自強街87號

璽過藏經閣，嘗撫卷太息曰：『伏臘二十，順惑立志；日就月將，惟道集虛。』

In my opinion, the Internet may be one of the greatest inventions in the 20th century, which helps connect the whole world into a closely related unity. With its massive, enormous, so as to be infinite data base of almost every string of human knowledge and thoughts, from tiny bacteria to the giddy universe, one can acquire the information they need at lightening speed, with just a few simple buttons on the keyboards or the 'cyber mice'. More than that, one can download as many exciting free games on line, which can be so abounding that we may not be finishing even a little part of the games during our entire lives.

I personally didn't like computers before, for there are so many quirky codes and informatic commands to operating such a stubborn calculator. Besides, I need not to look onto so many documents or recordings to make my junior high school papers. A local library will do just well. But since this summer when I graduated from junior high, I have gradually experienced the amazing power and charm the Internet has to offer. All I have to do when I am curious about any kind of things, no matter if it is happening on earth, I don't bother to dig in the piles of books in the bookstores or libraries. Booting my computer up, googling what I would like to find, and printing, then I get a nice briefing, without even stepping out of my room!

Twenty years ago, the typical response by the book when someone especially not my cup of tea had ever had bickered with me over some trivials would be simply deduced as my permanent impassiveness to them, totally imperturbable and inflappable, who would be condign to receive my countless elbows, as well as from my clique's. In addition, the condemned would never be granted any compassion and forgiveness for good, in whichever aspect they could conceive of, or in whatever manner they pleaded for themselves with a second chance to mutual pacification. The salient emergence of the synonym of forgiveness would resemble minute twinkling in an indigo lune only to astound realizing that they, the fellow primate, were nothing but to me the most execrative scumbags.

Twenty hours ago, some foolish wayward stonewall was reminiscent of my ruth-vacuumed dictature. Thanks to the halo of my redemption that apparently buffered my vehemence through His omnipotent corona, recently this arrogant areolaphile getting my nerve once again with his pathetique and presumptuous schmooze, was relatively and favorably bestowed sensational amnesty, and of course, once again. I would have lashed back relentlessly but for the words in James 1:19 reminding of an unselfish tolerance and perpetuating understanding. At most, what I could manage my utmost to emulate my life-time role model for the time being with regard to that dialoguely-retarded is to keep silent toward his appearance, which is exactly as his alias, Stupid Pompous, unless the jerk came to me for his confession and the most humble contrite remorse ever.

一個三年級的小學生發現，數學實在是他這一生中最難的功課。 
他每科都好，就是數學差；
舉凡家教、補習、教學光碟、參考書全試過了，沒一樣有用。

This Sunday, my family and I went to Costco to replenish our daily staple storage. At the book section, I found three good books recommendable for Japanese learning: One is a Japanese-Chinese dictionary, but in a more concise way, namely, with only word forms, and usage examples, which are very helpful for beginners who won't bother to memorize the complicated Japanese idioms, unnecessary difficult 'bungo' (Japanese ancient terms) and fine nuance from masculine modes to female ones confined within only 10,000 entries, catagorized into 4 sections from level 4 to level 1 according to the coming Japanese proficiency test (JPT), very practical and simple.

Another is a brief introduction to everyday useful words in Japan. What very incredible is that the author generates a simple idea to help 'shyushinshya' (beginners) to learn mastering 3000 words for everyday use ONLY if they know how to pronounce the basic 'gojyuon' (the 50 phonetic Japanese characters). Any one who reads the phonetics gets to know the 3000 words, with which he can own a brief grasp over daily Japanese conversation as well as pass easily the JPT Level 4.
