Sunday is the free market day.  (see also Lucky day)

People and stalls are more than before. We take a round and find nothing interesting. When we going to leave, a book stall with many books attracts me.

There are many books which I cannot read in existing level. So I pick a book with many pictures. It’s easy to understand.  ;)

 

<ULTIMATE VISUAL DICTIONARY> 640 pages

original price is $16.95, now just cost $3, I take it.

Uncle Yiwei goes to the library to return books, and I go with him for getting a library card.

It’s easy to get a library card. Just need to complete a application form and show IDs. I show my passport and the envelops which was written to me by Xingdao and Citibank. The lady in the library who can say chinse helps me to register. Only two minutes, I get my own library card. :D

 

Have a look–

There are two size cards in a set, one normal card and one little card for stringing on a key-ring.

A little chat

After finishing the meal, when I walked towards the gate, an old black man eating the fired chicken wings passed by just in time. I said hello to him out of politeness. He stopped and talked with me.

Probably, he told about a laptop with a broken screen. Maybe he ask me whether I can fix it or something else. I didn’t understand very well, so I said I wasn’t good at electric. He got my point and say it’s very kind of me.

I was confused for a moment, why did he say I am kind? In a while, I thought it’s because I said hello  to him first and talked with him in good manners, rather than I tried to help him fix the screen or not.

Viewing it optimistically, I can understand about half of what others talking. :)

Listless

In fact,  there are a lot of things occurring  recently, which make me listless.

  • 1. The ESL program office lady replies to me very slowly. I just receive one reply which I wrote the day before yesterday. And she almost did not answer any about what I asked. Damn! I worry about the enrollment now.
  • 2.  Uncle Yiwu thought that he could sell my mother and Uncle Yiwei the downstairs apartments at 300,000 each. The whole building was just worth 200,000 when he bought 10 years ago. And he wanted to sell us the house which was very far away at a price that nobody would accept. It is so sorrow. We  were supposed to a family, not a  business dealer. I don’t want to buy the apartment at low price. In stead of that, I wish Uncle Yiwu had not said that words.

两个人的相处之道,是有一条平衡线的

小吉因为恋人的事,很伤心很伤心,我也很为她悲叹:多好的一个女孩儿啊,为恋人付出了那么多,却得到无情的伤害。只能用下面的话来劝告她以后不要再那么傻,不要再那么无私为对方了。

两个人的相处之道,是有一条平衡线的,如果一方过于为另一方付出,那结果就是打破了平衡,结局一般都很糟。

这是我多年总结的经验,自己也得多回味回味这句话。

I am so stupid like a foolish dumb silly pig!!

Something happened today. It makes me want to hit a wall of shame.

To talk about it simply, for hiding the embarrassment, I was cheated of money by the incredible advertisement on FaceBook, which was a common scam here.

sillypig

The Ad showed a free $250 gas card which seemed easy to get. $250 is a lot of money, I was attracted without any judgment as well as in homeland. I clicked the Ad wanting to get that “benefit”.

It appeared a survey and let me fill some simple information like name, address, phone number and email. Then, it told me to take some “offers” if I wanted to claim the gift. The “offers” classified three: silver, gold and platinum. Each category needed me to take two offers. One offer was selling something in a low price. It also needed my info, besides, my credit card! This is the worst dealing I had done. Finally, I took about four or five offers. I picked up three phone calls short after the offer had been taken. Because of hearing difficulty, I didn’t know what they were saying, just bababa. I considered it would be OK with my $250 gift.

My thighs ache

When I wake up, I can hardly get up from the mattress which is just lying on the floor. My thighs ache so much that I can’t to use them to walk. Let me see, I have not done any exercise for four months. Oh, I am so lazy that I deserve it.

In order to make the lactic acid disappear sooner, I force myself walking around. Walking to Big Lost painfully, spending twenty minutes, I buy one cushion, one storage box and a pack of tissue. Then walk back.

After dinner, Michelle takes me to the Dahua 99 Market. In such surprise, I find there is BaiJia Instant Potato Thread, which is one of my favorites. I buy two flavors, even if they are more expensive than domestic.(here 79c each, domestic 35c each)

Oh, my thighs, will they more ache tomorrow?

30岁,该有些为人处世的原则了

今年30岁了,但有些为人处世的原则还是常学常有的。刚看到一些比较新鲜的自我勉励观点,值得记录一下,以后时不时看看。

1、不要在流眼泪的时候做任何决定,情绪负面的时候说话越少越好。
2、不要去反复思考同一个问题,不要把所有的感情都放在一个人身上,你还有父母,有朋友。
3、不要害怕做错什么,即使错了,也不必懊恼,人生就是对对错错,何况有许多事,回头看来,对错已经无所谓了。
4、有负面情绪是正常的,但是自己一定要知道,要明白这只是生活的一小部分,在其余时间里,要尽量的让情绪平稳起来。
5、那个人,突然不联系你了,很正常;那个人,突然又联系你了,也很正常,这什么也不说明。
6、如果不懂,就说出来,如果懂了,就别说,笑笑即可。
7、一切的烦恼都是自找,因此也只能自己解决,不要找朋友哭诉,找他们去打球。

Not far away from where I live, there is a peak park named Holly Park  covered with glass and tall pine trees.

I planned to run at the park many days ago, but never put into practice. On the January 1st 2010, I made up my mind to do it at the beginning of the new year.

At the first work-day, to the others, I wear sport clothes and go out for running. One of the episodes is I make three mistakes about the keys of the outdoor lock, which almost lets me give up the great plan.
