棉花糖

I first heard this new lovely voice yesterday. Two young people dressed casually as college students were singing at the little plaza next to 師大 night market. I thought they are just common street performers at the beginning; however, the singing voice from the singer is very impressive and made me willing to stay around to hear more. Actually, they got their new album just come out and provided a cozy night by their great music last night for the lucky people around there. I guess there will be a seat for their good and lovely music for a while. Good luck to them. After listening to their entire album, I like the song 2375 the most due to not only its melody but the lyrics.

獅甲國中

The name of this junior high school "獅甲國中" is so popular these days since the pronunciation of the reverse of its name sounds like "China go eat shits". The hatred to China results from the long-time tense relationship across the strait. The opposition party, DPP, planned use this trick in their coming demonstration. Anyway, this reminds me another similar pronunciation trick to convey the hatred to China. You can read "中國護理系", (Dept of nursing, China Medical University) by Taiwanese. Ha ... I guess DPP can use this trick instead of the original one which has been blamed by the public these days.

Resume blogging

It has been a while since my last post here. This blog was shut down because of the posting of my NSF project by word in which the content was supposed to be confidential. After reading my past posts, it recalled me many things and made me realize that this blog can be very precious in which many little emotional or exciting things from my common life are somehow kept for my future references.

Here is a song I heard at 清水 rest area on Freeway 3 close to Taichung. I went there after my talk at China medical university. The talk was going nicely along with the invitation to be the adjunct professor in the dept by their dean of the college. Even though it may not be feasible, the invitation is still a compliment expressing their appreciation of my research outcome...:-D Anyway, the song I heard was sang by a male guitar player with his husky but touching sound. I like it very much and will sing it in my next KTV trip ... :-p The second song was heard sometimes last summer or fall. It fully attracted my attention and echoed in my mind for a while.
