So busy October 28, 2008
It's been long since I updated. This is basically because I've been, again, busy these days. "You've had a whole reading week, don't you?" Well, I was indeed quite busy in the reading week that I didn't really study. (Just a bit, but because of having studied something about restoration, and that I was an active questioner in sim lab today, my question was misinterpreted as a stupid one and I am now really annoyed about that.) Anyway school has started again but hall life gets only busier. Our freshmen are so enthusiastic that they've really prepared lots and lots of activities. Well, I'll try my best to support you.
Anyway maybe you guys are interested in seeing this:
Expectation October 18, 2008
We always have different expectations. But traditional wisdom suggests that the higher the expectation we have, the more likely that we'll be disappointed. Perhaps one thing we should bare in mind is that there's no such thing as right or wrong. We feel disappointed just because we have different expectations. Despite seeing things so crystal clear, we may still feel very upset, and even angry. Why? It's because sometimes when something we care so much lags far behind what we expect, we may start to question: did I made the right decision at the very beginning? Should I really not care so much? How can things be like this despite that I've tried so hard?
Roomate October 15, 2008
So, my roomate is back to Taiwan for a week. Do I get along with him? Yes, I do. But I really enjoy being by myself more when it really comes to private time. I mean, I enjoy having company when I eat, when I travel, when I attend classes; but when I have finished all my work in day time and go back to a place to sleep or do private stuff, I prefer to do that alone. I took this one-week window to tidy up my room and got everything back in order again. It was cool. Now my room is tidy, and I am more than happy with myself.
Btw, the major motivation that made me tidy up my room (which is not so tidy since August) was because of A's bday. Everything was eventually perfect. By being perfect, I mean it. Flaws are really strictly unacceptable to me, so everything has to be there, and appears at the right time. And I did it. So, Happy Bday, despite that it's one-day late here.
Finally, I cooked something for myself tonight. Sweden Meatball with Curry and Lingonberry Sauce. Not bad, isn't it?
Hall life October 12, 2008
Instead of coming back to hall on Sunday evening, I came back one day earlier this week. Well, I have something to prepare. After things were almost finished, I felt quite relaxed that I asked Thomas for dinner. So we met at SU Can.
"Why are you staying at hall this weekend?" I asked.
"I seldom go home," he said.
Perhaps hall life really means differently to us. To some people like him, hall is a second life which they find more warmth than they are at home. To me, things are more complex. I always feel love from my family. "But I think you guys are not really so close," Agnes once told me. I disagreed. My family and I don't have much time to spend with each other, but truly, the bond still exists between us, and it is strong. Yes, this is the kind of person I am. Hall is really a second home to me, but there's always a home I treasure more.
Horoscope again October 10, 2008
I used to think the whole horoscope stuff was just a bunch of shit. I still don't believe in the forecast thing, but when it comes to personality analysis, I really see the wisdom it contains. I am a Cancerian, a very very typical one. My birthday lies in about the middle of the Cancer period, which is less affected by the previous horoscope. My mother, too, is a Cancerian, and her birthday is one day after mine. It makes her a typical Cancerian, which in turn makes me a super Cancerian.
Sometimes, the harder you try to dismiss one idea, the easier you one day turn to believe in it. If that idea is a good one, we're so blessed to get to know something new that can help us. If that idea is not so good, well, we can only prey for ourselves.
PS Finally, sorry for this afternoon.
High table resumed October 9, 2008
Today, I went to my first HTD after the one in August's Ocamp. Today's HTD was actually the first that I had (relatively more) fun. Why? There was finally someone that I know to sit with. Freshmen were really talkative, and I was not bored this evening..
I had a bad day though. It's supposed to be a 4-star day today! But I got up late this morning and wasn't back to PP until 9.45, and then when I had an extra sim lab session this afternoon, I broke a hatchet.. "This is certainly beyond repairable," said the DSA, "it's really up to Bothelo whether you need to pay." Ok, lady, why don't u say "I'll remember this, you'll pay"?
Want to go to church October 6, 2008
It may be quite odd to say this all of a sudden, and it may even face oppositions (or at least criticism) from people who do not trust in God. What's my attutide towards God? I've always believed that God exists - I'm just not sure if he's guiding me. But a major threat is kind of resolved today, so once again, I have the feeling that I'm always blessed by God. I've vowed to be a better person if I can survive the threat. Now I can, so it's time to extend my knowledge about God.

I got a new printer today. This time, I got a 3-in-1. Hopefully I can computerize my hand-written notes for my UE students. "Why not type your notes directly?" You may ask. Well, handwriting always gives more flexibility, and, more importantly, personal style. Maybe I'm more or less influenced by Patrick, but overall, I just like my style. Anyway what's so good about this printer is that it's not an Epson, and that it fits perfectly into my collection of white gadgets. Isn't it great?
Actually, before buying the printer, I had lunch at 八方雲集, a restaurant featuring Wotie [窩貼] and Shuijiao [水餃] at MK. How was it? It was great. I'd give it a 8.5 out of 10. Besides dumplings, each lunch set also include soup, which you can choose from sour and spicy soup and others.. Maybe it's not that great, but it really surprised me.
Always a Lasallian October 5, 2008
Well, there was a uniform party between my floor and three other this evening. I was wondering whether I was in the right mood to attend. The sight that many others wore their own old uniforms helped me decide - I'd definitely want to wear my La Salle uniform again. I used to think how much I love La Salle, and I didn't know. But right now, I'm 100% sure that I love it very much. It did not only let me grow up; it enlightened me (probably more than what HKU will do). So today, I'm pleased to announce that I am a proud Lasallian, and I'll always be.
The party was fun, and our masters and angels were revealed. I met some new friends as I've decided to officially forget some old friends. Don't worry, there aren't too many people that I'm going to give up, just like there aren't too many friends that I'm going to make. Actually, I think the rate that I lose friends are greater than that I make new ones. What a pity..
Btw, Mcdull proposed to me that I wore my dental uniform in the party. I didn't do that, probably because 1) it's seven and 2) I've said I'm more proud to be a Lasallian than a dentistry student. (I don't know if this will change when I become a dentist though..) Anyway John did that.. because he didn't use to have any uniform, did he?
