Bellevue, WA, pronounced bell-vue, meaning beautiful view in French. Sounds like a nice place to live, maybe I should move there one day! This is how I came to know of this place…
I watched the new Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movie over the weekend and in the movie they play an Irish song during some [...]
I had the urge to watch something British the other day and The Office popped into my head. So I searched for Ricky Gervais movies. The Invention of Lying seemed an interesting title, not exactly a British film but close enough. The movie itself was ok, got a little dry from about half way through [...]
The Taiwanese seem obssesed with fireworks. It must, at least partly be because the Chinese were the ones to invent them. I never knew there was such a thing as the fireworks festival but apparently there’s one every year on the wafer front on Danshui River. Or is there? Doesn’t matter. A few junior high [...]
Day 24, Oct 9
Last day! Graduation!
We sweated out the graduation ceremony had a really quick lunch and was outta there. Nothing much to write about today. The ceremony felt rather rushed and a totally for show formality that nobody seemed to care too much about. But it did mark an end to our basic training [...]
Day 23, Oct 8
Second last day today. Camp is winding down and all we are doing these last two days is attending lectures on volunteering and going to graduation ceremony rehearsals. The lectures add up to the amount required for us to become registered volunteers. So in other words we can record the volunteering activities [...]
Day 22, Oct 7
Some things you’d just see in the military and nowhere else. For example during rehearsals for the graduation ceremony, we were taught how to clap correctly, in military terms that is. It’s all about one thousand people starting to clap at the same exact moment and the same thousand people stopping on [...]
Yesterday was our company’s annual sports day. It was a pretty big event with I guess more than 1000 people taking part. Apparently ours is always the biggest one out of all Hsinchu companies. And it’s also probably the only chance that I’ll get to see our CEO this year. Next time I’ll have to [...]
Day 21, Oct 6
Exam day. Three exams we had today.
Multiple choice test on all the stuff we were meant to listen to during the large amounts of lectures we had. 40 questions, 2½ marks each. I think the test time was one hour, may have been longer but it was plenty. I’ve been writing this [...]
Day 20, Oct 5
All I did was sleep during this holiday. Got back to camp around 8:30pm.
Day 19, Oct 4
I was rather surprised that they still took us for a morning run today even though we had already completed the 3000m test yesterday.
We went for a rehearsal of the graduation ceremony after breakfast. The sun was shinning brightly by the time we arrived at 介壽台. After all 16 squadrons had arrived, [...]
