Happy Friendship Day!

I only been introduced this when I saw comment left by Vinod. It's the same as Mother's Day and Father's Day, it falls on sunday, the first sunday of August. However, we shouldn't treasure and cherish those people who important or meant a lot to you just on those specific days. Treat them well everydays and say how much you love them, your parents, your siblings, your friends and your relatives.

There are a few quotes and message which I found them nice and wish to post it here.

Quotes:

"Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you." by Elbert Hubald.

"True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it be lost." by Charles Caleb Colton.

"Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success." by Oscar Wilde.

"Two may walk together under the same roof for many years, yet never really meet; and two others at first speech are old friends." by Mary Catherwood.

Messages:

"If you open my heart, guess what u r gonna see? It's U. True friends are hard to find so I kept you."

"A good friend is like a computer. I 'enter' in your life, 'save' you in my heart, 'format' your problems, 'shift' you to opportunities & never 'delete' you from my memory."

Happy Friendship Day!

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...
