心灵鸡汤

What do you want from Us?

- A Poem Dedicated to the last 150 years of this planet.
By a Silent Chinese.

When We were called Sick man of Asia, We were called The Peril.
When We are billed to be the next Superpower, We are called The Threat.

When We closed our doors, You smuggled Drugs to Open Markets.
When We Embrace Free Trade, You blame us for Taking away your jobs.

When We were falling apart, You marched in your troops and wanted your
"fair share".
When We were putting the broken pieces together again, "Free Tibet"
you screamed, "it was an invasion!"

When Woodrow Wilson Couldn't give back Birth Place of Confucius back to Us,
But He did bought a ticket for the Famine Relief Ball for us.

So, We Tried Communism, You hated us for being Communists
When We embrace Capitalism, You hate us for being Capitalist.

When We have a Billion People, you said we were destroying the planet.
When We have tried limited our numbers, you said It was human rights abuse.

When We were Poor, You think we are dogs.
When We Loan you cash, You blame us for your debts.

When We build our industries, You called us Polluters.
When we sell you goods, You blame us for global warming.

When We buy oil, You called that Exploitation and Genocide.
When You fight for oil, You called that Liberation.

When We were lost in Chaos and rampage, You wanted Rules of Law for us.
When We uphold law and order against Violence, You called that
Violating Human Rights.

When We were silent, You said you want us to have Free Speech.
When We were silent no more, You say we were Brainwashed-Xenophoics.

Why do you hate us so much? We asked.
"No," You Answered, "We don't hate You."

We don't Hate You either,
But Do you understand us?

"Of course We do," You said,
"We have AFP, CNN and BBC..."

What do you really want from us?
Think Hard first, then Answer...

Because you only get so many chances,
Enough is Enough, Enough Hypocrisy for this one world.

We want One World, One Dream, And Peace On Earth.
- This Big Blue Earth is Big Enough for all of Us.

这是一则德国的公益广告，讲的是：请勿疲劳驾驶。最好带上耳机，效果更佳！

今天刚拿到NB，心情可以用一个字表达，那就是“爽”！总算可以不再用WEB这种破方式登陆MSN了！！！来到这也快两个月了，由于这里的同学，师兄和新认识的热心朋友们的帮忙，很快就顺利安定下来了，而学习和生活也慢慢从新奇到习惯，不适应到习以为常了。当然，对我来说，survive is easy，enjoy life at this time is impossible，：)。很感谢国内外朋友们的关心和问候，也很高兴知道你们的很多好消息，发哥和王芳结束了爱情长跑，顾同学的苦尽甘来，文才在新环境中如鱼得水，小宝有了更好的发展前景，小鱼儿的ISSCC，还有陈超和小何的倒计时等等， congratulations and best wishes to all of u!!!并衷心祝愿考研和工作的朋友们都一切顺利！

 

今天去签证了，结果不是很理想，但也还算在意料之中，第一次签证，过程还是挺新鲜的，写出来分享分享，也算是留个纪念，:)

 

昨晚临睡前和小宝合作在网上下了两把四国，惨败!!!心情却立马就好起来了，人家都说A场失意，B场就能得意了，估计今天的签证运气不会太差了，于是乎梦中就开始阿Q了。

 

一早起来，挤上了闷罐车般的地铁，好好的蒸了个"桑拿"。下了地铁，赶到梅陇镇广场已经9点了，赶快到美琪寄了个包，10元。贵就一个字，:(，边上一个号称原签证处工作人员很热心的帮我check了一下我的资料，就说我预约签证时间太早，估计要被check，当时心里有些不服气，这怎么也能成check的理由？事实证明他的判断是正确的，:(

 

回到签证排队点，拿到号进去已经是将近10点钟了，上了8楼后又是排队等交材料，这时就有邮局的mm开始发EMS快递单了，“不是下周一才开始实行签证快递吗？”我很诧异的问？ “是啊，不过这周一就开始试运行了，下周开始强制执行”，mm不慌不忙的说道。“那就是说我可以选择不用EMS直接拿签证了？” 我开心的笑了，还好自己看到过这条消息，否则不是要多交钱了，“今天计算机系统出故障了，所以改为强制执行了”。mm一点都不含糊，将条子递给我后丢下一句话，“如果签出来后带着条子来找我”。FT!抢钱都这么有道理！！！人在屋檐下，不得不低头啊，接过条子，赶紧把材料交了，又排队按了指纹，就开始了签证的等待，大厅里闹哄哄地，也没心情干其它事情，就趁着这当口，好好观察了一下各个VO的情况，今天好像预约的人特别多，5到11号的签证窗口全开了。5,6和8号都是jfmm，7号是yymm，9号小glaceboy，10号大glaceboy，11号就是光头gg了。不知道是不是周末地原因，光头gg今天的兴致好像不高，开窗口的时间很短，据了对探亲签证的夫妇就开始歇着了，间或还找大glaceboy聊聊天。大glaceboy也是11点多以后才开始上班的，其它几位倒是一直在工作，个个表情严肃，看到一个学生模样的mm在6号窗口呆了起码1刻钟，最后抱着一堆资料走了，也不知道签出没有，god bless her。8号jfmm今天好像是杀手，听她寻求保安帮助就至少三次，^_^。有一个四五十岁的中年妇女被据后发彪了，呆在窗口不肯走，很激动，不停地骂VO，几个保安上前阻止也无济于事，hoho，最后连哄带骗的才把她请走，当时就巴望着别碰到8号，被人骂后心情肯定不好，:),触霉头的事情肯定不要做啊。期间自己还不敢忘记多攒攒rp，看到一个老阿婆站着，赶忙给她让座，hoho。

 

10号窗口大glaceboy(简称BGB)处开始闪烁我们这一组按指纹的编号了，我们这组三个人，我排在最后，前两个是一个公司的，都是商务签证，估计一个员工，一个领导。员工先上，一分钟就顺利搞定，心里暗喜，看来BGB蛮水的，接着领导上，BGB试图问他公司的出口产品是美国哪个城市，没想到那位领导居然说我不懂英文，不知道那个城市叫什么名字，我大惊，英文都不懂还去美国，这还不被据啊？那位员工也急了，立马冲上去帮助解释，没想到BGB倒是很nice，劝退员工后，和那位领导又聊了会，也放他过了，这下我心里大喜，看来BGB今天狂水啊。等我的号码一亮，立马带着材料满面笑容迎上去：

Me: Good morning( 其实已经中午12:00了,:) )
BGB: Good morning,smiling
BGB: Is this your I20?
Me: Yeah
BGB: So,what are you going to do in US?
Me: I will go to study for my Ph.D...(interuppted)
BGB: What is your major ?
Me: Electrical Engineer

BGB: ok,So,where will you study in US?
Me: ***
BGB: Why ***?
Me: 这个学校我的研究方向好啊，我的advisor牛啊(interrupted)
BGB: could you show me your resume and some information about your advisor？
这个时候我就感觉要被check了，果然，看了我的简历后，就把我老板的webpage也收走了，然后告诉我被check。前后也就1分多钟的时间，
Me: happy friday,88
BGB:thanks,c u next time

感觉现在申请F1签证的太少，一上来他就有check我的意思，碰巧又在简历上给他发现了敏感词汇，希望一切能顺利吧。

 

离开签证处才发现我心爱的天堂伞不知被谁顺手牵走了，真是ft，就当对某个比我更郁闷的同志表示表示物质补偿吧。
