Some have noticed I didn't update my space or logged on my MSN for quite a while. No worry, nothing bad happened.

For school, I am currently doing my paper while writing out my thesis. Actually, I thought I haven't got any work done for months. However, my supervisor just told me "I see you have done enough work, now you need to write them out", weirdly, with no sarcasm! What in the world ... Maybe it is just the way of grad school here. A lazy Chinese could be diligent Canadian-wise.

So how did I spend my time if I wasn't working? I wrote novels, in Chinese.

First, I wrote a typical Romeo&Juliet love story about star-crossed youth. The story happened in World War II. The protagonist was a young military officer of Chinese Red Army (Communist). He suffered a poor and torturing life in his childhood and youthhood. The girl he got in love was, however, a rich and spoiled girl from a family of high ranking general of Chinese National Party. They met and fell in love when they fought the Nazi together. The opposite attraction is the magic of their love. Unfortunately, they finally faced a destined departure when the WWII was over and Communist Party and National Party started the civil war.

As you can see, the story is pro love and anti war

The story is now done. I am working on my second one. This one is about my previous life in China, a young man works in university. The protagonist is not me myself, but a typical young university employee I want to describe and cast my sympathy on. I want to write his emotional feelings about love, family and friends, his will to be success, and his self-lying and procrastination which hold him back. Another main concept is the conflict between an idealist and this material world. The story will be long and there will be more than 20 characters. Note that ALL scenarios will be modified REAL story ever happened in my university. When it comes to novel, I am all realist.

Except writing and working, I am working out as hard as before. I do strength training 3/4 times a week, and play badminton once a week. Not so much improvement on my muscle since I was back. Well, no rush, it takes time. My badminton skill is better tough, and playing it became more and more fun.

And I am planning a trip with friends during X-Mas. I don't know if we are going to do that for sure, but I am really looking forward to it.
