Evening

Tonight is a dark night with heavy fog on the Burnaby mountain. I can hear the ship starts its trip from the harbour. I think this is the most  mysterious night I have met before and I really enjoy this kind of quiet night.

Operating System

I tried to use the two of the most popular computer operating systems which are Windows 7 and Linux in the  past a few semesters. I think Windows 7 got very successful improvement from Windows Vista. I remember that when I used Vista system, it makes me to feel angry and a blue screen death often happens to me and makes me to restart the computer. Sometimes when restarting does not work, I even need to restore it to an original state. Windows 7 does not have this problem and have a better user interface and faster speed than Vista. Linux is a also a convenient OS and it can use the terminal to do many operations. I don't like to use the command line user interface to operate a system because I can't remember these many commands and I sometimes spell words wrong and make the command invalid.

Taking picture

I like to take some photos each week, but I do not have a good camera. I do not have extra money to buy a professional camera, so my smart phone is my partner to take photos. I always choose early morning and late afternoon to take photos as light is very important. Even I am not very good at taking photos, it is still a very enjoyable thing for me to do it.

Essays

I did not take a writing course in the past one year. This semester, I take a upper level writing course called Cmpt 376w as one of my major requirements. I am not good at managing my time to write the essays, and I always start my work till the due date. It is a terrible habit and makes me not to have enough time to check the essay again for revision.

Cheers, Leon Messi

  I have been a fan of Messi for about 8 years. In my memory, the first time I watched his game is in the world cup of 2006 when he is still a young player with the similar age as mine. In that game, he plays as a substitution for Argentina and scores one goal in his limited show time. Now, he is awarded the FIFA Ballon d’Or the fourth time as the best player in the world of the last year. I feel very proud of him, and I will continue supporting him from now on.

Moving

           At the beginning of this semester, I moved to an apartment which is quite close to SFU Burnaby campus. It takes only 7 minutes to walk there, so I always start out 10 minutes before my class begins.In everyday life, I also only spend 5 or 6 minutes to get to the supermarket and the food court by walking. The location seems very convenient, but when the school and home combine into one, it makes me feel bored.
