Hey, do you see the NTU ad on MSN space? Wah, that's a right move. After all, NTU is still a technology uni, so using this simply technology is just what it should do.

 

Many ppl like the "fun" element that promoted by SMU. I would not say it is a bad idea. However, I would not think that "fun" should be promoted in NTU, because that is not really professionals aim to be. The NTU ad actually reflects what the uni can give to the students: profession and diversity. Fun, perhaps ppl who are active in hall activities will get it. But SMU dont have halls, so they shall create fun in campus, isnt it?

 

Hee, didnt meant anyth bad, but just saying the facts waht i think.

It is quite an old fashion to say “time flies”, but it is really the case. We are just getting older day by day. So when we are old enough, we start working; and even some of us are getting married soon. It seems like life is more colorful, but behind the colors, there might be worries and uncertainty. Of course, some people are just so sure about their future, as sun raises everyday. What about a cloudy day today?

 

Perhaps, you see me not as an optimistic person at this moment, but I actually quite self confident, because I have not really fell down in my life. But I believe that without a big fall, there won’t be a big jump in one’s life. And definitely, I hope everyone live in a bright future, because it makes your life sunny when people around you live happily.

终于，在家里跟家人过了2007的春节。这是来新以后第二次跟家人过年；以后应该可以常常回家过年了吧。只是没在家呆到今天元宵节；妹也去了南京。老爸老妈就只能两老在家吃汤圆了。传统在变，因为人们的生活方式不一样了。并没有伤感，因为已经习惯了。也因为年轻，所以对于改变适应的快。只是猜到父母应该比孩子想父母更想孩子。真希望父母永远健健康康！

 

没在家过节，但我很幸运的总可以和他家一起吃饭，多多少少也感到一些节庆的气氛。但是那美中不足总还是美中不足。没能月圆团圆就是多年来的感伤。

 

话说今天也是中国的情人节，不过我好像从没在今天收到情人的祝福。期盼，期盼。

    每年农历的正月十五日，春节刚过，迎来的就是中国的传统节日--元宵节。

　　正月是农历的元月，古人称夜为“宵”，所以称正月十五为元宵节。正月十五日是一年中第一个月圆之夜，也是一元复始，大地回春的夜晚，人们对此加以庆祝，也是庆贺新春的延续。元宵节又称为“上元节”。

　　按中国民间的传统，在这天上皓月高悬的夜晚，人们要点起彩灯万盏，以示庆贺。出门赏月、燃灯放焰、喜猜灯谜、共吃元宵，合家团聚、同庆佳节，其乐融融。

　　元宵节也称灯节，元宵燃灯的风俗起自汉朝，到了唐代，赏灯活动更加兴盛，皇宫里、街道上处处挂灯，还要建立高大的灯轮、灯楼和灯树，唐朝大诗人卢照邻曾在《十五夜观灯》中这样描述元宵节燃灯的盛况“接汉疑星落，依楼似月悬。”

　　宋代更重视元宵节，赏灯活动更加热闹，赏灯活动要进行5天，灯的样式也更丰富。明代要连续赏灯10天，这是中国最长的灯节了。清代赏灯活动虽然只有3天，但是赏灯活动规模很大，盛况空前，除燃灯之外，还放烟花助兴。

　　“猜灯谜”又叫“打灯谜”，是元宵节后增的一项活动，出现在宋朝。南宋时，首都临安每逢元宵节时制迷，猜谜的人众多。开始时是好事者把谜语写在纸条上，贴在五光十色的彩灯上供人猜。因为谜语能启迪智慧又饶有兴趣，所以流传过程中深受社会各阶层的欢迎。

　　民间过元宵节吃元宵的习俗。元宵由糯米制成，或实心，或带馅。馅有豆沙、白糖、山楂、各类果料等，食用时煮、煎、蒸、炸皆可。起初，人们把这种食物叫“浮圆子”，后来又叫“汤团”或“汤圆”，这些名称“团圆”字音相近，取团圆之意，象征全家人团团圆圆，和睦幸福，人们也以此怀念离别的亲人,寄托了对未来生活的美好愿望。
