It is unusual for me to write a post in English. Yes, it is my first time.
For a long time, I have believed my English is just enough to get an “E”. In fact, I got a grade E on one of the crucial English examinations in Hong Kong that will determine what you will become. The failure had something to do with my incautiousness, as I recollect. I thought I was well-prepared for the examination, subscribing thousands of English magazines for ten or twenty Hong Kong dollars a year, and ultimately covered with dust under my bed for months without flipping it. Back to the time in high school, I never had a chance to talk with a native English speaker, nor had a radio to listen to BBC news.
I do not remember the weather on the exam day, and I finished the exam as fast as driving a sports car. Then I took a nap on the desk and woke up ten minutes before time was up, checking my paper. Of a sudden, I noticed that the exam questions were on both sides. I only answered one side!
Then everything was history.
English, to me, was a tool to get me into college, even an E. I did not think that I would use it as much as Chinese in my life. Who knows, my life is upside down in the US. At first, I felt like walking on my palms. Then I get used to it, and now I could say I can barely walk on my hands. I know it is not pretty.
If you follow my blog, you might find that I had nothing to say for the past couple of days. I feel the same way as you see. I really have nothing to say about the spreading of the virus in Hong Kong, Russia invading Ukraine, bombing hospitals and museums. But the people on Weibo are living in another world that I was filled with indignation for reading their comments. The only word that comes out of my mouth would be a nasty word, or simply I can put up a photo here and run.
I turned to books, history books, studying about the Cultural Revolution, the military army in China. But they are too dark to read after a delicious dinner. Then I started to read “A Tale of Two Cities” in my Kindle Paperwhite.
My blog is named “Life is Wonderful” in English and it does not reflect the meaning in Chinese. I finally find the right word for it, drenched in ennui. My life absolutely defined it.
Why so despaired ? 💪🏻💪🏻
無病呻吟。XD
要宣洩下嘅 🙏
Sigh~ the death rate of Omicron cases in HK is really bad, in comparison to Sg, NYC and London, I don’t know why, perhaps omicron had triggered some serious chronic sicknesses. For the Ukraine crisis, I have no idea why NATO or other So called Organizations like UN, are reluctant to set up No Fly Zone, WWIII has begun !!!!
God bless Ukraine.

香港與世界都在崩壞，生活在香港，無烏克蘭咁慘烈，但每日都聽到啲唔合邏輯既廢噏，有時會諗，不如自己都痴埋一份，可能無咁辛苦。
香港既omicorn殺傷力咁勁我覺得有一部份係老人院出事。本身老人家就係高危，早排天氣又凍，落雨嗰幾日安排哂成班老人家喺醫院外吹住風瞓，無病都死，何況中咗？
每日睇新聞睇到心都翳，要放低一下，如果唔係人都癲。
所以追緊 940920， 就算爛尾，都唔駛心翳～
電視劇嗎？不知道啊。我要繼續去追看Yellowjackets，2月1日過年前看的，看到第五集，跑了去看《殭屍校園》。現在我在重聽關淑怡和達明一派。
達明與關淑怡是all time favourite。近年去看達明，每看一次都要珍惜，擔心不知哪天沒機會看⋯
韓劇與我體質不合八字不夾，出名的韓劇我十套大概只有一套看得下去⋯>.< 好多套看了頭一集半集就不想看下去。
我很少看韓劇的。看過的一隻手數得出來，跟日劇差不多。
提醒：最近Wordpress留言系統有點問題，好多留言都被扔進垃圾箱spam，你檢查一下你自己平台的留言，我剛留了言也不見有顯示。
謝謝提醒，我留意一下先
真諷刺﹗連你這條留言也被扔進垃圾箱了。我剛un-spam了。看來仍要每天檢查。
我還好，都有通知了
看來應該沒事了。但願如此。
不好意思，剛在你的平台回了你，發覺又沒有顯示了，估計你要不時檢查垃圾箱。我現在也是這樣，每天檢查留言區的垃圾箱，然後不時會發現被扔到垃圾箱的留言。
What a pleasant surprise, to meet the English you! 加油！
謝謝支持﹗你也要加油﹗
