the girl-Emily

Hi, this is Emily. A 24 years old Chinese girl. I used to live in north part of China before I came to Singapore, and finished my college in Nanjing. I have a happy and sweet family, my mam, dad, and me.

I have been studying in NTU for over half a year, majored in information studies program, and I am going to graduate this semester.

I love some kinds of food here, but can not agree with the consistent hot weather of Singapore very well. So I am missing the cold season of China badly. Because in winter, my friends and I could go skiing and enjoy the funny of fighting with snowballs.

what’s going on…

You did not reply my SMS, it doesn’t matter, you are busy.
The sweety word I sent to you, can you understand? Never mind, I just said what I wanna to say…
You thought I will never know your feeling, but you are not me, how can you say that?
Every little thing can affect you, except me… That’s Ok, because the distance is too far to express my heart.
We had so many plans, but will them can come true? I was quite sure. But, now, I do not know, really.
Life is too long, even longer than the distance between us. Just need a person to be with… Seems so hard, Why…
Say again, say again, that’s Ok, that’s Ok!
They are all my faults…

some times

Sometimes, life itself is just a large joke.
It gives you talents,
but these talents bring you so many troubles.
And you will never get rid of them.
But, meanwhile,
Most of our abilities will make life better and happier.
We overcome troubles and misunderstandings,
give a huge hug to our biggest gift we have ever own.
That gift is yourself.
That’s what life taught me…

BY THE WAY,
Movie, Marley and Me, Fantastic.
That is not a movie, it is life.

Over, Bye, and Good Night.

Friends’ leading actress

Jennifer had her first taste of acting at age 11 when she joined the ‘Rudolf Steiner’ School’s drama club. It was also at the ‘Rudolf Steiner’ School that she developed her passion for art. She began her professional training as a drama student at New York’s High School of the Performing Arts. In 1987, after graduation, she appeared in such Off-Broadway productions as “For Dear Life” and “Dancing on Checker’s Grave”.

Courteney Cox — Monica Geller

Mini Biography

Courteney Cox was born on June 15th, 1964 into an affluent Southern family. Her father Richard L Cox (1930-2001) was a business man married to her mother Courteney. She was the baby of the family with two older sisters (Virginia and Dottie) and an older brother Richard Jnr. She was raised in an exclusive society town, Mountain Brook, Alabama. Courteney was the archetypal Daddy’s girl, and therefore was understandably devastated when, in 1974 her parents divorced, and her father moved to Florida.
In 1989, “Family Ties” (1982) ended, and Cox went through a lean spell in her career, featuring in unmemorable movies such as Mr. Destiny (1990) with Michael Caine. Fortunes changed dramatically for Cox, when in 1994, she starred alongside Jim Carrey in the unexpected hit Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), and a year later she was cast as Monica Geller on the hugely successful sitcom “F•r•i•e•n•d•s” (1994). It was this part that turned her into an international superstar and led to an American Comedy Award nomination.

Valentine’s Day – one romantic movie

Roman Holiday is a 1953 romantic comedy. The film introduced American audiences to Belgian-born actress Audrey Hepburn, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress. Gregory Peck and Eddie Albert co-starred. The movie was directed and produced by William Wyler. It was written by John Dighton and author Dalton Trumbo. As Trumbo was on the Hollywood blacklist, he was not credited; instead, Ian McLellan Hunter fronted for him. Trumbo’s name was finally digitally added to the film’s credits when it was released on DVD in 2003.

In the 1970s, both Peck and Hepburn were approached with the idea of a sequel, but the project never came to fruition. The film was remade for television in 1987 with Tom Conti and Catherine Oxenberg, who herself came from a European royal family.

Audrey Hepburn as Princess Ann (‘Anya Smith’)

Hepburn was cast after a screen-test. After she had performed a dignified, subdued scene from the film, the director called "cut", but the cameraman left the camera rolling, capturing the young actress suddenly become animated as she chatted with the director. The candid footage won her the role; some of it was later included in the original theatrical trailer for the film, along with additional screen test footage showing Hepburn trying on some of Anya’s costumes and even cutting her own hair (referring to a scene in the film). It is sometimes claimed that Roman Holiday was Hepburn’s first American acting job. In fact, she appeared at least once on U.S. television in 1952 — a CBS Television Workshop production of Rainy Day in Paradise Junction .

Gregory Peck as Joe Bradley

The role was originally written with Cary Grant in mind. Grant turned the role down, believing he was too old to play Hepburn’s love interest. (The studio later persuaded Grant to play opposite her in Charade.) Peck’s contract gave him solo star billing, with the name of then-unknown Hepburn listed much less conspicuously in the credits. Halfway through the filming though, he requested that the producer give her equal billing — an almost unheard-of gesture in Hollywood.

Valentine’s Day – one piece of sweet cake

The taste of Tiramisu is believed similar with love, much sweet, but a bit bitter.

History of Tiramisu:

There is some debate regarding the history of tiramisu. Some believe it was actually first created during the First World War. Women in northern Italy made these desserts for the men to take with them as they were being sent off to war. Presumably to remind them of their love together; as the bitter-sweet taste of the dessert alludes to the perplexing feeling of love itself. Or more practically, they might have believed the high caffeine and energy content of these desserts will give their men more energy to fight and help bring them home safely.

Yet another story regarding tiramisu dates back even further. It is said that during the Renaissance periods, Venetian women made these to be shared with their men during the late hours because they believed it would give them the energy to make more vigorous love later. Whatever the case may be with this romantic “pick me up” dessert, its ties to love are definitely unmistakable upon your first bite.
