 8月25号，在经过多重努力和多重考虑，国际转账，外币申报，参考消息，网上查询后，我去星光买了一个尼康D90单反相机。

这个相机买来真是不容易，下决心是最难的 － 奥林巴斯小小银灰色的数码相机忠心为我服务在复旦的每天，现在要去英国了，就要抛弃她了吗？糟糠之妻总是这样的结局吗？我不始乱终弃，那是要申请二房了吗？我对奥林巴斯是有感情的。可以说这是我自己的第一台相机，购置于一生第一个重大转折点上，两年如一日的在我身边，帮助我记录虽不多姿却非常精彩以及惊心动魄的微电生活。它和我一起去欧洲看美景，和我一起上大学物理看远观不可亵玩的倪刚老师，和我一起参加07202中秋晚会，和我一起去西藏酒吧和各种各样的酒吧，和我一起去租房，和我一起去丽江大理昆明西双版纳，和我去骑自行车，和我一起恋爱，和我一起在自习室走学术路线，和我一起去看姥姥姥爷，和我一起过春节...没办法列举清楚了，我的生活奥林巴斯知道。是，她是不太细腻，也没有多少才华，她能做的只是简朴的流水账来记录瞬间，她有时记录我手抖的能力比记录美丽的景色还高，她经常看不远也想不远，但是她在我生活中生了根，我曾经不能想象美丽时光划过我的脸时奥林巴斯不在。但是现在我有了尼康，也许远足时的伴侣便是它了，奥林巴斯也许会躺在抽屉里单调的继续一天一天过，再有美好的微笑，惊艳的建筑，和华丽的心情，我也许就会和尼康分享。奥林巴斯依赖于我，我不要她，她便没有精彩可看，她便只能变成一个废物。

实际上，她的确不怎么能干。但是，还是纪念我的奥林巴斯。

Blanks will be filled when i have more time


went to buy train tickets
harry potter 6 movie tickets for tomorrow night
took bus 945 to yu garden
visited yu garden admission fee 30 each
met Tuyen from Viatnam there, fascinating individual
went to temple of the town gods, admission 10
some guy wanted to take a picture with julia with his girlfriend because julia was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and he was curious
felt dizzy and weak again under the burning sunshine and the inescapable heat, typical for shanghai
had to rest in Burger King for something like twenty minutes
then went to nanxiang steamed bun restaurant, had a dozen of crap powder pork steamed bun, fantastic taste
went shopping at the yuyuan bazaar, had t shirt, some haibao mascot of expo thingumies that you would hang onto your key chains, 
took the bonbon motorbike from yu garden to east nanjingj road line 2 metro station, but realised that we were up close to the pedestrian street, so went to visit there first in broad daylight 
took the metro line 2 for one stop and got off at lujiazui, where we saw pearl tower and fincance centre, and jinmao tower with our own eyes, got out pictures taken by some professional with the price of 18
some other family from another province of china also wanted to take a picture with julia 
went to have hong kong food at grand shopping mall, had panorama window view to the pearl tower and the aquarium of shanghai, wonderful seat, delicious food
got dark, visited pearl tower, and the other two tall buildings again, some american approached for direction, apparently attracted by my american accent
got back to puxi, took another bonbon motorbike to the bund, the driver was an official of the government of China and had darn master degree, now he was retired and wanted to have some fun by taking care of the tourists up there, he said he would have studied english more if he had known it turned out so helpful and instructive, didn't go to the boat trip plan to go there the day after tomorrow,
the bund was closed because of the reconstruction of a bridge for the expo 2010, so we took a walk alongside zhonghan east number one road and observed the world banks including abm-amro, met a new yorker who's here to teach english as a second language, talked about chicago jazz and blues in the fifties, do i really have a strong american accent ? he was convinced that i came from the states, darn ! what are people gonna think of me in birmingham ? some stupid abc ?
 mom came to pick us up at near the bund, and back at home we had dumplings handmade by my mom
tomorrow's gonna be a good day just like today ! 

Tomorrow she'll show up at Pudoing International Airport. I'll go pick her up and start the adventures lying ahead !
 

So it says in the guidance.  C.R.A.P.

You must have been stunned by how almost beautifully it crafts nonsense and bureaucratic procedures or the problem is your own.  

Seven days, Endless paperwork, translation company, copying and printing and typing, many many phone calls, lots of ambiguities, big big questions marks cramming in my head, photo booth, banks, certificates, deposits, lots of waiting and queueing, organising, re-organising, be needing something, be needing something not, do submit online and do NOT submit online, many useless minor details about personal background and immigration history, special telephone card needed so as to ring the embassy, visa application centre outsourced. 

But today i after all managed to get all the things together and successfully handed them in at the British Visa Application Centre in Shanghai. And hopefully in a week or two i can obtain my visa in person !

I've gone through so much for you Britain, please don't turn me down. 

 The summer holiday started from 29th of June. At the same night, went to karaoke with a bunch of people, stayed wide awake, sang A-mei and Faye Wong, drove back home at 4:30 in the morning, and slept till 6 in the afternoon, felt terribly weak and dizzy, a whole day's past already.
1st of July, went to movies with some friends, Night At The Museum 2, Transformers 2, student coupons, McDonald's, awkwardness and smoothness all along. Tom's World, game arcade, weakness and happiness all along. H&M, hat, dress and very pretty handbags. Korean bbq, with an annoying company and a very friendly boy, what a pleasant meal, just the four of us. Then ice skating, i'm the daughter of Netherlands! I changed from a green hand to a pro in the matter of like 15 minutes. some girl even approached me for tips for the apparent quick learning. Milk Tea, drive them to Zhangjiang, papa got mad because i didn't come back home before midnight. Weird kind of a day.
3rd of July, went to Fudan Foreign Affairs Office to help Ms. Liu out, met an interesting girlie. Then went back to my zhangjiang dorm, to get a few things of mine. Had cold noodle with my mom, went to Carrefour, learnt to cook.
6th of July, moved all my stuffs from my dorm, cleared everything out, had cold noodles, went shopping, got flowers for my hair, got flowers for my top, got summery dresses and all, got another recipe back home.
My Life Is A Mess.

 


我突然荣升etta james第一的忠实粉丝了，哇，我只是一周听了她三百多次而已啊。多少周我听diana krall或者aretha franklin也超过三百次了吧，可是因为基数大了所以就不能当第一名，现在好容易终于成功一次！所以我要纪念一下这个光荣的时刻，因为我已经见到未来的我听etta的次数会多过aretha,所以这样的美事也许再也不会发生啦。

 The work has got to be one classic. Two musicians each one of a kind, talented and popular, joined hands with the work of a folk rock music album, [ Raising Sand ]. 
Alison Krauss, steaming hot bluegrass diva, didn't in particular show off or even present her celestial voice. Instead she did all she could to provoke the gentle side of Robert Plant with her soothing and tranquil singing .
Robert Plant, founder vocal of Led Zepplin, only an iconic rock star, tossed the hardcore shell out of his performance and beautifully assisted Alison's part. 






Beauty is Harmony. 

        刘老师应该会给我们发通知书，以及伯明翰大学给新生的一个全套包裹。我很期待，不知道苦苦热卡教授有没有帮我及时通报信息，将录取状态从有条件改成无条件。不过就算是有条件也没有关系，他们的错误我能够接受，而且咱们光明正大的雅思八分随时验明正身。爸爸说要注意获取几方面的信息，比如具体一些很重要的时间节点，和一些租房银行汇率的信息。我要好好像爸爸学习，考虑事情要更加全面彻底。
       中午见了晶晶，刚从印度回来的她两只胳膊上竟然有深棕色的纹身，从手腕一直到肘关节，真醋，虽然不是永久性的（要是永久性就太拉风了），但是也是在印象上对晶晶有了更新，哈哈，和低速小说里毒贩子Lance的妻子Jody越来越像了。跟她开玩笑说要配得上这个名字就差个鼻环了，哇哈哈。从印度给我带了条裤子，裤口儿是松紧带儿的，但是裤裆竟然掉到了小腿肚中央，从后面拉出有一米之长，一条好裤子啊，什么时候公开场合第一次穿，我这里向大家保证，一定双语写篇日志到处发表。家里有了些变化，希望是向更好的方向发展，祝福我美丽的姑娘晶。
        下午见了深申，可爱的姑娘穿着性感的浅粉/肉色吊带背心，酥胸半隐半现，走路时欢快地滴答滴答，一条白色地沟沟却是永恒不变，真是诱人极了。我俩一边吃快餐，一边讨论男人，她的男人，我的男人。结论是，男人怎么可以那么纯洁，男人怎么可以那么一根筋，男人怎么可以那么没有情趣，但是，男人，特别是我们的老男人，又怎么可以那么让人着迷找到一种永久的依靠的感觉。我俩坐在汉堡王里，贱笑不止，多次大放厥词，有时情绪太高竟然高声大叫，我把一包糖洒在托板上，均匀的把剩下的咖啡倒在上面，然后用纸巾慢慢摩擦到砂糖融化，我俩讥笑男人的大条。后来去HM买了条天蓝中透紫，紫中透天蓝的牛仔裤，无比喜欢，有点小喇叭，比现在流行的铅笔裤美多了，只有修饰性的样子才永不过时。
        晚上和维先生琦先生一起回家，听到了很久以来最雷的爱情故事，我不能用语言表达了，woa baby !

That this mega-cheap two-way ticket is mega-cheap for a good reason - it will land 6:30 in the morning ! 
So as a Puxi gal, i gotta get up at 4:30, take a shower, grab a quick bite, dress smashing, and drive to the airport in Pudong, which will take more than 1 hour and 20 minutes, to show up in time !

But it doesn't matter, I can always go to bed at 8 o clock the night before !  ( spot the sarcasm )

I'm looking forward to meeting my man and his kind and friendly mom, though !

The Lab ain't nowhere new so i could drive there on cruise
Couldn't get any breakfast cuz there ain't no more time to lose
When i got to the uni Lawson was closed that was the truth
So i had to stay in my Mondeo goin' over lessons like one starvin' wuss
When my partners showed up we headed for the lab nice and cool
But the buddy was too serious in the business to let loose
That's why I didn't go anywhere else for five hours and it was cruel
I stayed in the lab for so long that i started to grow roots

The experiment was successfully done in time
And after that the three of us were tired tight
For dinner we had dirty food from a dirty food booth at night
We sat on the lawn face to face eatin' the shit and bathin' starlight
That was one hell of a day doin' the lab time all right! 

 我对红唇姑娘特别有好感，如果她是个搓盘的我就更是喜欢了。Miss Kittin, 关键词：法国；姑娘；红唇；搓盘；芝加哥；年轻有成；电子。哇，她真是太棒了。听到她唱“I'm allergic to myself", 听到她的男搭档堂而皇之的说”show me your tits, and let's make a hit"的时候，听到她们的电声，让我对电子乐和迷乱的生活非常向往。似乎作为一个灵魂和爵士的歌迷我不能就这样放弃了传统，但是偶尔叛逆一把的感觉让人精神振奋啊。

Here it is : Janqi Community !


This is a community / Journal kept by me and my boyfriend, Dr. Babou. DO PATRONISE ! Or sneak a peep, of course :P 

 我想和我亲爱的杨儿一起记录我们一起的生活。先是用wordpress, 后来换到blogger，都是因为在中国打不开（或者有些时候打不开）而作罢，回到了livejournal。应该会很美好，两个人从同的视角，记录一起经历的事，一起度过的日子，一起浪费的时间，和各种各样小众大众的细节。



我不太提到你，我想来着，可是我有时候还是很怯懦。。。对不起，杨儿，我以后一定克服，在我的生活中给你应得的空间。以前那么多美好的时光都慢慢溜走了，我们没有留下些文字的记录，拍照很容易，可是坐下来整理思绪把明媚的一天转化为一个个的字却很难。我们以前没有心情没有精力去实现，现在开始也不晚。

When your folks gave you such a bizarre name as Jamesetta and golden voice by birth, *AT LAST* you just couldn't resist the temptation of becoming a soul diva, calling yourself Etta James.  

When I was totally fed up with high-frequency electric circuits, I decided to catch up with my recently developed addition to John Travolta with an all-time classic GREASE. 

*The story is ludicrious.* I would describe Grease exactly how Maude described the porno her step mother had made in the BIG LEBOWSKI. All i could see is a bunch of impulsive high school kids hangin' out and killing time doin' foolish stuffs. But those dancing scenes and the taste of genuine sweet pop love songs from the 50s were enough for me, a 50% old school gal. On the whole the movie is a sweet easy relaxation, and see my beautiful tempting John Travolta dance with too much hormone and just right amount of youth was worth all the silly little teen drama.
Travolta could really dance! 

 昨天回了趟本部，参加复旦外国留学生节中一个大学展示。伯明翰大学的上海代表真是够菜够现，菜中之菜，现中之现。

【那里的people都很nice。】
【我们birmingham当地还是有比较live的pub culture，女生晚上safe一点的话还是要结伴出行。】
【你们会收到一个package,里面有各种各样的application form。】
【如果你申请accommodation的话，学校这方面是guarantee的。】

天，我不明白，身处在什么样的环境下，需要多长时间才能把一个人的两门语言融在一起变成这样尴尬。

无论如何，我对伯明翰还是充满了期待，我希望课程可以比复旦轻松些，同学可以比复旦懒散些，空闲时间可以比复旦多一些。也许我去，背着越走越高的赞扬，其实是寻找一种更简单的解决方式，逃避复旦人、张江人、微电人应该承担的责任和应该呈现的水平。我提醒自己，不能懒，不能堕落，希望明年这个时候还能记得。

杨儿，你什么时候能找到属于自己的工作呢？我知道你现在真的努力，我知道你的能力也的确很高，但是不知道为什么，没有人欣赏，也没有更多的机会让你去发现。加油吧，我们在最困难的时候一起扛过去，到了阳光灿烂的时候才能体会到明媚。

我不知道上次体会离别的悲伤是什么时候了。很久以来我都对一个班级一个集体没有太深的感情，也许因为我清高，更可能是参加集体活动少，没有基础的情感培养和积累。这次提前离开07ME, 没有太多的悲伤，却有些惆怅。两年了，从来没有真正融入过这个家庭，从来没有真正喜欢过当这个家庭的一份子，倒是一直在质疑我来这儿的目的，一直在和它斗争。要走了，要离开两年保持的忧郁心情了，前方等待的不知是更大的悲凉还是风光得意，总之要离开一份忧郁的心情竟然不是那样容易的。我会一直想起人生中这独特的两年，想起一个个美好的同学。

07ME最舍不得的还是219。他们对于我就如同一群单身却优质的女友对于刚失恋的姑娘，是精神的救赎。爆炸头和他的男媳妇，两位美腿一黑一白，他们每个人都完全不同，可是气场却又如此合拍。我羡慕他们的关系，我羡慕他们的生活状态，我喜欢他们的为人，我喜欢他们的高雅。离开前的一个月我已经在为他们流泪，不知道心中这样关键位置的空白处被剜掉的肉需要多少时间才能慢慢再长上来。我甚至不敢回来的时候看到他们，生分了，没话说了，那真会伤心透了。
