This is the TRUTH

The frequency of being stinged by mosquitos is a lot related to the diet habit.
During the very days I just came back from Calgary, I didn't get stinged by any mosquito here, but two weeks after which is now, I get stinged by almost EVERY mosquito here!!!!!! Frick!!!!!

My God!!! It drives me insane!!!!

I went to the store "Calgary Rock" after such a long time!!
I really wanna play guitar at home!!!
Today, I went there.
Opening the door,
a middle-aged man, wearing sunglasses,
playing guitar alone, facing the door.
I stepped into the small room,
scanning those guitar books,
finding songs I've heard of.
Suddenly, I found several distinct dark pink letters and figures on the top of that book:
"SUM 41"!!
I quickly picked that book.
My God!! Inside the book,
everything was different from the book I played with in CHina!!!!
I closed that book,
and went into a smaller room where acoustic guitars were stored,
So many nice guitars!!!!
Those were so excellent!!!!
How much were they though?
cheapest $117, the smallest.
a normal one $299!!!
Oh , crap!!
ALso there were a lot of Aray (so to spell, the man in the store told me this) guitars out there.
Jesus!! Some cheaper ones were about $250 only
cheaper than an acoustic one,
but that was only the guitar itself!!
He showed me the most expensive one in that store which cost $5,999!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was floored at once!!! I kept silent for 5 seconds!!
I asked about if there were lessons there,
he showed me a piece of paper,
on that paper: 4 lessons per mth: $74.95 which was the cheapest one!!!!
I just bought the "SUM 41" book and left at once!!!!
I thought that after this semester,
I had to get a job and take those lessons,
cause I can learn more about how to play guitar there!!!

Badminton!! Oh, Yeah!!

This Friday,
Felix, Sharron, John, Hisham, and I went to play badminton in a club.
This was the second time I played badminton since nearly 2 mths ago last time. 
And because of no high-level players to play with me,
I played worse and worse,
Oh Gosh!!
This Friday, I played with a club member.
To tell you the truth, 
I could beat him absolutely without thinking if I was in 9 mths ago!!
But that night, I was out of energy and I lost my skills and senses.
Therefore, I was beaten 21:3.
It was really a terrible score for me.
I wish I was full of energy and skills that time.

Special section for the pizza party

Thursday, we had a pizza party,
the same as the one in EAP II.
But this time something changed,
our funny instructor Murray and Scott began to play guitar for all of us;
at the same time,
we played a game:
a spoon with an attractive golf ball on it should be passed from the first person to the last one,
some one who dropped the ball should lined up after five people behind him or her.
Fortunately, I didn't attend this as I got the pizza quite early!! HAHAHA
Then I ate in EDC 173 with John, Felicio, around me. 
Incident 1:
A beautiful girl with black long hair and reddish lips came into the classroom,
she stood beside me, eating her pizza.
at that time, John was away, 
watching Murray and Scott's singing children's song (according to Murray's saying).
I let her sit down at his seat.
Then I we learned a little bit about each other,
she was a Korean girl but not from Seoul (don't be over excited),
and she'd been here for about 10 mths.
I lost myself in her....

Back, I saw Slava playing guitar outside wiht Murray's guitar,
and I had the impulse to play a Chinese song "Friends"for all the others,
however, when Murray's guitar was in my hand,
I was about to play,
Oh, No!! I forgot how to play suddenly.
Incident 2:
John and Felix called me to play badminton, since no one there wanted to have classes,
I left.
After I put on my badminton clothes,
John called me that there was no slot for us to play!!
Then I came back to school with my writing textbook for Ilana's Grammar class ( I didn't meant to)

Back,
Luckily, I caught up the "last chance for romance": Murray's final solo with guitar.
And we even took pictures,
how lucky I was!! hahahaha
I learned some terms of in guitar playing from our incredibly, and remarkably invincible lovely Murray: strum, and finger pick (so to spell).

That's the whole process of the pizza party!! GoooooooooooooooDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hehe! Life is like this!

Last saturday evening,
I played badminton again,
I went back to my favorite badminton court again.
I didn't play very well that time,
just trying to find the feeling back.
I smashed a lot,
but few of those smashes worked well.
The speed was slow, and the bird didn't go the way I wanted it to go.
Anyway, I played it.
I ordered an iMac online last Friday,
but because some technique problems,
I had to cancel the purchase;
however, the commodity had already been shipped.
I could just return it, but I have to pay for the post fees and the 10% charge.
At the same time, my pot was on fire!!! Jesus!
I quickly turned the stove off, and put the pot into the sink immediately.
The whole house was safe after that.
The next day, I went to school, got my term paper back.
Holy Cow~! I passed!!!! I was so happy.
After back home,
I nearly got charged by my landlord that I didn't turn off the lights in my room.
This morning, I got up at six and arrived at school at 7:30 in order to attend a lecture,
however, they have a test today. Gees!
After that I felt a terrible discomfort in my stomach.
Before the reading class,
my housemate Jethro told me that he just thought of a way to solve my laptop infection problems.
hehehe
Life is like this!
Accident is depended by luck; meanwhile, accident hides itself behind luck! (it is a Chinese proverb : 祸兮,福之所依;福兮,祸之所伏。)
But I should always be optimistic!!!!!!!!!!!!
"This, this is who I am,
I hope you understand.
and this is what I wanna be."
(Lyrics of Angela Ammon's "This Is Who I Am")

Free Tibet?? Check this out!!

Looking at so many people are in favor of freeing Tibet, I, as a Chinese, can do nothing but paste this short video here to let you know the facts of Tibet!! Hope it works!!

P.S. I apologize for the swear words in it. That so many countries love to separate China with some ridiculous reasons proves that China hasn't been strong enough. Therefore, we all Chinese, wherever we are, we must work hard!!!! Then we are able to make our motherland much stronger than now!!!!

After Avril Lavigne's concert





























Avril Lavigne's concert has already finished.
Whew!!!!
My dream has come true!!
She came to China last summer,
I could have showed up on her concert,
but I missed at last because of a trip to Harbin.
Last year when I was already here,
I was informed that Avril was going to have a best damn tour around Noth America.
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a good chance for me to see her face to face!!!!
I quickly became a "rossbone fan" and bought a presale ticket at floor!!
I was so excited that time!!
Last night,
the time my dream was coming true,
I went to the Saddledome,
stepped onto the floor,
found a good position quite near the stage.
I was so excited!!!
When I was in China,
I would never know I could meet Avril face to face on live.
So, you all can feel how excited I was when getting crazy step by step following Avril Lavigne, meaning that my impossible dream has already come true!!!!
Oh, My God!!!
My impossible dream has come true!!!
How Happy I was and I am!!!!
I first had a taste of such a grand happiness!!!!!
Avril Lavigne is a beautiful, sexy and powerful girl (my own opinion),
and she really drives me crazy.
Whenever I feel depressed, tired, or boring,
after listening to her songs, looking at her photos, and (or) watching her concerts(DVD),
I felt energetic again.
This is the secret why I was always optimistic and energetic in last semester,
which was a good impression on all the others.
However,
in this semester,
I don't know what the hell happened to my mind,
maybe because more than one Canadian told me that Avril Lavigne is not popular here,
or she's a jerk.
So I seldom listened to her songs.
And in sequence, I changed.
Lots of failure in my essay writing,
and failure in my presentation,
failure in my mid-term listening.
All those things were gonna drive me mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to be frank,
I was about to quit the concert last night before I left,
but considering that the price of the floor ticket was $ 54, so expensive,
I had to go.
So I arrived there appreciating the pre-concert with just a little smile on my face.
But after Avril Lavigne came out,
I turned myself upside down.
I was crazy.
I sang with her,
took pictures.
Blah, blah, blah,....
I'll never regret going to the concert.
Next time when she visits Calgary,
I'll definitely go to her concert as well!!
Last night's concert lit up my fire of fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avril!! You Rock!!!
You rock my life!!!!!
