I know I cannot stop the blizzard from paralyzing half China during Chinese New Year;

I cannot prevent the trains from crashing between Beijing and Qingdao;

I cannot bear the humiliation of the torch relay attacked abroad;

I cannot help being disgusted by the sovereignty sabotage from the western;

I cannot end the rain and floods in the south that have been killing more and more people;

Nor can I predict the devastating earthquake that claimed thousands of people's lives.

But I can cherish my own life enough to live on to contribute to build a better world...

Though I slept for just about 5 hours due to the noise from those little hamsters and the interruption of those disgusting mosquitoes coming out of nowhere because of the rain last night, I still rushed out of dorm in the early morning, forgetting my cellphone on the table. Thank god I finished breakfast, otherwise I would have worn out while running along the torch relay later. It was much more fun than I thought, and it was so exciting to see all of those red-hearted students and teachers. Of course I am one of them as well; damn proud of it. It was worth getting up early to observe the occurrence of history.

I'd like to take a big fat nap after this...hmmm...A piece of pizza and some milk tea afterwards would be nice...

Thought little about the dressing code before I played golf for the first time in my life, well, technically practiced golf. It's harder than I thought, and after several balls my palms were sore. Also it needs some techniques, otherwise the waist would suffer as well. It was a lot of fun, and I loved it. Considering the price for the membership which is at least about 1 million RMB, I don't even know when I can officially play golf on the green, and yet experiencing is already more important than being professional in this game for me.

We always walk a little bit after lunch around "Purple Pig" Buildings, since afternoon work will still be stressful. Last Friday, me and other people found a nice place for lunch walk. The shuttle takes 5 minutes to get there, and the view is nice. It's a little park beside the river, and everything seems to be quiet and fresh. We will surely go there later on after lunch...

It's a nice feeling to have a break from the things we are trying to do and the grief we are suffering. It's been 5 days, and the aftershocks are still there...The disastrous earthquake surely is a national disaster. I hope China will get through this soon...Bless...Thanks to those lovely volunteers, soldiers, doctors, nurses and the people who try to help and rescue those buried under the debris, we have the faith that China will stand up tall, and we will be ok. We salute you...

Thousands of aftershocks occurred after the major shock yesterday, worsening the surviving hope for those people buried underneath the rubble and stones. Reading the news and looking at those pictures from those areas, tears came down my cheeks...

God, please don't make it worse than it already is. Please bless the good people there. Please bless the heaven land...

I didn't know how precious weekends are until lately--It's the time for people to do things of their own. Thank god I didn't volunteer to do that job, otherwise I would've been to spend my whole weekend in the cubicle. Got up early in the morning and trying to get lazy while washing sheets and stuff, but a bad call totally made me crushed. What on earth did I do to deserve this? Do I really have a fate to be miserable? If I can do anything to save this, I would do anything for sure.

I hope to get better soon since working stuff has already handed down some pressure to me. I gradually begin to get to know what is going on in the new environment and hopefully I can find the comfort zone like I was having in SJTU as soon as possible. Also, my campus card was frozen by the admin, and I was quite helpless, since we could do nothing about that. So I have to pay 10% more money for the food in the refectory and I can no longer use the bathroom for shower in my dorm, which is a big issue for me. The school doesn't say anything to officially kick us out of the campus, and yet what they are doing is definitely harmful and unkind. But on second thought, if the school does not do anything to those people who should leave the campus, like they said, the interest of the students would be harmed, so that makes sense, and I am not upset about that. The thing is how much longer we can live here. We definitely hope as long as possible, because it's almost free to live in the dorm, but it's never going to happen. Based on what I know maybe the end of July, because after that new students would come to school. Of course, I am not going to stay that long, since it's not convenient any more. I will have to find a place to live. Darn, it's going to a big job.

Right now, I have six hamsters and five of them are really nice except one pain-in-the-ass. She is always upset and insecure about everything-the slightest sound and little move to her cage would make her paranoid and scream like a hysterical son of a bitch. I am sure that she had a bad childhood, and she still suffers from that bad experience. I have tried to make her feel comfortable and secure all the time, and yet it seems she never changes at all. Right now, I just wish I didn't take this one back to cause so much trouble to myself, but since she's under my protection, I am going to do my best. Thank god, a hamster can only live 2 years for the most.

I absolutely hope I could stay sensitive and insightful all the time, but making a living and every practical little thing are taking the toll on everybody. The real world and dreams are always so different that we just wish we could never wake up from the sweet dreams we had that night.

May Day used to be the 'Golden Week' before, but this year it's just a small 'Golden Week' in which you can still do lots of things. I was expecting that I might very well spend this time all by myself again until my classmates called me on May Day night, asking me if I could join them to go to Yandang Mountain in Zhejiang Province the next day. I accepted it without a second thought, since I didn't want to be like a lonely redneck countryman who could have died alone without letting anybody know in this little suffocating chamber. Basically I spent 12 hours on bus in the two-day trip, and the greatest things about this was I got the chance to cross Hangzhou Bay Bridge-the longest sea bridge in the world, which just started to let vehicles pass on May Day. It's about 35 km long, and the water aside is yellow. We saw lots of people stop on the high way bridge to take pictures, though we hoped we could do that as well, yet when we knew there were lots of accidents happened because of that wrong behaviors, we kind of laughed it off.
