23/11/2009 chongqing madness Chongqing (CQ), the biggest direct controlled municipality in China population wise and area wise; the pretty city that has the most foggy morning; the delicious city with the hottest but can't-stop-eating food; the nice city with straight-forward and friendly people. Whenever someone mention CQ to me, i always picture it as a beautiful city full of beautiful stories. maybe because i've read too many beautiful novels of CQ and that biased my imagination. my first step onto CQ was back in november 16th, 2009. oh yeah, not far away from now, but i feel like it's been a year or two. today is november 23rd, 2009. you think i visit CQ that frequently? oh no, i'm still here, a week and still counting. guess what? i haven't booked my ticket back to Shanghai yet, and we are just assuming here that we could all go home on wednesday, this wednesday. who are we? let me start the story for you. this is a business trip, it was meant for 3 days, and we all think that we could go back to where we from last wednesday. plan has changed, so i start hoping that i could go back last friday. plan got fixed again. i was wishing to go back yesterday. plan was totally turned over, but i still hope that i could sneakly go back today. plan is gone, which means, there's no plan anymore right now. we are all tied back to back on a rope. hence, we are most like going back this wednesday, but still giving the hope that there's a slightly chance to go back tomorrow night. why are we here? yeah, i forgot to mention. we are all here for a project. the point was to have a outline of the project done and turn into the customer. after that, we could go back home and do the follow-ups remotely, but then, as i said, plan has just been changed again and again and again. i almost have to pack my luggage everyday, thinking that i'm going home, but end up unpack it at night, knowing there's no way that day. am i complaining? oh yes. i live my college and grad. school complaining all the way through. that's the way i release myself, and that's the way i remind myself. this is the life i chose. i should take responsibility to face it directly. actually, this reminds me of what i used to hear all the time from some one (that certain someone knows who i'm talking about), "life sucks", but then after this huge project is done, i would certainly feel, "life is good, and i'm awesome!" so, at the end of this madness broadcast, i would like to say to myself, "no one but you can do it! you are aweseom!" uh-huh! 12/11/2009 disney is coming to Shanghaidisney is coming to Shanghai i can picture the horrible traffic by all transportation means hp is buying 3com... yepe...life gets tough... 5/11/2009 The 8 Years (4) (end) Man! I made this 8-year period so short! I’ve had so many stories and fun in the
first 6 years, but I wouldn’t list it one by one, ‘cuz it’ll take me way more time
than what I’ve spent and energy. When I have time, I’ll write my autobiography
and maybe then I will write them all out. For the last part, I lived in California, where the sunshine and the beaches are, not to mention that it’s south California, where angels reside and most important, the other side of the Pacific. When I was in Tennessee, every time I went back home for a holiday, I kept telling myself that I hate this 3-connection, across more than half of the earth experience and had to move to somewhere closer to home. While applying for grad. school, I got into UCI. Yepe, south California, “never” rains, China town everywhere, and only 12 hours non-stop flying back to Shanghai. Same as the last entry, I probably won’t list any friends’ name in this one, ‘cuz there are so many of them! And once I start, I can’t just write two or three. Anyway, UCI is a new school, and pretty, but ppl work there are sorta way too bureaucracy. And I understand why alumni don’t donate any $ to them. Tell you what, I won’t either. But I like LA. I like San Gabriel. I like Rowland Height. I like Pasadena. And I like Acadia. Yeah, correct, where all the great Chinese food are. Oh! And there’s a karaoke place in Rowland Height. In the 2nd year, we’ve made a lot of trips there. To sum up, I gain lots of weight in LA, due to the food, and because I lived in school’s apt., I also had time and ability to make great food everyday. I think California is a lot different than other states in US. Once I’ve heard someone say that, “There are all kinds of people in California but American.” Typical and classical. I had to agree, I feel like I’m in another country. So now, I’m back in Shanghai, and ppl keep asking me why I chose to come back. They don’t know how boring it’s like in US. Maybe life is convenient there, but there’s something missing. Life stuck in certain pattern. Some are sure that I will miss US and wanting to go back within 3 months. Oh well, I’ve been back 4 months already, and I don’t miss it at all! Thank US for giving me the education I needed. I still prefer Shanghai. |
