Sing Along [Shíjiān dàozhuǎn 时间倒转 by Magic Power 魔力力量]

Sometimes I wonder, what if we can turn back time? Can we do better than we did before? Would our life be better if we choose different actions? Can we prevent regrets? Would we live happier, knowing we choose the best options? But how can we know that we choose the best options? If we don't experience regrets, how can we cherish what we have now? If we choose different options, would the things we cherish now will still be precious to us?

Everything that happened, every options we choose, every actions we take, it made us who we are today. By experiencing regrets, we know how to do better, we know how to cherish things, we know that every single actions, no matter how small it is, can affect bigger things. Nothing happened is in vain, everything happened for a reason, just believe that God has bigger things planned for us.

English Idioms 01

Language is very interesting, I especially love how we can use a sentences to represent something that doesn't have anything to do with the word itself, like an idiom.

What is idiom? Wiki says that:

An idiom (Latin: idioma, "special property", f. Greek: ἰδίωμα – idiōma, "special feature, special phrasing", f. Greek: ἴδιος – idios, "one’s own") is a combination of words that have a figurative meaning owing to its common usage. An idiom's figurative meaning is separate from the literal meaning. There are thousands of idioms and they occur frequently in all languages. There are estimated to be at least twenty-five thousand idiomatic expressions in the English language.

Just like how I love chéngyǔ 成语 in Mandarin language, I also love idiom in English language.

Let's see some English idioms, their definition, and how to use it in our daily life..

Sing Along [I Believe by Fàn Yì Chén 范逸臣]

Sometimes even though we don't understand the meaning of the song, they still touch our heart. The first time I hear this song, I don't understand the meaning, but this mellow song somehow makes me feel a bit sad, but it still a good song nonetheless.
This song is actually the Chinese version from Korean film, My Sassy Girl.

Chinese Can Be Fun [Beautiful Chinese Character 01]

Have I mention before that Chinese people are brilliant? They really are, where else can you find such a beautiful writing character (mighty difficult do learn though) that can also be used to draw something that represent that very character? Japan maybe, but Japanese character is originated from China, so I rest my case. I'm sure I already mentioned to you that I'm not a big fan of Chinese language, seriously, why do they talk like they're mad or something? Can't their language be cuter like Japanese are? And the character, oh my Goddess, there's a lot of it, with different meaning and different way to read, and different way to use! I give up! Thankfully I still have my Pleco dictionary, my lifesaver in case of Chinese character.

Anyway, I want to share with you something I love about Chinese language, their beautiful Chinese character. So, the way the Chinese people writing now has changed from how it used to be. In fact, their writing used to be a drawing, that evolve into Chinese character. Here some example:

Do you notice the resemblance of the modern Chinese character with their respective drawing? Very cool isn't it?

Chinese Can Be Fun [chéngyǔ 成语 01]

I've told you before that I used to learn Chinese language in China, while I don't particularly like Chinese language, I do like to learn various language. Oh, and for you smartphone user, you may find Pleco Dictionary to be very useful in learning Chinese, I use this application myself, and it help me a lot!

After I learn Chinese for a while, I found out that Chinese people is very brilliant! How awesome is it to be able to draw using one or more character? Look at this exaple:

Can you see the word Měilì de gūniáng 美丽的姑娘 there? It means beautiful girl in English. and the picture represent the word itself! How cool is that?
