My best friend Lilian’s dreams are to become a novelist and have her own shop selling lovely gifts. I suppose she will study language or culture in the future. Knowing the fact that she would choose the programmes of business administration for her tertiary study, I was quite astonished. I wondered why she forwent her dream of being a writer. I doubt whether I have understood her deeply enough. To clear the misunderstanding about her in my mind, I asked her for further reasons.

Lilian said she found herself suitable to work in the business field and nobody forced her to do so. She claimed she would still like writing even when she would not study language or culture in the future. I agree that it is difficult to earn a living by writing books. Knowing that she has found the appropriate way for her own, I will sincerely support and bless her as a good friend should do. No one knows her more than she does.

Lilian’s case makes me realise that there is really a gap between the reality and the dreams. The size of the gap depends on how much effort you put into minimizing the gap.

My dreams are to become an excellent translator of books and a head librarian. I am determined to realise my dreams as I am talentless and not interested in other aspects except language and culture. My Chinese result is quite good while my biggest weakness is oral skills. I don’t think paperwork is boring or monotonous. I like the job in a good order. I like to follow instructions but not seek adventures. I am realistic, steady and reserved. I enjoy working in silence. Hence I enjoy reading and completing translation tasks. I know there will be lots of difficulties on the road of turning my interest into my life career, but I believe I can overcome them in the future.

This Tuesday I spent about 4 hours to make a powerpoint about Chinese painting art. Then the next day I and my group members — Ella Kwan and Natalie See gave a presentation with the powerpoint during the Chinese lesson. It was very joyful and exciting to hear Ms Yeung’s appreciation. She said my powerpoint was rich in useful examples and my explanation was clear and detailed. It meant to me that my effort was not in vain but appreciated. Through this project I have learnt much more about the characters of Chinese painting art.

This year I have worked on several projects and powerpoints in English, Chinese and Liberal Studies. I, Ella and Natalie are always in a group while usually I and Ella work together to make powerpoints. It may be unfair that the marks are shared with group members who have just done a little work but I am sure that both knowledge and experience cannot be shared and stolen. The more I do, the more I can learn.

Now I am still working on my personal Liberal Studies project about teenager voluntary work. This project will be counted as 20% of my Liberal Studies A-level result.

“HELLO KITTY COLORS”

Hello is the word Kitty says the most frequently

England is the place where she lives in but Japan is her real hometown

Loves Daniel when she was still a little baby

Likes baking yummy cookies and apple pies with Mimmy and Mum

On 1st November 1974, two cute white kittens were born

——-

Kitty and Mimmy are sweet twin sisters

It is easy to recognise Kitty with red and Mimmy with yellow

Though she has no mouth

Through her heartful face, we know what she deeply means

Your sincere wish can be delivered by her even without lavender

——-

Charmmy, the elegant pink lady Persian cat, is different from Kitty White

On the contrary, Hello Kitty has a changeable image

Longs to be our friendship ambassadress

Of course, Kitty is amiable and friendly towards everybody

Rather green and fresh for her past 35 years

Survives in our hearts forever and ever

———————————-

35th Anniversary Hello Kitty Colors:

Red友情Friendship,
Pink可愛Cute,
Yellow貼心Heartful,
Green希望Wish,
Lavender溫柔Sweet

這首詩是根據35th Anniversary Hello Kitty Colors及我對Kitty的認知而創作的,獻給Kitty & Mimmy。

This is the first time my little article got published on the page of Your Say Letters of Young Post, South China Morning Post. In fact, I like the star letter version more than my original version.

In the past, I mainly wrote poems for Poet’s Corner of Young Post.

It’s a pity that Young Post does not have the page Poet’s Corner this school year.

The original version I wrote:

“Express Your Love To VIP”

Recently I find that my dear sister Sharon needs a card holder and a file so I intend to buy the things she needed. I will not present them as her next birthday gifts as it will be too long time from now.

If you really care about a person, you should be able to know her daily need. Then you can do something to help her or give her some useful little gifts. It is no need to wait till her birthday to send gifts.

In general, Chinese are too reserved to express their love and feelings. Don’t think that your VIP (very important person) has already known your love for her. There is the need to show your love for your VIP. Don’t just say loving her by word of mouth. You should practically do something for your VIP. It’s time to take action and show your care to your parents, siblings or friends.

Star Letter version published:

“Show Loved Ones That You Care”

I recently found out that my sister really needs a card holder and a file. So I intend to buy them for her without waiting for her next birthday because it would be too late then.

If you really care about a person, you should know what they want and need. It is not necessary to wait until someone’s birthday to send them presents.

In general, the Chinese don’t openly express their love and feelings for others. If there’s a VIP (very important person) in your life, show that you care about them and treat them with respect. If you see something you know they’d like, buy it for them. If you know they need help with something, help them.

Actions speak louder than words. It’s time to take action and show that you care about your parents, siblings and friends.

“From The Editor”

Thank you for your letter, Sally. These days, we all tend to be a little materialistic. We expect exciting gifts at birthdays and Christmas, and if our friends and family don’t perform to our expectations, we are often annoyed.

But gifts should not be proof of how much money we have. They should only be proof of how we feel about a loved one.

And like you said, we should not save gifts for “special occasions”. In fact, a gift can be a lot more meaningful if we buy it just because we see something someone would like.

But even more important than physical gifts are the things we do for our loved ones, and even for strangers. Whether it’s small things like holding the door open for someone or giving up your seat on the MTR or someone in need, or bigger things like helping a friend finish a project or offering to cook dinner for your parents, doing things for other people makes their lives a little bit better.

But what’s even cooler about being thoughtful is that you feel better afterwards. What are you waiting for?

Karly, Sub-editor

—————————

I agree that gift is only one of the ways to express love and care. The most important thing is your sincere love and care for your VIP but not the value of the gift.

For parents, I think the best gifts would be children’s self-made little cards and keeping a good relationship with their children.
