front of the hand-made bicycle stand, there is a girl kicking and screeming and doing whatever she can to get a little iron-string bike, god I could tell you I was like that when I was little, or even worse.
As we moved on, we saw more kids passed by since we were getting closer to the zoo. I think the other fun thing about going to the zoo is watching kids. They are so so cute, chubby face, dark, soft and shiny hair, big head and the little angel wings they wear, they were runing up and down happily. That is something I always always want to see, except when they get annoyed and start screeming and never want to stop.
So before you even realize it, here we are in the zoo. The entrance ticket is 30RMB, I certainly expect they really have some animals inside.
It is a really big zoo. To someone who are from a small town like me, that is huge. It is basiclly like a big forrest with all those animals, the difference is they keep animals in cages.
The first animal we saw were flamingo. It was the first time I saw flamigo in my life, they are really pink and were kept on the small island in the middle of the pond...I want to see them clearly so I went closer. They did not move a tiny bit, they seem to be resting then...more like a orstrich to me, only they are pink, and more skinny.
Moving on, as we got to the sweet home of 'National Treasure'--panda. Speak of them, I got some negative things to say about them: yes they are chubby and cute and blah blah blah, but see what they do all day: eating, pooping, and sleeping. Mother nature would definitely eliminate them in turns of its survival skills: it would be too fat to move when someone come to attak it, it has to spend all day eating to intake enough nutrition because it has a lousy digestion system ...only humen being try to keep them, or maybe Chinese want to keep them--just to appreciate their cute image. Anyway, hope I can have some possitive thoughts about them after watching Kongfu Panda, oh wait, maybe they were as swift as it is in Kongfu Panda before humen beings tried to feed them and kept them as pets.
The next 'pet' we saw...oh yeah that's tiger. They were so lazy...exactly the way they are in my impression. Tigers in the zoo are always lazy, and smelly. That's why people were trying every way to tease them and perk them up. But sometimes even I found people did way too much: they throw things at them, spilt water to them and everything...yes the King of the Forrest are in the cage and they can't bite your ass off at this point, but just leave them alone, how would you feel to be teased by thousands of idiots every day. But I saw an interesting scene: a little boy wearing his split panties( about 3-4 years old) quitely watching the tiger while his dad or uncle or whoever that is was reaching his hand with a bottle out to the tiger trying to tease it, maybe the kid was just scared that his buddy might be bitten by the big cat or something, he started to shout: leave it alone! Followed a hard spank on his buddy. Yeah that was done by a kid wearing split panties. Way to go boy!
Then we kept moving and moving and saw wolves and foxes and bears and other animals that I don't even know how to say their names in English nor in Chinese...It was kinda complicated feeling watching them...they reminds me of my childhood so much, they reminds me of the excitement of seeing them when I was little, and jumping and laughing and all, but I do feel sorry for them for being kept in the cage and feed by humen beings...
Here comes the biggest excitement of all--big playground in the zoo--wonderland of kids! It was so sweet to be there! I know this is Nanjing not my hometown Liuzhou, but how come everything look so familiar to me?
The marry-go-round, the wood horse was so tall to me but now it is so small.
The pirate boat, I was too scaried to get in before, but now, it looks small too, a piece of cake.
The swing seat, hell this was the thing made me puke and dizzy for the rest of my visit when I was little, I still fear it, better stay away from it.
The ferris wheel, well, we did not have that thing back then...
and many other exciting games...they still look cool to me, just the ticket price is ten times expensive as ten years ago. And this time, no brother and cousins accompany, no ice creem bought by my uncle...I was a giant in the dwarfs world...haha.
It was already getting dark then, but since we have lots more to see, we kept moving.
Ahhhhhhhhhh the naughty monkeys, they were happy as hell living in their paradise created by human. And I also had an impressive story to tell you about monkey in my childhood:
When I was around 6, my bro was around 2 and my cousin was around 3 or 4--that was long time ago. We had a young nanny take care of us back then. It was a beautiful weekend and our nanny decided to take all of us to the zoo. So she hold my 2-year-old bro in her arms, I was dragging the left corner of ther shirt while my cousin was dagging the right corner--off we went to the zoo. It was a great time when the drama happened:
We came to the monkey cage, all of us were so excited to see those little monkeys. My little cousin desided he wants to get into the second fence and try to feed the monkeys. So my nanny hold him up and get over the first fence--there he was standing face to face with the monkeys, then he squatted down, moved a bit closer to the cage--the cage has very small finger-size holes--reaching his little hand with a piece of tangerine to the cage, oops, maybe should get a bit closer. Then my cousin moved his little chubby butt a bit closer so that he could feed the monkey, BANNGGGGGGGGGGG! The monkey which was waiting for the tangerine sticked its finger out for somehow and grab a batch of my cousin's hair and pulled them out and hide them under its butt and pretended nothing happended--what a monkey! But my cousin's head was too close to the cage and he did not realized it.
My cousin was scaried shitless and did not even know how to cry. And our nanny, she was scared shitless too, she jumped into the first fence and took my cousin out, took a close look at his injury--hell, that part was bold and spotting blood came out from the pores because of the tough pull. Lucky no scratching, otherwise my cousin will need some extra shot in the butt and even some IV just in case some animal disease.
The three kids was staring at our nanny did not know what to do, neither did our nanny...then she made the silliest decission ever--she took us on a really long circle hoping my cousin's hair will grow back a little bit before arrived home so that parents will not find it out. She knew our parents will be so piss off when seeing this. But we did not know about that, all we knew was we were going home and the trips seems a bit long, but it doesn't matter cuz we played all the way back.
Of course my cousin's hair did not make any progress when we got back so our nanny had to tell the truth. The adults were not so angry though, no serious injury anyway so they just started laughing at my cousin for being naughty and silly... That's pretty much the story, we still make fun of my cousin with that story now.
Well guess we are still at the zoo in Nanjing, but I'm a bit tired now, wrote too much today. and that's pretty much the visit. If you haven't been there yet and you are still in Nanjing, you should definitely go! The smell of animal would not even be so bad if you take your date with ya!
1) The absence of animals. Most zoos in China don't really have any animals, they will find all kinda excuses for the absence of animals. Polar bear and penguin are too hot to stay, panda is on the trip to Taiwai visiting his buddy fellas, tiger is away for hospital, monkeys are on the street performance to earn some dough...what is the point of going to the zoo when all you see are cages and sevral birds?

It was already getting dark then, but since we have lots more to see, we kept moving.
Ahhhhhhhhhh the naughty monkeys, they were happy as hell living in their paradise created by human. And I also had an impressive story to tell you about monkey in my childhood:
When I was around 6, my bro was around 2 and my cousin was around 3 or 4--that was long time ago. We had a young nanny take care of us back then. It was a beautiful weekend and our nanny decided to take all of us to the zoo. So she hold my 2-year-old bro in her arms, I was dragging the left corner of ther shirt while my cousin was dagging the right corner--off we went to the zoo. It was a great time when the drama happened:
We came to the monkey cage, all of us were so excited to see those little monkeys. My little cousin desided he wants to get into the second fence and try to feed the monkeys. So my nanny hold him up and get over the first fence--there he was standing face to face with the monkeys, then he squatted down, moved a bit closer to the cage--the cage has very small finger-size holes--reaching his little hand with a piece of tangerine to the cage, oops, maybe should get a bit closer. Then my cousin moved his little chubby butt a bit closer so that he could feed the monkey, BANNGGGGGGGGGGG! The monkey which was waiting for the tangerine sticked its finger out for somehow and grab a batch of my cousin's hair and pulled them out and hide them under its butt and pretended nothing happended--what a monkey! But my cousin's head was too close to the cage and he did not realized it.
My cousin was scaried shitless and did not even know how to cry. And our nanny, she was scared shitless too, she jumped into the first fence and took my cousin out, took a close look at his injury--hell, that part was bold and spotting blood came out from the pores because of the tough pull. Lucky no scratching, otherwise my cousin will need some extra shot in the butt and even some IV just in case some animal disease.
The three kids was staring at our nanny did not know what to do, neither did our nanny...then she made the silliest decission ever--she took us on a really long circle hoping my cousin's hair will grow back a little bit before arrived home so that parents will not find it out. She knew our parents will be so piss off when seeing this. But we did not know about that, all we knew was we were going home and the trips seems a bit long, but it doesn't matter cuz we played all the way back.
Of course my cousin's hair did not make any progress when we got back so our nanny had to tell the truth. The adults were not so angry though, no serious injury anyway so they just started laughing at my cousin for being naughty and silly... That's pretty much the story, we still make fun of my cousin with that story now.
Well guess we are still at the zoo in Nanjing, but I'm a bit tired now, wrote too much today. and that's pretty much the visit. If you haven't been there yet and you are still in Nanjing, you should definitely go! The smell of animal would not even be so bad if you take your date with ya!

致范范
作为我们铁三角中最理智,思想最成熟,最富女人味的一角,在你离开中国前往西班牙(当然还要途经浪漫的巴黎)之际,我觉得相当有必要为你献上一篇文章.为我们的多年友谊,为今后我们美好的未来!
我们的友谊从高2开始.当我和梦瘪每天只为打闹疯癫忙碌的时候,因为共同的兴趣,范范加入了我们--当然,我所说的共同兴趣不是前面所指的'打闹疯癫',而是英语,这个我们当时都极度狂热的一门语言.从此之后,班上英语老大的宝座被我们几个轮流着坐.
此外,msn上结交外国帅哥的是我们业余生活中重要的一部分,交流经验更是必不可少.这也是范范和现男友罗曼史的开始,然后就是现在前往西班牙开始新生活.中间虽然有很多波折和困难,但是他们一直走到了现在.
进入大学后,每学期暑假的聚会总是能让我们3人疯的那么彻底.虽然次晚上12点都会有父母的追魂夺命call, 但是疯到深夜是我们不变的聚会守则.一学期一次,发现范范想问题总会比我和梦瘪这两个恁人想的深入和全面.每次都是在她的引导之下得到大彻大悟....
4年下来范范可算是我最最坚强的经济援助者,没钱了就无耻的跟范范借. 为什么她的总是有钱借给我呢?这就要引申到范范的另外一个优点了--无比精明的经济头脑.兼职+超强的理财能力,使得她从父母那拿的钱比我少的多,但是经济上却比我宽裕.难以想象她在念完西班牙的课程后会变成什么样...
还有, 那一次(或几次)"水仙姐姐"之夜让人难忘,难忘那晚的好时光,更难忘她在我脸上化的妆--也不怪她,毕竟没有化单眼皮的经验. 还有一次次亮记螺丝,一次次香港奶茶,一次次龟苓膏,一次次游戏城,一次次五星街上的闲逛...我们不会厌倦,因为柳州有我们的根,有我们共同的过去和回忆,即使我们现在每个人都在别处.
祝瘪一切都好! 遇到困难要坚强,要常常笑,要珍爱自己,要好好的...

外面
外面,这个词在我看来是那么近,又那么远.
最近身边的朋友一个个的离开了家乡前往另外的国度,真是为他们高兴.对于很多中国人来说,'出去'总是有那么多的手续要办,那么多的困难要解决.在技术发达,人民生活日益变好的今天,即使只是出去看看,对于普通中国人来说也那么的不容易.
外面的世界不见得不国内好上多少,但是一定会很不一样.为了一直以来所拥有的环游世界的梦想,我要像一个永不停步的小蜗牛,一步,一步,一步爬....总有一天会看到外面的那一缕阳光,即使它没有想象中的没好,却一定会因为自己的努力而变得很不一样...
