New Year's Day

My friends and I planed to have dinner for celebrating New Year's Day. However, we cancelled it because one of my friends didn't come back due to her injured foot. So, I counted down night for 2008 with my friend in the Gold Coast. It was cold outside that I was shivering while I rode the motorcycle. There were so many people and some set off fireworks. After 12:00, we went back and slept. This was my first to count down night; however I thought it was not as interesting as I imaged. Maybe next time I will choose to stay at home and watch TV.

Exercise

It has been a long time that I haven't do exercise. Recently, my friends and I determine to do regular exercise two or three times a week. And we did really did it this week. We played basketball from 9:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. After taking exciting exercise and taking a bath, I felt so comfortable that I fell asleep easily and slept well all night. Taking exercise not only help my sleep but also keep my body in a good condition. Now, I play balls with my friends instead of playing cards in my friend's room. So, why not stand up and take exercise right now?

I bought a new body weight scale tonight. It has been a long time that I do not know my weight. I might gain some weight because I eat a lot recently. Why I buy a new one is that I want to warn myself not to eat too much. After all, I don't want to return my original weight, 60 kilogram. It is easy to gain weight, but it is difficult to lose weight. The process of going on a diet is not a simple job. I had to keep my willpower and did not give up. Although I succeeded in losing some weight finally, my body became worse. And now, I just want to keep my weight and become healthier.

Last weekend, I rode to Kaohsiung with my friends. It took us about two hours to get in Kaohsiung since we didn't ride too fast. The first destination was Xin Ku Jiang. There were a lot of clothes that I wanted to buy, but they were too expensive for me. Then, we went to Meng Shi Dai. There was crowded with people and it was so difficult to find a parking space. Meng Shi Dai was so large that we didn't want to go around, so we just stayed outside and appreciated Ferris wheel. Finally, we went to Liu He night market and ate all the way. Afterwards, we went back to the hotel. The next day, we started to exchange our present in the morning. I got a pair of mittens from my friend. Then, we began our journey, Xi Zi Wan and Chi Jin. First, we ferried from Xi Zi Wan across Chi Jin. It was so hot that I ate ice cream. This was our journey. I didn't detail too much. However, we had a good time.

12/21

I have been expecting for going to Kaohsiung by motorcycle with seven of my friends tomorrow. I think I would not fall asleep because I am very excited about this journey. Therefore, I went to play basketball with my friends at night so that the time could go fast. We have already scheduled our journey one month ago and planed to stay at Kaohsiung for two days. Without having holiday on Christmas Day, we decide to go to Kaohsiung and celebrate it beforehand. In addition, we will exchange Christmas present while we are in Hotel. This is the first time that we ride motorcycle to Kaohsiung and I think it will be fun.

Would you mind if a person smokes in front of you? Well, I did not care before, but now I would. There are more and more people smoke in their life. They are not only wasting their money, but also damage their health. Some like to smoke in front of others. Secondhand smoking can cause more problems such as cancer than those smokers. However, it is not an easy job for them to quit smoking. They are just like addicted to taking drugs and it’s difficult to get rid of them. By the way, I think they should respect other people who near of them when they are smoking.

Haircut

It had been two years that I had not had my haircut, so I got a hair cut yesterday. I had a little regret for going to the wrong barber shop. The barber didn’t cut the hair style that I wanted and my hair became shorter than before. My mom always asks me not to keep long hair because the nutrition in my body would reduce. But, I didn’t want to lose my long hair. And this time, I encouraged myself to change another hair style. However, I feel comfortable after having my haircut. On the other hand, I do not have to spend too much time on washing and blowing my hair.

12/14

Today, we talked about punctuality on oral class. How many people can tolerate a person who always late? I think few can bear that. I will be impatient if I wait a person for ten or more minutes, but only two or three times is OK for me. For example, one of my friends visited me and I had to pick her up at Jen Te. She told me that she had already arrived there, but in fact she hadn’t yet. Therefore, I rode my motorcycle and picked her up. When I arrived and called her, she said she was still on the way. I was so angry that she lied to me. And I waited her for almost 40 minutes. This was the first time that I waited a person so long. So, to be on time is important no matter when we go to school or date with someone.

12/12

It has been a long time that I haven’t do the exercise. My body condition becomes worse recently. When I go to bed at night, I just can’t fall asleep. I toss and turn many times. Therefore, I turn on my computer again and start to play games or watch TV without turning on the light. I know it is bad for my eyes, but I just lazy for getting out of my bed and turn it on. However, I will do that until I feel very sleepy. Without doing any exercise, the health also becomes bad. So, I will try not to be a lazy person and do some exercise in my extra time.

12/10

My friends, Judy, Cindy, Winnie, Sunny and I did not have class this afternoon; therefore we planned to go shopping on Chung Cheng Road. It was the first time that we took the photo sticker. We were crowded in a small and hot space and then started to pose. It took us some time to take the photo, but it was fun so fun that we wanted to take it again. Then, we wandered some stores. Later, we decided to go to Ta Tong night market. We ate the steak again because there was no any special food. We finished our journey and went home until 9:00 pm.

12/07

What I could do after I graduate from the college still confuse me a lot. Should I continue to study or find a regular job? However, it might be not an easy thing for me to have a job because I don't have any work experience. And, I also do not have any special skill. As for studying, in fact, I don't have power to study continually. Since I am tired of reading the books and just for because of the school exam. So, I am facing the dilemma of working or studying.

12/05

My friends, Judy, Cindy ,Winnie and I went to Tainan city and bought PLAYBOY’s shoes on Monday. We had already decided to buy a pair of new shoes one month ago. I bought them in the department store, which gave only 10 percent discount. However, Judy and Winnie went to another store which gave 15 percent discount. I made the decision too early; therefore I paid more dollars than them. I have learned a lesson which is more comparisons, more bargains. If I didn’t judge too early at that time, I would save more money.

Fortune-telling

Do you believe in fortune-telling? Tonight, my friends and I went to a fortune-telling caff for dinner. We ordered the meal and they invited us to go upstairs and had fortune-telling for free. The diviner read some incantation first and then she started to ask some questions such as how old were you. I answered 21. Then, she told me my personality, marriage and so on. It was unbelievable for me that what she said was almost cohere with mine. However, I thought fortune-telling was just for reference only. After all, the destiny is controlled by ourselves.

11/30

Last night, I went to night market with five of my friends. Since we previous always ate steak, we wanted to have some special food; therefore we chose Mongolian Barbecue. Well, I thought it would taste good as I imagined. But in fact, it was not very delicious for me. Afterwards, we wandered for about an hour, and then we had an idea which was to see a movie, Good Luck Chuck, in Winnie's room. It was not only a comedy movie, but also a little sex in the film. I think it is okay for me to see a little sex movie since I am already an adult. We saw the movie until 10:30 pm. Then we went home and went to bed.

Smile

Smiling is important when we meet people who we have not known before. Also, it is that we give a good impression on someone. For example, my friends tell me that if I don't smile, I look like as if I am angry or look cool. But in fact, I am not angry or something. I feel that smiling can make me keep happy. And, it can get rid of my worry. It is said that smile loudly to the mirror when we get in in the morning will keep our mood feel good all day. So, I will try every day for making myself having a happy life.

11/26

The midterm result came out. The result was that I did not do well and also it means that I must study hard for final exam; otherwise I will fail in some subjects this semester. The subject that I worry is oral interpretation. The teacher is very strict and seems not very satisfy with our performance in the class. Anyway, I will do my best to adapt to the way that the teacher teaches. I don’t like exam, it is just a strategy that bring stress to me. However if there are not any exam, I will not study.

11/23

There are a lot of car accidents in the newspaper almost everyday. When I read them, I have a feeling that I am afraid of riding motorcycle outside. Some people ride or drive so fast that the accident causes seriously. However, some are victim of the accident. Why some people ride so quickly? Are they in a rush? Or don’t they obey the traffic rules? I think the answer is yes. Ride slowly and don’t trespass against the rules. To make ourselves be safe is important and also for our family. After all, no one wants to hear the bad news. How to reduce the accident is that we people should keep the rules together.

11/21

Tonight, my older sister played a joke on me. She called me and said we went to Taipei tomorrow. She told me that she won the first prize of the lottery. Therefore, we had to go to Taipei and received the money. I believed what she said. However, she lied to me. She just won four hundreds dollars. I was such stupid that I believed this was true. I do really hope I could win the lottery, but it seems to be impossible because I am not a lucky winner.

11/19

Tonight, I had a hot-pot with six of my friends, Cindy, Judy etc. at To-Fu. The food which they served was good than San-Ma, and also was a little expensive. But I thought it was a reasonable price. I was so full that I couldn't’t eat up all the food. We took a lot of picture during the meal. After we finished, we decided to go to Cindy’s suit. We played cards and checker and we talked aloud in a room. It seemed that Cindy’s suit became a small casino. Well, we really had a good time. I stayed there until eleven o’clock, then we went home. A happy day went away.

11/09

I had a hot-pot tonight at San-Ma with my friends, Cindy, Judy, Winnie and Tina. It was rarely opportunity for us to get together and have a dinner. Because of the school exam, we didn’t go home this week and chose to stay in Tainan. So, we decided to go to San-Ma this morning. What our original plan was eat spicy hot pot if we all finish our exam on Thursday. Unlucky, Cindy, Judy and I still have test on Friday; therefore we have to change the day. We had already discussed about this a month ago. I did really expect that we could eat together. However, our plan was disturbed by school exam.

11/07

I got the second time cold from the beginning of this semester. Without seeing the doctor, I take the medicine which was previous. Moreover, I feel stress these days because the midterm is coming soon. I don’t have any energy to study and I get tired easily because of the cold. It must be very exciting if I don’t study this week and welcome the exam. But, I can’t do that. Feared that I fail in some subjects, I have to force myself to pretend that I am not sick and still have a lot of energy to prepare for the exam. What’s the worst to me is that we have oral interpretation exam tomorrow because the stuffy nose will influence me. I pray to God for I can get better tomorrow.

Stress

I become anxiety when I start to feel stress. Also, I can’t sleep well at night because I will think continuously in my brain. The things that make me feel stressful are schoolwork or money and so on. I sit in front of the computer, go out by riding motorcycle or chat with my friends to reduce my stress. These can make me feel much better. For example, I dicuess my problem with my friends, she can give me some advise. I take their advise into consideration, sometimes it is useful to me. Or, I ride and wander around. At least, I try to find a correct way to solve my problem and not just stay in a room and think.

Expression

It is hard for me to express my emotion since I am not good at speaking. For example, although my father is nice to me, I am still afraid of him. My family has a piece of mountainous region in Mei Nung and Chia Hsien. My dad plants some fruits there and he is just like a farmer. Whenever he goes back from the work, he seems very tired. I bleed for him in my mind. I want to tell him that be careful when you drives to the work and back from the work and don’t be too tired. I can’t say those words to him, but just think in my mind.
The only method that I can unleash my feelings is type on the blog. Maybe it is a good way for me to express my thought.

Washing Machine

I have been lazy for washing clothes by hands. However, I have to wear them everyday. Sometimes, if I don’t have time, I will use washing machine. This machine in my suite is not very clear because a lot of people use it together. Some of my clothes are dirty after washing by this machine. It is much clear to wash by hand that the elders said before. In fact, it is convenience that the washing machine was invented. It helps a lot of busy or lazy people like me for wasting time washing clothes by hands.

Cell Phone

It is convenient for people to have their own cell phone. It brings us both advantage and disadvantage. For me, the advantage is that I can make contact with my friends and my family easily. Also, if I feel bored, I will call my friend and chat on the phone. However, the advantage is that I have to pay the phone bill instead. Sometimes, I have an earache if I hold the cellphone too long. The study indicates that if we often talk on the phone, it may damage our ear and some health problem. Well, I have been tried to reduce to talk by mobile phone for decreasing my ear problem and phone bill.

World Wrestling Entertainment(WWE)

It is interesting for me to watch WWE program. Some people think it is a violence channel even though those wrestlers just want to entertain people. Sometimes, their action seems so vivid that I can’t identify whether it is a real fight or not. One of the wrestlers, Jone Cena, who I like most. He holds the longest record of the champion. His performance is outstanding, besides, he is also a hip hop singer. He has ever said “Don’t try this at home”, which means don’t imitate what they have done on TV. Wrestle is a danger career,but they have well trained for a long time. People should not try; otherwise, you may be in the hospital soon.

10/24

I am going to have GEPT test this Saturday. I haven’t prepare very well since I am not very concentrate on practicing exercise. For example, when I listen to the listening part, I cannot pay attention to what the speaker talk about even though I strive for listening. I become dulled while I am listening. It is not easy for me to pass high intermediate. However, I have to do my best so that I can test my English ability. In short, I hope I will pass it, which can make me become more confidence in learning English.

Daydream

I like to daydream about winning the lottery. When I am the winner, I will start to use my money in three different ways. First of all, I donate some to charities. For example, given that I have a hundred million. I contribute two or three millions to them, because they should be helped by people. Second, I buy a new house for my family. Finally, I distribute the rest of the money to my family. Of course, it is necessary for me to buy my favorite things such as high quality cell phone. Besides, I will save some money in the bank for contingent use. Although it is not easy to win the lottery, I wish my daydream will come true someday.

10/19

I am so glad that tomorrow is a weekend. I can get together with my family after haven’t seen them for two weeks. Everytime when I go home, my mom will prepare a delicious dinner for me. My older sister will go shopping with me and treats me such as clothes or something. In my mind, I think my family is importance. They can give me advice when I have difficulty of making decision on anything, like which career road is suitable for me to choose. Besides, I feel warm when I am in Tainan because my parents will call me and concern about me. I am so lucky that I have such a nice family.

Embarrassed in gas station

Last Saturday, an embarrassed thing was happened on me and my friend. We wandered around at night in Tainan by riding mtorcycle. The motorcycle almost ran out of gas, so we went to get some fuel in the gas station. The embarrassed thing was that we both didn’t bring any money and didn’t notice that until got the fuel. We were nervous because the worker looked at us and didin’t know how to do. Hence, my friend stayed there and I rode to home to take money. What embarrassed! This was my first time that went out without bringing any money in my pocket. Now, I will warn myself whether I bring money or not whenever I go out

Air Pollution

I hate the air in Tainan because it is not very clean. Whenever I go out by riding motorcycle, my face would be covered with dust and become black after returning home. Besides, I might be uncomfortable because the dirt would come to my eyes. It is not easy to get rid of air pollution since everyone produces more and more everyday. For instance, motorcycles or cars will emit exhaust when riding or driving them. In addition, it would influence our health problem when breathing the dirty air. How to reduce the pollution is that we people work together and government should enforce some policies. Maybe we can breathe fresh air again.

Is health important or wealth?

In my opinion, I think health is much important than wealth. For example, I work for earning money and I can’t concentrate on my work when I am sick or have any diseases. So, provided that I am always ill, how the wealth can fall on me? Even though I am rich and without having a good health, I can’t enjoy my money or life. However, I take medicine now every day for keeping my body becoming healthier than before. I hope I have a good body condition for not having influence my future job. Therefore, I need to convalesce through taking medicine.

saving money

Saving money is indispensable for me with the goods in our life become more and more expensive than before. For example, I seldom go out by riding motorcycle recently because the gas price increases unless I have to buy something I need. For not consuming too much oil, so I spend most of time staying at home.
It is essential for me to deposit money in my passbook every month. I have been doing that in case of not having money to use for someday. Besides, I have to consider whether I will have a job immediately after graduating from college. So, I think it is a good habit to put my money in a back.

Cheat

I have lied to my parents only once. They wanted me to study in STUT when I started to choose a college two years ago, but I didn't want to because my desire was to study in a college in northern Taiwan. They thought it was too far to study there. I wanted to decide these details of my life no that I was an adult. Therefore, I deceived them by saying that I had applied for STUT, but, in fact, I had not. After few days, my mom got a call from the executive in STUT and asked whether I would like to apply for the school or not. My mom answered yes. She was very angry with me for lying to her and my father. She didn't want me to study so far away becasue she thought my elder sister who studied in STUT could take care of me. I cried when my mom begged me not to study in the north school. I felt sorry to my parents for deceiving them. Since then, I respect my parent even more because I don’t want them to be disappointed again.

No more again~~

A thief broke into my roommate's chamber yesterday afternoon. This was the second times that the thief broke into the house where I live. The first time, my notebook and piggy bank was stolen. I was nervous when I got home and found my notebook had gone. In the beginning, I thought I hid it by myself so I sought everywhere in my room. In reality, it had already taken by the thief. Therefore, I called my landlord immediately. It was not easy to find the thief because there was not leave any evidents. Besides, the landlord did not call the police. I didn't know why she did not. Maybe she was afraid of getting any troubles. Finally, she compensated me for what I had lost. But, it was still not enough for me to buy a new notebook. And this time, the thief stole the computer and a digital camera from my roommate. Now, I am worry that the thief will come again. When I think of this, I can’t sleep well because I am afraid he will run into my room while I am sleeping.

Taxi!!

I really hate taxies in Taiwan. They leave a bad impression on me many times. In short, their driving morality should improve. I have two reasons to proof this point. First, I had ever honked the horn by a taxi driver while I rode on the motorcycle road. I was angry that why he occupied the road. Haven't he ever worried that he might bumped into a car? Maybe he just wanted to earn money so he drove so fast or occupied the road. Second, one day I rode the taxi, the driver went in the wrong direction because there was no any cars on that road. He drove terribly that I really scared and was afraid of having any accident. Luckily, I was safe after riding an adventuresome taxi travel.

--Learning Japanese--

It is difficult for me to learn Japanese than English. Why I learn Japanese is that the
school requests students to learn second language for major. It is not a good idea because I can’t learn English well and then I have to learn another language. Although learning second language is good, we should volunteer to learn rather than force to learn by school. Now, I am worry about how to learn both English and Japanese well. The teacher teaches so fast that I can not keep up with her and it is not easy for me to memorize Japanese hiragana and katakana. Now that I learn it, then I will do my best to learn it well. Besides, my learning ambition is to test a certification. I think I will enjoy learning it after learning a long time since this is just the beginning.

A special food

I have ever eaten pelatouche (a flying squirrel). It was not as delicious as I imagined. One of my friends hunted the pelatouche, which I think was illegal to hunt this kind of animal. And their family treated me to eat it. I did not dare to eat it, but I might felt embarrassed if I refused their treatment; since they were out of their well-intentioned. I forced myself to chew it, there were a word came to my mind , which was “ disgusting”. It tasted very hard and just like the meat of mouse. I said I wanted to go to bathroom for an excuse so that I could threw it away. Nowadays, a lot of people eat animals that we rarely heard, like monkey’ brain, alligators, deers and so on. I think almost everything that people have already tried to eat. I have a terrible food experience and I will not try any animals that I haven’t heard again.

A disappointing weekend

I went to Ken-ting with my family last weekend. The weather was unsteady, it rained almost all day. Even if it was raining outside, we were still on our schedule. At first day, we lived in Yoho hotel where there were a lot of public facilities. I had my breakfast, lunch and dinner in a buffet restaurant where I could choose my favorite food. Next day, we went to Pak Sha Wan and took some pictures. Afterwards, we had seafood for lunch. On that night, we went to Ken-ting Street where there was crowded with people. But it was fun for me because I liked to go wandering the street and stores. I bought a special thing which was a cloth that filled in a can. The last day, we slept until eleven o’clock and prepared for going home. We were stuck in the traffic on our way home. It was so late when we got home. I was exhausted so I went to bed early. I had a good time even though it rained in Ken-ting. I must go there someday and hope it will not rain again.

A Funny Drunk Day

Three of my friends and I went to Kenting when I graduated from senior high school. It was very late when we arrived at Kenting. We were so happy that we graduated finally, so we decided to buy alcoholic drink for celebrating. We lived in hotel where we can saw the deep blue sea. In fact, I was not good at drinking, I just wanted as happy as my friends. At that night, I drank almost half of Whiskey. It was too bad for my body. I felt very uncomfortable and vomited seriously. The funny thing was that I slept in the bathroom all night. Because I had a serious headache and wanted to vomit continuously; therefore I decided to sleep in the bathroom so that I did not have to go around from bed to bathroom. The next day, my friends all laughed at me for sleeping in the bathroom. This was an unforgettable experience for me.

~~Retribution~~

I had ever damaged someone’s bike when I was still in junior high school. One of my classmates who borrowed money from me. She intended not to return money back to me. I regretted that I was such stupid why I lent my money to an untruthful person . Therefore, I called some of my friends to flat tire of her bike. After a few weeks, my retribution happened on me. My bike had a flat tire for three days continuously. I consider that the punishment will recoil on people who injure someone, so do I. What I had done was bad. After that, I no longer do something bad because I will get the punishment again.

My Darling

My darling is a bird which is small and green feather. I name it “Hi Hi” which means the first day we mat and we did not know each other. My darling is very smart and funny. It likes to imitate human action. For instance, It can kiss my mouth with sound. If someone coughs, It will follow. In addition, when the telephone rings, it will start to imitate. It has been lived my home for almost seven years. I am afraid of losing him. Three years ago, my mother took Hi Hi to outside for a walk in the afternoon. He flew away. Upon hearing this news, I searched it every place near my house,but I just couldn't find it. So, I gave up searching for it. Luckily, Hi Hi walked to my neighbor’s house at night. It was astonishing to me that Hi Hi returned back by itself. Afterward, I treasure Hi Hi even more because I don’t want to lose it again. This is way I call Hi Hi is my darling.

My scaring experience

I have a scaring experience that I will never forget in my life.

The thing was happened last year when I went toTaoyuan with my friend.

It was very late and we walked to the Internet cafe’.

I saw two people having a quarrel, one of them was drunk.

After a while, the drunk person took out a cudgel.

At first, I thought he would attack the person who he had a quarrel with.

Unfortunately, he started to pursue us with the cudgel.

My friend and I began to run very fast for our life.

After running for seconds, the drunk person stopped pursuing us.

I was scared to death.

After this event, I have learned a lesson which is I should not go out at night.

Besides, I will take a look of the back whether anyone follows me while I am walking.

This shadow will not disappear in my mind.

The first day in writing class

I think it is not as easy as before,

instead it is a challenge class for me

to improve my writing ability.

What I always worry about is that

I will not improve after

my teacher makes comments on my writing.

Anyway, since Bill is our wiring teacher,

I have to abide by the way he teaches us.

And I will make an effort to write better and better.
