It's February of year 2013

It's been a long while since I last posted something. I find it pointless whenever I say this. I say this with remorse and somewhere in my heart vow to never leave my blog unattended; however, here I am, repeating my regretted action (and breaking my vow), proving myself pointless.

It has been busy. There is literally no time for what I want to do, I simply want to do too much!

But there are only two focuses that I have for this time.

刚刚看完了华人星光大道二的决赛。总觉得冠军是内定的。亚军也可能是。有一点点太明显了。但冠军选手还是很强,只是,看得出我喜爱的选手也知道(内定的)成绩,所以选歌也选得比较放松。但还是会很支持他!喜欢他的歌声!喜欢她的感动!

接下来要讲些很跳tone的话题。

I woke up early this morning for a charity event: Distribution of Chinese auspicious saying to the neighbourhood around Kennedy Town! I almost could not wake up! But in the end some sense of guilt in my conscience poked me up hard and I literally jumped up from my bed. It was kinda weird for me to have joined this event because none of my friends joined. I was there by myself. I was sorta playing with luck too: to see whether I would see any recognizable faces, you know, just to get a companion. But I was out of luck.

So I teamed up with two lovely ladies and we headed to the streets to give out the sayings. I was mainly aiming at the elderly people. At first I was hesitant. But after the first try, I went on a roll! The first attempt really did the job for me. The first grandma I gave the saying to was so happy to have received the Chinese saying and to have heard what I said. “婆婆,这是我们香港大学写的珲春,送给你,祝你新年快乐,身体健康,蛇年行大运!” That's basically all that I said. And there were really unexpectedly happy! And the looks of joy and bliss on their faces really  brightened up my day! Within probably one hour, my team was done! We were efficient, indeed. But I am more proud of our good deed of bringing happiness to the neighbourhood. I really hope the grandmas and grandpas are happy and have a great Chinese New Year!
