前天早上刚起床，我就感觉四肢无力，头痛得厉害。一开始我并没在意，觉得只不过是因为头天晚上没睡好的缘故。
可是，上班的时候依然觉得难受，工作几乎做不下去。中午吃饭的时候更是没有一点儿味口。好在工作不是特别忙，勉强还能够应付。好不容易才熬到下班。
下班回到家，告诉老公我可能感冒了。可老公拿体温计帮我量了体温，却发现没有发烧。老公因此断定我是中暑了。可是我觉得这几天我一直没有在太阳下晒过，怎么会中暑呢？老公说，天天在空调房里呆着，而外面的温州却高达38度多，所以出门的时候就容易中暑。可是我不信，坚持去医院看了医生，才发现真的是中暑了。医生给开了点解暑的药，晚上吃了，第二天早上就完全好了。呵呵。
最近天气太热，白天气温高达38度多，地表温度甚至达到了60度以上，当然容易中暑了。以前我从未中暑过，这次也算是体验了一回。 ：）

She is going to Shenzhen
One of my best girl friends is going to Shenzhen because her boyfriend is there. Last night we held a party for her in my house. We invited some of her and our friends and all of us had a nice night.
She will be very far from me from now on. Maybe we would not go out for shopping, walking or something like this together any more. She would not come here when she feels unhappy, neither would I. Although we can still keep in contact on the Internet or telephone, I still feel a little bit sad. She is one of few friends I can talk about anything with, and she is the only one whom I feel totally relaxed when I am with.
Anyway, things are always changing and even if the best of friends must part in the end (天下没有不散的宴席). I hope she will always be happy. I told her I would always be there when she needs me.

元宵节
今天是阴历正月十五，是中国传统的元宵节，家家都要吃元宵，晚上到处都在放烟花，很漂亮，有些地方甚至可以赏花灯。
今天早上老公让我买些元宵，可是因为昨天晚上有些饭没吃完，后来就没买元宵，而是把饭吃了。后来想着晚上再买元宵，可下午又有个朋友叫我陪她去看病，然后又一起吃晚饭，晚上回到家里都７点多了。问素仙他们两个要不要吃，如果吃的话我再去买。可他们两个都不想吃，我也不想吃，看来今年的元宵是不吃了。。。。。。
今天晚上我有点生气，因为老公最近一直忙于工作，每天早上很早就起来，晚上一直到很晚才睡，我虽然有意见，却不好说什么。再说，我也不想给他太多压力，不想让他觉得我不理解他，毕竟，他也很不容易。可是今天晚上我却非常生气，不仅因为今天是星期天，他还是一直在工作，还因为今天毕竟也是一个节日，再怎么说也不该工作到太迟，我想他陪我，可是他说他一时抽不出时间，我只好作罢。可是，心里越想越生气，可是又不好冲他发火，我怕会吵架，只好到网上找我的好朋友聊了聊，发泄一下。再听几首欢快的音乐，心里感觉好多了。
唉，生活总是不完美的，痛苦总是多于幸福。无论如何，努力过得开心一些才好。希望明天又是开心的一天！

过年感想
小时候喜欢过年，也总是盼着过年。因为过年的时候不仅有好吃的，还有新衣服穿，而且还可以和小伙伴一起玩。
长大了却越来越不喜欢过年了。虽然仍然可以买很多好吃的，可以买新衣服穿，却再也找不到小时候的那种感觉了。更何况，过了年就意味着又老了一岁，谁会愿意变老呢？小时候总盼着快点儿长大，长大了却又希望自己永远不会变老。
不喜欢过年的另外一个原因，是每到过年的时候总会想家。也许是因为自己在外面的时间太久了吧，总感觉自己在四处漂泊，没有一个稳定的家。而每到过年的时候，这种感觉就更强了。虽然这几年一直在男朋友家里过年，可是毕竟跟自己家还是有很大差别的。在自己家过年，仍然可以什么事情都不做，只是玩儿就行了，而且还可以在妈妈面前“胡作非为”，妈妈永远不会生气，因为不管我多大，永远都是妈妈的宝贝女儿。可是在男朋友家就不一样，要做家务、做饭、洗碗，还要处处注意礼节，一刻也不能松懈。做女儿和做儿媳妇真是天壤之别。可是，人总会长大，总有一天要做别人家的儿媳妇，要承担起自己的责任。只是，如果能够偶尔回到妈妈那里享受一下被宠爱的滋味，该是多么美好的事情啊。

The reasons of being a good guy
When I blamed my boyfriend for something, he often insisted that he is one of few Chinese good guys. Here are his reasons.
Compared with most of other Chinese men, firstly, he never gambles (except for fun). Secondly, he scarcely drinks, much less is drunk. Thirdly, he barely comes back home after 11pm at night, not even to mention stays outside all the night, never flirts with other women or finds prostitutes. Fourthly, he hardly smokes at home (except at his office). Fifthly, he always respects me, supports me, never controls me and stops me doing what I like to do. Lastly, he often helps me with cooking and chores as long as he is free and energetic.
Although what he told me is true and I admit that he is a good guy, not doing “bad” things can not lead to the result that he is a good guy. Furthermore, I did not ask him not to drink or smoke. Actually, I do not hate drinking and I even like the smell of cigarettes (my father likes smoking and I grow up with this kind of smell).
Anyway, these reasons do work because I would stop blaming him when he told me things like this every time. Compared with other Chinese men, I think he is really one of few Chinese good guys.

About funerals
I was woken up with a start by some noises last midnight. I heard some deafening clamors of gong and drum along with the sounds of firecrackers every now and then. I was not sure what it was. After several seconds, I saw what was happening and it was not for the first time. Looking at my watch, it was only over 4 a.m.
Someone who lived in the next unit of the same building died about a week ago. Today is her(or his) funereal day. Here is the custom of Wenzhou on funerals: when someone dies, his or her family and relatives will hold a funeral in his (her) house for him(her) on the third, fifth or seventh day. Moreover, they must do it as early as possible. Although many people who live nearby are disturbed, they often tolerate it because most Chinese people believe that all kinds of things related to a dead person are the most important.
However, I was wondering why they always hold funerals as early as possible. In my hometown, in general, people hold funerals in the daytime (commonly a whole day). I asked my bf after he was also woken up by the noises. He told me: people from Wenzhou are very industrious and smart. They do not like wasting time. At first, people really held funerals in the daytime. However, most people had to work in the day time, then in order to save time, they gradually hold them earlier and earlier, and finally it became a kind of custom.

About "should have" and "would have"
In most cases, when I wrote a subjunctive sentence (subjunctive mood), I remember I could use a "should + have(本来应该)" sentence. However, I often forgot I could also ( or have to) use a "would + have (本来可以)" sentence in some cases. Yes, I would find it out if there happens to be an English grammar book nearby, but I forgot about it later. I remember that I have looked up it for several times. Of course, always forgot later. I am even wondering how it happened.
I confronted the same problem when I wrote the journal yesterday. I thought about it for a while and finally used the "should+have+V" sentence . However, I realized it could be wrong when I read several sentences of the "would+have" construction in an article today. I hope I will remember it from now on. :)

A Big Surprise
Yesterday Chris told me he was still worrying about making mistakes, actually so do I. I know about my reasons but I do not know about his reasons. I thought about it for a while last night but could not figure it out.
Just now, when I was reading some articles named Error Correction in English and The Language Zone posted on http://thelinguist.blogs.com/, I was surprised to find that one of reasons might be that I always like to correct and finish sentences. I call it “a surprise” because I always thought I should help others with learning Chinese and they would like to, took it for granted and I never thought it could be a problem. What is more I might even never thought about it cause I could not recall whether I really corrected many or not, I just recall that I really helped finish many sentences. To be honest, I felt bad when I should have wanted to help others but finally found it did not work, even probably led to some negative effects.
Why have I been doing this and not realized it? Besides taking pleasure in correcting and scarcely speaking English to others before, I think it might be also linked to the Chinese culture. Chinese people are taught to be modest and prudent since we were children. In order to achieve this goal, our parents often criticize us instead of praising us. Gradually, we get used to being criticized whilst criticize others. For us, it is much easier and more to criticize others than praise them. For me, in my learning English, I really get used to being corrected (from my teachers, my classmates, even my bf). I just thought it is natural and necessary. In addition, we sometimes tend to do something which we think it is good for someone in the way of ourselves’ thinking. Now I can imagine that how I might feel if someone else always corrects me when I am speaking English. J
It is just my thoughts.

Am I a Newbie(菜鸟)?
Although I do not think I am a 大虾(sorry, I do not know how to say it in English), I am absolutely not a newbie(菜鸟) in computer-operating and internet-surfing. However, something happened today makes me start doubting it. Maybe, I am still one of newbies though I have helped some people solve their computer or internet problems (they are big newbies.:))
I have been in www.chinesepod.com/forum for several months. But I never thought I could delete my own posts. Therefore, I always asked for administrators when I needed. Of course, they are always kind and help me. I did not see it until today when one of the administrators told me I can delete it by myself when I wanted to delete my repeated post and asked for him again. I feel a little bit embarrassed.

A Nice Day
Yesterday I went to see my friend who lives in the nearby city. I found an essay when I was reading an English book named Chicken Soup for the Grieving Soul on the way there. I like it so much and I should have planned to post it here last night. However, I did not have enough time because I had an appointment with other friends----going to disco.
My friends asked me why I suddenly wanted to go to disco as I invited them. Yes, they had reasons to be wondering because I scarcely went to this kind of places and it was about five months ago that I went there last time. Therefore, I had to explain to them over and over again. I hated that.
Anyway, we had a nice night----we drank some beer (just a little bit), danced and talked. I saw some girls coming by themselves. Maybe, some of them just got dumped, had a fight with their respective boyfriends, or were not just in good mood. Actually, I was a little bit worried about them because I do not think it is safe here and I would never dare to come by myself.
My bf had not yet gone to bed and was chatting with several friends on the internet when I came back on nearly midnight. He asked me whether I had a nice night and I said yes. Then he reminded me that that kind of places is a little bit dangerous. I knew he was just worried about me. Thus I smilingly promised that I would be careful and never go there by myself. He smiled.
PS: I think it is better to write journals directly in English. As hard it is, I would like to try.

进不了家门了
今天晚上我们一家“三口”去听一场心理学讲座。老师讲得不错，我觉得收获挺大。讲座结束以后，有个朋友让我和她一起去吃夜宵，素仙要和她的朋友出去玩，因为她出门时没带钥匙，又怕回来得太晚，我就把自己的钥匙给她了，老公说他要一个人先回家。
和朋友吃完夜宵回到家的时候已经十点了，我想着老公可能早就睡着了。谁知我敲了半天门也没人应，打电话一问才知道，他后来又被素仙叫去玩杀人游戏了，可能要很晚才回来。听他这么一说，我气不打一处来，他们两个人每个人都有钥匙，一起去玩也不告诉我一声，害得我现在进不了家门。后来他们两个叫我打的过去和她们一起玩，而我有点累了，不想去玩了，只好先到附近朋友家里一边上网一边等他们回来。

情绪低落的日子
最近这两天心情不是很好。我感受到了一些来自职业、情感、父母等方面的压力，让我觉得很焦虑，心烦意乱，甚至对自己有一点失望。一开始我没有在意，觉得也许只不过是像往常一样的情绪低落，可是我的睡眠却受到了严重影响：每天早上很早就醒了，很难再睡着。除此之外，我还老是犯错误：忘了做该做的事情，上班走错路……
看来，我需要找个办法解决它。OK，每个人都有心情不好的时候，没什么大不了的。
PS: 昨天晚上没有做饭（老公做的），也没有洗碗（素仙洗的），这也算是一件令人开心的事吧，呵呵。
Blue days
I have not been in good mood the latest two days. I feel some pressures coming from my career, my parents and the relationship with my boyfriend. All of these pressures make me feel distracted, anxious and even a little bit disappointed about myself. At first, I didn’t care about it because I thought it might be only the bad mood as it used to be. However, it seems to have had a heavy effect on my sleep------every day I wake up very early and can hardly fall asleep again. Moreover, I often made mistakes----forgot to do something which should have been done, went to work along a wrong way, etc.
As it appears, I need to find a way to solve it. Ok, I think it is not a big deal because everybody has blue days.
PS：I did not cook for dinner (my bf did) and not clean dishes (Suxian did) yesterday. Anyway, it could be counted in a happy thing. :)

这个冬天不太冷
I wrote this journal in Chinese on this Monday and just finished the translation. It is very hard for me to translate because I decribed many quiet things.
虽然温州很早就进入冬季了，可天气却一直比较暖和，一点儿也感觉不到冬天的气息，有时候甚至给人一种春天的感觉。昨天当然也不例外，虽然早上有风，刮在脸上有点辣辣的感觉，可是到了中午的时候，温度竟然有十几度，太阳照在身上，暖融融的，很舒服。
在这样一个暖和的星期天，实在是应该出去转转、晒晒太阳。于是吃完午饭就和老公一起去市里的一座人工开发的山上公园(华盖山)转了转。山上人很多，多数是老人，他们有的坐在那里聊天，有的坐在山上的小茶馆里品茶，还有的在玩小孩子的游戏，很是惬意。也有一些年轻人，有的在打网球，有的在跳绳，有的租一张小桌子、几张小凳子，三五成群地坐在一起打牌，还有一些年轻的恋人，躲在某个角落里说着情话。
我和老公就这样一路说着、笑着，不知不觉就来到了后山角下的一个广场上，上面有一个演出舞台，说来也巧，今天这里正好有一场演出，所以广场上很热闹。
虽然我们只是到处走走，可依然很开心。其实，幸福就是这么简单, 至少对我来说是这样的。

This winter is not that cold!
Although this winter came to Wenzhou many days ago, it has been so fine and warm that we have not even felt a sense of winter at all. Furthermore, sometimes, we even felt it like spring. Yesterday was of course no exception. Windy as it was on the morning, and though we felt a little bit hot when the wind hit us in the face, it was very warm and the temperature was even over 10 ℃ on midday. We felt very comfortable when the sunshine shone down on us.
On such a warm Sunday, we really should go out for a walk and expose ourselves to the pleasant warmth. Therefore, after lunch, my bf and I strolled in the park named Huagai Mountain, which was developed by people and built on a little mountain within the urban area. There were many people there and most of them are old. Some of them just sat there talking; some was enjoying some tea in the tea café on the mountain, and the others were playing a simple game which should have belonged to children. They all were pleased. Moreover, there were also some young people------some were playing tennis; some were skipping ropes; some just rent several little tables, several taborets and then (three, four or five as a group) played cards; some young lovers were saying lover’s language hiding in some corners.
We imperceptibly came to the square at the foot of the back side of the mountain by talking and laughing along the mountain lane. What a coincidence! There was a stage show there and many people were watching it. Therefore, it was very lively.
We were still happy though we just walked around. Actually, happiness is really very easy to have. At least for me, it is very easy to have.

爬山
前几天有个朋友说她姥姥家旁边有座山，风景还不错，让我们元旦的时候去玩一下。出去玩当然是好事，更何况我也喜欢爬山。不过，天公不作美，头天晚上就开始下雨，一直下到早上。还好，等我们出发的时候雨已经停了。
尽管雨停了，可是路上还是湿漉漉的，山路很滑，一不小心就会摔一脚。我们一行七、八个人，一路上走走停停，说说笑笑，看看风景，顺便拍拍照，倒也十分有趣。山上非常幽静，不时地会听到小鸟的歌唱，真是一个世外桃源。
几个小时以后，终于到了朋友的姥姥家，我们又累又饿，于是先休息一会儿，接着就要考虑吃饭的问题了，可是村子里连个小饭馆也没有，怎么办呢？朋友说她到隔壁邻居那里去问问，看是否愿意帮我们做些面条。村里人很朴实，爽快地答应帮我们做。不一会儿就做好了，他做的面条虽然比不上自己家里做的饭，可是也非常好吃。吃完以后我们要给他钱，他说什么也不肯收，我们都有点不好意思了。
晚上回到家里已经是筋疲力尽了。
Several days ago, a friend told me that there was a beautiful mountain beside her grandma’s house and invited my bf and I to go there for fun on the New Year’s Day. It is surely good to go out for fun, further more, I like climbing mountains. However, we lacked luck (without the favor from the god) because it began raining from the night before the New Year’s Day, until the next morning. Fortunately, the rain had been over when we left.
Although the rain was over, it was still wet and slippery on the mountain lane. We might slip down without attention. It was really interesting that all of us----seven or eight persons---- walked and stopped, talked and laughed, saw the scenery, and took some photos all the way. It was very quiet here and we could hear birds’ singing every now and then, which was really a paradise outside this world.
Several hours later, we finally arrived in the house of my friend’s grandma. We were tired and hungry, thus, we first had a rest and then needed to consider our lunch. However, there is even no little restaurant in the village, what could we do? The friend said she was going to find the neighbor who lives in the next door and ask whether he would like to cook some noodles for us. He was very honest and frankly agreed to help us. After a short while, he finished it. The noodles were very delicious although they were not more delicious than the food we could cook by ourselves. After that, we wanted to give him some money, nevertheless, he did not accept them whatever we said. We felt a little bit embarrassed.
We were exhausted when we came back at night.

A difficult conversation
Yesterday when I was working, I got a call from somebody who I did not know. At first, I thought he was Chinese because I knew it was a call from GZ, therefore, I kept asking in Chinese who he was and why he called me. However, it was weird that I could not even understand a word when he spoke Chinese to me. As I was confused, a little bit angry, and even began doubting whether there was something wrong with my ear or not, he began to speak English. Then I knew he is not Chinese.
There was another question, though. That is, I could not understand his English. I originally thought he might be from Africa or other country whose native language is not English. Then he told me he was from North America. I was not sure whether he was a native English speaker; however, I did not think my English was so poor that I could not understand it at all. Anyway, the fact is I really could not understand him. There was no other way，I had to ask him to tell me his skype number and told him I would contact him on skype.
Later I knew that he was a friend who I chatted with several times long time ago. Maybe, it was because I wanted to practice my spoken English that I gave him my mobile phone number.
昨天上班的时候，我接到一个陌生的电话。一开始，我以为他是中国人，因为他的号码是广州的。因此，我一直用汉语问他是谁、有什么事。可奇怪的是，我竟然听不懂他说的汉语。我非常困惑，有点生气，甚至开始怀疑是不是我的耳朵出了问题，这时他开始说英语了，我这才知道他不是中国人。
尽管如此，可又出现了另外一个问题：我听不懂他说的英语。最初我以为也许他是非洲人，或者来自一个母语不是英语的国家。后来他告诉我他来自北美。我不知道他的母语是不是英语，但我不觉得我的英语差到一点儿也听不懂的地步。无论如何，事实是我确实听不懂他说的英语，没办法，我只好让他告诉我他的SKYPE号码，并告诉他我一会儿在SKYPE和他联系。
后来我才明白，很久以前，我和他在SKYPE上聊过几次，也许是因为当时我想练习英语口语才把手机号码告诉他的吧。

Then he told me he was from North America. I was not sure whether he was a native English speaker; however, I did not think my English was so poor that I could not understand it at all. Anyway, the fact is I really could not understand him. There was no other way，I had to ask him to tell me his skype number and told him I would contact him on skype.
Later I knew that he was a friend who I chatted with several times long time ago. Maybe, it was because I wanted to practice my spoken English that I gave him my mobile phone number.
昨天上班的时候，我接到一个陌生的电话。一开始，我以为他是中国人，因为他的号码是广州的。因此，我一直用汉语问他是谁、有什么事。可奇怪的是，我竟然听不懂他说的汉语。我非常困惑，有点生气，甚至开始怀疑是不是我的耳朵出了问题，这时他开始说英语了，我这才知道他不是中国人。
尽管如此，可又出现了另外一个问题：我听不懂他说的英语。最初我以为也许他是非洲人，或者来自一个母语不是英语的国家。后来他告诉我他来自北美。我不知道他的母语是不是英语，但我不觉得我的英语差到一点儿也听不懂的地步。无论如何，事实是我确实听不懂他说的英语，没办法，我只好让他告诉我他的SKYPE号码，并告诉他我一会儿在SKYPE和他联系。

An easygoing and hurried night
Last night my bf and Suxian went to attend a seminar. Therefore, there was only me in the house. I originally planned to wash dishes first after dinner, then do laundry and mop the floor. After that, read for a while. However, my bf asked me to find online information for him after dinner. Since I had sit in front of the computer, I also wanted to relax for a short while----I played a simple online game several times, chatted with my friends (online) for a while, and wrote a reply thread (in English and it took me a long time). Sometimes, it is precisely comfortable to be home alone.
After all these things done, I looked at the clock. Oh, my God, it had been over 9 o’clock. They would come back very soon, but I had not done any chores. If he knew that I did not get the chores done, he must say something about it，even if he could not criticize me. Immediately, I had these things done as soon as possible and it altogether took me only less than half an hour. What they saw was again a clean and orderly house when they came back.

昨天晚上老公和素仙去参加一场研讨会，家里只有我一个人了。我本来打算吃过晚饭先洗碗，再洗衣服、拖地板，之后再看会儿书的，可是吃过晚饭后老公叫我帮他上网查些资料，既然坐在电脑旁边了，我也想放松一下，玩了几把小游戏，和朋友聊了会儿天，又写了一篇回帖（用英语写的，花了很长时间）。有时候，一个人在家就是舒服。
这些事情都做完以后，我一看时间，天啊，已经9点多了，老公他们很快就要回来了，而我家务一点儿还没做呢。如果他回来后看到我没有做好家务，即使不批评我，也会说我的。我马上以最快的速度把这些事情做好，总共花了不到半个钟头的时间。等他们回来的时候，看到的又是一个干净整洁的家了。

How to put MP3 files on my posts.
I do not know.
It seems that this is not a good blog.
Maybe, it is also my fault.
I am so disappointed.

my life of a whole sunday
I did not get up until 8:30 Am yesterday. I would have planned to do laundry first after breakfast, then get my digital camera rapaired and go out for shopping with Suxian (the girl who lives with us) . However, when I was having breakfast, one of my friends called me and said that she was not happy and asked me to go out with her.
Therefore, I had to do laundry in a hurry, then got my camera repaired. After that, I went out with here. We first bought some clothes for her, then walked to a park and chatted sitting in the lawn for a long time. We did not leave until 3:00 pm, then we had some snacks. After that, she got something else to do and I went back home for a rest.
I invited her to have dinner with us (she said she did not want to go home and cook for dinner), then we played poker (with my bf and Suxian) for a while. I went to sleep at about 9:30 pm. Of course, I chatted with my bf for a while before falling asleep.
This is the life of my last whole sunday.
昨天早上我一直到8:30才起床。本来打算吃了早饭先洗衣服，然后把数码相机拿去修理，再和素仙去逛街的。可是在吃早饭的时候，有个朋友打电话给我，说她心情不好，让我陪她出去。
我只好匆匆忙忙地把衣服洗了，再把相机拿去修理，然后陪她出去。我们先去逛街买衣服，之后步行到公园里，坐在草坪上聊天。我们聊了很久，一直到下午三点才离开。之后她去办事情，我就回家休息。
晚上我请她在我家吃饭（她说她不想回家，也不想烧晚饭），之后我们打了一会儿牌。大概在九点半左右我就睡觉了，当然，在睡觉之前和男友聊了一会儿。
这就是我昨天一天的生活了。

I am very tired
This week I have been busy. Every day, I slept very late and got up very early, no enough sleep. In addition, I held a Birthday dinner party for a friend on Thursday night and spent five hours buying a new computer yesterday afternoon (Friday) , then did many chores after going home from the Internet cafe, after that, I chatted with my friend (she lived in my house last night). Therefore, I was too tired and excited to sleep well last night. I woke up many times. Fortunately, I may sleep in tomorrow. :)
这个星期我一直都很忙，每天晚睡早起，睡眠不足。而且，星期四晚上为朋友办了一个生日宴会，昨天下午又花了五个小时的时间买了一台电脑，晚上从网吧回来以后又做了很多家务，之后又和朋友聊了一会儿天(她昨天晚上住在我家里)。因此，昨天晚上因过于劳累和兴奋而没有睡好，醒了好多次。幸运的是，明天我就可以睡个懒觉了。
