Adam, Megan and Matt

This is my first time to watch American Idol. It is amazing!

This is the eighth season, the best series I truly believe. I spent almost a whole week to watch it. It not only entertains me, but also reminds me, never to be ARROGANT. I love Adam( Kris and Danny is just so so, but I hate Allison). He should be the American Idol, and he always proves that he deserves the title. How could he fall into bottom three? When Ryan announced the result, OOOHHH, it is crazy! I love Matt and Megan, too. They are the types I want to be and hope to own. I felt a great pity when they were out of the competition. It is cruel...

The other property I learned from Adam is to be of FORTITUDE. He is No. 1, he deserves that and he believes that. But the result was totally out of our expectation! Crazy result! But this did not beat him down at all, even either give him any negative effect. The unfair result inflame the talent within him. It makes him stronger and stronger. He shows to me, to all of the people who are in despair!

Game Happiness

Things seem to develop in the reverse way opposite to my initial belief.

Third time moving to a new apartment, least but not the last. When I first moved in, I felt homeless and uncomfortable. I've got used to one style of life. Familiar rooms, familiar people. Now I need to learn them further again. As days goes on, the living here is actually not as boring as I've expected, but something fulfilling and interesting. What makes the change? The computer games!

Usually when experiencing an great trip, people get relaxed and full of energy. While I felt kind of blankness and afraid, vacuity of with my current life and afraid of my future. So many annoyances harass me, I can't escape. Now I need breathe fresh air. There are so many beauties which I can dig to ease my current situation. It is very important to find the pace of life, doing things within schedule.

At daytime, I can do some reading work. Reading some SPE articles and reciting everyday English words, more over, I can write a blog. Then it comes my happy time. We four guys share one common hobby: playing computer games. I could say that I am good at games, from the very beginning I learn to play. But now I lack that confidence, and I lag behind. Not because of my fading interests, but I inherently believe I will addict to them. Everything has two sides. I sacrifice my game time to do what I hold of significance. In reallity, I miss the opportunity to exercise my brain, and enrich my study life. Also I could share more common topics when talking with others. I do not want to be thought as man lives a monotonous life. Besides studying, I need to learn how to play!

Trip New Orleans

Sometimes travel to new places leads to great transformation.

Thursday morning, I got up early not as usual. Have nothing to do but browsing in the internet. Benny came by and invited me to have a short visit of New Orleans. Actually, I inclined to do that. I just did not want to bring inconvenience to the family. Although I gave ambiguous words, I accepted the invitation in the end.

This was the first major city I had ever visited in America. A lot of skyscrapers and overpasses. All were typical for a major city. However, it missed the most important, crowds of people, fashionable people. When walking around the streets, there were always spaces to walk across. What we can admire was mainly the view of the buildings, the fixtures. In almost four days time, we visited the Lafayette park, U Tulane, U Loyola, aquarium(iMax), Big houses, zoo and national day night. It was an amazing experience.

I have been idling the boring vacation for too long. It gradually blunt and benumb my ambition. I tended to plan a common life, the life I thought of ease, but actually boring and unrespectable...I need to travel to new places, to pick up motivation, to ignite my inner flame!
