The day I became the President of the United State

On 4 November 2008, the day Barack Obama never forgets in his life. Sooner he will be the President of the United State of America. During his 2 years long-term marathon presidential campaign, he always mentioned about “Changes”. Do American people really want to change? Do American people think Obama’s experience or previous works can change America? Do American people think he is a dreamer, just to show that he has the ability to change? Obama always said he could change this or that thing, but what in him that couldn’t change is the colour of his skin. “Is colour of the skin really matters? Does ability of a human being can be differentiated by their colour of their skin?” Obama proved it doesn’t matter.

One evening, Obama sat in his office and he carried his ipod with him. He’s resting on his sofa and played his ipod for some kind of tune to ease his mind. A piano tune came out from his earphone and few seconds later, it was John Lennon’s famous song “Imagine”.

“Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today…”

Inside his mind flowing a lot of questions like “Why do the white people hate black people? “Why did our country send out troop to fight in IRAQ War? “Why do the senior executives at Wall Street still as greedy as a wolf and ignited the financial crisis? “Why don’t we get ourselves together to work for the same goal?

He thought over and over again and the song nearly came to an end:

“You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one”

Finally, he got the answer to the questions and he delivered this special speech on 20 Jan 2009 as follows:

“…………I had a dream, and now the dream come true and witness by you all. Some may say I’m a dreamer but now I can tell them I’m not the only one. I hope that now you all can join us, and live this country as one….Thank you!! God Bless America”

This is the day that Barack Obama became the President of the United State.

The topic of my story is about “Neighbourhood”. Inside the story, there are 3 characters (Matt, Graham and Peggy) and I want to describe how a foreigner (i.e. Graham) see the Chinese culture by living in HK and also how his way of thinking influence the other character Matt and the others who live besides him.

Today i attended my lesson. Sorry that i missed the last lesson as i needed to work in the office after typhoon no.8. Too many reports and defects in my managed buildings. Sorry about this! Sir!

So today i learned about the style of a poem called "Sonnet". I think it's a bit hard but i tried this one at lesson...see whether it rocks or not!

Where are you going? Where have you been?

I hate the bus and i hate the train
I hate the way that you go away
Here i am inside this train
I thought right now i got nothing to say

Confusion and Misunderstanding it happens from the day we start
Sorrow and Pain it really hurts my heart
Truth and Lies i can't disguise
When you told me I'm your loving guy

Around me people stared at me in a strange way,
Cos' i'm  talking to myself "What am i going to say?"
My mobile rang and suddenly dropped away
I hate the way that the driver's behave

Come on! It's not the end of the Day,
Please tell me where've you slept by the way!

It sounds silly to me...but i guess this kind of situation really happened to me a lot...somehow girls like to walk away just to proved something....Nasty huh!!!

So...this is my first time to use my blog to submit assignment, first start with this poem with "think of an object that has a special meaning or special energy for you". I must say that The Beatles CD can give me special strength as i listen to their songs. So let's start:

Beatlemania

Beatles came along,

The Beat of the Sound,

Natural River flows to Nile,

Civilization bang the drum,

Awakening of human rights,

Dream from a black man,

Million of human's eyes shine,

The vision is clear upon the velvet sky,

I could see Lucy in the Sky.

Thank you beatles, you guys surely gave me the strength to write the above.

很清楚記得幾時開始鍾意New Order...個時仲係中三，係一隻精選碟聽到一首叫Regret的歌...由New Order主唱!根住我試過到海邊聽住行...一樣good feel!!!聽住呢首歌有10年以上，經歷過無數起與落，包括中五個年會考衰佐，同阿媽一起找學校，奇蹟地可以直入讀City high dip；第一次正式同女仔拍拖，結果分手收場；第一次出來社會工作...好多好多!!!!我依然對呢首歌不離不棄，因我相信首歌係我的心聲，用好簡短的文字表達自己的情感。我相信每個人心中有一首歌，呢首亦將會係陪我一起成長到最後的歌。

現時年青人只吹捧K歌，究竟有誰能認真去用心聽歌。我很記得，有一晚係Cousin屋企接到father的電話，表示叔叔過身的消息。突然想起Words (by Bee Gees)呢首歌，我便靜靜地唱起此曲，希望佢會聽到..."Smile, an everlasting smile, a smile can bring you near to me, don't ever let me find you're gone cos that would being a tear to me............" 當唱到最後"It's only words and words are all i have to take your heart away."我流下眼淚了。

記住，學懂欣賞及用心領悟，自然會發現每首歌都是人生的每部份。好似"Regret"首歌結尾一樣，"I would like a place I could call my own, have a conversation on the telephone, wake up every day that would be a start, i would not complain about my wounded heart.....Just wait till tomorrow, I guess that's what they all say just before they fall apart"

well...i think this song quite suit the feeling of mine now...at least...do u think so??

Please - Robin Gibb

So many words I'd like to say to you
So many things I'd like to do for you
I count the seconds till you're back by my side
The flame only burns when you're here in my life
You're the only one for me

Please tell me how I'll ever get over you
Though I know you're gone
Can't believe that it's true
Please tell me how to ever stop wanted you
With every beat of my heart
I'll be waiting for you

Time after time
My every thought is you
Day after day
I wanna be with you
Open your heart
And i'm sure that you'll see
No words can express what you mean to me
Baby you're my destiny

I'm waiting for the day
When you come back in my live
I'm waiting for the day
When all that's wrong is right
And I'm praying for the time
When you are here im my arms
Hold you tight all day and all night

STEREO MC.....MAKE SURE U'RE CONNECTED!!! ENJOY>>...

Dear Winnie,

Hi!....nice that i can have the courage to write this mail to you, haha....maybe my mind can't stop my hands from doing so. Em..i guess you are living fine and doing good, but for me, it's not so easy. So many misunderstanding and mistakes, maybe it happened from the start, too much confusion and wrongful messages, maybe it also happen from the very start too. If this is the case, whom can i blame on?? You?? I don't know...sometimes i hate myself so much, cos i tend to be alone and hide all my feelings inside but in fact, i'm also a human being same as others, i also need to have someone's attention and care. Who can have the same feeling as me and the things i've been through. I guess no one except you. Talking with you was something i can feel happiness inside my heart, it seemed like all my sadness and pressure disappeared. You always tried to make me "happy" and here i have to say "Thank you" for all of this.

Right now, i can never hear the sound of you, it just like there is something lacking and i am not well prepared to adopt. I've done good things and bad things but this time don't think in the way that you hurt me, i can only say that i have no luck at all from the day i was born in this world.

Bye! Take Care!
