movie I took a movie class last semester, and movies have become one of my favorite pastimes. I especially like one of the movies I saw in my class. I would like to share that with you. "In The Mood For Love" is a Hong Kong movie.
The setting is Hong Kong 1962 where Chau, the editor of a local newspaper, moves with his wife to a Shanghai community. He soon meets Li-chun, a married woman who lives in the same building, and because their spouses are often away from the home, the two spend more and more time together. The pair become great friends, but one day find out the awful truth that their partners are having an affair. Starring
Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung, Rebecca Pan, Lai Chun, Siu Ping-Lam, Chin
Chi-Ang

Add all the remaining ingredients except the lobster and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the lobster pieces to the skillet, cover, and steam on medium-high heat for 2 more minutes. Remove to a platter and serve.
poems This semester my writing teacher brings me a lot poems. I didn't know that poems can use just some simple words but express big ideas. Here I would like to share some of them with you. ANYWAY People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered, LOVE THEN ANYWAY If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives, DO GOOD ANYWAY If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies, SUCCEED ANYWAY Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable, BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight, BUILD ANYWAY People really need help but may attack you if you help them, HELP PEOPLE ANYWAY Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth, GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU'VE GOT ANYWAY. FREE We live free Air is free, clouds are free Valleys and hills are free Rain and mud are free The outside of cars The entrances of cinemas And the shop windows are free Bread and cheese cost money But stale water is free Freedom can cost your head B But prison is free We live free Orhan Veli Kanik (Translated by Bernard Lewis) RICHARD CORY Whenever Richard Cory went downtown, We people on the pavement looked at him; He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, Good -morning," and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich-- yes, richer than a king-- And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head. EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON 1869- 1935
