I went to watch The Dark Knight last friday at AMK hub. It was a great movie indeed! No wonder Sherf reminded me over and over again that she wanted to go watch it. It was really worth my 6 bucks. The whole movie just got me sitting at the edge of my seat, excited and eager to find out what was going to happen next.




The joker was incredibly intelligent and an excellent manipulator of the mind. The way he planned out his whole escape route was so ingenius that I couldnt help but look on in awe. Then after the 2 hr plus movie we went to develop photos.




Sunday: Went out to study with Munyee! She filled me in with her interesting life story. I studied a bit of econs and did a teeny weeny bit of maths.



Today: Got teased relentlessly by a bunch of wu liao people in my class! Gah...Im too civilised to reveal the content of what they said so I'll just leave it as it is. But one thing I must say, although I was too nice to say it out then. For all those who were present then, its regarding n. Just one nicely aimed kick, and n, whereby n is a real number, will almost immediately become zero. Hah!



Okay Im off!

刚刚听了 “小人物的心声”。。。

也许我一个人
不能成就一番大事业
但我尽力贡献一份微薄的力量

也许我自己
不能发出万丈光和亮
但我能为斗室带来足够的光芒

我从来都不在乎
自己不是一个大人物
因为平凡也是一种幸福

看到名人总是忙忙碌碌
我的时间由我控制
平凡日子一样会充实

也许我一个人
不能成就一番大事业
但我尽力贡献一份微薄的力量

也许我自己
不能发出万丈光和亮
但我能为斗室带来足够的光芒

我从来都不在乎
自己不是一个大人物
因为平凡也是一种幸福

看到名人总是忙忙碌碌
我的时间由我控制
平凡日子一样会充实

我从来都不在乎
自己不是一个大人物
因为平凡也是一种幸福

看到名人总是忙忙碌碌

歌词还蛮有意义的。说真的,就算一个人有多么有成就, 如果过得不开心,那又有何用?虽然我现在算是个小人物,但日子也过得还蛮不错。。。



每天搭巴士回家时我都会经过这个游乐园,今天也不列外。奇怪的是, 好像有人在荡秋千, 可是周围一个人影也没有。。。难道这是灵异事件吗?


最近,不知不觉地,我发现自己越来越喜欢用华语来写出我的感想。或许是因为我已经太久没有使用华文了,所以很起劲的再用电脑打出华文字!



Alright. Enough of my crappy chinese. Im off!

Had a really funny day today. I haven had such a good laugh for ages already! And its all thanks to jessica! She's so humourous in her unique way and somehow today everything she says just triggers my "laugh" button.



Stayed up til 1.30 am on sunday night to have a heart to heart talk with my sis. We're so bloody similar in our character and thinking! We'd never want people to see the weak side of us so no matter what happens, we'll put up a false front. Sometimes it might seem that I don't care, but the more I care, the less I'll want to show it. I really don't know why, but all these thoughts are really pouring out now. I guess I just want a place to vent out my pent up feelings. I don't like to appear to be needy and so I'll never ever put my pride aside to make the first move to others etc, unless I know they wouldnt mind me coming to them all the time. You could say that Im insecure but even in my insecurity, I don't want any one to know. Often, I'll fear that all of a sudden, my friends will see the flawed side of myself and distance themselves. So sometimes, I'll be the one doing the "distancing" for a while, so that I wouldnt be hurt so much. Well, that was in the past, right now Im doing my best to prevent these old habits from arising again.




I feels so childish writing all these...sounds whiny oh dear. Im too people conscious. I might not really care what others think, but what my friends think are VERY important. Alright I'll just stop here.



Well, at least there are things worth smiling for! 加油加油!才四个月。。。我可以的!路虽然遥远,但应为有你们在,我一定可以渡过这个考验。。。



OFF

Tonight

I remember the times we spent together
On those drives
We had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York
Everything felt right
I wish you were here with me
Tonight

I remember the days we spent together
Were not enough
And I used to feel like dreamin'
Except we always woke up
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you, I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn't wait

I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late

I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus
And how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad
Sometimes not having you here
I sing

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you, I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I sing
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight


My sister got me quite hooked onto this song. Catchy yet sad tune as well as very meaningful lyrics about friendship mainly. I read her blog recently about friendship and I must say Im quite surprised to see that she felt that way too. This bond with others may seem so very strong at points of time, yet in actual fact they are really fragile.


I didnt realise until just now how similar my views are with my sister's. I suppose we are both people who appear nonchalance on the outside for fear of being hurt. Caring too much would just mean being hurt more if things don't turn out the right way. Oh wells.



算了,有些事情还是不要想太多。。。就像陈奕迅的歌词:
That’s just life
寻找梦里的未来
That’s just life
少点现实的无奈
不论风吹的时候
不再傍徨的时候
永远向前 路一直都在


No matter what happens, there will always be a way out. No matter what happens, life will still go on...

My dad is a thoroughly amusing person. In the car today, while going for lunch at some buangkok food court, for some weird reason, he suddenly proclaimed my sister to be the Minister of Defence, me to be the Minister of Finance and himself to be the Prime Minister. Wanting to poke fun at his stinginess, I jested, "Eh, since Im Minister for finance, why you never give me the money?? No money finance what?"



And then my sister spoilt my ploy.



"Cos Im minister of defence! Im supposed to defend the money!"



*Cold wind blows and the whole car suddenly felt like its freezing...*



My mom is one funny woman too. For some reason or another, I was questioning my sister's sanity, or rather lack of it. "I think your screw is so loose...mahmee you need to tighten up her screw!" I kind of whined.


My mom nodded her head seriously, "Yes, ask papa to tighten it. Papa got strength!"



.....



Oh wells. Im gonna blog in chinese for a while! Been a long time since I used it.


WARNING: Horrible chinese lang ahead. Dont read if you don't want your chinese language to deteriorate.



好久好久没用华语来表达自己的想法与其感触。。。最近不知道为什么总是时不时觉得自己很没用。每当我想起自己无论如何都无法了解Chemistry,我就感到很烦躁。会有那一天我终于对那个科目产生兴趣吗?



昨天,我,依雯和小宝宝 一起去Westmall吃午餐。可爱的主人真的是太好笑了!真没想到我主人果然是那么馋嘴!:)



回到家一看见有那么多东西要完成我就头痛死了。。。天啊!!


有时候我觉得我一点也不了解自己。 “为什么”这三个字总会浮现在我脑海里。为什么我会那样做,为什么我会那样想,为什么会为小事而感到烦恼。。。真希望有一天我能够解剖自己的脑袋, 看看里面的内容。。。



不知道为什么我就是很喜欢研究身边的人的每一个举动。从他们的眼神与话中猜测他们的想法。对我而言,眼神应该是人与人之间最能够表达自己的方法了。从单单一个眼神就可以感觉得到对方对你的映像-是否觉得你无聊,可笑,还是无趣。



Forget it. My chinese sucks to the core. 真的是孙先生坐在船上。。。逊!



Im gg off now!



I cant stand it when I get affected by reasons I don't even know. I hate it when I cant understand why Im so confused about everything that is not worth thinking about...

I was listening to Aurora by Angela and there was this very line that caught my attention: "chuan shuo de yu yan, yuan lai jiu shi lian ren de yan guang" and that got me wondering. Lian ren de yan guang..how does it look like? So on my hc class outing today, I was trying to keep a look out for that "yan guang". Trying discreetly to observe the couple of my class, it was quite disappointing that I didnt manage to catch any "yan guang" between them. Hmmm, maybe thats the secret. This "yan guang" is only shared between them and no one else is able to observe it but them. Maybe thats what makes it so special.




Surprisingly, the class outing today was attended by quite a large percentage of the class. About 2/3 or slightly more turned up. After everyone's initial surprise of seeing me there, the rest of the day went quite normally. I didnt feel like anyone was making any special, particular effort to try and be nice to me so it felt really quite natural.



We lunched at pizza hut and then pooled a bit before wasting a whole lot of time trying to decide what to do. That must be the greatest disadvantage of having so many turn up for an outing. Some wanted to k-box, others wanted to go arcade and a handful were thinking along the lines of ice skating or watching movies. In the end, I went to the arcade and for the first time of my life, played the Tou Lan Ji. Didnt know it was so fun! I shall go try it again some day.



After everyone decided to go home, Mel and I both decided that we havent had enough of pool yet, so we went to pool for an additional hour. And then it was dinner at Kobayashi. I think that we actually did the most things when there were only the 2 of us! Mel proved herself to be the better pool player, beating me 3-1!



And now...its back to reality-SCHOOL and HOMEWORK!!



*Faints*



Just read my sister's blog and to clarify things- I did NOT attempt to poison her using sodium cyanide or barium hydroxide because I have absolutely no idea where to find them! But before you think I love you too much to bear to poison you, my dear sister, do let me know the whereabouts of these chemicals so that I can carry out my plans to perfection. I know it'll work since you're such a glutton. The moment you set your eyes on those eggs, you wont even think about my intentions until you've goofed it all down. And then- Hurrah! I've rid the world of an evil!


And right now, my insane sister just shook her hands in front of me in a trembly manner and stared at me with the siao-ding-dong look. Then she declared, "Parkinson's!" And proceeded to shake both her hands in front of my face, as if to prove her point. Well, she has certainly proven my hypothesis of her right! She clearly and truly is the maddest and craziest girl I've ever encountered(She gives me a glare and attempts to press the "backspace" button...But I wont let her have her way! I must reveal these crazy acts to the rest of the world who don't know!) .......


Alright- Im off to bed! Damn tired.

Friday, July 4

I must say that this week has been a rather fruitful week in terms of enlightenment. I finally came to terms with my atrocious grades and have set up my mind to think only of how to improve from now onwards. Its too much to ask me to start studying very hard immediately, but I'll take my very first step-Finish all my homework in the shortest possible time. Because, as yiwen said, if you don't finish your homework, you'll never find the time to start studying. How true that is!




Went to gracie's house today! Its really huge and glassy and classy! Her pool looked so inviting! Except for the fact that there are insects in the pool. Having "tea" in her home made me feel a little like a royalty. We all felt a wee bit uneasy, which probably accounted for the silence while eating. After a while it got so weird, I just opened my mouth and said whatever came to my mind, in hope of easing the weird mood. And what I said turned out to be embarrassing events that happened to me and my sister in China about 2 years or 3 ago...



We had 4 quick games of contract bridge and it was so addictive! All I can think of after that was-I want more! Duo yi ge Duo yi ge zhai duo yi ge!! We nearly missed the shuttle bus back! But somehow the kind bus driver saw us running and waited for us.



Hmmm. I just realised how the more you think about certain things, the more troubled you become. The more you try to weigh pros and cons, the more confused you get. And after some time, even the most trivial matter can be magnified into this really huge problem, which is really silly since if you think about it with a clear mind, no matter how grave your problem is, its still never the end of the world even if you cant solve it.



Okay, im keeping this post short and sweet. Shall blog again another day! When I have more inspiration.



OFF.
