Happy Birthday, Wayne.

Happy birthday, Wayne.

Wayne is my senior in NCULS.
If I have to use one word to describe him, I think "genuine" is the best choice.
Although he's now in National Ching-Hwa University, we still meet frequently.
At this moment, I bless you healthy and being genuine forever.

Happy birthday again!

lonely is a man without love

This one below is the Spanish edtion, sung by Andrea Bocelli, one of my favorite tenor.



How come I have a feeling that the other three women are like vases?

Empty chairs at empty tables

This makes me think of Shorty.

Empty bowls at empty floor.

But fortunately he's recovering, not gone.

Poor Shorty

I think this Chinese name is suitable for Shorty.

I heard it from the assistant in the vet clinic.

小短腿 (little short leg)

It's a very cute Chinese name.

With a cute name, how come Shorty is poor?

Last weekend I was home in Nantou, I went to church at Saturday night and was back at 11pm. When I was home, my mom told me that Shorty has eaten something under a vehicle. My intuition told me he might eat something poisonous. (It's Methomyl, after I ask the person who put there to poison the cats and rats. highly poisonous, 7 drops can kill a 70-kg man) Not beyond my expectation, his leg begun quivering. My parents and I sent him to the 24/7 pet hospital in Taichung. I was nervous.

Fortunately, he didn't eat too much and sent to hospital soon. He recovers well now.

Night without Shorty is kind of lonely.

a great weekend

Due to the boring life and exhuasting experiments here, I decided to go to rainmann's place in the Saturday's night.
Sushi-Express and MisterDonut really brought a good resort, as well as the Johnnie Walker Grenn Label. I think Sushi-Express provides a affordable price and acceptable flavor, 30NT/dish. But the dishes that two big men consumed are less than a couple did.
What a shame....

With the breakfast in MosBurger, the Sunday morning was also great; of course the worship made it even better. We enjoyed our lunch in 16-Area, also Japanese cusine, and I called Alex White to join us.

After a short stop in NCTU for the competition of swimming team, I went back to Jhongli with irreluctance.

Paper reading in English

I made a challenge today. (not that challenging actually)

My boss has mentioned that graduate students must present the paper in English in the lab meeting, but everyone seems left this behind. At the beginning of this week, I was wondering to present this paper in English and thinking I should prepare for it and make a pre-say. But things ususally go on without your plan. Although I began to read this paper yesterday and finished the slides this morning (of course without any pre-say), I introduced this paper in English in the meeting this afternoon.

I think my presentation was not bad, but I need to increase the fluency of speaking. I can make it better next time!

Chuck, my Korean brother

Yesterday I met Chuck on the MSN.

It's been couple months I didn't see him online since we seperated.
Chuck is the international student from Korea, and major in Hotel Management (If I'm wrong, please correct me.)
I met him in the first semester of my senior. It's on the Joshua's class, Intercultural Communication, a really nice and interesting class and I recommend to everyone.
My first impression to Chuck is: Wow! That guy's as tall as tree!
I think his height is about 190cm.
Actually we didn't have to much interaction because we were not in the same group of the presentation. But I can tell he is very friendly and like to make frineds with people.
He's older than me. Sometimes I think he is genuine, but sometimes he looks sophisticated.

I knew him more in the 2nd semester.
If you want to know the detail, please read the following blog.

Sorry, Chuck!

Anyway, Chuck is now back to Korea but he told me that he really miss the life in Taiwan.
I'm glad to hear that.
He said that he'll find the chance to go back.
If you really do, please let me pick you up from the airport.
