I forgot to take pictures of my plum jam before giving them away, thanked to Vita 's post, I borrowed 2 from her blog.Before plum jam, I also made mulberry jam and tomato jam, and all of the ingredients were FREE! That’s the advantages of living here in Taitung! This April, during Tomb-Sweeping Day weekend, I got a chance to visit an abandoned plum orchard of the mother-in-law of my friend, Guan.

我的剪紙日記

小氣鬼兼懶惰鬼09年的願望之一，就是要大大方方剪紙！剪一些大張的，剪剪不同的材質，想把故事剪出來。第一次剪紙是因為一個鼻子很挺的朋友，還記得只要被她教過、脾氣又直率的孩子，往往直呼其大鼻子或巫婆鼻子。某年夏天，巫婆好聲騙我到汐止山上騙小孩。夜裡無聊，為取悅身邊幾個同樣覺得夏令營無聊又不肯睡覺的小傢伙，剪出一堆水果怪頭人，紙碎散了一地，換來心情大好。此後斷斷續續視心情動剪，並不認真。說起來身邊朋友畫畫的不少，曾經耳濡目染試著拿筆卻是又塗又改，成就感不大，還是覺得拿剪刀比較輕鬆。紙張折疊之處便是展開時驚喜所在，有時手比眼快，剪出來的結果超出原本的造型經驗，帶來新的刺激。有時候覺得自己的剪紙看著看著好像有故事了，可惜往往只停在一個情節或一句話。06年的旅行帶著剪刀出發，不像安徒生那把會刺傷背脊的大剪刀，我的小小的放在筆袋裡，每當要離開熱情招待我們住宿的網友家前夕，

Last Friday I went to a free play titled Little Town of Tanshui. It was an adaption of Our Town (Thornton Wilder,1938) performed by Godot Theatre Company. Most of the audience that night were students and teenagers due to the sponsorship of a new established foundation.There was a scene describing a dead woman got her last chance to travel back to her childhood celebrating her 10 year-old

This morning I went to mail this envelope, inside was 2 music CD for my mom. The post office lady hesitated, I thought I know why, after 5 seconds or so she ask if I drew those things and for whom was it made? I didn't feel like talking too much, so I nodded my head slightly. Obviously she wasn't satisfied with my answer, she looked into my eyes and tried to say more....I quickly said I only

At first, I wanted to cut a dancing elephant.... In the end was an elephant foot girl dancing ballet. Not bad?

Yuwen and I hosted many friends last summer and one of the reasons was for her exhibition. Yj, Yuwen's cousin, wanted to leave as soon as she arrived Taitung because of the high temperature and the annoying mosquitoes. To solve this, Yuwen insisted showing Yj a wonderful butterfly valley to swim in. The first thing happened when we got there, by the way, we rode two scooters there, the very first

DA is a good cook and a good colleague and a good friend especially to Mr. Papillon.So I cut the butterfly in his right hand and as many fingers as I could arranged for his left hand to show his ability to handle almost everything! I pasted it onto a calendar sheet which showed his birth date. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
