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.
