Week 11

Finally week 12 is coming and the semester 3 is going to finish. Have you decided what to do for the holiday?
I look forward to this coming one month holiday, but not feeling as excited as last time when I wait for the last semester break. I really want to have a "meaningful" holiday, at least find something concrete to do. For example, find a job or find something to learn.
But still until this moment, I don't have any ideas how can I spend this vacation.

I found it so funny that I even need to find something to "do" in my holiday. Holiday should be a time to relax and take rest (maybe prepare for the next semester). Yet, it seems a waste of time to stay at home and do nothing.

But before the holiday, we still got 2 weeks to go which is the hardest period. Thousands of assignments are waiting for me, but if there is no stress and workload, we wouldn't cherish the holiday.
So, hope that everything would be alright and enjoy the holiday 2 weeks later (a wish for every lovely classmates!!)

Learn something NEW

Since I need to find a podcast for my presentation in class. It is my first time to use iTunes. I have heard about this program for a long time already. Before, I think it is only for iPod, so I haven't use it and try to understand it. However, after I downloaded it, I found it is so interesting, there are so many function in it and it is so informative.

Ha... sometimes I feel that I am not a person living in the contemporary "technological" society. So many new things I don't really know and understand. But it is always good to stay with the latest news and technology. Here, I am not talking about iTunes as I totally understand it is not a new innovation. Besides new inventions, so many exciting things happen around our world everyday. It would be so great if I can have more and more time to try them, then I can broaden my mind and my knowledge.

Sometimes I imagine what would I do if I got more than 24 hours a day, for example 36 hours. I think I would definitely sleep more as I just love and enjoy sleeping. Then for the rest of the time, just spend it with friends, family, learn new stuff and know more about the world. It would be perfect!!!

How about you? If you have 36 hours a day, what will you do?

Being Lazy

Recently, I always have the feelings of being lazy. I don't want to do anything, in-class, after-class, before-class. In conclusion, that is, I just don't want to do anything anytime. I don't want to think and just want my brain free 24hours a day. The feelings is so strange as well as familiar, because, indeed, I have the same feelings in the end of every semester end. Maybe, I am just tired about the assignments and all the workload.

Those assignments: Aborigines, Semiotic, Shot list, Presentations.... never end. They really make me crazy!!

I know I need to go on and face all the work. I always give myself many many excuses that first give myself a little break or rest today and I will work hard on the next day or next time when I have chance since I will have more energy.

I think I need some motivation, but where can I find it? Hopefully my energy and motivation will come back soon. I need you!!

Parents

I have read an article before which talks about parents, it is originally in Chinese:

If you are born in a normal family,
If your parents are still alive.

No matter you are living with them or not,
If one day, you discovered that your mother's kitchen is not as clean as before.

If one day, you discovered that the dishes at home are not clean.

If one day, you discovered that your mother's pot is not shiny.

If one day, you discovered that your father's plants become wither.

If one day, you discovered that the funitures at home are covered with dust.

If one day, you discovered that your mother's dishes are too salty and not delicious.

If one day, you discovered that your parents always forget to turn off the gas.

If one day, you discovered that your old parents lost their habits,
like they don't want to take bath every day.

If one day, you discovered that your parents don't like to eat fresh vegetables and fruits.

If one day, you discovered that your parents like to eat soft vegetables which have cooked for a long time.

If one day, you discovered that your parents like eating soft food.

If one day, you discovered that they react slowly even when they across the road.

If one day, you discovered that they keep caughing when they are having meals.

Don't misunderstand they have catched a cold or a flu,

If one day, you discovered that they don't like going out.
If that day really comes,

I want to tell you, you should realise that your parents really getting old.
Their organs become old and need someone to take care.

If you could not look after them, please at least find someone to take good care of them.

And please visit them frequently.
Don't let them feel that they are being left behind.

Everyone would get old.

Our parents got old before us.

We should think in their position and take care of them,

Then we will have patient and we will not complain.

When parents can not look after themselves anymore, we as their children should be aware,
They may not able to do something even for the basic ones.

It all begins after we were born,
Our parents take good care of us:
Change the napkins, look after us day and night when we were sick,
Teach us the basic of living, give financial support for our studies and entertainments.
Their concerns to us never stop.

If one day,
They couldn't move anymore,
We should change our position, right?
Being a son or daughter should remember
The life of our parents are just like the future of us,
We should show filial devotion for our parents if we have chance.

If one day,
you got old just like your parents, what kind of life do you want to have?
Do yo aware of your parents?

What our parents have done for us are always more than what we have done for them.

So, being a responsible son or daughter, we should treat our parents as good as we can. Actually not only after our parents got old, we should treat them the best right from this moment.
If not, sure we will regret afterwards.
