Cook

When I was in Taiwan, my mother always cooked for me. I seldom went to kitchen to cook myself. Even though my mother was not at home, it was very convenient to buy food near home. After I went to New York to live myself, it is so expensive to eat outside, and sometimes I miss my homemade food. I decided to learn how to cook and I found it was not a hard thing. I like to toast bread with ham and cheese or with peanut butter as my breakfast. And I tried to make Chinese food such as minced beef with tofu, fried bacon with cabbage, soup with chicken and Chinese mushroom, vegetable rice, and rice cake. If I don’t have much time, I can cook dumpling. I also make the sweet dumpling with sweet rice sauce and steam the bum as my dessert. When I write this articles, I suddently feel so starving. HA!!! I will go to eat something!!

Be celebrity is really good?

Recently, I heard some news about Britney Spears, a famous pop singer “before”. I am so sorry about she should enter a rehabilitation center because of her wired way these days. After she became famous around the world, there were always a lot of paparazzi around her. She always has a lot of negative news, including her love story with other famous singer, Justin, her marriage for a few hours, her second marriage with the other guy, and her bizarre action after divorcing, such as going to heavy parties, wearing no panties under her short skirts, and shaving her head and getting a new tattoo. I wonder you should pay the ultimate price if you are a celebrity. If I were her, I would choice be a normal person.

Union Nations

Today Chad took us to Union Nations, a place not belong to New York even U.S.A. But it is very important and special. Although Taiwan is not a member of Union Nations, the goals of Union Nations are all we want—peace and freedom. Who like War?? Teresa’s blog write something about Taiwan and China. Afterwards, some debate between Chad and Steven. Actually I don’t care what happen in the future. I just need the world will be peace in the future. A battle is cruel. A battle is cold-blooded.It will make you lose you family. It will make you lose you possession. Why we not negotiate by peace? I know the politics is complicated. But I WANT PEACE.
Bty, thanks Chad to take us to this special place again. What is the next place you can take us to?? HA!!

Is it a real snowstorm?

The weather forecast reported there was a snowstorm on Thursday or Wednesday. I expect it not only because the school will close class in these days but also because I never seen the heavy snow. I know it is not good news to some people. The snow storm will bring out a lot of trouble. I heard there were 25 people died in northern New York State becasue of the snow. But I still want to see a real snowstorm. On Wednesday, it really happened. Although the class were closed , I was so disappointed. At least in my house, the snow storm was not that thing I thought. I thought the snow will so heavy that you can't go out. But there was just a thin snow on the ground. However, the worst thing was it was suck cold when the ice melted, and I still need to go to school today.

YA!! Spring break is coming!!

Yes!! I know spring break was a long way off and we need to take mid exam before this holiday. I still expect it. My friend from Taiwan will come to see me. That is why I am so excited.
A lot of things we can do in New York. I want to see a great Broadway show!! I want to see a NBA game and a ice hockey game!! I want to go to Boston to eat lobster. I want to go to time square to experience New York life. Certainly, I will go to the status of liberty, although it is smaller than I thought!!Actually, the thing I expect most is to see heavy snow here because it never happened in Taiwan.
What do you suggest us to do??

On a diet

I hate American food. But I also like American food. I remembered that we done orientation when we came to school first day, the lunch is just a sandwich and chops. It was not a “real” meal in my mind. It just a sandwich!! I like to eat rice and hot soup as my mail so I cook myself everyday in American.

On the other hand, I found something I like in America—the cup of ice cream and peanut butter with chunk. Those are high calories food which will make you fat. I can finish a cup of ice cream in one day. I can eat half bottle of peanut butter without anything, like toast. It is terrible. I think I gained 2 or 3 kilograms these days. I am not sure. Maybe more. Actually ,I afraid to weigh. I don’t want to face the figure.

I need on a diet now. NO EXCUSES. The one thing I should do first is not to buy these trash food again.

I love my dear roommates

I have two roommates. I love them very much although we just knew less than one mouth.

One of them is from Taiwan. When we met first in our apartment, she looked so cool. We don’t talk too much, and then we dispersed to our room. On the other day, I cried in my room because I just arrived in New York and missed my parents so much. She gave me a note through the crack. She wrote she could talk to me if I felt lonely. I felt so sweat and we started our relationship at that time.

One of the other is from Japan. She just moved into our apartment last week. There is always a sweet smile on her face. The day before yesterday, after I finished my class and cooked in the kitchen, she talked to me enthusiastically. We done a lot of cultural exchanges between Taiwan and Japan, including food, movies, and so on. I think it is also a good opportunity to practice my English. We talked almost one and half hours, the longest time I spoke others in English since I gone to New York. HA!!

I know that living with strangers is a tough thing. But how lucky I was!! I have two lovely roommates.

My room

When I get St John's acceptance letter, I am worried about where I live in New York. My friend told me there was a available room downstairs her apartment. I decided to rent it although I never seen the apartment.


I like my apartment when I first seen it. It is a three-room apartment. I live in the largest one and I have my own bathroom. There is a little balcony outside my room and I can see a beautiful view, a park with green meadow, blue sky with little cloud, and a free trees. Especially after snow, it is another beautiful scenery.


I should share kitchen and living room with my roommates. Actually it is not a bad thing. I like to cook with my roommates and have dinner with them. We always have happy time when we eat together. Let make me not to feel lonely in New York.

I like my room. Even though it is small, it is comfortable, warm and with love.
