Outstanding Champion Golfer

I have been watching news about our outstanding champion golfer who is Tseng, Yani. She has already won forth games of the world in a row. When I watched TV, I was very excited and I felt so happy for her. To be honest this is quite a honer for everyone in Taiwan. Especially, she is the first Taiwanese to achieve this great victory as she is only twenty- two years old.

She was born in Guishan township of Taoyuan, Taiwan.  In 2007, she turned professional in January and competed on the Asian Golf Tour and she won DLF Women’s Indian Open. She also competed on the CN Canadian Women’s Tour and she won the CN Canadian Women’s Tour at Vancouver
Golf Club. Since then she has been doing great and won some games and money prize. This year she is even better than before because she has won four times in a row. Now, she is in Singapore to challenge the fifth games to break her record to go for the biggest dream of her.

Because of her, I learn more about golf and I enjoy watching golf games, too. I read some articles and watched some interviews of her, and I found she is a very modest and hard working player. She is always smiling when she plays games or having interviePws on TV. It makes me like her more and admire her,too. I really hope she will come true her dream to won the world champion. No matter she wins or loses, I believe everyone is already proud of her.

Long Time No See Friend

Several years ago, I made a lots of friends in Australia when I studied in Melbourne. There was a friend I remembered the most because I had learnt a lot from her and I had a good time with her, too. She is a
quite independent girl with a outgoing character. Moreover, she is just only one year older than me.She knows her goal and keeps going to go for it that I admire her the most.

The first time I met her was in English class. She was introduced by my teacher because we were both from Taiwan. I still remembered that the first impression of her was very cool even a bit cold. However, after few times meeting, I felt that  she was not that cool but nice. Especially, after a long time studying, we became friends even often visiting her homestay. We often went out together and chatted a lot about our lives. As time went by, we developed a good friendship. Before I came back to Taiwan, we had a few days trip together in Victoria. It was an unforgettable experience and trip because we planed on our own and we traveled by backpack. It was an adventure for me and I started loving to travel by backpack.

After coming back to Taiwan, we only met once in Taiwan and we seldom contacted with each other by email. She is still going for her dream in Australia now. Although we do not know or contact now, I still hope she will be fine and has a good job in Australia. I think you may have a lot of friends in your life, some you may still keep in touch with but some you may only being together for a short time. No matter what, to be friends once is the best gift for me.

Egypt's Revolution

There were big international news in January to draw us attention which was Egypt's revolution. I could watch it on TV every day, and there were different stories and new developments happening there. Egypt is located at North Africa and the capital city is Cairo. There was a person who is Wael Ghonim, an executive of Google, inspired lots of people regarding as a hero of Egypt's revolution.


Tunisia is a neighbor country of Egypt and the revolution in Tunisia seemed to trigger Egyptians wakened.  There were thousands of protesters in Cairo to call for the end to the rule of President Hosni Mubarak. He has been autocratic ruling Egypt for 30 years; however, the economics has not improved and people couldn't satisfied with it. Moreover, President Hosni Mubarak's family has lots of estates in foreign countries. It led Egyptians to fight for their future and freedom. Especially, a hero who is Wael Ghonim, was detained by Egyptian authorities because he is behind the Facebook page that helped spark "the revolution of the youth of the internet. Because of him, there were more and more people were going to the street to demonstrate.

Finally, Mr. Mubarak resigned and turned over all power to the military on Feb. 11, 2011. It was a victory for Egyptians although it is still a long way to go. Furthermore, it wakes Arab World, because other countries are carrying on the spirit to fight for their human rights and freedom.

My Sister's Keeper

"My sister's keeper" is my second novel of English version but it is the first novel of English version that I finished reading. I remember that I bought it at last winter vacation and I was complete reading in last December although I did not know lots of medical terms and vocabulary of the book. I pretty like this author whose name is Jodi Picoult because I am reading another novel of her now. The first time I saw this novel at the bookstore but I did not buy it. After a year, I was looking for a novel of  English version, so I decided to but it as my collection.

The story is about a young girl who is Anna has undergone countless surgeries, transfusions, and shots for her older sister, Kate, who diagnosed leukemia from her childhood. The product of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, Anna is also conceived as a bone marrow match for Kate. All of these make her question who she truly is, so she makes a decision to hire a lawyer to against her parents' plan for donating a kidney to Kate. Due to this decision, her family is facing apart and possibly having fatal consequences for the sister she loves.

I like a way of the author's writing which is separate describing every character's feeling and emotion. I can not say that Anna's mom is selfish because she just does the thing which every mother in the world will do. Anna is also brave enough to fight for her right and to say the truth to her parents. At the end of the story, Anna passes away which is really sad; however, it brings a chance for her family to heal the break and to unify again. It is really a touched and meaningful story for me to think about it.

The Reunion of Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is a quite big festival for Chinese people and my family is not the exception. I remember that my older sister and I are very busy at this special holiday every year because we are normally in charge of preparing and purchasing all the stuff and food which we need at Chinese New Year. However, my oldest sister and her children stayed with us this year, so we were less busy and tired. In addition, I was also looking forward to having our reunion of my family. To be honest, this is the important day of a year for me because every member will come back to have lunch and chat together.

As usual, we contacted with our auntie because she is the host of our reunion of Chinese New Year every year. My auntie is like my mom in some ways although she does not our relative. However, we regard her as our family's friend and senior. We had a family reunion on the third of January of lunar calendar at Kanghwa hotel. We had a very big lunch and sang karaoke there. As years go by, there are five children in my family now, so it was quite cheerful and animated when they sang karaoke.  At the end of lunch, my sister usually prepared some scratch-off tickets to entertain and this was the highlight of our reunion.  I was lucky because I won seven hundreds dollars by two scratch-off tickets.

After lunch, everyone came back to our house to continue our chatting and  out of our expection, my auntie joined us this year. We were glad to have her to visit our place, otherwise she usually went back to her home after lunch. I am always very happy at a reunion because every member can gather together  and share or chat their recent developments which make us closer. As age goes by I do not really like Chinese New Year; however, I do look forward to having our reunion every year.
