Thursday night


Last Thursday night was a great night! After the last class of a week, we decided to go to Manhattan to have fun. We got Time Square at about 11 pm and happened to meet lots of people who just finished the well-regarded broadway show - The Color OfPurple! I've seen two broadway shows, Fiddler On The Roof and Phantom Of Opera, when I came to NY during 2004 summer. Both of them are fantastic! I've heard that some musical show displayed by Disney such as Lion King is also very good. Now I have to consider which one should I see next...However, we couldn't not just walk around Time Square, we have to find something specific to do. Thus, after a short discussion, we took subway to a smll but nice Japanese restaurant in eastern village. We ordered Tako烧 and Sapporo! Surprising, we found that Sapporo tasted much better than Budweiser beer, although its a little more expensive! That night, we talked, drank great beer, and had a really wonderful time!
I love my friends! Going out with them is a great thing to do! I'm looking forward to next crazy night :)

no need a title

It was 2:15 in the afternoon. The weather was good. Sunshine spreaded throught the leaves. I was jogging, with my IPod, around the place I live. Suddenly I noticed a woman standing next a van looked really nervous! I ran toward her to see if she needed any help. I found that she was in trouble removing her husband, who is sweating and even not able to move himself. The woman told me that she had called the emergency center but she was told that her husband needed lie down before the ambulance came. So I helped the woman to remove her husband. The man looked really terrible! Every time he was about to close his eyes we woke him immediately!! I was really worried that he would pass out!! We moved him out off the van, and made him lie down. Fortunately, the ambulance arrived soon, and took the man to the hospital.....
I really hope he's all right.

Worst on-line game ever

Have you ever played on-line game? You might heard about either World of Warcraft or EVE...the most famous on-line games in the world. However, the game I'm going to show you, called "FX Game", is THE WORST on-line game ever!!!My International Finance professor, a old Canadian guy, asked all students to play FX Game on-line on my last semester in Peking University. FX Game is actually a simulated foreign exchange trade game. I opened my account this Apr.17, and I chose USD as my account currency. The trading was closed out this Apr.26, with the account balance of $140,873.12. To make right choices on my major trade - EUR/USD, the professor also asked us to review lots of economic journals, which might provide some help information for our decision. This game really took me too much time reading business journals and arranging my portfolio. I really didn't learn a lot from this game! The most important thing I leart is that FX Game is the most horrible on-line game ever!!! If you don't believe me, please try yourself on http://fxgame.oanda.com/

Two weird ladies

Today I'm going to tell you a story about two weird ladies who did two different things on my way home, from Mahattan, last Saturday night. I met weird lady number one when I was waiting for R train at the subway station on 42St. I noticed that she kept s smiling at me although I wasn't really sure if she Was smiling at me. Then, she got on the subway (I'm not sure which train it was, but it was definitely not R train). The door was not shut yet, and I found that she was still smiling at me...Soon, the train left, and I got on my R train. Surprisingly, I met this weird lady again, at Jackson Hts where I was going to transfer to F train. This time, she walked toward me, and said that she had noticed me at Time Square (how weird is that!).
However, we did not talk a lot and I took F train back to 169St. On Q30 to 210St, I met weird lady number two, who was sooooo mean that I've never seen, seriouly! I got on the bus, and I sat down on the seat behind here. Suddenly she started yelled at me, she said that I could not sit behind because that way I would hurt her. Well, I didn't want to get into trouble so I changed my seat, but she was still yelling. A friendly black guy sitting behind me told me not to be upset and he moved to the seat behind weird lady number two. This act really enraged the woman!!! She started saying lots of dirty words to the blakc guy in a very loud voice!! She also said that the black guy was drunk and something like "FBI will catch you!!!!". Well, I really didn't care much about her yelling. However, these two weird experiences will be kept in my mind for a long time, I believe.
