  • kaohsiung 2014

    just had my first trip to taiwan with family the last few days.

    though it was only a short visit to Kaohsiung, I unexpectedly found a gem at a second-hand CD shop. alright not exactly a gem, but it's an album by Korean singer-songwriter Kim Dong-ryul. I've been looking for his music in HK shops ever since I heard his song "Start"(출발) on tv. although there are several tracks available online, I still found the need to actually purchase a copy of the disc. it is sort of how I show my support towards the musician. you may ask, why don't I buy it online? well, I think that is a matter of choice. and 隨緣吧. although I wasn't sure if the CD I got had "Start" in it, I bought it anyway. after I got back home, I popped the disc into my discman (yes I still own a discman) and VOILA! the first track is what I had in mind =)

    okay back to this large island east of china. we were lucky enough to enjoy the nice whether at Kaohsiung, with occasional showers only. Liuhe night market, eat eat eat. mini excursion to Hsiao Liu Chiu (Small Okinawa), interesting view and rocky landscapes and lots of 珊瑚礁石. bought 麻花捲. 好好味! paid respects to my uncle who passed away 8 years ago there, visited national sun yat sen university, went to 誠品, kaohsiung film archive etc.

    we didn't really do a lot or see a lot, considering that we wanted the trip to be more relaxing. quite enjoyable but next time probably I'd do the planning... lol

  • past tense present tense

    有些人會用 過去式 或 現在式 甚至 "未來式" (I'm not sure if this is the right term for future tense...)去形容某些人對自己的意義

    in english there is the 'ex-' something something for previous something somethings...

    但. 有些根本沒有發生過的事件, 沒有開始過的, 也會被人冠以過去式

    例如

    以前 暗戀的某某 (但 從沒一起過) = 那個人是我的過去式... (?... 好像不太對勁...)

    以前 想讀的科目 (但 從沒有讀過) = 那科目是過去式...

    以前 想做的行業 (但 從沒有做過) = 那份工作是過去式...

    大佬呀. 未經歷過點可以算係「過去式」 呀?

    past tense supposedly 係發生過, it actually happened 先算家嘛. ok even if you say your crush on someone is a thing that happened in the past, it only makes the action of having a crush belong to the past. it does not mean that the person you had a crush on becomes your past tense. get it? :/

    actually there is no point in this post muahahaha. thanks for letting me waste your time. i only wrote this after i randomly set a subject title for it. and none of the above really happened either. fictional stuff.

    so should fiction be past tense or present tense or future tense? theoretically it never occurred so shouldn't be past tense; it's not happening now either so won't be present tense; i also doubt if it'll happen in the future at all...

    so fiction should be a kind of assumption or "假設性" blah blah blah? what is it????

    好yeah我癲左亂諗野

    grammar 零雞蛋  *clap clap clap*
