It seem to be the return of Arsenal in the session with 49 matches unbeaten. Without Henry, Bergkamp, the new gunners did a great job. 7:0 in the UEFA, it’s really amazing. The real Arsenal is back, beautiful organization on the ground, quick pass, one two pass or even with pass with back knee. This is the type of football I like. I like the players such as Van Perise, Cesc, and Bendtner seem to have the potential to be a top striker. Who make these players become top? It’s Wenger! I can say I’ll always love Arsenal if Wenger stay in it. Wenger really a great coach, the principle of beautiful football really what I want.
It’s a little pity that I can’t watch the live match on Television in U.S. This year really a good year of beautiful football, Arsenal, Barcelona, Manchester, even Liverpool also play beautifully.
Ah……also Argentina with Riquelme……I hope I can watch these matches on T.V,but not the blurred computer monitor using p2p program.

In the weeks before fall break, I worked hard on my study. You know what? I ‘ve got a D estimated grade by professor. There is something funny when I was studying the library. It was 12:00a.m, and I was sitting in a little corner. Someone hold my shoulder from my back suddently, both of us were shocked. I was shocked because someone appear in my back suddently, and the one from my back was shocked because she scared the wrong person. We don’t know each others……But I would like to say thank you for waking me up when I was sleepy at that time……
OK,after a weeks full of tests and homeworks, I went to Kentucky with my friends. We tried Kentucky Fired Chicken (Simply “KFC”) in Kentucky for lunch! It’s the original KFC,man~mmm…….I love to fulfill my stomach with chicken and chicken,that feeling is so great!!!You may ask about what is the diffierence between Hong Kong KFC and Kentucky F C? I have no idea about that, I forgot the taste of HK KFC, maybe someone can mail me box of HK KFC to me to make a comparison.
And then we went to Kentucky Mammoth cave,the greatest cave in the world! It’s 4 hours away from Ball State. For the information about Kentucky Mammoth Cave, you may take a look at Wikipedia. We stayed in Kentucky for 2 days, in the first day, we joint the historic tour of the cave, the cave is so big that it is impossible to travel everywhere in the cave, we walked for 2 hours following the ranger. It is historic tour, so we went to somewhere with signature left by people long time ago. 2 hours, the cave was big, but narrow and dark. I like to travel in the cave because it really like some kinds of adventure,ha, I always want to be a tomb rider. Though no treasure were waiting for us, but I really enjoyed it. The slave worked in the cave risking their life and being a tour guide with no pay. That is dark side of american history. But they left a name in the cave, people know their contribution.
And then we went to a hostel and having BBQ together at night.
The black shadow in the middle is the ranger.
The signature of people many years ago. It was made by the smog of candles, quite intelligent people, ah~hah~
Hiking tracks near the cave
Tree and tree
In the second day, we went to the other tour, call “new entrance tour”. If the tour I joint yesterday is history class, I would say this one as a Geography class. The ranger talked about how the cave was discovered and developed as a tourist place in the history class. Today, the geography class talked about how the cave and the beautiful rocks were made by the nature in two million years ago. I like this tour than the historic one as the rocks are much more beautiful in this tour. We saw the stalactite, it’s pretty awesome! It’s made by calcium like our teeth, and it’s really look like my teeth becasue it’s a little bit yellow too( I clean my teeth frequently, it’s a bit yellow just because I drink too much tea, and I’m not a smoker!).
Beau~Beau~Beautiful~
It’s difficult to take a pictures in the cave without a tripod. But I won’t bring it to travel as I don’t think it will be a good experience to travel with a tripod. Just like what I did in the usual, holding my camera on the stone or handrail. The photos usually blurred, but it’s OK if the size is not too big.
After the cave tour, we went horseriding. Ah…….It’s a good experience. But I would say it would be much better if the horse can run. The guide don’t allow us the run, we just riding on the horse and the horse walk one by one for one hour. We learnt to shout Yo~Ho~,He~Ho~,He~Hoo~something like that. Maybe cowboy like to say that, but the horse has no response about that.Ya, forgot to tell you, the horse I rided call Adleg, it looks stupid but it ‘s really nice.
Look at my camera!Stop facing your bums to me!
We ride the horse to the farest side in the picture and than made a U turn. That is our 1 hour horsing riding journey. He~Hoo~
In the language and society class, the professor talked about accent in diffierent place of U.S. People in some of the rural place have a accent and city people call them “hillbilly”. I wrote an essay about that, and I really listened someone speak like hillbilly in Kentucky. It’s qute funny to meet what you’ve learnt. But there is absolutely no fun in writing an essay.
At night, we went to Louisville,hanging out in Hard Rock Cafe.
We went back home at 1a.m.

Playing soccer,watching TV series,hanging out in the weekends……I did nothing about study in these past months……It’s fine at first,I can get everything alright.But times go by……in the J101 class the professor said 8 of you guys may get D or F……I feel pressure when he glance at me. O.K……I’ve to work hard now.The short paper of ENG220…….I did nothing about it, and it require me to interview others.
Don’t worry about me,I believe I can do it.Doing everything in the last minute is the style of Hong Kong students,right?
I went to Air Jam show yesterday night,it’s really great!Students here play even much better than the artists in Hong Kong!

People in dormitory always said my roomate have strong smelling of cologne in the first semester and smelling of pet in the second semester.But I think it’s O.K.I can accept it, and adopt to it.
By this time, my nose can not bear it anymore. Someone vomit on the carpet and in the toilet!It’s sound doesn’t matter to my room. I don’t know who’s the stupid made the heat-up system. The heat-up machine of my room and the toilet interflow……So that the smell of vomit came out from the heat-up machine.
My roommate made a great describtion about the smell,it smells like expired milk…….aweful…….
We two slept in the living room last night.

I cooked curry beef for dinner with other HongKongers today(I’m the main chef).Not bad,the beef may be cooked too long,not easy to bite.
And then went to late night party again.It’s lucky that we can book the bowing lanes.I enjoy it even I played bad……How many scores did I get?It’s a secret!
I played pool after bowing.The same as bowing……I played bad…….
I’m really not good at these “sports”(For me,sports are those activities require running.I would call bowing and pool lazy sports if I must do it.)

無論在香港住宿舍,美國住宿舍。對於「回家」這個字眼仍有十分在意,上完課,寒暄一番:「歸家了嗎?」我答:「嗯,回宿舍。」我的家在香港,在粉嶺,是房間不大,在床上不能把腳伸得直的家。宿舍不是我的家。即使在香港,雖然宿舍熱鬧一點,好玩一點,但始終也不是我的家。
對於寒暄不用在意吧,隨便應酬一下便算了吧。即使口裡沒有作解釋,也要默記我的家在香港。

Change, Change, Change,
Change, Change, Change,
Chorus:
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I’m just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I’m just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change the world)
Can somebody help me? (change the world)
Everyday I saw you there chillin on the corner
puffin on crack and marijuana
Because I know how your life is
nobody just be guidin, no
Hope to see black people living longer
also less kids without fathers
We should all come together
Please stop fighting and killing each other
Its what happens when your living in the street life
its so dark and you don’t get sunlight
People seeing why you don’t get treated right
But I’ma try to change it
Chorus:
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I’m just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I’m just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change the world)
Can somebody help me? (change the world)
Many people living off welfare
Hoping things get better next year
but I’m covered in tears
so many sick without health care
too many innocent people dyin’
and I don’t know why
you gotta keep your eyes open even when your rollin’
as days go by
Its what happens when your living in the street life
its so dark and you don’t get sunlight
People seeing why you don’t get treated right
But I’ma try to change it
Chorus:
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I’m just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I’m just one man trying to do it on my own
Bridge:
Somebody change the world
we’ve got little boys and little girls
growing up on this sinful earth
oh whats happening?
I don’t know, but please tell me
we’ve got all these criminals and discretes
killin people for no reason
I don’t know why
chorus:
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I’m just one man trying to do it on my own
Oh I wish I had the power, the power to change the world
But I’m just one man trying to do it on my own
Can someone help me? (change, change, change)
Can somebody help me? (change, change, change)
