Believing or not, we had a dangerous talk today. I know it's me rasing the unpleasant subject first, nevertherless he has thought about it for a few days.Don't know whether the situation has been passed, or it is left unsolved. One thing for sure is that I will not expect from him/the relationship too much. I'll change the way I usually communicate by as well as the attitude. Everyone has their

Feeling very annoyed yesterday, thanks feeling better after reading a bit. As so many researching things need to do, arranging interviews and collect materials, though I have been working hard since Febuary, even before Feburary was I busy in WTO affairs, thus feeling completely unhappy about the current situation. Wish I can work in a library where I can borrow as much as materials as I can, and

His sweet words might bring fortunes to me.I wrote two interviewing outlines and contacted two officials, although one is not available. At least I try to fix myself into the process of research. Went to the national library and read a bit, everytime I feel stressful of being there cos always can find so many materials need to read but cannot borrow anyone of them.Mam has been in Taipei since

I feel very bad and sick today. In the begining I thought it's the reason for the money, then I guesses that the reason is my previous effort to write the report. When I took the bus on my way home, I came to realise the key point is 'lost trust'. He is neither my close friend nor colleague, but I regard him is a trustful, kind and nice person though we have different perspectives. I really dont

by Ian from JapanI, like everyone, was horrified by the terrorist attacks in London. I'd heard a million times that London would suffer terrorism, but I never really thought it would happen. when I heard the news yesterday, I spent all night trying to get information. Today, I spent hours searching the internet for information, and bought several newspapers to read their accounts of the

Today I read a PhD thesis which my supervisor recommended due to he thinks that the guy's research question might be similar with mine, or shall I say that reversedly, i.e. my research question migh be similar with his.Initially I was surprised by our similar thinking toward a state developmental route, he tries to argue how the globalisation in terms of globally political economic restruction

Found a funny quiz from chitse and did it. Yet the result is amusing as I was judged as a postmodernist. The truth is that I didnt know how to answer those questions sometimes due to my consciousness about the context and background of those questions everytime when I do a phychological test like that. Maybe my caution lead to being a 'postmodernist'. What is Your World View? (updated)You scored

I have been wandering in my mind for a while since finished all international trips. The negative aspect of travelling around is that it will take time to go back to the normal life. Especially I have fallen into Palestine issue and have continuously talked to them online recently, this makes me more far away from the study.Don't know why I always being attracted by the issues which are not

One night though, some weeks later, a terrible storm struck the kingdom. Rain lashed down as if it meant to drown the island, wind tore wildly across it, and beneath the onslaught some houses even collapsed. The wall took the brunt of the storm though, and after hours of facing its worst head on, there was a loud crack as part of it collapsed. Though the islander’s were already hard at work

*The following story was written by Ian A long time ago, on a small and far away island, there was once a kingdom that knew nothing of crime or poverty. Even the humblest fisherman could live like a king on this island, and upon it there was not a single person who knew what hunger felt like. The island was home to fine museums and galleries, schools and universities whose benefits were available

Life has changed since he has gone. I have used to manage the life by myself.

Moyd asked me why I'm intrested in Palestine issue. I did said first as a result of my knowledge of international politics. But later I admitted that i had no clear idea before the visiting. I was shocked by the visiting, then realised that what I regard as a natural thing is not natural to certain people. Such as the freedom to move, to travel, to have a peaceful life, and to have 'dignity'. He

Indeed I am not such smart in language. Recently Ian has appreciated my improving of writing, I guess that enables him spend less time to proof reading my essays, he noted that the improvement is huge in comparing to the first time he read my essay. Somewhat it is true as myself can feel so, at the very least writing in English can be a enjoyable thing while I am developing the idea. Sometimes it

I should concentrate my writing now due to another deadline of essay submission in the end of this week. Notwithstanding my mind can not stop worring about a matter thus I am just bothered by that again and again. No wonder sometimes I wish myself can care less, whatever about a person or an affair, in doing so enables me feel more calm, though might feel bored and lonely meanwhile.Life is fair.

The moment while you called me, I was reading Salman Rushdie's collective fictions, East, West . It was taken by me occasionally when I went out to catch the coach. In coincidence, the first story of the novel, Good Advice is rarer than Rubies, was about how an Indian woman failed to apply for immirgrant British visa, which somewhat liked my situation then.An Indian guy, a visa applicating agent

Super trip of applying for visas in 48 hoursThis week is a bit hurry to me. I was just informed that I might be able to attend ICFTU-APRO conference in Israel in early May. The attraction is that, though I am really scared by taking fights, they will arrange a meeting with Palestein General Federation of Labour. This means I will be able to talk to both Israel trade unionists and Palestein trade

It is a restless moment.She has kept her head lowered,to give him a chance to come closer.But he could not, for lack of courage.She turns and walks away.That era has passed.Nothing that belonged to it exists any more.He remembers those vanished years.As though looking through a dusty window pane,the past is something he could see, but not touch.And everything he sees is blurred and indistinct.

Asking ourselves, do we have anything significant, and it really matter, in our life? Last time when I saw the film 'In the Mood for Love', as you might know that Tony Lieung played a writer in the film, my friend suddenly mentioned that writing was the most difficult affair in the world. I did not agree with him at the time. 'Writing is as difficult as other jobs' said by me.Maybe both of us

It was an amazing night. Mingching and I went to Cumberland Arms again for the purpose of attending the activity of storytelling. The host was very active and so was the main storyteller. As usual, some people gave stories in order to warm the performance. Among them, I was impressed by a black guy who has just stayed in Britain for no more than eight months.

A couple of months ago, I did the personality type text and so did Ian. Recently I found that chitse also did it.

This mornimg I received Ian's phone call from Nagoya. As a result of I mentioned Taiwan many times, he can not stop comparing Japan with Taiwan, though he hasn't been in Taiwan so far except in the airport.

I had been in London many times, yet until last time did I feel relaxed and enjoyable. Indeed I did not visit many places, I mostly visited bookshops, went window shopping and found some restaurants to have supper. When I arrived at London coach station at 2pm, though felt hungry at that moment, I did feel pleasant on the way to the B&B. How came? I found that eventually I could pay attention on

Three days ago, my friend asked me if I have a good capability for memorizing or not. I was thinking about this even before she asked me. The answer is no as I have found that I have almost forgotten many details about past jobs and even some people’s name. That is the reason why, until I forced myself to remember what had happened two years ago, I initially felt little about the campaign for not
