Borrowed this movie back from the library yesterday. As there is almost nothing left to do for PW OP, watched it in class with Qiqi and Denis. At the back says: " If you do not cry after you've watched this, you do not have a soul."
We were joking with that line while watching, until the very end, when Taichi, the main character, brought Helen to the beach and showed her summer. Tears were already welling up my eyes throughout the scene, and when Denis sort of shrieked, they just rolled down without warning. There I goes, crying for the first time while watching a movie... ...
After one very busy year, I seemed to have lost my motivation and my ultimate target that I am working so hard for. After this movie, it seems to rang a bell within me. I want to change lives, whether human or animals alike. I wish to be the lighthouse in the dark, and guide those who have lost their way while pursuing their dreams back. I want to be like Taichi, giving Helen her best times and helping her out of the darkeness, even though life for her wasn't very long. He was her mother... ...
Thoughts continue to run in my mind, but I cannot phrase them into words. After watching it again with my mother yesterday evening, I realised that even her eyes were a bit red. I resisted the urge of crying again by moving away to the bathroom. Today, the howl of Helen is still so vivid now as I share my thoughts... ...
When Taichi's mother finally developed the photos, this weird image struck me once again, and tears start swelling up once more... ...

如果将一个人的生命比喻成太阳的起落,那么我如今,正处于黑夜前的日落。夕阳无限好,只是近黄昏。那短暂的时间,给了我过分的信心,直到发现黑夜将近时,才突然从梦中清醒,但一切,却太晚了... ...
曾经在领导方面上获取让自己十分自豪的成绩,也因此变得自大,认为什么事都掌握在自己的手里,一定会有办法解决。我是一个奉公守法、冥顽不灵的人,宁可与朋友闹翻,也不愿做违背自己原则、触犯校规、甚至辜负老师信任的事。
那时的我,有如中午的太阳,像火伞一般将那一点点权威罩在同学们的头上,热得人人都喘不过气。我给大家添了很多麻烦,也知道自己很不受欢迎。因此,虽然表面上对怨气充耳不闻,但自己已开始不断反省。三思再三思后,觉得犯的错误太大了,下定决心,任期满后,不再接什么领导职位。
太阳不到黄昏不下山。人,或许也一样。不知幸运与否,我没有如愿以偿。但是,我却领悟到“强出头,必先死”的道理,不敢再如鲁莽行事。但,还是出了一大堆问题,令我一错再错、错了又错。
下午的太阳虽然还是那么的热,但却没有上午是受不了,也有许许多多人选择在这时活动。我那时的处境,或许就如下午的太阳。获得了最多的荣耀、肯定,失去朋友、勇气,换取了批评、误解。
事情虽然已经过了,但我仍然带着朋友的一句话,来到了初院。
“伟杰的崛起,就是现在。”
虽然是个玩笑,但我却信以为真,认为我到了初院才是有如太阳一般,缓缓从地平线升起,照耀我周围。果真,受到了领导职位,而且越做越大,至课外活动副主席,是做梦都没想到的。可是,上任后才发现,自己已经力不从心了。我没有以往那样严厉控制、领导。我没有以往的野心尝试独霸一方。我没有以往的勇气面对朋友么的质疑。我不知道为什么会变得这样,也不知道该怎么改,便开始尽我所能,守好本分就好。
面对学业已内心的巨大改变,一切的一切,都不如从前。深思反省甚久,终于找到了一个总结。照在我身上的不是聚光灯,而是夕阳的余晖。虽然耀眼迷人,但却短暂无比。潮起就会潮落。我那些对我而言的辉煌政绩,其实也不过是一朵曾经点缀我人生的美丽云彩,过了就不会再飞回。我一直执著地活在过去,忽略了当下,愚蠢至极点。如今眼前的路越走越暗,夕阳也渐渐从地平线上消失。
我该机须凭直觉走下去,还是等待着下一个天亮的到来?若等待,还会等到下一个天亮吗?

朋友说我像老人,无论兴趣与爱好,都不符合年龄。我不否认,但我也绝不承认。兴趣、爱好,都是经过很久的挑选再挑选,才选出来的。
书,爱读中国哲学、历史、励志等,是因为觉得他们有学习价值。与其看种类繁多的小说,除了文字优美以外,都没什么好学习、领悟的。而且故事根本都不可能发生在这世界上的。何必去迷恋、憧憬呢?
集邮、种花对我而言是一种训练。它们都得耗上大量的时间、精力,是我想用来改掉浮躁的坏习惯。虽然对它们的人是并不是很深,但却喜欢静静地一个人慢慢做。即使花上一整天,我也无所谓。集邮,是将历史保留,实在挺每张邮票后面的故事。种花,是因为爱花。每当看见自己的心血开花了,这何尝不是一种喜悦。而且,还能与大家一起分享,何乐而不为?
有时,却觉得自己像小孩,尤其是在开心的时候。因为一件小事,就能使我开心起来。说的,做的,都很幼稚,甚至连朋友也受不了。如今回想起来,自己也觉得很丢脸。但是,因为不常常这样,所以觉得如此行为,还勉强ok。=)
这应该就是我吧... ...

面具,一层又一层,一层再一层,层层层层,掩饰了真正的自己。它随着场合改变,尽量地做到保护的功效。随着时间的流逝,它越来越多,而我也不知不觉地一一将它们戴上。
如今,内心的自己到底在哪儿,我已不清楚。尝试着努力寻找,也听到他的呼唤,但还是找不着。我无奈地继续将面具带着,掩饰情绪,保护自己,保护周遭的人。在我能找到答案之前,这或许是最好的方法吧... ...

Finish reading the book I Believe You by Low Kay Hwa today. It is the first time I manage to finish a book within a day, 6 hours to be exact. Partially because the book is thin, I am too engrossed with the story that I just cannot let go for a moment.
I love the book to a certain extent, because of these reasons:
- It is a romance story. I am a very fussy reader, and buy/borrow books that are to my liking. Just happened I a mild interest in romance story, so when Qiqi was borrowing it, I borrowed it from her after she finished.
- I have seen 2-3 emails on its introduction. At first I thought it was real (it was stated in the mail), so attempt to search for it. due to school work and exam, I've never spend too much time looking for it, only browsing through book stores when I happen to walk pass them.
However, though it is a rather nice book, there are still some things that I dislike about...
- It's happy ending is touching. However, it seems to be of very little relevance in reality. Hard to find, or rather, impossible for such a story to happen.
- Its plot is surprising, but I find it a little exaggerated. Poor couple...
- The email is fake, the story is fiction. -.-
Nice and touching at first look, but when you realise one thing, you'll find that the whole fantasy just shatter...
Such love doesn't exist...

当大家都在积极备战,准备升级时,我却突然停下脚步。看看左右、看看四周,空无一人,只剩下我,享受着阵阵凉风。南初的环境好静、好美。来了那么久,找了那么久,想了那么久,好像终于找到我真在寻找的答案了... ...
我口头上一直说的逃避,到底是在逃避什么?不是回忆、不是责任,好像是自己... ...

随着升级考试渐渐来到了尾声,我拖着沉重的脚步走出了礼堂。一丝笑容也没有,一点喜悦也不露,完完全全,被打败了。考了那么多年的试,从来没有像这次那么惨。可以说,彻底被击败了。乐观一点看,打仗从来没有真正的胜利者,老师们可能要为我考卷上的答案伤脑筋了。但是,还是到了等待的那一刻,等待命运的安排... ...
我尽力了吗?我又温书吗?这些问题好像常听到,但我从来没有真正给予回答。我觉得,每意义。说有,那为什么考得乱七八糟?撒谎说没有,我不擅长。我说我考试紧张,好像是个很没用的借口。不过,我紧张到四点半就起床等、越做头脑越空,甚至开始冒手汗、阵脚大乱等,却是除了我以外,其他人不知道的。总而言之,我无话可说。
很累,很想停下来休息。不过现在,“休息是为了走更长远的路”是一个借口。一旦休息,就会落后、一旦休息,就再也起不来。没办法,硬着头皮继续走,坚持相信“守的云开见月明”。路,却仿佛越走越暗、越深越冷。
又再跌到了,可是这次,正当要爬起来,却问了自己:“即使再度爬起来,又该往哪里走下去?”... ...
