A list of movie recently seen in the fall break:
The Lake House

Step Up
The Simpson movie
From ambition to meaning
Recently found that my music taste has shifted to classical music which I don't really enjoy much before, especially string.
Everything in the iPod now are basically Movie Music. Sweet to listen.
There are pictures and shots of movies rising into the head when the melody touch the feeling. What a great miracle.

I hope that some days you guys can crossover and have some production, should be wonderful to hear string with giutar.
The U of A library do have a great collections of DVDs of western movies.
Let's see "Clockwork orange" in the great Halloween~XD

中國網路流行字「烎」走紅
(明報)2009年10月19日 星期一 11:40中國網路流行字語不斷推陳出新，繼「囧」字後，「烎」字最近爆紅，被網民賦予「霸氣、彪悍、勇猛」之意。
「烎」讀音為「yin」，與「囧」意思相同，代表著「光明」。不過，也和「囧」一樣，「烎」也被網民賦予許多「光明」以外的含義，包括「霸氣」、「彪悍」、「勇猛」等。
此外，因為「烎」字也連帶產生了許多網路流行語，例如「烎你就像碾一隻螞蟻」、「烎你沒商量」、「寂寞已經過時了，咱玩的是烎！」、「男人，重要的不是帥，是烎！」
報道形容，「囧」主要是表達一種自嘲態度和戲謔心態，「烎」卻有一定攻擊性，如果「囧」代表著陰柔、幽默和中庸，「烎」就是代表著陽剛、明朗和直接。
而「烎」比「囧」更能代表當下的網絡生態，因為當前中國網民正處於四處「開火」的時代，透過網路掌握發言權的網民，正肆意享受著獲得發言管道、表達自己觀點的樂趣與快感。
報道分析，在這種樂趣與快感的驅動下，偶爾會有言辭過激、輕浮無物之嫌，「開火」難免成為逞一時口舌之快的代名詞，也因此產生了「網路暴民」的說法。
例如「烎你就像碾一隻螞蟻！」，就是一些網民遮掩不住的暴戾，缺乏對人和事物理性、嚴謹的判斷，讓「烎」這個字沾染上了浮躁的色彩。
但是對大多數網民來說，「烎」主要代表的是「正義感、良心、責任」，是路見不平的一聲吼。而且正是由於近年來網路上「烎」聲一片，才讓那麼多涉及機構腐敗、官員墮落的事件被頻繁曝光。

Success
The words of wisdom in " Fame" :
What is success? It is not how much money you earn, how many people think you are doing a great job. It is everyday when you wake up, you are passionate to fly out of the door and start to do what you enjoy.
This piece of word is hanging in my mind for these few days.
Btw, I just can't sleep tonight. I do have a problem to stop my brain processing when I am very focused to study. =.=

Cross Culture Marriage
On the way back to WEM, a lady sat right beside me.
I was listening to music and looking through the bus windows.
After 20 mintues, the lady talked to me.
She asked, " Will the coming winter be your first time in Canada?"
I said, " Yes, definitely. I am from Hong Kong and I just don't use to a winter with -30 something."
She said, "I have an old friend who is a Chinese as well. We met for 47 years and we are very close friends."
I said,"Is he or she from Hong Kong?"
She said, " He is now in Shanghai and during the 1960 people in Canada won't accept cross culture marriage. We studied together in the U of Montreal, we really love each other."
I said, " Do you guys study French in the U?"
She said, " No, he studied Engineering in Shanghai and he is working the Shanghai as an engineer. By the way , what are you stuying?"
I said," Biology and Chemistry, aiming at medical study."
She said," Good for you! Work hard! Good luck! I got to go now, nice to talk to you=)."
She got off the bus. She have struggled for 20 minutes before talking to me about her story. Hope that she doesn't got off and hear more about their story. The story is much more intersting than the bus ride. XD

Psho test ended today.
1) Cycling down to have a "breakfast" as dinner
2) Fame
The movie is not as good as expected. The plot lacks a main theme. It's like a mixture of high school musical +Step up x Musical.
3) Chinese restaurant have noodle
Right after the movie when I am cycling back to the dorm, it is too cold...that I saw a Chinese Restaurant nearby. Quickly went inside for a dish of "Shanghai noodle" which is not bad. The lady is from Vietnam who came to here for living during the 1980s when the refugee came here. Well, we talk so much about the life here. She really visit hk and vietnam frequently. She loves Lady Maket and Temple street. =)
After the dinner, she said, " Pay me only $5" (actually it cost $10). I said, " No No , I should pay." Well....I only have $100. She said , " Pay me next time!=), we are Chinese as a family." Sweet.
I can call her for take away Chinese food. She said she can stem me fishes if I like! It is a warm and sweet night.
4) Culture exchange 101
My toilet-mate and his sister gather in the dome. I bring along with a pot of Chinese tea（普梨） and " 糯米糍 for cultural exchange=)
Kyle like the tea, however for the 糯米糍 its a bit different for them, esepcailly the black sesame.
Glad that they invite me for Easter holiday to their house. See if I can join.
