I hate Yahoo

There are many bad things around, but Yahoo should be the worst, especially Y!Messenger.
One time I was chatting with Orchid, and she told me she just bought a new cap. When she was going to show me her picture with it, my Y!M immediately signed out. O.0!!!! What the…! I quickly signed in again, and she was still there. It’s really awkward to ask her to share the picture twice, but I did. This time, the loading bar didn’t work =.=, though it was only 10Kb! The picture was right there but I couldn’t do anything to get it.

Only thing I could get was:
T_____T’ That time, my body was shaking in anger. Arghhhhhhhhh!!!
One crazy Y!M is a problem, but both Y!M are crazy should be a tragedy. And Orchid’s Y!M was crazy – even crazier than mine =.=. One time, her Y!M suddently signed out, I thought she was busy, so I said goodbye to her. The next day I turned my laptop on, I saw messages of her – from the day before:

Orchid: oh, you are busy now 

Orchid: good bye 

Orchid: see you later :)

===.=== … poor me.

When we chat to each other, sentences got lost became so usual. Sometime I asked her sth, then waited for half an hour till she said: “don’t you say anything?” =.= It is not good. It is really dangerous indeed. What’d happen if someday, I… propose her…, and Y!M turn to be crazy again? … It is bad.

I hate Y!M Hate it a lot. ARGHHH!!!!

But, I even love it more.

It is Yahoo that has been helping me for years. It’s because of Y!M that I can see my DF, I can talk with my family, my friends… And, everything I could do for our relationship depends on Yahoo totally.

Thank you, a lot. Because of Y!M, and also 360.

This semester, anytime I was in trouble, or be depressed, I couldn’t do anything else but write a new entry. I’d see my friends again, and ‘d realize that I am cared.

There was something Orchid doesn’t know, it’s this blog. Despite of anything, I DO want to show her this blog – when the time comes. I don’t know when, but it’d not come soon. And, since I have been waiting for that moment, the Yahoo!inc. just decides to start Mash, and give up 360! “The beginning of 2008”- only few more months, this blog will be gone, along with my hopes, my efforts, my loves, my memories… Oh, how unlucky! How harsh!

I love Yahoo. And I hate it too.

If you find this post confusing, it's because I wrote this, along with other posts, originally from my 360 page. I've said about it on my very first post here.

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

How are you doing on your readings in general and more specifically in developing your vocabularies? Recently I started reading a book for my Finance class called The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein. In the very first chapter of the book – a short 6-page prologue, there were many words that I did not know, and I am listing them here: destitute somnolent bulwark scrutinize (to) prick quiescent laudatory salient fervent (adj) frothy parlance umbilical (cord) placate carnage plenitude opiate dictum stupendous I was so surprised to see so many new words in such a small amount of pages! How is this Roger Lowenstein guy? You would think that while reading a finance book, the only words you would stumble upon are technical terms or lingos. Or maybe I am just bad. How many words in the list above that you already know?

Fei's Mooncakes

Fei is a Chinese guy at work who is socially awkward. He does not hang out with others, nor does he talk to anyone beyond “Good morning” and “How are you.” It’s not that Fei doesn’t want to: he’s unable to. But he would bring food to us as gifts – Chinese cakes, Chinese candies, Chinese snacks – for Lunar New Years and other Chinese festivals. That’s what people do in Asia as a way to maintain relationships. A social obligation. The Mid-Autumn Festival is near. No one at work besides me, another Asian, knows about this festival. Fei brings mooncakes, a type of round-shaped pastries, to work and gives each of us a box. The packaging looks gorgeous: a red square box with gold patterns depicting a lady dancing next to the moon. Inside is eight round pastries, about two inches in diameter. “Thank you very much!”, I say, as Fei hands me a box. Every day since, Fei comes over to my office and asks if I have tried the mooncakes. I have not, but I will soon, I tell him, feeling slightly guilty

The Ineffectiveness of English

I have interacted with English since kindergarten, and for the last four years I have been living in the US, using solely English for daily communications. Despite my effort of continual self-improving, I can’t quite understand the language. There have been explanations, of course, such as how it’s not my first language, how cultures and traditions get in place… Only recently, it strikes me with a more understandable reason: English is an ineffective language. There are so many disadvantages of English. First of all is the way one person talks to another. You can only use “I” and “you” no matter if the person you’re talking to is an earthworm or a high king. The same with “he”, “she”, “it”, and “they”. All the languages that I have ever associated with, which are French, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Cantonese, they have different words to address different people. I believe this should be the way to talk, since each person requires to be treated with respect, order, and
