Watched "La Grande séduction" on French class today. Really fancinate by French movie now. Following is a cliff notes of the movie. "Amelie" is another one that introduced in French class this semester. Love their humor, genre and the special way of touching the life.

A resident of the tiny port village of Sainte-Marie-La-Mauderne, Germain tries to convince a multinational corporation to set up a factory on the outskirts of town. Once a fishing port, Sainte- Marie-La-Mauderne has fallen on hard times and most of its residents are now unemployed. In order to meet the multinational's insurance requirements, Germain must persuade a doctor to set up practice in the village. Led by Germain, the 150 villagers do everything in their power to convince a young doctor to settle in the community. As they come closer and closer to their goal, and acknowledging that, in their relationship with the doctor, they have walked a fine line between persuasion and lying, Germain and the other villagers find themselves having to choose between their factory... and their integrity as a community.

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Got this funny story from the SUMMAC tutorial . See how NLP geeks enjoy the life :P

If You Give a Mouse a Cookie

Laura Joffe Numeroff © 1985

If you give a mouse a cookie,he’s going to ask for a glass of milk.

When you give him the milk, he’ll probably ask you for a straw.

When he’s finished, he’ll ask for a napkin.

Then he’ll want to look in the mirror to make sure he doesn’t have a milk mustache.

When he looks into the mirror, he might notice his hair needs a trim.

So he’ll probably ask for a pair of nail scissors.

When he’s finished giving himself a trim, he’ll want a broom to sweep up.

He’ll start sweeping.

He might get carried away and sweep every room in the house.

He may even end up washing the floors as well.

When he’s done, he’ll probably want to take a nap.

You’ll have to fix up a little box for him with a blanket and a pillow.

He’ll crawl in, make himself comfortable, and fluff the pillow a few times.

He’ll probably ask you to read him a story.

When you read to him from one of your picture books, he'll ask to see the pictures.

When he looks at the pictures, he’ll get so excited that he’ll want to draw one of his own. He’ll ask for paper and crayons.

He’ll draw a picture. When the picture is finished, he’ll want to sign his name, with a pen.

Then he’ll want to hang his picture on your refrigerator. Which means he’ll need Scotch tape.

He’ll hang up his drawing and stand back to look at it. Looking at the refrigerator will remind him that he’s thirsty.

So…he’ll ask for a glass of milk.

And chances are that if he asks for a glass of milk, he’s going to want a cookie to go with it.

Marry Day - March. 28

Yesterday seems to be a marry day. Two of my very good friends married at the same day. Kun, got married in Seattle. Ge married in China. Two hearts finally beating as one. Wish them love and happy forever. :)　
当乡下人， 眼看着周围的朋友一天天都进城而去。 一缕淡淡的孤寂萦绕在空气中，久久不散．．．城里一定很美吧？　：Ｐ

Happy woman's day!

A happy day, got Irene's tulip. She can always make me feeling special :)

Zhao yi get the admission in USC, after talked to Chang, seems he has a chance of getting fundings. That's great. Really hope these 2 great friends can meet together.

Finished French comprehensive test, thanks for the patient help from Tom :) But I should work more on my French.

Went to the vocal power workshop, seems I should choose to be an actor ;P


Some cards and words recieved from my friends... My big treasure.

>From Veronica,

I greet the Godess in you, thank you for your wonderful card and am honoured
by learning that I have the privilege to inspire and encourage people like
you. It is indeed your gift to me! I just know you will do outstandingly in
academics as in life. By the way, I'd like to point you to a marvelous book
I just read: "Force vs. Power", by David Hawkins, 1995.

All the best,
always. Love,

>From Irene,

You can do almost anything you put your mind to,
You can swim the deepest ocean and climb the highest peak.Be a doctor or fly
a plane. you can face adversity and still walk tall. You are
strong,beautiful and compassinate,and much more than words could ever say.
Today is yours and is every other day!


>From Na,

I would rather be a tree, beautiful and less suffering....

>From Dana
Thank you dear Wendy, your card brought tears to my eyes and I thought I
must have done something right if I get a card like this. Yes, being a
woman is a gift, although hard many times; being a mother is a wonderful
experience and I wouldn't exchange that with anything in the world.
I too admire you for being so brave and living by yourself so far away
from home, tackling at this difficult job as a graduate student, in a
challenging field, in a different language and culture, while still
keeping a nice and optimistic attitude for life. I wish my sons found
girls like you to marry later on in life, but you know what, they are
really difficult to find. The guy who's gonna marry you is pretty lucky,
and he'd better behave:-) or I'll kick his bottom:-)

rouge V.S. blanc

Bought the first lottery in Rooster year, in her life , intensionally. 2$ donated in a second with the scrach out... She thought this might bring some wave to the sea, but disappoint again.

Seagulls sometimes bring the news from the other coast, said that Rooster year has come and the ice is melting, and the spring is coming soon. This can make her alive for a moment, but she still don't find the way to break the ice here, athough big waves are shouting under the thick ice.... Hibernating for too long, but spring hasn't come. Or spring has come long time ago, she just don't know how to get out of the wooden cave. Living with rouge, while feeling blanc, etrange.

Only dolphine knew that the sea is sleeping...
She ask , will the sakura be blossoming very soon?
