Phlegmatic response

Finally R has contacted me and we had dinner last night. It was great seeing him after such a long time. I remember the time I was in the States and my visit to L.A. Boy, time really flies!

I called Da-Bei on Thursday, talking about his new school and his son. I miss that little kid. Oh, the time I had to take care of him and his mother and prepare meals for them. That was an unforgettable experience.

Incorrigible book-aholic me! I bought four books about neuroscience last night at Eslite. Giving the notion of brain’s plasticity, I believe I can do it in this new field and come up with some new methodology to help Asian students or other ones in general learn a second language more efficiently. I love the phrase, “Use it or lose it”, because it simply implies as long as we desire to learn, nothing is impossible!

As for the sit-in protest, I want Mr. Chen to step down as well; yet my response to whether I want to take part in the activity is phlegmatic. I think there is something more effective we can do to depose the president. Sit-in protest is just a passive way.

After dinner, R and I took a promenade around New York, New York. He told me that brought back lots of memory about his last stay in Taiwan. As for me, I didn’t feel anything. In fact, I never like Taipei; I always I feel I’m just a passerby, waiting for another destination…
