Place I want to go --- Swiddish

The other place I want to go is Swiddsh. Because friends told me that it's really beautiful there, and they even showed me the whole set of photos they took in Swiddish.
I want to see the spectacular lights there, and the galciers.
What interests me most is the ice hotel. Every year, they build the hotel once again. In the hotel, everything is made of ice, including beds, pillows, cups, tables, chandeliers, and lamps. You may think that people must be frozen staying in the ice hotel, but as thoughtful as them, they provide hot spring service outdoor. As long as you write down your name and the room number you are staying in, you can get a huge wooden tub and clean hot towels. You can look at the spectacular lanscape while enjoying the comfortable bath.
There are still many other places I would like to visit, and I will discuss them in my next article, so just look forward to it!!!

The Forbidden Kingdom

I went to this movie last weekend after school, and I ate at Friday for supper.
(As i typed this sentence, my keyboard fell down , and it scared me extremely.)
In the beginning, I had interests in this movie only because of the cast. The Forbidden Kingdom starred Jackie Chen, Jet Lee, Yi-Fi Liu, and Bing- Bing Lee, and I really like the two actresses in the film. I didn't spend any time figuring out what the movie was talking about before I bought the tickets, and this rarely happens to me.
Fortunately, the movie didn't let me down, and I think it was really good! The story started in a Chinatown in the U.S. A gang violently rubbed money from an Chinese old man, who got shot after he hit the gangster from behind. Before he fainted away, he gave a golden stick to an American teenager and told him to return it to the true master of it. To escape from the gangster, the teenager accidentally fell down from the roof of a tall building and returned to the acient China.
He met Jackie Chen, Jet Lee, and Yi-Fi Liu on his way, and the four of them teamed up on the search of the bad king. Jackie Chen and Jet Lee taught him lots of kung-fu on the way, and he became strong. After really hard efforts, they finally arrived at the palace which the bad king lived, where they killed the king together and returned the golden stick to its true master.
The mission done, he returned to where he came from with the help of the god, and the time hasn't pass at all. The only thing which has been changed was that he already learned lots of kung-fu, so he fought away the gangster and saved the old man's live.
Although I could predict the ending since the beginning, I still considered it an excellent film!!!

Going Aboard

I went to Taipei and had dinner with an old friend who studies in National Taiwan University now. We used to be best friend in junior high school and high school, however, after we both entered college, we found that there wasn't enough time for us to keep in touch with each other as often as we thought it should be.
We decided to fo aboard this summer vacation, and this was a dream unfinished duing last summer vacation. We only went to Taipei for three days last summer, because we thought that we would not be so interested in traveling in Taipei after college, after all, both of us study in Taipei and are familiar with it now. This turned out to be the wise choise, but in that way, we lost out chances to go aboard.
Thus, we want to finish our dream this summer, and we decided to go to Australia and New Zealand in the middle of July. I am looking forward to it NOW !!!

Apologize

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down,
but waitYou tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say
That it's too late to apologize,
it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize,
it's too lateToo late,
ohI'd take another chance,
take a fallTake a shot for you
And I need you like a heart
needs a beatBut it's nothing new,
yeah yeah
I loved you with a fire red,
now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the angel,
heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize,
it's too late
I said
it's too late to apologize,
it's too late,
whoa whoa
It's too late to apologize,
it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize,
it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize,
yeah(Too late)
I said it's too late to apologize,
yeah(Too late)
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground

Another song I crazily fell in love with recently. The singer has a very beautiful voice.

Bleeding Love

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen
But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy
But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open
and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling
But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy,
maybe, maybe
But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see
I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open
and I Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

This is a song I frequently listen to recently, because i think that Leona Lewis sings really beautifully. And the rhythem is really unique.

Sunday night

Last weekend I went back to Taichung, and I traveled with Taiwant high speed railway. The passengers were so many that I had no place to stand but to stand beside the door, and it was really uncomfortable. Fortunately, it only took thirty-five minutes to get to the station from Taichung.
After I arrived, I went to the airport to watch airplanes take off, and the planes were so close! There was a cafe called The Third Terminal, and I like this name very much. This made me think of the movie "The Terminal" starring Tom Hanks. I like Tom Hanks very much since the movie" The Da Vinci Code." Although these are two totally different movies, I still fell in love with both of them, and I can't tell which one do I love more.
For dinner, I went to Blue Coconut. It's a beautiful restaurant with a enormous garden, and the building is spectacular, too. However, the way to the restaurant was a little bit scary, because it was very dark and few cars drove by. Were it not signs were put on every lamp, I would strongly doubt that we were on the wrong way.
In conclusion, that was a fantastic Sunday night, and I am already looking forward to next Sunday night .

Happy Birthday

In my childhood, my mother pushed me to some classes that I didn't really like. For instance, piano classes, swimming classes, and English classes. However, life always changes in a strange way. What I learned in these classes have become things I like to do most now.
I remembered that I seldom practiced playing piano, because I don't like to play the same one for so many times, and that made me feel really boring. My piano class was scheduled on every Friday night, and I crazily practiced playing the piano as soon as I got home from school until the class began. This kind of practicing method usually didn't word well.
For swimming class, I didn't like to go swimming before because I considered it a tiring class, and everytime I went home from the class, I was exhausted! However, it has developed into my hobby now, and I believe that it will be a hobby of a lifetime.
I didn't like to go to English class because I think it deprived of my leisure time. But I love reading English novels and listening to English songs now. Everytime I find a new book, the first thing I will do is not to buy it home but to search on net for an English version. It's a pity that I don't read much since I started my college life, but I'm working hard to maintain this hobby!
I really appreciate my mom now, and I want to wish her "Happy Birthday." I will love you for a lifetime!!!
