yeyj:
I've come.jingyang_nfls:
Sorry, I haven't been there. When will you come again? There has been a change of plan, we are leaving tomorrow morning so even if I chat with you, it won't be long. Why didn't you accept my request to be on your friend list? Donyeyj: I am here.
jingyang_nfls:
Hey. I didn't see you.yeyj: when?
yeyj: It is so hard to chat for even half an hour.
jingyang_nfls:
You appear offline.yeyj: For anyone.
yeyj: Really?
yeyj: now I always ignore the icons.
jingyang_nfls:
This is so messed up. My dad is waiting for a phone call and I am online now.jingyang_nfls:
What time is it over there?yeyj: Sorry, is that soi imporant?
jingyang_nfls:
I don't know how long I can stay here.yeyj: It is a quarter past eight.
yeyj: Ok, I can write you mails.
jingyang_nfls:
Just wondering, Let me get the time thing straight once and for all.yeyj: Can you check it tomorrow morning?
jingyang_nfls:
Use Singpore time next time you write.yeyj: And, are you coming back earlier as well?
jingyang_nfls:
I don't think so.jingyang_nfls:
We can still chat while there's time.yeyj: Ok, its is 4.15 GMT.
jingyang_nfls:
I think so. I hope so.jingyang_nfls:
No GMT!!!!!!!!!yeyj: Why?
jingyang_nfls:
I never ever use it until you mentioned it.yeyj: Using Singapoe or Houghton time is confusing.
yeyj: I listen to BBC, so a having got used to it
jingyang_nfls:
Why? There's a 12 hour difference between singapore and u.s. That's easy enough. Why GMT?jingyang_nfls:
Headache!yeyj: So what shall we articulate everything the next time?
jingyang_nfls:
We have to pack and stuff. I'll try to stay for an hour.yeyj: Do not mention am or pm?
yeyj: Well... I am becoming nervous.
jingyang_nfls:
mention am or pm. No days of the week though. And always Singapore time for you and u.s. for me.yeyj: What is the matter? The messenger has just told me you are online.
jingyang_nfls:
I am in a crisis. That's all.jingyang_nfls:
You are not.yeyj: What do oyu mean?
yeyj: You?
jingyang_nfls:
I thought you came ealier and didn't see me and got off.yeyj: I'll never do that, except when the computer room is closed.
jingyang_nfls:
I am so many things to worry about right now. Thought we are leaving Sunday, but then we'll go there ealier to attend a BBQ.yeyj: I ho[pe things would be better today, there won't be a network error or whatever.
jingyang_nfls:
So you just spend the entire morning in the computer room and go on the internet?yeyj: What BBQ? Part of your camp?
yeyj: I think so.
jingyang_nfls:
Barbeque.yeyj: I know it.
jingyang_nfls:
spelt that one wrong.yeyj: I asked who organised it?
jingyang_nfls:
No. Chinese BBQ party and we'll meet people we know.yeyj: Does your computer go offline every hour now?
jingyang_nfls:
A person that my dad is aquiented with.jingyang_nfls:
Yes. and it will continue to do so.jingyang_nfls:
But it's easier to log on now.jingyang_nfls:
Are you feeling better these days.yeyj: That would be nice. My class also hold a BBQ in the holiday, but I was too lazy to go for it.
jingyang_nfls:
?yeyj: ??
jingyang_nfls:
Jeez. Now I can breathe.jingyang_nfls:
??yeyj: I feel much better, afer writing four letters in two days.
jingyang_nfls:
What's that? Chinese characters?jingyang_nfls:
To whom? parents?jingyang_nfls:
or relatives?yeyj: I maybe common to you, I don't know, but composing normal letter is much more painful than emails.
yeyj: Yes, I think you are right.
yeyj: NFLS friends rarely write me these days.
jingyang_nfls:
Same here. That's why I don't write letter to many people, esp. writing in Chinese.jingyang_nfls:
Not me at all.yeyj: So strage.
jingyang_nfls:
That's why I wonder if they got my emails or not.yeyj: Do you ever write a non-electric mail?
jingyang_nfls:
They are doing their own stuff. At least you get to visit them..very soon.jingyang_nfls:
the first year when I came here.yeyj: You still remember I write you and tell you about Yu's email address?
yeyj: That's so nice to connect people together.
jingyang_nfls:
Send mail to one of my elementary good friend a month ago.yeyj: I never do that, apart from my cousin.
jingyang_nfls:
yes. It took me a while to finally get in touch with him.yeyj: What are we trying to prate today? Just keep that on?
jingyang_nfls:
Wish I have to phone lines so I can go online and still get phone calls. Oh, well.jingyang_nfls:
I don't like to write my cousins.yeyj: That's not bad. getting ready to stop chattinng after this time.
jingyang_nfls:
Told you that I chatted with a cousin once, but it was so boring.yeyj: No reason, I find it really tough.
jingyang_nfls:
Well, who can help it.No class conference yet.jingyang_nfls:
When I get back from my vacation, I'll be extremely busy.yeyj: Well, there is now such service that you can go online while using the telehone at the same time, right?
yeyj: The driving taining?
yeyj: Or even more courses?
jingyang_nfls:
Didn't even get past the first chapter in Spanish yet. And I NEED to improve my vocab for the SATs.yeyj: You confirm you won't check your mail during the trip?
jingyang_nfls:
Never tried it. Our phone line is controlled by the school.jingyang_nfls:
I wouldn't be able to do so.yeyj: That's a problem. I also have to do that, but think nothing about it now.
jingyang_nfls:
But it would be so cool when I get back and I get 20 emails from you.jingyang_nfls:
kidding.yeyj: I'll become more mature the next year, I think.
jingyang_nfls:
where did you come up with that idea?yeyj: I will only write you one, hopefully, a long one.
jingyang_nfls:
i mean certain you will, but out of nowhere?yeyj: Nothing, just now have nothing to tye.
yeyj: TYPE.
jingyang_nfls:
good enough.yeyj: Have heard of the little dog Chihuahua?
jingyang_nfls:
OH. I am listening to more pop music now, keep me awake.jingyang_nfls:
What??yeyj: Yesterday we played Pyramid game, and the words seemed to be so strange.
jingyang_nfls:
Never heard of that game. You do cross-word puzzle?yeyj: I've just downloaded the music of Final Fatasy, after Yin JIe's recommendation.
jingyang_nfls:
I listened to my own voice recording, and it's so senile.yeyj: Tick-tack-toe? Oh, no. I rarely see people playing cross-ord.
jingyang_nfls:
I never played that game, but heard enough about it that I want to try.yeyj: You are teasing.
jingyang_nfls:
no. It's different, I mean.yeyj: The recording can never be verbadim.
yeyj: That doesn't seem to be a right word.
jingyang_nfls:
I sound like I am 20. So sad.yeyj: That is your true prime. Work harder!
jingyang_nfls:
so did your voice lost its true sound through the telephone?yeyj: This time the chatting is different, we also not talking about any serious things, surprisingly.
jingyang_nfls:
No. teens are prime times, 20 is too old.yeyj: I hope so.
jingyang_nfls:
Haven't got the heart to do so.yeyj: Why did it appear werid to you?
jingyang_nfls:
I am so completely indifferent, as I told you.jingyang_nfls:
I don't know why. Bored.yeyj: What are you talking about? I mean, children is better than teenagers according ewhat you said before.
jingyang_nfls:
Want to get together and attend picnics, like we used to do during the summer that I left.yeyj: The chatting is not so interesting as before.
yeyj: Id est, where are the others??
jingyang_nfls:
But for studying, I am trying to absord as much knowledge as I can right now.yeyj: Sad, sad, the sky is sober.
jingyang_nfls:
I don't think we are in the mood, at least not me.yeyj: You are great, I am moe or less "bu si shang jin".
jingyang_nfls:
I am so tired, so very tired.yeyj: You can read Chinese, right?
yeyj: Why?
jingyang_nfls:
yes. Type Chinese.jingyang_nfls:
I didn't figure the last line you just typed.yeyj: I don't feel like mentioning old things here. The life is too exhausting to be true.
yeyj: Holidays are elapsing...
jingyang_nfls:
No idea. Trying to study hard but couldn't bring myself up to it.jingyang_nfls:
I don't really care. There's no difference until I can find a purpose for life.jingyang_nfls:
Watch out, I am going deeper.jingyang_nfls:
What do you think you are living for?yeyj: Typing chinese.
jingyang_nfls:
for fame, for happiness, for money, for love of all kinds?yeyj: The system wenthalf cary then.
yeyj: CRAZY.
yeyj: I give up.
jingyang_nfls:
Calm down. Use English then.yeyj: To fill my mind with something, I told you about it in the "beacon light" piece.
yeyj: But it is still that blurring.
yeyj: Nothing is wrong, I hope.
jingyang_nfls:
yes. But what can we achieve in our life time, since human being know nothing about themselves.yeyj: We are humans.
yeyj: So what to do? Things cannot change much in the recent decades.
jingyang_nfls:
I want to be great at everything, but fame fades after death and every material or spirtual things go away.yeyj: Let's bring a quantom leap to the world of science!
jingyang_nfls:
I want to see flying cars!!yeyj: Teasing unceasingly.
yeyj: I want to see you flying.
jingyang_nfls:
kidding. That's a great ambition, how? Nobel prize?yeyj: Yes, I think. But which subject are you choosing? Mechanism?
jingyang_nfls:
wish I could do so. So I would fly directly back to China.yeyj: No need, later the world will be linked with black holes.
jingyang_nfls:
No. I am going to computers, Biology or MBA.yeyj: that is quite far-fetching.
yeyj: Why not DBA?
jingyang_nfls:
or worm holes. Did a project on that.yeyj: Docter instead of master?
yeyj: What is worm hole? Physics or Biology?
jingyang_nfls:
Don't want to read book until I am 26. Work for a while and enjoy life.yeyj: Read book?
jingyang_nfls:
physics. two black holes linked together.jingyang_nfls:
You go to a parallel unverise on the forth dimension.jingyang_nfls:
you mean now?yeyj: One person would learn necro-- if he is afraid off the pining away of a body.
jingyang_nfls:
or later?yeyj: I've no idea. Too deep.
jingyang_nfls:
what? I don't get it.yeyj: That I don't know what to reply.
jingyang_nfls:
And you, career direction?yeyj: Not yet.
yeyj: I cannot even range it.
jingyang_nfls:
come on.yeyj: That is worse than you.
jingyang_nfls:
Well, you like literature better than science.yeyj: What can I show? Having talking about this since primary school, I hae decided one yet.
yeyj: Really? I hate writing actually.
jingyang_nfls:
I sort of wanna be a phtographer and travel amongst the mountains and waterheads.yeyj: I would have worked on Science well if staying i China.
jingyang_nfls:
What do you like then? All is so confusing.yeyj: But now things are different.
yeyj: I like nature, as you can see, but it cannot be a occupation.
jingyang_nfls:
Oh. How different is it? I mean you changed a lot.yeyj: You won't be a climer, right? At least in ten years' time.
jingyang_nfls:
Well, my dream job is sort of linked to nature.yeyj: Everyone say so, to any others.
jingyang_nfls:
Biologist?yeyj: What the old me to you?
yeyj: Who? I don't want to analyse myself.
jingyang_nfls:
the old you in my mind will always be a boy.yeyj: I mean, how was the impression I left you before?
jingyang_nfls:
I don't know what you are now.yeyj: I am still a boy.
yeyj: I don't want to be an adult, nor a child.
yeyj: Teenagers is the best to me.
yeyj: If tbere is nothing such as exams.
jingyang_nfls:
Well, you should get what I mean. Boy as with some degree of playfulness.yeyj: Oh, typing errors all over.
jingyang_nfls:
with some degree of innocence and sillyness.yeyj: Really? Playing trick, you mean? Or something in that aspect?
jingyang_nfls:
Every one will accept you for what you are because you are still a child.yeyj: aren't girls even more outstanding in that aspect?
yeyj: You? Who?
jingyang_nfls:
Well, carefree laughter. Willing to try everything.jingyang_nfls:
Everyone.yeyj: I am trying evreything to find back my affections.No, almost failed.
jingyang_nfls:
Be proud of yourself. no expectations...yeyj: My parents!! Why do they do that?
yeyj: I am in my dudgeon.
jingyang_nfls:
Do what? Can you tell me?yeyj: Ok, having calmed down already.
yeyj: I tod you before that that was some brush in my family.
jingyang_nfls:
That's all right. My parents always compare me to classmates and cousins that are still in China.yeyj: Something related to the old house of ours.
jingyang_nfls:
Which drives me mad.yeyj: Mine don't do that.
jingyang_nfls:
I mean I cannot help it, whose fault is it.yeyj: They don't seem to blame me now, before the incident.
jingyang_nfls:
They think I am going backwards, that I am getting worse.yeyj: In which I appealed them to get on well with my aunts, uncles, etc.
yeyj: i am also regressing.
jingyang_nfls:
You are still away from your home, which as advangages and disadvantages.yeyj: No one knows it, even myself is not clear about it.
jingyang_nfls:
Who knows.yeyj: Is there equilibrium?
jingyang_nfls:
You said that after three years living in Houghton, it would be my "hometown". No way.jingyang_nfls:
After living three years in Singapore, would you call it your "hometown"?yeyj: To stay away from parents and family is very strange. I am becoming queer as well.
yeyj: No, my home will never be here.
yeyj: However, the passion of mine towards Nanjing is not as strong as efore.
yeyj: Not the people there.
jingyang_nfls:
Nor me. I cannot imagine living the rest of my life here.yeyj: Where are you going? A big city in the States?
jingyang_nfls:
Not me either. But I missed the place I grew up and the city itself.yeyj: Our future is so uncertain.
jingyang_nfls:
Probably. If I can get the scholarship to go to a private unversity.yeyj: What about Dong Tai, wu Hai and si on?
jingyang_nfls:
No. They are not so important to me at all. Nanjing is my place.jingyang_nfls:
my home.yeyj: What shall I do then? It is certainly ideal to stay in sigapore for the rest of the life for some people, while I am not sure about anything.
jingyang_nfls:
I mean I cannot speak in Nanjing accent, but the city made up who I am.yeyj: Is your former home sold?
jingyang_nfls:
Missed the two hours of riding on the bus to NFLS everyday.yeyj: Then do you nave any nests in that city besides that?
jingyang_nfls:
No. Still there. Nobody living in it.jingyang_nfls:
and bunch of my books and stuff in there.jingyang_nfls:
that I couldn't bring over here.yeyj: so do I. I am afraid I cannot cycle now.
jingyang_nfls:
Sold two of my accordians.yeyj: What books have you brought to Houghton?
jingyang_nfls:
Cycle?jingyang_nfls:
The dream of the red chamber and other chinese classics.jingyang_nfls:
and some sci-fi books.yeyj: Some students brought here the whole set of textbooks in China.
yeyj: Red Chamber?
jingyang_nfls:
left all my Teen magazine behind.jingyang_nfls:
Oh, that, i brought the middle school ones.jingyang_nfls:
Hong lou mong.yeyj: Do you still remember the moment when we rced down the slope to jiafei's home after climbing the mountain? Or hill.
jingyang_nfls:
forgive my spelling.yeyj: I an understand it. Sorry to tell you that Ye Qian loves that novel as well.
jingyang_nfls:
yes. That was so fun, and suyuan sat on my bike, and she screamed.yeyj: But so does Yu Kun and me.
jingyang_nfls:
Come on, don't compare me with her.yeyj: I couldn't remember that.
jingyang_nfls:
That's good.yeyj: What is the date? That special day?
jingyang_nfls:
Well, she was with me and all.jingyang_nfls:
Pity, cannot remember.yeyj: Then why aren't you good friends then?
jingyang_nfls:
I don't even know when I got out of school that year.jingyang_nfls:
we are just different.jingyang_nfls:
It's hard to explain. Do you know why me and Jiafei and Ding Ling are good friends?yeyj: I remembered you wrote to the two cats, Jingjing&Hongjin, Ding Ling and Jiafei in the first round.
yeyj: Can you understand me?
jingyang_nfls:
no.jingyang_nfls:
yes.yeyj: I think the date is 28th, June. I missed a boxing on that day, the "bite of the century" between tyson and Holifield.
jingyang_nfls:
I found Jingjing is quite a great person, but I got to know her too late.yeyj: Please label your answer.
yeyj: Really?
jingyang_nfls:
ha. I am sorry for you. But the trip is much better than the boxing, right?yeyj: We got on well for two years and a half, peacefully and quitely. Thanks to the god.
jingyang_nfls:
Yeah, didn't get many chance to talk heart to heart with her.yeyj: I didn't say I wanna watch the boxing, that is the date, I mean. we can check it out.
jingyang_nfls:
I got Sha Kang Le.jingyang_nfls:
I was just joking.yeyj: Heart to heart? Maybe only between girl and girl.
yeyj: Got?
jingyang_nfls:
i mean he is my desk-mate.yeyj: If two boys are too close, they will be called gay or something similar.
yeyj: You are my partner when cleaning the "bao gan qu".
jingyang_nfls:
so are two girls, lesbian. It's so strong over here.jingyang_nfls:
Friends don't hold hands and stuff.jingyang_nfls:
really? Oh yeah.yeyj: I cannot translate that to English, there is no such things in my school. The campus is too big.
yeyj: I understand.
yeyj: What does friend mean?
jingyang_nfls:
It's just American culture, so i guess there are not much soul-friends over here.yeyj: I don't get it.
jingyang_nfls:
Like two people can talk to each other and help each other and share life.yeyj: What is soul?
yeyj: What is share life? Like husband and wife?
jingyang_nfls:
I don't believe in that. But I meant very close friends, like they are meant to be.yeyj: I simply know nothing about it.
jingyang_nfls:
you are joking. Like relate experiences.yeyj: That is crony. I don't want to be like that.
jingyang_nfls:
What are you talking about?yeyj: Oh, I've learnt something. I am an idiot when talking about such things.
yeyj: Change the subject.
yeyj: i cannot remember when I said i liked re.
yeyj: It is ok, as you like.
jingyang_nfls:
You are still offline. Are you there?yeyj: Of course I am.
jingyang_nfls:
offline?yeyj: Wondering whether there is network error again.
jingyang_nfls:
Thought you left.yeyj: I ma never offline, I guess.
jingyang_nfls:
gotten used to it?yeyj: i won't, unless you are.
jingyang_nfls:
or probably, not.yeyj: ladies fist again.
yeyj: But I don't expect you to come earlier.
jingyang_nfls:
thanks. You are such a gentleman.jingyang_nfls:
kidding.yeyj: It is already nice enough.
jingyang_nfls:
Earlier? Have any plans for the day?yeyj: Don't make fun. It is quite a sad moment.
yeyj: No.
yeyj: You would leave soon, right?
jingyang_nfls:
This chatting probably bored you to death already.jingyang_nfls:
yeah. Have to.yeyj: And I will contact you again at least four days later.
jingyang_nfls:
In a few minutes.jingyang_nfls:
WE are still chat until 20.yeyj: No, I would like to stay like this for a whole day.
yeyj: I like this style.
yeyj: I am such person, you would know.
jingyang_nfls:
what style is it? Casual talking?yeyj: Lolling all the way.
jingyang_nfls:
or wondering around doing nothing?yeyj: But never become fatter.
yeyj: it is another problem.
jingyang_nfls:
Am I always busy doing something?yeyj: I don't know, I'll never know.
jingyang_nfls:
oh. How tall are you right now?jingyang_nfls:
Do I sound like I do?yeyj: 175 last year, now hasn't changed much.
yeyj: I suppos.
jingyang_nfls:
Sometimes I think I do.yeyj: Oh, dear.
jingyang_nfls:
I am a shortee.yeyj: Not known.
yeyj: Vague, I like it.
jingyang_nfls:
oh, dear? What happened?jingyang_nfls:
miscommunciation.yeyj: But when the other enquiring me about everything, I...
yeyj: What?
jingyang_nfls:
I am not getting the hang of things.yeyj: It is terminating, I shall make it slunt enough.
yeyj: Not to hurt myself.
jingyang_nfls:
What is it like when you chat with other people?yeyj: The nud of it is, I am missing something.
jingyang_nfls:
You are getting too deep for me.jingyang_nfls:
I am missing a lot.yeyj: Well, Yu and Jie are always busy reading my stuff, so it is not really a chatting. Yo quiero do thius with you.
jingyang_nfls:
Now it's my turn to act like an idiot.yeyj: Oh, I accept it.
jingyang_nfls:
Yo se.yeyj: A nice conclusion, I hope.
jingyang_nfls:
Catching up on Spanish?jingyang_nfls:

Where did you learn that?yeyj: Don't playing with my nerves, I only know that much, ya see?
yeyj: On the newspaper.
jingyang_nfls:
I'll try to stay until 30. no guarenntee.yeyj: Nothing more, but enough to stir my feelings.
jingyang_nfls:
Oh, ok.yeyj: Later you are continuing to 40, 50, until centinarian.
yeyj: Or see the next millennium.
yeyj: Absolutely we are.
jingyang_nfls:
I have to go now. Told you no gurantee. Mom's forcing me to get off so other people can call.jingyang_nfls:
Sorry, your hope's going.yeyj: The milleu has been nice, I enjoyed it.
jingyang_nfls:
So, see you until whenever.yeyj: About about you?
yeyj: Fine, see you then.
jingyang_nfls:

jingyang_nfls:
Well, I'll try to enjoy myself during the trip. Hope you'll as happy as I am.yeyj: A story going forevermore.
jingyang_nfls:
I am not sure how happy I am, but all well.yeyj: we are composing.
yeyj: Otherwise, must be versing.
yeyj: Wish ourthings would be so.
jingyang_nfls:
See you. This is the last goodbye. No further delaying BYE!yeyj: Bye.
