It has been a long time since i last updated my blog. Yeah,I was quite busy for moving,studies,research and sports. After enjoying 3 years of sociable life in Kyoto International Student House, now I am living in my own apartment,non even knowing who is my neighbour. But yeah,this kind of life comes at the correct timing, as I am fully concentrate on my studies,research and badminton training.Sounds odd isn't it, For a 24 years old guy like me to start badminton training. Sport is always my favorite since elementary school and I involved in representing school or club for track and field, ping pong, volleyball, basketball and soccer but never make it for badminton; as I was disqualifed for the school team selection during elementary three.
After being accepted to study in Japan, I played averagely once per 2 weeks during my japanese language education in Osaka, but almost stopped it during my 1st, 2nd, 3rd year studies in Kyoto University. With the advancement of "Internet", I was able to download some videoclips of the finals of the badminton tournaments. And one day, the fantastic match between Koo/Tan and Fu/Cai lured me into improving my badminton skill. At the same time, I found a badminton club in the Kyoto area which welcome any interested people to join them. Of course, without any hesitation I contacted the representative and joined their training for the very 1st time on December last year. As the only foreigner there, I was warmly "welcomed"(maybe) and advice was given for my play style. How lucky I am.Yoyo.
Let's skip badminton talk and go to my academic part. A "big announcement" is that I have decided to apply for US Graduate School academic year 2009 Fall. Feel surprise? Same for me actually as I just decided it last month. Having own "nest" in Kyoto for almost 3 years, it is quite normal for a mombusho student to stay here until the Graduate school ends. But then, I felt that I have lost my momentum for life, studies, and even motivation to study graduate school. This could be my fault(too lazy?) but after taking the course-All About US Graduate School, I realised that this could be a turning point for my situation now. Althought the process of going there is quite time consuming ; have to prepare for TOEFL,GRE,GRE PHYSICS,3 recommendation letters,etc..(As for Kyoto university, you just need to sit for the entrance examination and attend an interview)..
I take it as a new challenge and also a new momentum to my life. Indeed, What I done in this month is comparable to what I have done for the past year.(Over hardworking?!) This is what I should do start from the beginning! My GPA for the 1st 2 years was sucks due to my attendance and just normal for my majors in 3rd year. So, what else I should do if not having perfect result in my last year this year-4th year? Kinda regret for my laziness...Anyway, forget about the past and look forward!..GO! GO! GO!
P/S: To have enough practice for english essay, I try to make use of this blog. So, If you happened to drop by, please note me for the mistakes. Thanks!

July 2026, finished all the compulsory exams and interviews (maybe) of my undergraduate life. I am racalling my past 3 years: sucks at GPA, a little apathetic about learning and research. They often call 大四 as 研零, and I find it so appropriate: I can already have graduate lessons the next term and get into my research for PhD period. So pick up my New Mood for the New Target! (Still needing more thinking and discussions, though.) (And get a new room at 张江 the next term, maybe?)
(BTW you surely know who I am now, Lmao)
Also BTW, in January 2008 there was the biggest snowfall in recent decades in my hometown (and most part of the southern China). That is the earliest memory I still clearly remember. So, that is a coincidence: you were starting a new period of life, and I was starting my memory.
