佳作耶!!!

哈哈..今天要用中文!! 為什麼呢? 因為去年參加徵文比賽，居然得到佳作耶...哇！！真佩服我自己！評審團大獎２名，佳作取６名，我居然入選佳作耶....好久不曾用中文寫東西，居然是佳作耶...嗯...我要繼續努力...雖然我的學生一直都把我當老外，每次上課就取笑我中文爛，不過..我總算是揚眉吐氣了！證明我的中文功底還是不錯的喔！

我國中的國文老師一直以為我會當作家耶...甄試大學時也一直鼓勵我去讀中文系。沒想到我讀新聞，後來又轉彎讀口譯...以後要讀什麼呢？唸個學校管理之類的吧...好像挺厲害的感覺！呵呵....

好棒喔...佳作耶...我真是棒！請大家給我鼓鼓掌！！嘿嘿...不好意思啦！等我出書，會幫大家簽名的！

我＜＝＝＝很三八..不知道在得意什麼？興奮過頭了...

Friday night! Sing it! We will we will rock you!

It's Friday. We always say "TGIF". Six o'clock, Chungshan MRT station, lots of people and me! I saw my friends, Linny, Debby and Mike aka Mike one as he insists. Though we all call him 小麥! If we know more Mikes, we can start to call them Mike 1, 2, 3. It will sound like we are testing Microphones. Hahaha..please forgive me!

We went to a Thai restaurant and had a nice dinner together with some Sinhga beer. After that, Mike had an idea of going to KTV. So... he's busy calling freinds, many many friends. But many of them can't come before 10

SO...6 of us went to Cashbox and tried to get a private room. At first, we couldn't but... luckily...the lady worked there managed to get us one at another branch. We went there and sing. We sang many English songs no matter new ones or old ones.

We had fun. After 10, more and more people coming. There were big Mike, Tina, Sondra, Jeff who speaks and reads perfect Chinese, and Sam. Wow... about 10 of us or more squeezed in one little room. So funny and we drank beer.

Friday night, party night with friends.....

Saturday night, movie night with my father. Watching Anna and the King.

Sunday night, shopping night with my sister.

Now.... ready for bed. night night... my dear friends and the earth!

Keep wondering....

I had a bad news this afternoon and I couldn't help but feeling down. I'm down so I need someone to talk.

I went out with my sister and had a nice dinner and I did some shopping for my trip to Palau. I'm home now and I still feel bad about my life. I keep wondering what I should do and what I should do first.

So......... keep wondering...... me.... Lovely Genie.... a lonely planet.... a lonely me.... port wine....me.....port wine....me....port wine.....me.

Great time at Fulong with friends!!!

I had great time at Fulong with friends!! I had great time. I had great time. I did have a great time! Hhaaha... I'm already missing the time we spent there!

Great!!!

I can't let you burn me out nor I can resist you.

This Thursday I watched a movie which I still have no clue of its name. However, it was a great British film. I loved it so much and when I told my friend about it. He loves it as well.

I love the line so much. So I want to share with you. It's so me when I was in a love and hate situation before. hahaa.. But I think that's it, not anymore. I can't always be trapped in that glommy situation.

Didn't some people say that when one can make jokes on one's own wound then it means one has been healed? I think I am recovering and start to have feelings towards new friends. Sounds good, doesn't it?

I will try to use this line as my pick-up line!! Hahaa.... No laugh but with a bitter smile and passion! Haha...

What if you were Fiona?

I had a really good time last night watching Shrek! I laughed so hard and I choked on my laughters.

After Shrek drank the magic portion, he became a handsome man and Princess Fiona became a beautiful lady.

Midnight bell ringing..........

Shrek: Fiona, do you want to stay this way?
Fiona: What do you mean?
Shrek: I mean stay beautiful. Kiss me now and we'll stay beautiful.

What would you do if you were Princess Fiona??

Princess Fiona chose not to kiss Shrek and after the midnight bell finished, they became ogres again. What a great love!

What would I do if I were Fiona? Um..... I would kiss Shrek, my loving husband, and stay beautiful. Hahaah.... I'm so shallow!!! Hahaha... but just think for a while, if you could have a chance to become beautiful and also be with your true love. Why not do both?

It's not like you have to choose between one. You could have chance to have both, so why not?? hahaa....Does this apply to relationship? Is there such a great thing? Um... think but not seek!

Planning your life!!

Can we really do that? I doubt!

These two days I was invited to give some junior kids my wisdom of life. Suddenly I feel old.........

Am I really old enough to pass on my wits? Hahaha... Am I experienced enough to teach them a lesson about life? Hahaa... I can't be sure but one thing I'm proud of is "KIDS LOVED MY SPEECH!"

They were curious and interested about me even if I just finished teaching them English 10 minutes ago. They were curious about how would I become a teacher. Why didn't I get a foreign boyfriend when I was abroad. I answered almost all of their questions except one. They asked me when will I be married?

Now.... this is something you can't plan. Love can't be planned after I experienced the pain. There is nothing called unchangeable in love, though I don't want to admit this. Hahaha.....

Life....... the only thing you can plan is probably when are you going to bed!! Hahah.........

Home made Green milk tea and myself.

Tonight I made myself some green milk tea. It was very nice but I had no one to share with.

How sad it is. Am I going to spend the rest of my life alone? I want to move out to for some more freedom and independence. However, this also implies loneliness.

Going for PHD??

Hahaha. A tough question and hard decision! I am not 30 yet but still need to sort out what I want for the rest of my life. Am I really going to teach high school students till I reach my retiring age? Or am I going to be a news editor working for TV? Or am I going to take a PHD programme and try to teach at a uni.?

I am so confused lately. Partly because I'll take my entrance exam to Teachers' courses on July and partly because I'm under some pressure.
I am not sure why a Master in E/C translating and interpreting isn't qualified to teach high school students English. I'm wondering why do people think someone graduated from university with a BA in English can really teach better than anyone else.

These are bull shit as far as I see the issues. Of course, I can teach without a certificate for I am good and my students don't mind. However, my salary can't be raised if I don't get the teaching certificate. I really doubt why?

Saturday!! Hoo~~ Getting over excited???!!!

Hey... It's Saturday. What am I going to do today? How about buying my very first new apartment??? Hahahaa...

As many of my friends know that I'm not really good at decision making, but what makes it worse is that I tend to make decision very fast when there is someone pushing me.

There's a new building under construction near my home. Saturday afternoon, as I walked past there with my mom. We decided to check it out so we went into the reception. Wow... it was busy. A salesperson came to greet us and introduced my dream apartment to me.

The apartment costs around 8 million NT. Hey....... that's awful lot for young people like me, right? But I was really over excited about getting my own place. So I nearly booked it without thinking if I could afford it.

Late that night, I was still overwhelmed by the idea of getting my own place. I talked with my friend B while we were out for dinner and some fun. He seemed a bit shocked about my crazy idea. But he didn't really say anything to me during the whole night till he sent me home.

I was ready to say bye to him and went up home. He said are you really buying that apartment soon? I said I really wanted it. So.... He gave me some advice since he is an architect and his father is also in the filed. He said, "you really need to sleep on it and don't make decision so fast. Because you may change your job or even going abroad to study for PHD in the near future. Don't let the apartment tie you up."

We ended up talking in front of my home for an hour. After listening to his advice. I think I was really too excited for I even started thinking of my house warming party! Ha... How foolish I am. Why am I always like this? Saving little money and spending big ones!! Haha.. 8 million?? If my ex were here, he would have laughed so loud at me.

Hahaha... so embarrassed.

This morning I overslept. I didn't wake up till my mom found me still sleeping in bed around 7:50. She woke me up and I was really panic because I was supposed to be at school before 7:50. And just to make it worse, I had class at 8:10.

I got dressed really quick and ran to school. Luckily, I got there at 8:06. Hu.... What a relife. The class started and I was still catching up my breath. Haha....... lack of exercise.

It was so embarrassing. I am glad that my home is really close to the school. Otherwise, I couldn't imagine my students kept wondering what happened to their teacher and no body in my office knew where I was. How bad it would be if I were late. I couldn't imagine it! My God!!

I really need 2 alarm clocks!!!

Italian food and good friends.

I had a great dinner time today with my friend, B and his friend. They were both good and fun to be with. We went to an Italian restaurant and had dinner there.

We chatted and drank 6 bottles of water after dinner. I had baked pasta with tuna fish. B had pasta with smoked ham and his friend had vegetable pasta for he's a vegetarian. But.... we found that there were hams inside his meal. It's bad but he didn't care. He just picked the ham out of his plate.

My friend B's meal looked nice. He shared his smoked ham with me. Italian food is all about sharing. It's for family and good friends. The atmosphere at the dinner is always lively. I enjoy the meal when everyone is talking and listening and laughing. That's the best thing you can have in a dinner.

I am glad that I can have those good friends with me. Though feeling left behind sometimes, yet I'm proud that I have good friends who may not share my sadness but care about me and always try to encourage me to have positive thinking towards life.

My dear friends, I love you all.
