"Bagatelle: Lustig-Traurig" is one of the bagatelles composed by Beethoven. These two words, "Lustig" and "Trarig" are from Germany, and can be translated as "happy" and "sad" respectively. If you've played this piano piece before, you can find that there are two parts representing the two difference feelings.

Maybe the composer wanted to tell us that our lives are filled withh both sadness and happiness. Just like me, I also experienced both feelings these days...

Lustig (Happy)

1. I'll be promoted to form three next year. There will be more subjects these years, for examples, Biology, which is my favourite subjects. Also we can choose to study one ot more elective subjects together with four core subjects (Chinese Language, English Language, Mathematics and Liberal Studies), and I'm going to choose Biology, Chemistry, Geography and Physics as elective subjects. As we are the first group of students involved in the NSS Curriculum, I feel a bit nervous that I cannot adjust well to it. If I cannot study Music in HKAPA to be a musician (I'm going to have the interview next year), I'll choose to study Biology (or related to legal (forensic) medical experts) in the university instead.
2. I've all exam papers passed, except the speaking part of Chinese Language but I think the teachers are always strict in giving marks.
3. Our orchestra had fabulous performances in Graduate Day and Year-end Concert. Although we played one piece of song only, we enjoy performing very much. And Mr. Ng who replaced the position of Mr Ngai our conductor, was so fat and did something very silly that he didn't know. We all burst into laughters.
4. My Canadian friend, Kalli, have came to visit me again. But this time her cousin have come with her also. I really look forward to seeing her soon.
5. I got service award this year, and there will be prize-giving presentation tomorrow after the thanksgiving mass. Also I also received an e-mail from Mr. Mak accidentally this morning when I check my email account:

Juanita,

Well I don't know why I won the award for the best caption, as I only wrote a     few  words  quickly when handing in to Mr. Mak. I only put lots of efforts to write the commantary at that time. And Just then, the organiser sent me the invitation:

Trarig (sad)

1. My piano teacher Miss Lam will leave at September, when I finish my piano examination. She said that her job as a teacher in her secondary school will become very busy so that she will not have much time to teach us as part-time. Anyways, I wish her good luck and happiness. However my new teacher will be a strict old woman. I sometimes hear her bawl out at her students. I hope I will not be one of them.
2. The problems between Seira and me are still not solved yet.
3. We're going to do lots of holiday assignments, especially Mathematics. We need to do lots of questions because our results were bad.

And now it's your turn to share yours with us. You can write at least one thing for "happy" and "sad" respectively. You can also invite your friends here too.
