Wish You Were Here

Even if you are a man, it may make you in tears when you listen to Wish You Were Here alone in deep night. For the first time I felt alone in this strange place. I miss badly family, friends and an uncertain "she". I followed Pink Floyd and sang "wish you were here" again and again.
Wish you were here Lyrics
Pink Floyd

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
Have we found
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.
And do you know I was singing to you? I guess we are two souls hoping to approach each other, at least I hope so. But I don't know you enough. You made me sometimes happy and some times nervous. I want to take care of you with my whole heart, but real life is full of cheating and betray. How I wish you could show a signal to get me out of all worries; however you face the "same old fears".

Mom, you know I was also singing to you. You made me assured. You loved me without reservation. It is some kind of happiness. I wish you were here. It will come true soon, I promise, mom.

It was the most interesting winter vacation.

I went to Las Vegas from Dec. 22 to Dec.24.

vegas的夜景很漂亮。远远的看,一片灯火的海洋,让人感觉像海市蜃楼一样(特别是在荒漠中开了两三个小时之后突然看到这般景象,绝对是让人终身难忘的经历)进去之后,在它的主街上有许多建得金碧辉煌的赌场,甚至照样建了巴黎的艾菲尔铁塔和凯旋门。几家特别有名的赌场前还有自己的show,bellagio的喷泉,treasure island前的火山喷发都很壮观。不过我们这次三天即去vegas又去大峡谷,没时间去看表演秀,而且没小赌一把,有点小遗憾,以后一定要再去一次。

The scenery in Grand Canyon is spectacular at first look but it feels a little monotonous thereafter. I walked on Skywalk and tried to jump, but can only jump 1~2 centimeters:-(.

Then I went to San Diego on Dec. 29 and Dec. 30. San Diego is very beautiful, far more beautiful than Los Angeles, and the climate is excellent. In fact all my friends began dreaming of living in San Diego after the visit(^_^). We visited Sea World, where there are shamu show, dolphin show and sea lion show.

I will post some pictures when my friends send them to me.
