I can't believe my life.
Published on September 8, 2004 By wuxiaomao In Blogging
Here is a run down of the last 14 days of my so called life (in no particular order)

- My computer died and I lost everything on it except about 6 pieces of music and a start to an article. I lost the first chapter of my book, 7 pages worth of brainstorming material and about 25 articles (unpublished).

- I entered a talent contest and won second prize, 2000US dollars.

- I moved to the other side of China and I love my job but hate the weather and miss my dog.

-I broke a friendship with someone I had been friends with for five years and I feel 20 pounds lighter...almost anorexic actually.

-I caught my first summer flu just when we had one more month to rap up before summer was done.

-I am single with no possible candidates around for miles on end for the first time in 25 years and I am very happy with that.

- No clubs, no bars, no malls just mountains and fishing streams with fishermen in straw hats and I am not yet delirious with inactivity, instead I have an indoor swimming pool, a running track and a weight room to occupy myself plus off cours JU:)

-I have been asked to sing a Chinese song for Teacher's day on Friday... a big deal.

- I start Chinese classes on Friday and the guy is doing it for free!

-My new apartment is amazing, dark antiquey heavy furniture and Samsung implements all new, all mine, plus 2 balconies...I don't mean to brag buut...

- I love life, am unsure about tomorrow but I am ok about that too.

-I am very happy to be back on line, hope to resume getting to know you guys and staying out of virtual trouble! I did miss you all:) especially Kingbee and Texas Wahine, I hope you are still here...

Wow, sounds like things are going great at the moment, I'm pleased for you. Did you sing for the talent contest?
on Sep 08, 2004
yes I did! It was actually pretty funny...I had to go to a recording studio, and then there was the show with a live studio audience and then last week a friend of mine called me and let me hear myself on tv. I don't know, it was life a big deal that wasn't you know? A surreal moment.

wuxiaomao: Welcome back. I was thinking about where you had been. I had not been seeing your comments to any of the blogs for some time now. Welcome back!!

And yes, about the 2000 USD. Congratulations. What kind of a talent contest was it? You could write about it in your next blog.

I guess this kind of money can get you a long way in China, right? Let me guess, food and shelter for 3 months at least.

Your new job am happy for you and feel sorry for your dog coz can be roasted any time ,keep checking on her maybe she is feeling the same as you are .In normal cases if you store your data in the local disc it is very rare to lose it .

Welcome back.


Thank you Olikara! I am glad to be back, I can't get my eyes off the screen, I have missed so much in so little time!


Noldane: Thanks for the advice, a little too late for me though..I am practically on my way right now to buy a hard drive... whatever that is!! (I swear I really don't know...apparently its like a humungus super sized hard disc)

heyyyyy welcome back!


if youre able to salvage any data, its very possible you can salvage more.  if your computer is working now (and you havent reformatted) i may be able to help you with that.

That and more !!!! I could live on that comfortably for at least 6 months! If I was a guy who didnt need shoes off course. We dont pay rent or utilities its part of the trs deal...and my latest school threw in free food as well!
