dear all readers,

my english is not well enough to express how i want to say and my feelings for the most of time : p please correct me if i have write something inappropriate. i appreciate : )

i welcome your comments (請多多指教) i don’t know if i translated it correct or not but you all know what i meant, right?

today is the last day of 2008, so after work, tons of people like a million willl head taipei 101 or the other cool places for countdown. there were 1.93 millions people taking taipei metro for coundown last year.
that’s why i hope we don’t have rain then otherwise many people will get wet when they are waiting for the beautiful fireworks.
 
before starting a new year, i would review the year’s happenings.
 
1. the most exciting thing was that i went to paris with my mrs. boss two times within one
    month.
2. the most unhappy event was that my mom had an operation at the begining of 2008.
3. my dear professor, alex, introduced me a cool friend so i have had a great opportunity to
    look around my country with him. 
4. believe or not! i can ride a motorcycle now.
5. i had four interesting classes quarter by quarter,  read 2 good books and 3
    awesome films.
6. i have short hair now after 7years.
 
now i’m going to set up some new goals for 2009
 
1. to do some crazy things i’ve never done before.
2. to ride a motorcycle to somewhere in taiwan.
3. to finish one painting.
4. to climp up at least 5 mountains.
5. keep jogging and cycling.
6. to have a trip abroad
happy new year to all my dear friends
wish we all will have a SUPER awesome year in 2009!

 

dear x,

i’m sorry that i postponed telling you the movie-australia. i’d like to share some of my feelings with you now.

i like the movie because the background color. it’s not vivid. um…i don’t know how to describe how i felt then but when i saw the color, i felt so true and cozy.

as you know, i’m used to listen to american’s accent and I feel comfortable and safe to hear that accent. but i have to say i like british’s accent as well especially from movies. to me, whenever i hear that accent, i feel super cool. it sounds gentle and very old fashion. no matter you are men or women even children, if you speak british, i guess i would always feel the same way : ) that’s why i like to watch harry potter’s movies.

i was touched by nicole and hugh jackman’s acting. as an actor, it’s not hard to be sad even crying. but i believe in nicole and hugh who have real tears when they act then.

when i was moved by some scenes the hot tears welled up in my eyes but i held back. i prefer crying alone. crying in front of your friend, he or she will try to comfort you and give you a warm huge…and then you will cry harder :p um…so i prefer crying alone…i can cry harder or just stop whenever i think it’s enough.

anyways, i don’t mention any plots about the movie because i hope you can go to see this movie. i’m glad that i have a chance to see this nice movie by the end of 2008. 5w337!!

have a good night, x!

it’s tiring to go to the class after hard work but i push myself to make it evey time.  

why i’m doing this because i don’t want to just work day by day. i think if life is only living on work, it’s not life at all. on the way to the class is the most difficult thing to do. how is that because when people are going home to have dinner, you are on the way to the class. when people are having a party, you are having a “date” with your teacher and classmates. but i have to say when you are there, everything is different! your brain starts to work again. you laugh when the instructor said something interesting. you talk something different from work. you are no longer belonging to the company but the class. it’s nice, isn’t it?

a life is a story. to me, life should be colorful as an interesting journey. my life isn’t colorful enough yet so i’m just trying to add “more color” to reach that way.

 

dear x,

i would tell you more about the movie i saw tonight but it’s time for bed.

i promise that i will write more tomorrow…

 

night, x.

 

 

Dear x,

 

On December 25th it was not only the Christmas day but also our new housekeeper’s birthday.

 

Few friends invited me to have a party and a special meal together but I refused. I have something more important to do.

 

A couple weeks ago when i knew A-Lian’s( housekeeper’s name) birthday, I asked my mom if we could do something for her. And my mom agreed. My parents bought a cake to celebrate her birthday. And we bought gifts for her.

 

It’s time for the cake song. A-Lian only can speak Vietnamese and a little Chinese. In my family, we speak Taiwanese for the most of time but everyone also can speak Chinese. So we decided to sing a birthday song for A-Lian in Chinese.

 

She is 25 years old but it’s her first time to have a birthday cake. So she has no idea to make wishes before blowing the candles. My parents were TOO excited to teach her how to do it. First of all she didn’t know why my mom kept asking her to close her eyes and telling everyone what she wants. She  couldn’t understand except kept laughing and also everyone. I think they’ve lost their communication. So I asked everyone to calm down. I gave her a “performance” so she got exactly what my parents meant right after that.

 

From her smile, I knew A-Lian was super happy as I was. If I can have a wish, I wish we can do the same thing together next year:) And I’m sure she can make wishes before blowing candles ^o^

 

Good night, x.

 

this special day makes me miss seattle a lot. my dear friends from the whole world wish u all….

Merry Christmas      聖誕快樂       Joyeux Noël     メリークリスマス      圣诞快乐     

Frohe weinachten      즐거운 성탄        Chung Mung Giang Sinh!!!

 

 

亲爱的 x,

dear x,

 

今早我在公司发现老板的小花园里, 多了一盆花. 看起来像是小菊花, 其实并不尽然.

in the morning i discovered a new pot of flower in boss’s garden. it looks like small chrysanthemum but not at all.

 

就在我目不转睛的观赏它时, 发现其中一片叶子上有一只小蜗牛.

when i could never take my eyes off the flower, i found there was a little snail on a leaf.

 

我把这件事告诉我的一位同事. 她说最好把小蜗牛藏在隐密一点的地方, 不然等老板发现一定会把它宰了.

i told a colleague of mine about what i found. she said it’s better to hide the snail in a secret spot, otherwise our boss will kill it for sure when he notices it.

 

我想小埚牛是无辜的. 所以我就把它藏在另一个我自认为很安全的盆栽里. 结果我错了

i think the little one is innocent so it was hided in a secret pot where i think it should be safe. but it turns out i was wrong.

 

很巧的!老板今天修剪了那个安全的盆栽. 可怜的小蜗牛一定是被丢掉了.

coincidently, my boss pruned that “safe” pot today. the poor small snail must be thrown then. 

 

因为后来我去找它. 就在也找不到了.

because after then, i tried to find it but i couldn’t find it anymore.

 

我本来是想帮小蜗牛的, 但没想到我却成了凶手. 这肯定是我所造成的错 : (

essentially, i thought i could do it a favor but now i’m a killer. it was undoubtedly my bad.

 

f.l.

 

亲爱的X,                                                                                               

dear x,               

                                                                                  

今晚的台北好冷好冷                                                                            

tonight’s taipei is very very cold.

                                         

一下班, 打了卡, 拎着我的包包和外套. 出了办公室的门, 我就沿路一直跑.                 

after getting off work and punching the clock, i carried my bag and jacket. i ran and ran along the road when i walked out from the office.

                                           

天空下着毛毛雨, 寒风吹我的脸. 顿时才意会到冬天真的来了.                                 

the sky has drizzle and an icy wind has blew over my face. at the moment, i realized winter has come to here forthwith.

                                                               

今天工作有点忙, 所以有点赶不及晚上的哲学课.                                                      

i was a bit busy at work today so i nearly couldn’t catch the philosophy class.

                                         

不喜欢迟到的我, 所以一出大门就没命的跑, 最后我准时的冲进教室上课 :p                          

i don’t like to be late so i ran as fast as i could. i was just on time runnung into the class.

                                         

我们今晚讨论自由.” 我必须说, 今晚的题目, 我并不感兴趣而且有点无聊.                    

we talked about liberty tonight. i have to say, “i’m not interested in the topic and also feel bored.”

                                                                                 

现在我累了, 也困了.                                                                                    

now i’m exhausted and sleepy

 

晚安, x!

good night, x!

  

 

 

 

 

 

It’s a nice Chinese pop music to check out. ^v^ Hope you will enjoy it.

温柔 

作词:阿信 作曲:阿信 编曲:五月天

走在风中 今天阳光 突然好温柔

天的温柔 地的温柔 像你抱着我

然后发现 你的改变 孤单的今后

如果冷 该怎么渡过

天边风光 身边的我 都不在你眼中

你的眼中 藏着什么 我从来都不懂

没有关系 你的世界 就让你拥有

不打扰 是我的温柔

**不知道 不明了 不想要 为什么 我的心

明明是想靠近 却孤单到黎明

不知道 不明了 不想要 为什么 我的心

那爱情的绮丽 总是在孤单里 再把我的最好的爱给你

不知不觉 不情不愿 又到巷子口

我没有哭 也没有笑 因为这是梦

没有预兆 没有理由 你真的有说过

如果有 就让你自由

**这是我的温柔

 

溫柔

作詞:阿信 作曲:阿信 編曲:五月天

走在風中 今天陽光 突然好溫柔

天的溫柔 地的溫柔 像你抱著我

然後發現 你的改變 孤單的今後

如果冷 該怎麼渡過

天邊風光 身邊的我 都不在你眼中

你的眼中 藏著什麼 我從來都不懂

沒有關係 你的世界 就讓你擁有

不打擾 是我的溫柔

**不知道 不明了 不想要 為什麼 我的心

明明是想靠近 卻孤單到黎明

不知道 不明了 不想要 為什麼 我的心

那愛情的綺麗 總是在孤單裏 再把我的最好的愛給你

不知不覺 不情不願 又到巷子口

我沒有哭 也沒有笑 因為這是夢

沒有預兆 沒有理由 你真的有說過

如果有 就讓你自由

**這是我的溫柔
