A joyful Christmas party of our own

Christmas is coming soon. Two parties are both held today. One is the ball which is united with National Taiwan University, the other is a small party of our own department. I go to our own party instead of the grand ball because I am really not a dancing person. (Actually, I am also very afraid of "clubs"!!! Shame on me, haha.) Our party take part in a restaurant located at 貓空. (I suggest students in 政大 should all go to貓空 at night at least once because the night scene there is just stunning. You can have a cup of tea while enjoying the starry sky.) It's much more comfortable to join our own party. We have some delicious food, exchange presents with each other and play games. I was also assigned to film a music video which would be played on the party. I chose to film the song "Sing in the rain". It was a classic  opera in 1952. I ask a friend of mine to jump into the fountain in the music video. And, we filmed that just a few days before. As we all know, the weather was freezing!
Here is the link of the video.

As for the present I bought to exchange with others, I bought a picture book named " There is nothing for you" (沒有東西送給你). It's a story about someone want to buy his friend a present. However, his friend told him that he wanted nothing. Therefore, he really put "nothing" in a box and gave it to his friend. Both of them were happy and still enjoyed "nothing". The main idea of this story is to tell people  that it doesn't matter  what you give; it is the sincerity that matters. Hope the one who got my present could understand that.

The chorus competition

December, the month of Christmas, come so quickly that I am even not ready for that. Time really past fast in college. I guess it's because we have so many interesting activities to participate in. And I love it!!!
After we had 包種茶節 at the beginning of November, we had a chorus competition last Saturday. Our department won the sixth place, and we were all very happy for that, though we weren't the best or even the second. Because we are a department of a few people, winning the sixth place is good enough. Recalling the days we spent practicing, I must said it wasn't joyful at first. Actually, it was really a mess. There were some arguments and misunderstanding between us. A week before the competition, when we were dressing rehearsal in 四維堂, we still suck!! I was so upset and hopeless. However, we progressed rapidly and magically just before the competition! When we practice for the last time before we stood on the stage, I almost burst into tears. I found out that I didn't want all of this ended so quickly because after the contest, we  wont stay together all night long. This activity, and包種茶節, really make us closer, and I happy for that from the deep of my heart.
And I got to say, college of communication rocks!!!!!!!!! The department of radio & television won the fist place, the department of journalism won the second place, and the department of advertising won 最佳舞台呈現獎! Congratulations!! Although I am still a little bit sad that we didn't get the最佳舞台呈現獎, the costumes really were amazing.
Well, the most important point is that we all had a wonderful time, right?
