今天打算到東區去逛一圈，從建國花市繞到SOGO，再到誠品敦南店去，昨天晚上還特地用 UrMap 查了一下地圖 (UrMap 查台灣的道路超好用的…)，所以早上第一站就是建國花市啦！

Going Mad With Voip Phone
Since I found VoipStunt, which can make free regular landline calls, I always used it. But just now, I was going mad with it. I called the Payroll Section of NCKU for checking the record of my brother‘s tuition. Firstly, I cautiously used Skype to avoid the delay problem, but it always told me it couldn’t switch to the extension. After several tries, I gave it up and used the VoipStunt. That’s when nightmare began.
It switched to the extension correctly, but the other side seemed unable to hear my voice. I tried to shout more loudly, and then she found the delay problem and was very confused. Finally, we finished the conversation with impatience.
How can these voip softwares suck like that!? Skype can’t make a switch, and VoipStunt has delays. Hu… they almostly spoilt my good mood even when today just began. =.=凸

What a wonderful service it supplies!
This morning, I read the China Times and found out a book Taiwan, During Japan Colonization (日本統治下的台灣; ISBN: 9867375548). I’m interested in it and decided to buy one in the upcoming book exhibition. In fact, going to visit the exhibition to buy one will take me more time and more money, so I search it online first. What amazed me was that there’s a large gap of the price between each bookstores. The price gap between the cheapest and the most expensive is 60 NTD. Wow!!
If I buy one online, I may spend the transportation charges. So, I went on the web site of the cheapest for details. I found I have not to pay the transportation charges if I choose a convenience-store transportation. How wonderful it is. So I bought one at once.
Another book I’d like to buy is Brokeback Mountain (ISBD: 1857029402), but there’s no stock of the older version, which is cheaper than the latest one. So I gave up. Maybe I’ll accidentally find one in one of the Eslite Bookstore someday.
Haha … It’s so happy to buy something cheaper. :p
Chinese New Year’s Eve
Tonight is Chinese New Year‘s Eve, one of the most important holidays for Chinese. Families get reunion from where they work or study, enjoy the New Year Eve’s Feast (reunion dinner), and the elders will give the juniors red packet as a Spring Festival gift. Theoretically, everybody loves the happy ambiance.
But I don’t like this very much. Maybe it’s a waekness in my personality. I don’t like to get in touch with my relatives. I don’t know exactly what the reason is, but I do know the condition since I was a child. But it’s an important tradition, I still have to follow it. Maybe I need to change my mind a little, face this with a more positive attitude, and then I can accept this in a happier mood.
Hope everyone have a good chinese new year, get healthier than before, and every thing can be all right.
