Ninety days passed, who else remember this place?
3 months passed, who else come for a review, or, for the lost memory?
A quarter of a year passed, who else wanna leave a message here: my loved groupmates, I'm missing you. Wish you all the best.

Alexander, the Great
The film is based on the Alexander the Great, the Macedonian King who conquered Asia Minor, Persia and some part of Ancient India. Shown in the movie are some of the key moments of Alexander's youth, his invasion of the mighty Persian Empire and his death. It also outlines his early life, including his difficult relationship with his father, Philip II of Macedonia, the unification of the Greek city-states under the League of Corinth and the conquest of the Persian Empire in 331 BC. It also details his plans to reform his empire and the attempts he made to reach the end of the world.
The plot also illustrates Alexander's private relationship with his childhood friend Hephaestion and later his wife Roxana. Before succumbing to an unknown illness or poison — it is never revealed which, yet both are suggested —, Alexander distances himself from his wife, despite her being pregnant, believing that she has killed his childhood friend Hephaestion.
After conquering Babylon, Alexander admits that Hephaestion is the only person whom he loves. During the film, Hephaestion shows extensive jealousy when he sees Alexander with Roxana and deep sadness when he marries her, going so far as to attempt to keep her away from him after Alexander murders Cleitus the Black in India.
Frankly, I do not think that this movie is a good one. I do not like the character inside. Alexander the Great was not supposed to be like that in history. At last, he turn out to be a bisexual and homosexual emperor. It is quite an awful thing.

Wandering ( Jeg blog10)
It is troublesome and tiring to create some structure-specialised articles. So this time I will just be myself and put down whatever my subconscious indicates. At the beginning of the bridging course, I made a commitment to fulfil myself by working hard on my courses and playing as an active participant as much as I can on every valuable activity. But now it turns out that I failed to meet my “demanding” promise. So many things came out and distracted my mind. Well, I am afraid to say my English is still that poor. Bridging course is a precious time. But it seems too late before I realised that I ought to pay more attention to it. Time flies! And now it is coming to the end. Our tutors are really very great I have to say from the bottom of my heart. They are willing to help us and hope us would kick well in our future academic majors. And I should have talked with them more. You know my spoken-English is really terrible. Sometimes, I ask myself if I am fully prepared to cope with the university and then I am a little scared. Am I losing my confidence? There are so many acquaintances who do not know much about me. I got problems with them. Talking with them is just like cross-talking. It didn’t make any sense to argue with them gracefully. I should have thought about myself and turned to be more sensible and reasonable about the relationship. I have a good mood today and then I realise that it is a good start.

Holiday visualization (lugg)
Whew, my stay in Singapore is eventually going to end. In just one and a half month’s time, I will be back in my hometown, Chengdu, again. How wonderful will that be? Regardless of what I have done here in Singapore, I will just get rid of those unhappy feelings, those obsessing problems or whatever, and just enjoy myself. Whenever I think of the coming holiday, I will get excited from the bottom of my heart. It always works, especially when I feel blue.
My flight will carry me back to Chengdu at 2:00 am on July the 17th. I will just pack a few things like some necessary clothes and go back home without heavy luggage. I will arrive at Chengdu Shuang Liu international airport at about 6:20 am. My parents and my twin brother will be there to pick me up. How happy and excited we all will be then! I will have not seen them for like a year and there will be so many interesting things to share. As soon as I come back home, I will not waste time for relaxing. Every minute and every second is precious for me. Maybe after a quick shower, I will go on a trip to travel around Chengdu. I will have left this city for so long and I would like very much to observe it and see the changes that came into being when I was not there.
Then, I would like to meet my relatives. I will have also expected me to come back for a long time. Then I will have a fine supper with my grandmother, my parents, my uncles, my aunts and my cousins. We will have an enjoyable talk while eating and we will laugh happily together. Then I would like to meet my old friends and classmates. Maybe they will all change a lot. We will play basketball together, we will have a meal of nice hot pot together and we will talk about the funny things happened in the past. Then maybe I will go on a trip to some wonderful places with fantastic scenery to get close to the nature. I will enjoy myself very much because I know the mountains and streams of my hometown will be certain to please me.
That is so far what I can imagine. I am sure it will be more wonderful than it sounds now. And I really can’t wait for it to come.

Some emotional feelings (Lugg)
To be frank, I have been a little moody and anxious recently. There seem so many things to worry about in my life. Time flies before I am aware of it. Just in a several days time, this bridging course is going to end. What have I learnt so far? Am I better than before I came to Singapore? What the hell am I doing NOW? It seems that I have just wasted several months time without any clear plans and goals? I am always fooling around with my friends and do nothing but playing games or even just do nothing. I spent uncountable nights and weekends playing those corruptive computer games. I sank into it and I could not get the hell out of it. Now I just cannot understand. Why have I been like that? What exactly made me believe I had the right to spoil myself like that?
Anyway, now I am awake, hopefully. I don’t know how I start to be aware of the sin of my dark past. Maybe I just suddenly woke up and found out there were actually much more important things to do in my life. I am feeling regretful and I cannot forgive that I have waste so much time and so many opportunities to do those important things in my life. And now, the horrible consequences of what I did in past befall me all in a sudden. Then, I feel my world is shattered and I am not able to cope. How I wish I could go back to the beginning of the bridging course? If so, I would lead a totally different life and I would absolutely not waste any opportunities to fight for what I now deem significant in my life. I would treasure every day of my life and put all my effort to get what now I long to possess. Anyway, it is just imagination. It is like the sweetest dreams which intoxicate you and when you wake up it is a dream and nothing more. Now, I have to confront the situation. I have already lost a lot, so now I am destined to suffer. I should not complain whatever will make me painful, `cause that will benefit me. I will definitely not waste my life anymore and I will try hard to make up what I have lost until there is no hope.
Ok, I think it is enough. Perhaps it is a little surprising for you to see me being so serious. If so, just do not mind as if I was joking.

my dream
I have a dream that I can retire with a sufficient money when I am in my forties. By that time I can do something I have dreamt for long. I may buy a small grocery in a small town. I am the boss and my wife is a grocery's wife. Of course, my kids are sons and daughters of a grocery.
Everyday, life is casual and easy. I can earn a little money to support my family. Money is not a problem, for I have earned enough for the rest of my life. The people there are friendly and familiar to my family. Sometimes I will invite my friends to come for a sit-down, or playing basketball. When meeting, my friends and I can recall the unforgettable times when we are careless young guys. We drink, laugh and sing songs which are fashionable in our young age. Then we talk about our friends' happiness and unhappiness and maybe laugh out or cry for them.
My children are no more sons and daughters of two scholars or executive staff, but of two learned citizens. They may not go to school if they do not need it. However, they must be educated. The most important thing they should learn is to be honest, sincere and loyal in life and modest, critical and creative in career. Of course I will teach them whatever I know if they need, but how to be a man comes first. They can make friends with anybody.
When I get the passion to travel, I will set off without hesitate. It can last for half a year. For example, I may rent an apartment in the suburb of Florence or Milan. During the 'work days', I may do some job, like teaching Chinese or math for some entertainment. When it is the 'play days', I will travel and feel the place I travel and feel it with patience. It is really a good way of traveling.
This is my dream. It can be a grovery in a small town, a farm in the countryside or a small bookstore in a big city, whatever like that.
