介紹 Introduction (read the text below)
➡️ Hey there! I'm Rachel Chen.
I'm a sixteen years old high school student who enjoys eating, traveling, and taking random photographs while enjoying life XD
(Filmed based on my visual angle)

這是我們學校歷年來都會做的活動--讓十一年級學生登雪山。總共四天的行程，儘管肌肉痠痛與種種的跟平地生活大不同的模式，仍讓每位同學記憶深刻，非常感動。或許不是每個人都像我一樣是第一次爬那麼高的山，我人生中第一個百嶺，但我相信大家都有不同的感受。謝謝雪山的洗禮，也謝謝陪伴著我的老師與同學，我們做到了！更重要的是，很開心這個停駐在我十六歲的回憶,成就，是我們一起完成的 ！！

This is an event that our school has been doing for years— taking eleventh graders to climb the Snow Mountain aka Mt. Sylvia (lol Mt. Sylvia sounds better and more elegant). Although many things seen throughout this four-day-trip is very unlike things seen in our everyday lives, we are deeply touched by the lessons and memories of this trip. Thank you Mt. Sylvia for all the wonders! Great thanks to teachers and friends for your companion. WE MADE IT!!!! The importance of this trip isn’t just about reaching the top. What makes this trip special is that we are all together; and together, we make simple things extraordinary!

-- Kurt Thomas was so happy to be staying with the New York Knicks, he almost couldn't miss.

Thomas celebrated the passing of another uneventful trading deadline -- at least for him -- by scoring 21 points on 10-for-11 shooting to lead the New York Knicks past the Philadelphia 76ers 113-101 Thursday night.

"I haven't been moved yet, so I might end up finishing my career here," said Thomas, whose name was mentioned most frequently in pre-deadline trade speculation.

Thomas also grabbed 12 rebounds, and Tim Thomas shot 10-for-14 and scored 27 points for New York.

Philadelphia, which had only eight players in uniform -- none of them named Chris Webber -- was led by Allen Iverson's 29 points. Webber, acquired late Wednesday night from Sacramento, will make his Philadelphia debut Saturday against his old team, the Kings. He did not travel with the Sixers.

Stephon Marbury had 17 points and 12 assists, and Jamal Crawford added 16 points and nine assists for New York, which also was short-handed after trading Nazr Mohammed, Moochie Norris, Vin Baker and Jamison Brewer earlier in the day.

The Knicks outscored Philadelphia 32-22 in the fourth quarter to secure the win. Tim Thomas had 14 points in the final period, going 3-for-3 on 3-pointers, while Kurt Thomas had 12 on 6-for-6 shooting.

"If we play (power forward and center), it's going to be hell on people because we're such good shooters," Tim Thomas said. "It's going to force guys that aren't used to coming out of the paint to have to come out and try and contain us."

Philadelphia, which needed to have eight players in uniform, brought journeyman Jason Lawson to New York in case an extra body was necessary. But Rodney Rogers -- acquired from New Orleans earlier in the day in a three-player trade -- flew to New York aboard Hornets owner George Shinn's private jet and arrived at the arena less than an hour before tipoff, prompting the Sixers to send Lawson home.

Rogers scored just six points in 20 minutes, and he missed a 3-pointer and a layup on Philadelphia's first two possessions of the fourth quarter as the Knicks opened the period with an 8-0 run to take an 89-79 lead.

Philadelphia closed within five before Kurt Thomas hit a pair of corner jumpers, making him 9-for-10 from the field and giving the Knicks a nine-point lead with 6:30 left. Tim Thomas added three 3-pointers over the final 4:20.

"I don't care who is on our basketball team," 76ers coach Jim O'Brien said. "Our team has to make a decision, at some point and time, that we are going to pay the price and be a good defensive basketball team.

"You defend, you win. If you don't, you lose," O'Brien said.

Kurt Thomas started at center and is expected to man that position for the remainder of the regular season.

He spoke with Isiah Thomas on the telephone after the 3 p.m. trade deadline passed, and the Knicks' president reminded him he kept his word by not dealing him away.

"I hear (trade rumors) every year," Kurt Thomas said. "Wouldn't you be interested in what I do out there?"

Game notes

Five members of the International Olympic Committee's selection delegation, who finished a four-day inspection visit to New York earlier in the day, sat front and center on celebrity row -- the best seats in the house. One of the delegates held his hands out when the Knicks' dancers were throwing T-shirts into the stands during the fourth quarter, but he didn't get the freebie. ... Despite their shortage of big men and bodies, the Knicks did not use 7-foot-2 center Bruno Sundov.
