A real start

Finally, everything at BCIT is done.

Program = finished
Industry Night = finished
Gift preparation = finished

Because I was so busy planning Industry Night, did not have time to organize my presentation. At the end, I gave up, and did not present at all.

I felt relieved after deciding; however, when I saw so many people talking, proudly presenting their work, I quietly tell myself “it’s OK.”

I wanted to present, ever since last year when I attended, I wanted to be part of it very much. However, I guess nothing is perfect. We organized it very well, we ran the show whole night, and we were very successful at bringing many companies in.

I’m glad that everything is done. Don’t know when I will graduate again, but my reason for organizing Industry Night has come true. I wanted this to be a fantastic night, bringing lots of people, and see others happily showcasing. We succeeded.

Thanks to many many people. I would not have done this without all of your help.

From starting with only me standing firm, to later getting everyone involved, and helping out, I feel proud of being part of you. Even though I did not get a chance to present my work, I was so happy to photograph you, to put you in the perfect position, and to record the moments.

Thanks to Sholeh, for many many times, I felt down and you spent your precious time to comfort me, and bring me up again. You are always there when I’m getting too much on my own shoulder, and getting me to “unload” a little bit. Thank you, I would not have come this far without your support, and every time you remind me of how special I am.

Thanks to Sam. Your horoscope readings, your music, and your offer to help. You are one of the people I can trust no matter what, and thank you for standing by my side all the time.

Thanks to many others, your messages, your words, I keep them in my mind, and will always push me forward.

Officially, I’m done with school.

Officially, I need to start a new journey.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

Good luck, everyone!

I’ll miss you all, or I should say, I’m already missing you.

The knot

Never been so close, and will never miss so much.

Today, after finishing 2 final presentations, 1 print portfolio, 2 worksheets…  leaving me 3 hours of sleep last night (or this morning), and waking up 3 times thinking about portfolio…

After the final class, everyone cheered, and many went to the pub.  I have to admit that when I don’t have much to talk about, I work; however, somehow, it was very very peaceful working around them, hearing them laughing and chatting.

Maybe I’m just tired, but I feel sad when I say “bye”, I had hard time to talk to Melody when I was in her car, because I want to cry.  I still want to see them every day, still want to hear them joke around, still wanna be there at 9 in the morning, and say: “hey, who’s not here today?”

Suddenly, we’re all not gonna be there.

This is my first time feeling this ever since I came to Canada.  High school, university, nothing… But not this time…  They are the people I stayed with for the last 362 days and at least 8 hours a day.

Guys, I miss you already…

Keep in touch, and best of luck!

And, we made it. =)

Almost there…

October 07, 2007, this is the date I started New Media Design & Web Development at BCIT.

October 06, 2008, this is the date I will finish this program.

One whole year, I’ve been working hard most of the time (of course, I do slack off from time to time), and even myself was surprised at the level of focus and persistence I had over the past 12 months.

I’ve always want to participate in something else other than school, always spend more time on events than study, and always not care much about the percentage even though I do get good grades. However, since I enter the program, because it’s so heavily loaded, the only thing in my mind has been achieving good grades and using the skills I learn in school.

We complained, we cried, we laughed, and we worked.  Now, we’re almost there.

10 days till graduation, 10 days till we apart…

I’ve never worked this close with any other group in my life.  Even though I do not talk much, I thank them for giving me so much encouragement and happiness.

Working with you guys, makes me seeing just one goal: to exel.

We will apart soon, and I will miss you guys.  =)

The days with apples

Last summer, we moved to Burnaby, because my parents would like to have a bigger house.  So, we moved, and my parents were very excited that we have a huge apple tree in our new backyard.

Days go by, and suddenly, the apples start to fall from the tree.  During the summer, my parents and sister were busy with picking apples and giving out vegetables grown in the front and back of our house.  First couple weeks, we were all excited and happy that we’re eating food from the backyard.  Then after that, we become a bit miserable, and my dad started going out shopping for vegetables.

I think my mom is the coolest person in the house.  No matter how much we complain and whine, every day she makes apple juice for every person in the house, because we are so sick at biting apples.  She mixes milk or carrots with the apples, and makes us guess what she used today, though it was VERY obvious since it’s pink with carrots.  My sister said to my mom tonight: “Mom, it’s that we have to finish those apples, it’s not that I like to eat apples or drink apple juice.”

Mom said: “It’s good for you.” So now, here I am, with another huge cup of apple juice in my hands.  Gotta finish it before it turns brown, argh!

Elle18，安慰女孩的五步驟/九把刀

上個禮拜跟死黨在阿和家打麻將的時候，無法專心打牌的阿

和正跟女友吵很大。看著阿和不斷被掛電話，我們聊起彼此跟女友吵架的經驗。

這輩子剛交女友不到三個月的老曹，顯然無法加入我們的話題，他欠揍地說：「我跟她還沒吵過架。」

我冷笑：「你現在整天都想做色色的事，當然沒架可吵。」

該邊引述每一本戀愛勵志書都會提到的觀念：「其實男女之間吵架，並沒有誰對誰錯。」

我冷笑：「那句話一定出自女生的嘴巴。事情當然有對有錯，只是看要不要計較罷了。」

阿和在百忙中不忘同意，狠狠說：「對！只是不想計較！」

整晚的麻將就在男女吵架的話題中度過。

重點是，我們都勸阿和無論如何都要低聲下氣跟女友道歉，畢竟啊，反正這件事阿和最後無論如何還是得做，不如早點五體投地說對不起，架也可以提早收工。

隔天，阿和就卑賤地展開了和好之旅，害我們第二天的麻將三缺一。

戀愛沒有真理。

但我得強調有一句話非常接近真理——

如果兩個人剛剛在一起不久，吵架是感情增溫的徵兆。

兩個人不管如何喜歡對方，成長的歷程不可能全然相同（兄妹戀不在我們的討論範圍啊），習慣、品味、愛憎都有差異。才剛剛在一起，熱戀啊，一定會特別珍惜對方的感受，都馬盡可能地容忍對方跟自己的歧異，不敢、也不想吵架。

得過且過，或乾脆裝瞎。

相處久了，若一直容忍下去都不爆發，我看只會精神分裂。

不精神分裂，也會很悶很悶。期中考念的都沒考出來已經夠悶的了、老闆發現你一邊上班一邊偷用msn已經夠悶的了，談個戀愛幹麼搞得自己那麼悶呢！

要是「終於願意」吵個架，大概是雙方都覺得兩人的感情已經具備「來吵個架吧！」的基礎，覺得「激烈碰撞一下也不至於分手吧」！

例如。

「你說！為什麼我變身成林志玲你才肯跟我上床呢！」魔形女咬牙切齒。

「妳為什麼老是在做愛的時候，還叫我戴面具！」蝙蝠俠大吼。

「克拉克！你非得一邊拯救地球一邊跟我講手機嗎！」露易絲怒了。

「你幹麼在跟我做愛的時候生氣？我這樣很痛！」浩克的女友哭訴。

只不過，我的情況又更複雜了點。

我大小內九歲，又在創作的領域有點成績，不管是年紀或社會地位都頗有差距——但把這兩個距離放在戀愛的領域，這些差距可以當作是相處上有趣的點，卻絕對不想成為讓彼此無法靠近的斥力。

我很怕，小內對我有所埋怨時，只敢把氣往肚子裡吞。

還記得小內第一次在捷運站對我擺臉色的時候，我心中竟是大呼一聲：「YES！」

但女孩生氣生習慣了，再可愛也有限啊！有很長一段時間，我真懷念小內對我百依百順的短短兩個禮拜（望向遠方）。

我從不矯情地認為，吵架對兩人的關係有正面的幫助。喂，可以一邊親小內一邊討論事情，我絕對不想用吵架的方式解決問題——因為好煩啊！問題也常常不會解決啊！！

於是我們約定好，不管吵多大的架，一個小時一定要和好。

「對不起，是我不好。」十次有九，是我先開口。我太沒耐性。

「把逼，對不起，你不要生氣了好嗎？」小內只要一開口，我絕對照單全收。

這個強制停火協議，大概是我們所有甜蜜約定裡「最有用」的吧。

吵什麼，常常不重要。

再怎麼耍任性、再怎麼冷戰、再怎麼烙狠話，保存期限統統不會超過一個小時。畢竟我們在一起不是為了整天評比誰對誰錯，沒有什麼比快快樂樂說我愛妳還要重要。

以下提供一個求和家庭常備急救箱，跟一帖快速絕倫的快樂特效藥。

星爺泡麵，有「吹含吸舔扣」五大步驟，安慰小內也有「拍摸親笑抱」五大要訣，缺一不可。

拍，就是有節奏地輕拍小內的背。

摸，就是溫柔地摸摸她的頭。

親，當然就是將她的臉上的眼淚親掉，沒眼淚的話就親到她嫌我口水髒為止。

笑，一直笑最重要，因為我就是靠著「我笑妳就笑」這五個字追到小內的。

抱，快和好的時候要快點抱抱，最好是抱到小內都快喘不過氣求我放開她。

基本上，只要有條不紊地執行這五大步驟，被我氣壞了的小內就會慢慢冷靜下來，說：「過來，我要咬你。」

「……好。」我只好將袖子捲起來，讓小內咬到氣消為止。

有一次不曉得在吵什麼東西（吵架的原因我大多記不起來，因為情侶吵架的原因幾乎非常無聊！），我忘了施展這五大絕技，小內還是處在火山爆發的情緒裡，一直推開我的抱。

大家都說九把刀很神，難道是說假的嗎！

「小內，不然我們來划龍舟好了！」我突然大叫，兩隻手做出划槳狀：「快！」

「什麼鬼啊！」小內呆住。

「划龍舟啊！嘿咻！嘿咻！嘿咻！」我全神貫注划起龍舟，身體前後搖擺。

「……」小內表情古怪：「你幹麼在我生氣的時候划龍舟啊！」

這時候正是生死存亡的關鍵，道歉的話就前功盡棄了！

我揮汗如雨，焦急地大叫：「快！快點奪旗啊！」

「奪什麼旗啊？」

「那你先幫我划，我來奪旗！」

「什麼啦！」她莫名其妙著急起來。

「快！換手！」

我大叫，小內只好被迫做出划槳的動作。

我趕緊往前曲張身體，一把「拔下」終點線的旗子。

那一瞬間，小內終於哈哈大笑，笑得前俯後仰，笑得眼淚都流出來了。

This is a Chinese story, and when I have time next week, I will translate it.

It touches me so much that I would like to post it here.

I like it…

My Inspiration of the day

This is the making of making of Ayumi Hamasaki underwear ad for Wacoal.

Haha, short but sweet.  I want to be like her (the photographer)!

I really enjoy photography! =)

Busy, eh?

Wow, few more weeks and I’m graduating!

Everything is going well recently, even though still tons to-do’s and deadlines.  I enjoy being busy (most of the time), and being challenged with many different things.  Things I have in hand currently to keep me busy:

• Internship
• Industry Night
• Family
• Lineage II
• School

Quite a bit, haha, but I’m coming through. =)

Thanks to Sam for explaining so much astrology to me tonight, you made my night, haha! ^^ Glad to know I’m a very pure Aquarius. XD

As you say, the environment makes one unique.  So, be happy and optimistic~ (give you some free-flow fire)~

the Best

With one, you work with your best.

With two, you work to exceed your best.
Tiring, but let’s see the result soon.

Phone call.

Just finished a phone call with an old friend (oops, she wouldn’t like to be called “old” XD).

Set the time for our group gathering and another date, since we haven’t seen each other since June.

In the group, there are five girls, and we’ve known each other since early high school.  After so many years, all of us have our own jobs and school, and we see each other about four times a year (birthdays usually).

This is the first time that they set the gathering time according to my schedule, because of my days are filled with work and school.  ^^” But yeah, we’re going to Joe Fortes Monday night.

Happy.
