I Wish...Autumn Season Could Last a Bit Longer

Hmmm it's time to conclude my first 5-month life in New York State. 

I used to feel excited that I could move to another state to continue my college life. At that time, I have lived in California for more than 2 years and I have travelled all over the state. As an international student, of course I want to study at least two states (Perhaps that is the reason why I study 2 years in community college in California and another 2 years in university in another state). After a month of consideration, I decide to choose Buffalo, New York as my next destination. 

Like a lot of New York fanatics, I'm really excited that I could transfer to another state. Although Buffalo is considered one of the most boring cities in the states (At least I believe so haha), this is not what I want to talk today. I just want to talk about my 5-month life in New York State. 

Hmm... well I enjoy quite a lot actually. Although Buffalo can't be compared with Los Angeles in terms of Asian food varieties and Asian entertainment, I still have quite a lot of fun hanging out and chilling with my mates in school and Niagara Falls most of the time. 

As for academic-related stuffs, I feel like university is much different than community college. At least I think the upper-division courses are much harder than the lower-division courses. But the fact is my courses in this semester are pretty easy (I should say). 

As for relationship-related stuffs, hahahhahaha whatever lol but of course I would be glad if someone would actually be interested in me hahahha (whatever). 
 

As a matter of fact, I don't really know why there is something unforgettable in my Fall semester, specially last year when I had 20 credits and 3 of my 6 courses were honour courses and I still had a hell of time hanging out with my friends). I think it's just a coincidence but I'm not sure about that. This semester has gone so fast and I have about 2 more semesters to go before moving to the brutal society to find a job. Yeah Buffalo is such a boring city, but I guess it is also a good place for me to concentrate on my degree programme since there is not such distractions and other stuffs. Anyway, that's all I want to say. Christmas is just right around the corner and I wish everyone a happy Christmas!!  

是時候要總結一下在紐約生活了五個月的日子。 

曾幾何時我真的很期待可以去另一個州繼續我的學校生活。當時在加州生活了兩年多了，我幾乎去了加州任何角落。作為美國的其中一位國際學生，我當然想在有限的時光可以在最少在兩個州讀書啦（這亦是我頭兩年在社區學院讀書，然後在四年大學完成我的學位）。報了10多所大學，我決定選擇了紐約州水牛城作為為我的下一站。 

跟很多紐約愛好者一樣，我都很興奮可以前往下一個州繼續我的旅程。但我知道很多人都知buffalo是一個超悶的地方耶。不過這不是我想講的重點。今天我只是想講在紐約生活了五個月的日子。 

嗯。。。其實這五個月我蠻開心呀哈哈。雖然buffalo不像我之前住在LA一樣有超多亞洲菜為主的餐廳和有超多好玩的地方，但是就是因為這樣，我大部分時間都是在學校跟朋友吃飯聯誼。今個學期我認識不太多朋友，只是數位來自台灣大陸新加坡越南緬甸的朋友。雖然我沒有太多朋友，有時候我會跟朋友遊商場遊尼加拉瓜瀑布等等呢哈哈。 

至於讀書方面，哈哈無疑大學的讀書壓力會比社區學院多得多。不過可能我今個semester的schedule比較輕鬆，還有的時我並沒有遇到什麼大難題（其實我覺得整個sem我好像都沒有用功讀書哈哈）。 

至於愛情方面，哈哈有人喜歡我的話我就超開心啦哈哈（所以不用多講）。。。 

其實不知何解每年的秋季總是過得特別開心，不過anyway，現在我的很想快一些在buffalo完成我的學位後去美國大城市工作，因為buffalo這一類型的城市真的不太適合我。不過，也許buffalo是一個可以讓我集中讀書的地方吧。。。好吧，今天我講夠了，聖誕節快樂啦各位。。。

Why Not Using Mobile Phones To Record Everything In Your Life不如大家嘗試利用電話來記錄生活中的每一個點滴

昨夜我看了一部日本電影令我動起腦袋寫一篇有關於攝影的＂不專業＂文章。

其實，我是一個甚為喜歡攝影的人。雖然自己並不是一個用專業相機＂扮專業地＂拍攝眼裡所看見的東西的人，但是，我絕大部分的時間都會用我部電話snapshot，然後當然upload到facebook期待朋友和其他人的like與comment。

或許，使用電話影相＂俾人＂感覺上好＂唔pro＂（不專業），但是並不代表使用電話的攝影人士對攝影沒有多大的興趣。

去年生日的時候我一位女性朋友送給我一本攝影集。內裡介紹一些攝影技巧和著名攝影師的作品。當時我感到很奇怪為什麼她怎會知道我喜歡攝影，她跟我說從你facebook album中的相片就知道我是一位＂攝影之人＂。她亦很欣賞我一些電話作品。說起來，她真的超厲害！竟然來以從我Facebook album中得知我的興趣！

雖然現在已經有很多年輕人會用專業相機來拍攝，但我仍然會使用電話作為主導拍攝工具，不過我亦會盡快買一部專業相機留待旅行時使用。

Yesterday Night I watched a Japanese movie, which inspired me to write an "unprofessional" article about photography in my world.

As a matter of fact, I am really fond of photo-shooting. Although I don't use a professional camera professionally photo-taking, I use my mobile phone to take some snapshots most of the time, and then upload to Facebook to share with others and wait for their likes and comments.

Perhaps, people may think that using mobile phones to take photos is unprofessional, it doesn't mean that people who use their mobiles to take photos do not have any enthusiasm on photography.

Last year's birthday, one of my female friends gave me a book showing you some photo-shooting skills and photos shot by professional photographers. At that moment, I was wondering how she knows I am a photo-shooting fanatic. My friend said that "I can tell you must be a photoman from your Facebook album." She also appreciated the photos that I took.

Although a lot of young people use professional camera, I still insist of using my mobile phones as a major tool of photo-taking; but I will buy a professional camera for travelling.

你有没有在主題公園尋找到你失去已久的“童真"？Have You Ever Discovered a Thing That Does Not Exist in Your Life Anymore—Innocence?

（小熊維尼 Winnie the Pooh）

六月十五日

昨天看了不能夠錯過的歐國盃英格蘭對瑞典的足球比賽後就跟了我的朋友去了可能是南加州最有名的主題公園—迪士尼樂園（今次為兩年半的第三次）。

到了迪迪尼（香港人對迪士尼的另外一種的稱呼）後，我們當然就急不及待地去每一個機動遊戲設施。相比起香港大嶼山竹篙灣的“小迪士尼”，美國南加州的迪士尼就相地上大得多。但是，跟香港一樣，美國的迪士尼也需要排隊（輪候）。每個機動遊戲設施需要輪候超過一小時（事關可能是星期五的原故）。

但是，機動遊戲並不是這個我寫blog的原因。今回我想講關於我你失去已久的東西—童真。

去迪士尼，當然不會只是玩機動遊戲那麽簡單啦，還有會在樂園裹面周圍行吓（散步）。途中看見有很多細路仔、細路女（小男孩、小女孩、）周圍玩樂。他們你追我逐的時候臉上帶有的可愛笑容及呼叫聲，還有無限的力氣，真令人（我指二十歲的我）懷念失去了很久的童真呢！

還記得小時候，很多成年人常常跟我説：“你要珍惜你童年的時光呀，因為這會是你人生中最快樂的時光。”不過那時候我並没有把他們的説話放在心中。但是随時間慢慢流逝，我開始明白到童年的那種“樂趣”。

現在我已經不能夠好像我小時候那樣四周圍追逐，思想亦不可以像以前一樣那麽innocent，那麽childish。現在我只能夠去一些充滿“細路仔”的地方，細心回味曾經擁有的東西—童真。

Yesterday, After watching an unmissable football match, England VS Sweden, I went to Disneyland with my friends (my 3rd time in two and a half year).

After arriving Di-Di-Ney (alternative term of saying "Disneyland" in Hong Kong), we undoubtedly went on every single roller coaster and amusement ride in the park. Compare with the Siu-Di-Di-Ney (Small Disneyland) in Penny's Bay, Lantau, Hong Kong, the Disneyland in Southern California is enormous (although the biggest Disneyland in the world is located in Florida, US). However, both Disneylands in Hong Kong and California share the similarity of having a long queue in every roller coaster and ride (perhaps it is because it is Friday).

Notwithstanding, roller coasters and amusement rides are not the major theme of my blog, but the precious thing that does not exist anymore in our life—innocence in our childhood . 

In addition to going on the roller coasters and amusement rides, we were often surrounded by kids while we were walking around the park. Their smile and yelps really reminded me of my innocence in my childhood (can't believe I am 20 years old already).  

I still remember that when I was a child, a lot of adults often told me, "You have to treasure every single moment in your childhood because this would become your happiest moment in your entire life." At that moment, I did not really care about what they had said to me; but as time went by, I started to understand why they kept on telling me to treasure my childhood (Because childhood is the treasure of my entire life. Unfortunately in certain period of time we had to let go the treasure and move on to our next stage—adolescence) . 

Right now, I cannot act like a kid chasing around with my friends and think innocently. Instead, I could only go to Disneyland or other gang-of-children areas to find my innocence that I used to have in my childhood. 

為何不在長長的暑假中找一些東西來消磨時間呢？？Why not doing some crazy stuffs in your spare time during the summer holiday??

6月5日

這麼長的暑假，學生哥總是會想做一些東西來充實他們的暑假，對吧？但是，既然是暑假，沒有理由是crazy shopping或者去餐廳吃飯，對吧？為何不做一些瘋狂的東西呢？今晚，我跟朋友去唱K。我不是說兩個小時那麼簡單呀，而是七個小時呀！！

我跟三位朋友去了Irvine的有台灣風味的＂三年二班＂吃過了晚飯後，我們去了Plush Karaoke Lounge唱K。這個K店在星期一到星期四傍晚七點至凌晨兩點任唱還有飲品有任飲。

七個小時唱盡了港台華語英文日文新舊歌，夠crazy了嘛？

或許，我的經歷可能給作一些提示。

June 5th

In the summer holiday, pupils often do something to enrich their summer holiday, right? Some pupils may do crazy shopping, eat out frequently, or simply rest all the time at home. But have you thought of doing some crazy stuffs during the holiday? Tonight, I went to sing karaoke with my friends for 7 hours! Crazy, isn't it?

I went to a Taiwanese restaurant called "Class 302" to have dinner with mates. After that, we went to a place called "Plush Karaoke Lounge" to sing karaoke. The customers can enjoy singing as much as they want and free refills on drinks between Monday and Thursday, from 7pm to 2am.

Singing Hongkongese and Taiwanese Chinese songs, English songs, and Japanese songs for seven hours is crazy, isn't it?

Perhaps, my experience may inspire you.

是時候回憶一下在加州兩年生活的日子 It's Time to Recall my Two-year Life In California

6月1日

今日，可以用一句來形容：發掘所帶來的趣味。為何我會這樣說？因為，今天我花了整個下午的時間去打掃我的房間（我也會打掃呀！！）。

我今天把所有在兩年多大學生活的notes放入去碎紙機（當然有些人會用＂廢紙＂來形容）。雖然，要處理要那麼多的紙張是一件很累的事情，但是，不知為何，這些陳舊的notes不禁令我想起我漫長但轉眼間又兩年多的加州大學生活。

哈哈哈哈。。。看了一第篇又一篇的紙張，真的令我大笑起來！！其中有一張完完全全表現了我的繪畫天分！還記得在西方文學課，每一課我都在想着何時才下課。有一次我很無聊地畫了一張＂老師教書圖＂，我畫完後給看旁邊的朋友看一看，他笑了！！

幸好，我之前沒有掉了所有notes，我今天沒有這個機會可以大笑一番！！

June 1st

I could use a phrase to describe today, "happiness and awesomeness brought from exploration." why would I say so? It is because I spent the whole day o clean up my bedroom.

Today I put all my more-than-two-year college notes into the paper shredder (of course some paper will use "rubbish" to describe that). Although, dealing with such a huge amount of notes is very tiring, (I don't know why) this notes remind me of more-than-two-year college life in California (Sounds long but in fact it's very short).

LOL......I keep on laughing and laughing when I go through all my college notes, specially one note which fully shows my drawing talent! I still remember when I was in my Western Literature class, i always thought that "how long I have to wait till the class is done?" one time, I had drawn a picture of my teacher in the class. I let my next-to-me friend to see it, my friend laughed!!

Fortunately, I didn't throw my notes before, or else, I won't have an opportunity to laugh out loud today!!
