My Evening Dress on Titanic

When I stepped on Titanic, I hope that I could wear an evening dress and pretended that I was one of the guests there. Then I started to design my dress , I found out that it was difficult for me to do it because dressing in SL was really complicated. However, I did think it was really interesting if I had enough time to try every different clothes and materials.




I wore a black top and a sleeveless purple shirt. My white and silver long skirt was made by leather. I also wore a pair of white gloves. I thought they made me looks more elegant. In order to put something around my neck, I chose a light blue scarf. The silver high heels were pretty special and they were designed by other players in SL.

Lunamaruna

Trip to Lunamaruna (SL)


When I visited Lunamaruna, I was attracted by this cartoonish, fantasy, and mystery world. All of the buildings and materials were painted by pastel and watercolor. There were some colorful seaweed around the riverbank. A dolphin liked fountain was in the middle of the town square. The buildings were around the square and they all looked abnormal and leaned to one side. The ratio of the houses was strange and gave all the adventurers a special vision. But the sky was dark and had some mist and made me feel a little bit scared.


When I was on my way to the researcher lab, I saw a horrible thing- the oversized angler fish. The huge angler fish was dangled its light and trying to attract the lure. There were some human bones lying around the ground and made me feel eerie. In order to pass the “monster” safely, I walked really fast. Unfortunately, I saw my friend fell into the water! I couldn’t help screaming and strived to find some ways to help her. The fish swam to her but that was a release that the angler fish just swam away and didn’t hurt anyone.



On the other side of the square, I saw three “flying” rays. The view was really special that I stopped for a while to enjoy this vision. I took some snapshots and tried to catch the best angle for the rays. When I arrived at the town square, I saw a pink dolphin sitting on a rocking chair with a white sailor hat and a pipe in his mouth. It reminds me of the cartoon character-Popeye :)



There was a sign introducing the puffer fish. I saw four brightly colored and vivid puffer fish swam freely there. I decided to walk closer and take a look at them. Again, the puffer fish scared me because they puffed themselves up suddenly. However, they all look nice and friendly. You can even ride on them.



In this mission, I did learn a lot from Jason and the other participants. Jason taught us some words to describe what we saw in the world and helped us to discuss some topics. I liked this world and it provided us a good chance to explore the new things.

Music in Second Life

Music always makes people feel relax and comfortable. I like to listen to the music when I felt stressful. That’s why I choose this topic as a mission in Second Life. The video about U2’s concert in Second Life was really cool and real. I would like to dance and sing with them if I were there. Jason’s music was amazing, too. It would make people want to listen again and again. The lyrics are close to our daily lives.



When I went to the Musicland Isle, I saw a set of drums and the shining spot lights on the stage. I couldn’t help sitting at the drums and pretending I was the professional drummer. It was a dream for me to perform on the stage because I thought it was really cool.



We seldom have the opportunities to interview singers or musicians. This time I was full of energy to start the mission. Jason’s music made me feel really comfortable and relax. That’s why I wanted to know about his musician story.



Jason was really friendly and willing to share his personal feelings about how to be a singer and how to start his singing career. “It’s never too late to start” Jason said. I totally agreed with him because I thought hard working and diligent are the main focus to success.

I hope that I can go to his live concert and have fun next time.

The trip to The Star Trek Museum





I went to The Star Trek Museum in Eridani on January 6th. There were some exhibits of Star Trek Arts. Most of them introduced the history of Star Trek. It was a popular movie and drama in the old days.
Many products were sold in the wooden houses. I was curious and decided to take a look at them.



On my way to the spaceport, I saw two samurais were fighting with each other. When I touched one of the samurais, he would change his poses. But their weapons were quite different from I had expected. They used strange scimitar-looked knife instead of katana.

When I saw the “free” space shuttle, I felt really excited and couldn’t wait to visit the outer space.


That space trip was cool and amazing. Billions of stars were shining in the sky. I felt that I was the captain of the space team.


This place was quite big and I couldn’t visit all of them in one day. But I did learn some interesting information from the Star Trek Museum.
