軟弱的我，漸漸失去堅持的動力。對不起。跟自己說對不起。
我不明白自己需要什麽了。真的不知道。

Chef Hong Kong
 |
| 4 days ago --cassandra's birthday |
We went to Chef Hong Kong and paid 4.8pounds for a 'Chinese' meal.
For me, I cook better than the chef I guess.
They just sprinkled a little bit 'should be added' ingredients =_=
偷工減料!
It looks like a dish costing at most $40 in Hong Kong..
That night we played a card game called 升級.
I guess I was the one who understood the game.
But afterwards I found it very addictive and exciting LOL.
Right now I am just reading codeswitching literature ...
Again!? Current progress : 0/2000

Failure
Success is a wonderful thing, but it tends not to be the sort of experience that we learn from. We enjoy it, perhaps we even deserve it. But we don't acquire wisdom from it. And maybe that's why it cannot be passed on either - me being successful does not mean my children will also be. No matter how much ever I teach them what I did in my life and even if they follow it to the letter.
So I feel that talking about how to become successful is a waste of time. Instead, let me tell you very honestly whatever happened to me happened because I have always been terrified of failure. I don't want as much to succeed as much as I don't want to fail.
I come from a very normal lower middle class family. I saw a lot of failure. My father was a beautiful man and the most successful failure in the world. My mother also failed to stay with me long enough for her to see me become a movie star. We were quite poor actually and let me tell you, poverty is not an ennobling experience at all. Poverty entails fear and stress and sometimes depression. I watched my parents go through this several times.
At an early age after my parents died, I equated poverty with failure. I just didn't want to be poor. So when I got a chance to act in films it wasn't out of any creative desire that I did so. It was purely out of the fear of failure and poverty. Most of the films I signed were discards of better known actors and the producers could not find anyone else to do them. I did them all to make sure that I was working to avoid unemployment. The timing or something was right, and that made them happen. I became a big star, which means sometimes our success is not the direct result of our actions. Success just happens. Really. It is accidental and we take credit for it, I know I have done this even out of embarrassment sometimes.
So I believe the true path to success is through the fear of failure. If you aren't scared enough of failing, you are unlikely to succeed. It's not pleasant to fail, it's tough. All of us experience it. You will too if you haven't already. Use it to succeed.
Here's how I have done so:
1. Firstly, its not the absence of failure that makes you a success - it is your response to failure that actually helps to buffer the reverses that you experience. I personally have one response to failure - pragmatism - a recognition and belief that if one approach does not work, then the other will or might.
2. Failure also gives me an incentive to greater exertion - harder work, which invariably leads to later success in most cases.
3. Repeated failure has taught me to stop pretending I am someone else. It has given me the clarity to stick to the things that really matter to me instead of distracting me from my core.
4. Failure also gets you to find, who your real friends are. The true strength of your relationships only gets tested in the face of strong adversity.
5. Overcoming some of my failures has made me discover that I have a strong will and more discipline than I suspected. It has helped me have confidence in my ability to survive.
Failure is an amazing teacher. There is a well-known story of a bank president, who was asked the secret of his success. "Right decisions," he replied. "How do you get to know how to make right decisions?" came the follow-up question. "Experience," was the answer. "Well, how do you get experience?" asked his interrogator. "Wrong decisions," he replied.
You have to know and learn that life is a not just a check list of acquisitions, attainments and fulfilments, your qualifications and CVs don't really matter. Instead, life is difficult and complicated, and beyond anyone's control. The humility to know this will help you survive its vicissitudes.
But I don't want to sound dark. My hope for all of you is that you retain a lifelong love of learning, that you never cease to dream exciting and inspiring dreams, and when you fail, you fail well enough to succeed the next time. Don't be afraid of being afraid, be afraid of not facing your fears and failures.
In the end I will read out a text message I got today from my kid - "Papa, Chuck Norris has trained his dog to pick up its own poop because Chuck Norris will not take shit from anyone."
So remember, you are fortunate enough to be a funambulist - who has an amazing set of punching bags - cherish them. And failure is your fiendish friend, keep him close, and don't take no shit from anybody.

他雙手握著一隻親手摺的戒指問道：
「你可唔可以做我女朋友？」

栗子
一個菠蘿包，一包腸粉，再加一碗熱飲。
冬日中體重總是有增無減。
數字令人落空、失望、氣餒...還有什麼比這些更差呢？
近來在家中被勒得太緊，反而很渴望可以快點到英國過自由的生活。
哈，兩個極端，自由多一陣子我可能又想什麼都被安排了。
人，都是矛盾的。
兩天前，Wright邀請我看了聖誕檔期第四套電影──
Sherlock Holmes the game of shadow 1
我忘了第一集說什麼，甚至不知道自己有否入場看。
電影這些年看得很多，電影嘛，聚會必有的活動。
無論是劇情，對白以及角色都好難搞清楚，我看了半套才有點頭緒...
Wright 入場前問是不是喜歡栗子，我猜我在FB透露了哈。
熱辣辣的炒栗子，我都不知道圓方附近在哪裡有賣~_~！
雖然沒有時間拍下那一磅栗子，但很想記錄的是那種被了解的心情。
雖然只見了他兩次，但感覺上他是個細心的朋友 :)
他見我把栗子都咬爛了，就把他咬好完整的給我。
FAREWELL晚飯來到一間我未試過的「新森林」，
下次可以帶姊妹去好，個人認為好好味>-<～才41 蚊個飯，大家樂都要！
嘩呀...好引誘，好像食啦！！！
咖哩汁啦、白汁啦、燒汁啦！我咩汁都鍾意！！/-\
由於我晚上要補習，我們吃了一個小時就走人了～
Wright又回歸澳洲待上四年做獸醫LOL，下年見吧！

RECENTLY
所有課堂都無聲無色地走遠了，
只剩下一堆等待完成的功課。
今天我剛揮別了西班牙文。
這是我很喜歡的一科，雖然評分項目有數十個...
每個最多得約10%...
最後的兩小時，是小組報告及考試的時間。
考完的第一個感覺是: 最衰琴日唔使由兩點對到兩點。
我就是這樣，凡事盡150%或更多的力，
到最後還要質疑自己有沒有付出100%。
希望這一科給我一個A。
大學的A怎麼都如摘星一樣難？
明明我已經每天進步得比別人多...
回到家裡急急飲了一杯CEREAL，吃了一些餅乾。
打算好好努力溫習DISCOURSE。
但為什麼我這一刻只想躲懶？
40% 不是應該更重要嗎？
收到Viola 發的短信，看見她說I miss you真的很開心。
我也很想念我每一個姊妹，我知道她們亦然 :)
她分享到一個中國男孩跟她說很感激有viola在他的生命裡。
我當然恭喜她遇上一個真的喜歡她，緊張她的人。
她再問我關於陳生的事。
其實這件事不是向來都只有一個答案嗎？
一直都這樣爛。
我說不出來這樣的餘溫應否繼續下去。
跟一個不會想將來的人在一起。
在一起的意思是單純的拖手。
我在他心目中, 朋友中都是不被承認的一個「朋友」。
"oh...she is my fd. I bring her here to take photos."
我發誓我將來不要再有這樣的經驗！
感覺好差。
為什麼戀愛變成枷鎖？
無論我CUT多少次線，電話對面的那一方都不知道
我想要的東西是持續而恆久的熱情！
如果每晚待我掛斷電話後失望流淚後他才會知道第二日需要努力對我好。
如果他對我好了一天後又忘了我需要什麼，
那我為什麼還要辛苦自己？
我問了自己好多個為什麼。
我答應了自己，考完試我就會把自己沉澱，
直至我實行到我說了十萬遍的事為止。
