Watched the women's volleyball match again. This time, I feel really pity for the Russians. They were so close to the gold medal, but they lost. Sigh, perseverance is really something that counts in the end. Just like Li Jiawei, because of the lack of perseverance that makes her too occupied with scores, she lost the semi-final. I still feel so proud of our China's volleyball girls and all other athletes who participate in the Olympics. No matter what are the results, I salute them.

Mum tells me last night that all the achievements of the gold medalist come with immense hardwork. Liu Xiang trained much longer and harder before the game. Xing Huina's coach brought her to the northeast point of China in the winter to train her long distance running. Volleyball girls went to Zhuzhou (a city in my province) for the final training where the facilities are below standard. "天将降大任于世人也,毕先苦其心志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身..." The ancients do know the secret to success.

Borrowed "Godfather" from Ding Ning yesterday. I even don't dare to continue watching after half an hour. I really don't expect it is a movie about Mafia... only know it is a very famous movie... very scary, indeed.

One down... four more to go

GP is finally finished... I did a mess for my application question... really ran out of time... For essay, I wrote one about Singapore... really feel it is a suicidal question after I finished...

Anyway, though the paper may not be disastrous, it is also not at the better side... Good Luck..

Watched 'Garfield' straightly after GP... relaxed.... really suitable to watch especailly after a demoralising exam...

No paper tomorrow, a great relief to me.... Next paper starts a week later... happy studying!

Prelims start!

2004-09-01T20:54:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow marks the beginning of my first Prelim paper: GP.... cannot think of anything scarier than this one...

Pray for the miracles to happen... hope my hardwork will be paid off..

尘埃落定

2004-08-30T18:52:00.000+08:00

I think I need to write something in English. Having been writing Olympics in Chinese for quite a long time.

Athens 2004 summer games is finally closed. Suddenly, I felt a sense of emptiness when I woke up this morning, switched on my laptop as usual, and realised there is no reason for me to check the medal table again. Everything has come to an end. The 16 days have passed so fast, I told myself. Pan Yu tells me if Olympics is held once a year, I won't be so excited and so obsessed with it. If China is not a strong nation who can won so many medals in the games, I won't be so concerned about the medal table. It is really true, I must admit.

China has really done us proud this time. With 32 golds, 17 silvers and 14 bronzes, we have achieved an unprecedentedly amazing result. Furthermore, our source of medals has expanded greatly this time. Quoted from Yuan Weimin, Chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee during the Chinese Sport Delegation Press Briefing:"We have realised our target and accomplished our task successfully. Good results and good sportsmanship. Compared to the Olympic Games Sydney 2000, we have won three more medals, while a further 20 athletes achieved top 8 results. In Sydney we won medals in nine events and 28 disciplines, while in Athens we won medals in 12 events and 47 disciplines." Some of the medals really come with huge surprises such as the golds in women's tennis double, men's 110 hurdle and women's 10000m. There are also some medals are missed with great disappointments such as men's table tennis single, men's badminton and men's 3m spring board synchronised diving. Chinese female athletes have undoubtedly outperformed male counterparts in all the events. The female athletes obtained more than 60% of the gold medals. I am also particularly impressed by the great sportsmanship and never-died fighting spirit displaced by volleyball girls in their gold medal match against Russia. Watching their performance is a definite inspiring experience. A big cheer for them.

During the closing ceremony, the Men's marathon victory ceremony was conducted. Athens is indeed a place full of legends and wonders. More than 100 years ago, the first modern Olympics was held in the birth place of Athena, Plato, and marathon. 108 years later, the games return to here. However, according to the reports, what Athens has inputted in the game is far beyond what they have received. The debt incurred will make the taxpayers in the country to repay for more than 10 years. Being an expensive games, Beijing has reasons to pay attention on the cost during the preparation for the 2008 games. Being an developing country, China cannot afford to waste too much resources and funding.

Really hope I will be privileged enough to be a volunteer in 2008 Beijing Olympics. I really hope I can contriubte as much as I can for the first Olympics held in my homeland. Listening to the theme song of 1996 Atlanta Olympics "Reach". Just realised I sang the song during my prefect's investiture in Cedar. Though there are injustice and scandals in Olympics, I still believe that it is the game that athletes all over the world will meet, compete and build friendship. People all over the world will be able to appreciate athletes of their own and other's countries and further promote international understandings. The opportunity is so rare.

Farther. Faster. Higher. Yes, if ever I could reach, higher, what would I be?

好样的,女排姑娘们!

2004-08-29T03:45:00.000+08:00

女排的金牌成了中国在雅典奥运会上的第31块金牌. 赢了后的排球姑娘们高兴地蹦着,跳着. 她们的确应该高兴, 更应该为自己感到自豪. 在0比2落后两局的情况下,排球姑娘们调整好心态, 稳扎稳打, 连搬3局,20年后重新回到了奥运的冠军领奖台上.

在我印象中,爸爸妈妈总会向我提起女排的"辉煌往事". 在中国体育事业还处于成长的婴幼儿阶段时, 中国女排曾经一时称霸排坛, 无人能比. 女排姑娘们无疑是中国人民坚强的代表们. 真不知道当时的她们激励了多少在那一个时代的人. 但一批象郎平一样的老将退下后, 女排好象也再没有象原来那样辉煌.

但是今天, 我终于有幸自己亲眼看到中国女派的顽强的精神. 其实, 最让我印象深刻的不光是他们精湛的球技和稳定的心理, 她们脸上永远无法抹去的笑容更让我震撼. 无论输球赢球, 女排姑娘们都互相拍着队友的肩膀, 笑着互相鼓励, 即使在她们落后两局的情况下. 我真的不愿意看到她们输. 因为我知道即使她们输了, 她们也会带着笑容的--难过的笑容. 有中国13亿人民在后面支持着她们,女排姑娘没有理由会输的.

这次的奥运会有很多这样的大逆转, 不光是中国, 更有其他国家的运动员. 永不放弃, 是我最欣赏的精神, 不光是在体育中, 也是在生活中, 也许是因为我是一个很喜欢放弃的人吧. 从运动员身上, 真的可以学到很多.

中国短跑历史上的第一枚金牌

2004-08-28T02:48:00.000+08:00

已经马上就要三点了, 自己却激动得不得了. 刘翔刚刚拿到了110米跨栏的的金牌!!!

太有历史性了. 这是中国田径短跑历史上的第一块金牌, 也是第一块奖牌.

其实, 我没有料到他会赢得这么轻松, 这么明显. 1983年出生, 刚刚过了21岁生日, 真可以说是"出生牛犊不怕虎"!! 太张中国人志气了!!!

好样的, 刘翔!

再一次, 雅典真是一个神奇的地方!

韩国人竟然活生生地从我们手上拿走了一块金牌!

2004-08-23T19:55:00.000+08:00

很伤心, 乒乓球队没有完成包揽四金的目标. 男子单打的王皓刚刚在决赛中输给了韩国的一个人(实在不想知道他的名字). 现在只诅咒他药检出问题!!!

虽说中国已经有22块金牌, 超额完成了任务, 王皓也是小将, 以后还有的是机会, 但是多少心里还是会有一些不高兴, 因为这毕竟是我们的国球啊(虽然我自己打得很烂...很丢脸)!

其实我也知道, 乒乓球一直被中国人称霸也不好, 这样这一项体育运动就没有发展了. 这次奥运会显示出中国在很多传统项目上的优势在逐渐缩小(乒乓球, 羽毛球, 跳水, 体操), 但是我们的优势在别的项目上又在慢慢显现, 最明显的就是昨天的网球. 这也说明我们的体育事业在逐渐走向成熟...

不管怎么样, 还是希望那个韩国人药检出问题!!!!

历史性的网球金牌!

2004-08-23T00:04:00.000+08:00

中国刚刚在雅典奥运会上拿下了历史性的网球金牌!! 我们名不见金传的女子双打李婷和孙甜甜竟然一路冲进决赛, 在全国人民的加油和我的"存在主义"下, 越战越勇, 拿下了金牌!!!

雅典真是个神奇的地方.

今天中国队很走运, 不仅张怡宁4:0轻松地拿下了女子乒乓球单打的冠军, 同时也是中国奥运军团的第100块金牌, 50米的气步枪竟然也出乎意料地因为美国的白痴性的失误而拿到了一枚金牌...

还是只想说, 雅典是一个神奇的地方.

中国女生真是太强了!!! 毛主席说妇女能撑半边天, 现在看来, 至少2/3的天都是中国姑娘撑起来的... 好样的!!

Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living.

It was a cowboy's life, a life for someone who wanted no boss. What I didn't realize was that it was also a ministry.

Because I drove the night shift, my cab became a moving confessional. Passengers climbed in, sat behind me in total anonymity, and told me about their lives. I encountered people whose lives amazed me, ennobled me, made me laugh and weep. But none touched me more than a woman I picked up late one August night.

I was responding to a call from a small brick fourplex in a quiet part of town. I assumed I was being sent to pick up some partiers, or someone who had just had a fight with a lover, or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial part of town. When I arrived at 2:30a.m, the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under these circumstances, many drivers would just honk once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away. But I had seen too many impoverished people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to the door. This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance, I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked.

"Just a minute," answered a frail, elderly voice.

I could hear something being dragged across the floor.

After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase.

The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.

"Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said.

I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for my kindness.

"It's nothing," I told her.

"I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated."

"Oh, you're such a good boy," she said.

When we got in the cab, she gave me an address, then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"

"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.

"Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice."

I looked in the rearview mirror. Her eyes were glistening.

"I don't have any family left," she continued.

"The doctor says I don't have very long."

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.

"What route would you like me to take?" I asked.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighbourhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes she'd ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

It was a low building,like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico. Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her.

I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.

"How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse.

"Nothing," I said.

"You have to make a living," she answered.

"There are other passengers," I responded. Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.
She held onto me tightly.

"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she said.

"Thank you." I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light.

Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.

I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. For the rest of that day, I could hardly talk.

What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?

On a quick review, I don't think that I have done anything more important in my life. We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small
one.

PEOPLE MAY NOT REMEMBER EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID, OR WHAT YOU SAID,
... BUT THEY WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.

Table Tennis Women's Single Semi-final

2004-08-22T11:47:00.000+08:00

Very impressed by the amazing performance presented by Kim Hyang Mi, the North Korean table tennis player in the women's single semi-final against Li Jiawei from Singapore.

During the first four games of the match, even myself believe that Li Jiawei is going to win, though I am very much inclined Kim Hyang Mi to win the match. It is partly because Li Jiawei defeated Wang Nan, China's second seed and a well-loved player; it is also because I am afraid Li Jiawei has spent much time to study how to play against Chinese player which may pose a great threat to Zhang Yining, who will be playing the winner of this match in the final.

Kim Hyang Mi lost her third game with an astonishing score 0:11!! After 4 games, Li Jiawei leads with 3 to 1. Li Jiawei only has to win one match out of the 3 games available in order to get in final; Kim Hyang Mi has to win every game. After studying statistics (or even using the common sense), the probability for Li Jiawei to win is much higher.

However, miracles do happen. Kim Hyang Mi slowly won all the rest 3 games and finally clinch the chance to get in final. In facing the great difficulties and disadvantages, Kim Hyang Mi never gives up and fight until the very end. If I were her, I may just collapse after the disastrous defeat in the 3rd game. Kim Hyang Mi really presented the true sportsmanship. She deserves to win the match, indeed.

Kim Hyang Mi will be facing Zhang Yining today in the final. Though I very much hope Zhang Yining will win at last to bring one more gold medal to China, and I believe she will win, I still hope to see Kim Hyang Mi's spirit and amazing performance in the match.

Farther, Faster, Higher!

How China manufactures Olympic champions?

2004-08-19T22:06:00.000+08:00

The cover page of this week's TIME is Yang Wei, our gymnast swings across the parallel bars in the Gymnastic competition and the subtitle states: How China manufactures Olympic champions?

After reading the cover story "The price of gold", I cannot help but thinking about the selection system in Chinese sport world which is highly "gold-medal orientated". Actually, I have been heard so many times from my parents all their friends that the life of athletes in China is really tough and hardly. The article about the selection and training system in Chinese sports world, I would have to admit, is largely accurate. China trains thousands of young boys and girls at their very young age. However, not all the hardworks will be paid off. Only a few elites among them will be fortunately enough to represent China in the major games like Olympics. Many of them, will even have no chance to represent China in any single competitions. The dream, the purpose that driving through all the unimaginable hardships will just turn out to be a great disappointment. In my view, it's really not fair to them.

The root of this phenomena is simple: Chinese always take the nation's pride and glory above personal interest and freedom. In the history, in order to comply the nation's call, one can sacrifice his own interest or even the precious life without much hesitation. Jin Ke, the assassinator who attempted to kill Qing Shi Huang, accepted the request from his country, Yan, without much consideration on his personal safety. Many "heroes" in Chinese history are named not so much due to their achievements, but due to their courage and resolution when choosing between the nation and themselves. Though many Chinese, our leaders and even the athletes themselves know the training and selection system in Chinese sports world is unfair and inhuman (to certain extent), few of us speak out. It is not because our government will punish the one who voice unhappiness; it is because we, including the athletes think to sacrifice for the nation is worthwhile.

Although the system is not practised in China only, I would like to say that China is the most severe case, and in the short term, there will no much changes. With 2008 Beijing Olympics coming, we can expect a greater number of young girls and boys prepare to sacrifice for the nation. However, as it is the Chinese mindset, we cannot run away with it. Maybe we can just hope there will be some changes in the near future, not drastic, but gradual.

体操男子全能

2004-08-19T03:16:00.000+08:00

一直在看奥运会的体操男子全能比赛.中国队只有杨威进入了决赛,所以一直在用我的"存在主义"来为他祈祷着.

前四项都相当不错地完成了,一直都在第一名.谁能料到在杨威第五项的单杠中,他竟然会犯了致命地错误,掉下杠来... 于是一下子夺冠的希望渺茫...

现在他排在第九名,差第一名0.4分.只剩下最后一项自由体操了.会不会有奇迹发生呢?我会一直为他加油的(还要诅咒其他国家失误)...

加油!

真的很希望杨威可以拿这块金牌!!

Thorpe won again!

2004-08-17T01:37:00.000+08:00

Watched Athens 2004 swimming men 200m freestyle final just now...

It was a highly anticipated event for many people as the two top swimmers: Ian Thorpe (AUS) and Michael Phelps (USA) will compete for the gold medal...

As usual, I support Thorpe, and he won the gold...(actually, I should be so happy as after this medal, Australia is only behind China by one gold medal... Though I know after the track and field event starts, USA will be undoubtedly the top gainer in the medal list...) Phelps only came in the third, which is quite disappointed to me as I thought he would be the strongest competitor to Thorpe on his road to the gold... anyway, Phelps is only 19 years old (even younger than me as he is born in June)... he has plenty of time to gain his experience.... as well as glory...

However, China seems not doing very well in the badminton event right now...

Later, there will be men gymnastic team final and diving finals which are all events that China may win medals (GOLD MEDALS!!) really looking forward to watch it and give my full support to the athletes... but thinking about tomorrow I will still be having lessons ( a long day somemore)... I may just abort the idea...

All my best for China!

Surprise!

2004-08-13T21:27:00.000+08:00

I am so surprised that I scored distinction for my last Econs S essay!!! Moreover, the marker this time is Ms How... I have never dreamt that she will give a distinction... I just prayed that I wouldn't get ungraded for this essay... seems like my long-hours' research has paid off...

Yet, I still worry about my real Econs S exam... everytime, I took at least 5 hours to complete my essay assignment... I am just wondering how on earth can I finish three essays within 3 hours under exam condition... sigh~~~ anyway, life must go on, just hope miracles happen on my prelim and A level that I can get distinciton for my Econs S...

Tonight (to be more accurate, tomorrow morning), Athen Olympics will commence... Many of us are going down to watch the opening ceremony.... Pan Yu says I can bring national flag with us to support Chinese team... feeling a bit weird... but I may try later...

日子

2004-08-13T00:36:00.000+08:00

星期三班会课的时候, Ms How要我们谈谈这两年在华初的感受. 也不知道是幸运还是不幸运,自己被Ms How点名第一个说.

当时真的没有说什么. 只说觉得时间过得太快了, 还来不及回过头看看自己走过的路, 就只剩下不到三个星期在学校了. 还感叹了一下自己的班是多么的听话....Ms How也有同样的感觉~~~哈哈~

后来听其他的同学说了以后, 突然觉得自己是有很多东西可以说的. 毕竟, 这两年比起在Cedar的两年, 虽然更累, 更多烦心的事, 还是有更多的快乐和经历.

其实我的感觉和佳宏一样, 两年在初院的生活, 暂且不谈学业或是生活上的收获, 最大的感觉是自己已经长大了. 或许是已经过了18岁成人的生日, 或许是一人在外太久了, 心智自然成熟.

爸爸妈妈再也不象小学和初中那样, 天天盯着我的成绩, 稍有差错, 便会强迫我自我检讨 (虽然认为爸爸妈妈已经属于非常通情达理的那一种类型了, 这种压力在过去还是必不可少的). 现在爸爸妈妈只是说要我做到自己满意就好了, 他们总是说"你现在所取得的成绩已经远远超出我们的期望了". 其实, 这是超出我的意料的. 我一直认为爸爸妈妈在我身上有很高的期望, 一定要我出人头地. 现在才发现, 他们所希望看到的只是我没有遗憾, 快快乐乐的过我的日子. 事情总是这样的, 现在没有了父母的压力, 才意识到, 自己已经给自己下了一个很高的目标, 接下来的日子, 压力将会来自自己.

有很多的梦想. 小时侯想当宇航员, 后来想当记者, 当外交官, 当白领, 当金领... 还好自己有梦想, 不然恐怕连前进的动力都没有了. 从来没有后悔当初做的决定来新加坡, 虽然当时的选择有一些意气用事, 认为都被选上了还不去, 真是不值得. 其实后来重新考虑过当时的决定, 还是觉得, 即使要比国内的同学们晚两年上大学, 虽然学的理科知识会比他们浅, 虽然新加坡不被国内的同学们看成是一个留学的好地方, 自己在这四年里成长了太多了. 很不能理解马天祥在报考大学时任父母摆布的软弱和漠不关心. 我并不认为最后的结果差强人意, 其实本科只是一个开始, 以后机会还有很多, 我只是认为作为一个18岁的成年人, 竟然对自己的前途一点也不在乎, 真不象是我的堂弟...

对华初说不上留恋. 其实我到哪里都是这样, 很少为要离开的事物而伤感. 总是认为以后的路还太长, 太过于留恋, 自己的行囊很快便会超重. 于是, 除了父母, 自己再有没有知心朋友了. 也不知道这样是不是一种可悲.

我的日子就这样一天一天的过. 经常会有对未来很茫然的感觉, 特别是在这个要离别的日子. 也许这就是生活的一部分. 最近读了很多落后第三世界国家的文章, 真是觉得自己有些身在福中不知福. 很想以后可以帮助比我不幸的人们... 也许是我另外一个梦想吧~

Cluster Outing

2004-08-10T19:03:00.000+08:00

Today is the day for cluster outing!

Actually, the outing is just a lunch that some of us had togther in Breeks. Though the duration is short (2 hours), the attendence is poor (only half of the cluster), we do enjoy it. Beside the delicious food (though I don't have any particular preference towards fish and chips, it is the first time that our girls had a formal gathering outside boarding school...

Have been staying in this cluster for nearly two years. Though at the first I feel a bit alienated (it is natural) as I am the only one come from my secondary school and all others already have friends in the cluster that they are very familiar, we get along very well very fast. It is partially because that all of us study in the same school, it is also because they are all easy-going girls.

For our cluster mistress, Mrs Kee. I must say that she is a really warm hearted and caring guardian. Though I may have no special feeling for her, I hold great gratitude towrads her for my two years' stay here.

Time flies very fast. Many of us will soon be sitting for our prelims and A level. None of us have any idea where are we going for our uni... the following three months may be the last time we can see each other for some of us...

Cheers, friends!

National Day

2004-08-09T22:50:00.000+08:00

Today is Singapore 39th National Day.

Recently, I had read a very interesting paragraph about Singapore National Day celebration, especially the National Day Parade on "The Economist". It uses the tone and expression to describe Singapore that I have never encountered before on "Singapore celebrates its independence--it split from the Malaysian Federation on August 9th 1965--with parades, fireworks, general revelry and a near-total shutdown of the usually bustling city-state. The main parade, held inside the National Stadium, will feature lots of military strutting (think North Korea with money). Tickets are notoriously difficult to come by, but giant screens at Singapore Indoor Stadium, the Esplanade--Theatres on the Bay, Fort Canning and Discovery Bay will broadcast the festivities." Though very scarstic, I have to say, it is really true.

Admittedly, as a country ruled by a single party, there are really limited democracy or freedom in this nation. Propaganda is also inevitablely used as a tool to promote social and political stability. In this highly competitive society, the stress level is mounting up; people find themselves have less and less spare time and friends. Due to the smallness in nature, the minds of Singaporeans, though may be full of knowledge, are restrained from accepting a broad view of the world. However, as I also told my friends, what Singapore has achieved today, is, indeed, a real miracle.

Four years in Singapore has help gained much knolwedge about this "red spot" on the planet. A small island with no natural resources, no capital and no educated labour force, few people would expect today's prosperity in Singapore. A few months ago, I have read a newspaper article on "The Straits Times" about the development in Singapore manufacturing sector. In 1960s, Singapore produced toilet ball and many low end manufacturing products. In 2000s, Singapore is producing pharmaceutical products such as Vigra (it is what I read from the article, vadility? not sure...) and many products which offer high rate of return.

"SMALL WONDER
With a population of four million - equivalent to less than 0.07 per cent of the world's population- Singapore makes
• 70% of the world's offshore oil rigs
• 70% of the world's impact printers
• 60% of the world's container chillers
• 50% of the world's flash lamps for cameras
• 40% of the world's disk drives
• 10% of the world's refrigerator compressors

In Asia, Singapore is also
• The top aerospace maintenance, repair and overhaul centre
• The largest flvours and fragrance centre
• The top producer of oil field equipment. "

Due to its sound economic fundamentals and prudent fiscal and monetary policies, Singapore passes through the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and 2000 burst of the Internet Bubble in US smoothly without any major losses.

Being a small and vunerable country with majority population of Chinese, the political instability of the pressures from neighbouring Muslim countries is also a great potential danger. The constant peace and stability in Singapore is not an easy task.

Actually, what I wonder most about Singapore is still its achievements in the economic development. I always believe as long as the citizens in a country are able to enjoy a high standard of living and a secure social environment, the goals of a government have largely met. Hence, I generally have a very generous torlerance on the actions that Singapore government intervenes the citizens' personal lives. It may also due to the fact that I am from China and there are even more restrcition on our preferences. All in all, in my view, the political system is really not essential to a nation, as long as the country is developing and the citizens are able to enjoy the best possible lifestyle.

Many of my friends always have a strong dislike towards the celebrations held during the National Day period. However, every year, I would like to sincerely express my bless to Singapore for its achievements so far and much more prosperous developments in the future.

Happy Birthday, Singapore!

今天买到了Elva的精选集:美丽的插曲.

第一次认识Elva是在初三中考结束之后买的她的第一张同名专集,而且还是磁带.

记得当时我买音乐专集是很谨慎的,除非有很多我喜欢的歌,否则我是下不了决心买的.当时我买这张专集的原因有二:刚刚考完中考,觉得自己可以轻松轻松;同时也是因为这张专集里有太多我喜欢的歌:Cappuccino,陌生人,最熟悉的陌生人...第一次听到这样美丽的中低音,第一次的接触到这样多变的曲风,第一次遇到可以让我入神倾听的流行音乐...虽然Elva刚出道时被批评模仿李纹,在我看来，Elva的未经过加工的自然的好声音,好音乐,早已经超过了李纹那华丽绚烂的表演式的音乐...

我从来没有,也不会像有些歌迷那样发疯似地追歌星,也许是我这个人太过于理性化,结果失去了很多的乐趣.但是,Elva却是少数几个我每张专集都买了的歌星.本来以为中考后的生活会和以往一样平静,每天上学,放学,然后考大学...没有想到生活却起了这样大的变化,没有想到自己在15岁就离开了生我养我的长沙.同样还是天天上学,放学,然后考大学,自己却在一个被誉为花园城市,仅仅偏离赤道一点点的国家里.四年来,我经历了很多我在长沙没有想到的事情,而Elva也陆陆续续除了6张专集.我也再也不买磁带了，全部都买了正版的CD...我在成长,她也在不停地尝试着不同的表现方式.虽然并不是她所有的改变我都喜欢,但听她的音乐,已不再是一种偏好,而是一种习惯了...两年前,在Elva第五张专集的歌迷见面会上,几经周折,我终于在她住的酒店面对面见到了她.当时唯一的感觉是她比照片上还要漂亮...现在觉得,她真人和我想象中的差不了很远.

Elva从来没有机会受到音乐人,评论界或是听歌的人们的宠爱.与孙燕资不同,她没有一出道就被称为"小天后",也没有能象蔡依林那样被成为"少男杀手",各项大奖小奖也没有更加偏爱她...一直以来,她都不是音乐界的宠儿...一直以来,她都是自己在为自己的事业奋斗.在孙燕姿出道第三年还能拿到"新人奖"的时候,我真为Elva打抱不平.但后来想想,只要音乐好,得不到专业界的承认,唱片还是会大卖,只要我们承认就好了...

在这张专集歌词的第一页上,Elva的长久的老师和合作伙伴姚谦写到"无论我对萧亚轩来说,或萧亚轩对我来说,都可以算是一段美丽的插曲.因缘际向遇了,各自改变了计划.她从侨居地改变学习服装设计的初衷回台,我也打消了原订要争取旧合作艺人加盟,勇敢傻气的一路走去".人人的生活中大概都有大大小小的各种插曲.想起四年前,我还是一个傻傻的小女孩,站在学校附近的音像店里，拿着Elva的专集犹豫不定...妈妈上个月看到我的时候,很感叹的说了一句"女儿真的长大了"...这段在这个小小岛国上的生活,的确也是我一段美丽的插曲...

Universities

2004-07-28T23:16:00.000+08:00

Today has the briefing on US and UK university application...

Kang Kai may be right that Hwa Chong encourages students to apply UK universities and Raffles encourages students to apply US universities (though I don't know whether the second part is true, the first part is definitely correct).

To tell the truth, I have no interest in UK universities at all... If possible, US will be my first choice... Singapore and Canada will be the second... But I can't say that I will not definitely end up in UK... When I was thinking of which JC to go in Sec 4, Hwa Chong never pops up in my mind... But look at me now... Going to graduate from the school I have never thought of it...

Whenever I go, as long as I leave Singapore, funding will be my big problem... I will definitely try for financial aid or scholarship (from the university... I don't want to apply for Singapore scholarship... Mainly because there is always at least six years bond...)... Even the university is financial aid biased... If I'm rejected because of my financial status, I have nothing to regret as I may not be able to accomplish four years' study if there is no financial aid... Dad and mum may have sufficient money to sustain me for four years, but it will deplete all their twenty years' savings... It does not worth it...

I will probably apply five to six US universities... It is advised by many teachers and seniors that I should choose two universities for each standard (the most prestigious, the upper half class, the most ordinary)... I think I will choose Chicago as one of the choices in the first band... Michigan may go to the second band... Actually have no matured plan yet...

Anyway, it is still not the time to think too much... Prelims is coming in a little more than a month... Time is running out... The next half year of my JC life will be full of excitement, anxiety and hope... I think so... At least I hope so...

Breakfast...

2004-07-27T17:21:00.000+08:00

Sigh... Haven't been eating my breakfast in hostel for weeks...

I know I just need to get up ten minutes earlier to catch a decent breakfast in the well-lit breakfast in hostel canteen and to walk to school calmly without any running and sweating... BUT... I just CAN'T!!!

Mum has told me so many times to have breakfast in hostel and I also have promised her for so many times... Why it is so difficult to sleep earlier and get up just a bit earlier???

Tomorrow must try again~~~

另一种坚强与成长‧‧日向宁次

2004-07-05T09:06:00.000+08:00

7月3日是日向宁次的生日,虽然有一些晚了,但还是要说:"Neji, Happy Birthday!"

转贴amohuil在贪婪大陆上一篇纪念宁次生日的文章~~~

初见宁次是在动画21话
见到他面对新进下忍所流露出的不屑和傲气，不免对他的实力感到好奇
死亡森林里，小李被音忍打伤
宁次赶到之后，发出强烈的杀气：”倒在那边的西瓜皮是我们的同伴…你们竟敢随便打他！”
白眼开眼！在骇人的定睛之下，表现出他对同伴的爱护
此外，在之前的考试用了白眼填写试卷、
在小队里似乎是个领导者﹝指示小李和天天的行动、发现小李迟迟未归之后就迅速地去寻找、并猜测他可能用了禁招莲华﹞、
敏锐地感受到佐助因着咒印产生的诡异查克拉而按兵不动…都可以显示出他的冷静和稳重
顶着”去年No.1新人”光环、沉默寡言的宁次，不仅神秘，也有些难以亲近的感觉

动画46-47话，中忍预选与雏田之战
不仅见识到宁次超一流的柔拳和点穴功夫
除了体术，他的话语和态度也同样令人印象深刻
其实我无法完整地描述宁次给我的感觉…冷酷、傲然、轻蔑，还是愤世嫉俗？
一开始就要雏田准备放弃，若是单纯的因为自己实力之强而提出劝告，也就罢了。但很明显并不只如此

宁次对宗家的憎恨使他无法平静
总是冷嘲热讽的他不再是小李眼中”木叶可能的最强下忍”，而只是一个深受痛苦与迷惘的孩子
宁次并不恨雏田。至少他还了解雏田的善良和自卑 (虽然他没能看出雏田想要改变自己的决心)
他恨的是宗家。因着对宗家的怨愤，他对雏田下手而毫不心软

很多人对于宁次将雏田打得重伤感到非常不谅解，直觉他简直是麻不不仁的冷血魔鬼
但他真的一点人性也没有吗？我想倒也未必
当时宁次对雏田的奋战不懈也感到讶异：”为什么要站起来？…这样下去的话，你真的会死的！”

即使后来他仍然有所攻击，但这就是残酷的、现实的比赛。他不能、也不会停止

鸣人之后对宁次说过：”你把努力的雏田打成那样…不也是在违抗命运吗？”
哎！或许宁次就是在下意识中将雏田幻化为宗家整体的影像
他以为自己对抗的是宗家而非雏田，一步一步都是混乱
雏田心细如发，即使身受重伤，仍然温柔地告诉宁次：”在宗家与分家命运里，你才是真正迷惑的人。”
面对雏田一语道破现实，而且是他最在意又无力改变的现实…宁次恼羞成怒了
发狂冲向雏田的他仍然执迷不悟

宗家与分家的命运，一出世就难以避免、悲哀而无奈
并不是只有雏田在奋斗，宁次亦然
只是，宁次的成长过程让他更加愤愤不平，怨天尤人...
说实话，此时的宁次实在很难让人喜欢

接下来是动画60-62话，正式的中忍选拔，与鸣人之战
也是宁次生命里的转折点

宁次展现了超越日向宗家的优异才能
纯熟的回天与八卦六十四掌，可说是攻守俱佳
“日向家有史以来第一个天才”并非浪得虚名，一度将鸣人打得节节败退
此时的宁次依旧瞧不起”吊车尾的”，冷漠而强硬地认定命运无法违抗
面对鸣人的疑问，宁次冷冷地解下护额，露出额上的咒印

宁次生在分家的命运是十分悲哀的
我猜测，比起无法继承日向家，或许那种”生命掌握在别人手里”所带来的的恐惧与担忧更是让宁次恼怒
宁次和鸣人、我爱罗等人有些不同，鸣人他们即使遭受排挤，还是辛苦的活下来了
但宁次不仅辛苦的活着，也要承受生命无法自主的悲哀
试想，只要日足大人一下封印，被施了咒印术的宁次还能活着吗？
他会死啊，而且是随时随地都有可能会死。他能不担心吗？
亲眼见到父亲深受咒印之苦，并为了宗家而牺牲。他能平稳地过日子吗？
生命里充满着不安的危机，宁次还是咬牙撑过来了，继续不断地苦练
父亲逝世后，估计没有人可以教他。就算日向家的人愿意教他，或许也会对分家的他有所保留
所以宁次也只能到忍者学校去学习了。但日向家的独门绝技又是怎么练出来的？

“天才”之名由此而起。宁次必然是在苦修之后得到了领悟
天赋异禀的他，即使无法直承宗家，仍然靠着自己的奋斗而习得精髄，甚至超越宗家
所谓的”天才”通常表示才智方面的出众，确实很适合形容聪颖的宁次
但宁次只有依赖聪明吗？绝对不是。如果没有先前苦练，又怎么能发挥潜力呢？
即使已经领悟绝招，如果不多加运用以增长实战经验，也是徒然
虽然岸本很少在宁次的修行上多加着墨，但却是可以想象的
宁次所下的苦功和付出的代价不一定会输给小李

悲哀的是，就算再有才能，也改变不了身为分家的事实
宁次对自己的实力感到自信，同时也对分家的身份感到自卑
当他战斗之时，往往是处在一种矛盾的情结里
确实，人的出身背景多少会影响其命运，但并非绝对
但对宁次而言，”分家”就像一股无形的束缚，箝制着他的一生
或许他也曾经想过，赢了又如何？即使付出再多的努力，也无法挣脱分家的枷锁
所以，当宁次面对鸣人的不屈不挠，他感到可笑、无谓又难以理解

宁次的白眼可以看透他人，却无法厘清自己的真实
但宁次何其有幸！鸣人打醒了他

立誓打败宁次的鸣人，并不只要赢得比赛，更是为了遵守和雏田的无言之约
虽然鸣人曾经倒地不起，但眼前立即浮出了小李和雏田的奋斗画面
强悍又不愿服输的坚强意志力让鸣人挺过来了，并且在最痛苦的时候叫出九尾查克拉
面对出乎意料之外的九尾查克拉，宁次难得地惊慌了
对自己的点穴功夫极其自信、少见强敌的他，总算能和鸣人来一场真正精采的拼斗

后来两人都摔进洞里，宁次先爬起来了，仍然继续他的固执：”抱歉…吊车尾同学，这就是现实…”
一语未毕，突破地表而冲出来的鸣人，结结实实地打了宁次一拳

耗尽查克拉的宁次，无力回击，只能倒在地上瞪着鸣人：”哼…我太大意了…那是你最得意的忍术…”

但鸣人说话了：”我曾经三次都没有通过毕业考…运气不好，考到的都是我最不擅长的分身术…
别再说命运无法改变之类的话了…因为你和我不同，你不是个吊车尾的。”

宁次睁大眼睛，难以置信

考官弦间也告诉他：”即使是笼中鸟，只要够聪明，还是会努力试着打开牢笼。因为牠们还没放弃翱翔天空的希望。”

当宁次试着整理自己的情绪，又听见日足大人解释当年牺牲父亲的真实情况
宁次终于了解父亲也曾经努力地冲破命运，选择自己的道路
此外，他更讶异日足大人在他面前跪下、祈求他的原谅。也见日足大人对此事耿耿于怀

“请您起来。”宁次饶恕了日足大人，更解放了自己

掉下眼泪，宁次释怀了。看见窗外的小鸟，宁次认知到命运是可以突破的
他期许自己怀着希望生活下去，并且变得更强
最后，宁次拿下护额，面对咒印，他已经可以正面地看视，不再怨恨或消极地逃避
宁次温和而坚定的笑了。并和父亲约定，立志积极开创自己的人生

塞翁失马，焉知非福
虽然宁次输了中忍选拔的比赛，却找到生命重新出发的方向

中忍选拔结束之后，宁次仍然继续他的修炼
即使天天兴奋地邀他去看纲手，他也不为所动
那是颗平静而稳定的心。为了实践和父亲的诺言 “变得更强”，他不再迷惘

漫画最新连载中，宁次参与救援佐助的行动，再次将他的才能发挥得淋漓尽致
追击四人众、被困土墙之中，仍然冷静、客观地分析周遭情势，展现出不亚于鹿丸的战略头脑
即使才智出众，此时的他不再高傲，而认真服从鹿丸的决策和指示，尽责地行动、突破重围

奋力挡下蜘蛛丝的攻击，宁次对鸣人说：”鸣人，谢谢你帮我争取时间！…你们先走，这里交给我。”

或许大家觉得这句话没什么特别，但我感到非常惊讶：那个心高气傲的宁次会跟别人道谢？？

事实上，宁次的感谢是真诚的。他不再以一种高高在上的傲慢来看待他人
宁次不仅肯定了鸣人的能力，也表达了十足的信任和鼓励：

“鸣人，你的眼神非常明朗。”

“有人能够把身处黑暗的佐助救出来，一定可以。鸣人，就是你…把我从黑暗中拯救出来的。”

一向有着强烈优越感的他
经历深刻磨练之后，逐渐变得谦逊而柔和。更愿意为了任务而全力以赴

尔后，宁次和鬼童丸的一战打得难分难解，再次考验宁次的机智和应变
被看破了白眼的盲点、面对自己有生以来碰过最厉害的敌人、几度差点丧命
他仍然奋战不懈，正面迎击的勇气和决心都令人激赏

苦战之时，更是说了一段让我感动到差点喷泪的话：
”不能输！…即使对方是比我强得多的敌人，即使我会因此而失去性命…
我也绝对不能输！！
我有不能输的理由。在我交手过的敌人里、最强的那个人曾经告诉我”你不是个吊车尾的”…
因为我经常被称作天才，所以我不能输给你！
这么做也是为了相信我是天才的他们。”

虽然不服输，但这次和以往不同
宁次不是为了”天才”的骄傲自尊而战，也没有不择手段地乱来以求达到目的
“天才”之名或许让他有些压力，但也显示了更多信任
对于内敛的宁次而言，或许他是第一次感受到这么多来自同伴的期待吧
尤其，此时宁次的心光明磊落，不再怨恨命运，更相信自己的实力和判断
因此他才能毫不迟疑地奋斗，更赌上了性命

即使身体被穿了两个洞，呼吸难以顺畅、因着重伤而颤抖得无法站立
依旧坚定不移：“一个人的命运不该让别人决定…我才不会这么简单就死去…”

一想到父亲和鸣人的激励，宁次就拥有再次微笑的力量，眼神也更加清澈

日向宁次，以一种不同常人的方式，在短短的期间内历经成长
过往的盛气凌人已不再，取而代之的是成熟的意志和毅力
无论是面对自己的生命或是忍者身份，宁次都蜕变得更坚强、可靠

A note to mum

2004-07-04T12:49:00.000+08:00

Well, a friend sends me this interesting letter... try to enjoy while reading~~

A mother passing by her daughter's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope propped up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed, "Mom." With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:

Dear Mom,

It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new boyfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you.

I've been finding real passion with John and he is so nice-even with all his piercings, tattoos, beard, and his motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion mom, I'm pregnant and John said that we will be very happy. He already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. He wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too.

John taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with his friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.

In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so John can get better; he sure deserves it!!

Don't worry Mom, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Some day I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren.

Your daughter,
Judith

PS: Mom, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk center drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.

2004-06-30T00:39:00.000+08:00

This is Hinata...

Hinata... & ....Me....

2004-06-29T21:16:00.000+08:00

其实到开始看"Naruto"很久以后才发觉,原来我是很喜欢Hinata的.

连我自己都觉得很奇怪,为什么自己会喜欢Hinata呢？我和她的性格相差太远了...做为木叶第一家的日向家的继承人,Hinata总为自己缺少战斗力和学习＂白眼＂的天赋而愧疚和自责．加上天性害羞，她一直给人一种躲躲闪闪的感觉．难怪连Naruto都说她＂是个很奇怪的人＂．后来自己想了很久，才发现可能自己的性格也多多少少和她相似吧~~~

小时侯,自己真的很害羞.见到生人的时候,如果不是爸爸妈妈催促我:"方方,叫叔叔,叫阿姨",我是绝对不会主动打招呼的.在小学的前几年,每次和同学说话,我都要股起很大的勇气,如果别的男生欺负我,我更是一句话也不敢反驳~~~ 想起现在会被半上的男生尊称"方姐"或是更加恐怖的"大侠",真是变化太大了~~~当时的我,可能还真给人Hinata的感觉吧~~~直到现在，努力想想，自己的本性也许还是非常害羞的．．．只是在外人面前已经会伪装自己了．．．

直到现在,我还是一个力争要做到很好的人...和Hinata一样，遇到困难时，我会因为自己能力不够而感到懊恼，而且有时我也会和她一样，很容易放弃，虽然我不常表露出来~~~ 为什么喜欢Hinata，也许是她让我看到了内心的自己，那个更真，又几乎被我遗忘的自己．．．

Go, Going, Gone...

2004-06-27T08:48:00.000+08:00

Tomorrow will be the first day of one-and-half-week long block test two~~~ always wondering why hwa chong calls term exams as "BLOCK TEST"... some people say it is because a term is like a block... well, for me, it sounds much scarier than a mere "term exams"... last minutes' revision is still on the way and the confidence is literally non-exist...

there will be two papers tomorrow: GP and Physics... the two subjects I fear most... actually, i planned to study Physics thoroughly during this holiday... but turns out to be another far-fetched dream of mine... sometimes, i really hate my lack of perseverance... Dr Wilks stress one and once again that GP IS A SUBJECT YOU CAN REVISE!!! seems like i really need to revise some GP today... still have loads of Physics i don't understand... sigh~~~

Go, Going, Gone... time is running short~~~

Sigh~~~

2004-06-25T20:32:00.000+08:00

Though I have already mentally prepared for this, but still I find it sad that I even did not do as well in my SAT as in the first time... and this time, my maths part goes even lower...

Well, can do nothing already... only have to blame myself for not working hard for it~~~ sigh~~

天心的＂花开不败＂

2004-06-24T20:06:00.000+08:00

早听说天心有一个很不错的blog，也知道名字叫＂花开不败＂．一直没有把她的blog做成链接，因为怕主人不愿意．．．今天终于得到了她的许可,于是在friends list又多了一个.

去转了一圈,还真是名不虚传,文章水平都比我的高得多,真难怪是博客风的推荐网页,只能自叹不如啊~~~不过,对于我来说,我的blog只是为了让我记下自己的点滴生活，虽然向品说我写的东西好象没有什么意义,但自己开心就好了~~~

"花开不败"这个名字确实很适合天心.她是一个对自己有绝对信心的人(至少我是这么认为的).我们大家都觉得(包括爸爸妈妈们)她是我们中间最成熟的一个...虽然偶尔她会做出让我们都掉眼镜的事~~~看到她写到大学的事,自己又不免又一次提醒了自己这个又令人激动,又令人烦恼的事情~~~当要考虑的不仅是自己时,一切都会变得更加complicated...只希望奇迹让我所有希望的事情都发生~~~现在真的不愿意再想了~~~

意大利还是被淘汰了.虽然心里非常地不服气,但结果就是结果,已无法改变了.今天,德国也被淘汰了.一个欧洲杯竟然爆出了这样多的冷门:西班牙,意大利,德国...难道欧洲足坛真的要被重新分割了吗?希望不是...我真的还是很希望看到地中海城堡那象流水一般优美的足球称霸世界足坛~~~

Italy's final group match...

2004-06-22T21:13:00.000+08:00

Haven't been updating my blog for days...

Tonight, Italy's final group match... They need best of their lucks... I have no more to say... All the BEST~

2004-06-19T11:46:00.000+08:00

Buffon... Italy's goalkeeper in the match against Sweden... one of best goalkeepers in the world now,,,

2004-06-19T11:45:00.000+08:00

Italians celebrate after they scored in the first half by Antonio Cassano

Luck is on whose side?

2004-06-19T11:00:00.000+08:00

Luck is always not at Italian side...

I was so excited to see that Italy score their first goal in this year's EURO in the first half by Antonio Cassano after several near successful shots... And I firmly believe with a early goal, it is very very difficult for Swedish to equalize the game as Italy has one the strongest defence in the world... The progress of the match proves my correct... In the first half of the game, the Italian played so well that the ball procession rate is 67%(Italy) to 33%(Sweden)... Italian have 12 shots in the first half while Sweden only have 3 shots... Italian was apparently dominating the first half of the game...

In the second half, though Italy has shifted from attacking to defence, there are still many chances for Italy to score, though luck is apparently not at their side and they kept missing shots... Swedish had a few chances to score, but failed to change their 0 to 1... When the game is approaching the end, I believe Italy will win the match and stand a very strong position in qualifying for the quaterfinal... However, the Swedish, scored "acrobatically" when there is only 5 minutes left for the match... I just couldn't believe my eyes... The goal scored by Sweden, unlike the one by Italy, which is so tactful and graceful, is really a lucky goal and no one actually expect the ball will go in the net... Why Italy cannot have a bit more luck to help them sustain to the end of the match?

The next match of Italy against Bulgaria, Italy has no choice but to win and score as many as they can if they want to qualify for the quarterfinal... God bless...

Italy's 2nd match

2004-06-18T19:20:00.000+08:00

Tonight (tomorrow morning, to be accurate), Italy is going to have their second EURO match against Sweden... After the Sweden's 5-0 last winning, I really afraid that they will cause a great trouble to Italy...

Bad news comes one after the other... Totti was banned for three matches yesterday... Without the most capable midfield and forward, though Italy still have many other talented players, I still doubt the chance of winning tonight's match...

anyway, all the best to Italy~~

图书馆闲谈

2004-06-16T20:02:00.000+08:00

今天下午又去了图书馆. 虽说不是特别的有效率,但多少还是比呆在寝室里成天对着电脑要来得心安理得一些~~~ 图书馆是一个好地方,特别是在放假的时候,很凉快,很安静,很适合学习和....睡觉~ 最难能可贵的是我们可爱的华初图书馆还离宿舍这样近~~~

平常上学的时候,图书馆比在假期要热闹多了...自习的,看报纸的,free period来消磨时间的,还有不是free period也来逃课的...人可多了~~~ 有时候想要找到一个空位都不那么容易~~

图书馆的书,特别是小说,都是很有历史的...书页黄了,书角卷了,内容也很长时间不流行了~~~ 其实小说有历史还可以说成是一种收藏,让我总不可以理解的是图书馆的杂志也都很有一些年代了...害得我总是把一本周刊看上好几个星期才可以看到下一本...也许学校是想让我们理解深,理解透吧~~

图书馆也很努力的,我们提的意见,管理员们都会尽力满足我们...现在有藤椅,有cushion,有时候还会有轻柔的古典音乐~~~

接下来的半年,图书馆,请多多关照~~~

Another day

2004-06-13T19:28:00.000+08:00

Another day of holiday has passed by.... I have left only half of my holiday without my notice... Homework has been left untouched for two weeks... And somemore, the block test is on its way come... Furthermore, the most worrisome is I have lost interest to study...

how can I reverse this situation~~~ feel really scared of myself...

2004-06-11T16:24:00.000+08:00

Flower... suprised that my fully automatic camera can actually take a near macro shot...

2004-06-11T16:23:00.000+08:00

Me, Me, Me.... at beach of Pulau Ubin... actually, i really dislike the beach there... very dirty.. somemore, they build fence there this year... even uglier...

Tired~

2004-06-10T20:49:00.000+08:00

A day at Pulau Ubin mixes fun, heat and delicious coconut makes the most tiring day of my holiday~~~ however, it is really nice to see all the juniors and the long-time-no-seen Mr and Mrs Robinson...

I cycled across the island in the morning when the sun is hanging right above my head... After rest for a while and had my first juicy coconut, I started to walk with long yuan across the island to the beach again... On our way back, we chose a different route which led us into deep forest... There were a lot of exotic sceneries that made both of us forget the tiredness... And I did took some good shots there...

cannot wait to see today's photo which I will get back tomorrow... Hooray~~~

Potter's third year!

2004-06-08T23:15:00.000+08:00

I have watched three movies since last Saturday after the totally unprepared SAT finished...

Firstly, of course, it's my long-waited and favourite "Harry potter and the prisoner of the azkaban". The movie is based on the third book of the Harry potter series which is my favourite book in the series so far. Indeed, I have a very high expectation on this latest film and it turns out....Actually....Not so bad....Except the ending... It is just too abrupt and irresponsible to the viewers!!! How can the whole movie end at the point when the audience see a distorted face of Harry on the broomstick!!! Actually, among the three potter's movies so far, I only feel the ending in the first one is acceptable... In the second movie, the film ends when everyone is cheering and shouting in the well-lit great hall... It just give me the feeling that the potter's movie ends in the same way as the traditional fairy tales..."They leave happily everafter..." However, the second ending is still better comparing with the third one... Sadly, I missed the first twenty minutes about the scene... Those vj friends were very very late...Anyway, I have to watch again... It's my usual practice when comes to Harry potter...

the new Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron has presented all the viewers a rather different style in interpreting the potter boy's adventures.... Unlike his predecessor Chris Columbus who always gives us a magical and fairy-like setting, Alfonso Cuaron's approach is quite similar to his approach in his other films... In particular the "little princess".... There are so many scenes in the rain in the latest film of the potter series... It's hard to say whether is good or not.... Some people love the new style so much and some really dislike it... For me, I do feel the new style makes Harry, Ron and Hermione more mature and more suitable for the third year of Harry potter... Maybe Columbus' style is best suited in the first two years while the young potter is staying in a comparatively safe environment... While Alfonso Cuaron is more capable in describing the experience of potter when things are starting to get more complicated.... There will be a new director for the fourth movie which is already started shooting... As the potter's story gets more and more evil and darker, will the director chosen be more capable in depicting more scary and horrible scenes.... Then, I think in the last movie, they may ask the director of "JU-ON" to direct....(just kidding)....

for the small actors (actress)... Actually they are no longer "small"... While Emma Waston (Hermione) becomes a more and more attractive young lady, Malfoy (sorry for forgetting his name... Don't blame me, zhenhua..)and Oliver/James Phelps (George/Fred weasley)becomes more and more handsome... Rupert Grint (Ron weasley) becomes more and more like a member of Beetles (quote from Jiaxin)... They are all grown up... Not to mention Daniel... The news is confirmed that they will be acting in the fourth movie... While we worry about whether they can still act like Harry potter and friends at the age as described in the novel, I feel a bit relieved that I don't have to take time to try to accept a new look of Harry potter... Indeed, what I saw in the first film has become the deepest impression of Harry in real life...

I still like to quote what is said in "First" once,

Harry potter is not a magic movie, it is a magic...

又见老同学

2004-06-03T22:38:00.000+08:00

好久没有用QQ了... 很偶然,昨天又开始了长久没有的QQ chatting session... 非常惊讶的发现原来所有9701的同学竟然组了一个"群"(GROUP),里面有29个原来初中的同学...真是一下子让我开心了很多... 于是挂在了网上,希望可以和原来的老朋友们聊聊...

第一个碰到的是黄谷.真是很久没有联系,更别说见面了.现在她在我印象中的样子还是原来矮矮的可爱小女孩,脸上总带着笑容和随之而来的酒窝~~~她也很惊讶看到我...她现在在哈尔冰工业大学的威海校区聊了很多,她说她很羡慕我,因为我可以出国...又是围城的感觉...我又何尝不羡慕他们已经上了大学,开始了人生的另一种经历~~~ 当问起我有没有boyfriend时,我只说有玩得很好的guy friend,说实话,自己也不是很清楚~~~ 她却很肯定地说自己有男朋友了,因为自己离家远,需要人照顾~~~ 原来班上最小的谷子也长大了!!!

谷子刚下,又碰上了张慧婷,还记得当时她的外号叫小不点~~~还和原来一样,还是那样的自信,那样的优秀.在北京师范大学读心理,真是不简单.其实,更让我惊讶的是他的男朋友也同时在北京师范大学读计算机.两个人都是我的高中同班同学,好象是在我去新加坡以后在一起的...小不点告诉我他们俩是决定报同一所大学的...真是厉害,想读同一所大学,就可以实现~~~ 他们俩连这样困难的一关都过了,今后的路也应该更坦荡了...虽说应该对我是一种鼓励,但总觉得自己不会有小不点那样幸运...而且一直是这样认为的~~~ 上大学这一关真的是对我最大的考验~~~说实话,真的很没有信心~~~

真的是很高兴又可以和原来的同学联系上...他们的生活已经和我的大不一样.和他们,我不可能象和现在的朋友那样聊最近的电影,不能和他们聊NARUTO,聊最近发生在身边的琐事,因为经历已经不同...基本上我们能够聊的也就只有互相的生活怎么样~~~虽然觉得一遍一遍的描述现在的生活有一些无聊,但能有他们的那一份关心已经很满足了~~~今天又上QQ,发现牛牛在班上的群里面写"听说传说中的马方方又重出江湖了!"不禁笑了起来....原来我到哪里给人的印象都是大侠啊~~~

"永远的C9701"...

First day of holiday!

2004-05-29T23:49:00.000+08:00

Finally, my dreamt holidays have come~

I watched "Day after tomorrow" today... Actually, I'm not really keen to watch this movie when I first heard the name... I guess it will be another hollywood's movie of mass destruction or the last day of mankind... Surprisingly, many of my classmates, including those who are very critical about movie highly recommend me of this movie... I guess it is because the director as no one mentions the movie without mentioning the name of the director (actually I can't remember his name, only know it's the same director of "Independence day" which I have never watched before... My friend later tells me it's about the invasion of aliens... typical hollywood's alarmism).

anyway, I still watched the movie. in fact, i must admit, it is a good movie. good plot, good actor, good special effect... i was deeply overwhelmed by the plot and forced myself to close eyes for lots of moments... It is never cracking to see how man escape one by one dangers imposed by the powerful nature... i must give high credits to the movie. However, i do think the story is out of reach for me. Though i love to read science fiction and i am very pessimistic about human future, i do not think this kind of calamity will really happen on our planet, so more, within a few days! It is too dramatic.

there is something very strange about me. i believe the story that one day mankind will degenerate into creatures living in the deep sea and lose all the civilisation, wisdom and language. However, i also believe this process requires a very long time, even tens and hundreds generations. the drastic and dramatic changes on the planet, on the human history, i think and genuinely hope will only appear in the Hollywood movies...

good nite... hope the this morning when i open my eyes, the earth is still as peaceful as usual ( i exclude some human factors such as wars....)

Thanx for the commments~

Thanx for the advice~~

I will try my best to use only english or chinese in a single my post... but sometimes, a particular language will be much more effective in expressing a certain meaning than the other.... in this case, i think i will still use the most comfortable one... anyway, really thanx alot..

by the way, i can't identify you from your name. after viewing your blog, i know you are from RJ... then i have some people in mind... could you please tell me next time? drop me a mail or anything?

see you~

Another photo i took in boarding school. As i didn't take a good care of the negative, when i scan the negative to cd, the photo is not in very good condition... very sad...

2004-05-27T21:25:00.000+08:00

A photo i took in boarding school last year... personally, i like it a lot... especially thei lighting...

Another Thursday~

2004-05-27T18:01:00.000+08:00

星期四应该算是我的favourite day.至少现在是。“火影忍者”每个星期四就可以从网上下载一集最新的动画片。。。真的是很期待。当然如果星期四不需要赶星期五要交的作业，那就更perfect了~

Monday对于我来说，永远都是blue的。其实还不要到星期一，星期天晚上就开始抱怨第二天要上学，十分沮丧。还好今年的星期一是个short day，多少对我有一些安慰。

我对Tuesday一向没有什么特殊的感觉，只觉得星期一都过去了，星期二按部就班就好。有一段时间，每个星期二下午放学的时候都会要下雨，还多少有一些期待。后来发现，其实每天都有可能下雨，只是我pay particular attention to the rain on tuesday...不禁哑然~~

星期三is a busy day.... at least was a busy day。星期三虽然放学早，CCA总得让我很晚才能到家。虽说还是很enjoy CCA的，但总因为很累而很怕wednesday的到来。

Friday is a day everyone has reasons to look forward.我也不例外。现在想想，星期五可能才应该算是我的favourite day.明天是星期五，也是这个term的最后一天。我想应该会有很多人absent吧~~~昨天班上4个没来，今天6个，明天会不会是8个呢？希望不会。。。。班上人多才好玩嘛。

I can finally have some relief this coming saturday。。。 holiday终于来到了。虽然上午还有CCA,但想到有一整个月的假期给自己支配，真是开心啊~~

其实上学对于我来说并不是一种煎熬。。。我还是很喜欢在学校里和同学们完，学新东西的~~~ but it is my usual厌学情绪，especially near the holidays...不管怎样, the time in school should be the most valuable, eventful, and wonderful experience i will have in my life...

2004-05-26T21:30:00.000+08:00

Gara from Naruto... a tomato version... really cute... last time when i drew it in class, many people get shocked... actually, the original picture is really not bad. it's the problem of my drawing techniques....

2004-05-26T21:25:00.000+08:00

a friend of mine send to me... i think it's very cute~

真的等不及放假了~~

2004-05-26T01:23:00.000+08:00

真的很需要一个长长的假期来修整修整。。。

June holiday is coming in 3 days' time.... It's just so strange I'm literally rushing on my homework everyday in the past two weeks... Don't know what's wrong with me...

have so many plans in mind for holidays... swimming, playing piano, watching movie (Harry Potter!!!).... and of course.. STUDY!!!

I have been reluctant to go to school for so long.... A long holiday is really needed...

Hope everyone will have an enjoyable and fulfilling holiday ahead...

Cheers~

First post!

2004-05-26T01:07:00.000+08:00
