| A very interesting read from the English Poetry course I'm taking lately that totally makes me reconsider what my priorities should be in life:
Against This Death by Irving Layton
I have seen respectable
death
served up like bread and wine
in stores and offices,
in club and hostel,
and from the streetcorner
church
that faces
two-ways;
I have seen death
served up
like ice.
Against this death,
slow, certain;
the body,
this burly sun,
the exhalations
of your breath,
your cheeks
rose and lovely,
and the secret
life
of the imagination
scheming freedom
from labor
and stone.

| - It's just tooo catchy.. constantly stuck in my head
      
Hey guys!! It's been a while since I updated my Xanga entry. Happy New Year to y'all! :)
Been busy with school last semester. Second year's definitely a killer.. not to mention consecutive sleepless nights and the pulling of continuous all niters, some of my friends are finding it so challenging that they are either on probation or on the verge of being kicked out. I guess I should call myself lucky so far..
Anywhoo to give this semester a good kick I uploaded some pics taken from last term.. but dun really know how to post them up but I"ll try anywayz... | | |
| Essays, tests, quizzes, books, books and books.....
I guess this is University life
It's almost 4 in the morning and i couldn't sleep cos I just can't take it off my mind
I just can't sleep without having everything planned or know that there's something left undone at the back of my mind.
This was totally unexpected when I was at Ridley - I strived and worked hard in order to get myself here
but now I'm starting to doubt if this is the right choice.
I don't blame my family for the whole idea of university education and I don't hate it but I think I'd feel more secure if I know there is something out there planned for me after this.
Now that I know where I should put my heart in I feel less secure everytime I go to school. I understand that I should just keep on going and do whatever I am assigned and try my best to do it but it's just the insecurity at heart that makes me feel like a souless mortal facing winds, blizzards and thunderstorms from everywhere whenever I go to school.
I hate being told that I'm not mature or irresponsible because I know I am both mature and responsible. I don't wanna waste my four years at University knowing that it doesnt contribute anything to my career but just intellectual growth. Intellectual growth is important but there are more things than just marks, professors and books can judge. Learning a new language is beneficial but I don't just go to school for learning Spanish.
I do deem myself lucky as compared with a lot of people. I have a family, I'm going to University, I have everything I need. But what does that lead me to? What does it take for me the become what I want to become?
It's useless bitching about life and I know that but there must be a resolution to this - to ease my fear and insecurities. | | |
| My internship's gonna end in less than a week's time - meaning I'd be free to do whatever I wanna do... however it also means that my summer holiday's gonna end soon and now that I think back I've spent 3/4s of my valuable time on something that's not gonna benefit me in any way other than covering part of my financial needs.....
Well.. whatever.. whatever's gone is gone.. there's no use crying over spilt milk..I shouldn't have agreed to work anywayz.. Let's say it's a good lesson learned..at least I'd be happier that way... It's time to move on and I should have realized that a long time ago..o god what am I talking about.. ah well.. it's probably cos I'm too bored at work lol ... (ah well 30 mins to lunch break lol :P)
I think I'm now craving for a week's time of good shopping then I'd be all set to go back to Toronto.. it's not like I don't like it here in HK, it's just that I can't think of anything else to do other than shopping and going to karaoke bars..
Grrr.. I'm probably getting old.. why am I always repeating the same things over and over again? lol
Well.. time to think of something else to do lol ... toodles... :P

The Keys to Your Heart |
| You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. |
| In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved. |
| You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. |
| You would be forced to break up with someone who was emotional, moody, and difficult to please. |
| Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. |
| Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. |
| You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage. |
| In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered. |
I saw this test whilst visiting Zita's site..
All are true but the last two...
not sure about the forth one.. I have a very high tolerance.. as long as I feel loved.. but ah well...
I hate thinking about this all the time...
But I can't stop thinking about it.... grrr.. this sucks
As for my life in HK....
it could be concluded with 2 words... IT SUCKS...
I was forced to work as a summer intern at a Television Broadcast Co... doing office work... grrrr...IT"S NOTHING LIKE "SIMPLE LIFE"!!
As for shopping goes... I don't really have the mood to shop as I used to... This is a huge change for me but ah well people change.. I'd prbly changed
I just can't wait to get back to Toronto....
Let's hope everything goes well next academic year : )
