A met with YAN-ZI SUN. Wings for stars


It came out all in a sudden. When I finished my lunch and stepped out of the student cafeteria, guess who I had met? It was YAN-ZI SUN, a famous pop star. Though I was not her fan, I still felt excited and special.
She was here for filming a new MV for her new song. To my surprised, she was not tall enough as I had thought. Instead, she was very tiny. She was so small that I first regarded her as a filming crew member. I stood there and watched her filming the same section twice. This told me that making an MV wasn’t easy as it seemed. To make the scene perfect, the whole crew must take care of every detail and make no mistakes. I knew it because I had edited a short film before. It was very hard and time consuming.
What you see is not what you saw. The beautiful face you saw was made up by people. In real life, it is not that perfect. But for entertainment, it has to be like this.

A Trip to NTNU's night market. Wings for the night.




On Tuesday night, my senior and I went to National Taiwan Normal University to buy some art goods. It was a normal busy Taipei night, and everything seemed to fly from here to there. Fist we took the MRT station to Taiwan University to do some bagatelles. The MRT passed through station by station, giving me the feeling that time and tide really wait for no man.
After things were done, my senior suggested that we went to NTNU’s night market to have dinner. I have already heard that it is a good place for tasting delicacies. The night market was near NTNU, and I envied so much that students in NTNU can have delicacies every night. The streets of the night market were full of people, making the market very lively. We went through the streets and passed the stores. I was amazed by so many things that I didn’t know what to eat. My senior took me to eat meat stew with soy sauce(魯味). We eat too full to eat another bite.
In the warm temperate night, we took the bus back to school. It was eleven o’clock in the mid-night. When I got onto my bed, I could still feel the bustle of the night market. It is really a good place to go.

Mission for MSN. Wings for すきです

(The boy and the girl ready to catch the ball and their heart)
Yesterday our volleyball team members and I went to Taipei Medical University to take part in 9’th Medcup volleyball match. We weren’t lucky because we met strong teams. No matter how hard we’ve tried, we lost them all. I admit that we didn’t practice hard enough in advance. We had better spent more time practicing volleyball.
Though we lost the games, I did see a lot of beautiful volleyball girls. Hey, this time I was not distracted when playing the ball. Among them I was attracted by one particular girl. I just loved her style. Not too fat, not too thin, she had a bright pretty face and short hair. It occurs to me that I wanted to get her MSN.
So, the mission began. I took my pen and a piece of paper. I steeped toward her with a hesitated mind. Oh, God. What was I doing? I failed because she stood in a crowd of her teammates. Can you imagine going straight into the girls and ask “I like you because you are so beautiful. May I get your MSN?” This is insane.
Finally, when her teammates were gone -all gone- for a while, she sat there only by herself. It was about time. I took a deep breath and walked to her with every courage I could spend. No, no way. She was talking on the phone. How was I supposed to do? Interrupting her? That was too rude. She would have a bad impression on me. You know? First impression is last impression. Then her teammates were back, all back. My chances were all gone, and all gone. So, I just stared at her, watching her leaving and left no more image in my eyes.
There in the volleyball court I stood motionlessly. Waiting, waiting, and waiting. Chances and tears seem to be vaporized by the hot hot sun……

All about a girl.




Mary is a beautiful girl. She is not only beautiful but sexy. I’ve fallen in love with her in the first sight. All I want to do is to make friend with her. Looking in her big eyes and listening to her problems. I want to do everything for her because I love her so much. I always fall into my dream walking with her in the class. However, one day
I found some dirty secrets about her. The girl I love is just a bull shit. She is a two timer. No! She is a “many timer.” She not only go out with me, but with many people.

The Volleyball Girl. つばさ for passion

(HEY! If you like me, don't use the ball to hit my head. I'll be shy. >///<)
“Hey, David. Would you like to go to FU JEN Catholic University to play volleyball with me?” my classmate knocked my room door and asked. Then he took me a ride on his wolf 125c.c. motorcycle. The wind was so strong that it blew away not only my breath but also my heartbeat. The speed was up to 60 km/hr when he rode down the steeple heel. As a brave man, I should not be afraid of this. But the sound coming out of the engine just ate out my confidence bit by bit. The motorcycle leaned when taking turns. I thought that I could almost touch the ground. We arrived at FU JEN Catholic University safely.
The first thing I saw when entering the volleyball court was a lot of charming girls in sports wear playing volleyball. While I was practicing, I was hit by the ball because of not watching the ball but the girls instead. Luckily, I was not discovered when doing the evil deeds. I thought that I had better wear an eye patch when playing the ball, using feeling instead of seeing. The girls just distracted me so much.

Editint the time


Installing the film making program, I sat there and was filled with ideas. I attended the Chinese Medicine department volleyball team. One day, there came a job. I was assigned to accomplish a short video to introduce our volleyball team. So, I made the plots and let them filmed. Our team member and I had a fun time ‘playing’ the acts. The acts are originated from the story “King Arthur and his Knights.” The sword in the stone was transformed into the ‘ball’ in the stone. The one who picks it up can have eternal power and becomes the best volleyball player in the world. The ending was a question mark. I didn’t put the answer. I wanted you to find out.
The real problems came when refining the film. You just had to deal with all kinds of things. What matters was the timing. You had to decide what things to show in each second. The program was too powerful to resist its charm. You may find lots of surprises while making the film. This job is really beyond imagination.

Journey to the past


Last Saturday I went to my mom’s office with my mom. Normally, she gets a Saturday off. But last Saturday she had to work, making up the holiday of 228. My mom works in the TungHai University. I grew up in here. I went to the kinder garden, elementary school, and junior high school in here. TungHai is a very beautiful place, especially now. The plain grasslands are decorated with many kinds of flowers, and butterflies and bees dance between them. Spring wind blew the warm sunlight gently through my cheeks. Parents and their sons and daughters played Frisbee happily, giving me a lovely feeling. I walked along the old classrooms. The time seemed to bring me back to the past. I saw the little me running joyfully with my brothers around those classrooms which my mom had brought us to. The little me smiled at me and asked me to play with them. Just as I was about to say yes, the school bell rang. All the illusion disappeared in a sudden, leaving the bell rings shouting a t my ears and beating my soul in the big empty old classroom.

King Arthur and his knights

With a simple pull, the holy light came out of the marble anvil. And there stood a man with the sword in the stone, King Arthur, the real king of England. The story of King Arthur and his knights took place in the island called Britain, and it is well known by everyone. Recently I read a book about this. Amazed by the splendid magical power and the brave deeds that they have done, I figured out something. Not all the things can be solved by force, wisdom and the belief that things will turn out good play and important role in problem solving. For example, though King Arthur had the most power sword, the Excalibur, he couldn't prevent his sister from stealing the sword and the most valuable sheath. He is not wise and careful enough. The story impressed me most is that the wisest wizard, Merlin, was planned a downfall and sealed by an ordinary girl named Vivian. Merlin had the power to know about the future of everyone and everything. But he was blind to his own. No matter how wise and powerful you are, you just can't resist fate. It is destined that the glory of the Round Table shall fade, but it has become a legend in peoples' mind. Legends are all the same, filling with heroes, beauties, adventures, etc. Most of them inspire us and we are pleasant to be inspired. They give us hope toward our own real life. By the way, I would ask you a small question: the Excalibur is a powerful sword that it can cut out almost everything. It's sheath is a magical case that it could heal and prevent the owner from bleeding. Which one do you prefer? Why? The book is called "The Story of King Arthur and His Knights" written by Howard Pyle published by Sterling Publishing Co., Inc.

Misson For Water

The school dormatory had some problem recently. The water wasn't coming out stably and often stops. This problem had brought me a lot of inconvenience. One day in the middle of the day when I was about to take a nap at the quiet school library, I got a phone call. My classmate who live at the other room told me that he heard a large water flowing sound coming out of my room. He couldn't open the door nor found any of my roomates, so he called me. I rushed to my room and realized that the faucet was fully opened. The water fall like Nigaraga Water Falll. I dare not to think about how muchh water have flawn away. Though I was invanerable to get back to my room, I still appreciated my classmate's timely phone call.

Wings for the past


Time has its past, present, and future. So do I. I was excel in English because I went to English cram school since I was very young. I wasn't bothered while learning English: instead, I enjoyed it very much. Teacher tole me a lot of funny things in English, and we had a fun time discussing with each other. We played games and learned English bit by bit. I used to get up very early to catch the English radio program, which made me very tired when I got to school. But it worth the effort that I've paid. I listened to Let's talk in English at the begining. Now I listen to the Advanced magazing. I've written an English short story called The Mission of Bombing. It's a science fiction. So, why don't you strech your wings and fly in the English world with me?
