sth random FOR MYSELF

tomorrow will be the first day of prelim test...i have been waiting for this test for such a long time...because the a-level is not far away from us...i had been thinking a lot of possibilities about my future, yet these few months i suddenly stopped doing so, part of being overwhelmed with my revision, part of being losing sight of my goals...i have accustomed to the life consisiting of endless tests and reviews and analysis of mistakes and moving on and experiencing the new cycle again and again, so i feel a bit anxious by the fact that i am graduating. The life of univeristy is only one step away from me, and this exam will be the last performance for me before saying goodbye to the naive JC school life. i don't know what awaits me ahead, i don't know whether i can achieve what i want...too many uncertainties too many expectations too many works to do before going up on the stage, this is what my first ever musical competition told me. i just don't my to regret any decisions i am making or those i've made. GOGOGO...though i am not a super gifted child, i believe that there's part of reason for my existence in this world, i shall live up to the best with all my hard work.

REST IF U MUST, BUT NEVER STOP.

BELIEVING IN YOURSELF, YOU WILL BE SOMEBODY.

零度空间

"宁愿 孤独, 懒得再去想谁"

战神的怒吼,

战神的决绝,

让人颤栗,

无法靠近他的零度空间.

可是

谁能透过那层层盔甲,

看到那伤痕累累的灵魂;

谁能发现血腥的背后,

看到那重生的渴望

不愿将自己暴露,

因为无法相信这个缥缈的空间

只愿依赖自己塑造的寂寞世界

用狰狞

像野兽般

捍卫着

怕再次的伤痛

宁愿 孤独

也不愿将自己暴露

黑夜

残酷

是最好的保护

嘶吼

回音

却只给这绝望的黑色

带来无尽的苍凉

不愿回头

不带依恋

一如向前

并不是真的无所谓

只是枷锁越来越沉

令人已无法喘息

无法思索

沉重的步伐

每一步

已耗尽几乎所有

放下伤悲

在沉寂的夜

等待着新的重生

Leprechaun

from Irish Mythology

By nature, Leprechauns enjoy a state of solitude, and are said to be mischievous and ill-natured, with a mind of cunning. Accoring to legends, they are very rich, having many treasure crocks buried during war-time.

Trevor Manuel

Trevor Manuel

-The veteran whose advice will reshape the

global economic order

"Books have been written about how 27 years in jail prepared Nelson Mandela for reconciliation and not revenge. Well, prison bestowed similar pragmatism on Trevor Manuel-the Finance Ministor of South Africa." -TIME

Grown up under the apartheid racial-classification system, Manuel witnessed numerous cases in which people around him was easily differentiated and discriminated by the colour of skin. In the 1970s, he gravitated towards Steve Biko's black-consciousness movement (to"become a revolutionary with a big beardand a big gun")and then joined the African National Congress guerrilas in exile. After that, Manuel was incarcerated by the authorities for years until 1989, when he helped the ANC negociate as peaceful and to apartheid after regaining freedom.

As an elected Finance Minister, Trevor Manule has successfully led South Africa from bust to boom by adopting sound and efficacious policies. His capabilities and achievements have unwittingly made him as an indispensable catalyst in consolidating the public confidence in the local market Here is an interesting anecdote of him. When Manuel, 53, resigned on Sept 23 last year, the Johannesburg Stock Exchange fell 4% in minutes though the news of his departure was eventually proved to be rumors. When that was explained publicly, the markets recovered quickly.

In the global stage, Trevor Manuel is also an eminent figure and persuasive enough to win the ears of poweful leaders. The main point he has been trying to argue is that to truly resolve the crisis, every member involved has to give up somthing for the interest of the whole.

"May be that is not a bad message for the G20 meeings in London".
