how I am respectful to Mother Teresa
From the very beginning, I’ve always wondering those questions, which seem to be unable to deal with throughout our life span. To figure them out, I tried very hard observing the relationship how the adults cope with, pondering why the regulations or disciplines had to be made and then followed, and so forth. However, the efforts were in vain in the final. Nothing really paid off, if I keep questioning those things which were complexes. So I change myself and make my life goal to the real side of life. That’s the reason why I finally resolved to be a doctor.
As a man assigned with mission, we should not only help the poor, but also sympathize them with our deepest heart. It really common that why doctors to be a doctor is just because the wealth, which is quite a selfish reason. Doctors should be as dedicated as Mother Teresa, and not demanding any possible reward as her. We should follow her and set her as a model that helps those poor in need.

I-Chung night market
Just by taking bus or taxi, you can easily get there. Most of the bus path passes the I-Chung because lots of students go there for cram-school. The bus stop lies in front of another school, named Taichung Institute of Technology. Walking straight for less than a minute, you will see the noted school, I-Chung, where I was in a year ago. In the rush time of about six o’clock, you might be astounded by crowds of students rushing to the cram-school tall building, “Swei-Li building.” The resources of after-school-education almost all gather here. So students get no choice but to come here for further study after school, which might be a weird phenomenon for you.
However, it is one of the reasons why the I-Chung is prosperous and vigorous. Students are one genre of their major clients.
Pearl milk Tea or Bubble Tea, which you might hear a lot, has dominated the majority of foreigner drink market. Everyone who comes to Taiwan should not lose it. It originated from Taichung, the city you are right now in, and soon blew out to be a triumph, nearly every drink vendors sell it. The beverage is made from little tapioca balls that are boiled in black sugar and dropped in the milk tea. The tapioca balls are the special feature of the tea. You may have been eaten milk tea, which is not rare to you at all. But you will be pleasantly surprised how the tapioca balls feature the milk tea. When you suck through the tube, you can see black balls coming up, rolling into you mouth, and then you will start chewing it with instinct. At the same moment, you will be startled, “how could the milk tea be so delicious when there are tapioca balls!”
Stinky tofu is notorious for its strange odor to any foreigner who has never eaten it before. It’s usually treated fried, with pickles surround it, for the acidity could moderate the food oily smell. If you really do not want to eat STINKY tofu, I will not force you. But if you ask me for advice whether to eat it or not, I will recommend you eat it. The crispy and saucy taste will certainly reminds you of Taiwan after years.
Super Size Huge Chicken Cutlet is one of the most popular street foods in Taiwan. However, this snack at I-Chung Night Market is famous for its jumbo size. It is 1.5 times larger than regular friend chicken; perhaps larger than your face. Taiwanese fried chicken is soaked in special sauce before frying, and its taste is mixed with spicy pepper and aromatic herbals, and the meat quality is tender and juicy; it is of its own kind other from common western style fried chicken.
Hearing those various famous Taiwanese snacks, I bet you now can not wait to visit the I-Chung, do you? Follow my steps close, let’s go forward to the Night market right now!

What's inside the pig's heart!?
At first, the pig’s heart was in a totally chaos situation because the lungs and tissues surround it, making it look like a big bloody flesh ball. Following the teacher’s advice, we start from the obvious aorta, and cleaning the tissues like fat or flesh out of the vessels. Then we forward to the pulmonary artery which stems from the right ventricle, and strip off the unwanted tissues as well, in order to view the vessel more clearly. It sounds like an easy task doing this; however, it took us more than an hour to finish this. As we carried on, we can observe that there was a branch near the end of pulmonary artery, connected with two lungs, indicating that the place is where they exchange the oxygen. Because our mission today was only clean the vessels out of tissue, the teacher asked us to cut the lung off from the vessels. Until then, all the arteries are nearly formed, while the veins were still bond by tissues. Time was running so fast, we then proceed to observe the coronary artery. It divides from the aorta to three other vessels and spread almost all the heart. By viewing the picture, the coronary arteries were under the white material, which is fat tissue, protecting it from the external hit.
Finally, the most exciting show came. We place the heart in a plane situation, and used the scissor to cut a little gap. From the gap, we kept on by cutting along its surface. After the procedures are over, we could peel it and place it open like a “heart mouse.” In the picture, we can see how the left atrium and ventricle, right atrium and ventricle, bicuspid, tricuspid, semilunar valves, pulmonic valve, papillary muscle…etc. We can also imagine how the blood flow: from the anterior and posterior cana vena converge to the right atrium, passing the tricuspid to right ventricles, also passing the pulmonic valve to pulmonary artery, exchanging blood oxygen, afterwards, flowing to the pulmonary veins, converging to left atrium, passing the bicuspid to the left ventricle, and then proceed to the aorta. It seems to be a long, long journey, but in fact, it happens in less than a minute.
After the class was finished, we were so tired as usual, for we had almost used up all of our energy into the anatomy. Thanks to it, I gradually realized how complex beings’ organs are, and could see a little more clearly how my life will be. As I was wondering, I coincidentally raised my head up. I found the sky was so blue and bright as if my future was shining.

table tennis :)
The first time I was exposed to it was about 9 years old. It had been 7 years later that I second time playing it. It was all of a coincidence. I played in the basement that was set for table tennis giving the staff a good environment to relax. And as I was playing, I was noticed by another one who also played table tennis, who is a senior. But at that time, my skill was still very poor but had certain potential, I guess. Perhaps, he thought me as an potential player, so he stoke a conversation with me, telling me how to play table tennis right in technique. From then, after the school was over, I went to the basement and anyhow always met him. Then I grasped the chance to improve and tried asking any possible answer about how to play it. My skill was sharpen every time I met him, and therefore I am now good enough to join the school team.
When I entered the CGU, I have made up my determination to major in guitar and table tennis. The fate of me seems doomed to be that way. I took the audition in the school team at Semptember, the time when I was not even familiar with the school. At that moment I was played with the senior, I thought that I really got little chance to join the school team. However, what with luck and capacity, I had the honor to join the school team. Comparing to other seniors there, I am just a rookie. Whenever I make an invitation to have a play, I often lose. But I still think that one day, I will be an important to the school team, so I practice it more than three days in a week.I never feel tired; Anyway, it's one of my favorite.

The baked rice and spaghetti
I like the baked food so much!! Especially when it is made by MY own hands.
Because last time I came home, I made a request to my mom for a dish of spaghetti. She at first deny it, but finally she made it. It was actually not really good, for the sauce is too thin and not resemble to the one sold in restaurant.
However, my mom is a person who always asks herself a lot to make improvement. This time she referenced the recepi on the Internet, and used the same materials to make it. She is a smart person and therefore she did not follow the procedures shown on the page. Even if she did it at her own will, the sauce she made was certainly a triumph. It was so successeful that even my father who is a picky eater compliment her on the sauce this time. It also surprised me cause the sauce is almost better than whatever I had ate.
But that's not all.
She made another kind of sauce, which is specially used in the baked food. The sauce is mainly composed of variety of vegetables and shrimps, and most importantly, the milk. But different from the common food sold in the restaurant, she added some curry in it. I slightlt blamed her for adding it for I take the flavor not the same as the one in the restaurant. However, we still put some rice and spaghetti in a plate, drenched it with the sauce, sprinkled some cheese on it, and then put it into oven. The process of the melting cheese really impressed me. From the beginning, it was simply something like thin thread. As the time passed, it started to melt until filled the plate like a plain. My heart at the same time beat with the expectation I am looking forward to eating it. And at the last moment it was moved out from the oven, it striked me again. It was not a pure yellow, but dotted with certain gold colors. How glamourous it was!!
As I digged out a spoon and put it into my mouth, I could help myself speaking out loudly, " yummi! yummi!" It did not fall out of my expectation, instead, it was really a wonderful dish.

my band- blue bubble
Since I were a junior high, I have had a dream to build a band. But however, I did not have enough time and money for playing a band, so I at last chose to join the folk guitar club to learn some skills about guitar, and it was then that I really fell in love with guitar. I was so obsessed with the melody from the guitar, and sometimes I even practiced the guitar so hard that I slept with it on my bed. It was such a sweet memory, isn't it?
After I entered the school, I started to make effort to make up a band. At first, I thought it was not acheivable, for I was disappointed for the peers I met at first sight. But as I tried to be acquaint myself with them, I gradually realized that there was not only me who want to have a band. The person I first found that shares common idea with me is the guitarist, A-shing(star). He was once in the chiang-chung senior high school guitar club, and in charge of an important position. We were so crazy about music that we played the guitar and sang together overnight. From the beautiful and poetric begining, we found our partners in progress.
We then found the drummer, Po-Po Lu. She was once a beginner. However, time and effort sharpen one's skills. She is now great enough to get my compliment. And then we found the bass and the singer. All the acquaintance were in a coincidence. Unknowingly, we built a band. And finally we have a band, which might be a dream since we were young for any one of us. Therefore, I named the band blue bubbles, and A-shing gave it a specail explanation, " A band consists of buddies sharing the same dreams that gradually rise up onto the sky like blue bubble."
But our genro has not decided yet, we are still roaming styles in popular to rock. Actually, I am fond of heavy metal. But there are so few people having interest in it. If you have the insterst of seeing how good we are, do not doubt, just rise your foot up and step forward to CGU, to see our performance on May, 22th. The Musis Night we hold is coming!!

old guy, new friend
Interesting as it was, we met each other in the Hot Music Club Office, and started our conversation from the common point that we are both from Taichung, and graduated from the I-Chung senior high. We chatted about how our school has been changed, how the vendors in the vicinity of I-Chung has shifted, and.... We talked a lot. But at last we did not leave each other's profiles before saying good-bye. There was little regret for that people that I encounter I take them just as a flow in my daily life river.
But yesterday, as I was surfing on the BBS in C.G.U., I found a topic named, "Finding the rookies." From the article, I deduced immediately that he was the senior that I met there. But at that moment, the main impression he gave me was that he is a great drummer and bassist. However, it changed soon after I have a long chat with him on MSN. Because I had done a silly thing and caused a big problem in the Hot Music Club Office, I was "famous" for the event. He regconized my ID right away after I joined him as my best friend in MSN. And he started to cheer me, hoping that I was not frustrated by that event. He then talked a lot of philosophy from how to handle the relationship to how to become a moderate leader. Those points really inspired me a lot and what he said happened to be correspont to waht I had been desired to say, but unable to say them in sentences. We chatted for more than a hour, which is really different from the hour of the past I chatted with others.(The topics when I am with my classmates are always gossipy.)At last, he encouraged me to be a person who does not stays up and make use of the morning to study, which reminded me again.
From yesterday's talk, I gradually realized the idiom in Chinese, " friends of ignoring age." For the reason that we can get the experience from the old, and not to be tripped by the same mistake they had done, or we can set the old as a model to follow. After I know him, I see my future goals more clearly, and therefore I wrote on my MSN condition, " Gradually, I find the "pick"(the gimmick for guitarist, which is really important.) of my life"

I fall in love with the blog
The efforts are not in vain. The voices that once always played in my brain occasionally appear. The other "me" starts use English as the official language to talk to me, instead of using Chinese saying some literature filled with the rhetorics. The old me was brought back to back to life so fast that I do not know how to handle it.
Thus, I am now typing.
But in the other hand, the key that open the door in front of the old me can be in certain degree attributed to the force from the English teacher, who ask her student to be a blogger and make composition on the Internet.
I hope this time the craze will not degraded.
Tree and root
I am a easily-convinced person, taking every words from my mom or dad as the truest. I never really doubt what they claim, even the concepts that do not go well with the ones taught in school.
However, sometimes I might talk back for certain reasons, but in fact, I was still the yielder, cause I still follow what they ask me to do or to be.
Sometimes I wonder whether I am right or wrong to be the one that always follows, or would I lose myself if I do not insist on my own choices. But as a matter of fact, even now I am a college guy, I still feel some invisible barriers that blocked me in the past every now and then. Although they have kept asked me to play hard during college life since I entered college, I can not do it quiet well as I hope to.
There are invisible things obscure my sight on the way.
Actually, I am not making any complains about that. It was a scene in the television that reminds me of the motto he told me to follow. On the spot, a image of me curled by the roots like vines, being stuck and unable to go nowhere hit me.
When can there be any salvation helping me out of the present?

Politic has penestrated like spice
As far as I know, my father is a quiet stubborn guy about the things he chooses. But this time, he does it to the extreme. Since the president election in 2008, he has been sleeping in my room instead of his own room with my mother, for my mom did not vote the president in Green but the one in Blue. My father even asked her to swear that she voted the Green if she wanted to have him at their room. However, she at last did not swear that she had voted the politician my father likes, and my father therefore consider her dishonest. From then on, he started a long cold war with my mom, and has slept in my bed until today when I am at home. I told him," If you are not willing to give my bed to me, I'd rather sleep downstairs." Finally, my Dad yielded to my advice to sleep at his own room.
The last time he had quarrel with my mom was during the time when Taichung Mayor elected. When my mom was going to vote, he stood in front of the door, meaning that she could not pass it. Then I told my father, "why can't you let her go? It's her liberty." He finally leave door. Interestingly, instead, he went to the end of the street where mom would pass if she wanted to vote. The action still meant that she could not vote. Therefore, my mother did not vote at last cause the time was over 5 pm.
But whatever, the only time there can be any quarrels in a year may be only when the election is held. They always get along with each other very well. Sometimes, when I share my experiences about how they are doing well with each other, some of my fellows will be shocked that how they hit it off well with each other instead of having fights for certain reasons in finance or so. So I really appreciate at their way of getting along, which is the model for every couples that quarrel so often. That's why I take the politics as the spice in their unchanged peaceful life, which is indeed needed. ;)

how I hate my awkwardness
In CGU, the huge university with lots of people, resources, and lands, the imformation here is few even none. We seldom get in touch with the lattest new fasion things as the people in Taiwan university. There, lots of activities are held nearly everywhere close to it. Or simply by a MRT ticket at hand, we can wander around taipei downtown at will. Concerts, cultural activities, art exhibitions ..., everything is happening at every moment. People there can be in touch with new things right away as they are willing to. But as we view CGU, there's nearly none activities that can cultivate the world wide view of a college student. The activities are comfined to just clubs or faculty, instead of between schools or some cultural department. Even we are next to Taipei within just thirty minutes, how people wear here appear to be more closed. Not every one cares how their looks are, and few girls put make-ups on and dress up themselves in fashion.
I am not complaining. I am making a statement of my wonders that bother me so long. "Is my college life so boring as it is now?", "Why college life is not something more than study?", "Will there really be any changes in CGU if the MRT systems are installed?", "How can everyone do to make this college more like a college?"

Sit back and enjoy it- Lips Of An Angel by hinder
Honey why you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk right now
.Honey why are you crying? Is everything okay?
I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was youI guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear our voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue
Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was youI guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice say my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
It's really good to hear your voice say my nameIt sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angelHoney why you calling me so late?
The first time I heard the song was my senior high.
I was totally amazed by he singer's elegant and racous voice on the spot. The melody of the song and the emphasis of the yrics make me think of it as a pure love song. But when I listen to it more attensively, I found that it's not just a simple love song.
The first sentense, "Honey why you calling me so late?", implies some clues that the man has some regrets for his past girlfriend, and therefore he empasizes the word, "late", for if she has done something much earlier, the results might be totally different. The sentense, "I gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud", it is obvious that the reason is the latter sentense, "my girl's in the next room", and we can tell that the man still have some love for his might-be former girlfriend. Also from some keywords such as "sweet","lips of an angel",...etc, we can still find some evidence that there should be some remained love for her. However, the chosen girlfrind is not to be her, for that" you make it hard to be faithful", the reason of which is something that is not really clearly written in the lyrics. As we have seen, it's more than a love song. It shows the contradiction between the two love that a man met. There is no knowing that what we will do when meet this kind of condition. I hope that if one day I am the man with the complex situation, I will handle it well, and make things go as smoothly as possible, making sure that no body would be hurt.
