第二天早上起床的有點晚，結果抵達早操會場時稍微遲了，真是糟糕啊！早操是由鐵人學弟帶的，很有他個人的風格。
從第二天開始我就加緊練習巴哈無伴奏，一整年下來都沒什麼進度實在很糟，希望自己可以督促自己完成一首曲子，最後一天的成果展可以表演。
Lantern Festival (Yuan-Xiao)
Today is Lantern Festival, which is the first 15th day in the lunar calendar. We Chinese traditionally will hold laterns, go outside, and see the exhibition of festival laterns. We also eat Tang-Yuan, aka Yuan-Xiao.
Although when I was at home last week, my mom boiled some Yuan-Xiao because she thought I may have no chance to eat some on Lantern Festival, I still bought a bowl of Yuan-Xiao for dessert after dinner. (All of them filled my stomach… @_@)
I didn’t care a lot about the traditional holidays when I was in the senior high school or the first years of collage. As the years passed and passed, I became maturer and maturer and began to try putting myself into the atmosphere of the holidays. Maybe this is a necessary process to grow to maturity.

A Little Trick
I wanted to find a photo about monkeys in a hot spring for the previous post. I searched in Flickr and found only one. Originally I’d like to crop the center of it and adjust the color balance, but I found it was released with a CC-by-nc-nd license. So I sent a mail to ask for the author’s permission.

 相機不夠好，只能拍到小小隻的猴子。

 走往文大的反方向可上陽明山

 一路沿著小溪流走，溪底紅紅的不知道是什麼，優養化？

 出了步道後要沿著紗帽路走一小段才會到陽明山國家公園
|
 途中的小公園

 陽明山郵局，好像沒啥特色。

 人車分道告示牌，不過其實兩條路蠻平行的。

 喔喔～還有一半的海拔要爬。

 不過其實上升的速度還不慢？亂標？

 七星山主峰，這碑做這麼高，不會也是為了湊整數用的吧？

 請人幫忙照個像

 風大沒帶帽子，只好拿毛衣來圍。

 十度，好冷啊～

 向風處只有六度。@_@

Public Hot Spring For First Time
Author: Holy@Flickr. CC-by-nc-nd
Last night, I went to a public hot spring for first time. A public hot spring means that one COULDN’T wear anything while he’s in the pool. Of course that boys and girls are separated. :p But this is not my first time ENTERING a public hot spring. I had seen somebody naked enjoying the hot spring when I went climbing Mount Ba-tong-guan, but that time, I still wore a swimming suit.
I rode on my motorcycle to Beitou and found quickly the Public Bathroom of Beitou Hot Spring, which my roommate recommended. The ticket price is 50 NTD.
Before I entered, there were about 10 people in it. Of course, I didn’t know them. So, I acted as not a new hand as I can, took off my clothes quickly, and jumped into the pool. There are two pools in the bathroom. One is hotter and the other is colder. But when I was ready, there’s only one available because some people were cleaning the other.
I didn’t feel any embarrassed when I was taking off my clothes or in the bathroom. As someone said, ‘There’s nothing worthy of being amazed, because everyone has it.‘ Exactly, everyone’s looked alike. XD
I dipped myself into the pool firstly, and when I felt too hot, went back to have a cold shower. I kept thinking when I was in, but all the images in my mind were monkeys in the water with their heads outside and look at each other. XD
The process proceeded three times, and after that, I felt a little dizziness and sat at the pool for a rest. After I felt better and had a simple shower, I put on my clothes and went home. Time passed about 1 hour while I was in there.
It’s still a special experience for me to be naked in front of others, but it’s not bad. Maybe I can try it more times in the future, and then I’ll enjoy the feeling of freedom, relax and feel comfortable just as my roommate.

Love Washing Hands
After going back home for Chinese New Year, I loved washing my hands when I went home from outside. So yesterday, I bought a soap box in the Shi-Pai Night Market. (I already had a piece of soap.) Hmm… from now on, I can have my hands washed easily if I feel they are dirty. ^^
Displaying Wretch’s Photos in Bloglines
Wretch sets a referer policy in order to deny connection from other sites. That really diminishes unnecessary traffic for them, but it’ll make us inconvenient to use a blog aggregator, such as Bloglines, to browse the blogs powered by Wretch.
Someone supplied a method: use a firefox extension called RefControl and set a customized referer with the Bloglines site.
It really works. Haha… since now, I don’t need to click the link of the Wretch blogs additionally. ^^
