First buffet with ETs

Been busy since my boss from Teaching Department asked me to be the head of all English teachers at my school. *chuckles* Well I don’t really mind working hard, but hope my colleagues can cooperate. Sure nothing is perfect in this world—some people just don’t wanna be good. What makes it worse is they wouldn’t even ask me in order to figure out. That’s why I understand human nature better…hehe the higher your position becomes, the greater hatred your opponents obtain. However, I still work for all of them, and today, I had a welcome party at a vegetarian restaurant. Our school master and my boss were present. There are 3 new ETs in my school, including P, who I mentioned before on my blog. She looked cheerful and happily greeted me while in the restaurant…good girl. I wouldn’t like to see her get hurt again by contact her ex or anyone from her ex’s family. They were never meant to be…from the very beginning. How come worry about a relationship that doesn’t work out? Find another guy!

Talking about relationships, another friend of mine has a big problem recently. Erm…maybe not a ‘big’ one, I don’t know. Maybe you can leave me a message and tell me if it is a serious one. The girl M has been seeing a guy for several months—he was attracted to her and started the courtship. He is not rich, but is good to M in many ways, in the beginning. Of course you have to spend some money while dating a girl. Gradually he mentioned he doesn’t make a lot of money, and suggested M they should split the bill when they went out. Even worse, he said he would give M a hand since there’s something wrong with her pc. You might say, hey ain’t it great. But he told M to shout him at least 10 meals when they are together. =_= Hmm… after I heard this, I truly had no idea what went wrong nowadays. Men are all like this now? I thought they are willing to treat girls while dating. Don’t they wanna make a good impression? Or they stop being generous after they know their girls have fallen deeply enough?

Thus, I guess I am not in a hurry to settle down with a man at all. M’s been nice to her man—she did spend ( I don’t know how much already ) money on him. That guy never introduced her to his friends, so their relationship is still “safe”—no need to tell others or explain about anything if they break up. Being a friend, I think I can only act like just what I did for P. Ahh…I don’t mind shouting P or M when they need friendship! *smiles*

Wish P good luck

Today is the second day of this new semester…school started yesterday. We had some new English teachers here—as a matter of fact they are substitute teachers, who are like casuals in other companies. And one on practical training, whose nick is P. She will have to follow an experienced formal teacher ( not me, but another colleague of mine) and learn how to teach students and make them behave. Since we worked together for the English summer camp during this summer break, she’s taken me as an older sister ( or another mom maybe…urm I think too much hahaha. )

P left me a message on my desk this morning, telling me she gotta talk with me. Later on she came and said she had a big problem and was afraid she would cry while talking about it. I didn’t think it was a good idea to talk in my office then—many teachers were around. So we left for another quiet place at school, and I listened to her story. Pretty soon she cried like a baby…I didn’t exaggerate…*sighs* She did feel very bad because the guy she’s seen for around 1 year told her a few days ago he would break up with her after he got fired. He’s been working in a café as a waiter since he graduated from a univ. Well…must say it is not a new story. Many couples break up in this world every day. Therefore, it is still heartbreaking because it is her first love.

What could I do? Just be a good listener, and advised her not to meet that guy again. She previously wanna do so—to get her book back and tell the guy how sad and uncomfortable she feels. I said NO. Don’t need to tear the heart once again this way. A book doesn’t cost much. Don’t send sms. Don’t call him! The only thing P needs to do is forget about the guy who doesn’t want her any longer and move on as fast as she can. Yes…and find a guy who is into her first, wanna build a relationship up, and chase her. It is fated to break up once the guy feels the girl loves him too much, never a challenge for him. I enjoy being chased by guys…and really it is stupid to “choke” the man I want with too much loving care right? *grins*

P has to realize this—her b/f, soon her ex I must say… has been giving her hints that he doesn’t really love her during the “courtship”. Easy to tell, but she loves him too much to see it through. So sorry for her. We females gotta remember: Never chase guys. Fall in love with those who love us more and we are really crazy about. P is a nice girl…and she is lucky to have such a good “big sister” like me—I don't wanna be another mom of hers... Do hope she can be fine asap after crying for that guy. Think bright, move on, and finally get a wonderful Mr. Right!

Tasty stuff


OK...my favorite topic. It is traditional Korean food--fried rice on the left and some BBQ ( vegetables and niangao though since I am a vegetarian...) They always have spicy paocai on the table, but I didn't get any. Posted by Picasa

Korean House Villiage


Many traditional Korean houses. They look like ancient Chinese ones don't they. Posted by Picasa

Do you know them


They said the characters are famous. And the local tour guide told us many Japanese obasans stood on the stone to be near the man...posing like they were to kiss the guy in that big poster...Ahh no I would not. ( I don't think korean guys are better...) Posted by Picasa

We need freedom


Took a trip to Korea, and I was on the Bridge of Freedom, where you can see bunches of flags behind me. It is near the northern Korea...hehehe. Posted by Picasa

Shopping in Shaoguan


Shaoguan is a big city in Guangdong, where you can see many stores and I do think it is just like Taipei.The only difference is prices there are surely lower--a cup of pearl milk tea only costs 1 RMB, you know. Posted by Picasa

In front of the old stage


Overseas Chinese Town:

Located in the western part of the special economic zone, Overseas Chinese Town embraces the theme parks of Splendid China, the China Folk Culture Villages, Window of the World and Happy Valley. The parks feature a wide variety of replicas of natural scenery and historical architecture, reflecting the essence of traditional Chinese and international culture. The area serves as a model for the city in urban planning, construction and horticulture. Posted by Picasa

Met my good old friend

Went meet a friend from the states yesterday. She is my
old friend...we knew each other back to our high school
days. She married an American man, who's tall and
strong, looks like he can protect her well. *smiles* I
am happy for her. So my friend came back to visit her
family here and would stay for 2 months. One more
important mission for her is she has to go to Taichung
to learn 'qi gong' and get some therapy because she
would like to bear children. Hmm her body's not strong
enough yet...anyway, wish her good luck!

I took her to a vegetarian restaurant, hehe of course my
treat. And she was real surprised to see the buffet
there--never seen one in the states before. *chuckles*
Americans enjoy having big steaks ain't them. That's why
I always say NO when friends suggest me to find a
western guy. Veggie food in Taiwan is not only popular
but delicious. Not expensive as well. To be concluded, I
would get a Taiwanese b/f here. *girns*

Paid 5200NT for Justy

看完三集超心裡能力者,覺得這漫畫主題沒什麼新意,一些有超
能力者專辦警察解決不了的超自然案件。不過呢,畫風走美少年
路線...等一下,我喜歡的是成熟男人,所以我不要說"很好看"
,說"還不錯"好了,啊,頹廢的日子好愉快啊...

今天送愛車Justy去保養了,驗車的季節來臨,花錢是免不了滴
,有時想乾脆不要開算了,但是,颳風下大雨時,又覺得有輛小
車車代步真幸福。不過啊,我這樣還比不過我妹,她不學開車的
,每次有人問她時她就說:我好命啊,總是有人載我!想想也是
,搭Taxi就不必定期加油修理什麼的,更不需煩惱停車問題,嗯
...哈哈,我大概還是會自己開車啦!

一定感到十分欣慰吧!呵呵,的確是個受教的好學生...

因為放暑假了,我目前都沒課,不過在暑期輔導前,好像也閒不

2 happy events

今天有值得高興的兩件事!
1.去光華商場把外接盒修好了。其實呢,是幾天前買了一個新的
硬碟,然後花了470元買個ZYNET的外接盒,當然本小姐不會組裝
,只好麻煩店裡的小弟,我是說工程師啦,幫我組合好,開開心
心地帶回家備份資料啦!只是有個小問題,怎麼常常讀不到?原
來裡面有個地方,拍謝我忘了那叫什麼,居然斷掉了!唉才新買
的,幸好另一位工程師修好了,他說換了個新的頭給我,回來試
試終於可正常讀取囉。也多謝又陪我去還請我吃MOS的朋友!

2.下午沒課,和全世界最好的游泳教練去練習蛙式,基本上我是
從小對水就有恐懼感的人啊!開始學游泳是我高中時,我們的女
中規定,沒游過學校裡的泳池25公尺不及格,畢業前一定要游過
,口烏...而且要游自由式,就可以想像本小姐的痛苦了。我那
偉大的教練連哄帶騙,拉著就快要在池中哭出來的我一趟又一趟
的練習,終於,雖然達不到教練說的:中途不要停!一路游到那
一端!至少也三分之二了,呵呵...在英明睿智的教練領導下,
今年夏天我一定會成功滴!

Want someone gorgeous

Hotter and hotter these days...gotta turn AC on in the
early morning otherwise I can't even start working. Ahh
I don't complain anymore since I can enjoy cool air in
the office. Going to move to another office--this time I
will stay on the 3rd floor for 1 year. Well...maybe
easier to keep fit, you know. When my office is on the
fifth floor, I just take the lift. *sighs* No wonder
it's harder to keep fit.

As for my work, I am going to hold an English camp for
my school. The most interesting is we are to ask some
American teacher to take over--let students enjoy the
'western look'. I told the clerk who is responsible for
this case, 'please find us a gorgeous guy!' *winks*
Looking forward to meeting our American teacher...

What a busy day!

Three events for today...quite a busy Monday I must say.

1. Some teacher ( Mr. Lee ) put a sticky board under my
desk in the office, and I was real stunned to find a
mouse on it this morning! Luckily my colleague, another
teacher ( Mr. Huang ) was in the office too. I didn't
scream but ran away ( ok in fact I didn't run but
walked. ) He was nice to help...move the dying little
creature away.

2. Went for a meeting this afternoon with my little boss
( Big boss was too busy to go. ) They would like us to
have an English camp. On the way to our school, I
suddenly saw a friend of mine taking the escalator at
one MRT station. Hah I left my little boss alone, took
off, and called the friend loudly while I was taking the
same escalator. So fun to see the facial expression of
my friend's! We talked happily for a while and waved
goodbye at Taipei Main Station.

3. IRCed with a friend from an American server. He just
broke up with his g/f and felt bad. Of course I
comforted him for a while and encourage him to move on.
He joked how come I didn't want to accept him and move
to the states. *chuckles* I really don't think it's a
good idea to find my true love in this cyber world.
Guess the best way is to find it IRL. *winks* My
American friend agreed with me, but he still asked me
not to rule him out. I wouldn't, since he has beautiful
blue eyes.

鹿港辜家舊宅


This big house is owned by a very rich and famous family
in Taiwan. I was in the garden. In back of me was a
small pond--I think it's about 'feng shui' ( wind and
water ) and then they can get more and more fortune. Posted by Picasa

In Lugang


Took a trip with colleagues to Zhanghua for 3 days. No
classes now, so I got some free time to have fun. The
city we visited is Lugang, which is well-known for
temples. The photo was taken at one, where people came
to pray for wealth. There are big ancient Chinese coins
on the little 'hill'. And the statue beside my feet is
kids pull a cart. The cargo? Of course money. hehe I
know we all wanna be rich! Posted by Picasa

Wider, my eyes!

Real tired...yeah my students in the 9th grade graduated already. No classes for me to teach now. How come I am this tired? Hehe of course I still have other work to do, like the lesson plans for next semester, and persuade my boss to let new students use another English magazine--to help them improve their listening comprehension.

In addition to my work at school, I went swimming this afternoon after a very boring meeting. Heh I cannot swim well, but it doesn't matter. I still had lots of fun playing in the water. The best part was, you know, when I finished shower and shampoo, sat comfortably in a chair outside the bathroom, and used a hair drier to dry my wet hair, some nice person reminded me that the hair drier was there to dry people feet... @_@ good. How come I didn't see the notice there!

Famous people!


I took a trip to Zhanghua and played in the sea happily. Happened to meet another English teacher, the well-known Tony Chen, and a TV star Tang Lin. See how cheerful we were! Posted by Picasa

Not I wanna stay up

難得啊...現在是3點,清晨三點喔!我居然沒在睡覺,還一邊聊天一邊BLOG,真閒不是嗎?呵呵沒關係!明天不用上班,本小姐不怕啦!假如是平時那就完了,睡不好只有帶著熊貓眼去上課,眼影還得畫成煙燻妝...LOL~

其實真正的原因是肚子餓了,當然這種時候沒人理我,最好也不要有人理我啦,免得被嚇到,被招待吃了豐盛的大餐,然後早上醒來嘴巴裡全都是泥土這種...只好放棄出門吃東西的念頭,乖乖去找冰箱的蘇打餅。雨下的又多又大,明天我還要送修手機,唉...看來又只好照我媽說的原則,雨天要穿裙子出門比較方便。

肚子塞了餅乾,血糖升高一點,總算有點睡意了...

To be the leader of ETs

My boss from the Teaching Department at my school asked to see me yesterday morning. Of course my break time, and no, not that there would be any affair going to happen. My boss is a woman too, pretty smart, with great capabilities. I was wondering what she would like to meet me though...as I answered her call in my office. Anyway gotta proceeded to her office and then we had a 'big' talk. Her intention was to make me the leader of the ETs here. =_=" Ahh. We just had a meeting last Mon afternoon and voted. My boss told me the teacher, Ms. Chang, who we voted to be our leader, had met her a few times, crying and begging her to find another teacher to take over the position. Thus my boss accepted her request and she thought I was the right one...

Mr. Battery-II

不會吧!這太誇張了...將筆電電池拿去鼎鼎有名的 Mr. Battery,才知道不管能不能修,嘿嘿,都要先收300元檢測費!這是什麼道理啊...當然我這個柔弱的小女子別無選擇,乖乖交出三張百元大鈔,唉,我去買化妝品時都給它先試一試,檢測看看顏色合不合再決定是否購買,人家也不用花半毛錢... *泣...*請不要告訴我是因為我忘了和櫃臺的"ㄙㄞ ㄋㄞ"拋媚眼,而你們通通都省下這300元的檢測費了啊!~>_<~

Saturday, June 03, 2006

Mr. Battery

看起來天氣不錯!等下和朋友出去逛街吃飯,呵呵,還要
拿筆電的電池去修理,不知道修電池要花多少錢...唉,電
腦這種東西真是無底洞,想想,我們女人買衣服鞋子,買
了就這筆錢,不會又要升級,又要加裝什麼配備,別說是
壞了得花錢修理...所以男人雖不血拼首飾化妝品,不見得
比我們女人少花費呢是吧!

Finished the Hospital

Finished reading the novel. I wondered if I have
read it before...since I could 'predict' what
would happened after Dr. Su met the social manager
Judy. *chuckles* Really interesting the story is.

Friday, a rainy day. My little car is wet again
because of the leaking problem. A few days ago
there was a small pond under my seat. Gotta use an
old bath towel to soak the water. Some friend
suggested I should go purchase a 'new' car, which
is second-hand as well but still in a good
condition. Hmm...I still don't think I would spend
money buying one though.

Gotta sleep more

eah! Another month. I feel a bit better today.
Didn't do anything fun yesterday since I fell
sick...*sighs* Too bad, the weather was fine on
Dragon's Festival! There were some contests but I
was too weak to go watch them. Spent most of the
time lying on the bed, and weird enough, you know,
I still had the strong feeling of hunger! I think
many patients wouldn't feel hungry while they were
in bed sleeping all day long. *shrugs* Maybe it
depends. Maybe my body would like more nutrition.

I started to read the novel "The Hospital" written
by Hou Wenyong. Hehe our president's son-in-law is
a doctor, and some people said the events happened
these days are just like those described in this
novel. Worth reading ain't it.

A lesson to learn

Happened to meet the principal...and I regret that
I turned down the offer--our principal would give
me a vegetarian rice dumpling. *sighs* I was so
immature! Really should have accepted it happily,
and then I could give one made by my mom to return
the favor. =_= I must remember this lesson.

By the way I gotta say these days we teachers and
students have the most relaxing school time since
the first CBT is over. In class we read novels and
comic books; one boy student even brought a COMPAQ
notebook! I went over to take a look...too bad not
able to come online in the classroom. A good friend
of mine lent me some books written by Hou Wenyong-
-in case I feel too bored at school. *chuckles*
Pretty grateful I am...and I wish the friend good
luck--good health, good fortune as well!

My breakfast!


I had a bao zi and a rice dumpling for breakfast...yummy! :D Posted by Picasa

Being worried

學生考完第一次基測囉!現在我們上課就大多在自習,也
鼓勵大家帶課外書來打發"晨光悅讀"的時間,打牌下棋則
不許可,真遺憾。不過校長主任有他們的考量,我們當導
師也就配合著囉,以免巡堂被抓有麻煩。

昨天在考場和家長聊天,談到台灣許多工廠都移出去,孩
子未來就業搞不好都要去中國大陸,深感無奈。這家長是
做冷氣的,假如去大陸應該生意也不賴,小孩高職就念個
相關的科系,自動控制什麼的啊,以後當老闆賣冷氣給我
記得算便宜些...哈開玩笑的。

這幾天新聞多是陳家和趙家如何運用權勢關係,而達成迅
速致富的境界,相信全台灣人民各有感嘆。我自己身在教
育界,對於這些貪吃到不知稍微遮掩,明目張膽的行徑,
我好憂心台灣下一代的未來。第一線教書的人,更該振作
精神...*自我鼓勵中*

Good to change her mind

Previously my mom wouldn't agree to make us rice
dumplings. "It is very troublesome! If you guys
wanna have rice dumplings, you just go get some at
the stalls!!" OK...we dared not say anything
against my mom, our queen at home, who can twist a
roach's head off by hand. She said it is dirty to
smash a roach with our slipper or some book. Easier
when hygiene is concerned. Sure, sure...We want our
heads of course.

However, I am eating a pretty nice rice dumpling
made by my mom, hmm so tasty! What changed her
mind? I asked her. She said she would like to make
some for her good friend, so she 'shuen bian' made
some for the family. *sobs* It's so kind of her.
And we are lucky for my mom has a very good friend.
That's why I don't need to order any vegetarian
rice dumplings from the stalls; there are quite a
few in our fridge! Yeah! I hope you guys can have
some nice ones too by the Dragon Festival.

My notebook's broken!

上完第三節後我回到辦公室,看到桌上有一根螺絲釘,咦
我不是教工藝的嗎,怎麼會有這種零件,再仔細一看,唉
呦不得了啦,我的筆電左邊承軸,就是螢幕連著的地方破
掉了...*泣*明明上一節課還好好的在書桌上,才45分鐘
不見,發生了什麼事啊!我猜有人不小心把它摔壞了,也
許是學生在上課中來辦公室幫老師拿東西,然後...也不
敢向我承認啦,幸好還能用,目前拿來打字上網還OK。自
我安慰一下:也好啦,破掉的筆電更沒有人偷吧!*

Don't use it wrong

Our president's son-in-law has been into big
trouble which is related to the stock market. He
and his parents are all involved. Furthermore, our
president used a saying wrong--the phrase qing zhu
nan shu (罄竹難書) should be used for something
wrong, some negative events. But our minister of
the Education Department defended Mr. Chen by
saying we can use the above phrase in a postive
way. Of courst...NOT. Our Chinese teachers never
agree with that. Don't you think it's wiser to
admit that we made a mistake and then correct it.
I believe such people would be more popular and
respectable. That's why I am worried about the
future of our kids sometimes, you now, since they
watch what those stupid officers have said and
done then learn from them.

談完令人憂心的國家大事,就來說說近來發生的趣事。本
週末要學測囉!真是...我當年聯考時導師在哪裡啊,為
什麼現在學生考試全體國三導師要到?孩子的家長才需要
來陪考吧!怎麼推給老師呢真奇怪,坦白說我們去也幫不
上忙,什麼你說幫忙他們訂便當?誰敢啊!哈哈,萬一小
朋友肚子痛了影響考試成果導師賠不起好不好。有個男生
才寶咧,突然來問我老師妳有沒有油性筆,就是黑色奇異
筆啦,我問他你要幹嘛?他拿出一把小扇子說,老師妳幫
我簽名在這個扇子上面,學測時我要帶去搧。哇咧...加
持啊!

Mistakes

打開電視看新聞才知現在台東多一處熱門觀光景點啦!還
有趙家的小朋友童言童語,也堂堂出現在台開案的相關報
導中,大概台灣的口味真的太多樣了,什麼花邊都來。

這個週末豔陽高照,街上人來人往好多在逛,呵呵為什麼
我知道,大概是我也是在血拼中...*偷笑* 其實沒買什麼
啦,反而是在書店鬧了一個笑話:和朋友進了某家書城,
發現某出版社的書打折,比拿貴賓卡的折扣還多的多呢!
我想自己家附近不也有家KINGSTONG嗎!就問小姐:請問是
不是每家KINGSTONE都有這個打折的活動呢?小姐臉上三條
線:我們這裡又不是KINGSTONG...我也三條線...旁邊的朋
友希望不認識我吧...後來我說:喂這家書店真的很像
KINGSTONE對不對,朋友回我:哪裡像啊!唉 =_=

Get well

Hah there was another affair these days--a guy
whose name is Chang Kuei went dating a woman at a
motel in Banqiao. Photos were taken, and he told
the journalists he was there 'tan gong shi' (
talking about business. ) Finally we know motels
have an extra function hehehe. My students and I
all agree that the most pitiful character in such a
story is the wife. She always has to stand out and
announce she believes her husband NEVER had affairs
with other women. Poor wives.

This morning it was a bit rainy yet sunny as well.
Weird ain't it. As soon as I was in the office, 2
students of mine came tell me to see the rainbow.
Wow I was surprised! The rainbow looked so near and
huge! A pretty amazing scene...too bad I did not
have a good digi cam to take a pic of it.

Anyway today is Fri; I had a cold a few days ago,
and thanks God I get well soon. Hope my friend can
feel much better today too. By the way, I did sit-
ups before sleeping--10 this time.

Wednesday, May 17, 2006

Started to do sit-ups

體重是降了,朋友仍好心地提出雕塑身材的建議,唉我又
不當模特兒,幹嘛那麼美啊!教育界有需要雕塑身材嗎各
位!好吧就算為了健康,昨天晚上我仍是聽朋友的話,努
力做了,呵呵,6下,不簡單吧,6下仰臥起坐,然後腹肌
就好痛,沒辦法我真是四體不勤五穀不分的好女人呀!*嘆
*

珍珠颱風來囉,學生只關心能不能放假,*咳咳*事實上我
也好不到哪兒去,不過我更關心吃的夠不夠,這個吃全素
的最怕鬧飢荒,沒吃飽血糖一低就完了,輕者情緒低落,
重則...算了不提也罷,哈哈,反正和我熟的都見識過...

最近新聞就兩件比較吸引我的注意,方小姐的老公于先生
劈腿被抓,外遇說她還要做人,當然啊,于先生名氣也不
是小到大家不知道他有老婆,今天有勇氣招惹有婦之夫的
女人,就要承擔接下來的後果嗎!希望不是光外遇的那一
位要做人,通通都要好好做人啦!感情沒什麼對錯,我認
為,不喜歡了也就是不喜歡了沒錯,錯是在一方不坦然,
耽誤了原本的另一半。所以方小姐早點知道也好安排後半
的人生,不然等到七老八十了,要再尋覓春天可沒那麼多
機會啦!

還有台開案,哇那麼好,短短幾個月賺8百萬台幣...我的
朋友們和我都忍不住想,有內線才好玩股票,像我們這種
沒後台,沒人報明牌的,只好乖乖拿薪水吧,否則大多是
虧本滴。嗯,看來玩股票真是一門學問喔!

Being sick

今天仍然在"破病"中,反正我堅持不看醫生滴,多喝水多
休息就對了,也很感謝關心我的好朋友前來探病,其實很
快就會好。最近是壓力極大沒錯,學生下個週末就要學測
了,學校又要求國三導師趕快交一堆成績,品德啦評語等
等,所以可稱之為內憂外患的5月,然後天氣近來不穩定,
過敏發作的就更厲害了,啊...忍耐吧!

Exhausted

What an exhausting Monday...seems I had not been this
tired for a long time until today. Maybe it resulted
from my sickness? Got a sore throat yesterday;
shouldn't have eaten that iced durian bought by my
mom I guess. Anyway, I will be fine sooon as long as
I get enough water and rest. Hehe some friend used to
tell me to see a doc when I was ill. Thanks...but I
just don't wanna enter a hospital because of catching
a cold. Well I had better go hit my pillow earlier
tonight and hope everything will be fine asap.

A visit

And the weekend is fun too. Two of my ex-students
called me last night asking if they could come over
to my place to pay me a visit. Sure. Heh not all of
my students can see me like this, you know. Only
those who are good, cute, polite, and considerate.
Otherwise I would tell them I am too busy to meet
them--it's torturing if I still have to see
students who I don't really like after work right.
Anyway QQ ( a boy student ) and Pony ( a girl )
came; I shouted them milk tea and had a small talk
for about 2 hours, sharing with each other what we
do recently, what friends we have made since their
graduation in 2003, etc. Time flies...hehe. I told
them it's time to leave as I saw the time's past 10
p.m. Brilliant kids...welcome to my place next
time.

Call it an amusing week. On Thur afternoon I went to Keelung to have a nice buffet at Evergrren Laurel Hotel with colleagues. Of course it's a special occasion--a math teacher is going to retire this summer. Woo she can live on a nice pension in the future and enjoy herself...no need to yell at naughty teens anymore. How I envy her...but I am still too young, you know. This picture's taken at the lobby; the jar beside me costs around NT$100,000. Posted by Picasa

Dead tired

太可怕了,今天...開了6個鐘頭3個會,我快累掛了,真的,寧願
去上6節課,也不要開這些會啊!*泣...*~>.<~

比較好玩的是有人送花來,夏天花比較不耐,我趕快加水把花插
起來。好辛苦的一天,看來我得早點去休息,明天還要和同事去
基隆呢!^_^

A day without my celly

Well I forgot to bring along my cell phone to work.
*chuckles* ended up there were 11 missed calls as I
checked it at home this early evening. It's a sign of my
poor memory, or just my carelessness, or...both? hahaha I
bet you'd say 'both'!

Still 19 days to go, you know, for students to take the
BCT. They are getting more nervous, I mean some of them;
the others are still relaxing--read comic books during
break time. Hmm when I was to take the entrance exam (
yeah ages ago ), I truly didn't have such free time for
comics books or novels...hehe thanks God no tests for me
anymore! I can read as much as I want! Watching anime and
movies is lots of fun too. I hope I can see Mission
Impossible III, and Da Vinci Code. The latter isn't on
yet in Taiwan. *crossing my fingers* :)

House of Nine Gragons

Went have dinner at Giu Long Ge, of course a vegetarian
restaurant, which means House of Nine Dragons. I've been
there once, ages ago, when some aussie friends came visit
Taipei. Ah I didn't keep in touch with them...no idea how
they are now. Maybe the item's got married. The dishes
are good, especially the soup tastes sweet. So I asked
the owner and she told me they made the soup in some
special way, adding vetetables and sugar cane to the soup
and keeping boiling for a couple of hours. Really...so
troublesome I think. That's why I never think I can be a
good cook. ( Neither do I think I can be a good
wife...Mom said the best way to get a man is through his
stomach or what. *sighs* )

Another funny thing happened the day before yesterday,
Fri evening after we got dinner. On our way home, I found
a roach on the road walking ( or running? not sure :P )
very fast. We passed it and it's very kind of me to warn
my friend, who's definitely afraid of roaches, that
there's a roach nearby. LOL and it did look like the
roach's following us...so you guys can imagine how panic
my friend was...and how naughty I was, 'hey "little
strong" come come here!' hahahaha

555

今天是5月5日星期五耶!學生提醒我的,呵呵忙到昏頭怎麼沒注意到,那買樂透要選5,15,25,35,45,再來個8好了,學生說老師妳這樣簽中了我請妳。我回,什麼那怎麼夠意思,中了頭獎我請全班!後來也沒買,哈我已經很久不買樂透,一張50元也不貴,可是我太懶了。

喔還有一件大事,孩子們拿到准考證囉!最近拿去拜拜的家長一定很多,其實人有時真需要一點好運呢!剛好題本考出來的就是有把握的多好啊!所以我告訴學生們,信主的就多祈禱,其他的就照家裡習慣的方式,希望全班都平安順利!

Bad luck >.<

最近是不是因為氣候不佳,不少同事或同事的小孩生病,食物中
毒住院的都出現了,前天還是大前天吧,眼皮跳個不停,真是,
看鏡子裡我自己的臉都好笑,左眼跳完跳右眼,右眼跳了再換到
左眼,拜託...怎麼不兩隻眼皮一起來跳嗎!結果應驗了有跳必有
事,還牽連到一位朋友,我真的真的運氣沒那麼背過!接二連三
的巧合,讓我們同感:上天是覺得我們不夠忙是吧?

終於啊我的眼皮不再跳了,這個月底孩子們也要參加人生的第一
次大考囉!我們這個年紀的叫聯考,現在嗎叫做基本學力測驗,
BCT--basic competence test. 換湯不換藥啦,國英數自然社會
,跟當年差不多,哈哈,我以前國中時最討厭讀的就是英文呢!
沒想到...好像開了一個大玩笑。總之當下最要緊滴就是穩定學生
的心情,讓他們平安度過這場大考,加油!

Not for teachers

In fact many workers didn't need to work today. But we
teachers did. Oh yeah so did our students. No idea why
the gov doesn't wanna let teachers rest...we still have
school on Teacher's Day, you know.

That's so unfair. But I ain't the woman who would keep
complaining about something I cannot change a bit. As for
my job, going well as usual. The second periodical test
is coming soon. And the manga I am into these days, up to
vol. 21! The weather's sunny and hot, so we all turned on
the air con and right now I am enjoying the coolness at
home. *a big smile*

A little bad luck

星期五太開心,星期六呢就出狀況要破財,唉我的臉都垮了,出
去時開始都笑不出來,朋友就用手把我的臉頰往上推,真
是...@_@ 嘿嘿多謝啦!其實我這種頭腦簡單的女人很好應付,只
要讓我吃一頓好的,血糖一高什麼都OK啦!(學生想考試少一點可
以用這招,哈哈,還好這裡沒有我的學生吧!)

今天和昨天一樣是個溫暖的晴天,應該不會下雨,反正等下還是
要和朋友出去走走吃飯,呵呵,台北好吃的素菜餐廳不少,感
恩...然後再繼續努力看獵人!

happy 3

Got 3 happy events for today. The first is I can use the
printer in my office now. hah I even talked with a friend
via skype this morning, trying to figure out what went
wrong. I even sent screen shots, but still couldn't work.
Finally I took his wise advice--proceeded to the Teaching
Apartment and reported this problem. A while later a guy
who taught science came over and made the setting for me.
Done. My friend is right; in fact it's very easy to set
the printer...but I am so bad at computers. *grins*

The second is I had a break this afternoon. Oh time to
get a new cell phone at the Chunghwa Telecom! Customers
just need to agree that they will use the # for another 2
years, and they can purchase a new cell phone there at a
lower price! Now I got a new OKWAP...yeah! Although some
friends told me OKWAP is NOT the best buy, I want it as
well.

The third is I went had a hot pot for dinner--ahh it's so
nice to have hot pots in a cold and rainy evening with
nice friends. After dinner I spent my beautiful Friday
evening reading manga Hunter x Hunter again. ep. 17 so
far...will read more this weekend. *smiles*

What's wrong with the printer

今天的大事呢就是辦公室的印表機不能用了,我按了好幾次列印
,只聽見機器呼呼的響,一張也沒印出來,真是。我用SKYPE問一
個電腦功力比我好一點的朋友,他建議我把連接電腦和印表機的
電線拔了再插上,重開機試試,我有點顧慮到資訊組來修理時,
同事到時說我有拔過電線,等下有責任麻煩,索性直接報修了。
還是很感謝那位朋友的幫忙,呵呵,我在講SKYPE時有位同事還問
別人,她到底在和誰說話啊!因為不是每個老師都會玩SKYPE啊
MSN之類的,看我對著電腦說話很恐怖吧!其實我也很少用SKYPE,
不過今天想看能不能自行解決這個問題,可惜電腦一直顯示連接
失敗。*泣*

另外一件大事呢,呵呵,是我看完了HUNTER x HUNTER第15集囉!
有個朋友說這故事蠻有趣滴,就借來看看吧!後來我才知道作者
也畫了幽遊白書,哈哈動畫真不錯。他的夫人則是鼎鼎有名,畫
SAILOR MOON的啦!天啊我也看過全套。真不容易啊,在我每天都
忙得要命的情況中,還能看這些有的沒的!說真的實在要歸功於
我工作很有效率,能 to the point,玩的時間就擠得出來啦!還
有不少集待看呢...也同樣感謝告訴我及借我這些有趣作品的好朋
友喔!

Tension

Had a weird dream. I saw myself getting mad at a friend,
and I was throwing things angrily in a room while talking
to him--unlike the gentle me IRL. *giggles* I wouldn't
act that fiercely...neither at work nor at home. Anyway
it's a dream. After I met my colleague in the office this
morning and shared this dream with her, she told me it's
healthy and kind of helped release my tension. Ahh didn't
know I was that nervous and under great pressure! I felt
bad when I was treated unfairly by friends--even I might
pretend to be all right, you know...the true feeling has
been expressed exactly in my dream. *sighs* It is
impossible to lie to myself in the dreams right.

Saw a movie

Went see a movie with friends this Sat. Heh it was sunny
and hot. We took MRT to Ximan and something 'tragic'
happened--were told the movie we wanna see was not on
now! What the...we even checked the night before, the
place and time! That's why my friend was immediately in a
bad mood and I was a bit upset too. Anyway. Being a
optimistist, I never give up. There was a 7-11 nearby,
and I told friends I'd go get a newspaper and check where
we could go watch it today. "When there is a will, there
is a way." I like this saying a lot. Another one that I
like is, "There is no free lunch." I NEVER agree with
those who think they can succeed without working hard. (
Now then you know I am a 100% Capricorn ain't you. ) Some
guys complain they got no girlfriends. *chuckles* The
thing is they don't go meet girls. Even after they have
some chance to know girls, they don't pursue--they don't
spend time and money on dates. They say they are too busy
maybe working or playing games. *sighs* No wonder no
girlfriends. Finally we took MRT again and a bus to the
cinema and watched the movie. Yeah!

Don't just greet me

今天和朋友在MOS吃漢堡時,被不認識的兩位女士叫住,禮貌地和她們打招呼,一面在記憶中拼命搜索,是什麼地方見過的朋友
或家長嗎,坐下小聊一下,原來其中一位是我朋友的乾姊,她就
住在附近,看我走來走去好些次,不過因為沒有介紹她也不好和
我打招呼。另一位呢是她朋友,真是巧,小孩讀我們學校。有句
話說人生何處不相逢,果真如是,反正我既然踏進教育界,就不
可能隱姓埋名啦!吃個飯也有人來交朋友,呵呵,蠻好玩滴。

ps.假如能順便請吃飯更好... >:P

Can wear a short skirt now

Heh it's a bit cloudy today, but good enough...no rain. I
am happy and content with the nice dinner with friends,
of course, at a shabu shabu restaurant. Haha a guy called
me in the meanwhile and he said I was a real 'hot pot
girl.' Hmm don't you think it'd be much better if 'pot'
is left out. Moreover he warned me that I'd be fat if I
keep having lots of hot pots. *falls laughing* Oh it's
very difficult for me to get fat ok. Don't you know I
take exercise very often. Furthermore, I am a vegetarian.
How to get fat if most of the food I have is all kinds of
vegetables. >:D

Thus, friends don't worry about me, who never need to go
on a diet. I have another good news to report. I told you
that I fell on the ground and got some bruises on my legs
this Mon afternoon. It's lighter now, so I can wear a
blue short skirt and look great today. *chuckles* Too bad
I have no date...*sighs* Ah...never mind. Luckily I got
good friends. And one gave me a bag of instant coffee--it
smells so good in the early morning when I make breakfast
in the kitchen. Her birthday's coming...hehehe I would
like to buy her something cute and practical. *grins
evilly* >:P

Fell

哈時間真的好快!四月又過了一半多囉,昨天我不小心滑了一跤
,左腳今天就烏青一塊,和學生講時他們笑得很樂,問我老師旁
邊有沒有很多人,有啊,可惜沒有人幫忙我自己就只好站起來啦
!而且還好現在還算年輕喔,再十年骨質疏鬆,學生喊:那骨折
了吧!呵呵真聰明。同事更好,我把這段不幸的遭遇告訴他們:
我右邊都很OK不過左邊好痛,走路一拐一拐滴,他們回:那不就
像中風嗎!真是有情有義的好朋友啊!>_<

反正天氣溫暖,陽光美得讓我還是要溜出去走走,順便辦點小事
,當然我沒有真的像中風一樣啦!希望烏青趕快好,夏天可是穿
裙子的季節呢!>:D

A relaxing weekend

又冷又下雨的,不知老爸的阿里山之行怎樣,退休後他迷上攝影
,去上課還常跑出拍照,不過我看這幾天是沒得好拍囉!他還勸
我換台數位相機,說SONY七百萬畫數的只要一萬多,一萬二是吧
?我也忘了他說的數字,哈哈,我不是沒錢買啦!只是本小姐真
的蠻迷糊滴,工作的地點是學校,身旁一堆比猴子還皮的青少年
,相機有時要借給他們拍,上次連SD記憶卡都壞了,怪啊...真不
知道他們怎麼拍的。還好現在記憶卡便宜了,以前我買一塊256MB
的SD要2千多呢!嗯我應該來問問看,誰有128或256的SD卡不用便
宜賣給我算了,1G那麼大根本用不到買了也是浪費啊!

Yesterday evening I watched a movie on HBO--Anchor Man-
the Legend Of Ron Burgundy, talking about the old topic
that men and women ain't treated fairly at work in a
funny way. The most interesting scene was the bossy
anchor starred by Will Ferrel stepping onto the tables
and playing the Jazz flute. He was dating his pretty co-
worker and then asked to perform by the owner of the
restaurant. Of course his performance impressed that
pretty girl and the guy easily won her heart. *chuckles*
I guess that's why guys should always learn some 'tricks'
because you'll never know when you'll be dating and need
to show something special to make your dream girl fall
for you right.

Can you do magics? *winks*

A big spider

前幾天早自習時,突然靠牆的那一排有幾個男生都站起來,把桌
子都搬離牆面十幾公分,我在想造反啦,敢擅自行動,他們跟我
說:老師不是啦,有蜘蛛!我走近一看,喔是一隻不算很大的"拉
牙"。這玩意聽說是吃蟑螂滴,樣子嗎看起來的確不討喜,好吧因
為我吃素,平時也盡量不殺生,就叫學生把它移出室外,結果你
猜怎麼著,常和女孩們打情罵俏,喜歡講些俏皮話逗人的男學生
們都躲的遠遠,只有本班內掃股長,平時不出風頭個性內斂的阿
白,靜靜地拿個塑膠桶,把那隻"拉牙"一裝,帶到教室外面放生
去。*cool* ^^b

機會教育,我告訴各位女同學,男生不要看身高臉蛋,真的,男
生還是要好用最重要,長得俊俏在危急時派不上用場,要這種人
當男朋友或老公做什麼呢?就像常有朋友和單身的我說,找男朋
友要找有錢的,哈哈,有錢男人有什麼用啊!要有錢讓我用得到
才有用滴!很多有錢人摳的要死,嫁進去不見得我們女生就用得
到夫家的錢好不好。哈哈,所以呢還是把自己栽培好,有份工作
可以賺錢,然後呢每天打扮的漂漂亮亮滴,開心過日才實在。^_^

ps. 可惜阿白才16歲,唉對我來說太年輕了。

Frightened for a few secs

A sunny day again, and I called the department which is
reponsible for the school's electricity at least 3 times
since we wanna turn on the air con. They really don't
understand it's torturing us, who stay on the highest
floor in this school. Inconsiderate staff...*sighs* yeah
I know such people exist everywhere at work.

Being careless, I scared myself this evening...you know
it's not easy to find a free parking space near my place.
And I parked my Justy near the little park after work.
Then I went out to get some cold drink a while later. On
my way home I passed by the place where I parked Justy
and found no car there. :O MY GOD JUSTY IS TOWED AWAY!
~>_<~

All of a sudden I remember that's NOT the place I parked
my Justy today, but YESTERDAY. LOL~ life is always so
exciting, you see. :P

Sneezed a lot

Not a blue Monday, but I couldn't sleep well last night
since I started to sneeze a lot around 11 p.m. and gotta
use lots of facial tissues...*sobs* fell asleep around 1
a.m. I guess. That's why I didn't sound cheerful in class
at the very beginning, but you know, my students are not
only cute but considerate. They encouraged me and told me
to rest enough and take care. Ahh I feel much better
indeed.

Another thing to report is I went to the school clinic
because I wanna know how much I weigh. Therefore I
stepped onto one scale and I was @_@ ... ok I decided to
stepped onto the other scale there and it said the
same...@_@ weird I didn't go on a diet but I lost some
weight! Hmm...nothing wrong with my appetite;
furthermore, I don't get a lot of exercise ( been lazy
you know.) That means I am a lucky woman--let me have
more yummy stuff then. :P

No event on April Fool

Ahh didn't do anything naughty on April Fool. Previously
I did think about calling friends to inform them: heh
tell ya good news that I'm to get married! But didn't do
so since I'm a bit afraid that friends would come give me
a good kick after they found I just wanna fool them.
*giggles* Students in my class told me today they did
call some of their classmates and make fun of them.
hahaha hey hey don't say: Like teacher like student! I
ain't naughty at all ok. *winks*

We ETs had a meeting with the staff from Let's Talk
English, 2 American teachers and 2 Chinese ones. They
would like to get some feedback after we use their
magazines as a teaching material in addition to our
textbooks. Thus, most of us talked about what we thought
of and discussed with those teachers happily...in
English. *chuckles* In the end we took some pics...I'll
ask the guy to send me, and then you can see my 'yah'
pic. Oh of course I asked them to 'yah' with me. LOL~ ^^V
( like this, and they were so cooperative! )

This week is supposed to be relaxing...no school or work
on Wed. Some of my relatives will be coming, so my family
will be busy for a few days I guess.

Beautiful sunset

多久沒有看見美麗的夕陽了呢?走在路上,心情好好喔!今天晴
天...難得不用上第八節課,我可以在路上晃,看到又大又圓的夕
陽真是感動..說真的,大自然的美景是看不膩的。

下午開了三個鐘頭的會,而且也順利報告完畢了,教學策略還真
多樣呢,校方也送我一本書,一張和教學有關的光碟,還有最好
的,一杯 Starbucks 的 latte,哈哈,校長還在結尾時提到我,
真拍謝,原因是班上有個問題學生,早上校長還講他幾句,然後
快中午時遇到我,當時本小姐沒課,正從外面買了珍珠奶茶回學
校...校長呢就在一樓,我心想這下是要請校長喝一杯還是不用,
然後就一面內心掙扎一面聊起來,最後校長說:這學生給妳添了
很多困擾,很麻煩吧!我回答不會我不覺得,因為我很喜歡教書
這個工作。(雖然錢不太多也不太自由啦!只有寒暑假才能出國,
這點我沒講就是)

氣象局說要到星期五才會再下雨,所以明天又會是美好的晴天!*
快樂期待中... ^_^ *

Being sick

I guess it's because of the weather...got a cold, and
couldn't help sneezing and of course had a running nose
this morning. Then I tried to swap classes with my
colleague so I could be off duty earlier. But failed.
Ended up driving back home to rest for 2 hours this
afternoon after watching kids nap. And drove to school to
teach the 8th session. *chuckles* see, even if I would
give up earning more, the Lord didn't allow me to. Anyway
I put on more clothes and seems I'm getting better. Need
to hit my pillow by 9:30 p.m. though.

Kind of know how come I am getting weak these days--it
happens every month when 'that' is to come. It is the
biggest problem for me ( maybe some other women too ) and
you know we might have serious PMS...yes. No need to tell
me. It's pretty troublesome! Too bad I have to bear with
such for quite a while in my life.

Poor kids

這兩天電視新聞都有播出死亡的消息,一位是舞蹈家羅小姐,死
於肺癌,她的一生精彩,相信在藝術領域永遠都有她的地位。另
外兩位是名不見經傳的男士,一位因被檢方懷疑有殺妻及破壞鐵
軌而上吊,另一位是台鐵剪票員過鐵軌時被撞身亡。他們沒有羅
小姐的名氣,相信新聞播個幾天之後就會永遠把他們遺忘,可是
我卻更同情這兩位的家庭,都是還有年幼孩子的人,叫小朋友們
以後怎麼辦呢?錢就算沒問題拿到一些賠償,他們在成長過程中
會很辛苦。尤其是李先生,太太走了,就應該看在孩子的份上,
怎樣也給他撐下去...我想,那些孩子的級任導師也真...有些東
西是我們老師給不起的。沒有子女的就算了,有了孩子不要輕易
地掛掉啊!生了一定要負責養大,教育界可以幫忙教,沒辦法幫
忙養啊... =_=

A nice boss

To celebrate my getting extra pay today, I went have a hot pot for dinner around 6 p.m. You guys know I am a vegetarian, and so does the boss--I don't even need to tell him what kind of hot pot I would like to get. What made it special for this evening was he said he noticed that I didn't really finish the 'fake meat', which is made of soy beans or mushrooms, every time I ate there. He then suggested he gave me some more vegetables and dried flat tofu instead. Woo I like them both! Ended up eating so much...ahh too full. Didn't even have enough room for ice cream and jelly made of tea! *sighs* Need to get some exercise or cut down snack later on.

My best friend WW is already in Vancouver now. No idea if she has jet lag...hehehe I guess I'll talk to her soon on Skype. Too bad I can't pay her a visit this summer since I plan to visit other countries. Hmm...the weather is not good recently. *chuckles* who cares. I still enjoy the weekend, and hopt you guys do too. ^_^

Extra pay makes my day

雖然下雨,又冷,還是蠻不錯的一天,我終於看到學校的通知,
說寒假輔導費明天入帳。沒錯,你的眼睛沒有問題,寒假早就過
了,現在開學第六週!七早八早跟學生收錢,卻拖拖拉拉才付薪
水給老師,真不乾脆吼!算了,我想,總比有些人工作最後還拿
不到錢強。

昨天我拿垃圾出去倒時,有個同一棟樓的先生比我先倒好,就走
在我面前,然後把大門關起來,我只好請家人再幫我打開,想說
平時同一棟的鄰居都會先看看,如果還有人在倒垃圾就不會關門
,最後一個進來的關是我們的默契。那個先生人怪怪的!有一回
中午我走在路上碰到他,他就要請我一起吃午餐,當然我才不去
!只要老婆在他旁邊他就一句話也沒有,不然都要想盡辦法聊個
幾句,煩...他怎麼樣來煩我都不理他!

我的交友原則是:已婚或有女朋友的男人根本不要碰。要請吃飯
?可以...另一半也來吧!(這招是我爸媽教我的) 今天社會問題
有夠多,單身的我才不想因這些頭腦不清的男人,在社會版多添
一筆爛帳...呵呵。說真的,單身的好男人又不是沒有,就像我朋
友常提的:a lot of fish in the sea. 何必介入別人的關係中
呢?

She's gone

WW left Taipei for Vancouver today. No I don't feel
bad, since I always think it's great to
have friends in other countries, you know. Then I can
have good excuses to go pay my friend in the foreign
country a visit. Her husband is still staying in Taiwan
for serveral days--no worries he can speak a little
Mandarine. I don't need to help him when his wife's not
around then. hehehe :P

As for events at school, we had an exhibition in our
library this afternoon. The best was some pop stars came
and you know what...I didn't recognize them at first.
Students took their cell phones out and started to take
pics, and then I was wondering how come. Finally I found
them--they starred in some well-known series ( ex. 紫禁之
巔 ) and I pretty much liked the handsome boy Jr. That's
why when a colleague suggested she could take a pic of us
I immediately nodded and stood between the 2 gorgeous
guys. Students were so jealous of me!! LOL I will upload
the photo as soon as my colleague emails it to me.

Nice Japanese dishes

昨天去吃日本料理,價格不便宜,但是我的好友及她的加拿大老
公都讚不絕口。明天她就回溫哥華去了,還好現在MSN及SKYPE很
方便,要不然八卦少了她多無聊啊!(可見本人也是蠻無聊滴...)
今天學校很輕鬆,段考進度早上完了,又不用代課,下午有個朋
友來訪,我當然是很高興囉!順便請吃飯,呵呵,我看這陣子吃
吃喝喝又沒什麼運動,要小心穿不了短裙小洋裝啦!

A wonderful reunion

The reunion yesterday was terrific! I met WW at Zhongshan
MRT station and then the other ex-classmates at Danshui.
Our class leader Tina took us to a cool restaurant
located near the Danshui River. Thus we could have lunch
and watched the beautiful scenery in there. They asked WW
how she met her Canadian hubby and how her life is in
Vancouver. She told them the story ( of course I knew
about it ages ago hehehe ) and then everyone thought I
should follow the pattern to find myself a western
husband. :P Interesting. Yeah I know western culture is
more easy-going when it comes to marriage. In Taiwan, if
a girl is to get married, it's like she's going to marry
a whole family ( the future husband's family. ) Life will
be more complicated since the guy's parents and relatives
will bother this couple. Maybe not all of the Taiwanese
here, but most do. That's why I always hear my friends or
colleagues complain about their problems that result from
their 'loving' in-laws' troubling them too much.

That's why I told WW when we were on the MRT after the
happy reunion: we shouldn't bother our offspring a lot
when we get old. We can shout them nice meals if we wanna
see them sometimes, and give them presents ( red
envelopes are our favorite! ) By then we should be rich
enough and are able to live a wonderful life. Both WW and
me work diligently and we don't really need to buy brand
name stuff, like LV bags or Channel cosmetics. Our
attitude is pragmatic toward life--money is very
important. If I can marry a good guy, I will be happy. If
I cannot find a nice guy to get married with, I will
still have a life ( and lots of money hehehe...)

Didn't eat well

My best friend WW's hubby arrived in Taipei today, so I
wanna shout them dinner at a nice veggie restaurant. WW
and me had meals there quite a few times and both of us
enjoyed their dishes--beautiful and delicious. But
something 'tragic' happened this time--WW's hubby is
allergic to food which contains peanuts. He's so sesitive
that he had serious allergy after he got a small piece of
white stuff ( I thought that was tofu, but WW said it's
made of peanuts. ) Ended up he gotta hurried to buy some
medicine and couldn't enjoy most of the dishes in there.
Too bad...most Taiwanese do not have such a problem.
Sometimes we hear people would be terribly sick because
they got some broad beans. Most Taiwanese love
peanuts...good smell, rich in protein and fat, you know.
I felt very sorry for WW's hubby and I told them I would
treat them Japanese meal ( his favorite ) next Monday
evening to compensate for his loss tonight. After he's
getting better we chatted happily ( I didn't speak a lot
of English since he's quite talktive! ) And took some
pictures together. I hope the couple can have a wonderful
time in Taipei these days.

My best friend's back

So happy my best friend ww came back to Taiwan from
Vancouver. I will spend some time hanging out with her
from tomorrow onwards. Gotta shout her a nice meal at the
famous veggie restaurant and then go shopping together.
We will attend a reunion too...great to meet our ex-
classmates again! :D

These days I have more activities since I gotta know some
new friends. Sometimes I feel too busy...@_@ of course
friends are like books, just like the line in a Chinese
book. They bring us different kinds of ideas and make our
lives more interesting. hehehe you agree with me right.
Anyway I had a happy weekend, and I wanna thank my
friends...they are so nice! I wish them all good luck. =^^=

Sweated a lot

Had a wonderful time today. Just like what I said a few days ago...exercise is great for our health both physically and mentally. The side effect is my thighs are weak now...cannot walk too much now. Lucky it's Saturday. I don't feel like exhausting myself on Sunday since I will have no energy to deal with those naughty teens. Talking about work, I got a phone call from school last night. They told me to take over my colleague's duty from next Monday onwards...for 6 days. I was like :O and asked him what went wrong with her. What?? Cannot speak at all since this Friday...@_@ oh my that is the worst condition for teachers! Sure I will help her--it means I will have to OT for 6 days. $_$ good...

拍照

天氣非常好,
孩子們有遠見啊!
昨天表決全班穿短袖滴襯衫,
今天把畢冊的個人生活照拍好了。
導師當然也拍囉!
他們說我今天穿的粉紅色背心很可愛,
謝謝啦!我是覺得笑得有點不自然,
啊不管了,反正主角是那群少男少女。
希望這兩天的天氣都不錯,
要出去走走看看青山呢!

Will be very busy ^_^

The weather's real changeable...in the morning it's cold
and foggy, but sunny and warm this afternoon. Some
students came over to say they thought my purple skirt
was cute, and so were my boots ( rimmed with some fake
fur.) Thanks. But I will have to wear something brighter
tomorrow...since we all gotta be taken pictures for our
school year book. For students' sake, you know...me,
their homeroom teacher, will try my best to look super
pretty! >:D
Moreover I will be very busy this weekend...from Friday
evening onwards. Some friend asked me out and I said ok.
Usually I would sleep not so early on Friday night--no
school next day! On Saturday another friend asked me to
visit a place in Taipei county, where I've never been
there. Free vegetaraian lunch, I must say it is what
attracts me most...*sobs* So easy to allure me? :P

38

今天是38婦女節,雖然沒有放假一天,辦公室的男同事都有祝我
們快樂啦!還有小禮一份,價值不高,心意可貴就是。呵呵,坐
在我隔壁的學姊說她老公還想蒙混過去:婦女節已和兒童節合併
為婦幼節了。但是學姊堅持要過38,那也沒辦法。哈哈,單身的我
就不必了,有人送巧克力倒是不錯...反正我很瘦(別人說的,我
是覺得OK啦!)就趁新鮮把它吃了。 :D~
忙了一整天,還陪問題學生的家長去拜碼頭,好辛苦...但比起寫
中輟報告,我寧願跑一跑和校長及各處室主任談,總算談好了感
謝啊...今天還真累。我要早點休息才行... ZZZzzz

Be treated

A colleague who teaches Chinese shouted me lunch at Stay
Cafe. My veggie meal cost 220 NT...guess it is ok. It's
getting a bit cold, not like yesterday. It was sunny and
hot. We have a slang in Chinese: The weather in spring is
like a step mom's facial expression, which means it
changes very fast. Tomorrow is Women's Day. *sighs* Too
bad we females still have to work. Ah I am used to that.
Hmm feeling a bit sleepy...being busy these days. I need
to sleep earlier.

Had a good time

Had a pretty good sleep last night...maybe because of my
taking enough exercise earlier in the evening. To my
surprise, my headache was gone--yes you can say it again
people need to get exercise to keep healthy! ( both
mentally and physically *nods* ) Besides I had fun
walking around Ximending with some friend, window
shopping only since we didn't buy anything at all. The
most interesting was we found we might be the oldest
customers after we sat down in the restaurant where we
were to have dinner. LOL He said it was possible I would
see students here. I then replied, "They would be scared
to be found by me here...'how come you guys don't stay
home to study for CBT but wander in Ximending huh!' you
know."

It was sunny and warm...a nice Saturday. Today, hmm looks
cloudy. Anyway, wish everyone a wonderful time no matter
where you are.

Got a headache and weird dreams

一早起來就看見陽光,真好!
不過我的頭痛死了,
活該... 昨天晚上太晚睡的代價啦!
誰叫我自己多嘴長舌不早點兒睡,
還做了一堆怪夢...
其中有一段是我被一個男人追趕,
我不知道他是誰,
一張陌生的臉,
他緊追不捨,
甚至到我跑進那棟建築物,
躲到一間女子三溫暖的烤箱裡,
他也只穿一件跑進來... =_=
我躲在門後等他進來再跑出去,
把門用力關上不給他出來...
精彩的動作片啊!@_@
什麼跟什麼嗎...學測快到了,
是工作壓力太大嗎!
我一定要出去走走透透氣才行... *sighs*

烤地瓜

辦公室有個大哥把家裡的鍋寶旋風烤箱帶來,
而且非常勤快的洗刷地瓜放進去烤...
所以我們只出一點小錢買了一袋,
就天天吃又香又甜的烤地瓜囉!
連學生都聞香而來,
"我們也想吃..."
hahahaha >:D
週末又來臨了,
同事上網查氣象,
說明天會開始下雨...
@_@ 真是...

Cold and dry in Taipei

其實還不錯啦!
至少沒下雨,就是冷。
所以呢,等一下中午沒課時,我就要...
呵呵...就要和姊妹團一起去吃火鍋!
平時有打八折,我的素鍋還是要200左右。
為什麼吃青菜的比吃肉的還貴!
真是...算了,還是要吃滴... :D~

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!
