Adiós, amigo

My dear friends:

      I will be "leaving on a jet plane" in a few days. Before I take off and slip away, I want to say something to you guys in case I forget in the last moment.

      For the 5 years in United States, knowing you and being your friends is the one of the most important memories in my life. We have experiences that other people have never been through, we have difficulties others would never think of, we have loniless that they will never understand. We could've backed off, we could've withdrawed, we could've surrendered. But we didn't. We prove something to others that we are capable of facing any challanges, and we can do it.

      I am so proud of us being together helping each other in these years. Maybe years later, when we see each other again, we still can say his or her name loudly and give him or her a warm handshake and a hug. Maybe we will tell somebody our stories, our victories and our embarrased moments. Lol. The best time belongs to us.

      It's a pity that I couldn't continue to have fun with you guys but I believe we will always keep in touch 'cause we are buddies. It would such a great honor that years pass by and you still remember me as a friend. I wish you all well no matter what business you are in to, and I looking forward to meet you again in the near future.

Many wishes, tons of them.

My first laptop

Watch yourself! I just got myself a new laptop. It's a Compaq Presario v2555US with 15' widescreen. I went to the local Staples store to check the prices and brands for laptops. As soon as I saw this laptop's price and specifications, I immediately decided to buy it. This laptop is not on sale, and there is not rebate on it. For $629, this is a laptop I can afford and be pleased with.
 
PROs: Nice looks, light weight, comfortable on keyboard and touchpad, a button to switch on/off wireless, widescreen good for movies, no dead pixel on LCD screen
 
CONs: only two USB port and no IEEE 1394 port is not enough for future equipment updates, speaker not as good as I think for a Altec Lancing (most laptop doesn't equip good speakers except those for entertainment and games), DVD/CDRW drive does not close firmly, 4200RPM is not good enough but I am going to buy an external harddrive anyway.

还君明珠双泪垂 恨不相逢未嫁时

世界上只有两种可以称之为浪漫的情感
一种叫相濡以沫,另一种叫相忘于江湖
我们要做的是争取和最爱的人相濡以沫
和最爱的人相忘于江湖
 
也许不是不曾心动,
不是没有可能,
只是有缘无份,
情深缘浅,
我们爱在不对的时间。
回首往事的时候,  
想起那些如流星般划过生命的爱情,
我们常常会把彼此的错过归咎为缘份,
其实说到底,
缘份是那么虚幻抽象的一个概念,
真正影响我们的,
往往就是那一时三刻相遇与相爱的时机。
男女之间的交往,
充满了犹疑忐忑的不确定与欲言又止的矜持,
一个小小的变数,
就可以完全改变选择的方向。
 
如果我出现早一点,
也许你就不会和另一个人十指紧扣;
又或者相遇的再晚一点,
晚到两个人在各自的爱情经历中慢慢地学会了包容与体谅,善待和妥协,
也许走到一起的时候,
就不会那么轻易的放弃,
任性地转身,
放走了爱情。
 
在你最美丽的时候,
你遇见了谁?
在你深爱一个人的时候,
谁又陪在你身边?
爱情到底给了你多少时间?
去相遇与分离,
去选择与后悔?
不是不心动,
不是不后悔,
但已经没有时间再去相拥。
如果爱一个人而无法在一起;
相爱却无法在适当的时候相遇;
如果爱了,
却爱在不对的时候,
除了珍藏那一滴心底的泪,
无言的走远,
又能有什么选择?
 
要在时间的荒野,
没有早一步也没有晚一步,
于千万人之中,
去邂逅自己的爱人,
那是太难得的缘份,
更多的时候,
我们只是在彼此不断地错过,
错过杨花飘风的春;
又错过了枫叶瑟索的秋,
直到漫天白雪,
年华不再,
在一次次的心酸感叹之后,
才能终于了解
——即使真挚,即使亲密,即使两个人都已是心有戚戚,
我们的爱,
依然需要时间来成全和考验。
这世界有着太多的这样那样的限制与隐秘的禁忌,
又有太多难以预测的变故和身不由已的离合,
一个转身,
也许就已经一辈子错过,
要到很多年以后,
才会参透所有的争取与努力,
也许还抵不过命运开的一个玩笑。
上帝只在云端眨了一眨眼,
所有的结局,
就都已经完全改变。

人生的12个经典悟语(转载)

1、父子二人经过五星级饭店门口,看到一辆十分豪华的进口轿车。儿子不屑地对他的父亲说:「坐这种车的人,肚子里一定没有学问!」父亲则轻描淡写地回答:「说这种话的人,口袋里一定没有钱!」
   (注:你对事情的看法,是不是也反映出你内心真正的态度?)
  
    2、晚饭后,母亲和女儿一块儿洗碗盘,父亲和儿子在客厅看电视。突然,厨房里传来打破盘子的响声,然后一片沉寂。是儿子望着他父亲,说道:「一定是妈妈打破的。」「你怎么知道?」「她没有骂人。」
  
  
    (注:我们习惯以不同的标准来看人看己,以致往往是责人以严,待己以宽。)
  
  
    3、有两个台湾观光团到日本伊豆半岛旅游,路况很坏,到处都是坑洞。其中一位导游连声抱歉,说路面简直像麻子一样。说而另一个导游却诗意盎然地对游客说:诸位先生女士,我们现在走的这条道路,正是赫赫有名的伊豆迷人酒窝大道。」
  
  
    (注:虽是同样的情况,然而不同的意念,就会产生不同的态度。思想是何等奇妙的事,如何去想,决定权在你。)
  
  
    4、同样是小学三年级的学生,在作文中说他们将来的志愿是当小丑。中国的老师斥之为:「胸无大志,孺子不可教也!」带外国的老师则会说:「愿你把欢笑带给全世界!」
  
  
    (注:身为长辈的我们,不但容易要求多于鼓励,更狭窄的界定了成功的定义。)
  
  
    5、在故宫博物院中,有一个太太不耐烦地对她先生说:「我说你为甚么走得这么慢。原来你老是停下来看这些东西。」
  
  
    (注:有人只知道在人生的道路上狂奔,结果失去了观看两旁美丽花朵的机会。)
  
  
    6、妻子正在厨房炒菜。丈夫在她旁边一直唠叨不停:慢些。小心!火太大了。赶快把鱼翻过来。快铲起来,油放太多了!把豆腐整平一下!「哎厎」妻子脱口而出,「我懂得怎样炒菜。」「你当然懂,太太,」丈夫平静地答道:「我只是要让你知道,我在开车时,你在旁边喋喋不休,我的感觉如何。」
  
  
    (注:学会体谅他人并不困难,只要你愿意认真地站在对方的角度和立场看问题。)
  
  
    7、理由充份
  
  
    一辆载满乘客的公共汽车沿着下坡路快速前进着,有一个人後面紧紧地追赶着这辆车子。一个乘客从车窗中伸出头来对追车子的人说:“老兄!算啦,你追不上的!”“我必须追上它,”这人气喘吁吁地说:“我是这辆车的司机!”
  
  
    (注:有些人必须非常认真努力,因为不这样的话,後果就十分悲惨了!然而也正因为必须全力以赴,潜在的本能和不为人知的特质终将充份展现出来。)
  
  
    8、原来如此
  
  
    甲:「新搬来的邻居好可恶,昨天晚上三更半夜、夜深人静之时然跑来猛按我家的门铃。」乙:「的确可恶!你有没有马上报警?」甲:「没有。我当他们是疯子,继续吹我的小喇叭。」
  
  
    (事出必有因,如果能先看到自己的不是,答案就会不一样在你面对冲突和争执时,先想一想是否心中有亏,或许很快就能释怀了。)
  
  
    9、误会
  
  
    某日,张三在山间小路开车,正当他悠哉地欣赏美丽风景时,突然迎面开来一辆货车,而且满囗黑牙的司机还摇下窗户对他大骂一声:“猪!”
  
  
    张三越想越纳闷,也越想越气,於是他也摇下车窗回头大骂:“你才是猪!”
  
  
    才刚骂完,他便迎头撞上一群过马路的猪。
  
  
    (不要错误的诠释别人的好意,那只会让自己吃亏,并且使别人受辱。在不明所以之前,先学会按捺情绪,耐心观察,以免事後生发悔意。)
  
  
    10、後生可畏
  
  
    小男孩问爸爸:“是不是做父亲的总比做儿子的知道得多?”
  
  
    爸爸回答:“当然啦!”
  
  
    小男孩问:“电灯是谁发明的?”
  
  
    爸爸:“是爱迪生。”
  
  
    小男孩又问:“那爱迪生的爸爸怎麽没有发明电灯?”
  
  
    (很奇怪,喜欢倚老卖老的人,特别容易栽跟斗。权威往往只是一个经不起考验的空壳子,尤其在现今这个多元开放的时代。)
  
  
    11、不必紧张
  
  
    小明洗澡时不小心吞下一小块肥皂,他的妈妈慌慌张张地打电话向家庭医生求助。医生说:“我现在还有几个病人在,可能要半小时後才能赶过去。”
  
  
    小明妈妈说:“在你来之前,我该做甚麽?”
  
  
    医生说:“给小明喝一杯白开水,然後用力跳一跳,你就可以让小明用嘴巴吹泡泡消磨时间了。”
  
  
    (take it easy,放轻松放轻松些,生活何必太紧张?事情既然已经发生了,何不坦然自在的面对。担心不如宽心,穷紧张不如穷开心。)
  
  
    12、钥匙
  
  
    一把坚实的大锁挂在大门上,一根铁杆费了九牛二虎之力,还是无法将它撬开。钥匙来了,他瘦小的身子钻进锁孔,只轻轻一转,大锁就“啪”地一声打开了。
  
  
    铁杆奇怪地问:“为什麽我费了那麽大力气也打不开,而你却轻而易举地就把它打开了呢?”
  
  
    钥匙说:“因为我最了解他的心。”
  
  
    (每个人的心,都像上了锁的大门,任你再粗的铁棒也撬不开。唯有关怀,才能把自己变成一只细腻的钥匙,进入别人的心中,了解别人。)

08/29 Stranger

This afternoon, a grey-and-little-black kitty came to the porch of our house. We were kinda surprised to see her at first cause she is a really little cat. Her whole body is dark grey with tiny black stripes, kinda looks like tiger, except she is black. She was not afraid of us; she even walked between our legs when we all went out to see this little cutie. I guess she is still young because she can't jump very high from the ground to the handrail. We thought she might be hungry so we opened a little can of red salmon and gave her a little cup of water. She began her lunch in our porch. We all like her. It's kinda strange that we, several boys with different tastes and characters, all like this kitty.
 
Later this evening, the kitty went back again. She wandered around in our kitchen and began to play with the fish in the fish tank. She stood in front of the tank, waving paws to the fishes. Those poor little fishes might be very scared and they swam to avoid the "stranger". Later on, she was tired. She jumped onto my computer desk and lay down under the desk lamp. For quite a while, she was just laying there, closing her eyes, and waving her black tail. Maybe she felt boring just laying there herself, she walked to me carefully, lay her head on my elbow, and lay down again. This time, she felt much more comfortable. I turned the music down in case disrupting her nice nap.
 
One hour later, I saw my neighbor looking for something. I think he might be looking for this little one. So I asked him whether he was looking for a cat, and he was excited when I went to him holding the kitty in my arms. He said he and his girlfriend, Jennifer, was looking for the cat for quite a while, almost giving up and went to bed. They told me that the kitty's name is "Negro" 'cause he is black. I saw them bring the cat back to their house and I suddenly felt a little lost. I felt like I really like this cat although she only stay half a day with us. I hope I can see her later. Have a good night, Negro!

06/12 我和电脑的故事

我和电脑的第一次接触应该是在小学五年级,那个时候,电脑还是非常奢侈的东东。班上有一个男生刚买了电脑,我哀求了他很久,他终于答应让我玩一玩电脑。于是,一个普通的中午,我抱着十分兴奋和紧张的心情,按照他的指示一一打开显示器,电脑主机。那个时候电脑的操作系统还是DOS,显示器还是黑白的。虽然一点都不明白那些命令有什么作用,但是第一次操作电脑让我十分地兴奋,由此掀开了我与电脑的故事的第一章。

接下来就是初中的时候,学校设置了电脑课,也有了自己的机房。我与电脑老师的关系很好,于是中午不上课的时候,我总是缠着他带我去机房去碰碰电脑。我第一次看到彩色的的屏幕,黑色的背景,有一个红色的点不规则地在屏幕上绕来绕去,那时候还以为是老师自己编写的语言,后来才知道原来那就是屏幕保护程序。电脑课上,老师只是教我们最简单的数据输入和Basic语言,那个时候还可以用Basic语言来画图,虽然简单得不得了,但是觉得很有成就感,毕竟是自己做出来的东西。

我的二表哥那个时候正好在一家电脑修理店做工,所以放假的时候我都会去他家,让他弄游戏给我玩。那个时候已经有Windows 3.2系统了,不过还是要从DOS的界面中启动的,而且那个时候的Windows非常不稳定,经常就会出现蓝屏,也就是死机了。不过我还是在那个时候玩了很多游戏,例如大富翁,毁灭公爵,刺杀希特勒,等等。

难忘的一些经验就是在初三的时候,我们初中的附近开了一家电脑机室,我开始接触了红色警戒这个经典的游戏,虽然经常因为回家晚了被爸爸打,但是只有我知道,电脑给我打开了另外一个的世界。

上了高中,三中的电脑课和初中没有什么不同,还是教我们数据输入,由于在初中就摸过这些东西,所以还是挺轻车熟驾的。我不满足于这些东西,于是就认识了一个学校电脑社的朋友,也名义上地加入了电脑社。很多晚自习的时候,已参加电脑社学习的名义,去学校的机房上网。那个时候已经开始用Windows98了,所以电脑的功能和性能都得到了很大的提高。

2001年4月来到美国,第一次见识到那么多的电脑,才知道学校的电脑是随便使用的,而且上网,做作业,听音乐,看网上电影什么都可以。学校宿舍的网速也是非常地块,我在来美国的第一个学期就买了我的第一台电脑,HP Pavilian Desktop。我们在宿舍的所有学生都是疯狂地利用网络资源,几乎24小时不停地下载音乐,电影,小说,MTV等等,什么都有。后来学校认识到这个问题,就限制了很大一部分的网络带宽。不过在那个时候,我已经从学校的宿舍搬了出去,和一个广东的男生,Simon,在校外租了公寓。

刚搬进去的时候,还什么都不知道,上网还是申请拨号。于是网络使用时间都是我和Simon自己分配,拨号真是慢得不可思议,打开邮箱都要差不多1分钟。后来经朋友介绍,就申请了DSL。刚开始的时候还是800kps,不过已经满足了我们的需要。后来,DSL的速度已经达到3M了。科技发展真是快啊。

过了一年以后,我觉得电脑已经似乎落伍了,幸好Simon以前在国内的时候就玩电脑,所以在他的建议下,就自己组装了第二台电脑,LanParty的主板,Athlon 1.5GHz,512M SDR,GeForce2 MX400。这些配置已经可以运行很多游戏了,所以在2002年-2003年,我和Simon几乎都在玩游戏。其实也不完全都是在玩游戏,我从Simon那里学到了很多电脑硬件和软件的知识,基本都可以解决普通的电脑问题了。毕竟多了一门技能,这是好事。

2004年,在来到Pullman的时候,我陆续地更换了电脑的配件,于是,就组装了我第三台电脑,ASUS Motherboard, Athlon XP 2400+, 1GB DDR, GeForce 5200,还从朋友那里买了一个纯平的显示器。虽然有些时候电脑总是显得慢,不过我已经过了电脑升级的狂热期,所以,我觉得这台电脑应该可以陪伴我读完剩下的一年多的大学。

让我很欣慰的是,今天从朋友那里拿到 Battlefield 2的试玩版,他们的电脑配置都比我好,但是只有我的电脑可以运行这个游戏,很简单,就是因为我的显卡是 5200。
