Encounter With An Elegant Girl On the Local Train

Wow, I've never been so timid before when I see her on the train. She sat right across from my seat. Honestly, my heart has pumped as fast as the train has run. She, with an unknown high school uniform, doesn't wear any makeup or perfume but only a pair of glasses. She has the real natural countenance as described as Eve in the Eden. In fact, I can't help looking at her face as I blush. Somehow, I realized she is also looking at me...We actually have looked at each other face to face for a transient moment. Just as I decide to get up and ask for her phone number, the train has arrived at my destination...what a great job done by the god. I am forced to get off the train and pushed by the crowds. This will be one of my greatest regret in my life starting from today !!

Just A Day For Relaxing

Today, nothing for me to do with. Perhaps, I will draw and write some programs...ah, there's nothing special to talk about today...well, let's start with a recap for the past 5 school days:

Monday - had a great time at school, great basketball practice (12 pts, 4 reb, 5 bl)

Tuesday - had a hard time with my hw, especially for preparing Mr. Dahl's test on Thursday!!

Wednesday - horrible performance in the game against Guang-Fu (a naughty player just elbowed on my face and make me with an awkward countenance; moreover, my lips got cut my teeth )

Thursday - in the morning, I got called to the principal's room and got scolded for my tardiness for 4 consecutive days

Friday - in the morning, I got hit by a motorcycle at my left thigh (fortunately, I got my thick books on it!)

so, in conclusion, it has been a horrible week for me! Hope that there would be a brand new start from now on...

Great Reunion with Hendry

Haha, I just got home now...I went to BurgerKing and chatted with Hendry, one of my best friend who's recently a college sophomore. He's an awesome and humorous person ever. When he drove his car and picked me up from my apartment, he seemed to be a little bit, just a little, more mature than he had been last year. Sometimes, he behaved like a buffoon that even I, as a crazy little boy, can't help getting away from him. He choked, he spitted, and licked the coke that he had drunk...ewwwwwww, but that's how he's been a buffoon who always tries to make fun of himself and entertain others...I glad to see him again after a long summer!

Battle with our Teachers

Despite my injuries, I still attend the basketball game against the teachers. It's an exciting game where everyone, I mean every single player of our team, gets a chance to go on the court and perform. Of a surety, there is a big deficit between the scores, but until Mr. Li has gone crazy and starts going to the rim by himself all the way. He is just like a beast, stronger than he usually is, and dominates all the way through the fourth quarter. Fortunately, we scored much more points than the teachers did in the previous quarters, so we've got the victory at the end where Mr. Li is still not able to help his team bounce back. Whoo~The result has told us that our team is such a young team which still needs more and more experience and better chemistry...

The Wounded No. 41

Today, it is supposed to be great game for all of us, however, things just don't go the way that you want it to be. My job iss to defend a fat and strong guy who plays the position as a center. That guy, purposely, used his elbow to block me as it hits my mouth. My lip is cut by my teeth deeply. It starts blooding non-stop. Moreover, I don't even know what's wrong my shots. The ball just keeps hitting the middle part of the rim and bounces back for many times. In general, nothing goes well for me today. I better go to sleep now and stopping thinking about those things. Hope it is still going to be another glory day tomorrow.

Getting Ready for Tomorrow's Battle

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for not only me, but also the my other basketball teammates. It is our 1st game of the new starting year. In order to be prepared, I pushed myself to do some conditionings and drank a lot of water. It's obviously an important battle for us after our last victory over them. Hopefully, our ex-coach Mr. Rick Garcia would be at the court tomorrow and witness how much we have improved compared to a few months ago. I believe, I believe, I believe, that's what I always do, we do have a great chance to bounce back once again. We have to get focused and do our jobs well. It's going to be a game of a team, not a single person or certain players. It is our time to come up with a big "W!" GO TYPHOON~~

Effort Is Everything

Everyday, every night, I am the one who looks so bright. In order to be persistant of it, all I need is to put my effort in. Today, I practiced playing basketball with my teammates. I hustled, I jumped, I shot, and I even blocked! All these moves were energized and motivated by my effort into work. Whenever I saw there was a guy who wanted to go for the fast break, I hustled and caught him up by challenging his shot. Every time when I did so, I pushed myself to another level of being a redemptive and resilient player. I know what I want. Analogically, it should also be done in my daily homework and school work. I put my effort into it, I win! And that's why, I'm always excited about the coming of a new day.

New Guest

Starting from tomorrow, my life will be totally different because my uncle, who is only 9 years older than I, is going to move in to our apartment for at least half a year! It will be exciting that I have a free tutor and a partner since my brother left to study overseas. Hopefully, he is cosmopolitan for anything. Nonetheless, it is quite an inconvenience that I can no longer sleep without any clothes and piss without closing the washroom door. It's somehow a trouble to me who always prefer to live in a "free" condition. There will always be a certain level of challenge for a new coming in our live. In order to get over it, my attitude must be positive, adamantly...!

Doing For A Living Isn't Easy

After collecting stacks of magazines, boxes, and other paper-made stuff, today is the deadline for recycling. In my opinion, I estimated the weight of those stacks would be at least 30 kilograms, but in fact, there was only around 20 (a bit less than 20). In another word, my expectation for the price of recycling such an amount was wrong. At last, I only got $NT 101 for the reward after I had sweated and gotten sore muscles for more than half an hour. Recalling my memory that granny had told me that I must be frugal and content because there were others who were living in an extremely poor condition. I finally realized what granny was trying to instruct me - doing for a living isn't easy !

Friday

Although there are going to to be a 2-day break after tonight, it doesn't seem to be like that. Papa and mama still arrange some swimming lessons tomorrow morning, according to their own hobbies. I must admit that swimming is actually great when the water pressure softly gives me some kind of message. However, it has always, always, always been a hard time for me to wake up on every Saturday morning. After 5 days (4 for this week, though) of academics pressure, I would really like to relax for a while. I hope that someday, I can sleep for whole-day long in order to recover my physical strength.

Dolefulness of the Old Summer Palace

It was used to be the most sacred asylum in the world as Chinese-style had once become the basic element of fashion. It was the refuge where three generations of emperors had put effort into building it. It was the shangri-la that no one would believe its existence. It lasted for only a century of life as the industrial revolution had risen. On its last breathe, it lamented for the help from its incompetent master as it saw a throng of fiercely ambitious troops rushed into its throat and eradicated its vitality. The murder was a caution of the arrival of powerful strengths of weapons under the industrial revolution era. China, the land that carried 1/3 of both the population and the GDP of the world, only had an evanescent period of wealth for less than a century. Such a ruin was not only the lost of Chinese prosperity, but also the lost of the culture and civilization of our global village today.

My Will

Today is a hard day for me. It has been an all-day long fatigue. I almost fainted during the basketball practice and threw up. I felt so dizzy just as I saw one person as two. My whole body was wet and my legs were shivering just as my sweat drops like a big water drop . I couldn't catch my breathe properly. The practice was the most tough one for me ever. I yawn at every moment. My sore muscles kept telling not to continue the drills. Every hardship was painful to me. However, my will stood me up with powerful strengths. I got another kind of motivations! I started to be energized after I got some water. When I finally finished the practice and took a shower at home, I fell on the sofa and started snoring with big beam on my face !

The Lonely Night

Tonight, perhaps it's gonna be a lonely night for me as a "knight" who fight diligently with my greatest enemies, the homework. Although it is a hard situation for me by which I am definitely gonna be fatigue, I don't regret at all. I had a great time for the past 3 days! I did everything I want 72 hours ago ! And now, it is just the right time for me to pay back what I owed to. I will definitely accept these punishment under the time pressure. For a good man, good will in this case must be utilized. My will is to relax and enjoy what I have to do now. I am the man, who goes through whole process of "mind-whipping" and "mind-shrinking." The headache now seems to be the feul to launch me as an explosive rocket. Pain, is no longer the pain that most people recognize. I am just gonna sit in front of my "guillotine" (referring to my desk) and enjoy all the moments just as the character Sidney Carton in the story of Tale of Two Cities did. "It's a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it's a far, far better rest that I go to, than I have ever known."

The Worst Memory of Moon Festival

The dawn, was the start of my family's celebration for Chinese traditional Moon Festival, has always meant a lot to me since I was young. It wasn't only the BBQ, but also the great reunion of my relatives and me. I quickly got dressed and went to the supermarket by riding my grand-dad's motorcycle. (Of course, I knew that was illegal, but who cares about the laws !) I brought the item list with my shopping journey. At the time went by, I was aware it was time that other relatives were coming. I picked up what I thought that I needed and went to the clerk and briskly rushed to the motorcycle and returned home. At the time when I got home, they were already there. And so, we started preparing the equipment. However, something procrastinated the whole process - I forgot to buy the food.....!! Therefore, I realized that it wasn't easy to be "a purchasing agent. " It was the worst memory ever for my family reunion of Moon Festival.
