| It's been another while since I have updated. Many things happened, good and bad.....
Today, it was a rainy day and after going to the chiropractor in the morning and having lunch, went to do St John Ambulance stuff. On paper, we just had to inventory any supplies that is non first aid related, then purchase supplies from Canadian Tire. Furthermore, change the flat tires on the gator. On paper is one thing, eventually, due to the rain and many complications, we started around 2 and didn't leave until 7......... Well, the result was:
1) I was rain soaked and had a wet behind
2) I felt a devotion to SJA...hahaha 
3) I was shocked,  literally, as I was changing the battery..... (my thumb hurt and I felt a small buzz in my head...)
4) I think I got sun burned (from NO sun, rain clouds all the way and raining!!!)   ....now my face is red! Probably burned....
Someone picked the following song from karaoke yesterday, and so I kept listening to it today for a long while....
仍是老地方
李克勤
冷雨扑向我的肩
串串细雨似利剑
茫然前行迷雾里
忧郁灯光照映我面
爱侣擦过我身边
悄悄细雨伞内里
孤单街灯凝视我
心中翻起你的俏面
昨天温馨光阴愿重现
记否日夜静候在这花店
但是已远走情聚变带走温暖
景况依然仍然默默独自
雨里这花店等候
无言静候你却远去永不再出现
垂头默念以往甜言蜜语共温柔
(你可知否)
我心伤透抛去雨褛我身尽管湿透
我心伤透抛我远走

| - 天有不測之風雲﹐ 一時好天但轉眼間就雷電交加。人的感覺亦是一樣。 I went to visit some friends who are paddling today at a dragonboat race held at the Mississauga Canoe Club. When we got there, it was a nice sunny day with a slight breeze. The temperature was around 20C, it was perfect. We got there, found where my friends were camping and then I started to comment on how nice the weather is today. Then 5 minutes later, I hear a loud rumbling sound coming from the direction of the lake. Ten minutes later, we saw a dark cloud approach us and within 15 to 20 minutes, it was pouring with thunder and lightning..... I don't know if I "jinxed" it, but well, the weather was no long nice anymore. The rain/ thunder/ lightning were on and off for the rest of the day, sometimes heavy, sometime light. This reminded me of how one feels sometimes when many thoughts are crossing their minds..... I recently heard from a friend that he got results from a "test" that we both did (at different sittings), and he passed. He was able to proceed forward to the next phase. I felt and still feel excited and happy for him. However, I didn't think much of it as I still had at least 2 weeks before I should hear anything back. However, these last two days, I went onto a forum and saw some postings. They were nothing much significant but I began to worry. I knew that I didn't do that well in 2 of the 5 parts, but at the same time I knew I had a chance. Therefore, I expected defeat but was still unsure of how I will react. This is the strange and rather nerve wrecking feeling. Regardless, all I can do now is wait. But the storm that has been on and off for the day kept reminding me of my time back home and this test......... 只有等...... 望著窗外雨點﹐忽然想起香港。 | | |
| "Time Flies", a very common expression that people mutter when they realize how much time has passed since a certain reference date.... It has been almost a year since I last updated. I don't know what drove me back to Xanga, but I did. I also read my best friend's pages and notice that none of them have updated since last year as well. Time flies... I am writing this at night because I had always considered myself a night person. Eversince highschool, I had found that I think the clearest and had done my best work at night, usually late at night. I did and still do like to sleep but I used to be able to get by with a few hours. As I got older, my sleep requirment also proportionally increased. Regardless, I had found that night time is a good time for reflection and contemplation. There were (and still are) a lot of things that I reflect upon at night. Most of these were problems and pressures from various facets of my life, but there are also the happy moments. Most recently, I have gone back to HK twice to take care of some "personal matter". This has been really important for me as I took a step towards my dream. Regardless of the results, I have tried, and I should have no regrets. If I really want it, I will continue to pursue. As Dr. Randy Pausch said in his book and lecture, "brickwalls are there for a reason, to test how much we want it (dream)"; therefore, I will try to conquer as many walls as possible. I have to do it before time flies by too quickly. I guess I will update this much for now. I will update later with more information about the missing year that has passed. Stay tuned! | | |
| Sometimes I wonder if fate or pre-determined destiny really exists or is it just a big coincident.... Today is my last day at the current job....while I was trying to look for my sunglasses clip, I came upon something from my sportsbag that I hadn't seen in years (2 to be exact)....my Iron Ring. Isn't it coincidental that just a week before my new engineering related job, I re-discover my Iron Ring. I have been looking all over for it in my bag since I lost it two years ago. I have also used the bag since, but it didn't turn up. Then, just sitting right infront of me this morning, my ring........ I am speechless..... | | |
| Another season of FA competition practice has commenced. Last night we had out first meeting. As usual, my team partner, Shirley and my coach, Johnson and I have a special way of communication among us... While the DTO is chatting with the other team, setting up all the practices from now til November (CRAZINESSS), S, J and I (SJA...woohooo) were chatting up on how to build Group Dynamics through "practices" in a constructive, tastebud stimulating environment. We have set up TWO "practices" already, and I can't wait......hahaha After that, we were just having fun joking around, SJ were beaming games to each other on their palm, while the other groups are still chatting away..... They have decided that Pat's team will practice every Weds night starting next week. Now I know where I will be every Wednesday night................ Last year was brutal, hopefully this will be better hahaha | | |
