my life

God! I need your help!! I was double-stressed in this semester. I hafta face the Try Out, the many many tests in front of me! Time is just only 24-hours, how can I have a good life with such a short time?? 6 hours in school, then spend 1.30 hours in tuition, 6-7 hours to sleep, and another 6.30 hours? even though it’s a long time, but virtually it’s a short time! 6 hours are just like blinking our eyes *kling* and 6 hours have just passed quickly. How about the tests? Damn, I am really confused. I can’t do Science, Maths, etc., but why those lessons must be studied? Perhaps in the future I won’t use it. It’s just like a rubbish, which we don’t use it again. Must I face this all alone? I don’t want, don’t want, don’t want! Then I hafta suffer, to get a bad news that my grandpa has passed away last January 21st, 2012, two days just before the Chinese New Year. So God, I, as a common man, who can’t make rain and snow, need your hands to get me up. I believe, You are behind me exactly when I was typing this post .. *annyeong*

Princess Ashley Chapter 1

Once upon a time, there lived a princess named Ashley in a kingdom named Azure Kingdom. She was very pretty, kind, honest and clever. She had a beautiful voice. She liked to sing in front of many people. Everyone in the kingdom liked Ashley a lot because she was kind to them.

She had a father who was the king at Azure Kingdom. Her mother had passed away soon after she gave birth to Ashley. That’s why Ashley often missed her mother. But she didn’t feel sad. She faced it with a smile on her face.

One day, she had a weird dream. She dreamed that she was fighting a dragon with a human and a small creature. After that, she woke up. She was puzzled about that dream, but she didn’t care about it and continued to sleep.

After a few days, something very weird happened. When she was walking around in the kingdom, the time suddenly stopped. It looked like everybody had turned into stones. Then a human and a small creature appeared. She was shocked and afraid at that time. She looked at them. She felt that she had ever seen them before at somewhere. Then she remembered her dream. They looked the same as the human and the creature in her dream.

She asked them, “Who are you guys? Why did you come here? Why did everybody stop moving?”

The human said, “Don’t ask too many questions at the moment, please! It’s hard to answer them all at once. My name is Ricky and this creature is my partner, Lilty. We are from the planet of Starwish. I came here to ask for your help. Our planet is in danger. It is slowly being destroyed by a dark creature, named Sin. That’s the reason I came here and you don’t need to worry about them. They are fine.

Ashley asked, “Then why can I move?”

Ricky said, “It’s because you are a special human. Do you know hat your mother had ever saved our planet in the past? She was the one who defeated Sin and brought peace to our planet.”

Ashley was shocked after hearing to Ricky’s story. Then she thought about it for a while because there was something that didn’t make sense. How the hell could Sin still be alive if her mother had destroyed Sin before? Then she asked Ricky what she had been thinking for a while.

Ricky answered Ashley, “Sin is a creature that can revive for many times because of the sin that was committed by us in the past. Let me explain it more clearly. In our planet, there are something called ‘machina’. It is similar to machine but ‘machina’ is used for war. But the God forbids us to use ‘machina’. But we used it in the past and it caused Sin to appear in our world and since then we have been fighting it. But we can’t defeat them, by ourselves. We need somebody to help us defeat Sin. And that person is you, Ashley from the Azure Kingdom. Only you can help us to defeat Sin.”

Ashley was confused at that time. She didn’t know what she had to do. Then she said, “Let me think about it first.”

Ricky said, “Ok, Ashley. But please, help us. I’ll come again in a few days.”

Then they disappeared. Then everything became normal again. She felt relieved. Then after she had gone back to the palace, she thought about what Ricky said and what she should do about it.
