I just want to share all my knowledge, ideas, and experiences with the world. It makes me happy to know that I can inspire others.

An act of kindness

Sorry my Monday post is late. 😦  For those who are waiting for the translations, I’m going to work on it after I finish this post. I have actually been very busy as well as not feeling so well due to the extreme weather in Toronto right now. The cold cracks my fingers and makes it very painful for me to type. 😥

Anyhow, for this post, I would like to talk about being kind. Honestly, living in our world, sometimes life seem so hopeless. The weak is oppressed by the strong; those with power abuses it; people are looking out for themselves. But despite all that, I believe there is good in this world.

Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 16.

To my dear readers,

This chapter is simple, but it took me FOREVER because the sentence structure is totally backwards in Chinese. I mean, it’s usually backwards anyway but this chapter was extra backwards. =____=” Ugghhhh. It takes so long to make it sound as normal as possible.

This is my promoted post: Social Anxiety I used to suffer from social anxiety. I shared my experiences and hope to inspire some of you.

This is the chapter in Chinese

Chapter 16     Martial Arts Dream

“Master! I have brought a pervert. He dared to come into our female territory!” The woman angrily glared at Xuan Luo as she spoke to an old man.

“Aaaii…Zi Yan, what happened?” The old man calmly responded.

“Master. This guy came to our residence acting all secretive. He also caused shi mei to fall!!”

Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 15.

To my dear readers,

I don’t have too much to say. I just want to thank those of you who continues to follow my translation. I’ve been receiving more comments lately, and it makes me feel more important. Haha. I will try to slack less and translate more than two chapters a week!!!

This is my promote post: Wise words <– please read. It’s good stuff.

This is the chapter in Chinese.

Chapter 15     Lost

Xuan Luo had no idea how big Wu Dang truly was. As a result, he actually got lost. He had no idea where he was.

Aside from a couple of striking objects/locations, Wu Dang’s architecture looked very similar. Thus, it wasn’t surprising that Xuan Luo had gone the wrong way.

Personal thoughts

For this Monday, I’m going to share some of my personal thoughts. Please do not take it personally because it is how I feel. By no means am I trying to target anyone.

First of all, my blog has surpassed 55000 views!!! This is amazing to me, because if it weren’t for the translations, I would have not have achieved this until many years down the road.

Before translating, I would get about a hundred views a week. Now, I get hundreds of views per day.

Although most people come for the translation and they don’t give a shit about me, it is still nice that they want to continue reading my translations.

It pushes me to want to be better.

My goal is to get more views. (That’s not my only goal, but I’m only talking about blog related things right now.)

Why?

Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 14.

To my dear readers,

Sorry! I was procrastinating. I didn’t want to translate and thus, I haven’t uploaded anything until now. -____-” I was looking at the Chinese version, and I’m like, nope, I don’t wanna do this right now. *Goes and do something else.* Haha. It is so hard to push myself. SO I HOPE YOU GUYS APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!

Anyway, this chapter was pretty good in my opinion. It only took me 5 minutes to read it but hours to translate *ugggh*.

Chapter 14     Xuan Yuan Duan Ai

Seeing how there were so many people surrounding the ba gua stage, Zhang Ri frowned.

“Let’s go. I think something happened!”

Zhang Ri did not try to conceal his concern, thus, the two quickly ran towards the stage.

Usually, there were not this many disciples here. For some reason, today, the number of disciples have dramatically increased. It was obvious that something had happened.

Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 13.

To my dear readers,

This chapter took me forever near the end. I’ve never told you guys, but I use the Chinese dictionary to help me translate. I probably use this at least a hundred times when I work on a chapter (I can understand the main idea when I read it on my own, but when I translate, I try to be as exact as possible). If I am still confused, I go on baidu (a Chinese search engine) to see how the word is used in a sentence. After that, I go on thesaurus.com to help broaden my vocabulary (because I don’t want to keep using the same words over and over again. Ex. “quickly”, “said”, “yelled”).

I also have to rewrite the sentence structure in a way that it make sense in English. (For greater understanding, if I were to say, “What do you want to do?” in Chinese, it would be, “You want do what?” We do not have a word for “to”). It can take forever.

Therefore, if you guys appreciate my work, please donate to me! Any amount is appreciated. It would mean so much to me.

Chapter 13     Ba Gua Stage

As a matter of fact, what Tian Yu Zi said were not all true. But one thing that is true is that Wu Dang  definitely has many different types of nei gong xin fa. The best xin fas are the ones that are the most difficult to learn; although it would depend on the person.

But Tian Yu Zi lied about something significant. The thing is, Tian Yu Zi actually cannot produce nei li. His body state didn’t allow him to learn it. As a result, he switched to wai gong instead. Wu Dang’s style was actually created by Tian Yu Zi. Although it didn’t consist of nei li, the amount of damage it could conceive was still quite substantial.

Recap

2015 New Year celebration

As 2015 draws to a close, I want to take the time to reflect on what I have gone through this year.

This year, I’m done quite a few things I never thought I would do.

  1. I started composing my own melody/songs (I never thought it was possible until I tried).
  2. I started blogging regularly (every Monday but I’ve been late lately *It’s 11:56PM right now*).
  3. I started creating raps (I never thought it was possible until I tried). You can read my first rap here
  4. I started translating a Chinese novel into English (I never thought I would translate a novel, especially when I’ve never actually read a book in Simplified Chinese before). It is definitely challenging, but it is not impossible. You can read my translation here
  5. I went speed dating (I never thought I would actually try something like that). It was an interesting experience. You can read about it here
  6. I went to hand out socks for the homeless. You can read about my experience here

I did a lot of things I never thought I would do. I guess I just wanted to experience newer things. I feel like most of the time, we try to convince ourselves of why we don’t want to do something because we’re afraid of failure.

Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 12.

To my dear readers,

Merry Christmas! I hope you guys spend the time happily with your loved ones. Don’t spend too much time reading translation novels online :P. Haha just kidding. Anyway, this chapter actually took me a whole afternoon/night to translate because I kept on getting distracted. It is hard to be a translator. 😦  I am kind of unmotivated at the moment. Nonetheless, I won’t quit.

Here is my promoted post: The Tiny Frog <– This is a good story. Please read ❤

Here is the Chinese version of this chapter.

Chapter 12     Oppressed

In regards to Tian Yu Zi, Xuan Luo didn’t know what to think. First and foremost, Tian Yu Zi was way too lax with his image. He did not act like his status at all. Although Tian Yu Zi gave him a friendly vibe, as a Master, he should be more serious.

Zui Wu Dao. Part 2 -Chapter 11.

To my dear readers,

Sorry, I’m slow again. I honestly wish I was less lazy and that I could translate everyday. But sadly, I do not have enough passion, brain power and self-motivation to do so. (I’ve checked out some of the other translators and they are so hardcore. Some of them love translating and are addicted. Unfortunately, I’m not. lol) Nonetheless, I hope you like this chapter.

This is the Chinese version of this chapter.

Chapter 11     Bummed out

Xuan Luo was bummed out. He didn’t know what type of clash he had; perhaps he should have looked at the calendar beforehand. (This is related to superstition. Chinese people follow a lunar calendar and it will tell you which days are lucky or not).

My observations of men and women (In general)

men vs women

Disclaimer: This is based on my experiences. There are definitely people who do not fall under what I say as well. Please do not be offended.

Throughout my years, I’ve noticed some extreme differences between guys and girls.

Here is what I have noticed about guys:

They tend to be more logical. For example: If taking Route A will get them to their destination without issues, they will continue taking Route A from now on.
