Cingjing Farm 2007

My working-all-year-long father had got an one-week vacation before our summer vacation ends, so we took the advantage and traveled to Cingjing Veterans Farm http://www.cingjing.gov.tw/en/about/index.php for two days with some of our relatives, including my grandmother's sister and some cousins. Few years ago when we visited Cingjing, we only got a road-view room and it wasn't very impressive, but this time everybody got mountain-view rooms because that was what rooms of Europe Villa http://www.villa.club.tw/ only got. The owner of the villa was a Christian, and he happens to know a priest who was also known by our relatives, so that made all of us friends, and they greeted us with hospitality.

Charlie Charlie Charlie

A few new pic of my dog Charlie and a stray cat which lives on our doormat. As many people who only saw Charlie when we first got him, you may be very surprised by how huge he gets now. Well, we didn't really call him "huge" in the first place, only "a little fat", but after countless of guests exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! He is so huge! Is he really a Chihuahua?", we had to admit that he is overweight. To go into whys and wherefores of this matter, I have to blame my mom, who thinks that pet should live happier by eating more delicious food than dog food, so she always likes to add chicken or other meat to his dog food. I try to convince her that Charlie will be happier if she could spend more time playing with him and give him a healthier life so he won't have to suffer all those medicine treatments and injections when he gets old. Now I try to walk him as much as I can when I'm still in Taiching, giving him more exercises. I always wonder a life without Charlie, and embarrassingly, it always bring me to tear (ha ha). Well I quess he will live for still a long time (hopefully), so I don't need to worry about that for now.
