climb every mountain

I conquered the highest mountain last Saturday.
To reach the Summit, i had to overcome the 10 steps.
It was the most difficult mountain. more difficult than the Everest.

"Climb every mountain, ford every stream.
Follow every rainbow, till you find your~dream~~~"


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Actually, I went to the cyberport cinema to watch a movie. This was the very first time for me to go for a movie after the injury. I thought most of the theatres had their entrance at the back of the theatre. So I booked the seats at the last second row. However, this was not the same at cyberport. The entrance was made somewhere near the screen. So I had to climb the stairs with crutches. Anyway, I made it.

i write therefore i am

I write because I am forgetful.
I write because I cannot organize.

My memory is fading quickly.
Not even myself can stop it.
It's best to jog it down before it slips.

In case I lose myself somewhere,
I still have bits of mine hanging in here.

weekend film club

The weekend film club is on. We have watched some good movies. Thanks to my father's DVD. It did a good job skipping the disc errors.


Adaptation
make sure you get enough sleep before watching

Beyond Our Ken 公主復仇記
Interesting. Must watch "behind the screen". The director makes a very interesting comment about Daniel's role.

Crying Out Love in the Centre ofthe World 在世界中心呼喚愛
Read the book after or before the movie.

50 First Dates
makes you laugh. I like the penguin in the film.

Les Choristes (The Choir Boys)
I like young Pépinot, especially when he showed a very contented smile after his neighbour gave him the answer of 5 + 8.

Bridget Jones's Diary 2
The chorus of "Like a virgin" is the best.

Fantasy fictions

Ordinary people live in the real world. Nothing special or adventurous in everyday life.
This is one of the reasons why fantasy fictions always have their roles to play. In these novels and fictions, we see the characters grow and change. As a bystander, the readers are nurtured themselves while reading the stories.

JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is the classic. I tried to read it when I was in secondary school but I gave it up after reading the first ten pages. Anyway, I still have not picked it up again. The film tells all.

JK Rowling's Harry Potter is not bad. Though most think the teenager Harry is no longer an adorable character. But I like Potter growing into a tempest.

The Books of Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin are adventures of wizards and priests. The most interesting part of Le Guin's writing is that she bring the ideas of Daoism in her stories. Most of the adventure stories put the focus on manhood and brotherhood. But Le Guin has created a heroine who plays a mjor role in the stories. Her creation of this character does not simply show her role as a supporter of the heros. She has a voice of her own.

Le Guin's books of Earthsea
A Wizard of Earthsea. Parnassus/Houghton Mifflin 1968, Ace 1970, Atheneum 1991.
The Tombs of Atuan. Atheneum 1970, Bantam 1975.
The Farthest Shore. Atheneum 1972, Bantam 1975.
Tehanu . Atheneum 1990, Bantam 1991
Tales from Earthsea. Harcourt 2001
The Other Wind. Harcourt 2001

The Pilgrim's Progress -- John Bunyan
a christian adenture. I read it long long time ago.

The Alchemist -- Paul Coelho
About an adventure of a sherpard. The title tells all.About finding the art of alchemist. The treaure is where your heart is.

Chronicle of Narnia -- C. S. Lewis
heard that it was a good book. Young children like it.

Lemony Snicket: a Series of Unfortunate Events
The cover looks like Harry Potter, so I thought it was HP, I skipped it. Maybe the film is good. The webpage is quite interesting. The illustration is great.

Howl's Moving Castle -- Diana Wynne Jones
A very interesting book. The story is mainly about Sophies who does not realise she has magic power. she was cursed by a witch in her willage. Sophie was turned into an old lady and she occupied Howl's moving castle. Quite interesing. Young girls like the story very much.


Chinese fantasy fictions...still haven't completed any one of series. Though my classmates and cousins are crazy about them. I have no energy to "burn" the books as they do.

Today lost in tune

I tried to pick up the guitar chords again.
The whole afternoon, I was tunning the guitar.
The meter told me the guitar was in the right tune.
But my ears could not find the tune.
Today did not sound like today.
I was singing Today lost in tune.

right angled ankle

it's going to be eight weeks after the operation.
the ankle is stiff as weeks ago.
the degree of flexing makes no improvement. Still showing a 90 degree right angle.
The weight training session is quite tough, though it takes just 6 minutes, I felt like losing most of my strength already.

sometimes love just ain't enough

This song was written by Patty Smyth and Glen Burnik. Stepanie S sang it again in her "Start yan-zi". The lyrics is very simple but it means a lot. I still like it even I have not heard the song for a long

sometimes love just ain't enough

I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna use you just to have somebody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
That don't really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walking through htat door
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Now I could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
And there's a danger in Loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

a prayer -- teach me to listen

Teach me to listen, Lord.
to those nearest me...
my family, my friends, my co-workers...
Help me to be aware that no matter what words I hear,
The message is, "Accept the person I am, Listen to me".

Teach me to listen, Lord,
to those far from me...
The whisper of the hopeless,
The plea of the forgotten,
The cry of the anguished.

Teach me to listen, Lord.
To myself
Help me to be less afraid,
to trust the voice inside...
in the deepest part of me.

Teach me to listen, Lord, for your VOICE...
in busyness and bordom
in certainty and doubt
in noise and silence.

Teach me Lord, to listen.



this beautiful prayer was given to me by a dear friend to remind me how to listen.

six weeks after

It is the sixth week.
I learn how to stand on the "bad" leg.
I feel good to stand on both legs again.
But I still have to hang on the crutches.
I have passed level one.

Let's start level two.
another six weeks.
