2 weeks ago we learnt Chinese cutting paper in Chinese class. i love doing this thing. it's like in the kindergarten^^ then our laoshi told us about the history in the ancient time that if a girl doesn't have ability to do cutting paper no one will marry her :D but it's not anymore.

We were making chuan that has the meaning of spring. i thought it was christmas tree :D

Christmas fever in Taiwan, every Taiwanese will greet us 'merry christmas', even they know that we are not celebrating it. and i got chocolate from Linda, my roommate. well, i can't say no for a gift, so i took it, haha.. thanks anyway:)

This is our last class (thanks to mas donny for all the photos, always take a picture for every moment), next week is gonna be a final exam. wishing all a good luck! jiayoo~~

Our teacher invited her friend to the class last thursday to show us chinese calligraphy. So exciting!

*Gong xi fat cai! it will be on next february, can't hardly wait for the event.

*..look at the boy, he was so serious, while us posing to the camera

*the red one:

may good health, peace, prosperity, happiness and longevity be with you and great success in making better & greater things happen.

*the left one:

the moonlight shines before my bed,

i thought it was the frost on the floor.

lifting my head i look at the moon,

then i lower my head and think of home

*the right one:

sunset behind the mountains,

yellow river flowing seaward.

with the desire to see father,

the higher one can climb.

lucky me to have one of those arts, i got the right one, actually i prefer to get the left one, but someone took it really fast, haha.

i can't completely understand for the right one meaning, but i do like the left one because it is more suitable for us, yes we are the homesick people :(
