死亡這門課﹣真的很難修
隨著年紀的增長，參加葬禮的次數變多了，感受也愈加強烈！前一陣子，我最敬仰的叔公以９１高齡過世了，他留在我心中的身影是仔細聽診，不收蘇家子孫一毛錢的醫生！上週，我痛失了一位年僅１９歳的學生，看著他送我刻有"Jen Su"的鑰匙圈，想到最後一次在校門口看到他那充滿活力，開心的神情，我好難過。今天去看了「最後十四堂星期二的課」，哭了很多也想了很多！人生的意義，我常在想。不要去愛人，就不會有失去心愛人時的痛苦，我沒想過。時時刻刻覺得死亡就在身邊，就會更把握當下，我常這麼想。每個人都在慢慢的死去，只是速度的差別，但失去朋友親人時，我還是心好痛。一個人有病痛或死去時，天依舊藍，孩童依然歡笑，世界不會因此停下，這點我會牢記在心。豁達看待死亡，我仍然做不到，但會提醒自己，開心付出自己，努力原諒別人也原諒自己，因為沒人能告訴我：是今天嗎？

A letter from Helen of Troy to Paris(By Group 1)
Dear Paris,
I "did" love you so much. As I saw your face, I melted. Every act of you caught my sight.I will never forget the night in Sparta. Nevertheless, I no longer love you because you failed to fight against Menelaus. I can't stand your cowardice anymore! Since I saw how courageous your brother, Hector, was, I have fallen in love with him.
You brought me a great deal of happiness and I do appreciate that. I have to apologize to you, and there is no other way we can be together again! Thanks for your love, SAYONALA!

Wonderful poems from S102
Topic: Bee
The bees are busy,
They love honey.
Sometimes they are crazy.
But sometimes they are lovely.
When bears come to eat,
They will give them a beat.
When they sting,
People will scream.
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!
Topic: Ladybug
Ladybugs are round,
Hover above the ground.
Please run.
They're lady killers,
And full of colors.
Topic: Fly
I am a fly,
Seeing a pretty butterfly in the sky.
It makes me want to cry.
But I'm still a fly wandering high in the sky.
I see the dragonfly fly in the sky.
It's so proud that I want to hide.
Let's dance together in the light.
Topic: Firefly
You are a pretty firefly.
You like flying in the sky.
You invade my heart like a spy.
You say that you want to live inside.
You say I'm a handsome guy.
You're a pretty girl in my mind.
Do you know
You are mine?
Topic: Butterfly
Lovely butterfly,
Do not cry. Tell me why.
"Because I cannot fly up high."
Don't be shy. Try and try.
Some day you will touch the sky.
The bees are busy,
They love honey.
Sometimes they are crazy.
But sometimes they are lovely.

Wonderful poems from S101
Topic: Firefly
You are my lover,
Appear in summer.
With the light in the night,
Like a star in the sky.
Don't go out tonight, my firefly.
I couldn't say goodbye.
Topic: Butterfly
Once there was a caterpillar,
Crawling to his lover,
Handed her a letter.
He said,
"Though I'm not a commoner,
An ugly creature,
I can give you the better.
Would you do me a favor
To live with me forever?
Topic: Fly
Fly across the neighborhood,
Saw a piece of food.
Can you stop flying?
You're so annoying.
Always searching for food.
Does it taste that good?
Topic: Butterfly
Fly, fly, fly!
Butterfly flies in the sky.
Sky, sky, sky!
Doesn't fly enough high!
High, high, high!
Caught by a big guy.
Hold on tight!
And then die!

Appear in summer.

Wonderful poems from S205
For Class 205,
班上有不少厲害的詩人喔!
第五組:
War is a devil,
Bring people to the end of world.
War is the maker of trouble,
Make disaster even more terrible.
War is ruthless,
Make people homeless, orphans helpless.
War is nothing
But a way to destroy everything.
第七組:
Hope is a friend,
Bring me to a wonderful land.
Hope is light,
Lead me to a beautiful life.
Hope is sunshine,
Light up the dark side.
Hope is all,
Make everything possible.
第三組:
Love is a river,
Drowns your heart.
Love is a candy,
Tastes so sweet.
Love is a happy tune,
Lifts your spirits.
Love is magical,
Always gives you hope.
Love is a black hole,
Sucks in your soul.
Love is the light,
Illuminates your lonely nights.
Love is the cloud,
Shadows your mind.
第四組:
Loneliness is a devil,
Slip into my life.
Loneliness is a hunter,
Lock me in a cage.
Loneliness is a thief,
Steal my happiness away.
Loneliness is a storm,
Destroy my happy life.
Loneliness is an icebox,
Make my heart frozen.
Loneliness is a shadow,
Always block the sunshine.
第二組:
Time is a cat.
It moves quietly and nobody knows.
Time is like a paintbrush.
It paints wrinkles on people's faces.
Time is a runner.
It waits for no one.
第一組:
Jealousy is the ink,
Hide the truth when we think.
Jealousy is the night,
Cast a shadow on our mind.
第六組:
Family is a sense of belonging,
Give us strength when we feel sad.
Family is a tree,
Give me room to grow.
Family is supportive,
Fully trust me no matter what happens.

Another suitcase in another hall
For S202 & S206,
Many of you might have heard of the song "Don't cry for me Argentina!" But I prefer the song "Another suitcase in another hall" because of its soft but melancholy melody!
Try to memorize the lyrics, ok?

Trip to USA (Day 1)
過年時去美國自助旅行兼訪友,回來一直想把這趟深度+累死人之旅的行程寫下,但開學後就一直忙+一直趕課+自己的怠惰,所以到現在一篇都沒寫!今天就先簡單描述一下第一天的行程好了!
首先,坐了12小時飛機到達Los Angeles的旅館時,已經是晚上十點了,吃完泡麵後卻無法入眠!第二天一早,想說既然睡不著乾脆早點出門好了!因為只帶了一些美金,第一個工作就是去銀行領錢!沒想到好不容易找到的分行居然10點才開門,早知道就去以前常去的那家分行8:30就開了!沒領到錢,只好直接殺去環球影城(Universal Studio),因為是上班時間,開了一個小時多才到!
一到環球影城,先去看了4D電影史瑞克,又看了動物表演(Universal's Animal Actors)後,發現天色陰暗,趕緊去坐遊園車,一上車居然就開始下雨了!有金剛(King Kong)的攝影棚已經燒毀了,遊園的路線和以前也不同了,但因為看過慾望師奶(Desperate Housewives)這部電視劇了,所以這次看到他們拍攝的實景覺得很興奮!Steven Spielberg的大白鯊的場景還參觀得到,也看到了他的另一部片War of the Worlds的場景(這是新的,很好看,有墜毀的飛機,撞在一塊的一堆車)!還好地鐵站遇到地震引發火災的場景也還在!
中午隨便買了薯條雞塊,在雨中站著吃完!為了看今天唯一的一場水世界表演,提早了20分鐘去排隊!因為不能撐傘,所以很多人都冒雨在排隊,還好我們有自備雨衣!不過今年的LA好冷啊!等了半小時以上好不容易讓我們進場,但又等了10分鐘以上,超擔心他們因雨不演出了!終於演出開始了,但是演員們演得很沒勁,可能是天氣太冷了!演到一半,小飛機衝入後本來有一連串的爆破,但卻看到演員都撤了,原來機械故障了!結果觀眾開始離席,我們也因為太冷了,冷到手完全凍僵,決定回旅館,那時才下午2點多!不過要離開時,環球影城的工作人員給了我們四個人四張全新的票,我們可以在三月底以前找晴朗的日子再重遊,這點我覺得他們真的很貼心!
去過環球影城N遍以上,這一次可以說是最不順,最難玩的一次!
PS.晚餐想重新回味韓式豆腐鍋,但老闆換人了,口味也變差,料也變少了,只有一堆豆腐!第一天諸事不順,唉!
Cry On My Shoulder & A Shoulder To Cry On
For S103,
For me, a true friend is someone who I can share EVERYTHING with and who will always be there for me. In my view, we don't need many fair-weather friends. ONE bosom friend is all that we need to complete our lives!!!
Enjoy the two wonderful songs!
