To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
学习东西，要懂得过滤，放弃乡音，等于歧视自己. -NameWee 黄明志
(We have to filter things we learn, take nuggets from the nonsense.
If we throw away our native accent, we are making discrimination on ourselves, on who and what we are.)

2010 Chinese New Year
Happy Chinese New Year, reader! Today, 13 February 2010, Chinese New Year had arrived once again. Goodbye, 2009 and the past whole decade, welcome, 2010. And we hope this would be a year better than the past. Glad to have lived to see the fireworks this midnight. Another year had passed, and I'm grateful to be given the chance to live another year! Thank God! Viva la vita! We live to fight another day, mates!

Advanced writing.
Genre
If you're writing something, you write it for a purpose. The purpose differs from one writer to another, and it determines the different style of composing your writings. That generic structure of your essay is what we call genre (jon-rey).
Story writing
When writing a story, you start in setting the orientations. That is- the who, where, what, when and how. Then you have to convey the events or the things happened to the readers. Continuously, you need to make the story complicated, that is to put a climax in the story, or in other words, produce a problem to be solved. The last thing you do is to give a resolution to the story. That's where you solve the problems you made up.
In short, the rules in composing an interesting story is to follow the flow.
Orientation, events, complications, resolution.
Relational Processes
The process may be an action, mental, verbal, relational or existential. When writing an essay, the processes are to classify, identify and to clarify possessions. As an example of an identification, read the sentence- Shrek is an ogre. The word 'is' is the process in the sentence exemplified. The identification of the things in a story is like saying- N is PM of Mal., where, N=PM of Mal.. Possessions are explained to the readers like this- Mr. X has a funny face. The word 'has' explains Mr. X's possessions.
So the whole thing would be like this- My sister is so crazy. She's the most loved person in my house and she has everything she wants.

Rainbow
The rainbow appears after the rain,
Winter arrives after spring;
Sympathies come only after disasters,
True wealth comes after bitterness;
Forgiveness comes after acceptance,
Understanding comes after you ponder.
A legend is a history of one that had done something no one had.
Be the one, and serve the world.
Do something big for the people,
So that they would remember you.
The biggest, most invaluable thing anyone can possibly have is to be remembered.
If I leave, I'm gonna leave something here.
"Remember us." said King Leonidas, before he sent his warrior back to Sparta. An order as simple as a king can give.
"Remember me..."
Remember the rainbow I've brought to you. Remember the pain I've brought to you.
Remember, that I was once here with you.

Values.
Finish the road you've chosen, even if you're walking on your knees.
(自己选择的路，跪着也要走完。)
The rainbow comes after the rain,
the spring comes after winter;
Gratefulness comes after the disaster,
true wealth comes after hardships. -CJ Han
(大雨过了，彩虹来了，
冬天过了，春天来了，
灾难过了，感恩来了，
穷苦过了，富贵来了。)
Heroes don't do different things,
they just do things differently.
Tears fall for a reason,
they shed to make view clearer,
and let us see what is ahead of us,
and make us aware of what we're going after.
It's the attitude that matters, not the aptitude that determines your altitude.
We ain't gonna live life twice, you know what I'm sayin',
so live life boldly as it meant to be like that. Don't do something that would have you regretful, 'cause life's too short for any sorrow.
Make a man a fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of the day,
Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
"Make yourself a legend,
and the world your legacy." -CJ Han

Valentine's Day (Linkin Park)
My insides all turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path had lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you're gone, and I was wrong
I never knew what it was like, to be alone
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path had lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer

And the ground below grew colder

But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you're gone, and I was wrong
I never knew what it was like, to be alone
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day

On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day

Dad : You are almost ready to be entrusted with the secret ingredient of my secret ingredient soup. And then you will fulfill your destiny and take over the restaurant just as I took it over from my father who took it over from his father who won it from a friend in a game of mahjong.
Po : Dad, dad,dad, it was just a dream.
Dad : No, it was THE dream. We are noodle folk. Broths run though our veins.
Po : But dad, didn't you ever... I dunno... wanna do something else? Something besides noodles?
