As usual I didn't do anything for the New Year.. Almost. I didn't even watch the special tv. programs. There isn't anything to watch anyways. I already know what they show at New Years eve. It's "Dinner For One" lol

I've heard in germany they show this in each new yeareve already 40 years. Seems they copied germans here too, because they have shown it now also here at least 15 years or maybe 20.. :P

For Xmas they traditionally show "Home Alone" By The Way.

Anyways, I still saw the firework. I say s

I have just changed my profile photo (avatar) - this is the first time I've ever changed it!

I bet you are already familiar with my old avatar, and some of the members here (like anele) may not really want me to change it. I don't think it's a good idea to change one's profile photo frequently, but it's quite acceptable to change it from time to time. Actually, some of the members have suggested I change it. I never changed the photo because I think it may make it hard for other members to easily

"This morning of the last day of the year, I suddenly feel like writing a blog. But actually, I thought writing days before today, I just couldn't know what to write about. It keeps nagging in my head that I have already forgotten my first love in EC - writing a blog. Then, suddenly after reading Robbie's blog (thanks to you,Rob!), it inspires me to jot down a list of my most favorite practices in 2011."

I used to wait for you, Mr. Postman...  Wait for your coming to my house. I felt so happy when you delivered a letter or postcard to me. But now, I never find you anymore..., where are you? you disappear in the globalization era, replaced by the modern technology.. Oh. technology... why are you so cruel?, sometimes... :(

Thank you to all of the MyEC members who have taken my Writing Challenges in 2011. I enjoy reading and correcting your writing. You inspire me! You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. 

We are coming to the end of a year, and it's time to reflect on the past and prepare for the future. One word that helps us do this in English is the word "if". Do you know how to use this word properly?

Many are asking what would you do in 2012, what are you preparing for the new year?

What are the new resolutions, red lines, goals, targets, achievements?

Some really plan and stick to it..

Some say..

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner,
And his daughter Clementine.

Refrain:
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was, and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

  Walking lightly as a fairy,
Though her shoes were number nine,
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping,
Lovely girl, my Clementine.

  Drove she

You make me laugh when I want to cry,

Make me live when I want to die,

Make me smile when I want to frown,

You turn my life upside down.

Believe in me when no one else does

You’re my now, my is, my was.

When you call my name I begin to blush,

I'm afraid people notice I need you so much.

When I'm with you time flies by fast.

It's like the present is the past...

Siddhartha is the name of a deep story from "Herman Hesse".

It was one of the best stories that I've ever read in English.

I could understand it well, without any problem as if I'm reading it in my ow

  Hi! I'm Robbie, am a proud member of MyEC. Since this year is coming to an end, let me share to you some of my activities that I had accomplished from being an active member. I considered them as my adventures of learning.

Have you ever got lost at a street? What a terrible feeling! You have no idea where to go or whom you ask for help. People at the street may or may not be able to help you. You are all alone sitting on the curb thinking: “Can I get to my destination?”

As a first year student in Toronto University, I had so many ups and downs. This may give you some idea how studying looks like in U of T.
