Unwritten custom


In this picture, the girl next to me is my cousin. We took this picture in the ending of one of my cousin’s wedding feast!




This year, actually the half a year, in my family, five members will face the most important choice of their life, wedding”s”. The bride and the bridegroom to be are of the same generation with me. Averagely, they are nine years old than I. Most of them are sons or daughters of my father’s sister. When I was a child, there are a lot of activities, such as my grand parents’ birthday and many festivals, in the clan just like now. Because I used to be shy at that time, so they were unfamiliar to me. Not until I became “less “shy to “strangers”, I gradually knew them in detail.

In fact, in my family, there is an unwritten custom that you can not make girlfriends or boyfriends during your study, so nearly all of my cousins make opposite friends late when they have a stable jobs. But the “rule” becomes challenged when there are “counterexamples”, like my older brother. Now the seniors are not that strictly limit “remaining us”. They have liberal views about the normal development of boys and girls.

In my opinion, I don’t know whether it is good or not to us. But, maybe it's the time that I have to change my mindset just like my parents and aunts!

The lyric:
Bad Day-------------------------Daniel powter

Where is the moment we needed the most You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost They tell me your blue skies fade to grey They tell me your passion's gone away And I don't need no carryin' on You stand in the line just to hit a new low You're faking a smile with the coffee to go You tell me your life's been way off line You're falling to pieces everytime And I don't need no carryin' on Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day The camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day You had a bad day Well you need a blue sky holiday The point is they laugh at what you say And I don't need no carryin' on You had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day The camera don't lie You're coming back down and you really don't mind You had a bad day (Oh.. Holiday..) Sometimes the system goes on the blink And the whole thing turns out wrong You might not make it back and you know That you could be well oh that strong And I'm not wrong So where is the passion when you need it the most Oh you and I You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost Cause you had a bad day You're taking one down You sing a sad song just to turn it around You say you don't know You tell me don't lie You work at a smile and you go for a ride You had a bad day You've seen what you like And how does it feel for one more time You had a bad day You had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day Had a bad day

Wedding


Last Saturday must be the most important day for my cousin. He was going to merry his wife, my sister-in-law. I think it is my duty and pleasure to attend their wedding and I was so happy to do him a favor.
I can still remember when I was a child; he sometimes took “us”, including my siblings and other cousins to smolder some food, such as sweet potatoes and chickens in the field. In Chinese, we called it “烤窯”. We had a lot of fun at that time.
I appreciate him for he takes part in enriching my childhood. I congratulate him from the bottom of my heart! And I hope one day when it’s my turn to get married, he will come to my wedding and bless for us.




The little girl in this picture is one of my nieces. She is at the age of three.

How to Go to See a Doctor in Taiwan
When we feel uncomfortable, we will turn to a doctor. Take Chang Gung Memorial Hospital for example, if we want to see a doctor, there is a fixed pattern for us to follow.
First, make sure which department you are supposed to go. You can ask your family doctors in advance. They are familiar with your conditions and can make a rough diagnosis on your discomfort. Second, make an appointment. You can make a registration online or by a phone call. Third, make sure that you bring with your health insurance card, and wait for medical advice in waiting room. Then, the doctor will give you treatment. Before the doctor’s diagnosis, you have better to prepare what to say and how to express your symptoms properly to your doctors. Sometimes, the doctors may lose sight of some significant details. You can use this method to “remind” them. Fifth, take your receipt to the counter and pay for it. You still have to pay for your registration fee or other charges. Next, fill your prescription at the pharmacy. After that, you can leave the hospital and go home.
Be well prepared to see the doctor by following the procedure. You can get a proper treatment!picture resource:http://www.tlps.cyc.edu.tw/home/bird/091_4ab/Moving_dog/Sheng_Sin/Dinlio_Shengsin/54.JPG

BULLETIN!!

I always pay attention to the weather forecast. This morning, a bulletin caught my eyes. It forecasts that a strong sandstorm will strike Taiwan tomorrow morning.
The sandstorm is originated in Inner Mongolia. When a front went through the dry dessert, it brought tons of sands with it. When the sandstorm attacks a city, it will be foggy and the air was filled with lots of motes. The research also points out that the sandstorm may bring with lots of pathogens. It will do harm to our health, if we don’t take the precautions, such as wearing a mask. People who suffer from respiratory disease should avoid going out during these days as less as possible.

A New Discovery


About two weeks ago, when I browsed through the news on the yahoo, I was quickly fascinated by the research. The research points out that the children who are in bad interactions with their fathers are apt to have worse performances in apprehension, logic, and intelligence than those who hit it off with their fathers. In short, their bad relations with their father will put a brake on the development of brain. They will be more aggressive and can’t get along with their sibling. In school, they will be categorized as uncompanionable guys. They even will be reluctant to take the charge for their mistakes.

The article resources from: http://tw.news.yahoo.com/article/url/d/a/070407/4/cl1a.html

After reading this discovery, I congratulate myself on that I am in good relation with my father all the way. He is just like my hero, my teacher, my older brother and of course my beloved father.

How to Go to See a Doctor in Taiwan
When we feel uncomfortable, we will turn to a doctor. To avoid burning the unnecessary medical resources and get a proper treatment, we need to make some preparations beforehand. In my opinion, we can reach the goal by obeying some principles.
First, ask your family doctor for opinion. They are familiar with your conditions and can make a rough diagnosis on your discomfort. Next, make sure which department you are supposed to go. Third, surf on the net or ask others to affirm which clinic or hospital is your best choice. Fourth, before making an appointment, one thing is important that you have to search out your health insurance card. Then, if you succeed to find out your card, you can make an appointment with the doctor. Finally, prepare what to say and how to express your symptoms properly to your doctor. Sometimes the doctors may lose sight of some significant details. You can use this method to “remind” them. After that, remember to bring some money and health insurance card with you. You still have to pay the registration fee or other charges. Above all, the most important thing is “Don’t be nervous. Just take it easy!” Be well prepared to see the doctor by following the procedure. You can get a proper and acceptable attention!

Julie, My Friend

Julie, a cute little girl, is one of my classmates. With jetty hair and bright eyes, she just looks like a pretty doll. She always wears a benevolent smile and is pleased to help others. That is why she has great relations with others.
Not like other freshmen, Julie makes it a rule to early bed and early gets up. I think that’s the reason why she can always concentrate in the class and have fair skin. Corresponding with her active character, she loves singing songs and dancing. She goes practicing with chorus nearly everyday. In the recently, our school’s chorus had won a championship in the contest. I think she must be very excited about that. She also attends the club of ballroom dancing. What a colorful life it is!
When we talked about our plans for the future, she told me that she would like to be a costume designer. This is not beyond my expectations, because she always comes up with a lot of ideas when we discussed some things. I sincerely hope that one day her dream will come true.
