Spider Cat ::

hey what's up?

I need backup!! Helpppppp!!

combined spider cats!!

Those pictures are found on a kitty's webblog. I love cats, suddenly after I adoptted one from the Cat Protection Society in New Town. Well....but i'm not gonna talk about my kitty, coz that's too much that I wanna say. When looking at the pictures, I recalled my childhood. I was once climbing on the wall like that....crazy!! It's like when we are young, we would do whatever we like, and so naught to climb up a high place then jump to the ground. I even used the long coffee table as a slide''' that's so much fun! Aiiiiii, I wonder if I can ever do it again*0*

a lifelong sorrow :: a lifelong memory


This was very much of a chick flick, but suprisingly I was on the edge of having tears rolling down my face when Drew [Orlando Bloom] was looking down at his dead father. The strong sense of family bonding. Reminds me of my parents half way across the world. One would never realise how much a family really matters if they're never been living without them. I can feel the guilt gushing up my throat when I asked if I could go back this Christmas. Possibility is really high now, but I wonder if they really want me back.

And I thought of my grandmother....
She passed away last February. Every one went back to my birthplace, Nanjing, to attend her funeral, but except me....coz i'm still in sydney n everything just so sudden, I even don't know how to react. After watching the film, I really really wanna go back to Nanjing, to see her again, to meet my relatives....My situation is simply the same as Drew, left the hometown for ages and went to places to places.......when I go back, all of them will welcome me and make all kind of food i like, play together, sing together.....but I don't know when, maybe years n years later. Now I feel so regret. Why don't me just go back at that time?? I should, seriously.


Those days when I was packing things, I found a neckace given from my grandma. I miss her so much!!!! I remember the smell of chicken wings and pan fried fillet she made. I remember the soft yelling of hers when me and my sister were fighting. I remember the tickling sensation when her nails scratches my neck as she unbuttoned the top collar for me when I was young. I remember seeing her lying on the table in a peaceful state.

I remember the smile on her gentle face.

People always say: when we are growing up, we seem to see more, learn more, experience more; however we might have forgotten the most important and most beautiful things in our lives. Very true indeed.

Pride and Prejudice:: simply and absolutely glorious


This movie is absolutely beautiful. The calmness of the country sceneries. The eleganceof their plain clothing. The fondness of mine towards their well-behaved manners. Last but not least, the romance. It is pure, simple, almost holy. JANE BENNET and MR BINGLEY represent the love at first sight so well that in my sigh I could not help but to wonder if such thing really exists. LIZZIE BENNET and MR DARCY. What can I say about them. The spark in between was almost instantly noticeable in their first encounter. The arrogance in DARCY, and the stubborness in both leading characters lead to their strong bonding, which only came tighter after all the misunderstandings and misjudgements.
The stories strengthens my belief in that every single person on the planet has their own soulmates. We will meet this person throughout our life. Whether or not we will spend the rest of our lives with him/her is a completely different issue. Some might say such statement is ridiculously naive but having a belief is better than pointlessly wandering in the path of life. If the person you love turns into history, why not take it as a sign that it's time to step forward and find or wait for the soulmate to come? Even if the partner in past tense was your soulmate, at least the happiness once existed right? Regret is not wise. Treasure the unforgettable moments deep down in your heart, because you are the only person who is able to taste it.


I should stop this ranting.

I HATE A-LEVEL!!

Last year, I failed.
This year, thousands of them failed...
Every year, in August, students in Hong Kong who took part in the A-Level exam will receive the result of whether they have an offer in university or not. In Hong Kong, the A-Level (Advance Level) Exam is a public exam for all local students to get into uni. However, it's really really hard and tough.....for every subjucts u hv to sit for 6 hrs per day.....n even u get all passed or even higher result, it doesn't guarantee that u'll hv a degree, many students have very satisfying result but still got no offer, what the hell is going on there??
The main reson is...too little uni quota and too much competition. There are 8 uni in Hong Kong and every year in average at least 60000 students took part in A-Level, only 10% of these students can have a place in university. Moreover, there are other competitors from Mainland China, Taiwan and other countries, local students therefore become so struggled.
And somehow, the education system is not fair enough. Why judge a student just by one exam? Many student pay money to learn the exam skills, they r not gd at academic but exam skills instead!! What a irony. And some of my fds r really clever n study hard but just accidentally sick or not performed well on the exam day. They therefore can't get into uni, sooooo unfair !! It's like wasting two years struggling for noting!! Really makes us desperate......
I hate public exam...I don't know there're how many students still hv to suffer under this old, stubborn, harsh education system, n i don't know if anyone gonna change the system. However if they continue to follow the step, what they trainned for the society are the mechanical students, but not the real talented, interactive one.
What a shame.
