Back from Tainan

June 20, 2007 . I was planning to post this yesterday, but I was too tired. Here are wat I wrote yesterday.

Just being back from home, I am soooooooo exhausted.
Although I only spent less than 24 hrs in my parents’ house, it’s good to see them again after 3 months. I know it's kind of crazy to go there and come back within one day, but I just missed my family so much out of sudden after having potluck lunch with my church friends last Saturday. The potluck lunch made me think of my mom.
So, this Monday, I realized that I must go home, so that I will not spend too much time and energy thinking about my parents, my cute sister, and my fat brother. They were so happy to see me after one semester! They kept complaining how long they hadn’t seen me. Kekkeke, I felt kind of guilty.
Anyway, being home was so good and relaxing, and I finish watching Shrek 3 with my sister. It’s not that funny like Sherk1 and2, so don’t go to the movie theater for Shrek 3! Wait for DVD!
During the journey back to Taipei, I finish watching “The Holiday” and “Stranger than Fiction” on the bus. They were awesome! I am so moved to tears! Romantic comedy filmy is always my favorite kind of movie, and “The Holiday” is a good one!” The character that Jude Law stars in that movie is just a kind of men that I love. I always like Cameron Diaz’s sweet smile. If Jack Black appears around me, I am gonna crazy about him. Even looking at him would make me laugh! There are many scenes in that movie that I had felt the same way before, especially the scene that Kate Winslet talks to Jack Black about how she was madly in love and hurt by her ex-boyfriend. I love this movie because I found the past myself in the movie.

Also, I like “Stranger than Fiction” although at first I was bored because the taxman’s life is really boring. But the background music (Whole Wide World sang by Wreck Eric) in this scene was waking me up! The music was amazing! After the music, the taxman's life is totally upside down for the better! It makes me think of how sad it would be that my life is another cliche or routine narrated and controlled by a writer. I don't want a boring life like that! It would feel horrilble if I reach the end of my life.

Whole Wide World

When I was a young boy My mama said to meThere's only one girl in the world for youAnd she probably lives in Tahiti
I'd go the whole wide worldI'd go the whole wide worldJust to find her
Or maybe she's in the BahamasWhere the Carribean sea is blueWeeping in a tropical moonlit nightBecause nobody's told her 'bout you
I'd go the whole wide worldI'd go the whole wide worldJust to find her
I'd go the whole wide worldI'd go the whole wide worldFind out where they hide her
I'd go the whole wide worldI'd go the whole wide worldJust to find her
Why am I hanging around in the rain out hereTrying to pick up a girlWhy are my eyes filling up with these lonely tearsWhen there're girls all over the world
Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhereUnderneath the tropical sunPining away in a heatwave thereHoping that I won't be long
I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with herCaressing her warm brown skinAnd then in a year or maybe not quiteWe'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide worldI'd go the whole wide worldJust to find her
I'd go the whole wide worldI'd go the whole wide worldFind out where they hide her

Yayyyyy.. Life should be like an exciting adventure, not just another cliche!

I don't wanna stay in the safe circle of my world. I wanna explore the whole wide world and get some changes! (I know I am changing by God!) Yay (*Punk Gesture*---ermmm it looks like another cliche...Gee)

-------------------------------------------

Yesterday another huge excitment that I had is to talk to KT on MSN!!!!!Gosh! I really missed her SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy to find she also missed me!!! It's so sweet that she said that!!!!!!!That's one of the reasons that I like her. She's so open to share!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, Trojan War at Modern times!?

Uh huh..the invasion of Trojan horse not only ruins Troy at old times, but also kills me right now!

A week ago, I found my computer has infected computer virus, which is Trojan horse virus again. I try to ignore the warning of my computer because I was suffering from influenza viruses.

During this week, the Trojan horse virus kept showing its great power to attract my attention.

Here are its achievements:

1.Couldn't talk on MSN very smoothly.

2.Sometimes, unrecognizable windows suddenly appeared .

3. The speed of opening a file or document would be just like the walking pace of a turtle!

4. Bingo! There is also a Trjoan horse living in my USB Flash drive.

I thought they are not big deal until NOW!

I don't know what I was thinking and what's wrong with my hand.

Few minutes ago, while I started to work on my revision of research paper which was all stored in the USB Flash drive, the trojan horse appeared all of sudden and didn't allow me to open any file in my USB Flash drive. As soon as I saw the virus of trojan horse, I was out of my mind to format my USB Flash drive to kill the virus. I guess my hand was controlled by the spirit of Hector, who was the mightiest warrior on the side of Troy during the Trojan War.

Yahoo~~~Hector defeats the trjoan horse this time, but my important papers in usb are all gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, I guess God is testing me!

A Visit to Taipei Jade Market

Thanks to the class,"Appreciation of Gems", I just visited Taipei Jianguo Jade Market in this afternoon .

It's amazing, and I love it. I've never been there, so I was so excited about eveything in Jade Mareket ! It is said to contain 873 jade stalls in the market, so it is one of biggest jade markets in Asia.

I was really amazed with its big size, the varity of the products, and the amount of its visitors!! After I got lost in MRT station, I finally reached the entrace of Taipei Jade Marekt. Before getting into the entrance, I could almost feel the lively atmosphere inside the jade market. There were full of people, foreingers, connoisseurs disscussing gems and jades in front of stalls with fervor.

There are so many jades, Jadeite, gems, crystals, corals, agates, accessories made of silver for sale. Most of them are not easy for me to recognise because I didn't work and learn hard in this class. +_+! I wish I could go to that class every time, so that I wouldn't always ask stupid questions to the stallmen. However, they are still kind to answer any question.

Actually, I am not that interested in jade because it's not popular for young people to wear jade in moder times in Taiwan. So, I only pay some attention to the jades for me to work on the report. Most of my attention was focused on the accessories made of silver, black achate, Turquoise, and Tourmaline(which has15 beautiful colors for different tourmaline stones.)!

(A collection of jade!)

(I don't prefer jade, but the one in the middle looks good. It made me think of wearing jade might be a cool idea.)

Tourmaline and other precious stones.

Turquoise: my birthstone.

This is my favorite stall. There are so many accessories made of silver . They are mainly from Napal and Thailand. Recently, I found myself look good in folk style sometimes, so I am gonna purchase somethings here next month. kekekeke

Stone carved in the shape of lichee with one real lichee on it.

Opal

I bought my earings in this stall.

I buy that pair of black achate earings to match my cross necklace. kekekeke, I have been looking for suitable earings to match my black cross necklace, and I got it. hahahahaha

hmm.. How come it looked ordinary in the picture!!??? Well.. I guess it's because I am too sleepy right now.

I had better go to bed.

Pray for My Health.

Lord Jesus, I need You.

I have been suffering from the cold for a week.
I have a really bad cough, a sore throat, running nose, and horrible voice!!!!
It's hard for me to prounce any normal voice of mine now. How weird!? haha (I really feel like my nickname, Duck now. )
In order to recover, I had gone to the doctor for 4 times. (Very amazing! I don't know why the doctor that I had gone to for 3 times is actually a a practitioner of Chinese medicine. He got a license of traditional Chinese medical science, but he works at a hospital of western medicine. I went to that hospital which look like very modern and western. He kept using the principle of traditional Chinese medical science to cure me of cold. As you all know, the treatment of traditional Chinese medical science would take a long time to recover. So, I cannot get better a little bit after taking so many medicine. I began to reget that I gave that doctor three opportunities. Thus, in this afternoon, I went to a new doctor!!!)
I cannot believe I would suffer tortures from a common cold so much.
The new doctor told me bad news.
My health condition: common cold-->bronchitis---> pneumonia
She gave me the medicine of antibiotics to take in order to prevent pneumonia.
Humm, I get a little better after taking antibiotics although I still feel dizzy and feel like I am not myself.

Anyway, hope I will get better soon because I am tired of the sickness and I need physical strength and clear brain to work on the final assignments and exams. (Next week is our final week. This semester will reach an end in the middle of June. I guess by the end of this semester, I will have to hang in there!!!)

Hope God will hear my pray and help me go through the sickness and difficulty of the fina week!!!!!
In Jesus name, Amen.
