walking in the rain (on st. george =)

Walking in the rain / on St. George / T.A., teacher, Emily and I / after midterm for PSY 313 psychology of aging / Emily and teacher are so much fun talking about Montreal...(their home town) ...

I feel so so so supported by them ... even though, they're just being there!!!! So many times people don't know why I picked PSY / so many times...thinking about this is such a long way to go, and I probably won't be able to find a job that would allow me to write report and continue with research / and today...when I was studying at home, reading about the various kind of disorders, declining biological functions associated with aging....it's sooo depressing, reading about the disorders is just SCARY!!!!

But ... in a supportive class environment.....with siu mui mui Emily ^__^ who's SOOO nice and helpful sending me load and loads of research opportunity is ... very good and fulfilling! hee hee

I went into PSY because I remembered two years ago, on the Rotman magazine, there was an article...saying that in 2030...depression would become even more prevalent ... This is again validated in an after-class chatting with the teacher....and the reasons are because of work stress...isolation, and all other factors, I'm not sure.

Anyway...I probably won't go that far helping anyway...But as little as I can contribute to the field...I still really want to do it!!!

This past Sunday, was my 3rd recital for my piano students at Pro-Music - my first year listening to my students playing on stage - my kids are lovely that they actually practice, and they want to do well! I finally see myself being able to teach Gr. 5, and grades beyond Gr. 5 Piano! I've to learn to teach...but this experience is so rich, so enjoyable and lovely! Thanks to my teacher, Robert Gernburd and my current teacher David Swan - their concentration, how they brought me into the music world, refining my perception to sounds and music, the whole playing the piano thing incorporating and reflecting my whole being, lifestyles, strengths and weaknesses...this is just SO cool!!!! And Ms. Meizhi Bi's award winning students' recital....altogether, it creates a community, a nurturing community =)

It'd be so nice if music and psy are combined ... let's continue to dream on ^_^

Mom, thank you!

Once, I experience love like a little pond, like a puddle of water I could tip my foot in and make a seemingly exciting...blash!

Then, I find out, love from the family is like a swimming pool that allows me to swim, swim freely :)

And then ... I realize it's not the right analogy ... you're like air and an ocean, so huge, so vast, yet invisible; surrounded me and I won't realize what you've done for me until one moment...suddenly ... I realized. ....A quiet string ~ 愛的柔絲 . 深藏的愛
