Republic of Eugene: I LOVE SUMMER

now i was here again at the starbucks on yang ming mountain. today everywhere was scorching, and it felt great to enjoy a mug of latte in this peaceful place. suddenly i understood one thing: with all the dull feeling i had had during the past weeks, what i need is just a simple life like NOW: no need to worry about duty, it doesn't matter where i'm at. what had been in my mind all the time were just about "job is boring", "life doesn't change at all", "no freshing and new stuff comes up." how on earth can i get used to this UNCHANGE while change is my favourate?
but, situation's been a little different since friday:

a new idea went into me about how to improve bumper's assembility by introducing structure of arch bridge. cool huh!? that was wisdom of ancient Chinese, and i'm really excited about applying this into car part!

also, family around me, which always comforts and strengthens me up;

church friends are nice, like James and Bi Jing who love motorcycles as well, and we have so much to talk about motorcycle! Bi Jing said to me today that she so much wants to try on the rear seat of my bike. they mentioned about a 400cc hippie motorcycle they had in thailand years ago, but James said now he doesn't have much gut to ride as before. lol!! Pancho is a nice guy too. he loves sharing and is caring for people. also Tony and Nelson and pastor and Justin...i believe God has finally answered my prayer request of having spiritual brothers =)

lifeguard training, which starts today, is one of the plans i have been looking forward to. coaches said there are gonna be a lot to learn, such as CPR, techniques of saving and taking drowning struggling swimmers ashore, and probably, most likely we will have chances to ride jet ski!!! awesome!!

talk of lifeguard, this morning i had a test which is on condition of finishing 400m in 12 minutes (the poster said); but before the test the examiner cut it down to 200m within 6 minutes and i couldn't understand why until the starting of the test: many swimmers are actually not that good at swimming! as for me, i had been nervous since last night to the point that heart almost at my mouth; but today after the test, to my surprise i was the fastest swimmer of all, and i was chosen as second leader in our squad. what an honour, yet i wasn't expecting that!

another plan i have is purchase a big bike as soon as my savings insurance ends its term. this has been my dream all the time, and it's about time to make it come true.

below are two bikes off which i can't take my eyes
