Graduation Trip--the Last Day

Today we are in Yamay (月眉育樂世界).  The students must be exhilarated enjoying all the recreational facilities in the park.  Guess whether I'll take any exciting ride?  I won't ride the roller coaster.  That's for sure.

This entry was kept on Tuesday, June 22, too.

Graduation Trip--the Second Day

Today we're going to stay at Sitou, one of my favorite resort.  I love the bamboo forests there.

NTU Graduation Ceremony

Touched

I was touched when I got Spencer's phone call this evening asking me if I'll be at the NTU graduation ceremony tomorrow. If yes, he would like to have a photo taken with me. He remembered that my son is graduating from graduate school this year and assumed that I'll go to the ceremony. "Yes, I'll be there," I answered.  "Even if it were not because of my son, at your invitation, I'd definitely go," I added.
