Green Apple


最近壓力很大,畢竟下星期便是留学試験了
我知道我平時無特別去著重學校的東西(但不知道為什麼還是這麼忙)
所以唯有逼自己而家去溫書啦!
And for a couple of days last week I just completely lost confidence in Japanese.
I just feel like I will never be able to understand and speak Japanese (fluently) like a Japanese, which of course, I am not.
もちろん、日本人のようにペラペラ日常会話ができるまで可能性が。。。あるんですが。。。まだまだまだまだめっちゃ遠ーいような気がする!
But then, learning a language is a lifelong thing, just like how I never think I'm good at English, or even Cantonese. (and I can probably trace down a long argument of whether I am better at Chinese or English... to be honest I don't know either)

And regardless of school and exams, the only thing I can really do is to learn whenever I can, and build up my little portfolio of knowledge everyday, bit by bit.

On a brighter note, there are currently 2 trips planned and coming up for post exams...

我就是喜歡旅遊,我就是想去一些會讓我很わくわく的地方
我就是喜歡不平凡做我的平凡
我就是知道每一樣東西也會是「一期一会」
過了就沒有辦法再跟這些人去一起經歷


I like myself to be like a green apple, and while I travel I slowly ripen

就是很喜歡這個quote
感覺不只是旅行,但人生也一樣。
想每天也做個青蘋果
每天也重新去認識周圍,重新去認識自己
然後經過很多個每天後,
慢慢變成一個很有想法,視野很廣,很有內涵的紅蘋果

Thank you Steve Jobs

If dropping out of Reed was one of Steve Jobs' best decisions he ever made, dropping out of CU should be one of the best decisions I've made.

"You can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in the future."
Although things might not always go the right way, try hard to believe that the dots will indeed, somehow connect one day.Who knew that the typography class would inspire Steve to programme nice fonts for our computers today?

Thank you Steve Jobs, you just made my day.

我們都長大了。

I have been struggling to keep a blog for a couple of reasons:

1. I'm not very good with words and expressing myself precisely,
2. I'm lazy,
3. I'm a very busy girl, always running between places and juggling everything,
4. I spend a lot of time in Starbucks revising, reading, daydreaming,
5. I spend a lot of time doing nothing,
6. I'm very lazy.

But as the new year unfolds and life slowly returns back to normal after a long holiday, I've decided to try to put down some of my daily thoughts as something that I can look back to and fall into reminiscence (from time to time)... and to share with friends some of the little things that I discover in my everyday life :)

And I want a fresh new start.
That's why I decided to start a new blog.

來倫敦已經快四個月了。只可以說”time flies”吧!
這四個月發生了很多很多,感覺到自己不同了。不知道從什麼時候想法變得很積極,變成了一個想做就去做的女生(當然是有衡量自己的状況(じょうきょう)和限度(げんど)之下,不是盲目地唔理三七廿一)。
認識的人多了,感覺到原來已經很大的世界更加大了。寫blog有部份也是想跟朋友分享這些吧。

一直也有跟以前的朋友聯絡,科技讓我可以每天facebook看到朋友在香港過得怎麼樣,我也可以update..還有msn, facebook inbox message, pingchat, e-mail, phone call,最近還download了whatsapp同skype(朋友留宿的時候在我的laptop install了)!其實keep in touch嘅途徑真的數之不盡...!
只是近來跟在中大的朋友chat或STC/以前的朋友見面時有感而發..從前會常常甚至每天見面的朋友,現在大家都在不同的地方生活著。不知道是否因為自己的環境不同了還是想發改變了,我覺得朋友們也不同了
我覺得,我們都長大了。
曾經我們的生活重疊過,縱使那個交差點已經過去了,但認識了,一起經歷了,便是我們人生中一段回憶。

其實我很感激我有中大那一段經歷,縱使那時多麼難過也好,縱使會有人look down on me,中大已經過去了
然而沒有那兩年,我現在所擁有的也會不一樣。所以我也學識了更加珍惜現在
