Day session 的好处就是没人查票，可以坐到离court很近的地方，而且从早上11点到晚上7点的比赛可以随便看。于是我们就从一个stadium跑到另一个stadium，看完费德罗的比赛，再去赶海宁的场。不过evening session自然也有它的噱头。那天的evening session 安排了Sharapova 和 Roddick 的比赛。只有day session 票的我们虽然还可以呆在网球中心里，却不能进stadium了。只能看着外面的大屏幕，听着场馆内传出的叫声。
Federer Nadal Henin Davenport Safin 8월 7일 Not Ready to Make NiceBaltimore 毕竟难比纽约，来美将近一年，终于听了第一场演唱会 —— Dixie Chicks的Accidents & Accusations 世界巡演之DC站。
Dixie Chicks 这次发行的新专辑“Taking the Long Way”确实是 took a long way。自从当年其主唱 Natalie Maines 的一句“Just so you know, we're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas”，Dixie Chicks 就被推上了浪尖。美国政府虽然没有正式出面封杀，但她们也确实有三年没有出片。而此次新专辑的推出，又是引起了满地喧哗。Dixie Chicks 一向歌词犀利，新专辑仍旧围绕2003年的骂人事件，发出了宣言式的回应，我行我素，决不妥协。并且在这次的演出会上，Natalie又小小的开了布什一个玩笑，不过现场嘘声和掌声各半。
当然炒作归炒作，这支美国最受欢迎的当代乡村组合可绝不是徒有虚名,她们绝对是唱现场的好手。主唱 Natalie 的声线依然清亮悦耳，从唱Martie Seidel和Emily Robison的和声依然和谐悠扬，再加上三人现场互彪琴技，整场气氛High到不行。尤其在唱到主打歌 Not Ready to Make Nice 时，体育场内几乎全体起立，万人齐唱，甚是壮观。一场演唱会下来，我已经腿酸手酸，嗓子也不知什么时候哑了。However, it was FABULOUS!
嗯，过了演唱会的瘾，下面的计划就是去看US Open，上 Letterman 或 Conan 的 talk show了。 8월 6일 Acadia在去Acadia之前，我对这个国家公园没有任何印象；总觉得国家公园应该去黄石之类。从Acadia回来才发觉，原来我是经历了一次仙岛之旅。 龙虾 Sand Beach 浪拍礁石 原始松林 湖泊 岛屿。这是我认为这次旅行中最神的照片 --- 那只海鸥竟然闯进了镜头。 大西洋里看鲸鱼。Humpback Whale. 只拍到了尾巴。 灯塔 Sunset Boulevard 看日落 Sunset on the lake 水平如镜 Flower 海盗! 我在这里收集了 Pirate Flags of the 7 Seas. 喜欢 One Piece 的某人是不是要流口水了呢？ 7월 6일 Farewell Netherlands从来没有这样一只球队如此的激情,如此的血性。 成功和失败一步之遥,尊严和荣耀从未放弃。 但是，老天没有成全这一代天才的谢幕演出。 巴斯腾的沉默，那么长久的沉默。是不是从一开始，他就已经预感到了结局？无论场上如何的风云变化，抑或被斯科拉里指着鼻子大骂，他始终那样双手插在裤兜， 斜靠在替补席的挡板上。偶尔，他会小心翼翼地弯下腰，抓起矿泉水喝一口，再小心翼翼地放回原地。整场比赛，他居然一瓶水都没有喝完，但他第一次身为教练的 世界杯之旅已然走完了。比赛终于结束了。范巴斯腾孤独地站在纽伦堡球场的中央，双手依旧插在裤兜里，像个无助的孩子。在从不缺少激情的荷兰队里，巴斯腾的 冷静显得那样的突兀。 郁金香就这样掉落 ，不管他们踢得漂亮或是粗野，他们都已经与2006的德意志告别了。荷兰的世界杯结束了,我的世界杯也结束了。 罗本哭了，这是他的第一次参加世界杯的经历；范尼哭了，他还穿着替补背心；范德萨满面泪水，36岁的他就这样告别了 ...... 而我们不哭，因为带着一颗橙色的心，我们会回来的；再次回来的我们将更加强大。        
 喜欢荷兰，喜欢巴斯滕，不管世人对他们有多少指责。 巴斯滕是优雅的，不论是做球员还是当教练；只可惜优雅到极致便成为一种致命的脆弱。 荷兰队是悲情的，它似乎被套上一个无法解除的魔咒，发出夺目的光芒而后迅速的悄然坠落。它没有德国战车的强悍，也没有意大利军团海水般的冷静。它就如同一 块美玉光芒四射却又容易破碎。它生活在“无冕之王”的虚幻光彩中却又缺乏一颗冠军的心，一次次伤害着喜欢它的人还有它自己，1998，2002，2006 ...... Where's the end? 其实从来没想过 the end。 虽然我一直说自己 just have a crush on the Netherlands，但8年的crush也许已经不是单纯的crush了吧。 不过，还是要站得远一点，留下美丽的缺憾，一切刚好......                 WE ROCK! 6월 5일 Do I Make You ProudDo I Make You Proud This is what we dream about But the only question with me now Is do I make you proud? Stronger than I’ve ever been now Never be afraid of standing out But do I make you proud? -- This is the question always haunting me, causing all my fear, doubt and hesitation. When I first watched Taylor Hicks sing this song on the American Idol stage, I know this is it, 'all I need to know is that you still have faith in me'. I wanna dedicate this song to my family in the season of memory, and keep the question mark in mind always. 5월 16일 Paradox of Our Times (ZZ)--- A remind to myself. We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less common sense; more knowledge, but less judgement; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness. We spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get to angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too often, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too little and lie too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life; we've added years to life, not life to years. We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We've conquered outer space, but not inner space. We've split the atom, but not our prejudice; we write more, but learn less; plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but lower morals. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies, but have less communication. We are long on quantity, but short on quality. These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion; tall men and short character; steep profits and shallow relationships. More leisure and less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition; two incomes, but more divorce; fancier houses, but broken homes. 5월 6일 Short NoticeJust a short notice to stem the tide of rumors that I'm going back to China this summer. I did plan this trip starting very early and even reserved the plane tickets to HK. However, it was aborted in the last minute. Sorry that I have to break my promise to meet some of you guys and I'm feeling down too. Don't know when the next chance will come around. >_<

4월 2일 Para Para Sakura原来春天的极致奢蘼，在樱花盛开时坐到樱花树下方能体验。 虽然大一就已经慨叹过武大的樱花雨，也曾去过北京玉渊潭的樱花园，但当我面对Tidal Basin 湖畔同时盛开的三千株樱花树时，还是忍不住叫了起来。 花吹雪。 只有华盛顿此时的樱花才让我想起这个比喻。走在密密丛丛的樱花树下，人隐花中，花漫四际，分不清是粉红的霞飘落地上，还是人浮游于天上的云端。心里的欢欣和喜悦一波一波的弥漫，沉睡一冬的某种知觉突然惊醒，闻到空气中隐匿的酩酊芬芳，感受到冷冽中潜伏的温暖，脸上挂满了无来由的微笑——原来春天是应该用心感知的。 抢占一棵最花团锦簇的花树，树下的草坪上铺上一块毯子，就可以坐拥花城，守住一季的辉煌了。花生酱三明治火腿酸奶水果饼干，各式野餐食物不必太讲究，也无须太多，因为已有满目繁花秀色作主餐。音乐也似乎可以省去，摇曳跳跃的光影，轻舞的花瓣，本身就在谱写着轻盈动人的旋律。花吹雪，一阵轻风吹过，坠落了满地的芬芳，一径的落红。春色并未因花的飘落而终结，反而让意蕴着雪落而饱满。“寂寞随花，离枝飘落；花也落，心事也落”。在这一望一思之间，樱花的纷扬不知遮掩了谁的身影，触动了谁的心弦。是否也有人面不知何处去的惆怅，岁岁年年人不同的轻叹。但是你终于明白，这样繁华热烈的生命盛典，值得一个严冬的漫漫等待；这样震撼的璀灿，使所有冬日的沉寂都有了美丽的理由。 “一枝花的欣赏是感悟的轻灵；一树花的欣赏是远望的遐思；一路花的欣赏是沉醉的脚步，一山花的欣赏是漫漶的身影。” “花吹雪”这异邦的神韵，吹落了一树繁花，千载悠悠，循着这飘落的花雨，我们且歌且行。 1월 4일 大隐隐于市 ---- NYC大隐隐于市，小隐隐于野。 --- 题记
汽车快进纽约的时候，说不激动是骗人的。隐隐的，看到繁华都市的端倪，在水一方。
假日的纽约是一个很大很杂很挤的地方，Buzzing是我对它最概念的印象。看到形形色色的人在身边来来去去，心里又重温着在香港看见灯红酒绿时的感受。心目中像香港纽约这样的地方都是有灵魂的，他们的灵魂仿如老树，也只有百年老树的灵魂，才能如此包容，如此繁茂，如此生机盎然。心中一直有一个执念，若是能浸润在重楼、灯火、车水马龙的温暖包围中，随心所欲的呼吸老树旺盛的生命力，该是多么的享受。大隐隐于市，莫过如此了吧。
我们到自由女神像的时候，已是暮色初起了。远看晚霞下的自由岛效果极好。水面上波光闪闪，水纹漾漾，不知名的海鸟盘旋在城市的边缘，远处的女神像半胧半明，掩映在晚霞与夜色之中。
而在与"照耀世界的自由女神"遥遥相对的曼哈顿半岛南端，一个用大厦钢架残骸做成的破旧十字架，悲怆地矗立在一片空荡之中。它就是在911被炸毁的原世贸大楼遗址。整个遗址被铁网围得严严实实，网缝小得连架相机都塞不进。然而在铁网里面的巨大空洞，却又大得异常沉重，像张开口的怪兽，让人不敢去想那里面吞噬了多少痛苦与辉煌。就在这被纽约人称作Ground Zero的遗址旁边，有人在吹奏苏格兰长笛，沧桑遥远的幽幽古调，回响在空旷的土地上；辛凉和苍茫的乐声中饱含了温柔愁郁，却也交织着刚毅勇敢；贯穿一切的，只怕是所有人心中爱与自由的信念吧。曾经不理解为什么当时世贸大厦倒塌的时候，那么多人会失声痛哭，但当我亲身站在这个庞然大洞旁边，抬头不见纽约地标的时候，我开始了解双子塔决不仅是无数摩天楼中的两个点，已不在人间的它们，成为了真正的Phantom of the New York。在现实空间中，只有帝国大厦茕茕孑立，形影相吊。英雄无双，傲然独世的孤寂，又有谁能体会。
纽约最牛气冲天的地方应该就是华尔街了吧。英文名Wall Street真是恰如其分，在这个寸土寸金的地方，每一座建筑都充分利用有限的空间来争取最大的收益，两侧的高楼像大墙一样夹着狭窄的街道，街道如同峡谷，抬头只能望见一线天。谁说商业不是文化，货币从它诞生的那天起便成为人类史上最精英的文化之一。任人喜也罢、怒也罢、笑也罢、骂也罢，终究它存在着并一直生机勃勃下去。
除了China Town和第五大街，SOHO，纽约剩下的回忆，大概就是步行在曼哈顿下城时对布鲁克林桥的一瞥了。从桥的一端走到铁塔底下其实是我的一个心愿，缘起大概是那个布鲁克林桥上的风是一个忧郁的十六岁女生的忘忧草的故事吧。可惜我与这个心愿擦肩而过，虽然没有吹到布鲁克林的风，却也希望所有人的忧伤还是能淡淡的散在风里。而这次纽约之行的最大心愿是时代广场的跨年倒数，可惜这竟成为了最大遗憾。
我们在第三天的下午离开了纽约，从第七大街一路开去，城市的辉光，就此隐去。面前展开的，是通向雨夜中宁静的小城的路。
-- 后记： 感谢sword师兄一路上给我的莫大帮助，可惜这次没时间去拜会了。 感谢和我同行的朋友们，I had a good time. To Rory: 本想在华尔街上找一找你的公司的，但那条街太挤了。希望下次能在纽约跟你见面喽。 12월 3일 Golden Homewood谢谢Wstai拍的homewood的秋日照片，被我upload进blog的照片里。
也许因为现在这里已经是冬的季节，所以再次看到秋日里的画面时，突然有一阵莫名的感动。不过真的很喜欢Wstai的视角 ---- 嗯，真是一个感性的上海男生。呵呵。
11월 29일 Two Vans at a Time今晚我受宠若惊的被两辆霍普金斯警车同时送回家~~~~~~~ *_*
下午在Anna家聊天，竟然一直聊到晚上。我本不惧与老黑同行，要一个人走回来；但Anna坚决不准，又以大雨瓢泼为理由，执意为我叫了Van。十几分钟后，我钻进了暖暖的警车，黑Madam司机又暖暖的问了我一句:"Where are you going, sweetie?" 可很快的，我竟然发现她对我所住的街区并不熟悉，也不知道该怎么到我家。于是黑madam赶忙打了一通手机向总部求援。正当我想干脆下车走回去的时候，又一辆Hopkins Van 开到了我们前面-----竟然是叫来给我们领路的！于是我说不如把我switch到那辆车上好了，黑madam摇头说:"It's raining, babe!" 就这样，我被这一前一后两辆 escort van同时送回家~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
真是要怒赞Hopkins 的Van service。以后晚上我也不乱跑了，乖乖的坐van啦。 >_<
11월 27일 容彩 (zz)车水马龙的街头，灯红酒绿的世界。生命是嘈杂多色的，像一个漩涡卷着你进入，强逼着你历经各色滋味，然后坠入无级，毁灭和死亡。悲剧的结局，却可以有精彩的过程。我知道无法逃脱，于是我便热爱。我爱那些充盈在生命里的色彩，我要那每一笔都真切饱满。像落在水中的彩虹， 光波流曳，百转千回，渲画出一幅多彩人生。
-- 写在感恩的季节 11월 9일 Top 5一门让大家胆战心惊的期中考试成绩终于出来了：
三十几个人的课，Top 5 全是中国人。
看来中国人的高分神话一直在上演。
不过正像大叔师兄说的: Who Cares? There are things far more important ~~~~~~~~~~ 10월 30일 被点名了-_-恩，首先声明我不玩点名游戏，但既然被点名了，总得回应一下。
longers, 怎么到你那儿变成25题了，-_-
我想你最关心的应该是最后一题吧：
25（longers版）大家印象中的我是啥样的呢？？？优点缺点
Answer: 一个字：人才。
QED
-_- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 10월 22일 The World as the Palette还记得04年在HKUST的时候，整个ECE department 的学生和 faculty 像朝圣一样去听 Nicholas Negroponte 的 talk， 这位 MIT Media Lab 的创立者果然没让全场失望，带来了新奇的观念和大胆的预言。然而，一直让我余音绕梁的，却是从他身后那通宵不眠的 MIT media lab 里所传出来的 ' to make (almost) anything' 的激情与霸气。
时隔一年，I/O brush，这项获得了05‘ Industrial Design Excellence Award金奖的技术，第一次使我对某项新科技有惊艳的感觉。当我们还在理性的 argue 它究竟包含了哪些惊人核心技术的时候，I/O brush 只是轻轻松松的把世界当作画笔。令人惊讶的，却也是不出我所料的，它创于 MIT media lab, 一个很 Kawayi 的日本 mm之手。
突然有一种莫名的感动 ---- 或许 PhD 本来就该这般活泼与精彩！
10월 7일 大雨带我逃亡Alone in this house again tonight
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get it over by hiding this way Never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' the self-control I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain Let it fall like rain From my eyes --------- Always feel like crying on rainy days although you were gone on a sunny morning, 9:55, after breakfast. 9월 17일 乡愁小时侯
长大后
后来啊
而现在
———— 谨以次纪念我在大洋彼岸的第一个中秋节 9월 4일 鬼子昨天去华盛顿玩，竟然碰到一个极端反华的白人鬼子，冲上来跟我们纠缠台湾问题，还说了很多难听的话。这种事情我以前也听说过，却没想到会这么快，这么直接的发生。所以提醒一下在海外的朋友们，对这种事一定要有心理准备，要驳斥抗争，要让鬼子哑口无言。真后悔昨天没冲上去揍他一顿  ！中国人在美国终究难以有归属感和认同感，所以 get in there, get going, and get out of there!9월 2일 熟悉的陌生人 -- Familiar Stranger飞机追着太阳跑了20个小时，时间倒退了一圈钟面，我开始了新的旅程。
习惯了东奔西走的我，从未想过美国能带给我什么，却发现这里竟然有我最想要的两样东西：空间和自由。香港让我感受到自由，但不能给我空间；而在刚来不久的美国，却双脚着地，心中安稳，扎实平静。
虽然还是会像新生一样抱着电话数落美国的老土，抱怨黑人英语的难懂，津津乐道哈根达斯的便宜，但内心的安静与平稳让我自己都很难解释；仿佛碰见了一个熟悉的陌生人，会小心试探，而又不会害怕。美国不是天堂，也不是地狱；它没有我想要的全部，却有我最在意乎的东西。我知道我在哪方，又将去向何处。于是，我背起行囊，踏上征途。
After twenty-hour flight chasing the sun, I rewound my watch twelve hours back and stepped out on a new land -- the States.
I've never expected anything from US; surprizingly, I do find the very things I cherish the most: space and freedom. Hong Kong provides me the beauty of freedom, yet no space. While in US, a rookie though, I feel steady and peaceful; just like meeting a stranger who looks oddly familiar, strange as it might be, it's safe and warm.
US doesn't offer me anything I want; however, it prepares me the very things I need to create anything. Just hit the road and get going!
最初的梦想紧握在手上
最想要去的地方 怎么能在半路就返航 最初的梦想绝对会到达 实现了真的渴望 才能够算到过了天堂 8월 4일 Closer -- 天涯若比邻大学最后的两年是忙乱的，从香港到北京，回科大，再到北京，最后奔向上海。虽然很少时间和家人朋友相聚，却很高兴一路都有陌生人同行，天南地北，海阔天空，不断结识新伙伴。
很快又要飞去大洋彼岸了，开通MSN Space，希望家人和朋友可以透过这扇窗感受我的呼吸，听到我的笑声，就如同我一直在你们身边。海内存知己，天涯若比邻。无论走到何处，你们都是我生命中的一部分！
From Hong Kong to Beijing, from USTC to Shanghai, I bustled around during the last two years, leaving little time for my family and friends. Luckily, I've had some most amazing experinece and got to know many talented, considerate and diligent new buddies.
Now I'm heading across the Pacific Ocean to start a new life. I open this MSN Space in hope that we can feel each other closer and not so far. Although I have to sing alone without you, I'll sing it out loud, raising my voice, looking for my edge.
7월 18일 苏菲亚的愿望sophia 离开了她的家 原谅她只有这一个愿望 她沉重的行囊装着小小愿望

所以，如果一定要看明星的话，倒是可以试试evening session。不过听一个印度人说，他去的evening session只能按票坐在最上面，几乎什么都看不到。谁让咱还都是穷学生呢？
