Quickwrite -- My Special Belonging

1. Pillow
2. My pet
3. Cellphone

If the war has occurred, or the strong disease that might can kill people rapidly has spread out, and we have to leave our home immediately, I guess I will bring my pillow that can always make me feel asleep quickly, my lovely pet and my cellphone, which is the most helpful and useful tool to keep in touch with others to avoid losing contacts -- of course, I will bring the charger if there is a plug -- We might don't know where should we go, but I think we will miss our lovely home very very much.
The most unforgettable thing at home, which is the thing I miss the most, must be the toilet in our clean bathroom. At outside, the toilet or the bathroom might be dirty --or extremely dirty--, but the toilet at home is totally sterile and clean, and there is a tool that's used for controlling the temperature on toilet mat, that if the weather is cold, you won't catch a cold easily during the time you are using the toilet. The second unforgettable thing at home must be my comfortable bed with my comfortable blanket. While the weather is cold, during the winter, the lovely blanket always keep me in warm that I won't get a flu easily. During the summer, I can turn on the air conditioner and stay in my bed, enjoy a good sleep and have a good dream in my bed with my blanket. I will always be energetic and sort of hyper next day after the good sleep with those stuffs. They are not just the things, they are my friends... kind of.
I love my home, so I don't want anything like war or strong disease like SARS, H1N1 or something that's more horrible happen in the future. I don't want to leave home in sudden by being forced. I don't want to lose anything I have!!

The Lyric of My Favorite Song and Its Theme

Lyrics

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one that falls
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight

---------------------------------------------------------------

The meaning of the lyric of this song is kind of dark since it's talking about an addict who has the addiction of drugs, alcohol, or cigarette and want to forget the pain.
Through the part of the lyric, "I'm picking me apart again/ You all assume/ I'm safe here in my room/ unless I try to start again", I think the narrator in the song is trying to get rid of his addiction and persuade himself that locking himself is the way to prevent him from taking drugs or self harming. Through the other part of the lyric, "I don't want to be the one/ The battles always choose/ 'Cause inside I realize/ That I'm the one confused", I think the narrator in the song is explaining the process of fighting with his addiction, and he doesn't want to be suffered under the pain anymore. And the chord of this song, "I don't know what's worth fighting for/ or why I have to scream/ I don't know why I instigate/ to say what I don't mean/ I don't know how I got this way/ I know it's not alright/ So I'm breaking the habit... tonight", must be talking about how the narrator in the song suffer in the such situation, like how he lost his mind to do something he doesn't mean to do and want to scream for help, so through the lyric, we can get that the narrator in the song feel helpless and extremely suffered. In the Bridge, which is "I'll paint it on the wall/ 'Cause I'm the one that falls/ I'll never fight again/ And this is how it ends", the narrator gives up to fight with the addiction, and has himself keeping being in the desperation. He want to suicide (Because in the music video, the guy who is singing, jumps off the building and drops right on the police car and dies.). Well, in the last words of the lyric, the narrator seems to be a little bit awake, and he wants to express his pain and feeling, and he decide to break his addiction.

The Theme of This Song : Don't touch drugs or anything that able to be addicted to you and have you being an addict, or you will regret and hardly guard against the addiction you have. That will be very miserable and extremely painful.

Details of Song of Revolutions

I choose "Song of Chinese Civil Revolution" as my song of revolution. It's talking about the time of 1920s in China. At that time, Northern China and part of Southern China were ruled by Beiyang armies, which were sort of controlled and helped by the western country. Also, most part of Southern China was ruled by Republic of China, which was found by Sun Yat-sen. Because this song was written by the person in Republic of China, so the song's about mostly talked about eliminating Beiyang armies and reviving China.
As you can hear, this song exactly sounds same as French ballad, "Two Tigers". Well, during that time, circumstances of China was quite unstable and nervous that the war was easily occurred in any time, at any moment, thus I think that the lyricist might wrote the lyrics down hurriedly.

Quickwrite -- Duty & Friendship

You have a date with your old friend you've known for 12 years next Monday. However, you just knew that there is going to be a band performance next Monday, too, and you must be in the band performance because you are one of the members in the band. Your friend who didn't see him for lots of years is going to be here next Monday, and you and he had already set the date, but as a band member, you can't be absent in the performance. What will you do if you are right in this kind of dilemma??
This is very hard to decide, because both are very important, you won't want to betray your old friend after all. There is going to be lots of chance to perform on stage in the band in the future, and the chance to meet your old friend is quite rare. If you are a trust friend, and you have a trust band member, I guess band members would like you to go see your old friend, and you'll be happy at that time, too.

Quickwrite -- Under Pressure

In the war, soldiers in the battlefield are right in the high stakes, and they can be killed and die in sudden. However, even a worm will turn, what the soldier or general in the high stakes do sometimes can change the situation in the war, and the destiny of the army could change. But there are still some variables when you are in the high stakes and do something that could make things worse than the original situation.
One of the main reason that students in school cheat is that they didn't prepare for the test. That's exactly the stupid action only occurs when students are in the high stake. Thus, you can see that sometimes when you are in the high stakes, what you do can be unusual, makes things worse, or masses up everything.
Sometimes, the crime such as killing people is also due to the high-stakes situation. For example, the person named Allen originally just want to steal the old lady's purse, but old lady strongly resists him so that Allen become anxious and take out his knife to chop the old lady and bring out the trouble. What he does could make his entire life and future miserable, so just don't do anything silly when you are in the high stakes, or you will might regret what you do. THINK before you do!!

Quickwrite -- Vengeance

When people get hurt or be taken advantage of, they might take actions to hit ones who hurt them or injury them back, since this could make them feel better that they expressed their feeling of anger or suffering. However, the action of revenge sometimes doesn't make you feel better, instead it leads you to tragedy and make you feel more miserable and depressed.
There's a very perfect example on today Daily News. It said that a man who raped the girl had been punched and chopped for 6 times by the girl's boyfriend. Girl's boyfriend was really upset with the girl's superior, the one who had raped the girl, so he ran to the superior's house to hit the superior. However, his fury of the superior wasn't completely eliminated. After that, he went to the hospital where the superior was located to chop the superior with the knife for 6 times and ran away. Well, 2 days after, he and her girlfriend had commit suicided by sniffing carbon smokes in airtight motel room because of guilts. After their bodies were founded by polices, both's parents were extremely sad and crying. The police denoted sadly that they still had possibility of having probations if they didn't decide to suicide.
According to this upon and actual social news, we can know that sometimes hatreds in your heart can't be too over, or it doesn't make you feel better, instead it leads you to the tragedy that you can't restore. Buddha and Christ both had said that we should forgive people who has guilts, although they made you feel suffer or miserable before. Forgiving is the best way to redeem what you lost.

Quickwrite -- The Grass is Always Greener On the Other Side

Envious is a kind of situation that forms when you believe that having what someone else has will make you happier, or when someone has the thing you want to have for a long time. This kind of situation often makes people jealous and ignore something better we have. This kind of situation also makes people neglect the advantages of itself.
However, these kinds of negative effects, like neglecting the advantages of yourself, often also make you have less self-confidence. While I was in 7th grade, because of my less confidence on PE, I was often distinguished from other people who were good at sports. I usually envied their skill of sports, and dreamed about I could be such like them. However, this just made me feel less confidence on PE. In 8th grade, I started to catch up my sports skill and strength my body to make myself stronger. Now I have more confidence than before, especially on PE.

Quickwrite -- Dreams

When I was a child, I had a lot of dreams of future, like being a cartoonist, a computer scientist, a writer and an astronomers. However, those dream have disappeared one by one with my growing. Now, I think I find my real interest and future goal, is to lead and carry my band in Taiwan forward to the global, let everyone around the world know more about our mother land, Taiwan and reduce their discrimination and impressions to Asians.
My band will sell musics on itunes, which is nowadays biggest online music store, and earn some basic venture fund. We will use the fund to create a small-size studio that we can practice, record songs and doing some artworks, also we can set the studio as our secret place that we can discuss something about band or our daily things. While we have enough fund, the band members' ages are almost like 18~19. We are going to look for the Records to help us sell our albums, because we have enough popularity and money. Then, we earn more money from selling album and holding a concert or a show. We'll be a successful band as known from Taiwan!!
Even though this dream is not complete YET, but I'm sure that we are now doing our first step of the band success -- selling music on itunes. The band members (including me) will get the direct time to go to the studio record our first single and we'll practice some musics from the other bands like Linkin Park, Slipknot, Foo Fighters, or The Script, then we'll sell it on itunes and earn fund (We might be the youngest band on itune store). After that, we can through the steps, gradually complete my dream, our dream! (Our band has already known the way to sell music on itunes, so that's not a problem, including copyrights, we also have the measure and permit of copyright. we figured out how money comes to ours, too. WE ARE READY!!)

Quickwrite -- What makes the people so tough, so strong in spirit, and why?

There are some historian people in the history did a lot of contribution, some of them did a lot of bad things, like the large-scale slaughter. One of the most original example must be the first emperor of Chinese Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang.

He was born in a poor village, when he was a child, he was sent to be a monk of the temple in the mountain. China then was ruled by Mongolians, known as Yuan Dynasty. However, the government then was very weak and rot. Every civilians were poor and dead because of the famine, diseases then. Zhu Yuanzhang was one of the victims, the temple he belonged was destroyed. He ran off the mountain and went looking for foods and tried to survive. One time, he was almost dead because of the hunger, luckily, he was rescued by a kind old woman and fed by her. If the old woman didn't meet Zhu Yuanzhang at that time, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't appear in the history, maybe. Then, he joined the army of trying to defeat Yuan Dynasty, after years, he became the main leader of the army and defeat Yuang Dynasty, build Ming Dynasty and became the emperor.

After he became the emperor, his suspicious and irritable personality that was developed when he was poor, had been completely hide by the queen then. However, after the queen was dead, his personality was completely shown, lots of ministers and innocent people were killed.

Zhu Yuangzhang was a great emperor but also a bad-personality rulers in Chinese history. However, we can understand that what a person is, what makes these people so tough might be what they have experienced and feel. That might be a very important factor of why people are so tough. Their desire to do somethings might be one of the factors, too. Sometimes, every of their moves might effect every part of the history and the future.

Quickwrite -- My Oldest Friendship

I have a lot of friends in my life. I may not remember them all, nor they could remember me completely. However, I'm sure that I have a friend who knows me about 9 years, even now, we still contact and meet each other regularly. He's kind of chubby chubby, but extremely smart. His name is Sam Liao.
I've met him when I was in 1st grade. He was a new student then. After teacher completely introduced Sam and sent him a seat that next to me, our friendship has started since this moment. Every break time, he would take his own book out and read it. One time, I was passing the workbooks to class. While I walked around him, I saw him taking out his book, and the name of the book is "Secret Of Space" (kind of like that). I was interested in astronomy then, so in the break time, I went to his seat and asked him about something astronomy. After that time, we discussed astronomy and science durning the break time. The most unimaginable thing is, we've never argue or fight for something disputed. We almost always have the same opinion, even now.
When we are like 3rd grade, we have the first and also the last quarrel. It's about the beetle cards. He supposed not to bring those cards to school, and his attitude became bad, too. He often ignored me and my other friends and kept playing his contrabands. Even we didn't tell the teacher, but my friend and I tried to let him out off this bad habit. In the end, it worked! Even though I took about half an year to let Sam out off something unreal and bad, it was worse to safe him back and let the fight end.
Nowadays, Sam and I are still good friends. We still contact each other, meet each other in the regular time. Wish we can be good friends forever.

Quickwrite -- My Favorite Villain, GIn in Conan

I've watched a cartoon named "Conan" for many years. In this cartoon, there is a group called "Darkness" which invented one kind of medicine that makes a teenage detective turns into an elementary school kid. However, there is a special member in the group called "Gin", he's unusually cruel and kind of happy with killing people, especially the people who try to destroy the group or resist the group.

Even he's very evil and inhuman, however, he has a intelligent brain and good looking. Every time when polices find the people who were killed by him, they have no idea with who the murder is. Otherwise, Gin always has a plan in his brain. While he's doing his mission, he will think about the next step and how to do. I'd like to have his brain if I can, but I don't want his personality and hobby.

Well, even though Gin is kind of evil, but I still like his role and his unusual great brain!!!!
