Feelings

Recently, I started to learn to take responsibily from the Best Melody. To me, it symbolizes boundless work to do and experience to learn. This weekend our seniors will give us a series of training course, it sounds fun. However, except having fun, I expect myself to learn something from the course. No matter the time dealing skills, communication skills or singing skills, I really expect to see my improvement. Learning those experience might be invaluable treasure in my life. Especially, my job is more focusing on the dealing interpersonal relations and singing skills. The former is what I really need to learn. And the latter is the most important part, also my biggest motivation to join in the club! After all, no matter how hard the life will be, I will try my best to hold on and head forward!

Recently

To be honest, recently I have been quite busy and annoyed. After biology and chemistry mid-term exam, there are lots of papers and presentations to prepare. However, despite of those annoying work, there are some other reasons affecting my mood, and worrying about whether I have the ability to be other's senior is one of them. I don't know what I have to teach them. On the other hand, taking the position within our choir is also a source of stress. whatever, there are lots and lots of stressful thing, and now, I am going practicing singing.

Seasons of Love

Seasons of Love
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure-measure in a year?

In daylight-in sunsets In midnight-in cups of coffee

In inches-in miles In laughter-in strife

In five hundred twenty-five thoudand six hundred minutes

How do you measure A year of life?

How about love?

Measure in love

Season of love.....

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

Five hundred twenty-five thousand journeys to plan

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure the live of a woman or a man?

In truth that she learned or in times that he cried

In bridges he burned or the way that she died

It's time now to sing out

Though the story never ends

Let's celebrate Remember a year in the life of friend

Remember the love measure in love

Seasons of love....

In diapers-report cards

In sports wheel-in speeding tickets

In contracts-dollars

In funerals-in births

In five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you figure a last year on earth?

Remember the love.....

Seasons of love....

How do you measure your time? Moreover, how do you measure your life?Everyone may have different answer. But this song, which is from the movie "Rent", it regards that the answer is "Love". To make it more clear, love stands for fragments of beautiful memory, and that is the only thing you can remember after several decades. Therefore, measuring a year by seasons of love is the bestway! I was deeply moved by its lyrics and melody since I heard it the first time. It is a great song, and now I share it with you.

My English Blog!!

It's been a long time since I dreamed of having my own blog. However, the lack of motivation has long been my barrier. The reason is that it is so embarrassing if I lose my passion to keep writing. Now, I have the opportunity to have my blog in English. Therefore, I can share my emotion and colorful college life in my blog. Sometimes I will also share some great songs I heard on the Internet or in the choir. Tomorrow we have a chemical analysis midterm exam, so now I have to go to study.

Comparison of two ads
The two ads have same ways and different ways to achieve the advertising effect. We can look at them one by one.
From the first picture, we can see a box of poker was sent to the destination barely moved. It seems very unreasonable in the real life, but it does make a deep impression on our mind and successfully achieve the effect to advertise. On the other hand, this advertisement use a kind of positive and direct way to brag about its stability.
From the other picture, we can see a fire engine go out from a Fedex truck to put out the fire. Also, it seems impossible to happen. How could a fire engine in a Fedex truck? How could a delivery service faster than fire fighter? They also spared no effort bragging about the speed and efficiency. However, it does make everyone realize what they want to express and reach the purpose of advertising. Regarding the ways of presenting, different from the straight forward way of advertising, picture B uses a kind of ironic way to give a sharp comparison of lack of efficiency fire engine and indirectly make people realize the speed that the delivery service have.
Every advertisement have the same purpose--- to make impression on consumers, but they will be presented by unlimited ways, that is why the advertisements are always attractive.

Self Introduction Ver. 1

My name is Ristan, which I gave it to myself in my senior high school. Not long ago, I just escaped from the JCEE, getting into CGU, and now enjoying my freshman year. My extracurricular activity stands for my habits. I joined in tabletennis, tennis, and the choir. There is a singing contest lately, so we are having an intensive training. It almost takes all my leisure time away! However, it was just three weeks sinve I joined it. I should take more time practicing for fear of being everyone's barrier. Even I think so, the intensive training days really wore me out. Lots of setbacks and a sense of powerless really drive my crazy. But I will try my best. I am willing to give my voice if I can help the choir win the champion!
