<p>For a brief update,    <br />I have been busy, working, and leading a life in Asia,     <br />Been travelling as well for business trips, </p>
<p>I have been confused, and had been debating with myself,    <br />for many things that don’t seem to add up,     <br />and don’t seem to be acceptable in the society I am living in. </p>
<p>Recently, there’s a change in my friend’s webhosting,    <br />and thus, I lost a few posts,     <br />but I’ll update more, soon….</p>
<p>I have been trying to capture non-portrait pictures,    <br />and hope when I’ve found some inspiration,     <br />I’ll add some quotes or poems</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><a title="Winter @ Peking University" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/14965181@N00/4188891087/"><img border="2" alt="Winter @ Peking University" src="http://static.flickr.com/4009/4188891087_7770321343_b.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>The year 2009 is ending,    <br />and the new year 2010 is arriving,     <br />in 4 hours, 30 minutes,     <br />and a few more seconds, to be precise. </p>
<p> <span id="more-351"></span>
<p>What was my last year’s new year’s resolution?   <br />to survive the year?    <br />“to get stronger this year, and healthier”</p>
<p>It has been a year since college graduation,   <br />and what have I accomplish on the year 2009?    <br />Besides family issues,     <br />I guess, Chinese and Indonesian language skill? </p>
<p>As time pass by,    <br />I learnt more of my history, my family,     <br />and myself. </p>
<p>But at the same time,    <br />time also help to clean some of my memory,     <br />heal some wound,     <br />and free some of my hard drive, good or bad. </p>
<p>Living in China as a foreign student (as I have always been) in the year 2009,    <br />is not as I expected it to be,     <br />I thought that I belong here (as a Chinese),    <br />but, no, I don’t think I am welcomed here.     <br />I guess, I feel belonged (or home) being with my family, and my dog. </p>
<p>Next year’s resolution?   <br />to survive the year, lead a more meaningful life,     <br />provide as much happiness as possible,    <br />and start earning profit and sales!</p>
<p>Health wise,    <br />I can only cross my fingers,     <br />I can’t afford to lose anything more than what I am expecting,     <br />and I can’t afford to lose anyone either.</p>
<p>To conclude the year,    <br />it is time for me to officially bid farewell to my student life,     <br />and expect the best of a new life as a business woman. </p>
<p>Happy New Year, Everyone!</p>

<p>Love, Relationship, Marriage,<br />
are all very controversial topic,<br />
especially when discussed with different people from different countries.</p>
<p>It is such a boring, un-debatable discussion,<br />
that I hate to discuss with the class,<br />
because I am a very different and odd individual,<br />
and everyone is different.</p>
<p>Each of us have our own opinion,<br />
so why choose the topic to be discussed in Oral Chinese class?</p>
<p>It’s annoying and disturbing to be here,<br />
I need a personal space,<br />
from this environment,<br />
from this society.</p>

What&#8217;s your goal coming out from here?<br />
What would you want us to help you?<br />
I always got confused answering these kinds of questions. <br />
Because I have no idea what I want, or what kind of help I need. <br />
All I know, is that, I am the only one who can help myself. </p>
