Ilan Train Station- Jirafa


After summer vacation,  many Installations which surround the Ilan train station become the popular tourist spot. This topic of the theme ideas of Installations come from the Taiwan picture book  author, Jimmy, who put many animals as the main character of the picture books.

Nowadays, the Ilan train station is decorated by the riotous colors and jumbo animals, such as giraffe. In the other side of corner, there is a row of shining train hang highly in the sky (roof, actually). The delight color make the theme park fill with energy. There are also many parents who visit the spot with there children. It is really a magical dreaming place to the travelers.

Rex Chou

Recently, I get a connection with my teacher in the internet. I really like him His name is Rex. Rex is my English teacher in the cram school as I was a senior high school student. I could tell how charming he is. He is my model while I was confused. I remember how confidence as he stands on the stage to teach us.

I really admire he, Rex. He taught us once that '' While you choose your way to study, you should do your best and spare all your efforts. Do not blame anyone who support you to make this choice. It's your own  responsibility."

Frankly, sometimes I am really doubt that is it a right choice that I study in the foreign language department. Cause I know I am not really interested in studying in foreign language. I mean I like to sharpen my skills to use different languages, instead of entering a language department to "study language".  Due to the hesitation, I think I haven't put all my efforts to "English". However, when I saw teacher's pictures in the net, I feel ashamed that I haven't been that kind of good person he expect. I dare not to chat with him, dare not to say "teacher I really like you" to him. I feel really embarrassed that I am such an student didn't try very hard to improve myself.

In these days, I decided to be a person like he,Rex. As he said,"facing our choice bravely". Do hard working as a learner as he had expected to his student. Although in Chinese, we said '' Do not  study for someone, especially do not study for your parents. You should study for yourself."  But I still want to be the one who study for someone. I want to be a person who is brave to face one's problem and try efforts to be a better person for the person I really care, Rex.

Drama Hair





Because of the drama, I have to cut my hair as a boy looking. I regard the new style as a new challenge in the beginning of 2014. Due to the drama, my hair totally cut in 3 times. I am act as a little boy.




Either say goodbye to my hair, but also led on my bed till midnight to talk to myself that I should say goodbye to my past years.

Although in 2013 there were so many memorable events, some are really nice, however, some are sorrow. These days in 2013 is really unhappy to me to pass through. I told myself in the new year, I should learn the lesson from everything had happened. Maybe there's some silent argument between friends and I. However, I don't care about the childish quarrels anymore. Or there were someone cheated on me. No matter who or what had happened. I will try to forgive and forget.(Ha Ha  And also try my best to be an optimistic girl. Welcome to 2014!   I hope everything is going well in the coming days. (high five)

Christmas Song

This is my favorite Christmas song. Wham! - Last Christmas
I remember that I was really in bad mood in last Christmas (I mean last year). Therefore, I wrote full pages of letters, and sent them to Santa Claus. I sent letters to Finland, Germany, and...(I forgot) However, I could recall that I was crying while I was writing the letters. I know there will be a man or a woman as a Santa Claus waiting for getting my letters. I try very hard to use my poor English to express my feelings. However, this year, I am too busy to write letters to the Santa who still lives happily in North Pole. But I want to say Merry Christmas to he in here. Thanks for him, I know there are always a nice friend blessing to the whole world and always smiling at me.
 
Last Christmas
Lyrics:George Michael /Music:George Michael /Arranger:George Leong

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
Last Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I love you"
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I'm hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on
Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover buy you tore him apart
Maybe next year I'll give it to someone
I'll give it to someone special.

Children's Book - Nobody Likes Me




Nobody Likes Me!                                                                       Author: Raoul Krischanitz
                                                                                                      Illustrator: Raoul Krischanitz

The story is talking about Buddy the dog tries to make friends with the other animals he meets, however, it seems that none of them likes him until he manages to clear up their confusion about him.

I think this publishing, Nobody Likes Me, has a goal to help with children’s self esteem. It is also a great article dealing with a sensitive and common problem for children of young age. In this book, every animal includes the main character, Buddy, they didn't say anything to each others, they just judge others appearance and avoid greeting. It is a good way to let children know that if you want to make friends, you should not prejudiced others by first impressions. That will makes many misunderstandings.

According to the composition of the pictures in this book, it use diagonal line to show the opposite of the parties. However, in the last page of this book, the composition shows that all the characters in the same line, same level. Also the picture is rich of colors to symbolize racial diversity

(Chinese) Boxing

I really like this movie, THE GRANDMASTER. It's talking about Chinese martial arts and the masters of Chinese generations. According to this film of behind the scenes, we can realize how difficult to become a person who plays in good Chinese martial arts. In this film(movie), they are very famous actors in mainland of China. They(almost every actors) also have good grounding in Chinese Kung-fu. Like the movie director said, " The Chinese martial arts are really fascinating and mysterious. 


Philosophy of Bruce Lee

 I said empty your mind
be formless
shapeless
like water.
Now you put water into cup
It becomes the cup.
You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle.
You put it into tea pot
It becomes the tea pot.
Now water can flow
or it can crash.

Be water, my friend.
