True Love ?

总觉得无法把握爱情, 因为得把全部的精神专著于把握命运...还是我消极?

Human are visually attuned to beautiful things, even babies respond to beautiful people- babies will look at the person and smile.

I have been teaching in a secondary school for a month.
I get comments like,
"Teacher, you are pretty and nice, surely you have a boyfriend."
"Why didn't you get a boyfriend?"
"Teacher can't keep you company all the time, she would have a boyfriend."

They are truthful comments;
I could bear loneliness, but my heart had been broken, I don't think it will ever be entirely healed.
Every now and then, I do feel the pain in my heart, it is crying inside, though I knew it is getting better as time will heal the wounds.

What is true love ?
For couples who have successfully walked to the journey of marriage--is it out of convenience or just being used to each other?
What does it mean "meant for each other" ?
Is it possible to fall in love again without emotional baggages?
Is relationship an answer to happiness?
What is marriage?
For couples who have been together for a long time, do they take each other for granted and lose respect?
For a relationship to grow, does one need to have career stability?

To control my destiny, love becomes secondary. Am I pessimistic?
I still have my dreams to go after...in which I feel I am not the type to be rooted at one place. I still want to experience the world. I am prepared to uproot myself where ever my job goes. Job recognition gives me satistfaction and growth.

I guess I will leave it at this point and enjoy my life and stop pondering
...just SEIZE THE DAY -Carpe Diem :D

Free to Choose


Introduced by Milton Friedman...
In almost every case, giving individuals the power to choose, to set their own course, will lead to better results than centrally planned activity. That applies to schooling and every other activity in a modern society.

...and I agree :D

As I have seen both sides of Western and Eastern culture, I prefer to have a more open discussion and consultative approach with my students. I constantly reflect upon my belief, teachings and students' behaviour. Students feedback to me my approach leads them to be independent learners which I am glad to hear.

Fragrant Hills

I wanna animate how the plants would grow, how the cracks of the wall would appear and develop , how the TV would walk to its position and how the background colour would fill up the page from the bottom. All the events happen with a camera slowly revealing upwards.

This will keep me occupy for a while...hehe :D

希望我能把香山的植物延伸成长, 围墙的分裂也依依延伸, 电视机迈向中间, 背景的颜色填上, 再把镜头从底层慢慢地移到上层....就这样我的故事 :D

一个朋友看了我的插图, 感觉 : 哈哈......
画面让他感到一点凄凉,一丝喜悦,一点"坏笑".
淡淡之中有说不清的情绪, 也很有趣味.
会说话的叶子与嘻笑的电视好像在聊天.
裂纹;墙石,落花以及周围一切都在生长,都在蔓延,他们在同一时空,同一时间朝往天空,去向大地......
从画中可以看到可爱的生命, 灵动的攀爬.
感知现实与记忆在片刻中相遇便静止.
那片局部盛开,丰满的叶子就像每个人在生活中独自短暂的欢乐

...他把插图说得诗情画意...我的中文没那么棒, 不能这么描述...呵呵

今晚又失眠




学生跟我说: 过去就不要再想, 想着只会伤心.

..."what has been the past is the past, it is pointless to think over, the more you think, the sadder you become"...this is what one of the students told me.

Each of us has our own emotional baggage in life, it is hard to live like a mind of a 16 year old again...
sometimes I tried, trying to manage problems in a simplier way.

A chapter is closed and another chapter begins...I will bounce back like a ball again :D

还是喜欢北京多











回望我的2005, 那几个月...玩得真够拼命的

09月08至19日 : 北京
10月26至29日: 上海
11月 08至22日 : 台北


与一班朋友吃烧考, 回味无穷...呵呵

去了几个华人地方, 还是喜欢北京

喜欢北京舍么?
就喜欢北京的纯朴...

喜欢北京的公车...有人为乘客发票...感到温馨
喜欢望京楼下的菜市...这些面貌让我想起以前小时的生活.

那天,我一个人走着国子监街, 交道口...好多家小店, 好多东西看,目不暇接...我回来后, 觉得新加坡的购物已不能吸引我...太现代,太整齐,太商业了...我都不想逛街了

北京首次让我感到我是华人... 感受到华人文化的悠久, 大概是个古城的关系吧!

我还在寻找我的方向...认识我的人觉得我的情绪易变...
我不想对生命留白, 所以一直在寻求新的事物来满足我的好奇心...
