yeyj: when you would come...

jingyang_nfls: I am here!!

yeyj: I see.

jingyang_nfls: I'll always be here between 9:30 and 10:30.

jingyang_nfls: A little late today because I just went on a walk with my parents after supper.

yeyj: That's strange. You are still offline according to my friends list.

jingyang_nfls: You are always online according to my list, even when you are not.

yeyj: Perambulating? So long?

jingyang_nfls: I need to complain here.

yeyj: Ah, here it comes. I actually don't close the messenger after the chat until you have left. Thus...

jingyang_nfls: You wrote my birthplace and birthday totally wrong.

yeyj: Of course, but that's a standard one.

yeyj: Your birthplace is: Dong Tai or what?

jingyang_nfls: I am not even 16 yet!!!! I am not that old! and I was not born in Wuhan.

jingyang_nfls: What were you thinking!!!

jingyang_nfls: Sure. You don't know that place, right?

yeyj: Let's move on. I guess that surroundings of the living estate around your house must be very... (a positive adj.).

jingyang_nfls: I still don't understand why do I need a Yahoo email account. Though my login name is a bit longer, but my password is very easy to remember.

yeyj: Explain it.

yeyj: You can change one.

jingyang_nfls: It doesn't take any shorter time to login in using the name you signed up for me.

yeyj: Is Dong Tai in Jiang Su?

jingyang_nfls: So why? No one is going to email me using a yahoo account.

jingyang_nfls: Yes.

yeyj: How come? You name always seems to be Jingyang Xue.

jingyang_nfls: except for you, maybe.

yeyj: You just don't bother to check it.

jingyang_nfls: Yes, my name is Jingyang Xue and now my yahoo passport is jingyang_nfls and my password is my locker combination.

jingyang_nfls: Ok. Guess we'll drop the subject now.

yeyj: Ok, I've told you to forget about it, right?

jingyang_nfls: Are you going back in China during October?

yeyj: Tell me what kinda appartment you are living in now.

yeyj: Not yet until mid-November.

jingyang_nfls: a two bedroom apartment. Big enough for a family of three.

jingyang_nfls: You've never been to my house in Nanjing, but this apartment is smaller than that.

yeyj: Yin Jie told me they have been a bit relaxed although many exams are coming. He, Ding Ling and Shen Hongying, all play computer games like ff8.

jingyang_nfls: Mostly graduate or undergraduate live here. It's called Daniel Heights, right by a cemetory

jingyang_nfls: Ding Ling has a computer at home and an email address?

yeyj: I mean, how high it is, what's the whole block like.

jingyang_nfls: Wang said if she does, she'll email me, but she never did. Did you get anything from here?

jingyang_nfls: Two stories.

yeyj: I don't know, maybe I can ask Jie about later.

yeyj: About what you enquired about.

jingyang_nfls: The top one is smaller. We are living in the bottom one.

jingyang_nfls: If my dad finds a job, we'll buy our own house.

yeyj: Who is Wang (she)?

yeyj: Very soon, right?

jingyang_nfls: Yu. stupid. Kidding.

jingyang_nfls: I don't know. Hopefully this summer. It's not final yet. We've been waiting for 3 months now.

jingyang_nfls: He went to an interview but didn't get the final offer yet.

yeyj: Don't forget to inform me the new address. You know Yu has moved also?

yeyj: I don't mind.

jingyang_nfls: No. Not at all. And I didn't know where he used to live, either.

jingyang_nfls: Only have been to Jiafei and Ding Ling's house.

yeyj: On, dear. That's a big problem. Sometimes I can't find what we are referring to during the chat.

jingyang_nfls: I'll tell you the new address and phone number. It's likely to be in Detriot.

jingyang_nfls: What do you mean?

yeyj: I have moved as well (not worth mentioning), but I haven't stayed in the new house for even one day.

jingyang_nfls: Certainly I would not be talking about my classmates here because there are not many Chinese at all.

yeyj: Then where would you study in?

jingyang_nfls: Poor you.

yeyj: Did I ask you to do that?

jingyang_nfls: I don't know yet.

jingyang_nfls: do what?

yeyj: No, sorry to offend you.

yeyj: What did I mean by the last sentence?

jingyang_nfls: I have to take a lot of college classes in my senior year, so I have to choose a high school near a college.

yeyj: Just wonder how different it will be after you've moved again.

jingyang_nfls: But those high schools are not as good as some other high schools.

jingyang_nfls: That's all right. You didn't offend me, I don't really mind the fact.

yeyj: Those? In Houghton? Then the nearnest "good" college is in Detroit?

yeyj: The reaction online is never in alacrity.

jingyang_nfls: Wait. you had a new address at the end of you second year in middle school, you should have moved in at least for a while.

yeyj: You will become a Grade 11 student, won't you?

jingyang_nfls: No. The university of michigan is dear detriot.

jingyang_nfls: Yes.

jingyang_nfls: It's the second best public college in the U.S.

yeyj: You've got a good memory, who told you about it? Oh, myself. Well, did you ever write there?

jingyang_nfls: But there's a high school called troy high school, which is not near the college. You can only take college classes if you live near a college.

jingyang_nfls: near detriot, sorry.

yeyj: That's the so-called 1y?é·?, not a new one but in rent.

yeyj: The old one was demolished!

jingyang_nfls: No. I am a major lazy person, when it comes to writing letters. I didn't write you very much at all back then.

jingyang_nfls: Oh... you liked your old house, I guess.

jingyang_nfls: How does your grandma feel about this?

yeyj: I can't remember how we were getting on during that time.

jingyang_nfls: I was busy trying to fit in here, and I wrote you two letters, I think. You replyed twice. Then you went to singapore.

jingyang_nfls: the second one is in English, bad English, I think. Do laugh at me if you happen to read it again.

jingyang_nfls: Do not.

yeyj: It is thoroughly a very sad thing. To tell you the truth, I feel more sorrowful than her as she hasn't been living with me since then because of some internal problems that I am not clear about, either.

jingyang_nfls: I am sorry about that.

jingyang_nfls: I remember we had to do "my family" oral presentation for english and you had to talk about your grandma and all.

yeyj: I wouldn't understand it then-- I mean, too many new words. But the feeling is clear, right? And you managed to help me as well. Then you sent me a letter in Chinese, very lovely script, esp. the photo you took.

jingyang_nfls: I didn't sent you my photo with a letter, right?

jingyang_nfls: How come I didn't know about this at all?

yeyj: How can you recall them all? I've forgotten most of it. But your words are really reminiscent... (er, not fit in well).

jingyang_nfls: I've always got a bad handwriting.

yeyj: Yes. the one you took at an Indian reserve.

jingyang_nfls: I have a bad memory, cannot recall anything that happen before I was 10 or something. But I remember the NFLS times.

yeyj: Really? The two cards you gave me was really nice.

yeyj: Oh, that is not surprising except for me.

jingyang_nfls: Yours are nice, too. Thanks. And the notebook. Didn't know you could write poetry.

jingyang_nfls: I don't recall that at all! my gosh!

yeyj: Can you remember how you felt while reading my first letter to you? I don't think the handwriting there is good, either.

yeyj: Can that be considered as one? Just stop warming each other!

yeyj: You

jingyang_nfls: Happy to receive a letter from you. A little surprised because you replied almost immediately. Certain cheered me up a little.

yeyj: You'd better check. I hope it wasn't a fake.

yeyj: Then...?

jingyang_nfls: it wasn't a fake? what wasn't a fake?

yeyj: Yours also satisfied me.

yeyj: The letter which you cannot remember.

jingyang_nfls: I don't know. I was in a bad position in school back then.

jingyang_nfls: Had to read aloud in English the first week I came here. Was a total disaster.

yeyj: Sorry to hear that... But aren't you getting more and more confident throughout these years?

jingyang_nfls: Don't know if you ever felf the same.

yeyj: You've told me about it, but I would like to hear it again.

jingyang_nfls: Yes. No problem now. I've regained my confidence and am getting better everyday, I hope.

jingyang_nfls: Hear about what? be more specific.

yeyj: The situation may be better as we PRC were tutored together more three months before the school year started, and I was not so bad among them.

yeyj: Nothing, say what you wanna.

jingyang_nfls: I was take a sort of private english lesson with another teacher at the time.

jingyang_nfls: Many Chinese students dropped a grade when they came, esp. the older ones.

yeyj: It is a wonder for you to accustom yourself to the new environment so promptly.

yeyj: Keep it on!!!!

yeyj: I was encouraging myself as well.

jingyang_nfls: I didn't want to and stayed where I am. Had to learn how to swim in free style and to dive.

yeyj: What are you preparing for at present, still the Spanish stuff?

jingyang_nfls: And Earth Science teacher gave me a real had time. I probably cried that day when I came back from school.

jingyang_nfls: ard time.

jingyang_nfls: I have lots of stuff on my shedule.

jingyang_nfls: schedule.

jingyang_nfls: Learn how to play tennis, piano..

jingyang_nfls: More vocabulary, computer class, reading classic novel.

jingyang_nfls: and many more.

yeyj: That sounds interesting. How vast is Lake Superior? Cannot imagine the future Three Gorges Reservoir is just as long as it.

jingyang_nfls: Since My friends has gone away and I could waste all these time away.

yeyj: What do you mean by your last sentence?

jingyang_nfls: I cannot tell. I did stand by the Lake Superior and wished somehow I can see Canada, and hopefully Jiafei... It's just daydream.

yeyj: Probably that's what I'm entangled in now.

jingyang_nfls: my american friends all went on their own vacations to Greece or Boston or whatever. I had to stay in Houghton.

yeyj: And you will dream that night as well.

yeyj: Hopefully...

jingyang_nfls: Nah. I cannot see any land on the other side of the lake because the earth is round...

yeyj: Always telling myself that have to put myself on my mettle, but have never done so.

jingyang_nfls: there goes the scientific reasoning, I am sure you know it, so I'll skip that part.

yeyj: What would happen if you can fly...

yeyj: Then we are really daydreaming.

jingyang_nfls: I am trying to this summer, trying really hard. Don't know if I'll keep it up.

yeyj: See to it.

jingyang_nfls: I constantly have to tell myself that I have to keep going, keep working. That kinda control my random thoughts a little bit.'

yeyj: The sea around Singapore is much too small. I can find land in any direction.

jingyang_nfls: But I still like to daydream a lot when I have time.

yeyj: That's the ideal level already.

jingyang_nfls: i've never been to the sea. You sure feel lucky.

yeyj: Not now.

yeyj: (I have nothing to say, just wait a bit)

yeyj: What about you?

jingyang_nfls: I kinda wanna go visit Singapore sometime, in fact, I wanna travel around the world in my 20s

yeyj: Not dreaming, correct?

jingyang_nfls: If I have the time and money, I'll try to achieve the dream.

yeyj: How nice it will be if cretain things are possible at the monemt.

jingyang_nfls: Did your parents ever think about come to Singapore and visit you?

yeyj: MOMENT.

jingyang_nfls: If possible.

jingyang_nfls: If my dad were still in Hongkong, I could go to Singapore and Tailand and Macao.

jingyang_nfls: But he's not.

yeyj: Surely they did, but the expense is quite a big amount of... they 'll have to do their duty as well. China doesn't appear very fit to me.

jingyang_nfls: Do they call you? your parents or NFLS classmates?

yeyj: Never heard about it.

yeyj: My parents call me weekly.

jingyang_nfls: Where do you wanna go to college to? which country for now.

jingyang_nfls: WOW!! and classmates?

jingyang_nfls: I called jiafei twice when she was still in Nanjing.

yeyj: Others, no classmates as I never told them about it. The fee is high: used to be ￡¤18 per min, now at least ￡¤7.

yeyj: It was known by everyone in Class One.

jingyang_nfls: The process is complicated, too.

jingyang_nfls: your phone number?

jingyang_nfls: or the fee?

yeyj: What?

jingyang_nfls: what what?

yeyj: There are some problems in our language.

jingyang_nfls: What is know by everyone in Class One?

yeyj: Your phone call, despite the unknown facts.

jingyang_nfls: I was saying the calling process is complicated.

yeyj: Sheer nonsense emitted by me.

jingyang_nfls: She told all you guys?

yeyj: Correct. What about to China? Any easier?

jingyang_nfls: Ha. Pity I cannot go back and visit.

yeyj: Just ìyμ?·?éù.

jingyang_nfls: I think so. At least I don't have to talk to the office lady and all that.

yeyj: Heard it twice.

jingyang_nfls: What?

yeyj: So I've told you to arrange to call in advance.

yeyj: The call, I couldn't tell.

jingyang_nfls: Oh well. I did try to surprise you.

jingyang_nfls: Thought it would be cool to do so.'

yeyj: Thanks a lot, just like I was to you.

jingyang_nfls: I was surprised. Thought it was one of my dad's friends or something.

yeyj: Truly it has been. I felt quite cool after you told me about the phone failure.

yeyj: I can be his friend, right?

yeyj: Ignore the last sentence.

yeyj: The internet seems to be so unreliable now, for I know you may leave at any time.

yeyj: Where have you been?

jingyang_nfls: Did you see my last message?

yeyj: The dad's or something?

jingyang_nfls: My internet disconnects every one hour.

jingyang_nfls: by itself.

yeyj: So cool. I shuddered.

jingyang_nfls: It happens frequently, so don't worry about it.

jingyang_nfls: Besides, I have to get off in 20 minutes.

yeyj: How long would it last for, the disconnection?

jingyang_nfls: Parents went shopping. So I want to stay online a bit longer than usual.

yeyj: That's plenty of time.

jingyang_nfls: I reconnect immediately after.

jingyang_nfls: If lucky, it takes 30 sec.

yeyj: Do you still want to keep your schedule on? Of course, I prefer to stay like this.

jingyang_nfls: Do you have a TV in your dorm?

jingyang_nfls: Nay. I have to read novel next. Don't feel like it.

jingyang_nfls: But if my parents are back, I'll have to go.

yeyj: But you were still a smiling face on my list during that time. Maybe what you said at the beginnig is correct.

jingyang_nfls: When do you get up?

yeyj: Some people have, but that is illegal in the hostel.

jingyang_nfls: I get up at 11:00 and sleeps at 1:00

yeyj: 7am

jingyang_nfls: Do you don't watch TV at all?

yeyj: These days or throughout the year?

jingyang_nfls: only summer.

yeyj: No need to answer that silly question.

jingyang_nfls: Have to go to school those other days.

jingyang_nfls: I am a night-owl.

jingyang_nfls: Stayed up all night twice to play volleyball during a sleep-over.

yeyj: Sometimes in the activity room, but quite few. These days things are fairly abnormal because of the euro2000.

jingyang_nfls: Pity. There are some TV shows that I have to watch everyweek.

yeyj: Your night activities sound s pretty fun. Walk, shopping, sports... What is the matter?

yeyj: No in Singapore.

jingyang_nfls: But when I have a test the next day, I videotape it.

yeyj: What about X-files?

jingyang_nfls: That's me.

jingyang_nfls: Watch it three time. Didn't like lt. Too fake. You like it?

yeyj: Yesterday I watched Detective Conan the catoon for more than six hours.

jingyang_nfls: never heard of it. And you can watch a catoon show for six hours?

yeyj: Have no idea, at least the two novels I read were interesting.

jingyang_nfls: I don't have the patiends.

yeyj: More than ten PRC students around two computers.

jingyang_nfls: what two novels?

yeyj: About the X-files. Just for fun.

jingyang_nfls: Do you get a lot of English classic novels in your library?

jingyang_nfls: patient.

jingyang_nfls: I type to fast sometimes.

jingyang_nfls: patience. Shoot.

yeyj: Sure, but I sometimes choose them only. Still as lazy as before.

yeyj: What are you talking about?

jingyang_nfls: What are you talking about? choosing what.

yeyj: I was trying to say something about our last phone call.

jingyang_nfls: I was correcting the words that I spelt wrong.

yeyj: Your English, mine, don't kow what to comment on.

jingyang_nfls: What?????? I am not following you.

jingyang_nfls: My parents are here.

jingyang_nfls: Have to go. Bye. See you tomorrow.

yeyj: The junior students in NFLS are learning American English, you know?

yeyj: Shit, too fast.

yeyj: Your hotmail!!!!
