Courage is facing what we fear

Finished the chinese 'O' level paper and watched X-men 3 yesterday. The movie was quite nice, with all the fanastic graphics, superb sound effects and good ending. Well, going to watch over the hedge next. Many people say that it is nice to watch, with some giving like 4-5 stars out of a total of 5.

Its the hols now, even though we need to go back to school during the first 2 weeks. Well, I always turn into my relaxed mode during the holidays, with my schedule consisting of watching the drama on channel 55, the PS2, street soccer, basketball, movies, walks, some light reading and of course revision. But it will appear to be quite boring after some time. And that's the time when school reopens, haha.

Talking about drama. The korean dramas are hot like anything else now, with the title everyone is most familiar with, da chang jin. Have not watched it and dont intend to, because I dont really like korean gu zhuang. the Hong Kong dramas are still the number 1 choice to me. Was just trying to classify the types of Hong Kong drama that I watched. To me, the best ones are those that are a little funny, lame, actioned, have surprising endings, romantic and those with fatastic storylines. Leave out those that are boring and those that " bring you nowhere". Also, the theme songs are pleasing to the ear, well at least to me.

If we want to have something in return for what we have sacrificed or given, that is called an exchange, but when you are willing to release something without requesting for any payback, that is called love.

Well, until then, enjoy your holidays! =)

Joga Bonito, play beautiful

So still wondering about the phrase above? It means play beautiful, though I do not know in which language. Yup, just playing soccer beautifully. Had a small little incident at the street soccer court yesterday where someone on the opposing team was playing rough. Well, this just displays to me that they are lousy in soccer, because the better ones often do not have to resort to rough play. There is a difference between playing rough and playing tough.

Next, I was just pondering on one of my previous posts. In there, I wrote that if you love something or are passionate about something, nothing will dampen your passion for it. But coming to think of it, I find that there are just some exceptions. Somethimes, the actions of others really make you feel either just so fed-up or disappointed, considering that you have done something for them. The gratefulness is just not there.

Even though I am not really satisfied with the method of resolving the problem, I still respect one of my teachers for saying this, that values is more important than studies. To analyse this, lets just prioritise both of them. With values, such as determination, courage, attitude, no matter how weak you are in your studies, you will rise up. Even if you dont, you will gain the support of others around you, because of what they see in you. However, even if you are the top student anywhere, without these values, you will still drop sooner or later and get looked-down upon by others. You cannot learn such stuff from books, you must learn from experience to possess them. And maintaining them is not an easy task, especially when situations differ from one to another.

With the world cup looming in, can really feel the soccer atmosphere. People rushing to suscribe to the cable tv sports channels, buying world cup merchandise, playing the official world cup game. Well, to me, the world cup is just the best sporting event ever, the pride is on the line, the skills displayed, the tactics used, 1 word to describe it all, superb. Well, I am going for PORTUGAL. There are a star studded team, though not as good as the Brazilans.

Last but not least, so glad Henry signed for Arsenal. Well, this means a more balanced power, otherwise clubs like Chelski and Barca and tougher to beat.

Just have FUN

Wow, had so much fun from the soccer session today. Played 4-a-side together with the e2 ppl. Much chance to move about with the ball. Street soccer is just so fun. And I am just so glad that there is a street soccer court near my house. Didn't know that some of the girls are getting addicted to soccer too. Anyway, soccer is just so fun and all about a display of skills and teamwork.

Saw many ppl lending click 5 cds here and there. Yet to hear it yet. Going to borrow it soon.

This week also had many people going about with serious faces. Haha, what's on with serious faces. Just relax and be positive, because you never know what it going to happen tomorrow. So dont about with serious and "black" faces unless something really blows you up.

An, no football crazy on channel 23 today. Well, all due to the wet weather. Hmmm..... quite disappointed.

Anyway the eng oral today. Saw so many anxious faces today. All eager to just get tested and leave that state of anxiety.

Chinese 'o' levels in 2 weeks time.

Well, this post just does not match my previous posts. This post only presents 1 para of some advice , compared to the rest of the posts, all that huge lot of discipline and reflection stuff.

Life is just so short. Do not wait till the last moments to share your LOVE. Show it now! Have fun and relax with life, because no one is sure what's there tomorrow.

Calmness

I just discovered 1 thing. Since there are 2 sides to a coin, before we just make a fast conclusion and become biased about someone else, why not just think of the good things the other party has done. This will just help to calm our inner self to think more logically and realistically instead of becoming biased towards anyone at that instant moment.

This week passed quite quickly. The NP day parade. Quite nervous on stage, but became more used to it later on. Last NP day parade. Remembering how I disliked the long parades, now I just wish for that parade feeling to linger on longer, because it will never come back again. Even there is another parade, it will not be the same because the same people are no longer involved in it. The feeling is lost. I think it is only when something is going to be taken away from us that we start to realise its presence and to apreciate its value.The chance will never present itself again. Even if opportunity presents itself again, it will only come in another form, because just like how the rivers flow, time can never flow back. The thing that remains intact is the memories we have, and that's why people always say " let's hope the memories last"

The week also saw a sad incident, the passing away of a young life. Much has been said about it, and I am sure how everyone feels so I wont dwell on the sad part.

The fragaility of life. The priceless value. That same person will never be there, to just joke or be angry with you. It's just all too late to just regret at that time. This not only happens in just that single case, it applies to everyone and everything, because you will never know what might happen next. All we need is to be contended and feel the love of life. At the end of the day, it does not matter where is your next destination, the crucial part is what have you reaped on the way to your destination. That is what you hope to achieve when you are setting your aim in the 1st place, your objective is to learn something,know something, feel something and not look for something.
