For Apa khabar from Ya-Jhu

Hi! Apa khabar? Syaflqah. Do I spell it correctly? Nice to meet you. My name is Ya-Jhu Yang. You can call me Ya-Jhu or YA, as you like. Well, I was born in Kaohsiung County on 13 October 1992. I moved once. Now I live in San-Min district, Kaohsiung City, Taiwan. This year, I am seventeen years old, too. My family has three people, my father, my mother and me. I do not have any brothers or sisters. I like to read some novels and listen to Japanese music in my free time. And I like to play basketball and swim. My favorite food is spaghetti and sushi. I like to drink lemon tea, tapioca tea and water! I love all kinds of desserts made of chocolate, but I do not like the very sweet flavor. I love Teddy Bear very much, so do not worry about Mamat. I will take care him so attentively.

We started to go to school on 31 August. Now, I am a second grader in Mechanical Drafting department_ Kaohsiung Industrial High School. On October 23, the sports day, all students in our school will join the event. I will compete in broad jump and tug-of-war. On October 24, all of the second graders will hold a fair for their class. Our class, Mechanical Drafting of class B, will sell instant noodles and snowflake of ice. We decided to sell them, as they are cheaper than other foods.

Now, the weather in Taiwan is so hot and humid. What about yours?

I am so glad that I can have a pen pal. As I have not had one before, I am so rejoiced that I could have a pen pal in Malaysia. Maybe I could hear many things from you soon.

For Shaik Abdul Rahman by Scott

Hi ! My name is Scott. I'm your new penpal in Taiwan. I'm seventeen-year-old teenager，and I study in Kaohsiung Industrial High School Mechanical Drafting Department. We are learning to design something mechanical and preparing to be a successful mechanical engineer.


In Taiwan，there are diverse races and people on the island get along well. We have the Taiwanese，the Hakka and the aborigines.

Because of it，there are a variety of delicious foods here. Now，let me introduce you the best-selected.

Stinky tofu is one of my favorite. It's badly stinky but it tastes not only crispy but tender inside. Another one is Oyster omlet. Oyster is the seafood which I love most. It's made from eggs，vegetable，oyster and so on. Then，it is sprinkled the special sauce on it. How wonderful !

Tapioca tea is the top of the list. It is the champion drink in Taiwan. The tapioca tastes like gum， and you can cheeeeew it again and again. The little black things that you can chew it called “Pearls.”It's beautiful name draws many curious foreigners and they're eager to try some. Hope you love it !

Mamat's taking a nap. By Kay

  In Taiwan, students are required to take a nap after they finish their lunch. The experience is quite new to me. Although it is not very comfortable to take a nap in the extremely hot classroom, most of my classmates put their arms on the desk with their heads down, trying to get a nap, including me. Kevin, Ziv, and Charlie are responsible for maintaining order during the nap time. If any of the classmates breaks the rule, they will report to Kay, their homeroom teacher, and she will punish the violator. See, I am taking a good nap and it will make me energetic for the classes in the afternoon.

^O^ I know I am cute especially when I am being good.

Hello! My friends,

I want to show you about this picture. I was eating my lunch, but I thought other`s lunch was more delicious than mine. Look at this picture. I was looking at her lunch box, and I wanted to join for their talks. When I was listening to their talks, Kay was taking pictures for us. So I did not hear anything.

Oh~That was too bad. But I had a wonderful lunch time. I really enjoyed this time.

September 16 Lunch Time 2

This is the most marvelous moment in this school. Because we can have lunch and talk to each other. I had lunch with Alan，Scott and GK. They are all friendly but GK was holding so hard that I can't eat comfortable.

Finally，Alan and GK went to wash their dishes. I felt thirsty and Scott gave his dietary fibre juice to me. We are so happy.

Nice to meet you! I'm Angela(Jhuang-Yan-Rong). I'm a 16-year-old girl. My family has six people. I have a young brother. I often share my things with him. I also keep a dog. She is cute and energetic. I was born in Pingtung. Pingtung is located in the south of Taiwan. The weather in Pingtung is hot, even in winter. Pingtung's specialty is fruits, such as wax-apples , pineapple , banana , and so on.

My favorite fruits are strawberries and mangoes, because they are sweet , juicy and tasty. How about you? My hobbies are listening to music , seeing movies , going cycling. I often do that in my free time. By doing that, I can relax myself.

 I like English best of all the subjects. Learning English is interesting. It helps me communicate with foreigners more easily. I am poor in physics. I often burst my brain while I am writing the homework of physics.

I have a lot of wishes. To realize my wishes, I must do my best and work hard. Above all , I have to make great efforts so that I can enter university.

By the way, I like Chiness New Year , Moon Festival and Christmas Day, and you?
The Taiwaness are friendly and passionate. Hope you can visit Taiwan one day.
Lastly, I wish everything go well with you. Goodbye.

Kay has checked your journals!

Dear students,
It's great to see that most of your have met the deadline to post your response or journal for Mamat. However, I have two suggestions for you.
1. Post your own pictures if you can. A picture is worth a thousand words.
2. If you post somebody else's picture, please cite the source 註明出處. Otherwise, you may be against the law.

Special credits to 孟軒 and millions thanks for the one who posted the guideline for everyone.

Move on, guys! And you'll find writing is fun.
BTW, remember to give feedbacks in Mamat's blog. Your feedback will mean you care about your friends in Malaysia and the project.

The World Games 2009 BY.Monica

Today is May, 20, 2009. Today is the concert for the opening of The World Games 2009.

I went home with Chance by MRT. We arrived at The World Games station. The World Games station was crowded. The road in front of the World Games Main Stadium was closed.

I wanted to watch The World Games Concert, but I didn’t buy tickets so I was sad.




(picture from http://www.wretch.cc/blog/acdsee/30551884)





 Today is July, 23, 2009. I went to watch Racquetball games with my classmates and my homeroom teacher.

Although I didn’t know the rules of racquetball at first, this game made me nervous and excited. I think I love the game after watching the top player play of the world.

Today is July, 26, 2009. Today is the closing ceremony of 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung.

I went to World Games Main Stadium to watch the closing ceremony with my parents, aunt, uncle and cousins.

We got a LED light when we entered the Main Stadium. When all of the spectators in World Games Main Stadium turned on their LED light, the stadium resembled the galaxy.

The first show was the Taiwanese singer Chen Sheng. His voice was very distinctive and gentle. He sang Taiwanese songs.

Many of the commissioners delivered addresses. International World Games Association (IWGA) President Ron Froehlich said the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung was the best games ever.

The last show was the Taiwanese rock star Wu Bai singing performance. All of the spectators were very excited.

The closing ceremony of the World Games 2009 is the best show that I’ve ever watched.

I very proud because I am a citizen of Kaohsiung.

For Malaysia by Monica

Hello everyone in Malaysia. We are cheerful that we receive your letters, food and Mamat. Mamat is a nice and cute bear. All of us love him very much. He always have questions about Taiwanese things. He is a curious little bear.


I have a lot of questions about Malaysian culture. For example, Taiwan have lots of festive but it doesn’t have the Eid festive. I’m so curious about what the Eid festive in Malaysia is. I think it is an interesting festive.


Mamat wears Malaysian traditional costume. It is unusual in Taiwan. It is so different from Taiwanese traditional costumes.


We received Malaysian tid-bits. All of the classmates were very amazed because the Malaysian tid-bits were unusual. Although they were unusual, it was delicious.


Mamat is Malaysia’s ambassador to Taiwan. We will take him to every place, to taste Taiwanese food and to participate in Taiwanese culture. I think we are sure to give Mamat a memorable time. I hope you can experience Taiwanese culture by yourselves some day in the future.

Yo!!What's up?
你好嗎Ni how ma(it's means "How are you " in chinese.)? We are MDclassB.
Mamat in Taiwan is very comfortable. He is always happy.
When we saw him in the box ,he looked unhappy.
Maybe it was because the box was so dark ,But he is always happy with us.
We watched "Twilight" together ,and he cried. So we gave him a hug.
"Twilight" was so ramantic ,and always made people cry.
At the end of the movie ,we went to Jacky's home to sleep.
Yesterday ,we ate breakfast together because Mamat wanted to shop some clothes.
We decided go to Centrl Park station ,a very famous shopping place in Kaoshiung.
He is always happy.

Hello,everyone! I’m Sandra.
Mamat is a handsome baby. How old is Mamat ?
Mamat’s hobby is sleeping and mine is the same. I am also afraid of the dark and a ghost.
So I don’t watch horrible movies. Mamat wear contact lenses at school.
So I seldom see him wear spectacles. But why is Mamat short-sighted? I wear spectacles too.
It is so inconvenient.

We believe you! Mamat eats Cadbury when he is watching television and soaking-bath. Since Mamat come to Taiwan, he has eaten all kinds of local snacks in Taiwan. Especially, Mamat likes to eat the Stinky Tofu and Papaya Mike,and Mamat gained some weights. So we go on a diet together, play basketball and ride bicycles.

Please feel relieved! We take good care of Mamat. We will not let him get injured. He is good here. Don’t worry about him. Thanks for your attention for Chance. We wish your dream to come true.

To you guys:

Hey! Everyone. I'm glad to write you a letter. My name is Charlie, one of Mamat's best friends! He is now beside me. Say hi to them, Mamat! See? He is very nice and lively here!

I saw you talk about Twilight in the letter. I don't know that Mamat would like to see the movie as I and my sister, who had read all four books. The New Moon isn't in theaters now, but when it is on, we will buy a children ticket for him to watch.

By the way, the Keelung Ghost Day Festival in Taiwan is coming soon. In this Festival, we offer food to ghosts, who we call "Good Brothers" and our ancestors. To bless that we will have another good year gives Keelung Ghost Day Festival positive significance as a time for remembering the importance of filial piety.

I hope you can tell us more about your country, and about Chance's life there. Have a good time! Bye bye!

Hi ! We are Taiwanese student. We received your bear during the summer vacation. We felt merry because we made a new”friend” Mamat. We will take him to visit our campus. Don't worry. We can take care of him. We will make him happy. We hoped him who enjoyed Taiwanese life.

Sometime,we bring Mamat to eat Taiwanese food. Like stinky tofu or tapioca milk tea and coffin,oyster omelet and many kinds of food. They are very delicious. In Taiwan,one of the famous and popular food is Taiwanese fried chicken. Everyone likes it ! Mamat even cried when he ate it ! Mamat said ”he likes Taiwanese food very much.”

Mamat's hobby is sleeping. Maybe that is everyone's hobby. What kind of food does he eat ? Why does he like to eat cadbury ? Is “The Dark is Rising” is a horror movie ? It's name like a horror movie. We think we got a happy memory.

Thank you for your snacks , I haven't oaten any of them in Taiwanese never seen. For me, they are very special, and let me know more about Malaysia's delicious snacks . We appreciate your generosity. I am looking forward to your snacks . XD

Hello! How do you do? I am Jhong Yu Ting. You can call me Wendy. Hmm…….I am sixteen years old. Can you tell me about SMK Mengkuang?

Novels? I love novels, but romance is not my favorite novels, my favorite novels is about adventurous stories, maybe I am not like normal girls. Therefore, Darren Shan is one of the authors I like. However, I have read some romance such as Twilight.

Nervous? Ha! You are cute girls. Is Pylay Pinang your hometown? Can you tell me more about there? I think there is a beautiful place.

When I speak of our culture, the coming festival is the Dead Spirit Festival. This day, the Taiwanese always prepare a lot of things to eat such as fish, chicken, cookies, candy, pork and so on. Do not forget chopsticks and bowls. Sure! You want to say why! Because the ghost did something bad, they can not stop being punished until this mouth, July. July can rest and eat a lot of food. Do you have the similar festival? You can share it with me.

I want to tell you many many many events about our culture and about local foods, but I can not tell you all at a time. I promise I will continue to write a letter to you when I am free.

Then, I love music, too. But, my classmates always laugh at me when I sing the song. Recently, I love the song is bad day. Have you ever listened to it?

Oh! That is too disappointing. Do not be depressed. I am sure that you will be successful. If you never give up and work harder, your dream is sure to come true one day.

We all want to taste it.

Can you tell me what the Eid festival is? I'm so curious because Mamat's costume is beautiful. Where can we buy it?

You can see the pictures above the article. why didn't he wear his spectacles? Because we gave him a pair of contact lences.

All of our classmates are very proud now because we can also brag about we know you guys and "Mamat the bear."

There were have many people missing. Their family in safe places was worried about the missing ones; they hoped the rescue team to rescue their family at once. But it continued raining, which made them very heavyhearted.
I watched at the TV News in the evening. It was risky for the rescue team to cross the swollen stream. Seeing this, I thought I could do something to help. My class originated an activity” Funds raising Relieve,” to help the students of the disaster areas to rebuild their school, buy equipment and continue to school.

2009.7.23. World Games 2009 in Taiwan. BY Scott

Today is 2009.7.23，the 7th day of World Games 2009 in Taiwan，the day we were looking forward to for a week. Mamat and all my good friends would go to Racquetball games at the Martial Arts Stadium where my homeroom teacher worked as a volunteer. When we entered the stadium，we bumped into the mayor of Kaohsiung City. We gave her a big hand and cheered for her.
Although we missed some games in the morning. Actually the most exciting game in this series，the final， would take place at night. Finally the player from U.S.A，Jack beat his counterpart，Rocky，who was also from U.S.A
Because of Mamat，we got a chance to take some pictures with the world champion.
I also very appreciated my class teacher to invite us to join the games，and got the autograph form the champion.

July 23rd, 2009 The World Game BY Wendy

The World Game was held in Kaohsiung this year and it was the first time in Asia. I was to take part in it pleased for this.

Today, we went to Chung Cheng Martial Arts Stadium to watch the Racquet-ball by the MRT. We watched several games. One of the games which was the final matches of women and it was my favorite game. I thought that the match was the most exciting. Although the player I liked best did not win, I was still happy because I watched of all the games of the sport that I had never known before. You asked me which player I like best? Hmm…sorry I do not want to tell you. Ha! Ha! Ha! But just between you and me, Ronda is the player Wendy’s favorite player and we got her autograph. To our disappointment, she lost, but I thought she would never give up. However, there was a terrible regretful thing, since Wendy and stinking did not go home too late, they could not watch the final game of men, Wendy was a little depressed.

Finally, I hope I can join the activities like this with my new friends again.

July First.Summer Vacation's Life. BY Charlie

Ha! Ha! I am Mamat. I am going to tell you my life in class B of Mechanical Drafting in summer vacation. Here, everyone was very friendly to me. I fit in this class very soon. By the way, some of them were silent. But most of them were very active and lively. The teachers were nice to everyone. Some students, liked Shone and O-Lan, were naughty in class but they were all good people. They always make me laugh. I like the life and the friends here.
