好 特别的一天,一年前的今天我从西部回来，一年后的今天是要到纽约了，而且都是毛毛雨。。
终于来得了这个陌生的地方，从飞机上看buffalo就有点放心，感觉没选错地方，不会像fargo这样一大片的农地，也不会像washington DC 太多高楼大厦， 可算是大城市中的乡村。。
但是到了住的地方，心中忽然涌起好多疑问和恐惧，这么那么getto?! 不会吧。。。尤其是去一家邻近的便利商店，好多人用奇怪的眼神看我！ 渐渐觉得越来越没安全感。。渐渐觉得与世隔绝。。渐渐脑海中浮现枪杀命案场景。。。走着走着，感觉好像迷路了，我记得没经过警局阿！！不管了，进去问再说，那个女警好好人！告诉我好多附近的情况，其实只是看起来蛮不错。。不过还是惊心胆跳！屋主也蛮好人，带我见识附近有什么店的。。不过真是气死人！说学校走路１０分钟，我看是开车吧！　想不到住的地方离学校一个 mile!
>< 今晚打了3通电话，第一通给老爸，感觉有变好点，可是还是蛮担心，就接着打给adrian,那时真的好希望立刻飞到city去找他。。第三通打回给maggie,但后来和雨容谈了大部分的天。。此时感觉好多了， 结果我用了将近1小时在电话上。。不过幸好值得！
趁还没忘记，要在这里感谢几个人：
Steven　：这个朋友没话说，如果没有他可能整个暑假都在搬家，免费给我住，又帮我很多！　真的莫齿难忘！感恩感恩！！
Ada：因为一句话点醒我的人，在 buffalo　念书的一个目标就是要变得稳重！！希望回去会变得更好吧！
Tim　：没有他可能就不会再打篮球和其他运动吧。。哈哈，还有帮我省了luggage surplus fees!
Maggie：也帮了好多，没有他可能还没到buffalo皱纹和白发会多了几条,还有帮我找到了方文山的诗集：中国风！ 看完之后真是五体投地的书，原来歌词可以那么写的！
Cyndi aka Rong Rong : 让我想起我那两个可爱的干妹！让我暂时又有干哥的感觉！但然还会帮我预购台湾版的杰伦新专辑！

当然还有全部我没说出名字的朋友！　谢谢啦~明年见！

天平座又如何？！

最近的生活真是哭笑不得
又看到一篇说天平男生如果是处于单身被形容暴珍天物
看到整个人无语了十分钟。。
难道不想开始新的恋情也是一种错？！

最近的生活还是哭笑不得
被射了三箭，又被插了两刀
一问道是天平就说有多花心
还说天平不可靠
还说天平男就是靠脸吃饭的小白脸
听了又是无语了十分钟。。
难道生在天平里就是一种错？

最近的生活更是哭笑不得
无论做什么都有误会
做什么都是我的错
认真的男人最美丽
但太认真的男人也最忧郁
有时还真想哭泣。。

没想过爱错一次也会伤心一世
没想到喜欢上新钱包的时候，也是旧钱包回来的时候
没想到世界是如此的大，也是如此小的恐怖
没想到遇见一个人很容易，忘记一个人超难！

如果遇见你是一场缘分，那离开你就是一场考验！

Duluth trip

一直听说Duluth 是个美丽的城市，虽然离这儿不远，大约4个小时吧，在美国是酱咯，尤其这个地方，无论到那个景点或大城市都要最少3个小时。。去Duluth还蛮临时的，maggie , steven 和台湾来的雨容，在取得前一晚才开始找房间和租车。
可以算是有史以来最难找hotel的一次，我们差不多打完所有在duluth的旅馆，竟然只有一间有房间，而且比起平时还蛮贵，原来我们来对时间，第二天是哪儿一年一度的Lake Superior Day, 庆祝全世界最大的淡水湖。。那个哪像湖阿，根本是海嘛！不过是淡水的海，也没有沙滩和美女。。哈哈
我们租的车可神气了，车牌是Hawaii.！！ 好多经过我们车的人都问，你们怎样把车送过海的阿？那两天真觉得我们是从Hawaii 来的！之前因一位朋友而蛮常去 Dairy Queen，所以一路上我都在吃冰，最经典的还是当我们在等10分钟火车时，我为了冰而跑过去了，后面车里的人都有点吓到。。哈哈。。没办法，连名字都有彬（冰）注定和冰淇淋在一起了，还记得婆婆说我开始说话的时候， 就一直在说ice cream..-.-“
Lake superior 有一个出名的灯塔，从灯塔往下去真的好美，这个正是2天旅游的好地方，带着平静的心灵回去。。。。一路上我们的台湾美眉听到SHE歌时就禁不止禁就伴唱了，我还录了整整一段的歌！
Duluth完后又要开始工作，老板说每天要做12小时，但这4天只有一天是做满12小时，可能运气好吧，有时还好的可怕。。有两天竟然比平时找放2 个小时， 有一天还因为机器故障而白赚4个小时的工资， 就说有天提早放工，学校有人打来说再到不见两个月的钱包，之后又要去邮局，还要到银行，要在关门时做完全不是不可能的，我还已经决定找一天提早放工，每次放工后已经是傍晚了。。但不可能的事还是发生了，我不但全部都准时做到，过程还找超顺利的！　运气好到不信！我自认从小到大运气从不在我这里，而且每当好运来临时，倒霉事就会接二连三地发生。。。

Anyway,过的平安就心满意足了！

钱包的故事

上两个月不见了心爱的钱包，心爱因为里面有很重要 ，珍贵的照片，还有很多无法取代的东西。遗失的时候，心痛好几天， 每天上完课就往遗失的地方 ，希望有奇迹出现。几乎所有的教授，所有在Science Building 的工作人员都问过了。。每天希望明天会找到，在那一个月内坚持不买新的钱包，宁愿用一个又旧又破的钱包代替 。。最终还是找不到，伤心失望也没用了，该做的还是该要做，竟亮找回钱包里面的代替品。。
去到Orlando 的American Eagle 时，看到一个顺眼的钱包，决定是时候用新的了。。从买到现在都很满意这个钱包，方便轻盈又有淡淡的香水味。。虽然看起来很少年的钱包， 但还是很满意。。。
昨天，忽然收到一通电话，学校的一个部门打来说找到遗失两个月的钱包了，我正的高兴得跳起来！ 拿到的时候，表面虽然很冷静，但心里还是很兴奋，一直和他道谢。。里面果然一样东西也没少。。但在一秒后，忽然觉得对那个钱包感觉不一样了。。现在问题来了， 我该用哪个钱包呢？
我因这个钱包而曾心痛不已，以为失去了不会回来。。如果我在一次不见，那不是要心痛多一次？ 朋友说干脆把它收到一个地方，继续用新的钱包。。此时矛盾的要命！ 用久的话感觉对新的钱包过意不去。。但旧的现在又回来了。。。

感觉好像Forgetting Sarah Marshall 里的男主角，当和新的女友一起时前任又回来了 。。现在是钱包，那以后会不会有遇到同一个问题？而且是。。。。
想得好久，决定用回旧的，但今天一阵天都感觉好怪，开始想念新的钱包 =（
再看如何办吧。。。

endless day

without a job, life is too bored and too much time...
but when get a job, especially this job.... now really dont have time to do anything besides fight for the sleeping time.. 无论如何，还是觉得蛮幸运的， 工资不错，现在又觉得可以安心得花钱了，不过还是过着穷人的生活。。大部分时间到Macdonald's..够便宜嘛！不然就是其他 dollar menu。。感觉蛮不错的！哈哈

开工的第二天， 受伤的伤痕已多了五条， 作这分工被纸割上已见怪不怪， 手指头的血不管留再多也不想洗了，反正可能五分钟后另一到伤口又会出现。。算算一下，总共不少过20条疤痕吧。。。

最精放工后又打球，虽然有一点累，不过还是蛮充实的！

Work wORK!!

Just after came back from Miami, I've been dealing with the house and other stuffs again, especially dealing about house in New York, but anyway, this always been a damn small world, I was chilled with one of my best lad for 4th of July, at MSUM thou, there are fireworks at night by the way, anyway... he told me he was going to quit the job after few days later and I welcomed to take over his place...

well, its off campus job but as you know..if you have some connections, it would be not a bad idea to work illegally... and the shocking news was some of my Viet friends working there as well!!!

Look, my bud is from Ethopia, and MSUM, there are no other ways he can know them who came from Viet and NDSU....so this city is way too small!! everyone knows eveyone...

anyway, after I been to the interview at the factory, the boss told me to start the next day... oh ya, its a paper printing factory called knight priting, basically just print out the elementary books ordered from all over America.
I working at the punching department..ahhh...not that hard job actually, just put the books at the punching machine and take it out while its done, and put them back again.. paid is kinda decent compare to my previous job, so far the highest paid! Its 8!! and I could get bonus if work on Sat.. HOWEVER!! the working time is kinda funny...6am to 4.30pm!!!!

yup..it means i need to wake up 5am everyday, before the sun comes out ( umm...sun came out at 4.45am during summer actually..haha) its kinda sleepy and tired for working 10 hours everyday, and 5 days a week atleast..

I glad to get this job although its kinda insane with the hours..but its the perfect time to get back my money that spent extra for the Florida trip. Hopefully I could earn as much as I can before head to New yORK.

I still remember a special day, 7/11, its friday...and last year this time it was my first time at LA. What freaks me out a little was i got a school from Rowland High, California!!! I think its the school just opposite Serena's house...hahha..small world huh..but I so use to this kind of things already... Since I met back Wan Xin from Wan Kee.. there is not a big world for me...

Its Sunday now, a day for me to relax...but this week I watched a lots of movies at night after work with some friends. A friend who came from Taiwan, Maggie's cousin!
I think we watched more than 8 movies, well..if you think I paid all of it then you wrong...smart people always get advantages from anything possibly.. We got one ticket and watched 2 movies... and most of the movies we watched are dollar movie, means movies are kinda go down before releasing DVD.

Life is so busy after work!!!!

untitled

在3个星期的行程中，因为每个人都没做足功课（老师在讲有没有在听，去玩当然也要准备嘛！）变成我要每天都留意哪里有什么好玩，久而久之且找回了学习的精神。。老实说，final之后一直没有学习动机，不是不想，但脑子且一直受不进新的知识。。但现在且变得开始很留意身边的东西， 感觉生活又变得好充实！！

Tips for Miami

As other trip, MUST ATLEAST plan for everything, everything
Get a GPS if possible, its very easy to get lost in the big cities, we still get lost sometimes even we do have one. Just a typical GPS is good enough; I realize the most expensive GPS doesn’t mean the best one.

Instead of lodging in area that close to Miami Beach, a.k.a south beach, I recommend staying in a city named Ft.Lauderdale. 20 miles away from Miami, but there are a lot of inns and suites along the beach, and the price is affordable. You can just go to the beach by yourself every morning if your friends are always get up 1pm.. Recommend trying out the seafood at the restaurant across the beach, the atmosphere is awesome if you dinning with a glass of majito, and some seafoods, looking at the beach and listening some Jazz.
Spend 30 minutes drive to Miami to look around for a day, esp South Beach. It’s worth to hang out especially by the evening. Miami Ink is one of the attractions in that area. Although it is small, tattoo shop, but you can see a lot of people busying taking pictures (duh.. it is a world-wide famous tattoo shop, just like Manchester United fans have to go Old Trafford one day)
Another place there is a lot of people taking picture are a private bungalow. I’m still finding out who is staying there, but for sure is FAMOUS person!

back to fargo

When we were driving up to North, I feel like the time and the sun really become crazier… like yesterday the sun was just going down at 10pm!! I miss the weather in Florida now, kinda like Malaysia… I mean, I am so used to guess the time by using the sun, I trained this few years ago, when I was playing basketball… I can tell when shall I stop playing and get back to Dinner… and I seldom go back home after 7pm… and most of the time was within the range of 10 minutes!!

Anyway, the weather also killing me, it was kinda chill and you can feel the cold already in the summer! Are you kidding me! It’s still summer man!
