Witchcraft's PerfectionThe secret of a Pensieve
November 03 Wendy's profile updateI noticed that many of u guys have kept visiting my space for the past few days since i wrote the last entry. Guess everyone's bored during this shittest time of the year - Stuvac? Let's just keep everyone's company by having a say of myself:

October 27 为了那个自己的梦想而奋斗！I sound like Aaron, don't I? Haha...
最近真的感悟甚多， 突然明白了一个道理： 人呢， 活着是不能没有目标的． 不管你的目标是什么， 是学习也好， 工作也好． 也不管你最终是否会达到那个目标． 活着没有目标真的就像死人一样．
for the past 3 years i felt like living without a purpose, as wat we say all the time, "go with the flow". Yeah life seems like a flow of events, people come and go, nothing really stays inside. I felt hollow, empty, meaningless. I kept searching for something, something attached to a meaning to me, something that would make sense. I looked for materialistic gains to fulfill my empty self. I kept clinging on to things that i don't really need. Just because i didn't really know what i lived for. So many times, i have underestimated my strengths. So many times, i have not believed in my inner abilities to achieve things.
还好， 通过一番周折， 总算明白一个道理： 自己应该是ＰＲＯＵＤ的， 骄傲的． 明白自己就是ＵＮＩＱＵＥ的自己， 与众不同的自己， 不用和别人去比， 也不必贬低自己． 总算找到了自己生活， 追求的目标， ２１岁， 还不算晚．
可能今天真的应该自己庆祝一番， 庆祝自己总算成熟了， 总算明白了自己的价值， 总算了解到了活着的真谛， 总算拥有了属于自己的天地． 从此， 我不再轻易低头， 不再轻易相信别人， 怀疑自己， 不再短浅， 不再自卑， 我会勇敢的走下去， 和他们一起成长， 一起走我们的路， 做我们永远钟爱的事情．
一个简单的道理， 我用了２１年的时间才明白． September 28 Wiseman's place我把在绳子床上躺着的时候拍下来的大树和天空的照片做成了桌面， 这样， 什么时候看到它， 就仿佛自己又躺在了那个山上的绳子床上， 摇摇晃晃的， 晃晃摇摇的， 听着林子里的鸟叫， 晚上是蝉鸣． 我为什么又回来了呢？ 在那个灵静的山谷里， 一切， 都好象是自己做的一个梦， 遥远而不切实际～

two nights, four movies, with a film-student talking crap about everything on the movie~ oh please~:P
canoeing...i finally know wat this means...a long, mysterious and non-challenging river, two people seeking adventure but disappointed when nothing happened~like a dead body or a gateway to another world
bbq on the 'mountain', and the rope bed
Windsor!!! So? Nothing really interesting, except the smell of animal dumps.
You cabbie drivers - wat a deep deep memory of you lot! Maybe my next general feature will be based on the "current attitude of village cabbie drivers" yeah we just tourists but nothing ignorant okay?

August 13 Wendy's Hi5Hihi, i've made a flash of my cute pics (mainly taken by myself lol~) haha...but it can't be displayed here~ visit my Hi5 page instead, and join my friends' list!!!
August 01 Wendy's blurb at the start of the semesterI am goin to do a speedy entry of the blog because i've got dinner in half-an-hour's time.
Firstly of all, dont know if anyone's realised this or not, but today's the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day, which is valentine's festival celebrated in China before the introduction of the western Valentine's day on 14th February. It is the only day the earthly YunLiang and the goddess ZhiNv could be able to see other and reunite for the entire year, therefore back in the emperor's era, the Chinese started to celebrate this day as the day for all the valentines. For me it is an excruciatingly beautiful and melanchony story, which adds such unique romanticism to the day. Unlike Romeo and Juliet, this love story ends on the two lovers both living on an eternal life and stretch out their love endlessly, so the ending is not really an ending.
So hope everyone's happy on the Chinese Valentine's Day, for the couples as well as those who haven't found their 'one'. Just having faith that true love still exists is really important, lol~
Maybe my readers did realise that i was extremely lazy these days and rarely posted any valuable original thoughts, mainly just blurbing about what a boring life i am leading. That's a fact. As i became older and realised that I am already a 3rd-year, I found myself not really keen on anything in particular, let it be uni clubs, work, making friends or goin out. I don't know wat changed me but i guess it must be a sign of getting older, and more mature in mind which is reflected in being selective of friends and things u occupy urself with. I become dispassionate becasue i realised that i do not have real interest in them. There's a popular sayin about uni students: in the freshman yr u look for old friends, in second yr u look for new friends, and in the third yr u look for yourself. I think that's particular true in my case because as it turns out, I am not the 1st or 2nd yr interested-in-everything person anymore. Don't know if its a postivie thing or not, and don't know whether u like this wendy or not, but lol, let's be honest.
Enough about my transformation, i'd like to talk about the subjects i'm taken this semester. I am doing two media courses, magazine writing and online media, one music publishing course and the continuing french language course. I found myself acutally liking to go to the writing workshop n lectures coz I just love the way Megan delivers the content with her soft-spoken voice. Compared with boring newspieces, features for mags are certainly more creative and interesting, but at the same time more demanding too. Believe it or not, our first workshop is to build materials based on the Little Red Riding Hood, and wat fun we had~
My music publishing course's fun too. As i delved more into the world of notes, that constitutes melodies, that constitutes orchestral pieces, that constitutes great composers, i found myself an increasing interest in having a career based on music. I have gradually come to believe that music is my ultimate goal, my ultimate dream, my career, my life.
French, wat can i say more about French? Okay let's confess it, I love French. But another truth: I am not so good at it. After continuing scoring Distinction and HD in 1st and 2nd year, I was disappointed in 3rd year for my Advanced French result. As the class gets smaller and narrower, the ppl remained are the talented ones, the hard-working ones, the ones with an interest. If I continue to be lazy and not putting any effort into the course, its evident of the result.
Okay, as my blurb goes on, my mum's already too angry coz i haven't been on the dining table. Well, gtg, i will post my blurb some other time, if u have the patience~ |
