reading week

It was such a wonderful reading week that I had never had. I remembered that the reading week from last year was horrible. We had to work on 9 assignments during that reading week. I could not believe that I was able to finish all of them. On the other hand, we just have a nice reading week this semester. We do not have a lot of homework to begin with, and during the week, we had an interesting party. There were 15 people in the party. We had hotpot – one of the Chinese traditional ways of cooking. Then we played video games, table football and monopoly. There was so much fun and we all had a great time. It was the most crowded and memorable Chinese New Year party that I had after I came to Canada. However, after having all the fun and rest, we are getting back the business again - our mid-term exams are coming up this week. I wish all of us can pass the mid-terms and finals ,then we can say goodbye to the Leap program and get into the University programs officially.
p.s.: can anyone send me the pictures from the party? I would love to collect them. Thank you very much.

To Those Who Treasure Love

Since the Valentine Day is coming

So, i capture something about LOVE

Hope everyone enjoy it.....

"It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return,but what is the most painful is to love someone and neverfinding the courage to let the person know how you feel."

"It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone."

"Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for that gift."

"There are things you love to hear but you would never hear it from the person whom you would like to hear it from, but don't be deaf to hear it from the person who says it with his heart."

"Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, the romance, and you find out you still care for that person."

"A sad thing about life is that when you meet someone who means a lot to you only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go."

"When one door of happiness closes, another opens but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us."

"The best kind a friend is the one you could sit on a porch, swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like that was the best conversation you've had."

"It's true that we don't know that what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives."

"Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return. Just wait for it to grow in their hearts, but if it donesn't, be content it grew in yours."


"Never say goodbye when you still want to try, never give up when you still feel you can take it, never say you don't love that person anymore when you can't let go."

"Love comes to those who still hope even though they've been disppointed, to those who still believe even though they've been betrayed, need to love those who still love even though they've been hurt before."

"Don't go for looks it can deceive; don't go for wealth, even that fades away, go for someone who makes you smile coz only a smile makes a dak day seem bright. Hope you find that person."

"There are moments in life when you really miss someone that you want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. Hope you dream of that someone.


"Dream what you want to dreams, go where you want to go, be what you want to be coz you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want in life."

"May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy and enough money to buy me gifts."

"Always put yourself in others shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably does hurt the person, too."

"A careless word may kindle strife; a cruel word may wreck a life, a timely word may level stress, a loving word may heal and bless."

"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them with our own image, otherwise, we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them."

"The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the most of everything that comes along their way."

"Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have toughed their lives."

"Love starts with a smile, develops with a kiss and ends with a tear."

"The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches."

"When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling, live your life so that when you die, you're smiling and everyone around you is crying."

A stone

I remember a story... which talk about a stone
This stone is called Kenneth.... he used to live in the up-stream..
He 's very charming and has character..... so everyone loves him so much
However, he makes lots of troubles and argues with lots of people because of his characters
but he swears to god that he will never change himself

During the heavy rain, Kenneth is pushed to the down-stream...
In the processing, he has hit by the others.....
He finds that he has changed a lot when he finally settles at the down-stream......
He is so depressed because he thinks that he is not charming and has character as before

When he looks around, he finds everybody looks the Kenneth... it makes him even more upset....

Suddenly, one of the stones talks to him and ask him what has happened?
Kenneth tells his story to this stone......
This stone says, "it is only the appearance, but inside it is still Kenneth .. isn't it?

Troubles make people stronger.. the most important thing is our hearts

Hope you can understand the meaning of the story...
