Feel a little bit tired now after a day's work. Actually it shouldn't be, since the job is not a tough one O(∩_∩)O哈哈~ It might be a long lasting listening comprehension of Discovery, which I think is a great program that can fulfill my curiosity. I'm curious a person. Whether it is a good or bad thing? Who can tell? I once suffered from this distinct characteristic, but still can't get rid of this instinct given by nature and don't want to repress it. I deeply believe it is a gift from God. God gives us so many personal treasures that should be well cherished and made good use of, which also distinguishes one from another. Everyone is unique. My next step is planning for further study. It might sound ridiculous, because I mentioned it not less than three times during the past a few years. however, this time is serious. I just can't stop wondering how it would be like while studying and living in a foreign country with the totally different cultural background. To be more accurate, I want to find out who I am. This is a life-long lesson one has to learn, but I hope a different environment could help me to find it out, maybe just part of it, since I'm curious about myself. Perhaps there's another side I haven't discovered. Haha, who knows. Of course, so many things are laid ahead which need me to explore, not just things about people. Just be sure that persistence and hard working are always inside me. Sometimes, need more tolerance which certainly may release some burden and make one feels more happier about his/her life. Anger is the sixth deadly sin of human being.

I've been in Shanghai for more than half a year. The feelings about this city is so complicated. They can not be simply put into words to be expressed out. Shanghai is a material world, a place full of hopes, chaos, opportunities, etc. And most important it's full of people which i don't like, even hate. This city has efficient transportation facilities which is a requirement for its great expanse. I enjoy the splendid night sight of Global Financial Center, Oriental Pearl and the band view every day from the 24th floor where I live. It's a newly thriving city located in the east coast of Asia that dares to tell the world some day it will become the global financial centre. Till now we don't know whether it is a boast, time will tell, but the fact that everyone can see is Shanghai is definitely leading its way to prosperity and a brighter future. 

Shopping malls and business centers could be seen every where, almost at every metro stop there are some. To be honest, I don't think these have much things to do with me. I'm not a material girl who can't live without Cucci, Levis, Channel or other luxurious brands. Some occasional enjoyment of going to cafe or taking a walk on the bond with boyfriend also satisfies me. Beautiful, though expensive clothes attract all girls, including me. But a few is enough. For me, Jewelries are not symbols of status. Land Rover is also not a necessity. More and more private owned cars are polluting this city, making the living standards lower and lower, the air quality worse and worse and the temperature higher and higher in summer. I would prefer to ride a bike to places near is the environment is good and weather is pleasant. However, it's impossible now, for my sensitive skin can't be exposed to dirt in the air.

Another thing I want to say is the Shanghai people, sorry to say so, but I just mean some of them. The sense of superiority may sometimes nurture improvidence. No one denies the truth that it's a great place with convenient transportation, pleasant weather, and is rich of talented people. People all over the world are now flooding into this so called great place to look for opportunities or fulfill dreams, which make Shanghainese feel so proud about themselves. There are talented locals who are also hard working. But some, born in Shanghai, just enjoy their status of being a Shanghainese. They are not as competitive as people from other places who are trying to make a living in this city. They are just like a frog in a well and don't want to go out, but enjoy the little peace of sky above its head. They just forget how much efforts, tears, sweat even blood they left here for the development of the city. Nothing is perfect, so is the society. The Shanghai government also establishes some policies of regional protection. I'm not a cynic. What I want to do is just to choose an objective angle to say something about this city.
