THIS IS THE LIFE....

Special holiday in my hometown

2007-06-12T16:05:00.000+09:30

There are many special holidays in Taiwan. In fact, all the holidays have particular meaning and some of them are national holidays. Therefore, the students we were or most of people can take one day or more than one days off. However, the majority of people don't care about the holiday meaning, they just know that they can have a rest during this time. Now I would like to introduce one of holiday in my hometown. It names Dragon Boat Festival. It is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and deplores the legend of the patriot Chu Yuan. Dragon Boat Festival is highlight on the dragon boat racing, which competing with many teams drive their boats.
Moreover, people also drives evil and disease away by hanging moxa( one kind of herb) on the front door, and pasting up picture of Chung Kuei. The Adults drink hsiung huang alcohol. If you can successfully stand an egg exactly at 12:00pm, then the coming year will be lucky for who stand it.Right, the most popular dish during Dragon Boat Festival is dumpling and people eat a lot at the same time.
Where is my dumpling, I am so miss it.

LAST TWO WEEKS

2007-06-08T12:20:00.000+09:30

Oh dear, after this term I am going to finish my GEAP course. Every time in the new class always gave me different experiences, such as the new teachers, the new students and the new course content. I enjoy everyone sharing their countries’ cultures and individual experience.
Actually, in this class has more challenges than before that I have done. The teacher has been teaching more things in classes, so I think I need time to adapt this situation. Obviously, I do quite well(ha......) with teacher and students, however I found that there are still a lot of vocabulary doesn’t know me. That is let me really sad. Besides, the grammar, speaking skills and writing skills also have problems. Perhaps, I will get over these and feel confident in the future.
Cheer up!

POOR STUDENT

2007-05-24T12:29:00.000+09:30

Hi guys, to be frank, I am sorry about this, because I have no sapre money to pay for this party, even spend some money on preparing food for everyone as well. Believe it or not I cannot afford, so I won't be there tomorrow. Anyway, I wish everyone will have a good time.

A PERFECT DAY

2007-05-17T12:41:00.001+09:30

When I woke up in a simple old house. The house is located at suburb, so I could hear birds and chicken sound out of the window. After I made my bed, I stood in front of door, took a deep breath and looked at the sunrise. It was extremely beautiful viewsight.
I picked up some eggs from my chicken house and some oranges form my trees for my breakfast before I went out for running on the country road. After that, I went to my farm to look after animals that my own until midday. As I rode my horse to meet my friends in the afternoon, a special recorded letter arrived. It was a notification that noticed me I won the lottery, but I didn’t mind.
By the time I met my friends at a greasy spoons and we ate a lot of traditional food with beer. Just we were leaving, the restaurant boss told us today was his birthday, so we got the free food.

Spirit

2007-05-14T21:06:00.000+09:30

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance.

For a break that would make it OK.

There's always some reasons to feel not good enough.

And it's hard at the end of the day.

I need some distraction or a beautiful release.

Memories seep from my veinsLet me be empty and weightless.

And maybe I'll find some peace tonight.

In the arms of the angel.

Do it again!!!

Hello, how are you? ha....
I come back and write my blog again, because this is teacher's order.
Actually, I have changed classmates and teachers from last time I login.
Therefore, I am the longest term student who study in GEAP course. During this period, including teachers, students and staff are almost changed slowly from my eyes. In spite of this, however, I still need go ahead and keep studying English to archive my goals. Indeed, I feel unhappy in Adelaide at this moment, because... anyway, I attempt to do my best effort.

IN/OUT MY MIND

2006-10-27T15:49:00.000+09:30

MANY PEOPLE ENTER OR PASS OUT MY MIND during my life. Although someone made me happy or sad, but they were all a part of my life. Today I lost two friends in North Terrace NO.10. I wish them success and good luck in their future. See you, my friends!

LAST WEEK

2006-10-23T21:13:00.000+09:30

Time goes on very fast. This week is the last week for the five weeks phase class. So I also thought what did I learn in the past five four weeks and how many did I remember. Besides, IELTS test also make me nervous but I need to face it, therefore, I started to did more exercises again and again. Finally, I would like to thanks many people who help me a lot and want me pass the test.

MY SITUATION

2006-10-18T18:08:00.000+09:30

Probably my life is boring but I haven't choose. I don't know the other students how to pay the education fee and get spending money. Actually, I pay all of them and I don't have any spare money for plasure even buy a cup of coffee or drink as well. I don't want get any money from my parents because I'm not child any more and must to be an independent person then get goal by myself. 'Why don't you find a part time job?' Good question, because I spent a lot of money on learning English and rent, so I think not thing important than study and I also don't want my work effect my school homework. If I can't spend time on my homework and study, although I earn a little money, so what! Because I pay fee to school more then my earn. I don't want waste money, waste time and waste everthing in Australia.

Every cloud has a silver lining.

ENGLISH...ENGLISH...zzzzzz

2006-10-13T21:41:00.000+09:30

Each week I learn many words, grammar and I also spend time on my homework. However, I feel very hardly to put all things in my 'little' brain. If I can't use these words and grammar which I learn all the time, they always say goodbye to my brain. Poor.... ha! come bake..give me back!
This Thursday, ' How is you life?' Kiwi asked me. I thought it probably black and white, because I usually do the same thing like a robot day by day. Although I love English so much but it doesn't. I wish English shall be colour my life.

STAY AT HOME

2006-10-08T22:35:00.000+09:30

This weekend had passed again, but it still didn't give me any difference in my life. I did't know what can I do, only wasted my time on interent to found some interesting things. Ahaaa! I helped my home mam to fix her desktop computer, because the CPU fan was too dirty and couldn't brought heat away. So we went to shop to bought a new one and changed it. I also help her to crack windows and clean computer virous. I know do these things can make lots of money in Australia . Because last time my homestay phoned someone to sat the wireless. They paied almost one hundred dollar. I stood there and thought "Why they didn't ask me, why?". That is more easier than to paintting. Uh-huh....it's doesn't matter, because.....this is life.

SOCCER GAME

2006-10-03T21:13:00.000+09:30

This afternoon I went to play soccer with Joe, Joon, Youngsun and many new friends. This is the first time for me to play soccer. I don't know any rule about soccer but I thought I need to do some exercise. Actually, today is exactly hot than before, I think summer is coming. We played soccer nearly six o'clock and went home. Although I feel a little bit tired but it is a good exercise.

THE FIRST ARTICLE

HELLO, my name is Jackie. I think you must be very strange about my name. All right, because my family name is Chen, yes, 'Jackie Chen'. Are you laughing? This is a serious thing, O.K. Before I was thinking to choice an easy to remember and not very common for my English name. One day, I had done my presentation about famous person. I thought the actor 'Jackie Chen' did everything very hard, so I want to fallow his spirit in my life.
