After the Christmas break, school has started, and now it has become very busy with essays and exams again. The weather feels like approaching Spring. I can’t wait to see the spring and summer coming.

Despite the heavy-loaded school works, I still manage to squeeze some time to watch some TV programmes and music for relaxation.

Dexter Season 3

Dexter season three was 5 stars, and actually I love it since the season one came out. It is a cohesive drama with complex characters and stories. Each season has its theme about Dexter. First season is to find out who was Dexter, second season is that Dexter found out who is he and season 3 is what he wants to be. There is an exciting news to know that they are producing the season four. I wonder what is the theme in season four about Dexter?

Battlestar Glactica

Then following the remarkable dramma is Battlestar Galactica – the final season. It will be sad to see the end of the 5 years accompany. It has many perspectives to see different layers of people’s personalities, with political bureaucracies, power, moral choices, conflict, emotion, and the hope to survive. It was a fantastic TV series. The stories sometime are complicated, dark, even depress in season three, however it shows people never give up their hopes. And It does portray many aspects of multifaceted human being. This is one of the reason I like this TV drama. “We” are complicated.

Skins 2009

I Watched 2008 Skins last year. At the beginning, I thought it was one of those stereotypes teenage stories. However, it did surprise me that the story uses about 6 characters who is around 15 to 20 years old, describe the complex emotional problems of the modern young generation. It is a period for them to find out who they are and what they want to be. I guess everyone has the same experience when they grow up. They are passionate, energetic, and even troublesome. They sometime make mistakes, but they are still learning and the most important thing is to discover themselves. This is the story of skins. Of course, stories are basic on teenage in the UK, it might be a different culture as we grow up

Music – Lily Allen

New album “It’s not me, it’s you” 4 stars out of 5. There are only few songs I think they are ok, the rest is very nice. Recommended!

The killers – Day & Age

It’s not new anymore, few months old now. The song “human” is controversy about the lyrics, but it is a very nice song and album! Good value!

3g-iphone

John decided to buy the Iphone 3G from O2. He chose 16G instead of the 8G, because it is faster and have more memory. According to the rumors, the Iphone will be released a new version without 3G in China very soon. It will be interesting to see, of course, no one can ignore the big Chinese market nowadays. Some people are also saying that Iphone will have a super version this summer. John can upgrade to the new version, and then the 3G will be mine. Haha…can not wait! After using it, everything is so simple and easy to use. You can use it for google maps, ipod, Internet, messages, camera and everything can be connected with an Apple computer.

I have to say after using an Apple computer, you will become addicted and become an Apple person!

约翰终于在O2买了iphone 3G，内存16G的，他之前问我怎么样？我大力支持他买iphone，除了外形漂亮，实在十分使用，又可以讲电话，听音乐，（看来我们的黑色nano又要卖掉了），又可以上网，3G 定位系统，开车最方便。他还下载了很多使用的软件，比如走到哪里就可以查到最好吃的餐馆，就想带着小型的电脑一样。实在太方便了。对他这种超级喜欢科技的人，iphone最实用不过。听说iphone要在中国推出新的iphone，但没有3G的定位系统，当然不能忽视中国这个大市场拉，人们消费能力这么强！绝对支持！

自从用了苹果机的电脑和ipod之后，太爱苹果的东西了，从设计，功能，和使用性来说，微软远远没有能比苹果的。我们是苹果的超级fans! 听内部消息说，iphone这个夏天6-7月要升级，约翰说一升级，他再买新的，3G的就属于我的。哈哈，快点升级阿。iphone超级好用啊！我开心的又照了几张照片。

It is unusal to have heavy snow in London. Accoring to BBC that it has been 18 years to have heavy snow and it is up to 6in (15cm) of snow. I finally waited for the the real snow.

It is so fun and exciting! What’s important, this is my first time to see the snow. Everything covers by snow. I made some snow man in our garden and the snow has not stopped so far. Because the heavy snow, all the transportation has shut down and classes were off for 2 days, so I organised my classmates to have some snow flight and went to the hill to have some sledging. However, I do feel like I was having a holiday in Norway. What is a wonderful snowing day. Some pictures are here to share to you.

昨天晚上就开始下雪，超级大的雪，因为伦敦在南部，很少有很大的雪，但因为这股俄罗斯和北欧洲的风吹来英国南部，使伦敦下起超级大的雪。据说18年来最大的雪发生在伦敦。开始我还觉得雪应该不是很厚，雪下了一天都没有停过。早上8点醒来，路面和说有的房顶都布满了厚厚的雪。雪大到我觉得像在挪威！刚走出去门外，天啊，5-10寸深。把脚一踏，覆盖了你整个鞋子！我在花园堆砌雪人。应所以的交通工具都停了，地铁，巴士都不能动，学校也关闭了。 我和约翰下午组织同学们一起去打雪球，滑雪。在学校后面有个小山，同学们拿着朔料袋就玩起滑雪。超级搞笑和好玩！这是一部分照片！

I organised our classmates to eat in Cha Cha Moon Chinese restaurant for a quick lunch. Then we walked to Chinatown and Trafalgar Square to see the dragon parade. It was so crowded and eventually we only saw some tiny little dragon. It was a little bit disoppointed but we had a good laugh with friends. Here is some pictures to share.

我组织同学们去吃中国菜和看舞狮表演，连我们的老师也加入我们团队。大家二三群吃完饭之后走去中国城。超级多人，拥挤的不得了！我比较失望舞狮表演，太多人，狮子又超级小！在trafalgar 广场，还有中国表演节目呢。由于天气太冷了，冷到下起雪花， 但大家欢欢喜喜，有说有笑的过了一天。最新照片在这里。
