I must bear a mask..Nande desuka?

Oh my godddd, come on... yeungon!!! dont be so rude to SIL. Dont vex this topic by some hatred words
It''''s my turn. Not much to tell about my nick. Some ppl think I love FALL., but.....not really. Frankly, when I reg it, I didnt know its meanings, just find it cute , and....it''''s also a signal for some of my buddies in a chat room (it''''s closed now) know I''''m here
My avatar is my favourite actress.. My friends say they dont like this photo cuz she, my idol, can be more pretty than that. However, I prefer this..... Choi Jil Sil, my avatar, she...looks modest and gentle, huh ?
p/s: SIL, everything I can guess hav been shown above I will spend my spare time thinking about it thoroughly. My exam is coming. I hav tried my best to make my reading skill better..I''''ve read a lot as u advised, but...I feel a bit nervous.....Oh my god, what can I do now????????? At this time next week, will Ibe happy or deeply disappointed ?
Have fun, guys

It isnt in the stars to hold your destiny but yourself

Don''''t accuse me! I am not being rude as I am not as always. All that I am doing is figuring out or hypothesising what a nick might mean. Not the person. I hope you see this obvious and BIG difference. That nick like some others is very ambiguous and is subject to many readings. Who knows my reading is not what Sil intended? I can imagine many contexts into which my reading fits. Here is an example. Sil might be a lady with a broken heart. There í some evidence that she is a thorn bird and she might want to use this nick to warn off those lads trying to approach her before the wound heals itself completely. If that turns out to be the case, this nick does her good, indeed!
If I am not muddle-minded, there is something wrong (as far as English gram is concerned) in embe''s signature.
It isnt in the stars to hold your destiny but yourself.
????
My humble opinion is that it should be(at least): ''It isn''t the stars that hold your destiny but yourself.''

Damn it, I hav just typed a long reply but TTVN screws up....Next time, I will save it first..
Yeungon, sorry if I''''m so hasty. I just think SIL may be in the bad mood and she needs something relieved.
Regarding my signature, it''''s not mine at all. it''''s William Shakespears''''s. The origin is "It''''s not in the stars to hold our destiny but ourselves". I saw it when I sent a card taken from www.123greeting.com. U can catch it there. Click on Good luck in the category (in the left), then turn to the page 2.
Of course, like u, I dont understand why "It''''s not IN the stars...."

I won''t start a debate, but in Shakespearian language, and even so with today''s language the sentence: "It''s not in the stars to hold your destiny but yourself" is indeed correct.
It''s not IN something..is the equivalent of it''s not up to something, or it''s not in controlled by, or it''s not in power of.
Something like "It''s not in your mum that you pass your test, but yourself"
Or something like that...bad example. Anyhow, it means: "It''s not up to your mum/it''s not in your mum''s power/it''s not controlled by your mum"...that you fail your test.
And yeungon, despite your great intention, it did hurt me severely, I won''t argue with you why, or anything as such. But please do refrain from making such comments in the future.
Thank you.
To: Embemuathu. =) Keep the good work flowing!

Như thế thì chữ TO phải đổi thành THAT chứ nhỉ? Brit chỉ hỏi thôi, ko có ý định làm hỏng topic này bằng cách bàn luận về ngữ pháp nên sau khi thi xong sẽ chuyển nó sang chủ đề khác.

"It''s not in your mum THAT you pass your test"
I used THAT in this case because I''m the one who''s sitting the test not my mum.
It''s "TO" in the case of the stars, because it''s EITHER the stars or you that hold the destiny.
If my mum could also sit the test for me, it could also be: Its not in your mum to pass the test (IF she sits it).
^^
I''m not sure if I''m making sense.

Sil, thank you for ... ''thank _you'' me! No, I am too busy to engage myself in any sort of argument or debate now.
If it did hurt you, take my apology and let me try some magical words to heal both of your wounds.
Sil, you have loved with all of your burning heart, that is good. What is NOT YET good for you is that you seemingly do not have a cold head when difficult decisions are called for.
Love with your burning heart,
Make decisions with your cool head.
If I fail to make myself understood, then assume that I mean more than what I have been able to say.

Therê?Ts not much to say about my nickname, well, a characterless one in some way, yet I used to love Britney so much. And also, I want to keep my username consistent in any forum on the Internet.
For the avatar, it?Ts such a pity that it doesn?Tt look as beautiful as the original one, but I still like it a lot and use it as my ava so that everyday, when I log into TTVN, I can see my best friends?T faces even though one of them is now far away. Indeed, it?Ts not hard to find a friend in life, but having a true one who always sticks up to you whatever might happen is not easy at all. I?Tm so blessed to have found not only one but two bestest friends since I was a three-year-old child, the two in whom I lay my absolute trust and my tremendous love. The picture was taken on one of the last days we spent chatting, shouting, laughing, eating, watching movies together? oh I miss her?
Does anyone here have a friendship of three? If you do, then you would perfectly understand what I?Tm feeling. It?Ts kind of different from of a friendship of only two or four?
To Sil: There must be something wrong with your PC rather than TTVN, I can see your avatar quite well.
