RemINDeR

hmmm....after almost two weeks without doing anything special, it's time to pick up the original plan and head off.

as a reminder, I list several things down now.
first of all, learn english, focusing on speaking and listening. I think my listening has been improving a bit, since I've found myself understanding people more often even they spoke a bit fast. However, my spoken English hasn't made any tangible improvement. What is my goal? speak fluently and speak with the accent i like. Although the objective is quite high, I still love to take on the challenge to see how far i can go for. Don't forget that now is the best time to do what i've wanted to do for ages -- fully concentrate on learning english. Never waste the chance. I heard an interesting hypothesis from a podcast that if you choose a person you like to sound like, and learn and mimic the sound and rhythm he or she speaks, after a while, you'll be sound like that person. I quite agree this idea since I had the similar experience before. Thus, I started wondering whom shall I choose as my "English language" role modle? "Ah! that girl works at the Bar!". that's the first thought came across my mind. but it's a bit hard to listen to her speaking very often and repeat as many times as I want. Recently, i've just got the idea -- Jamie Oliver. I reckon I'd love to sound like him. When I heard of he's speaking at the first time, his English impressed me a lot and it sounded really nice and interesting to me. Yes, I've made the decision. He's got loads of videos online that i may find the learning materials without hassles.

Next, keep studying Android and iOS. it was a shame that I didn't continue my study on Android that I'd learnt it when it was in very early stage. Now, I've got plenty of time to do so. But, sometimes one thought haunted me that "Hey, you're in the UK! why do u spend your time doing the thing you can also do in Taiwan?" Well, I will figure it out.

Finally, experiencing and exploring as much as possible here. (TBD. i've got to sleep now. )
