A new part-time job start from tomorrow

         I got a new part-time job start from tomorrow,which will make me busy every Sunday. It is great that I work 7 days a week now,lol. I really wanna see what's going on later, because this is a new life style I have never tried before. Evn I took 12 credit hours for master level class and 20 hours working per week when I was in school, there was still weekend and holidays for me. And now, no holiday is applicable, will I survive from this tough situation? I think yes, I will.Hope everything goes well with my new job tomorrow.

Tired but happy

      It is still the holiday today,while many people are taking off from their work and having fun, I am working:) One lady said to me:hey, young man, where is ur life beside working? I laught, yep, this is my life, working, working and again still working. Vivian says, life is tought, but we try to be happy. I am happy with working, the more I work, the more I get paid. So, I can buy my sweet heart a nice trip for our honey moon, so I can get my family a better life tomorrow, so I won't be worried about the retirement when I get old.
     As other young boys(may be I am not young enough to say that), I also like to hung out with friends, parties, enjoy concerts,watching soccerWorld Cup...........but besides those happiness, there is a call. I have to take my responsibility. The responsibility as a son to take care of my parents when they are getting old, the responsibility of being a reliable husband who supports the family and give children good education, the responsibility as a citizen to contribute the society when I am young.
     Working in the States is more stressful than what I did in China. But I can feel that I am more and more confident about the future,because I found that in this nation, if you are willing to work, there is always various  opportunities based on your skills and knowledge. But just don't act like Obama. It is always more important to walk the walk rather than talk the talk.
     Vivian told me a story that 3 month after I performed at a TCC concert, when she was giving a presentation about the international student affairs and activities in a conference hold in Dallas, a staff, I think their dean maybe, still remember me when he saw my photo on the PPT. He told every one who attended the conference: you all should listen to this guy, he is going to be famouse one day.lol. What a story to me.
     Yep, I am ordinary, but I will be extraordinary one day. I believe that!

Bad weather in Houston

     I did not have access to the internet in my home for days because of the bad weather until today. It still raining heavily outside. Can't go any where except sitting at home. But thus, I get more time to play my lovely accordion. I always spell it as accordeon first.......in a french mood.........umm, to me, accordion is more french than other instruments. Got a piece of my practice recorded on my PC. All of them are famouse french musette from my idol Edith Piaf:1.Les feuilles mortes 2.Sous le ciel de Paris 3. La foule.4.La vie en rose. Have no original score, so just played as what I want:)



休斯敦的飓风估计是要来了,天天下大雨,下得我出不了门。不过可以坐在家里拉琴玩。拉了几首偶像人物Edith Piaf的歌:1.秋叶 2.巴黎的天空下 3.花都人潮4.玫瑰人生  没乐谱,就凭感觉瞎拉了。  这两天在和领导商量,明年结婚去巴黎度蜜月。
