The Retrocession

This song is called Chu Chu by moumoon, and it's damn cute. Just look at her luscious lips! Okay. This post isn't about a girl with cute pink lips. It's about taking trains. I always liked buses and trains since young. I can always remember which bus goes where and recall all the stations along a train line etc. Just a living street directory and bus guide. But I've never had a serious trip on the train proper, like 火车 instead of 地铁 or 捷運. I did travel from Xi'an to Beijing when I was 6. Or was it Guangzhou instead? See, I can't even remember. So I was in Taipei, and decided to go Tainan with my travel-pal Pak Chuen. First, you need to take the MRT to Taipei Main Station 台北車站. 台北車站 is unique because it is a three-in-one station: the High Speed Railway 高鐵, the MRT 捷運, and the Taiwan Railway 台鐵. 台鐵 had an exhibition on its heritage. Liu Ming-Chuan 劉銘傳 was great man who transformed Taiwan into a modernised society. He bu...

人間の心の中に闇があります。 人間の正体と真意は不明です。 人間は闇を恐れます、だから、炎で隅を燃やします。 If you keep thinking about unhappy things, you'll always be unhappy. Give optimism a try, you might like it and be addicted to it!

昨天，一位许久不见的同班同学突然打电话来。 一阵寒暄问暖后，他问晚上有没有空一起吃饭。 他说现在有做些生意，很久没有跟老朋友联络，很是挂念。 自己已经听出了一点端倪，但是还是给了他那个 Benefit of Doubt 。 茶余饭后，他就开始推销自己的 事业 了。 我有一点expected，所以也就听进去了，反正自己到最后一定不会买账。 我，毕竟，是有原则的。 或者也可以归类为stubborn啦。 他就说道：“小时候很多人都梦想有大房子，很有势咧！”“很多人都梦想有辆跑车，很有势咧！”“大家梦寐以求的工作，就是翘脚慢活却又能赚大钱！”“你要用一辆mercedes追美眉，还是用一辆哦普普通通的Nissan Sunny？” 幹，我从小就知道勤俭是种美德（虽然存了20年也没有多少，哈哈哈）。 我也真的没有这种爱慕虚荣的心态。 Being Attention-seeking is one thing, Vanity is another. [29/12/11: Oh, now got this new concept... The boss will personally come down to "guide" and "nurture" 10~30 new talents but this is only limited period of time... It's a great opportunity not to be missed! 老板亲自指导喔 ……！ I don't really care if your boss 指导 or not. In fact he should, since all you guys are rolling money in for him. He is the greatest 金主, who doesn't need to do much and wait for money to be generated based on commissions...] 没有钱，我的确无法过活。 但是，用 金钱 跟 爱好 相比，我宁可选择 爱好 。 当然啦，它的前提context是我得有一点点钱。But then again, Ar...

I have cui English, and I often break English words into components like the way Chinese words break up into characters. :D Hasn't been able to catch up with blogging lately. Too busy in the barracks I guess. In case you guys don't know yet I've FORMALLY extended my service for my nation (at the request of my boss, of course) so very soon I'll be a T H I R D Y E A R S O L D I E R hohohoho. The pay is still the meagre sum, I'm doing this solely for my boss because he has been nice to me so far. Of course I could have F-ed off and just leave the force, but not a very nice thing to do lah huh. I've always tried to be nice even though I behave otherwise. Hahaha. So yesterday actually I went to watch 那些年 again with Weesiang. Poor fella no one to watch with ah? Okay lah this movie is better watched with people with the same gender. And same maturity as well. 有些许 黄色 镜头哦，呵呵呵。 Watching a movie twice is no big deal, I've watched 海角七号 seven times and I...

Went to watch 那些年 with Dian Feng and Zhihao. 电影在台湾放映的时候就已经听说它有多么多么好看，没想到在这里想找几个人来看还这么难。中文片有那么难看吗，还是因为看不懂……？ Anyway电影人物的诠释挺好的，个个都很生动，配角跟主角的互动关系很生动，真得很像我们以前在学校里读书那样。哈哈 只是以前我们可不敢这么顽皮哦。 看完电影，心情总是还会沉浸在那个电影的”氛围“里面。话说这位柯先生追女生追了那么旧，最后就这么放弃了，真的是令人扼腕，惋惜啊。最傻的是他，最有勇气的，其实也是 他 。 其实，不管结局如何，有尝试过，就是有guts的表现。 只是，像他能够大大方方的接受结局（的残酷），有点不可能吧……？ 回到现实生活中，我能不能像他一样，脸皮那么厚的面对一切呢？ 就让二十年后的自己回头看好了。
