忙

这几天忙不过来。今天和昨天都在计算机房工作到深夜，要做的两个测试还没完成，回家以后还要自己弄吃的，自己生活不容易……明天还要继续。昨天下午还做了一个考试，怎么说呢？做的是那种选错要扣分的选择题，问题和几个答案出得模棱两可，又是上机完成的，时间很紧（旁边还有人在“轻声地”聊天），完成以后“没了感觉”，可能好，也可能不好，第一次有考试后要看运气的想法。

明天要帮Christophe领一个文件，只能趁课间休息的空，那个部门离我们学校很远，还好我有2小时，拿我的资料在车上看。接种疫苗的事已拖了又拖，下星期一定要去，不能留到月底，怕有不适反应，月底还要和一个教授面谈，可不能状态不好。

Discipline

If I shall learn for the study, there're always something else "more important" to do. This week I’m reading From Third World To First written by Lee Kuan Yew, the first Prime Minister of Singapore, who changed Singapore thoroughly within 40 years.

My boyfriend bought the book in 2005 before our trip to Singapore. But afterwards the thick volume averted him from reading it. He had less time. Last week I picked it up again from the bookshelf. After reading its foreword and the first chapter I decided to continue. It is too interesting to drop out.

As the chapters are not ordered chronological, I chose the parts related to China, which interested me most, to start with. Surpris- ingly, unlike most of foreigners Lee has an objective view on China and the CCP.

Between the lines I sense his openness, astuteness and other qualities too numerous to articulate. Singapore simply flourished under his strategic leadership. How capable!
