天行健，君子以自强不息

手指不会放松，喜欢按弦而不是抬落，

一二指间距太大，四指放开得不够，

每次到D&A弦，手总是自然地往下走，容易走音，

上弓不够果断，手腕容易使力，

喜欢往下压弓子，

连弓的时候喜欢在后几个音上加力，

轻重掌握不好，没有节拍。。。

尽管如此，我对大提琴的狂热还是没有减少半分！

并且现在拉琴错误少了很多了，努力没有白费，心中也甚是欣慰。

除此之外，假期也就是瞎忙。

Went for Vex competition,

which fortunately not been proven to be a sheer waste of time,

For my science research, I am working with a local from Temasek, pretty sweet, I dare say.

Yesterday I brought a book The Great Philosophers. It cost me a fortune. Still I am grateful I can study the lives and ideas of history's greatest thinkers. 

Plan to wirte a bit book reviews.

Didn't study much lately. I was caught up in a mess!

What a slack lifestyle I am leading!

Looking around, there are files of homework, notes, books, cluttered, unattended.

Feel guilty somehow.

在世间,难逃避命运

Victoria can be lovely,

so much so that the tune of Victoria school anthem can slipped out of my mouth unnoticed, and better still, people around me will join in;

I cheer for one another I know or don't know;

Swapping my two-year company- SNGS' pinafore with my roommate from Xinmin, I found now everything starts anew. Xinmin's uniform is very fit on me. That's good, I can predict what I'll look like wearing VJ's;

People are nice, supportive, and humourous in every possible way;

A small act can be heart-warming, such as,

handing my tiny orange water bottle to me, and saying " Here is your beloved water bottle";

The white-bearded economics lecturer, who speaks standard British English, said,

" I can't believe it when people said they couldn't understand my lovely little accent, I think it is perfect" ;

I went to my newly joined Chinese Orchestra, said I wanted to play cello, with no instrument and no experience at all. They said," That's quite all right. We can teach you. For instrument, ou can use the school one" (Pointing to a highly polished one on the floor, very unlike any antiquated one I conjectured beforehand);

I like the school culture just as I like the school motto-Nil Sine Labore;

The environment is so ideal. It is windy on the ninth floor. Yes, it is, now. Thick canopy of trees almost anywhere.

When I looked out, I can see the vast expanse of aquamarine, undistinguishable horizon, and numerous number of cargo ships.

Extremely near to various hawker centre (a lot of them selling satay, hum, which is superb), as well as the community library (where there are a lot of tables I can study on, lalala)

Now my half-empty bottle seems half-full.

序：此拙作乃余习词第一首。本是要压仄韵的，搜肠刮肚不来，只好作罢。好在平韵读来倒也通顺。

因近日余每于和兴路往来，见昔日慧海图书大厦之址。余常以此钟毓灵秀，实则心向神驰。不想此馆于去年回家时就关门大吉，想来与经营不善和强烈竞争（适临学府书店）都大有干系。借余友梨子一语，此诚一山难容二虎是也。梨子与余意兴所至，携同探访旧址，终见于地下室一小门面。兴奋至极，不迭地踏进门，却是环堵萧然。残书破卷满壁，参考书倒是封面花哨，摊在正中桌上，分外刺眼。意兴阑珊。瑟瑟寒风中，颇有些儒道将亡的心境。丁亥年十一月初四于家中作。

     晓寒轻，雪初晴，踏遍街陌，处处故园情。昨日琼阁萍踪影。萧瑟丛中，黯黯使人惊。      车马乱，大厦擎，歌诗酩酊，不见远山景。倚楼嗟叹意难平。斜阳淡去，无月亦无星。
