Decided!!!

To compensate this terrible year in terms of not getting any scholarship AT ALL, we've decided to buy a car!

We've decided to live our lives the way that most of the people around us do, saving money, buying car, taking care of our little family(not so little anymore), enjoying what we've already got.

Yet, scholarship is still the never-end target!

What a Year!!!

I remember Chinese New Year. I have rare played cards in my life. For one reason, it’s not my favorite game that’s why I just can spare some time for the game. Undoubtedly, I can play it well. However, earlier this year, Chinese New Year, some friends invited me for lunch at which I was repeatedly invited to join the table, and I did. Surprisingly, I won a lot of money from the game. Really, I was the very first time in my life to win that amount of money from the game that I have no idea about, well, a bit.

Then I thought ‘what a year!’

I thought the year 2009 is my year, through the sign of having won a lot of money from the card. To make use of that good luck (that I believe I have had), I started applying for different scholarships, four of them!!!

Guess what, for the scholarships I applied, Fulbright was the only one I believe I would get, while the others were just kind of lottery—I don’t what to say about that.

Until today, as of mid September, all my hopes and dreams simply faded away. For the whole year, what I have hoped for became nothing, nothing at all.
