I am just really sorry, kindda forgot about it for a while.

Here is the link to the most AMAZING/SHOCKING/WELL-PERFORMED/TOUCHING magic performance I've ever seen (I was flabbergasted by the beautifully-done misdirection.) :O (The second trick)

Enjoy!

I watched this animation, it's a brilliant work. The way it expresses the idea touches your heart. I think it's as significant when you create an art piece that touches people's heart as when you invent a new technology that benefits people's lives.
Art is NECESSARY. 
Here's the link

PS. We should save the environment and reserve the places also because there are our memories there.

Liuqian has been performing on chunwan again this year. It was a huge success, it is regarded by most people 'the most worth-watching performance' this year.
I am really proud of him, charming and interesting as always.
Though I hope that there will not be a next year of magic on chunwan.
Tons of millions of people are watching,
and they do not want to be 'fooled'
No one believes that it's magic,
they know it is scientifically explainable
and they want to know THE explaination.
The more amazing the show is,
the more they want to know the secret.
After all,
magic CAN be explained,
each trick that is performed on chunwan
will eventually be revealed on the internet,
which means
that the trick is 'dead'
it is not magical anymore.
Does it worth it?
Also,
I can see how tired he is,
no more chunwan will make him happier.

The end.


 

've been wondering what's the most important thing in life.
Who are the ones you should cherish the most in your life.
I've been reading this post about the touching images/memories of people with their parents -
of course everything is based on the fact that they have already left home and cannot return the love and that makes them feel sad and remorseful.
Not even knowing why myself,
there seems to be this softest spot in my heart
that is particularly vulnerable to words like home, parents, separate, leave...
It's actually amazing that scenes like crying but trying not to at the airport in front of your parents because you do not want them to see you being sad because that would make them worry~ 
scenes like that which is supposed to be so personal,
is actually repeated again and again on different people.
Now I believe most of the students in China must experience this when they go to university, unless you are in Beijing or Shanghai, or other very BIG cities.
I read about those people who have left their home but accidentally found out that their parents have been missing/thinking about/worrying over themselves while they were not aware of it at all.
I felt the pinch in my heart because I realizes that sometimes it must have happened to my parents too. Some of these experiences are so identical to mine that tears just helplessly fell down:

1,独自在外面漂2年了
每次爸爸妈妈发短信来说 只要你开心就好 不开心就回家……..
眼泪就止不住想掉下来………(╯﹏╰）

2.我在外地念书
每次开学爸妈都送到车站
一般一张火车票只能买一张站票吧（就是能进站台送到车上那种 一元钱）
如果买两张就要借别人的车票买
上次送站的时候由于时间紧 只买了一张站票
于是只有爸爸一个人送我进站 和妈妈隔着玻璃门遥遥相望
我脸上笑着 心里就哭了 因为我看见我妈妈哭了 她一直看着我……真受不了
车开的时候 爸爸的眼睛也红红的
我从来没在他们面前哭过 每次都是笑嘻嘻的
但其实是强忍着眼泪 都快憋死了
等车开到开不见爸爸了 我就哗哗哗~~~~呵呵
其实挺搞笑的~

3.我爸爸生病啊 检查结果还没出来 就怕很不好
我在外地上大学 然后他和我说 “不要哭 你放心 爸爸肯定会坚持到你大学毕业”
一想这句眼泪就控制不住
幸好爸爸没事~~~上天保佑

4.又一段时间很自暴自弃
有天晚上和妈妈躺在一起说话
我：妈 你说我要是以后什么都不会怎么办？
妈：你就是废物我也要养着你啊
当时就两眼挂泪了

5.我在加国念书 电脑白痴的咱爸突然有天给我发了封邮件 标题是十万火急！！
内容为：发几张照片给我看看！我好想念你！

6.从来没看我妈醉过，老看我爸醉。
结果当年为庆祝我考上大学了请朋友吃饭时，我妈醉得一塌糊涂，在包间里一会笑一会哭的，一开始我还笑我妈酒量不行，后来走近了听到她在嘀咕什么之后，我立马扛不住就泪奔了。
她老人家在嘀咕：我女儿二十年都没离开过我，这一下子就要出去四年还不知道回不回来了，我难受啊，但我还是得替她开心啊。

7.有一次我们一家子开车出去
大半夜的迷路了，路特荒凉而且一盏路灯都没有
我爸有点着急，我妈倒特镇定
还好最后找着路回家了
后来我妈跟我说，那天晚上她一点都不担心，因为我们三个在一块儿呢，有什么好担心的。

8.爸爸得癌去做手术
我在外地上学他们都没有告诉我
妈妈听说刚好我在考试不想打扰我
将近半个月没有打过电话给我
一直到我考试结束
后来听妈妈说爸爸进手术室前想给我打电话
妈妈死活都不让
她说害怕爸爸下不来手术台
如果还没有给他闺女打电话，他肯定要撑过来的
我当时就不行了
还有爸爸说
还好还能再见到我女儿
还有妈妈说
感谢老天赐给我们这么出色的女儿
好多好多话…
父母真不容易
我希望你们都一直健康

To me, the most important thing in my life is my parents, 'cause I know I would be regret to death if I realize that there is still something I haven't do or say but it's already too late... 

This is really a new start for me, don't know anyone from our class, didn't know there was a PRC scholar in my class also until today. The new CT class is okay, though some of them are very quiet. I get to know more people and feel kind of curious of what they are thinking of this new class, this new school and... just their thoughts. Fresh thoughts, different people, yeah.
It also makes me appreciate how easy my life was when I just entered Nanyang, I had a large group of PRC friends in the same class with me, which I think did contribute to us being accepted by our Singaporean classmates. More importantly, most of the PRCs are open-minded kind people with likable characters, so that we could become very very good friends during  the later times of Nanyang. Then the locals are extraordinarily empathetic and warmhearted(xiaoen and yanquan thanks for that),  which, in some of my friends opinions, is almost uncanny. I don't think that I could have handled it if any of them tried to make life hard for us, at that time when I was still not matured enough not strong enough. Fortunately things went smoothly during that very important stage of my life, so that I would be able to have a healthy state of mind and a generally happy temperament. For this I am very grateful.

Life is meant to be enjoyed, so I would not push myself too hard, just cherish and enjoy everything I do and everything that happens in my life.

The end.

Work is never ending, so the best solution is to find a work that is enjoyable so that life won't be so painful. Either it is the profession that you have passion in, or the people you work with being likable. Or both. If it goes like that, maybe there is not a need to push yourself that hard, you need to spare yourself some time to appreciate the bits of heart-warming moments in life. To give and to enjoy...

God grants sleep to those he loves. I'm a little confused, I don't get to sleep a lot because I can't fall asleep! The small sounds in a very very quiet room would give me a jerk and drag me out of the sleepiness completely. Is that a punishment or something? Because I find it very unfair because I did not use the time awake doing anything, just lie there fearing for any small sudden sounds that would fastens my heart beats. Now I wish to pray to God for some peaceful and quality sleeps.

The prayers, xiaoen's prayers are so genuine and sweet and touching that I almost cried. Well-guided Christianity nurtures all the goodness in people, and I'm grateful for that.
