Help translating Chinese to English

Hey guys,

I am wondering if any of you could assist me with translating Chinese test to english?

I know if you are reading this you are thinking, GOOGLE A TRANSLATOR MORON....but the problem is, it is text that was hand written to me, so I have no Idea how to enter the text......not to mention that direct translation from chinese in next to impossible.

Can anyone out there read Chinese?

it's not particularly clear because of the way the light is shining on some of it, but those are traditional Chinese characters, which makes it harder for me to read unfortunately. It looks like Chinese chengyu (sayings) which are four character sayings with particular meanings. Unfortunately I don't know those particular ones so I can't really translate much of it.

These are duilian to be accurate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duilian
I am sorry if my translations sound funny but again, they are sayings..still I give you the main idea behind them.

ps: I am a Chinese and get A for the subject Chinese in a test which is equivalent to GCSE :)

2. 青春常驻: may your youth be long-lived

3. 身体健康: may your health be good

Wow,

Guys thank you all so much. I have a Chinese exchange student living with me, and she has been doodling this all about the place, and when I asked her the meaning, she just smiles and says its my challenge to learn.

Would you guys mind helping me in the future?
