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~~~~~~

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
