今日之最:
最伤心的事:伊拉克人还在斩首
最百感交集的事:七场戏都演完了
最莫明其妙的事:听周杰伦的歌觉得非常寂寞
最郁闷的事:听周杰伦的歌觉得非常非常寂寞
最高兴的事:AC米兰又赢了
最期待的事:晚上装鬼吓人
最唏嘘的事:世上每天都有人自杀

附短诗一首

蒙面的黑衣人

蒙面的黑衣人
你的心中的墨黑的热血在沸腾
当你站在摄像机前
宣读拯救你们国土的誓言
当长刀挥落
鲜血从身前的外国人的颅腔
喷涌而出
你一定觉得很悲壮
就像你的同志们
冲向世贸中心的一刹那
你们同时看到了真主阿拉

蒙面的黑衣人
傲然面对整个世界的仇恨
漠视人质的恐怖和痛苦
你觉得自己是个烈士

你和北朝鲜的间谍不同
和红卫兵不同
没有人愚弄你
那是你自己的事业

蒙面的黑衣人
你不视自己为刽子手
你视整个世界为刽子手
看看他们对伊拉克做了什么
你冷静地杀戮
凶悍地叛逆

蒙面的黑衣人
当有一天你被斩首
你会是什么感受
是否还会有墨黑的热血沸腾
还是会歇斯底里的大叫
像一个
最最普通的人
最最普通的伊拉克人?

My first Mask & Wig show is in less than three hours time!
Mine. I'm in it. I'm acting. Two months ago I totally didn't realise what a total shit it is!
Mask & Wig is the most prestigious comedy theatre club in U Penn, could well be in US. Its history dated back to 1888. We used to be so big in early 20's century we have our own train!! Everywhere we go the local people will organize a marshal for us, or stuff like that. Our icon performance is 'burlesque', I figure it means something funny, or you know, something very, uh, very funny. But one thing I could be sure: it involves music, too. We used to be so good at music our songs were the rage of the big band orchestra, radio shows, and solo acts of the day. The likes of Frank Sinatra, Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, and Les Brown all covered Mask and Wig tunes. You'll know I'm not talking cock by looking at the spectacular English.
Yeah, it is god-damned prestigious. We even have our own club house in downtown. Converted from a church by Wilson Eyre and decorated by Maxfield Parrish, not that I know who they are, supposed to be really really big names. And I swear to God and Osama Bin Laden, it is so fucking awesome!!! Man you gotta be in there.
So the point is. I'm in a really really great club. And the best lesson I've learned is that comedy is drama, drama is very serious, thus comedy is a very very serious business.
In my life I've been a joker, doing clowning acts to amuse girls and non-girls. Sometimes I do crosstalk and write sketch comedy, even a musical one when I feel like it. But I feel I'm merely abusing my talent. It's like I always flaunt it but I never take pride from it. I was always like: anyhow lah! as long as funny can liao lah!! (apology to non-singlish-speaking ppl)I used my humour to garner attention instead of treating it like an art.
Well, my seniors at Mask&Wig taught me that it is an art. They taught me how to deal with comedy seriously while being funny. Now I'm feeling so honored to be staging our kick-ass show tonight with all those genius actors, including Gary Lundy, who was in the movie "Dornie Darko", #91 in IMDB top #250, as well as leading in "Burning Annie", an independent production which has won very high ratings among critics.
WOW.
I'm so excited!!

Yesterday seems to be a nice day!! I had another heart-to-heart talk with Ms. Z. Got to find out a lot about girls. I think, after all, it's not that hard to make a girl say 'yes', if she trusts you and she's afraid to lose you to somebody else as well, she's gonna give you a chance. If I get a chance next time, gotta be brave. Gotta be resolute in asking that important question.
I also got to find out a big secret of life!!!!!!
BITCHING BRINGS PEOPLE CLOSER.
No wonder I neva have many close friends man, coz I never bitched. I'm such a nice guy.
But it turns out that the world is not as nice and everybody loves bitching. Bitching brings us closer since when we bitch with someone we're showing absolute trust in that person in not selling us. Trust is the keyword.
Fuck, how did I spend my last 21 years without knowing the biggest truth of life while some people know it in their mother's womb?
Besides, sharing crushes also brings people closer. That I know. I had millions of crushes b4 and the whole world knows every single one of them.
Watched American Pie again.
-Do you guys know what does third base feel like?
-It's like uh, apple pie.
-Apple pie huh?....McDonald's or homemade?
When can China have our own American Pie?

我和林姑娘聊了。
聊了我们很久以前就应该聊的事。现在聊那时的事情是多么坦然。如果我们当时一样坦然,故事就会截然不同。
当然,那样也就没有故事了。
我当时是一个混蛋,现在或许还是一个混蛋。
这是涉及两个人的事,我在这里便不再多提并且声明林姑娘系杜撰之人名。以上情节纯属杜撰如有雷同实属巧合。
关于我自己的事可以多讲。
我突然因此想到:我当时还是我自己,我现在还是我自己吗?
我是应该做我自己呢?还是应该改变我自己?
哈姆雷特里面的名言,我今天有了自己的理解:to be or not to be?
人生真是充满了悖论,人生从来就没有什么真理。孩子们,把你们手里的名人名言都他妈的撕了,像死亡诗社里面那样。你们每个人都有自己的真理!

As I finally climbed up the dark damp stairs of bloody Philly Trolleys station, I saw everything I'm so familiar with - Spruce street, Triangle Diner, Mayer. And I had a great sense of nostalgia! My trip to Yale is over. I wished I could've stayed there for one year.
That's y ppl love travel. It's a real escape from real-life chores. When I stepped into my own room all the problems started coming back. Loads of homework strewn all over(and under) my desk, "buy cell phone and DC" on the to-do list, Mask & Wig email reminding me of the hectic week ahead, recollection of a hot chick I saw on Locust Walk on Friday, well actually quite a lot of hot chicks, regret that I didn't pick up the hot chick that I always wanted to pick up when we were alone in Mayer elevator, sadness that no hot chicks picked me up at Mask & Wig kick-off bash, hahahaha, yeah my real life chores are basically based on hot chicks...
Yale was certainly an excellent escape. Everybody was going to New York. My friend at NYU is not free to walk me around. I didn't wanna become an electrical light bulb between Ding and Tian. Therefore, Yale became an escapade. I don't know what escapeade means but oh well.
I spent fucking 6 hours on travel, because of my stinginess. I stared at the NJtransit ticket machine at 30th street station for 5 mins and I was like: fuck, if I go Chinatown now it's 4 dollars, wait, 4 dollars 17 cents cheaper. So I made a wise decision and headed down to Chinatown, wasting another one hour staring at weird mysterious posters at a run-down theater ticket house(Mogwai came! fuck) and talking to ppl who only speak cantonese.
But exploration of different transport means was so fun. I got to learn that Greyhound was also at 11th street station!
I worked out the cheapest way to go Yale finally:
Roundtrip Chinatown bus to NY: 20 bucks
Good: Cheap and fast, if you go at off-peak hour you have the luxury to occupy the four seats in the row
Bad: ppl speak bad english. misunderstanding. I wanted to go to Grand central, the driver showed me the way to Grand street. No light at night so cannot read on bus. But advice for small children reading this blog - reading on bus is no good for eyes.

Metro-north train from to New Haven: 26.75 bucks
Good: big comfortable seats, easy to fall asleep
Bad: Long trip. No toilet. Old ppl easy to pee their pants while asleep

Subway from dorm to Chinatown: 2.60 bucks
Good: so cheap!
Bad: so dirty and no sense of security

Metro: 4.00 bucks
Good: modern and fast, easy to spot hot chicks(very good)
Bad: Dirty, confusing, too many lines, all stop at different stops, what the fuck?

Total: 53.35 bucks

okay now about the stay itself.
Yu ting is an awesome host except being away for half an hour when I arrived(but of course i was like 4 hours late hahahaha) and extorting a dinner from me.
It was so great to see Yu Ting!! One of the few best friends I've made at Singapore. What's more she's a girl and can look chio(singapore slang: pretty) at times. haha! I wrote the above line in case she's reading this. But hell, it was awesome to see her again!!!
We had a few good conversations. She concluded that Americans are nice but they are too self-centered. I didn't really agree, I think that Americans are just not really used to coping with Chinese. We have so many cultural differences. But I think she made some sense by saying that. Americans are in general independent and maybe that's the reason why they're self-centered. My roommate Andrew is in general a nice guy. But he can spent his entire day sitting in fron' of his self-assembled com(which is amazingly cheap) DLing mp3 and comedies, chatting on AIM and doing who-knows-what on his facebook homepage. But I'd rather believe that it's the cultural difference that makes them seem a bit distant from us.
She speaks in an almost-perfect american accent now. Damn I was so jealous of her she adapts so fast everywhere. Apparently she is popular as ever.
But I think she has her own problems too, well I have my own problems too. She was very candid in telling me her thoughts. She even told me frankly who she likes and who she doesn't. Like seconds after that person went away. What the hell?! haha yuting I like your frankness. I regret being not as candid as you are. We had great fun talking behind ppl's back(her roommates in particular since they don't speak Mandarin hahahaha).
It was parent's wkend. Thousands of parents not ard. Yuting's roommates don't like their parents, seems like not even respect them. It surprised me. No wonder American Beauty had huge echoes. The parents are all so nice I kinda feel sad for Sam's dad when we talked to him in some funny college's common room whose name i could never remember.
I crashed a Yale party. There were oh so many hot chicks who are oh so hot. I also crashed a Yale concert and fell asleep.
I met a couple of Chinese at Yale. Cai Li the overachiever. Xiao Xue the knowledeable and independent, Shen Yue the hot and fashion girl, a Shanghai couple(who i think is a weird combination) and a Shanghai senior. These ppl has some organization called QC and they're gonna invite Yao Ming!!! man I was inspired.
Yale has a beautiful campus. The Gothic buildings are so arcane and gorgeous. and the college house with no right angles. Apparently Xiao Xue knows so much about Yale that Yuting paled in comparison as a tour guide.
Last but not least, among Yuting's weird suitemates, there was this girl who I had to mention. She whose name i forgot, sth like mallory? was wearing a G-String when I entered her room!!! wah lau made me nose-bleed immediately.
Thank you Yuting for the wonderful trip!! I was so tired and sleepy at the end but I love my journey. It was all worthwhile.
