It is a really great pleasure to celebrate a totally new year and to drop 2008 in history. There were so many happy incidents and bad things in 2008 which completely changed our moods and ways to measure the world. The snowstorm occurred in early Feb. in 2008, the severe railway accident in Jiaoji, the strong earthquake in Sichuan Province and of course, Olympic Games in Aug. We sometimes consider that the current ability of government will slowly but deeply affects the future conditions of a nation. 2008 is just a year for many severe and horrible symptoms to erupt and I hope it won’t be just a beginning.

To talk something encouraging, I have to mention there will be a big PC game release in Jun. 2009 which is for The Sims 3^TM! I do really consider the Sims 3^TM an excellent and expectable PC game for the series of the Sims 1,2^TM have won a perfect fame and also a well profit. The characters in this game and be totally designed freely just as you want and you will not worry that your dream star won’t be true. With thousands of customized stuff and little decorations, the background and the whole atmosphere are just a success and a paradise only when you are crazy about simulation game like me.

Now it’s a time for determining New Year resolutions. Ironically, it is always a mistake for me to do this because 9 out of 10 resolutions waned before the end of Feb. and the last one is to keep these resolutions for a year. However, please allow me to promise here, that in the year of 2009, with a 60-year-old anniversary for my motherland, I will keep learning English much better and harder to make an advanced progress in the near future. Incessant practice, large vocabulary building and few grammatical mistakes, these are predictable difficult goal but I will try and may they come true.
