  • Best wishes to my nephew

    2008-05-16 13:39:10

    Somehow, I miss my little nephew very much at the moment. I know his examination is impending and he is under a lot of pressure. He constantly received high marks in his studies. Surely, my family and his teachers have high expectations of him. If everything is in working order, I am sure he is going to enter senior high school.

     

    He is a small but smart boy and he is 13 years old this year. He is soon study in high school and I only bless him. In fact, I am a little bit worried about his health. I heard that he have to study at school from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00p.m. How tired he is! He only is a child of thirteen.

     

    Come on, my great nephew. I am here and here with you. All people who care you are on your side. Please take care of yourself and your aunt believes that you are the greatest. Clear? Please remember: if you work hard today, it’ll be sunny tomorrow.

     

    Anyway, good luck in his examination!

  • Do you remember

    2008-05-14 20:56:11

    Do you remember by Jack Johnson
    Do you remember when we first met? I sure do
    It was some time in early September
    You were lazy about it, you made me wait around
    I was so crazy about you, I didn't mind

    So I was late for class, I locked my bike to yours
    It wasn't hard to find, you painted flowers on
    I guess that I was afraid that if you rolled away
    You might not roll back my direction really soon

    But I was crazy about you then and now
    The craziest thing of all, over ten years have gone by
    And you're still mine, we're locked in time
    Let's rewind

    Do you remember when we first moved in together?
    The piano took up the living room
    You played me boogie-woogie I played you love songs
    You'd say we're playing house now you still say we are

    We built our getaway up in a tree we found
    We felt so far away but we were still in town
    Now I remember watching that old tree burn down
    I took a picture that I don't like to look at

    Well all these times they come and go
    And alone don't seem so long
    Over ten years have gone by
    We can't rewind, we're locked in time
    But you're still mine
    Do you remember?

    曾记我们初见?如今依然历历在目
    那是在九月上旬
    你懒得理我,我却一旁痴傻等待
    我为你如此疯狂,所以我不介意

    为你我上课迟到,我把我俩的自行车锁在一起
    找到你的车一点儿都不难,因为你在上面画了花儿
    我想当时你若溜走
    也许就不会再让我为你痴迷

    但我无时无刻不为你疯狂
    最疯狂的是十余年已经过去
    而你还是我的,我们的爱情定格成永恒
    让我们再回到从前

    曾记我们初次在同一屋檐下
    钢琴占据了整个卧室
    你为我弹布吉伍吉爵士乐,我为你弹情歌
    你曾说我们在玩过家家,现在你仍这么认为
    啊,时光穿梭
    也许看起来它并不是很长
    十余年过去了
    即使我们回不到从前
    我们的爱情将定格成永恒
    你仍是我的
    曾记否
    我们在树上搭建小屋享受度假风情
    我们觉得虽生活于尘世却远离尘世
    现在我仍记那老树燃尽的一幕
    当时拍下的照片连我自己都不愿再看
    啊,时光穿梭
    也许看起来它并不是很长
    十余年过去了
    即使我们回不到从前
    我们的爱情将定格成永恒
    你仍是我的
    曾记否

  • One More Time

    2008-05-14 20:47:26

    Nothing I must do
    Nowhere I should be
    No one in my life
    To answer to but me
    No more candlelight
    No more purple skies
    No one to be near
    As my heart slowly dies
    If I could hold you one more time
    Like in the days when you where mine
    I'd look at you 'till I was blind
    So you would stay
    I'd say a prayer each time you'd smile
    Cradle the moments like a child
    I'd stop the world if only I
    Could hold you one more time
    (hmmmmmm)
    I've memorized your face
    I know your touch by heart
    Still lost in your embrace
    I'd dream of where you are

    I'd say a prayer each time you'd smile
    Cradle the moments like a child
    I'd stop the world if only I
    Could hold you one more time
    One more time

  • We Will Get There

    2008-05-14 20:45:48

    Remember the days we sat out together with faith?
    Remember the times so fine
    When we thought that nothing could stand in our way?
    Then things weren't the same. The life that we knew had to change
    We've struggled through the darkest storms.
    We thought we couldn't tame
    Together we've tried as we stood side by side
    I knew we'd build a new world, a world of hope forever after

    Deep in my heart I just know right from the start we will grow
    Look where we are we've come so far
    And there's still a long long way to go
    All of my heart I will care. I'll play my part, I will share
    With family and friends together we'll stand
    And in the end, hand in hand, we will get there

    So now we begin, working together to win
    Believing in trust, it must be possible to overcome anything
    There's so much to do. There's so much we can contribute
    By sharing just a little love we will start again a new
    So why don't we try? If we stand side by side
    I know we'll build a new world, a world of hope for ever after

    ——还记得我们坐在一起雄心勃勃的日子吗?还记得我们认为未来一片坦途的美好时光么?如今,生活改变了太多,我们已走了太长的路。但是,只要我们肩并肩,只要我们分享一点点的爱,最终,我们会到达那里,与家人与朋友一起,到达我们人生旅途的终点,到达我们心之所系的目标……

  • The Day You Went Away

    2008-05-14 20:34:54

    Well I wonder could it be

    When I was dreaming about you baby, you were dreaming of me

    Call me crazy. Call me blind

    To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time

    Did I lose my love to someone better? And does she love you like I do?

    I do, you know I really really do

    Well hey! So much I need to say:

    Been lonely since the day, the day you went away

    I remember date and time:

    September twenty second, Sunday twenty five ater nine

    In the doorway with your case. No longer shouting at each other

    There were tears on our faces

    And we were letting go of something special

    Something we'll never have again. I know, I guess I really really know

    Well hey! So much I need to say:

    Been lonely since the day, the day you went away

    So sad but true for me there's only you

    Been crying since the day, the day you went away

    So sad but true for me there's only you

    Been crying since the day, the day you went away

    Why do we never know what we've got till it's gone?

    How could I carry on the day you went away?

    Cause I've been missing you so much I have to say

    Been crying since the day, the day you went away

  • What a tiring day

    2008-05-14 15:53:00

    What a nice day! However, I was really tired this morning since I have been working hard all morning. Today we have receive many order. What's more, one of my colleagues asked for leave and I have to take over the job. you can image how tired I was!

    The long hours of work have wearied me. Moreover, my shoulder is playing up horribly. It's too badly!

    I am a little bit worried about my eyes. I placed myself before the computer and do my job from Monday to Saturday. Thus, my eyes are sore sometimes and I have to have a rest. I know my sight is getting dim. What should I do? wwwwww...........

     

     

  • A pair of high-heel shoes

    2008-05-13 12:01:23

    I never thought that I can wear my high-heel shoes one day. Frankly speaking, I did't like to wear it. However, my friends suggest me to try and change my style. I think it's true. Now that I am growing up and I must learn to dressing up.

    Long ago I bought a pair of high-heel shoes. Then, I put it in the loker and never put out .  " If you don't like it, please give me as a gift and don't waste it." one of my roommates joked. Surely, I joyfully consented. But the shoes do not fit well as for her. Today,  I have an impulse to wear it. However, there are a lot of questions in my heart. I am afraid of that whether I will lost my balance. I can't bear I fall to the ground, because It's an awkward situation.

    I wonder if it's a special day for me. It's the first time I wear my high-heel shoes. What does this mean? Does it mean I am a big girl? Somehow I must learn to stand on my own two feet.

    Suddenly, It's hit me. It seems that the peason who just access to sociey just like one wears her high-shoes for the first time. When you started to wear it, you are a little bit worried that whether you can walk as natural as before. In fact, you are fearful of falling. And then, you have to practise again and again until you can wear it lightly.

    My buddy, what do you think?

  • Silence is not always gold

    2008-05-12 17:24:28

    Good evening ,Ladies and gentlemen!! it is my honour to be here and i am very happy to share my speech with you.My topic today is "Silence is not always gold"..

    Since the ancient times .most people believe in a popular saying"Silence is gold",but i don't believe it ,as far as i am concerned ,it doesn't suit us any more,Nowadays,In order to make yourself well-understood, in order to show yourself, the most important thing you need to do is making your voice heard.

    If you keep silent ,you will lose the right to speak ,So you good ideas will not be adopted.

    If you keep silent ,it will take others a long time to notice .As a result ,no one will know you.

    If you keep silent ,Chances,Friends and even your lover will leave you. Don't be always waitting.the chance won't knock at your door itself. Don't be shy. say"I'll stand by your side "to your friends and say "I love you "to your lover.

    Dear friends .please allow me to ask you some questions here. when your friends are in danger.should you be silent? If you see bad guys stealling others' wallet. should you be silent? of course .the answer is "No".

    Gold is always shining. but silence doesn't , so dear friends ,don't say silence is gold any more .tell people what you think and what you feel ,which will make them get to know you little by little through your words.Tell them what you want .only in this way can you satisfy your needs well.

    Ladies and Gentlemen and all my friends!! please remember :silence is not your choice!!!

    I can see but I keep deep inside on it

    Oh life I feel that I can bring it again

    In the world where love will still remain

    mmm...

    In the world where love will still remain.

  • I would like to look at the sea

    2008-05-12 12:01:57

    It was three years ago that I first looked at the sea with my family. The memory is so enough and let me want to see that again.

     

    I was born in a little town and there was no beach near my hometown. However, I was always looking forward to that day I can look at the sea with my family and feel the power of the sea. To my surprise, that day my little wish finally came true. We sat and talked together; we played in the seaside, we took pictures and so on. How gloriously happy we had been during those few fleeting moments of time.

     

    Today, I received a letter from my old sister. She said let us go to the seaside during International Children’s Festival. It’s a good idea! The good plan completed my happiness. I will be right here waiting for that day.

     

    Oh, my sea, I love you!

     

    If there was a day that I can live by the sea with my family and catch some rays. Sometimes, I can stroll along the beach with my honey. Oh, is this ever beautiful!
  • I see

    2008-05-10 10:16:08

    Today, I received a letter from one of my friends today. Some of his words was excellent and I've learned a great deal from it.  

    He has shared a good saying with me, "Everything happened is a tiny thing compared to our life. When you are old and turn back, it's just a jok God played with you. So keep every change as a surprise to your life. You life will be colorful." He also told me that Time is a magic thing. Sometimes it can recover your sadness. Well, I also think so.

    I recall a poem from Tagore:If by life you were deceived/Don't be dismal, don't be wild/ In the day of grief be mild/ Merry days will come believe/ Heart is liveing in tomorrow/ Present is dejected here/ In a moment, passes sorrow/ That which passes will be dear.

    If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars. Yeah, I am trying to recognize these moment now and cherish them. I am trying to wipe tears and forget what I have to forget.

    Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.

  • A new start

    2008-05-09 11:47:42

    One of my good friends said, " you lost a lot of weight."  Then I weighted in at 46 kg on the scale yesterday.It's true, I lost 3kg this month and my face consumed away. It's too terrible!

    From now on, don't cry, because it is over; smile, because I have to pull to myself together and face up to life.

    I must try to put my past out of my head, and make a fresh start with better intentions. As time go on, I will forget my grief.

    A new travel, a new dream, a new mind, a new mood, a new myself. Let me have a new start.

     

  • A gift for my mother

    2008-05-08 15:47:37

    Mother’s day is coming. Do you know anything about the history of it?

     

    In the U.S. mothers’ Day is a holiday celebrated on second Sunday in May. It is a day when children honor their mothers with cards, gifts, and flowers. First observance in Philadelphia, Pa. in 1907, it is based on suggestions by Julia Ward Howe in 1872 and by Anna Jarvis in 1907.

    Although it wasn’t celebrated in the U.S. until 1907, there were days honoring mothers even in the days of ancient Greece. In those days, however, it was Phea, the mother of the gods that was given honor.

     

    In the U.S., in 1907 Ana Jarvis, from Philadelphia, began a campaign to establish a national Mother’s Day. Jarvis persuaded her mother’s church in Grafton, West Virginia to celebrate Mother’s Day on the second anniversary of her mother’s death; the 2nd Sunday of May The next year Mother’s Day was also celebrated in Philadelphia. In 1914, made the official announcement proclaiming Mother’s Day a national observance that was to be held each year on the 2nd Sunday of May.

     

    I bought a chain bracelet on the internet this morning. It’s the first time I send a present to my mother on Mother’s Day. Although it’s a little present, I hope my mother likes it. However, she couldn’t receive my present as soon as possible and I only say “happy Mother’s Day” to my mother on line. I hope I will come back next Mother’s Day. I’d like to help mother to wash dishes, wash her hair and so on. I remember quick clear now; I often massage my mother’s back for her when I was young. Those were the days of my past.

     

    My dear mother, I have always loved you and I know I always will. Thank you for your nurture, I will always be by your side.

    Well, I have searched a graceful poem as follows:

     

    Richer Than Gold
    -- Strickland Gillilan (1869-1954)
    I had a mother who read me things
    That wholesome life to the boy heart brings --
    Stories that stir with an upward touch,
    Oh, that each mother of boys were such!

    You may have tangible wealth untold;
    Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
    Richer than I you can never be --
    I had a mother who read to me.

     

    The poem for all the great mothers! May you live happily!

     

  • A letter to myself

    2008-05-07 16:41:27

    Dear Kag,

    Weep now and nevermore!

    You already cried all day. You should know that your eyes were swollen with weeping.

    However, is it useful? the answer is "No". Please receive and face it, ok? It's not a doomsday! You are not lose world but lose love of someone.

    Let bygone be bygones. I think everything will be fine. Please pull yourself together and face up to life. Also, don't forget to give a smile and hope to yourself everyday.

    Nowadays, you should understand that no one will be right here forever. Because everything is changing, changing...

    Let us do that go ahead and do not come back! Are you ready?

    God bless you!

     

  • I made the mistake

    2008-05-06 11:41:44

    I always think that it's a piece of cake to me about my work. It's too simple to care it. However, I had made a serious mistake. I am always making careless mistakes these days. I couldn't forgive myself and I wonder what the monitor will say.

    Why? why 's that?  I asked to myself again and again, but I still can't explain why.  I don't like to make an excuse for myself.  

    I've got a lot on my mind. It's too badly....

    What can I do?  What  can I say?  I can't do anything and don't want to do anything. I only keep silent.

    I don't think I will do that again. This taught me a lesson.

  • Step by step

    2008-05-05 14:49:34

    I keep on write a diary everyday since I owned my blog. It has become part of my work.  I just love banging around on the computer and sharing my feeling with everyone around. I often read some articles full of striking thoughts, and then I will collect them.

    I don't know why I like English so much. Meantime, I must admit that I am just a beginner, frankly speak; I make mistakes when I write English, but I don't know where it was wrong. I hope you can correct my grammar if you found there are some mistakes in my blog. Thank you very much!

    In fact, I found English grammar very difficult for me when I started to learn it. I am weak in grammar, so I've been working hard at it.

    There was a old saying in China, "It's the first step that casts". Even though, I never give up hope that I speak English very well one day. I believe, where there is a will, there is a way!

    "Come on, babe! You can do it, and do it well." Wow, encouragement in the form of cheers from myself.
  • My Wish

    2008-05-03 11:11:42

    What a lovely day today! Also, I am in good mood. If you ask me "Why"? I can't express my feeling, I think. Maybe  my illness is about to have become better; Maybe the misunderstanding between my close friend and I has been deared up; Maybe today is a special day for me. Wow, the bitter day is far from me, I can see the sun again. Yeah, it's so bright!

    Is there something to congratulate? I say "yes". I must buy a present to myself and celebrate this special day. But my parents and good friends are not in my side, so they can't share with my happiness together. Never mind! I have myself, It's enough!

    Sundenly, I recall a words as follows: one is always on a strange road, watching strange scenery and listening to strange music... It's true, but I know, some people live in my heart and let me don't feel lonely.

    I am grown up now. I am glad and pround of myself. I am an optimistic and strong girl, althought I have tasted kinds of bitterness and sweetness. Finally, I am going on!

    Are there any stars tonight? A little girl wishes to a wish. Is it possible for her wish to be realized?

     

     

  • Right here waiting

    2008-05-02 17:40:03

    oceans apart day after day
    and i slowly go insane
    i hear your voice on the line
    but it doesnt stop the pain
    if i see you next to never
    how can we say forever
    whenever you go
    whatever you do
    i will be right here waiting for you
    whatever it takes
    or how my heart breaks
    i will be right here waiting for you
    i took for granted all the times
    that i thought would last somehow
    i hear the laughter i taste the tears
    but i cant get near you now
    oh cant you see it baby
    youve got me going crazy
    i wonder how we can survive
    this romance
    but in the end if im with you
    ill take the chance
    oh cant you see it baby
    youve got me going crazy
    waiting for you~

  • Days on My Past

    2008-04-30 11:05:41

    I recall when I was young. Oh I will play and always having fun
    With the neighbors next to me and we'll play until the setting sun
    Try to be the best among the others in a game call the "spider battle"
    It doesn't matter who is the best now. Those were the days of my past

    A few years later when I got to school and was late for lesson all the time
    Always day dreaming in the class, till I don't even know the lesson's done
    Then my teacher always tell me never ever be lazy again
    What can I do now? What can I say now? Those were the days of my past

    As the days go on and on I grew up and had my first love
    Candle light and sandy beach finally give away my first kiss
    Mother said I was too young to fall in love and then I will one day regret
    So love was over, but I do miss her. Those were the days of my past

    Just when I left my high school and got my first job as salesmen
    Working hard all day and night. No one there to lend a helping hand
    Daddy told me not to worry and said that l should go on step by step
    What can I say now? What can I do now? Those were the days of my past

    Then once day I settled down with the only one I really love
    Got a small family with two kids that is what I'm always hoping for
    But I still remember having fun with all my friends when I was young
    I miss my home town. I miss my old friends, those the days of my past
    Oh I miss my home town I miss my old friends. When will I see them again?
