Video for My Dearest Host Family in US ^^


I was sending this video to Jerimmy on 7/17, but no sure whether he got this or not, because it's 8 MBs. So upload to YouTube, though it's not that good quality, but if you need the original video, write me.

It takes many times to finally get this done. Kind of shy to speak in front of the webcam. However, it may be the only way that you guys can see me. Really miss you and take care.

Joining the Military

Gonna join the military on 10/25, 4 months after the graduation from the university. So far I feel ok, and don't worry much. It's probably becasue Sherlock, one of my friends who was also a Navy, told me pretty much about the life in the training center and what I needed to bring.

Besides, I have many American friends who join the military. For example, Anthonie Hoffman, going to Naval Academy, is now in the Marine Corp. Lydia Amarok, Li-Li, is having two-week training in Kuwait before foward operation base. Mr. Moore, my history teacher, was a soldier in Iraq. And there are more. I believe if they can make it, I would be surely fine with it, and no need mention that my grandfather was a veteran. I would be in the military for 1 year and 4 months for the longest, and maybe shorter, not sure yet.

Lastly, wish good luck to all my friends and myself as well. Take care!

Pohan or Bald Head ?!

Just shaved all my hair off yesterday, which should be the shortest hair that I ever had. It looks ok, but look better without glasses, or would look more dumb!

Haha, anyway, just shave it and get ready to join the navy on 11/25. Therefore, I won't update my blog and reply my emails often, but I would replay as soon as I can. Goodbye my friends! Take care.

系統思考與組織學習實驗場

到目前為止,已經修過楊碩英老師的「創意思考」、「系統思考」、和世珍學長帶的「系統動態分析」與「組織學習」,另外自己除了第五項修練,也從暑假開始閱讀「第五項修練實踐篇」和「變革之舞」,因為楊老師和世珍學長的啟蒙,所以對系統思考和組織學習領域有很大的興趣,覺得這些學問不只是對組織有幫助,對於自己了解自己人生的目的和人際溝通也可以運用,透過這個部落格「系統思考與組織學習實驗場」,希望把我對這兩個領域的所學和心得跟更多人分享,也算是作為自己學習的紀錄。

歡迎大家參觀,在當兵前會再多新增些文章。

祝學妹早日康復

昨天晚上失眠,直到兩點多才好不容易睡著, 今天一早中鋼的課又是八點半就開始,所以七點半強迫自己起床,整理一下,很快就去學校,很趕得買了米漿當早餐,中午剛好有免費便當,三點半上完課,和學長再聊一下,四點離開教室。

原本預計在認真一天後,到操場去跑跑步再回家,沒想到剛經過海水浴場門口,往操場的路上,剛好有個學妹騎車跌倒了,我不確定她是怎樣跌倒的,Anyway, 沒想到她竟然倒地不起,猶豫一下,還是趕緊去看看她有沒有怎樣,剛好遇到小橘,後面有幾個男生騎來似乎是她的同學,挺奇妙的是怎麼大家都問有沒有教官的電話,總感覺最重要的是叫救護車吧,所以我打電話給119,叫救護車,小橘試著找教官,至於學妹,頭還戴著安全帽,臉流血,手腳有擦傷,但不敢動她,因為不清楚是否有任何內傷。直到教官來,一直叫她,希望她能醒來,沒想到看著學妹臉上流血,看著看著突然覺得噁心,開始想吐,視線開始模糊,覺得要暈倒了,好險到旁邊坐著一下,稍微好一點,要不然教官應該傻眼,沒想到又突然有一個人倒下,這是繼我幾年前有一次生病,甚至一站起來就頭暈的情形是一樣的,嚇死我了。

之後學妹恢復意識,警察和救護車也來了,應該沒事吧,助她早日康復,雖然並不認識這位學妹。

這是我第一次在學校這麼親近事故現場,也許是我之前步調太快,沒有注意到類似的事。星期三一早要去上課的路上,前面的車突然煞車,我也緊急煞車,原本想說只是普通的煞車,沒想到前面的人突然往前飛出去,不確定是不是因為我稍微碰到他的車,後面的車也有幾台跌倒,不過我前面這個人似乎比較嚴重,坐在地上一陣子,原本一直看著他,心中也不確定是不是自己的錯,不過,還是先把我的車停好,先幫他把他的車扶起來,沒想到這時候他開始起身,把東西放回置物箱,跟我說聲謝謝,我就離開了。

真是個多事之秋,看來最近最好小心點。

VOJ

克服VOJ的第一步是強行克服,當VOJ跑出來時,叫它滾開,這是唯一的辦法。

所以當越害怕某個人,就越去跟他講話。

10/4 收到兵單了

終於收到兵單了,10月25日入伍,地點跟金福一樣,在左營海軍新訓中心,沒什麼特別的感覺,目前只專心在STOLL課堂的作業,額外時間再去辦當兵前需要處理的東西。

2nd Day Back to School!

It's the 2nd day back to school. The first day was pretty busy. I waked up around 7am to read the books and rushed to do the practices last week, because those would be discussed in the class. Surprised to see the classroom already full of people, and the TA, who I knew, quickly assigned me to one group. I didn't eat my breakfast until lunch time, because there's no break time. Invited by Angela, I attended the STOLL meeting. Then continued to attend another class in the afternoon. Later on, join the soccer practice once again from 6:30~9:30.

Waked up again at 7am on the 2nd day, to do the practices again. Also two 3-hour classes, too.

I decide to use the time before the military service to attend the classes of STOLL to learn some more on Organizational Learning and Systems Thinking. It's also fun to meet some old friends, like Vickey and Doris, Coach, and soccer teammates, especially Sup and Raul. It should be better next week, since I have more time to do the practices. By the way, I feel pretty different back to school again, though I am not sure how to describe the feeling. However, I am sure I like to be back! ^^

What Happens to the Bamboo?


Guess some people might be interested in what happens to the bamboo in the end? So I post the pictures to solve your questions. It's actually not as much as what it looks like. My mom cooked some by 醃. The 2nd picture is the rest of the bamboo.

By the way, my mom's friend also went to 甲先, and bought 3 bamboos with $100. So one for $80 is not cheap in fact. Anyway, the price is not the reason we buy it.

Today Is Not My Day! XD


























Had a trip to 荖濃 with alumni and teammates of 0506 on 9/30 and 10/1. Once again had got to hear the "bien's"(鱉) jokes and games 3 months after leaving AIESEC. Maybe I should stay away from AIESEC for a longer time. Anyway, I do have a good time during these two days.

I lost two times straight among 14 people, by playing Scissors, Rock, Cloth. Can't believe, because I used to win for the most cases. So I have to bring home a very big bamboo, which is probably more than 150 cm, and drinking "阿華田, 蘿蔔汁, and 多多," which is ok for me because I only drink little, but the taste is very complicated. What can I say after these! Guess just today is not my day.

P.S.
I just said it's 學長 who bought the bamboo, after my mom saw that. Then she was laughing and saying your 學長 is very funny. Moreover, she kept asking about the price, and whether 學長 bought the bamboo was for fun. After that, my mom asked my dad to cut the bamboo. That's the end of the story. Don't know what would happen if it happens to the other families, but I've got to win next time.
