終於

我好久沒寫部落格了...
改天再寫一下這幾天在台灣做什麼好了,其實過的蠻充實的耶

哈哈,看來這篇會是一個完全沒有內容的爛文章,因為我等下打算用亂寫的方式混過去 XD
加上我文筆本來就不怎樣... 嗯,你為什麼還在讀?

喔對,我現在在整理行李準備今晚去加拿大了
這次終於要去了,終於簽證沒問題呀,終於沒有忘記文件... 終於要離開台灣一段時間了
還有終於要繼續讀書了,我這一年多的休學終於要結束了
我2007 12月被趕出美國,現在也2009了... $@!#,時間怎麼過的那麼快?
2008真的是充滿回憶的ㄧ年,真的認識了很多人,交了一些朋友,去日本,遇到可以與我白頭偕老的那一位... 但我和John一天就分手了 (看這篇, facebook的鄉民還不趕快直接到我部落格, facebook可是沒format的)

行李還是沒進展... Anyways!
終於要走了,我還沒感覺到這一次真的要走那種心情... 等一下,我在試一次
"嗯,我終於要走了,而且一次就去3年吧..."
Nope, 還是沒感覺,反正我Christmas應該還是會回來幾個禮拜,要不然我就是太習慣這種要離開的心情...
PS. 我現在開始懷疑到底有幾個人跟的上我的思路,好像蠻亂的... 我也懶的整理, screw it

行李啊,你就自己收自己啊,還要我收,夠大牌... (心裡想的是"Let the dead bury their own dead", 哈哈...不get it沒關係... XD)
終於要離開我的愛了... 把愛~~剪碎了隨風吹向大海~~ (Pacific)
我發現啊... 我的幽默感很奇怪,找到真的懂我笑點的ㄧ定要珍惜...

行李: "認真點啊小子!"
Sorry...
我有很多依依不捨,有點想要繼續在這裡的生活,不太想離開朋友,還有女六的那些白癡"姐姐們"... John, 你同意吧,7號, 你不需要回答
台灣,等我回來吧,下次再給我美好的回憶
台灣的朋友們,別翹課
台灣不翹課的朋友們,我會常想你們的(但不可能每天都想,只有家人我才會每天想,你付出有他們多嗎?你說啊?你說啊!)
台灣在屬靈爭戰的,我有在禱告,時常禱告
台灣應該和我一起靈修但會偷懶的,別翹課,喔當然也要靈修... ya
台灣不認識神的,哈!嗯,對,去認識祂吧
台灣的Tony, 不就是我嗎?真帥 *陶醉*
台灣的啤酒,沒喝過因為我只喝紅酒
台灣的寶貝,what? 誰誰!?
台灣的每一位,我終於要走了,掰掰
這次不是幾個月就回來... actually, 12月也才幾個月... 被自己嗆... 好悲慘...
OK 所以這次也是幾個月就回來了... 那我幹嘛say goodbye成這個樣子,奇怪...

行李: "..."
我: "幹嘛?"
行李: "你有夠白癡耶"
我: "... 還輪不倒你罵,我跟你講話已經夠給面子了"
行李: "靠貝... 還趕頂嘴!還不快整理!"  <--(有沒有感覺某人上身? 莫名其妙... 別亂上我行李的身!)

我: "還說髒話... 好啦好啦,我去整理"
終於要去收拾了,竟然跟行李說話... 誒...

G-20 Summit without Taiwan

比較不想看英文的直接讀這篇就好了 (http://www.businessweekly.com.tw/webarticle.php?id=36372). 我真的很傷心, 也很生氣, 非常生氣...

The G-20 Summit this year was held in London on April 2nd.

For those of you unacquainted with the term, it is a meeting for the leaders of the top economies in this world (effectively the top 20 countries as determined by GDP). Actually it is the top 19 countries and the European Union. Check here for full details (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G20_industrial_nations).

World leaders, smile!

As you can see here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)), Taiwan ranks number 19. Yet Taiwan was conveniently left out (Iran was the only other nation left out too). So many other situations like this plague Taiwan's international affairs. What pisses me off is how this barring was not due to any fault on Taiwan's part... the injustice in this world eh? Is it bad that I hate this more than I hate murder?

Taiwan's economy qualifies us for a voice in the G-20 Summit, whatever the political issues, leaving Taiwan out is not the best thing for the global economy. I can write an article every week about the injustices done to Taiwan on an global level, across even "little" things like gaming conventions. But I won't do this every week for the sake of the diversity I want in my posts. For all you know my next post might be about zombies.

My goal is to raise awareness. Now that you are aware, spread the news and stand up to it when given the chance.

And now to talk to all you Taiwanese, stop bickering and be stronger. Screw oppression, screw misunderstandings, the world sees strength and money is power; as long as we are strong economically, everything else will follow. If you don't love Taiwan like I do, that's fine, just do your part for society. But if you actually hate Taiwan, make sure I don't hear you say that or you'll feel my wrath long after the sun goes down (unless you provide a intelligent logical explanation for your emotions).

I love Taiwan. That's the second time I confessed my love for Taiwan here.

Blog Statistics... not really

Only 3 visits were linked from facebook, and they only stay an average of 11 seconds... Guess no one clicks the "view original post" thing at the bottom of my imported notes and the ones that do click don't really care anyways. I miss my old days when I had this Guild Wars fansite with about 1000 visits a day... But to the most important point:

According to my data I have more native Chinese speaking users reading my blog than native English speaking ones. This makes me want to just write in Chinese... If it weren't for my awe-inspiring ways with the English language and laughable skills in writing Chinese I would be using Chinese 100% by now.... in blog posts that is.

I guess all my English speaking friends have withered away... Makes Tony a sad little boy... Apart from the "little" bit, Tony isn't that little, he's 178cm (5'10"), he just slouches a bit... Also apart from the "boy" bit, Tony is what most people call "a real man", no really he is, please believe me. Okay maybe Tony isn't that sad either, he just enjoys over-correcting himself.

Speaking of over-correcting... I'll be learning French soon (Yes I know it wasn't related but I needed a paragraph transition). I've had about 3 years worth of French studies in both high school and college. Still my French is as good as 周董 (Jay Chou) is with English... I think. Anyways!

A la Quebec mes amis!!! Je vais a Montreal dans trois semaines. C'est une nouvelle sensationnelle non?

Power Leveled by John

Again for those facebook users, if you are reading this on facebook that means it was imported. But the format is probably messed up, so click on "view original post" to link to my blog. Yes, do it now...

It seems more than 3 people have asked me to write in English. That's about 3 more people than I expected. So to feed their insatiable desire to read my writings, here is a blog post in English. But seeing as how my muse has ran off with another man... again... this post will not be as elegantly worded nor as distinctly humorous as some of my other works. For those that think my other posts were crap, your mom seemed to think otherwise last time I saw her... I really am typing at an extremely fast pace without editing, so bear with me, it's going to get crazy.

So what have I been up to...?
Him, the one on the right.

The one on the left is my brother.

John and I are finally going to be open about our relationship. It is an exciting time for both of us. I'm a bit concerned though, most long distance relationships fail after a while. They are so hard to maintain you know? Any tips and pointers would be much appreciated. 高約翰, 我們一起加油吧. >3<


How we met
As most of you know, I grew up in Penang. John and I went to both Uplands and Dalat School together. We only really started getting to know each other after 11th grade though. He, like myself, am pretty much a typical nerd. Maybe that's what drew us together... Fast forward to summer 2008. Summer was when we really got to know each other.

Maybe it was the beach, or the loneliness... Either way we connected. We started talking online and before you know it, boom! As much as I'd like to go into the intricate details of our physical and emotional engagements, I'd like to leave that to your imagination. Let me now describe what we have together, our connection.

John's a great guy, not many people has that many 70+ characters in WoW you know? Actually he probably has a few lvl80's by now... His skill in real time strategies is only matched by my twitch reflexes in Unreal Tournament. We match like a priest matches a warrior in a 2 hour dungeon raid meant for 4 people. It's like 2 expert fake instrument players gold starring Dragonforce. Like how Marcus saves Dom after a direct shot by a Brumak (if for some reason Dom wasn't ripped to shreds). Like how Mario goes to all these castles for Peach, only for us John is never in another castle. Like how Farah always saves the Prince of Persia, making dying impossible in the game but nonetheless fun. Like how Chris and Sheva takes down an Executioner Majini in Professional. Like how Snake and Otacon work together to infiltrate place after place, ultimately saving the world from the control of the Patriots. Like how a Protoss Dark Templar transports to the Terran ally's base to rescue it from a Zerg rush (though realistically Dragoons should have been enough)...

You get my point. John and I match.

EDIT: Well, just to avoid any misunderstandings, though I never once stated we were engaged romantically, I strongly implied it... for the sake of continuing our little April Fool's joke. Ya, I'm just clarifying now that it is April 3rd. Perhaps I should have left it as is... Would have been funnier, and I got nothing to lose anyways.

A simple question

Do you want a personal relationship with someone who loves you to death?

One of the simplest yet most powerful questions you can ask. Think about it for a while. Do you?

命中注定我愛你

Note: Facebook的鄉民看到下面那"查看原文"或"View Original Post"按鈕嗎?Yes, 按那個。看來Facebook會把匯入文章的格式弄亂...
前幾天前剛看完了"命中注定我愛你"這齣戲。
那是我第一個買的,第一個看完的(因該說高興甘心的看完),也是第一個喜歡的偶像劇。
好害羞喔,人家每一種第一次都獻給它了... *扭扭*
...Anyways!

我真的蠻喜歡的,整體的編劇至少不會像一些偶像劇一樣誇張到想去殺編劇組。
我意思是就算真的有一個理論上是可能但不會發生的事情,角色的反應合不合乎正常人會作的。
我能容忍不可能的劇情,但不要有不可能的反應!

要怎麼不透露太多劇情呢...Ok!
阮經天(紀社長)跟陳喬恩(陳欣怡)是一對因為上錯床,我是說上錯"船",而相遇的兩個人。
他們透過懷孕的小孩,社長的現任女友Anna芭蕾舞者,以及一大堆誤會慢慢發現他們的愛是命中注定...
故事把我們從台北帶到薑母島甚至還到上海,所以至少不像其他的偶像劇都在同一個地方。
他們遇到了假神父Dylan藝廊總監,跟可愛的紀旺珍珠奶奶住了一陣子,被欣怡的媽陳林西施女士兒罵過,找到了名陶瓷家中山龍大師,有一個娘娘腔Anson助理處理一切...喔,還有小狗紀寶貝在...當小狗。

命中注定的主角跟配角真的都很不錯,該搞笑的時候會讓人捧腹大笑,但該認真的時候會讓人黯然流淚。
而且兩個主角都受過委屈,都有犯錯的時候。不像有劇些會過度男性或女性主義。
當然它不是完美的,也有可以進步的地方,但跟其他偶像劇比它配的上Oscar哩!

還有我被一些人說我像紀存希...我也這麼認為,所以我特別能感受到他的無奈。
命中注定是嗎?我也相信這世上有命中注定會在一起的,畢竟"就如神從創立世界以前,在基督裡揀選了我們",祂也選了會跟我們在一起的另外一半。所以我們根本不需要去擔心這些啊,神已有安排了!
當然祂也可能安排我們會單身,單身是不錯的恩賜啊...

命中注定單身漢,
莊智超

但也有可能是時候未到,所以我的未來Anata,請等我... 至少再等兩個禮拜

蟑螂教我的道理

剛打死一隻蟑螂,昨天才打了一隻說...
這隻竟然還大膽的趕飛到我床上,不要命了它!
誒,我好不喜歡殺生...
其實與其說我不喜歡殺生不如說我討厭後續的清理
黏黏的遺體還要丟掉,地板也要拿濕巾擦一擦,打太用力了話還要多擦幾下...

我後來開始想(就是當我近看屍體在抽動的時候,也順便抱歉了一下),它好可憐
它不過就只是飛來飛去爬來爬去而已,但竟然有一隻大怪物把它趕盡殺絕
它也是上帝所創造的ㄧ個生物,一隻昆蟲...
光看它那硬厚的外殼與它驚人的生存力就知道神是精心設計它的!

人類好像越來越自私了,不願意和大自然共存,還反過來危害這星球!
對動物植物昆蟲就算了但對人也如此,人是按照神的形像造的耶!
凡是討厭的,厭倦的,甚至造成一點不便的,我們都會想從我們生命中移除
Yes 他或許把你房間搞得很噁心,
Yes 她或許整天纏著妳還死抓不放(而且是真的很難打死)
但在祂眼裡我們是怎樣的生物呢?對一個創造宇宙綜多銀河系中的太陽系裡的小小星球的幾億人之一的神... 我們算什麼?而祂的反應又是一樣的嗎?
無視於存在?趕走?滅絕?

奇怪,好像是愛耶... 哪有任何神會愛那麼渺小,噁心的我們?
"神愛世人(你耶,你耶!),甚至把他的獨生子賜給他們,叫一切信他的,不致滅亡,反得永生。因為,神差他的兒子到世上來,不是要定世人的罪,而是要使世人藉著他得救。" -約翰福音3:16-17
有神愛我們耶,包括你!只要肯接受這份愛就有一個與神建立個人關係的機會... 他告白了,耶穌早在33AD就告白了,你的回答呢?祂在聽,在等你喔

我蹲在那裡靜思了幾分鐘後終於用衛生紙把它捏死了,衛生紙太薄了...


RIP 蟑螂
