Letter 14: Christmas gift

Dear Tim:

Suddenly realized I haven’t share what I got at Christmas! Let me tell you now. The basketball team had exchanging gifts, there’s two kind of gifts, one is the regular one, “real gifts”, the other one is “bad gifts”. The real gift should be under $100, and the bad gifts is to bring something useless from home, but it has to be new and clean.

This was what I prepared.

The straw set I wanted to give out cost me $250, but the gift has to be under $100, so I take two of them away.

I added some candies to make it plentiful.

And the bad gift I gave out is a box of milkshake, it’s a gift from the cosmetic shops, I had try one pack but it wasn’t to my liking.

The milkshake a gave out.

These two are the gifts I got. Guess which is the real gift!

Letter 13: Happy New Year!

Dear Tim, this is Melody. Happy New Year!

This year I celebrated New Year at Miramar Department Store with my family. We used to celebrate at the famous building in Taiwan - Taipei 101. But I saw an activity hold by TGI Fridays, and it absolutely attracted me. We sit at the outdoor seat, what above us is transparent glass. The dinner started at 22:20,before it starts we stayed at Starbucks. 4 hours in Starbucks, I thought I  will feel bored, fortunately I had brought some books with me, that I could prepare the exam while waiting. (Final exam is at the corner ) 

Last meal in 2017.

When the fireworks began, what we needed to do is “look up”. Though we couldn’t see the whole fireworks, but it made me feel like the fireworks drop on me! It’s very special, isn’t it?

On the first day of 2018, I went to school in the early morning, because the basketball team had an activity,every of us needed to run a 2k marathon. 

2k marathon

When I arrived home the day before, it’s already 2:00 in midnight,after I took a shower, it’s 4:00, I could only sleep for two hours. After I finished the marathon, I ate my breakfast and fell asleep.
