The Reasons Why I Admire Guan Yu

Nowadays, people especially taoist worship him as one of the god. Yeah, I truly agree that he is god. He is well-known as "God of War" during his period, the era of Three Kingdoms. He is the model of righteousness, virtue and discipline.

Description of General Guan Yu:

• Sworn brother of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei
• Red-faced
• Long beard
• His blade, Green Moon Dragon
• Arrogant
• Loyal
• Usually people fear the strong, oppress the weak, he is the opposite
• A fearsome general in fighting, one of the mightest warrior during that period

I will summarise what I want to say in a short conversation.

Restrict prefects like Sun Jian, Liu Bei have their own land. While Liu Bei still a weak forces, Cao Cao was already the Prime Minister, using the current Emperor of Han, to control the land, do what he wants to achieve his ambitions.

He launched an attack on Liu Bei, the three brothers lost contact with each other. While Guan Yu, who intended to protect Liu Bei's family which fall into Cao Cao's hand, traded with Cao Cao. He will help Cao Cao to win a few battles before he return to his brother' side.

Cao Cao has heard a lot about Guan Yu. He intended to persuade Guan Yu to serve him.

Cao Cao : Guan Yu, this is the new clothes that made of the best quality silk in the land. I send it as a gift to you to appreciate your service.

Guan Yu : Thanks a lot!

* Guan Yu wear the new clothes inside, with his original old clothes covered it outside. *

Cao Cao : General Guan, why did you still wearing that old piece of worn clothes. You should throw it away and wear the new clothes.

Guan Yu : That's the clothes that my brother gave me. I wear it on outside, so when I see it everyday, it's like seeing my brother everyday.

Finally, he kept his promise, killed the strongest enemy officer for Cao Cao's Forces, left Cao Cao's side and reunited with his brothers. The story of Three Kingdoms continue on...

Everything, Start from Null...

Null, means zero in germans. Yeah, it's like I almost forgot everything I learn last sem. I suppose you too right? I am going to start it all from zero. Building up the staircase, step by step, to reach where I reached last year. And to aim for another mountain, like the lyrics of "The Climb", meaningful...

I only started reading "die Ilse ist weg" today, and I discovered many words I don't know. The feeling is great. Because I have so many to learn, won't have much time to waste then. My spirit and morale, again being boost up.

Let's start from zero. At least you KEEP MOVING FORWARD, you will NEVER be left behind. Coup de grace!!!

New Semester Comes

Today is my last day of my 2nd semester holidays. It's also my last chance as becoming a nocturnal animal. Sleeping at 5 am and wake up at 2 pm. However I have to wake up by 8 am tomorrow anyway. From tomorrow onwards, everything will turn a new leaf and 3rd semester steps in.



Is it that we will turn a new leaf actually? No, we have to face the consequences of being lazy in 2nd sem and face the music if we did bad in our exams. I am one of them. However, there's no way to escape through and it's helpless and meaningless. This is what a coward do. The attitude "there is always tomorrow" is also one of the cause that obstruct us from keep moving forward. How many tomorrow do we still have? Think about it...



I admit that I have wasted my time in these holidays, mostly for entertainment. However, it's meaningful for me since I spent my quality time with my family and friends.



What's next? No more study room in cemara. The only choice left is library. Yeah, perhaps I will send most of my time there. There are people who keep complaining or should I say, gossiping about one of my friends when he frequent the library. What is the business that bother you if they do something that they desire? Besides, this kind of people like to spread rumours, stabbing friends from behind or throw a tantrum at anytime because they are 'girlish'. There are one great quote which say, the way that how you treat your family and your close friends reflect your attitude. If you are stabbing your friends in front of other friends, who know that someday you may treat the friends that witnessed your act some other days?



Pressure... It's what that we have to learn to cope with. This is still a big topic for me. Because I can't usually do well under pressure.



Wishing all of you good luck in your studies or if you still having your holidays, treasure every moment you own. =)

Brazil Eliminated!!

What a disappointing match! Brazil was defeated by Netherland. However, this is not an unexpected result for me, since the strength of both countries are even. =.=

Brazil lost to Netherland with 2 - 0. At the first half, Brazil is leading with 0 - 1 against Netherland, but in the second half, Netherland turn over the tide and scored 2 goals. That was awesome. Since both the first goal was the mistake made by both defenders. However, it is the mindset and the mentality that controlled the match. Netherland started attacking after Brazil made the own goal. My dad was supporting different team with me, and he is shouting when Netherland took the secon goal. Argh! How hearbreaking I felt. I was disappointed that the team I supported was out. Yet, I admit the strength of Netherland.

There will be more interesting match tomorrow. Germany versus Argentina. Again, it's a strong team encounter a strong team. >.<. Just recalled that how I choose the countries to support. I supporting Germany because it is the country that I am going to further my studies. While for Brazil, it is simply because I was supporting the same country in FIFA 2006 after I knew that Brazil claimed the most number of world cup champion. And for Netherland, it is simply because it has my favourite player, C. Ronaldo inside. Now 2 has out, left Germany. Haha. But I am looking forward to Spain's performance. It is doing good recently. Perhaps it is the world cup champion?

The ball is round. Anything can happen. For those who is watching FIFA. Enjoy yourself!
