I am back!!

Hehe.. I had a really wonderful Fall break.. I was staying in Alice's house in East Lansing. Actually her house is in Lansing, the capitol of Michigan. Moon and enny went, too.

The first night, we reached her house at about 10, then we went shopping after that. (but we ended up talking in the supermarket..) then is some night tour guided by Alice.. at about 2 something, we went to Steak and Shake.. to eat.. well... yea.. I gain a few pounds in the short break.. coming back at 3++, we started watching TV.. then I slept at about 4...

The next day, we went shopping and tour around MSU.. Michigan State Univesity.. The main football rival of U of M.. haha luckily it was not a Sat.. Beverly stayed in Chris's house which is really near the MSU stadium.. and Sat it was the game MSU vs Ohio state.. (Michigan hates Ohio and Ohio hates Michigan in general).. According to Beverly, when they walked along the road, the MSU and Ohio state ppl were almost fighting... and she said.. "luckily I din wear my U of M jacket.. otherwise they will stop fighting and beat me.."

In the afternoon, we went to Lansing.. the city hall.. yea.. but when gals came together, we tend to do stupid things.. like jumping down from the stairs in front of the city hall and try to take stupid pictures.. Then Alice sugested to go to this Ghost town near Lansing, cos it was a really deserted place.. We were lost on the high way.. Alice liked to speed.. so we always missed the exits.. when we finally found Jolt, the Ghost Town, it was really late.. and it was really quiet.. like at the down town there, we were the only car on the road.. That was quite scary..

gaga.. then at night, Alice's parents cooked some really nice food.. Basically I ate a lot.. really a lot.. After dinner.. TV watching.

we reached Ann Arbor at about 3 this afternoon, and it is getting cold.. haha but the central heating system here is damn powerful.. like 0-1 degrees outside, then 20++ inside.. so I am wearing summer clothes in my room and winter colthes outside..

btw.. During the stay over at Alice's house, I learnt one thing, f*ck is used as both a noun, verb and an adj in US.. one good example will be: what the fuck(adj) the fuck(n) is fucking(v)?

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
