Sara Bongiorni wasn’t trying to make a political statement. She just wondered if it was possible. For a year, Bongiorni and her young family tried to go without buying anything produced in China. No shoes, no toys, not even mousetraps. What she found was that it was nearly impossible. Read her story and see how hard it was, especially in the area of groceries. I was amazed. I had no idea we imported that much from China. We talk about being dependent on oil rich countries. Are we dependent on countries who engage in slave labor?

I quote the above content from here, now you might see how hard for a foreigner to get rid of products made in China

Finally i wrote to a dj on ICRT – one of my favourite music radio stations, her name is Emily David, and she’s so kind, i didn’t expected she would replied me, but she did. She also ask me to join the party this weekend at Baxian, but you know, i’m not living in tw, so it’s not possible for me to join in. I told her i would love to, cause what? Living in mainland…

Hakka dialect is a kind of dialect in China, not only in mainland but in tw, many people speak hakka, as a part of the crowd, i’d never thought that there would be some standards of speaking hakka dialect like English test or Chinese test. But i was wrong, recently a group of people took part in the Hakka Certificate Test in tw, i was shocked, you know what does that means? It means the standardize of hakka dialect, it means that people like me speaking the “more dialect” hakka dialect have to restudy how to speak hakka But that’s a good news cause hakka is more likely a “language” than a “dialect”, right?

I like to collcet songs expecially those sung by different artist (different version).

We just received an announcement from the superior of school said that the typhoon is coming and do a good perparation for it. Not long ago, some experts said that if the high temperature lasts probaly will lead to a terrible storm, i hope this is not the begining…

Just imagine your everyday life is sitting in front of the computer, hungry eat, tired sleep, you have to think nothing! What are you going to do about this? Enjoy or havie it changed? Enjoying is ok for me, and that’s exactly the reason why less diaries did i write these days, even if i did, i was “forced” to, you know what i mean right?

Shih complained that there’re too much irrelative posts show up in my blog these days, i told him i don’t wanna to, and then explained that this is my job, thought this might not to your interests, but i’ll continue so, be cool, once i get what i want, i’ll end this.

You might probaly quiet familiar with the movie called <Forrest Gump> talking about a amazing child called Forrest Gump (what kind of description it’s?), <Legend of the Fall>

for most of you might heard of it. Here i want to introduce another movie called <Awakenings> talking about a group of patients wroke up after the treatment by a doctor, but unfortunately, bad things happened again…It really worth your time to watch this movie.

Last week, my Bro. back home had a relax coz he was ill. According what my Bro. said, doctors in GZ sucks, injection is the only way they use to treat patients and that kind of treatment doesn’t work to him; therefore, he decided to had a relax at home, at that time, my parents were both having their holidays in Beijing, so movies were the only entertainments for us both to spent our time.

Watching 24 was my Bro.‘s idea, actually i feel sick of the American TV shows, the reason is because they all seem endless. I’ve seen Prison Break (started from here) – 2 seasons, Lost – 3 seasons, Stargates – 10 seasons! I admit that i like to watch those tv shows, coz they’re really great, and easy to get yourself addicted to it. But what i couldn’t bear is the long period of waiting for the release of the new seasons. Lost for example, its season3 ended in March, but you have to wait nearly a year for the next season. Sometimes I’m just wondering how a tv show director like Stargates’ can direct a tv show for such a long time, more than ten years. Doesn’t they want to end the stories?

Anyway, i’m hook on 24 now, let me finish watching the seasons that already released, after that, i don’t care when will the next season came out. Coz, it seems only one idividual story per season (actuall i’m not sure…) so i don’t have to watch it season by season.
