Have just watched Sense and sensibility (Directed by Ang Lee).

Love Elinor so much for her being calm at any time.=]

Love the beautiful poetry (from Shakespeare's Love Sonnet 116) in the film:

Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove.
O, no! It is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.

Modern English translation:

It's not love if it the loved one needs to change to be loved.
Or if the one who loves permits the loved one to change them.
Love is a permanent thing that sees faults in the beloved and does not flinch away from them.

Poem: Midsummer Night

Midsummer Night

At night time, I went to sleep.
But the weather was so hot that I couldn't sleep.
Counting numbers, hoped this could help me fall asleep.

Dwindling of the shiny stars,
bright but tiny and seemed so far.
The moon was clean and round,
going beyond the dark blue sky,
giving dim light to the dark brown ground.
Heard the squeezing of the ladybirds,
accompanied by the gentle wind.

King of the kings, my greatest lord,
had you ever seen this sight?
Look, darkness covered the whole earth.
Moon was the only light.
No fire left to point out our path.
Oh, I was confused and didn't know what to do.

Please, give me some light so that I could have strength to go through.
Quit from lost,
regained confidence.

Sun was rising from the horizon,
turning the dead back to lively.
Under the strong light of the sun,
I felt warm and fear no more.
Victory seemed next to me,
and I will not be scared about failure again.
Ways are new everyday,
but we need not to be afraid
Because every time after night,
there should be a day which is nice and bright.

(written in 2006 at Austin, found it when cleaning up my mailing box)

8年後的我︰

這是中三暑假到美國時寫的詩，是交給當年暑假的補習老師的功課。啊... 因為那年我和表弟去美國主要是玩 (我們認為)，但大人覺得我們要好好學習，所以嬸嬸為我們準備了一個私人英文老師 (她本來就是我堂弟的補習老師)。

當時老師要我們寫一篇詩，每句以A, B, C...如此類推開頭。好！難！耶！根本想不到X 和Z... 我那在美國土身土長的堂弟，用半小時就做好功課，而我... 哼。話說回來，當時都沒有問我表弟作得如何。大概也是作得很痛苦吧...

Feeling much better now. =]

Mid-term exam - processing. SO MUCH to recite but SO LITTLE time. But so far it is okay for me. I don't know why I am not that nervous compared to two days ago. Maybe I should say prayers really work. And counting my blessings make me feel better and more relaxed. =]
Listening tests finished today. Good to have listening tests on the first day of the exam weeks. It helps me prepare an exam mood and get myself into the atmosphere. Economics paper tmr. I love Econ. =] But the chapter for Production is really difficult. >~<

Just hate it. Being so insignificant.

The world seems okay if I vanish. I don't think anybody will notice.

No. They may cry for sometime, which I expect, and then recover very soon.

After all, every human is a dust in the world. Who care?

Yes I know, God cares.

But God is not living with me.

I mean, yes He is with me, but He can't really sitting here with me, eating with me, studying with me or even talking to me.

Life is all alone.

And you know, it feels so odd crying alone soundlessly on bed.

Sometime I just can't stop admire myself being so pro in acting and pretending.

'Good' job.

It is true that I have good family, friends, and classmates. I love them so deeply.

But it is also not a lie that difficulties need no one but only me.

Others can do nothing to help me.


I just tell myself that 'be strong be tough'. Challeges are everywhere and can't be avoided. First I met CE and now A-level. And after this A-level, I will definitely still have much to fight against. So I can't be weak. It is so wrong to be weak, because if I am weak even facing some tiny things, how can I be tough facing big things? It is so wrong to be weak.

But human are really weak. I can't stop from being so depressed. On one hand I tell myself to be strong and on another hand I am thinking of giving up. Sooooo messy is my mind, sooo heavy is my head.
