Practise my long forgotten English writing

I have been here (in Shanghai) for more than 2 months.
Everything has been going very well so far. But there is one thing which I am very concerned about: English.
During my time in Shanghai, my chance of speaking English has become lesser and lesser. I originally thought of using English in my daily conversation with my Singaporean friends but this only last for one month. Due to the surrounding environment, we somehow changed our conversation from English to Chinese slowly. Now all of us are using Chinese to talk to each other everyday. The chance of me to speak in English has really become very rare.
Besides that, i am also concerned about my English writing as all my modules are in Chinese. Even though I am still using English for my conversation with friends in MSN, I know that my writing standard would definitely go down if I dont write an essay/ article regularly.
So, I hope that I will publish an article on my Blog at least once a week. This can also revive my Blog which has died for so long! Hopefully my effort can persist! ^^

马六甲一日游

昨天去了马六甲一趟，这一次我去了很多地方，

从儿时去过的古城到近年才有的 eye on Malaysia，马六甲真的是有它的吸引力。

但是最主要的还是因为有美人相伴，不然也不会那么开心，哈哈

谢谢你陪我渡过这难忘的一天~

Climate Crisis Symposium

I was the event coordinator for last Saturday Climate Crisis Symposium organised by NUSSU SAVE, Students Against Violation of the Earth. Before that, i did not antipate myself to gain any useful or new insights. Being an environmentally conscious person, i knew that climate crisis was real. I understood how individual effort can eventually help us in this man-made crisis. However, i had somehow getting very bored with this kind of seminar/talk because I personally felt that their purposes were to educate or convince those who were not environmentally conscious. Of course, it was proven that I was wrong.

Let's come back to talk about the sympsium. The attendance on that day were quite disappointing, LT27 which can accommodate about 350 people was only half-filled. I sympathized and understood the disappointment of the organisers, Ting Ting and Wei Tao. They had spent more than 2 months with huge effort preparing for this symposium. For me, i was not even care about the attendance until i finished listened to the insightful "An Inconvenient Truth" talk by Mr Tony Boatman.

Tony has been personally trained by Mr Gore (http://www.algore.com/, in case you wonder who Gore is) and is the only person in South East Asia fully accredited to deliver the presentation and its scientific content. His presentation style was similar to Al Gore's presentation in his An Inconvenient Truth movie and it was really great.

During the presentation, Tony had reminded me a potential catastrophe resulted from global temperature rise which I had long forgotten. The catastrophe would be the melting of Himalayan Glacier, which fed seven of the world’s largest rivers and provided water to 40 percent of the global population, including China and India. It had appeared that people would enjoy the huge outflow of water for the first few years. But could you imagine the situation after the Glacier had completely melted? What would happen to the 2 most populated countries? When this actually happened, it's impossible for us to sit on the sidelines.

为什么你会觉得我昨天怪怪的？

昨天，突然发现有好多事情要做，也发现蛮多功课无法照计划进行，或无法准时交上。

不止如此，还要被人放飞机，没有帮我做他应该做的事请。

事情已经够多够忙了，还要再加重我的负担。不爽，可是至少心情没被影响。

为什么心情不好？还不是你咯

要你回到马六甲了就给我信息，可是没发给我，真的让我很担心，直到看到你妹妹online为止。

可是心里很不爽，觉得你不在乎，所以就发脾气不找你。

还好在我睡前你打给我，但我跟你说我不开心的理由的都不是真的，因为那些事决不会让我因此不找你，而你应该也知道我不是对你说真话，因为我决不会因为这些小事而不找你，哈哈，谢谢你对我的了解! 我很开心。

通话后，反省了一下，不知道你会不会觉得，但我真的发现我很小气，很惭愧，真的不该这样。

小气的男人不成大器，不可再这样。

憾

总在写英文作文时停滞不前

无法把心里想的中文变成英文文字

也无法简短的表达我的想法，我的内容

每次写英文作文都好伤心

如果。。。

我有很好的英文能力，那该有多么好

我要努力，加油

What's wrong

Have a very strong feeling that something is not right.

I am damn regret of what i have done.

I really do not mean that

纽西兰的生活

再过两三天，我在纽西兰的日子就快要一个月了。在这段日子里，我体会，经历了很多。从省钱饿肚子到买车，再到以劳力换取金钱，这短短的几天工作也让我体会到用劳力赚钱的辛苦。

现在的我一切都过得很好，有住，有车，有的吃，而且还吃的很好呢！哈哈。除了做工让我的手痛之外，其他一切都很好，因为最近除了下雨，天气也已经不再很冷了。除此之外，在这里的生活也很健康，早睡早起，运动（做工），然后天天有水果蔬菜吃，哈哈。。。这里真的是很好的养老国家，很享受，很轻松，但对我们来说就有点闷了，每天晚上只能上网和玩游戏，还好不是长久的，哈哈。

我们这家的屋主叫John,他老婆叫Dawn，他们都退休了，不过Dawn有到附近的一件蛋糕店打工（很希望她每天能带蛋糕回来，可惜没有，哈哈）。而John呢，每天就是忙着画画，做菜，还有设计(绘图）他将要在后院建的房子。我们其实都很好奇，一直以来做菜都是John负责的，然后做好了就端去客厅给老婆吃，Dawn都不下厨。不过他真的是个二十四孝老公，Dawn很好命，哈哈，我该向john学习哦！不过到了晚上这两老还是跟马来西亚的老人一样，坐在沙发一整晚看电视，我到现在都没看过他们有在晚上做其他事情。（讲别人，其实我们每晚也都是对着电脑，不做其他事，哈哈）

在这离家的一个月里，除了女朋友和家人，最让我想念的就是马来西亚的美食了，可能因为是在这里饿过的关系，我很想回去吃印度煎饼，椰浆饭，咖喱面，还有很多很多！ 我回去真的要到处去吃！这样才能满足我在这对吃越来越饥渴的欲望，呵呵。

而在这接下来的日子里，我们应该不会换工了，除非真的做到太辛苦。本来有打算过七月到北岛做其他工，但是这里住的很好，不想换了，所以可以的话就做到七月中，然后剩下的时间就去玩！哈哈。现在期望的就是做工能稳定下来，不再下雨，还有手，千万不要再痛了啊，哈哈。。。赚够钱就真的能好好的去玩了！
