Man this is one really weird summer, so cold, rained ice flakes three times today!! Pour down heavily 3 times, rained 4 times~

If the weather is how your day is, I wish everything goes well for you. And that everything will be alright eventually. Maybe somehow this will make its way across to you~ To everyone who did not have a good day today, I wish you the very very best for Christmas and the coming New Year. May wishes, dreams, hopes and ambitions come true to you in this very New Year.

Procrastination, lack of motivation and intensity. Don’t know when I am ever going to finish my stupid damn thesis~ I am going to smash my hardware with the biggest hammer I can find when I finish my thesis..... Anyone is welcome to come along to the sacrifice

Went to 山水 today. Was pretty good restaurant, great service, and cute waitresses. Food was alright, too expensive for how it tastes, or not fine and exquisite for what it costs, however you want to interpret it~

Cold cold night in Auckland, nothing makes it better than hot warm Shin Ramen!
Gosh Auckland has been unusally cold this week~ This is suppose to be summer already!!
Why does it feel like winter.

Listening to Thanksgiving performed by "George Winston" in album "December". Simply love it.

This movie reminds me of the Korean version of American Pie, with equally low disgusting and wickedly funny jokes. As a guy, this movie totally cracks me up, especially the actors who did their part extremely well. I guess in the new Survivor series, they have another source of protein which is readily available.....

Just a few notes, the reason why he is devoted is probably due to the following reasons.....
Firstly, he joined the "Endurance" club, doing all sort of weird things, reminds me of that MTV program (), where they do stupid crazy stunts....
Secondly, if his head aint broken from doing those stunts, he probably broke it while inhaling the insecticide, and jumping out of the 4th floor window.
Third, he ate a rate, which made him sillier......
Fourth, he ate rat poison......
Fifth, he got hit in the balls,
Sixth, he drank some weird hormones designed for animals, resulting in a 38 hour erection..... See all the blood that was supposed to go to the head went elsewhere, so he wasnt thinking properly.....
Seventh, he jumped out from 4th floor again
Eighth, got hammered in the head, by a sledgehammer.

And I have to say, the character Eun Sik has my total respect and admiration, as dumb as he is. He is devotes himself totally, entirely and completely to a girl who has nothing for him....

It is a movie, and probably unrealistic, I know people that dumb, and I know people that committed too~ We all search for a hero, an idol someone who wish we can be, do what we wish we can do, or just someone we can relate to. Whether it is in movies, books, songs, or in life. It is easy to do something knowing that you can do and knowing the results. But doing something knowing it is impossible, or next to impossible or just plain too hard.

I have a dream, that one day I will attempt the impossible, knowing it is impossible, until I succeed.

I am not stupid, I am lazy.
我不笨, 我只是懶.

I am not dumb, I am stubborn.
我不愚蠢, 我只是固執

This one I cant translate.......
我不是看不開, 只是忘不了~

I have been blogging in Chinese for some time, time for me to blog in English again~

I have been listening to Variation of Canon by Pachelbel performed by George Winston in "December" today. It reminded of a time, a place and a person. I guess feelings never die, they just fade away in time. And a key refreshing it maybe anything, a frangance, a picture, a piece of music.

過期的罐頭, 吃了對身體不好
丟了最好

過期的思念, 放在心裡只讓自己心痛
忘了最好

Apple




An apple a day keeps doctors away.
Apples are acidic, so it is not good to eat at night. Better to eat it during the day.
They say if you can split apples in half, it means you are good at dating.

Since some time ago, I have been trying to split the apples into halves. It has grew in me, as with peeling oranges with flat head screw driver and listening to “Variations On The Canon by Pachelbel” twenty times a day.

Although it hasn’t made me any better at dating, I have gotten better splitting apples, my hands doesn’t hurt as much after splitting apples. Maybe one day, I will be better handling rejections too.

難道從生到死
天天在一起
就叫做有緣嗎?

不

由陌生到相識
由歡聚到離別
由相愛到相怨
都是緣

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

愈見離合悲歡
愈是牽扯不清
愈有
椎心的痛
刻苦的傷
緣也就愈深

"離合悲歡總是緣"

我的野蠻女友

I have seen this movie for the 3rd time today. This is one of those movies that give me a different understanding every time I watch it.

記得第一次的只覺全智賢好可愛, 她演奏的Canon Pachelbel 蠻特別的, 細節上有蠻不一樣的感覺.
忘了第二次的感覺,好象只覺得為什么會有那麼奇怪的女生, 似懂而非懂

今天看的感觸,有些事我大概永遠不會明白, 也許也不會有那種耐心,胸懷還有體諒
或許是文化上的差別,或是女生的心裡永遠猜不到
但是女主角的心境是別人永遠沒法猜測
雖然她只是還活在痛苦的記憶中, 懷念過世的男友, 我看了第三次還到最後才知道.
在cafe裡有段話蠻感人 "女主角來自未來,和在過去. 我們活在現在,也許遇到為來的人"

這大概不是文化上表達的差別, 因該是男女之間最大的不同吧.
或許男女之間的距離只能用體諒和無條件的關懷與付出才能跨越的

順帶一提, 原文小說中男女主角後來沒有在一起. 女主角不會彈鋼琴,是為男主角學的. 女主角好象沒有名字.

希望人生中的個位女主角都有一位像牽牛情深又肯付出的男主角; 不管你野蠻不野蠻 : )
當你活在過去時遇到未來的人,希望他會耐心的等待你回到現在.

We are all human.

When we are weak, we all go somewhere, do something, or talk to someone for strength, support and help.

I do not have any religion or faith. I do however believe in a supreme being, may it be in any form or any religion.

When I am weak and vulnerable, I pray.

Last night I prayed. I did not pray for myself.

I prayed for strength, to be strong and bear through this.

But I know I am going to be alright by myself, with time…..

Then I prayed for her. For that god will shine a path, a way to find herself again. For her to walk out of her past and painful memories.

That one day, she can be who she wants and who she is.

Not experiences and memories which makes and shapes her that way.

Maybe she will find her way, maybe someone will help her find her way. I pray that god will find a way for her.

“He knows.”
“Of course, she is mum!”
“Wake up, wake up! You are going to be late!”

A wedding for one of my closest friends.
He is always the fast one, always the first to get things done.
I talked to him just before we got in engineering. It was a course for students who haven’t been in NZ for more than 6 years.

It wasn’t till year 2000, semester 1, week 1 I remembered that I got to know him. He came up to me in the engineering library level 2, and we started chatting.

We both had stories and experiences which we shared. I could remember the day before the Software Design 1E progress check, he helped me out to get up to speed. We then went to Planet Hollywood for a drink, and spoke about Macy Gray and music. He would come over to my place for drink and nibbles from time to time.

And we became project partners in year 4. I have come up with plenty of ideas and not a single result. It was July.

He came up with the first breakthrough result, and we took off. About time we started getting result since the project is due in September. And always motivated to get things done when he put his mind to it.

2 years has gone past. He now has a soul mate, with a house. Soon, it will be a family. Yet with me, stuck at the same place, unchanged at all.

I applaud you Kyusik. May the rest of your life begin today and flourish tomorrow. For the new life has just begun, two (with more to come) bonded with love, commitment, sharing, forgiving and everything.
There will be joy and sorrow.
There will be hardship and success.
There will be downs and ups.
But you will not be alone, for there is another part of you to share.

"You make me want to be a better man."

最近的心情起伏蠻大的, 但再一位好友的開導下, 調整了心態之後,便的好多了.

He also made an interesting observation, that I have not been emotionally committing. Which is somewhat true, that I have not been really putting much effort and attention into girls.

It is also true to some other things, like work ethics. Back to basics, back to fundamental.

Doing the little things right, and doing the right things. Being focused with tasks on hand, and NO PROCRASTINATION.

Of course with change, the hardest part is keeping it.

I am going to commit myself emotionally in what I do, who I meet, and those I like and love.

"You make me want to be a better man."
Melvin (Jack Nicholson), As Good As It Gets.

"The weekend has landed.
All that exist now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties. I've 48 hours off from the world, man. I'm gonna blow steam out of my head like a screaming kettle."

Lightning does strike at the same place twice.
Contrary to what people says, lots of things does happen twice.

SHREK:
For your information, there's a lot more to ogres than people think.
Example? Okay, um, ogres are like onions.
No! Layers! Onions have layers! Ogres have layers! Onions have layers.
You get it? We both have layers.

Orgres have layers, like onions. We may not know that there are layers for onions, until we peel of each layer and find a new layer.
Yet each layer of onions is different to another, the outside layers are dry and rough.

Maybe it is due to the environment, losing moisture and being in contact with rough surfaces.
Or maybe it is genetically designed as such to protect the onion from the outside environment.

Perhaps orgres have layers, only due to the harsh environment that the outter layer becomes rough and dry, like the onion.

Orgres have layers. Do you have layers?

Today is represents a milestone.
For today, I surpassed myself.
I have grown as a person.
Growth no doubt comes at some cost, but the growth I see in myself is very gratifying.

This is indeed a day of joy for me : )
Call me pompous ass, but this is something worthwhile!

Woho!

Was a really rainy day today~
Maybe it was reflective of someone's mood. Pouring down~
Or the reverse of someone's mood, cheerful and happy!!

Started reading the comics Sanctuary again.

Now in search for a dream, a passion, which I can devote myself. Suddenly have an impulse to buy an one way ticket to maybe LA, London, Coppahagen.

Somewhere that I can find a passion or a dream, and find my way to my dream. And maybe it is in search for that dream, that good things in life will come by.

My Xbox is having problems : (
problems booting up to the Xbox dashboard......

No time to fix it yet~~

Oh well.

Love is a creature of myth.

For it takes a different shape and form to each and everyone.

There is an interpretation of each and every, their sanctum.

Shakespeare once said, love is merely madness.

Books, poems, movies cast a very different form what love should be like.

When Shrek met Fiona was certainly when Harry met Sally,

Yet, after “happily ever after”, there were problems, obstacles to be overcame.

In each stage in life, it means something different to us.

But I think love is everything and anything.

When the initial passion and excitement gradually wears off,

It is part of life and everyday, giving and sharing.

When you want to share something nice with them.

When you need someone to talk to for a hard day.

"By night one way, by day another, this shall be the norm

…. take love's true form." From the movie: Shrek
