Time mangement~~~
One of my friends has to go aboard to study. I feel so sorry that I couldn't attend the farewell party. Sigh! When do we meet in the future? Will you still remember me and CKL? Many questions are raised. All these are unknown questions. The most important is to keep contact AR!!!!!!!! Friendship Forever!!!
WoW!! I will have a month for holiday during the break of semester. HAHA!! It's cool!!! I think I should plan my time well in order to have a great holiday. I want to visit my sisters and brother!! I miss them so much!!! Hope I can do that!!
The End of November
Time flies, the first semester is coming to an end. Many due dates are coming with stress. We have just finished some presentations. But it seems to me that, my to-do-list never ends.
Last Tuesday, my group finished our English presentation. We all dressed suits that day. That was not my first time in suit. But I was definitely not feeling well at all. Actually, the whole presentation was quite in a rush, i mean the preparation. We did it like in 3 days? I wrote my script, and I thought I remembered it. We had rehearsed, and it was okay I thought. But when I was presenting, I just couldn't help keeping on blahblahblah in my own words at that moment. I couldn't stick to my script at all. And I felt bad. Indeed, I was really really really nervous. I was afraid that, I would suddenly went blank, and stopped speaking, creating dead air. I hoped I was not looking bad, but I am not sure how my performance after all. But I really would like to say thanks to all of my groupmates.
Another thing, I went to watch "Mad Detective" today after the Numerical Skills Lecture. Comments : FANTASTIC! I do not always watch film at cinema, but it worths. People, if you guys have time, go and watch it.
So so so busy
lots of projects have to do, and the final exams will come soon.
I'm not so happy this week,
because i did so so so stupid english presentation this Tuesday.
Anyway, forget it...
The final exams are waiting for me.
Asymptotes we learned in Numerical Skills today are so tough.
Fortunately, i learned it in F.7,
but i still need to strive to do revision,
because i nearly forget it.
After the NS lecture, i joint the Psychology's study group with Po.
This is our first time to join this group.
It was definitely interesting.
Ruby was so gentle, and very attentive to her students.
That's why Po likes her so much...me too...
In the study group, other students gave some funny examples to explain the dissonance theory.
e.g. , If an ugly person dressed so pretty, you may feel that he/she looks more ugly than actually they are.
This study group seems more interesting than i thought before.

2007-10-27
I have the first mid-term test on 13rd October, 2007. This is an Introduction of Psychology test. Although the test mode is the multiple choices, I was very scale. The test has fifty questions, the test started at 10:45 a.m. and the test finished at 12:00 noon. Ruby was sending the e-mail to me on 23th October, 2007. She told me to find the attached file for the Introduction of Psychology mid-term test result in the e-mail. Finally, I only true the 31 questions in the mid-term, my mark is 31. It is not a good mark, because the Average mark is 37 in the test. I think I need to take more time to review the lecture notes.
I was the busiest on 20th October, 2007 in this month, because I have two important things to do in that day. First, I need to do the Numerical Skills test. The test started at 10:30 p.m. and the test finished at 12:30 p.m. But now I don’t know my Numerical Skills test result. Second, I had joined in a workshop; the workshop is talk about how to hypnotize myself. The work shop started at 12:30 p.m. and I finished the work shop at 8:30 p.m. So I was full booking in this day.
This month is very busy, but I think next month will busy too, because I need to finish some assessments and the group projects.
2007-9-30
The day before yesterday is a Saturday, yesterday is a Sunday, today is the National Day. It is a holiday too. So we have three successive day is the holiday.
In this three holidays. My main job is to review my notes. It is because I am not sure I can to understand all the notes, and then, some subjects have many reading give the student read. For example, Thinking Sociologically have some Chinese reading and English reading give students to read. I must spend the time to read them. Reading the article should use the long time, so I read them in three successive holidays. Only reading the article, I must use two holidays.
And the other hand, I am a student. I have the assessments to do, so I must spend some time to do it. For example, Numerical Skills have the assessment give student to do. I use a half day when I do this assessment, but the assessment is not to difficult, I spend more time to do it because it is very complex. There are many steps, when you wrong a step, you must wrong all. So I think that is too complex, but not difficult.So in three successive holidays, I have not go to play, only working at home!

When can i wake up from this nightmare?
There are many protects and presentations that our group need to do during these two weeks: English Oral Presentation, Psychological Case Album, Case Study of Thinking Sociologically.
We have finished the english Oral Presentation . Durinh the preparing, we hate the HKCC computer system very much. We were not allowed to install memory card into the computers so as to save the work. the printers at computer center were always out of order. The computers were not able to connect with the internet suddenly. The computer system made us felt very anger and depressed.
It is very inconvenent for you to extend your four limbs if you were wearing a suit. When I was walking to bus stop leisurely. I saw the bus travelled to the bus stop. I wanted to run so as to catch up the bus, but the moment I started running, the moment I remembered I was wearing a suit. So, I walk as fast as I could. UNfortunately. I could not catch up the bus and saw the bus left the bus stop. I have successfully caught up the bus at the same distance when I was not wearing a suit.
Yesterday, although we used the whole aternoon to do the psychological case album, we could not finish it. I expected the case album was much easier to do because we do not need to search for evidences to prove our point of view. But the fact is we cannot find a suitable case for us to applied psychological theories or concepts.
The due day of the case study of Thinking Sociologically is coming Wednesday. It is a veryhuge project, much bigger than the English Oral Presentation, but we still do not have time and spirit to do it. GODDAM!!!
2007 / 10 / 31
2007 / 09 / 11
There is no lesson in the morning, so I can enjoy sleeping over ten hours.I started the English with a very high spirit. However, when I received the lecture notes, a nightmare began.The first assignment in HKCC is a English group project.The first time I use MSN to chat with my classmates is talking about a group project. It gave me a bad image in using IT. In order to diminish the effect, I need to stop writing my blog toninght, otherwise I will hate IT forever.No, it's just a joking. i cannot give up too early. There are many many assignments, projects and tests we need to face in this coming three months. Further study psychology in university is my clear aim in this associate degree journey.In order to achieve the goal, I must be more hard-working than secondary school. I am still very regret that i had not done my best in A-LEVEL Examination. During the A-LEVEL Examination, i was very lazy and underestimated the difficulty of the exam. But an poor experience would not happen again in my life, I will remember the nightmare and achieve the goal in the near future which is coming soon.
The first English presentation
In that day, the English for Applied Social Sciences lesson started at 2pm, but I went to HKCC at 9am, it was because I needed to have a presentation rehearsal. In that day morning, I and my group member corrected our Project PowerPoint in the computer room, due to computer room was very noisy, so Ivan and Andy borrowed a notebook and we go to a quiet place to have a presentation rehearsal. Although we have to write the note cards, I want to recite my notes by heart, it was because I wanted my first English presentation prefect. And the other hand, a classmate talk to me we cannot see the note cards over 5 times, if you do that, you will get zero mark, so I need to recite my notes by heart. After lesson, we go to have lunch, it was because we have not mood to eat before the presentation.
Dream
Everyday, people dream. Some people will remember what they dreamed, but some will not. Some people will have a sweet dream, but some will have a nightmare. Thousand years, people try to reveal the mystery of dreams, but until now, scientists just understand a little part of dreams. Because dream always seems so secret, I am quite interested in it. This is the reason that I took part in a workshop about dream last Saturday.
In the workshop, I did not just learn what dream is, but more important, learn how to analyze our dream, so that we can understand what our dreams try to tell us. To analyze our dream, first of all, we need to know the pattern of our dream. For example, where are you in your dream, outdoor or indoor? Are your dreams colourful or just black and white? Also, we need to remember the feeling of our dream. That means when we wake up, we feel unhappy, scared or something else. More over, we should try to understand the symbols in our dreams. Symbols indicate something in our dream. For example, telephones or numbers may indicate the relationship with someone. However, dreams are quite personal. That means there is no particular way to analyze the symbols. For someone, telephones may indicate fear as he or she was blackmailed by someone by phone.
As our unconscious mind try to tell us what problems we have through dreams, if we can know the three things that mention above, we will know what problems our body is facing easily.
Judo
I want to learn judo long time ago. However, I don’t have the determination to do that. This semester, I decide to join the judo society, because I just want to learn some skills to protect myself. And at the same time, I can be stronger and healthier. Judo is a sport which emphasized techniques rather than power. So, a guy like me can also learn it.
At the beginning, I am afraid that I can’t learn it well as I am not good at sport and I scare to be hurt. But now, I have learnt judo for a few weeks and I am not afraid being hurt anymore, because I hurt every time when I go to practice. Actually, I quite enjoy my practice lessons. Well, of course not because I enjoy being abused. As the saying goes ‘No pain, no gain’. The wounds are the things which can prove that I have done my best. And I remember one of my friend mentioned ‘Scars are medals for a man’. Now, I think I am too man already.
As I said before, judo emphasizes techniques. However, I am facing some difficulties to apply those techniques in the real situation. When I practiced in the lessons, my partner just stood and did not move, so I could use what I learnt. However, in the competition, the opponent will move, attack and defense. So, I can’t apply what I learnt well. Another saying, ‘Practice makes perfect’. Maybe I can solve this problem after I get more ‘medals’.
The Challenge
As some subjects’ midterm exams are coming soon, I did some revision and preparation this weekend. So far, I am satisfied of the progress. However, I start to worry about one subject. It is Psychology.
I didn’t study Psychology before, but fortunately, I have read some books in Chinese about this field, so I can understand the theories. However, there are a lot of new terms and proper nouns for me to remember, especially the Biopsychology. Although I studied Biology in F6 and F7, I studied it in Chinese as my school is a Chinese medium school. So, I still need to remember the terms of some brain’s structures and neurotransmitters. Also, when I tried to do some exercises, I felt so frustrated that I couldn’t even understand the questions. Therefore, I wonder that how I can answer correctly in the exam.
Fortunately, I am a quite optimistic guy. The problem that I am facing is just a challenge for me. And if I do study hard in the next two weeks, I can overcome it. Actually, I don’t expect that I can get a good result just because I study hard for two weeks. But at least, I hope I can understand the questions and answer what I know.

The post of September
I think that I should be more work hard about reading. All of the subjects have many difficult things to read. If I haven't spend too much time on reading, I know that my exam results will not very good.
I miss my friends, relatives and classmates because I have less time to see them. But I think that they should be understand about me. It is because I always spend time on study. So I haven't time to participate in the relevant activities that can see them. I will keep contact with them by telephone and e-mail.
I feel very nervous because I will have the basketball competition of company in next Thursday. I strongly hope that my team can win in the competition. But I concern with my ability. It is because I have less basketball practice than before. May be I usually spend thime in HKCC, so I haven't time to practise my basketball skill. Finally, I should be try my best to win in the competition. I know that the award is very good.
The post of Octcber
We had two mid-term test before. The first one was the test of 'Introduction to Psychology'. I had too much pressure in that week. I always spent much time to read the relevant text book and the notes. It was because I thought the test was too difficult. Although the style of the test was the multiple choice. I strongly felt that I had try my best to face in this test, so I had no regret. I hope I can pass in this test.
The second one was the test of 'Numerical Skills'. Actually, I am more scared in this subject because I was failed my mathematics in HKCEE. I also failed this subject when I studies in the secondary school. In the past, I should choose to avoid mathematics immediately. But I changed my attitude now because I am more mature than before. Now, I should choose to face or handle it squarely. So I spent too much time to do practice. After the test, I felt I can pass it.
Last week, I met my friends to go to Ocean Park because of the Halloween. That day was my first time to go to Ocean Park at the night. I thought that the feeling was quite good. Actually, I am not afraid the people who act the ghost, but my friends very afraid about this. When we went to the ghost's house, they always shouted and grasp my arms. I also went in the front to protect them. We also took some photos in there, it's very nice. Finally, we all felt happy and more enjoyable in that day.
Yesterday, my best friend, Zoe, went back to Melboune. She hadn't stay too long in Hong Kong in this trip, not enough one month. Although I am very busy lately, I also spent time to have a dinner with her. It was because I have a good relationship with her. She is not stay in Hong Kong now, but I must miss her very much. I will wait her when she come back to Hong Kong next time.
The experience of HKCC
The English presentation of our group was finished lately. The process was quite good. My group members had the good performance. And the audience also gave some feedback to us. So it is worth for us to spend much time on prictice. I hoped that the result will ok. In that day, we also took a lot of photos. I felt very happy because I haven't took photo with many people in a long time.
The final test of semester one will be coming on December. I have much of pressure now. It is because I haven't enough time to read notes and reference books. So I need to spend time effectively.
After the lesson of Self Understanding and Communication Skills on last week, I knew that my classmates also have some unhappy experience. And I am more understand about my classmates than before. That lesson had a good sharing and process.

Flags of Harmony and Unity
23rd September, 2007
Today, the weather is not fine, it is windy and rainy. I arrived the location by bus and the time is 1:50 p.m. There are too many people, the total number of the people is more than 20, 000. Boy Scout has more than 9, 000 people. Too many people were on the sward, it was too crowd.
Meet a mainland student
9th October, 2007
In the Hong Kong Award for Young People (HKAYP) O’ Night, I listened the staffs what they speak. They tell me about the HKAYP’s activities. There are so many different activities; they are about service, expedition, skills, physical recreation and residential project. Then I met a mainland student. She is better than me so much. It is because she speaks English and Putonghua both very well. I also talk with her in English and Putonghua but I used Putonghua
mostly.
The self-protection
I have already joined in three lessons. I learned how to outrun, when I caught by person with hands and arms.
The self-hypnosis
19th October, 2007
I had joined in a work shop about self-hypnosis. The work shop started at 12:45 p.m. and I finished the work shop at 8:25 p.m. The time was too long
I was very tired. Then I had rheum. I saw a doctor on 20th October, 2007.
The post of September
This is the first post of this blog. I did not make a blog before, so this blog is my first blog.
I borrow the first book on 5 September, 2007.I have not been borrowed book. I apply a public library' card and borrow book today. The book is "DOING YOUR RESEARCH PROJECT" and is written by Judith Bell. This book is a guide for first-time researchers in education and social science. I fear I cannot read the book successful.
I watched a film on 9 September, 2007.I watched a film at nine o'clock yesterday. The film's name is 'Shanghai Noon'. It talks about Jackie Chan is a Chinese imperial guard. He has a mission, the mission is about taking the princess to go back to China. This is quite fun. I can listen what they speak, but not at all.
I have a driving test on 11 September, 2007.I have a driving test today. The location is Tin Kwong Road. The time is 3:35p.m. so I leave the English lecture in week 2. This is a new style of examination for me. I am going to review the road in the morning. At the afternoon, I will try my best, but I have not too much confidence.Finally, I only passed a part 2, part 3 was failed. I will do the part 3 again.
I bought two text books on 13 September, 2007.I bought two books with classmates today. The number of people is more than 30. It is because if we are more than 30 people, the discount will be 20% off. They are introduction psychology and numerical skills. We bought 39 introduction psychology books and 36 numerical skills books. This is a big number for me.
I joined the two English activities on last Friday (13 September, 2007) and tonight (21 September, 2007). They are “Take A Break” and “Movie Night”. Unfortunately, I did not watch the movie completely. It is because I want to watch the movie ending.

Warning letters
Every week, I work on Wednesdays and Sundays because there are horse racing on these two day only. However, this week had something different. I did not realize that there was horse racing on the Saturday instead of Sunday. I met my friend on Saturday. When she first saw me, she asked “Why are you here? I saw horse racing on the TV.” I quickly checked my schedule and… OH MY GOD. I should be at work. Therefore, I receive my first warning letter because I forgot to go to work.
Today, I phoned to the Jockey Club asking for my new working timetable this month. Unfortunately, they told me to go to work tonight. Suddenly been told to work. I said I was not going to work this night, then she kept saying "You will receive warning letter." for several times. "You will receive warning letter." "You will receive warning letter." "You will receive warning letter." "You will receive warning letter." OKAY. I know. I know I will receive warning letter.
In fact, my working schedule supposes to be on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays only. How could they assign me to work on the day that I do not need to? They said I would need to work if the Jockey Club makes some sudden changes on the working timetable. What the hell! You know, the sudden change is not in the range of my working schedule. I chose this schedule just because I do not have time to work on the other day. What is the point of choosing this schedule if I still have to work on the other day? Anyway, I receive another warning letter again three days after the first warning letter.
