Ruddy won the last year's prize.I like the painting of last year's winner.
Because <> makes me uncomfortable.
The colour is gloomy.The lines are abstract.The style just likes an old
man.The winner of the Archibald prize isn't same as the winner of the

Fly Far And High

2005-06-07T19:36:00.000+10:00

You open a window,
I find hope out of the window
You said unknown words
Let me discover thirst
You light a lamp
I see the bright
You walk away slowly
I have no choice
I am not free myself from you in fact
I pretend to be silence
But how to console this unkown future
Don't be in a difficult position again

Let me pass through alone
this grieve street
How to forget your shady back
I call up all my courage to forget this distance
How to tell you
Love has been burn out slowly
It would be better to fly far and high
To let meself free
No way to remove
How to open a mouth,
How to say I love you
Let me pass throught alone this grieve street
This song was sung by Yi Lian Lin.She is a well-known
singer in Asian .Li zhong Sheng wrote this song for her.
He is a famous song writer in TaiWan.When they
formed a partnership,they were lovers.They married
in 1998,but divorced in 2004.
The song is about two lovers.When they fell in love,
they felt everything was wonderful.The love gave
them hope,bright and courage.With the time gone,
they didn't love deeply any more,as the song said "
Love has been burn out slowly".At last,they said
good-bye.It was a sorrowful love story.
I like this song.The melody is graceful and
sentimental.The singer's voice is special.I like her very
much.She isn't a beautiful woman,but she has special
glamour as her sound.When I hear thesong,I always
think today we are busy at work and housework,we
have no time to care for our emotion,it is dangerous.
For lovers the most important thing is to keep love
fresh.

An Exam That I've Failed

2005-05-04T17:13:00.000+10:00

When I was a year five student,I didn't pass a
maths exam one time.That was the first time I didn't
pass the exam.
One day in the morning,I went to the school,my
classmates tell me the bad news.I felt upset all the
morning.I thought my parent would be unhappy,
the tearcher wouldn't like me again,even if I worried
about my future.I stayed at the classroom and didn't
talk with the other classmates,I felt shy.But I had to
face the fact in the afternoon.The teacther asked
me why I was failed.I couldn't say anything.When I
went home my father askedme the same question,at
that time I hoped there were a hole under the ground,
I would hiddle inside.
From that time,I hate maths.But I have to get rid
of this trouble.BecauseI don't like explaining the
reasons every time for it.

ground,one side is beach.The sand is soft and clean.

blue .The weather is sunny.When I lift up my head
I can see some shipsfloating on the sea.Sometimes
I play the balls with my son on the grass.Sometimes
my son and I swim in the sea,or I want my son to
watch the fishes and ships.It is happy and quiet.

The Differences between owner's wedside and the review

2005-04-28T09:27:00.000+10:00

I read the owner's webside and the review about Arancia.
It was very different.The owner showed two pictures,one was
bedroom,the other was outside view.I didn't know what the
different views between Arancia and the other places.The
owner left some informations to explain simply about
the views.But I didn't know where Arancia is or how far
it is from my home.It is a big problem.
The review described many things,such as:the meaning
of Arancia,the buildings,the views,the food,the distance from
the city,the mount Canobolas,the highlands air``````
If I just read the owner's webside,I would't go to there.
But I read the review ,I am eager to go to there.I think it
is the big different result.

Manly outdoor Arts and Craft Market on the beach front.There
are many restaurants,I can have a lunch there.Maybe I can see
competitions,because Manly beach is a spectacular setting for
annual sporting.Then I will go shopping at Manly's famous

TYPHOON

2005-04-24T21:37:00.000+10:00

Every year in China in my homtown I experience typhoon.
Typhoon continues to be one of the best souce of information
about current topical cyclones around the world.
A topical cyclone is a storm that derives its energy from
cloud formation and rainfall . Topical storm in the Northwest
pacific is a typhoon.
Typhoon can kill people.Most of the victim were sweap
away by flash floods or crushed bylandlides and fallen trees.
I was in China two years ago.At a stomy night I heard that
stong winds and heavy squalls were expected off and on
throught the day.When I looked out the window, I saw an
uprooted tree.The Typhoon destoyed millions of dollars'
worth of crops.
I think it is important to pay attention to weather forecast
,and get more ways to protect it.
