Dear Captain,

Do you like folk songs?

Today is my first day to work in Golden Age gerocomium. There are 11 grannys and 13 grandpas. There are just 10 staff, including me. Grandpa Chen and Granny Lu are a couple, and the others either forever lost their partners or divorced or were separated by their kids. Like grand Wu, his wife is taken care by his younger son while he is sent here by his daughter.

Today when I was helping Granny Deng wash her hair, she told me her husband was a nerdy geolog

what GOD expects......

the interview with GOD....

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered…
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money…
and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about

Every ending is just a new beginning!

       Every ending is just a new beginning. Every dark tunnel has a light spot at its end. Its just that we're too busy drowning in the darkness and in our sadness that we don't notice the light, we don't notice the new opened doors and chances for us. Whatever is gone had left an empty space for something else and hopefully better to occupy it. We just keep dwelling on the emptiness it left and the blank space ; However that emptiness is meant for something more fitting to fill it. I think wha

Dear Captain,

How small the world is! You know what, the good girl I mentioned in the last letter is Jingjing's teacher! Her name is Ya Ru.

Today I happened to meet her in the tea house near my department. We then had a long delightful talk all the afternoon. The topic changed from tea to books, from intruments to calligraphy and finally to friends around. We talked in the tea house first and then went to her house. I was so surprised when she refered to Jingjing. She praised Jingjing for her crea

When Jamu is Not Bitter Anymore

When you read the title above, you might wonder about what jamu is. Jamu is Indonesian traditional medicine. Each area in Indonesia probably has different term about its traditional medicine, but the term “Jamu” is more familiar and popular.

The reason I write this article is that I read one article here written by Dimas. He wrote briefly about the traditional medicine and what his favorite recipe. What intrigued me was a comment from Noaslpls where she said she disliked Jamu since it had bitter

Writing Challenge : Write 2 Connect

2346680198?profile=originalSuddenly I found myself staring at my laptop with a nothing to write. The most dreaded thing had happened to me. Am I finally hitting my writer's block? OHMY! What am I going to do? Scour the net to find articles to read? Find more obscure facts to write in 'Did You Know?' series?. The easiest answer is sleep and more sleep. LOL

I never think of myself that one day I will enjoy writing, especially writing in English. Though I read a lot, I never dream that I will find one coherent thought and sen

Dear Captain,

I want to tell you something which made me a bit confused. If you can help me make it clear, I'll be happy.

Yesterday when I came back from Starbuck it started to rain. I seemed to leave my umbrella on the table in Starbuck. When I got out of the metro, I had to run back home quickly as the rain was getting thicker. On the way running back home, I thought it seemed my umbrella was in my backpack. But I wasn't sure and kept running.

After I was back home, I was wet all over so that I t

Writing Prompt ~ Sometimes, Sometime, Some Time

 I sometimes enjoy to put my voice in action to check my English skills out in proof. I hope to be able to change my "lazy" to speak in my learning daily in quite some time. Because knowledge without  practice is valueless. Sometimes, I find some learners that have too much grammar background but nothing related to speaking experiences in the target language. So, if you have some time to speak in English, I'd say: SPEAK! It's really important to do

Dear Captain,

Is Kaili naughty? I think nowadays kids are a world of difference comparing to kids at my era. They are more creative, active, smart and like to take chance and show themselves.

They have known more than I do at a young age. They have less homework but more eletronic products to play. I remember at my time, I had to ask my parents' permission before I played my computer. Now they even play their Ipad or smartphone in class. As a result, they start to wear glasses at a younger age.

I hope I can improve my English soon:)

 Honestly, I am not good enough at English skills. My speaking is bad, my listening and writing are very awful and my reading always makes people who listen to it laugh very loudly. I just learn English because it is a compulsion of my study. Now, I am thinking that I want to change it, I start to learn more seriously than before. Although it is difficult for me to manage my time.

 I live with my brother and his wife. I am an orphan. It makes me work hard to earn a living to fulfill my daily nece
