We Still Believe

Each hobby has their time-limit. Some of them are just tried in some of our particular period. The club would be the best example for it. Lots of people wouldn’t persist of their hobby of club when they had graduated, even when we were in the upper grade. Some of my hobby might be the good example also, such as I haven’t put too much emphasis on writing program when I had graduated from senior high school. However, I think the music wouldn’t be another example, even though I had ever thought I would give up in the past.

I think I didn’t have enough groundwork when I had started to tried it. When I was a freshman, I hadn’t played the piano for a long time. I had learned guitar a little. There were not too many ideas when I joined the digital music club or guitar club. Being good at design might be the most important reason which made me confidence. Nevertheless, I spent lots of time on practicing these musical instruments in the beginning. First, I had to be familiar with piano which I had learned when I was a child. And then, learning the guitar well could make me compose pop music quickly. Finally, I began to learn drum because I wanted to learn more musical style thorough. By the way, the drummer is the most important in a band in my mind, so I took this position. However, these would be only the skill of each musical instrument. How to compose was still a big mission. Few books are talking about it, but I don’t know why. As a result, we had to listen to lots of music and analyzed other score. The only thing we could do was to imitate their works. Of course, it was impossible that our works would be as good as theirs.

Do What I Want

It was the end of October, the second month of this semester. We are at the last stage when we have been a student. What is the next would not be known certainly for anyone. Each has their own plan, something good or bad. In the past, we always aspired the opportunely to choose, or on the other words: hope. What kind of person we are have been decided by what we do in the past. Similarly, what kind of person we want to be would be decided by what we do or we are going to do. Above all, these months, the time we would choose our future, will be more important. The life nowadays of me could talk this truth.

Enjoy the life and work hard at the same time do not always conflict each other. We have to love something when we are going to do. Though, some works would be just a work, not the interests. How to love your work would be more important than just finish them. No one knows what the only truth in the world is, but we can choose a belief or a philosophy by you. And then follow them. I believe the life next year would be changed surely. I don’t know it would be better or worse than the life nowadays. However, what kind of life in the future can be decided by what we do now. When we got older, we will want to enhance something we good at instead of extending the rage of domain. Each chosen has own reason. All reason follows different viewpoint and values.

Taipei World Design Expo

In recently, the most important activities in Taipei might be the Taipei World Design Expo. It has been held since last week and it would be until the end of this month. It was an expo which exhibits all kinds of design, including interior design, poster design or the most of, Industrial design. I had been looking forward to this expo for a long time. Even, it is free for everybody. Thus, I decide to go to see this expo this week with my classmate of junior high school. This exhibition venue is near our neighborhood. The day we went to was not a holiday, so there would not be too crowded. When we had arrived there, we still see lots of people falling in line in front of each hall. Thus, we made some plan and then join the other people.

The first one we enter was about the architecture and interior design. It doesn’t exhibit the real stuff or model. They just put a poster to introduce instead. Though, much of them we haven’t heard of before, their works was very famous. Some of them are the landmark of city or some might be in the part of our life, such as eslite bookstore. We can know each of their thinking when they design each of their works. And then, the second hall we went to a one with poster. All of them are in our life, but we haven’t noticed them before. For example, the movie posters, CD packages, or even the cover of books was exhibit in this hall. Sometimes, they might just be a subordinate role, but a good subordinate role could make the production well certainly. The third one, we visited some handicrafts. The line of this hall would be the longest one. However, we don’t think it would be as good as we had imagined. It displays many handicrafts from each country. As a result, we could enjoy many kinds of style at one time. However, it is hard to understand which the relationship between these works is. By the way, the idea of these handcrafts would not state well.

In The Memory

Though, the new semester have been probably a month, I was live in Taipei most of my time. As a result, I want to know and understand about my neighborhood again. Just like the time when I lived in Hsinchu. I made the life simpler, sports and music included. I want my life would like the past when I was junior high school student. For example, I like to listen to some old music or go to somewhere I used to in the past.

Military housing in Xinyi might be a good example to cherish the memory of.

I still remember that it was used when I was child. It was so crowded that we had never what had happened in the house. It was like another world in the city. It was very strange because it was hard to connect with the environment. However, the government also noticed these problems. The military housing would be pull down due to the new city developed plan. I think the works had been done about nine years ago. It was reformed to a park and museum. It exhibited lots of stuff about the military house in the past. By the way, they still retain some represently house. Thus, these old house might become a part of park. Although, it was kinds of department in Xinyi, but build a place to relax would be a good idea for city life. I remember that our art teacher in junior high school sometimes would take us to there to sketch. It was a difficult mission for us at that time, because the Taipei 101 was near there. How to put them in the same frame was not easy for us.

Plan B

It is the third week of this semester. All of activities had been finished, Triathlon, course choosing included. It means that it would be the second stage of my life of this semester. From now on, I only have to go to school twice a week since I only have few credit points. Fortunately, all of these courses are on Monday and Tuesday only. However, I would not join much of extracurricular activities like before. Our team of department might practice on Wednesday, so I could not follow them certainly. Our band might practice on the Friday night, so I should withdraw from them necessarily. As a result, I took two part of life due to two different places. Something I do at Hsinchu would be done at Taipei.

I know the different environment would make different life style all along, so I followed this rule to make my new plan. First all of, I only can practice drum at Hsinchu, so I practice acoustic guitar at Taipei. On the other hand, I would put my electric guitar at my dorm because I might record some music someday which I couldn’t do at home. For sports, I wouldn’t be really sure presently. I can spent a lot of time practicing basketball at Taipei, but I don’t know how good it is I practice baseball or swimming at which place. Finally, I would study different subject when I would be at school or home. I only have one course of our department this semester. I hope I could study them well only on Monday, because I don’t want to bring the notebook or textbook back to home. Similarly, I hope I can review the subject which we have learned before at home. On the other hand, I would study lots of history, military affairs and English for these free months. Briefly, I hope my life would be simple and I can only follow these biggest topics in my life: learning (natural science and Social sciences), sports and music. There might be a lot of activities at school because it is the last year of our collage life. Nonetheless, the highest goal should put the strongest will. I expect I can do that.
