時間Fri Oct 24 13:13:03 2008
Man..... translating is such a hard job....
I'm suppose to be translating some research paper from Chinese to English for
one of my professors.....but it is soo hard....
I think that my brain has stopped functioning.
So... now... I'm procrastinating.....help...
Sometimes, it is easy to translate; but.. today, I dunno whats wrong with me..
I can't seem to pin-point the exact Chinese meaning in English...
I wish I could do something to get rid of this state of "blankness"......
sigh~~~

I wish you well and so I take my leave,
I pray you know me when we meet again.
