仅此献上我今天刚刚做的creme brulee and apricot tart给我最挚爱的朋友们... ... 3월 11일 21st bday:)i have been getting kinda lazy lately hehe..haven't updated my space for a while. anyways, just wanna keep a note of my memorable bday celebration, my last bday in college...a few highlights~~~
first, i wanna thank all my friends who have sent me an ecard, messaged me or left me a note on facebook~~~thank you for remembering my bday~~it does mean a lot to me~~~thank you all!!!:S
On wed, i went to sai cafe for japanese food with Tie. the food there is gooood~~the sashimi is prolly one of the best u could find in chicago~~also, all the waiters and the sushi chefs were singing the happy birthday song to me when they gave us the dessert, it was quite an experience~~haha~~~but unfortunately no picture from that restaurant:S...
Tie gave me a surprise~~~guess what? he bought a whole bag of fireworks. too bad that it is illegal to play fireworks here...so we lit one at a somewhat hidden place. the firework was very very very pretty, like a fountain, but did create a lot of smoke. so we ran into the car as soon as we lit it. we wanted to play more fireworks with all my other friends later but unfortunately, it started raining...so hopefully the weather for the coming days is good and we can finish the fireworks some time.
another biiiiig surprise was from jen and mel. I could not believe that they showed up at the whirly ball place and brought several other friends as well~~~~what is whirly ball? hm...it is like polo with bumper cars haha~~sounds fun right? it was soooo difficult and violent though...at least for us:P~~~ somehow our crowd was divided into 2 teams, guys vs. girls......man...we lost soo badly...nothing to 30...we were soo violent, hitting each other with the racket...and violated all the rules, throwing the ball with our hands...overall, it was a MESS. although we all got bruises all over the leg, it was really fun~~~haven't had this much fun for a while la~~~so thank jen, mel and tie for organizing it and thank all my other friends for playing~~~:) sooo much fun that we should definitely play it again!!!
on thursday night, I ate out with jen and mel at a French restaurant~~~the appertizers were good, so is the banana foster crepe~~~~I put some makeup on that night... and because of that, we were late for our reservation:P...i am sooo bad at putting on makeup...it was way tooooo much and very poorly done...but still toook me a loooong time:P...anyways, hopefully the picture does not scare you guys~~~
i have uploaded all my pictures for this bday celebration~~~thank you again to all my friends for such a memorable time~~~ 2월 17일 感动~~~刚刚收到楼下security的电话,说有个包裹叫我们去拿。平时的我都是拖上好几天,好不容易才记得去pick up, 不过今天大概是因为我一直在等东西,又或者是有些预感,一听完电话就跑下去了~~~果然是冰和菁两个星期前从广州寄出来的。
迫不及待地打开了外层的纸盒和里面的泡沫盒,里面放的是一支“豆立消“和一条围巾。但对着这两样千里迢迢飘洋过海的简单而平实的礼物,我心里暖暖的,眼里湿湿的。只是对冰抱怨过一次最近长了不少豆豆,大概已经是一个月之前的事了,她打趣地说要给我寄"豆立消“, 我一开始还以为她是开玩笑呢,但现在拿着这“豆立消“真是不舍得用了。还有那条围巾,好漂亮的颜色,舒服的质地,是手织的吗?刚刚才看到chicago 今天有wind chill alert,今天晚上会有大风降温到零下二十几度,看来那条围巾可以派上用场了~~~
看着这两份小礼物,心里真得好暖,好暖... ...谢谢冰,谢谢菁,谢谢你们这么老远寄给我的新年礼物,更要谢谢你们这份心意~~~这一刻的心情很难用言语表达,所以要马上写下这一篇entry, 以后可以常拿来读读,回味这一刻的感动~~~ 2월 13일 父母心今天打电话给爸妈的时候,听他们说起有个旧同事的儿子也在外国读书。虽然相隔千里,儿子今天要面试暑期工,爸妈在家急得都睡不着觉,还在数着,念着,“已经进去35分钟了。。。" 这个数字就这样在我脑海中挥之不去,我仿佛能看到我爸妈在我去年面试的时候焦急不安的心情,在深夜里数着一分钟,两分钟,一个小时,两个小时...等的就是大洋彼岸的一个电话,不管是欢笑还是泪水,只要听见电话那头的声音,他们悬着的心总就算是可以放下了。。。所以尽管知道我爸妈不会来看我的blog,我也还是想在这里说声 “爸妈,对不起,我出国读书肯定没让你们少惦记,担心。。。女儿一定会尽力的,不让你们操更多的心。。。” 2월 11일 re-openingi guess it is time to re-open my blog~~~for now i have to go write my paper that is due on monday. but i will be back with new entries and pictures~~so please come check it out later!^^ bye for now! 11월 3일 officially settled...Today, I have signed and mailed the offer letter from Morgan Stanley New York Fixed Income Division. So i have officially sold myself to the firm for the first 2 years after my graduation. I am really excited about working in Fixed Income in new york after i graduate, especially with Morgan Stanley. What more can i ask for? MORGAN STANLEY is my dream firm~~~~although Goldman Sachs is better, I remember before I even know what is investment banking or sales and trading, I have heard of Wall Street and Morgan Stanley...and I have always wanted to work there...now the dream came true...i remember laughing at myself when i received DB HK's offer for summer internship and i told my friends that I was waiting for Morgan Stanley New York...hm...finding ONE summer internship was difficult enough, how dare I asked for Morgan Stanley New York??? I cannot believe that i made it...using my "quantitative" background and my "NERDY" nature, hehe~~~ I was accepted by Morgan Stanley...definitely very happy abt that~~~i am also just glad that i have made up my mind to join MS Fixed Income coz i was struggling with which one to choose, Investment Banking or Sales and Trading. Now that since i have made a decision, i just need to do like what Betty said, "make the most out of it"...i will definitely try my best and I hope everything will work out well.
yea, it is wall street, it is new york, and i am very excited, but at this moment...i am feeling a little sad...why? because many of my friends from college will be going back to Asia...i will miss all my friends here...and especially my 2 beloved roommates jen and mel....if not with them, uchicago days will not be the same...i am sure i will realli miss our cooking,our getting drunk, our crazy yelling when playing video games/getting complaints, our "fights" with stuffed animals, etc...I will also miss getting waked up by Boood boood in the morning, waiting to shower for more than 1 hour, hahaa...man...i can go on and on with the list...and btw, who is gonna take out the trash in new york hahaha~~~when i think of jen and mel, i think of the days we spent together, the pix we have taken, etc...i think of them as my family in chicago... family...hm...it definitely means a lot to me...man...i should stop this...otherwise I will seriously regret not going back to hk for work..........................
well...and also, i just wanna congratulate my friends with job offers again, Janice, Melody, Justin, Yi, Tracy, etc., and I wish all my other friends BEST OF LUCK and i hope that u all got jobs and be happy once and for all~~~~~~~~ 10월 30일 best dayyesterday was my happiest day ever since i came back from the summer...
jennie, justin, shirley, ron and I went to the haunted house at Navy Pier~~~altho it was targeted for teens, we were screaming our heads off, or at least I was:P and shirley did not even dare to look the whole time~~~i was grabbing shir's arm and squeezing jennie's hand hahaha~~~it was soo much fun~~~~~my best halloween in the college~~~and it definitely reminded me of the Marquand halloween scream that we had in my senior year of high school.
jennie, justin and I also went shopping in the afternoon...my first time shopping in chicago after we came back...i bought a dress because jennie wants me to go to formal..i am not sure if i will end up going to the fall formal, but since i dun have any dress, buying one won't hurt:P~~~not that i dun wanna go have fun with my friends in my last year of college, just that it will recall some memories that i am trying to forget...
and and and after we finished shopping, we went to a bakery up north to buy cakes...we were realli realli crazy as we first ate a chocolate croissant each, and then bought a piece of all the cakes there except for 2 kinds, which is 12 in total and in the end, I bought another chocolate macaron...quite goood~~~the total was like 65+~~~~but i realli love their stuff and will go back more often~~~ at night, of cuz we starting eating the cakes, altho have not finished yet, looking forward to eating more later today~~~

10월 1일 First weekendOh my god~~~my first week of senior year is ending...it has been a looooonng week...well maybe because I was too free and always procrastinating
Nothing exciting happened though...I have been going to almost all my classes, did most of my first hw for math(amazing
Tie was here for the weekend, oh more like for one day...but he cooked me steak, montreal style, altho i dunno what that means:P but it was yummy and mel will agree with me on this rite?^^ Man~~his cooking is getting better than mine~~~We also played poker with Lei and Raf, which reminded me so much last year's summer, when we played cards or Mario carts until sunrise...haha~~dunno if that will happen again in my last year here...
Anyways, now i am gonna book the hotel and ticket for my thanksgiving trip to San Francisco with Michelle~~~and tomolo, i am gonna 4seasons for brunch with my roomies and Justin...more to come later and bye for now^^ 9월 26일 senior yearOh my god...i have not updated my blog for soooo long~~~~FYI, i am still alive and summer was great!! (maybe more to come on that)
I just came back to Chicago on Friday...but i already got so caught up, shopping for classes, doing CUSA stuff, and worrying about other things...My plan now is to graduate in 2 quarters so that I can get some vacation time before I start the crazy investment banking job...I still cannot believe that I am a senior now...man...
anyways...I just went to Ruby's place for some korean food. It is an nice apartment and I was making fun of the desks' size and Ruby:P~~*Boobs*, will u miss that after we graduate?~~hehe:P Thx Ruby and thank justin for cooking:) No worries because we will hang out a lot more in the show rehearsals^^ 6월 5일 nostalgia...想回到过去刚刚和eric聊天,讲起以前执信的事,他告诉我来美国之后有一次放假回执信和他们一起打排球,我走了几天以后他们跟3班在争一个排球场,本来应该是他们的, 然后以前7班"那个不知谁"说了句,"LU上次回来我们让了你", 然后好像大家一句话都没说,马上就不争了... 是那种久违了的纯纯的感动和暖意,突然间好想即刻飞回执信,回到那棵“越来越不像样树“,想要时光倒流,回到午休时坐在篮球场边和冰吃着饼干当午餐,考试后哭着吃脆脆的明治甜筒,郊游时不顾一切的望山上爬,在排球场上打球到天黑的球都看不到了~~~想念执信的日子,执信的人,执信的一花一草,好多回忆,好多过去~~~感谢以前所有关心我,爱护我,帮助我的人,对我伤害过的人,我要说声抱歉,年少不能作为借口,我应该对自己说过的话做的事负责...以前一切的一切似乎已经远去了,但那些记忆,像eric说的,我会永远留在心里,好好珍藏... 6월 4일 3 more days to go~~~Oh my god...my second year of college is ending in 3 days!!! Since I am graduating in 3 years, today of next year, i will be done with all my classes and enjoying the fun senior week. College life definitely goes by sooo fast. Before I am leaving Chicago to go back to Guangzhou, I have soo many things to do. I need to finish a paper by Monday, organize notes for my take-home exam, get gifts for my friends and my parents' friends, and most importantly, clean up my room~~~ soo much to do, and if i get time, i should prolly meet up with Seung, a friend from High School in MA, coz he is going to military for the next 2 years, so I dunno when is the next time i will see him... Good luck to all my friends with exams coming la~~~i will be landing in HK in 4 days:)
5월 29일 Fun weekendThis weekend has been realli fun~~~~~ Friday nite we held a 天下无敌奖门人Super party, soo much fun with my roommates and some Hong Kong graduating seniors. We played many many different games,删大闸(acting out the words), 兜圈圈(turning 8 rounds and walking across the room), 辣辣寿司(the losing ones have to eat rice balls with wasabi in it), catching the cushion, and catching marshmallows, etc. In the 辣辣寿司,mel was soo ging that she made our team lose 4 times in a row. So our team ate ALL THE RICE BALLS made by me and Amy. I had 2 with wasabi, 2 without. I kinda just swallowed them in so it was not that bad. But David kept coughing after he had the first one, and he stayed in japan for a whole year before, hm.... On Saturday, Chinese Undergrad Student Association (CUSA) held our spring bbq at the point by lake Michigan. Many people showed up, and we all had soo much fun. People told me that all the food we prepared for the bbq were yummy, hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken wings, especially the chicken drumsticks. We also had S'mores for dessert. So thank all the board people who helped to make the bbq a great success, and special thanks to Amy who even missed her bday party for the grocery shopping. Also, thank all the ones who showed up to help us finish all the food. I was soo happy to see many friend who I have not talked to for a while. NIce to see ya guys all before we head home or wherever for the summer. BBQ's these days always always always end in some kinda crazy fights. Last weekend, I was covered in jelly after the SAMSU BBQ. This time, dunno when the Wushu club started this water balloon fight, and Zak threw a few at me, which made my sweater all wet, especially the hood. Getting wet was fine at first, and then my face got covered by relish, soon by cake. I dun remember how the cake fight started, but i know that Justin, who was covered in cake, gave me a "hug" and then my hair and clothes became all messy with the cream and everything...man....afterwards, we got a lot more ppl involved in the fight, and in the end, almost all the people got a piece of the cake, not by eating it, but by having it on their face or clothes, hahaa~~~~Me in cake, and my VP's, shirley was sitting on top of Helena and creaming her, man...where is our club's image??!! We prolly need to rebuild it some time soon~~~hahaaa. Again, thx soo much for the ones who came yesterday, it was a GREAT time:) After suffering 4 nights straight without NBA Playoffs, I eventually got to watch the Spurs vs. Suns Game 3 last nite. Spurs, not surprisingly, won AGAIN, so they are leading 3-0 in this series~~~~ YEA~~~~I am soooo happy for SPURS, and they will prolly get the trophy~~~Spurs, go go go!!! Horry, go go go! So do Duncan, Ginobili, Parker!!!! After all the fun i had, i need to get back to work. life = work + fun, and hopefully these two are not exclusive:). I am trying to finish a final project tonight and tomolo I will start studying for my stat final on Wednesday. A lot of clubs stuff to finish before I leave too. Again, 9 days to go now~~~~let's go~~~ 5월 24일 Reading Others' Journal最近疯狂的读所有朋友的网上日志,一秒一秒地刷新着,看到大家都好好的过着,心里总觉得很踏实。自己也总是想写些什么,但都没有时间好好坐下来,把自己的想法、感受组织一下写成日志。最近真的挺忙的,忙着看nba, 忙着弄中国学生会的事,忙着和朋友吃饭聊天,除了忙功课就对了。两个礼拜的今天我将会在从芝加哥飞往香港的飞机上,快回家了,不过走之前还有考试,论文等等好多事,再坚持两个礼拜,can't wait to see my friends back home~~~~:)。 5월 23일 TryingI have been trying to post something but i kept losing the draft that I typed up and had a lot of trouble organizing my thought again, so hopefully, i can write something by Tuesday. 5월 16일 Sunday nite after the nba'sI watched 3 nba games today, man...someone said to me,"how much time have I spent watching the games these days? like a billion hrs". haha, that is prolly true...Dunno why, watching them has become my new passion, or more strictly speaking, has come back to me after my years in Zhi Xin. I still remember the days when we watched nba in class~~~haha~~Xiao Qing had this huge responsibility of distracting Fei Mao(nickname for our physics teacher in grade 8-9) while we turned on the tv in class and watched the nba finals. Fei Mao was wondering why we were not looking at him, but instead at the corner where the tv was...haha...those crazy old days...i definitely miss them.......... The teams that i favor kept losing today, first spurs and then phoenix. speaking of Spurs, i just found out that most of my friends do not like it because they dun like Tim Duncan, but my reason of supporting spurs is that i like Horry. hehe. why Horry rite? dunno why but definitely not coz he looks like Will Smith. I started liking him the first time i saw him playing, just because of the feeling that he gave me:)... So much for nba's, i now need to get some sleep and get ready for a quiz tomolo Peace to all my friends. |
