Haven't updated my blog for some time, as far as I can remember. Because, there are lots of things going on lately, which made me a busy man, and I sort of like it, because I feel I am having a life. LOL~~There are some cool things that I have to mention here, as it's kind of historic. The first exciting thing is that I have managed to open a board on SJTU BBS--WesternMusic board. I can't imagine how much it means to me and other super fans of music on campus, so I think I have done a great job for not only myself, but more importanly, other music addicts. So the rest job would be keeping the board growing healthily, I hope it will be one of the hottest boards on BBS of SJTU!

Here is the link to that board:

It's from Red Hot Chili Pepper's Snow(hey oh)...I like this beat and melody quite much, so I want to share it with you...Hope you like it...:)

 

 

When I was a undergraduate student in college, I thought studying was the duty for every student who wanted to be a qualified one. When I was about to graduate, I thought studying is the means to an end. When I just entered my graduate school, I thought studying is obsolete, and life was full of fun and joy, or at least I should go to the laboratory instead of the classroom. But I gradually realise that studying is not just what I took for granted, it is something that can purify the soul. Living in this mundane world,  doing things impetuously, lack of pondering and consideration, I found I am becoming superficial and shallow. Seeing the freshmen on the campus, I found that I am not young any more, and I began to worry about my life and my future. What am I supposed to do so that I would not get left out, so that I could find a place for my own? I do not have an answer yet. I am a born worrier, and at the same time I am born optimist. I always have something to worry about, but I can always find something that can console myself so that I can stop the old worries, and find the new ones. I always feel that I am living a fairy tale, and there are always miracles. All I need to do is to wait, and I can get the pie from the sky. It sounds rediculous and naive, but this is what I have known about this world. The sad truth is that being passive can only let you down no matter what. We should not let things happen to us, we should make them happen. This is what I have learned and digested for a long time, and finally I accepted it. One person is just a little tiny sand on the vast, broad beach, and there are tons of thousands of sands out there. If you want to be outstanding, then you should have something outstanding to stand out. If you want to shine, then you must be able to shine. Every time I went to the classroom to study, I find it is bitter and tedious. But after I come out of the classroom, I find I am refreshed, and enriched in mind.

 

Admittedly, studying and keep on doing it are the purification of the soul. All the answers you are wondering just lie in the process...Never give up on it~~

I got Christina Aguilera's new CD-Back To Basics today, and I am very happy...I have waited for a long time for this...Never been better when I opened the envelop and took out the CD that I have been dreaming.

 

Keeping discreet! This is what I have learned during my 3 years in senior high, and I kept this norm during my 4 years in university, because I think this is the basic quality that everybody should have. But I guess things have changed a lot lately, because I am violating the norm that I promised myself to observe, and I am so back to the one I used to be in junior high--I have been doing things crazy on BBS, and I got my undesirable popularity! Yes, everybody who often logs on the BBS will know my IDs, or even know my names and how I look like...I tried my best to protect my privacy for a long time, but I did not know that I ruined it in just a moment. Maybe things are not too bad till now, still being discreet can save me from this mess. But I feel that at this moment, it's not me doing things. Devil? Hormone? Desire? I am not sure about this, but I think BBS is quite like an addiction to me, which is not a good sign. I was taught that learning how to control oneself is the way to anywhere you want to be, and it's obvious that I did not learn it well. It seems that I have realised what I have done, but from the very beginning I don't think what I am doing things might be offensive to somebody. Because what I have been telling myself to do is to have some fun, and if you feel uncomfortable or anything, you can just ignore the threads that I started. Well, if things were so easy, I would not bring them on my space to mention them. It seems that I have done too much, and things are little bit messed up. I am not such a person who knows how to apoligize quickly and honestly, so I think maybe the best I can do is to keep silent and wait till this heat is over. And I do hope there will not be any undesirable consequencies that nobody wants to see in the end. And I still hope everybody can enjoy what you got out there on BBS, you have the right to have fun, me too.

I always thought that my space is the place where I say anything I like, post any pics I prefer, and nobody will even notice this little world of my own. But I guess things are changing after I was threatened by some hooligan who said to post my pics on BBS. There can be anything happening if the person gets some popularity, even the least or not that desirable kind of. Once you are known to someone, and once you did something which might piss those off just a little bit, you will have trouble which might turn you down so much that you don't have the previous passion or inspiration to continue your way. Yes, I am considering if posting my pics on my space would be the smart idea. It is paradoxical that safety does not always come with individuality, because if you want to express yourself fully and freely, you are taking the risk of putting yourself in danger somehow, at least seeing some undesirable consequences. So we need to think thoroughly to make our decisions, but I really doubt if this internet which gives people the great convenience and speed would let us think twice before action. For most of the time, I think we are doing things following our instinct or the intuition on the internet, thus it is not surprising to see some consequences which might very well make us regret for a long time.

 

Well, as for the pics things, I won't take them back, because I think it is fun to post them on my space, and showing the real me to my readers. Whatever you think of me, and whoever you are, I am myself and I am so darn proud of who I am. I am unique, and so are you. As for the threatening things, I guess we need to be more discreet on the net sometimes to avoid the undesirable troubles...

 

Finally got back to my dorm! I really enjoyed my trip to the Lianyungang beach--it was awesome! Not just because I enjoyed the soft sand, mild sunshine and gentle waves, but also I was too high to find my glasses back, which was lost in the vast ocean--I was swimming in the sea, but I didn't even realize that my glasses have been lost, no wonder everything was so blurry through my naked eyes.

 

Yes, I have to get another pair of glasses when I am back. Another my favourite part was to have the sea food which I didn't even see on TV, I loved them ALL! Also, I met little squirrels and even fed them with bread on the Hua Guo Mountain. The little creaures are so cute and smart that I didn't want to leave them when it was getting really late on that day.

 

All in all, I think this journey was worth it when I sacrificed my precious time for this, and this experienced was unique and special. I arrived at Shanghai last night, and it took us 7 hours to get back. I hope I could go to the beach again next summer...
