About

Have been playing the city games in China for about a decade, I came to Australia and that makes my straying dream nearly come true. But I miss my homwtown, a place they call Jiang Nan. Even though I am here enjoying the alien air and langscapes, my heart is always with China.

After two friends and I took a house in a suburb area of Australia, the real life continues with stressful paces and extra entertainments. Life can never stop, so does the sunshine.

MCG 29 Mar 2008 |

Today i went to MCG to watch footy with my friends. Because Benjamin promised me he would give me some free tickets to watch the match.
Before the match, a function was held to introduce Australia football to Chinese. I hadn't seen Benjamin since his band had a tour in Nanjing, and he today dressed very gentle and a big smile was on his face. His Mandarin improved a lot. The function was proceeding very well and some surprise appeared when the "mascot"came to the scene and arouse much cheer, the red lucky thing was a bit cute. Actually afterwards one of the members of the team Melbourne showed and was taken photos together by most of the students.
After the function we went to watch the competition, which was appreciated by more than 35,000 people. The attendance was astounding but finally i found that the team Melbourne was a younger team and their performance made a lot of present persons disappointed. However, the footy was exciting and a little violent and fierce, the players use a lot of body collide; they can both kick with feet and throw with hands; there are four poles at each team's goal...During the match, Benjamin sat beside me for minutes and we had a short chat about the rules and our respective life.
After the match, Larry suggested that we could go to Toorak to have a buffet dinner, sort of Chinese hotpot. We five persons went there and stuffed with a lot of spicy food, which made me "shit jet" the last second i rushed into my toilet.

city museum 27 Mar 2008 |

Today i had to go to caulfield to discuss my assignment of AFF5040 with other three guys. Honestly speaking, this unit is very tough and difficult and i have no confidence on it.
Eventually the discussion didn't last for long time, we just assigned respective job and went home. I went with Ross to his home to copy my pictures because i lost all of my pictures during the "thief event" of last summer vacation.
After that i went to city cause i had an appointment with my teacher of bridging program Benjamin, a few days ago he sent me an email saying that he could give me a few free tickets for AFL. I went to city to firstly go to see Maggie. She had moved into the new house and enrolled a new college. Pretty good. I was still waiting for Benjamin's call but never came. So i decided to walk around city just to kill time. I went to Carlton Garden which was closed to let gardeners to prepare for Flower and Garden show of Melbourne. Afterwards i felt so bored and walked a long way to City museum, inside which Benjamin called me to get the tickets on Saturday......

inside is hot 26 Mar 2008 |

Veiya小妮子人称百搭,所以今天晚上又是大伙聚众吃饭,小妮子烧的糖醋带鱼竟然超出了我的预想,我果然是狗眼看人低。
屋外有很冷,下午下过暴雨,晚上很阴冷,有伤感袭上心头。把电热毯铺上了,驱赶不了心里的凉。
Michal定好了房子,Andy原来住过的那个房间。
房子很好,干净,舒适,安静,除了偏远,一切安好。
其实我不想看到这样的结果,可是既然有了,那就只能顺势而不是力阻。
其实大家谁都不能用坏来形容。有些结局,并不是无可挽回。
祝愿大家都安好,开心最重要。

great BBQ chicken 25 Mar 2008 |

After the check of my chest and it turned out to be the reason of stomach acid, i felt really free and went to BBQ Chicken to bite chicken pieces with Michal. What happened today can be dated back to a few days ago when i found my chest had suffered from pain. Thanks to god it was not a big problem! I encountered an ironic issue that i had to wait about 40 minutes to pick up my prescription medicine. What an inefficient country! But both Michal and me laughed at ourselves cause we finally learned another new English word: PHARMACY.
Michal told me that he an Jacky had a fight yesterday. That was a long story. But he decided to move out because he and other three guys didn't even talk with each other. As a landlord, i didn't want to see this, but i cannot involve with this. Wish him again.

state library 24 Mar 2008 |

Life is becoming more and more boring. Finally i decided to go to State library cause there was nobody at home, they all went to Phillip island. I found the storage in the State library is very convenient, just 1$ for 4 hours.
The exhibition on the fourth and fifth level showed me a lot of special information about Australia's history and customs. They cover the exhibition of The Changing Face of Victoria and Mirror of the World: books and ideas.
I didn't spend much time there cause i also wanted to go to Mary Mackillop Museum, but when i went there it was closed. The destination was just beside the Fitzroy Garden, the garden where i visited before but whose photos i have lost. So, next time, i will spare some time to visit it again.

what is the hell?

i am falling down 23 Mar 2008 |



Although it is a mid-break, but i cannot feel this environment. At least this should be exciting for local people but Chinese friends may feel indifferent. I just stick to home, but sometimes some friends of my tenants will visit my house and made my house busy. Yesterday there was another dinner party and Veiya made all the terrible dishes. We all laugh at her. After dinner, we a few people gathered around the sofa and watched a Thai ghosts movie. Veiya and Xiao Fang felt very scared and they shaded their dread with their pillows.
These a few days i had suffered some pain in the chest, which made me painful when i drank water or ate food. I am really worried about myself and i am scared of surgery. I am worrying that this pain stems from my long-term cough......
Feeling so sad, sorrowful,depressive. I even have no appetite. God bless me.......

good Friday, bad Ass 21 Mar 2008 |


How to celebrate GOOD FRIDAY, the Friday before the rebirth of Jesus. It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus at Calvary. It is a public day so almost every shop is closed. The weather was not so good today, which made me tired and dizzy and sleepy.
In the noon, Jacky made us a great lunch and this was the first time for all members of my house to have lunch together. The couple is really generous. Thanks to god, i have such tenants including Mickey and Veiya.
Soon after lunch i had to go to Caulfield campus cause Thanya called me to join the discussion of AFF5070. The assignment of 5070 are supposed to be pretty hard. We five members had a lot of conflicts and debate during the last two discussion but today it went on well.
Bad Ass=bad assignment, i am not saying my ass is bad smelly and makes somebody faint.
Good Friday, i am looking forward to going outside with some friends but till now nobody has plans. I am ready to do reading and killing ASSES.

to look through 20 Mar 2008 |

Easter day is coming. But it seems that many friends do not feel passionate to fly outside. This is a serious problem. I often heard that overseas students often feel lonely, stuff like that, probably, they deserve loneliness because of their excess self-guard and most of Chinese guys do not hold together.
Whatever, i have walked through the first semester and i really really know the character of Chinese, what is Chinese, i am looking through it. It is not hard to make friends, just opening the mind, not to be cautious, to be self-fish. But, a lot of things often break me, hurt me. So i am not scared of loneliness, because i know, i cannot not depend on others to seek fucking happiness. IT SUCKS!
Poor Mickey went to certain hospital to have caecitis surgery without telling us anything. The three guys went out to look for the hospital to find him...Is he crazy..or the FUCKING world is turning to be soooooo crazy. Wish he comes through it, and would come back with a big smile!

no country for young man 16 Mar 2008 |

I've been a few places today. Rare travel since i came again to Australia. But Eureka is a place i have been thinking to visit. It comes true today. I remember one day during the first semester a few friends of bridging program visited its door but we hesitated to enter because of the high price. So funny i used to have "the virtues of thrift" but now i am so thirsty....
In the way to the Eureka tower, i came across the Arts centre Sunday market, which i had visited before when in the summer vacation a few friends and me went to the city beach. In the arts centre, a so-called 40th anniversary for immigrants from Turkish was held there, that reminded me of my previous boss when I worked in a coffee centre.
Actually the Eukera is similar to Melbourne 360, but i just wanted to enter the edge of Eukera, in which i can stand on the transparent glasses. It is really amazing!
After that i went to Brighton beach but it was very hot then i tooooooook trains and buses and went home and WHAT?

first time to stand 11 Mar 2008 |

今天天气很热,懒洋洋的。
其实回来以后,很多的想法都变了。更加淡然,坦然。于丹说,人到中年人与人的关系以君子之交淡如水为最佳,虽然不尽如此,但实属处世箴言。
身边发生了许多新事物:ross有女朋友了,还是本班的图书馆;wendy开始留卷发穿高跟,看来是受不了F3的冷嘲热讽,而且她现在就住我一条街;有朋友买车,有朋友打工,只有我依然如故。相比上学期,突然感觉自己变得保守内敛了,就连跟陌生人讲话都懒得搭理。也许是外面的精彩接触了也就这样,还是回归本性。
校车这学期免费了,只是我怀念收费的那时候,不用争相抢座位。今晚为了去coles买点菜迟到了,只能站立在车子口,闻着印度人身上的牛味。我想起了在南京的日子,从学校去夫子庙的94路,也是人多得空气都要爆了。
有时候想,成熟其实是一种退化,如同秋收的水果腐烂,再也不是年少时那般的清新欢快。
前几天看过once,很朴素的一部电影。

Christiana's birthday 10 Mar 2008 |

It has been a long time since i wrote in English, actually English tends to be stranger for me with my days here extend. So funny, complex, sometimes only you devote one thing you may find it hard to explore.
Fucking my major RISK MANAGEMENT, i had classes during the weekend, even more worse classes were so boring for me and the boss of our unit Michael began his own style including watching videos and giving us long discussion time.
I almost forgot today is Christiana's birthday. She is my new lodger as well as her boy friend. Actually after Brooks and Sven decided to move out, four new friends moved in and we live in my house together. Xiao Fang was so happy today.

long time no see 5 Mar 2008 |

回来有几天了。
在国内的那些日子,享尽舒适与懒惰,虽然无事可做,但也乐得头脑空白,至少不用再去考虑一些不得已的处世。
08年初的雪很大,跟华峰去了南京,看语言班老师ben的乐队演出,很搞笑,在中国的一个城市看到一张国外的熟悉面孔。
很多事情:生日,情人节,元宵节,虽然一如既往的平淡,可是总是很快乐的。之前在澳洲笃定我是对流浪乐此不疲的,回到国内才会油然而生:浪子回头也是很容易。
我想我真的变了,不再忙于记录生活,不像几年前,每段日子都是有文字的痕迹,很容易就回想。也许是人的记性过好,所以才是痛苦非常。那又何必再记录,等同于自残了。
回到澳洲,阳光依然不变,发现英语退化,性情更加平和。家里搬来了四个新朋友,相处的挺愉快,让我回想起刚来这个屋子时候许多朋友一起玩魔兽的日子。
其实他们来了,我比从前快乐。
学期新课似乎更难了,多么想放弃这些所有,过我的悠哉日子,然而不行的啊,我不准备打工了,多弄几个HD吧。
似借口,若洒脱,本来无一物,何处惹尘埃?
昨天有去看melbourne motor show。好多好车,可惜买不起,看还不行么?
