Public holiday
When public holiday is no longer holiday, are people still the people you knew?
It's very easy to get me upset recently, yes, very easy! About friends, about family, about study, about the gossip around...
Things change, people change, but what changes even faster is the mind! When mind changes, eveything will change!
I hope the things I love will remain the same, but I'm a little scard that, I'm beginning to lose something very important...

Thanksgiving
It is Thanksgiving Day today, and I only realised it this moment!
I want to thank my parents for what they have done for me!
I wanna thank my friends for keeping me company throughout the time abroad!
I wanna thank my best friends, for always forgiving me whatever mistake I have made, and being there for me, always!
Every thanksgiving is a point of time, when you can truly reflect about yourself. Have you been nice to the people around you? Is there anything that you need to change in order to be the person you always want to be?
For me, I want to be more frank with myself, and exclude all the hypocrisy around me!
Work hard for it!
我想认认真真的生活，学习，去除身边一切的虚伪与不现实，用自己的努力，争取一个属于自己的未来！

2012
如果世界末日真的要来了，有谁会真正对自己至此的生命无悔？
对自己爱的人，说过爱了吗？
对自己的学习，认真的付出过了吗？
对自己的生活，真正的享受过了吗？
对自己身边的人，留下一丝能让他们在来生能够记住你的地方了吗？
2012，我们该怎么度过？
我突然间感到，生命如此脆弱，纵然有那股追求生命的动力与魄力，又有几人能够幸免于难？而我们，有几个会是所谓的英雄？
享受此刻，认真生活，这样，无论什么时候，我们都可以安静的走，without any fear.

Income tax
Justed finished my Income Tax final exam, and I don't feel good now.
I'm kind of convinced that, I don't have any gift for Accounting profession. Yes, I tried, I tried my best, but I still couldn't do it. It's just killing me!

IELTS Results
As shown in the attached picture!
I just wonder, how could I get a score of 8 in reading while I didn't even understand the last article?! How could I get a score of 6.5 in writing while I got 700 for SAT Writing, and I felt that I wrote pretty well? Listening score is better than what expected, while Speaking is wrose, but both of them are acceptable.
OK! I'm done! Now, i can apply for my visa and prepare to go for my EXCHANGEEEEE!
HAHA!
Champion
I went to LW's club, and I was shocked.
1. I didn't dress properly due to my laziness to dress formally in a study week. When I saw all the black-and-white, I felt uncomfortable immediately.
2. So many experienced speakers! The President & VPE have done such a wonderful job to invite so many guests to their meeting.
3. President - star of the night: I believe that LW is not an attention seeker, but he just does everything so well that he is the star of the night! I remember that he said, "You can continue to be the VPE for next year, and until you graduate", even though we laughed over it, but I would say, I'm willing to take on another term of office if I work with you. Yes, I really do!
I believe that every President's opening address should be educational, or at least bring a message to the members. Otherwise, why should we listen to you, just because you are the president? The title of president serves nothing more than an organizer, and respect from the members does not come with it. It needs efforts! And in Zhenghua CC Toastmasters, I can see the invisible efforts!
4. The energy of young people: In this meeting, only few of us are under the age of 25, and we are the ones who would laugh out loudly, or at least who would laugh over a joke. The so called "audlts" don't do so as we do. I remember last time, we were talking about the "adult" clubs, that they are not as fun as a student club. Nathaniel was talking seriously to us, "The 'audlts' doesn't mean that they are not fun. Fun has nothing to do with age." HAHA. OK, but I can feel the difference.
5. One funny moment: we were talking so "highly" over Jasmine's relationship on the train on our way back home, and didn't notice that a lady was listening to us. Suddenly, I noticed that she was laughing with us, "HI", I said.
6. Self-reflection: I was very down after I went home, because I felt that there were so many things lacking in me. I don't speak good English; my vocabulary is not large enough; My english has little vocal variety; I don't have wide knowledge of what's happening in the world... How long will it take me to make up for that?
I don't even have the courage to think about it, because it will take me donkey's ears. But what drives me not to give up? I think it's the belief in myself!
LW said, "You are always the champion in someone's eyes! You are the champion in your friends' eyes if you are the one whom they would turn to! You are the champion in your own eyes if you are doing the best all the time!"
This morning, I was thinking that, if i go back to China with my current english level, it's considered as good or even excellent. But how about if i go to US? I guess even a 10-year child would have larger vocabulary than I do. So what's my choice?
And I choose to continue my journey, even the journey ahead is filled with obstacles, difficulties, I wouldn't give up easily! Because I'm doing my best all the time, even though the results may not be good in other people's eyes, I'm satisfied. And I don't regret!
"If nobody see you as a champion, I will!" Yes, I will! My friends, I see myself as a champion, and I also see you as champions, because each of you have your individual strength & merits that would make me believe "You are the champion".
All of us are the champions!

SMU Toastmasters Club is the best
I have visited a few Toastmasters clubs recently, and always, I have this feeling, SMU Toastmasters Club is the best!
Some clubs are not professional enough, in the way that, you don't feel comfortable;
Some clubs are stressful, because even the Humorous Speech couldn't make them laugh;
Some clubs are fun, but in the end of the day, you wonder, what are the things you can take home;
SMU Toastmasters club possesses everthing, that during every visit, I just want to invite people to my club, to see what a real Toastmasters meeting is! (I'm sorry to say that, but this is what I feel for now.)
And today, I learnt another abbreviation:
VPE = Vice President of Everything
This is what I heard from one Toastmasters Club president! Thanks for saying that!
