你爱我吗？ I love you, not.

Times are different now, I have realized.

When I was in Secondary school, we don't fall in love. We have crushes, we have innocent puppy love, or simply just a severe case of LIKE. Now, children as young as primary 5 hold hands. o.0 Needless to say, Secondary school children can even be more experienced in the department of love than me, though I would like to believe that I'm far more rational and matured now.


Of course, I underwent the same course as many of you but it was definitely after Secondary school that I properly had my first taste of love. I used to quiz my Secondary 2 (now Secondary 3) student cum friend cum 'brother', "So next time when you get married, how are you going to tell your wife about how many girlfriends you've had? Or, who will be your REAL first love?" He laughed and said he really didn't think of this so he could not answer me.

Somehow, I have come across many students who have changed partners so frequently, I wonder if they really know what love it all about. I can safely tell you how many boyfriends I've had. I don't have to count fingers and toes and still not get the right number. What about you?

Then, in the midst of changing boyfriends and girlfriends, there will inevitably be the cause of the soured relationship. Of course, there are some ridiculous one who simply break off because the "feel" is no longer there. Others engage in various degrees of quarrels, fights and tear-jerking moments. I feel you, if you come to me and cry or you tell me how things aren't working anymore. I know how it feels. Been there, done that.


“It takes two hands to make a clap”. Well, it does in a relationship. Humans are social animals as they would always need love, company, attention, fulfillment of their needs and so on.

It takes a two way communication process in order to maintain a harmonious relationship. There is no such thing as a one-way love although it may happen in a certain stage of a relationship. Sooner or later, the party would be burnt out. Everyone would like to love and be loved. No one would like a monotonous relationship where both are doing their personal things without any communication all the time. Would you?

‘Opposites attract’. It is this very reason that a man is attracted to a woman and vice versa. (Probably not all the time, but let's just say it happens most of the time.) There is no doubt in my mind that the perfect couple does quarrel. (Which refers to any of you in a relationship.)

There times when you may feel like knocking your head against the wall because she refuses to see that what you say is right and no matter what apology is something that only you have to do, yet you can't part with your pride to do so. Right, this is said in a girl's viewpoint but I really think "sorry" is a powerful word that can pacify an angry soul and soften a terribly upset heart.

As the saying goes, ‘teeth and tongue will meet’, so yes, couples will quarrel and have disagreements but they should be committed to finding a solution or at least a middle ground from which to sort their problems out. Love cannot sustain itself… It takes work. Couples need to appreciate each other and celebrate their differences as well as their commonalities. Granted that things may get boring after some time. Reminisce about the ‘good old days’ when your love was ‘brand new’.

There's no shortcut to this "game" of love, with rules ever-changing and unexpected twists and turns.

Even though I still don't think it's the right time to fall in love, after all, all of you are too young and can hardly be sure of what you exactly want, plus things do change in the future... I still hope you can try your utmost best to make miracles. Make it or break it, it is just a thin line away. Embrace love while you both can for it is too late for regrets should things get way out of hand and beyond cure...

For the rest who are not engaged in a BGR, you can still love! Celebrate love. Be it love of your boyfriend / girlfriend, of your family, of your friends... And you'll be surprised how it may change your life...

我很忙

虽然快到六月假期了，但是，工作还是排山倒海地向我们冲过来！哀哉！

总之，忙啦。没时间来这里写东西。

必须准备自己的工作评估，得为学生的比赛做准备，得开会，得准备家长会。再熬多一个星期。一个星期！度日如年还是要坚持！

同学们一定都玩得不亦乐乎了吧！好好享受啦，六月假期时，老师们也不会手下留情!

I've still been busy even though the examinations are over.

Work review, competition preparations, meetings, Parents-Teacher Conference... Just one more week. Gotta keep going til then!

Bet all of you are enjoying life to the max now. Ha, enjoy while it lasts, June holidays would be 'fun-filled' with holiday assignments, I assure you! Lol...

乐 忧

很多情绪只在一线之差。

同件事情能让你很幸福，也能让你很沮丧。

玩得太开心／疯狂，随之而来的，往往是一阵空虚。

昨天是前者，今天是后者。

很空洞。很无奈。

有时候，我宁愿很忙很忙，这样就能麻醉一切感官，把所有潜伏、被压抑的杂念、翻腾的思绪给制服。

就一晚。

让我颓废一晚。

Not gonna translate

To sum it up

It's just an emo entry

Random updates & thoughts about Show

大家好！

Hi all...

很久没有写东西了。没时间，也没有心去写。

I haven't been updating coz I haven't had the time / energy or heart to really write larh...

最近忙些什么呢？

Updates on myself these while...

1）在学校，不外是监考，改卷，算分，还替大家把卷子都钉在一块儿，然后打洞。看，老师多好！星期一（2－2，1－3，2－7）和星期二（1－4），要记得带计算机，才可以计算分数哦！

1) In school, it's the examinations period. So as expected, I'm done with invigilation, finished marking all papers, collated the marks, painstakingly stapled everyone's scripts together (from paper 1 to paper 3 inclusive of all question papers...), punched holes for everyone... So when we get back our scripts on Monday / Tuesday, it would be really FAST and can get down to checking answers real quickly.

Anyway, if you guys don't know, Monday, I'll be seeing 2-2, then 1-3, followed by 2-7, Tuesday, I'll be seeing 1-4. Basically, each session would last 1.5hours, inclusive of giving out of papers, checking marks and answers. So do bring your calculators... Don't wanna drag too much time.

2）星期天，第二次看了《天冷就回来》。超爱的。有空，会好好做个“全程记录”！有照片为证哦！


昨晚，看了美国电影《阳光小美女》。很不完美的故事，但看起来却如此完美。我喜欢背后的故事。世上真的只有胜者和败者吗？在中间徘徊的你、我、他又算什么呢？很值得欣赏的一部好片！

2) Watched "If there're Seasons" once again on last Sunday and it was a blast. Love it love it love it. I simply love musicals and theatre performances. Ever mesmerizing. Will write an entry on it soon!


Last night, I watched "Little Miss Sunshine". Always wanted to watch the movie but never had the time. So I forced myself to finish the movie and I was really impressed by the simplicity of the story. It's so true about how imperfect our lives can be, yet we can make meaning out of it. Many lessons to be learned from the story. Is life only about winning and losing? What about those who don't win? Are they losers? Are people who lose never winners? A dysfunctional family, struggling to stay together. A little girl who has a dream. The crowd who is blinded by society norms. The family who stays cohesive til the end. Definitely a 5/5 movie! Which reminds me of Slumdog Millionaire. Another story about a simple person leading an extraordinary life. I shall go watch Juno soon.


Come think of it, all these stories seem to share common features... Dysfunctional families... Strong-willed individuals... People and things that can be found just around us... Cool beans.

3）关于小猪，罗志祥。很愤怒。对于媒介给予他的评论，我只能说，呸！当然，我不能找出任何证据，证明他的清白。但，媒体又何尝找到任何证据来给他定罪呢？人非圣贤。知错能改，善莫大焉。如果真是他错了，难道就要置他于死地吗？看到他在《娱乐百分百》落泪，我不禁为他担心。人们会当作他是在博取同情分还是被他的真心打动？我属相信他的那一类。



罗志祥也是受害者啊。他有想过自己会被出卖吗？他难道不能拥有私人生活吗？真正该被抨击的是社会上的许许多多无恶不作、欺负弱小、虐待妻儿的人呀！做为媒体人，为自己积德吧！突然我庆幸没有当记者。手握着多可怕的笔，指尖打出多么恶毒的字句啊！真是令人不寒而栗。

小猪，我挺你的啦！

3) About Show Luo. I watched Entertainment 100% last afternoon, last night and on Youtube. I don't know how the media / people would see his crying stint on his show. For 15 minutes, he spilled tears after baring his heart and soul, trying hard to defend himself and apologizing after the incident has gotten out of hand. (Go read the entertainment news / google to find out more.) Some may feel he's just trying to gain sympathy points from people. Some may feel he is Real and simply wanted someone to believe in him.


I belong to the latter. I really think he is a hardworking artiste. We are humans after all. We make mistakes. What is the big deal about this, you may ask. The big deal is, he is a public figure. So because he is 'public', he is supposed to keep his private life under wraps OR keep it untainted. I seriously don't think what he has done is so detrimental in any way. Why didn't people see it from the point that he was being betrayed? Imagine, you trust someone, pouring all your woes and eventually probably developed feelings for the someone, only to find out that everything was displayed in public. Someone decides your future for you. Someone washes your dirty linen out there. How devastated would you feel?

I feel for him. I really do. Why are there worse people out there whose news are not splashed across the newspapers? What about the unfaithful husbands / wives / boyfriends / girlfriends? What about the abusive spouses? What about the school bullies? What about the mistreated / underprivileged individuals? Come on! If the media people feel that they write what we like to read, why can't they think this way: we read what they write. If you twist facts, we won't read it either. I really hope he gets his justice. And for a record, I really hated the reporters who said how he used his mother to portray his good-boy image. I salute him for his filial piety. It's evident how he loves his mother and vice-versa. The media is plain mean to put him down when he's in the dumps right now.

Rawr. Furious.

Now that's another reason why I didn't want to become a journalist. Freedom of speech doesn't happen. Rather, we end up writing what we are made to write. Politically correct or sickeningly juicy news for the masses.

And so here I am to educate the young minds... Maybe that's a mission after all... My calling ya? Hm...

Peace out.

雨中的祝福

刚到家没多久。好一阵子没有这么夜出门、这么“早”回家。看了电影，在海边看星星，在车上听音乐、看着点点雨滴滑落车窗。

I just came back home not too long ago... Hee, been a long time since I returned home during the wee hours. We watched a movie, sat by the beach, star-gazed, relax in the car and listen to songs while watching the rain pitter-patter away...



我很享受整晚的平静，更感谢有人的陪伴（是谁陪谁已经不重要啦），虽然有时我静得可怕，欣赏着周遭的细微变化，不知不觉发呆起来。

I like the comfort and company throughout the night, though I have this thing for stoning away and enjoy little wonders of nature in my own queer way. :X

该睡觉了。来来来，大家给寿星公祝贺一番！看到此帖子的朋友就留言祝福他生日快乐吧！

Gotta catch some sleep soon. My darlings who have read this entry, c'mon, say "Happy Birthday, KS!" at the tagboard! Lovely wishes are meant for all lovely people!

Happy Birthday KS~~

How well do you know your family? + misc

Have you handed in your updated information *inclusive of yourself and your parents'*?

Well, I hope everyone of you has done so...

Today's Baby Blues comic reminded me of the contact information we required...



Cute uh? CIA agent...

Anyhow, today's insanely chaotic due to the two temperature taking sessions. I'm sure lessons were disrupted and loads of hassle was required to mobilise the students to the infirmary area. Being part of the Warden Group, I was assigned to be the Sec 2 I/C. Rawr... If there were less students without ODTs we could have finished this temperature-taking exercise much faster!

Get your own thermometers! We'll still be conducting the exercise throughout the examinations period. If you don't want to be late for your exams and not be given any grace, kindly purchase one...

Meanwhile, study hard!! All the very very best to all my darlings of 1-3, 1-4, 2-2, 2-7 and not forgetting 3-3! (And also to my chinese drama kids... (: )
