UBC CUBE club presented this Graduation Dinner Boat Cruise Party there. Lot of friends went there, so did I. I was going to join the party with my friend Dongdong, but somehow he couldn't make it. lucky that i still know some other friends and for sure i had a good time there with them. To my surprise, CS student indeed look good when they dressed up. We were talking, drinking and dancing. the party was finished around 10:40pm, we went to Carolyn's place, playing game cube (mario party) and bridge. A great evening to remember.
Finally, 4 years of study, we are reaching the end of the line. and i do wish everyone could make their dreams come ture!

Since i have had too much works to do in the past month, i didn't really have chance to get close to the natrue, hiking or walking alone the beach. So, i did cherish and enjoy this time. we walked for a long trip,from 1:30pm till 6pm.
the feeling was cool when you walking around in the forest. the river was beside, birds singing with you all the way. i was carry my tripod. although it's heavy, i just don't want miss any shoot or leave any regret if i didn't carry it.
what amazed me was the wild lily in yellow. blooming all over the valley. How wonderful the nature is!

another thing that out of my concern is the FTP speed is too slow. it indeed took me 4 hrs to upload 10mb files. but, after seeing the web through the internet, i felt so great. and it worths every single minute that i spent.
still wanna thank the boss of SEGO, giving me such a good chance to work for them.

there were around 15 people in the party. we brought the food to Carolyn's place. Since it's final period, we decide to make the party around the noon and finish around 7pm. then, we could have time to study.
however, it ended around 8:30pm and some of them still going out have dinner/fun together.
the party was great. people making fun of each other, playing game cube,(mario party...etc), singing karaok and talking. oh, i brought Nonno to the party as well. hee hee he is cute and indeed ate lot of food. ^_^!!
after eating the cake, Wei, Lily and James opened their gifts/ :) it's always sweet to see the moment when someone open the gift. the smiles they have are special.

3 months agao, we were sitting here, watching the stars,
the skylight of Vancouver, talking about our life, talking about the future. 3 months later, i was here alone,
holding my camera, capturing the moment which i want to share with you.
Burnaby Mountain, frankly, the night view isn't that great here. it's not the best location to watch
vancouver's night view. but it's the sweetest place to enjoy love. it's a the place to be remembered
it's the place where you wanna go last time, but i couldn't find a chance to take you there.
 |
wish this pic could make it up and could also make you feel better from the stomach pain!
i will be here with you!
Go back
i have this heavy headache for whole day already. everything i saw was in the slow motion.
tired, sleepy and feeling cold for all day, extremely uncomfortable.
i hate this feeling, specially when the final is coming.
last night, some family friends came over to have this nice dinner at the backyard together.
everyone brought some food and eat together. mom made some appetizers. kent was cooking some kind of fish......
 |
food was simple, but we did enjoy the time...chating, drinking, talking about travel and life here in Vancouver.
 |
i also took the pic for nonno and cheeta, hee hee...nonno was resting on the floor. cheeta, as always, was eating and EATING.. he is a fat cat.... :(

Q1. what you gonna do? if your parents or someone you respect telling you that the way you are living is not right.
are you going to change? or stick with the way you are?
Q2. what you gonna chose? if you are in the middle of no where, but just right on this moment, you have to make a decision which will either lead you to death or glory. and what's worse, you can't see the result! what you could do is wait or fight for years and years, then one day, you could realized that the decision you made was good or wrong. however, at that time, knowing the result will not help you anything, anymore.
so, this is life. this is the life which a 20 somthing young man gonna face. this is the life i am facing.
are you confident about your future, your dream? base on what? ok, thinking about the people you know at your same age who are indeed better than you. let's call them GroupA. and then, thinking about the people you know at your same age who are indeed worse than you. let's call them GroupB. and now, close your eyes, imagine what kind of life GroupA could have in 10 years. pretty? wonderful? is the life you imagined close to your dream? better than your dream? nah..... i don't think so.... and now, imagine what kind of life GroupB could have in 10 years? i think it could be definitely worse than your dream, right?
what it means is that if i keep doing what i am doing now everyday, (i mean no change at all) no matter what kind of fucking theory i am following, my life in 10 years will be 80% between GroupA's and GroupB's. ... is it the life i am pursuiting? NEVER!!!!.
so, the conclusion is i need change!
then, i go back to the 2nd question, what i gonna choose to change? there are millions of ways i could go through. each one of them could lead me to a different life. what i gonna choose? it's a multiple choice question without direct answer. it's a multiple choice question that can't be avoided and i have to do it right.
is it the life i am facing? or is it the life we are facing?
i was driving on the highway for almost 2 hrs tonight and i came out with:
for Q1. please "COME AS YOU ARE".
for Q2. just follow your heart. there will only be the way which you don't dare to walk through, but there will never be the wrong way. even if you decide to be a mafia, then please try your best to be "Don Corleone" and i will call you godfather.
i think what i figured out during the driving was, "be a hero of your own life. no matter what it is, just do it perfectly!"

when i took break in the afternoon at FSC, i was walking around the building, seeing lot of dandelions beside the parking lot.
lucky that i brought my camera with me, so i could take pic of it.
 |
lately, i went to FSC to study everyday, from 12noon till 11pm.
i found myself deeply in love with the building. hee hee
b4 we (carolyn, Mr.A, Alice, Yvonne , Daniel...etc) left, Mr.A took my camera and photographied me.
although he didn't even mean to make the pic like this, but it indeed looks cool.
since the focus point is on the far right hand side and with a small F-Stop number, only my hand is in focus.
 |
enn, what are those? Coffee from starbucks, a cookie, coke and HOT water?
 |
by the way, there is an interesting article about something really cool and new.
Sapphire: A Liquid That Won't Get Things Wet
i don't know about you, but to me, it made me exciting for a while.
human is indeed cool.
Go back
my brain is empty now. and i am extremely tired and hungry.
the exam is hard, 18 pages in 2.5 hrs.
bloody!!!!!!!!!!!!!

today is about Nonno and cheeta. it may be the last time that i saw them... i missed them alot.
nonno and cheeta are like my children. hee, my little boys..and i watched them grow up from babies.
and whenever i thought about that i may not see them again....i feel empty and sad.
but things gonna be moved on.
and i do wish them happy forever.
 |
after nonno and cheeta left, i watched a movie which i wanna watch for long time. "a walk to remember"
frankly, the story line is not special and the actors are not those super stars.
but it touched me by the love in the movie and the song "only hope".
if you didn't have any chance to watch it. then get it and watch it with the one you love.
if you didn't have any chance to listen the "only hope" , click here for the mp3. please right click it and "save target as".
i still remember a talk in the movie, a talk about love:
love is always patient and kind. It is never jealous.
love is never boastful or conceited.
It is never rude or selfish.
It does not take offense and is not resentful.
love takes no pleasure in other people's sins, but delights in the truth.
it is always ready to excuse to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.
Go back
they are like my children, standing there, waiting for dad. hee hee am i too xxx?
 |
a day like today, belong to fooling around. although i will have final exam later on, i just don't have any feeling
to sit down and study. why? i don't know. i listened the "only hope" for hundreds time today. and i am still listenning it now.
i thought about the movie i watched last night. why it makes me feel real? because i do feel that love could make people
change whithout noticing. like the guy, Lendon, who is totally changed for his love. and i remember he said that "Jamie has faith on me".
i was touched by this word. isn't it wonderful that someone has faith on you, believing you could do anything?
i am lucky. as i know there is one for me, who also has faith on me and i won't let her down.
the time for going back Beijing is close. i have lot of plans for this summer, traveling, working...etc.
i just wish i could do them one by one and enjoy the summer which i wait for so long.
i will keep updating my website after i going back and posting the photo i take in china.
for those friends who didn't have chance go to China, i will try my best to show you what i gonna experience.
for those friends who are already in china, i will tell you where i am and what i am doing.
it's been a nice day, sunny and warm.
April is going faster than i thought. it's 18th already. and i am excited about going back.
anyway, time for study...........FIGHT for future.
behold, they send you as sheep in the wolves!
Go back
I may be older and wiser, I may have lived another life since then, but i know that when my time
eventually comes, the memories of that day will be the final images that float through my mind.
i still love her, you see, and I've never removed my ring. In all these years, I've never felt the desire to do so.
I breathe deeply, taking in the fresh spring air. Though Beaufort has changed and I have changed,
the air itself has not. It is still the air of my childhood, the air of my seventeenth year, and when I finally exhale,
I'm fify-seven once more. But this is okay. I smile slightly, looking toward the sky, knowing there's one thing
I still haven't told you:
I now believe, by the way, that miracles can HAPPEN. "
Nicholas Sparks "a walk to remember"
Go back
the weather these days is so good, big sunny day, clear sky, warm temperature with a little bit wind.
everything is so tempting. and you can't just sit down in some building, watching nothing but the text books.
so, i went down to the UBC beach, at least, trying my best to enjoy the sunshine.
 |
this is exactly what i love. you can see the mountain still with snow on top, but people are surfing in the ocean.
i love Vancouver in summer.
 |
it is the first time that i try the red filter and found it quite interesting.
but next time, instead of blocking the whole lense, i should just block half of it. so that the sky will turn into red but
i could still keep the foreground.
anyway, it's always nice to try something new.
oh man, good luck on your 319 final exam tomorrow!!!
then it's my father, he helped me grow up into a man with passion and a healthy mind.
and then, i need to thank you, you give me the direction of where i should belong to for the rest of my life.
it's pretty busy to me lately, final exams indeed took forever to prepare. i just realized that there is a week that
i didn't take or post any picture. am i lossing my passion toward photography?
Never!!!
the feeling is so special, once the camera is in your hand. the whole world stops for you, being a model for you.
all you need, is following your heart, making your decision and then CLICK then the memory will never be lost.
i am 25 years old today. looking back at my past, i am glad that i didn't have too much regrets.
and i am happy with the way i am now. although i have lot of problems, i believe that i could overcome everything.
because i have faith and i believe miracles!
for my future, i don't have a long-term plan. everything is changed so fast. and i think the only way to survive is
keep myself open, by doing it, i have to keep making short term plans and do it perfectlly.
i didn't take new photo so far, instead, i will post some other pic , showing my younger childhood.
