The moment




If time could stop. Stop at the moment that I wish. Just freeze. How I wish that I have this kind of power or magic......

Seize the time of lifetime to do something worth trying; to create something that worth memorizing. Time wait no one. It flees away in every minutes and seconds. Wondering around what to do, how to do, why not just practice it, fulfill it, realize it. No need to wait. It wastes of time. The moment is important. Every moment is meaningful. Every moment is the prelude of next moment. What is alive? What is dead? When will one know he/she is alive or dead?

Why not give it a chance? Make it happen! Create the opportunities instead of waiting for chances to come.

The Quake









A magnitude 7.9 earthquake hit Sichuan province on May 12. Thousands of hundreds of people died and almost all the buildings damaged in Sichuan and other near provinces. The earthquake took people’s life cruelly within few seconds. The unknown numbers of victims still trapped under the rubble of collapsed building waiting for rescue. Meanwhile 130,000 soldiers and about 100 helicopters were sent to comb the wreckage for survivors from China government. Also the minister of China appeared in person in the quake zone right after the earthquake. In addition, the rescue team and any other relief from other countries all rushed into China including raising funds.




The scene of the bodies of the victims lined up on the ground was scary. Most of them still remained underground. Digging the concrete falling wall with their bare hands, seeking their family members by calling their names drastically, the earthquake had brought away many lives in China left countless corpses only. The sound of wail, scream, crying, sobbing comprised of a sad symphony. The atmosphere there was gloomy. People all wore a sorrowful look. The grief of losing their loved ones would be the permanent wound of lifetime.


What can we do for the victims except donating money?


"No."


The answer might be too subjective and absolute but this is the way how it goes.The only thing we could do is to donate our money and pay great sympathy for them. If possible, then joining the relief group to rescue the people in China.


The disaster of nature is huge. We human beings cannot resist it. We should cooperate with each other and break down the boundary between countries and countries. Together give the help to the needed. Why there is no coincidence among different countries? How come the pursuit of interests becomes the main stream of the world? Benefit, glory blur the essence of being humankind……
Where is the humanity?

An unexpected accident








Today I had a “small” car accident on my way to school. Since I was almost late for an important address I agreed to my friend for a ride. In fact I was just about to refuse my classmate's suggest for a ride as I walked back to my dome to get my scooter key but because of impatient I was reluctant to wait the elevator. I should follow my intuition anyway. We, my two classmates and I ride on the same scooter. We were all in a rush for being late for class.












All of a sudden, my classmate, the rider, hit one of the side scooters heavily in the parking log. The sound came more quickly than the hurt. I was then aware that I bumped into it. It was really really hurt. The scooter that we hit was parking in the wrong place actually in the center of the street! Thus an accident happened. I got three big bruises on my leg and also a 13 cm long abrasion. Then I suggested that I can “fix” my wounds by my own and my classmates should attend the class. As I walked back to my dome, I couldn’t stand the pain on my poor leg. Was I to stubborn for their company and chose to walk back along? I was just thought that I could handle it. How terrible as I saw my leg was bleeding. Anyway, I washed the wounds and put some ointment on them and I nearly scream out but one of my roommates was still sleeping. So I endured the pain without any voice. I gritted my teeth against the pain.












Later on, the rider came to my room with a very sorry look. She worried about me very much which eased my pain a little. But things sometimes will happen without any warning. I won’t blame her but myself ……why I always overslept for classes. This accident was surely preventable. Accidents are always unexpected but preventable. Who knows…..people always just can’t remember the lesson from the experience.

A trip to Kenting?












Last weekend, I visited Kenting with the club, astronomical observations club, in our school. About 16 people went there with scooters. Crazy? Riding scooter from Kaoshung to Kenting under hot and humid weather? For me, I was totally exhausted when I arrived. There's one thing for sure, that is, I will definitely not go to Kenting with scooter anymore!!


As night came and stars supposed should appear, too but unfortunately the cloud was too heavy only one to three stars could be seen. Thus, we had to wait until midnight. We chatted and chatted.......

It is the season of cicadas. The cicadas buzzed in the heat of the day also the cooling of night. Their lives only exist for a short period. They died but left new lives. Their appear represent that summer has already came.


When I decided to have a "night trip" I asked two of my friends to accompany me. Near the place where we camped situated a small and bright police station and nothing else. Far from the urban, this police station located in the quite countryside. As we walked across the police station, a policeman strolled out and stand in front of us with a puzzled look. He might be wondering that how come we gels strolling around in midnight. We were asked to have a cup of tea. That was really fantastic to get so close to the policeman although my father is a policeman, too. Talking to the policeman was really interesting; later on two of our friend joined us. The policeman treated as with dessert and some fruits. Sipping the Chinese tea, we along with the policeman chatted a lot. The atmosphere was harmonious.

The sudden burst of the cicadas made the night even more tranquil.


Nowadays it seems only countryside can provide a sense of peace…..live under the heavy pressure of the society made me want to become a hermit sometimes. Fame, success, study for some purpose always make me can hardly breath. Am I too weak? I don’t think so. I was just couldn’t stand some “dark side” of this society.
