Although I had been back to China, I will not be free for next 17 days. GRE words are coming abreast. 9 hours a day for 17 days. I believe I can finish the task in time. There should be no excuse for delay. I have to pass it.
US is not my dream, but my future.
My dear friends, I miss you so much. I will meet you guys after the 17 days session.

圣诞节在鬼老心中的地位，也许就像曾经的春节在我们心中一样，让人兴奋。
Brisbane的大街小巷，装满了节日的气氛。虽然笼罩在夏日的骄阳下，这个城市的每一个角落依然被装点的火树银花。Queen street的中央总有几个带着粉红假发的杂技表演者满怀激情的做着高空演出。Myer的橱窗里被各种童话世界装饰着，主角都是澳洲的特色动物，袋鼠，考拉还有我不知道中文名字的大老鼠wombat以及叫emu的大鸟。
商场里，火车站，甚至连饭店里都放了圣诞树，而且到处都挂满了亮闪闪的小球球。
最夸张的是有的汽车里面也缠上了彩带，挂上了圣诞老人。澳洲人对待santa的态度十分虔诚。
昨天，在面店打工的老板请员工吃饭，让我想起了国内每到春节老板都要和手下的民工一起吃饭。
peter是个好老板，对我们像朋友，像大哥，很关心我们。Emma是个好老板娘，我很喜欢和她一边切菜一边拉家常。她说她以前在国内经常骑摩托晚上出去玩，结果就被邻居说三道四。看来中国发展的是够快，她也不过比我大10几岁，而今邻居的闲言碎语已经对我们极其陌生了，大家似乎更倾向于管好自己的生活。
Peter 的儿子总是向我们要手机玩，小孩子喜欢玩手机游戏。Emma为了满足小孩竟然打算买个可以下载游戏的手机，我们问她为啥不直接买个游戏机，她才恍然大悟。可爱的老板娘。
Peter的女儿总喜欢粘着我们玩些莫名其妙的游戏，小美女大概3岁不到的样子，人小鬼大，已经懂得爱美了，喜欢在镜头面前摆个美美的pose照像。总是在店里最忙的时候拉着我喊jiji,陪我玩。我们问她，你叫什么名字啊？她说：“郑佩林”。哥哥叫什么，“郑XX（因为我听不清楚她说的啥）”。那爸爸叫什么名字？“Peter,但是我的妈妈叫Emma". 昏到，难道爸爸姓皮叫特么？
昨天，Peter的手艺我们才真正领教到，以前以为他只会炒面，没有想到他做的所有的菜都比中国人的饭馆里的还好吃，油闷大虾，糖醋排骨，红烧鱼，上海辣豆腐，大家吃的不亦乐乎，本来想赞美他两句，可是有点喝多嘴笨的感觉。再加上实在嘴一直被好吃的占着，心想吃的干净点就是对老板最大的赞美了。
回想起来，这份工作已经做了大半年了，是我在澳洲最重要的生活组成部分之一。在面店打工很开心，大家像一家人一样，这样的工作气氛我会一直珍藏的。就连那洗碗机，菜刀，案板，收银机，煮面锅，还有那个我刚到这peter就说要换却一直没换的拖把，每一个熟悉的工具和角落，已经渐渐舍不得。虽然有点点辛苦但是好开心，好充实。
还有和我一起打工的伙伴们，雨婷，小伟，Chris，阿Ken，Jeff，（以及俺家威）。每个人都心地善良，热情真诚，不知道今后还有没有机会再见，但是我知道我们会彼此挂念。
Wish everyone a lucky future.

Today is memorable. It is not only my master graduation ceremony but also the first graduation I had attended till now.
I can still remember the most disappointed thing was that I was unable to attend my bachelor graduation ceremony in 2005. As was busy with the IT study in Shenzhen University during the graduation days, I had no chance to go back to attend my bachelor graduation ceremony in XJTU. Whenever I saw the pictures of my classmates dressed up for the graduation, my heart was full of jealousy.
But I was so suprised to have got my master degree so fast. Just one year past, I had already in the master's dress to grab that certificate from the chancellor. It was just like dreaming. When I was sitting with the other graduates, my mind was going back to the days I had been puzzled of my future. I even wanted to drop my master degree for the hairdressing tafe. I was trapped for the PR then. Maybe everyone has the same problem as me when he first arrived here. No matter which kind of life we had chose, we all have to be responsible for our choice, and be happy.
At the end of this year, I got my master degree.
At the end of this year, I learnt the meaning of growing up.

Today is a sunny day.
A chirsmas party of Wei's commpany was in Wet Wild world.
 Lots of execting games to play as well as the long queues.
Good foods and snacks!Yammy!
Unlimited drinks and fruits--What a good commpany!
We saw a lot of son of beach as well.
The only thing which is not satisfied is about the toilet.
There were only few toilets there and the smelly dirty environment made them even worse.
Jeff was assigned to be Santa. He looked rather funny in that dress.
What made the party interesting was that there were much more children here than the adults. The boss laughed that this seemed to be a kindergartern rather than a software company's party. The only reason for this is every  Austrlian mother is hero mother.
I ate a vegeterian burger this noon. It was the best burger I had ever had, I should say.
I have to go to IGA for some shopping right now. This has to be the end of this record for today.
