软卧

第一次作软卧，没想到就碰上两位奇人。
一位是韩亚州，另一位是王云光。
韩先生眼光灼灼，陈稳杰言，王先生大胡乌黑，健谈风趣。
两位老先生这次是去银川红花乡去玩，一见到我这个年轻人，就开始聊起来宁夏、银川，与北京的不同，什么在吸引着他们。
火车聊天，那就是侃侃而谈，随性随流，从自然环境、人文古风，到民间的传奇人物，气功、中医及其相关的传说，还有一些那十年，以及那十年之前、之后的人物轶事。谈及北京的建设的功功过过，逝去的城墙，日本京都，梁思成，以及徐志摩、林徽因……从现代的流行文化，快餐文化，从易中天、刘心开、于丹、钱文忠，到钱钟书、柯璜、鲁迅、甚至到对郭沫若、杨振宁的事非功过……

作为两位画家，从他们身上，我能感受到国学的渊博，能感受到自己的欠缺。想到我们天天学习外文，想着出去旅游，去见世面，结果面对着外国人，自己不知道怎样介绍自己的祖国文化，不仅仅是尴尬二字可以概括。中国文化的传承，的确需要现代中国人很多的努力。

其实坐火车于飞机的不同就在于，你可以和形形色色的人面对面的作着，而不是面对椅背上的液晶屏。长者们的经历，对于每一个人，都是珍贵的历史。

Babel

Oh my god, I finally spent my free movie coupons on Babel. by Alejandro González Iñárritu



I was so angry that the local movie web told everybody the story, but finally I made up to the cinema, and to read the whole story along with the lovely music scored by Gustavo Santaolalla. The story has some where alike Crash, but has its own style.
The best actors in this movie from my point view are Adriana Barraza, and also the two sons of Mohammed. Also we can saw some familiar faces, such as Elle Fanning - the younger sister; and Michael Peña, the locksmith in Crash...

OK. Some other highlights today...(ft, already passed the mid-night) The Timberland is so pricey. The BreadTalk is so delicious....

A puppet

Take a look of this guy below.

Updating.... from yesterday

Ready to cook the eggs as usual, but I found out that the egg-cooker has been powered up for almost one day. The plastic support was already melt. Poor guy, only lasted for 3 month. I must have forgot the egg last night?

That's why we need the over-heat protection / auto-power-down circuit for an egg-cooker.

2007-03-10, Saturday
the agent called me about an apartment available for selling. I went there, and soon be persuaded by the salesladies. Just ready to pay the deposit, a guy came and started to change the lock. Shit, it turned out that the owner of the apartment had already sold to another one, bypassing the agency.

Later, I took the bus and metro to the Landmark Forum introduction session, met with my colleagues and spent 2 hours listening to this so-called "World Second Top Adventure". I was really touched by those ex-attendees who, including my high school classmate Sally, became the volunteer for the Lardmark China.

2007-03-10 Friday, Karaoke in the 17 Miles. With robbyking, qiangwei, lizaydd, tenorhanz, Clarice, and HuaJing. Sang to death. Robbyking is leaving for 3 month's THU-Standford Exchange Program.
