my worst group project

Time to write a post to complaint about life!
Presentation tomorrow and I am seriously not sure how it will go. I have done my parts. Why I am so frustrated with my group mates is because I did 80% of the work while it suppose to be a team work thing. I didn't go to the first day of class, so I thought they already met each other. I sent them an email and non of them replied me or replied me the day before the scheduled meeting. Never mind, I tried my best to find every single one in class and try to find out a common time for meeting. In the end, only 3 including me showed up in the first meeting. I separated the duty and give each of them a task to do the work. 3 person including me actually did something. We had a meeting two days before presentation, one person said he didn't bring his work, but I already sent out an email to tell all of them to either email me their work or bring it to the meeting. What is his email do? The most frustrated thing came from a girl who could not make for the meeting. She promised me to send her work to me that afternoon. Yes, she did. I opened up and totally speechless. 4 powerpoint slides, covered with all words and copied from internet completely, didn't answer her part of the question. Everyone's duty is to do a powerpoint slides on their part, a 3/4 page writing and a book of reference. She just did one and was totally wrong. How can I not speechless?
I sent out an email again to let them know that we are going to edit the paper one by one and give them a deadline about when to pass on to the next person. Sunday noon, I have not receive anything from them! Sent few emails to chase the first person in line, no replies. Ok then, I edited the paper! There's an evaluation form tomorrow after the presentation. How much marks should I give each of them? Is there a negative choice?

I should calm down now, hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow.
Next week is a crazy week for me, 2 midterm, 1 presentation, 2 homeworks due, and many many cover letters and resumes to write

Green Hornet movie review (non-critical)

Here's the movie review for Green Hornet. Firstly, I have to say I am not going to be critical about this movie. Why being critical when I am a super fan of Jay Chou?
I am very glad this movie come out to be so humorous and every scene is well connected. Such a success for Jay's first movie in Hollywood. There are plenty of reasons that I like Jay for 10 years. This movie enhanced my or rather all fans faithfulness towards him. Here are the reasons.

1. He speaks English!!! What a big deal you may ask. From the point of his loyal fan, we all know that he knows nothing about English. Still remember the time in his second album, there's one English word appeared in one of his song called "龙卷风". It is the word "baby". People might laugh, but I was so surprised during that time. Learning another language in his 30s isn't that easy, but we all know he is hard working and there's nothing he can't do.

2. He shoot a movie scene in the POOL!!! people might not know he really can't swim! If there's anything he is afraid of, then that will be water! The moment when kato and britt dropped into the pool, the first thought came to my mind is "oh no, jay afraid of water". But he did it. The scene looks so nature, and no one will know how he would struggle in the water.

3. Being condescend even though he is such a big star in Asia or in the world today. The host asked him about Bruce Lee in Green Hornet premiere. This is his answer "He is legend, god, I am just a normal person, a music man." Of course, he is not always condescend. He is proud of his music, his own movie, his magic tricks. He has confidence in all those, that is who we loved.

After watching Green Hornet, I know I did not pick the wrong idol to adore 10 years ago. I actually knew from the very beginning. 10 years has passed, and there's going to many many 10 years to go. I will always be there supporting him.

To Jay: Thank you so much for writing so many wonderful songs. Thank you so much to be so hard working. Thank you so much for leaving behind so much memories in my teenage life. Thank you for everything you do. We will be here for the next 10 year, 100 year or more.

what do I really want in life?

I don't know why I want to blog now. There's tons of homework there waiting for me.
Just thinking about my future, not the very far future, but the near future.
Am I going to do graduate school? Will I be able to find an internship, a job after I graduate in 1 and half year time? All these kinds of questions are keep appear in my head nowadays. I know I shouldn't think that much now. All I need to do is to focus on my current classes. Do well on these classes are the first step before I can continue on anything.

Just a few months ago, I was totally not worrying about all these, I thought all these will just come naturally. All I was worrying at that time was relationship. Looking at classmate got married in her 19s, I start to worry about my relationship, my marriage. I was just being too immature. I believe successful people do plan things ahead. Bill Gates did not drop out from Harvard just because he wants to start his business. He probably already have everything in mind like how he going to carry out his creation.

But there's also another thought behind the first one. Why do I need to be so successful? I am all in all women. I have to get married, I need to take care of my children, I might just be a housewife after I get married. My dad keeps telling me that women must put 80% of her energy on family and 20% on career. I thought this two can be balanced. However, there also no statistics or real life example that can show any women actually balanced both. After that, I start to think what do I really want in life? The answer is not certain yet. Maybe my whole life is about finding the answer to this question.

The photo is taken in Harvard with John Harvard, the founder of Harvard University. Those people who are taking photos with him are most probably like me, thinking"let's take a photo with john harvard, since Harvard is beyond my reach" (ps. look at his left shoe, look how bright it is)

New Year New Start

With all the advance technology, we stopped writing letter. With twitter, facebook, 微博，we stopped writing long post blog. This is not a healthy habit, so I decided to bring back my blog in 2011.
This is not a blog for me to gossip about anyone or anything, but a blog to share with my dearest friends about my life on the other side of the earth. 2011 is going to be an exciting year with many opportunities, internship, friendship, relationship and many more.
I'll suffer hardship and I'll meet joyful moment. They will all be here to share with you.
Looking forward for the new start.
