Recent Thoughts

I have been through many things since the last blog here.

1. Friends... dear dear friends from Hong Kong and Macau visited me. Oh, how i miss them! i didn't realized until i have to be parted with them AGAIN. my tears just dropped uncontrollably.

I thank God for meeting them. With them, i can be myself. I know my own weaknesses. I can learn to accept it when i am with them and learn that they are that sort of people that give me most comfort. They accepts the me... the me with many weaknesses. What a comforting thoughts!

2. I have started to teach. I am teaching a mixture of subjects. Because of this, i can be more relax as i do not have to prepare too much and mark too much. I teach form4 Mathematics, form 2 and form 5 trash and treasure --> basically art class (using recycle stuffs) and form 1 Chinese communication. Hence, because of the only chinese communication class, i learn more about chinese culture again =) i am so glad about it.

3. I started to read Sense and Sensibility this holidays. So, i guess i might as well finished the whole book. My aim this year is to read many books.

4. So happened that my aunty gave me a Hong Kong drama series. I watched and loved it very much. Some of the content reminded me of Mathematics again! The Law of Large Number! amazing! and i am beginning to find that i actually like detective type of stories. Especially when the drama series/novel/comics does give me more knowledge.

5. I had followed a novel for some time, and it ended up that the novel is an on going stories. So i have to wait again. There is another comic too, ended up the same. Anyway it is good as well. haha

6. i am beginning to find that i should start writing more letters. So i set up a letter system at home since now the system had long been corrupted. So, next week i will be sending out two letters! Hoorays!

So far, this is some of the things about me and what had happened. I wish i can update more =) anyway, i want to wish all my friends a blessed day always because there is a God who really love us.

Franz Schubert - Impromptu in B-flat Major, Op.142 no. 3

this is somebody's favourite...

He promised that i will like it.

it sounds a little melancholic to me though. hehe

something to be reminded today

I am the righteousness in Chris Jesus therefore, by His strips I am healed =) Isaiah 53:4

my first day without a routine

this morning, i woke up and read bible.
Actually i was being lazy because i knew i slept too much.
how do i know that i slept to much:

check: if i had dreams. I dun usually have dreams. In fact, i dun like having one. =)
If i have dreams it means that i had slept too much.

Then, i went online. I played game, facebook my friends. I am not sure how and why, i can just pass the 2 hours before i start to doing something. I guess it's because of all those games.
oh yea, right, i read newspaper!!! seriously reading it. Well, for most part of it, i just skip. Even the discussion column is not worth reading, in my own opinion.

After breakfast, then i studied a bit of japanese. The progress is slow. But, i am satisfied. At least i did improve on it.
Somehow time flies, before long, i needed to go out to pass Oyster Card to my teacher!
So, there i go. After chatting a while with my teacher, i went back to cook!
yes, i am glad my mum did not cook my lunch. Well, then i get to cook my lunch which is porridge! It had been long since i cook.

I finished my lunch while watching an anime movie =P and then i proceed to watch movie and at the same time iron clothes.
I find that it's a relaxing day!

oh yea, in the morning, i phone up a centre to get a part time job. Here it goes, the amazing things:
I informed the receptionist that i wanted to apply for a part time job. She asked me to go to interview. I was very brave to even bargain the time for the interview =P
and know what? at first, she said interview, then because of the time problem. i managed to arranged it to Wednesday. She then said, all she wants to do is to brief me with the job nature, ie what to do and how to do, then i can start working in July! (did i hear wrongly???, dunno. the answer will only reveal on Wednesday evening. Wish me best! )
After the conversation, i think i am really blessed.

on my way to school, so happened that the sermon that i read was about blessings!
yes, thank God for all the blessings! the comanded blessings that will overtake me so that i dun even have place to hide it! =)

a de tour to library during my lunch time + random quote

read this somewhere:

親情是一帖特效藥，無論大病小病身心不適，24小時都情願為你有效。

so... because i am preparing for exam and it's a little bored... Therefore i decide to write something down. Something that i experienced a few minutes ago and my random thoughts.

Today, i decided to return a book that is going to due tomorrow. As i guess i will be quite lazy to return it to library as it is not very convenient, so i decided to return it when i had my lunch. I actually had to make a de tour to the library since it is situated in a very inconvenient location. So, there i went, trying to wear something that will not make me looks sexy, ie at least knee length shorts, big T-shirts so that a lot of my body parts covered.

On my way to the library, suddenly a lecturer say hi to me. I was wondering why, but still accepts it and returned with a smile. No sooner then i realized that the lecturer was unhappy with my attire and asked: "Are you sure they will let you in?". There.. there... i actually had forgotten how strict they are, in spite of my effort, trying to follow. Apparently, the biggest problem is my shoes! i was wearing a sandals. Argh, how could i forgotten such a big things!

To me, library should be a place that makes me comfortable. Maybe that is because i had experienced a library that give me a lot of liberty, so i had that opinion. Then, i linked it with the responsibilities and roles of library to encourage people to read. I wasn't a person who is library lovers. Why? I asked myself. I ponder about it.

Then, i got my answer. A great factor was because the library does not gives me home-like feel. I like to go to my University Library except during exam time when i cannot find a place to study. But, since i went to UK, i had started to like library because it is such a good sources of knowledge. When i first came back, i really had a trouble with the local library that i am using currently. This is because the system wasn't user-friendly, the librarians are not friendly and sometimes i can say, pretty rude, the unreasonable rules etc.

Hai, surely, i want a nice library and a library that makes people grow to like them itself. I suddenly thought of something that i can do at school next time =)

random thoughts

today.. i feel that i have many things to say:

1. i do not like the 'loud speaker' in my block. i wish that there is a switch that i can mute 'it'. The loud speaker just talk without consideration. Even around midnight. if the whole blocks belongs to her only, i do not mind. But the Loud Speaker does not seems to understand that there are people prefer silent night! i do not understand why. They should get a walkie talkie. It is not the time to practice how to throw the voice in dormitory, or is this another culture shock to me that people prefer this style now?
2. Why people just talk about nonsense and without proof. They just present the things in a way that they want and without seriously knowing what the things meant. And so the innocent audiences are influenced and get the wrong message. I will be very glad if nobody actually listens.
3. What does high performance means? I thought high performance is not just about nice looking, good packaging but rather it is about how efficient the 'engine' works. How much things can be done with the same inputs will determine how 'high' the performance is. However, it seems like nowadays people are too influenced by the advertisement and becomes advertisement itself. Many a times, just nonsense and inaccurate things are 'advertised'. The real core things are left behind or unmentioned or hidden somewhere. I do not like this 'advertisement world'.
4. Have people nowadays think about why they want to do certain things? it seems like not many. all they want is just people has it, then i will have it as well. I must admit, i did the same things sometimes, however i do actually will reflect on it. In this era when the information is overloading everyday, actually have people really consider how many rubbish actually coming to us each and everyday? Many people has this idea that if it is something that many people talks about, it is true, not knowing the nature of such rumours, statements or fact. So, i am thankful to International Baccalaureate where i was exposed to Theory of Knowledge which is helping me everyday in analyzing my input.
5. I learn many things today. i was happy to know certain facts. Congratulations to my beloved 'organization' where i spent 5 of my golden years, where i grew up and where i wished to continue to contribute to. You are the best. Congratulations to unmentioned, unnoticed 'machines' where i see that you are the best. I witness your 'packaging' and heard of your 'hard work' from very reliable source and certain of your 'power'. You guys are great. I 'admired' you and i love you. Do try your best and prove to the world!

holidays

this holidays been a happening one =)

first week: brother is hospitalized, so the whole week travelling between hospital and home. i did steal some time in between to do my work

second week: at home doing works. Basically didn't go anywhere

third week: went to a conference. did not really enjoy it but i get to meet up my best male friend. so i was really happy. We get the time to spend together, though in a very weird situation. Thank God that the friend was around, to cheer me up.

fourth week: went down to KL to attend a wedding dinner. I met up with my best female friend. We went around shopping. I met up with one of my seniors who is dear to me. I am so glad that I had that opportunity to be with her. She wasn't in a situation where she can share her feelings at that time with anybody. It was God's arrangement for us to meet up to share our problems to each others. After that i went down to Singapore. There, I met up with Univerisity friends as well as my secondary school mates. I missed all of them very much. It was really great to reunion again. I wish more opportunities coming up =)

fifth week: At first, i didn't dare to go anywhere, but at the end, i signed up for BB camps as well. Well, i am not very interested to join the camp. I rather hope to observe and learn from them. Indeed, there were lots of things to be learnt. It was an eye opener to me =)

sixth week: Basically, work, work and work. I did read up a bit on the quizzes that are coming up. But it seems like not helping at all when the real quiz came in January second week...

anyway, i think all in all, my holidays was a filled one. I met many friends who are dear to me and get to spend time with them and get to know more about them. Especially those two whom i really hold close to my heart! Forever is the time that i want to use to get to know more about you!

more updates next time ... hehe
