The Leaning Tower of Pisa. Wings for a picture.


The Leaning Tower of Pisa
This picture tells about the leaning tower of Pisa in Italy. The leaning tower of Pisa is the bell tower of a chapel, and it is made of white marble. Galilei operated his famous science experience on the tower. On the left is a four stories white chapel whose style is Gothic style. You can see many pillars on the top of it. In the middle are the famous leaning tower of Pisa and the main figure of this picture. A red flag is put on top of the tower. The tower has many pillars, and it is about seven stories. It is leaning quite a bit, and it continues leaning, so the government decided to rescue the “leaning” tower. A protection is constructed at the bottom of the tower. The man is leaning while he took the picture, because he thought that it looks cool to be leaning as the tower does. There is green grassland between the tower and the man, and it must be well cared, because it looks so green and tidy. The man stands quite far from the tower so that he could seem to be taller than the tower. On the bottom of the picture is a walkway which the man and the other visitors stand upon. They are talking and taking pictures happily. On the right are some houses of brown and orange which the walkway leads to. They contradict to the tower and the chapel. This picture is a comparision between ancient and modern architecture, and the man makes fun of this old leaning tower. Pretty interesting the picture is.

How to Go to See a Doctor in Taiwan. Wings for cure.

How to Go to See a Doctor in Taiwan
Outline
Introduction: The relation between patients and doctors.
Main text: Steps to go to see a doctor.
Conclusion: The necessity to see a doctor.
Article:
When we get sick, we had better go to see a doctor for remedies. Doctors acquire medical knowledge and techniques to take care of patients. The relationship between patients and doctors is very different from the past, while doctors went to patients home to cure them. Nowadays, it changed a lot. Suppose that you catch a cold. How to go to see a doctor for cure in Taiwan?
Take Chang Gung Memorial Hospital for example. First, find out which department you have to go to, and make a reservation on the Chang Gung Memorial Hospital’s website. If you don’t make a reservation first, you might have to wait for a long time. Second, take your health insurance card with you and go to the doctor’s place earlier than your appointment time. The doctor is always busy and can’t wait for you. Next, register at the counter. After that, find a seat and wait for your turn to see the doctor. When you see the doctor, tell the doctor your pain and discomfort. The doctor will take some simple examination and write the prescription. After the appointment, wait for a while to take your medicine and pay for the fee. Finally, go home and follow the doctor’s instruction and go back to have the doctor checked if necessary.
Health takes an important role in our lives. We often find ourselves too late and busy for prevention. Doctors are here to help you fight against the disconfort. Though go to see a doctor in Taiwan is easy and cheap, it is better to prevent uncomfort in advance than get sick and ask for doctor’s help.

My classmate. Wings for classmate.


My classmate Ginger and the money.
Ginger, my classmate, is a 19-year-old girl. She lives in the most prosperous Taipei city and graduated from Taipei First Girls High School. Reading novels, practicing martial arts, and watching animations are her hobbies. Her favorite types of music are classical music and rock-and-roll, which I think a little strange. She travels a lot, so she can know more about the world and meet new people. To my surprise, this knowledgeable girl has no religion.
Ginger likes biology experiment and chemistry experiment best in senior high school. I see her illustrating objects carefully, and her reports are finely written in details. She is in love with Chinese literature. She is always accompanied with a book whenever I see her. Not only does she study well, but she also excels at sports. Running and swimming are her favorites. She is sometimes a little bit crazy. Can you believe that she once ran into school in bare foot?
She works hard and is responsible for her duty. Her passion for language learning is huge. She is also an excellent athlete. She let me think of Leonardo Da Vinci. I can say that she is a combination of a scholar, an athlete, and an artist.

An interaction with senior high. Wings for people in Hualien


The four school players and the Hualien Senior High
After a good night sleep, we were ready to go to Hualien Senior High for our summer camp advertisement. Hualien Senior High was a elegance and primitive school. The gentle wind blew from the sea, bringing a little salty smell to greet us. The buildings were less than three stories, giving us a broad and open feeling. A quick and brief preparation and relaxation were made before we got into the classroom.
Students of Hualien Senior High were totally different from those of big cities. They were amiable and primitive as the school, and they wanted to listen to our introduction. This was a fairly good chance to practice our speech ability. As we went through classes and try to speak something, a bit of confidence grew in our mind gradually. We went to their classes at their break time, taking about three to five minutes each class. Our break time was their class time. We went to guidance office and had a rest.
A teacher there invited us to address a speech to the students of the first grade. Because they had to choose which subject they should major in, we were asked to share our experience. Not prepared in advance, we did our best to tell everything that came into our mind. Vincent said a lot of things and behaved very well. I was pretty amazed by his performance.
A tiring morning was end rapidly, and so was our journey to Hualien. I really appreciated Hualien’s broad roads and charming seaside. Vincent’s hospitality was so supreme, giving me a wonderful memory. If one day anybody wants to come to Taichung and play, I hope I can treat them as Vincent did. That’s what hospitality are for.

Fairytale night. Wings for fireflies


The night view of Liyu Lake
The Journey had not yet finishhed. Have you ever seen fireflies? Beware! A series of surprise had just gegun. Vincent’s father took us to Liyu Lake. As we silently walked into the darkness of the forest, the little fairies were just about to perofrm their magic, attracting our view. On the both sides of the trail, I saw some little green lights gleaming in the darkness.
After a ten minutes walk, we strode into the center of the forest. All the fireflies suddenly appered and flew among the trees. Can you imagine the stars in the universe fall onto the ground? They were so close that I could reach them easily. I hold this magic little thing in my hand gentlely, making wishes. It seemed to understant what I thought and waited patiently on my palm. Then, it carried my wishes away and flew into the sky. Finally, the magic fairies waved good-bye and good night to us. I’ve never seen so many fireflies before. It was really my fortune that this fireflies lasted only for a couple of weeks in a year, and we were on time for this.

A Quest of Destiny. Wings for the Big Exam- BC test


The door of the classroom in TCFSH. A lady is welcoming you.
Three years from now, I was there……
BC test is a test every junior high school student should take in order to go to his or her ideal senior high. I was quite nervous at that time because I lacked the experience joining a big test like this before. This Saturday I went to Taichung First Senior High(TCFSH), which held BC test this day and the following day.
Once I got there, the students filled all the walkway and ready to take the final subject of this day. As I passed through them, their happily chat gave me a sense of vigor, passion, and excitement in their mind. I suddenly had a familiar feeling when I heard them dicussing questions of the up-coming subject. I was doing the same thing three years form now. I could still remember clearly that my best friend, Sean, and I encourage each other by shaking hads before the exam.
The bell rang. Students entered the classrooms eagerly to take the exam, leaving the empty and silent walkways. I knew that beneath this silence was a breathtaking battle between all students taking part in the exam. I couldn’t stant this atmosphere and quickly walked away from the test court. The scratching sound made by pencils continued, and so did the battle……

A Journey to Hualien. Wings for Taroko


The four isolators. Hihwic(Left) Vincent(Middle left) Me and Doctor Chicken(Right)
The wonder and amazement got its pays. After a delicious breakfast, we were out of strength. I lay on the sofa and couldn’t move a muscle for three hours. The warm sun was failed to deliver any power to us. It was about 11:00 when I regain my conscious. In the afternoon, Vincent’s father took us to the famous Taroko National Park.
It was my first time to visit there. The first thing that I saw were high stple mountains with white cutton-like clouds lingered on them. Birds streched their wings and glide in the vallies. The lingered clouds seemed like spider webs, ready to catch my curious heart. Vincent and his father led us to walk a trail along the river. The trail was one to two stories above the riverbank. We passed through small tunnels, encountering falling stones and a big snake! A very splended journey it was. The water was so clear that I saw fish and moss in the river. Ocean blue decorated the deep area of the stream. The five of us took off our shoes and walk on the riverbank. Huge rocks and hurry flow made it difficult to get through. We also steeped in the water, feeling the coolness and calmness that the nature provides. Soft wind blew through our cheeks and took our bad mood away. We looked at each other, the wet and weary but full of joyness creatures. We laugh out loud. We were completed isolated and bathed in this saint place. Our minds were clear due to the pureness not only Gaya but also our fellows gave us. The night secretly occupied the sky while we were stepping home.

Total Captured. Wings for prisoners.

(Later, in Tom’s office)
“So, why did you try to escape?” Tom asked.
“Now you have me, you’re in charge here. But I’m not going to tell any thing,” Henry replied with anger.
“Wu, attitude. I’ve never saw a man like you. Chris, bring them in,” Tom ordered.
Soldiers brought out four people.
“Sam! Tony! John! Bill! Why are you here?!” Henry shouted.
“Ha! Ha! I have already thought that you would try to escape, so I had blocked all the exits,” Tom laughed.
All of a sudden, Henry pulled out his Quantum sword and swung it at Tom.
“Wu, action,” Tom said.
He then pulled out his Quantum sword and started to fight with Henry. The Quantum sword was held by a group of people called Blade Blazers. They had a very power to operate the sword. Normal people were not able to use it. Its blade contained the highest energy of the whole universe- the quantum energy. This energy made the sword to cut down anything it had touched. Henry struck fiercely, but Tom was able to defense himself. They fought for nearly ten minutes. Suddenly, Tom pushed Henry and let him fell.
“Ha! Ha! I’m going to kill you,” Tom said, raising his Quantum sword and trying to split Henry.

Radiance. Wings for song


Check this website to have a quick MV of this song.
http://www.starshipoperatorsdvd.com/trailer.html

Radience
広がる空に 無数の星屑 輝かせて
潤んだ瞳 映し出してる
いつも 歩くこの道 変わらぬ町並み
退屈な日々なら 今走り出そう
この青く高い空 広い世界 この世のすべてのモノ
自分の手で 動かせると 信じてるの
行こう!
幼きあの日 描いていた 夢に向かって
握る手 伝わるぬくもり 感じて
たどり着く場所は
きっと誰にも 味わえない 未来だから
今、駆け出す まだ見ぬ明日へと
あてのない旅 止められない時 戻れなくて
乗り込んだ船 すべてゆだねた
どこまでも続く軌道(みち) 広がる宇宙(うみ)
僕らの果て無き希望
叶うはずと 高鳴る胸 感じてるの
飛ぼう!
大空に乗る 鳥のように 両手広げて
時には たたんだ翼を 休めて
空が晴れる頃
さわやかな風 柔らかな陽 包み込まれ
今、飛び立つ また来る明日へと
熱い 思いが 膨らむ
今しか出来ない 後戻りはしない!
行こう!
幼きあの日 抱いた夢 空に描いた
青空 今も変わらずに 見つめて
たどり着く場所は
きっと誰にも 味わえない 未来だから
今、駆け出す また来る明日へと
輝く瞳(め)の中に この瞬間 ほら
映し出して ずっと・・・ ほら・・・

It is really a exciting song, and the video is excellent, too.
This animation is about a group of people who operate the starships in space.
I really love science fiction.

A toy, a weapon, a legend. Wings for Gunpla.



My favorite Gundam Wing Zero (The top) and Strike Freedom Gundam (The bottom)
It has the mobility ot fly high in the sky and sneak deep in the sea. It’s aremor is so strong that normal strike is useless. It’s firepower is so supreme that it culd destroy a huge space ship. It is the so called Gundam.
Gunpla is a plastic model of Gundam. The ratio between Gunpla and Gundam is about 1:100. After you bu one box of Gunpla, you need to “build” it. All you have to do is follow the instructions and put the small parts together. It takes concentration and space order sense to make a Gunpla. It’s quite fun and exciting actually.
My brother and I have built many kinds of Gundam: Heavy Arm, Death Sythe, Tallgeese, Wing Zero, Strike Freedom. My favorite Gunpla is Wing Zero, which nicknamed Angel Gundam. It has four angel-like wings and an elegant shape. A green ball on its chest is its features. I love its tow large beam rifles, which could blas a space ship with one shot.
Building Gunpla, to be honest, is a kind of adoration to stenth and power. It also develops your space order sense. Gunpla, to me, is a passion, a masterpiece, and a living creature.

A Journey to Hualien. Wings for the golden way.


The two man and the sea.
Seven Stars Pound was a beach filled with oven-shaped stones and the scary tide. We met the rising of the tide. What’s so scary was that the sea wave would eat away the coastline. We had to be very careful to prevent the water from spilling on our shoes and socks. Once I stood on the edge of the coastline, and suddenly there came a huge wave and my whole feet were in water before I had any chance to fun. The wave would drag away the foundation of the stones, making a specific sound. The coastline was moveable, and it was alive.
The sky became brighter gradually while the sun crouched beneath the sea. All of a sudden, a beam of sunshine flashed straight into my eyes. The sun began to climb up above the sea level bit by bit. Minutes later, the round shaped sun was fully seen, saying good morning to the world. The cozy light made every one of our faces yellow and a golden road on the surface of the sea. The cotton-like clouds were colored yellow and made themselves a pair of wings, ready to take off to the heaven. With joy and amazement, we return to Vincent’s home.

The last escape. Wings for prison.

(In the prison of The Snake Star)
“I thought that our base was gone,” Henry said in sadness.
“Sir, Jack has landed on Mars. We must escape as soon as possible. We can’t make him wait for too long,” a soldier requested.
“Ok! Now, I want you to get out this jail. I’ll find out what the hell is going on with Tom,” Henry ordered.
“But Sir, Tom might just kill you. I mean, just be careful. You are our only hope,” the soldier said worriedly.
“Don’t worry. I am a Blade Blazer, remember? My skill with the Quantum sword is perfect. Besides, God will help us,” Henry said.
Then they discussed on an escape plan. They climbed out the window of that prison, and soon they were standing in the hallway.
“Now, I’ll go and find Tom. You try to escape. Whatever happens, don’t stop. Just head for Jack’s rocket,” Henry said.
Then they spread out. Henry left for Tom’s office. He hid behind a wall and looked at the narrow hallway carefully.
“Freeze!” Tom said.
“Uh-oh!” Henry whispered.
“Bring him into my office. I want to know how this son of the bitch got out of that goddamn prison,” Tom said.

Encounter in Space. Wings for my favorite picture


A legend between two Gundam and their pilots.
A battle against all evil, where justice fills our heart.
Strike freedom and Wing Zero.
David and Herro.
Let us fight together and encounter in space.

A met with Jude Law

What was he thinking about?

Well, this men really looks like Jude Law. I promise. I met him at the food stand near CG memorial hospital.

A sweet Moment. Wings for Mother’s Day.

My mom and I at a restaurant in Hsinchu
Taking the bus back home, I just couldn’t wait to meet my beloved mother, who loves me and protects me very much. I thought of those old but fresh pieces of memory. How Mom worrys about my grade in school? How she calls me everyday and shares joy and sadness with me? How she saves every penny to support three sons? My appreciation laid deeply in my soul and was about to let go its energy.
My mom came to me right after I entered home, and we threw our arms together as a connection of our hearts. We kissed each other on the cheeks as a covalence bound of our soul. Words were unnecessary because a gentle and passionate embrace was enough.
A story told that a wealthy man washed his mother’s feet on Mother’s Day. He found out the hardship his mom had paid to raise him. His mother’s feet were all wrinkles. I had an inspiration from the story. I immediately took a washbasin with warm water and a clean towel toward Mom. She was amazed and smiled when I told her that I wanted to wash her feet. I discovered that her feet were strange in shpae and all wrinkles, too.
How heavy the burden she had taken for so many years? The hardship was too huge to imagine. I was so lucky to be a son of hers.
Mom, let the bitterness and tears melts in the water. I hope I can make you happy for the rest of your life.

The fierce battle. Wings for combat

(On Earth) Three Elephant Tanks left for Henry’s base. Five armies of soldiers followed behind. Then were the Turtles, which carried the next group of soldiers. The black Eagle airplane also entered the war.
“Send some supermen to defeat them. Get ready for evacuating. Then fire all the atom bombs,” Jack ordered.
After launched all the missiles, the rocket fleet were about to take off.
“Ok, launch all the fleet,” Jack commanded.
Five rockets lifted up into space.
“Sir! Their Xs are coming to strike us,” the soldier said.
He stood by the view window. The rockets were all cargo ship. None of the fighters were available to fight against the Xs. The pilots of Xs all pulled the triggers. Laser bullets like bees squirt into rocket number four.
“Oh, no! Number four rocket was on fire,” a soldier said.
All of a sudden, Number four rocket exploded. The men in the rocket were blown out of it, being pieces.
“Look, our base is full of flames,” a soldier said.
“Bye, Earth. We’ll come back and destroy all Tom’s goddamn troops,” Jack said with sorrow.
Soon, every rocket was out of Xs’ fire range.
“Boys, we all feel sorry for the boys who had sacrificed their lives. Number 2, 3, and 5. You go for Centaurus alpha System, Eagle Star. We’ll build up our new forces there. Now, get ready for a Hyper-space trip,” Jack ordered.
Ten minutes later, rockets number 2, 3, and 5 had gone. There was just one rocket left and it got ready to land on Mars.

A Journey to Hualien. Wings for the seven stars. Part three

The silent night of Seven Star Pound
The door closed, and the train started to turn its wheels and also the tip of the clock. It is like a time shuttle, taking me through many amazing scenery slices. With the rolling of the train, I close my eyes in this night-passing cradle.
After a long cruse at night, I finally got to Hualien, greeting my classmates. They rode bicycles to get me. We had three men but only two bicycles. We strode freely to Vincent’s home. T downtown Hualien isn’t as crowded as Taipei. The cars are much less and drivers don’t sound the horn, making the broad roads moderate for pedestrians and bicyclists. We went to the seaside to listen to the silent wave making its mysterious performance and to see how a port works. In the dark night, they used light as a communication tool. The lights shine like the stars in heaven in many colors, proving their lonely existence. The true stars had already waited for us, decoration the sky with myths and fantasies. The Scorpios’ heart was the brightest and the whole Scorpio could be seen clearly.
It was about 1:00 when we got to Vincent’s home. Before I closed my eyes on the bed, I heard them said that they would wake me up at 4:00 and go to Seven Stars Pound(七星潭) to see the sunrise.

Friday, May 4, 2007

The final order- The great retreat. Wings for communication.

(At the prison in The Snake Star) “Sir! Sir! Can you hear me?” a soldier asked Henry. “Yeah, what?” Henry asked. “I received a message just now. It said that the Earth was all occupied by Tom except our military base,” the soldier said. “Really? Can I make contact with them?” Henry asked. “I’ll do my best,” the soldier replied.
(Ten minutes later)
“Sir, the phone is available,” the soldier said with joy.
“Hello! Is that Jack?” Henry asked.
“Goddamn. It’s good to hear your voice. We lost a lot of units. Tom’s forces are too strong. We’ll lose the base,” Jack said.
“All right. Evacuate the men. Tell all my boys that we’ll fight back and kick their goddamn ass,” Henry shouted angrily.
“Send my boys to Eagle Star. It’s in the Centaurus alpha System. Take this note: Remember to leave a space ship for us on Mars. We’ll manage to escape and get to it. Jack, our lives depend on you,” he continued.
“As you wish, my lord,” Jack replied.

A Reflection of First Knight. Wings for movies


We all know the story of King Arthur and his knight. I saw a movie talking about this- First Knight, characterized by Sean Conery, and Richard Gere. This movie tells the romance between Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot. The story is filled with friendship, loyalty, and love.
We all know that King Arthur discovers the love between the two people. There are many films discussing how the three people deal with this situation. This movie gave a kind of heroic resolution. A bad guy named Malagant strikes the kingdom, Camelot, of King Arthur. Though King Arthur is threatened by him, King Arthur chose to fight instead of surrender. Malagant is killed by Sir Lancelot, but King Arthur also sacrificed his life. In the end of the movie, King Arthur forgives Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot. He also receives the love from Queen Guinevere and dies in peace. Sir Lancelot takes up his kingdom and becomes a great leader.
The whole movie puts a lot of details talking about the mind of Sir Lancelot. How he becomes a fearless man? How his sword skill is so supreme? The costumes and the settings of the battle are beautiful and amazing. The swords and the shields are gleaming like the sun. It is a good movie to see and I want to see it many times.

A Journey to Hualien. Wings for train. Part two

A Lazy Rest At the Hope Fountain
Taking a train was a new experience to me, though I had took it before. It was about 16:00 when I got to Taipei Train Station. I walked straight to the information desk and asked how to buy a ticket and how to take the train. My train was 1069 train which embarked at 19:28. Wow! I had to wait three hours and a half to get on the train. My friend suggested that I should go back to the counter and check if somebody gave up his seat. I got a ticket for an earlier train, still had to wait two hours and a half.
At 18:20, the platform 4 was waiting desperately for the train and me to come. It was an underground platform which felt like an MRT station for me. But the unstoppable noise roared while the train came in and out of the station. The symphony confused me. We are all passers-by to this terminal, so as to the world. We leave nothing but memory and footprints. The empty station consisted of many pieces of memory. The old track is renewed by my arrival while the train ran through.

The hidden trap. Wings for arrest.

(One day later)
“Sir, we have contact them successfully. They are now on Mars. Their captain is not an alien but a human. He can speak English. They invite us to talk with them face to face,” the soldier reported.
“Ok, let’s go and visit this friend,” Henry said.
(Two hours later, they had arrived on Mars) They were standing on Mars. Kwa! Kwa! Kwa!
“Freeze, don’t move!” a man shouted.
Henry saw hundreds of soldiers surrounding them.
“Wait a sec. What’s going on?” Henry confused.
“Ha!Ha!HA! I thought you used to be smart, but you aren’t anymore,” a man said with a laugh.
“Who are you? Is this the way you greet your guest?” Henry shouted.
“Greet you? No. No. No. Greet the goddamn you. Try to look at me again? Don’t you remember me? ” the man said.
Henry looked at the man, wondering who the man was.
“Oh! You are General Chern’s only child, Tom,” Henry remembered.
“Not bad, my friend. Chris, take this goddamn murderer away. I don’t want to see him,” Tom ordered.
(At the prison in The Snake Star)
“Sir! Sir! Can you hear me?” a soldier asked Henry.
“Yeah, what?” Henry asked.
“I received a message just now. It said that the Earth was all occupied by Tom except our military base,” the soldier said.
“Really? Can I make contact with them?” Henry asked. “I’ll do my best,” the soldier replied.

A Journey to Hualien. Wings for train. Part one

A seaside of the night in Hualien
With the bus door closed, I was on a long amazing journey to Hualien. I went to Hualien to visit my classmate, Vincent, and his senior high school. My plan was that I took the bus to Taipei Train Station, and then took a train to Hualien. It took me about an hour and a half to get to Taipei. I don’t know how long it would take to get to Hualien because I am still on the train right now.
On the bus to Taipei, a pretty girl sat beside me, making me very nervous. She sat there very quietly as if she had fallen asleep for a long while. The warm yellow sunset fall upon her face and she looked cuter. Don’t say that I ever blushed, it is because of the sun. Half an hour later, it was about time to say good-bye. It was really a pity that the time was so short. Einstein’s theory of relativity was right. An hour with a pretty girl is much shorter than a minute on fire.

The Phantom Menace. Wings for crisis

Chapter 2 Escape from The Snake Star
Ten years after it. Henry’s troop was assigned by the government to protect the Earth. One day, a soldier found something flying on the far edge of the solar system.

“Sir, There are unknown objects coming toward us. If they maintain their speed, they’ll arrive on Earth in 24 hours,” he reported in urgent.
Henry thought back to years ago. When he was a little boy, he once answered a strange phone call:
Years ago, Henry was a student. One day when he was about to go to school, the phone rang. Henry picked up the phone.
“Warning! Warning!” a man’s voice coming from the phone.
“Hello! This is Henry,” Henry replied.
“The Snake Star is attacking us. We’ll all be killed. Retreat,” the strange man said.
“What? What are you talking about? (The phone hung up)……. Hello? Hello?” Henry shouted.
He wondered the strange call and a strange name-The Snake Star-. He looked up the words at the school library. One science book said that The Snake Star is a space ship for the aliens of Wo. The ship looks like a snake. It can move faster than light speed.
“It’s The Snake Star. Try to contact them. I don’t want any conflict against the aliens,” Henry commanded.

The Angel Swept It's Wings. Wings for the atomic bomb.


(At the crocodiles) “General. Hung isn’t destroyed very completely,” Johnny said. “Ok, fire the Zeus cannon again,” General Chern requested. “The Zeus cannon will be ready in ten minutes.”
(Five minutes after, on the fighters) “Pay attention, everyone. This will be our last battle. We will win at any price. Leave no mercy to the enemy. Though I can feel your fear taking heart from me, I feel scared, too. Someday we may fall, but it is not this day. Someday we may lose courage, but it is not this day. So, pick up your weapon. Let’s burn their ass,” Henry shouted. He then sent the Eagles to destroy that big cannon as possible as they can. F-16s were sent to fight against The Crocodiles’ aircrafts. Henry and Tim went to throw the Atomic bomb.
“God, help me to win the battle,” Henry prayed. “No, you aren’t going to win the battle,” Tim said. “What? What are you talking about?” Henry wondered. “You’ll never defeat General Chern. HaHaHaHa!” Tim laughed. “What?!? You are? You are a spy, aren’t you?” Henry asked. “Ah! You are smart. We are not friends now. We are enemy. You know? Enemy we are. And I’ll kill you,” Tim said. They started to fight. Henry looped and spiraled upward. Tim twisted and doubled through the dark space. Henry chased him. He strafed Tim. Tim was brought down by Henry. “Tim, why have you changed?”
(At The Crocodiles center) “The Zeus cannon is ready to fire,” the computer reported. General Chern hit the fire button. 10….9….8….
(On the fighter) “Everybody! We’ll fall back. The bomb has been thrown,” Henry commanded.
5….4….3….2….1….Bang!
Guess what? It was the Atomic bomb which had exploded. The Zeus cannon had been destroyed completely, so as The Crocodiles. Henry won the battle. They went back to earth safe and sound. The Earth had been saved.

Mission of Bombing-The First Combat. Wings for Zeus Cannon


The Zeus Cannon is ready to fire.

“Sir, I found a lot of enemy planes on the radar.” A soldier said. “He is coming! Now, ring the alarm. Get ready for the battle station,” Henry ordered. Wu~~~~~! Wu~~~~~~! The alarm rang. All the soldiers got ready in a few minutes. “Sir, we’re ready to take off.” Dozens of F-16s and Eagle got to the air. They were fighting against the Xs and Ys. The rival leader signaled for attack. They were at ten thousand feet above the Earth. Eight F-16s flew up. The bullets were all around the sky. “Oh! I’m hit.” One Henry’s soldier died. “Copy Gold leader. Their forces are getting broken.” Johnny said. Five F-16s circled around. Then three Xs dived. They were into a dogfight. Two F-16s went down in flames. Henry’s machine gun jammed. Left him at the mercy of his foe. He ejected out of the plane. “Everybody, retreat. Get on the space shuttles.” Henry ordered. It seems that General Chern won. “The Zeus cannon has finished,” the Zeus cannon operator said. “Ok! Fire at will.” General ordered. “The Zeus will be ready in ten minutes,” the computer said. “What? I thought it can fire at any goddamn time. Now I realized that it has to warm up,” General Chern said in depress.
“All set?” Henry asked. “Ok! Ready to go at anytime,” a soldier replied. “Where’s Dr. David? I must find him.” Henry said worriedly. “Oh! No time for that. We have to take off immediately,” Tim said. “No, I’ll go and find him,” Henry requested. Suddenly, there was a light came from the sky. “Oh! No! The Zeus cannon has fired, lift up the rockets right now,” Tim said and pressed the button. 10….9….8….7….6….5….4….3….2….1! All the space shuttles got to the air. The light landed on the Earth. The fire were everywhere on the ground.
(Later at the moon) “Dr. David was gone. What am I supposed to do?” Henry said in desperate. “Sir, there’s a phone call for you,” a soldier said. “Hello, this is Dr. David.” “David! You’re still alive. Where the hell are you?” Henry shouted. “I’m in the combat center in Houston. Listen! We don’t have much time. The Zeus cannon will fire at anytime. You have to throw the Atomic bomb to The Crocodiles’ control center. I’ll transmit you a map. Just be careful. I’ll see you soon,” Dr. David requested. “As you wish, buddy. All right, everybody. Let’s kick their ass,” Henry ordered.

Chapter 1 Mission of Bombing
“Hi. Sir, Dr. David is coming.” A soldier said. “Ok, I hope he can be here as soon as possible.” Henry replied. (Dr. David came in the office) “Hello, commander. I have a report,” Dr. David said. “Fine, go ahead.” Henry said. “According to our spy, the crocodiles will attack us in a few days. Our forces can’t beat them. We must use our secret weapon.” Dr. David said. “Sure! What’s that?” Henry asked. Dr. David continued “I haven’t finished it. I name it- Atomic Bomb. I put two pieces of plutonium-239 on the sides of the missile. Then use chemical explosive to let two pieces get tighter. There’s a supercritical mass of plutonium results in a nuclear explosion.” “Good. Quickly finish the bomb. I can’t wait.” Henry said in excitement.
(At the moon) “When can we attack that goddamn Hung?” General Chern asked. “You mean? Destroy all of the Henry’s forces! It already set, but there’s a problem,” Johnny replied. “Our final weapon- Zeus cannon hasn’t been finished yet,” he continued. “Yeah! What a powerful weapon. But why? Why do we have to use it?” General Chern wondered. “Well, there base can’t be destroyed without that fucking cannon.” Johnny replied. “Ok. Tell everybody the plan, especially the spy. I can’t wait for my victory to come.” I hope you will enjoy the story.

Tomb sweeping day. Wings for burning.

Getting stuck in the huge traffic jam in the morning, I felt nervous instead of being annoyed. After a year long separation, I finally got a chance to meet my ancestors.
It just gave me a feeling of what family really means. When we got there, my grandma was already waiting eagerly for our arrival. I chatted with her in my very poor Taiwanese.
She seemed excited and asked me about my school life. We just had too much to talk about. I am lucky to have such a caring grandmother.
In the afternoon, we packed up our offerings and farm tools, leaving for the graveyards.
The journey was hard all the way, because we had to walk over long weeds and soft mud which became wet after the rain.
Weeds grew over our ancestors’ graves, and the carved tomb stones were covered with waterproof mud, which I found to be an ants’nest.
The ants were so smart to use waterproof mud to make their nest. After we clear all the weeds off the tomb, we displayed offerings and burned some incense.
I picked three incense sticks, walked to the front, and started to prey. I prayed that the world would be peaceful, that I could excel at my school work,
and that I would have a nice girlfriend soon. Next, we burned the “gold paper” (money for the dead.) I asked why we had to fold the paper before throwing it into the flames.
My father told me that folded paper provided more space with air for the fire to burn. I was amazed at the custom and the wisdom of the ancestors.
We also lit cigarettes for some of them because they loved to smoke when they were alive. The papers were burned to ash gradually,
and so was our love and respect paid to our ancestors. As the ash was blown away by the wind, I could feel the satisfaction form both the ancestors and their descendents.
After a long day work, my uncle told me that our ancestors first inhabited in Hsu-Chang(許昌,河南). Then they moved to An-Shi(安溪,福建).
In Chin dynasty they moved to Taiwan due to bad economic condition in Fu-Chang(福建). After moving to Taiwan, they settled down in Chang-Hwa(彰化).
Our ancestors worked very hard so that we could live in comfort now. I think tomb sweeping day is a meaningful day to show our appreciation for them,
and it tells that we should not forget what they have done.

A cruse at night. Wings for the tracks.

The night is getting dark. Yet the street lights are getting lighter. Cold wind starts to blow my hair. I tie up my shoes and embark the journey, because I am here for a jog. I prefer a comfortable jog under the starry night in TungHai University.
Unfortunately, the sky is covered with clouds, and the ground is a little bit wet. No star can be seen, no fresh air can be breath. All I see is the grey sky, and all I breathe is the moldy air. I trail down the track, alone. No body is there, and no voice can be heard. Everything becomes silent. The track seems to say something, but it keeps quiet still. My heartbeats and foot steps whisper beside my ears. The wind fall asleep, and the tip of the clock stops.
Nothing accompanied me except your shadow. I run to every where to look for you, but in vain. All I can find is the endless darkness in front of me. I can smell you, hear you, and see you, but I just can’t feel you. Where are you? The time’s scythe splices my memory into pieces, and there is no way to stop it. I am out of breath chasing and calling your name. Your image is too huge, but I just can’t feel you. After I run for a long time, I find myself in front of a big forest. It is the forest that you say goodbye to me. Darkness and silence surround me, and I get drowned in your image. My hope is fading, but I will wait for you till the time’s scythe takes away my life.
The journey is over after I cross the finish line. I pick up my jacket and leave for home. As I look up in the sky, I see there is a star shining brightly in the sky. The clouds smile so happily that I know I will have a good dream tonight.

A met with YAN-ZI SUN. Wings for stars


It came out all in a sudden. When I finished my lunch and stepped out of the student cafeteria, guess who I had met? It was YAN-ZI SUN, a famous pop star. Though I was not her fan, I still felt excited and special.
She was here for filming a new MV for her new song. To my surprised, she was not tall enough as I had thought. Instead, she was very tiny. She was so small that I first regarded her as a filming crew member. I stood there and watched her filming the same section twice. This told me that making an MV wasn’t easy as it seemed. To make the scene perfect, the whole crew must take care of every detail and make no mistakes. I knew it because I had edited a short film before. It was very hard and time consuming.
What you see is not what you saw. The beautiful face you saw was made up by people. In real life, it is not that perfect. But for entertainment, it has to be like this.

A Trip to NTNU's night market. Wings for the night.




On Tuesday night, my senior and I went to National Taiwan Normal University to buy some art goods. It was a normal busy Taipei night, and everything seemed to fly from here to there. Fist we took the MRT station to Taiwan University to do some bagatelles. The MRT passed through station by station, giving me the feeling that time and tide really wait for no man.
After things were done, my senior suggested that we went to NTNU’s night market to have dinner. I have already heard that it is a good place for tasting delicacies. The night market was near NTNU, and I envied so much that students in NTNU can have delicacies every night. The streets of the night market were full of people, making the market very lively. We went through the streets and passed the stores. I was amazed by so many things that I didn’t know what to eat. My senior took me to eat meat stew with soy sauce(魯味). We eat too full to eat another bite.
In the warm temperate night, we took the bus back to school. It was eleven o’clock in the mid-night. When I got onto my bed, I could still feel the bustle of the night market. It is really a good place to go.

Mission for MSN. Wings for すきです

(The boy and the girl ready to catch the ball and their heart)
Yesterday our volleyball team members and I went to Taipei Medical University to take part in 9’th Medcup volleyball match. We weren’t lucky because we met strong teams. No matter how hard we’ve tried, we lost them all. I admit that we didn’t practice hard enough in advance. We had better spent more time practicing volleyball.
Though we lost the games, I did see a lot of beautiful volleyball girls. Hey, this time I was not distracted when playing the ball. Among them I was attracted by one particular girl. I just loved her style. Not too fat, not too thin, she had a bright pretty face and short hair. It occurs to me that I wanted to get her MSN.
So, the mission began. I took my pen and a piece of paper. I steeped toward her with a hesitated mind. Oh, God. What was I doing? I failed because she stood in a crowd of her teammates. Can you imagine going straight into the girls and ask “I like you because you are so beautiful. May I get your MSN?” This is insane.
Finally, when her teammates were gone -all gone- for a while, she sat there only by herself. It was about time. I took a deep breath and walked to her with every courage I could spend. No, no way. She was talking on the phone. How was I supposed to do? Interrupting her? That was too rude. She would have a bad impression on me. You know? First impression is last impression. Then her teammates were back, all back. My chances were all gone, and all gone. So, I just stared at her, watching her leaving and left no more image in my eyes.
There in the volleyball court I stood motionlessly. Waiting, waiting, and waiting. Chances and tears seem to be vaporized by the hot hot sun……

All about a girl.




Mary is a beautiful girl. She is not only beautiful but sexy. I’ve fallen in love with her in the first sight. All I want to do is to make friend with her. Looking in her big eyes and listening to her problems. I want to do everything for her because I love her so much. I always fall into my dream walking with her in the class. However, one day
I found some dirty secrets about her. The girl I love is just a bull shit. She is a two timer. No! She is a “many timer.” She not only go out with me, but with many people.

The Volleyball Girl. つばさ for passion

(HEY! If you like me, don't use the ball to hit my head. I'll be shy. >///<)
“Hey, David. Would you like to go to FU JEN Catholic University to play volleyball with me?” my classmate knocked my room door and asked. Then he took me a ride on his wolf 125c.c. motorcycle. The wind was so strong that it blew away not only my breath but also my heartbeat. The speed was up to 60 km/hr when he rode down the steeple heel. As a brave man, I should not be afraid of this. But the sound coming out of the engine just ate out my confidence bit by bit. The motorcycle leaned when taking turns. I thought that I could almost touch the ground. We arrived at FU JEN Catholic University safely.
The first thing I saw when entering the volleyball court was a lot of charming girls in sports wear playing volleyball. While I was practicing, I was hit by the ball because of not watching the ball but the girls instead. Luckily, I was not discovered when doing the evil deeds. I thought that I had better wear an eye patch when playing the ball, using feeling instead of seeing. The girls just distracted me so much.

Editint the time


Installing the film making program, I sat there and was filled with ideas. I attended the Chinese Medicine department volleyball team. One day, there came a job. I was assigned to accomplish a short video to introduce our volleyball team. So, I made the plots and let them filmed. Our team member and I had a fun time ‘playing’ the acts. The acts are originated from the story “King Arthur and his Knights.” The sword in the stone was transformed into the ‘ball’ in the stone. The one who picks it up can have eternal power and becomes the best volleyball player in the world. The ending was a question mark. I didn’t put the answer. I wanted you to find out.
The real problems came when refining the film. You just had to deal with all kinds of things. What matters was the timing. You had to decide what things to show in each second. The program was too powerful to resist its charm. You may find lots of surprises while making the film. This job is really beyond imagination.

Journey to the past


Last Saturday I went to my mom’s office with my mom. Normally, she gets a Saturday off. But last Saturday she had to work, making up the holiday of 228. My mom works in the TungHai University. I grew up in here. I went to the kinder garden, elementary school, and junior high school in here. TungHai is a very beautiful place, especially now. The plain grasslands are decorated with many kinds of flowers, and butterflies and bees dance between them. Spring wind blew the warm sunlight gently through my cheeks. Parents and their sons and daughters played Frisbee happily, giving me a lovely feeling. I walked along the old classrooms. The time seemed to bring me back to the past. I saw the little me running joyfully with my brothers around those classrooms which my mom had brought us to. The little me smiled at me and asked me to play with them. Just as I was about to say yes, the school bell rang. All the illusion disappeared in a sudden, leaving the bell rings shouting a t my ears and beating my soul in the big empty old classroom.

King Arthur and his knights

With a simple pull, the holy light came out of the marble anvil. And there stood a man with the sword in the stone, King Arthur, the real king of England. The story of King Arthur and his knights took place in the island called Britain, and it is well known by everyone. Recently I read a book about this. Amazed by the splendid magical power and the brave deeds that they have done, I figured out something. Not all the things can be solved by force, wisdom and the belief that things will turn out good play and important role in problem solving. For example, though King Arthur had the most power sword, the Excalibur, he couldn't prevent his sister from stealing the sword and the most valuable sheath. He is not wise and careful enough. The story impressed me most is that the wisest wizard, Merlin, was planned a downfall and sealed by an ordinary girl named Vivian. Merlin had the power to know about the future of everyone and everything. But he was blind to his own. No matter how wise and powerful you are, you just can't resist fate. It is destined that the glory of the Round Table shall fade, but it has become a legend in peoples' mind. Legends are all the same, filling with heroes, beauties, adventures, etc. Most of them inspire us and we are pleasant to be inspired. They give us hope toward our own real life. By the way, I would ask you a small question: the Excalibur is a powerful sword that it can cut out almost everything. It's sheath is a magical case that it could heal and prevent the owner from bleeding. Which one do you prefer? Why? The book is called "The Story of King Arthur and His Knights" written by Howard Pyle published by Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.

Misson For Water

The school dormatory had some problem recently. The water wasn't coming out stably and often stops. This problem had brought me a lot of inconvenience. One day in the middle of the day when I was about to take a nap at the quiet school library, I got a phone call. My classmate who live at the other room told me that he heard a large water flowing sound coming out of my room. He couldn't open the door nor found any of my roomates, so he called me. I rushed to my room and realized that the faucet was fully opened. The water fall like Nigaraga Water Falll. I dare not to think about how muchh water have flawn away. Though I was invanerable to get back to my room, I still appreciated my classmate's timely phone call.

Wings for the past


Time has its past, present, and future. So do I. I was excel in English because I went to English cram school since I was very young. I wasn't bothered while learning English: instead, I enjoyed it very much. Teacher tole me a lot of funny things in English, and we had a fun time discussing with each other. We played games and learned English bit by bit. I used to get up very early to catch the English radio program, which made me very tired when I got to school. But it worth the effort that I've paid. I listened to Let's talk in English at the begining. Now I listen to the Advanced magazing. I've written an English short story called The Mission of Bombing. It's a science fiction. So, why don't you strech your wings and fly in the English world with me?
