The Tiger Game



Went to my first ever baseball game in Detroit last night... Well, it is pretty fun to walk around the stadium during the game-erm yea, I mean walking around when the game is going on...

Personally I would say baseball game seems pretty boring to me. I would definitely prefer a game that is not discrete in nature. Also I will definitely appreciate if the ball is larger- at least it's easier to know what is going on. I can hardly imagine watching table tennis games, how to follow where the ball goes...

But I still had quite of fun there-the snacks, chatting with other interns and etc. It is sort of funny that one of the intern fell asleep during the game, and we couldn't wake him up. =_= I also went mad when the two ladies sitting beside me who kept discussing using SAS for data manipulation during the game...

Oh yea, btw, I was pretty surprised that I was not so lost during the game, the rules seemed the same with softball. And the Tigers lost..

Man Utd Pre-Season

Yep yep, watched the first game this afternoon, although the second half was more like a slow motion due to the poor connection... But I managed to watch the two goals, and caught a glimpse of Gary! Oh yay, finally Gary is back and he captained the first half... LOL.. why I feel G11 looked so old and Rooney gained weight in his honeymoon.

Internship

The internship is getting to its end very soon. I will be doing a presentation in the symposium on 29th. So now I am spending most of my time refining the analysis, doing the slides, and etc etc... It's great that I sort of find out what I want to do for my life-at least for the coming 5-10 years.

I just injured my ankle

There is now a 2.5cm cut on my ankle, I don't know when/where/how I got it. Sobz...

That's damn painful...

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
