HELLO!

I don't know what struck me today but I've a sudden urge to blog. WEIRD.

 I doubt that anyone still reads my blog since it has not been up-to-date with my life.

But anyway, just a rough post on what is going on in my life lately. :)

Mid semester break has just started, but I guess it's not really a holidays to us Monash students.

Assignments and tests are dued right after this break, so it's pretty much a study break for us. :(

At first, the moment when Germaine planned to change her major, I thought I was left alone for all accounting subjects. But, I've made new friends all along the way, and things turned out pretty well :)

I love making new friends although sometimes the process might be a lil awkward. 

Someone told me before, "Wow, you know a lot of people in Uni eh?"

Well, tell me, how would your Uni life be without any friends? Hehe :)

This semester's units are really tough and challenging.

I've the determination to get a better grade to pull up my GPA.

It's week 6, and I can already feel the stress. I wonder how am I suppose to pull it through and get good marks.. 

Honestly, I've been studying whenever I feel like I'm really lost, and I even forced myself to study everyday.

Others only have to read the whole thing once, yet I've to read a couple of times to understand.

And I still feel that my effort is not enough to bypass the things I need to understand thoroughly. 

But I'm willingly to work hard for it. Because I knew that I would regret if I don't. :)

Everyone is busy with their own life, and I hardly get to keep in touch with my friends.

Different uni + different studies + different holidays = different life?

Aww, what a sad equation.

Yes, everyone may be VERY busy, so do I, but I just want you guys to know that I'll definitely make myself free for a dinner just to meet and catch up on things. :)

If only the effort was there. 

These few days, I've been thinking a lil too much on something. 

Something that I shouldn't have to think, something that I intend to get rid off. But, because the day is getting nearer, it's when all the bittersweetmemories came flashing back right before my eyes.

I just wanna let you know.. It's been a year. No, more than a year. 

Anyway, I don't know when's the next time I've the urge to blog again,
so.. follow me up at twitter, @candylovexx :)

It's already the first day of February in year 2012. Chinese New Year had already been 10 days. Note how time flies? Yes, very fast. Have you got your new year resolutions all set? Well, if you haven't, you'd better set it now, and start working for it. Cause, time waits for no man, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like having regrets on things you didn't do better or people you didn't appreciate earlier. Set, aim and head to your goals straight. There might be a little hesitation or lack of optimism at first, but I'm sure with a little determination, you'd have a whole new world out there. As for me, my near year resolution.. well, let's keep it a secret shall we? :) 

How am I these days? 

Well, I wouldn't say that I've been REAAAALLY good, since nothing is perfect. Although things might be a little harsh to me these few weeks (not to say all), I'm pretty sure I will get over them soon. Everyday's a brand new day. Everyday's another new chance for me to live my life to the fullest. Leave yesterday's sorrow behind, and anticipate for a whole new mystery tomorrow. And I'm sure, you'd experience the unexpected, and have a great smile for the slightest matter. Self satisfaction is a virtue. :)

Honestly, I just did a little tearing before I typed this post. Someone just told me something that hurts me badly. But, it was 20 minutes ago. 'Ago' indirectly means it's the past. So why still dwell in the past, when I can have 20 minutes of laughter ahead? OPTIMISM. 

Alright, time to stop blogging.

I've an exam to sit in 9 days time, and I'm still not done revising! :(

Anyways, hoping this blogpost will inspired some of you readers who are having a bad day perhaps.

Again, optimism is the way of living your life to the fullest and it leads to happiness and self satisfaction. 

It's a virtue. :)

Till then! 

2011's a year full of bittersweet memories to me, which I think the bitter ones outbalanced the sweet memories.

2011's been a tough year for me, probably the hardest year.

I've learnt, and I've experienced. I fell, and I stood back up. I've cried and I've smiled.

Well, all I can say is that it's been a heck of a year and the past experiences makes you into who you are today.

A new hair color for a fresh start. :)

And now it's a new year with a new beginning to start, new chances to take opportunity of, new hopes to laid with and new dreams to pursue.

We should not linger around the past, but smile for the future.

 A new year is actually time for reflection and resolution. 

A new year is actually a chance for us to get things right, cause it's telling us that we've wasted our time since it's already a new year to begin with.

So let's cheers to a new year and welcome 2012 with an embrace. ♥ 

And let's create more good memories, with the people you love. (:

I'm really sorry for leaving my blog untouched. 

It's just that sometimes, I'm too lazy to update my daily life.

Maybe, the habit of blogging has slowly been diminished from my life.

Today, this morning, the urge of blogging came back. 

Things been.. probably moderate these days, there're ups and downs of course. 

Been travelling a lot, Singapore on the 2nd week of December, then right after Sg, went to Italy with the family.

And lastly, Christmas Eve at Singapore again. 

If you're interested in the photos I've taken throughout all those trips, please kindly check my facebook. 

Again, I'm lazy to upload those overdue photos here on my blog. Bare with me! :3

There's one day that I went out with my friends, and I kinda talked a lot about life's theories and expectations.

Talking about being optimistic towards everything in life, including the drawbacks.

Friends mentioned that this is so not Candy Low. Well, probably I've finally opened my mind and thought that optimism is the optimum way of living your own life. 

I've been trying so hard to be an optimistic person after whatever is happening throughout the whole 19 years of my life, and I will never stop trying. 

2011's been a tough year for me, a really tough one. This year is full of tears and depression. 

And I really wanted 2011 to end so badly. But, nevertheless, I've created good memories too in my life photo album. 

[I actually typed something in here, but I backspaced it.. thinking I shouldn't reveal anything private in my blog since it's a public blog. Well, I guess I should keep it to myself again.]

And now 2011 has to end with me being afraid having to lose one important friendship.. sigh. :(

A random picture of me in 2011.

Goodbye for now. 

Sigh.. :(

Exam's finally over. And there goes my Year One in Uni.

Well, I couldn't say that I did really well in this semester, cause I know how I did.

Kinda regret for slacking so much. If my results ain't convincing, I can only blame myself. :(

I'm so gonna work harder next semester especially when I officially study for my major subjects, I PROMISE!!

Bar B Q plaza after our final paper :)

Yinyee & Kahhei :)

Feels good for not studying everytime before I go to bed! :)

3 MONTHS HOLIDAYS , HERE I COME! :D

But I'm so gonna fattmou until December. Anyone, date me pls? :(

Or probably I should date with my dramas! Been downloading whole lot of series and movies these few weeks. HEHEHEE :D

"The secret of moving on is not to cut all your connections with each other. The best way to move on is to treat each other as FRIEND."

Till now, no matter how much I tried to put an effort, by the end of the day, it is all in vain.
Well, alright. :) I'm fine with it, and I'll prove myself that I'd definitely let it through, just like how you did. :) 

剩下的只会是当初认识你的友情

Either way, thanks for the good memories. :)

那些年，我们一起追的女孩

You Are The Apple Of My Eye

A Giddens Ko film (九把刀)

Director's Statement (九把刀)

與青春訣別的關鍵時刻，最容易創作出關於青春最棒的作品。

我的青春很快樂很瘋狂，卻也有很多遺憾，這些遺憾是青春美好的副作用，帶著我回到十七歲那年的青春盛夏，看看我們這一群臭小鬼，當年是如何擠破頭追求那可愛的女孩，沈佳宜。

大家都說我很幼稚，但幸好我比大家想像的都還要幼稚。

我找了一群很好的製作夥伴，熱力十足的年輕演員，浩浩蕩蕩回到故事發生的地方，我的故鄉彰化，我的母校精誠中學，我穿過的制服，重現十五年前的時代氣氛。

電影，會很好看。


At that pivotal moment of saying farewell to your adolescence, you are most likely to create the most ravishing work about youth.

My adolescent days were joyful and crazy, but also marked with regrets. All those regrets became the wonderful side effects of adolescence, leading me back to the hot summer when I was 17. Look at us! A bunch of brats! See how we desperately went after the cutest girl in the world, Shen Chia-Yi.

People say I am childish. Fortunately, I am even more childish than any one could imagine.

I put together an excellent production team and a group of dynamic young actors. We went back to my hometown Changhua and back to my high school. They put on the uniform I used to wear and we managed to recreate the vibes and atmosphere of these good old days.

That would make an incredible movie.

Synopsis

青春是一場大雨。即使感冒了，還盼望回頭再淋它一次。

柯騰的一群好友，為了共同喜歡的沈佳宜，不約而同從精誠中學國中部直升到高中部，繼續未完的戀愛戰鬥。

某天柯騰因過度惡作劇被導師處罰，坐到好學生沈佳宜前面，由她代為監視。起先兩人彼此抗拒，但柯騰漸漸喜歡上逼他用功讀書的沈佳宜，沈佳宜也受到柯騰帶來的迥異價值觀深深地衝擊，柯騰展開了追求，沈佳宜則猶豫不決。

高中畢業後，原本快要在一起的柯騰與沈佳宜，卻因為柯騰舉辦的自由格鬥賽大吵一架，遺憾未能成為戀人。

看著一起追過多年的女孩步入禮堂，成了別人的新娘子，每個男孩都得到了各自的成長，也繼續追尋各自的幸福。

Adolescence is like a heavy rain. Even though you catch a cold from it, you still look forward to experiencing it once again.

Ko-Teng has several close friends who had a crush on Shen Chia-Yi. Those friends of Ko's thus moved in unison from Ching Cheng’s junior high school straight into the senior high school division in pursuit of her.

Naughty in nature, Ko was ordered by their homeroom teacher to sit in front of honor student Shen for her to keep close tabs on him. The two hadn't hit it off at first but Ko gradually fell for Shen, who was always pressuring him to study hard. On the other hand, Shen became impressed by the contrasting values Ko represented. Ko started pursuing Shen but Shen remained hesitant.

After graduation from senior high, Ko and Shen almost became a couple but the deal was spoilt by a dukeout competition organized by Ko.

Growing up together to witness their beloved Shen walking down the aisle to become someone else’s wife, these boys have learned their coming-of-age lessons and continue to pursue each’s happiness.

I heard a lot of recommendations of this movie from friends and news. 

I was really looking forward to this movie when it was released in Taiwan earlier, and I finally got to watch it last night.

To my amaze, it is really an awesome movie, a movie filled with love. 

A movie where it would bring you back to your high school times;

or probably the first time you deeply fall in love. 

Watched this movie with excitement, and came out of the cinema with mixed feelings - amazed how the storyline flow smoothly with all those happy, loving scenes portrayed by both awesome actors contrasted with a sad ending. 

I admired how the director, which is also the scriptwriter of this movie and love story portrayed his-so-called-childishness and love into this movie reminiscing about himself 15 years ago back in his high school time with his first love. 

That proves how precious first love is, perhaps. 

Having to lose his youth and first love just because of a mere wrong decision, seeing his loved one walked down the aisle with her bridegroom whom wasn't himself..

Writing his story into a novel and filming it into a movie with one of the highest ratings wanting to let the real 沈佳怡 to know how he felt; this story of his will forever be remembered. 

"You will forever be the apple of my eye."

柯振东 as 柯惊腾

A 20-years-old new actor, and he's actually pretty hot. :P

陈妍希 as 沈佳怡

A 28-year-old actress whom doesn't look like her age at all. At first I thought she was only at her early twenties!

She's sooooo incredibly pretty :) 好正! 

Loving this picture :P

毕业了!

我想成为一个很厉害的人 因为有了我 让这个世界 有一点点的不一样 【而我的世界 就是你的心】

不要告诉我答案，请让我，继续喜欢你

幼稚，就是幼稚 才会喜欢你那么久

This is the part where he should have done. :'( not walking away.. 

if not, the ending wouldn't have to be that way.

也许在另外一个平行时空里 我们是在一起的..

看着他最心爱的人能够找到自己的幸福 他也微笑了..

So pretty :)

This was supposed to be their ending! :( 

This movie inspired me a lot.

No doubt, alike others, I've been thinking a lot back in times throughout the whole movie.

And I came to a conclusion that..

有些事 有些人 一旦错过了 就无法回到那些年的时光了

Please appreciate those around you. And never let them go if you really loved them. :')

"那些年错过的大雨 那些年错的爱情 好想告诉你 告诉你我没有忘记" - 那些年

I've the mood to blog today.
So many words in my mind, and I've the mood to spill it all out here (:

I guess I shall express my thoughts in Chinese (:


从那很顽皮很爱玩一直无理取闹不懂事的小孩
一步一步 慢慢地 长大
经历了许多喜怒哀乐 开心与不开心的事
跌倒了 又爬起来 跌跌撞撞的
没错，有时候真的是很难熬过 很想放弃 不轻易放下 心中的包袱
有时候 很寂寞 很孤独 很无助
但 她都已经走到这一步了
这些经验 对她来说是一种考验 一个成长的过程
时间久了 思想开始不同了 人都跟着变了


这几天，脑海了浮现了很多画面 很多回忆

固执是因为放不下 执着是因为不想失去

也看通了许多 开始学会不要太在意了

'O8

我不想像以前那样了

'11

因为我想重新开始 (:

When life throws you lemon, catch those lemons and make lemonade!

& I will stay cool. (:

人 就是要知足才会快乐 :)

Currently in the midst of an exam period.

Things been pretty hectic - exams, study, revision, stress, hardcore. 

Apart from that, many things had happened in my life these days. 

I'm not sure if it brings any benefit to me, but I'm pretty sure I've been tearing a lot.

Since then, 

I started have negative thoughts again. 

I've been trying so hard to cover those with optimism thoughts, yet in vain.

When I ever needed someone..anyone, I ended up being helpless and alone,

and I couldn't help tearing everytime that feeling struck me.

All I want is a bit of your time.

All I want is a bit of your concern.

All I want is a bit of your love.

i'm sorry to say but I can't really sense it. 

& out of the sudden, I feel like I'm the only one left in my own tiny world;

it's as if everyone left without saying goodbye.

Or perhaps, my existence doesn't even matter to anybody at the first place, yeah. 

Yes, I'm not happy now.

So?
