The reason why I determine to sell iphone back Hong Kong to earn money is this,SKYDIVING!
I don’t want to use the money for my daily expense to do that.
I would say,skydiving really the greatest in the world!!!It’s cool!It’s exciting!It’s awesome!So sorry that my vocabulary is limited…It’s Good!
The only thing that you use to bring is,your body,and money of course!As I knew nothing about skydiving,they arranged me to do a Tandem Jump,that mean there is a guy(Joseph,with skydiving experience more than 2000times) jump together with me.The guy will take control of everything,all I have to do is follow his instruction.(I’m really willing to following his instruction unlike what I did in school,I don’t want to die……)
Before you do,you have to sign in some contract for the responisbilities of dead or injuries,something like that.They shown some statistic from 1986,20000 dead of skydiving……for a people with no idea about numbers and statistics like me…….It can’t scare me,I skip it fast and just sign my name on it.
Sitting in a old plane made me nervous.The space is small.I thought of the movie Band of Brothers,we just like paratrooper waiting in the plane,get ready!Fire the hole!
In the first 3000 meters height,I looked out the windows.I’m afraid,it’s really high!Hey…How can joesph be so relax and take a nap on the plane?
When the plane went to 10000 meters height,I looked again.It’s strange,I can not sense the distance to the floor,so,I don’t afraid of height any more.
At about 11000 meters height,camera guy opened the door and I came out,the force of wind made me unable to stand on the step stablely,finaly, we jumped out!
It’s really cool!I tried to do funny face to the camera man!And kept screamming and shouting!
Woo~~~~~~
Time to do action not really much,less than one minute,parachute was opened.And we started travel in the sky,controlling left and right(Ya!I tried to control it)
The world is so big.I can see the sky line.I can see far away.At that moment,I’m under one guy and on the top of millions of people.
About 5 minutes later,we landed!
Joseph has good comment to me,ha!And I got a DVD recording my first skydiving,a certifecate.
Really the greatest thing I did in these months!
Ready!get set!hush!
smile to the camera man…or scare him!
Fair!Landing!
#I sell to iphone but I didn’t use it.I would rather sell it to gain money for skydiving than using it.The new technology is temporary,but the memories about skydiving last forever!
After skydiving,took a nap and hang out for a while.
Late Night Party again…
Washing my face for long time seem to be part of my weekends
Maybe I’m the exception.Mid-Autumn Festival,a traditional Festival emphasie on family gathering,I even forgot this festival until my friends remind me.I’m lucky guy.I met many friends here,and many things interesting to me here,like baseball,party,basketball,soccer,american football,going to church,learning spanlish…Everythings made me forget about Hong Kong.The author of the gerenal saying “People will miss family much more in the date of traditonal festival.”I wonder he probably a lonely and permisstic guy,so poor guy.I only feel the time go so fast,I came for more than 1 month but I feel the date arriving the ariport like 3 days ago.
Long way gone-memories of a boy soilder by ishmael beah
這本書是一個在獅子山共和國經歷內戰的童士兵所著的,講述突如其來的戰爭摧毀了他的童年,家人。逃避戰亂在荒野中掙扎求存,到被迫參與內戰,成為童兵過著非人生活,其後雖被聯合國帶出戰爭之中,但戰爭的烙印伴隨他的一生,讓他時不時感到刺痛。這才是悲慘,這才是苦痛。我很討厭人無病呻吟,討厭看人家的日記丁點事便要生要死,說到世界未日似的。我一直覺得不是關係生死的話,什麼事也沒有什麼大不了。起碼仍在生存的話,便有擁有一切的可能。
吃苦頭是少不免的,吃得差一點,起碼還有東西吃,睡得差一點,起碼能不用擔心生命危險,安心地睡。吃得差,睡得差,捱過了,也是一種經歷,我捱過了,我自豪。我試過在寒風凜冽的歐洲街頭露宿,在集中營般悶熱擠逼的火車廂中過了一晚,很寒酸吧?我仍是笑著告訴別人,因為我捱過了。還有手臂上一大撻難看的傷疤。我常用它來開玩笑的,其實,也不是什麼回事,我還有基本的生存權利。
看過這本書,我得到具體可以比較的例子。不是跟這個童兵所受的苦一樣的話,別怨天怨地,不是我冷漠無情,我倒不認為是十分苦,還很幸福呢。
The world is small.I have this hard feeling this weekend.I found Joel,my former floormates in Hong Kong in United States.It’s really amazing!The last time we met was the dormitory in Hong Kong,May.And now,we met in United States!His campus,Taylor university only 30 minutes away from Ball state!Wow!!Cool~~
We went to watch a football game,Taylor versus…..uh….i forgot the name of the other team.There was one big guy playing in Taylor,grap the ball made a interception,and keep running so fast!He was an exchange student in Hong Kong Baptist Uni too!He’s Brandon.I think I saw him before in BU,but never talk with him before.He’s quite easy to recognize because he is really big……Maybe we’ve played soccer together in Kowloon Chai,or I’ve saw him in Hall canteen or elevator,I don’t know.
With Brandon such a great player in the team,Taylor won the game.It’s fun when Brandon did a great job,Joel shout”He is my roommate!”and Brandon’s mum shout”That’s my son!”I’m sitting between them.Ha~
hut hut!
Later,we went to Ivanhoes,it’s a resturant famous in ice creaml,I read the menu,there are 100 types of ice-cream,crazy…..
We went to watch the Larcrosse game.Taylor vs Ball State.Of course,I support Ball U,and they won,ha~Larcrosse seem to be a violent and danger game….I saw some guys playing it before,but it’s just practice.It’s big difference in the real game,they crashed each other,and the ball is so hard like a stone.
Crash him down!
I hang out in Joel’s room,watching The Office,an interesting TV series.And…dinosaur screamming contest…a little bit silly…..Joel played well in screamming like a pterosaur with some acts.Crazy….
Then we went to Ball state late night party!The theme was Asian.Same as Joel,I’m really excited in introducing Joel to my friends,keep speaking”He is my floormate in Hong Kong!!”Ya!!He just live next to my room!And the poster of his roommate always scared me!
You can imagine,I saw this poster each time I open the door……
I slept at 3am
On sunday,I got up at 8 and went to Church with Joel,I met some people there,nice day.Watching cartoon,eyeshield 21 again,after it.Even I slept few last night,I hate to sleep in day time,I always afriad I can’t fall insleep at night.And than played soccer from 5:00-7:30…Play with Korean guys again.
After that,I have to deal with Iphones…Unlocking 5 of it cost me 4 hours……From now,I afraid to see Iphone……
Slept at 3 and wake up at 8 in the following day to send to Iphone back to H.K……exhausted….
The iphones arrived on Wednesday,and I worked on it.Each iphone cost me 45 minutes.I slept at 4:00am,and then got up at 8:30am to send it to Hong Kong for sale……so tired.
Ya,I ordered 5 more,people in Hong Kong who are interested please feel free to contact me.You may require me to unlock it or not.
Ya,it’s T-mobile but not AT&T,I’m using sim card of smartone.
Acturally,it’s not a difficult job,but time consuming.Waiting for the software do it automatically.I cooked a instant noodles,eating it,washing the dash.When I was came back,It’s done.
A post package arrived today.The latest CD of James Blunt,All the lost souls.I listened it immediately,and I would say quite good.Maybe my expectation is too much,I like the previous one more.I just listen it while reading,not really concertrate on it,or I will have different feeling after listening it more,I like “1973″ and “give me some love”.
The cover is cool,it is an old design but it seem complicate to make one.Maybe I will take more photo of myself and make one of my face later,ha
The weather is so dry that made my nose bleeding in the morning,I rushed to Walmart to buy a bottle of honey.Put a little in a cup and fill in some water,mix and drink it.My mum always do that in Hong Kong when my nose is bleeding because of the dry weather.It’s works.It is base on some chinese medical ideology.But the bottle of honey is so cute that don’t match my style.
Studium:the soccer field next to duck pond in Ball state uni.
Audience:Maybe 10
Referre:a Korean
goals:XiaoLong (assist by me) : Korean & korean(I don’t know the name)
Maybe someone will blame what I say in the followings.I really don’t care about what nation I’m representing for.I just want to try my best in the game,play hard.Someone may confused the reason why I play really serious and keep shouting in the game.The main reason of coming here to me is for fun,let alone learning english, so I would like to play hard, not to regret after match.I ran for more than 1 hour, I think I must be the one running the longest distant in the match.Helping defence and offence.
I always stop running after 15 mins of the game in Hong Kong.Because there are reliable teammates in my back,I feel safe to stop moving……ya,I admit I like to rely on others.In some matches,maybe we lose because there is a burden lazy to run after 15 mins like me.
But now,I won’t do that,I play hard,play serious!If I’m coming for fun,than I will do with all my might when I’m playing.Though we lose, and my feet nearly seized with a cramp,I’m satisfied with the match,this is the symbol of I tried running till the last minute.Like doing I great job.I long for the next match.
Also,I missed my teammates in Hong Kong when I’m in the match,imagining how good if whom is in the team. Um…….Maybe they play better without me in Hong Kong…or this is a must.
Late night party again,there is a counter helping people to draw their face.The staff drew Spiderman on my face.It’s Cool!right?My friend said it looks like ladybug Orz…….I tried climbing the rocks,I climbed many times.But drawing Spiderman on my face don’t empower me to climb it,I failed everytime.
When I go back room,I open the door and Shout “Freeze!” to my roommate.While my roommate is preparing to sleep.He was shocked and scared by me,ha!
At the end,I spent lots of time in washing my face.
Spiderman wearing 2007-2008 Barcelona 3rd away jersey!I really like this jersey!
Climb up…fall down…Climb up…Fall down…again and again….
This is the first time playing baseball.I knew nothing about the rules,and seem to be more difficult to understand than American football.I think I enjoy watching it,but playing it?I don’t know,I have not discover the happiness of playing it.I’m too weak in that.Baseball require speed,reaction and power all together…The main difficulities to me,is the power,Americans really strong,they can throw very powerfully.The ball just like the bullet…Hey…I must die if the ball hit my head…Speed?Maybe I’m quite fast among Asian,ya,just Asian……
Continue to play?Maybe I will discover the fun of it later.I don’t want to give up,but it’s a little bit boring to me…I will consider about it these day…
I got a cold,the weather change suddently.
David Letterman,the host of a famous late night talkshow in U.S.(就是國際台夜晚播的大衛牙擦騷主持人)He is not really well-known in Hong Kong.I know his name,but I haven’t watch his show before.People in Hong Kong probably refuse to sleep for watching Chelsea V.S liverpool,but they will not do so for a talkshow.
Wait for long time,he made a speech.He talked about his life in Ball state,he only got 2.0 GPA when he was a student.Great news for me!Another evidence of acadamic result did little in career aspect!Play hard!Forget about the studying!Fun is everything I need in my campus life!
Some quote of his speech.I can’t remember exactly,just talk about some mainpoint.Maybe I catched the wrong meaning.
“Someone named a building that worth 21million for a people getting 2.0 Gpa in school.”
Goods of having a building named by you:
“If someone say that David Letterman is poor and empty,they may talk about the building.”
“Cool that someone said there is rats run out from David Letterman.”
“The David Letterman building looks good in 60 years old unlike me.”
He’s really intelligent,and creative.And he has a power to attract or affect the audience.Great man!He has sense of humor,can make people laugh,it’s different type of humor from Hong Kong,it’s funny,but not very funny.I think I like the humor by doing some crazy or stupid stuff,such as jaskass,superbad.It will really drive me crazy.I like slapsticks more.
The opening ceremony of David Letterman Building!
Many boardcast company came here,seem to be a big event!
David Letterman,long for his speech!
Happy Friday Guy came to see him too,he shouted a lot,crazy but funny person,you may search his name in youtube.
The souvenir of this event,evidence of I was there.
I went to eat,the cheif made a special version of sandwich for me…
