Something good happened recently and it makes me sort of happy.

Hope that it will not end like last time.

 

How did it end last time?

Actually, i dont even know.

It didnt end very definately.
It just paused.

 

Will this time be somehow different?

That's what I am hoping for.

The cool evenings are sort of relaxing. I have my windows opened with the mosqitoe nets down for some nights.

Definately better than having air-conditioning. ^^

Love

Something happened today and I was involved in it. (Why the hack was I on the playground??) Some students were arguing for something which meant to be minor. Maybe in my point of view it was.

 

Anyway, anger and rage overwhelmed their minds. One of the boys got irrational because his girlfriend was involved. He wasn’t at the scene and he heard what had happened from his girlfriend and another girl.

He wasn’t calm and he couldn’t think logically. He even got angry with me. I didn’t punish anyone right at the spot. It is meaningless in doing so because they weren’t thinking right. I asked them to go home to think about the questions I gave them. They will have to see me tomorrow. I am sure they will NOT even remember what I told them… …

 

I always think it is a blessing for a woman to have a man who can be irrational for her because the woman is profoundly loved by the man. But if the man becomes arrogant and ridiculous, this is not a man a woman will like.

(More like I am looking at it in a woman’s perspective and maybe I am wrong. ^^)

 

Trust

“You are the teacher I can trust most and you are not helping me!”

We talk sometimes and I am glad that you find me trustworthy. But this doesn’t mean that I have to be on your side. I am not condemning anyone here. I only want to make things fair for everyone. And now you are saying I am not fair. The wrong-doer will pay for what he has done but it will only be when things are clear.

 

Trust cannot be abused. I trust most people but I am not blind. I trust that most of my friends can be rational and logical. But blindly asking those you trust to be on your side would not be the way to solve problems.

 

Think carefully, trust is formed when you can deeply believe in someone.

Someone who can comfort you when you are sad

Someone who can encourage you to become better in person

Someone who can correct you when you are wrong

That’s what I called “trust”.

went to the dentist today... ... shocking news T.T
have to spend lots on fixing my teeth.

wanna do some part time jobs to cover the expenses.

anyone got any job offers??

let me know~~~~

 

 I read a short article lately in one of the seminars we had. It was about a foreign woman who got married into a Chinese family in China in the old days. Different countries have different customs and sometimes it is true to say an individual should adjust himself/herself to fit into the local culture instead of asking everyone around to do the opposite.

It seems to be reasonable asking the foreign wife to give morning tea to her mother-in-law with her keens down if she wanted to fit into the family. We, Chinese, think this is ‘respect’, right. Of course, this would only happen in the old days. People are now more ‘modernised’. I am not saying Confucianism isn’t important in the present days. Confucianism is the framework of our Chinese morality. We just need to be more selective, i guess. 

Do we still need to have our keens down when giving morning tea to our parents in the morning?

I guess no.

 

What about the saying ‘夫母在堂不遠遊’ (No travelling when your parents are still alive)? People now go every where, like myself. I had been to so many places outside Hong Kong. Does it mean I am not a good son? Does it mean I don’t respect my family and our cultural belief?

(note: my parents are very healthy ^^)

There are many other ways we can show our respect and appreciation towards our parents and senior members in the family.

 

An article saying ‘中國人有包容的心(??)’

Just want to make the meaning clear before proceeding. 包容= to forgive / to tolerate, right? Can I also say ‘generous’ (寬宏大量的)?

Referring to what someone told me earlier on. In the old days, I think a man having more than one wife couldn’t be said having a generous heart. You could say the wives were generous because they could accept sharing their husband with other women. Deep down in their hearts, it would more like be ‘to succumb to the power of men’ because women had no say in the old days.

 

What about now?

Do you think women now can share their husbands with other women?

Do you think they can still be ‘generous’ knowing that their husbands are sleeping with some other women they don’t know?

 

Also, I thought it was abit nonsense when I was looking at this heading. With so many negative news reports, what could I say?

 

Beating innocent people to death?

(What did they do that they deserved to be killed?)

 

Killing innocent people in the name of ‘justice’?

(You had a gun, so you were ‘justice’?)

 

What about the CCP?

(broken glasses?)

 

What about the Great Cultural Revolution?

(鬥﹑批﹑改?)

 

What about 4^th June?

(Tanks? Students? Blood? Tears? Terror? Torture? Murder?)

 

I don’t know. I don’t really know.

I am still proud because I am Chinese. I have Chinese blood.

But I know what happened in the past that we should not forget.

I know what is going on now that needs our concern.

 

(只是有感而發 ^^)

 

my stomach... ... =_=lll

 

i played a uno game at my friend's place at night after having dinner there. the loser of each game had to eat a biscuit with wasabi on it.

i wasnt the loser but i had one anyway. i regreted it much now. T.T

 

my stomach... ... T.T

my friend bought the tube of wasabi from japan..... and it is pretty strong.

 

i will say no next time. .... ..

 

They came back today.

Good to see everyone again. ^^

I went cycling today. The weather was really good... ... so good that I think I have sun burn. My face and arms are red now and i think they will become itchy tmr.

 

I went cycling with a friend of mine in Tai Wai. We started from Tai Wai, rode to Ma On Shan then back to Tai Wai.

I guess it was a good day for going out.

 

My duties for next academic year have almost been mapped out, I guess. I'll only have 6B and 7B (as discussed) and some duties with the EMB.

I hate going out to meetings but if this is what i have to do then i will do it. I will probably need to go to gym again or buy a sand bag.

I think i will need to turn my anger and stress into power and run the hell out of me.

 

I foresee my emotional status  for next academic year as "AGGRESSIVE"!!

Pray for yourselves.
