First birthday out of campus!

We had a dinner in a Greek restaurant called "Uncle Nick's" in Manhattan right after Thanksgiving. The food there was so good, especially Greek feta cheese, and we all love Greek food.

It is my birthday again. I can't believe that I am already 26. Woo~ ~ ~ sighing. Many friends asked me how I gonna celebrate my birthday, actually, I have no idea. I was so tied and overwhelmed during Thanksgiving and before Thanksgiving. I hung out with my friends everywhere in NYC during Thanksgiving, watching broadway musical "Phantom of the Opera", having all different kinds of food, and etc. I also organized a party at my home for them. We drank a lot and went to pub to enjoy the light music. We had so much fun together. Now the result comes~ I had a bad headache. Today is my first birthday after I got out of school, and I have a headache. What could I do? Lying down on my bed, dreaming a good future, hopefully. By the way, I am a terrible party organizer, and I will never organize a party anymore. But I will join the party if someone invites me. lolz~

Busiest weekend ever!

Oh, gosh, I had a busiest weekend last week, traveling to 3 states within 2 days. It was a non-scheduled trip. I just decided to go back to Boston with couple of my friends last Wednesday, and then many things happened suddenly, but the result was awesome.

I went to Boston on Friday night around 7pm, then we had a party at one of my friend's house that night in Waban. It was a nice party. We had Tai food, Italian pastry, red wine and beer. We stayed up until 3am and went bed before we got drank. The whole Saturday, we were hanging around Boston, having dim-sum as breakfast, window shopping at Prudential Center, having coffee, Italian cake, ice-cream in Little Italy until late afternoon. However, this was just the beginning of the long day. A sudden party invitation lead us back to Dover, NH. After hanging out whole day in Boston, we drove nearly 2 hours back to Dover, then we just changed clothes, and went to Lee for the party. It took another 30 mins to drive from Dover to Lee. The party started at 7pm and last until 1am, Sunday morning.

Saturday night party was wonderful. 8 people from 7 different nationalities attended the party, American, Scotish, Australian, German, French, Japanese and Chinese. We even didn't know each other before. It was the first time we had so many nationalities get together in one party. Then on Sunday morning, we drove back to Durham campus and walked around until noon. Finally, I came back to Boston in the early afternoon, then another long drive back to NYC. I was exhausted for the whole weekend, but it was the happiest weekend ever. We learned a lot of things from different people: Scotish guy showed us his Scotish kilt without wearing underwear inside the kilt (it is the traditional way to do that); American girl showed us Japanese sword she bought from Ebay (she told us that we could buy everything from Ebay, which is actually true); German guy showed us his Chinese dictionary; American guy told us good Chinese and Japanese movies, directors. It was so funny. Foreigners knew more than natives. Those 8 people all went to UNH or still at UNH. It is amazing how the world connected.

Paste a Chinese post!

NYC was raining heavily yesterday. I got a Chinese post here to match the chilly weather and grey sky. Maybe we all experienced the same thing before, did you?

昨天看了友人的一篇短篇小说，突然也想写两句，感觉好像只有用美丽的文字才可以记录我内心最深刻的感受和感动。虽然人还没有衰老，为什么最近心确变得僵硬了呢？不再轻易的感动，不再有往日的笑容，不再有导演恶作剧的心情，不再有昔日的活力。即使是只睡3，4个小时也能精力充沛的工作20个小时的我，为什么现在每天都如此的累？好像即使是连续睡上24个小时也无法恢复的劳累，我到底怎么了？

一年前的记忆还那么清晰可见，就像一切还停留在昨天，可是已经转眼一年光阴。他的脸，他的声音还有那快乐的笑容还那么的真实，可惜已经远去。有时觉得那一切只是一场梦，总想紧紧的抓住，永远不要醒来，可是过去的终究还是要过去，生活还是要继续。好想一切从来，因此兴奋憧憬的回到初次遇见他的地方，希望能够再次听到他快乐的叫着我的名字，可是发现一切都已不在。总是不断告诉自己要把他忘记，可是为什么越想忘记越记得深刻呢？是啊，他是个不值得我喜欢的人，可是为什么放弃之后泪还是不停的滑落？即使是分开一年后， 心还是忍不住的痛呢？从来没有如此投入的去爱一个人，从来不愿意放弃自己的自尊和骄傲，从来不会这么无私的去照顾一个人，希望他快乐， 一切因他而改变。到现在也不知道怎么会对他有了感觉，而且这种感觉还如此的刻骨铭心。我不知道这一生还会不会这么去爱一个人，但是爱过还是觉得满足，毕竟我曾经这样的爱过。

Is that nice? Are you touched by reading it? Chinese is a beautiful language, really!

Birthday month ~

NYC Central Park in fall, 2006.

"Happy birthday to my favorite friend. I hope you are happy today and enjoy your birthday party somewhere in this planet, not like last year. However, I still enjoy the way we celebrated your birthday at the same time last year, although you were frustrated for your life at that time. Anyway, enjoy and all the best wishes to you. Hopefully, you can get it."

This is a birthday month. Except the one mentioned above, two of my best friends from different countries will celebrate their birthdays this month. Although both of them are far away from me, my wishes still could fly over Atlantic Ocean and arrive at their hands. Please note that when you celebrate your birthday, eat less cookies, otherwise, your faces will like mine, more and more like pancake. (sighing) Now we all reach the golden age of our lives, although we still didn't get a lot of money or settled down, we still enjoy our lives in our own ways. Give one of my lovely pictures here as part of your birthday presents, hope you guys like it.

By the way, do anyone need candy? I prepared a lot of candies with my roommate on Halloween, but no kid came to our place for candy, huh! Woo~ ~ ~ Now our apartment is like a candy shop.
