Fire, 911 call and a wedding

It all started at 1:00am May 25th, when I was about to go to bed. Suddendly I heard "Bang! Bang! Bang!" coming across from the street, sounded like some explosions. I looked out through the window, OMG! the house facing my apartment was on fire! I knew it's a newly-built house, just finished the decorating, waiting for a buyer, so no one lived there. The fire spreaded out from second floor to the entire house very quickly. At first I thought the neighbours live next to the firing house would call 911, but it seemed that they were all gone for Memorial day holiday weekend. It's very likely that nobody except me noticed the fire. So I picked up my cell phone and called 911 (for the first time in my life). About a minute later, six fire trucks drove into the street, following by police cars and ambulances. It took the firefighters over an hour to put out the fire. Yes, it's really a huge fire, and something in that house or the house itself was extremely inflammable.
I stayed awake until most of the fire trucks and police cars left the street, and it was almost 4:00am then. I knew I must get some sleep ASAP because I had a wedding to attend in couple of hours!!
Then some Z's....
Then it was this beautiful wedding of Adam and Ashley.
Whew! What a day!

被警察叔叔pull over了 :-(

哎,可怜我这个连高速都不敢上的菜鸟司机,居然在local被警察叔叔pull over了,说我在一条限速30mile的路上开到了45mile,给了我一张speeding的ticket。
第一次被警察pull over, 有些害怕,但看着一辆警车闪着灯,用扬声器让我停车,我居然有些激动。我怯生生地向警察叔叔保证说:" I am sorry, I will never speed again.", 警察叔叔看我吓得不轻,安慰我说:"I am not mad at you, it's just the rule you have to obey."
纪念一下,我第一张ticket. 大家都要小心开车,安全第一。

Florida and Chicago

这个winter break去了Florida和Chicago, 一冷一热,温差巨大,居然我都没有生病。谢谢Liszt 和透明幻想同学,用他们像炮筒一样的高级相机给我们照了很多照片。不过在这种连毛孔都能看清的相机的放大下,如果没有像晓菲mm那样天生丽质的皮肤,上镜还是需要一定勇气的。    Happy 2008 to everyone!My favorite picXiaofei and I - 2Beach bike窗框成了天然的相框Chicago night view as backgroundMerry ChristmasThis one is better

十年

这两天电视里一直在放着纪念Diana逝世十周年的新闻,我不禁回想,当初在听到Diana死讯时我在哪里。想起来了,我正在努力适应着第一个星期的住校生活,根本没有心思管那个遥远的英国前王妃死在法国的事。

 

那时的我刚刚开始了半独立的高中生活,在公共浴室洗澡,自己洗衣服,在食堂打饭,晚自习,每晚十点半准时熄灯,早上六点二十的早锻炼,极其怕热的我努力地试图在没有电扇的宿舍里入睡……十年后的今天,一切都历历在目,毕竟集体生活往往可以给人最深刻的记忆。

 

附中的三年回忆实在太多了,我与我现在的大多数朋友都是相识于附中,更有趣的是,在我的这些朋友里已经有了一对夫妻,一对准夫妻了。在《生于七十年代》这本书里写道:“当年老师们总是说,不要把宝贵时间浪费在早恋上,现在才明白,不把宝贵时间用来早恋,那才叫浪费。”看来我们这些生于八十年代的人早就明白这个道理了。那么在附中,你珍惜了这段宝贵时间了吗?

 

爸爸告诉我,在把我送到附中宿舍后,回来的路上妈妈一路沉默,直到到家,家门一关,她突然大哭起来,爸爸吓了一跳,忙安慰说,女儿一个星期还是要回来一次的。妈妈说,从今以后,她只会越走越远了。妈妈说的没有错,十年的时间,我从附中走到上海,从上海走到美国。还能走得再远了吗?我也不知道。

This summer

我的夏天在妈妈离开美国后也正式结束了,虽然St. Louis还是时不时往100华氏度上跑,但我的身心都开始从炎热里慢慢冷却。
如果从5月底去Niagara Falls开始算起,排一排我的行程:Syracuse/Rochester/Niagara Falls/Bufflo;Okinawa; Nanjing/Hong Kong/Shanghai; New York/Boston/Rohde Island/Pittsburgh。印象中就一直在坐飞机,估计这个夏天我的总飞行里程接近30000mile了。
最后贴上我在大瀑布和冲绳的照片。
