Goody from the Oldie

Like usual, on the exam day, I normally do not concentrating on studying for the exam, but browsing around the webpages. So I suddenly went to a site which it was about Jacky Cheung, a Hongkong singer, won an award in a ceremony.

He gave a brief talk on the stage and he said something that I think it is meaningful:

“It is inevitable that one day you will turn out to be a “past-tense”, so while you are still young you shall strive for excellence.”
Oh I should give a brief story about Jacky Cheung. Jack Cheung is a well-known singer from Hongkong and he is known for one of the Cantopop Hong Kong Heavenly Kings in the 1980s and 1990s.

His extremely unique vocal has won numerous applause from Hongkong and Asia (My dad is also one of them lol)
Anyway, enough for his fame and success. After that, I spent entire day checking out his songs in youtube and I am absobloodylutely attracted by his unique vocal.

This is the one that I was listening the entire day lol

張學友 - 離開以後 (Jack Cheung - Leaving After)

今天像平時一樣,在考試日的時候我通常都不會超努力的讀書,反而我會上網看一看東西。在上網的時候突然之間我去了一個關於香港歌手張學友在某一個典禮中得獎的網站。

他在台上講了一些我覺得意思蠻深遠的話。

「每一個人都會有成為過去的一天,所以你在還年青有為的時候能夠幹一番事業成就來方可以在社會上留存百世。」

(我想大部分華人應該知道張學友是誰,所以我在這裡不是詳細的講他的背景。)

雖然我現在還在過著大學生活,但事實上距離要在社會上工作的生活的時間真的不多耶
(也許都是轉眼間而已)。在社會上打抨幾個十年後就會到張學友現在的年紀啦(那時張學友也差不多會變成人瑞啦)。

P.S. To people who are still have exams remaining (including me lol), good luck and wish you all the best!

Current Mood could Change your Intended Flavours. 現在的心情會影響你的口味。

Most of time I am not really a modern-romance-genre fanatic because they tend to have same plot and same ending.

However, today I intend to share some of my personal response regarding to a Taiwanese film that I watched yesterday called "The Fierce Wife". There is one scene nearly in the beginning of the film linking to what I want to share today.

So there was one scene when Jane (Sonia Sui) and Weber (Chris Wang) went to a bakery shop, Weber intended to buy a mini birthday cake for Jane. 

At this moment, Jane told Weber that "Current Mood could Change Intended Flavours". 

For example, when you feel happy, you feel like strawberry flavour; when you feel sad, you feel like chocolate flavour; when you are in a good mood (good mood doesn't necessary means happiness), you feel like Matcha; when you are busy, you feel like chestnut flavour.

Guess what flavour of mini birthday cake did Weber buy to Jane? Of course Strawberry, because birthday should be a happy thing (right?).

But I guess the above-mentioned ideas could only apply to girls because cake or dessert is always the best complement to your current mood.

In contrast, as for guys, I think guys tend to do stuffs to show their current mood.

For me, when I feel happy, I want to go for walk under the sun or go to a movie or concert; when I feel sad, I want to go jogging or swimming in the gym; when I feel busy, I stay in the library and eat cookies to keep me awake from boredom LOL

P.S. I use to think that married/divorced women aren't as attractive as the younger women because they tend to be a bit older and child-oriented; however, after watching this film, I found out that married/divorced women could still remain attractive and still get chased by numerous men. 

很多時我不是一個現代愛情電影的愛好者因為現在的現代愛情電影很多時都有相似的故事情節和結尾。
不過今天我想分享一部叫「犀利人妻」電影版的個人感想。電影的其中一個差不多在開頭的情節聯繫到我今天想講的東西。

其中一個情節在講關於謝安真(隋棠飾)和藍天蔚(宥勝飾)去了一個蛋糕店。藍天蔚想去買一個迷你蛋糕給謝安真。

突然之間謝安真跟藍天蔚說你現在的心情會影響你現在想要的口味。
比如說,開心的心情令你想要士多啤梨(草莓)的口味;不開心的心情令你想要朱古力的口味;好的心情(好的心情不一定是開心的心情)令你想要抹茶的口味;忙碌的時候令你想要粟子的口味。
猜一下藍天蔚買了什麼口味給謝安真?當然時草莓味吧!因為生日本來就是一件開心的事情耶(是不是?)。

但是我想以上的東西女生們才會去做因為蛋糕是現在心情的最佳配對物阿。

相反,男生們的話通常都會以實際行動來表達他們現在的心情。

我開心的時候我會想在有陽光的一天出去散步或者是看電影或者演場會;不開心的時候我會去跑步或者是游泳;忙碌的時候我當然會留在圖書館啦!

後記:以前我覺得已經結婚或者是已經離婚的女生比較不正因為他們都是有一點老加上很多時他們都會以小孩子為中心;但是,看了這個電影之後啦我發現已經結婚或者是已經離婚的女生其實還是可以保持美麗和仍然會有很多男生的追求。

Commonness's Uncommonness. 平凡中帶點不平凡

I found something compelling these days because I was talking to one of my guy’s friends about Chongqing girls.

So my friend met a Chongqing girl in his Psychology class. He told me that he could tell that girl is from Chongqing, China. It is because girls from Chongqing girls tend to have very white skin tone comparing with girls from other provinces.

Because of this, I start doing some research about girls in Chongqing (That doesn’t mean I’m a person who is so into girls. I just simply want to know more about China.)

As described by a blog,
“http://blog.xuite.net/ab120220/peterwu/23670881-初訪重慶”
it seems that the reason why Chongqing girls have relatively whiter skin is that they always eat something extremely spicy (Girls, this could be a secret recipe of getting whiter skin lol).

It is understandable that almost every single man and woman would love to find a person who is good-looking to be their forever lover and forever spouse subsequently. I often see good-looking couples around the campus; however, I also see a good-looking partner with a not-so-good-looking partner around the campus as well.

People may ask, what so good about not-so-good-looking persons, in other words, the regular persons?

To me, it is impossible that every single person in the world is handsome or gorgeous, hence some person may not choose their lover(s)/spouse(s) based on their appearance, but something else, like characteristics, wealthiness, family background and so forth.

I have friends who are eager to find a good-looking lover to make their life more colourful and sweeter. In contrast, I rather spend time watching hilarious video clips than doing what my friends are doing right now.

Last but not least, I rather spend time finding the uncommon one amongst the common ones because they are rare that I need to spend to find. Wouldn’t be more meaningful to do so?

最近我發現一些有趣的東西因為我跟我的男生朋友在講關於重慶的女生。

今個學期我的男生朋友在心理學課裡面認識了一位重慶的女生。我的朋友說他一看就知道那位女生是重慶人因為跟其他省份的女生比較,重慶的女生的皮膚比較白。

因為我對中國的文化不是那麼了解,我開始去上網做一些資料搜集(我不是想透過資料搜集來表現自己對女生有多大的興趣,我只是想知道關於中國的任何東西而已)。

根據網上的一個部落格,
“http://blog.xuite.net/ab120220/peterwu/23670881-初訪重慶”
似乎重慶女生皮膚白的原因是因為他們常常都吃辣(女生們,這個可能是是皮膚變白的其中一個方法阿)。

我很明白到幾乎所有男生女生都想找一個帥哥正妹去變成他們的情侶。很多時候我總會在學校裡面看到一些俊男美女的情侶,但是我也看到一個好看的人搭上一個看起來平平無奇的伴侶。

有一些人會問:「看起來平平無奇人有什麼好?」

我覺得每一個都是俊男美女是一個不可能發生的,所以有一些人的擇偶條件不是根據他們好不好看,而是其他的東西,比如說性格,財富,家庭背景等。

我有一些朋友,他們渴望找到一個好看的伴侶,好讓他們的生活可以更加多姿多采。相反,我寧願自己去看一些好笑的影片來娛樂自己。

加上我寧願花時間尋找平凡中帶點的不平凡因為他們往往都最超罕有的。尋找平凡中帶點的不平凡不是更有意義嗎?

Spring Break

Recently I was completely weighed down by the stress of exams. I don't even have time to travel around the states with friends but to stay in Buffalo and study in the library during spring break. My only daily entertainment is to watch basketball game(sigh).

These days it's understandable that there's only a few students in the library. Most of them are seemed to be science-major-related. I feel very bored that whenever I have to go to toilet I would peep at the students and see what are they doing and what books are they reading.

I really want to go to gym and start working out after finishing all the exams by Thursday.

最近考試壓力真的很大,放春假時根本沒有時間跟朋友去旅行,唯有獨自留在仍然超冷的Buffalo每天都去圖書館裡面讀書。每天的唯一娛樂就是在晚上看一看籃球比賽來輕鬆一下。

圖書館的氣氛當然沒有平時那麼熱烈。大概只有數十多位學生在讀書,當中理科學生佔大多數。每一天要讀書的生活真的很悶,悶到要去廁所的時候會偷望別人在幹什麼,在看什麼書本等。

這個禮拜四考完之後真的很想開始去做gym改善身形。

Simplicity or Complexity

As you know, nowadays people have such a busy life.

Like me, as a college student, aside from academic "issues", I have to facebook, tweet, blog,line, whatsapp, skype and other things to keep in touch with people around me.


I have to say I like living in this kind of life but have a deeper thought, why not living in a simpler life?

In other words, writing letters and dairies instead of doing all those above-mentioned junks?

Hmm...on top of that, it is no doubt that today's people, particularly people representing the new generation, like listening music in any occasion.

It is not hard to enjoy music. People could simply download music online (for free); but is this how you enjoy music? 

Some people like me will choose the complex way, like attending a music concert to show their full appreciation to the singer/band, composer and other people who involved in creating music.

Isn't hard to choose whether living in a simple way or complex way?

It is simply a strange yet complex thought in my head.

P.S. I am going to ditch tomorrow night's class and attend Passion Pit's live concert.

Discomfort



Several days ago, I took part in Hong Kong Student Association's first GIM because I really wanted to reduce stress from school (I had 5 classes to attend that day!!).

At first, I feel a bit uncomfortable frankly because I have been hanging out with people from other nationalities for several years and I do not get used to be surrounded by a group of Hongkongese people.

Perhaps that is the reason why I feel like Hong Kong is no longer my hometown, but a place that I used to love and live. 

I feel more comfortable meeting and hanging out with non-Hongkongese people. Soon or later, I met two younger-than-me girls in the meeting. They are from Malaysia and China. To my surprise, the Malaysian girl could speak Cantonese language! (Coolness) 

Since two of them and my friend are able to speak Chinese language, I took this chance to show off (well I mean practise a bit lol) my Mandarin language skills. 

I think I am not going to attend any meeting hosted by HKSA anymore because to be honest they were playing orange-banana-what-so-ever game in the first meeting, which is ridiculously uninteresting. 

(Sigh)

1st Week

The first week of school finally comes to the end. Frankly, i don’t get used to go to class on Friday because Friday is always a holiday to me; but anyway, unlike last semester, this semester all my courses are totally exam-oriented (I guess it is a good thing).

Well…the first week just swung by, I didn’t really have a chance of meeting a lot of new friends; instead, I hang out with my old buddies that I have met since last semester. Perhaps I should start to engage more in SAs’ activities and events this semester.

Hmm…well I guess that’s about it cos there is really nothing much to say about my first week of school cos all the teachers just simply gave us a syllabus-related lecture.

Oh yeah by the way, I have booked the flight ticket to go back to Hong Kong this summer. It’s time to go back home and experience some heat lol alrighty that’s about it!! Bye!!
