I can only go this far! typing chinese is quite a torture to me too considering the fact that my ping ying is not very strong! Oh My GOD! LOOK AT my ATROCIOUS chinese words used and the fact that I spent so much time thinking of a chinese word yet in teh end still resort to English word!

I am really ashame of myself....
