Live or Die (Composition Two)

Death penalty is widely used in the world to punish people who commit serious crimes. In most places, criminals are executed for murder, espionage, treason, or military justice. In some other countries, people are executed when they commit sexual crimes, such as rape, adultery, incest or sodomy. Moreover, some religious crimes also lead to death penalty like apostasy in Islamic nations. However, is death penalty really a proper way to punish a criminal? Is it fair to allow a judge to decide whether a person should be alive or dead under the circumstance of not knowing the person’s whole life? Furthermore, if a person dies for his country, such as an espionage, who is going to be responsible of his death? Is it he himself, the country or the executioner?
Death might be fearful but there are much more things in the world that are much grimmer than death. To punish a criminal is to let the person regret what he or she had done or understand what he or she did is not right. However, how can a dead person feel regretful? Death penalty can only satisfy the victims’ resentful feelings toward the criminal but it can’t change things that already happened or really solve the problem. Life sentence with no parole will be a proper way to make a person suffer suffered and to reflect upon his or her wrong doing. There are many ways to make the criminals understand the pain, agony, or grief they caused for the victims. Letting them suffer the similar pain will probably be more powerful than death penalty. Death penalty might be the quickest way to get rid of the problem but it is not the best way to solve the problem.
No one has the right to deprive people of their living rights. The murderer did that because he committed a crime. However, if people give the right for people to execute the criminals, people make them murderers and also make them carry the needless guilt. The criminals deserve punishment but people also have the right to live. The murderers took people’s lives, and so, they should be deprived freedom! Using death penalty as a punishment can only create another innocent murderer but changes nothing. Furthermore, if people ask who is going to take the responsibility of the murderer’s death, the judge might work onto another and say it’s the executioner did it and the executioner might say it’s the judge’s decision. To prevent all these unnecessary arguments, death penalty is not the best way to punish the criminals.
Killing people is not legally allowed under the normal circumstances because people should respect lives. The same situations and crimes might have different outcomes when it happened in different countries, such as apostasy in religious world. In the Islamic world, the person will be executed but in different religions, the consequence might not be that serious. Moreover, some people might be innocent but once they died, they have no opportunity to prove it wrong. The fairness of the sentence will be a big problem when it comes to the death penalty. For example, should spies be sentenced to death? Offering the right for the country to kill someone is full of potential problems of justice and fairness and they won’t be solved until we stop the death penalty.
People should respect the lives in the world. Everyone has the right to live because nature grants it. People don’t know if the death penalty can be a good punishment for the criminals because they are already dead. It can only ease the grief and the resentfulness the criminals caused. Also, the responsibilities of the criminal’s lives and the fairness of the judgment are all tough problems. And if we have better ways to punish the criminals and solve all the problems by stopping the death penalty, why should it exist?

Truth (Cpmposition one)

What I want to define is not the truth of an event, a thing or some specific phenomena in the society. It is a subjective topic, and with different backgrounds, genders, professions, or even ages, the idea of truth changes. What I try to define is the truth of life to figure out what truth is and finding the truth of life.
There are many ways to give definitions to different aspects of truth. Philosophers explain this word in very practical ways. In correspondence theory, it emphasizes on the connection between true beliefs, true statement and the actual affairs. The relationship between thoughts or statements and things or objects is the main idea of this theory. This is the traditional model of truth which can date back to ancient Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. There is also an aphorism advocating this theory written by a thirteenth-century philosopher Thomas Aquinas,’’ Truth is the equation of thing and intellect.’’ This is the explanation of ancient people at that time. It may be suitable for explaining what truth is but it’s not proper to define what truth is in life. Life is not an event, a thing or merely an object. The truth of life is the fountain of peace and tranquility and of course there is no equation that can solve the problem between life and truth.
The word ’’truth’’ in Middle English not only means a fact, a belief or an idea held to be true. It attaches to the moral aspect rather than the practical aspect.“Troth- that is, faith pledged by one’s word and owed to a lord, a spouse, or anyone who puts someone else under obligation.” This is the definition of truth in Middle English, the loyalty to someone whom the people cared about and loved. However, without this truth, one might be seen as a traitor, and dishonor himself or herself and also disgrace his or her own family. At that time this is the most important characteristic of truth in their lives because the honor to the country, to themselves and to their family is the priority and it is even more important than their lives. However, the background, the generation and the cultural effects are all different now. Nowadays, people care more about themselves than before and the centers of our lives are more to us than to the country or the loyalty to someone, so the definition of truth is no longer the same.
There is no equation to solve the problem between truth and life because it is not a proposition. The truth of life is no longer the obligation to someone like middle age. It’s more about our own life and more about us. During the discussion about this topic with my friend, we both reached the agreement that truth is the eternity of our lives and deeply believe that it will never change. Time changes, people change but truth will stand still. Furthermore, the truth in our mind will never get affected by anything. Where the truth is, the heart is also there. Nevertheless, the truth in everyone’s life is different. It depends on the backgrounds, the cultural experiences, the genders or the ages. But one thing is for sure; once people find their own truth, it will last forever. We have to find the truth in our lives so that we can get peaceful hearts and eternal tranquility in our lives.
The definition of truth is the eternity of the unchangeable quality and the unbreakable stability in people’s mind. There is no specific answer to the question what the truth is, but there is a specific definition of it. However, despite of all the different answers given by different people, the basic elements of the truth are the same.

(This is the discussion between one of my Australian friends and I. During the process, he conveys something that he wanted me to know, to find the truth in my life. To find something that is eternal and lasting forever. This eternal happiness can not be found by any other person. It is already in people’s mind and they just have to find it. To find the truth, we have to explore it and it is more about experiences than listening. Knowing is knowledge. Action and experience are wisdom. Happiness is just a state of mind. It can not last forever. It can only last for a moment.)

The end of this semester..

This is my first semester after I turn to twenty years old. I learn a lot and also think much more about my future career. From all the objective points, it's really not easy to achieve my goal and I am also expecting the tough junior and senior years.
I have to enrich myself.

Knowing the art of being a woman is important. The way a girl walk, speak, behave, smile, laugh, or even think decide what she will be. A happy girl knows how to manage all these to make herself happy and confident.

I learn, learn , and learn, learn how to get better and better and happy.
That's what it matters!!!!!!!!

In the end of this semester, I hope I can do a good job of my final~~~~~~~~

Simple wish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!but a little bit hard to carry out.

Take care of myself~~~~~~

Today, I went to the doctor and I think I have to start taking it more seriously. The doctor gave me a list about the food that I can't eat and SHOULD eat. Sadly, all the fruits that I love most are not allowed to eat. Well...... I think from now on, whenever I saw the fruits, there will be an angel and a demon appearing on my shoulder.

I used to eat whatever I want. Maybe, it's time to change it and do really take care of myself, otherwise, there will be more problems after I become thirty.
I will follow what the doctor told me and take the medicine according the doctor's instruction.

This weekend I have four days off from school and it's good and relaxing. I can't wait for my summer vacation. Somehow, people get lazy so easily and can hardly become diligent. I spend my weekend on working, watching series, reading novels, and study some Japaneses. I think it's also the time to prepare for my test.

Tough June~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No money, happiness, and leisure time but a bunch of pressure of the final~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Unknown

Sometimes, I was busy in planing the future and I forget to taste the surprise of the unknown.

Life is full of surprise and excitement. This is what my best friend told me.
He always asks that'Don't you think so?'
I hardly agree with him before but recently I think maybe he is right and I start to accept this saying and try to figure out and experience the true meaning of it.

Leisurely Sunday~~~~~~~

I almost forget when is the last time that my Sunday is so free that I can do everything I want slowly.
In this week, I have some fresh thoughts and new opinion about things.

Sometimes, it's hard to let go something you cherished very much but deep inside, you know you will finally get through it. It's just a problem of time. However, the process causes pain and suffering. It's time to let go, to lose even though it's painful.

Sometimes, we care so much about the future that we forget we live in NOW. I've busy in planing my future and I forget to taste the surprise of the unknown. There is no definitely prediction in people's lives, but fear, anticipation, anxiety and curiosity push us to explore the future.

Sometimes, people insist on things they think it's important, however, when everything is over and you turn back to reflect upon the past, you are not sure about it's worth or not. I don't call it regret.

Well... maybe I don't know what am I talking about.

Crazily busy week~~~~~ New Experience

This Friday, I changed my hair style and I like it!!!!!
No matter how people said, I think this is a big change of me and I am glad that I step out.
This week was really busy, too!!!!!!!!
A looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo of homework, presentations, and tests.
Well..... I I think midterm is not the most terrible things in the world.
But I still try really hard to keep my schedule.
I cleaned me room, wrote the blog, prepared for my presentations and ,memorized my Japanese vocabularies.

Wow!!!! it's a mazing that I can finished so many things within few hours. I think next thing I have to arrange my time more properly, otherwise, I will be definitely crazy.


Welcome my new hair style and welcome my new week.
I hope everything will be perfectly fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crazily busy week~~~~~ New Experience

Tough Week!!!

This is a tough week because I don't feel very comfortable. I get dizzy sometimes and I do think that I need rest. I stayed at home after I worked and had a lot of sleep and finally, I feel better now.
I think I do really have to take care of myself, otherwise. with a miserable condition of health, I can do nothing.
Exercising do really help. I went jogging last night and I feel great after that. I think I should raise this habit to keep my body healthy and fit.



Recently, I always think of stupid things that I did with my best friend. For example, I went to his house one day and I bought two cups of green tea, one for him and one for me. After I paid, I forgot to take the green tea with me and I went up stairs. It's not until I was int the elevator did I remember that I left the green tea in the store. I asked him to go down stairs with me and took the beverages. Because he lent his key to his friend, we had to go up ninth floor by feet. We stood in front of the stairs and bet who can reached the ninth floor first. We discussed for a good while because the one who lost had to suffer from the other's scratching for twenty seconds. While we are discussing, one man came and I suddenly realize that we can ask the man to help us get to the ninth floor by elevator so we asked him for help and the man said yes and keep laughing at us because our discussion. HAHAHA!!!!!
Whenever I think of this incident, I always laughed because it's really funny and stupid.

Anyway, it's good to keep something happy in mind~~~~~~~~~~

I wan to say Thank you !!!

Thank you, Rick. You are right; I think I spent too much time thinking about how people see me and think about me and it makes me quite not myself recently.
Be yourself again, Janer.
Try not to care so many trivial things and life would be happier.
Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyways. It's good to be me.

The midterms ended. I feel GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can do whatever I want to now.
I can read without pressure.
I can draw without pressure.
I can earn money without pressure.
I can watch series without pressure. I can go out without pressure.
I can go shopping without pressure.
What a beautiful life~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's gooooooooooooooooood to be care-free.

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I want to be?

I have been thinking about a lot of question about my life recently. What kind of girl I want to be. What kind of future attract me best? Is it good to take things from someone else even though they are willing to or don't mind?
One thing for sure, I want to be happy and content with what I already have.
Well... the midterms are going to end and so far, this is the only thing make me feel crazily happy.
I really enjoy my life because I can do almost everything I want to but something is wrong recently. I am changing and I don't know it's good or bad. I am satisfied with my life. However, sometimes I think I am not acting properly. People changed when people around them changed. When people see me in a different way compared to before, it makes me feel complicated. However, I made up my mind. No matter how people treat me or see me, I just have to be myself and I don't have to change anything unless it's a shortcoming.
I hope I can be polite to people even though he or she is a rude person.
I have to be humble even though I meet a person always likes to show off.
If someone did something to me that makes me feel uncomfortable, first, I have to think if I did it to other people, too before.
I hope I can be really thoughtful to those people who care about me.
Every week, I exam myself to see if I did things right but sometimes people are blind. I wish all the friend of mine can tell me whenever I did something wrong.

Rainy day

I don't like rainy day when I have to go out!!!!!!!!!! However, I like rainy day when I can stay at home~~~~~~~ HAHA!!!

Many things happened recently. I feel happy but worried, too.
People around me change and I don't know if it's good or not.
I hope I can always feel happy.
I hope people will not want to get anything from me and just want to be my friend.
I hope I can always remain positive and humble.
I hope I can speak less and listen more.
I hope I can be confident but not proud.
I hope my parents will not be worried about me.
I hope I can bring happiness to those I love.
I hope my days can always be busy and meaningful.
I hope I can do a good job on all of my tests.
Finally, I hope I can carry out all these hopes~~~~~~~~~~~~HAHA!!!!1


What can be more important than living happily ever after?

Being alone~~~~

I don't know why but I am quite enjoy the time when I was alone. Walking on the street, staying at home, or having dinner or lunch a lone. I used to be alone when I was in senior high school. It didn't mean that I didn't have friends. I had some really good friends but sometimes I just felt that when one had to wait for another one, it wasted time and I can use the time to study. Maybe it is because of the busy working life alert me to fine more time to study and I have to control my time.
It's not a bad thing. In this way, I can have more time to think and concentrate on my study.However, I love my friend too so I save some time for my friend and hoping that my friend can forgive my ''alone behavior''.

I got my salary today and I am quite happy and satisfied. A huge plan is waiting for the money. HAHA!!!

I have been thinking a lot recently; thinking about my days of being young. I don't want to waste it and I don't went to regret it when I am old. I am young and it's perfectly good to be young. I can never been too satisfied about my currant circumstances. I am tired about happy. I worried about money but I am earning money. I worried about my homework but I am studying. Being happy is not there is no difficulties or problems in my life; being happy is one can solve any problem in his or her life. Well... I can't imagine a life without trouble and difficulties. It must be very terrible.

April~~~~

A new month again~~~~ I think I'd better start to make a plan to schedual this new month. Don't want to work as hard as last month but put more emphasise on my study.


First I have to finish my novels and English literature.
I also want to go out and visit some places with my best friend.
One more important thing, I also have to find a tutoring job this month to help me earn more money.
And I also have to finish one essay this month.
Oh~~~~~~ and my tiring anf terrible midterm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This wan't be a easy month.
I also hope that I can do more excersice this week.
One thing flashes into my head; I have to take a GEPT test this month.


Well.... It seems that this month will be very tiring, too. Since when I become such a busy person that I don't even have time to take a breath.

The end of March!!

This is a tiring month and I am glad that it finally comes to the end. I earned a lot of money this month and I also did a lot of things that I have to do.
Every thing went on and on~~~~~~~~ It seemed that I can never finish them and life goes on!! I feel a little bit tired but life goes on and on~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think I will find the way out because I am still feel happy and energetic. I am Janer and Janer has to always face the bright side no matter what happened. If I want to carry out my dream, I have to solve every problem that appear to me. I hope I can become better and better and I also hope that I believe that I will become better and better. In this way, ever thing will turn out to be fine.
''Do not examine everything and every person in my life'' I told myself to remember this and then it will be easier to let go something and forgive people. I hope I can be a good adviser and a good friend. I don't want to make people feel stressful and I can't ask everyone to do exactly everything that I think it's right even though it's right. I can tell them but I can't ask them to do that because that's their life and not mine. The only thing I can do is do the best to be the person I want to be. Don't examine everything and everyone in my life and it will make it easier to let go things and forgive people~~~~~~~~

Plan...

I was used to making plans before I do everything, study, prepare for the tests, how to carry on my life etc...

I love to live a life with disciplines, order, tidiness and most important of all proper freedom. I don't like to be bound and don't like to be told to do something.

But after I go into college, I rarely really make a plan before I do anything. So many things distract my attention. Especially when I was a fresh man, I don't even know what I am doing and what should I do but now I do.

''Turn over a new leaf'', I always like this expression to show a kind if new life. I always LIKE!!! Now, I EXPERIENCE it!!! One day, when I am really 50 years old and recall all the memories of young age, I know there will no regrets left (when life offer you a dream so far beyond any of your expectation, it's not reasonable to grief when it comes to the end.)because I know I am always content and happy.

It's not to find out that being young is such a wonderful thing but sometimes people don't cherish it or don't know they have to cherish it. I am happy that I experience this feeling last Christmas. I think this is the best gift I've ever got. Sincerely, Thank God!!! Now, I know I have to take advantage of it and no more time wasted!!!!!!


Enjoy every pieces of my life, always see the bright side, and live with happiness, peace and truth.

Life~~~~

Today, I find that I have to do a lot of things this week!! I think I will die this week. I have to prepare for the exhibition next Monday and the representitive sent me all the information today. A lot of things to read, to think, to write...
I think this will be a bee week. For the essay, there are many topics to write. So many choices. What is truth? What is love? What is life? What is a good husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, or wife? There are so many things that we have to give it a definition. I want to know what truth is. I think this will be my essay topic. It's difficult. But I think I am glad to take a risk. If I succeed, I know at my this age, what is truth for me and I can figure out many problems by solving this one.
I had ever discuss this topic with my friend for several times and we both reach some agreements. I think I will put it into the essay.
And then I have to prepare something for my application!!!!!!!!!!
I have to study English literature!!!!!!!
I have to read Wide Sargasso Sea!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to work!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to clean my room!!!!!!!!!!
Oh!!!!!!!!!!! So many things I have to do that it really drives me crazy.
I have no time to read Twilight.
I have no time to study some brands background which I want to do lone time ago.
I have no time to sleep well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Well.. no matter what I will try my best to complete everything I want to.
Because I AM JANER!!!!!!!!!!

New experiences!!

Recently, I have been through a lot of things that I had never experienced before. But most of them, I forgot!! I only remember some special ones. The day before yesterday, I went to my friend's home to visit the other friend's dog and after that day, I also want to have a dog so badly but I am too busy to raise a dog. I think he or she will die because I have no time to feed them. HA HA!!! So I think I have to reconsider it.
Today is the first time for me to ride a motorcycle in a rainy day. It makes me feel dangerous but I think I am OK with that.
Busy in running around is me recent life and sometimes I will stop to think that why I am so busy? And then I find the answer: desire!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I keep bushing myself to get what I want, everything I want. It's encouraging but it's also tired and dangerous because sometimes people will lose themselves during the process. I think I have to calm down for several days to schedule what I have to do, what I wan most and what is the most important not just spend my time on some trivial things....

New start~~~~~~

During the whole winter vacation, I was busy in earning money and burning money. What can I say about this? I do really have save a little money but not as much as I want. I have been working for two months already and I like my job and I like those children even though sometimes they really annoyed me. I love my life although I am very very busy.
Do I love my Mom? Yes, I do!
Do I love my sister? Yes, I do!
Do I love my brother? Yes, very much!
Do I love my Dad? I guess I do!
Do I love my aunts? Yes, pretty much!
Do I love my uncles? Yes, I do like them.
Do I love my friends? Yes, and I hope we can always be.
Do I love my life? Yes, without any doubt!!!
Do I love appreciate everything I own? Yes, because I am afraid that I will lose them one day.
Do I ah have to complain God is unfair to me? No, I think he is really generous.
I live my life with a faith, a faith that I believe as long as I keep my heart straight, everything will be fine and with a happy ending. When life offers you a dream far beyond any of your expectation, it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end. Recently, I am deeply moved by this sentence. Yeah!! It's right. My life did really offers me a dream far beyond any of my expectation. Since it's far beyond my expectation, everything comes to me become so fresh and touched because these are all I had never been through before. It brings passion into my life and to everything I own. What I am saying is not a story about a boy falls in love with a girl or something like that, it's about how people can suddenly even a little bit realize that what life is and what is the really important thing during the time that I can breathe. Many things can't stand the test of time especially the brightest things, however, the brightest things always are those things people want most. What will happen if a person who doesn't care about the time, he just want to catch the most beautiful scene in life? Nothing is definitely right or wrong. People always chase the truth they believe. But, then comes the question. What is truth?
In the Middle age.
Troth(Truth) -that is, faith pledged by one's word and owed to the lord , a spouse, or anyone who puts someone else under an obligation.
What is the truth for me? What is the truth for now this age?
The most big problem what is truth?
Is it Trust, Reality, Ubiquity, True, Hope~~~ TRUTH?
It sounds like I am going crazy again~~~~~~~~~
ANYWAY....





The wise man must be patient, must never be too hot-hearted, not too hasty of speech, nor too fearful, nor too glad, nor too greedy for wealth, nor never too eager to boast before he has thought clearly.

Busy Days~~~~

Chinese new year is around the corner and it has bee a while since last time I wrote something on my blog. Recently, I have been really busy but happy, too. I miss all my classmates and I hope I can go to school tomorrow to see everyone!!!!
This is the first winter vacation which makes feel like I am an adult and I can decide everything by myself. I am 20 years old now and this is an important age for me. I have a good job which I am fond of it very much and I can make decisions by myself without caring what other people think. I know it may not be a good thing but sometimes I just felt that I spent too much time worrying about how other people think. Because of this, I lose myself, the real me. I don't like it that way cus it makes me feel terrible. But little by little, I know something I did is right and it really does good for me. Sometimes, I just spend too much time getting parents' support and forget to be the real me and just do it. This time, I made it and I don't think they are right!!! Now, I just wanna be me, Janer, the real me and make my own decisions and take responsibilities by myself no matter what cus I am tired of catering to anyone!!!

Orz Boyz

Orz Boyz

      Movies are the epitomes of our daily life, great imagination, history or societies because they can show people how human beings live, think, do or function in our societies. Furthermore, movies can vividly present the specific background, age, or some events happened in the past time so that people watching them can experience the feelings and know what exactly happened, like Orz boyz. The plot, background and the characters in this movie present many ideas that the director want to express.

     The plot of this movie is the story between two children whose names are No.1 and No.2. The two boys were very naughty and did plenty of bad things at school such as cheating their classmates of their money or didn’t follow the teacher’s instruction. No.1 and No.2 were good friends when they were little kids and there were many extraordinary notions and ideas in their minds. For instance, they believed that the huge electric fan could bring them to the different world where all the people would become adults and didn't have to do any homework. Moreover, they also believed that the statue at the school would move at night. They played together, took care of each other, and saved money together to carry out their dreams. The second main part of this movie is about the courage of No.1 and No.2. They cherished the friendship and both of them tried their best to protect this relationship in their own ways. Therefore, they learned how to sacrifice and how important their friendship is for each other. No.1 tried to rob the robot which No.2 liked very much for No.2 so as to make him happy and win No.2's forgiveness. However, No.2 went to the theme park to carry out No.1's dream after No.1's leaving. Orz boyz is the epitome of their childhood, the presentation of their friendship and the proof of their courage.

     This story happened in a typical town in Taiwan where were full of many friendly old people and the levels of education among them were not very high. Therefore, the way that No.2's grandmother taught him was according to her own experience. If the child did anything wrong or refused to obey the commands, he should be punished. The most important thing is No.2 had not lived with his parents since he was a little child and he saw how his uncle left his cousin to his grandmother just like the way his parents left him. Under all these backgrounds and conditions, he had to endure and learn more about the adult world. On the other hand, No.1 lived with his father who suffered from mental disorder. Therefore, No.1 had to take care of his father and himself. No.1 loved his father even though his father had mental problems. For children, that's a naive age which is full of hope and the only thing they have to care is whether they can get what they want. For example, No.2 would do everything No.1 asked him to because of the key ring such as a silly dance or imitating the dog's bark. The background of this movie show people where they grow up, how they grow up and why they always insisted on what they want to do.

     No.1 and No.2 are the main characters in this movie and both of them have their own personalities; No.1 is optimistic, brave, and smart and No.2 is stubborn, naive, and naughty. No.1 was the leader among them and he would tell No.2 many extraordinary things like the different world where people would all become adults and didn't have to do homework anymore. However, No.2 believed everything No.1 said and followed him to do everything. They are just like a person with his shadow. No.1 is the person and No.2 is the shadow. For most of the time, they do everything together unless it is dark or the person walk to the place where is under the shadow and all these conditions are just like the little quarrels between them. They have the courage and the perseverance to do whatever they want. They collected cans to exchange for money so they could go to the theme park together. In this movie, they both reveal the truest part of children, the funniest part of children's notions, and the greatest part of childhood.

     This is an interesting movie no matter the characters, main plot, or the backgrounds. This movie records their childhood and also reminds people of their own childhood when they watch this movie. Many dialogues in this movie are really funny and can make people laugh. Through the combination of all these, this movie is presented in a funny, touching and inspiring way. After seeing this movie, I think I'd better slow down and let the courage of my childhood catches up me so that I can achieve my goal.  

Days in Australia

Days in Australia

     I have yearned for going to Australia for seven years. Finally, in this summer vacation, I had an opportunity to visit the beautiful country. I went to Australia not only as a tourist but also as a person to experience the real life there. I spent two months and eighteen days in Australia. Throughout these days, memories in Australia are the best part of my life.

    People in Australia live a really regular life. The shops open at eight or nine o’clock in the morning and close at five o’clock in the afternoon except in the city or on Thursday. Thursday is the day that office workers get their salaries so the shopping center will close later for them to buy things they need. If people want to go shopping, they have to follow the time. Whereas in Taiwan, people can buy anything they want at anytime. After the shops are closed, most people go home to enjoy their family time. I remember that I once went home from the train station after all the stores were closed and there were very few people on the street. It was just like ten p.m. in Taiwan. However, this is never going to happen in Taiwan. From Monday to Friday, people live regular lives. They work, go shopping, and spend time with their friends and family, but when holidays or weekends come, people there always have plans to visit some famous places, explore the nature or go out have fun with friends, which is the most popular activity among college students in Australia.  

     It’s amazing that the traffic condition in Australia is ten times better than that in Taiwan. During the time I lived there, I found almost all drivers in Australia followed traffic rules. On the first day I arrived, I saw cars coming out from the other road when we were driving home from the airport. I worried the cars would bump into us but they always stopped when they have to. Little by little, I got used to it and realized that it was far safer than to drive in Taiwan. The way people get a license in Australia is very different from Taiwan and I think that’s the reason why the drive more safely and respect lives more than we do. People have to first get a learner license and put a card showed L on their car. After a period of time, people have to join another test to get red P cards and remain using the red one for one year. After one year, people have to join another test for green P cards. After holding the green one for two years, people can obtain full licenses without any test. Furthermore, the different kind of cards has different kind of limitation in the driving speed on the highway. The procedures of getting a license in Australia are organized to ensure the safety of both the drivers and other pedestrians. The roads there are also wide, flat and very smooth for the drives to drive. People there rarely run over the red light or keep driving when there are people crossing the street. Australian people do show their respect to their country and obeying the rules. This is the greatest part of Australian.

     Australia is a big continent so everything is so wide, big and it made me feel good. During the days I lived there, I observed the natures and found out that it was really a good place for people to live. The rainy day in Australia is really different from Taiwan. The rain fell down silently and people rarely sense it is raining unless they go out. There are also many beautiful flowers growing along the roads in winter and they are like those in the flower shops, blooming and colorful. The grass is green in all seasons; the air in Australia is always very fresh and the sky there is so much wider than Taiwan. During the sunny, there are always many people lying down on the grass to enjoy the sunshine at the park. Mountains, beaches, bays, stores, house or streets there are all beautiful, special and full of their own styles. It is a place full of beauty and memories which I will never forget.

     This was the first time I went abroad and I was really happy and excited about it. The regular life, friendly people, organized rules and beautiful views there attracted me so much that I wish I could stay forever in that wonderful country. Throughout the two months and eighteen days in Australia, I have many beautiful memories and do really enjoy the time. 

Final~~~~~~~~~~

The final exams is coming. It does really drive me crazy and mad, but anyway, I have to do my best as usual~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

I haven't felt stressful and nervous for a long time, but now I have to work at a English cram school and I do really live a busy and crazy day. The blank of income in my life will not be ZERO anymore. I feel great and good although it's a little bit tired~~~~ I have a lot of fun of my job and I think I will stick on it.

However, the most important thing now is my final exams, I hope that I can sleep before 3 tonight!!!!!!! I am looking forward to my winter vacation~~~~~~~ Oh! Oh!!!!! I wish that today is 2009/1/16!!!!!!! Anyway, it is impossible so I think I'd better face the music and embrace my English Literature.................. BYE~~~~BYE~~~~~~

Oh!!! and the top picture is my favorite plant, Dandelion. No reason, I just want to put it on my blog.

Sun Moon Lake pictures!!

My final day of 2008~~~~

I went to Sun Moon Lake to celebrate my final day of 2008 and the first day of 2009. It was beautiful and funny. We spent one night there and watched the beautiful fireworks. It was a great ending of 2008. Seven of my good friend, two of my family and I went there together and we all had great time there. when we arrived there, we had our dinner first because it was late. After the dinner, we went to some shops to see if there were anything interesting to buy. I saw many little beautiful things but due to the money condition, I had to say no to the temptation.

The next day, we traveled the lake. The weather was perfect and the views are really beautiful. I love there. I had ever went there when I was a senior high school student. After four years, I went back there again and the feeling changed a lot. I feel I am no more the girl I used to be. I become a different person. It's good to have this kind of feeling. I took a lot of pictures. Time will go but memories will stay~~~~~~~~~

Welcome my 2009. Hoping I can gradually realize my dreams this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
