Origami Extreme - Part 09!!!

Image
By


I am back!!! It’s another Origami collection (Wohoo)! It’s AIRPLANES this time (anyone feels excited?!) Airplanes are awesome, you gotta admit that. This time, most of the models are from Gary Hsu’s Origami Airplanes that Fly – a book filled with great models and bad instructions. I was certainly happy folding them nonetheless, but come on, Mr.Hsu, try making clearer diagrams and your Origami will be much more popular! The keynote this time is a model by Marc Kirschenbaum – what a fantastic designer! Oh so that means this time all the models are American (where did the Japanese go?)!

One more fun fact: the model for the cover picture this time, it’s Bluebell (Yay)! :D OK I am done. Posting something on this page again really makes me happy and excited.

PART 09: AIRPLANES


FIGHTER by Gary Hsu – What a fun model, but can it really “fly” with this much weight?


FUTURISTIC FIGHTER by Gary Hsu – Can you spot the differences between this model and the previous “non-futuristic” one? :D


DOUBLE TAIL FIGHTER by Gary Hsu – Another “fighter” model. I think it should be “double-tailed” instead but whatever.



 INTERCEPTOR by Gary Hsu – Interceptors are always fun: they can… intercept stuffs!


FLYING WING by Gary Hsu – I wonder if this one even exists in real life. It’s still one of you favorites.


SPACE SHUTTLE by Gary Hsu – Say hi to Mr. Armstrong!


FUTURISTIC SHUTTLE by Gary Hsu – So this is what a shuttle in the future looks like. I wonder how many missiles it contains!


DART PLANE by Gary Hsu – It’s a dart, baby!


JET II by Gary Hsu – “Where is Jet I?” Well it’s very similar to this model, just not as fun to work with. Same thing, right?


And here we are presenting…

BYPLANE II by Marc Kirschenbaum!!! What a classy stud! This model was made with a two times bigger square than the rest, yet the final product was smaller. It’s a whole new different level, a leap on the Moon which would change mankind’s history forever… or not. But I was still so happy when it was completed.




This concludes another Origami post of mine. Special thanks to Bluebell, you were a very cute model! And thank you all for reading this post. I hope to make some more Origami soon!

How Many Words in This List That You Know?

By
How are you doing on your readings in general and more specifically in developing your vocabularies? Recently I started reading a book for my Finance class called The End of Wall Street by Roger Lowenstein. In the very first chapter of the book – a short 6-page prologue, there were many words that I did not know, and I am listing them here: destitute somnolent bulwark scrutinize (to) prick quiescent laudatory salient fervent (adj) frothy parlance umbilical (cord) placate carnage plenitude opiate dictum stupendous I was so surprised to see so many new words in such a small amount of pages! How is this Roger Lowenstein guy? You would think that while reading a finance book, the only words you would stumble upon are technical terms or lingos. Or maybe I am just bad. How many words in the list above that you already know?

Fei's Mooncakes

By
Fei is a Chinese guy at work who is socially awkward. He does not hang out with others, nor does he talk to anyone beyond “Good morning” and “How are you.” It’s not that Fei doesn’t want to: he’s unable to. But he would bring food to us as gifts – Chinese cakes, Chinese candies, Chinese snacks – for Lunar New Years and other Chinese festivals. That’s what people do in Asia as a way to maintain relationships. A social obligation. The Mid-Autumn Festival is near. No one at work besides me, another Asian, knows about this festival. Fei brings mooncakes, a type of round-shaped pastries, to work and gives each of us a box. The packaging looks gorgeous: a red square box with gold patterns depicting a lady dancing next to the moon. Inside is eight round pastries, about two inches in diameter. “Thank you very much!”, I say, as Fei hands me a box. Every day since, Fei comes over to my office and asks if I have tried the mooncakes. I have not, but I will soon, I tell him, feeling slightly guilty

The Ineffectiveness of English

By
I have interacted with English since kindergarten, and for the last four years I have been living in the US, using solely English for daily communications. Despite my effort of continual self-improving, I can’t quite understand the language. There have been explanations, of course, such as how it’s not my first language, how cultures and traditions get in place… Only recently, it strikes me with a more understandable reason: English is an ineffective language. There are so many disadvantages of English. First of all is the way one person talks to another. You can only use “I” and “you” no matter if the person you’re talking to is an earthworm or a high king. The same with “he”, “she”, “it”, and “they”. All the languages that I have ever associated with, which are French, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Cantonese, they have different words to address different people. I believe this should be the way to talk, since each person requires to be treated with respect, order, and
