A memorable reunion

Since last week, my high school friends and I had planed an appointment for us and our class tutor at her new home! We asked for our teacher's willing in advance and made a date at 12 noon on Saturday. Finally the date is coming!!





At Saturday morning, I first came to the Global Mall to buy a present for my teacher to congratulate her moving into a brand-new house. As soon as we all friends reached, we began to rang the door bell to visit Miss Tang. She seemed so happy to see us and greeted us with joy. When walking into the apartment block, I was so enjoyed for there facilities such as gym, reading room, and the beautiful environment around the inside of small park.


When we arrived our teacher's new home, we strained at the leash to look around (of course under her admission) and then the most important thing was to chat with each other because we had not seen others especially Miss tang!! She treated us lunch-pizza and plum green tea~~
We were eating the delicious lunch and chatting! The funniest thing was that one might said his/her recently affair or something different, that is, gossiping about oneself.=囗=



About 4 p.m. ,we just already left teacher's home and were reluctant to say good-bye to Miss Tang. Ho ho~but our reunion was not over~~we went to the Global Mall near teacher's new home and game with machine of shooting a basketball! Ha~~Surprisingly I got the highest point:134~~UN~~it presented that I had not forgot my trick even if I played it 2 years ago.^^

Travel to Danshuei

Last Saturday, I had a appointment with my boyfriend to Danshuei! We took the MRT to the Danshuei station , then arrived there at 2:30p.m. An intriguing travel started!

At first, we walked along the Danshuei old street, tasting the local delicious food such as fish dumplings, Argi (fried meat pastry) and hard eggs, and so on. And~~ of course! we did not miss the jumbo ice cream!! Oh~~it was too tall to eat, and the top ice cream was easy to melt......We ate it with confusion>"<

Then, we visited a peculiar store- displayed kinds of rare creatures came from Amazon. Most had terrible or disgusting(I thought)appearance...But it was worthy of making a visit to this exhibition~It will broaden your horizon!


And next destination was Danshuei fisherman's wharf~We took a boat to that place! After getting off the boat, we came to the bridge of lovers (情人橋)Oh~~there is so beautiful scenery !! At that moment, the sun just set, we lingered at that bridge to appreciate the fine views.





Then, we walked through 木棧道- where the outdoor perfromed artist always perform their talent such as painting, and there were also store street providing dishes, coffie, and so on. We were strolling along the store street, waiting for the vocal recital called "at 觀海廣場 sponsored by Kinder Bueno. We were so lucky to know that there was a vocal recital today and got the tickle on the Danshuei old street. At 6:00p.m., the audience walked into the square continuously, and we also entered.




Although the atmosphere was so high, and we wanted to stay, the time passed by....All of a sudden it was 8:00p.m.!! So....we just had to took a boat to Danshuei and took MRT going home! It was a wonderful day >v<

Concerning Mosaic1's question of English class

I choose to answer the number 3 question: What is new with Kim Ssang Su? Is he still the CEO of LG Electronics? What can you find out about him, his family, and his life in general?


He is the CEO of LG Electronics. And he talked about himself in his own blog regarding his personal life.For one thing, he does his own thing energetically and passionately:he thinks that 24 hours is not enough for him. When he thinks that his judgment and actions as a CEO will determine the lives of tens of thousands of people, and he cannot stop working, even for a moment. He must devote over 70% of his waking time to thinking about and performing work. Otherwise, it will take him double the time to shift from thinking about other things to going back on the right track.

For the other thing, Besides work, his hobbies include mountaineering and reading. He considers that -while mountaineering, they(he and his staff) experience a different kind of "high" similar to a "running high" in marathon races. After climbing, they could barely move one step further, but they are more charged than any other time, and their consciousness towards a goal becomes clearer. they overcome the running high by standing on the peak of the summit.Business also has a running high. When productivity stagnates, which leaves one to think that he has reached the limit, one must surpass the barrier to be successful. Even Kim also believes that no matter how many books one reads, the information one acquires cannot be true knowledge if it cannot be useful and made tangible.

Besides his family play an important role in his life! He loves them and is thankful for them. He confesses that it is true he work very hard and constantly think of the company even at home. As such, "father and husband" has always been virtually absent from his children and wife.Nonetheless, his two daughters and youngest son have been raised well.

What a good learning place about "Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab "

Since the beginning of this week, I have made up my mind to listen to the General Listening Quizzes of Randall's ESL Cyber Listening Lab. There are listening topics to train my hearing everyday.


For example, I listened a lesson -A University Degree today. This topic's content is that a woman applies for a college and her father reminds her about tuition, housing fees, meal plan, and a meeting with her academic advisor. While the father doesn't know that his daughter has turned her major from business administration to wildlife science because her interest. Even more, the woman has already looked through the online university catalog, and qualified for a two-year, full tuition scholarship. Moreover, she can even go on to graduate school and further her education. The father is influenced by her daughter and want to enroll in night school to get another degree.


That conversation is humorous and meaningful for me! Because it let me experience that activity is the only road to knowledge! If you want to learn more, the results depend on your attitude and activity and the ambition to get your goal.


The end of this conversation also gives me a inspiration-one is never too old to learn! As that father, he emulates his daughter to advance himself. I anticipate myself to reach that spirit-never too late to learn!!

Happy birthday to my friend

Oh~~today is so happy!! In order to celebrate her birthday, we prepared everything including presents, cakes and card yesterday.

At lunch time, we divided the work in corporation- one of our friends bring the cake which bought yesterday and left it with a friend in dorm from the dormitory, and another took responsibility to gather others to the classroom. In addition, one was bound to take the main character away from our classroom.

Then, the cake was ready, and presents also stood by. The main role came back. It seemed that everything was all right! We began stealthily moving to outdoor with cakes, and stuck the candles "19" into the cake. But~oh~~God!! We forgot preparing the lighter!! Fortunately, we borrowed it from the shopkeeper, and lit candles, bringing it into classroom with singing "Happy birthday" song!

She was shocked at first, silently making wishes, and was touched. Afterwards, we all together ate the cake happily, and gave her card and the presents we elaborately selected: a cute pair of slippers, a lovely ornament, and a string of candies.

Though we prepared this celebration a little hard, it was worthy that we saw her laugh and experienced a wonderful birthday! Happy birthday !!

Complicated

Complicated -Avril Lavigne

Uh huh, life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh, that's the way it is
Cause life's like this
Uh huh, uh huh that's the way it is


Chill out whatcha yelling' for?
Lay back it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
you will see
I like you the way you are
When we're drivin' in your car
and you're talking to me one on one but you've become


Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back like you can't relax
You're tryin' to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me


Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
And you fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
and promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no


You come over unannounced
dressed up like you're somethin' else
where you are and where it's at you see
you're making me
laugh out when you strike your pose
take off all your preppy clothes
you know you're not fooling anyone
when you've become


Somebody else round everyone else
Watching your back, like you can't relax
Trying to be cool you look like a fool to me
Tell me


Why you have to go and make things so complicated?
I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated
Life's like this you
and You fall and you crawl and you break
and you take what you get and you turn it into honesty
promise me I'm never gonna find you fake it
no no no


Chill out whatcha yelling for?
Lay back, it's all been done before
And if you could only let it be
You will see


Somebody else round everyone else
You're watching your back, like you can't relax
You're trying to be cool, you look like a fool to me
Tell me


chorus x2


The meaning of this song is that think things simplified!!
I share this song because we all are sometimes hypocritical, disguising our true nature, and we dare not to confront realistic life even though we may be hurt or frustrated. I hope to try to face myself honestly, let the life uncomplicated, decrease unnecessary vexation.
