  So, I am here to write again. University entrance exams done, results out, and now only have to wait for the "assignment" - or whatever it should call - to be announced on August 9th. Free like a bird now, I am. Nice. Yet somehow this transit made me feel aimless for it is eventually the time I could do whatever I desire, and could refuse to do what I abhor. Some people (in Taiwan) think that life before university is to work hard without complaints, with no fun, whilst life in university is party time. I cannot agree. University is where to work hard, whilst before university is to have fun and experience the world. Therefore this summer is going to be the most precious moment, for I could tempt to have my wildest idea be performed. What do I have in mind then? A long list of varieties to learn. Haha. Alright, I have to admit that my definition of fun is rather dull to the others. But why not give it a try? This is the summer with less pressure, and I cherish it. *smile*

  This summer so far I have had a trip to Kinmen (once again) and Taipei. I love Kinmen. But Taipei? Phooey, another over-crowded city with no soul. Maybe I am too harsh, but cities like Taipei are the resultants of so-called [modern] civilization, which on the other hand means accumulation of human destructions, somehow. Then why do I like Kinmen, for it is another city?

  There are several aspects of Kinmen attracts me. It is surely a city, a city that is way much older than Taipei, or even New York. It is civilized, by our common definition, yet it remains well balance between the nature and human beings. Kinmen has lots of trees, thus lots of bugs and birds. People respect other creatures and interact with them. It is not like the ways work in cities: a fierce species tends to attact invaded human beings, kill the species then. In Kinmen, I can see a well mixture of human culture and the nature, they complement each other. And it is also the place where the great history of Chinese still remains and the wisdom of our ancestor still passes on. I love the place, just love it.

  Finally everything is coming to an end. I have finished high school and the university entrance exams - the ultimate goal of the majority of teenagers, but mine. This ending is rather a relief than a sentiment. Yes, I am happy now. :)

  The exams went O.K. Physics and Biology were extremely simple. Chemistry, Chinese, and English were all right. Yet Math was a bit out of control. I just cannot understand why I stumble on it in every big exams, maybe something psychological. Sigh. Anyway, it is all over. Nevermind!
