A castle to hide my joy

Recently, so many unhappy things bind on my back

I hard can't breath

I want a place to release those sorrows


I want to find a place to relax my soul


I want to disappear

The ancient Greek trama~ Antiheon

Jean Anouilh's play Antigone is a tragedy inspired by Greek mythology and the play of the same name (Antigone, by Sophocles) from the fifth century B.C.

In English, it is often distinguished from its antecedent by being pronounced in its original French form, approximately "Ante-GŌN."

The play was first performed in Paris on February 6, 1944, not insignificantly during the Nazi occupation thereof.

A comparison is sometimes drawn between the French occupation and the play, with the character of Antigone representing courageous members of the French resistance, while her uncle Créon represents the collaborators to the German occupiers, however this interpretation is somewhat simplistic, and is not hugely helpful in understanding the deeper themes of the play.


Just as in the myth and original play, the action follows the battle for Thèbes in which both of Antigone's brothers have been killed.

Créon, now king, has decreed that while Antigone's brother Etéocle should be given the usual respectful burial, Polynice must be left as carrion for scavengers.


Antigone chooses to attempt to bury Polynice, and is brought before Créon as a prisoner. Créon attempts to overlook the offense, perhaps because Antigone is betrothed to his son Hémon, but Antigone refuses to be denied the responsibility for her actions, whether they be viewed as guilt or credit.

A twist in this version is that Créon is not certain and does not care which body is lying on the pavement, and decided it would be Polynice.


Thus, the noble cause that Antigone champions in Sophocles's drama is undermined here.

No longer does Antigone nobly choose death; in Anouilh, she rejects life as desperately meaningless but without affirmatively choosing a noble death.

The crux of the play is the lengthy dialogue between Créon and Antigone concerning the nature of power, fate, and choice, during which Antigone says, "I spit on your happiness!

I spit on your idea of life--that life that must go on, come what may.

You are all like dogs that lick everything they smell.

You with your promise of a humdrum happiness--provided a person doesn't ask much of life.

I want everything of life, I do; and I want it now!

I want it total, complete: otherwise I reject it! I will not be moderate.

I will not be satisfied with the bit of cake you offer me if I promise to be a good little girl.

I want to be sure of everything this very day; sure that everything will be as beautiful as when I was a little girl. If not, I want to die!"
Although Anouilh based his play on the Sophocles play of the same name, there are a few differences.

These include the absence of the blind prophet Tiresias (who was central to the Sophocles' "Antigone"), the substitution of the Choral Odes for a single character representing the chorus, and the addition of a nanny that takes care of Oedipus' two daughters.

Yesterday Once More By Carpenters

When I was young

I'd listen to the radio

Waitin' for my favorite songs

When they played I'dsing along,

It made me smile

Those were such happy times

And not so long ago

How I wondered where they'd gone

But they're back again

Just like a long lost friend

All the songs I loved so well

Every Sha-la-la-la

Every Wo-wo-wo

Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

That they're starting to sing's

So fine

When they get to the part

Where he's breakin' her heartIt can really make me cry

Just like beforeIt's yesterday once more

Lookin' back on how it was

In years gone by

And the good time that I had

Makes today seem rather sad

So much has changed

It was songs of love thatI would sing to then

And I'd memorize each word

Those old melodies

Still sound so good to me

As they melt the years away

All my best memories

Come back clearly to me

Some can even make me cry

Just like beforeIt's yesterday once more

I don't want to miss a thing By Aerosmith

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing

Watch you smile while you are sleeping

While you're far away dreamingI could spend my life in this sweet surrender

I could stay lost in this moment forever

Every moment spent with you is a moment

I treasureDon't want to close my eyes

I don't want to fall asleepCause

I'd miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Cause even when I dream of you

The sweetest dream will never doI'd still miss you baby

And I don't want to miss a thing

Lying close to you feeling your heart beating

And I'm wondering what you're dreaming

Wondering if it's me you're seeing

Then I kiss your eyes

And thank God we're togetherI just want to stay with you in this moment forever

Forever and everI don't want to miss one smile

I don't want to miss one kiss

I just want to be with you

Right here with you, just like this

I just want to hold you closeFeel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment

For all the rest of time

It is another song of my favoriate.

The gift By 98 Degrees

The Snow is falling

The city is white

Your eyes are shining like diamonds tonight

And we're all alone

There's noone home

Your finally in my arms again

The night is silent

And Christmas is here

I couldn't ask for more than having you near

Cuz I love you girl

I always will

And now I know the moment is right

The moment is right

"Cause I've been waiting to give this gift tonight

I'm down on my knees

There's no better time

It's something to last for as long as I live

Tonight I'm gonna give you

All my heart can give

It is one of my favoriate songs.

Maybe it is not the time.

The Futire of Computers

※ What is Moore’s Law?

◎The data density of storable information on a silicon circuit, and the corresponding computing speed, is doubling every 18 to 24 months.

※What is quantum computing and its two application?

◎Information would not be stored as strings of “1”s and “0”s, but as a series of quantum mechanical states: spin direction of electrons or polarization orientations of photons.
◎Could hold more than one bit of information.
◎Making lightning-fast searches through a database or breaking codes or encryptions.

※What are the two obstacles of quantum computing? How to overcome this problem?

◎The slightest outside disturbance, such as heat or light, can destroy the balance of the quantum states.(Working with slow and frozen light has further advanced the possibilities of quantum computing.)
◎Will naturally tend to collect errors.(Spreading information over several qubits so that the erroneous decay of one of the quantum states will not cause information loss.)

※How does slow and frozen light advance the possibilities of quantum computing?

◎In this technique, light is passed through clouds of sodium atoms which have been supercooled to the almost absolutely zero.

Go Gentle

You have grown wings of pain,

and flap around the bed like a

wounded gull

calling for water, calling for tea, for

grapes

whose skins you cannot penetrate.

Remember when you taught me

how to swim? Let go, you said,

the lake will hold you up.

I long to say, Father let go

and death will hold you up.

Outside the fall goes on without us.

How easily the leaves give in,

I hear them on the last breath of wind,

Passing this disappearing place.

25th High School Reunion

We come to hear the endings

of all the stories

in our anthology

of false starts:

how the girl who seemed as hard as nails

was hammered into shape;

how the athletes ran out of races;

how under the skin our skulls rise

to the surface

like rocks in the bed

of a drying stream.

Look! We have all

turned into

ourselves.

To a Daughter Leaving Home

When I taught you

at eight to ride

a bicycle, loping along

beside you

as you wobbled away

on two round wheels,

my own mouth rounding

in surprise when you pulled

ahead down the curved

path of the park,

I kept waiting

for the thud

of your crash as I

sprinted to catch up,

while you grew

smaller, more breakable

with distance,

pumping, pumping

for your life, screaming

with laughter,

the hair flapping

behind you like a

handkerchief waving

goodbye.

This pome has a vary important menaing for me.

I study in a college where is far from my hometown.

I miss my family as the parents care about their daughter.

The first time I read this pome , I almost burt into tears.

Your Children Are Not Your Children

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself.

They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.

You may give them your love but not your thought,

For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,

For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.

For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that

His arrows may go swift and far.

Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;

For even as He loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

Music I Heard

Music I heard with you was more than music,

And bread, I broke with you was more than bread;

Now that I am without you, all is desolate;

All that was once so beautiful is dead.

Your hands once touched this table and this silver,

And I have seen your fingers hold this glass.

These things do not remember you, beloved,

And yet your touch upon them will not pass.

For it was in my great you moved among them,

And blessed them with your hands and with your eyes;

And in my heart they will remember always,－

They knew you once, O beautiful and wise.

A Winter’s Tale

Yesterday the fields were only grey with scattered snow,

And now the longest grass-leaves hardly emerge;

Yet her deep footsteps mark the snow, and go

On towards the pines at the hill’s verge.

I cannot see her, since the mist’s pale scarf

Obscures the dark wood and the full orange sky;

But she’s waiting, I know, impatient and cold, half

Sobs struggling into her frosty sigh.

Why does she come so promptly, when she must know

She’s only the nearer to the inevitable farewell?

The hill is steep, on the snow my steps are slow-

Why does she come, when she knows what I have to tell?

A Deux

I pinch your arm,

You twist my leg,

I make you cry,

You make me beg,

I dry your eyes,

You wipe my nose,

And that’s the way

The kissing goes.

As the title "Deux", it told about a story of a couple.

Deux is a franch word, meaning double dancing.

It depicted the sorrow, the happy time, and the sweet time in their life.

Where.....will

Where can I stay???

I always try to find the answer.

But I usually failed.

The answer changes as I grow up.

I have many different choices during thhe past times.

It always changes when my dreams are broken.

Can I say that it never appears.

My high school roommate

I lived in the dorm when studying in senior high school.

In the dorm, I met many people and became good friends with them, especially my roommates.

In my sleeping quarter, including me, lived six people, all of them were nice guys.

In this picture, each of them was my roommate and I was included in the picture.

It was me in the upper right corner.

In the lower right corner was Vicky, who liked to hit Tai fist.

She was very tall and thin. Vicky was a pretty girl but liked to dress in neuter.

So I used to call her ”Gentleman.”

We shared secrets with each other, because we had known one another for more than ten years.

In the upper left corner was “Watermelon,” its her nickname.

She was the team leader of school team of women’s baseball.

She helped me to move the heavy objects and rode me on bike to merchandise.

This guy was really a good helper.

In the lower left corner is not only my roommate but also my classmate, Gill.

Gill was my class leader and she was good at schoolwork, sports, etc.

After school, you could see her jogging at the playground everyday.

She really liked to eat fruits. The fruit have been piled in her book cases.

It was really spectacular.

In the room, we had many unforgettable memories, such as drinking wines on the Eve night, having a birthday party for each star, etc.

We shared our joy, sorrow, worries, and tears with each other.

Even though we have graduated from school, all of us still remember the past sweet times.

Town And Country

Growing up in a small village, I was eager to live in a big city.

After graduating from a senior high school, I now study in a university which is situated in downtown.

In the beginning few days, I was very excited to accept a totally different life that I had never had before.

But few weeks passed, I became much tried than ever before.

I have asked myself why I would become so.

It has been my dream to live in such a big city, why I would be so low-spirited.

Among many reasons, I find that the differences between town and country affect me most.

And I try my best to get used to my new life here.

However, many events still confused me.

Though I am in the same place, Taiwan, I have met many culture shocks between town and country, such as the lifestyle in daily life, the people, the social values, the natural environments, etc.

And these reasons also explain well why I cannot get used to my new life in town.

Just like the ordinary people living in the village, I had lived in a regular way and always early to bed and early to rise. Even in my weekend time.

But when I was in town, everything was not the same.

They got up when I had finished my breakfast.

They ate breakfast when I had my lunch.

They started to prepare dinner when I had just thinking what I wanted to eat for a late night snack.

The moment I went to bed, they may ready to have fun. In country, we used to be slow-footed.
But in town, the much fast you are, the much opportunities you will get. So everyone has fast pace.

They walk fast, write fast and even eat fast.

For a person like me who is usually in a slow pace, it is really hard to get used to.

In the village, you could know almost every member of your neighbors.

Everyone was so energetic to say “Hello” to the people who passed by.

But in this big city, I never see the one who lives next to me.

It just likes that you live in an empty island.

Sometimes we saw each other, no hello, and no smile, I only saw cold and detached in their eyes.

I was really feeling down. How I miss the passion in country, the energy and the smile.

I miss the people who have unsophisticated soul in the country. I have seen so many business people who have emotionless and lifeless faces and morale.

They have totally different social values with me.

Compared with them, I am not easy to show others how I feel.

I used to hide my really emotions rather than show it.

But they let the people who around them know how they really appreciate and thank to them.

Take the way they show their emotions for example, they do not feel shy to say “I love you” to others.

Especially on festival days, not like us villagers showing passions in a blate way, they hung and kiss on the streets.

I used to stand on the top of my house, and looked through my village.

I could see a lot of green fields, watched birds flying in the sky, feeling the wind swaying and breathing the fresh air.

I remembered that I usually played with my brothers and sisters at the wide grasslands.

I have seldom seen wide green lands, since I came to this big city.

What I see everyday are skyscrapers. Even you stand on the top of one building, you still can not see the mountains far away.

Everyday I have smelled the dirty and polluted air.

The pasture lands may be situated on the one small part of a park which is located at your neighbor.

I seldom hear the birds singing in the morning.

Feeling that I am the role of "泰山” who can not get used to the life of city.

Compared with the life in town, living in country seems a lifestyle of elder people.

But it makes me feel relaxed, free and easy, not feeling tired and fatigued when I live in town.

To be used to the enthusiastic greeting between neighbors, I am eager to talk to the people who live around me.

I really miss the group, my neighbors in my hometown, who sit together, chat with each other, and have a lot of fun everyday.

Growing up in different ways and circumstances, we people who come from country can not identify with the thoughts and opinions of them, the people who are grew up in town, instantly.

Being a rustic child, I usually played and ran at a large field.

I still remembered how I was vibrated to the green lands which had the lease of life and abundant crops.

The gold ear of rice swayed in the breeze with the jade green leaves.

But standing in the downtown area, the scene around you is skyscrapers.

The hand you raise could cover the small blue sky on your head.

Living in the city is a hard and tough journey for me.

Since I decide to live in the city, I have to try my best to follow their steps.

Trying to find the balance between town and country will help me to live better.

Ｉ'm Nobody!
Who are you?
Are you-Nobody-Too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell they'd advertise-you know!
How dreary-to be-Somebody!

This is one of my favorite pomes.
Its auther is Emily Dickinson.
She was a fascinated woman.
I read this pome from my senior English book.

Thousands of hundreds of English pomes, I especially love this one.

I wnat to be a nobody rather than a somebody.

Be a nobody, I could do many things that I wnat to do.

I do not have to take care how people look at me.

I do not have to worry about whether the paparazzi pry into my everyday life.

I can be myself and laugh exaggeratedly, not the people who smile all the day on th TV but never feel the real happy.

I love the way I live as a nobody.

The raining day

It has rained for several days.

Sometimes in the night, I can see brume.

I think that situated in this place where my college is may be the main reason.

Chang Gung University situated at the north Taiwan in a high latitude.

In the winter, it is really cold and has strong wind.

But it never snows because the latitude is not high enough.

Oh~raining day .

Oh~not a happy day.

I don't like the raining day.

I can't do things.

I don't have the feeling to go out with my friends.

Almost of my plans can't on the schedule.

Lord~~~please end this kind of raining days.

Oh~~~please!!!!!!!!
