extra long 23rd Aug

my 23rd of Aug 2006 is extra long.. the flight to USA took about 25 hours, not including the 2 hours delay in the Chicago Airport. We crossed the international date line, and the US easten time is 13 hours after the time in China and Singapore. so 23rd of Aug is like 37 hours..

first impression about US..

honestly saying.. not so good lah.. cos the airport at Chicago is noisy and crowded, making me feel damn insecure.. then the Detroit airport is worse.. It's a huge maze.. most of the doors will only open when u r like right in front of it.. before that you might not be able to tell tt it's a door there..

but when I arrived at Ann Arbor, I think things are getting better. It's quite far from the city, so it's a small and quiet town.. the scenery is nice, the weather is cooling.. havent had a chance to taste the food in Michigan.. the Cafe starts providing food tml..

hehe, I am really tired.. now my time is 12 hours after yours.. =( quite unlikely to see you all online..

People have asked me why my name is so damn bloody hard to pronounce, I would say it's not my problem. Just in case anyone who is interested to find out what the name actually means, here it is:

萱 pronounces as xuan, is the flower called daylily pictured above;

仲 pronounces as zhong, means I am the second child in the family

弦弦诉人意,弓弓道世情

可以高贵,可以平凡
可以不问英雄出处
可以痴情风流的二胡
一弦可以大江东去
一弦可以月游西湖
一曲未了竟有琴弦启开江南
让俏丽的姑娘
用浓浓的茉莉花语
从红袖里伸出酥手
把一个河山香透

My Erhu, My Forever Love
