Alright, since i'm heading towards year 2010 so let me conclude my life in 2009 and write down my wish and resolution for 2010^^
2009
In 2009 and until now, the last few hours until 2010.... i've been a lazy, irresponsible, undependable and unmotivated person and am leading a ''not so wonderful'' life. And im sure i had been giving everyone a headache, especially my assignment mate.
Also, i wanna borrow this opportunity to apologize to all my friends for not being a good, supporting, responsible, caring, cooperate or that i had hurt you or being offensive........ please forgive me.
2010
In 2010, i wanna be a ''new leaf''. I wanna be and i hoped that i can be a good person, a good friend and a good family member. I wish to be more motivated to study and other stuff........and more optimistic towards life（No EMO)
Secondly, ''to never give up half way'' will be my new quote..... and hopefully it will be applied in my aikido and violin training. And thirdly, is to be a better man and i'll try to understand myself so as to improve myself and be more ready to face tomorrow.
To realizes this, i'll 1st change my appearance or sort, to change my old self to a tidier and neater version of me.
As for the wish for entering 2010..... the 1st one will be to find myself a sweetheart. Because my mum is hurrying me and giving me pressure to find a girlfriend. So i guess this takes number 1 priority........ The 2nd wish will be to excel in my studies and also my intra & interpersonal skills.
Lastly, wishing every human beings on the earth( Astronaunts and martians do not count) can have a better life.
HAPPY NEW YEAR and HAPPY 2010 ^^

Hedgehog's dilemma
Often people ask me why i stay single, why i don;t wanna find a girlfriend? The reason is not because i don't want to find one, not because there aren't any good gals available. It just that i don't wanna get hurt that's all. And it's hard for me to get close to a gal.
Just like a group of hedgehogs all seek to become close to one another in order to share their heat during cold weather. However, once accomplished, they cannot avoid hurting one another with their sharp quills. They must step away from one another. Though they all share the intention of a close reciprocal relationship,they just can't avoid to hurt each other.

The Four Seasons
The Four seasons Sonnets, believed to be written by Antonio Vivaldi . There are four concertos to go along with the sonnets, each named after a season. And among the 4 concertos. spring and autumn are the 2 pieces that i enjoy listening to.
Spring
Springtime is upon us.
The birds celebrate her return with festive song,
and murmuring streams are softly caressed by the breezes.
Thunderstorms, those heralds of Spring, roar, casting their dark mantle over heaven,
Then they die away to silence, and the birds take up their charming songs once more.
On the flower-strewn meadow, with leafy branches rustling overhead, the goat-herd sleeps, his faithful dog beside him.
Led by the festive sound of rustic bagpipes, nymphs and shepherds lightly dance beneath the brilliant canopy of spring.
Summer
Under a hard Season, fired up by the Sun
Languishes man, languishes the flock and burns the pine
We hear the cuckoo's voice; then sweet songs of the turtledove and finch are heard.
Soft breezes stir the air... but threatening north wind sweeps them suddenly aside.
The shepherd trembles, fearing violent storms and his fate.
The fear of lightning and fierce thunder
Robs his tired limbs of rest
As gnats and flies buzz furiously around.
Alas, his fears were justified
The Heavens thunders and roar and majestically
Cuts the head off the wheat and damages the grain.
Autumn
Celebrates the peasant, with songs and dances,
The pleasure of a bountiful harvest.
And fired up by Bacchus' liquor, many end their revelry in sleep.
Everyone is made to forget their cares and to sing and dance
By the air which is tempered with pleasure
And (by) the season that invites so many, many
Out of their sweetest slumber to fine enjoyment
The hunters emerge at the new dawn,
And with horns and dogs and guns depart upon their hunting
The beast flees and they follow its trail;
Terrified and tired of the great noise
Of guns and dogs, the beast, wounded, threatens
Languidly to flee, but harried, dies.
Winter
To tremble from cold in the icy snow,
In the harsh breath of a horrid wind;
To run, stamping one's feet every moment,
Our teeth chattering in the extreme cold
Before the fire to pass peaceful,
Contented days while the rain outside pours down.
We tread the icy path slowly and cautiously, for fear of tripping and falling.
Then turn abruptly, slip, crash on the ground and, rising, hasten on across the ice lest it cracks up.
We feel the chill north winds course through the home despite the locked and bolted doors...
this is winter, which nonetheless brings its own delights.
Spring
Springtime is upon us.
The birds celebrate her return with festive song,
and murmuring streams are softly caressed by the breezes.

4th kyu grading
This is my second grading since i joined aikido, but i felt extremely nervous during this grading.
Is it because my uke is not there? or did i not have the confidence in my own skills? Even though i've trained for a longer time, i'm still not mentally prepared for it.
The nervousness increased greatly when Dr leong sensei and Tony sensei suddenly arrived at the dojo. However, i was able to repressed my nervousness and brace myself to face the test with an unknown uke.
During the course of the grading, i did my technique steadily but my breath ran out quickly after i became uke. And while performing sannin gake ryokata dori jiyu waza, i accidently drag my foot against the tatami. And my foot ended up swollen =.=
Well after my test ended, one of my junior told me: ''Hey, you are exhausted!''
And i agreed, my face was all pale. But compared to when i was practicing twaewondo, my face was 'green'.
All i have to say about my stamina is, "wow, my stamina sucks." And i wonder if thalassemia have something to do with my stamina???
And once again, i would like to thanks those people who wish me luck in my grading. Of all of the people i wanted to express my earnest gratitude to Ah shee (supposedly to be my uke) and the one who SMS me early in the morning, although i already woke up...
Lastly, i hope i'll perform better in the next grading!! ^^

The Blue Danube
On the beautiful Danube (An der schönen blauen Donau ) op. 314
Waltz by Johann Strauss
One of the musical pieces that i liked ^^
Danube so blue, so bright and blue,
through vale and field you flow so calm,
our Vienna greets you, you silver stream
through all the lands you merry the heart
with your beautiful shores.
Far from the Black Forest
you hurry to the sea
giving your blessing to everything.
Eastward you flow,
welcoming your brothers,
A picture of peace for all time!
Old castles looking down from high,
greet you smiling from their steep
and craggy hilltops,
and the mountains' vistas
mirror in your dancing waves.
The mermaids from the riverbed,
whispering as you flow by,
are heard by everything
under the blue sky above.
The noise of your passing
is a song from old times
and with the brightest sounds
your song leads you ever on.
Stop your tides at Vienna,
it loves you so much!
Whenever you might look
you will find nowhere like Vienna!
Here pours a full chest
the charms of happy wishes,
and heartfelt German wishes
are flown away on your waters.
