I am a person who addicted to music very much. And of course I love to go to live concert. For me, watching live is the commonest activity that I would choose when I am free, since some live show not only make me feel relaxing but also very exciting. Except of beautiful melody, sometime I even can get energy from the passion of audience and the excellent performances of musicians. Thus, I want to talk about live concerts that I watched recently.
The first show was the debut of “Sugarpill”. The leader of Sugarpill was my good friend “Po”. He was a talented boy! He set up the band, became the leader, composed every song and even in charge of lyrics and singing parts. Since last year, Po never stop creating songs to make his band became stronger. They first won the first prize of Golden Melody award in National Chengchi University. Then, Po and his band participated in a music contest hold by The Wall, a famous live house, in order to gain the opportunity to perform in The Wall. Soon, they held their debut on 16th night. Since they were just a brand new band, we fans can only heard demo versions of their songs. Therefore, I felt extremely exciting before the show. Out of surprise, their music is very mature. There were no signs to show the all band members were merely twenty years old. The only disadvantage was that the sound of mics were too small. Sometimes I can barely hear Po’s voice. What a pity!
During the show, I especially love two songs, one is “Eleanor” and the other song is called “The Way You Deceive Me”. According to Po, Eleanor was the name of his first girlfriend. Hence, his wanted to make Eleanor as beautiful as his first love. I like the last two lines “We were waiting for the train also the dream we had; we were waiting for the rain also the dream we had traced.” Every time I listen to these two lines, I can tell how deep his missed the memory of his first love. As for the other song, I just love the melody. Po’s melody always made me feel comfortable and warm. As a result, whenever he sent me a new demo, I would keep listening to that particular song for a whole night. No Kidding!

To me, this is summer is a very, very special summer, since two little cute rascals came into my life. They are my new pets, my dear babies, the two little kitties whose names are Hei-hei and Kuai-kuai(黑黑與塊塊). My uncle’s cat Chiau-chiau, an orange wild cat, is their mother. Chiau-chiau was not a well-behaved cat. It was impossible for her to stay at home all day long. She liked to play with other neighborhood cats outside the door. Soon, she got pregnant and gave birth to five little kitties. After our two months long observation, we chose Hei-hei and Chiau-chiau to join our family since both of them were very healthy and looked very cute. Most important of all, their personalities such as their temper and self-control are better than other little cats.
During the whole summer vacation, they served as my best companions. Though I still had to deal with some little troubles like cleaning litter box for them, or helping them to take a shower, I enjoyed most of time when be with them. Actually, I think the most difficult part was the shower time, for they feared water and hair dryer very much. Whenever I opened the water tap, they would totally freak out no matter how careful I was. Then, the situation would get out of control. They would become very crazy and uncontrollable. And they would leave me some scars on my poor arms when every time I tried to rein them. But I never angry at them for hurting me, deep in my heart, I know cats will never act like a good kid. It is best for them to grow happily without any pressure. I really love them. My dear babies- Hei-hei and Chiau-chiau.
