Move to New Room.

Since I live in the dormitory, so I have to move my stuff to another room, even I still have to live in the dormitory, according to the rules. Actually, there are small amount of people, maybe about 300 people who has to live in the dormitory in this summer vacation, but the Dormitory Committee allowed only 3 hours for us to move our stuff, and all the elevators of this dormitory are only three. More over, there is only one elevator can be from 12 floors where is my original room to 6 floor where is my new room, so moving my stuff cost me about 4 hours because so many people also have to take the same elevator, too.

Obviously, I got very tired after I finishing the moving thing. The worst new is that, I will have to move all my stuff again when the new semester is start. At that moment, I will be an intern as medical technologist, and I will be very busy. As long as I think about the situation of moving my stuff when I am an intern, I feel very tired and lazy. I hope that there will be less people to move in to the new room in the end of summer vacation.

I am wondering why Dormitory Committee allow such short time for us to move our stuff. Why don't they allow more time, maybe 24 hours. That will be great.

Changing Title of This Blog.

I changed the title of this blog from Relief Life to English@Life and Story because I want this blog to be a place for every one who want to practice English. I think that the more people practicing English together, the more things we can learn.

Also, I found a function of Blogger which is multiple authors. The max number of authors is 100 people. Therefore, if you want to share your experiences or practicing English together, please tell me, and I will add you as an author of English@Relief Life.

Exams are coming!!!



Recently, I have a lot of big exams. There are so many books to study, and I felt bored about them, so I decide to take a little rest, writing some thing on my blog. Actually, I am planning how to have fun after the exams. I will go to a fancy restaurant with all my roommates, and we will also celebrate one of my roommates who graduated from college this years, and will go to a graduate school in this August.


Also, I think I will want to have a job in this summer but I have not decided which kind of job will I want to take. In Kaohsiung, there are many bosses who pay their employee below the lowest salary which declared by laws. This is so unreasonable. I hope I can find a job which is payed above the lowest salary, or just the same with the lowest salary.

Then, good luck for my big exams!!!

I am Back to Blogger


In fact, I have this blog for a very long time because I am a google fan. That means I will try every services provided by google. The main reason to build up this blog is because that I want to have a place to practice my English. But at first, I don't thing that Blogger is a nice one because it doesn't have to many functions for me to use. Accidentally, I found a website, built by Blogger is very different. The owner of that blog make his (or maybe her) blog like a web site. Therefore, I google some extra javascript for Blogger, and the data are a lot.

By this reason, I decided to restart this blog, and make it different. Now, I think I have done 50% of them. And also, I will find more interesting javascript for Blogger to make my blog more interesting. By the way, the photo on the top is Taipei 101 which is the highest building in the world. And the picture in this article is taken at love river in Kaohsiung. There is really pretty at night.

Call Me Strawberry


Strawberry is a kind of fruit which is easy to get hurt. As everybody knows, strawberries cannot be pressed and put in an inappropriate environment. If you do so, strawberries would be rotten very soon. In Taiwan, people use strawberry to describe a person who cannot suffer pressure and adapt different environments. It seems like strawberry is a disparage word to describe some one. However, is that true?

In these days, the world change fast, and everybody should work harder than before to catch up the changing speed. Therefore people have to suffer more pressure to make themselves improve, otherwise they will be eliminated by times. These are thoughts of eastern people who afraid to lose to others since the day before world war two. At that moment, westerners were stronger than easterners, the former invented many weapons to conquer other countries of the latter. Easterners suffered not only pressure but also losing freedom from ruled by westerners, so easterners worked hard, trying to catch up even exceed westerners, in order to live in a comfortable life. There was only one country almost did so, it was Japan, but technically, they did not success.

In the eastern Asia, the thought of be better than others to live in a comfortable life has hand down to nowadays. People try to work very hard to exceed other so that they can live in a life of ruling others, not ruled by others. They think this kind of life is the greatest life. So, if you want to be better than others, you have to work harder. What if you want to be the best? Even working hardest cannot be proved to be the best. Some people worked very hard all of their life but cannot be the best. It tell us that being somebody is very difficult because somebody are only some of people can be. Therefore, to be the best is not the comfortable life for people to live.

Westerners found it hundred years ago, they raised up evolution of democracy fight for human rights after Industrial Revolution which is the time when people worked very hard. After the democracy evolution succeeded, people can live in a freedom, casual life. In Taiwan, people live in this kind of life will be called strawberry because they only do what they like, what they want. Most of people think that there is only work hard to catch up the advanced country, but they forget that why the advanced countries called advanced is because people in advanced countries have more human rights, and can do what they want, what they like in their countries, but work hard all days. The time of Industrial Revolution had passed, and the time of human rights has came. If you still only work hard, it will not help your country improve.

In my opinion, we cannot say strawberry is a disparage or praise word. It's just a word which symbols human right. Strawberry is expensive, rare, and not easy to plant, just like our life which is priceless, none is the same, and not easy to take.
