blog 5：Isabella and Peng Haoxiang

Isabella is a name of a movie I watched several days before.
Isabella is a name of the main actress of this movie.
Isabella is a name of a role in the movie who acts the mother of the main actress.
Isabella is a name of a dog which the mother left with the daughter to remember her.
It is a movie directed by Peng Haoxiang who is a new director in Hong Kong but is also talented in making movies. Most of people who have watched his movies would say that he is the future of Hong Kong’s industry of moviemaking. At the beginning of his moviemaking career, his works stand out because there are many elements of black humour in them. The episodes which are smart and bring laughter to people are still talked about by many his fans. I began to get to know Peng Haoxiang by watching love in a puff which is the newest movie made by him. It is not a masterpiece, but I enjoyed it so much. I cannot think of any direct reasons to explain why I fall in love with his movies. All his movies are comfortable and have personally remarkable features. The features are not so strong but they are enough to show you something, to let you think about them and to offer you memories to enjoy after the movie watching.

Blog 6: Top ten sentences in ‘Beijing love stories’

1.    In fact, time is still, what is flowing away is ourselves.

2.    Falling in love with her or him with no reasons, the love gets deeper and deeper to the degree beyond life and death. If they care about lives, it must not be true love.

3.    Perhaps one day, my dream will be mauled heavily by a series of frustration, but it never shakes because I am firmly convinced it is right and I never stop.

4.    As long as you are willing, I will be there for waiting for you.

5.    At least, it should occur once in my life --- lose myself for someone, don’t care the result, don’t care whether or not we walk together, don’t care whether or not we have ever owned something, even don’t care whether or not she also loves me.

6.    Two persons, even if their birthdays, constellations do not match, as long as they love each other from the bottom of heart, nothing is important.

7.    What can be brought, you cannot keep it; what cannot be brought, no one can take it away.

8.    Let me count ‘one, two, three’, we walk in the opposite direction at the same time, never look behind.

9.    You were in New York, I was in Beijing, during the long time we separated from each other, the only thing I did was --- love you. How wonderful it will be if ‘love’ can be my career, I never leave early, never change my job forever, the term of office will be a lifetime. The most beatific job in the world is --- do your spouse.

10.    The tenth sentence is from the bottom of your heart. 

Blog 6:Do everything before hand

It's the first time I decide to write a blog on Monday, which is too early for me. I've always been having a bad habit of doing everything till the last minute. Last week I really suffered a lot from it and I think now it’s a time for me to make a change.

This regret started from handing in Essay 2. I failed to upload my essay to Turn It In thus I need to suffer the result of failing in this essay. If I hadn't written it I wouldn't feel this bad. The next morning I asked my classmate about this issue hoping to find someone like me to reduce my pain. However, all of them succeeded in uploading this essay. This comparison added to my regrets. During the last few days, I had quite a lot of time to finish this task, but I wasted too much of it watching music videos, chatting with my friends online. A life like this shouldn’t continue anymore.

Shortly after this, on Saturday, another sad thing happened. This Saturday we had our Checkpoint test on C programming and math. C programming got me stuck in an extremely low spirit. The night before this test I stayed up very late to solve all those questions I wasn’t clear about. To learn is a process to accumulate. Just like a huge building cannot be finished in one day, either can all the knowledge be absorbed just after one night’s hardworking. I still remembered last few days when I talked with Daquan about my lacking of passion in study since I came to Singapore, he said that it is really lucky for us to have a bridging course to adjust ourselves. Time is flying without being realized. No matter what the result might be, at least when I finished the courses I hope I could say I’ve done all what I can do confidently without hesitation. 

Wow~~ It seems that I’m wandering out of my topic. Whatever lah~ I hope I could control myself and get rid of this bad habit. 

Blog6 Make the ‘Earth Hour’ a habit

As we all know, on
the last Saturday in March every year, there is an activity called ‘Earth
Hour’. In 2012, it is on the 31st in March. It is held by
the World Wildlife Fund. Every year, hundreds of countries participate in this
world’s largest single campaign for our planet. The campaign starts by turning
off your lights for an hour during 8:30 p.m.to 9:30 p.m. It really benefits our
planet a lot.
With the biodiversity and the natural
habitats are disappearing at a greater rate than ever before and with the
climate-related extreme weather appears frequently, it is high time for the
world taking actions to raise people’s awareness to save the energy as well as
protect the environment. Though, it seems that our lives cannot change a lot
with the little action of ‘Earth Hour’. I think if the entire person has the
awareness to do something, we can virturely create a sustainable future for our
generation. It is obvious that we are depleting resources far faster than the
nature is replenished and during ‘Earth
Hour’, it converts us a message of hope and a message of action. “I will if you
will” is the slogan of 2012 ‘Earth Hour’, which really impresses me deeply for
it gives me a voice, a hope to work together with my compatriot to create a
better future.
On the 31st in March in
2012, I also participate in this activity with my roommates. During that time,
we turned off the entire electrical appliance in our room. We were in
dark then. At first, we feel not very adaptable to the circumstance, to break
the strange atmosphere, we talked about our interesting trivia in China. We
hadn’t talked deeply to each other like that night before. We even talked until
10:30p.m.which was beyond the limit time of ‘Earth Hour’. Finally, we slept
with full happiness. Instead of playing the computer games or playing the
mobile phone for many hours in the night, opening the hearts to each other is
really an original and simple activity, but the happiness it takes to me is far
more than the former. This action aware I to notice something more meaningful
and something deserved us to pursue. During the ‘Earth Hour’, I gained a lot.
Though some people said that we can save far
less compared with we are depleting. Even the action of turning off a working
machine suddenly, the instantly powerful electric current can do extremely harm
to the machine itself. Meanwhile, some celebrities want to enhance their reputation
from the action of protecting the environment, so they apply themselves to be
the representatives of the ‘Earth Hour’ by making some hypocritical
environmental show, which is meaningless and decent. So there appears some
voice against the ‘Earth Hour’. Though this kind of action really disappointed
many people. The final objective and belief of creating a sustainable future
won’t be changed. At least, I’ll keep the ‘Earth Hour’ as a habit, not only in
a frequency of yearly but monthly or promoting more.
I really have a strong curiosity about what
can be achieved when we all come together for a common cause, ‘Earth Hour
‘gives us a chance to dare the world to save the planet and we are in a
collective display of commitment to a better future. I truly want to appeal for
the ‘Earth Hour’. You can enjoy the hour, absorb its ramifications and savor
the simplicity. One action can make a difference to the world. I do hope we all
can make ‘Earth Hour ‘a habit to build a wonderful future.

Blog 5：the Mysteries of Tutankhamen

I am always interested in the mysteries all over the world. When I was in primary school, I read about Tutankhamen accidently in a book. From that time, I have been curious about him for many years. Every time a research or report was made on him, I was willing to read about it.

Tutankhamen was an Egyptian pharaoh of the 18^th dynasty. He became a pharaoh when he was only 9 years old and he died at the age of 19. Although he died when he was still young, he left us many mysteries.

One of the mysteries is about his death. At first, people thought that he died of a disease. But then, as the archaeologist found that there was a hole on his head, they deduced that he was murdered by a blow to his head. However, recently, the scientists have brought out an idea that Tutankhamen was badly ill, and he died of a disease that he had got ever since he was born. The hole on his head was not made by a blow, instead, it was made when making his body into a mummy. It is rather hard to say which deduction is correct.

In addition, another mystery about Tutankhamen is about his tomb. It is said that there is a curse in the tomb, which is named “Curse of the Pharaohs”. It was carved on the tomb, saying “Death will slay with its wings whoever disturbs the peace of the pharaoh.” Many archeologists who had come into the tomb died strangely. Some people believe that it was the curse that made them die, while others think that there was a virus or germ in the tomb that caused their death. However, the truth remains unknown.

Besides these two mysteries mentioned above, there are still many other mysteries about Tutankhamen, which made the young pharaoh enigmatic. They have attracted many people’s eyes and it is also the reason why I am so interested in him.

By the way, there are many unexplained mysteries in the world. An article, named “Unexplained Mysteries of the World”, has talked about the top 10 unexplained mysteries of the world; which are, Crop Circles, the Pyramids of Egypt, Bigfoot, UFOs and Area 51, the Belmez Faces, the Out of Body Experience, the Mayan 2012 Prophecy, Stonehenge, Loch Ness Monster and Bermuda Triangle. I think the article is very interesting and all the mysteries listed here are amazing! If you want to have further information of these mysteries, you may want to go to this website to read this article yourself: http://www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com/unexplained-mysteries.html. Hope you would enjoy it!

Blog5 : We are not the master but a part of the world

Today, all of us who have service learning went to the Singapore zoo. This is my first time to go there. It is different from the most of the zoos in China. In China, except some modern big zoos , others are just like big cages. All the animals are be limited in cold cages. However, the Singapore zoo is totally different. When I went into the Singapore zoo, it is just like I was visiting these animals' home instead of watching in a distance. One of the Xiangyu's blog showed an idea that "Living in harmony with nature". So I cannot stop keeping thinking. Sometimes we treat animals just like we are their masters even sometimes we act just like the master of the Mother Nature. In my opinion, we are all the same another animals. We all the part of the nature. Mother Nature gave humanbings best talent. We should try our best to make all the animals's life better instead of meaning to them just for a temporary comfortable life. Too some degree, other animals are kind of our sisters and brothers. When we pay more and more attention to human rights, should we care more about other animals. It is that we borrow the places of other animals instead of aggress them. Not only other animals but also the nature environment is also a matter which we should care more. The area of city is growing bigger and bigger while the forests are becoming smaller and smaller. We should not ignore the importances of any part of nature. So do not be a master any more, we are a part of nature. Do not regret before it is too late.

Blogger 5：Youth

    Today I read a passage on the Internet. It is written by a teacher focusing on how to spend our youth. At first, I thought that the teacher might just remind their students to make good use of time and put all their efforts into study just as what our teachers had told us in school. However, what he said is really beyond my expectation and has impressed me a lot.In the passage, he simply tells us to live our youth in what way we want.
    One day, one of his student who has graduated from school for many years wrote a letter to him to ask for his advice. Although the student performed very well in school and has a good job in a company, he still feels that he cannot get true happiness in his life and he even does not know the meaning of life despite the wealthy and successful life he is leading now. In the letter, he told his teacher that when he looked back on his youth he spent in his middle school and high school, all he could remember are study and the pressure put on him by his parents and teachers. After hearing this ,the teacher fell in deep thought: Is it right to ask all teenagers to spend all their time in study? Is it the only way to pass one's youth which is the most valuable period in one's life?
      It is undeniable to admit the significance of education but significance does not mean necessity. The teacher thought about the question which had also puzzled him for years.As last, he draw this conclusion: you have plenty of time to compensate for the crazy things you did in youth, so why not enjoy your youth by living an ideal life you like? Frankly speaking, such thinking has really shocked many netizens so people begin to think over the old topic: How should we spend our youth that we will not regret later in our life?
      As far as I am concerned, there is no absolute right answer for this question and it is extremely difficult to lead a life that one will not regret. In fact, all we could do is to make full use of our time we are spending now but not only spend it on studying. Do the things that you think is worth of the time and effort that you put in it.Although we have youth only once in life, we can keep young as long as our minds are energetic and full of fresh ideas. This is the life that I am looking forward to live.
