Sweet Battle

The content of the book is not what I expected. I thought it will talk more about difficult circumstances in general; but it ended up talking more about the business side. This book is suitable for people in sales, as there are lots of examples of sales successes. I am kind of disappointed, since the other book I’ve read by this author, “人生，沒有彩排”, was funny and interesting. This one in comparison is dull and the ideas presented are limited. I just expected more from this author.

Finally bought tickets to go to DisneyLand.  I am one of the few that actually wants to go.  We had to find a holiday that is celebrated in Macau, but not HK; so Nov 2 and I’ll be there.  Hopefully, it will not be busy, and I will be able to take some pictures and buy some souvenirs.

Other than that, nothing much had happened in my life.  Still waiting for a job to fall from the sky!  Haven’t gotten any reply from the applications I’ve sent.  Wonder how long this will last as I am getting really bored.  Need to find something exciting to occupy my boring life!

I know! I was just there in May.  This time it’s a free trip though, since I went with an association, who was invited by the board of tourism.  They were there to represent Macau to perform at the Shanghai Tourism Festival 2005.

It was actually very exciting at the parade, since there were thousands of people watching.  It was packed along both side of the street (You can see the crowd at the back of the picture and that’s my sis in the yellow skirt).  They performed a Portuguese heritage dance. There were over 50 other groups from all over the world performing that night.

← The Oriental Pearl TV Tower

Who can say they’ve been to Shanghai without a picture of their famous tower.

I actually went up this time; compliment of the Shanghai Board of Tourism. The sky is quite blurry though, but the view is very nice. To me, it is just the same as the other towers I’ve been to, not worth going up if you have to pay.

Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for moon watching.

← 磁浮列車

Probably the highlight of the trip, as I did not get a chance to go on it last time. At first it was going slow, then accelerated to its maximum speed of 431 km/hr, and that’s fast!!! The ride only lasted 7 min 20 sec, so the enjoyment time is real short; but definitely worth taking.

是一部愛夠之人看到一定會哭的電影。它開始時好象快快樂樂沒有什麼的﹐但到了最後就…..。其實部戲不是非常悲傷的﹐只是它會令你想起自己的夠以哭的很可憐。還好我已經有了心理準備才看啲。

The bad thing about reading this book is that it had already been portrayed into a movie.  While reading, I can only imagine the characters as Sammi, Andy, and Jerry.  I liked the story though.  There’s a lot more to it than in the movie; it touches on different aspects of relationships and some of it is very true.  However, don’t read this book when you are hungry.  The food that it describes are so delicious that it makes you really want to eat.

只想愛你 楊丞琳

我終於還是說了一句我愛你  還記得那個微涼裡天空正飄著小雨
心跳的聲音  像舞動奇蹟

你看著我說千萬不要愛上我  因為你只會讓我傷心別傻了快點喊停
你那麼冷靜  忽遠又忽近

我知道我對你來說也許太年輕  我想我猜我問我終於了解
原來為愛流的眼淚  也是種甜蜜滋味

只想愛你  當我和你走在一起就已經決定  不看不聽不問也不會放棄
是你讓我了解自己  可以為愛那麼堅定

只想愛你  好想每天睜開眼睛就能看到你  我知道我偶爾有一點任性
不管你做任何決定  究竟愛我還是逃避  Sorry我還是不會放棄愛你

She can really sing.  I love her voice.  And I was so excited that FIR were the guests.  Too bad I was so far away.

I found this book very hard to read.  The names are confusing and I have no idea where the cities are.  As well, I did not know the history of the war; so often, I am confused.  However, I liked the story.  It was great to learn more about Kim (the girl in the picture) and the struggle that existed around the world.  She is a living proof of the cruelty of the war and the damage that can be done to an innocent person.

If my grandma is still alive today, she would be 83 years old.  I miss her!

Hail Mary

Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
Blessd art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus,
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now,
and at the hour of our death.  Amen
