    been a while

    PA got first again - although the games weren't as competitive as first expected but got to play with Mori so I guess it's not that bad afterall. Mori, a patient, descent, polite, passionate, fun person to be around with. A person who has the ability to make others perform better, been a while where I felt the pressure to play my best, what a rush that was...
     
    a bday from sausages - had a cake with beer, a few laughs till 2 in the morning....and also....the dinner and scarf and ... been a while since I felt .... that things are so "in place"
     
    Just when everything was going rather smooth for me, been lacking some morale in studies after the series of presentations, will need to step bit harder on the acceleration with everything.
    Now that there are no more weekly bball....already I can see the fat lurking up from behind on and around my waist again....might need to do something about that....

    Experiencing the Facebook frenzy~~~

    I've heard about that Facebook is heating up with so many users and that many big players want to buy it, but I wouldn't ever imagine the scale that it has spread around me. I bascially found endless psyc tests and fun applications that you can add, although I knew that they are there in the first place but I didn't quite like the idea of adding them cause it makes everything messy. However, you can compare your result with your friends, making it quite fun and the extend which they went to create these quizes or psyc tests shocked me. It would only take few friends who like to do them and I would get heaps of stuff to play or browse with. The other thing was the photo sharing app, everyone is actually using the app, I have to say, it's the most complete pic viewing app with the ability to blog, no wonder msn space got its ass kicked. You can also tag people on your pic. You can also see what your friends are up to, simaltenously all of them at the same time.
     
    The biggest shock would be seeing recent pics of friends overseas, how much they have changed, like me with my short 3cm hair in march......a very very useful to connect everyone together

    16 teams, September 08

    Dark sky would cover the earth this September spring, the tension of deperation would spread through the air, and the thrist to strive for first shall be grown in each member of the PA. hahahaha, at least that is how I want PAs to prepare.
     
    Just got a call from Deliea today regarding to the original planned tournment in November, that it would be held earlier this time round, but the main focus is to get me ready to return the FIRST place trophy back. (yeah, I know, was it necessary to use capital letters?! YES!!!)
    There would be a lot more teams this year, the few new ones mentioned were, the Malaysian students, samoans and maori groups from uni. The sound of more black people gets my heart pumping, having dealt with somalians last year, 2 steps from the 3pt line for a finger roll at the basket.
     
    During this year's regular practices, I noticed that I lack consistency in quick releases. It has always been a weaker part of my game because I never really played that role before. Well, this time, I want the MVP trophy as well, even if I have to fight it over with my own team mate, T***y!!!
    I shall begin my shooting practices again for the games to come.
     
    Don't know if Joe would still be healthy enough to play then or even...be in CHCH to play, but I am defitnely grabbing Mori to play with us. It has been so long since I was surround with players I respect so much that I would try to maintain my game every second on the court.

    sighs all around me

    I am beginning to think if I am really not a good friend or any other roles I may play in. Been running into really sad incidents recently, I really can't grasp the difficulties of showing the same respect to the people who showed theirs for you.  In my case, I would do the best I can to return the favour(if you have to put it that way), or the least try the best to match the standard that you ask of me. All I am bitching about is that, at least have the decency to show the same respect others have shown you. I personally don't see how hard that can be, treat others the way they treat you!
     
    When I lend a hand out or show good intentions, I don't expect you to get a small gift for me each time, I would want you to appreciate it and would come to my aid when I need it. Yes, the world is not perfect, there would be many occasions where you want to help but you have other obligations or stuff you may be stuck on, it's ok if you made it clear at the start that you won't be able to help , but if you have given your word to me, you should honor that, becuase I don't take these things lightly and I don't think anyone would.
     
    I mean I am not a blood sucking and flesh eating monster, mishappens do happen I know, I screw up too but I would either make it up or prefect the next opportunity you provide me with. Leaving it just like that or still being so careless would be the worst I can imagine, that someone I trust would treat me like that.
     
    It would seem childish and resentful if I would draw down the hard line of "I will just treat you how you treated me" everytime you don't appreciate me, but hell that would beat being plain stupid or being looked down upon. Seriously, I have had enough of being treated like a sand bag, whenever needed I would build solid walls but if not I am thrown in the corner of the room.
     
    Another thing I don't get is Canterbury gym. You charge students who don't earn full time income $120 for membership and as for full time staff $75. That is a new low for you guys!!!
    What the hell does that mean? cause there are bound to be more students so charge more in that pool of fish?!

    吐く息

    A day in the gm

    Looking back now, the first time ever I thought about taking on weights was when Ang was talking to me about how some guys with lots money to treat girls but he uses his body physique, hahahaha....
     
    Motivation
    • end of 05 when I saw my brothers' gym result ->50%
    • want more upper body strength for basketball -> 30%
    • want to look better -> 20%

    This triumph (still going strong...) started back on 16th of January 2006. Went to gym with Brian and first time to the weights room. Started to try different stuff with him explaining to me which works out what. Working my way up the rack. Now, I have even brought on a few gym mates.

    My routine

    • Dumbells
    • bench press for chest, warm up set, 24s
    • 2 sets of 28.5s
    • tilted up bench press for upper chest, 3 sets of 26s
    • sitting upright for shoulders, 3 sets of 23.5s
    • Bar Weight
    • lifting them to chin height for shoulders and triceps, 3 sets of 33.5
    • Bicep Chair
    • lifting bar weight for biceps, 3 sets of 33
    • Dumbells
    • tilted down bench press for lower chest, 3 sets of 23.5s
    • lifting weights off the ground for back, 3 sets of 23.5
    • Bar bench press
    • for upper body muscle growth, 2 sets of 80

    In the end, the puffing and numbed arms, not to mention about the soreness the next day, I certainely do not enjoy it, but being able to exhaust myself is a great relieve, mentally and physically. It has become a lifestyle that I have become to really appreciate.(To all the pilots that come along with me, yeah you know who I am talking about)

    ~perplexed mind~

    Having experienced it for the first time has brought me a whole new understanding of myself. I knew how much it weighted before, but could never really grasp its depth.
    Like they say, you will never learn how to swim no matter how many swimming tutorials you read if you don't jump into the water.
    So far, have already proven to me once again that I will only start to appreciate what I have when I have lost it. In the past, having lost my physical mobility made me treasure every step I take when I run and the split moments that everything seems to be suspended when I jump. Wonder how much would I get to peek into this time around?

    office 2007

    Had a taste of office 07 for the past few days.....hm....office has become more friendly to beginners, the GUI is filled with pictures.
    Personally, I still prefer the old style where the display of tools took less space. Only display the stuff I want when I hover my cursour over it, although you still can customize the tool bar nw...but so much hassle.
    Also, the installation took so much more space than 03.
    Never realized that I actually use the ruler thing on the sides of the editing area, making moving bullet points and tabs that much more difficult control.

    Calcium frenzy~~~

    Had cramps on both calves last Tuesday night, although it was very likely caused by the low temperature of the gym, but all others seemed to be fine.
    Read up on cramp causes, think I have enough salt already, so perform calve stretchs, proper ones before ball, but calcium....
    The stories that high school friends keep telling me....."back in high school, when you see an empty yogurt container lying around, you know that Adam was here" and all agreed?!
    Come to think of it....I did have a tub of yogurt every single high school day, hahaha, and a glass of milk each morning. Haven't been doing that since uni....should try to relive that lifestyle again~

    今年一堆人到處跑, 美國, 匈牙利, 奧地利, 法國, 德國, 英國, 義大利, 也把回國的算進去好了, 台灣, 中國, 新加坡, 最近還有一個想去澳洲
    自己去玩實在是有點懶, 以後看看有沒有人說要一起去再考慮看看吧.

    普通的 VS 真正的 朋友

    吳若權寫的兩句話:
    一.主動,被動,不如互動
    二.愛人,被愛,不如相愛
    走在一起, 是緣份
    一起在走, 是幸福
    普通的 VS 真正的

    一個普通的朋友從未看過你哭泣。 一個真正的朋友有雙肩讓你的淚水濕盡。 (tears infront others just not my thing)
    一個普通的朋友不知道你父母的姓氏。 一個真正的朋友有他們的電話在通訊錄上。 (still don't know most friends' mum's last name)
    一個普通的朋友會帶瓶葡萄酒參加你的派對。 一個真正的朋友會早點來幫你準備並且為了幫你打掃而晚點走。
    一個普通的朋友討厭你在他睡了後打來。 一個真正的朋友會問為什麼現在才打來。 (won't be able to reach me anyway...cellphone would be switched off)
    一個普通的朋友找你談論你的困擾。 一個真正的朋友找你解決你的困擾。
    一個普通的朋友對你的羅曼史感到好奇。 一個真正的朋友可以威脅你說出來。 (I have been foced...many many times =.=")
    一個普通的朋友在拜訪時,像一個客人一樣。 一個真正的朋友會打開冰箱自己拿東西。
    一個普通的朋友在吵架後就認為友誼已經結束。 一個真正的朋友明白當你們還沒打過架就不叫真正的友誼。 (Still don't remember whey I punched you Kang, hahahaha)
    一個普通的朋友期望你永遠在他身邊陪他。 一個真正的朋友期望他能永遠陪在你身邊。

    Journey - Angela Chang

    突然在Dav的車裡聽到, 一時想不起來歌名, 又覺得非常耳熟....詞:Corrinne May 曲:Corrinne May

    It’s a long long journey
    Till I know where I’m supposed to be
    It’s a long long journey
    And I don’t know if I can believe
    When shadows fall and block my eyes
    I am lost and know that I must hide
    It’s a long long journey
    Till I find my way home to you

    Many days I’ve spent
    Drifting on through empty shores
    Wondering what’s my purpose
    Wondering how to make me strong

    I know I will falter I know I will cry
    I know you’ll be standing by my side
    It’s a long long journey
    And I need to be close to you

    Sometimes it feels no one understands
    I don’t even know why
    I do the things I do
    When pride builds me up till I can’t see my soul
    Will you break down these walls and pull me through?

    Cause It’s a long long journey
    Till I feel that I am worth the price
    You paid for me on calvary
    Beneath those stormy skies

    When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
    It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
    Cause It’s a long long journey
    Till I find my way home to you.to you

    瀰漫著清淡茉莉花香的秋夜

    感冒比較好了, 禮拜天時覺得吞口水像是在吃刷鐵鍋的鋼刷...不甘啜泣
    禮拜三時就轉變成鼻塞流鼻水了...不過鼻塞也很累, 不時都好像剛跑步完, 上氣不接下氣的, 想說喝杯熱茶~
    同時看到了席慕容的這首詩....
    茉莉
    茉莉好像
    沒有什麼季節
    在日裏在夜裏
    時時開著小朵的
    清香的蓓蕾

    想你
    好像也沒有什分別
    在日裏在夜裏
    在每一個
    恍惚的剎那間
     
    *好久沒打2 3個小時的球...前晚一試, 關節到現在還酸酸的...鼠蹊被Jonny knee 到...又自己抓破眼角...不過還是很好玩

    靜寂又無奈的清醒

    不知道從什麼時候開始, 已經不能像以前那樣隨意的入睡了. 記得...大概15歲以前吧, 只要躺在床上不用多久自然的就睡著了, 稍微累一點的話3~5分內肯定睡著.
     
    現在則是戰戰兢兢的希望30分鐘內能睡著....失眠變的很平常, 很多時候一躺就是三個小時, 躺到頭都昏了, 再起來聽聽音樂看看書直到眼睛疲倦.
    還一度以為把自己操的累點就會好...效果成反比!
    現在大多是等到有睡意才睡....有時拖到好晚....偏偏又諷刺的是大腦超過12點時又鈍, 做什麼都慢.
     
    慢慢適應中, 睡前想著如何操盤三國....至今都還有效, 哈哈哈.
    "別想太多~ 以後的問題與煩惱留到明天"
     
    現在又在想什麼呢? 黃昏, 浪聲, 海水味, 潮濕的草地

    yet another hill to climb and swirl to swim

    之前大夥都回來時大家聚了幾次, PS裡踢足球...瘋狂的吼叫與陣陣的笑聲, good times. 也都擬定了一起去健身打球戶外休閒種種的計畫, 呵呵呵, 至今, 大家的事都蠻順的,
    今年應該會蠻精采的~
     
    我呢.....該努力往前進了...preperation of thesis work has been long but promising, managed to get lots of uncertainties out of the way and all is needed now....is the hard yards of studying and working through all of it.
     
    又碰到了許多麻蠻的事, 以前的疏忽/懶惰.....現在要一點一滴的補回來
    導師蠻照顧我的, 雖說他事多到不行....事情一堆叫別人做, 不過在我迷茫時給我許多建議和選擇, 試著分析利/弊給我.
     
     
    希望現在的劣勢也能被漸漸的扭轉回來~

    口白:楊巧寧

    (在你眼裡 我只是個小孩子)
    (我不管做什麼 你都不滿意)
    (我知道你都不滿意 我只是努力)
    (我只是努力 想要讓你高興)
    (可是你都不開心 我不管做什麼)
    (你都不開心)
    (我真的很愛 很愛你啊)

    這次妳真的要離開了 妳決定這樣放手
    放在心裡的一些回憶 妳說妳不再提起
    我們的愛 無法繼續 有人慢慢的將我代替
    代替我給妳幸福快樂 我捨不得 又能如何

    我們的愛走到谷底 沒關係我會好好的
    我會徹底的選擇逃避 忘記妳談何容易

    我和妳還是站在原地 我聽見哭泣的妳
    我已經盡了最大努力 妳說妳不再考慮

    我們的愛 無法繼續 有人慢慢的將我代替
    代替我給妳幸福快樂 我捨不得 又能如何

    我們的愛走到谷底 沒關係我會好好的
    我會徹底的選擇逃避 忘記妳談何容易

    我們的愛走到谷底(其實我很幼稚 我是很幼稚啊)
    沒關係我會好好的(我只是努力 努力想要長大 想讓你開心而已)
    我會徹底的選擇逃避(我真的很愛 很愛你啊)
    忘記妳談何容易

    我和妳還是站在原地 我聽見哭泣的妳
    我已經盡了最大努力
    這次妳真的離開了
