'X-Men' in ubyssey

Last Friday, when I was walking out from Buchanan building with my friend, he told me an unusual thing happened on that day. He saw a military tank coming into the campus and there were someone setting up background just outside the building. I doubted his words initially, thinking it would be some sort of jokes he usually tells.Then he brought me to have a look.

'Okay.....Okay.... Why were there trucks and all these lightnings???? We both looked at each other with even more clouds above our head.'

We headed to McD to grab some food without any conclusion to be drawn.But still it wasn't a bad day to end up with after seeing something interesting that night.

A few days later, I was told by another friend that there was movie shooting in our uni.After confirming with her on the location, I WAS SURE that what I saw the other day was actually the movie shooting place.

This is definitely interesting to me because I've never seen the filming of a movie before, let alone the fact that it's a hot blockbuster which even surprises me more.I haven had the chance to meet any leading actors/actresses in the movie yet, although it's unlikely to have such an opportunity, let's see if I could bump into them when wandering around the uni.Also I'm trying to figure out the reason of choosing UBC as part of the filming place because I can't tell the speciality about Buchanan building. To me, there are much more panoramic views scattering all over the campus which deserve better attention than Buchanan.

Anyway anyway anyway.

It's still exciting to have seen all these as it stimulates my hyper-ness after the dreadful assignments and tests.

How grand it is the view to have seen buses of mobile dressing rooms queueing in line.

How lively it is to see a crowd outside student union building after 6 p.m on weekdays.

How interesting it is to watch students taking photos at Buchanan building without being stared like a lunatic.

Also, how often can I see a tank on my way to lectures!!

Let's zoom into the pictures then!!








Seems like I now have a reason to wait for the latest 'X-men' to be back in action.

One click a day makes a big difference

Semester 2 has just started 2 weeks ago.It is going to be as usual busy and stressful, so I have to pump in more effort and confidence in myself, feed my satisfaction and achieve my goals. There's an efficient motivation keep pushing my back, which is going back to a place where family and friends belong in a few months time.

A lot has happened for the past few months. Although it often makes me wonder why and how to resolve it, there's a need for me to keep up with my optimism and make more effort to change it. There's always a possibility that goodness pervades reality and I'm believing it. For those problems which are beyond my control, I let it flow on its own naturally,creating its own cycle.Perhaps certain things turn out to be the best when remain silent.

When life gives you a lemon,learn to make lemonade

The lemons of life are not meant to drag you away from the door of success.

When you fail to do something , don't think that you're such a retard. Think of the following opportunities you have to make a greater improvement. When you aren't happy with your life, think of the ways you could do to satisfy yourself instead of keeping your vision blurred by the clouds and clouds of discontentment and unhappiness.

Lemon can be turned into lemonade if you knew how to make good use of the lemon.

I realised that a few of my close friends are slightly carried away by their current happenings and feel that life is dimmed and miserable. My past experiences have taught me about things which third-party has no way to intervene but to remain silent and listen to all these problems.

I know some of you are having lemons of life and trying hard to get over it. I wish I could rob your depression and clear up the mess for you, unfortunately I'm not the one.Yes, I'm not the one. You don't need me to clear things up for you when you acknowledge the happiness you had once been through with certain people and certain things.They were once good and precious to you.

Really, you don't need me because you yourself are powerful enough to master your mind.

When life gives you lemons, learn to make lemonade. Learn to make the juicy lemonade that can quench your thirst and enables you to enhance your creativity to make something good out of it. Lemons are sour initially, but if you were willing to squeeze the juice, add sugar or even blend it with some other juices, it will taste good.

So does your life. Your life doesn't need to be sorrow all the time,a lemon is just a stepping stone for you to pause and look back on negligible things which could be so important to you.

If he leaves you, just let him go. Your life continues...

If you failed your course, work harder and harder until you score it because that's not the end of the story. Your life continues....

If you're currently broke, learn to save money so that you'll be left with at least a penny the next time. Your life continues...

Life continues no matter how much you rant about it. That's why you and I are here, going through different lives everyday. That's why there are so many people living at every corner of the world, working hard to make their lives better. That's why we live a short life, a life that can be shortly exuberant with the right attitude to live it.

Good things may not knock the door and approach to all patient people, only when they're willing to make a step forward and give in to make good things. Most importantly,good things can be created by your own hands.

I just hope that my friends are all happy. We may not meet as often as before,
but I still hope that each of you are content and happy, treat yourself better, be grateful of what you've been put onto. When I notice how much troubles you're going through, I have the urge to fly back and stand in front of your house door and give you a warm hug. No joke for that, but I understand my difficulty, so I remain silent and make the greatest use of internet and postal to reach out to you guys. I hope you know that there's someone who's more than willing to listen to you, hear your cry, say ' jia you jia you jia you' to you everyday. I know I'm not your him/her, but I hope you know you top my heart undoubtedly.I hope.. that it at least brightens you by a little, and you're courageous to walk away to somewhere better. I just wish that you are happy, everyone of you. It's all on you, you make the choice for your life, to stay miserable or to stimulate happiness.

2009 will be a good start if you're willing to walk ,talk, work and keep yourself busy.
