these days

If priorities are changed, would our expectation be changed? I guess it would. It might be happening to me now. I have never felt this way before. Maybe, it is a good change. I don’t know.

In less than 2 weeks, an exam marathon which has already lasted for 2 months is going to end. In the midst, I have really been physically and mentally drained. If someone told me high school was hard, this is really pathetic. The mere fact that there is consistently a presentation, an assignment, an exam or a project waiting for one to complete each week would simply drive any individual crazy. Frustration and tiredness haunts you day and night. You can’t go out with an empty mind and free yourself from worries. For this 1+ week ahead, I am left with 2 written assignments, 1 presentation, 1 practical and 1 written exam. After that, my months of hell are over. I don’t want to think whether my time during placement is going to be worst. At least, there is a short break for me to go out with my boyfriend without him reminding and worrying for me that I still have work to do. I want peace. I want to feel energetic. I want him by my side. To feel the warm of his soul. To listen to the sound of his breath. And I wish that it would last forever and ever.

Fell in love with a hollow man. :D

about me..

To my dearest brother and my beloved:

Thanks for all the care and concern!
Little monkey will stay strong with all your love.
Little monkey will learn to face the changes and to feel the world.

Little monkey knows that she is the luckiest monkey in the whole wide world to have both of you in her life... ...

With the warmest regards...
me

My junior college.

It is when you start to grow up that you begin to realise how much your teacher has taught you.

"Knock it, if Xiao Ding can do it, so can you!" Every Meridians who took Chemistry will never in their life forget this phrase by Dr Raman. It serves to pull us through all tests, exams and our very 'important' A levels. Unexpectedly, it is guiding through my hard times in university, like the very moment in time.

A place to remember...


MJC Chemistry Dept Farewell Video

This video is stunning. It probably reminded me of every aspects of my junior college life that I once grumbled about. The assembly ground. Our hall. The studying benches. The clock. Our chemistry test paper.The classroom. The lockers. The lecture hall. It just seems so long ago and yet, so fresh in my mind. Teachers of MJC were really admirable and I hereby take this chance to thanks all again, with all my heart. I might not be who I am now without them. :)

MJC Perkafe Advertisement 2006 by Pioneer Batch
An advertisement of the cafe named Perkafe we set up in school! Try to spot me in it! haha. So memorable!


A Production from the MJC Mathematics Department
Watched this a million of time! It really serves to relief stress!!!

Mass Dance!
And I really can't believe that our juniors actually make a video out of the mass dance with wordings! Now, we could not have any excuse of forgetting the dance step. :D

家人




很久很久没吃到妈妈的味道, 那天, 妈妈给我煮了我最爱的dishes, 感觉真的很幸福, 但是, 好像少了爸爸和哥哥的笑声, 好怀念那感觉啊。。。 一年内, 能在一起的时间真的很少, 真的很不想这样。。。 很想每天看到家人。。。 很想和哥哥一起斗嘴, 很想爸爸的吻, 妈妈的照顾。。。 这一切的一切, 会不会随着时间消失, 想起来, 真的有点害怕。。。 

很不想很不想长大。。。 

Endless amout of work...

Indeed, there is so much work to do now that it became impossible to do everything to our best of our ability. In times like these, we become frustrated with ourselves and question our ability to do the things we have chose to do. Maybe, we need to remember that nothing in the world is perfect and we are never meant to be superman or superwoman. Have times with your loved ones and never ever say that it is a waste of your time. Work is indeed eating up our energy and health but maybe that's part of life. Life of an university student of the modern world.

The beauty of being a student of our age is that we are still young and energetic. We can still survive walking around like a zombie with no sleep and food. oh well...

Stay cheerful!
Stay awake!

With you.

28th March 2009

Today marks an incredibly memorable day.
A day which will imprint on my heart, my mind, my soul.
Dreams indeed do come true, I believe.

Life is really a miracle.

At some points in time...

“I am so happy to see your smile, how I hope you were here to stay…,” Grandma said warm-heartedly. Her look was so kind and soft like a feather. It stirred my heart for that very moment in time. It jumped. It stopped. I have always sense that she likes me around but I have never heard it from her words of mouth. The feeling of something undesirable was going to happen to her was something unthinkable. I tried to be optimistic but something just does not seem right.

As I shared my French fries and continued chatting with her, I wondered the emotions that were hiding behind her smile. Maybe, she indeed told me that she had nothing to be afraid of at her age but the uncertainty that lies ahead surely does has some impact on the individual. I don’t know. I just want to pray that nothing suffering will happen. Happiness always.

Time to get back to core studying. No one would be real delighted if my results are in one way or another affected. JIA YOU! :)


P.S. Roomie YunTing... I miss you so much too...

Life. :)

Life can be so sweet just by merely knowing that someone special out there is caring for you. The existence of a wondrous thing called love allows us to live in world filled with joy, hope and security. This spiritual word allows us to leave behind all worries and to feel all so complete. Plans are of no importance. Love. It is coincidence. It is fate. It is a plan of God.

I was filled with love when I was brought to the world. Gradually, I have grown to learn to love. To learn that love is unconditional. To learn that it warms our souls.

Touch my heart. Hold my hand. Catch my breath. Our hearts may melt into one.



"Can This Be Love?"

Korean Drama and Movie Couples

I have watched so many Korean drama love stories in the past. It really makes our life sweet and perfect. How will my story be like? ^^

CAN THIS BE LOVE
Smokey Mountain (Jeffrey Hidalgo)


Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I know for certain I'm feeling right now
I don't recall ever feeling this way
Tell me what does one say
To one who makes me feel this way
Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I am not sure of this feeling somehow
Why do I tremble whenever you're near
I can't seem to say my words so you'll hear

CHORUS:
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times I'd tell you once again
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"

Can this be love I'm feeling right now
I love the feeling it's giving me now
A voice inside me is guiding me now
It's telling me now
To take your hand and say

CHORUS:
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times I'd tell you once again
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
This is the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"
It's the first time I ever felt so helpless deep inside
If I had to say a thousand times I'd tell you once again
This is the first time
This is the first time
It's the first time I'm gonna say "I love you"again.




P.s. JIA YOU everyone for the exams and tests or works ahead!!! Hold on. :)

感動


側田 - 感動

人浮遊在世不止自己 才令我一生好奇
尋求被愛的滋味 終於碰倒你
全賴你 我先欣賞自己 權力與金錢怎麼可媲美
誰攔截也擋不住 我在行近你

如何能讓我觸動你 如何描述可感動到你
要與你抱擁相戀一世紀 從來沒在乎你美與不美

是永不更改 我願意給你愛 風霜都替你遮蓋
你會看清楚 和了解我 未被人潮掩蓋
若你不安心 我做你的浮台 沖不散對你的愛
世界有色彩 憑這點愛 可否捉緊我齊齊來跨過 小障礙

誰願意作假討好大家 情願兩口子喝茶
平凡地並肩生活 比一切優雅
難道愛簡單都不能嗎 難道我感情要給規管嗎
從前沒你的生命 似靈魂腐化

如何能讓我感動你 明明沉睡都可望倒你
到老了也許通通不記起 能同揩白頭我太有福氣

願永不更改 每日獻給你愛 風霜都替你遮蓋
你會看清楚 和了解我 未被人潮掩蓋
若你不安心 我做你的浮台 沖不散對你的愛
世界有色彩 憑這點愛 雙手一觸碰 問你愛不愛

^^朋友们, 你们是否正在被感動之中?好甜蜜好甜蜜的MV.

:)

I love nights like this. Chatting over the phone in the presence of my roomie. Yet, time like this doesn't really last long. In the middle of the night, she left and I was left alone. Strangely, some things just started stirring my heart. I start to miss all of you again. I am used to being alone but in nights like this, I long for a company. To get me through my study nights and listen to my groans and signs.

But now, I need to get back to reality fast and stop wasting time!!!! EXERCISE SCIENCE test tomorrow! Jia you and Good luck. :)

Me with Pilates tower reformer... :)


Random me :P

三個心願



沁: 我喜歡妳的眼神 溫柔又危險
   請不要戴上眼鏡 我會看不見
   想要張開雙手 把妳寶貝
   想和妳天天見面 想帶妳環遊世界
飛: 我喜歡你愛逞強 笨笨的笑臉
   在心中抬頭挺胸 堅定的信念
   這個遼闊世界 不夠完美
   但有了你在我身邊 什麼都很ok
合: 第一個心願 為你 把幸福堆積
   天涯到海角 頭髮到呼吸
   下一個心願 給你 最好的自己
   再許個心願 我的愛把你佔領
沁: 為什麼為了小事 就要掉眼淚
   好像有太多的事 只能自己揹
   其實只要你說一句ok
   現在就立刻馬上 變成你的superman
飛: 這世上最重要的 不只是誓言
   只要你常常記得 親親我的臉
   我會永遠 記得這個今天
   還有很久的那一天 我也

個人很喜歡这首歌!!! 其实,真的很希望有喜歡的人带我環遊世界啊。。。 。。。
在那之前,要努力做好最好的自己,这個semester,在各方面要有前所没有的突破!!!

JIA YOU ARRR!!!!
2009 年万岁!!!

Set a goal. Make a wish. Your dream might come true. :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Unbelievably, I have entered the year 2009 -- a year which I would be entering adulthood and to be faced with loads of decision-making about my future. Nothing seems to be certain for now. Maybe, as the old saying goes, the unknown makes our lives interesting. There are so many possibilities lay ahead for me to have any concrete goals or dreams. I seriously do not know what exactly is best for me or exactly what I wish for. Stepping into adulthood is not as easy as I thought it can be, sometimes, people of my age says I think too much about life. Indeed, most people do survive without thinking, people do survive and live happily without much consideration and worries. And why am I thinking so much about my future plan? I wonder. I maybe afraid of many of the possibilities that would be happening in my life and wondering whether I have the abilities to accept them. I may, also, be in a state of denial, trying to ignore consequences of actions in order to live happily as a person. Coming home during the new year gives me time to rejuvenate and be a little girl again. Yet, in a few days time, I would be back in a world of reality, a world which I have to deal with my own cause. To think deep, I loved home and yet, I realised I have also come to get attach to the place called Hong Kong. It serves as a place for my metamorphosis. It made me grow. It helped me to discover my likes and dislikes. It made me discover the importance of home and friendship. It made understand the fight for survival and the reasons to fight for our own rights. Throughout my two years, my mindset and perspective about this place might have changed. It might be polluted and it too has beautiful hiking sites. It might be fast-paced and exhausting but I somehow realised that it goes all the same for people who are hard-working out there. The space for living might be all that confined but that gives a good start for a cosy home. The problem with Hong Kongers is that many of them just work too hard, no matter whether it is work and play. We just need to learn not to stretch ourselves to the maximal, things might turn out all fine.

The past year had been all great!
Loads of ups and downs that fulfilled my university life. :)
Having my first placement.
Flying off to Europe all by myself.
Being in touch with kind, sporty, aggressive, pervertic and muscular patients.
Being away from home for the longest period of time.
Survived few months of tremendous stress.
Getting to know great friends.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
HOPE ALL OUR WISHES COME TRUE!!!

Lives your life to the fullest. :D
Do not miss out on golden opportunities. Things might never turn back. Times changes everything. Our minds. Our hearts. Our goals. Our dreams. This might be especially true when we are young and we can afford those mutations. Regardless, changes scare me. Confuse me. Baffle me. Maybe, after my 21st birthday, I would have more courage in the things I do. I might need some guidance for now. :P

HAPPY NEW YEAR AGAIN!!! :D:D:D
