Don't ask me what it means ... it is just a direct translation of this cantonese tvb drama that I am catching on Youtube. I have been watching this almost non-stop, yes, if you see me online at 5 am EST, that means I am "busy". Ahhh ... it is so nice to finally have the time to watch these dramas. I missed them for sure.
So, I just watched this particular one called Lofty Waters Verdant Bow by Raymond Lam, Michelle Yip and Rain Lee. It was good, the martial arts and the fighting scenes are up to my expectation ;p. However, the ending is so sad. Well, as with any tvb series, they have a few themes running concurrently. The comedy is pretty good, the action is not bad ... but the love story behind it is so touching in the end.
I really pity Michelle. She loves Raymond so dearly and he doesn't understand it. But when he finally does, she is dead. So, he decides to stay alone as the invincible but lone ranger. Well, most martial arts drama ends sort of this way. Still, watch the last episode. I didn't give anything away here of course ;p
What am I gonna do next? Catch another one maybe.

Spring Formal
We had our Spring Formal recently. Every semester there is at least one formal party for sure. In the Fall, it was the KSG Dean's Formal and followed by the Winter Ball. This semester, we had the Vienna Ball and the Spring Formal.
It was great and turned out to be very entertaining. It started with live jazz performances and free desserts and drinks. Mainly mingling around with classmates and friends. Everybody was clearly having a good time taking a break from finals. It was held right in downtown Boston at the Colonnade Hotel. Some of my friends were really dancing away that night. I arrived a little late but it was ok because when I got there, the party was just getting into motion.
I didn't know my classmates can really party so hard. After the party ended at 2 am, there was an afterparty! A bunch of them actually headed over to a house party held in the basement. Wow ... however, I had enough that night and went back home to zzzz. Definitely fantastic and I am looking forward to the next one.

Wind
If you have read Storm Riders, you will know this character called Wind.
Wind is a happy, carefree and good natured person originally. In order to defeat his enemy, he has to tap into the dark side of the blade martial arts. However, because Wind is good by nature, this causes a constant conflict of good and evil within him. He suffered tremendous instability because of the constant bouts and changes in emotions and personality.
Wind tries very hard to use his kindness and rationality to suppress his darker self. However, it is not easy. Whenever the dark side takes over, his power will increase many many times and he will turn into a heartless warrior. He becomes invincible and destroys his enemies with no mercy. However, when he regains his original self, he will regret his cruelty.
It is very tough to constantly grapple with such conflicting states of mind. How long can a character endure? And what might happen when the dark side of force takes over? Pain turns into anger. Anger turns into rage. Rage turns into fury. Fury turns into vengence. Vengence will deliver the retribution.
Rise a dark knight.

New York Trip
New York, New York. The city that never sleeps. Big Apple, Wall Street, Broadway and Liberty. I made a short trip to New York over the weekend. Hitched a ride from Boston bus station and arrived in the city just in time for a birthday dinner celebration with my buddy Jason. Of course, I also got the chance to hang out with my other 2 buddies - Gene and Jay. Not mention, the after dinner party at K lounge, where I met Naj and Mendel. Both are friends of friends. It was a fun evening.
As always, New York is the party town. People tend to engage in merry making endlessly, as if there is no tomorrow. At K lounge, the girls were just throwing themselves all over the places. Every once in a while, you will get a random girl coming up to you throwing you a hug and taking photos for whatever reason. For us, they claimed since it was my friend's birthday, they need a picture. Hmmm ... nice claim.
I also had the nicest cake I have eaten so far. I never knew that crepes cake are sooooo goood. This one which Gene got for Jason was is filled with cream ... some very tasty cream. Next time, I want one that is filled with Durian cream ... mmmmmm yummy yummy.

Before the sunrise
I fell asleep early tonight. Being lack of sleep for the past week due to heavy workload, I dozed off at around 8.30 pm. Only to wake up at around 2.30 am feeling rather homesick. In the midst of the night, I sat here quietly appreciating the peace and calmness of this town called Cambridge. Sometimes, I do enjoy this kind of moment because it is really soothing for my mind, which otherwise is preoccupied with all the thought activities during daytime.
When I was young, I asked my parents naively, "What do people do when they grow up?" They told me that a responsible adult will do something productive like getting a meaningful job and support his family. I then continued, "How do I make money?" ... hahahah. I was 5 years old then and didn't understand the complexity of life.
When I was a teenager, people tend to tell me, "Enjoy your school years. Enjoy your carefree time. When you grow up, there will be many things to worry about. So, have fun now." I always thought at that time, "What is the big deal? I have my equal share of worries as a teenager."
Then, I reached adolescence. 1998. 20 years old. Many things changed. Financial crisis, the ulgy truth of inequality, the menace of absolute power and the unforgiving selfishness of human greed. I saw that all my life through personal and public lenses. But it reached the peak that year. I became resolved and decided to be who I am to be.
The recollection of all these events makes me cherish my memories. People who have come and gone in my life. My grandfather, my best friend, my loved ones.
Friends who know me know that I am a big Solvil Titus ads fan. The one by Chow Yun Fatt & Wu Chien Lien (fighter pilot), Andy Lau in Indonesia (Bengawan Solo), Anita Mui and Wang Chieh. I think Solvil Titus made a very special effort to capture the very essence of the human nature, spirit and love. One of the best is no doubt this short story:

And good night again, as I am going to bed before the sunrise.
