i believe in something called faith...

It's the end of a semester and the beginning of another~ It's the end of 2006 and the beginning of 2007 (lunar calendar la~)

(this opening...erm...sucks~)

 

Here~ a brief account of this semester:

I was having 30 periods each week, more or less. I took econ, management, political econ apart from my basic courses like math and eng. I'm so glad that I actually am interested in what I'm learing and I can see the application and relevance to the real world. Thank God! Although political econ is... well... one of the most XXX subjects (I just cant find the suitable word! Hope that my score will not be too embarrassing~), I can still make sense out of it~

I am still in Music Association and I joined my college's student union. But of course I feel more comfortable in MASU, haha! I helped in several and performed in a few activites, but I wasn't much involved and was not feeling quite right. Never mind! I've got plans already for the coming semester~! Hehee~ I'll do something great~

 

I remembered last year I had a sense that I didn't have good friends here at college. Right now, I have very good friends~! That kind of friendship is unlike that of in high school. Though we don't spend much time together and mostly we are on our lone, we are intimate. When someone is not feeling good, the others will be at the side to cheer up or simply, be there. I choose not to ask but make our time together enjoyable. Because I'm mature enough to insight what is the need. Thank you and I love you all~you guys know what I'm talking about ^^ And I love my lovely roommates! We have some much fun together~ especially around exams, when we all stay in dorm and study hard all day.

As of friends in high school, the messages and phone calls from them are such good refreshment and precious gifts~! And that brightened my live and made me really happy~! And tonight, I had a really nice chat with Stephy, my best friend in junior high~ wow, I'm still excied~! How I miss thee~!

 

And here~ a list of objects:

That means I've to go back hk and take lessons throughout this vacation. How I wish I can have my own car so that I can drive to school, haha.

 

I'm sure that if I behave and be a good student and finish my academic work in good quality~ I can get that~! Btw, my math, eng and computer score quite good this semester ^^ and my ECA are not bad~hehee~ Why do I want it so badly? Because I don't feel good to ask parents for money and I want to be graduate with merits! It's way better to have actual goal than none, as I learn from my mgt and from my live.

 

It's a shame that I worked less hard on eng this semester~ I really feel bad~ Starting from now, I'll spend much more time and efforts on it.

 

ECA always make me thrill with excitement and enthusiasm~ As I said before, I want to do something great and I will. I promise myself~! Staying sheepish is a crime to me, which I sometimes committed and I hate that.

 

5. Love my family and friends and keep in touch with people

There's not much time and there's loads to do~ Sometimes I just forget~Quiz and presentation are coming~..... All these all excuses~ they shall not keep you from fulfilling your duties as a daughter and elder sister! I shall always bear in mind...

 

I'm so fortunate to have Christian friends; they're all so sweet~! It's so great that we can have Christian fellowship every Friday and we go to church every Sun morning~ I truly understand that all these wonderful things in my live and me myself are all granted by Him. His Love is so great and I'm so fragile and sinful... I long for His words and His blessings~ I promise myself that I will not stop the gatherings, and I've made up my mind that I'll be the church's pianist the next semester. Immanuel~

 

 

Well...that would be all~ thank you~ ^^

I'll start my driving lessons tomorrow and will try to keep in touch with you guys~!

 

Wow! It seems that this space was abandoned~ Can't remember the last time I logged in ^^'''

 

Resuming from the national day holiday and all the break ice parties, I'm back on my track and lead a live as a hardworking and common college student. ie never skip lessons, listen attentively in classs and take notes, complete assignments on time, go to meetings that I should, chat with friends, spend much time reading~ Time goes by and I'm repeating my routine day by day, week by week. There's no other thoughts in my mind. I can't tell whether this is the life that I'm after. But I've a hinch that something is missing. I don't know~ I can't name it. Or maybe I'm less ambitious though I don't think I've lowered down my self-expectation.

 

Perhaps that's because I've been on the college campus for a year and that modifies me into someone quite different from my fellow freshmen classmates. Compared with them, I look at things differently, dress differently. The difference is less enthusiastic and more sophisticated. I once thought I was too naiive and couldn't wait to dump my childishness. Now, I still act like a kid that smile innocently and always ask people to buy me icecream. But deep inside, I am aware that I've changed and things just cannot go back as before. Whether I like it or not, I'm in some ways more sophisticated and realistic.

 

Anyway~~ things go smoothly and I am learning to be greatful. I just hope that I can get online in my dorm soon so I can keep in touch with you guys~!

May I have your attention to the following announcement:

 

1. Ivy is still alive and as sweet and innocent as before! ^^

 

2. Ivy has already finished her exams and is plotting her great plan~

 

summer vacation plan:

(1) learn to drive and get driving license (she's enrolled~)

(2) go to work with her dad

(3) practise the piano

(4) spend time with her family, esp her 2 little sisters

(5) go to taiwan with her family

(6) plan next semester's piano contest~

*(7) go to a trip with all her high school friends!!!!!!! (already vvvv excited!!)

 

3. Ivy is turning to 19 years old this summer vacation~ August 4th~

    Get your presents prepared please~~~!

 

4. Ivy gains weight... She is starting to go on a diet, but she keeps postponing it~~~ sigh~~~

    Btw, she's changed her hair style... not very good actually~ she regrets doing that!!

 

5. Ivy is dissatisfied with herself in the past year. In a word, she studied too little~

    Just reading the paper and listening to npr is far from enough if she wants to score high on Toelf and GRE.

 

    Ivy is writing plans for the work in music association and for her study next semester~

    She puts English on the 1st place, then her academic study, and third extra-curricular activities. But that doesn't

    mean that she won't devote to her beloved music association~

 

6. Ivy doesn't know what to write next~ so... that will be it~ Thank you for reading and plz leave her messages!

 

Final word~ Ivy miss her friends and longs to meet them all again this summer vacation!!!

Today is April Fool's Day...just happen to realise~ Hehee, have a good day everyone! And after 8 hours, I'll be busy grasping sponsors~sigh~

 

I've been really busy! There's now loads of things in my head! I can't straighten them out! I'm trying to list them out in point form...

 

1.

I'm now engaged in two activites: The series of activities about the Year of Mozart and a photo show. The critical thing is that~

My work=2*(write and rewrite and re-rewrite proposals and procedures + coordinate people from different departments + find sponsors)

It's challenging, though consuming almost all of my time and efforts. In a nutshell, I'm doing my best and try to make fun out of these.

 

2.

I'm having a bad attack of diarrhea ><...Practically whatever I eat, I go to the restroom within 2 hours. I've had this for 3 days, which means I've been living on water, plain congee, juice, plain oil-free bread... But thanks heaven that vomiting and fever spare me this time~

What's more~ no matter how many hours I sleep, it just seems never to be enough! Yesterday, I went to bed at 11 and woke up at 9, 10 whole hours! However still found myself drowsy in the afternoon and at night.

 

3.

Last week, I went shopping with my roommate, which is very rare. To make it even more rare and weird, I bought loads of things!!! ie. colorful and cutie tops, a very lady-like skirt, a short jacket which is above my waist, an also very lady-like handbag...

Yesterday, I wore them out (well, it's hard to imagine but I really did this!), and surprised some people~( I don't want to use words like "frighten" ,"scare"...^^)

Actually, it's not too bad~ hehee...Maybe next time you'll see if you're lucky enough~

 

Hopefully, everything will be running smoothly so I can have a brake next weekend.(But I can now tell you that the possibility is really small...) I really need one, to say farewell to  these "insanity".

Lilac is the color;

Hyacinth is the flower.

It's fascinating though elusive, leading to nowhere...

 

My efforts are in vain.

There're no echoes...

 

Nevertheless,

I'm after it,

Still, without regrets...

 

 

 

My space just underwent a renovation. Is it prettier and more charming? 'Cause I've spent time on it, between brakes and into the night. It also took me efforts to collect those gorgeous photos, and paste them up for sharing...I've to say I'm actually quite pleased with my work! ^^ What do you think?

 

But pity that not every efforts you made will repay you...

 

 

Looking at those wonderful creatures, I'm refreshed and moved. I can almost smell the fragrance...They remind me that there're many things around so incredibly beautiful and striking.

 

Strange enough, many people don't think that they are happy when asked, me included.

Why?

Because we have our attention focus on what fails us, while often neglect what we have and the fact that we're actually very fortunate.

 

Take your time and look at those pretty flowers. You surly must have seen them and may walk pass them everday, yet without appreciating. Now feel their loviness, feel the beauty around you, feel the wonders in your live...

 

Always have faith and most importantly... be happy! ^^

 

 

There's been a whole month since I last surfed to edit and visit blogs.

 

Part of it is due to laziness. But more is because I need time to deal with myself and try to lead a quiet, soothing live. It is the time I face up to the precious memories and my agony, the time I lick my wound, the time I make changes to my live.

 

I love gatherings and love to have fun together. However the fact that they are mostly in GZ and I'm alone in ZH or SZ really really strikes me hard... I am eager to retain the intimate bonds but it is elusive. What we have in common belongs to the past and there's no way I can get to their social circuit.

 

This had bothered me for a long time without my awareness. Now I'm brave enough to admit it and learn to cherish what I have now and to do what I can do. So~ just let it be! I'll do what I can do!

 

In my so-called quiet live, I build great friendship with my roommates and that soothes me and brings the kind of simple and plain happiness. At the same time, I work hard on extra-curricular activites that I find enjoyments. The activities are about music and art, my favorite ^^! I just finish a proposal on the series of activites about "The Year of Mozart". It really inspires and encourages me that 2 seniors important to me also love the proposal and go for it!

 

After this month, I guess I'm more peaceful. I can't say I'm over it, but at least, I'm moving on...
