12月10日 PREMIER--Love ya!昨天上二专课非常之兴奋，这学期有史以来第一次我们来了7个人，老毛又睡过了……唉，否则我们就破纪录了——8个人全到！！不过不管怎么说还是开心至极
 下午的影视编导我们来到了教育技术系的视听机房，太酷了！仿佛是为我们04级二专量身定做的一样，不多不少刚好8台电脑，超大宽屏液晶显示屏，各配一个音响，专门看大片用的，好爽啊！把他们系学生的DV作品欣赏了一番，我也好想拍个片子啊！回头和老毛商量一下，赶明我们班毕业的时候也拍一个，我们两个当摄影和后期制作，哈~
 PREMIER还是挺复杂的，编辑出来的效果相当好，嗯嗯，学好了买个DV自己拍片子~
 PS.早上在校车上和师兄一起来的，聊得好开心啊，哦呵呵，又传授了不少师傅的“绝招”：P 12月5日 Torture-INGThe GRE vocabulary is killing me!!!
I've never tried to learn words in this way---holding 红宝书 and reciting all the vocabury in it without knowing how to use it? Mission impossible!
Calm down, I'll find a way........, I suppose reciting the dictionary would be a better choice
 ///The trioWilliam, Hermione and I did our homework together this evening.(this Hermione is Hermione Chao ,I suggested this name to her because I miss my Hermione back home:P) The feeling was absolutely fantastic! I kind of felt like we were Hermione, Ron and Harry working together in the common room
 . Cool job !调查报告ing 开始准备大夏杯的论文，本来就我和波波，这周牛牛也被拉过来了，嗯，现在三个人，感觉刚刚好，搭配也挺合适的，效率会提高些滴。高宝宝和fishee也在做调查报告，我们那天一道去找华俊老师，她很灵的^_^,给我们讲了很多金融系的轶事，太可爱了，唉，我真是对不住她，社经统考的那么差，往事不堪回首……
教学评估这一折腾，把我们本来的写作计划给打乱了，老师们为了忙评估没空搭理我们，需要下礼拜之后才能给详细指导，所以到高校发放问卷的时间也要后推了，1月27日放了假还学要在学校待上一周写论文。这两天正跟小牛谋划着一起坐飞机回去，奢侈一记……，据说传说听说用信用卡买机票可以便宜好多，也许先飞到天津再坐回北京比直接坐火车还便宜……佳佳已经弃我而去，表示考完试就闪人，一分钟也不多待，我只能节哀…… 估计Boulder也不会那么晚回的，Hmm....不想一个人,所以觉得和小牛一道也不错。
今年的寒假会很充实的：）相信过了寒假一切都会变得更好的！
11月26日 Only HopeThere's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write Over and over again I'm awake in the infinite cold Would you sing to me Over and over and over again? So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope Sing to me the song of the stars Of your galaxy dancing and laughing and laughing again When it feels like my dreams are so far Sing to me all the plans that you have for me Over again So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope I gave my destiny I'll give you all of me I want your symphony Singing in all that I am At the top of my lungs I'm giving it love So I lay my head back down And I lift my hands and pray To be only yours I pray to be only yours I pray to be only yours I know now you're my only hope ----the theme song from A Walk to Remember, a song that touches....
11月23日 A wet-through thanksgivingThe rain never stops.......might be more than a week now , bet it's going to be longer.... Today the rain started with a drizzle but developed into "cats and dogs" when I came back after school, which made me soaked to the bone. The one interesting thing about the winter rain in Shanghai is that the umbrella never prove to be useful, the wind blew so savagely that you couldn't even hold it. However, the sweet thanksgiving blessings from friends warmed me up in no second Happy thanksgiving all my dear friends, thank you for being my great pals!
11月17日 Typical rainy days again I should have know it earlier
that this year would be no exceptional....
It's raining again
Winter visits us every year
with a big big drizzle
as if it's a present
here comes the rain
here comes our wet winter....
11月12日 Tennis Masters Cup Shanghai 2006 Today is the first day of Tennis Masters Cup in Shanghai and I went to watch the games with Ann and some boys from our class. We had great fun watching Federer VS Nalbandian and Roddick VS Ljubicic , especially the latter one! Here are some pics to share with you in the album! 11月11日 Random Walk down old campus The weather changed drastically these days and suddenly another winter is to come around the corner.
As I was wandering in the old campus today with my pal after minor major, watching all the yellow leaves falling down with the whispering wind, I suddenly felt a strange sensation of uncertainty. Looking up into the gloomy day, huge dark clouds were hoving overhead, how long was it going to last?
More than two years ago we also went down the roads , naive as we were, life was so full of joy and laughters, simple as much as it could be. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so. Nothing could be more appropriate to depict my innerheart right now, right then.
However, such is life. To live means to operate, so you have to be responsible for your shareholders, your friends , your family ,yourselve all have shares in your life and they have expectations, different expectations. So to be a wise CFO, you have to banlance them and create the maximum value for them and also for yourself. It's a universial truth that with high profits come high risks. Risks are inevitable and uncertainty thus comes along. It's like gamble but it's not, because you are not a speculator of your life but a investor. So are your friends and family. Rational expectations will help you there: an optimistic expectation will lead to appreciation and a pessimistic one inducing depreciation of the market value. Often times, values are volatile because human beings are so very easily affected by changing markets that their expectations float with all the other individuals on the market. However, if your friends and your family hold your shares in tough times and never dump them to others, why should you do this?
Likewise, I'm an ambitious investor and I intilled a lot of shares in you, no matter how bleak the future might seem, the shareholders of your life will never let you down. So please don't let them down. The road between where you once were and who you're now becoming is the dance of your life really takes place.
(In memory of the random walk down old campus on this winter day and to all my Friends  )11月10日 Financial Economics----fascinating group work! Mid-term crisis is going on here.....loads of deadlines to meet these weeks.....One of the most challenging is no doubt Financial Economics, but it turned out to be a lot of fun
Financial Economics is the most difficult one I've ever encountered in college (still more to come in the next semester e.g. Finacial Engineering) 'cause it's kind of a mixture of Investments, Corperate Finance and Micro-Economics including an awful lot of calculations. However yesterday we had a very interesting test for mid-term exam----Work in teams to solve problems using CAPM model and relating theories.
Our team included 6 members who are Ann, Bobo, Xiao, Yang, Little Cow and I. (We are lucky to have 3 boys in the team which is properly proportion in an unproporton class :P) Ok, 6 problems by the end of the class. You can imagine the atmosphere when the teacher announced the problems in class, every group was intense, and here we go, discuss, laugh, argue, revise, debate, and Bingo, we made it!
I never expect this course could be fun in any perspective
 ,but... maybe I'm wrong Good luck on all your mid-term exams
Cheers! 10月27日 Sunshine in a gloomy dayLast Friday I registered for the designated campus qualifying contest for the Twelfth "21st Century . Lenovo Cup" National English Speaking Competition and the topic was "Civilized Behavior: learning to act with a proper sense of honor and shame". On the evening of Friday while I was spending my weekend with R&S in Chong Ming Island, I got a telephone interview and passed on to take the semi-final on Tuesday. The semi-final was impossible to prepare since you had to deliver an impromptu speech and you wouldn't know the topic beforehand. As I found out on Tuesday that Bonnie was also going to compete in this contest, and of course there were my Senior friends Xiao Yue & Jun Hao. It was such bad luch that I drew the lot and I was the last one to perform which meant I couldn't enjoy other's speeches. My topic turned out to be "What is your view about the public display of affection?". At the first glance, I couldn't understand it quite clearly, I wasn't sure if it refer to the affection between couples or a broader meaning of affection. So I began with an example of a boy showing his love to a girl , then went on to talk about affection for stars and so on. After the contest as I found out, PDF, public display of affection just means to show love or confess in public. Even though my speech was a little irrelevant, I made it to the final contest which was on Thursday! I got frustrated about the final topic "Civilized Behavior " and I began to send e-mails to friends for help in hope of finding some new ideas. It was on Thursday morning I finished my draft and started to recite it. However as 6 o'clock was drawing near, I grew more and more nervous. The whole contest was very formal and very well organised, only 9 contestants got to the final one and I bet all of them were experts in speech contest. I was No.4 and this time I got the chance to enjoy the 5 speaker's wonderful performance after mine. I was nervous, nervous and nervous and I put the microphone too close to my mouth which made a lot of "pooo" sounds and my speech was errr... not very well structured maybe, anyway I'm trying to say that I end up with a third prize and I was feeling blue yesterday.... Xiao Yue shared her story of her experience when competing for "Hope Star" in CCTV and how she failed to go to the final one and how she cried and cried and cried, because it was her dream to take part in that contest since high school. I dreamt of being a motivational speaker too. Back in highschool I had such dreams, I took part in competitions but I never went any further. Ms.Li had faith in me and it was my high school buddies' long-time encouragement which made me confident over the years. Back in high school I use to think I was noboday and I couldn't be anyboday. However if your friends had faith in you, how could you possibly disappoint them? So I went on, biding my time for a chance that I could deliver a real formal speech. And I got this chance which came so suddenly and unexpectedly last Friday. Once again I had doubts, feeling lost and hopeless. Why am I always nervous? Why am I always scared? When I was the MC in Jane's lunch I really had loads of butterflies in the stomach and this time again speaking on the stage. Is it a lack of experience or ability? I'm trying to confront myself, so even though I failed and failed and failed, I'd still like to try one more time. But I have a subtle feeling that I've made no improvements. A gloomy day with a gloomy mood...... when I came back to the dorm everyone was there, Ann, Bobo, Crystal, Yanhua, Xinyu and they poured me Spikes and proposed a toast for my performance. I was wordless with a lot of mixed feelings, then Wendy (who lent me her beautiful purple T-shirt for the contest)came and consoled me on seeing my pale complexion. A familiar song rose in my heart and it haunted me on and on: " You are my shine, my only sunshine, It's my life but not only mine. I should feel shameful to keep gloomy 'cause that way I'm again disappointing everyone around me. I feel so lucky to have friends by my side whenever I'm experiencing hard times. Thank Coral for her brilliant ideas on my draft, thank Hermione for her sweet SMS before the contest, thank George for discussing the key problems with me late into the night, thank Ann and Bobo for giving me the greatest support during this period, thank Crystal, Xiao Niu, Hai Yan, Xiangxiang etc. for being a great audience, thank Norman his consolations, thank Bonnie for being a great companion and a worthy opponent, thank Xiao Yue for sharing her experience and her advice with me! Don't frown because it's over, SMILE because it happened
10月22日 Dr. Jane Goodall's visit in Shanghai For a month and a half I had been preparing this Vegetarian Appreciation Lunch and at last Jane arrived! Everything just went pretty well on Oct. 19th , except that I got bloody nervous being the MC... Anyway I made it somhow:) Thrilled to see friends from ALCOA that day, pity I couldn't spare much time to talk to them. Even more thrilled to acquaint Cherry, a girl with big charming eyes
 , also an ECNU Junior student majoring Ecology in Min Hang Campus!!! This Friday I got this really nice chance to Chong Ming Island with Roots&Shoots and I met many volunteers I didn't know before. It was marvelous! That night during the workshop, I met members from Beijing R&S and I even met a student and a teacher from Wen Hui Junior High! I was so joyful even though I actually had nothing to do with Wen Hui:P The next day (which is actually yestersday) was thrilling and adventurous . I was in the Shoots Team which was led by Rebecca and we went to the Organic Farm first . Everybody was wet through during the game but we all laughed out loud
 . After a brief lunch, we went on to the swamp. Cherry told me some of the teachers in ECNU were doing research there and we got very excited . In this unique experience, I also came to know Jiao Xue, a very clever girl and a very hard-working volunteer; Vince, a boy I met the day previously during the lunch but became friends the day after. Liu Tong, whom I knew before ; Wang Xiangdao,who talks very funny; Wang Yan Pin, a serene girl , very moderate; and many others…… Thank all the volunteers who helped me in this unforgettable trip to Chong Ming Island, it was so brilliant to meet you guys !!!  Welcom to my Chamber! I've been thinking about starting my own blog for ages and finally I make up my mind to create a sweet little "chamber" to pour in some fragments of my life and also for all my dear friends to drop in occasionally (just in case they wonder if I disappear magically:P)
One of my pal's motto is 'Today is a gift and that's why we call it "present"' and I coulnd't agree more. Each day is so very precious but sadly it always passes so fast. I suppose the only thing I could do to make it worth living is to start the day with a broad smile on the face and savor every minute, most importantly at the end of the day I would spare some time to ponder how I spent just another precious "present". These reflections are tiny but they are so very real and I truly believe they'll attract many more from my dear friends, maybe someday I 'll find them enlightening......
Welcom to my chamber! |
