張懸's concert

There was a concert in our school today, the singer was 張懸. It started at 7:00, my honey and I took part in it after dinner.

Actually, it was not only a concert, but also a lecture about 張懸's career of music. She talked about how she encountered with music, how she got along well with music, and how she made through the period of frustration. I found out that she is a convinced person, and her talking was very substantial in content. In addition, she mentioned the relationship between the society and the influence of music, and she even talked about her thoughts about the politics. She was very frank about her thinking and opinions even though her father is a politician --- the head-secretary of the foundation of channel communication.

I think I like her. She has not only the good singing voices but also the good personalities. Also, she is very humble, and value what she possesses. I think she is succeeded in her life.

Night market in Tainan ^^

Since I came back to Tainan last time, I haven’t been there for about five weeks. I really miss my hometown, miss my mom.

Every time I come back, I want to taste all of delicious food in Tainan. Of course, night market is the best destination we would go. This week, we went to the “Garden night market” In there, you can eat all kinds of exotic food that you would never tire of. What you can think about, it could be found in night market. For example: 印度拉茶,印度烤餅, they were made from India. And if you want to eat something from Japan, you can eat 章魚燒and銅鑼燒. Or if you want to try something from China, you can find some barbecue and roast. Otherwise, you still can find some aboriginal food or Taiwan delicacies --- 蚵仔煎and so on…

After eating and drinking to content, it’s time to go shopping! In night market, you can find all kinds of cheap stuffs, clothes, pants, shoes and any gadgets. But remember you have to take enough money with you, because you might wipe put all of your money easily.

I had a plentiful harvest again in night market, I was satisfied. But, I have expected the next trip of night market in Tainan!

Finally, I consulted a doctor what’s going on with my foot, and the doctor said there was the arthritis on my toe, I had to take a rest for some days and had better not to walk too often, by the way, I had to massage my toe every day.

But the dancing performance is going to coming, and all I can do just sit there looking at the others who practice hard. It is still not certain whether my toe will get well or not before the date of performance, what’s a pity if I couldn’t on stage since I’ve practiced hard for a long time!

The movie “Lust, Caution(色，戒)”

Thank Jaisy for taking us to see the famous movie “Lust, Caution(色，戒)”.I was really touched by this movie.
It happened in China during 1938, a group of patriotic youth wanted to murder a leader of traitors---Mr. Yee, they decided to put on a play and close to him. Thus, a pretty girl in this group --- 王佳芝played a role as Mr. Yee’s mistress and tried to entice him by her beauty in order to acquire his trust then killed him secretly.They got a long well through a long time, and Mr. Yee loved her deeply and even bought an expensive diamond to her, 王佳芝thought she just played a role as a mistress, and she didn’t really love Mr. Yee. Until one day, 王佳芝and the group had planned to killed Mr. Yee while they went to a jewelry store. However, 王佳芝 suddenly understood that she had fallen in love with Mr. Yee when she saw the truly heart and deep love from Mr. Yee’s eyes, she also found that she didn’t want Mr. Yee died. Nevertheless, she knew that the play should have an ending eventually, and the sacrifice must be herself.

Interview for a new job

Today, Samantha and I found a notice at bulletin board posted by a cram school. They wanted English TA, so we decided to take a look.

We made an appointment with the head-teacher of the class at 6:30p.m, actually, we were very nervous, and we thought it must be a formal interview. However, it was a smooth going beyond our expectations. The head-teacher just asked us some questions about certificates and experiences, and then she asked us to demonstrate the way we teach students, after that, she told us we can start to teach next week. How easily we got a job there, but the salary just 100NT per hour, it was not very satisfying but it was barely enough, after all, the work is very free and easy.

My work time is 6:00pm~8:00pm on Tuesday, and my students are third grade and second grade at junior high school. Actually, I am not good at taking children in hand, and I hope I can get alone well with those students.

a practice writting

Some people like to travel with a companion. Other people prefer to travel alone. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
In my opinion, I prefer to travel by myself. Since the cultures and the social customs, most of the youngsters in the European and American countries would travel by mapping out their own routes. Generally speaking, traveling by oneself can be more flexible, and we can enjoy ourselves to the full at all spots. In addition, we will learn to be more independent to deal with daily problems when traveling in other countries. I will give some reasons to support my choice.
The foremost, the greatest advantage of traveling alone is “being Free”. The schedule and the route can be changed all the time by following our inclinations. We can stay at the sight spots all day as long as we want, and experience the local customs deeply. Especially when we visit a museum, there will be enough time for us to appreciate the exhibition completely, since we have searched adequate information adequately before we set out. We will experience all new things by ourselves, and immerse in the trip completely, not just taking pictures instead.
Secondly, we can compare the expenditure and the way of consumption with traveling with a companion, and there will be some spaces to economize. We can choose the B&B to stay; therefore we not only can experience the way that the local residents live but also can spend less money; that will be interesting as well.
The last reason is that traveling alone can train us to be more courageous and independence. There may be a lot of daily problems we have to face, such as lodging, diet, and getting lost. It’s necessary for us to ask for help! And we can experience the different ways of solving problems that the different cultures have. It’s a good way for us to get used to the Culture Shock. In addition, if we are good at some foreign languages, especially English, it is the best opportunity to conversate with native speakers.
In conclusion, I think traveling alone is better than traveling with a companion. We can experience the various customs and enjoy the sights freely, and accumulate our knowledge, even then cultivate the abilities of independence. That will be a great harvest by traveling alone.

Bob Marley

Recently, I am interested in one kind of special music from Jamaica. It is called "Reggae". When it comes to reggae, it is necessary to mention Bob Marley. He was called “the hero of the Third World”, and the first one of Jamaica entertainers step on the international stage. Bob Marley composed a lot of reggae’s songs are on everybody’s lips, such as “Get up, Stand up”、 “I Shot The Sheriff” 、“No woman, No Cry” etc. he is the representative of the reggae music. We can easily have an association: “Jamaica = REGGAE = Bob Marley”, and it also stands for the contribution that Bob Marley had given to. Bob Marley was died of cancer at age 36, the whole Jamaica was in grief because their musical hero had gone away, and never came back again. His sons Steve and David inherited his musical skills, continued developing reggae. The CDs of Bob Marley can be bought around Taiwan. The back of the inactive, is a solemn subject, this is Bob Marley.

Midterm exam was over

The midterm exam was over, although I thought that I had almost well prepared about one week, I still felt nervous about the result. Fortunately, the situation seemed not so bad as my expectation, many subjects were 80 and upward. However, I still unsatisfied about this, because I found out that I was careless when I answered questions, it means if I was careful at that time, I could get higher grades. It’s too late to be regrettable, I have to be more careful next time.

I hate dentist to death ˋˊ

I had had a toothache recently, and I decided to see the dentist yesterday. Before having a appointment with dentist, I surfed on internet, and searched for which dental clinic is better in Yunlin, I found out that a lot of people recommend the 張森豪 dental clinic, thus, I went. However, when I arrived there, the nurse told me I have to reserve the appointment, because all the available time had been reserved utill 12/11, it is thus clear that the dentist is very professional. I thought. But for my poor tooth, I ask the nurse for another dental clinic. , and I saw the dentist, finally.

After checking my tooth, the dentist told me that I had a dental caries on my wisdom tooth, it had to be pulled out. I was shocked and the fear welled up my mind...

My mouth was no sensory after the dentist gave an injection of anaesthetic. I was badly hurt at my gum and almost cried, the dentist actually teased me: "ha-ha! It's hurt, right!?" I would have kicked him down if my gum didn't hurt like that...

Finally, my carious wisdom tooth was pulled out, my gum started to bleed like a pig, the dentist took a cotton to stopper my wound. But it was not the end of the disaster, after the anaesthetic loose its a effect gradually, my gum was badly hurt like I was going to die. Although the dentist prescribed the anodyne to me, it still badly hurt and I could help but cried. I thought I had better went to sleep early to reduce the feeling of hurt.

This morning, when I got up, I knew that I got a temperature, I don't know whether it is the side effect of the pill or not. What all I know is that I sleep all day without any eating.

Lovers are crazy~~

This afternoon, I and Smantha met a group of people, one of them told us that his friend wanted to take a picture with us. We were surprised and didn't know what's going on.

We finally knew that the boy who took picture with us has been together with his girlfreind for 200 days, and he wanted to do something touched to his girlfriend. So he decided to take 200 pictures with 200 persons and ask these 200 persons to write some words on the card to wish them. He really has given much thought to the matter. How touched he is.

But I have to say, lovers are crazy, and they always have a lot of leisure time to do something romantic, but I am curious about that, how about 300 days and 400 days and 500 days? Will he still ask 300, 400 or 500 people to take picture with him? Let's wait and see!!^^
