Back to Home

Here I am, rite at home, planning what to write in this entry. To conclude, merely two things did I learn for today, and they are :

1) I learnt that numerous classmates in either our class or those next door are wasting no time
in revising textbooks or notes from tutorial centre during recess, lunch, and even in the
interim of lessens! How hardworking they are! I could not face myself for I fooled around and
daydreamed while others are making progress in their studies and well prepared for the
HKCEE. By now I realise that it may be too late to discover this (or not). Yet, I have to put
lots more effort on study at the expense of the time for playing games and daydreaming. I am
with the idom I learnt today, "Where there's a will, there's a way.".

2) Well, by the time I finished the first point I have had the second point lost in my mind,
and gone with the wind. :P

I'd like to deliver my apologies here. (hehee)

So as to compensate I'm going to show u an article about my country, China's manned space mission. As yet there were merely 2 space flights, though China announced the next manned space mission will take place before long:

China's space plans

China has announced that its next manned space mission will take place in 2007. The news comes shortly after the country's second space flight returned safely to earth after five days in space. This report from Daniel Griffiths:

Listen to the story

China's wasted no time in setting out the latest plans for its ambitious space programme. A senior official said the next manned mission will be in 2007, when the astronauts will attempt a space walk. After that, scientists will focus on developing the capability to rendezvous and dock with other spacecraft. He added that China also wanted to recruit female astronauts in the near future.

The announcement comes just hours after the country's second manned space mission touched down in the remote grasslands of inner Mongolia. The returning astronauts have been given a hero's welcome, riding in an open car in a nationally televised parade. Thousands of soldiers and groups of schoolchildren lined the route, waving Chinese flags. It's a sign of the great importance China attaches to its space programme, viewing it as a source of national pride and international prestige.
