Hula Girls

I always like movies or stories which make me happy or let me feel warm. Recently, I saw a movie ''Hula Girls''. It was a story about coal miners in a small country. The background was in 1965 Japan. It was an era of new and old. The coal industry was being downfallen and the
worker came to a fine pass of losing their jobs. Those coal miners were used to live depending on coal pits. They have no idea what to do after being unemployed. At that time, an empire wanted to found a Hawaiian Center. However, the transitional inhabitants were so conservative that they cannot accept the new the tourism production. They resisted to found the Hawaiian Center. However, there were some girls had another attitude and thought different from their elders. They had dreams to promote their hometown. They learned how to dance although the process was so difficult and unrespetive. They still insisted their goal and spiritual. At last, all of their parents and other inhabitants finally confirmed their effort and gave them applause. I was really moved by this movie and let my tears falling whille watching this movie. The cinestrip impressed me the most was that one of the girls' father dead of an accedant happened in the coal pit. When the girl knew this bad news, she was not only became stronger but comfirmed her dream more certainly. She suppressed her grief and stood on the stage to dance, to reach her dream. She said that she knew her father would be happy of what she did.

Made an essence soap

Our chemical experiment this time was making an essence soap. We had three kinds of oil can chose, that were olive oil, coconut oil, pork oil. Our team decided to use the olive oil to make our essence soap. However, it was not very favorably during our experiment. We had that be brewed almost one hour, but it didn't have any chemical reflection at all. The reason of our problems was that our temperature was not high enough so the chemical reflection was not processing anymore. When the TA told us about our problem, our experiment had processed for a long time. We felt very anxious and flurry that we were really afraid that our soap would not appear. Fortunately, after I raising the temperature our soap finally appeared. I felt release at that time. Feeling happy that we had the thing to hand on to our teacher. Although I was glad that I had an essence soap to use, the basicity of our soap was too strong. It made my hands crimpled. This was an empressed experience among all of my chemical experiments.

The special Christmas night

The puzzles I bought in Eslitebook store

Today is the party of Life Science.However, my roommate and I didn't attend this party. We had something special plane about our Christmas Night. After school, we rode my roommate's motorcycle to IDEE department store. We had Okonomiyaki at the underfloor of the store. It's really interesting to me, because I haven't eaten this kind of food before. Fortunately, my roommate had an experience to deal with this kind of Japanese sild dish. She told me some different flavor and type of Okonomiyaki. She also introduced me some source I can have while eating Okonomiyaki, such as laver, yellow mustard, green mustard and garlic source. After enjoyed our delicious dinner, we went to Eslitebook store where I bought two boxes of jigsaw puzzle. They are patterens of the book illustrations created by Jimmy. At last, we went to a little mountain to see the night scenery of Tauyuan. Although the wind was very strong and the temperature was merely about 14 celsius, I still very happy to go out with my good friend. There were a lot of light in front of me, which liked stars twinkled in the sky. My roommate indicated the direcions of Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, Tauyuan Chung Cheng international airport, Chung Keng University so and on , helping me to figure out where we accurate were. The time we back to our dormitory was about to ten o'clock. It was really late. Although we felt tired and cold after we went back, it was worm in our heart. Our heart were wormed by joy and happiness.

Scent of Woman

Yesterday I saw a movie in a certain movie channel and that was ''Scent of Woman''. The story was about a blind colonel Feank and a senior high student. The colonel lost his slight in an unexpected accident.He was a wise man but hard to be along with. Because of living in dark without any light, he saw his life a tragic and has lost the passion of keeping stay in the word. He went to the proper city- New York as the last tour in his whole life. After that, then end his life the soldier bearing unifoem by giving a shoot toward his head. And another character the student Charlie who came from a poor family, needed to do some part time job to afford his tuition fees. The two characters were together during the Thanksgiving Day. Through Charile, the blind colonel found the meaning of living again,relazing that there are still many beautiful things exist in the word. That gave him the reason to surive. And our young friend also expericenced a valuable lesson. I was impressed the most by a statement that the colonel said:''i always know that road is right, no exception, I just know it. But I never chose that. Why? Because it is too hard. '' We also have many choices to choose as long as we are alive. But the best or the must way is usually not easy to go, that maybe rough and sweep as if there is no destination. We may be afraid or feel painful to attend that journey. However, we have to and must pick our bravery up, to face it. As a famous solgan:'' Just do it!''

March with Me

Today, my sister gave me a CD ''Heat is on 2005'' which was published by Jingo records. There are seventeen lyrics which were carefully selected by listeners. Among these songs or classical composes I like the song which sang by Giorgia Fumanti the most. The name of this wonderful song is ''March with me'' excerpted from the ablum ''Like a Dream ''. I couldn't find the words of this song, so I merely listen some of the sentiences by my ears. Among those sentiences, there is one I was moved the most. ''Come sing with me, for peace and love. Joying with me now and march with me. Now is the world let's try once again.'' When I listen this song I always feel that there is still have hopes in this world. No matter how bad the public security is or how cold and detached between poeple, their is still warm and kindhearted exist. These are the feeling I gain while listening it. The singer Giorgia Fumanti is an Italian soprano. She can sing smoothly and steady in mediant domain and has a good skill in singing high A to the extreme weak voice. She is not narrowly be limited by any kinds of music groups, so she has infinite potential to spread her music.

The cockroach

It's the first time that I felt myself a heroine. Last night I went to bathroom to take a shower as usual, and there was nothing special. It was just a daily routine. Suddenly, my sister screamed. Followed her line of slight, there was something that I never wanted to touch, to be closed, or even saw it. That arch-criminal caused our panic was a five-centimeter cockroach. Just when I fatal hit at the moment. My sister has already taken an electric shock net in my hand, and begged me by her eyes to killed that scary thing. Out of having no choice, I picked up my bravery, and gave that poor insect a stick. But the worst of all, the clever insect flight away. Both my sister ans I all exclaimed ''Oh! My God!'' Finally, my dad came to rescued us. That horrible thing was put into the toilet and disappeared from our sight. All of us all took a breath with different reasons. (Dad may gladed that he didn't have to hear any girl screams. I thought my sister was only felt happy because of the disappearance of that cockroach. For me, I didn't have to pretend not be afraid of that thing anymore.)

Biohazard 4

Recently,there is a kind of video game which is burning to the touch. Last three months, my father went to China for business. However, he came back with a big package. There were four rockers, a machine and the CDs of the hot game-Wii. Among those CDs I had play the game ''Biohazard 4'' the most. This was my first time playing video games. For me, it was really interesting. I always scared by the roar of the giant or the corpses whith appeared unexpectedly. The music was also horrible when I adventured in the game. It always had the best effect of scaring while playing in the midnight. When it was all quiet surrounding, the suddenly screaming or appearance would totally made you scared. However. I didn't have a good skill at playing such games. I seldom finish one part of the game without a hitch. After I finally finished all the game, there was a function in the game that could record how many times you died or failed in your mission. My record seemed not very well because I had died 188 times and failed in my mission 80 times total in this ''Biohazard 4'' video game. Until now, I always play this game when I back my home. I have taken almost five times going around this games. Although I have played for so many times, I still think it's very interesting. Enjoying myself in this adventure story and gain a sense of accomplishment while finishing one mission. Or it can make me happier and give vent to my bad mood when kill all the corpses by my submachine gun. I don't think that indulge in the vedio or computer games is a thing should be courage. However, I think that playing them sometimes is also a good way to give your negitive mood a n outlet.

An English studying group

I had an English studying group last week. Our topic was ''The Black Cat'', a short story from EdgarAllan Poe.

A delight afternoon

Today is a special day for me. I had lunch with my old friend. We knew each other since we were four years old, actually, we were classmates in a kidergarten. He is now studying in the Cheng Kung University which is located in Tainan. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Writing an Email is the only way we connet with each other. However, I always have many tests and reports in Chung Gung University and he is busy in his schoolworks,too. As result, we only write to each other on an average once a month. Today is a rare oppotunity that he came back to Hsinchu. We unstoped talking about what happens between us, such as our school life, what association we attened, or our roomates. He also told me about many stories happened in his school which made me scared even until now. He told me that Tainan is a place with automosphere of romantics. A lot of traditonal Europe architectures like Presidential Palace we usually see on the televistion.The yellow and dim street lights enhance the effect of romance.
However, the delicate bulidings would become haunted houses since the becoming of the deep night. He told me many strang events happened on his classmates or direct seniors.
Except of having a lunch, we walked around in Tsing Hau University. He played the piano with my favorite song for me.
It was a happy afternoon to me. Although I don't know when we will meet each other next time, I know that our friendship will maintain forever.

The annoying little bugs

The big chemical test is coming. I didn't have a rest even in my Saturday and Sanday time. For the urge of getting a good drade, I need to syudy harder.

I really fed up with little bugs. While I was studying this morning (in my home), there were some little flying creatures surrounding me. Because it was very early in the morning, there was no noise except the voice I made, such as the pen falling on the floor or the sound I slipped my book pages. But these little bugs also made another noise annoyed me.

They always fell on my books, which would made sound like ''ta''. During the first ten minutes when I began studying, there became some background music ''ta ta ta'', which made me uncomfortable and annoyed. With the noise I could't concentrate on my books. However,I really didn't want to kill them. But they definitely disturbed me, I took the beater to let them fly out of my room.

At last, I closed the window to avoid these bugs flew into my room again.

The winter sun

The winter sun shone on my shadow,
which reflected on the ground floor.
I stepped on it and unremitingly walked.
Let my heart freezed by the relentless wind .
The goal in front of me was so far to go.
I reached me hand as far as I could.
Trying to grasp something unknown and incertitude.

The gray walls around me were so cold and tall,
imprisining me in it with my spirit and body all.
The feeling of tired and weary growed.

I am totally swallowed by the endless tests and reports.
There was a voice in my mind yelled:
I need a break,
Give me a space to breath!

A swallow frew cross th sky,
it frew freely and high.
Maybe someday I could be like that swallow,
achieve my dream and have a certain goal.

The tough weather in Chung Geng

picture from:http://blog.xuite.net/amanna/test/4493700?ctype=List

The weather become colder and colder recently. I extremely miss the warm and bright of sun. The raining day makes me feel upset and lackadaisical. Although I come from Hsinchu it doesn't mean that I don't afraid of winter. On the contrary, it always difficult to me to live in such a tough climate. Before attending to Chung Geng University, I was so innocent that I thought the climate in Linkou won't be as cold as in Hsinchu. At that time, I even felt very happy that I could finally leave the cloudy, wet, cold weather in Hsinchu. However, it seemed that I was totally wrong. The weather in Chung Geng is not better than the place I growed but even worse. To fighting for the severe winter, I brought all of my coats even an electric blanket. I really think that the electric blanket is a essential stuff in winter, although both my roommates all screamed and said that I was exaggerated the cold of the winter. Moreover, the stiff wind in Linkou is another problem to me.Until now I had already had two broken umbrellas which were blown by the strong wind. I have no courage to think about how cold it will be when raining with wind blowing in winter times. Perhaps there still have some benefits of this unpleasant weather. For the rare appearence of the sun, it decrease the chance to become black by basked in the sun. And we can now save our sun block.

An embarrassed thing

There was an embarrassed thing happened to me last Sunday. I had my both my legs spam. It was really hurt at that moment, but I didn't think too much about that thing. I just neglected that problem on my legs. Then after two days I astonished found that my left leg became swelled. Here came to some problems that I really had difficult to climbed up the stairs and the speed I walked also getting slower than usually. This also quit influenced my emotion because it was uncomfortable to walked in such a slow speed and my classmates had to waited for me after few steps again and again. In this situation, I couldn't had chat with my friends since I always walked far behind them. However, I felt a great immense gratitude to my friends for their patience waiting for me and helping me in my day life. Maybe I really should thought things on the bright side or this might be a blessing in disguise.

May and August

picture from:http://global.yesasia.com/b5/prdDept.aspx/code-c/section-videos/pid-1002444411
I saw a movie this morning which was really touched my heart. The name of this movie was''May and August'' which was directed by Raymond To in Hong Kong. It's a movie about the war-the massacre in Nanjing which happened in China in December of 1973. The major characters were two sisters who's names were May and August. They were lived happily with her parents in Nanjing. However, the outbroke of the war totally destroyed their lives. May's father was killed by the Japaneses and her mother also sacrificed for protected of them. May had to took up the big responsibility of taking care of her younger sister. After some difficult days, May's uncle found the two sisters. He bought them away form the Refugee camp and moved to another city to lived with him. Unfortunately, the city they moved with their uncle was quickly controlled by Japaneses. May's uncle was killed by bombing. The two sisters were left behind again and they had to learn to be strong to face all the upcoming challenges in this difficulty situation. There were so many movies talking about the massacre in Nanjing, however, this was a movie inquired this cruel historical event in the aspect of child. There were tears fulled on my face while seeing May was forced to left her mother behind and ran away. It was so scared and helpless while hearing the screaming of her mother in back of her. The strengthen she behaved after losing her parents also moved my heart. But the stronger she showed the deeper of helpless was appeared. I thought that this movie wanted to tell the audiences the horrible and cruel of wars and the hurt of one's heart even families. The screen which impressed me the most was the last screen of the whole movie. It was said that parents were all killed by guns and bombs and their corpses were burned by fire. The ashes were blowed to the sky by wind then falled to the ground by rain and finally flowed into the Long River. So the children who lost their parents and relatives were all stood by the Long River, they yelled and said goodbye to their parents. The sorrowful music and the yelling of children let the movie ended at the circling around sorrow.

My super Dad

After Before

The winter is coming, not only we human feel cold but some insects such as mosquitoes also come into rooms to get some warm. Due to the becoming cold weather, the number of mosquitoes rise gradually.These little bugs are very annoying that always disturbe my sleepy time.Because of bothering of mosquitoes, my father suggested hang a mosquito net over my bed.However,there are no nails on the wall to hang the net on.So we went to a shoppingmall picking out and buying the suitable nails.But the curved part of all kinds of nails were too short, it would be unable to bind the strings on it to hang the net up.At that time, my amazing father figured a ridiculous way to solve this problem.That is, using a nipper to bend the hoop. All of us(mom, younger sister and I) all thought that it was an impossible work. Nevertheless, he really did it. I had no choice but to admit that my father's well talent handiwork.

Just let me go home

pictures from:http://blog.xuite.net.tw/amanna/test/4493700

I felt really upset tonight after I came back from the camping of welcome the newscomers. Because of feeling annoyed and impatience. I began crazy about doing houseworks to distract my attention. Although I got really dirty in my closthes and body, I still knelt on the floor and mopping it. Not only felt very tired, there were also many papers and tests waiting for me. All the things to me made me feel a great pressure. The most important cause me felt upset was that I didn't go home this weeken. I am a person love my family very much. When I first moved into the dormitory, the whole new life let me felt uncomfortable. I did a lot of effort to adapt my college life. But all the things had already reached my critical point. I missed the life that I didn't have to wash my clothes(by my hands) and the time my mom yelled at me while seeing my messy room. Perhapes it was kind of childish and spineless, I lied on my bed and cried stealthily. At that time, all I thought was ''Just let me go home!!''

My direct senior

''Hello! I'm your direct senior.'' a loud and clear voice siad to me just wnen I made the first step into my new dormitory. This was the first time I met my direct senior. As a freshman, it's really hard to get used to my whole new life in the college. It's the first time I left my home so long to lived with classmates together. I had to deal with all the trifles in my every day life.And I also had to learn to take care of myself. At the time thinking of this, I truely felt that my tears were going to fall down. ''Have you eaten your dinner?'' just when I felt so lonely in my room, I reach the phone call from my direct senior. It's like a warm current flowed into my heart. I felt really happy that my direct senior was so care about me.
She is now the vice president of student dormitory committee. I think she is very competent to take the good balance between exteracurricular activities and school works. Actually, I adore her for the passion and vitality she toward to life. In comparison with her, I am too shy and quiet in the crowd. I often think that I really lack of vigor in my life. The three years of the hard senior high school life made me forget how to get along with others and the happiness of relax. It's so normal to me to go to study after school. I can't find any passion and yearn for student clubs. Although I signed my name in the member list of the chorus. I felt lazy to have practice with others members. All I want to do is staying inside and having studying or reading. Going and searching the bookstores is the only habbit I leave. If we have a bookstore searching club someday, it would be extremely willing to me to participate.

Nodame Cantabile

(Nodame Cantabile)

I went back to Hsinchu few days ago to have moon festival with my family. At that night, we went to a great Japanese restaurant to have our dinner. After our happy dinner time, we went to the shoppingmall having a walk and digesting the meal we just eaten. I was attracted by the department of CDs after walking few steps in the mall.''Hey! You must like this.'' My father called me and gave me one music album. It's a music album of ''Nodame Cantabile''.It recorded many classical music in these three CD albums. I wanted to buy it at the first sight I saw it in the store. However, the cost was too expensive to me, so I just picked it up then put it back sadly. At that time I could't believe that my father willing to buy these CDs to me. He used to unlike to spend money on things like that.

''Rhapsody in Blue'' which composed by Gershwin is the composition I like the most among these music albums. By useing the horn as the main instrument during the music, it created atmosphere of humor and funny. It even added the element of jazz which made the music brisker. I listen to this composition whenever I have a bad mood and it can always cure my hurted heart.
