Being Myself

Seriously, it is hard, but I am doing it.

Sometimes I thought I am doing it, but afterward (may take days)I realized I wasn't.

Constantly guiding my mind back to the right track (may take days also) whenever it slips to the other side.

Well, as long as I practice all the time, I know it will turn out fine.

This is the faith.

Self doubts, please, go away.


P.S. I hope I will have Vietnamese for lunch.

昨夜太晚睡了, 現在有點累.

今天會看到外婆了! 兩年不見好期待! ;D

天氣好好喔!


一大早還看了這些有趣的:

(500) days of summer, music and love

今天, 我把(500) days of Summer 的 soundtracks 聽了一遍. 在電影院裡, 有聲有畫有情節, 令我覺得大部分的配樂都有一種不能形容的吸引力. 今天只剩下聲音的時候, 歌曲卻變得平平無奇了.

為了增加 itune library 的收藏, 我常常會很起勁的去找新的歌曲來試聽, 希望能夠發現好的音樂. 這樣做是因為: 反覆聽數目是十隻指頭能點算好的歌曲, 覺得自己是個怪人; 也生怕會一成不變, 沒有進步. 到後來, 有好幾次, library 內的歌曲變得太多, 我因為決定不了哪一些是不好聽的而直接把所有的歌曲都刪除了. 之後, 過了一陣子, 我把那些不停反覆聽, 數目是十隻指頭能點算好的歌曲全部找回來了. 然後反覆聽著, 很開心.

湊巧今天看了Sammi寫的一篇專欄. 她說: 如果是一條自己喜歡的牛仔褲, 穿得又自信的, 可以多買幾條. 她還說: (愛) 就是源源不絕的迷戀.

我也是這樣想, 自己愛聽的歌曲就是有本事令自己百聽不厭. 而且本來愛的就不用太多, 太多就不叫愛了. 我會去嫌棄愛的數量, 這才叫奇怪吧.

My recently repeat items (sis, you got some new music la):

方大同的<紅豆> (聽太多了啦!!!)
方大同的<記得> (BUM BUM BUM BUM 的鋼琴聲我很喜歡~)
Lena's "The Show"(Cherry, 你是不是也有聽?)
Westlife's "More Than Words" (DT 講了一講, 我就覺得這首歌好浪漫喔~)

About (500) days of Summer:



Just like the critics have said, "it is fresh and impulsive." Michelle says, "it is as fresh as a lemon! And at the same time, it is easy to develop an emotional connection with everything happens in the movie. All those ups and downs Tom's encoutered." I like the message behind this movie. Tom's beliefs about The One are right, he's just wrong about Summer. Then, after Summer, Autumn comes...

Things I am looking forward to:

1) My grandmom and my little auntie are coming to Sydney to attend my graduation ceremony and I have planned a month of activites to do with them. Can't wait!

2) I have bought my LX3 and it's coming to Sydney with my Grandmom! Can't wait!


P.S. Che! Your postcard has arrived! You miss ng miss mi ar? And mi lost the logins of our blog... :( I was thinking to post (500) days of summer there ga......

Slipping Away

Yesterday seminar, my tutor Cameron talked about "Nonlinear Contract". He described the penalty entitled in such contract by the scenrio of walking in a mine field.

"You can't feel any pain walking. Until you step on a mine, BOMB!, it hurts you a whole lot!"

Surprisingly, a student said, "Not only if you already know there are tons of mine in the field, just walking on such a land can draws you nuts mentally!"

Not surprisingly, Michelle then said to herself, "That's part of LOVE."

Economic theories can indeed be very applicable. :P

The website "days with my father" kept me from hanging up on my daddy last night.

To my lovely daddy who has taken up learning English words and economic theories-

I Love You. xoxoxo

P.S. Che, I think no one can understand things I say more easily than you do. xoxo

(Pictures taken from Le Love :P)

To my brain, Love Michelle

My beloved brain,

Buddy, I have to say you are such a sensitive friend. I know you wanted to warn me not to be too optimistic, to keep me away from stupid events.

However, we need to talk now.

You know how sometimes I let you in charge too often that I need to slow down and take care of you during the day?

How about this? I will let you do whatever you want after my shower and before I close my eyes for the day.

During other time, you support me?

Don't worry, if you really need me to slow down, I will do it. Overall, we are living in Australia, aren't we?

xoxoxoxo

Love,

Michelle


P.S. To Che, I wanted to BBQ those pigeons in MI 3. There are too many of them...... Madly in love still, with you, Michelle.

Three movies: one I have seen, two I wanted to see but couldn't find a copy again and again...

The one which I have seen,



Those two I wanted to see but couldn't find a copy again and again,





I think it's my turn now, my fellow Blockbuster memebers......

A very touching morning

Yesterday, I woke up 2 or 3 times in the middle of the night. Everytime it took me another hour before I could fall asleep again. It's been happening since Autumn has arrived. I guess it is the Autumn breeze calling......

This morning, I watched a couple of things in the internet and would like to share with you here,

Marc Tremitiere: The Baby Deliverer - It is a slides of beautiful black and white photographs with the narrative done by a lovely man - Marc Tremitiere, recalling the story of him helping his wife to deliver their baby at home. At one point the baby was stucked and turned blue!!! A very good real life story, and this guy did a good job telling it.

Coca-Cola: Encounter - A beautiful tv ad of Coca-Cola. Very very beautiful indeed. I don't know how to put together a decent description, just watch and experience the emotions, you will be touched! Remember to follow the subtitles. Note: sometimes they slip away too quickly and you need to pause and read.




Looking forward to have my friend comes over to make dumplings for me! Yummi yum yum yum yum! I love dumplings! And my friend! xoxoxoxoxo

P.S. Che~ See? I am seriousl writing again! xoxoxo Swing spin spin~

A few happy things

I would like to write few things down,

One day, I asked my bff Cherie to dance with me on msn. Yes, we can dance on msn now. I can't remember all the steps, but it went something like "me 3, me 4, me 5, 6, 7, 8, bom cha cha, bom cha cha..." Later we even swung our hips and took some ballet spin 'swing swing 1 2 spin spin 3 and 4". Che, shall we dance again soon?

Then, I wrote a poem for my crush in high school. "Barry has a pair of starry eyes, Which is a deadly deadly crime." He was my English teacher, a very nice English teacher. It was just a crush...... ;P

Finally, I feel like I know how to pursuit my happiness now~ For me, in order to pursuit my happiness, I just need to drop all my unnecessary self control and go for what my heart wants. Trust myself more and be very proud of myself.

xoxoxo

The Jamie Magazine

Can't believe how much work this guy has done, all dedicated to cooking!

The Jamie Magazine is a food mag with tons of recipes, heaps of nicely captured photos and lots of Jamie's humour.

My favourite part of the current issue, which is also the favourite of Cherry, is a step by step Pot Au Feu recipe hand-drawn with colour pencils. Love those piglets dancing merrily together, wearing celery hats and carrots skirts!

P.S. The paper smells good too! Sniff sniff......

A Lot of Happiness

Thank you! Thank you! I could never imagine this would happen to me. There were a lot of happiness in the past few days! I would like to thank:

1) Two friends whom I haven't contacted for so long; recently they popped up and said hi to me, and we are in touch now! How wonderful is that!

2) Cherie; for sharing the same interest in "Milk", Sean Penn, James Franco, Kate Winslet, homosexuals and every detail of the Oscar. Cherie said "the Oscar goes to Sean Penn", the night before the ceremony. So, from now on, whatever she says will come true, which makes her friends very happy.

3) Cherry; for coming over and watch the Oscar with me. After those years of me screaming in front of the TV alone like a crazy girl, I finally had a company, a good one. Although, it would be better if you didn't speak English with an Indian accent. Seriously, I don't want my stomach to ache again.

4) The Academy; for making the show so wonderful. I love the stage, it is beautiful, and having five former winners to present acting awards is really thoughtful. Hugh Jackman was great. However, please show less of Bradjolina and have others to replace Micheal Douglas and Steve Spielberg as presenters. Enough is enough.

5) Finally, the City Rail. I can travel by train to school now! Oh my god, I love trains!

And that's all on my thank-you list. I am now looking forward to visit the Bondi Sunday Market this weekend and few of my friends from hk said they will visit me in 2010! Can't wait babes! xoxoxoxoxo

These days......

I watched some good movies,

Finished a good book,

Looked at some good images,

Watched some good performance,

Fell in love with some words,

"May your coming year be filled with

magic and dreams and good madness.

I hope you read some fine books

and kiss someone who thinks you are wonderful,

and don't forget to make some art -

write or draw or build or sing

or live as only you can.

And I hope, somewhere in the next year,

you surprise yourself."

-Neil Gaimen

"... the secret of happiness is to continually fall in love.

To give the soul reasons for butterflies.

And babies, they will do it for you."

-Jane

Had a growing interest in a passed away actor and a very rare kind of animal,
