""misssssssssssssss...

I have just come back from Hong Kong from less than 2 weeks
but I am now planning to go back to Hong Kong during the sem break.
Do you know why?

It is just so good to be in Hong Kong.
Everything is way cheaper in Hong Kong,
it suits people who like to shop, especially we girls.

I will do a lot of shopping when I go back to Hong Kong, clothes, cosmetic products, perfume and so many other things I have to buy.
It is a kind of relief to do shopping.
You feel so happy when you see something beautiful and of course,
you will be happier if you can own it!!

Things here in sydney is relatively more expensive and less trendy I have to say.
To be a good girl of my parents’,
I think I should go back to Hong Kong as I can spend money with a higher value there.

Besides that, and the most important thing is that my family is in Hong Kong.
They always give me largest support when I am sad and give me warmest welcome when I am back.

Mum and dad, I really want to see you all.
Please let me come back, or maybe you can come visit me in Sydney. Ok?

""harry potter:]

:: Currently watching: Harry Potter and the Globet of Fire ::

_oliver and james phelps_
they are soooooooooooooooooooooo lovelyyyyy!!
love themmmmmmmmm so much:]



I watched it TWICEEEEEEEE!
Yes. Twice. We watched *harry potter* non-stop for 6 hrs!
um..i would rate the film 8 out of 10....
its actually pretty good...
[although i kept complaining when i was watching it for the first time]
at least its much much much better than the third one
despite the fact that the plot is a bit different from the book...
still...i enjoyed it sooooo much:]

:: spoiler hereeeee>>dun read it if you havent read the book nor the film neither:p

the scene of quidditch world cup was quite impressiveeee,
i even had goosebumps when the crowds cheered for both the national quidditch teammm
but i was just disappointed as there wasnt any quidditch match shown in the filmmmm
also i dun really appreciate the acting and reaction of professor Dumbledore...
he didnt look wise and calm in the filmmm...
his reaction was a bit too much when harry turned out to be the fourth championnnnn..
and cedric..well..not really good looking as the book mentioned..
maybe that's just the problem of my personal taste...
but i did cry a bit when he dieddd....
especially when i saw amos cheered happily when harry came back with cedric's death body....
the rita skeeter in the movie was quite the same as my imaginationmine is a bit fatterrrr though...
anywayy...the director did choose a right person to play this roleee...
plus how come hogwarts shrank?
there were less and less students and the great hall was so small
it was completely different from the first and second one.
and the castle became so darkkk in the thrid and fourth movieee...
welll...i prefer the former much much much moreeee..
harry looked much better in the film than in the posters...
i found him actually quite cute except his double chinnn
and honestly i really love ron's dress robee...
it really looks good on himmmm hahahaha:p
needless to sayyyyyyy_FRED AND GEORGE WEASLEYYYYY were stunning!!!!
i was so glad that there were a lot more shots of them in the fourth movieeeee:]
they are realllyyyy so cuteeee !!
in fact the film did miss out a lot of important details of the bookkkk...
i doubted if people who havent read the book would understand the filmmmm..
anywayyyy...its a MUST WATCH FILM for everyonee!!!!
wahahahahah...hyperactive meeee:p

""george best

:: George Best ::

Honestly, I know nothing about him.
Even though I love soccer,
I don't know how good his skill was in playing soccer and how popular he was.
His death doesn't bring me any grief.

Then why on earth I created a blog for a person who is so distantly related to me?
It is because George Best, one of the greatest soccer players of all time, died of ill health owing to decades of alcoholism.
Alcoholism, a term which is closely related and familiar to me,
As my dad is also a alcoholic too.

He drinks a lots.
From early in the morning to midnight, his hands hardly leave hold of cans of beer.
But he never gets drunk no matter how much beer he drinks.
He even substitutes beer for water.

Remember I asked him before,

"Dad, why do you like drinking beer so much?"

He told me,

"Because drinking beer gives me a motivation to work harder."

I can't get it.
I can't understand why beer has such an attraction for him.
I can just deduce that he keeps drinking because it is his only way to relax himself as he is too busy to have other wholesome pastime.
Yes. I know he shoulders a heavy burden.
He is the only source of income in my family.
He has to work extra hard to ensure we can enjoy a comfortable life.
If drinking beer can lessen his pressure, why not?
But what about his own health?
Doesn't he worry about himself?
He really drinks too much.
After all he is no longer a lad.

I did try to convince him to quit drinking.
Of course I ended it with a failure.
What else can I do?
I am just so worried about him.
I fear the worst.
I don't even have the courage to imagine it.
Even a tiny bit of thought about it is enough to give me a shiver.
Dad, can you please listen to us for one time,
Just once, the only once, please?

I LOVE YOU.

WE ALL LOVE YOU OUR BELOVED DAD.

CAN YOU PLEASE LOVE YOURSELF JUST AS YOU LOVE US?

""my dearest dad:]

:: Currently watching: Meet Joe Black ::

What would you do if you know that you are going to die?
To do something spectacular?
To stay with your family or friends?
To go to somewhere you haven't been to before?

For me, I would ring round all my beloved friends to say I LOVE YOU and spend all my time with my dearest family.

I always say I love you to my friends.

I DO LOVE MY FAMILY.

But I never do it to my family.
It should be a easy task, shouldn't it?
I should be able to do it.
But I can't.
Not even have the courage to write I LOVE YOU in the birthday cards for them.

In fact I am quite close with my sisters and mum, but not my dad.
We rarely talked with each other.
Even if we chat, our topics will be confined to some casual topics, such as

"when is your exam?"
"don't impose too much pressure on yourself"
"tell mum if you need anything"

He is always very busy.
He has to wake up very early in the morning, but come back late at night.
When he comes back home, he is always so tired that the only thing he wants to do is to lie on his comfortable bed and watch TV with a can of beer in his hand.

The situation is worse off after I came to Australia.
He never have time to ring me up.
And I never have the initiative to call him.
To be exact, I haven't talked to him since I have been here, which is a year.

After watching Meet Joe Black,
I feel so scared and worried suddenly.
Life is full of challenges and uncertainty as I have said before.
Things might not happen at our will.
So I have to cherish every moment and every opportunity that I have.

I LOVE YOU DAD.

Thanks for working so hard to provide such a good environment for me to grow up.
Thanks for showing me your tender love and care.
Thanks for being my dad.
Please take care of yourself.
And drink less beer.
I LOVE YOU MY DEAR DAD.

""finally...:]

:: Decoration outside Peninsula Hong Kong ::

Maybe it is a bit too early,
but I am so happy that finally...
Finally Christmas is here.
I can feel it in all the shopping malls.

I love Christmas.
Because it's a festival of LOVE!
At x'mas, you will feel that you are surrounded by laughters, warmth and love!

Love actually is all around you:]
As Billy Mack said in the film Love Actually,

"Christmas is the time to be with the people you love".

So share your love with the people you love!
They are not necessarily your boyfriend or girlfriend.
They can be your beloved family, your friends or even your teachers.
Show them your care and love by giving them a call or sending a card to them occasionally.
Even an sms will do.
You will be suprised how much happiness you can get from this actions:]

""secrets and lies

:: Secrets and Lies ::
_directed by Mike Leigh_

I watched this film during my english literature lesson when I was still in high school.
Frankly speaking, it is really a boring movie.
And even up till now, I still can't get why is it such a famous film which was nominated for heaps of prizes in the Academy Awards.
What I can remember about this movie is a comment made by my teacher, ms moodley,

"If one has to keep a secret from the others, he/she might has to tell another lie in order to hide his/her secrets."

Isn't it sad?
If everyone has their own secrets, does it mean that everyone has to tell lies to others?
So what about those people who have a lot of secrets?
Do they have to tell tons of lies in their lives?
Is it possible that they forget what they had said?

I never thought this is the case of the real world.
Not until I have come to Australia.
I left my dear family and my beloved friends who I have been knowing since I was a child.
And here I am.
I came to Australia by myself.
Everything here is new, but not appealing.
To me, it is a completely different world.
It's a world full of uncertainty and insecurity.

So I started to hide myself from others.
My thoughts, feeling, and my real self.
Sometimes I tried not to tell lies, but at the same time I would not tell the truth neither.
What I want is just to protect myself.
Yes. I am a coward.
I am afraid of getting hurt or being disapproved by others.
But when I do not tell others the truths, my real thought, am I undermining our friendship?
Creating unhappiness to others is the last thing I want to do.
So does it imply that meanwhile, I am inflicting unhappiness on myself?

I met too many strange people in Sydney.
People who are so different from those I met before.
To me, it seems that they came from Pluto.
I don't know how to get along with them.
But at the same time I don't want them to hold a grudge against me.
So am I in the rightful position to hide my real thoughts from them?
So does it matter if I do not tell the truth to them?

It does matter.
The older I grow, the more secrets I hide.
I found that it becomes more and more difficult for me to make new friends.
Friends that I really trust and can be relied on.
Friends that I can speak to openly without any restrictions or fear.
Is it the reality or is it just my problem?
I don't know.
Do I have to open up myself more?
I don't know.
Is there any right and wrong for this?
I don't know!!
Who can tell?

Become so sentimental suddenly.
I should not be so negative and grey!
Life is always full of suprises and challenges.
Enjoy our life.
Fate is in our hands:]

""the graduate:]

currently watching: The Graduate (1968)

This film was released long before I was born.
But my mum recommended this to me several weeks ago.
She told me that it's one of her favourites.
She said it was really a big hit when she was still a teenager.
And she watched this film with her first lover, the puppy-love-type.
She went on with all her experience in her childhood.
The Beetles, Grease, and her love life.
My mum rarely spoke so much about her past.
Though she doesn't work, she is always so busy.
Busies with the housework, my dad's company's works and all sorts of things.
We seldom have an opportunity to have a heart-to-heart chat, about me, and about herself.
Therefore her past is always a mystery to me.
How did she meet my dad?
How did they fall in love?
How did dad propose to her?
I don't know. And she never tells me.
But THE GRADUATE, bridge the distance between me and her.
It seems that a young mama visualised in front of me, smiling and singing merrily.

Thanks. Dustin Hoffman.
Thanks. Benjamin Braddock.
Thanks. The Graduate.
