Bucket List


I haven't written my blog for almost 1 month. Recently I have done my first plan,pass the EAP, however, I would rather not know what I am done than I studied hard. Today, just like before, I finished my homework and started watching the movie, Bucket List today tonight.

In this movie, there is one of my favorite movie stars, Morgan Freeman. He is a classic actor in Hollywood. In addition, he always plays the role of the movie that is lifelike and move you. Return to this movie, many people spend all the time at work in the liftime, however most people don't realize that time goes by rapidly and they almost don't find what they want, what is the most important thing in their life.

Unfortunately, it seems to happen on me right now. Like in the fog, sometimes I just forget what I am doing and just rush to nowhere. Especially finishing some exams, yes yes my target is studying master degree and finding a good job. I think that is the time to write down my bucket list. You know, you are luck, I am luck, because we haven't suffered from any terminal diseases. We don't need to hurry and finish our goals.

Now and then, we just want to stay constant to keep anything familiar. Is that a good idea? It's full of adventure in my life, I love to and I want to. In fact, when I was in junior high school student, I knew I had official characteristic, it means the person who like making his life stable and safe. Until now, I would still like to revise it. Anything you want to do, just do it! And then give your destiny to God. Despite adverse circumstance usually comes, don't be afraid of that. I belive if I surpass that, I will become one of the successful person in the world.

Amazing Love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTCLw1L_YFc&feature=related
It's my favorite song.^_^

I’m forgiven, because you were forsaken
I’m accepted, you were condemned
I’m alive and well, you’re spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

I’m forgiven, because you were forsaken
I’m accepted, you were condemned
I’m alive and well, you’re spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be
that you my king would die for me
Amazing love, I know it’s true
It’s my joy to honor you
Amazing love, how can it be
that you My king would die for me
Amazing love, I know it’s true
It’s my joy to honor you
In all i do i honor you

I’m forgiven, because you were forsaken
I’m accepted, you were condemned
I’m alive and well, you’re spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

Relax Before EAP




Today, I want to share my feeling in the past few days. Finally, I passed the fucking examiantion. And now, it is a whole new milestone on my studying. Before this course, I went to a crazy party and Church for releasing myself.

In the Japanese Party, this was my first time to see the Japanese who were so crazy in the party. In fact, I had known that Japanese enjoyed making or going to the party. However, this time, WOW, Cool....ha. Firstly, I wanted to make a party to celebrate our passing the exam, so I invited some of my friends to come to my sharehouse. A Japanese friend, Yusuke, he also would make a party next day. Therefore, I discussed with him and changed my plan that we combined two parties to one day. The location was in his house.

In this party, there were Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean and Thai. It was very appropriate to practice our English. Tasting the Thai food was the most impressed of this party. Bravo!!! I hadtasted Thai food in Taiwan, but I felt sour and spicy. Therefore, I didn't have any good feeling on Thai food. However, my Thai classmates really changed my mind. He is a very good chef and has a part-time job in the restaurant in Australia. That's truly good!!!



In the end of the party, we had had a little bit drunk. And Japanese were getting excited. They started talking about everything, such as girls and some funny things, ha...... as well as became crazy. How crazy it is?! They stripped off all their clothes> <



Every Sunday, I usually go to the Church in the QUT. I suggest many friends to come with me, because I think it's absolutely proper to practice English, on the other hand, there is a good music band and I love to listen to their performance. What a marvellous!!! I will put the Video on my Blog, enjoy it.^_^

Easter In Australia



Parade for Easter !!!!





Easter in Australia, it is a special day to me, because I have never participate before. In fact, My friend and I was going to a Japanese party. When I was on the bus, my friend called me and said, Kevin! hurry up! Today, in the city, there was a big parade. And I said to my friend, took a photo and I was on my way!!!

The police had already blocked many streets for passing of the procession. That was stunning! I have never seen this occasion, so I was just rushing to find my friend and taking a lot of pictures in the motion. I thought this parade had proceeded for around 30 minutes. However, this 30 minutes had let me feel that there was still some fascinated things in Aussie...ha.



During this parade, my friend and I took lots of photos. Furthermore, my friend wanted to have a photo with Aussie girls, but I really didn't have this experince before. However, I truly admired my friend, Bernie. I told him there were two pretty Aussie over there, as well as he just asked me some English sentences and went chatting with those girls. How amazing! Those girls were very kind and took photo with him. HA~~therefore, I took a photo, too.




This is completely a magnificent day! Bernie is an auspicious guy! He just comes to Australia 1 month. However, he has seen something that I never see, I have been here 10 months==!. Moreover, We have a crazy party and marvellous Easter in Church, too. I will write down next time. ^_^

EAP~~~PASS, Next Different English Stage


During 15 weeks, I am in the GE course from Intermediate 1-5 to Upper Intermediate 1-5. In fact, I have lots of arguments in the QUT, in comparison with the Langports, my last language school, or the UQ, I am astonished to the QUT operation system. Neither business nor education is not prominent. Especially it is University.

On the other hand, I should be happy, because I made some appointment with the extraordinary manager and I complained a lot with him. It was not only complaint but also improvement. How come? That's because I have capability to discuss with an English speaker. Maybe I should be proud of that. In addition, I didn't prepare for the IELTS in the QUT, but I got 5.5 on average, particularly Speaking 6.5 and Writing 6.0. I am recovering my confidence on IELTS. Therefore, if I would have failed the EAP entry exam, I would focus on IELTS and get the best scores to apply the UQ.

Sometimes faith gives us another chance to find our exits. In spite of many weaknesses in this environment, we still need to overcome that, because we chose that and we have to be adapted. I have to admit that I complained too much before. Now maturation and flexibility both are what I need to learn. Furthermore, I think I still need to practise English everyday. Next Stage, EAP is another difficult milestone.

Time goes by quickly. How to think, how to do, somstimes it just flicks up and everything will be different. It is a really adventure in my life. However, I indeed have gotten some strengths from Australia. Plan always can not catch up with Change. I hope I can just follow my feeling and get a good futhre in my lifetime.

Another Stage one by one

Finishing again, I have just finished the Intermediate 6-10 course last Friday. In the meantime, my friend who was from Thailand also graduated.

In fact, I cared about the result a little bit in this time, because of the boring General English course. I have been repulsing that for a long time, so this time, I really wanted to change to next stage and I hoped I can learn more and more different English. However, I really loathe caring for any grades in the class. Learning English happily, it's important to me, because it can let me study much better. Unfortunately I stay in that environment, so I have to be adapted. Finally I passed to next stage. I am looking forward to seeing what I can get in the Upper-Intermediate couse.
.
Today I have a lunch with PAT. Normally, I will go to the church every Sunday. For this church, I really want to introduce all of my friends to participate in there with me. I am not asking people to be a Christian, but it truly is a good place to practise your English. First time I came to that place, I thought there was a Church, just a church. It was located in the QUT, Kelvin Grove Campus, which I have been studying there, so I was a little bit surprised. In the buliding, it's just like a concert hall not church. As well, a live band was performing. I love their songs and lyrics, because it's gorgeous. After that, I go to there every Sunday for chatting with Australian and music.
.
I apologize for staying from the point...ha...PAT.^^!!! He will fly to Thailand at 11:00PM. He is a good boy and he has a great aptitude. APTITUDE this vocabulary also he taught me. He intends to have a pilot examination this month. I really hope he will have a good result. By the way, don't forget driving us to go abroad.^_^
.
Tomorrow, a new start. God bless us.^_^

Chinese New Year Eve in Aussie

Goodness!!! It's the first time I am not staying with my family. I just finished phoning to my parents. It is the holiday beginning in Taiwan now, so I am a littile bit alone in Aussie. Although I can hear from people that there are many celebrations in China Town or Sunny Bank( Little Taipei ), I still prefer living in Taiwan rather in Aussie.


However, my sharemate, Carol, and I have been making a Hot Pot Party in our House. We invited our own classmates and went to buy some ingredients of Hot Pot in supermarket. Unfortunately, it was raining cats and dogs after school. Therefore I called Carol and asked her if we made a party today or not. Unexpectedly, she told me that it wasn't raining in the city. Suddenly, I made up my mind to continue this plan.

Aussie bus system always confuses me by their punctual conception and manners. In Taiwan, if the drivers have been seeing you running to catch up the bus. They certainly would stop and wait for you. I have never ever seen this circumstance in Aussie. Even I was one of the victims. Once...oh no...twice, I had arrived a bus station at 8:10am, but it was really exaggerated that the electronic board showed buses' arrival time 8:15, 8:20, 8:30, 8:40am. All of them weren't coming until an office lady called the Transportation. Few minutes later, they sent another bus there. Today I confronted the same condition again, so I went to the city late.

Eventually, we bought everything and cooked and ate in out house. In Taiwan, we need to have a dinner together. Therefore, we just set up this atmosphere of Chinese New Year Eve. It has been passing 12:00 to 7th Feb. In convention, we always hold our age until next day. In New Year have new hope, I will be better and better.^_^
