No one's really talking about their r*****s, so I won't either. For those who are worrying over it, please don't. Prepare for next semester instead. I wish I could help more.. The most I can offer is a listening ear and a crying shoulder. And help for the next sem.

Since it's Christmas, here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas! Though I don't celebrate Christmas myself, I'm gonna try my best to enjoy the holidays, and everyone should, too.

Tired tired tired.. Another day of non-stop action for me.. First was SP Rehearsals in the morning, then Hockey training in the afternoon and evening, then rushing down (in vain) to Jurong Point to try and catch YJ's carolling, then coming back to find that somehow a Trojan sneaked its way into my computer. There goes the plans to finally clean up my pigsty of a room; I was too tired anyway, from hunting through the entire Jurong Point for a hint of carolling. Turned out I was too late -- it had already ended.

I'm, erm, still looking for a day to myself. With me myself and I for company. One day when I can wake up late, sit in bed and ask myself, "Now what shall I do today?" One day when I don't have to stare at that irritating text file on my computer screen (or three, rather, one named TODAY, one named TO-DO and one named TO-MEET) that dictate my whole day for me even before it starts.

Anyway Hockey was fun, we just played matches the whole day, 5 on 5, no drills today. I scored 1 goal per match! But it's nothing to be proud of, really, it's gonna be different in actual matches when goals are defended by a keeper as well. And with the other halls boasting inter-varsity players, ex-school players, we still have a long long way to go, all of us, before we can consider ourselves title challengers. And we have little more than 2 weeks left in which to prepare for the inter-hall games.

Well, it's late, and it's another packed day for me tomorrow, so I'll retire to bed now..

Amazing fact #1: The lighting in my hall toilet makes me look like I have abs!
Amazing fact #2: I was almost supposed to be in 2 places at the same time today! Till I cancelled one commitment.
Amazing fact #3: None of these facts are really amazing!

狮子处女座:敞开的交界

  8/19-8/25

  黄道宫位置:约在狮子座27度-处女座30度

  季节:夏末

  元素:火、土

  主宰行星:太阳、水星

  象征符号:狮子、处女

  理解事物的方式:直觉、感官、思考

  狮子处女结合了黄道宫第五宫狮子和第六宫处女两星座的特征,可比拟为人类35岁左右的年纪,也相当于北半球夏季末期,这时人们会开始除草晒干以备冬天之用,已采收了某些水果和农作物,其它的农作物也已接近成熟状态。这段日子里白天逐渐缩短,夜晚加长,秋天的脚步逐渐近了,暑假也快结束了。在人类的发展过程中,到了35岁的阶段,已经十分成熟,在人格发展、工作和家庭生活面都已有显著成就;自己也可能发掘到或向别人展露出自己人格中秘密或隐而未现的风貌。这样一来,因为自我定义感的强化,一股新的力量就会源源不绝地注入体内。这个阶段的人们会重视家庭或两性交往的价值,也愿意开诚布公地跟别人分享心中的秘密。至于单身未婚男女也渴望在此时,找出更有意义的生活方式。

  在狮子处女这一周出生的人,是内向与外向人格的综合体。在他们身上可找出处女座的实际、踏实的性格,也能发现狮子暴躁易怒、直觉强烈的个性;这两种特质造就了外表安静、灵感丰富的个体,内心永远有一盏温暖的亮光。有些狮子处女的人会掩饰其才华洋溢的一面,初见面时,给人一种安静、深沉的印象。也有些狮子处女的人比较爱出风头,但是内心却相当敏感,重视隐私。他们可能会掩饰自己人格的某些面向或心中的秘密,而且时间持续好几年,但是即使是他们之中最内向的人,也会每隔一段时间突然展现其内在丰厚的特质,让全世界都知道他们究竟是什么样子的人,正在做什么事。到了这个时候,这类型的人才会了解刻意掩饰自己是没有用的,他们越想躲起来,别人越会注意到他们。不妨光明正大一点,敞开心胸,让别人有亲近了解他们的机会,不需要在内敛和外向之间摇摆不定,自寻苦恼。

  出身普通环境或社会低阶层的狮子处女的人,必须花费心思、加倍努力,才能渐渐往上爬升。而且即使已经开始往上爬了,他们仍得抱持更为不屈不挠的精神和强烈意志力,才可能顺利达成目标。可惜,很多这类型的人在努力过程中都无法超越内心的恐惧,因而平淡无奇地过完一生。他们对自己的看法可能跟外界对他们的看法正好完全相反,有时他们虽自信满满,但别人可能根本忽略了他们的存在。

  狮子处女的人不像其它星座的人一样,那么需要外界的掌声来肯定自己;不论这类型的人的个性多么沉静、知足,他们对自己的价值都很有自信。也就是因为这个原因,除非他们能在社会或专业领域中出人头地,否则这类型的人只会活在自己的世界中,不轻易将心事或事实真相告诉外人。事实上,如果这类型的人能敞开自己,接纳别人的话,将能增加自己的力量,更快达到目标。那些成功又紧守私密一辈子的狮子处女的人,通常都是透过自我表白或某些行为,别人才有机会了解他们,这种孤僻性格可能会被当成“自恋狂”或“自虐狂”。

  在这个“敞开的交界”出生的人具有很杰出的观察和判断能力,他们喜欢静静等待、观察,不会想办法去吸引别人的注意力。此外,他们天生语言、思考能力很强,擅于将所观察到的事情用语言文字表达出来,而且在表达之前,还会花一段长时间冷静地重新思考。因此,狮子处女的同事、朋友经常依赖他们的记忆和客观判断力。通常只要这类型的人维持情绪稳定的话,他们会是你可以信赖、依靠的朋友。

  喜欢交替运用隐藏和揭露事实的手段当武器和策略来达到目的的狮子处女的人,最后会明白这种幼稚、贫乏技俩的实质好处并不多。一般来讲,只要这类型的人能遇见真心爱他们、接纳他们的朋友,一个或数个都可以,他们发生这种问题的机率便会大大减少。透过信任、爱和包容,这类型的人便不须再玩这类“捉迷藏”的游戏。待他们勇于接受成长的挑战时,也就不再为不成熟的情绪所困扰。

好奇、喜欢侦探小说的人,一定会很喜欢跟狮子处女的人来往;了解这类型的人虽然困难重重,但是相对地成就感也很大。狮子处女的人并不渴望得到别人的赞美和肯定,但他们极需要别人的了解,只有敏感的人才会注意到他们内心的呐喊,因为狮子处女的人宁可静默,也不会开口要求。

  很明显地,狮子处女的人很需要可以信任,能够替他们保守秘密、对他们百般忠实的朋友和情人,这一点对他们来说相当重要。这类型的人不轻易对人流露他们的热情和爱意,因为他们很怕受到拒绝。一旦这类型的人不幸地被朋友或情人背叛的话,他们的情绪会整个崩溃,不再信任别人。

  狮子处女的人有情有义,只要是能让他们打开心门的朋友,彼此都会维持一辈子的友谊。能充份接受狮子处女的人,即使他们表露出真实个性,还是会喜欢他们并继续交往,甚至成为亲密的终生朋友或伴侣。狮子处女的人本身可能不是个好父母或好子女,他们重视私我的个性,使得他们根本无法和家人分享喜乐或分担彼此的痛苦。但是这类型的人跟兄弟姊妹或表堂兄弟姊妹的感情会很亲,换句话说,狮子处女的人和同辈份的人在一起时,就会偶尔打开心房,倾吐内心秘密。因此,这类型的人日后找的伴侣或配偶,最好也是属于兄弟姊妹般的类型,是能与他们谈心,分享内心世界的人。虽然狮子处女的人通常比较自我中心、孤僻、神秘,不是能全心全意为家庭牺牲奉献型的人,但是平日该尽的义务,他们不会逃避,除非你的要求太多或不尽情理,否则他们会很乐意配合。

  优点:自给自足、观察力强、才华洋溢

  缺点:过于自恋、深沉内敛、无法与别人分享

  建议如果你老是将自己隐藏起来,就别怪别人都不认同你。多敞开心胸,让别人有机会了解真正的你。别将所有的心事和秘密全压抑在你一个人的心中。让别人进入你的心房,跟你一起分享喜怒哀乐。

  情侣:双鱼白羊座、金牛座一、金牛双子座、双子座二、双子座三、狮子座一、天秤座一、天秤座二、天秤天蝎座、射手座二、水瓶座二

  夫妻:巨蟹座二、天秤座三、射手座一、水瓶座三、双鱼座二

  朋友:白羊座三、金牛座二、双子座一、狮子处女座、处女座二、天蝎座三、射手魔羯座、双鱼座一、双鱼座三

  家人:白羊金牛座、金牛座三、巨蟹座三、天蝎座二、天蝎射手座、射手座三、魔羯座三

  同事:白羊座二、双子巨蟹座、巨蟹座一、狮子座三、处女座一、处女天秤座、天蝎座一、魔羯座二、水瓶双鱼座

Yay exams are finally over! I think I messed up my final paper, but at least it's over and done with! Yay!

Finally got to watch "Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu". It's a wonderful and touching film. And the actors are excellent. Edwin, you might be interested in this related link.

Next is gonna be 1 nice day of rest at home, then my driving test on Saturday, then maybe another day with my family before hall activities explode into action next Monday. The start of the holiday-that's-not-quite-a-holiday!

I hope everyone's all right and happy, wherever you are and whatever you're doing right now.
