12/28 Friday

It seems that I have difficulty in making decisions. I can’t make up my mind immediately. I hesitate most of the time when I want to do something. For example, when I have to choose what I want to eat or which clothes I need to buy, I spent too much time to think about it. I always think too much when I make decisions. I consider about the advantages and disadvantages all the time. If I think the next step I am going to do is more difficult or it has less benefit, then, I have no power or courage to do this even if it is the right step. I know I am an irresolute person. I also know I need and I have to change this personality.

Christmas gift

One of my friends gave me a change purse as my Christmas present. The purse is as large as my palm, with sky blue color and a sun flower on it. I have a nickname called “little sun flower” in Chinese, so the gift has a special meaning to me. It is pretty cute and I like it very much. Besides, the most special thing is that the purse was made by him. All the materials was bought by him and sewed step by step. He told me that he is good at sewing. He made almost the presents by himself. I appreciate and admire him very much.

music

I love music. No matter what kind of music, I have a lot of interest to dabble. Because I like music, I began to play instruments. I like piano the most. I think piano is an amazing instrument that it can make wonderful melody. I also like drums, guitar, flute, and horns. When I was a senior high student I had joined in our school band and played a French horn. But I have some problems in music—I know not very much about pitch, tone and tempo. I couldn’t distinguish whether I played the right note or not. However, listening to music and playing instruments is my favorite interest.

eyesight

I found that my eyesight became much worse than before. I ordinarily wear contact lens in the daytime and wear glasses at night. Sometimes I feel not comfortable with my eyes but I didn’t pay much attention on it. I did not discover it until I went to buy a daily disposable contact lens today. It is just because I took the wrong type of contact lens home, and I returned to the company to change for the right type. I was suggested to examine again to make sure about my eye degree. If I did not make this mistake I will never know about my eyesight.

birthday party

Some of my friends and I went to a coffee shop near our school to celebrate one’s birthday. We had a delicious cake and cups of milk tea and coffee. The cake is a little different from those we had eaten before. It is chocolate flavor with ice cream in the middle. Actually, it is not really ice cream; I think it is a kind of freezing butter. When we cut the cake into pieces, we heard some strange sounds and felt hard to cut it. In the end, we found the answer. The sounds came from the ice cream. After eating the cake, we played poker. However, we all had a special and impressive moment.

friendship

How important friendship is? If you ask me this question ten years ago, I will tell you “Not important at all.” But if you ask me now, my answer must be “Very important.” When I was young, I was too shy to start a conversation actively. I almost say nothing in the conversation. When someone asks me a question, I will answer him or her. If none ask me something, I will say nothing. It is terrible to say nothing in a conversation. I just couldn’t help myself to have the courage to speak out. But now, I realized how important it is. I began to coerce myself to be more optimistic and extrovert. I want to change myself to be much happier with my friends.

12/14 Friday

Tomorrow is the 38th anniversary celebrations of our school. At that time, there will be a lot of activities to celebrate it. For instance, performances of cheer squad, dance, and so on. Unfortunately, I have to attend the ceremony; I am unable to enjoy those activities. However, because of the car exhibition, there will be lots of vendors on campus. I think it is very special to have a kind of night market on campus in the daytime. I can go around and buy something to eat after the ceremony as if I am in the night market. It really excited me.

a gift

One of my friends asked me what he can buy as a present to a girl. He has no idea about this, so he asked me about some suggestions. I suggested him buying some things that a girl really needed. For example, he can buy some lotion, make-up, or sanitary napkin. These are very useful for a girl. If I was that girl, I am sure that I will use it. In my opinion, a gift should be a valuable thing—something I can really use it. Take sanitary napkin as an example, if someone gives me as a present, I will be really happy and grateful because I can use it instead of putting aside.

12/10 Monday

Christmas is one of the major festivals in the United States. People have a dinner with their family together. I think it is a very special and blessed day for them. In Taiwan, we don’t have many activities on Christmas. Only some churches in Taiwan will celebrate Christmas Day. It’s a pity that we don’t celebrate Christmas Day. However, my friends—Cindy, Winnie, Elisa are going to have some activities to celebrate Christmas. We plan to change presents and have a hearty dinner. Although we are not as ceremonious as American, we all take this day seriously. I cannot wait for the day coming.

no water

Some districts in Tainan will suspend water supply on this weekend. It means that the inhabitants have no water for over two days. I don’t like to live without water, so do anyone like. I would rather have an electric power cut than suspend water supply. If I have no electricity, I can’t listen to music, watch television, play computer, and everything which needs it. However, I think it is okay if I can’t do all these things, except no air conditioner in summer. I can’t imagine that I have no water to take a bath even in winter. I need water to clean myself. Water is much more important for me, more important than electricity for me.

12/5 Wednesday

My apartment in Tainan is not a well soundproofed building. Whoever passes through my room, I can hear their sound clearly. However, the most interesting thing is that I can hear my neighbor’s sounds from the next room perfect clear. On condition that I do nothing and it is extremely silent in my room, I can hear everything. For example, when he brushes his teeth, takes a bath, urinates, keyboards, or sings songs, no matter what he does, even when he zips that I can hear clearly. I’m not sure if he knows that I can hear these sounds. What I am concerned is that he might be able to hear my sounds perfect clear. It means that whatever I do, he must know what I am doing. Ah…it is quite terrible.

Zoo Keeper

Recently, I am crazy about a game on the Internet called “Zoo Keeper”. The rule is that you have to make at least three animals together in line to make them disappear so that you can pass to the upper level. Every time you pass a level, the speed will become faster and the animal will become much more than before. Until now I pass to the eighth level. It is too fast to reach to the ninth level. Whenever I play this game, I can’t stop myself playing, unless the game over in the low level. It make me too angry to keep playing.

Nov. 30, Friday

Yesterday Cindy, Elisa, Winnie, Erica and I went to night market for dinner. Every time we go to night market, we always eat steak. But this time, we wanted something different. Later, we decided to eat “Mongolian Barbecue”. It was our first time to eat this. All of us didn’t know what kind of food it is. When our dishes came, we all dumbfounded. We couldn’t believe that Mongolian Barbecue is just a dish with little meat and two or three kinds of vegetables stir-fry together. The most important thing is that it cost us one hundred dollars but we didn’t eat anything worthy. We all decided not to eat Mongolian Barbecue anymore.

Nov. 28, Wednesday

It became cold and cold these two days. Everyone all wear a warm and comfortable coat. One of my friends, Winnie, who is easy to feel cold, asked me “don’t you feel cold?” Actually, I could feel it is really cold, but that’s all I can wear now. I didn’t remember when I brought my entire winter clothes back to Taipei, so I don’t have a warm coat to wear. Besides, it was only the coldest weather so far, but who knows if someday will be much colder than these days? I fear that if I wear too warm now, I must be frozen when the really cold day comes.

Nov. 26, Monday

Cindy and I went out for dinner tonight. We wore shorts and flip-flops because it was raining. I thought it must have a lot of people wondering why we wear shorts in this kind of weather. Anyway, we just don’t want our pants and shoes get wet. When we went out the door, we just felt a little cold. After we finished our dinner, it became extremely cold. The rain became larger and the wind became stronger than the moment we went out. We all got wet. Because of the typhoon, our umbrellas are going to broken again. Maybe we need to buy lots of umbrellas before the typhoon.

Nov. 23, Friday

I smile when I am happy, and I cry when I am sad. If I don’t smile, I’ll look as if I am angry. There are so many people told me that I need to keep smiling all the time. When I was a senior high student, my teacher told me that I need to have a smile on my face. She said that if I smile to others, and they will smile to me. It is wonderful, isn’t it? However, I just can’t do that. It is difficult for me to keep smiling without any happy things happened. I am trying to change myself and I will try my best to smile to everyone.

drawers

The most interesting thing that I heard today is a man wears a T-shirt and drawers, walking through the passage. It was the second time that Cindy told me she saw a man with only drawers walking on the passage, but this time is not the same person. I wonder why those men don’t mind if someone see them without pants. Here is not boy’s dormitory. Don’t they feel shy? Perhaps they think they just go out for a while and none will see them, so they don’t need to wear pants. But they really don’t mind to wear only drawers?

twins

On this weekend, when I got my digital camera, I began to take pictures with my younger brother, David. He loves to take photos. Whenever I take photos, my poses are always the same. But my brother has varied poses to change. Anyway, we took a lot of photos. Today I showed those photos to my friends. They said that David and I are like twins. However, he is ten years younger than me. They told me that if I cut my hair, I will change into David; if David wears a long wig, he will change into me. It is really funny, isn’t it?

what would you do?

What would you choose? Friendship or conscience? It confused me for a long time. If there was a person who wants you to give him some information about your friend in order to report to police because he did something illegal, what would you do? I don’t know the answer actually. First, I know nothing about the person. I don’t want to help him to tell the police that my friend is a criminal. Second, who knows if he was lying at me? I think I need to protect myself and my friend’s safety. But, if what he said is true that my friend defrauded him of something, what should I do? Do I have to be honest and tell him my friend’s name and phone number? If you are in the same situation, what would you do?

satisfied

Yesterday I heard a funny talk in lunch time. There were three boys sitting next to Cindy and I. They were talking about height. One of the boy said “My mom is 160 centimeter high, and my dad is 164 centimeter high. I think my height is enough.” Few minutes later they left. I took a peek at the boy, and we began to laugh. He is not very tall, almost 160 centimeter I guessed, but it’s really enough for him. I didn’t jeer at him. I just agreed with what he said. His parents are not tall at all, so he might be short. I really appreciated him because he is very satisfied about himself. I think we all need to be satisfied just like him.

angry

There were some things let me anger this morning. First, when I went to buy breakfast, the new clerk was so blockish that she didn’t do anything for my order. I waited for two sandwiches over than 15 minutes. Second, a girl stood in front of the elevator and I opened the door for her, but she did not take it. Third, after we got to the fourth floor, another girl in the elevator did not come out until I looked at her. Because I was making the door open, she must go out first or the door would close. I couldn’t understand why there were so many things let me get angry in the morning. Maybe I just didn’t sleep well and complain.

I want to go home

It have been more than one month that I don’t come back home in Taipei. I was waiting the mid-term schedule so that I can arrange my weekend to go home. Until last night, the schedule was announced. I have exams on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. It means that I can’t go home on Thursday or Friday because it might be rush. I don’t want to stay at home one day and come back to Tainan the second day. At first, I think maybe I can skip some classes on Friday afternoon next week, and I can come back on Monday. However, whenever I want to do something bad, it never succeeds. After thinking twice, I decided to go home after the last exam on Friday noon even though it is rush. It is better for me to attend classes and take my exams secure.

being crazy

After our dinner today, Elisa, Winnie and I went to Cindy’s room. At the beginning, we were just chatting. Don’t know why, we began to take photos by the camera on Cindy’s computer. We made faces in many different ways. Every one of us had a role to play. For example, I had a role that I was the leader of a gang, and Elisa was my wife. I know we were all crazy, but it is really funny. When we finished our role playing game, a thought flash through my mind: why did we use the computer instead of using the digital camera by the side of me?

nice talk

Last Saturday I had a conversation with my elementary school classmates. We have never seen each other since graduated. We talked about where we are study in and what our subject is. One of them studies college in America for business administration. He had been there for four years. He suggested me that I can try to be an exchange student in order to learn English much easier. I told him that I really want to, but I am not good enough to be an exchange student. I need to study a hundred times harder so that I maybe have just only a chance to do that. It might be my dream, and I should pay a lot of efforts to make my dream comes true.

shopping

I felt something interesting in shopping on the internet. I found that I can buy everything I want. For example, food, shoes, jeans, bags, especially cosmetics. There are many kinds of cosmetics to choose. Every kind of them have introduction about their usage and effect. The most interesting thing that attracts me to buy on the internet is that I don’t need to go to those shops by myself. I just need to choose a convenient store and order the product online. Few days later, just go to the store and receive my stuff. Besides, no one could know what I have bought. It is pretty private.

to work part-time

I have found a part-time job recently. I think I need to work not only to make money but have something to do after class and weekend. It is almost everyone have a part-time job in our class. Most of them are a teacher assistant in cram school. They teach elementary schools students English. They can learn experiences by their job. I think it is a good opportunity to learn some experiences. But I’m not sure that if I have time to work part-time and do my school works at the same time. It makes me confused, but I would like to have a try.

antivirus program

Today I installed a free Virus protection called “avast! Antivirus.” I got this information from yahoo knowledge +. Because my original antivirus program was overdue for a long time, I need to install a new program to protect my computer from those new viruses. At first, I didn’t know how it works, but there were a lot of good comments about the program. I decided to install this one because it has Chinese version. It can make me use this much easier. After installing it, I found that there are many useful functions can protect my computer from virus. Besides, my computer works faster than before. I like it.

digital camera

About one week ago I requested my sister to buy a digital camera for me. She knows much more information about camera than I know. Today she called me and told me that the camera has arrived. I was so excited and desired to get my camera as soon as possible. But it needs almost a month that I can go home in Taipei and get my camera. Before I go home, my sister said that she will use the camera first then tell me what should I beware. I hate that I am not the first person to open and use my own thing.

who are you?

What would you say when you meet someone who you didn’t see him or her for a long time? “Long time no sees” or “how have you been? And what would you say when someone comes to you and says “long time no sees” but you do not recognize him or her? “Who are you?” A thought flashed through my mind. It happened few days ago. Someone who I couldn’t recognize him well came face to face with me, and said: “Wow, long time no sees. How are you?” “Ha ha, I’m fine…”I replied embarrassed. That day we had a short talk about our recent situation, but I didn’t remember him until now.

I hate ants

Last Saturday, I found that my room was crawling with ants. I was wondering why there were ants in my room, but I did not find the answer. The ants crawled through my bed to my desk and trash can. The ants also crawled on the wall. That is, I could see ants everywhere. I was annoyed with those ants. It is useless to kill them. No matter how many ants I killed, it appeared double ants I just killed. Because I don’t want to sleep with those ants, I cleaned up my room and wiped the floor immediately. I washed all my stuff which was on the floor. It is a hard task to destroy all the ants. I don’t know how to deal with them. All I know is that I really really hate ants.

breaking

Last week when I passed through the Daqiao Elementary School, I saw some students at the age of junior high school practicing a dance step. I was surprised because what they were dancing is “breaking,” a kind of dance steps which needs your body very close to the floor. I have the impression that breaking is a hard dance step, and not everyone is able to dance. I think they are so good at dancing. Furthermore, they are very young.
Today I saw them again, and found that they are not junior high school students but elementary school students. I was surprised again. It was amazing that those boys could dance the difficult steps. Maybe I will find someday to appreciate their dance.

being stupid

What happened tonight is called “being stupid.” I forgot to take my key out when I went to dinner. At the moment, I thought I was extremely silly. I tried to climb the window but I still could not get into my room. I could not do anything but called my renter. Fortunately, he came and gave me the backup key. After getting my key, my friend and I went to dinner. The second time “being stupid” was happened. I forgot to collect my change and gave all the money to the clerk. When the clerk told me that it was too much money, I knew that I was being stupid again. I have been so stupid a day that no one could be more stupid than I was.

an appointment

I had an appointment with my tutor tonight. I waited for 20 minutes, but she did not come. I called her to make sure if we have an appointment (because I often forget something). She told me that she forgot that and she will come next week. However, when I waited for 10 minutes, I have guessed that she might forget. I did not feel angry, disappointed, and happy or something. I was a little excited that I have the chance to take a walk. I do not care whether it is raining or not. It is cool outside, and I like it!

bad news

Recently, I heard some bad news that happened around me. The first one is my math teacher of senior high school. He died because liver cancer. It made me feel so surprised because he was a healthy person. The second one is a friend who I met her for only two months. I even had no many talks with her, but she left. I know that everyone is going to be dying, but why they die without any alert? It is unexpected; I do not how to react when I heard the news. Because of that news, I realized that life is changeable. We cannot say when we want to live or die. All I have to do now is treasure my life.

chocolate

What can make you feel so happy? Is it a comedy, dance music, or something else?
If you ask me, my answer must be “chocolate.” I like to eat chocolate, especially dark chocolate. The milk chocolate is too sweet for me, so I prefer to dark chocolate. Why I want to talk about chocolate? My classmates and I went a market tonight to buy some commodities. What I bought is food, in other words, all chocolate. They laughed at me because I bought chocolate instead of buying commodities. Don’t you like to eat chocolate? Come on, it is tasty. Trust me, if you eat once, you will love it!

can you imagine that?

Can you imagine that a person’s hands shake and the whole body is powerless just because he or she did not eat enough at lunch? That is a terrible experience happened on me today. I just ate a flapjack and a cup of milk tea for lunch. At the moment, I was full, but when all the class finished at 16:40, I felt really powerless and hungry. I thought I need to eat dinner immediately. I found that my hands shaking and I cannot hold the bowl well until I have a half of my dinner. It is really terrible when your body is shaking and not knowing what to do.

in a bad mood

I feel not good tonight because my father told me that he needs a copy of my student card in order to apply for a scholarship.

I did not give the copy when I was home on the Moon Festival vacation. However, I cannot give it immediately, because my home is in Taipei… What came into my head is that I can just ask for my sister for help. I called her at once, but I felt really sad after the phone call. The only one thing she needs to do is that just give me the fax number and takes the copy to my father. She seemed not willing to help me. Instead, she asked me a lot of questions like “why you stay out?”, “why you eat dinner so late?” something about this kind of nagging.

If she do not want to help me, she can tell me and I will find other solution. I do not like the attitude she just expressed. It make me annoyed all night.

barbecue

This was my first time to barbecue by ourselves. My family and I have had the experience of barbecue two times before, but not in our home. We have once in my uncle’s home and once in my classmate’s home. It is too bad that we did not do it by ourselves. Finally, we got this chance to barbecue by ourselves, two days ago because of the Moon Festival. We went to mall to buy everything we need. We had the meat, vegetables, coke, and then we started to barbecue and eat. It was wonderful and we all had fun.

adventure

After our dinner today, we went to practice how to ride a motorcycle. Have been living for over twenty years, I still can not ride a motorcycle and do not have a license. However, it was not my first time to ride it on road. But it is quite dangerous to ride motorcycle without license (the most important thing is that it is illegal…). What I should do is going to practice harder and get one license.

friends

Is making friend easy? As far as I am concerned, it might be the hardest thing in my life. For example, I am afraid to talk to some other who I do not know; I am shy to talk to someone I do not know him or her very well. Even thought I am along with my best friends, I always have nothing to say. I found that I not have any idea to say. Contrarily, I have a lot of thoughts but I did not have courage to speak out. If you do not say something, no one wants to make friend with you. They will think that you are too boring. I know I am boring, so I really appreciate my friends who did not dislike and avoid me. Thank you guys very much!

daydreamer

It is my first time to clean up since I moved to my new house. I remember that when I was finding a new house, I preferred to choose a large space house. I imaged to decorate my house look like a Japanese house (tatami). However, imagination is always wonderful, but different from reality. Because the space is too large, it took me almost three hours to clean it up. It did not become a Japanese house but a normal house. How come did I want to a large space? It made me wipe the floor over and over again. Next time I should not daydreamed about my house.

the typhoon

Today is not my day, and it is not our day. The typhoon made every one of us looked like a drowned rat. Even thought I opened my umbrella, my pants were all wet, because the wind was too strong to spread an umbrella. If you insist on opening your umbrella, you must say good bye to it.

the first day and the first class

Today is the first day of my third year in university. As we think, there are many classes that we need to take in this semester. Every class is more difficult than before. The first class today is writing class. We were asked to write something in our own blog. But I hate blog! It is too complicated for me to handle a blog. Sometimes I have just finished my article, but after a moment, all the things have gone. I am so angry about that. I know that a blog is the trend now, maybe I need to create more blogs as possible as I can.
