Favourite Quotes -- Eclipse

I’ll be back so soon you won’t have time to miss me. Look after my heart — I’ve left it with you. (Edward)

You are the only one who has ever touched my heart. It will always be yours. (Edward)

If there were any way for me to become human for you — no matter what the price was, I would pay it. (Edward)

I supposed it’s a little outdated. Old-fashioned, just like me. (Edward)

All of my best nights have happened since I met you. (Edward)

When I left you, Bella, I left you bleeding. Jacob was the one to stitch you back up again. That was bound to leave its mark — on both of you. I’m not sure those kinds of stitches dissolve on their own. I can’t blame either of you for something I made necessary. I may gain forgiveness, but that doesn’t let me escape the consequences. (Edward)

Favourite Quotes -- New Moon

I promise that this will be the last time you’ll see me. I won’t come back. I won’t put you through anything like this again. You can go on with your life without any more interference from me. It will be as if I’d never existed. (Edward)

I could see it in your eyes, that you honestly believed that I didn’t want you anymore. The most absurd, ridiculous concept—as if there were any way that I could exist without needing you! (Edward)

Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… And then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn’t see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything. (Edward)

My heart hasn’t beat in almost ninety years, but this was different. It was like my heart was gone—like I was hollow. Like I’d left everything that was inside me here with you. (Edward)

Well, I’m nearly a hundred and ten. It’s time I settled down. (Edward)

Favourite Quotes -- Twilight

What if I’m not a superhero? What if I’m the bad guy? (Edward)

About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how potent that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. (Bella)

It’s like you’ve taken half my self away with you. (Edward)

For almost ninety years I’ve walked among my kind, and yours… all the time thinking I was complete in myself, not realizing what I was seeking. And not finding anything, because you weren’t alive yet. (Edward)

Talking about Obsession

Well, I know it's a bit crossing the line but why bother? There's no harm done so why can't I, once in a while, to be obsessed with something I'm really crazy about, like the crush I have on my Edward Cullen?

I have to admit that the elements in this story are no different from that of other romance you have read in your teenage. But together with the mysterious vampire and werewolf tales, the witty lines, the romance, the almost-perfect male protagonist have already driven me crazy.

There're many things for me to worry about every day so I guess it's a good idea to immerse in an imaginary world that allows me to enjoy and relax. Besides, realising I'm still young enough to do crazy stuff like reading the first two novels in 3 days and getting really hooked on a character, be frank, I kind of feel good and proud of myself! Perhaps this is another reason why I don't bother to control my fascination (maybe you can call it obsession) towards the novels and the characters.

So please don't make a face at me next time when you see me totally absorbed in the book -- I won't compromise anyway and you know very clearly that I'll be back to my normal life after I've finished all the 4 books.

Just give me some crazy time.

What can I do? What should I do? What will I do?

After all those difficult times I've gone through, I thought it just disappeared without trace. The strong feeling of disappointment appeared at the beginning no longer stayed after some time. But now the terrible (yet not so terrible sometimes) sensation pops up in my mind again suddenly without any notice.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
Jesus Christ! Can I just let it go?

Packing for Trip

Alright, I have to admit that my suitcase now weights 18.8kg. That means with 1.2kg more, I'll be charged for overloading on the day I return to Hong Kong.

But the fact is the suitcase alone weights 7kg. It's soooo unfair!!! I know my beloved clothes will be the one to sacrifice~!

Part-time Job

I'VE ALREADY GOT 880 DONE!!! WILL ONLY DO 120 MORE AND I DON'T FxxxING CARE THE REST!!!
I NEED SOME HOLIDAY BEFORE THE NEXT PART-TIME JOB STARTIG NEXT TUE!~

(This picture exactly describes my nightmare~ That's right, I'm paid to click in front of a computer! :-P)

Confession of a Fashionholic

First of all, let me make one thing absolutely clear -- I'm no way a shopaholic, as compared to my two lovely friends Leopard and Clam. They're much crazier than I am when it comes to spending money on fashion items.

But I just realise how crazy I am when I'm determined to choose a perfect outfit for parties or dates. It'll be my colleague's wedding banquet tomorrow so I was busy looking for accessories and stuff to match with my tube dress in the morning. Clothes were spread all over the bed and I was also busy walking around the flat finding the perfect shoes and earrings to match with it.

And all of a sudden, I realised I was ECSTATIC about it! I don't mean to suppress and deny my feeling but since when it has been one of my favourite things to do at home? Since my university study or way back in the 90's? Well, but i know peer influence has a great impact...

Anyway, I have to admit that matching outfits is one of the most fabulous things to do! Hurray!

Feeling frustrated again...

Please free your kids if they can’t fit into an EMI school!

You know? Some just can’t cope with the school culture and no matter how hard you try, they just can’t meet the school’s requirement. Now I know sometimes effort just can’t help because they are too far behind the others (in both academic performance AND attitude)!

The teachers have already tried their best and spent a lot of extra time in helping them to do just a little bit better. They also phone you several times a month, just hoping parent-teacher communication could help solve the problem. But you know this just can’t help but why do you still insist on putting your beloved kids in a place that they don’t belong to? Knowing that they suffer from failure every lesson, I really feel sorry for them, don’t you?

Please let go! They’re suffering, struggling and stressful and under enormous pressure every minute at school! When you and your kids have already tried all you can but things don’t change, it’s time to leave. If not, they’ll lead a very unhappy life at school. When time goes by, they’ll feel less and less motivated in their studies and eventually lose interest in any kinds of learning! I’ve seen enough of these tragedies!

For God’s sake, please don’t ruin their life! Why don’t you free your kids?

Isn't it our responsible to love and take care of our kids?
How come some of us are so cold-blooded that they even harm their offsprings?
And why is human relationship so vulnerable?
Okay, I admit that I'm very confused and have too many questions to ask at the moment.
But who's able to solve all my doubts? Who's still certain that we're able to give our kids bright future?
What we can do is to pray for those kids...

Marking Progress

I'm sick of marking...

During the Christmas holiday, I marked 6 piles of compositions and countless reports and drama projects.
Since I got back to work, I've finished marking 8 piles of English exam papers and 5 piles of messy History exam papers.

Now, I'm strugling with the last pile of compositions.

In the coming weekend, I have to mark 2 piles of writing exam papers.
After that, I need to mark composition corrections and check composition folders, not to mention the long-forgotten lesson planning...

OMG, how come life is so stressful? When will it come to an end?

世上唯一付出與收穫成正比的事

世上唯一付出與收穫成正比的事，或最有機會成正比的事，就是美貌。

撇除天災人禍不計。

各有前因莫羨人，別怨人家天生天香國色，自己則是醜小鴨要投放大量資源才可扭轉困局。

或許，人家前生修橋補路，你就殺人放火呢。

髮型不好看髮質不好？用正確方法洗頭，勤修剪護理，別貪便宜，找個適合的的hair stylist囉。

皮膚粗糙有暗瘡有雀斑？看醫生，飲食配合，勤力護膚，上美容院囉。

不懂化妝？去上堂學囉，practice makes perfect。

指甲啞黃單薄甲型奇怪？做gel nail遮醜或天天塗hardener囉。

永遠有三十磅減不去？世上沒有減不了的肥，只視乎你願意流多少汗水和捱餓多久。

即使嫌棄自己五官醜陋平胸小腿粗壯，都總有辦法解決。

要化醜為妍，過程漫長而且時時令人氣餒。

世事沒多少盡如人意，相對掌握男人，掌握美麗已經易過借火。

有一個朋友討厭自己腳掌大要穿39號鞋，常羨慕別人能穿35、36號鞋，這就真的無可奈何。

某次在酒樓午膳，看到鄰桌一名鯨吞了十碟點心身型有如中央圖書館五官平庸一頭甩色啡金髮化妝七零八落的女士高聲跟坐在對面友人說：「唓！d男人淨係鍾意追靚女，心地好唔係重要d咩？如果我想自己變靚，話咁易啦，不過我情願識個男人欣賞我內在美囉。」

我繼續低頭看八卦雜誌，但心裡講了一句：「你老味，食飽死返上屋企發你個春秋大夢啦，訓訓下就會有條仔買埋外賣送上門o架啦。」

A Terrible Truth

It has been reported to me that a timid boy in my class has been bullyed for 2 consecutive months since the start of the term. Feeling shocked, I talked to the students concerned and referred the case to the discipline team. Things were not that bad at first but after talking with them, more truths have been revealed, making the issue more complicated.

It's not my first time to deal with a bullying case but this one really makes me suffer a lot emotionally. I still can't believe a group of 13-year-old boys, who still look childish and innocent, have bullied a classmate physically and mentally in a way that I thought such case would never happen in a renowned school.

On one hand, I'm glad that timely action can be taken before it grows into a huge trouble. On the other hand, I feel really fed up because I feel sorry for the miserable life the poor timid boy had.

Education is not just transmitting knowledge. It's more than that. But when it comes to value education, we often feel helpless because family influence always plays a much bigger part.

18 October 2008

It has come to the big day finally. It's a remarkable day because we've now come to a new stage in life. It's a lifetime commitment that keeps us connected forever and to become each other's lifelong companion.

I'll love you till the end of the day. Let us walk hand in hand and grow old together.

It's appraoching~!

After one and a half year of preparation, it finally comes the count-down period. It is still anxiety but not excitement which fills my mind. I can't figure out why but maybe the feeling of joy will only appear at that magic moment/ after loads of hard work/ when I dress for the event.

To me, the worst scenario on that day would be somebody getting angry with something or mad with somebody else. I just want everyone to be happy and pleased with the arrangement. Be frank, it's one of my biggest motivation because I really want people to share my joy and enjoy the day with me. I even persuade myself to forget the mess on that day and enjoy the big big day.

I'm a typical Type VI. I hope I can let go of my anxiety and be a happy bride on that day.

Wish everything's fine.

A moment to mourn

Well, I've done sooo many memorable things this summer and it's really amazing to know that I've finally achieved all the tasks in a rather successful way!~ Hurrrrray!!!

I really feel proud of myself because I took part in the Equestrian events as volunteer, worked as a CE hotline volunteer, played in an orchestra (it's been my dream for the last 3 years!!!), not to mention I've met many new and old friends this summer!!!

I really can't imagine it's time to start the new school term tomorrow! :-(
It's time to start working very hard again!

Equestrian Jumping Final

We all had great fun! The weather was just fine and the competition was really exciting!

It's a REALLY touching performance!

Invited by Fi. Got the tickets for free.

At first I didn't have much anticipation because I knew it at first it was performed by a group of physically handicapped children/ teenagers.

Though it was a re-run, everyone on stage performed their best and I was very much impressed by how much they could do on stage and how vivid their performance was!

The message behind the play was "hope, faith and courage", which was nothing new but could never be stronger when it was delivered by a group of physically handicapped children. You can't imagine how great the impact was unless you were one of the audience!

Punctuality

轉載:

有幾次到大專院校演講，都遇見一些遲到的學生，遲十五分鐘、三十分鐘、四十五分鐘的，但竟沒有甚麼不好意思，照樣大搖大擺走進課室。

也有一次一節九十分鐘的課，有兩個男學生在八十分鐘時才施施然出現。

我門他們來幹甚麼?他們答：『上堂。』我問那一堂是何時開始的?他們隨口便答對了，我只好把他們逐出課室，他們也沒有悔意，口中喃喃自語。

時代變了，學生現在是顧客，是教育的消費者，但不是人。

人應該知恥，但我們的上一代把香港人變成一種無恥之人，沒有家教才會不知恥。

學校縱容學生也是不負責的行為。

準時是從小培養的習慣，是對人對己的尊重。

但今天好像不重要了，香港那些自稱世界級大學的甚麼大學，連學生上課的基本學習紀律也弄不好，我也不明白老師和教授們如何可以忍受這程遲到的現象。

遲到反映了學生的學習態度有問題，老師和校方不去管教，令問題變得更大，也是香港教育的一種腐敗現象，也是香港獨有的。

北大、清華、劍橋、倫大、哥大、早稻田、台大等著名大學都沒有那麼多無恥地遲到的大學生。

Of course, this happens not only in university, but also among people I know...

Should I protest against or get used to it? :-(
