2009 Spring Festival

Spring Festival is one of the most important time in China, no matter how fast the society developed some traditions would change such as making dumplings in New Year's Eve after dinner and have it around midnight. Dumplings symbolize wealth because their shape is like a Chinese tael. Nowadays, making dumplings together is not only for good luck in next year but also means " tuanyuan" which means all family members together.

Cherish Everyday-My feeling towards winter hoilday

2009 is my last winter holiday in Mapleleaf, in Dalian, in China and this thought will always make me feel sad. There are too many things that I want to do, but time is always not enough. 5weeks, it sounds like a long time, but as an old saying goes, "Time wait for no man". Holiday will finish in a fast speed and we are so weak when we face it. We can't change yestoday, what we can do is to cherish today. Holiday will coming soon and will past soon, so now I feel so clamly toward it. I want to cherish all days in my hometown, I want to cherish all minutes when I stay with my friends and families. However, I also need to cherish everyday in Mapleleaf before holiday.
Before winter holiday, I thought of the return day at the beginning of this term, it was so fast, half year is done now. Five weeks will past soon even though it is not start yet.Cherish everyday, that is only thing I can do now.

Macquarie University



"Sydney is Australia's most famous city for good reasons - from the sparkling harbour and city beaches to the cosmopolitan city centre, Sydney has something for everyone."

Drive 30 minutes from the center of Sydney, Macquarie University is located there. It is the university which I want to start my dream with. Macquarie University is famous of its Business Program, especially accounting. Therefore, I want to study accounting there after gratuated from MapleLeaf. On the other hand, I think Accounting is a promising area, it can help me to find a decent job in the future.

Someone's watching over me

"I found myself and ran away,something pulled me back, voice of reason I forgot I had.All I know is you're not here to say what you always used to say, but it's written in the sky tonight so I won't give up, no I won't break down, sooner than it seems life turns around and I will be strong, even if it all goes wrong when I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe someone's watching over me." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0NQnIYxlAI
It is my favourate song named "someone's watching over me", it is a song which inspires me , it is also a song which teaches me something. No matter how hard the life is ,never lost hope, never break down, hold the positive attitude toward life then we can grow up. Life is full of difficulties, but when we face all the changellges clamly, we will find that there's nothing impossible.

Tough Term One Life


life was so tough in Grade12 ,especially in Term One for me. I didn't know if I had tried my best or not , I thought that I was. However , the results said "NO". Well ,I did dad in math this term, so did geograghy. WHY? Since I had four exams on one day, I didn't get enough time to review them. En, it was a good excuse, but it couldn't convince myself. Actually,it was me didn't try my best to do all the subjects in classes. I thought that life should be easier in Grade12,but it was so difficult that out of my mind. I was not get ready, I didn't get the positive attitude to my schoollife. I didn't...... Yes, that's all my fault!!

Conversly, now it is not the time to complain, it is the time to restart. Term 2 ,I am ready and I'm coming!
