Don't give too much pressure on yourself.
You deserve to treat yourself better.
You, as an individual, do not always need to listen to others.
Just follow your heart.
You have the ability to make the right decision for yourself.
After making it, please do not regret the decision you made.
You need to accept and learn from it.
And next time you can make a even better one.
I always give myself too much pressure as I want to do things perfect.
I also want to try out different things because I only live once.
So, my hobbies have quite a lot.
Playing piano, guitar, singing, ballet, drawing, reading, writing, learning languages...
All my hobbies I have built up for years and years.
But my parents seldom give recognition to me.
Just use simple phrases like "Good" to answer me,
And that makes me feel like my hard work does not deserve rewards.
I feel like they are just perfunctory.
But now I know, as long as I feel satisfied, actually I do not need to care about what others feel or think.
I will prove myself I can do it. And that's what I need to do right now and in the future.

I Look To You
I am a music lover, always listen to songs from different generation.
I remembered when I was a kid, I listened to Whitney Houston's songs.
I admire her powerful and unique voice.
I am also impressed by her perfect resonation and high note.
And that's why Whitney was one of my favourite singers.
I always want to hit the high note just like Whitney, but unfortunately I could not.
Here are my song list that I would listen to when I was a kid:
- 'Saving All My Love For You'
- 'Greatest Love At All'
- 'I Will Always Love You'
- 'Heartbreak Hotel'
When I listen, I would also sing along with it.
Here are the additional songs I would listen in these few years:
- 'One Moment In Time' (Orchestra version)
- 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' (One of my favourite dance songs)
- 'I Have Nothing'
- 'I Look To You'
Recently, I listened to W's song in 2009 called 'I Look To You'.
When I heard W's powerful and amazing voice, I feel peaceful and safe.
My tears dropped when I listened to it.
Especially when I heard the lyrics - "After all my strength is gone, you and I can be strong", I feel like she is comforting me.
Some says W's voice was no longer powerful like before when she sang 'I Will Always Love You'.
But, I still think she got the most powerful voice that touched people's heart.
Whitney, I look to you.
Frustrated
I have an 700-word short story assignment that need to hand in.
Before that, I have already wrote a draft of it.
However, the lecturer said to me that she could not see any messages in this story.
Therefore, I need to rewrite this 700-word story that makes me feel frustrated because it is not easy for me to have inspiration immediately.
Right now, I do not have any idea of what to write.
So, I keep reading some short stories.
Hopefully, I could get some inspiration on those stories.
Hopefully, I could get some inspiration on those stories.
Wish me best of luck!

《繼承者們》 劇集分析
我非常欣賞導演、攝影和剪接，因為他們非常用心去拍攝每一個鏡頭，然後將它們剪輯。
特別想說的一場戲是在第9集的。
事源是男女主角表達了愛意，但女主角不想與男主角再有糾纏，因為她覺得與男主角有天與地那麼遠的距離。
因此安排了一場戲去交代男女主角其實在兩條平行線行走，會相交，但之後擦身而過。
導演與攝影用了9個鏡頭，去捕捉男女主角走過長廊的一刻；剪接則剪了19條片段（56秒）將畫面呈現出來。
1. Wide shot （女主角後方）
2. Medium Close Up （女主角）
3. Wide Shot (男主角後方）
4. Over-The-Shoulder Shot （從女主角後面拍）
5. Medium Close Up （男主角）
6. Over-The-Shoulder Shot （從女主角後面但偏左拍）
我猜當時要補拍這個鏡頭，因為它與第4個相似，但距離遠了一點，女主角偏右。
7. Over-The-Shoulder Shot（從男主角後面拍）
從視覺上看，其實這個鏡頭不太美，因為男主角的肩膀覆蓋了一半鏡頭，亦遮了少少女主角。
8. Two-Shot （從窗囗位置拍）
9. Two Shot （從牆壁位置拍）
《繼承者們》人物分析
我個人頗喜歡《繼承者們》這韓劇，因此有興趣寫故事的人物分析。
男主角--金嘆
金嘆是帝國集團的二公子。
他讀完初中，去了美國加州留學。
哥哥金元叫金嘆不需要用功讀書，只需吃喝玩樂，以及不要回韓國，因為怕金嘆會回來爭奪公司。
即使哥哥這樣說，金嘆仍然愛他哥哥，並聽哥哥話吃喝玩樂，常常去長灘衝浪。
因為吃喝玩樂，他換來加州警方的注意。
有天，金嘆見到恩夕因為錢拋棄妹妹恩尚不顧而去，覺得恩尚很可憐。
恩尚執拾行李時，金嘆朋友Jay搶走她在韓國帶來的豆粉。
因為金嘆的介入，加州警方認定恩尚帶來的豆粉是毒品，同時帶走
了恩尚的護照。
金嘆覺得虧欠了恩尚。為了補償，他讓她逗留他住處。
這可以看到金嘆是心地善良，有同理心的。
女主角--車恩尚
恩尚是一個窮家女孩。
為了脫離貧窮，她一人做三份兼職--送外賣、咖啡廳待廳和洗碗。
她少時的夢想是去美國留學，因為美國是夢想之國。
恩尚姐姐恩夕可以在美國留學，令留在韓國的恩尚產生妒忌。
她不甘心自己那麼貧窮，亦不甘心自己的命運如此坎坷。
恩尚覺得即使她多麼努力工作，到頭來還是脫離不了貧窮。
得知姐姐會結婚，恩尚媽媽將全部儲蓄都送給姐姐作嫁妝。
恩尚任性起來，將匯出來的部分儲蓄買了機票，並告訴媽媽會親自將儲蓄帶過去美國，以還自己的心願。

Short script: Paula
This short script excerpt is talking about Hong Kong phenomenon that I have discovered--people love taking photos like selfie and food pictures through their phones and upload onto social media application to show to others.
In this script, Paula got a 'not so good' attitude which does not mean Hong Kong people are like that.
This character is just my imagination, so no need to take it personal.
Enjoy this script!
“How come we need to wait for so long?”
Paula murmured.
“This restaurant is recommended by
‘OpenRice’, lots of people would queue for it,” Iris said.
Paula got a very impatient look and stared
at the number of the waiting queue display.
“Sure we can eat delicious food when we
enter in,” Daisy said.
“I agree,” Iris replied and smiled broadly.
Paula took out her cell phone and took a
‘selfie’.
To present the photo better, Paula clicked
in the photo editor application, ‘MeituPic’ to fix the flaw on her face. She
removed the acne, whitened her face, and filtered the photo with radiance
effect.
Now Paula got a smile on her face.
Before uploading this photo to the social
media application, Instagram, Paula got to write a caption about that and add
hash tag to gain people attention to her photo.
Although
it is necessary to wait for a long time, it doesn’t matter
‘Cause
we can eat yummy food
Really
looking forward to it XD
#hkig
#igdaily #food #dessert
“Oh, I almost forgot,” Paula said.
“What have you forgot?” Iris asked Paula.
“The location of this restaurant is …” Paula
soliloquized.
Paula located the restaurant’s whereabouts
in her photo.
Iris looked at Paula impatiently but did
not say anything.
“Okay, done,” Paula said and pressed the ‘Sent’
button to upload.
After 15 minutes, Paula, Iris and Daisy
entered into the restaurant.
“Oh geez! We’re like standing there for 45
minutes. That’s exhausted,” Paula complained to Iris and Daisy.
Although what Paula said was exaggerated,
Daisy went along with Paula since she did not want to argue with Paula.
“Yes, that’s right!” Daisy replied.
They then sat in comfortable ‘sofa-like’
seats and started to look at the restaurant menu.
They all flipped the menu and decided what
they should eat.
“Hmm… How about eating the ‘Organic brown
rice with Pumpkins and Chestnuts’?” Daisy said.
“Eww... That’s gross!” Paula answered
quickly.
“How about ‘Beef Burger with Bacon and
Cheddar Cheese’?” Iris said.
“Nah…Too fat for girls and this dish… not
special enough,” Paula replied.
“What do you think then?” Iris asked Paula.
“I think ‘Handmade Linguine with Crabmeat,
bell pepper, caper and white wine sauce’ that one would be nice and good
looking for photos,’” Paula said it with a cheerful smile.
“Paula
selected food by considering good looking for
photos only,” Iris looked at Paula but did
not say it out loud, of course.
When the Linguine was served, Daisy was
ready for eating. Daisy picked up her fork and wanted to mix the spaghetti with
the sauce.
But, Paula stopped Daisy.
“Wait Daisy,” Paula told Daisy.
“I need to take photos first,” Paula
continued.
“Oh the photos thing,” Iris looked at Daisy
and said.
“Alright, just go take it,” Daisy replied.
Paula used different angles to take the
pictures of Linguine.
Closer…wider…more
left…focus…
Wider…closer…more
right…focus…
Iris and Daisy both stared at Paula.
“I am so hungry right now,” Daisy complained.
“Can we eat now?” Daisy continued.
Paula took the last photo.
“Hmm… Now you can,” Paula smiled.
“Thanks!” Daisy said gently.
Iris and Daisy started to eat the Linguine.
They finished half of it, but Paula
still has not started to eat.
“Why don’t you eat?” Daisy asked Paula.
“I need to edit the photo and upload it to
Instagram,” Paula replied.
“There are lots of procedure in order to
upload it. Don’t you know?” Paula continued.
“Okay…” Daisy said.
“The food is getting cold, Paula” Iris
told.
“I almost finish…Wait for 2 minutes,” Paula
replied.
After 2 minutes, Paula was still thinking
about and writing the caption.
OMG!
This Linguine tastes fantastic! I love it!
#hkig
#igdaily #love #delicious #food
“Okay I can eat now,” Paula pressed ‘Sent’
in her cell phone and replied.
Iris checked her Instagram on cell phone.
She looked at both the photo and caption. She felt weird about what she wrote.
“You haven’t eaten yet. How can you know it
is delicious?” Iris asked.
“Fake it up, Iris,” Paula said.
“If it looks good, it must taste good,”
Paula continued.
“What?”
Iris could not hide her disagreement but did not say out loud. She continued
eating her Linguine.

朋友
昨天，面試結束揹著沉重的背包的我在回家的升降機，碰見我的小學同學。
我們邊走邊聊，先是聊聊大家的近況，剛做了甚麼。
我將面試的情況告訴了她，她也將大學忙碌的生活告訴我。
我們的認識是經過我的好朋友介紹，所以我們很自然會談及好朋友的情況。
我們聊了很多的話題，在樓下的長廊一直站著聊，並聊了一小時。直到我媽放工回家，到了長廊，我們才結束談話。
媽問我怎麼揹著沉重的背包仍能跟朋友談天。
即使揹着沉重的背包，裡面載了電腦和portfolio，我也覺得沒相干，可以跟朋友尤其是小學同學聊天是挺開心的事。
其實在聊天的過程中，我早已忘記了那沉重的背包。
朋友是需要珍惜的。我們要好好珍惜跟朋友相處的時間，因為真的難能可貴！

成果
在這一年半的時間，
學會了劇本寫作、剪接、拍攝短片等技巧，
並將它們學會致用，反覆練習，
這一切一切就是為了今天的面試，
希望做到想做的事。
想不到短短時間，已經寫了很多
詩詞、散文、故事、劇本、劇本分析等等，
可以放在portfolio。
面試結束了，
鬆了一口氣，

媽，生日快樂
每個星期天我們通常會待在家休息。
我會陪媽媽看Running Man，
因為可以開心盡情地笑，減減壓。
今天是媽的生日。
我知道她喜歡韓國文化。
我想我砌的傳統韓國的屋子模型 她會喜歡吧！

星期六的期待
每星期六我最期待的就是
去教會與小朋友一起上課。
能夠聽到學生叫我一聲「導師」，
其實感覺很好，我很開心。
我與四位導師負責小一學生，
因為我是新加入的，
所以我的崗位都是負責維持秩序。
這崗位的工具有時容易有時難，
因為小朋友有時會很安靜，有時會很喧鬧。
今天有一個小朋友特別喧鬧嘈嚷著要貼紙。
我跟他說：「回答了問題才能有貼紙。」
他說：「我不想回答，但想得到貼紙。」
我說：「回答了問題，才可以有貼紙。」
然後，他站起來想搶走我的貼紙。
我說：「要貼紙，就要回答問題。」
他也走出座位試圖搶走貼紙。
如是者，擾讓了不知多少分鐘。
從這件事已經可以看到，
年紀小小已有不勞而獲的想法，
我覺得這樣想不是太好吧！
