还复来
相互的沟通,
是相互的期待,也是相互的等待。
是相互的支持,也是相互的依赖。
是相互的信任,才能成为相互的希望。
最重要的是
友谊是条通往相互心灵的通道。
事实上, 人与人之间的关系都是在信任的基础上建立。
少了这一层(信任),人与人之间
就无法结交,无法交易。
无法联系,无法沟通。
无法等待,也不会有期待。
无法支持,也就不会有依赖。
那条通往相互心灵的通道也随之不复存在。
当一切都无法再维系的时候,
当任何一方已不再看到希望的时候,
任何关系也已到了无法再延续的时候。

a slap in the face
If only life was still as simple.
~~~
I'm getting two versions of the story, and am trying hard not to lean towards either side.
I don't want to believe in version 1 because I will be disregarding the friendship by doubting her.
I don't want to believe in version 2 because I cannot disregard the fact that version 1 came to me first, and by that, although I hate to admit it but, I'm already having doubts.
Whatever they may be, one fact remains: 空穴来风.
Was I wrong in getting her there in the first place?
This is just like crushing my own feet with the rock I held.
A slap in the face.

One by one, why are they all doing these to me?
뭐? 칭구? 웃기시네!
Don’t ever mention that 6 letter f-word in front of me again. That word is worthless.
Take flight 2008. 2009 is waiting in line.

Thank you all for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime..
Received an email today, just wanna share:
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a Godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.!
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you all for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime so....
Maybe . . . We were supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Maybe . . . When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.
Maybe . . . It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Maybe . . . The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Maybe . . The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; after all, you can't go on successfully in life until you let go of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.
Maybe . . . You should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of, and want to do.
Maybe . . . There are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent, a spouse, a love, a friend, a child -- so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real, so that once they are around you appreciate them more.
Maybe . . . The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
Maybe ... You should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.
Maybe ... you should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.
Maybe . . . giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
Maybe . . . Happiness waits for all those who cry, all those who hurt, all those who have searched, and all those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.
Maybe... You shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; don't go for wealth; even that fades away! Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile :-)
Maybe . . You should hope for enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
Maybe . . . You should try to live your life to the fullest because when you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling but when you die, you can be the one who is smiling and everyone around you crying.
Maybe. . .. You could share this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life, to those who can and do make you smile when you really need it, to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, and to all those whom you want to know that you appreciate them and their Friendship.
Lovely message to share! =)

Someone said this to me, "You seem to like drinking."Let me clarify this: I do not like alcohol, but I enjoy going for drinking sessions. Why? Simply because it's the chance to talk, just talk with people whom you'd want to take your friendship further with, as in like from mere acquintance to friends.Also, it is an opportunity to discover, under the influence of alcohol, the personalities that people subconciously, or perhaps delibrately, masked. It may be interesting, but in some cases, appalling too...

我的角度
原因就在于(拍摄)角度的问题。
我潜意识下否决了她确实参与过我人生的事实,我错了。 她不是没有进来过,只是现在 我们在不同的车站下车罢了。
知道欲流泪却不能放声痛哭是什么样的感受吗? 是最难受、最辛苦、需要最长时间平复的感受,甚至比能放声大哭还难受。 也正因如此 当初,不,即使是到了现在 也始终不轻易,甚至是不大愿意敞开这道门。
本来还在犹豫。本来还有些矛盾。 即使认为是我想不开把事情大件化也罢,我不会也不屑反驳。 我不会再等了。我本来就是个自私的人,我决定照会让我舒服的方式来解决最后的束缚。
不论是她先下的车还是我先下的车,我决定从此刻起视她为我生命中的另一位过客。 但是,在我放手的同时,还是得感谢她 参与了我的人生。
虽然遗憾,但经过了这次的“洗礼”,下次恐怕得用撬杠来把门撬开了吧? 哈哈。

《启航》
学生创作,本来就大多是半虚半实,偏偏我的创作在交上去的几年后 实则变虚、虚则变实···
今晚翻出来的这本《启航》,虽勾起了短暂甜蜜的回忆,伴随而来的却是苦涩的记忆···

Randomly random
31. Don't talk to me if I do not want to speak to you, I may get nasty.
32. I never take the first step more than once, if my first step can only get that far, then so be it.
33. I love dark chocolate but not as far as to accept those 100% type.
34. I consider long and hard, but take decisions fast and snappy.
35. My temper comes fast, but takes forever to subside, however, sometimes I may be able to mask it in the presence of people I'm not close with.
36. I hate smokers, not because they look stupid with that white stick, but because my health suffers because of them, and I'm "seriously considering" suing the neighbour living one floor below.
37. If I can only take one item with me to an isolated island, it has to be my laptop and I'll make sure my external HDD is connected to the laptop so that it won't count as a separate item.
38. I chose not to accept those supernatural believes, but I'm still wary and cautious whenever the 7th month arrives or whenever I'm out alone in the dead of the night.
39. I've been to churches and am still in the process of reading the bible, I offer joss sticks and have been eating prayer offerings. I'm agnostic.
40. I believe talkers are born, speakers are trained.
41. Hates it when people claim / assume they know me well, because even I don't know myself well.
42. If given the chance to choose from one of Doraemon's gadgets, I will choose 任意门. Saves travelling time and fees, and of course, just disappear as and when I like.
43. (to be continued...)

Suddenly, I felt like posting some outdated Picty Pics:

Updates for Yi San is finally completed!!! 10 months of filming, 9 months of broadcasting and my relentless "chasing", and 3 months of updating my own little space for Yi San...

pssst... I'm doing "revision" now..... sshhhsss.....

It was only 5 minutes after the ending credits finished rolling before realization hit me: it's all over.
In comparison with the first scene of the pilot episode which started with a bang, this last scene for the drama is almost quiet, peaceful, but more importantly tranquil. I feel at ease, though 心里很是不舍···
~~~
Finally, I see light at the end of the tunnel of my proposed South Korea trip.
Signing up for the elementary course was the first step, $105 for 10 lessons is pretty reasonable, earning money for the trip will be the second.
One of these days, I'm going to step into Incheon airport without a tour guide! How else am I going to visit the filming locations I've seen in dramas if I join tours? I don't think I'll want to visit locations for Jewel in the Palace (though I enjoy watching, but was never a fan) or Winter Sonata only...
South Korea, see you there in one or two years time (hopefully)... Till then, it's more dramas for me! Muahahahaha!!!

"High class" road bully
It doesn't take one who swerves in front of you, gets off his car and starts punching you to be considered a road bully. Apparently some idiots think they can just beat the red lights by honking their way through when there is still a stream of pedestrians crossing and a good 15 seconds left before it turns red man.
I really do have to thank God (though I don't know which one) to be alive writing this now!
SFL4180C-Silver-Mercedes! (Wow, I still remember the license plate number even though I only recited it once) Mercedes don't own the road, all right?! And yes, I'm cursing you now, one of these days you'll be caught on camera!

2 months and 2 weeks
I've been keeping myself busy subtitling and uploading videos for My K-Station, and also updating on the drama I'm currently watching, Yi San. (now Soff, don't say I never advertise ar)
For the past 9 months, Mondays and Tuesdays have been sort of an indicator on my mood for the week, why? 'cos Yi San is aired on those 2 days in Korea! HAHAHAHA!!! I can still remember vividly, two months ago, after watching a particularly sweet episode, the euphoria lasted for the rest of the week!
边拍边播, that's what's good about Korean dramas, it keeps you occupied for months, and more importantly keeps you on tenterhooks week in week out because you'll only get to know the ending when it airs. But the downside is, as an audience, it's physically and mentally draining, especially so for a sageuk (historical drama).
Two more weeks to finale, and I'm very glad that it's coming to a close after all these months. But what follows is a sense of hollowness. Yi San has been part of my life for 9 months, now what am I going to do when it finally ends? Call Soff again to cry? HAHA! That doesn't sound me.
On a different note, something else to update over here at Wintery Spring. (HAHAHAHA!!! don't bother clicking, you'll be redirected here again :p)
Went out with 4-half last Saturday:

Cammy's skills deteriorated with a new camera?
I always enjoy myself in the company of these girls, 'cos I've experienced many "firsts" with them, last saturday was no exception. First time on a nightrider home, what's the term for SBS's? Anyway, it was a bit eerie hearing the clocking of my heels as I walked home, and I still "obediently" waited for the green man before crossing the road. (wa, so proud of myself -.-)
Looking at this photo (grabbed from Cammy's blog), I'm pretty amazed that my collarbone is getting that prominent. I heard that collarbone associates with how skinny you are, so does that means I've slimmed down?
Apparently, the weighing scales agree with the above notion, but the mirror always tells me otherwise. Perhaps I should just use my collarbone as indicator from now on? *shrugs*

I don't really understand tennis as much as I understand football, which is why I don't understand why a lot of tennis players have this irritating habit of choosing balls before they serve, as in, ask for balls from the ball boys/girls (I don't know what they are called), 3 at a time, look and compare, then drop one back to the ball boy, put one in pocket, and use the last one to serve. I mean, what's that for? Aren't all the balls the same? As if if you manage to see with your naked eyes which of the 3 looks rounder or better, you can come up with a better serve. But it's not true, half the time (alright, maybe not as much) it's still a fault. It's about your own skills, isn't it?
But, at least one player don't do that -- Justine Henin.
I remember I first saw her play, 2 or 3 years ago, when I was channel surfing, what caught my attention was not her looks (anyway, she's not as good looking as Maria Sharapova), but that she don't choose balls before serving. She just asks for one, and that's it, that's the one she uses to serve. I know it may seem weird why this little thing can catch my attention, but that was my first impression of her -- a player who is confident, who relies on her own skills, not the balls.
It was only after a few more of these "chanced meetings" that I found out she's actually a top player in womens' tennis, rank no. 1 in WTA, and the more I watch her play, the more I admire her skills because she performs equally well on any surfaces (even Rodger Federer seldom suceed on clay surface). She's not as commercialised as Sharapova or the Williams sisters, she just plays tennis, and wins trophies; very much like Paul Scholes. Maybe she's not that good looking, that's why no one approach her for commercials, I don't know. But she's definitely a true athelete.
Imagine how shock I was when she announced her retirement with immediate effect on 14 May. She's only 25, and still the current world no. 1! Olympic champion, 41 singles titles, including 7 Grand Slams, it's a pity she could not add Wimbledon Open and another French Open to her collection before retirement... But like what she said, it has been a wonderful adventure for her, which is true considering that she has won almost everything...
A true champion who bows out on the high... I'll miss watching her play...

Inspired by Cammy's list of 100 things about herself, I've also came up with my own list. I know Cammy don't like copy-cats, but you won't mind de right?
Anyway, mine is only 30, 'cos I can't think of that much. If there's more, I may add on...
- My name is Lai Kah Man (dialect: Cantonese), 黎嘉敏 (li2 jia1 min3), 이가민 (yi ga min).
- My favourite colours are black, white, and lime green / apple green.
- I'm a conceited bitch. So don't praise me, my head will swell.
- I used to despise Korean dramas, but now I know more about them than any of my friends.
- I'm a Manchester United fan, and I own 5 authentic jerseys as of 2008.
- I'm proficient in 3 languages: English, Chinese, and Cantonese. Currently picking up Korean by watching dramas.
- I'm addicted to the Internet, and am capable of sitting in front of my laptop for the whole day non-stop.
- I'm a selfish person whose awareness for self-protection is at the maximum. So my 36计中的上计is not 走,is 退.
- I watch almost any movies or dramas of any genre, except horror.
- I tend to watch my favourite movies and dramas more than once, except The Way Home, because it's too damn heart-tugging.
- I despise hypocrites.
- I enjoy travelling alone, though I've only done so once.
- My strength lies in my ability to identify my own weaknesses, but sad to say, I don't usually attempt to correct them.
- I don't like crowds.
- I'm a sucker for romance, which is why I prefer Korean dramas to HK or Japanese dramas.
- I prefer Carlsberg to Tiger, I prefer Heineken to Carlsberg, I prefer Erdinger to Heineken.
- I enjoyed life most in primary school, learnt some of the harshest lessons in secondary school, and achieved the most in JC.
- I'm a procrastinator: homework, assignment, exam revision -- last minute.
- I used to wish I was born a boy, but now I'm glad I'm a girl (soon-to-be woman).
- I don't usually wear skirts or dresses, unless it's for special occasion.
- I believe in the saying "期望越高,失望越大", which is why I always try to set the minimal expectations for myself.
- I am now in 彷徨期, don't know what I'm living for, what I'm studying for, what are my dreams, goals, ambitions.
- I'm very interested in Chinese history, especially the Qing dynasty.
- I like Mathematics, only when I'm able to solve them.
- I don't like reading, other than some Enid Blyton (spelling?) and Labybirds which I've read when I was young, the only books I've completed reading are Harry Potter series. (textbooks excluded)
- My friends say I'm strong in languages, even PSLE and GCE O' Levels say so.
- My signature expression is (-.-) .
- I'm asset rich(er) but cash poor, and my room is almost like a junkyard.
- People's perception of me: When I don't talk, I looked too cool, nonchalant, bo chap. When I talk, I'm sarcastic, too blunt.
- I trust my friends a lot (and sometimes a little too easily), but once I lose faith, I won't trust you again.

有人通过电视剧,也有人通过文字来影射身边所发生的事。 经过数千、数万年的变化后,人类变得可悲啊!物质享受虽然提升了,人性却没虽之提升。安于现状,灭亡将在不远处。
There are times when your mind processes in one language, but when you try to put them in words in another language, the meaning may be lost in translation, so I decided to keep them in the original language. But after typing, I realised that in the future when I come back to read this entry again, the above section may not make sense to me...
On a different note, I discover a new software in my new laptop yesterday, and being a video-making-enthusiastic, I went ahead to try it out. But I only managed to try out the subtitle making function yesterday, cos it took a loooooooooooong time to complete. I started around 10+ at night, and only managed to finish creating subtitles for a 24-mins clip by 3+ in the morning! It was great fun though, after seeing the finished product MUAHAHA!!! The clip will be posted over at myk-station sometimes later in the week, cos it was meant for that blog anyway...

BUT...
Something unexpected happened after the presentation that day: Eric praised us! He seldom compliments people, mostly sarcastic remarks, but I suppose our performance exceeded his expectations. However, with regards to something he said during the evaluation, I'd like to make a response here. (of course, you think I'd dare say it to his face? My exam has not even started leh!)
He said something like, "This group actually has quite a number of MVPs, of course, not because I like them, in fact, I hate them............. sometimes, they really pissed me off."
Eric, the feeling is mutual.
Well, of course, maybe with the exception of Andre and N.A.T.O., because Andre laughs even at the silliest joke, and N.A.T.O., well, simply because he's N.A.T.O. -.-
Got to know some people more this term, especially so through this project. Not in quantity, 'cos there's no new classmates, but the depth of understanding. And these made the success even sweeter. "Success comes especially sweet when effort is put in" -- 一点都没错! Even though compared to some members my input may not be as great, but I really felt I've put in more effort than I did in previous modules. Perhaps that's why I'm still in honeymoon period of this sweetness... Finally no more of scavenging for news of North Korea everyday, 'cos I've had enough of Kim Jung-il. But most importantly, NO MORE OF ERIC!!!
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is alien to me, because nothing motivates me more than the thought of not seeing anymore of Eric next term MUAHAHAHA!!!

Life is about...
Life is not about nosying into others' business because silence is golden;
Life is not about explanations;
Life is not about mutuality because it does not exist;
(my) Life is capable of revolving.............
Without real buddies because "两肋插刀" and "交心" is not 理所当然的.
Staying hermit functions best for me, just like it did the last time round.
I'm not upset, or petty, or whatever, I'm just enlightened.

I'm sad because I can't do anything to help. I'm disappointed because it appears that I don't invite confidence. I'm also disillusioned because I think I was being naive when I had thought that the closeness in our friendship was mutual.
The time may have arrived for me to close the door once again. At least I was not sad, disillusioned, or disappointed by these with the 'No Entry' sign still hanging.
