今天我终于看到了久仰大名的舞林大会。
舞台很炫，服装很漂亮，台词很煽情。
其实idea是copy了源自美国，已经红遍了n个国家的dancing with the stars.
我很高兴，这次能看到china version， the hardware is even better than other countries.
但是，让人有点失望的是，那些明星们都太result oriented了吧。我才看了一场复赛，就看到了n个人哭，说什么被淘汰了很丢脸，博同情之类的，好像每个人都是以champion 为ultimate goal的。那些professional dancers 好像根本没有人在意一样，好像他们完全就是陪衬。sigh...
我想起在american version 的dancing with the stars里面，每个明星离开的时候，都会很开心的说，it has been great experience etc..他们都会praise他们的 professional dance partners,那些professional dancers 也被予以一样的focus. afterall, it s a teamwork..
guess it s the cultural difference...

(add on: juz finished watching Chen Zhipeng dancing.. wow i like him...he s really enjoying it when he s dancing...)

didnt realize this thursday was THANKSGIVING day until it was over..
sigh..
i have kinda gd impression for thanksgiving although i have never really had one b4.. as in i love the idea it conveys.. "be thankful."
there r always frustrations from time to time in life and a gd attitude allows ppl to make it through...

sometimes i found myself being whiny over trivial matters. i know it s not gd but sometimes ur heart juz refuses to listen to ur mind..
so i am telling myself to think sth happy... hehe ...anw, later when i look back, i will most likely laugh at myself, wat s the point of thinking of tt? "whinies are weenies"(finally i found it from google)... so i need to learn to be thankful....and so does everyone else..

so here to share one nice song, it s from one "Pasodoble dance" i watched recently ... imaging the scene of "bullfight.." while listening makes it nicer...

外婆说：第一天上学的时候，书包里放了葱会变聪明。
（据说我当时死活不肯放，估计是受不了那个味道。

妈妈说：打不出喷嚏的时候，要抬头看着电灯。
（现在还有这个习惯。）

妈妈说：走过小巷的时候，不可以打雨伞，不然就长不高了。不小心走了，出来的时候就要原地跳三跳。
（小时候每次跳三跳都会先左右瞅瞅，怕被人看见。现在每次打雨伞的时候都会想起来，不过不好意思跳了）

妈妈说：眼睛里吹进沙子的时候，要立刻吐一口口水。
（一直没好意思吐，影响市容市貌）

妈妈说：换牙的时候，下面的牙齿掉了要扔到屋顶上去，上面的牙齿掉了要扔到床底下。
（够不着屋顶，又不能把床底下弄脏了，最后都进垃圾桶了。）

妈妈说：吃了鸡心记性好，吃了鸡爪子写字好。
（其实味道还不错）

爸爸说：小孩子千万不能吃鱼籽，吃了会变笨的。
（反正我也不喜欢吃，每次最后都被老爸吃了。去年老爸才告诉我，鱼籽小孩子不容易消化）

most of the time, i have faith in the decisions i ve made.
However, this time i have been questioning myself  for the past week whether i have made the right decision or not until today..

I had a chance to change my application of universities for SEP this week before the interviews, but i didnt.. i chose the much less well-known university over the famous ones. The interviewee asked me, could u explain ur choices of universities to us? I crapped as if i am so sure about the choice while i was hesitating within throughout...
Shld i go ahead and take up the challenge in ECP or i shld relax a bit in UPMC( relatively speaking only)?
Am i too coward?

I dunno...
I asked some friends, most of them couldnt understand,saying it s weird not applying for the better uni,given many ppl r dying for the chance going to UC Berkly instead of UCLA.

Does the name of the uni really matter tt much?
Will the better uni be more vibrant?
I am a normal human being, who concerns in the typical human being way...

After almost one week's frustration, today i am finally sure abt wat i really want from the SEP..
thanks to Oreal, a french girl i met in NUS, I have convinced myself.
SEP is the time for dicovery. Universities have ppl from different kinds of backgrounds while ECP is an engineering school filled with the high IQ geeks( no offence here..but it does reminds me of those GEP geeks..)

En..I ve made up my mind..
i shall go to UPMC..
i shall take one arts module there to challenge myself
i shall discover as much as possible..
i shall go backpacking in europe..( btw, anyone else interested? ) and i shall save money from now on...

En..the feeling of having faith in myself is damn good!!

最近我很拜金，往镜子里面一看，两眼能照出两个dollar sign...
目标：SEP in Paris
本来没打算报paris的大学，living cost吓死人，但是但是，阴差阳错地，我就被逼无奈地报了。
是这么回事，某天早上我突然得知science SEP的application deadline 已经过了，于是我就立刻冲去找science SEP coordinator, 在我昏天暗地的掰了一个钟头之后，他终于肯让我报了，但是得当场报。我这个心虚阿，还没做什么research呢，汗~~只想到yang yang 在paris VI SEP,  一咬牙，就把paris VI 放在first choice了，下面胡乱填了几个grandes ecoles(不是地球人去的地方）。
anw, who to blame? ---MYSELF---
后来，我总是自我安慰说，去paris总算是很好的exposure云云的。
眼下，存钱是首要任务，不能让老爸老妈花太多钱，他们赚钱也挺不容易，20多的人，还是尽量自己挣吧，琢磨琢磨，假期打工去。

老杨写得真好~~
