Happy Teacher's Day and Moon Festival :D

Well I got more cards and presents yesterday and I felt grateful. In fact I told students not to give me anything—this is my job and I do get paid already. I don’t think there is a need to give me gifts, but maybe people in this country still pay teachers a rather higher respect. I don’t know. :P Since I never went abroad to study, no idea if students in other countries would do so too. Teachers there have the same high social status also? I learned earlier that guys in Taiwan think the # 1 choice as picking up their wives is concerned is—not surprising, teachers. *chuckles* no wonder I never worry. :P However, my advice is: if a guy would like to pursue a teacher, he had better be intelligent enough and always keep update with this high tech world. Otherwise, it’s really boring to talk with a guy who has poor knowledge, and worse, that he is only good at making a great brag of his ability. *chuckles* I don’t think I am very wise or what…but it’s always interesting to learn something new and know about trendy stuff. That’s why I can talk with teens at school about Internet affairs, movies, pop songs, fashions and so on.

Here in Taiwan, most of my good friends are from the same educational world, and somehow I would like to, and I did try to, make friends from other fields. I think maybe they can teach me something different; that’s the reason I knew the guys—the real estate agent, the architect, and the Scorpio guy who works in a bank, via the Net. Well…I found they are quite boring. Once I asked the choir master, who studied in the U.S. before and got her master degree and now she is still active in teaching music here in Taipei, how come I find it’s easier and more fun to talk with friends who are also teachers. She replied me easily: well because they ( not teachers ) don’t read or keep up studying. That’s why it is so difficult for me to build up friendship with some people. I guess. Even a guy from a channel, in which I am a regular, talks silly—he is to get his PHD soon can you believe it. We have an idiom here for such guys: man2 nao3 jin1 chong2. Well, in English, the direct translation is: his brain is full of sperm only. Sorry if it doesn’t sound elegant at all. :P A bit rude, but to the point. I wonder what kind of girl will fall in love with this PHD-to-be. LOL~ Anyway I don’t care about that. :P

Oh my dad got some brand-named mooncakes—it’s Tian1 Ren2! In fact this company is well known for its tea leaves. And now they make some tea-flavored mooncakes. Too bad I cannot have any since they are not vegetarian. So…can only had some fun taking pictures. Anyway…after my silly monologue, I hope everything is fine with all my good friends here in Taiwan, and my lovely friends Yuppy and Kenny in OZ. 祝大家心想事成! :D
