Ghost Festival Today is Ghost Festival , we have to make a worship (拜拜) according to traditional custom as usual. Because of a typhoon's coming , we don't need to work and earn a hoilday to celebrate this festival. In this day , we have to arrange foods , fruit , snacks, wine , incense stick, ghost money .......etc for a worship. The whole ceremony takes us a couple of hours or so . The ghosts (we called them " buddies ") can eat what we offered and they will not bother us in July , As legend that the hell gate opened from July 1st to 30th , many ghosts would go out to play for a month. At the end of July , we would make a farewell worship to send them off to hell. Besides, it would better to us that coming home earier at nights in July to avoid either seeing the " buddies" or getting in any troubles. There are many diffient traditional customs all over the would , Taiwan is no exception too. Good luck for you ~~

Is it possible that the efforts and results can be direct proportional ? Daily morning , I'm always lazy to get up and lazy to work. Listening to the boss’s roar and the clients’ complaints. Doing endless workload and get a bit of salary. Speaking broken English and remember hard-remembered words. Now the economy is bad, we have to put up with anything. I don’t know when the efforts and results can be direct proportional. However, working diligently doesn’t guarantee success. Nevertheless, success completely relies on working diligently.

Carol's notebook entry: What is the value of my life ? I often think what on earth we chase in life.

Carol's notebook entry: A Terrible meeting with Italian I spent a month to diligently study English for a terrible meeting. This is first time to meet a foreigner and the meeting finally came this morning. When we met each other, I even could hear my deep breathing and rapid heartbeat. All of first, he praised us that we are a good client because we purchased the many goods from them every year, and encouraged us to promote their products to not only Taiwan market but also China. Then we discussed many subjects related to business. However , after two hours I started to fall into a daze and didn’t understand what the Italian said then I stammered when I translated what my supervisor said to English. I was so embarrassing at that time, that is very unforgettable experience.
