Every Step Counts

  • 今天香港學生會的活動,undergrad竟然是majority,時代變遷喔。
  • are we all subconsciously motivated by fear?
  • after failing my PE classes every year since primary 1…i finally finished all PE requirements in my life!! oush
  • 無得唔gur,DGS d alumni真係個個都gum犀利同有氣質。//中國來的同學都係個個都gum厲害同有野心。暫時找不到任何counterexample。
  • 周公是我的第一號情人,也是我第一號敵人。因為你,我每天都活在不同時區
  • 方皓玟的新歌wont you stand很好聽。是新港產片婚前試愛的主題曲。垃圾片卻配上這麼有情調的歌,浪費。
  • from MITFML: “As an underclassman, I regularly pulled all-nighters to get work done and study. As an upperclassman, I involuntarily pass out each night by 10pm and have to seriously bust my balls during waking hours to get stuff done.

Year 3饑寒交逼的一天

  1. 昨天跟友人到chinatown吃shabushabu,飽暖思睡,才十點多,回到房間跳上床就立刻睡著了。
  2. 早上被哥哥打來的電話吵醒來,說著無聊的話題,講了一個只有我們兩兄妹才明白的gag,笑了兩分鐘。
  3. 外面charles river景色很美,藍天白雲樹枝,拍了一張照。
  4. 然後ss打過來,又是閒聊無聊的話題,不小心又講了很久,5個人的family plan內,不能久聊。
  5. 洗澡,到student center吃午飯。老闆連續三年都例牌的說“靚女,今日又食牛呀?’,‘係呀,同埋珍珠奶茶唔該”
  6. 到athena cluster print lecture notes,也是例牌地ajax, python, pulp, metis, fiber (都為printer的名稱)全部廢晒,燥底。
  7. PE堂,這一次是archery補課,所以會見到bunkie,突然湧現了很多在日本一起玩的時光。好期待星期四把所有pe課K.O.。
  8. 去上finance theory,這個學期的功課全都拜託這位非常有才華的師妹,哈哈。efficient market hypothesis說trading might be hazardous to wealth。我想對health也是吧,容不易心臓麻痺(しんぞうまひ)。
  9. 去stata center的8樓見我的ta聊final paper。我覺得我的ta很像500 days of summer 的Joseph Gordon-Levitt <3。office的白板上寫了一句“this whiteboard is useless”。
  10. 然後由5pm到1am到留在我的新蒲點,24-7 quiet study room。目的是把final paper 改好,submit,然後review一下final的東西。
  11. study room實在太正 (見圖) i)沒有人,好靜,沒有聽歌隔音的需要。 ii)乾淨,沒有餅乾碎,沒有臭味。
  12. 溫先生說他在窗外跟我揮手但我完全無視XDD I am so sorry。但因為你,我知道如何簡單地derive butterfly spread了!
  13. 越來越冷,8點多才發現原來還沒有吃晚飯,走出去饑寒交逼,地上的水都結冰了!!我一邊走,冰冷的寒風呼呼一邊迎面吹過來!!我這個時候才驚覺,一些人會冷死不是開完笑的!!我一邊走,才發現甚麼餐廳都沒有開!!可怒也 (音: call lao yeah~) 吖我快沒有力走下去啦。。
  14. 最後我跑進了kendall square的cosi,叫了一杯熱巧克力,一個我也忘了是甚麼。
  15. 這個時候,爸爸打過來趕緊報告媽媽考試拿了100分!然後我說不夠媽媽厲害,我今天派的midterm也只有97分。哈哈。我說我快冷死了,爸爸又說,為甚麼不穿freshman開學時買那套(重十磅)外套,好貴的。
  16. 吃晚飯後,包裹著暖暖的巧克力,縮起脖子,回去繼續讀書了~~~bot88

//到了此時此刻我還是真的想親手把你煎皮拆骨,替月行動、警惡懲奸!

//my 24.9oo TA: “asking a linguist how many languages he could speak, is like asking a doctor how many diseases he has.”

//my stat professor: “if you don’t want to know what ANOVA is, you can just stand up and leave.”  …
“so why do I have to derive this? (silence..) Well, can you people just not look at me with such blank faces and eyes that say  ‘i jus dont care’ ?”

//a chinese MBA girl next to me in the canteen..:”i am pretty sure New York City is in New Jersey, you don’t believe me? I will google it now for you.”…i hope her interviewer would ask her this question first before anything else……….= =….it’s like saying “u know, Massachusetts Institute of Technology is indeed not in Massachusetts.”

(1) Veil Lifted on China’s Next Top Duo:

Often portrayed as solemn, bland and emotionless in public appearances, the Chinese leaders (習近平 and 李克強)for the first time revealed their humanized personalities and characters. Behind the scene, they are just casual people who enjoy watching Hollywood movies and DVDs. It’s also encouraging to know that they are not blind to the corruption, legislation and the east-west income disparity.

“the level of detail in them could still embarrass Messrs. Xi and Li…” how is it so? (besides the ‘man-made’ GDP claim..but i doubt how non-man-made US GDP is)  the US press has tried so hard to play up the China ‘uncivilized dictatorship’ in all these years. Thanks to Wikileaks… this rare unveiling has already backfired to the US media..while they still arrogantly claim that it is a shame for China.

I recalled my friend from China once proudly admitted how he could take advantage on China’s 腐敗 and 黑暗 as his career advances. Changes won’t happen overnight, it’s still a long way for China to make intrinsic differences on its people’s values and working style (the “soft” asset of the country). At least we should be glad that our future leaders are reasonable people..going top-down..hopefully one day such culture would ripple across the entire government.

Anyways, imagine how difficult it is to enforce policies across a country as populous as China..to rise from ruins of the emperor system amidst the years of wars and revolutions (credit to 義海豪情)..salute to our leaders, coz things could have gone far worse.

(2) 名校教了我什麼——女校生的反思“:

校友都在紛紛討論在Yahoo! 新聞上一篇文章”周日話題﹕名校教了我什麼——女校生的反思“,大家都突然感激母校對她們的改變影響。

曾經也是女名校生的我,雖然會有一定程度的共鳴,但我更強烈感覺到的 卻是筆者在字裡行間流露出的inferiority complex,自卑型的自大。筆者都已經是在社會打滾了十多年的成人了,過了這麼多年還是不能get over 一些幼稚自我的想法。內文一面倒地指出種種不公現象,筆者看不過眼,到了現今還是同樣不屑。

筆者身為記者,具有新聞觸覺,理應看透世事,有能力理性分析事情的twofold,pros and cons。豈能加添自己的不憤,如此籠統地一慨而論,為天下每一個名校生冠上”追逐名利,趨炎附勢”的罪名?”反思“自己的過去,卻還是這般積怨重重,與十多年前的那個“o靚妹”毫無改變昇華,這何來叫反思?勉強可以說是“女校生的童年陰影陳述”,筆者在結尾不忘標榜一下自己的“胸襟之廣“,可悲又可笑。

文章裡有大量沒有必要包括的炫耀細節,讓讀者我摸不著頭腦。目的何在?

“我是班長,自發貼了大堆剪報,發起同學手纏黑布”

“我被編入全級最top的A班”

“中六那年,我被同學選了當Head Girl”

”到今天我最好的朋友,雖然她們不讀報、不關心時事,但都有一顆溫柔的心。“ (這是對自己最好的朋友發好人卡嗎?)

as 一個過來人,如果要我寫我對母校的反思,我只會寫一句話,”Sola Nobilitas Virtus,明德惟馨。”11年在mcs的歲月,那些這些不快誤解,早早就風吹雲散了。況且這種競爭環境又非名校獨有,早已見慣司空,不足為奇。

ありきたりな生活は、退屈だ。

我想去日本。我想去日本。我想去日本。

我想去日本留學。我想去日本留學。我想去日本留學。

我想去日本番工。我想去日本番工。我想去日本番工。

我想去日本住。我想去日本住。我想去日本住。

我想去日本玩。我想去日本玩。我想去日本玩。

我想去日本国内旅行。我想去日本国内旅行。我想去日本国内旅行。

我中意㗎仔。我中意㗎仔。我中意㗎仔。

因為種種既定的constraints & expectations,一一都唔會實現。

內心掙扎了很久,還是forfeit了去日本intern的機會,
就證明我是一個conformist。:(  如果真的選了去東京office,
興奮度應該是現在的一千倍。:((  但如果真的follow自己的意願,
就會變成“不切實際”,“自私”,“任意妄為”,
不理理long-run的小伙子。我自己也過不了“不義不孝”這一關。

不過算了,useless to look back。甚麼都定下來了。
it is to remain as a dream.
if u know me well…
im not particularly interested/passionate about anything other than this.

我承认自己是个懦夫。我没有勇气。
i could never be entirely proud of my choice.

羨ましいわ。夢を叶える人達!

這位在日本讀大學的同學,那位在日本工作的朋友,我好眼紅。><
