The atmosphere of Spring Festival is fading away, coz today is already the lunar calendar 6th January. For me, Spring Festival merely means of course not getting Red Envelops, that’s beyond my age. We’re talking about keep in touch with relatives (in order to *know* each other, hard to imagine right?), so relative visiting become one of the most important activities we have to execute everyday! Then, weird things happened, some unknown relatives show up and announce themselves as “relative”… Probably i’m still a student (not anymore after June), i think for most of the people who have jobs, Spring Festival means family reunion, the only chance to see their family members, including their small child.

Actually, i should have finished this post two days ago, because of computer virus stuff and makes me re-installed the os twice a day, now i’m still not sure whether the system is ok or not… Finally, the cube-solving time update: 12 times average 49.90 :mrgreen:  PS: 4×4 is a little bit diffcult than 3×3

Sara Bongiorni wasn’t trying to make a political statement. She just wondered if it was possible. For a year, Bongiorni and her young family tried to go without buying anything produced in China. No shoes, no toys, not even mousetraps. What she found was that it was nearly impossible. Read her story and see how hard it was, especially in the area of groceries. I was amazed. I had no idea we imported that much from China. We talk about being dependent on oil rich countries. Are we dependent on countries who engage in slave labor?

I quote the above content from here, now you might see how hard for a foreigner to get rid of products made in China

First time i know what QQ is was the time in 2002, but i didn’t have my first QQ no. until 2003. At that time, it was hard to get a QQ no. through QQ software itself coz Tencent limited its available register no. so that you may have to use the other services they provided to get one, which means you have to pay. And i did, My Bro, have already got his own no. and wanted to get one for me, so he used the phone service and got one, which is what i’m using now, of course we had to paid – RMB2.

After that, searching friends through QQ became one of my daily work. Everytime i added someone, i always asked: Are you GG or MM? How are you? How old are you? Can we make friends? Where are you from? which i called “idiot questions” today. I think most of you may have the same experience to me but fortunately i won’t do such stupid things again, ever.

When i entered the senior high, i realized that QQ is just a tool which we use to communicate with people i familiar, friends and family members, so there were few “friends” left in my QQ at that time, only remained those i familar with. But, it doesn’t lasted for a long time after i learned how to write a post on BBS, asking for help or offering help seems very nature, the only way we can communicate with others is QQ, though email, msn, yahoo remain, but QQ seems to be an exclusive IM tool for our Chinese people. And, that’s what i’ve got now

Finally, i’d love you to add me as a friend, when you add, just tell me your nickname, that’s it. As what i have told “glad to be friends”
