This is a place where if you fart, everyone would be able to smell it.

This is a place where if one girl doesn't like you, all her so-called female friends would turn their back against you.

This is a place where sometime you just want to shout at them: "Grow up!"

What are the girls gossiping about? – I wonder.

People can have so many different hobbies in life. So some people just enjoy gossiping. How much pleasure can gossiping give to a woman? – I wonder.

This is also a place where you feel really comfortable to stay after a while, despite what has happened.

大家对电视剧版的<<红楼梦>>已经颇为熟悉了，这里简单介绍一下89年电影版的。据说当年的拍摄也是云集了天下美女，在当时的影艺界引起了不少的轰动。好就好在，拍得实在太好了！差就差在，当局也太pure太朴实了，不懂得炒作，所以这部电影鲜为人知。其实它的演员阵容非常强大，这要搁到现在，早被炒到天外天了。里面有很多我们现在很熟悉的面孔：

• 刘晓庆饰王熙凤（也就非她莫属了，呵呵）
• 傅艺伟饰熙宝钗（大美女一个，第一次知道她时是在初中看的<<封神榜>>里，她演妲妃，当时觉着她那个美呀）
• 陈红饰紫鹃（电影演了几集了，半路杀进来了陈凯歌的老婆，80年代的她长得好清纯啊，细细的腰，甜甜的声音）
• 赵丽蓉饰刘姥姥（真是艺术家! 没得说!）
• 何晴饰秦可卿（啊，唯一演遍四大名著的美人！偶小时候还给她当过一阵子小粉丝^_^）

• 电视版陈晓旭的黛玉几乎是个悲情人物，我则更倾向于电影里陶慧敏演的黛玉，因为这个黛玉除了哭以外还露出了智慧和伶俐的影子，这样就尊重了原著而解释了为什么当初会有宝和黛都是当家人之首选的话题。不过这一点应该是编剧的问题而不是演员的问题。（0:1）
• 再说说王熙凤。电视的邓婕和电影的刘晓庆都演得精彩之极，只不过两个人各有特色。邓婕的凤丫头笑里藏刀，刘晓庆的则霸气十足。（1:1）
• 电影里的宝玉是由女演员夏钦反串出演的，她的名字虽不被很多人所知，但演技无可挑剔，跟着电影看一会儿就忘了戏服里裹的女儿身了。但虽说如此，总会觉得少了些什么，那就是男子气。宝玉再嗔（这个字用北京口音来念），也是有男人味的，这一点欧阳奋强的宝玉就不战而胜啦。（1:0）
• 至于宝钗，同样两个都好得没得说，只不过电视版的张莉能看出来是在演戏，而电影里傅艺伟的表演则显得更真实一些。（0:1）

Once again! Between Raphael and Roger!!
Can't wait!!! I like them both... so don't know who I should pray for~~~!
Roger Federer is a perfect player, but it also seems like it's about time for Nadal's turn. Hmmm... maybe not, Raphael Nadal is still very young, so who knows... dunno...

June has been such a long month.

Really, has it been just one month??? Can't believe it... It seems like it went away fast because every single day was fully occupied. After it's gone and I look back, wow!

This was the month full of dramas and opportunities. Lots of things happened... with many of them will be remembered...

英国的夜晚万籁俱寂，偶尔海边会吹来几阵微风，几只笨海鸥们闲着没事也会叫几声。一切都是那么详和，似乎远方的灾难从来不曾被近处这一片方土记住过。

我夜不能寐，趴在电脑前聚精会神地上网看资料，迫切想知道四川地震救震的近况。这些新闻是英国的新闻媒体所不能给予的。我对英国的BBC电台失望透顶，西方所谓的言论自由原来是个骗局。一场巨大的自然灾难何必加上另样的政治色彩？

感谢高科技因特网让远方的我们跟国内的灾情牵上了线。一夜一夜我们为网上传播的动人故事流下了眼泪。

英国最近太“平和”了，所以我们几个拙人决定弄点小地震。慈善筹款活动已经进行一天了，本周六还要去跳蚤市场义卖。一个学生问我：“人家会不会笑我们像乞讨的呀？” 我说：“如果我们什么都不做，人家才会笑我们呢。” 事实上，当天站在那里，感觉莫名的欣慰。

You think that I’m impatient, but I do things fast. I hate wasting time, and I finish tasks in an efficient and effective way. So pro or con?

You notice that I get bored easily, but I’m creative. My imagination can bring me to another world that you’ve hardly experienced. So please excuse me if I’m just not willing to settle down here. Now pro or con?

You blame me for being too straightforward, but at least I’m honest with you. I don’t lie about feelings, nor do I fake emotions. So pro or con?

I hate that you are so stubborn. But then you told me it was this stubbornness that helped you through the most difficult time of your life – because of it, you stick to what you believed, and in the end you survived. Your stubborness, I don't know if it's a pro or con...

I was really annoyed by the bookish people around me. Can their lives get any geekier? One day after I jumped out everywhere like a time-disoriented monkey, I then realized they were the only constant I had. My constant never changes; it makes me feel calm. Hmmm… geeky, is it a pro or con?

No definitive answer? Well, I guess it’s like everything else – there are two sides to the story.

• 有了西瓜，南瓜，东瓜（冬瓜），我就开始想，为什么没有北瓜？

• 一个土生土长在英国一个小镇的人，从未出门旅行过，只在那个方圆十里的地盘上过了一辈子，有一天突然开始与我们争论世界观，我们这些在异国闯荡的海外学子们都笑了。

• 一群人在酒吧喝酒聊天，谈到爱情家庭时一个人开始高谈阔论：“到了咱们这个岁数的人，若还没谈个对象啥的，这些人就肯定有毛病！” 我知道英国人诚实，可没想到直白到这地步。谁想，我旁边，也就是那个发言者的对面，就坐着个四十多岁的单身汉。当当当… 乌鸦飞过…

• 在英国的中国留学生们给几个省份地区加上了售前印象（以下不代表个人意见）：上海人精明，河南人狡滑，福建人都是偷渡过来的。

• 以前觉得国内衣服便宜，现在回国要被物价吓死。北京双安商场旁一家不起眼的小店里，老板娘奸笑到：“这件漂亮的风衣2750元，小姐您要的话可以便宜点儿！”心脏病！… 以前是从国内往国外捎衣服，现在调了个儿。回国了，七大姑八大姨的衣服我都捎，听说国外普通的牌子在国内都卖得具贵，正好赶人情儿。

• 初中时，我亲手用砖头砸死过一只老鼠。以后每次想起它死前挣扎的样子，我都很痛苦。人家老鼠没有惹我，只因教科书上写着老鼠有害，所以它就做了牺牲品。唉，人什么时候才能学会思考？

• 没有车的时候想开车，开车久了又想骑自行车了。

• 据说巧克力里有一种减肥的成份，于是我买来无数巧克力做实验，试验期副作用是体重增长10公斤，还在探索中。我不会气馁的。
