Progression onto final year

I haven't been updating this in a while, due to some difficulties and some busy schedule. 

But for now, I have moved my personal belongings into my new apartment and also to break the news that I have successfully progressed onto my final year at university. 

This will mean, I will need to be slightly more "responsible" haha. But yes, my modules will be: 

* Dissertation
* Global Marketing
* International Trade Law
* Mandarin
* Strategic Management

I am hoping I will be able to complete this year and graduate with at least a 2:1 classification. But I am also sticking to my own personal goal of aiming for my first class degree. There is still hope. I am sure I will be able to succeed providing I believe in myself.

The rain falls on my windows

"The rain falls on my windows
And the coldness runs through my soul
When the rain falls, oh the rain falls
I don't want to be alone.."

A Utada Hikaru song. "Come back to me"

Yo! Sushi

Today I woke up late in the afternoon and did my usual, then I was craving for some cupcakes. Due to not having any ingredients at home recently I went to my local shopping centre for some. To my horror there was not any.

I was feeling hungry so I stumbled across to my old work place which was Yo! Sushi. It was great seein some familiar faces but it has been two years since I worked there and things were different. New people, new menu and a different way of working.

People change. Work places change. But sometimes what doesn't change is the taste of food and the smiles of people who you once worked with through the tough and demanding times.

Life and loneliness

How can one person determine another person's worthiness if they have not taken a walk in their shoes?

Life is short. The second you born you are welcomed into this world but at the same time, behind all the welcome and joy we often forget that time is ticking and that your life can be taken away. Whether it gets taken away quickly or slowly it will get taken away eventually.

How do people judge another person's life? Happy? Or sad? Rich? Or poor? Surrounded by people or alone? Behind every lonely person is a story, and behind every popular person could be smiles and laughter but also an upsetting story that is disguised by the surrounded "happiness".

Life is precious. There is no doubt in that fact. Our lives belong not only to ourselves but also to our parents who fought to bring us to this world. Their hard work, patience and fear is proven.

But what happens when you are down? This world is getting shadier in my eyes, and it is true. I am lonely. I have a set of good friends and a good family and a precious relationship, I am not struggling to live a normal life yet I feel lonely.

I had tried so hard to fight for something I believe yet people think I am insane or just mouthy for standing up To my beliefs. I feel lonely. I try not to be. I learn new things and take up new ideas and use my time to discover and learn what there is to learn - about life. But I am also struggling to let the "Wing" which is deep down inside me to understand that life isn't actually lonely but it is because I am waiting I be found.

If only I told told myself

Wish I had told
Myself this when I was younger..


男人如果注定是你的,你就永遠不會失去他,如果他不是你的,不論你用盡千方百計,仍然永遠得不到他。當你擁有適當的愛情,遇到適當的男人,你們倆都會在適當的時候知道,彼此是天造地設的一對,會牽手走一生。那個妙不可言的一刻,才是值得等待的,所以逼來的承諾不可靠
兩個人一起久了,女的會越來越愛男的,男的越來越隨便。男的會說女老是胡思亂想,女的就說男已經變了不像以前那麼寵她…其實大家都沒變,只是時間變了,因為彼此關係變親密了,習慣對方,所以不會再像熱戀那樣,女的會胡想,無論如何請不要對愛情偷懶,否則只有平淡.然後矛盾爭吵再到分手。 ——文章

Second Year - Finished



My second year at university has finally finished. No more lectures and no more exams - until my resit at the last week of August. But for now, I am free.


I met a lot of nice people this year, much more than my first year at university. People used to tell me the friends you make during your first year, may not be the same "friends" upon you graduate. It is somewhat true, but I made more friends and I am really grateful. But now I am beginning to worry about results, but that is in mid July so I am fine. =)

Deaf-Mute

I was on the train to Waterloo the other day, I looked up at the advertisements as I was traveling and I happen to notice a charity that displayed about people who are "deaf mute". This means, they are not able to hear any sounds nor can they make a sound themselves.

It immediately got to me, I feel really awful knowing out there, there are people who are unable to hear their partners, family, friends or anything nor are they able to speak or express themselves the way people like myself can.

I really want to work for a charity who help these people, but sadly I feel I am unable to help but to donate money. I feel money can help but not much, actions are better than actual monetary items. But I guess it can help by a bit.

I am very thankful I am able to see, hear and speak. I have to thank my parents. I remember being told when I was born, everyone thought I wasn't able to speak because I was quiet. In fact, I didn't cry at all until the doctors had to pat me, for me to make a sound. If you look at me, I'm not a person to talk much unless I am with friends or family. I get shy. But, I feel very fortunate that I am able to hear someone telling me that they love me and I am able to tell them that I love them too.

1 Year

It has been a year since I had written on here, a lot of things has happened and a lot of things has changed. People change, a new set of friends, another semester, another set of expectations and certainly a lot of new and upcoming decisions due to be made.


I am the type to consider the worse scenarios in order to prepare myself before I take a next step. Reason being if I am aware of the worst and I am willing to face the consequences then I shall take the step. 


I hate to admit my worse however I had failed my accounting module earlier in January which will mean, I am due to take a retake exam in August. I am really worried.


I fear I am not able to progress onto my study exchange in Hong Kong. I fear I fail then I will still be able to progress onto my final year (providing I pass the next 2 at the end of April and the next two exams in May) but I will be required to return after my final year just to study for one module. Which makes my degree a 5 year degree rather than a 4 years.


If I fail this retake, I shall need to forfit my study exchange in Hong Kong to begin my final year and resit afterwards. It is a big risk. I don't know how to face this. Parents are fine with my decision however I can tell by their eyes they are disappointed and prefer me not to fail my retake. I am worried.


Accounting is nothing new to me, I had taken it for 3 years in A Levels and college then, another year at university first year. This is my 5th year and I am not getting the hang of it. What should I do?


I know I need to be in Hong Kong from September onwards, but I fear I may not be strong enough to do so. 1 failed module, gave a lot of problems and considerations to be made.


I hope I can get though this. I hope I WILL PASS the module. I hope everything goes well from now.
