Whining helps me to ease the pain a little, and it provides some release emotionally and physically... well, it's just me.
I'm so glad I finally found the uninstallation software to remove mysearchnow and hotbar tool bar for IE. Man they were so annoying.
Tomorrow is China's National Day. Happy 55th birthday China! Chinese people get a 7-day holiday for this, although I bet my friends who are in gr.12 only have a day off... they are in the official 'tension state' towards the final exam which will take place in May/June and that is THE most important thing in a student's life. You can't imagine what kind of hell they are living through with all that parental pressure and the enormous invisible stress. But I'm sure they will survive, at least I hope they will.
One thing that has been bothering me lately is: why do the Western people think putting people down is so cool? I've encountered several cases that a person uses cold language to make fun of other people in order to gain peers' acceptence and trust. What the heck? I've never experienced such thing in China and nearly all of my brown friends who just immigrated to Canada told me that back in their home countries everyone were friends, no such thing would ever happen. If you watch Amerian Top Model or The Bachelor or any reality TV, you could see how the competitors backstab each other, I don't see any point besides making themselves look immature and utterly unloving. Thus I despise and abhor the Western society for this.
