My December Holidays reflection

This December holidays I went to Taiwan for a volunteer job. It was fun reliving the past memories in going back to my school in Taiwan. Not that river valley is not a good school but sometimes I still miss my old school.
I went to work as a volunteer as a pharmacist in their local clinic and learnt quite a bit. For example their medications names are actually directly translated from English, hence there were really strange names for a lot of them. There was also an incident in which the old people would not eat their medication and came back to see the doctor saying that the doctor did not cure them and seeing the doctor was no use.
After the volunteer job I also went to their science center at Tai Chung which was huge. By huge I mean, six large buildings with each at least three stories high. They had a dinosaur exhibition which was very interesting and their fake dinosaur models looked so real. They were so cute. I tried to touch a little dinosaur but got a warning from the security guard not to do so.
Last but not least was the shopping trip at their night market. Taiwan's night market is terrific !! You can find like everything there and everything is super cheap. I spent so little there, but bought so much. I was really really happy.
I had a wonderful December holiday, I won't ever regret or forget how I spent this holiday. How was yours..??

what I've learnt so far.....:)

Throughout the CID lessons I learnt that picture paints a thousand words.A picture might be simple but there is a story behind it and we should look beyond what is on the surface to understand its story or meaning.With that,we can get a deeper understanding from the picture and not just 'judging a book by its cover' and deriving a conclusion from it.

For example, we were given a picture of a beggar begging for money with her baby.I thought that they were really in need of money but i was wrong.Therefore, I feel that it is important to look beyond the picture and not jump into conclusion straightaway.

Chinese New Year

This Chinese New Year has passed, and now, my task is to choose a colour and symbol that represents Chinese New Year.
So, I have chosen RED.
Why red? As you can seem during Chinese New Year, all decorations are in red. Red lanterns, red banners, red packets. Even the streets are decorated in red.
The Chinese love the colour red. Red symbolizes a blissful life, wealth and ensure you a safe year. So that's why during Chinese New Year, everything is in red. We even wear red.

The symbol I've chosen is this " 福”. This word means to have a blissful life and may all your ken see come through. This word is pasted upside down because it will mean “ 福倒了 ”. Which means that joy and prosperity is here! Which the Chinese believe it be a blessing.

This is the picture I have chosen. 2014, this year is the year of the horse. This picture shows a strong and handsome horse in front, this shows that this year is going to be a great year for everyone and blissful. 

I wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year! And get more money!!!! Haha!
