Spring Fountain of dew

Second day~

My second day here :) Very happy to find na's comments here. And she is one of the reasons that make me have this fountain. Today is a busy day. Went to the last class of "music fundamentals" of the whole semester. Since I'm auditing the course, I didn't work hard. But do get immersed into music and have the sense. Maybe I expect the effect as the old chinese saying, "If you get into a room with a lot of flowers, you will be scented~". And I decide to sit in the "This is music " course next semester. Thanks Larry, our famous music 'prof' for the information :) As a life long learner , this is one thing I like most about going abroad---learning becomes more easy and freely.

One view from a talk with Chris today: Man in Canada tend not to pay attention on fashion, or else they will be considered faminine. But it's quite popular for woman to comment each other :P (remember this!) But there's no absolute. The commenting on clothes could be a good open up of the conversation for both.

One joke about ambiguity get from Fred : "Foots heads arms body"---old British
means Mr. Food was assigned head of the military army.

I begin to like linguistics day by day now, and music itself is also a language.

My first blog

Always have the impulse of writing and recording my life and thoughts... But my laziness of picking up a pen have prevented me from writing the diary for a long time. ( Sounds like I'm a real computing science major. :P) Instead, those random thoughts and events were pouring on friends' loggo and emails. I enjoy the feeling of reading the past email and articles, sometimes even amazed by my little wisdom, while sometimes found out that I could be so stupid and spoiled... Sometimes I kept asking the same question,
"Who is she?", " Is it me?"
"Yes, it is me. A small 'me' growing little by little, day by day, happily while painfuly. "
Today, I set up this chance of revisiting the small "me" in the future. Life is a book that written together with me. It's good to review the previous pages from time to time.

I am the person who has the habit of collecting the past. Due to the contribution of my grandpa, I had a whole academic record from my primary school to high school :) That's my big treasure. It is really fun to read my composition in my 3rd grades. From then on, I kept collecting various of my personals. Photos, cards, letters and even some gift bags from friends and families consistute a big part of my collection. The blessing stone for my mother, the first unsent letter to my father, my first watch from friend... But ever since the digital stuff become dominants in my life, I kind of lost in the overwelmed 010101 information. This lacking of organization make me feeling bad (maybe this because I'm Virgo? :P) Today I finally get the strength and courage to set my new treasure place here.

I named it "Spring Fountain of dew". I love water and almost everything that related to water since I was born. And luckily enough, my grandma name me Yangyang( which means big ocean. Hey, a lot of water. ) Everyday for me is like a small drop of water, sparkling under the sunshine, flying with the wind, playing on the daisy , crying with the tears... For the limitation of my linguistic knowledge of english, I come up with the word "dew" to represent this small angel. Today I set up this fountain to gather these small dewdrops and they spring out through my finger under the keystrokes.// I also had another name in mind for this blog-- "Cai3 Mo2 Gu1 De Xiao3 Gu1 Niang2". Can't find a nice english translation at the moment( The little girl who is picking up the mushroom? ). Once I use it as my BBS nick name. I'll save it for the future. Xixi.

I got an unexpected gift accompanied with this blog today: the first snow this winter of Vancouver. The big snowing flakes are dancing outside the window, seems they are also sharing my joy of this celebration moment---celebrating for the found of the "Spring Fountain of dew"...
