May 24, 2011_我的汉语作业

给你们看看我的汉语作业。《成功之路进步篇1》, 80页，看度说话：

做的很乱。哈哈！

我本来是这样做的。你们看看，很奇怪吗？问题不少。嘿嘿....　　

　　　　在鸡农村有一对鸡。他们是夫妻。那天母鸡对老公说：“今天在街上跟你说话的那个小女鸡是谁？你们之间是什么关系？“ 

　　　　老公安静地转身不理她。老公这所以这样是因为老婆的性格是这样，很容易吃醋。老婆接着说：“你是不是喜上别的女的了？......快说！“

　　　　后来老公对老婆说：”我已经老了，跟你已经30年一起生活了。从婚礼那天到现在你还这样，一点儿都不信赖我。每次你指责我，你没指责对过。诚实说，那只小女鸡是西班牙的农村，我被领导派陪她吃饭，介绍一下我们的农村。现在我又老又累。如果你还不能信赖我，那...... 那没关系，我要耐心地等你。不过我想你知道我只爱你。到永远爱你。不管怎么样，我不会转身爱其她的小女鸡。“

后来被老师看了，我们修改了。

　　　　在鸡农村有一对鸡夫妻。有一天母鸡对公鸡说：今天在街上跟你说话的那个小母鸡是谁？你们之间是什么关系？

怎么样？好多了吗？

Learn a new language is not an easy thing. Language are much more than vocabularies and grammars, it is also about culture, a nation, histories. Learning language requires an openness and culture acceptance. For me myself, I enjoy myself learning Chinese. But.... I need to always remember this, if I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels (with a correct pronunciation, grammar and even local dialect), but didn't love others (have no love, no openness, acceptance, a heart to serve), I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. It will be meaningless :)

1 D trip to Chibi 赤壁

Last year, during the Labor Holiday (1-3 May 2010) we went to Hubei province. We visited 2 cities, Chibi, which is famous for the battle area prior to the Three Kingdoms period and Wuhan, which is the capital of Hubei province.


Little introduction about Chibi and the Battle of Chibi:

Chibi City (赤壁市, Chìbì Shì ) was originally named Puqi (蒲圻). On 11 June 1998, the State Council renamed it to "Chibi" to tie the city to the famous historical Battle of Chibi.
The Battle of Red Cliffs, otherwise Battle of Chibi,known as the  was a decisive battle at the end of the Han Dynasty, immediately prior to the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history. It was fought in the winter of 208/9 AD between the southern warlords Liu Bei and Sun Quan and the numerically superior forces of the northern warlord Cao Cao. Liu Bei and Sun Quan successfully frustrated Cao Cao's effort to conquer the land south of the Yangtze River and reunite the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The allied victory at Red Cliffs ensured the survival of Liu Bei and Sun Quan, gave them control of the Yangtze (de Crespigny 2004:273), and provided a line of defence that was the basis for the later creation of the two southern states of Shu Han and Eastern Wu.(Source: en.wikipedia.org)

Morning - Leaving to Chibi
We took D train (Guangzhou-Wuhan line) from Changsha to Chibi. We are used to take a hard seat train in China but since this was our first time on D train, so taking photo is a must! It only took less than 2 hours from Changsha to Chibi.

 Chibi train station. Chibi is a small town. It was only us who get off from the train that day.

After you get off from the train, you will meet small buses which can take you to the city. And the historical sites. It takes almost an hour to reach the battle area. (U need to know Chinese to go there!)

 At the gate of Chibi Battle Area. It was.....HOT!! that day.

 

They have a lot of Three Kingdom's heroes there. Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Guan Yu, and Zhu Ge Liang!! 

OK, I forgot the rest.. But it was fun to see the statues since we had Chinese history class at school.

 Finally, the famous spot. Actually there is a engravings on the cliff-side which has been engraved for at least a thousand years.

Na!! any idea where these people come from?! :p

We finished the visit in the afternoon. We went to the Buxingjie, but it was closed -_-"
It wasn't even 6 P.M.
But, as a compensation.... we found a cheap, luxury restaurant!!

Less than 30 kuai for pizza and steak!

Next: from Chibi to Wuhan

Turning 25_the story of Kumin -- part 1

May 14, 2011

There is a girl, we can call her 'Kumin'.

Kumin is not a typical social person who enjoys a big party. 

And she never thinks about hold her own party. 

But this day, she decided to try practicing hospitality in a way that she's not used to.

The party went well, actually! 

People enjoyed the food...

 

the togetherness...

 

and the cake, for sure...

 

Kumin herself, enjoyed more the game after the party :p

Haha, she really do better in smaller groups, doesn't she?

May 15, 2011

Kumin woke up early with a terrible back pain... 

(Errr.....我是不是真的老了呀？？)

Kumin usually goes to fellowship meeting every Sunday afternoon. 

But that Sunday, she needed to skip the fellowship because her friend, Sunisa, needed her help.

Sunisa -- Kumin's friend, she loves eating, speaking and sleeping. 

A totally a fun friend to hang-out with!

                                                                                                  

S: Kumin, can you help me on Sunday afternoon? I want to extract the enzyme.
K: Sunday? Afternoon?
S: Yes, I really want to finish it you know. But P'Kathi is busy with HPLC and 

　　　　Geraldine also cannot. Prof. Xia wants her to finish her paper.

P' Kathi -- Kumin's friend, a clever PhD student. But she can also going crazy, 

especially if you bring her to KTV! She can dance whole night! :p

Geraldine -- also Kumin's friend. She is good in study, doing experiment, cooking, 

singing, helping friends and bet she is also good in teaching..

Prof. Xia -- Geraldine's professor.

K: Mm...How about Monday?
S: Cannot....
K: OK, Sunday morning. I usually go to the fellowship on Sunday afternoon.
S: Cannot...
K: Why?
S: Sleeping... he he he.. Cannot wake up in the morning. Afternoon is OK, Kumin..
K: -__-" Sa..... (Errr.... 这个人，怎么这么能这样啊？)

K: /Speechless... OK, Sunday afternoon, what time? 2 PM?
S: I will call you, OK?

Kumin waited Sa to call her whole morning~~~

　　　　　　Kumin was actually thinking about a lot of things that day.

　　　　　　　　心情不好。 身体很累。人都不在。

　　　　　　　　　　Was not in a very good mood. Tired. Nobody was available.

　　　　　　　　　　　　Even Yahoo Messenger didn't help~

　　　　　　　　

Aa...Though she was worried about Sa's experiment (that they will not be able to finish it today, it was too late to start) 

but.... 那就睡觉吧.... she preferred to sleep. 

After woke up,  she felt better.

Still no response from Sa....... 
(Maybe it’s better if I just go straight to the laboratory...) 

By the time she arrived at the laboratory, Kumin found out that Sa was out for dinner. 

　　　　P' Kathi: Sa said she is so proud that u don't go to church to help her

　　　　K: BUT, P' KATHI WHERE IS SHE NOW?? I SKIPPED THE FELLOWSHIP FOR HER.... 

　　　　　AND NOW SHE IS OUT FOR DINNER?? 

　　　　   And it's been 1.5 hours, where actually did she take her dinner?" 

Sa finally went back at 7.00 PM, then they started SIEVING RICE FLOUR!!! (instead of enzyme extraction as she were told before)

(I'm totally confused with Sa...）

But.... it's always been a great time to share with Sa.. They laughed a lot! 

And well they did a lot of progress  finding out the best method to sieve the flour! Yee Haaa!! 

So from 7.30 PM until near 11 PM, Sa milled 2 kg of rice while Kumin sieved the flour, tiring...累极了~~

BUT......when she was ready to sleep........

1. She remembered her appointment with E-scratura. 

E-scratura sent her a sweet video wishing her a happy birthday!

E-scratura – Kumin’s friend, they became friend exactly 2 years ago. 

She is a unique sister that would be hard to forget.

‘妹妹，谢谢你！我很感动哦！’

2. Wasn't expecting other thing,吕圆suddenly, out of nowhere, asked her how was her day?（Errr.... 我想睡。而且，你是不是比我很早就想睡了呀？）

吕圆 – Kumin’s partner in G2. 

A friend at all times and sister during adversities.

3. 11.30 PM, Like it’s not the end yet, Sa buzzed her on YM telling that she was hungry and she wanted to cook something together.

K: Sa, u can have the birthday cake, we still have a leftover, and we also have mashed potato.
I will open the door for you; you can come and get it now

S: Wait for a moment; I’ll take a bath now. I’ll call you after that, OK?

Energy was all depleted~~~ She went to pray. Thanking God for friends, for the chance she has in China. And in sudden, she remembered all the problems she was facing. Father, just please help me arrange my research. There is nothing more I can do. Please… 

She cried but in sudden she also felt warmth, she heard Father saying, “放心吧，I’ll give a birthday present for u.” 

Not long after that, she fell asleep. 

Calling...

Sunisa Sa

K: Sa? Finish?

S: Yeah!! Aa, you sleep already?

K: En…

S: Crazy!! I have cooked, come on bring the cake here, let’s eat!

K: OK, you can open your door. I will just drop the cake, OK? I don’t want any other meal

S: OK, OK, you come now, OK?

…. to be continued…
