Chinese Thread

<p>someone told me before girls in Wellesley date guys in Harvard, or something like that, I don’t remember now.
yea be patient is the right attitude. oh and there is always risk to love someone. if you don’t want get hurt, don’t love anyone.
just learned valentine’s day is also called single-awareness day, hehe.</p>

<p>They do… mostly MIT guys cuz wellesley “collaborates” with MIT on everything. Basically when we register for classes its sometimes even easier to register for MIT classes since all u do is fill out this form and get the “registar” to sign it. For some advanced wellesley courses you need the “instructor’s” signature… and its a lot easier to get the registar’s signature. The charter aka “exchange bus” stops at all the MIT academic buidlings and then at different main boarding campuses like frat houses and dorms… harvard… maybe back in the days. I have some friends dating harvard guys, but transportation is a lot less convienent unless you have a car since u’d have to take the subway to mit (which is like 2 stops so not too far) and then take the exchange bus. </p>

<p>i thought it was going to be a lot more frequent… but in reality… we dont get to meet guys that often. It’s either weekends or parties. and the guys you meet at parties arent really the ones u’d want to date. guys never come to wellesley during the day… mostly on saturday or friday nights when wellesley throw huge parties at the gorgeous society houses that no-one lives in</p>

<p>today i was looking at the rocu website.it’s really way too complicated for me.cc forum is SO much easier.is anyone else here in it?
ok i’m just being bored at work as usual.
i just realized my spring break’s in three weeks!!!yayyay.how about everyone else’s?</p>

<p>lol</p>

<p>my spring break is 3/3 -13th, anyone else?</p>

<p>yea i am on rocu too. it’s not that a great site. oh does anyone think the admin called ***phenex is too friendly? he sent me a message asking “can we be friends” right after I registered. then…i don’t think he ever replied.</p>

<p>OH OH OH!!!he just added me as his msn friend too!hmmm,now that you’ve told me i kind regretted adding him.oh well,not a big deal anyways.</p>

<p>中国历史上死的最窝囊的十个人</p>

<p>评选的标准是,入选的人都是是当时的英雄人物。所谓死的窝囊,是指他们或者由于不应该有的失误,或者由于命运的捉弄,很丢人地死去了,根本不符合自己的历史地位。而如果他们不死,是很有可能改变历史的。象项羽、岳飞,袁崇焕,之类的没有入选,因为他们的死法是一种英雄的死法。
  1.齐桓公。一代霸主,竟然被自己的宦官饿死在宫中,窝囊吧。</p>

<p>  2.赵武灵王。胡服骑射的发起者,富于冒险和创新精神的一代君主,曾经冒充使者亲自前往秦国勘查地形,准备攻秦。没想到被自己的儿子发动叛乱,困死在行宫。否则,秦国没那么容易做大。</p>

<p>  3.李牧。一代名将,秦国统一的最大障碍。率赵军抗击秦国时,却被*臣陷害。李牧当机立断,连夜挂印出走,使得来抓他的人大吃一惊。不可思议的是,李牧竟然被那些人又追上杀死了。一代名将,居然也不会使用反跟踪法什么的。 </p>

<p>  4.韩信。中国历史上罕见的用兵鬼神莫测、战无不胜的大将,政治大方向上却总是犯错误。被刘邦玩弄于股掌之中倒也罢了,最后居然被一个手无缚鸡之力的女人设计捕杀,真是窝囊! </p>

<p>  5.关羽。一个威震天下的名将,在水淹七军、直抵许昌的事业最高峰,却被自己的盟友袭取后方,败走麦城,又被人伏击,被生擒!!斩首。这不是一个武圣人的死法。 </p>

<p>  6.高仙芝。横扫西域的唐将,安史之乱中镇守潼关。由于兵少,采取坚守战略,竟然被唐玄宗认为"出击不力"赐死。究竟该不该出击呢?他的继任者哥舒翰带着增援的十几万精兵出击,结果全军覆没,潼关失守,唐玄宗出逃。 </p>

<p>  7.黄巢。纵横天下,倾覆唐朝的豪杰,与自己的兄弟、妻子一起被自己的部下杀死邀功。可悲的是,那个部下又被唐将杀死,同黄巢的首级一起报往朝廷。 </p>

<p>  8.宋徽宗。一个天才的画家、浪漫的皇帝取遭受到最不浪漫的命运:被金军俘虏运往黑龙江。我总觉得,象宋朝这样经济、文化发达的朝代(也许是中国经济最发达的朝代)灭亡本身就是一种悲剧。 </p>

<p>  9.李自成。不用多说了,正因为死的窝囊,所以才会有他出家当和尚的传说。 </p>

<p>  10.石达开。要死就死呗,一定要玩一把投降,结果人家也不上当。 </p>

<p>  还有一个就是被袁崇焕在宁远用大炮轰死的努儿哈赤。</p>

<p>awesome long weekend… me, my textbooks, and chinese dvds. i dont mind studying if i can watch them… altho… this is taking longer than normal… </p>

<p>2 hours of normal studying, when added chinese dvds, becomes like 4… but then… i dont care if i have to study 10 hours if i get to watch them. 1 reason y i love wellesley: tons of tons of tons of chinese soaps. i finished 蛋白质女孩 and the entire new 天龙八部 with 刘亦菲… now im watching this soap that no one probably heard of: 天下第一情 with 陆毅… it look like it was filmed in the early 90s… like 1992 or something… and its so weird watching it cuz everything was so old, like shanghai… u know right now theres 3x as much buildings as show on the screen, and the computers are huge old things… before windows! 陆毅 looks extremely cute tho… since he’s so young. i like him a lot in 男才女貌 with 林心如… and in the movie he graduated from MIT! but 男才女貌 was made in 2003 and he had a laptop and they talked about GPRS… totally different.</p>

<p>old films are so innocent… and i kind of miss communism. i mean… its so innocent. i sometimes have a strange desire of wanting to live in a 2 bedroom apartment in china with a 阳台 and the rooms are all squarish with no special architectual characteristics except its a cement block. i would have a twin bed, my parents in a slightly bigger room with a queen, i’d have my desk, a desklamp, my books… their bedroom probably functioning as the livingroom, i really could care less… dammit i think i was brainwashed… cuz i remember while i was in china last summer my favorite buildlings were 人民医院 and 电信局 cuz those buildings were government built about 20 years ago… they’re just cement blocks with windows. all the new buildings are all flashy and stuff and u cant even see the cement… but the cement blandness makes the building look sturdy and longlasting. unchanged. </p>

<p>what i loved the most about 西安 was the clock in between the 市政府 and 省政府… EVERY hour without fail from 6am - 10pm it strikes. it played the same song for at least 20 years… way before i was born. so EVERY hour EVERY day u can hear 东方红 and then dong… dong… dong… comes the hour chime.</p>

<p>you HAVE to watch 恶作剧之吻,it’s SOOO adorable.</p>

<p>innocense is a bliss really. do people really know what they’re getting themselves into? i mean… there’s absolutely no philosophical ideas holding us back in today’s world. in ancient china, there was always buddahism and confuscism… they teach you not to put so much emphasize on materialistic goods. but now days… everything becomes consumerism. i mean… i feel sooooo SAD sometimes when i remember the me 15 years ago. i used to cherish my things. now its like… if i break something, if i lost something… if its not too expensive, i really dont care. u think to urself… what does it matter? u gain some u lose some. its about maximizing returns, but losses are unpreventable. so as long as u make more money, its absolutely fine to lose some. so if i ruined a shirt, ill just go buy another one. back in the days my mom knitted me sweaters… and they were unique cuz no one else had the same thing… and i cherished all my clothe even if they werent like fashionable… it was more about function. but now… even my roommates like… hey! whats the point of you wearing jackets if they’re all cropped! and like i have sweaters that stop at your ribs like a wrap, but then they make these tube things nowdays that cover up your stomach so its like a tunic that goes from your ribs to your hips… wth! why can’t they just make a shirt! and why do i own these things!</p>

<p>hey van! i think i saw that on the shelf the other day when i was going through everything! i will definitely watch it next…</p>

<p>me getting overwhelmed: oh no! i dont know what to watch next! i have in my possession at the moment: 金粉世家, 四大名捕,长征, 捕蛇行动,别了温哥华,北洋水师… must finish before next week!</p>

<p>thats more than 150 hours of soap… that would take more than 6 days if u watch 24hrs/day</p>

<p>i saw 四大名捕 b4… ksci18 is all us HS dial up kids got</p>

<p>haha xo u r so transcendent! I have the same feeling too. I mean we don’t just live for huge houses and nice cars. Happy and peaceful life, good friends, aren’t they the real purpose of our lives? </p>

<p>ok I am so annoyed by all these mails from some honor societies, asking for $75 lifelong memebership fee, one and another. Don’t they just want my money? I am so poor…</p>
