Happy 牛 Year !!

[圖片來源：四小折's 繪本日誌 - Happy 牛 Year !!]

呼呼，又過了一個新的一個農曆年，該說是Lunar New Year。明天早上，還要到原本的教會作全家的新春團拜，這已經是家裡過農曆年的一個習慣了。而在下午，就是我們的國中同學會，又可以見到許久不見的國中老師與好同學了呢！大家好不容易能在新年期間從全台灣各地回到家鄉同聚一堂，真的是很難得！ 而且聽說最重色輕友的某某同學這次居然也要來參加(大驚！) ，呵呵...

那邊那個誰誰誰，不要說牛年到了我又增加了一歲，我不算虛歲的啊！（摔筆）


祝大家新的一年 - 新年快樂、HAPPY 牛 YEAR！！

Google的圖也借來用用，嘿嘿...

[Music] Happy Xmas (War Is Over)

This is a great Xmas song which I have listened to for years. This song was John Lennon's reaction to the war in Vietnam. As you can see, this song is a protest song about the Vietnam War, but it has become a Christmas standard song and be revived by many singers in the world. HAPPY XMAS and enjoy the holiday!

So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
For weak and for strong (if you want it)
For rich and the poor ones (war is over)
The world is so wrong (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
For black and for white (if you want it)
For yellow and red ones (war is over)
Let's stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Xmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
A new one just begun (if you want it)
And so happy Xmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Xmas

Happy Thanksgiving

These are my bros at the church. They are Elder Kay, 康, Kaufusi, and 葉（from L to R.）They are missionaries of Mormon.

On the night of Thanksgiving, we had activities in the church. I never experienced that so I was looking forward joining the Thanksgiving party. The missionaries had a show of the story of Thanksgiving. After that, we had a huge turkey and other food for dinner. How cool is that! We do not have many chances eating turkey in Taiwan and it was a wondeful dinner. In USA, Thanksgiving is a time of family gathering. In Taiwan, however, you only can feel it in the church. Not all the churches though.

(The turkey was ripped open when the pic was taken.)

I really had a good time for this year's Thanksgiving. The atmosphere was great. Everyone should at least try it once in life. : )

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Happy Singles' Awareness Day 2008

昨天的文章提到：西方 Singles' Awareness Day（簡稱SAD） 的概念，就是慶祝日期採用與情人節同一日，或之前、之後的一日，主要是讓大家關懷一些沒有情人或單身者。為單身人士提供另類的方式度過情人節，讓沒有伴侶的人不用參與傳統的情人節慶祝活動（例如：我）。

很多單身者把SAD定在2/15號，then Feb. 15th it is! 再來寫一篇文章度過 SAD.

根據：Holiday Insights

When : Always February 15th

Singles Awareness Day is for those who are unattached and without a significant other. It is celebrated the day after Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day, celebrates love and romance for those currently in a relationship. However, if you are in between relationships, or without a significant other, you may feel left out. Valentine's Day can be a depressing day. So, the day after Valentine's Day is your day.

On Singles Awareness day:

• Singles get together. It's a chance to meet.
• Singles give each other gifts,
• You can celebrate and enjoy the fact that you are unattached.

不過這樣的我，還是拒絕這種 寡廉鮮恥正大光明的閃光偷襲。

公開亂放閃光者，需一律接受''閃光追殺令''的通緝...

Or you might wanna SHOUT, '' GET A ROOM '' !!!!

Happy Singles' Awareness Day, you every single heart in the world!

Happy St. Valentine's Day 2008

今天，情人節。但我沒情人，只好寫篇文章來度過情人節。今天Google首頁的情人節 logo，多麼令人感到溫暖....

輕度去死去死團的祝福....

強烈的宅男怨念....

台灣有些人雖然學了『去吧！稻中桌球社（行け!稲中卓球部）』中的『戀愛去死去死團』，但已經完全扭曲了其真正的意義，所謂的團規裡面卻還隱約藏著道德高帽子。說老實話，要模仿也不要亂改，要亂改還是不要亂學比較好。

還是原版好，自然不做作。XD

沒看過原版的可來 這裡。

重度反情人節者....

如果你只看過台灣盜版的去死去死團，還是沒看到日本原版的『去吧！稻中桌球社』之『戀愛去死去死團』，表示他們可能已經不存在....

稲中卓球部『戀愛去死去死團』之前野、井澤

我這次去日本，在九州的便利商店『Heart-In 』都還有看到『義理巧克力應援團』，台灣怎麼什麼都沒有？ ~＠__＠~

（義理巧克力：2/14女生送男性朋友，但是男生需要在3/14白色情人節回送就是了。）

台灣好歹學一下西方的「單身者留意日」(Singles Awareness Day，簡稱 SAD)。日期有採用與情人節同一日，或之前、之後的一日，主要是讓大家關懷一些沒有情人或單身者。為單身人士提供另類的方式度過情人節，讓沒有伴侶的人不用參與傳統的情人節慶祝活動（例如：我）。

最後，這麼宅的文，怎麼可以只是 Anti-Valentine's Day呢？

[Music] My Everything - 天上智喜

I always feel Korean is one of the most difficult languages to learn. Especially the words, God, could't understand a bit. Of course my Korean friends Christine and Cindy didn't think so. They think English is much harder to learn.

This song is named ''My Everything'' performed by Cheong Sang Ji Hee (天上智喜). It is very pleasant to listen to. Best Korean song I've ever heard (I haven't listened to many of them though :P). Enjoy.

HAPPY LUNAR NEW YEAR, ya'll !!! Have a nice vacation. :D
I'm going to Kyushu, Japan!!



''My Everything'' Lyrics Romaji and Engluish Translation

[Music] HAPPY NEW YEAR

First Post of the year 2008!

Surely I'm gonna show you the song ''HAPPY NEW YEAR'' performed by ABBA in 1980. Whether you've heard of it or not, I am certain that you would enjoy the terrific New Year atmosphere in this fantastic song.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 folks!

May the new year bring you happiness and prosperity, good health, peace of mind and heart. God bless!


HAPPY NEW YEAR

No more champagne
And the fireworks are through
Here we are, me and you
Feeling lost and feeling blue
It's the end of the party
And the morning seems so grey
So unlike yesterday
Now's the time for us to say...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Sometimes I see
How the brave new world arrives
And I see how it thrives
In the ashes of our lives
Oh yes, man is a fool
And he thinks he'll be okay
Dragging on, feet of clay
Never knowing he's astray
Keeps on going anyway...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I

Seems to me now
That the dreams we had before
Are all dead, nothing more
Than confetti on the floor
It's the end of a decade
In another ten years time
Who can say what we'll find
What lies waiting down the line
In the end of eighty-nine...

Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have a vision now and then
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend
Happy new year
Happy new year
May we all have our hopes, our will to try
If we don't we might as well lay down and die
You and I....

Released in 1980 on the Super Trouper Album


"ABBA around the piano" version. It's shown on many New Years Eve's in Sweden at midnight.

National Treasure - Book of Secrets / Happy New Year 2008 everyone!!!

Wow, ''National Treasure - Book of Secrets'' is good! I skipped the first one and just watched this. Yesterday Candiberry and I went to watch it. Last time we met was about 4 years ago. And last movie we watched was ''Lilo & Stitch''(also a Walt Disney stuff). That was 5 years ago. It's quite a long time that we haven't watched movies together. I had a good time.

It is an adventurous, high speed running, hilarious, and no killing/blood action movie (still got guns everywhere though). After all, it's a Walt Disney thing, it gotta adapt to audiences at all ages. Including Nicolas Cage, this movie got a bunch of great stars, like Ed Harris, Jon Voight, Helen Mirren. Oh I love them.

I was planning to find a place to have the New Year Countdown but because of some technical problem that I can't make it. So I'm gonna stay at home watching some movies through the midnight. Tomorrow will be a whole new beginning. :-)

Anyways, time to start my New Year Eve DVD adventures.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2008 everyone!!!

[Music] The First Noël

The word Nowell comes from the French word Noël meaning "Christmas", from the Latin word natalis ("birth"). It may also be from the Gaulish words "noio" or "neu" meaning "new" and "helle" meaning "light" referring to the winter solstice when sunlight begins overtaking darkness.

Today is Christmas. Let's celebrate this great holiday by singing this beautiful Chrismas carol ''The First Noël'' (performed by Celtic Woman. Their voices are gorgeous!).

The First Noël

The first Noël, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

Noël, Noël,
Noël, Noël,
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a Star,
Shining in the East, beyond them far;
And to the earth, it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.

Noël, Noël,
Noël, Noël,
Born is the King of Israel.

Merry X'mas Everyone!

There might be sometime I haven't mailed my friends and teachers X'mas cards to greet them for this great holiday.

Yesterday I got a greeting mail from Angelito Tan, a Chinese friend living in the Philippines. We used to play basketball together. I felt warm and thankful and I decided to let my friends and teachers to feel X'mas too. I sent X'mas e-cards to greet them Merry X'mas and advanced Happy New Year. Surprisingly, some friends replied mails back almost right away and some also sent e-cards to me. It made me feel real good in this X'mas Eve even though I didn't arrange any special activity to do. You guys are great.

Merry X'mas Everyone!
