A spy and a haunting prediction
This confirmed spy case rings a bell in history. Shi Lang (施琅), a defector from Zheng Chenggong's court, ended a Taiwanese regime that he once had sworn loyalty to. This was cited in a speech where the speaker implied that, due to Taiwan's geographic location, history may very well repeat itself again.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shi_Lang

Retro: In this dark forest
On the edge of a humble pond, there is a fireball of many fireflies.
"How they glow in the dark!" marvels the bug, "me have not that light, and will never love or be loved?"
"Envy not." croaks the Invisible Toad, "See, this kind of love lies in glowing tails; once that's gone, nothing remains." And beneath that elusive ball of glow and row, struggle quite a lot who's lost that gloss.
"Besides," while munching on his new catch, adds this ugly crawler, "in this dark forest, a torch burning bright tempth all too many vicious fangs and a sticky tongue."

cold cold cold
搭上最近的流行感冒,工作告一段落,下班後想到診所拿藥,門外就看到人山人海的一群男女老少,全都在等著醫師診斷--個個流鼻水,咳呀咳的。家中二個小朋友,前陣子有打預防疫苗,身體反應還算好。診所外又有寒流要來,今年冬天,真是冷哦。

家庭修繕 DIY 網站
打算在春節前,更換衛浴廚房內維修多次或用不順手的設備-列了清單,也上網估價,其中有個網站http://fix.housefun.com.tw/ 詳細的將各項問題分門別類,提供影片示範如何處理家中的修繕問題。左側的產品,是在特力屋,推銷員手上買的<多益得水垢鏽斑清洗劑>。效果很好－浴厠內累積很久,化學系的清潔劑清不乾淨的黃垢,五分鐘內清潔溜溜,還浴室厠所原來乾淨面目。更棒的是,這種清洗劑沒有化學清潔劑的嗆鼻氣味和危險性。無論是平時的清掃或年終大掃除,它絶對是個好幫手。

Nietzsche, needs no translation
Good news to those who're busy and couldn't spare time to read a thick book. This documentary gives the gist of a philosopher thinking in 50 minutes. Good presentation and analytical sharing from those who have studied Friedrich Nietzsche make this a treat for the mind.

Strawberry season
The weather is getting colder and strawberries are just in season. A neighbor sent his daughter to share this news: their first harvest was ready. Joy and Lisa, our daughters, got to share their happiness and the fresh taste of this year's strawberry - not from the supermarket, but from our very own small gardens.
This tiny patch of strawberries has been a daily topic of our family talk. Our kids, especially the elder one, enjoys watching flowers coming into red strawberries. That berry from our neighbor's kept her smiling all afternoon. Soon, it will be our turn to bring fresh berries to visit our neighbors.

Retro: It's Monday morning
On this wall, there is this painting, 'Monday Morning.' In this picture, there are travelers, on saddles, beside beasts of burden, next to a well, all readying themselves for the journey ahead. In the background is a murky blend of dimly-lit sky, fading stars and a vast dessert. Although everything seems hazy and unsure, there is something inexplicable shinning in the faces of these travelers, something all living needs, besides a map and a prayer, to carry out a day's pursuit. It's Monday morning, and it's time to begin. (Dec 17 2000)

This little charity drive
It is the day before Christmas, and students in the classroom respond to that charity call inside their textbook, Unit 02, The Chain of Love. Each of them not only has learned a touching lesson, but also decided to give their best wishes to help those in need. So happy to see kids share with others; after all, it is the spirit of Christmas.

草莓＋蚯蚓
難得的假日，有機會將房裏雜物、心裏的雜事來整理清理。天氣變冷了，衣櫃的短衣收入箱子，換上適合冬天的排列組合。跑了趟萬和宮旁的種子行，帶回二包培植土和小朋友愛的草莓植株；有幾位社區內的爸爸們表示，在家門前種二排草莓，可比全家人開車塞在往大湖的路上值得。也順便按著網路上的教學步驟，把家裏淘汰的大垃圾箱重新整理，變成蚯蚓的家。 它應該可以消化菜葉、果皮廚餘或是冰箱內過期的水果。

the flimsy excuse
How I admire historians' candid comments and cold analyses of those who couldn't counter,
Envious of those who possess the power to gossip and rumor, and to get away with it all;
Tonight, Muse has found me again with thoughts unspeakable, palpable only inside -
Long I mourn my sister's sad departure, and yet flinch at the approach of a live one
Again recall Mother's lullaby in dreams, yet shy away from her frailty when it's alight
Father's voice is a cold wall for any attempts made during those sporadic nights
With a family of my own, between the joy of being a father and tear of a son astray,
How I long to share this moment of peace with Mom and Dad, with my only sister now;
And you see how ghosts that haunt me - gossiping tongues, a heavier yoke, and what
Money, if only i could have more, then predicaments would vanish, would go away
Alas, alas , now you see the flimsy excuse I have been holding on.
