the stories that happened yesterday
It is not violence that best overcomes hate,nor vengence that most certainly heals injury...Have you heard of this phrase before?Yes,I read this phrase in the book Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.I started reading this book since yesterday and was attracted to the book like glue(ok,I over-exaggerated a little).The book is about a girl called Jane Eyre,whose parents died when she was very young.She was then brought under the care of her rich maternal uncle(Mr Reed) who lived in Gateshead Hall with his wife and three children but he too died soon after she was brought in.Under the care of her Aunt Reed,she was consistently being bullied in the house,especially by her cousin John Reed.She was always being accused of doing wrong things and was sent to be locked in the red-room where her Uncle Reed died in.The only person who treated her fairly in the house was the family nurse,Bessie Lee.Soon after,her Aunt Reed sent Jane to school in Lowood Institute.In the school,Jane found a close friend whom she always consulted whenever she was puzzled over a problem.The thing that puzzled Jane most is why Helen Burns(her close friend)did not retaliate when being scolded/punished by a teacher.Later on in the book when Jane had grown to the age of 18 years,she became a governess in Thornfield Hall.There,she met the rich Mr Rochester(her employer)and the story continues about her love with him.I find the book pretty interesting as it contains alot of strong phrases and tells about the life of an orphan girl.By the way,if you still have not noticed,the book is an autobiography of Jane Eyre but it is written by an author(so it's still a story).Since it's the June holidays,I recommend you to try reading this book.Why not start now?I started reading this book at the beginning of this June holidays too!

I finally got back my report book!After a long wait of 1 week,I have finally caught a glimpse at my results.I felt so nervous when it was about to be my turn to receive my result slip.You can say I was scared stiff!Even if a gigantic ice-block comes flying towards my direction,I would just stand fixed in my position(just joking,I was over exaggerating a little...).Anyway,I was quite satisfied with my results.At least,my hardwork and fright has paid-off.Now that my fright syndrom of the MYE has finally left me,it's time to relax abit and also brush up on my homework(not to mention my assessment books!).How can I enjoy my June holidays when there is so many things for me to do?There are so many activities that are keeping me busy during the June holidays like Choir practises,the Labrador field trip,camp and even the upcoming Band concert(not to mention the CIP that we have to attend).All these activities can't stop me from worrying about the EOY exams which is speeding through the calender and nearing us(who ask me to be such a 'worryer',if there is such a word that is...).Maybe I have to try calming down myself before the wires in my brain starts crossing one another again...Till then!

Since it's the June holidays and if you have nothing to do,why not sing along with the lyrics I have put up?The song is called Reason by Nami Tamaki and it is the 1st ending song of Gundam Seed Destiny(it's one of my favourite songs).
Reason(Japanese version)
tooku hanareteru hodo ni chikaku ni kanjiteru
samishisa mo tsuyosa eto kawatteku... kimi wo omottanara
machi mo hito mo yume mo kaeteiku jikan ni
tada sakaratteita
kotoba wo kasanete mo wakari aenai koto
mada shiranakatta ne
kimi dake wo dakishimetakute nakushita yume kimi wa
"akiramenaide" to itta
tooku hanareteru hodo ni chikaku ni kanjiteru
samishisa mo tsuyosa eto kawatteku... kimi wo omottanara
setsunaku mune wo sasu sore wa yume no kakera
arinomama deaeteta sono kiseki mou ichido shinjite
kimi ga inai hibi ni zutto tachitomatta
demo arukidashiteru
kimi to wakachiatta dono guuzen nimo imi ga
sou kanarazu atta
sorezore no yume wo kanaete mata meguriau toki
guuzen wa unmei ni naru
yabureta yakusoku sae mo chikai ni kaetanara
ano basho de deau toki ano koro no futari ni nareru kana?
"yasashisa" ni niteiru natsukashii omokage
me wo tojite mieru kara te wo furezu arukoto wo shiru kara
asu ni hagurete kotae ga nanimo mienakute mo
kimi ni au sono tame ni kasaneteku "kyou" to iu shinjitsu
tooku hanareteru hodo ni chikaku ni kanjiteru
samishisa mo tsuyosa eto kawatteku... kimi wo omotta nara
setsunaku mune wo sasu sore wa yume no kakera
arinomama deaeteta sono kiseki mou ichido shinjite
Reason(English version-direct translation)
The further we are apart, the nearer I feel you are.
Even my loneliness turns into strength... when I think of you.
In a time where streets, people and dreams change,
I could only oppose them.
I still did not realize,
That there are things that can't be conveyed even with words.
My lost dreams of wanting to hold you by my side,
For them, you said, "Don't give up!"
The further we are apart, the nearer I feel you are.
Even my loneliness turns into strength... when I think of you.
The thing that pierces the gentle chest, that's a fragment of my dream.
Believe once more in the the miracle that is our chanced meeting.
In the days without you, I've stopped moving.
But now I am walking out of here.
All the coincidences we shared, certainly
They all have their meanings.
When our dreams comes true one by one, and we meet again,
The coincidences become destiny.
If even the torn promises can change into vows,
Can we also change back to the two of us from the time we met at that place?
The dear faces that resemble "kindness".
I can see with my eyes closed, I know you are here without our hands touching.
Even if I can't see the astrayed answers tomorrow,
I carry the truth known as "today" in order to meet you.
The further we are apart, the nearer I feel you are.
Even my loneliness turns into strength... when I think of you.
The thing that pierces the gentle chest, that's a fragment of my dream.
As it is, believe once more in the the miracle that is our chanced meeting.

Yay!My blog is finally,officially done-up!The previous layout did not enable me to put a tagboard up,so I changed the layout into a simpler one.Now you can shout all you want down there.Erm...I also tried to add in the first ending song of GSD.It might take awhile to load,so please be patient:)Even though the exams are over already,the boredom-syndrom has entered to take over the place of the exam-syndrom(for me). It's either I get trapped at home with the television and become a couch potato or I stick to my storybooks till my eyes are glued to them.If I were to go out,the sun would melt me into liquid form(joking) since the weather has become so weird nowadays.Yesterday,I finally stepped out to the basketball court at the Changkat Community Centre to play basketball with some of my friends.Usually,I won't join them as most of the time,the boys would out-number the girls,but Elaine persuaded me to go and and also because the basketball court is within a walking distance from my house.Maybe it's because I have not played basketball for a long time,my bones now ache after the game and my skills were abit rusty.I'm not a good basketball player as I always smack the ball away from my opponent instead of catching it in my hands and I rarely score goals.The players who had me in their team are real unlucky.I had a fun time though,but good times always comes to an end very quickly.I left my friends early as my mother wants me to come home early before she reaches home from work.I truely enjoyed myself yesterday and the fact that I had to play under the scorching sun did not change my mind either.Tomorrow I still have to wake up early for choir practise.'Sigh'...I'll miss my pillow for awhile...Update more later,see ya!!!

To think that my exams are going to be over,I should be happy,glad and overjoyed right? But I'm not.Everytime I think that the exams are going to be over,I would think about the good/worse-to-come future,which is my exam grades!Who wouldn't be nervous?Everybody would be nervous especially me!What if I flunked it horribly,or worse,what if I got last in the whole secondary 2 level?That would be my biggest nightmare...Now I can only try to do better in my art(my last exam and my worst subject) and to hope for the best.Looks like I have to go doodle out some sketches as a form of practice.When my friend Elaine asked me whether i want to go play basketball this afternoon right after the Chinese listening comprehension,I said no and told her my reason for not going(which is to practice art).Some of my ex-classmates laughed at my reason,but I ignored them eventually and just laughed along with them.Ok,that's it for today.Wish me luck for art tomorrow!
