Blog 4 A dream wife?

What are most boys’ expectations on their wives nowadays? Are they still fond of an elegant lady? Or are they more likely to marry a modern girl with strong character?

 Actually I am quite curious about these questions. Unfortunately, no one in our class has ever written about this topic. For this reason, I am writing about my views towards a dream wife. I will appreciate it if you share your views with me in your reply.

If I were looking for my wife, the first thing I took into consideration may be the character. Above all, I must be able to get along with her. I may regard it as a spice of life, if we have words with each other once a month. However, everyday quarrels can drive me mad.

Also, I would have certain expectations upon her appearance. For example, she can be cute, delicate and pretty but not a campus belle-because I would not be pleased when my wife were attractive to all the other men!

Besides, it would be better if she had concept with money as well as taste of clothes. Here are some detailed expectations: lively, gracious, sexy, considerate, be able to do some basic housework, have her own hobbies…and most important, have family values!

Anyway, a wife is different from a girl friend. Moreover, as far as I am concerned, at our age, we are supposed to take marriage as the goal for love (except for those lovers who cannot get married by law).

In the end, what is your expectation upon your husband/wife?

What I gained in Singapore（blog 4）

What I gained in Singapore

   I have been living in Singapore for almost three months, and I have asked myself for several times what I have learnt in these past days. Nowadays, I finally worked out this question.

   

   Firstly, I learnt how to live. When I was in China, everything had been well-prepared and arranged by our parents. However, we are far away from our families and live in a foreign country on our own now, so I gradually learnt to be more independent. When I was in low spirit, I learnt to do some interesting things to adjust myself. Although the life here was a little bit dull and monotonous, I still took initiative to find joy and pleasure from ordinary life. I tried my best to add more diversity into my life but maintained a simple lifestyle. For example, in every weekend,I would go to swim in the afternoon after a whole day’s tiring study, because I think swimming could make me feel relaxed and exercised me. Everytime I finished swimming, I felt vigorous and I was content that I had gone through a rich and meaningful day. This feeling is pretty good.

  

   Secondly, I learnt the meaning of “You suffer, you learn”. Life is suffering, but we cannot forget we can learn a lot from what we suffer. I still remember what Steve Jobs said: You cannot connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. It tells us what we have suffered will benefit us one day, virtually. I have just heard from my seniors that those who can play the instrument or are good at some kinds of sports will have a priority to continue to live in the hall in Year 2. I reminded that in my childhood, how suffered I was when my parents forced me to play the erhu but I didn’t listen to them because I was lazy. Therefore, I cannot play it quite well and it leaves me a great regret. If only I could understand this sense when I was a child, I could have been good at playing the erhu. From now on, whatever I am suffering or I will suffer from, I will never complain it anymore.

  

    I think these two things are far more important than the knowledge text books teach, and they are what I really gained in Singapore.

【blog 4】the disappearing book stores

         Books have been being with me from when we were children. In developed countries, books are dear and people prefer to read using machines such as phones, pad, e-book etc. The situation in developing countries trends in same way.E-reading becomes increasingly popular. In contract, markets of paper books are facing the problem of deficit. When I went to a book store, there were always many people reading and walking around but few people bought books. As are result,some book stores cancelled the seats beside the shelves. Few students like me sometimes chose sitting on the floor to finish reading an interesting novel. There were still some people loving reading paper books but anyhow the number of people had becoming decreasing. At past, the pirate books took a big part of book market, but students even do not buy pirate books now let alone the expensive ones in book stores. Book market becomes less prosperity and going into liquidation turns into a common problem which lots of book stores and big companies are faced with. Trying to please the public with claptrap, some young graduators set up a kind of bookstore called close down in 30 days. The idea works well, but it is obviously could not change the situation that almost other book stores have few customers. In honest, the rest rooms of bookstores are the tidies among the public.

5.My Favorite Fruit is Banana

  I find that in Singapore there are many kinds of fruits, and I think the most tasty fruit to me is banana. Today after English bridging course, I ,together with Wang Yifan, went to buy some fruit. We went to the market which are called old Boon Lay or Boon Lay marke. Then we went to the NTUC to buy our fruit. I bought some bananas whose price is 1.7 dollar per kg. And I bought 0.75 kg's banana. After I went back to my dormitory, I ate two of them. And I found that banana is really delicious. So I baidu and google something about banana.
wikipedia:
Banana is the common name for herbaceous plants of the genus Musa and for the fruit they produce. Bananas come in a variety of sizes and colors when ripe, including yellow, purple, and red.

  Beside the introduction in wikipedia, there are some introductions of it told by my friends and teacher. They said that eating a banana is a wisdom choice before you take your exam. It can help you to calm down and reduce the time of pee during the examing period.

  Banana is so good to us. So please remember to eat a banana before you  take an exam.

These days,I have some perception and thinking about a character in a teleplay. He used to be  a normal Chinese who has studied 
                                                                                                              abroad(America) and come back to China to found his own company after graduate . Now because I am studying in SG, I could also be affect by the emotion that a student lives abroad and want come back to the place where he or she was born. Growing up is a pain process being in the wake of taking in lose and cherish the memory of someone in our previous life.Dreaming in the memory is not as good as waiting for the paradise in the hell.

Blog 4：Life is not suffering

       

        I have just watched a movie named The Legend Of 1900 this weekend.The movie told a story of a pianist called 1900 who played the piano as a mucisian on the ship Virginian from his birth to death.He has never got off the ship all his life, because he thought the land was like a ship too big for him.He could see everything except an end in the sprawling city.Thus, he feared the outside world and chose to live in his fantasy world in music, even died with that discarded ship when people bombed out it.

      There is one line that impressed me a lot.1900 said to his bosom friend Max that,'It was not what I saw but what I did not see that stop me.' I think they are money,fame,status and desire.He was afraid that he may lose himself ,lose the real music,lose a qualification as an artist .For him, life in real world is suffering. It was not the ship but his heart imprisoned himself.

      However, from my point of view,where there are human being, there exist desires.Because of desire, there come out power and influence,class and interest.This is inevitable.The only question that matters is that our attitude towards life.We should go to confront not to escape from the reality .

          After all,people may not live in a bubble in perpetuity.Money and comfortable life are our material taget which make sence to our lives.Otherwise,without these competations,our society will never progress.

     All in all,life is suffering with a negative heart but enjoying with an optimistic heart.
