It's the end of this semester and I'm going to 9th grade!

Ohhhhh.... I am getting old... Soon I'm going to become one of the bossy senior girls... Well, maybe not, because I'm actually quite nice! Don't believe me? Ask my classmates! 
Doesn't this girl in pajamas seem kind& caring & smart to you? Ha-ha, just kidding.

Today we've had our final exam and I think I've done really well, not counting Society and Geography(the subject's name, I don't really know how to translate that ones into English.)  I think I have flunked them already. They are sooo much harder than Science and Math. I may get over 95 points in Math and Science, out of luck.

Anyways, I'm kind of tired now. See you guys later. Bye.

Am Going to Watch Crazy Little Thing Called Love Again!!!

Argh!!! Finally! I have finished my final exam and I'm gonna to persuade Mom to watch First Love with me! The first time I watched this was like, two weeks ago, at school. I cried my eyes out. Luckily, the curtains were pulled closed so nobody(I guess, "almost" nobody) saw me burst into tears(thank goodness!) Though it has been a long time since I last watch it, I have been so obsessed that I STILL didn't get over it. I get the urge to weep every so often when I think of how hard Nam have tried to let Shone notice her. Especially the part at the swimming pool...                                         

And after watching the movie I just cannot stop telling everyone how great the movie is! (Though I didn't tell my classmates I've had a crush on the leading actor, Mario Maurer. He is sooo cute! P.S. On magazine covers he seemed a bit too grown-up...Didn't really like the pictures... Guess I only have a crush on Shone then... But at the end of the movie Shone got too old... Do men look that old 9 years after they graduated from high school?) Anyways, Baifern, the girl who acted as Nam, is also awesome. She is so natural!
Highly recommend it!

Photos of Mom, Granny, Auntie and Uncle Last Winter

I have decided to organize the photos we took last winter at Granny's, and these are some of my favorites.

From left to right respectively: Uncle Chen, Auntie, Granny and Mom. This photo was taken in winter. I wasn't in the photo because I didn't go to Granny's last winter. It was photographed by Lele Chen, my cousin.

 From left to right respectively: Granny, Mom, Uncle Chen, Auntie.

Granny and Mom. They were so cute! This one was taken the year before last year, photographed by me.

Well, this is the scary stone I found on the shore next to Elephant-Nose Mountain. It has a face! Yikes! And it seems to be smiling!

Granny

                          

I have recently found this photograph of Granny. Two years ago.

Mom and I visited her in China. We walked along the gorgeos path of art, of nature. There is lots of things I give credit to China as a Tawanese, this is one of it: The goverment designs all the sceneries perfectly, which are combined by natural beauty and man-made gardens. They have cleaners there every single day, to pick out the garbage in the river, mop the road, and cut the trees into delicate shape.

There is nothing like this in where I live. Nothing like this in Taiwan. We have nice parks though, you could see from the photos I uploaded last week (or is it two weeks ago?). But Mom and I are the only people who go there, which is so sad. It's such a waste if nobody appreciate the park itself.

They don't care a bean for it.

But as long as I knew, Granny does. She sings songs when looking at the glorious flowers. It is a song of two butterflies (Granny used to be a teacher in pre-school). People who don't know her may consider that as childish. I consider that wonderful and vigerous--- it lets her heart stay young.

"Everything is not what it seems."

I thought I liked Mario Maurer. Not because I liked his personality, not because I liked him by heart.
But because I liked the person I thought he was in "A Little Thing Called Love".
I liked the way he was in the movie---to make it short, I liked that "role", the boy who was so kind and romantic, not the actor himself. We often do things like this: to like& have a crush on a person on telly, by the person he or she seems to be. But who that person really is, we don't know.
Several years ago, I liked David Henrie from "The Wizard of Waverly Place" as the role of Alice's brother Justin. The ernest, hardworking and smart boy.However, I saw him wearing only a sleeves jacket with all the muscles in the one of the films, I was stricken. Because I don't like boys who wear little clothes. Then I don't like him anymore.
This proved a thing, "love" is something that comes from heart. E.g. We won't hate our moms just because they aren't stylish or something. Because true love isn't skin deep.
I went on a Chinese BBS, and saw lots of people discussing. Many of them said, "I liked the boy in 'The Love of Siam', not Maurer himself. I had once desperately tried to know everything about him; then I realized, I don't really know him at all."
Just like the song in "The Wizard of Waverly Place" , everything is not what is seems. When we like the role, it doesn't mean that we will also like the actor/actress.
