Got a new seal

Feeling a bit dizzy all day...yeah tomorrow is a national
holiday in Taiwan. And we have no school for sure--that's
why students and me couldn't help laughing, even making
some noise in class. But a colleague's mom was sent to
the intensive care unit because of her second apoplexy.
Thus I agreed to take over her duty and went teach the
3rd session, which was supposed to be my tea break. To be
honest, it is very tiring to teach non-stop 4 sessions in
the morning...although one day maybe I will need other
teachers' help too.

This afternoon I went to get some documents at the
Household Registration Office. On my way there I decided
to get a new seal for myself. Heh it is my favorite
color--purple, and looks real cool. I don't think my
friends in foreign countries can understand how come we
need chops for many events in our lives. hehe however it
IS necessary especially when it comes to dealing with our
bank accounts. ( Hah I see questions marks popping up
from friends' faces now...you guys don't need seals when
you enter a bank to withdraw your money right? ) Thanks
goodness I am very lucky...get a nice new seal and
receive the documents in a very short time. ( Some people
told me they gotta wait in lines for several hours...but
I got what I would like in around half an hour or less
this time and last time as I wanna get my new ID. )

It's time to get a new passport. I will proceed to our
Bureau of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs
in the near future and hope I have the same good luck
there! ^_^

New ID

哈...二月又快要結束了，真好！這個月發生很多事的感覺，最有
趣的當然是拿到新身分證啦！為了換證，還特地去拍了照，平時
都有瀏海的我，因新式身分證相片不能擋住額頭，還必須夾起
來...要露耳朵，不准露牙齒，衣服還不能穿白色或太低領，麻煩
的規定不少。千辛萬苦總算是拿到了，結果那相片拍得再美也沒
什麼用--掃瞄的效果你說能多好，整個臉是糊糊滴。老妹說她同
事的更精彩，臉是歪的。反正大家不看身分證來相親..真不知道
那些要求有什麼意義。算了，搞不好沒多久又要改呢！下星期二
放假，要好好利用才行。

Need more energy

A tiring day...since I had 6 sessions. You can imagine I
don't even wanna talk with my family after work. *grins*
Neither do I want to go practice with the choir. Although
I really enjoy singing with those lovely friends, you
know. The choir leader was disappointed when I told him
by phone I wouldn't go tonight. Next week will be better
I think--only 4 sessions for Thursday. I will have more
energy left for the choir.

As for anime, I watched Bleach 60 and 61. Still got 62
and 63 to go...I wish I could have more free time!
Another nice anime is Yakitate Japan...*sobs* I have no
time for around 10 'new' eps yet. I dare not bring those
to school, too bad...otherwise I could watch some during
my break time in the office. ( And got caught by my boss
one day you might say. Hah that's why I wouldn't watch
them there! )

Anyway weekend is coming. Hope I can sleep in...and have
time for playing around.

Got hurt

不喜歡弄傷手指的我，最近卻被割傷，一個是綁考卷的，很硬的
尼龍束帶，我在拆時不小心被割到，另一個是影印文件時，被紙
張割到...*泣*不是第一次了，紙的邊真是鋒利啊！~>_<~

最近都在忙學生的畢業紀念冊，為了讓大家都有美好的回憶，拍
出最佳效果，我還拿我上一屆帶畢業的學生畢冊給全班參考，今
天有個男生寫生活札記時說，老師你以前真是太漂亮了...-_- 我
一定要教育他，這樣對女生說話是不行的！在看我 blog 的朋友
，假如剛好你是男的，你要怎麼說呢？講話，有時真的是需要學
問滴！日後有了心愛的女友，說這種話的下場...呵呵... >:P

Yummy snack

還真快又是星期六，不好意思我違反減重原則，吞下了兩包洋芋
片，沒辦法，厚切奶油口味，怎麼抵擋嗎你說說看你說說看啊！(
豆漿廣告台詞) 而且居然下起大雨...我不管！等一下我要出去逛
逛，最近看到杜鵑盛開，呵呵春天來囉！前陣子去逛了光華，感
覺不大習慣，也許是光線非常明亮的關係，還有，是不是有很多
店不見了？最有趣的是還碰到一位拉保險的朋友，他說來他來找
DVD，嗯...光華是找DVD的好地方嗎？我是沒買什麼東西啦，東看
西看，最有趣的是看到一種軟綿綿的鍵盤，淺藍的，可以捲起來
呢，可惜我家目前用不著，應該價格不貴吧！(忘了問多少錢...)

Lost some weight

I decided to lose some weight at the end of the winter
break, but school clinic was closed that time. Thus I
didn't know about my body weight. By the way I do not
trust the scale at my place. *chuckles* Anyway our school
clinic is open and I went in and told the nurse I wanna
know how much I weighed. She informed me people thought
what the scale said appeared heavier than they weighed
somewhere else! I didn't care...I happily stepped on it.
The nurse came over and took a look for me. LOL~ I did
not even take off my coat! She said whoa you are slender!
So...what, I can have more chocolate and potato chips
now? Nah...summer time is coming. Short dresses and
skirts are waiting for me! *grins*

Go to school happily

開學囉！今天好忙，從早上7點50開導師會議，舉行開學典禮聽一
堆訓話，然後回教室發一堆東西，註冊單成績單什麼的，還有資
源回收宣導，快瘋了...

我隔壁的老師說她女兒都不想開學，我說開學才好，表示往暑假
邁進，沒有開學暑假永遠不會來啊！她聽了就笑，我也是這樣告
訴孩子們，有一個快樂的目標在前面，來上學才有意義嗎！

Gonna work like crazy again

School will start tomorrow. Ahh...a nice winter break. I
had lots of fun during this period of time. But you know
nothing is perfect...some events that made me sad also
happened. I do think it is difficult to change one's
personality. Furthermore, it is very painful to change
our own personalities for others, especially when we are
already old. That's what I experienced recently. We had
better to find the ones who can accept what we are.
Otherwise...life is miserable.

I attended a reunion yesterday, and met some ex-
classmates happily. In fact I am not an active person,
who would contact friends and relatives from time to
time. But I would reply them warmly and agree to meet
them if they invite me to. Not that I never ask others to
come visit me or shout them drinks or meals, but probably
I am more likely introverted...However, we talked about
our school when we all studied in NTNU, laughed a lot,
and learned about each other's life--some got married,
moved to another city and now teach in different schools,
and so on. We were glad to keep in touch again like this
and even made an appointment for next month--since Sheila
will come back from Vancounver then! That will be
fabulous to meet my best friend again...*smiles*

I plan to see the lanterns and have dumplings this
evening! Yes I know I will be very busy from tomorrow
onwards...

得之於人者太多

平時都是我請孩子們吃糖果餅乾，今天有個斯文秀氣的小女生，
早上下課時走進我身邊，遞給我一塊東西要請我吃，我接過來看
：豬腳貢糖，哈，金門來的咧！而且還是素的，呵呵...等會兒配
普洱茶當點心吃。下午下課時我自己班上的Vivian也拿了一桶蛋
捲來請我，可惜成分有蛋，還是很感謝啦！(這樣要怎麼減肥
啊...@_@)

Checking emails is fun...and I found this site
http://home.fujifilm.com/alaska/index.html interesting. I
might not be able to visit that place in my life...many
beautiful pictures in there. I just clicked it and
enjoyed the slide show for a while...hehe. Also got some
funny cartoons forwarded by a friend, which are about the
movie Brokeback Mountian. LOL quite naughty I think. Too
bad I cannot forward this onto my blog ( neither do I
know how to paste cartoons here.) Maybe you'll get them
from your friends too. *grins*

Always nice people around me...*being grateful!*

2000 NT for Justy

Well I have my little car Justy back today, and it cost
me 2000 this time to get it fixed. The price of gasoline
is to soar and I am pondering...ah forget it. It's so
convenient to drive a car to work.

Got 5 sessions for today. I feel a bit better ( still a
headache maybe because of...hehe that. ) My friend gave
me some nice dumplings so I cooked them for dinner. Hmm
not bad. My friend suggested that I should lose some
weight recently and I said ok. It means I wouldn't have
my favorite hot pots for quite a while. LOL~ It is not me
but the owner of that shabu shabu restaurant who will
feel sorry then.

寒輔週

終於，寒假就此告一段落 ＊泣...＊ 因為開始上輔導課了，沒錯
啦是有外快，只是7點多就要開車去學校，有一些小小的不甘
願...

說到車，上次是在路上發不動，結果打電話給修車廠，花了1700
元師傅來幫我換電瓶，要不然就不用開回家了，今天是發現雨刷
罷工，真的，其實還是可以開，不過台北三不五時下雨，想想萬
一雨刷不能用，看不清前面也蠻危險...好吧，就毅然決然送車去
修理保養了。

上課第一天好累喔！很久沒有一口氣上6堂的結果，不過學生們都
很開心，因為我把家裡吃不完的點心糖果帶去，一上課就先抽籤
叫五個人上來，不必回答任何英文問題就給兩顆糖，祝他們新年
快樂，上課中有讀或回答得不錯也是有加分，又有點心，大家都
樂得很呢！

我還告訴他們我下課就要去樓下健康中心量體重，看過年胖了多
少，哈哈一群男生衝的比我快，要看老師到底多重，可惜啊，健
康中心居然沒開！好啦，為了夏天的小洋裝，就稍微，稍微少吃
一點吧！

Enjoying my holidays

Time flies! :O Can't believe it's Friday...and I am gonna
work from the coming Monday. Well, you know, maybe a good
thing for me, since I only spent money on holidays (
mostly for food, transportation. ) After I start
teaching, especially when it is still our winter break,
hehehe I will get some good extra pay. $_$
These 2 days I did pay a visit to some well-known places
in Taipei, National Taiwan Science Education Center,
where I think I can take kids to have fun some other time
in the future. Many interesting exhibitions in there, and
moreover they got 3 D and 4 D movies ( how come it's
called 4 D? @_@ too bad I did not go watch it because I
happened to have another appointment that day, not enough
time for the movie then. )

New Beitou is another good scenery spot, which is pretty
famous for its hot spring. In addition to hot spring
bath, it is also enjoyable to walk on the paths in the
mountains. ( In fact it's quite near Yangmingshan, you
know. ) I saw some beautiful houses, guess people living
in there are very rich. Hah they can have hot spring bath
every day in their bathrooms maybe. The only disadvantage
might be they gotta stand the special smell from hot
spring and lots of visitors hanging out in the
neighborhood. ( yes I am one of them, but hey I ain't a
peeping Tom! )

I also went to the eastern area of Taipei City, and felt
surprised to find several SNG cars parked in front of a
gym, California. After a while I learned it's because
some person died of carbon monoxide poisoning while he's
working out in another gym ( not California ) the day
before yesterday. Thus they had this fire drill in case
there may be similar accidents...but I got the feeling
that they had it just like a show, anyway. What? You are
asking me if I work out in a gym too? LOL of
course...NOT. Not my cup of tea. I am so lazy. That's why
I told some guy who suggested I should go take exercise
to make my figure even better: you just chase any girl
who is hot ok. Don't bug me...I am fine with the way I
look. *smiles*

Later on I'll go see a movie, and enjoy the last relaxing
Friday in this break. Hope you guys have a wonderful day
too!
