2005 Art Exhibition

My art teacher held an art exhibition on Oct 29 to Nov 10 exhibiting his students' art work, and he also made an album of the paintings for every student. The one above and below were my pastel art I chosed for the exhibition. Noticed how they put "Mathematic Superior Intelligence Class" (p.s. I don't really know how to translate it) after the school I study in? Honestly, I was a little bit uncomfortable about it because I hated it when people saw it and expected me to be a math genius that I'm actually not. Well, I guess I'll just keep my art teacher feel proud of having a student studying mathematic before I graduate.

Tomorrow Super Pet Star

I guess any pet enthusiast just won't get enough of their pets' "cute" photos. Even you know those honey bee or superman customs won't keep your pets any warmer, you just can't help persuading yourself that they will and in fact make your pets happier. We didn't buy any exquisite clothes for our pets, but we still found ways to make them look good in front of the camera. Don't you just want to hug them? 

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

I rented "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" at Blockbuster yesterday and I loved it! I'd read the book in elementary school and what impressed me most were the elevator with thousands of buttons that could go any direction and the fact that Charlie's two grandparents slept on the same bed. I loved everything in the factory, including the chocolate river and the squirrels. Keep in mind that you should never be serious when watching this film, especially if you're not a very imaginative person, or you'll end up like my mom, saying "He should give them resignation finance." when Mr. Wonka fired all of his workers after his secret recipe of chocolate was stolen. 

MOO!

A catty Liv Tyler helps her little calf, 10-month-old Milo, get a leg up outside their Greenwich Village home in New York city on Halloween.
This reminds me of the Halloween we had when we were in the U.S. It was the most expected holiday beside Christmas, and I was an Indian girl the first year and a witch the second. In our neighborhood, there were always people who enjoyed Halloween as much as children did while there were still a few who didn't. The first year I went trick-or-treating with a Chinese girl who wore the same custom as mine at a mall. Unfortunately, we went a bit too late that it was almost closing and most of the candies were already given out. Too bad Taiwan doesn't have a fun holiday like Halloween.

 

I Love to Draw!

So you see, my art talent doesn't just pop up from no where. I love to draw since I was a kid, and you see how concentrate I was?

 

Albert Does Have A Time When He Was Cute!!

These are the photos of my brother that really make me laught. All right I admitted he was cute, but I sure didn't think so back then. The one on the left upper corner was Albert dressing in a custom for his performance in kindergarten, and the one on the right down corner was at our house in Taipei, where we used to have a toy car you can actually sit in and run about with your feet( like the one in Modern Stone-Age). 

Goofy Little Girl

Thanks to scanner and computer, we can now scan our really old photos into our computer and save them for good.1994, that was when I was 7 years old. And where was I? I was that goofy little girl with a funny pose, the second from the left. The two kids next to me were my cousins, and the girl on the right was my sister, Michelle. 

Are You Aware You're Actually Sleeping On My Bed?

Well, compared to the poor stray cats that suffer from cold winds and rain, Fat Tiger is really enjoying his nap on my blanket. I bet you would never tell he was once a stray cat too unless I tell you. He spends most of his day sleeping or staring at birds outside the window. I'm not sure if he's happier after he becomes a pet, and I sometimes wonder maybe he prefers the freedom on the street. Who knows? But that's what pets are for, to keep human companied and pretend to be happy wearing pink bows on their head, right? 

Two Hungry Cats

I have been feeding two stray cats everyday after I get back from school. At first there was only the limped orange cat that wandered around on the street, and I startd feeding him after I found that he was unabled to jump any higher than the car roof and was thin to his bones. Then I guess he just couldn't help but tell the good news, so here comes another black cat,which seems much younger and healthier, to share the meal. Now they will be waiting for me every afternoon at our front door. Though they'll still get a bit nervous if I come too close to them, but I don't want them to be too relax with humans anyway because that's how they'll survive as long as they're stray cats. 

Another faded photo

Here comes another photo of my grandparents in their thirties. I think they're holding my biggest aunt ( I have five aunts and my father is the only son, by the way.) This one is much clearer than the former one and my grandpa did look similar to my father. Does that mean I'm gonna look like my mom when I get to her age??

 

Everlasting Love

My sister Michelle was digging through the drawer with photo albums and found this old photo of my grandparents' wedding day. I think this was taken at least 50 years ago, yet you can tell they're my grandparents all right. It's quite sad that I've been living with them for so many years, still I don't know them well enough to tell you more about this photo. Sure I can go downstairs right now and ask them, but somehow I just found it a bit awkward, to be suddenly interested in their romance. There is at least one thing I can tell you: photos may fade, still, true love lasts forever.

Disappointed Drummer

My brother Albert (third from the left) has been taking drum lessons for about three years, and he finally had the chance to perform on the stage at Sun Moon Lake with his teacher (man in the middle) and some other students. The performance was supposed to be held on Sep. 9, and then unfortunately it was postponed to Oct. 2 due to the typhoon Ka Nu. Albert was really looking forward to it, so a little typhoon wouldn't hurt, but now here comes another typhoon Dragon King and the show has to postpone again, only this time they're not sure of the date. My mom had already cancelled our hotel, and now we can only sit and pray that the performance will only postpone, not cancelled. 

Through the Mirror

It's me, Mommy!

 

Baby in Vogue

One of American favorite gifts for newborn babies is clothes. My aunt said that Chloe had received a pile of new clothes given by everyone, and she did showed off all her clothes in the photos. Look how happy she smiled in her new clothes! 

Drama Queen

 

Cute Little Princess

My aunt from the US came visit us last week and brought us a photo album full of Chloe, my cousin Julia's baby. She's only six months old, yet she already know how to smile beautifully in front of the camera. My grandparents are really happy to become great grandparents, and I quess they will bring Chloe here to Taiwan to meet her great grandparents until she's a little bit older. 

Human 319

We lied on the grass and spelled out 319 which means "class 319". The grass was itching and the sun was burning hot above our faces, but still we beared it long enough to take this . The man standing on the right is our math teacher Mr. lee. 

Heaven in Taiwan

My favorite pic of all. The blue sky and the ocean...fishes swimming below, tiny crab on the rock...isn't it just beautiful? By the way, this view was just right behind our hotel, Yo Ho.

 

Picacsa the Angel

My first try for using Picasa to blog my photos. It's a lot faster than the old way, which was uploading the photos from the blog. Thank you Picasa!! 

Soaked Wet Cellphones!

All the boys in my class were wet from their hair to toes. Some jump in themselves, others who tried to stay clean and dry except getting some sand on their feet were thrown into the ocean in the end. I heard that one or two unluckies left their cellphones in their pockets, which were also soaked wet. So you can quess what happened to the cellphones. Lucky I'm not a boy!

Dry Creatures in South Bay

I have been busy studying( that's true) since I came back from Kenting, so I'll just quickly post the "most expected" ones of my photos in Kenting while you can check out the others here. This pic is the "only" five girls in my class, and also the "only" ones that the upper body are actually dry at South Bay. You can see what I mean from the pic above this one.
