a phone call caught me off guard


i am not sure who i will become
i am not sure what i necessarily want to do in the future
i am not sure about a lot of things
one thing i am sure is that i love what i am doing now
that i enjoy every moment of my life now
for me what is happening now matters more
so i should not be worried or paranoid about anything
what is meant to happen is meant to happen
i do not have any control of it
but i can do my best
to survive on my own



I love love love E.E. Cummings' i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
                                    i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

Today I found out -

There was a mating set up last week
the expected delivery date is during the cny weekend
(mice normally give birth during night time
they are nocturnal)
and I have to be there
to get some samples

AHHHHHH....

I want to go home :(

and I sacrificed three mice today
last week I sac'd two.

For greater human good
For the sake of all human race
I tell myself repeatedly

My very first travel log -

First time on business class

I was excited as a poor graduate student normally does not
have the luxury to get on business class - hehehe..thanks hunnie!

My impressions for Shanghai
1. Skyscrapers EVERYWHERE - and they are still building more
someone told me there are more than 5000 high rise buildings in Shanghai






2. Air pollution is extremely serious
absolutely no blue sky
proved by the photo I took from the Oriental Pearl tower
 

3. The place where modern and ancient time cross over
you do not have to travel far to experience ancient China

Tong Li




Yu Yuan


 

4. The place where you find the weirdest food on earth
"Pee beef ball soup" wtf is that???



CNY is around the corner
this will be the fifth time I do not celebrate it with my family
I miss home
