MH370

I'm truly sorry and grieving for what happened to MH370
Although there're still lack of proofs
As a person who have half of his childhood memory about Malaysia
I am sad, and let's be silence for a minute.

Clashes as Taiwan students storm government HQ

Taiwanese police have clashed with hundreds of students who occupied government headquarters to protest at a trade deal with China.

Police used water cannon and dragged out students one by one, clearing the building by dawn on Monday.

More than 30 people were arrested and dozens hurt, police said.

The protesters say the agreement with China would hurt Taiwan's economy and leave it vulnerable to pressure from Beijing.

Another group of students and activists have occupied Taiwan's parliament since early last week.

The BBC's Cindy Sui in Taipei says the students wants more scrutiny over all future dealings with China, including any trade agreements.

They also want the current deal - which would allow the two sides to invest more freely in each other's services markets - to be scrapped.

The governing Kuomintang party says it is determined to ratify the deal with Beijing, which it says will boost the economy and create jobs.

China formally regards Taiwan as a part of its territory, despite the island governing itself for six decades.

Trading partners

The protests began early last week after ruling party MPs said a joint committee had completed its review of the pact, which was signed in June 2013 but has not yet been ratified by MPs.

Students broke into the legislature late on Tuesday and have since defied police efforts to evict them, using barricades made of furniture.

On Friday thousands of people rallied to support the students, and the the opposition Democratic Progressive Party has also backed them.

On Sunday, President Ma Ying-jeou said that the occupation of parliament broke the law, adding: "I must say that [the pact] is completely for the sake of Taiwan's economic future."

Late on Sunday, some protesters pushed past riot police to storm the government headquarters, pulling down barbed wire and using ladders to access second-floor offices.

Violent clashes erupted as police moved to restore order.

China is Taiwan's biggest trading partner and in recent years ties between the two have improved.

The two sides split at the end of the Chinese civil war in 1949.

Earlier this year, however, they held their first direct government-to-government talks. In the past, all talks have gone via quasi-official organisations.

They have also signed several trade and investment agreements in recent years - but some fear greater economic integration with China could threaten Taiwan.

Taiwan Parliament Occupied by protesters 1st time in History

The Service Trade Agreement (服貿協議) is one of the biggest trade agreement between China and Taiwan. Since it was secretly signed in June, 2013 in Shanghai, the opposition party Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and several civil groups requested that it be reviewed through the Parliament. On Jun 25, 2013, the ruling party KMT reached consensus with DPP to review the agreement “sentence-by-sentence.” According to a survey conducted by Liberty Times, 70% of Taiwanese citizens believe that the STA should be reviewed sentence-by-sentence.

The major opposing argument against STA concerns its negative impact on national security and lower-class workers, which might be widely ignored by the KMT government. Once STA took effect, many opponents of the trade pact worried that the infrastructure including roads and online service in Taiwan could be taken over by China companies.

On this Monday (3/18), the agreement was scheduled to be scrutinized by the Internal Administration Committee. Due to a huge conflict between the two parties, the meeting did not take place. In the afternoon, the Chair of committee, KMT Legislator Chang Ching-chung, suddenly declared outside the podium that the agreement was now “passed to the Parliament for vote.”

This declaration was regarded by DPP and civil groups as a violation to the Constitution as well as violating the common practice in the Parliament. Several civil groups organized protests, and more citizens were mobilized through the Internet to gather in front of the Parliament.

On Mar 18, 21:00, protesters stormed into the Parliament after hearing KMT announcing there would be no further review on the trade agreement. Protesters entered the building through all entrances, and they used chairs to prevent police entering and arresting them. Moreover, protesters broke into Chang Ching-chung’s office, and found numerous business cards from Chinese companies.

Louis Vuitton vs. Chanel Fall Winter 2014/2015

So the two highlights of Paris Fashion Week were over
And apparently I'm talking about Chanel and Louis Vuitton

I love the "new" Louis Vuitton
I've always had no love to Marc Jacobs
And I just LUUUUUUUVE Nicolas Ghesquière's design (And he is hot as hell

I mean...Hmmm Yeah

The skirts are perfect, the cut, the color, the fabric
They were so chic
I love every piece of them I'll definitely take them home if I'm rich

Now let's just have a little moment about Chanel
Yes a supermarket is cool, but the clothes were just...not for me I guess
Those "clothes" made those models look like a 40-year-old divorced mom trying to look cool
But in the end the mom has over-sized boobs and an over-sized booty (Perfect for TWUUURKING
And the basket? Like seriously? You're really in a supermarket, aren't you?

But those are just MY BITCHY opinions
You can have your own
Did I mentioned Nicolas Ghesquière is so hot that I want him to sit on my fucking face?

I Fancy Da Fancy

I know this is a lazy topic lol
But THIS IS PERFECTION!
And that's all I need to say on this subject :-*

2 a.m with My Father

So there're a lot of things going on since my latest update
I started my winter vacation, I went to Thailand, and now I'm back in my hometown

Last night( literally it's "night"...2 a.m I mean
I had some conversation with my dad
With the accompany of the wine and the jazz, my dad seemed quite relaxed
We talked about stuffs that aren't necessary important, something that had bothered him

He's always worried about his kids' future, he's always worried about his parents' health
I got a feeling that he doesn't care about himself that much
He said that's why he's working so hard, not a day he's home earlier than 11 p.m
Because he has 4 children, 2 of them are still young, 2 f them might need to go study master's degree
He needs to save up some money for us, his kids

He is also saving for his parents, my grandparents
He's saving for their annual travel, he's saving for their health check
He has always been a nice son, and he'll continue to be

I'm pretty sure that I don't want to spend his money after my college years
After I graduate I'll go to US, study fashion, and pay my own tuition since then
And I also want to pay the money that I spent for these four years
Because this is what a mature, independent adult does
I maybe didn't realize this when I was 18, but I'm ready to take this when I'm 22.

So cheer to the future and independence, cheer for me, but most importantly, cheer for my father
At that time he raised the glass, which was filled with red wine from France
And he said "I'm happy being busy, I'm happy for supplying my family a sufficient life."

New blog, new start!

Look back to my 2013
I have some high and lows
In my new year video I listed 5 of my favorites
But my 2013 is more than that

My past is my past, it's not what I want to say here
As I've become 20 years old
I realized that it's already the time to be responsible for my own life
Every decision, every word that came out from my mouth, every mistake is my responsibility
It should be when I turned 18, but I didn't actually realize it, so that put me into what I'm into right now
I used to blame it on my parents, blame it on everyone else but me
Now I just realized that I'm the only one to blame actually.
I'm 20, I need to grow and be independent.

So, new year, new start.
I wish myself to work harder and be more responsible
Don't be afraid to chase after what you want, then maybe you'll have a chance to win this.

Peace and love.

PS. I know it has been a while since Jan 1st, but I was busy working on my finals
So I get to finish this blog today, don't feel weird if it is published at Jan 11...
