Itchy feet


A pair of Tibetan-style earrings...

Tibet to me is so heavenly a piece of pure land...

A special kinda culture you might never know thoroughly but that doesn't bother a little to enjoy it...

The train will take you to feel the changing of height...
Every minute you are a little bit closer to the sky ...

Vegetation along side is changing...

You can find less and less oxygen...

But the scenery outside the window is more and more stirring....

The toothpaste in your luggage could "blast"....

You might sense the smell of vomit...

Anyway, that's a special kinda experience...

It's definitely one of my dream place...

I should get a rather strong body and go embark on the journey to Tibet...

First , let's bring about the journey next week to see rape flowers all over the mountains and plains in southern China :)

Expecting......

what to do first about a new language??


If you want to learn a language, the first thing you should do is what??


What i've been told to do first was to know how to say everything in my room...


But after several years, i know so many weird other things' name but still couldn't be able to name certain stuff i use everyday....


Sometimes it is easy to express your mind, but hard to even describe a tiny stuff....


The picture above was given by one of my french teacher, Rene(i've mentioned earlier)...


We were asked to know how to say every part of our bodies ( similiar to the point i mentioned at the beginning)....


He designed this funny cartoon himself and made it much more fun....


It's been kept for almost 3 years ( OMG, how could my french still be so rusty after THREE years??!!!)....


What lucky is, i could name every part of my body in french now.....^_*

But im still trying...
Waiting for one day...

Happy Women's Day......lol.......


dengzi, dongdong and me~

dongdong and me




hehe~~

what a sweet lady....



This hotpot restaurant is so hooooot!!! All is my carelessness, i didn't make a reservation as i never expect there could be sooooo many people~~ People waiting for a seat squeezed into every corner, the corridor , the stairs, even outside the bathrooms.....all you can see is hungry guys and running waiters....lol~~ i've brought so many friends there ( i actually could be a spokeman here)....as it is really good!!


But today, totally incredible....ahhhh, it's women's day!! March 8th...no wonder gathered so many guys.......they waited outside, playing chess and enjoyed the snacks offered by the restaurant....seemed so leisureful...but not us.... we want a seat right away.....it was at the moment we decided to give up and find another one..... it was our turn!!!!!


And finally, we enjoyed a wonderful meal and here you see the pictures above.....

A place where i shouldn't stay long



A place where i shouldn't stay long...

Wandering from the world to heaven...

Have no idea where my next meal is coming from...

But i'm on the way...

The moment i turned back...

A lot left behind...

But at least ...

I am on the way...

On the way...

To a dream place...

Who raises you up???

"YOU RAISE ME UP"

When i am down and my soul , so weary...
When troubles come and my heart burden be...
Then i am still and wait here in the silence...
Until you come and sit awhile with me...

There's no life- no life without its hunger...
Each restless heart bests so imperfectly...
But when you come i am filled with wonder....
Sometimes, I think i glimpse eternity...

You raise me up, so i can stand on the mountains...
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas...
I am strong , when i am on your shoulders...
You raise me up, to more than i can be....

每當悲傷飲泣,我的靈魂脆弱倦怠...
每當煩擾侵襲,我的心兒沉重不堪...
孤寂中我在這裏默默期待...
等著你翩然之而小坐傾談...
所有的生命都蘊含著欲望和不甘...
悸動的心在激蕩中跳動不安...
你的到來讓我充滿驚喜和期盼...
那一刻我分明看到永恆的燦爛...
在你的擎舉中,我立于群山之巔...
在你的鼓舞下,我劃過風口浪尖...
站在你的肩膀上,我從未如此強壯...
你支撐著我沖向自身難以企及的境界...

I appreciate this song a loooot ....not only because the dulcet lyrics, but the idea it got you, the feeling you've been tightly caught hold of...


Success is absolutely not the only yardstick of the quality of life. You once been raised up by someone? You once been loved and upheld even when you were down? Think those warm moment, " I will be there for you" might best read my mind now~~~~



I've gonna hit the hay now, have a nice day and night you all :)


Bonne nuit~~~

What my kids taught me......



Little Miss Gao spent a very nice day with her 18 kids...

We played pokers, learned how to shoot a basketball, sell & buy their favorite food, hide-and- seek, we kicked the shuttlecock, we shared pizza and lollipops.....

I found kids are as creative as you could imagine...

By the following exercise...

Here we've got 8 different words...

feet / meat / beef / sea / pea / bee / tree / tea ...

Please group them any way as you like...

The target answer is, divide them by the different monogram they have, one is /ea/, the other is /ee/...

And finally i got several funny answers...

1) Same with the target answer...
2) feet, meat, beef, tree/
sea, pea, bee, tea
( 1st group are all four-letter words while 2nd group are three-letter ones)
3) feet, meat, beef /
sea, pea, bea, tree, tea
( 1st group with monogram in the middle of each word while 2nd group at the end)

4)feet, pea,bee, tree,sea/
meat, beef, tea
( 1 st group are those live while 2nd group are those lifeless itself )

5) feet, meat , beef , pea , bee , tree /
sea, tea
( 1st group are solid stuff while 2nd group are liquid)

.........
.........
........

Kids are kids, we adults' imagination are drying up at every minute. We tend to think more sane, we filtrate every 'slim-chance' possibility, we rush to the point as quickly as directly as we can..

But on the way we rush at the goals we set beforehand, we get the speed but lose the joy :(

My french teachers

Remy, my schoolfellow and my first french teacher too:)
Quite funny a guy, say one day his bicycle broke down on his way to school, so he was late for class inevitably, the first word he rushed into the class breathlessly and told us was, ' the monthly bonus is gone..." lol~~
Rene, came from Le Mans, is an expert on arts (painting) in French, i like his chinese name a lot, which was given after the pronunciation of his french name, “海纳”, means 'all rivers run into sea', develop into
'A person is great when he can be tolerant and forgiving to many other people. ' He's quite good at freehand on the blackboard, vividly and easy to understand ( than those french words.....lol)


XavierGao, a half-native guy, fluent both in chinese and french, he's got loads of fun games to play with us on class. One day at the very beginning, he plays a 5 min audio and let us say the words we caught. French sounds like a language from another weird planet at that time, the only word i caught was 'la place de concorde' what i've read from the loney planet..but the beauty of this game was everybody caught a word,and when we said that out, we got 20 or more... petit a petit, l'oiseau fait son nid. ( every little helps)
Ywenn, he was the first french guy i talked to, on the first class, he wanted us to have a taste of how nice french was by making a rather long address( Gods knew what he was talking), but it was just like cast pearls before swine, not even a little reaction from we confused audience^_^
Mrs.Wang, the first lady who taught my french, a very gentle, soft, kind lady... but with a little bit Quebec accent after several years' study there :) i still remember one day she asked us to make sentences by using the word " Vieux/vieille", the one i made was" Si un jour je serai vieille, je voudrais vivre avec toi."( i still not sure whether the grammar is totally correct, but the meaning is there), she appreciated it a lot, saying it was like a poem :)


I miss you guys so much, miss the every minute we spent together, miss every word you taught me......it's been quite a long time, is everything okay?...........

3.02.2009

you understand me???



How could you put up with the torment you have to face a hateful, brainless,arrogant,esp. dumb guy for an incredible 60min !! 3600 seconds !! It's like a billion years to me...

But i still have to...

It's not his fault, he's a victim on a certain extent...though the idea " see him again? OVER MY DEAD BODY" pops up in my mind again and again...

But i know i couldn't give up...

He's just a kid at the very most. If we 'cast him away", there might well never be a day for him to find the coast and back to us. I don't wanna betray my original idea to be here, to be a teacher, i know clearly what i should insist, what i should stick to, im not a person with that great benevolence, but i know for sure every little helps, once i started ,i don't wanna drop it half way, moreover it's just a little kid...

For him, hatred and love and commiseration, interweaved, so complicated... i just wanna see any little change on him, then i know i gain after i pain...

I have to see him tomorrow, 3600 seconds, wish time passes quickly as possible.... thats what i should do ,what i should love to...

P.S, This HE is one subject involved in my current psychologic experiment.

when Libra meets AB



I'm a Libra with blood type AB....


Which is said to be a combine for artists....


Anyway...


I'm sociable but i need to be alone ever now and then...


I'm sane enough to know what i should do but pls never push me...


I'm quite sensitive, a mind-reader at whiles, but tend to veil myself unless to true friends....


I'm a good advisor but definitely a bad decision-maker...


I'm a dye-in-the-wood completist, though i dont wanna be that way...


I favor the corner places wherever i stay though i enjoy the momentary joy brought by the spotlight on the stage same as well...


I think much of details, a detail might say the success or ruin the whole...


I adore anything romantic but i'd rather lead a rational life...


That's me, a gal got all the qualities of Libra and blood type AB...



...

...


" L’harmoniseur

Gentil avec tous ceux qu’il rencontre. Peut maquiller son esprit. A un charme unique qui lui est propre. Créatif, énergique, et très sociable. Déteste être seul. Pacifique, généreux. Beau et très aimant. Galant. Capitule trop facilement. Procrastinateur. Très naif.

My first day back to school

?? see that? quite familiar a figure? ... my website from my roommate's machine...
Tomorrow'll be the reunion day for me and my 23 kids :) , but little MissGao still has no idea what should be done for the class... so see what, i've got my hands full to do some prep..... i'm seeing you tomorrow, my kids.....


Once a weird body-built expert said, as long as you could pinch any part of your up to 1cm, that means you need to get rid of this fat....??!!!!! Is he a mental to say so?? coz any part of my body can be pinched up to at least 1cm!!! ( so shame to say so...), except the forehead or some skin-and-bone part..... but anyway, i've piled up a nice bit of fat this winter....


Pants are usually a smart way to test whether i've gained any weight... you might be sensitive enough to sense the change ,but it is me who gains the weight , so i know quite well where it is and how serious the situation is :)
So another new semester's resolution will definitely be 'body-built'.... at least yoga or body balance training are not so hard to stick to .... when you see me next time, i want my span-new figure will blow your mind acutely ........



The time tells....

Spark inside the skull

The tragedy of life is that it ends too soon, but that we wait so long to begin it...

I always try to do the extra mile at work but my boss finds me and brings me back....

I know hard work never killed anyone, but why chance it??...

I pretend to work , they pretend to pay me....

If at first you don't succeed, redefine success...

Work fascinates me : i could sit and watch it for hours...

A babysitter is an teenager pretending to be an adult while the adults are out pretending to be teenagers...

Kids in the back seat cause accidents, accidents in the back seat cause kids....

A balanced diet is having as much dark chocolate as white...

Always borrow money from pessimists-- they never expect it back...

I have enough money for the rest of my life, as long as i pass away next week...

Always remember you are unique, just like everyone else...

Everyone knows what to do in life but they don't do what they know....

If you tell the truth , you don't have to remember anything....

It's better to remain silent and let people think you are stupid rather than speak and remove all doubt...

sports stars i was once pretty into......

Davenport, no need to say, a veteran tennis player esp. around 2000...i've been looked as a totally wack as i fan her a lot....have no idea what's wrong with her?? a little bit on the heavy side?? or seemingly as an old lady?? lol....
Tsonga, you might have no idea about him, he's a tennis rookie with both France and Congo descent....looks like a french Ali???? If even he was being played low upon by Thatcher's daughter who called him "golliwog", he said he was quite proud of the blood of African..... i love him!!!
The first guy, Satoru TERAO, a japanese short track speed skater, i could say for sure most of you might have not once noticed him, the skaters in his time were all retired but him......his figure would still magnetize me whenever on the rink:)
Rye Seung-min, though being called as the nightmare of the chinese players, i still fan him quite a lot....the devotion, the enthusiasm, the king spirit.... that's what i seek for , and also the bread-and-butter quality for a man...
Bingyu Wang, the team leader of chinese women curling, also the king spirit and the everlasting staidness inspired me.....
Uchimura Kohei , a japanese gymnast, a rookie as well, with a baby face and sweet smile, but with great ambitious as saying the future of japan gymnastics will be led by him !!!!
Liukin , lol, everybody know her, uh?? Her serenity and dignity have made her the focus of the spotlight not only her attractive appearance as being a knockout for many guys :)
Hua Tian, a 20-year-old boy who gave up the British nationality only to fight for china in the olympic games.....he is the most handsome guy on the way he seeks his dream....
Mikeal Chang, when i was little ,he was my idol... i begun to know what is called never gave up and what is persistence.... he's got married lately , good luch for him....
Shawn Johnson, quite famous uh?? so no need to say more about her, the self-confidence from her radiated the whole stadium wherever she goes....



I say i was once much into these guys, coz i got a lot from them which i treat as the precious quality i seek for all the time.... some of them are handsome, pretty while some are quite common, but they got all some certain quality that magnetizes me tightly, sometimes it is even hard to say what it is clearly but i know for sure this kinds spirit spurs me on from time to time..... and i am powerless to get rid of it....

They possess the stuff i don't have or say lack of, the stuff i dream of owning all the time.... the stuff i'll never get unless undertaking years of tough anneal..... but i feel nice or say fortunate as i know fairly what i want, the spirit will definitely impel me on the way lying ahead of me ..

You got an idol same as well??

2.16.2009

It's snowing!!!!






The first snow in this winter finally come... though a little bit soft ....


Skin on my face could always be the barometer of the air humidity, as i kept finding its dryness, i was even on the verge of being driven to sleep hugging a humidifier :0


Nothing special this week, the only sad thing was i'v got to back to school.... want to end days like that earlier while still fearing of opening the brand new page of life waiting forwardly......


Anyway, wherever you go, there you are..........

Trip to TJ

The inter-city train from BJ to TJ took altogether 30min and covered 113.544 km...it's too good to be true as the last time ( four years ago) it took me almost 2 hours to cover the same journey....the train speed kept at around 330km/h and got you a roomy space to stretch your legs ( that's the chief beauty of the train) ^_^

Typical architecture style in WuDaDao sightseeing street, altogether 22 roads with a total length of 17km and an area of 1.28 square kilometers....over 2000 garden-style villas built in 1920--30 by different countries :)

It's me and me and me who definitely added the beauty to this lovely city:)

2.08.2009

My 02-08-2009

The first trip in the National Theater, a concert of Johann Strauß's collection... many of my favorite tracks, you may all know like "Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka", "Kaiser-Walzer"......say that i could even be able to sense one subtle mistake in any measure, donnot need to take a great leap of imagination to see me having this skill, coz it's not due to my talent in music( i'm a big fat zero actually), but as a result of millions of touch, you're potty about its rhythm, listen to it a thousand time definitely won't bother you ^_*


Okay i must say sth about this pair of earrings, what you see actually are my 'affectionate' ones (a little bit high-sounding?), you know what, they practically are the first pair of earrings i bought myself!! But it was today , one of them went near to say goodbye to me!!

I found my seat in the concert hall, took off my coat and saw the concertmaster leading they all to attune, then all at once, my hand touched one ear by chance, no earring??!!! I felt in my bones that i wore it this morning, but where was it then ???? The concert is about to start in just 5 minutes, many guys came and went passing me, it was too hard to find it i knew...i took my coat to see if i could shake it off, but in vain...i almost took off my sweater to check whether it was in some corner( lol, not really, it just made me crazy...)


Then suddenly, when i looked down my seat, i saw them!!! They were lying on the floor quietly as having no idea what happened.... the moment i found them was just like the moment mum found the kid getting lost.... they looking at you gently as two babies in a cradle....no matter how much you love them was not enough....


lol, anyway, they were back, and i took this picture for them :) You probably think i am a mental to say all those above, but i lost one necklace i treasure sooo much two months ago and i know how you'll feel when you know it's impossible to see sth you love any longer :)

Okay let's call it a day..... wish the Fortune's wheel keep up favoring me and good luck you all :)
