认错

在朋友的Blog上看到一个故事,想起经常被我气得胸闷的爸爸,我想快点变得成熟稳重,不再是爸爸烦恼的源泉。。。
 
幼稚是肆无忌惮的在最真切的爱里纵容自己的任性,我为什么总是那么幼稚

耶稣基督一定是天蝎座的!

I'm so depressed after reading the CV's my darling sent me - the conclusion can be summarized as follows:
 
If you're gifted, God loves you!
If you ain't gifted, be diligent.
If you ain't diligent, be rich.
If you ain't rich, be brassy.
If you can't even be brassy, be lucky!
 
我的另一个结论是,耶稣基督一定是天蝎座的!!
 
等了2天干爹没有给我回音,不安!我可不是优雅矜持的贵妇,刚才直接一个电话找上门去。幸好干爹只是忙,还没来得及回复,活活。今晚先一个人出去逛逛,顺便买一瓶好酒,然后构思好自我吹捧的作文,明天一早就去拦截他老人家,哦活活活~~~
 
好歹有了一点进展,小八亲爱的最苗条最贤惠的大美女,另一个欧基桑靠你搞定了!!我现在正被一群树和自己以往的不长进慢性吊死ing。。。 ( T_T )

GRE之终章

本来想大肆炫耀的,推后吧。
 
一来,作文分数还没有出来,不好太得意;二来,这只是一段路中的一小段,后面才是艰巨的,与其说是终章,不如说前路漫漫,今后连偷懒的借口都没有,只好变本加厉的努力了,所以开心不大起来;最后也是最主要的,是因为现在炫耀会触霉头 - 有的朋友可能会觉得我很迷信吧?对的,我就是很迷信(Emma,侬昏古起了伐?)
 
不过不管怎么说,11月之前有时间休息一下了,想看的动画小说电影可以补上了,垂涎已久的Gap终于开张了(虽然上个礼拜的shopping spree已经让我的皮夹子受了点创伤),还来不及去看看的VivoCity也可以去逛逛了,少睡的觉也可以补上了吧?
 
※ 想看的电影
 
  Death Note*
  The Black Dahlia*
  The Departed*
  The Ninja Turtles
  World Trade Centre 
 
  *appealing yet not so appealing that i'd nudge my butt off the couch...
  so anyone out there with a p-copy, please contribute... many thanks =]
 
※ 想读的书
 
  暗黒館の殺人(上下)
  希腊神话
  A Mathematician's Apology
 
※ 想看的动画
 
  无数!
  (召唤Mononoke大仙:我给你的email石沉大海,不过谢谢SMS)
 
最后,感谢所有朋友的支持与鼓励,关怀与容忍:我的朋友们是最珍贵的宝藏

My Best Friend's Wedding

 
今天睡不好,看了亲爱D的结婚照片,真是帅哥配美女,令我感动不已,再次祝福亲爱D永远幸福!

[转贴] 28星宿

1月6日~1月19日 女宿:冰封的心
 你整天以为恋爱对自己可有可无,觉得朋友、家人,甚至事业都比恋爱重要。所以就算偶然有追求者,都会拒人於千里之外。其实你并不是那么冰冷的人,只是你还没有遇到你的真命天子。只要有一个强而有力,令你觉得他好有动力的人向你展开热烈追求,你这座冰山就会融化,乖乖地跟随他。
1月20日~1月29日 虚宿:野性难驯
 同你在一起的情人会很没有安全感,因为你太讨厌约束,整天滥用自由,觉得自己是一只雀鸟,於是就安心的去做出种种不负责任的事情。你最讨厌自私、无理取闹的对象,但对於飞来的艳福,你会毫无招架之力,不知道拒绝,弄出好多纠缠不清的雾水情缘。
1月30日~2月8日 危宿:前卫恋人
 你的恋爱态度别人很难理解,忘年恋、多角恋、师生恋、婚外情等,你全部可以接受,而且还很有可能会发生你身上。能够理解你的自然就能和你成为好朋友,顺理成章地很可能与你发展成情侣。不过其实你有很多这类的好朋友,所以桃花运指数还挺高的。
2月9日~2月18日 室宿:绝对空虚
 你很难找到一个令你投入去爱的恋人,不过不知是好运还是不好运,你不介意同那些没什么感情基础的人谈恋爱,在人前也可扮作恩爱情侣,但其实你内心是很空虚寂寞的,整天好像不知自己在做什么,你除了需要一个真正去爱的人,还需要一个心理医生。
2月19日~3月5日 壁宿:平凡是福
 平淡如水的感情生活比较适合你,因为你感情太脆弱,经不起爱海的惊涛骇浪,就算是小小的涟漪,都教你死去活来。你喜爱情人的抚摸,就算多不开心,只要投入了情人的怀抱,就可以把创伤抚平。你向往婚姻生活,希望和情人可以白发齐眉,儿孙满堂。
3月6日~3月20日 奎宿:来者不拒
 你非常享受被暗恋、被追求的感觉,任何类型的追求者你都来者不拒,你也很容易接受他人的爱。你对每段情开始时都充满幻想,有时将对方想得太理想化,到实际交往时发觉事与愿违,往往嫌弃对方达不到你的理想而提出分手。所以你换情人和换衣服一样的频繁。
3月21日~4月4日 娄宿:开心积极
 你性格乐天,整天面带笑容,象一个鲜嫩红苹果一样,情人和你一齐会没有压力,很开心。 你的恋爱态度积极主动,如果是女孩就不会介意女追男。 你讨厌拖泥带水,纠缠不清的恋情,一旦不小心陷入了三角恋,就算自己不是第三者,你都一定会是首先退出的那一个。
4月20日~4月30日 昂宿:谈情至上
 为爱情,你可以牺牲所有,为对方无条件的付出。你渴望爱情充塞你所有时间,甚至每一条血管。不过你的择偶条件却不算太高,只要情人对你好就足够了。 你每开始一段感情,进展都可以好快,甚至很快就有谈婚论嫁的冲动,因此你往往比人早婚。
5月1日~5月19日 毕宿:恋爱冷感
 你可以说是患上『恋爱冷感症』,你为人太理智、太冷静,恋爱也一样,要经过多重分析,例如想一下对方的外貌、身材、家产、背景…你必须知道谈恋爱有时是不可以太理智! 有时太深思熟虑,对方的热情冷却之後才後悔就太迟了。
5月11日~5月20日 觜宿:问题伴侣
 你对爱侣有很大的疑心,所以经常问对方“昨晚去了哪”、“为什么这么晚才复机”等问题,令爱侣不胜其烦。 不过你决不会将自己全部奉献给对方,最好对方爱你百分百,自己爱对方百分之八十,因为这样才能让你有十足的安全感。
5月21日~6月5日 参宿:研究异性
 头脑灵活的你,对恋爱充满好奇心,研究不同性格的异性是你的一种嗜好。 还好你的约束力够,一旦开始了一段感情就会收敛你这方面的好奇心。 你的理想对象最好是多才多艺,天天可以带给你新鲜感的人。
6月6日~6月21日 井宿:情场杀手
 你喜爱无拘无束的爱情生活,谈恋爱最好只谈风花雪月,不要涉及你的私人生活。 对於未来、婚姻等话题会叫你太沉重。 你也算是挺花心的人,但由於外表能骗人,所以还是给异性忠诚专一的感觉,亦凭住这种特质,你轻易成为爱情的杀手。
6月22日~7月7日 鬼宿:神主使者
 你认为恋爱是神圣而崇高的情操,注重精神层面的满足,甚至神交也可以。 你相信只要互相深爱对方,就算不是整天见面,或者相隔万里,两人的感情也可以维系。 你对另一半非常信任,能给他十足的自由度及私人空间,不过小心因此而令他觉得你对他不够关心。
7月8日~7月22日 柳宿:容易受骗
 你思想天真,很容易被甜言蜜语及浪漫气氛所影响,就算遇到一个自己不太喜欢的人,只要对方嘴甜,当时的环境又有浪漫气氛,那你就会很容易地奉献自己,但激情过後又会後悔不已。 小心月满当空的日子,月亮的引力会令你的自制能力减到最低,你会做出一些意想不到的事情。
7月23日~8月1日 星宿:妒火中烧
 性格爽朗的你,最不喜欢搞地下情,希望成为大家祝福的一对,不过你的妒忌心比人强,对方稍有些风吹草动,你都会大兴问罪之师。 所以与你谈恋爱,对方会有很大压力,不敢出什么差错。 你比较喜欢年纪比你大好多的伴侣,因为这样给你稳定的感觉。
8月2日~8月11日 张宿:爱之猎物
 你的恋爱态度非常认真,最恨那些不认真、玩恋爱游戏的人。一旦发觉情人视爱情为玩物,你一定会潇洒地立即抽身离去。 不幸的是你观察力弱,分不清哪个是真心,哪个是骗子,结果又成为情场杀手的猎物。 你的真爱会是30岁前後出现,之前的那些都不过是过路蜻蜓。

8月12日~8月22日 翼宿:温柔如水
 你天性温柔如水,无论同性异性都很愿意与你亲近,因此很容易招惹同性恋者青睐。你不容伴侣对你有半点异心,一旦发觉你会非常愤怒,所以你分手的经验应比别人多。 不过好在你受大众欢迎,所以都不缺乏爱情滋润。
8月23日~8月26日 轸宿:古典浪漫
 你对爱情步步为营,有自己独特的要求,认为爱情应充满古典浪漫,例如你喜爱在月下海边,一面听古典音乐,一面浅尝美酒,与情人在细沙上跳著华尔滋。但太理想的爱情往往会令你和爱情绝缘。
8月27日~9月22日 角宿:角色扮演
 爱情对你来说好像是毒品,一旦谈恋爱,你便会沉溺在自己的世界里,把自己当成是电影或爱情小说主角。 最惨的是你沉醉在自己的幻想空间里,从不理解对方的感受,令对方难以接近,整天觉得被冷落。
9月23日~10月7日 亢宿:社交能手
 你是一个社交能手,经常可以引人注目。你追求高贵的情人,因此爱情往往是球场或高级场所发生。 你换情人的速度相当之快,因为你永远相信一山还有一山高,整天觉得身边的伴侣比不上别人的好。
10月8日~10月23日 氐宿:一击即中
 你身边整天都有一大堆朋友陪伴左右,所以就算你没有谈恋爱,人家也以为你有,断送了你好多良缘。不过若你主动出击,表明心意,成功率会相当之高。好多时候,你的恋情是由友情转化而成,多些留意你身边的朋友吧。
10月24日~11月2日 房宿:等得太久
 外冷内热的你,不懂如何去表达自己的感情,使得别人以为你好高傲,难以接近。 就算你身边有异性对你有意思,都可能因为你整天挂著一副沉默认真的样,而不敢向你表白。 你整天觉得“再看看吧”,往往就因为你太犹豫,搞到自己都没人爱了。
11月3日~11月12日 心宿:有性没爱
 你对肉体关系看得很随便,可以有性没爱,更相信真爱可以由性开始。 你每段感情都不会很长久,不是你嫌人家闷,就是人家嫌你闷。其实你内心长处寂寞状态,很希望和一个了解自己的人长相斯守,只不过不相信自己可以找到这样的人。
11月13日~11月22日 尾宿:感情包袱
 你感情丰富,一旦开始谈恋爱,便会认定对方是托付终生的对象。 若对方做出越轨的行为,你也会忍气吞声,不会提出分手。 爱情实在叫你太沉重,你根本不能够放开心情去享受。
11月23日~12月7日 箕宿:活力充沛
 在感情世界里,你活力十足,精力充沛,经常一脚踏几船。 你崇尚自由恋爱,自由到有时自己都不知自己在做什么。 对婚姻生活你十分之反感,认为是扼杀你个人自由。 在没有恋爱的日子,你会好不自在,坐立不安,没有什么可以填满你生活上的空白。
12月8日~12月21日 斗宿:渴望无限
 你时刻渴望爱与被爱的感觉,理想是可以发生一段『铁达尼式』的情缘,轰轰烈烈爱一场。 你很懂得为情人制造浪漫,不过距离你的理想恋爱还很远,你常因此而郁郁寡欢,若不放开怀抱,你和你的情人都会爱得好辛苦。
12月22日~1月5日 牛宿:爱得认真
 你对每段恋情都投入认真,绝不会玩一玩恋爱游戏或者一脚踏两船。 暗恋的滋味虽然使你患得患失,但你另一方面却非常享受。一旦得到暗恋对象的认同,受到爱情滋润的你会心花怒放,有时还可能会不小心讲错话,而得罪情人。 不过基本上你对情人十分尊重,是一个包容的人。

2007年狮子座运程

2007年狮子座受到压力之星——土星,由巨蟹座转移进狮子座本宫的影响,工作量加重,压力也随之而来,因应许多可能发生的变数,狮子座要力求保持内心的平稳,才能在稳定中求发展。只要不多管闲事,狮子就可以避免很多不好的状况发生。记住,和气生财,尽量不要与他人起争执,如此就能将负担减到最低程度,平安度过今年。

另外,狮子座今年在健康上要多注意,千万不要疏忽身体出现的任何警讯,就算只是小感冒也要立刻就医,否则原本的小病很容易加重,让狮子座元气大伤。
至于财运方面,今年狮子座赚进口袋的钱大多来自工作所得,所以还是在工作岗位上多多努力吧。本来就没什么偏财运的狮子座,买乐透彩就真的只能当做公益,不宜有投机理财的举动;若真想投资理财,要多参考专家、朋友的意见,做好长期规划,放长线才能钓大鱼。

因为土星入宫的影响,今年狮子座在工作岗位上宜静不宜动,有固定工作的狮子座就乖乖待在原来的位置打拼;没有稳定工作的狮子座,今年也不要再挑剔了,先找份工作卡位,即使只是兼差性质也没关系,让自己先有稳定的收入,才有心思面对其他问题。至于创业的狮子座老板更是不要躁进,经营以守成为主,所有扩充或改革的计画都暂时等一等,直到更完善的规划出来后,再来推动会更顺利。

2007年主运落在学习宫的狮子座,充满自信,好胜不服输的性格令你进入战斗阶段,事事在掌握之中,但年中后因有厄星困扰,会有停滞不前的状况出现,学习情绪会受到动摇。

今年狮子座在与情人相处时,千万不要意气用事,或是用漫不经心的态度敷衍对方,这样容易与另一半发生严重争执,然后陷入冷战。那些还没有找到另一半的狮子座,不需要急着寻找一个靠岸的港口,或降低自己的标准来获得短暂的慰藉,这么做只是麻痹自己,让狮子座愈发感到孤独,倒不如好好享受一个人的自由,单身生活有时反而更有趣。
 
----------------------------------------
 
总之,概括地说,土星赖在我这儿不想走了,何时才能转运???我恨土星!!

Irrational Numbers

This story would have been a pleasant one, had not one of Pythagoras’ disciples, Hipposus, in his infinite curiosity while exploring various combinations of the three sides of right angled triangles, stumbled on the simplest of them all. He found that for a right angled triangle of unit length for two of its shorter sides the hypotenuse turned out to be a number he could not handle at all: √2.
 
√2 is obviously not an integer. Not it can be expressed as a ratio of two integers: a rational number, as we call them today. Then what is it? Does such a number exist? For a person 2500 back, this is a daunting question indeed. The existence of this number cannot be denied as it flows from his master’s famous theorem.
 
It is said that since this unpardonable discovery could not be laid to rest with the newfound system of logic of the Brotherhood, Pythagoras handled it the only way he could. To his eternal shame, Pythagoras ordered that Hipposus be drowned. Thus to my knowledge, Mathematics got its first martyr, long before any other physical sciences could claim such a distinction.
 
Thus in Mathematics was born another concept - irrational number - not as a result of any happy turn of events but as an unwanted offspring, which its own father tried to disown.

GRE之努力写好八股文 [4]

The following is a letter to the editor of the Waymarsh Times.
 
"Traffic problems here in Waymarsh are obviously reaching record levels. While just three months ago it would take me 15 minutes to get to work, it now takes closer to 25. Waymarsh should follow the example of our neighboring city Gearsville. Last year, Gearsville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work with coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in Gearsville have dropped since the policy was implemented, and several friends who live in Gearsville tell me that their trip to work is quicker than it used to be. With the terrible traffic and high pollution in Waymarsh, we must implement a policy similar to Gearsville's."
 
------------------------------------------------
 
The writer urges the editor that a policy, which promotes car pooling by giving out free gas coupons, should be adopted following the alleged success of a neighbouring city. The suggestion is out of good intention, but fails to convince as it is based on unwarranted asssumption, faulty analogue, as well as lack of statistically reliable evidence.
 
To begin with, the writer does not elaborate on the reason for the 10-minute save in traveling time when he goes to work. It could have been that he used to work on night shift, thereby evading the rush hour jam; whereas for the last three months he has been working on day shift. It could also have been that some part of his usual route has been under construction, thus impeding the traffic flow for the period of time.
 
Following the critic to the local traffic condition, the writer goes on to champion a reward policy by the neighbouring city. He also cites his friends' comment about quicker trip to work. But he has not realized that the success does not straightaway translate into Waymarsh's even if it follows suit. In Gearsville's case, the policy might have worked because very few people had been sharing their rides to work before the policy came into effect and the coupons for free gas were a prize attractive enough for people to switch mode. Yet, it could fail miserably to manifest when rolled out in Waymarsh, as local residents might have already been sharing their rides, and the number of coupons the local government could afford might not be attractive enough for those who have scoffed off the idea so far. As to his friends' breezier drive, it is not impossible that the efficiency comes from a newly built highway which smooths out the previously zigzag expedition.
 
In the light of the preceding argument, the writer finally suggests a similar approach to alleviate congestion and pollution in Waymarsh. But what should, in the first place, count for the present problems? Is the number of cars the sole culprit? One cannot be absolutely sure about this, if there are meagerly few lanes in most of the roads and the general road condition is scrubby. Moreover, if some gigantic chemical plant exhaling thick smoke everyday left untouched in the town, the outlook for environmental improvement, even if the policy works its fair part, would be groomy.
 
In summary, the writer has to make up for all of the gaps in the logic to bring the proposition to terms: the reason for his slower trip to work, the relevant account for Gearsville's before-and-after contrast, as well as the root cause for Waymarsh's condition. Failing to meet these ends, one can't help but questioning the validity of the argument.

"It is impossible for an effective political leader to tell the truth all the time. Complete honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician."
 
--------------------------------------

 
While one can easily find evidence laced in the history to support the statement, it does not justify lies in the contemporary context. After all, we are living in an era that hardly allows public lies to slink away as it could have five decades ago. And when people, supporters or adversaries, learn the truth - often through the hard way - the backfire does hurt painfully.
 
Some probably would find loads of stories to certify that guile is necessary to carry out certain military operations, especially during warfare. Most of us have read about the Battle of Normandy. True, if any of the allies had been "honest" on the plan before the D-Day, history would have been different from what we know today. However, as increasingly powerful weapons are being made, people have realized the grave fact that the human race is the only species in the world that can efface everything, including itself, from the earth. As Albert Einstein once said, "I don't know how WW III would be fought, but I know that WW IX would be fought by stones and sticks." Hit hard by World War II, it has been an internationally recognized practice for countries at odds to engage in slates of negotiations before resorting to the last step, that is, to open fire. And even if a country decides to do so, forewarning is a common step as it allows the non-military citizens, including foreign missions, to be evacuated from the anticipated war zone. The modern warfare has, at large, shifted its pivot from strategies to technologies. Therefore the need for lies, even during a war, has diminished.
 
When we look away from the battlefield, and zoom in to our everyday life, it is even more obvious that lies do not deliver. Often the press is flooded with news about covering ups, corrupted officials, immoral behaviours, so on and so forth. Naturally we feel cheated and disturbed. Now how disturbing it is to think that there could be more outrageous iniquity at large, and someone is trying to justify the "good wills" of such? It is as if being a politician could exempt one from the basic norms of the society - yes, norms which we were taught during grade one: "Thou shalt lie not".
 
At this point, I have to clarify that lies are different from reticence. If a politician shun away from saying something, the public cannot blame him/her for lying. I do think conscientious reticence is necessary under particular circumstances. We definitely do not want to see a raid to blast some drug syndicate go awry for the sake of being honest. Nor did we charge the former president for his affair with the intern - though morally contemptible, it is within his privacy and we have to concede that as noble as the president of the most powerful nation in the world, he is as carnal as we are - it was his lying during the interrogation that breached the law and eventually triggered the public outcry.
 
As lying proliferates the political landscape, the temptation to disabuse all the wrongs by re-defining our norms so as to provide seemingly righteous stands is growing. Yet, we have to realize that the aftermath would be devastating, as no one knows just how wrong is not so wrong that it could become right at the end of the day. If real democracy could be achieved by lying its way up, what’s the point for transparency in government operations, which many politicians are chanting nowadays?
 
Finally, if something were really so hazardous that revealing it to the public would be more hazardous, by the sanity of all discretion, just shut up.

A folk remedy for insomnia, the scent in lavender flowers, has now been proved effective. In a recent study, 30 volunteers with chronic insomnia slept each night for three weeks on lavender-scented pillows in a controlled room where their sleep was monitored. During the first week, volunteers continued to take their usual sleeping medication. They slept soundly but wakened feeling tired. During the second week, the volunteers discontinued their medication. As a result, they slept less soundly than the previous week and felt even more tired. During the third week, the volunteers slept longer and more soundly than in the previous two weeks. This shows that over a short period of time lavender cures insomnia.
 -------------------------------------------------
 
The report tries to convince people that the scent of lavender is a viable solution to insomnia by the result of a recent study, during which volunteers were monitored during their sleep. A careful examination into the claim reveals fatal logic flaws that undermine the credibility of the result, in turn the validity of the folk remedy.
 
First of all, in order to prove the effectiveness of a remedy, we must know the state of the volunteers before they are administrated the medication, in this case the scent of lavender. However, the reporter only briefly mentioned that these volunteers have chronic insomnia, without detailed elaboration. It is also questionable to cite the group of participants as a whole, instead of on an individual basis. Even though they are all chronic insomnia patients, it is unlikely that all of them have exactly the same duration of sleep every night, or share the same history or cause of insomnia. Also there is no evidence that prior to the study, they had been seeing the same doctor, or at least, prescribed the same dosage of the same sleeping pills, information based on which the later comparison would be drawn. To substantiate the claim, the reporter has to provide detailed and measurable information of the respective volunteers.
 
Secondly, to certify the healing power of lavender fragrance, the rule of ceteris paribus should be observed. Yet there is no account of the medicine and dosage the volunteers were taking during the first week, nor is there any description of their daytime activities. It is not impossible that some of them had previously been on less powerful medication than the rest had been. As a result, these people might be less dependent on the medication in the first place and were likely to report better sleeping quality in the subsequent weeks. Or maybe some of these volunteers, whose work used to involve intensive brain activities, happened to retire during the course of the study. Consequently, they could then kick back and relax, which was an indispensable contribution to their improved sleeping quality. At the very least, the reporter must make sure all the pertinent factors have been ruled out before arriving at the conclusion. 
 
Another innate defect lies in the very procedure of the study. The reporter fails to justify the results of the first and the second week, during which the lavender-scented pillows were constantly in presence. If lavender were such a powerful remedy, as the reporter asserts, why then it failed to salvage the volunteers from poor quality of sleep in the first two weeks? Lack of explanation to this very fact, per contra, readily invites doubt towards the conclusion that lavender cures insomnia.
 
Finally there is no proof of real and lasting elimination of insomnia by the end of the study. The word "cure" demands steadily good quality of sleep without the need for medication, including lavender scent, once “cured”. If symptoms relapse after the study, it is likely that, instead of a cure to insomnia, lavender scent provides nothing more than a temporary relief - that is, of course, by assuming the other loose ends in the logic have been fixed.
 
In summary, to establish a compelling inference, the reporter has to include statistically sound data showing each participant’s quality of sleep before, during and after the study. In addition, interference from other possible factors must be eradicated or minimized. It is also strongly advisable to modify the procedure of the study, or to provide cogent rationale as to why lavender only exhibited its effect after two weeks of presence. Failing to aver these sine qua non aspects inevitably leads to a precarious conclusion.

In some countries, television and radio programs are carefully censored for offensive languages and behavior. In other countries, there is little or no censorship.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Denmark has recently come into the spotlight of international press. But this time round, it is not for the exquisite cookies, nor is it for Anderson's famed bella Mermaid. The nation is denounced by Muslims all over the world for its forbearance over a caricature, which allegedly blaspheme the religion's revered prophet Muhammad, published in a left-wing newspaper. Danish authority stood by the publisher, citing its support for freedom of speech as the reason.
 
Has this unqualified support for freedom of speech created a more harmonious society for the country as a result? Hardly. The sense of resentment between the Islamic community and other groups of the society has deteriorated into public riots. The lack of censorship has provoked the subtle yet crucial balance of the nation. Contrary to the intention, freedom of speech has actually been victimized in a way that many are now paranoid at voicing out in the fear of plucking the taut nerve of the Islamic community. 
 
The above-mentioned incidence is sound evidence against the system of little or no censorship, as described in the second half of the topical statement. Now let's go back to take a look at the validity of the first half of the statement. There are basically two ways of censoring the mass media. One is the opposite to no censoring: censoring everything; the other is a selective or classification measure. Some countries adopt the former by appointing some authority, usually a dedicated government agency, to decide whether a program meets some preset criteria insofar as its release will not harm the general interest of the public. Thus, contents that have been identified as subjectively immoral, politically unorthodox, graphically grisly or in any other aspect unfit will have to be edited, if not obliterated, to legitimate the program for broadcast or public release. This approach is not less criticized than its antipode in the circle of media producers and artists, because it inhibits avant-garde ideas as well as probes into common yet spurious social norms. Producers and artists have to deliberate over issues like how to obviate persecutions, instead of focusing on the central subject and reveal their true observations.
 
The second approach is more eclectic, as it classifies the programs based on their contents and according to different groups of audience. A number of countries, including the United States, Japan, and some European countries, have opted for this more inclusive implementation. The rationale is as clear as the fact that people are different, so are their needs and interests. Years ago during my college days, the highly controversial movie 'South Park: The Longer, The Bigger & Uncut' once earned waves of guffaws including mine. Till today I can still vividly recall some of the farces that advertently or accidentally disparage the corporatism, racism and violence. But it would have been detrimental to callow juniors, who lacked the discretion to tell exaggeration from calumny, sarcasms from stereotypes, humors from absurdities. How could anyone expect an innocent mind to relate the light-hearted banters, such as "Oh my God! You killed Kenny! You bastard!!", with gruesome violence? Having said that, in reality the system is not free of friction: some movie producers have accused the censorship for hard-line classification which in turn leads to commercial flops. But this is about the actual deployment of the system, rather than an intrinsic flaw. After all, just like any other social development, it should be allowed for gradual improvement.
 
In conclusion, censorship is necessary to maintain the vulnerable balance against the backdrop of ruffling social problems. However, polarized verdict for everyone and everything alike is not a sensible solution. A less rigid approach serves better to reconciled the discord between the advocacy of media freedom, and the protection against harmful influence towards unintended audience.

谢谢亲爱的朋友们

奶奶已经没事了,谢谢所有关心她的朋友。奶奶是很善良很和蔼的人,是把我从小带大的人,可我长大了以后却很少陪她了,我觉得很惭愧。我讨厌新加坡,可是更讨厌在新加坡一呆就是8年的自己。昨天是这8年里上海离我最远的一天,这种无力感已经处于临界状态了,以后会怎么样呢?
 
不管怎么说,再次谢谢佛祖保佑我的奶奶,谢谢各位朋友的祝福,她很快就会好了!

[孟庭苇] 真的还是假的

奶奶正在手术,爸爸是大骗子,现在才跟我说是个大手术,上网查了一下果然如此。
跑去厕所哭了半个钟头,抬起头觉得人生像做梦,只是为什么没人把我捏醒???
 
一首老歌,早上5点开始在脑海里循环播放。。。
 
-----------------
 
我听说开始总是真的
后来会慢慢变成假的
 
充满温柔的眼神哪
是用来开心不是用来伤心的
 
我听说轻吻总是真的
但耳边细语常是假的
 
装饰爱情的诺言哪
是随口哼哼打发寂寞的歌
 
你的爱是真的还是假的
如果是真可以真多久
 
我一决定就不许自己后悔了
怕你是我有苦难言的选择
 
你的心是真的还是假的
如果是真让我看得懂
 
我一付出就不许自己后悔了
我的心很怕痛你要疼我
