Babel...

Darn, haven’t updated for like forever… (but I did update my other journal!)

It rained today… just after I was complaining that it haven’t rained for like forever yesterday when it was so darn hot. Was looking out of the bus window this morning and the skies were so black… not a spot of white and one would even think it’s still night… reminded me of the “end of the days” Hollywood movies… it was so going to rain.. .. ha. And when it did, its literally torrents. Actually quite enjoyed it as I was all safe and dry in school when it rained :p

Been out of school for the afternoons the past few days for oral (ha, it does sound kinda dirty when I say that as Nick pointed out the other day) Its kinda interesting and occasionally funny, been entertaining my mom and friends with oral anecdotes the past few days which masked the boring bits when I kept wanting the fall asleep while the kids droned on and on in front of me.

But it came at a really bad time (is there ever a good time?)… with the speech day coming up and wushu training mounting and the Beijing exchange school people coming this Saturday… I’m supposed to call all the sights we are to visit and arrange for the tours (feel like a tour agency) but I keep not been able to do that as when I get home from oral, the offices are already closed. And all that not including the actual teaching work and lesson preparations. Already am not been able to give my class homework this weekend coz I don’t have time to finish marking their books (can imagine them jumping for joy and praising oral to the heavens). Well, they had double last weekend anyway.

Am exceedingly tired also becoz I had a couple of late nights. Went for The Dresser on Tuesday. It was a pretty good play, there’s a lot of meat in it. Am starting to really like Adrian Pang… didn’t really take him seriously before with only seeing his comic roles on tv. But he’s a wonderful actor… his accent is amazing. And Wed was my second spins class. Am so going to miss Vince when he’s gone. And he’s going for two years! When he comes back, I’ll probably be juz weeks away from leaving for the states too. Darn Darn double darn. Thinking of trying a new jazz class somewhere… either the dance school opposite my place or this jazz school my brother is going to with a really funny name O.

Well, good news would be that I got a new cellphone. It’s a early anniversary pressie from P coz my old one’s keypad isn’t working. It was a horror to sms on and people probably found it weird (or as jx said, very character) to receive smses from me with zero spaces and only Caps to tell each word from each other. LikeThis. But I do miss my old phone… it was a 2nd anniversary pressie from P as well and I planned to use it forever and forever or at least until it broke apart… Still, I do like this new one. It comes with a camera (not a very good one but still usable) and I like being able to take shots whenever I see anything pretty… except I still can’t download the photos… apparently I need a CA-42 cable which somehow costs 88 bucks. Why does a cable cost 88 bucks when my cell only costs 168 bucks?!?! That’s like half the price of the phone. I so cannot understand.

Well.. tmr’s going to be somewhat of a treat with no oral, a short and hopefully interesting seminar and then will be going for my monthly pedicure. Will be trying a new pedicurist. And then its my weekly Friday dancing!

And that’s the end of this really boring babel…. (ha, from my translation class! I actually saw my favorite class from last year today for translation… am quite happy… but they feel different… not as sweet as last year… well… kids grow up….so sad….)

《天…使我爱你》


好久没看到这么一部让我流那么多泪水的戏了。《天…使我爱你》。

很喜欢开始的部分,信和小悦的爱情,那么的单纯,那么的甜蜜。信确实很呆,打扮也好土,一般女孩子,在看到自己被配到一个那么土气的男生照顾,一定很失望吧。但小悦却看到了那外表下的一颗真心。所以,她拥有了一个天使。

那么简单的恋情。雨天的伞,感冒时的感冒药。小女生的撒娇,小男生的呆气,面对女生的脾气时木讷得好好笑。那么让人会心,那么让人心疼。却是那么的梦幻,梦幻得让我们知道,是无法长久的。

真的不认同信的做法。无论带着多么深的祝福,亲手把自己的最爱推给别人,仍旧是残酷的。对自己残酷,对所爱的人残酷。

结局的多变是个败笔,大概连编剧也不知该如何结束,所以就什么都放进去了。但无论如何,仍是一部我喜欢的片子。

尤其喜欢编剧抄自《榭寄生》的那一句话,无论你在那里,我只离你一个转身的距离。

Guardian Angel,都是离我们这样远吧。只是一个转身的距离,但我们一转身,就看不到,因为,他已到我们身后守护我们了。
