The Blower's Daughter

This song is just amazing!
Today I happen to heard it from radio and then I wonder where I used to listen to it.
Yes, it's in a film starred by Judy Law, Julia Roberts, etc.

Such a sad song makes me fascinate and listen it again and again!

Irish singer - Damien Rice. Now I remember him...

Stay Overnight at Changi Airport in Sigapore Last Night

This is a novel experience for me to stay overnight in an airport. My JetStar flight arrived at Singapore at 11:05 p.m., but my China airline to Beijing will depart at 9:30 a.m. next day. Fortunately, the Changi Airport is convenient and comfortable so that I sat in front of a LCD-screen TV set to watch the super long Starwar series movies in the Star Movie Channel Movie Lounge.

Two unpleasant experiences happened in my journey.
First is the strict implementation of 20kg weight limit of baggage. The original weight of my baggage is 24kg, so I adjust and repack my baggage to fit JetStar's requirement. It was troublesome!

Second is the Zhangyi airport levied the tax of my two cartons of cigarettes brought in Taipei airport. It cost me 4 Singapore dollars! I am unhappy to pay this unexpected and extra fee.

One day in NTU Library

Sitting at the library of NTU, I feel everything is so familiar and enjoyable, reminding each piece of my memory studying here. I used to dream to use my own laptop in this library, however, in my entire university time, I didn’t own one. Today, and now, I am using my newly brought laptop here to type my blog’s content.

Recently, the newspaper and TV news keep reporting the soaring price of food, oil, transportation fees, etc. I do notice that everything becomes more expensive than my past impression. Eating my lunch at the buffet inside the Student Activity Center, I perceive students mostly only spent fewer than 60 NTD to buy a lunch, only having not much amount of food to eat, at least for me. I hope that I am just thinking too much. If not, then it shows sad implications for Taiwanese students, or Taiwan.

Comments Again about the Episode Hosted by Bobby Chen and Patty Hou with Rene Liu as a Guest

I watched a selection of “Kidnap”(连环结，又名綁架) starred by Rene Liu(劉若英) and Lin Jianxin(林嘉欣), and part of “Happy Birthday”(生日快樂) starred by Rene Liu and Gu Tianle(古天樂), prompting me to search for an episode of a talk show hosted by Patty Hou(侯佩岑) and Bobby Chen(陳昇) with Rene Liu as a guest. I was moved by the show, which I have watched months ago and written down some comments about it.

I have to say that this episode is a piece of works with staggering complicated implications and has even a richer context to analyze than the two movies that I mentioned above, although Rene's acting is absolutely outstanding on the movies. Why do I say so? Here come some points I hold.

First, Rene, a famous Taiwanese actress who has won more than hundreds of acting awards in Taiwan, in Mainland China and even in Asia, expose the “real herself” without any disguise from the very beginning, a situation described by some Internet comments as “totally break down”, because her master declined to accept her offering of brand new album. The guest instantly wept and consequently the inexperienced hostess suddenly did not know how to handle the accidence, resulting in the entire program out of control. Thanks to her inexperience, the audience got the luck to see the real sentiments of the guest and the host, who acted as if he was also one of the guests of that day. In fact, I would say there was no host or hostess in this particular episode. Rene and Bobby Chen just took advantage of this show to communicate their respective attitude and feelings which might not have any proper opportunity to express in other occasions.

Second, although movies tend to be designed to move the audience and to be schemed many climatic plots, sometimes a real life story could be more touching and more intricate than them. For example, after Rene asked Bobby to sing a song called "The Kite”, whose lyrics similized a person with liberal and unrestrained personality as a kite, He by his own picked a second song to sing for her, whose lyrics immersed in a tone of sorrow, wisdom, and open mind used a man's perspective to tell a woman who was going to take a train by herself in the platform of a train station that the time has changed and a woman should have her own dream to pursue. Each word of the lyrics sang by Bobby was fully fit with the thoughts which he want to express. The lyrics seemed to tailor for this moment, while actually they were written by him many years ago.

Finally, I noticed even these days, many fans are still writing their comments about this episode which was produced many years ago. People could easily find this material on various video sharing websites such as Youtube, Tudou (土豆網), and other similar Chinese sites. The popularity has proven not only the popularity of Rene Liu, but also the formidable Internet distributing effects on an event or a program. No matter how long ago a word, a comment or a piece of works was generated, once it was put on the Internet, the impact is going to exist almost perpetually without the limits of space and time.
