What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Translate (translation)

Time seems to be less ever since I return to Taiwan. Maybe because of the earlier sunset, or maybe the television shows are just way too interesting. Anyway, I like Taiwan. Furthermore, it is spring with sun shining and nice weather, which gives people a refreshing sensation.

Now, not only do I type in Chinese, I type old-fashion Chinese. I bet there will be a decline in number of loyal readers visiting my blog. As safety precaution, I shall provide translation from today onwards. Sigh~ why don’t you people learn your Chinese well? Haha… :P My Chinese is not exactly fantastic as well lar.

I feel lethargic thinking of the need to translate. Forget it, I will write more when I feel like it, or I get more inspiration in my head.

翻譯

回來台灣不知怎麼地時間好像變少了。可能是因為太陽早了一小時下山，或者是因為台灣電視節目實在太精彩了。不管如何，我還是喜歡台灣，更何況現在恰好是春天，陽光普照、風光明媚，令人心曠神怡‧

現在我不僅打的是華文，又是繁體字，會繼續當我網誌的忠實讀者注定每況愈下。我看為了安全起見，從今以後我還是打一篇華文，一篇翻譯。嘆~~你們的華文基礎為什麼就不打好一點呢？ 哈哈~~(伸舌頭) 我的華文基礎也不怎麼樣。

想到要翻譯，我就意興闌珊了。算了，等我有靈感、心血來潮的時候再写多一點吧!

I'm in Taiwan

And so I'm back home.

Read "Brokeback mountain" during my plane ride here. It is actaully one of many short stories in the book "close range". Everyone should read it, it's no more than 30 pages.

Feeling how terrible an over-conservative society can strike on a harmless minority group. We should learn to tolerate different kinds of people if we want to move towards a mature future.

Then I feel so lucky to be living in Taiwan, which is the most free place in this world. You can castigate the president and you'll be absolutely fine. You can tell a big lie to the public and no one will charge you. Hahaha...such a fun place with freedom of speech, thought, etc.

I was quite pissed reading the e-mail just now because someone wrote to me,"... ...Taiwan part of China yah :)". Don't like to start politics in my blog. Just that I haven't got angry for like, 5 years already? Hahaz...last time I got angry was someone squashed my project prototype under a soccer ball in secondary school. Hmmm... getting angry now makes a rare record.

So, never bring up sensitive issues during conversation such as politics, religion, height, weight and salary. You'll be shooting yourself in the toes if you do so.

I've blogged in English again because people are happy I blog in english =) I like people to be happy.

I think therefore I blog

Due to incredibly high-demand, I shall blog in English, for once. Do cheer alright?

Let me tell you why blogs die off. Noticed that people use blog as their personal diaries, except that they are not so personal to the extent of giving away private issues. At first, the blog is full of drive, cheerfully recording down what an eventful day they had. Their friends read with glee and respond with playful comments. This sense of blogging-excitement last for quite a while, exactly like the excitement found in a newly formed couple who first held hands. However, when the novelty wears off, people start to question the reason to update their blogs consistently. Is it so important to keep friends constantly updated when it seems more meaningful to meet up once in a while? This exhibitionist world of blogging soon evolved to be a parasite feasting on their souls. Soon, the result, a stagnant blog.

If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll see I’ve been siding towards expository essays. When you write your opinions rather than yourself, you’ll feel a greater sense of accomplishment. Cyberspace is like a massive body of seawater. If you kept on throwing part of yourself into this gigantic structure, you’ll feel tired and lethargic soon enough. When you start contributing ideas rather than giving yourself away, you feel your purpose in this enormous terrain populated by known/unknown people. Never stand by the seashore and allow heartless tides strike on your body, devouring bits and pieces of you. Construct a boat and set sail.

The above is merely my theory, feel free to disagree.

So do you see the reason I blog in Chinese? I can’t write good English expository essay.
