Lunar Eclipse 16/06/2011

News have been spread around about the longest lunar eclipse and I really wanted to witness it. Astronomy stuff always give me this mysteriously amazing affection.

The best part is that I get to witnessed it from my hostel (The Village, Adelaide, Australia)! Its so spectacular! I don't even need an astronomy binocular, its visible and so pretty. According to ABC NEWS, the eclipse coincided with the northern hemisphere's mid-winter solstice for the first time in almost four centuries. How lucky am I! I don't know when's the next one coming, but I doubt I will be able to see it during winter season again in my life, judging from the history. I was super excited when I saw it, and I AM still feeling super excited about it now, that's why I'm blogging about it now, when everyone's still sleeping =D

Freshly captured :

A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth lines up between the sun and the moon, which then blocks the sun's rays to the moon, resulting in a partial or full shadow across the moon. The red colouring arises because the sunlight reaching the moon has passed through a long and dense layer of the Earth's atmosphere. (source)

It is said that lunar eclipses are extremely powerful events and often bring on life-changing events. Eclipses are never subtle, but rather they shout their news. Another hallmark of an eclipse is that they move up timetables dramatically. No matter what you thought you'd do, you'll probably have to revise your scheme (source). Its a myth, not one that I will believe in. But I guess we can just apply the advises as they are for good anyway: cherish the present, build your future, learn from the past and don't regret! Sometimes we tend to think too much, worrying about this and that, and ended up framing ourselves, hiding our true self from getting out of the box. Present is called "present" for a reason, its a gift, that we should appreciate and fully utilise. Besides, its our own lives, shouldn't we just be brave enough to live our dreams? Well of course there's a limit for it, with the condition that we wouldn't regret it in the future, gotta be proud of it instead.

記得

誰還記得是誰先說永遠的愛我　
以前的一句話是我們以後的傷口
過了太久沒人記得當初那些溫柔　
我和你手牽手說要一起走到最後

我們都忘了這條路走了多久　
心中是清楚的有一天有一天都會停的
讓時間說真話雖然我也害怕　
在天黑了以後我們都不知道會不會有以後

我們都累了卻沒辦法往回走　
兩顆心都迷惑怎麼說怎麼說都沒有救
親愛的爲什麼也許你也不懂　
兩個相愛的人等著對方先說想分開的理由

誰還記得愛情開始變化的時候　
我和你的眼中看見了不同的天空
走得太遠終於走到分岔路的路口　
是不是你和我要有兩個相反的夢

Portfolio Theory Management

Portfolio Theory Management (PTM). This subject is a third year core subject for corporate finance major in University of Adelaide. It teaches us about how to construct a portfolio, different approaches, various indexes, all kind of market and securities! Its a tough one!

When I received the email informing us that the result of Portfolio theory management's assignment is out, my heart beat was so fast like mad! And OMG my result turned out to be so so so much better that I've expected. I couldn't ask for more seriously. The mid-sem test was hard, and I screwed it. So I though I'm gonna fail or pass just near the line for the assignment! Goodness! I'm so freaking happy now... Well, I've put in lots of effort in the assignment but I just couldn't believe this as I truly find this subject very hard and I always feel that the lecture has always been expecting too much from an undergraduate student. Next on I must score in the final exam. Its definitely gonna be tough. This subject is too unpredictable and challenging!

我现在好想回家去

For those that are currently away from home, whether its for studying or working, please be aware that this song will touch the bottom of your heart and could just make your tears roll down...

虽然一直都在坚强地面对人生，独立地到外求学。
朋友面对困境时，还头头是道地给予劝说与鼓励。
其实，在碰上绊脚石时，依然脆弱地哭泣。
无助地任由家人和朋友的影子放肆地在脑海里盘旋。
不是不愿倾诉，而是不知如何言语。

听着“天黑黑” 这首歌，完完全全诠释了我此刻的心情。
好想念爷爷奶奶，于是拨了通越洋电话给他们。
爷爷奶奶都上了年纪，爷爷听力弱，奶奶脚疼。
我对爷爷奶奶的感情是无法描绘的，是很深很深的。
今年是我第四年在外求学了，时间似乎是飘逝的，但回去的日子却怎么那么遥远呢？
第四年了，能回家的次数也逐渐减少了。
回去时，爷爷奶奶对我的影像还会是深刻的吗？
老人家对我的思念是否会逐渐模糊？
我，真的好想念他们，同时好害怕他们会把我给遗忘了。

Stress is hitting on me strongly. Its just so overwhelming. It leads me to think more of my family and friends! Especially my grandparents. They're so old now, and yet I am not at their side. I'm here, so far away from them to pursue my study which now I am having difficulties with. I have been away from them since four years ago and since then I have been spending lesser and lesser time with them. I always have a fear in me, what if they are not there anymore , or what if they're are too old to remember me when I get back the next time. I can't make the time to stand still for them, they are growing older and older each and everyday. I can only pray that I'll always in their heart, just like they'll always stay in my heart, FOREVER.

Happy Birthday!

The birthday boy :

Clement

We had his birthday celebration dinner few days earlier at an all-you-can-eat korean bbq restaurant called Home Valley at Morphette Road. It's around $26 per head and you can order as much as you want, but the drinks are excluded from the price. The food is really pretty good, with a variety of choice. From tender beef, pork, chicken, mussels, squid, to mushrooms and sweet potatoes! They even have seaweeds for entree, I thought its a japanese entree but somehow they have it here. We practically tried everything in the menu for the meat section, except for few chicken thigh thingy!

And at cibo after dinner =D
