Letter 17: My winter vacation

Hi Tim, my winter vacation was awesome. I went to school to play volleyball with my friends, and also learned how to play mah chung. Mah chung is a eastern kind of chess. You can often see them appear in Taiwanese or Hong Kong movies. Although it is complicated, it's not that hard to learn. First you have to draw 14 cards(not poker cards) and then you to get all of them settled. When you're playing, each tern you can dump one card and draw another, and when someone in front of you dumps a card that you already have a pair in your hands, you can yell out PONG! There you get one set. This activity is usually used in gambling, just like poker. But it does't take that long, normally you can finish a round in 10~15 minutes.

Letter 19: Fidget Spinner

Hey Tim, how's it going? We've changed our seats, and now I'm sitting with Candy and Tiffany. Although Tiffany looks a bit clumsy, she is super smart. She always gets super high scores in the midterm exam, and this time I didn't preform well on the test, so hopefully she'll teach me?

I recently found out a toy on facebook, Fidget Spinner. It's a small thing so you can play with it when you're walking and then keep it in your pocket. The way to play it is that you place in on your fingers and then spin it in high speed. And then, when you feel it spinning, you'll suddenly be satisfied. Please try it. It's highly recommended. 

Letter 21: Sleeping again?

Hi Tim. No need to worry, I think I'm brave enough to ask the girls weather they want to join the class basketball competition. The thing I'm worried about is Hugo hurt his back and kind of damaged his spine. Yesterday he even went to a hospital and did a tomography check. But I think he's fine because he walks normally now. He said when he got in that big and cold box, he even fell asleep. I was really impressed, no wonder he can easily fall asleep during class.

Letter 20 : Sing

Hi Tim. We're gonna have a singing competition in a several days. Summer chose a Japanese song for us to practice. First of all, I have to say it's god dam hard. You don't even understand the lyrics but you have to somehow memorize the whole song. Second, I always get confused with the pronunciation of Japanese. For example, te is pronounced as de. And also, our volleyball team made it to the national competition! We'll go to Pintung during 4/20 ~ 4/24 and wish us the best luck.
