わたしはテイ．カ‐ウエイです!

こんばんわ!

i am so happy!

i never scored an 'A' in any module in all my University years...
except for Japanese... and my Final Year Project!
woooooo!

i congratulated myself on signing up for lessons again!


excessiveness!
but felt tip pens are a must in writing your homework!


lessons start next week!
studying! school! homework! yay!

in my final year,
i did more homework doing japanese and french worksheets,
than for my own module.... -_-"

leehom

what i've learnt from this dude,
is that despite being on TOP of his game,
being such a mega superstar that he is,
despite landing endless commercials and gigs,
he works hard.

there is nothing very mysterious about success,
especially when i get this close to leehom.

true, his good looks, luck, talent all played a part, 天时地利人和blah blah blah,
but if you can stick through it,
re-invent yourself and remain an artiste for more than 10 years and still be as big,
it all boils down to hard work.

so we've all heard the statistic, he's been to 29 cities within 40 days,
endless 商业演出, he's swimming in piles of money,
but he ain't partying.

after his ION gig in Singapore, we hung out till late,
and the next morning he flew back to Taipei immediately for a huge open-air show to about 60000 people at night.

and there i was lounging in my house the whole day,
and I watched the Taiwan news on TV in amazement:
Wow, he's sporting exactly the same hair, and wasn't he just here with me less than a day ago?

How can someone so effectively maximise his time spent everyday?

And he'll be directing his own movie very soon, and starring in it as well -
it's a personal project that he made come true,
something totally different than what he's used to (making albums)
and definitely taxing,
but it will bring his career to a whole new level.




Have you ever wondered,
everyone's partying, having supper, watching the movies, having a good time.
Everyone's trying to schedule their time to meet friends, packing their social calendar to the brim,
I had a wild thought that I don't want to be like everyone.

I want to succeed.

Not many people succeed, the ones who do,
are not like everyone else.

The ones who succeed are different from everyone else,
they subscribe to a different lifestyle,
they work extra hard.

Being successful is just a place not many people get to -
it filters the hard worker from the insanely hard working ones.

Like so many other people, for many different reasons,
he's gonna be my role model for now.

I won't be able to reach where he is now, but if I can get close,
it would be darn remarkable.


some additional inspiration that resonated so strongly with the perfectionist in me.

headphones are love

i don't often get a chance to wear them out,
but i absolutely adore these.
the louder the better.


i got them in the mail from the States.

following which,
i got these skullcandy paul frank ones for a favourite friend as her wedding gift! much love to shihan & yc!
i never bought a gift so perfect for anyone before, i believe :)

back to school!

nope, this is not a Halloween-themed party post!!

LITERALLY, i went back to RGS for my 10 YEAR REUNION!

I wanna run through the halls of my high school
I wanna scream at the
Top of my lungs
I just found out there's no such thing as the real world
Just a lie you've got to rise above

I just can't wait til my 10 year reunion
I'm gonna bust down the double doors
And when I stand on these tables before you
You will know what all this time was for

To think it would finally happen!


This is part of the class with our beloved Principals :)
See, being part of a girly secondary school is actually... really memorable :)

We were back in our school hall,
and I felt a really strange sense of familiarity,
and I even felt that everything seemed SMALLER than before.

I don't know, maybe it was just my 4-inch heels.


I didn't sing the John Mayer song,
but I did sing Over the Rainbow with fellow schoolmate Dawn Ho on piano :)


I am very proud of my yellow name-tag that says KEWEI,
we used to have big bright yellow name-tags on our pinafores...
those were the days...


and we swayed in old-fashioned BFF style
singing our school songs...

In fact, I'll be back to RGS tomorrow morning for a little show for the Secondary 3s!
I'm jittery.. I hope they will like me :p
