我的快樂 會回來的

The second half of 24 October 2004

It's raining right now. What a drag! Why does it always rain in Hamilton? Must check out the weather broadcast, but it's going to rain on Sunday as well. It's great that I don't have to go to university on Monday. So warm, and no one who has time to talk is working in the lab. I'd better not go to university to bother them, and slow down their work.

The 80th party was, *cough*, ok. It was boring. I am sorry to say, but it was boring. All the people were from the birthday girl's family, and we don't really have anything to say to them. It's so boring, we just talked with one another then come home. Mingle wouldn't have worked because we don't know many of them. We only knew our neighbour, but she was very busy talking to people in the party.

All of my family felt quite tired, so we rested. Time goes real fast in summer, and it's already 7 when I wake up. Very tired.

Had some beef noddle tonight, very yummy, and feel compasionate about all people who are in Ramadan. (Sorry about the spelling) Peace. They are so good at it, not eating at all in the mornings. I can never do that! I love food. God, please be merciful for those who are not eating, do not make it so hard, ok? I am sure you from the above is merciful and all-seeing and all-knowing, will hear their prayers.

Right, this is not about Religion. I should go to sleep and clear my head for tomorrow. It's another day. Wish the weather is ok, and pumpkin is growing.

Talked to Diamond girl and Abu again this evening. They are both well.

Interesting about my sister's job

My baby sister has got her post office job! Cool, eh? I feel for her, so happy.

Meet Abu online. Happy again. I was hanging the clothes on the clothline, but the clouds are so dark this morning inspite of the Labour Weekend. Eventually, I decided to hang the cloth under the shade of deck.

Walked around the neighbourhood this morning. So good! Spring is here again, the flowers that I can never rember the names are blooming. All of them are beckoning to me. So pretty, even the smell is calling out to me: Springtime...springtime.

Oh, very frustrated at the moment because too many cute guys are around. Please go home and not walk in front of me so tempt me, ok? I worry too much, they probably have girlfriend(s) anyway. But why are there suddenly so many cute, delicious, Greek-God looking males around me now? Is it because I am single again so I am looking? Very bad, keep telling myself that it can be rebound from last relationship, but no, it's not working. Must be animalistic instinct. Don't like that, want to be normal woman. Stop drolling, ok? Men notice that.

Hahahahahahahaha probably just worry too much now. Will take care of myself and get offline. This day is not over so may blog later.

It's 23rd of October, and in New Zealand, the weather is overcasted and everything seems to come alive after winter. Pumpkin: still have all its leaves, but not taller than two days before when planted. Guinea pig: healthy, but stupid and not eating from pink toy tube.

Grilling two days 20 and 21 October

Sorry about not posting for these two days. Anyway, no one is giving any comments! Haha.

Yesterday was the day that I did the big proposal presentation up in Waikato university. Such a drag! Some people's were so boring that I nearly fell asleep on the comfy chair. You should never have comfy chair if you want the students to listen to your lectures.

The morning went ok, I suppose. People were very enthusiastic in the morning, and happy. However, students got really bored in the afternoon, and you start to see people talking quietly in the afternoon. So bad. Don't know why they don't respect other people's presentations.

I think overall this is a good year because you can sense the diversity of the project in Biology Department. We should be the best! I don't see why they say Auckland or Canterbury is better than us. We are working so hard!

This morning I went to university to key in all my results from last week, which was a disaster since I can't remember what I did for the standard. Oh drat! I wish I had written down everything. Mental note: Must write down everything otherwise will not be able to write up my thesis properly. Jane is coming to help next Tuesday after the Labour Weekend. Isn't that nice? I wish you are all happy!

Summer is here (finally) and hope you are happier. The sun is coming out and all the flowers are blooming. I got a pumpkin seedling from Dexcel the day before yesterday as well. Isn't that grand? But we have got so many snails in our garden. !@#$@$%#$%$!

Made a weapon in Dragon Realm mud. Mandrake (bifrost) is not satisfy with it, but he grudgingly accepted it. It took two of my lives and several failed attempts of Eternityring to kill Clerisy the level 45 mob. He is a SWORD MAGE: weakling, oh... sorry Eternityring, I shouldn't have said that. I think any weapon on him will do, haha, even a level 1 wand can be powerful because he is so powerful and sadistic! It goes berserk and can spit acid or fire out of its mouth. However, it's not impossible to kill. We got the weapon in the end. Tell you what it's not worth dying for. I made it, and it's only got sk 88, + 3 weapon level. Cry~~~~~\_/ Why me, why can't they let me have a better weapon. !#$!#@T%!#%

Oh, alright. I will be calmer now.

Half day

It's only 11:12 am so I reckon other things are still happening. I have done my preparation for the 7 minutes presentation, although I reckon it's getting longer by the minute. I am going to practice it soon.

I will have a practice run this afternoon. However, I will run it now in silent mode. Don't know what will happen, though.

Hope it will be ok.

Lisa and Farina are still sweating over it, I am glad that I started early this time and have finished early! So happy. I can finally rest now.

Tomorrow I will put it on CD so it will be ready for Wednesday's real session in A.G.30. Hopefully at that stage everyone will be ready. I invited Mark, Megan, Lisa, Ajay and Farina to practice together. It should be fun!

Cultural filled day

It's so great! I love today. Today I woke up to a grey sky, but the movie that I went to watch was so good. It's The Notebook. The leading actors/actresses are relatively unknown, but they are very good at acting, and the story was moving.

An old woman had forgotten about her past because of the degenerative dementia. Her husband, Noah, took care of her. He is telling her their past love. It's set in the 1940. You see this poor young lad, who works in the logging factory. He is very good with his hands, and certainly crazy in love with Allie, Allyson Hamilton, the rich South Carolina girl.

She comes from a rich background, and is educated and sophisticated. Loves painting, plays piano very well. He is from an average family, with an old house, and a dream of restoring the Windsor plantation house back. It's their dream house. However, when the romantic summer encounter ends, Noah and Ally know they will not be able to be together. It's just a dream.

Ally leaves for New York and Noah stays behind. He writes to her everyday for 365 days, and tells her that he still loves her even though they broke up the night before she left. Her mother kept all their letters and they had to forget about each other.

The war broke out, Noah and Fin went to work in the city and later joined the war together. Fin died in the World War II, and Ally met another rich man from the south, Long. They fell in love and he proposed in a dance hall.

She is trying on the wedding gown, but sees Noah, standing in front of his restored Victorian house. With the white wall and the blue shutters, just like she ordered and he had kept his promise. Meanwhile, Noah is sleeping with a war widow, Martha.

Ally can not help but wonder what if they are together, and goes back to Seabrook immediately. Their romance had never ended, they are now sleeping together. She is painting again, and goes into the beautiful lake with all the ducks and it rains. So romantic. They make love in the house.

In the morning, her mother comes and brings Long with her. She tells Ally about her past love, who still works in the Sand factory in the small town, Seabrook. Yes, she loves her father and he is very rich, but her mother is not happy about her marriage. She tells her to make the right choice for herself, and gives back all her letters.

Ally fights with Noah, and goes to see Long. However, on the way to town, she nearly crashes into an oncoming truck. She reads Noah's letters, and is moved by his undying love.

She breaks up with Long, and marries Noah.

Noah's young kids, now parents themselves, come to visit the old, withering parents in the sanitorium. They need their father, too.

After Noah has finished the story, Ally has immeidately slipped into the dementia state, and has forgotten the reality again. She comes back the day after Noah's third heart attack, and stays in an isolated room for a while.

Noah knows that he is dying, so he goes and see her. The nurse lets him, and they die on the sanitorium/hospital bed together in sleep.

It's such a beautiful set movie, with nice scenery, and very good acting. I love it.

After watching the movie, I went to lunch, the bookshop, and the library. I borrowed some books, and my sister also borrowed some. I think my friend bought one book. She has other engagements, so I take my sister to university.

She stays in the library, and I go to the United Youth concert. It's great, too. I loved it, but was too sleepy. It's a bit long, but I think I will start playing again after their holiday. It's great, isn't it? I am free now.

I think I will be busier, but this time I will organise my time around the schedule. I am not going to stop playing cello and lose touch with music.

I am so happy! Need to go home soon.
