fear | When I was young I got lost on the street and the police found me
after a day. | null |
anger | My sister once stole my mother's money and made her very angry.
After this my mother would beat her up for unreasonable reasons.
One day my sister lent her book to a friend without telling my
mother about it. When my mother learnt this she beat her up and
even threatened her with a pair of scissors. | null |
sadness | My academic result was poor and I had to repeat the second year.
I felt sad about the coming several years. | null |
disgust | My mother was always fastidious about my room, bed time, etc.
She treated us strictly and punished us physically. These
things were intolerable. | null |
shame | I misunderstood a girl and thought that she loved me. One day
when I was talking to her, her boyfriend appeared and I felt
ashamed. | null |
guilt | When I was in P3 I was always punished as I would forget to do my
homework. The first time that I was punished and not allowed to
leave school, I slipped out of school. | null |
joy | I was admited to the Chinese university of Hong Kong. The day
the results were announced I looked in the newspaper and saw my
candidature number. | null |
fear | One year, when I went to a camp, I was chased by a dog. I tried
hard and finally managed to escape from it. My torch suddenly
went off and we talked about ghost stories and I thought that
there were ghosts. | null |
anger | When I was in F4 I played a basket-ball match against another
school's team. One of their team members kicked a team-mate of
mine so I kicked him back and we had a fight with each other. | null |
sadness | I received the mid-term exam paper of one of my major subjects
and I found that I had failed it. | null |
disgust | Once at a camp a classmate criticized me in front of others. Now
I find that this classmate is very disgusting. | null |
shame | When I was in F4 I led my class to a riot. However the form
master said that my conduct was good and asked me to tell him the
names of those who had taken part in it. I replied that I did
not know. | null |
guilt | I promised to join a meeting but did not turn up as I did not
want to do the work. | null |
joy | [ When my performance (homework or other work) is better than others.] | null |
fear | I found a problem in homework which would not get solved although
I tried my best. | null |
anger | I had a date with my girlfriend, the time and place had not been
fixed. I asked her to phone me an hour later as it was midnight
and I did not want to disturb her family. I waited several hours
for her call, she did not call me that night. | null |
sadness | When I found that my ability to do ordinary work was worse than
my fellow mates. | null |
disgust | I made friends with a classmate whose behaviour I did not like -
he tried to flatter other people and did not respect me. | null |
shame | My guilty behaviour was found out by others. | null |
guilt | When my behaviour was immoral - thinking about sex. | null |
joy | During my Summer vacations I planned a carnival for the community
youth center with a few other volunteers. I was the head of the
organizors and we spent over a month planning it. During this
period we got to know and understood each other. We
discovered each others potential and we planned many interesting
things for the carnival. The day of the carnival everything was
bright, the programmes went well and the attendants enjoyed it.
I felt extremely excited about it. | null |
anger | I was a prefect at secondary school. On the sports day I told
others that I would take down the names of the people who
misbehaved and after some time I sat down for a brief rest.
Suddenly the head prefect came and scolded me in front of others.
I was very angry as there were other prefects sitting and he
picked on me. I thought that a brief rest was not serious
enough to be blamed. | null |
disgust | I had joined a youth group that observed the affairs of our
community and so I had many opportunities to contact the
government and the committee members of the district board (a
local executive structure). We always tried to consult and
discuss with them, but we found that such people did not
understand community affairs and they even dampened our
enthusiasm in local affairs. I did not understand why they had
decided to work as community leaders. | null |
shame | One day I was the leader of the weekly meeting of the Church
fellowship. That day I had been preparing for the exams and did
not estimate the time to travel to the church right and I was
twenty minutes late. As I had not prepared well I led the
meeting badly. I was ashamed of myself. | null |
guilt | I borrowed my classmate's notebook one week before the
examination and I promised to give it back to her in two days
time. I was very busy at that time and forgot many things; as I
was not very often at home she could not contact me. When I
started my revision I realized that her notebook had been on my
desk for five days. I contacted her immediately and gave it back
to her. Though she did not say anything I felt very guilty. | null |
joy | When high level results were declared, I found my candidature
number. I was very happy as I had not expected it. As I had been
injured before the examination and I had performed poorly. | null |
fear | Once, when I was ten, I could not remember why my mother was so
angry. She fainted suddenly and I was very scared as I did not
know what to do . | null |
anger | When I got into a bus I found that my wallet had been stolen.
It was not a great loss from the monetary point of view but I
lost some documents - identity papers. As a result I had to
spend several days in order to get a new one. I will always
remember all the work I had to do and the bad treatment I
suffered because of the bureaucratic behaviour of the civil
servant. I had already had bad luck and they treated me like a
criminal. At one point of time I really wanted to quarrel with
them. | null |
sadness | I quarrelled with my younger sister because I had said something
against her boyfriend. Consequently she looked through me when
she saw me as she thought that I was trying to separate them.
She had misunderstood me. | null |
disgust | A few days back, I walked on a heap of faeces while walking on
the road. I got goose flesh because of this. | null |
shame | During the English lesson we were required to do a play. A few
days after doing it the teacher asked us to do it again at a meeting
and I forgot my part. | null |
guilt | Once, my friend and I went to the Tai 60 to cycle. My mother had
told me not to go. Unfortunately I broke my pectoral girdle and
had to go to hospital. When my mother came to see me I felt
guilty as I had not listened to her and I had to soon sit for a
public examination. | null |
joy | After attending a song contest proposed by a band called "Chyne"
we (6 of us) waited for the members of the band to greet us in
front of the stage. We went out after a few minutes as it was
time to close the hall. We had been waiting at the entrance hall
for ten minutes when three of the band members came out. They
were very excited to see us, one of them was so excited that he
had tears in his eyes. We felt very warm and close to each
other. They took us back into the hall and we talked freely. We
were together for about an hour and during this time we felt
that they were very sincere. | null |
fear | At noon one Sunday I received a phone call telling me that my
mother had been knocked down by a car at the street crossing and
that her husband should go and see her. I could not believe this
as my father and my mother had gone out together to buy lunch
boxes. However I immediately ran to the scene of the accident. | null |
anger | The day the results of the Chinese university was announced I
should have been very happy; however my grandmother, because of
her prejudice and misunderstanding, started a quarrel with my
mother. She expected me to take her side and she deliberately
talked of my mother's wrong doings. I was very angry because -
one my grandmother was not being reasonable and two because it
should have been a happy day and three we had moved into a new
house that day. | null |
sadness | When I was in lower six class during the Summer I joined a
research group of the Chinese university student union. I knew
a lot of CV students there. A year later one of them was
travelling in mainland China and he got T.B. He died a few weeks
after coming back to H.K. We all got together for the funeral
and when I looked at the body for the last time I felt extremely
sad. | null |
disgust | During these Summer vacations a schoolmate who was not in my
class went to Britain. Before he left, his classmates and some
of us who were accquainted with him had a B.B.Q on the beach.
When I arrived I saw that some people , who were not close
friends of the departing person(person A), were playing mahjong.
Some others were playing bridge and A had nothing to do, besides
it was A who had prepared the food. Later when we wanted to talk
and his classmates did not even have the decency to listen to him.
They only asked him a few questions half-heartedly and then they
talked on their own. Some of their conversation was against me and
another classmate. | null |
shame | When I was in lower six I joined an interview group to
interview the general public. One of my friends in the group
lost her purse and she was very nervous. Five of us had to go
another place so we left her, and planned to see her later. Then
I heard her describing how her purse looked. I realized that I
had seen her purse on the floor and had not wanted to do any
thing about it. | null |
guilt | I went to a friend's baptism as she became a Christian after me
and I realized that she was more enthusiastic about her spiritual
life than I was. When I was with my brothers and sisters of
Christ I had a guilty feeling which could not be dismissed
easily. When pepole asked me as to when I would be baptised my
guilt feeling deepened. | null |
joy | When I received the result slip of the higher level examination
(an university entrance exam) and saw that I had a very good
possibility of being accepted into the university, I felt very
excited. | null |
fear | One camping night, I listened to the ghost stories told by my
classmates. | null |
anger | Last week I had planned to play tennis and had booked a tennis
court. However when I arrived at the university gym the clerk
told me that the court was being used for lessons. | null |
sadness | When I was ill and had to stay at the hospital for a period of
time. | null |
disgust | A few days back I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop.
Before getting into the bus I had prepared the exact amount of
coins to pay for the bus fair and when I got into the bus I put
these coins into the box meant to collect the bus fair. I
thought that I had paid and wanted to get inside. However the
bus driver called me and asked me in an impolite way if the coins
were stuck at the opening of the box. He had not seen me paying
and there wasn't a stack of coins in the box. I could not
understand this and the driver kept questioning me. He made me
feel angry and at last i inserted a dollar coin in the box just
to get away from him. Later I found that I had forgotten a few
coins in my pocket and had not paid enough for the fair the first
time. After I had entered the bus I could still hear him
scolding me and I felt disgusted. | null |
shame | A few days back I had a tutorial class and the teacher randomly
assigned one person in each group to make a presentation. The
discussion in our group had been confused and the presentation
was not very well prepared. Unfortunately I was selected to
present and I could not keep calm, was confused and result was
very poor. I really felt ashamed. | null |
guilt | Once I quarrelled with my sister and after this I deliberately
messed up her belongings. | null |
joy | I had a dream : I had a very close friend who had several stone
houses in the New Territories (villages) but they did not have
much furniture. He took me to see his fields (I had never seen
them before) and there were several inches of clear water on
which the sunshine was reflected. I wanted to sit among the
short green plants in the fields but was afraid of treading the
plants to death. My friend said "They will not die" and I sat
down happily and my trousers did not get wet. | null |
fear | After seeing a horror film - Omen. I could not sleep at night
even though I closed my eyes. The last scene of the film kept
coming back to me, I seemed to hear the girls in the film
shouting at the devil. The devil did not have any expression on
his face and I thought that he would choose me. | null |
anger | My friend often played a joke on me and sometimes I thought that
he was a nonsensical person. Once when we went to a friend's
house he walked in first and shut the door firmly behind him. I
felt that he did not respect me and moreover I was his friend so
he should not have behaved like that. I was very angry (as it is
I was in a bad mood then). | null |
sadness | I suddenly found that those whom I considerered to be my good
friends did not care for me. Although I could still be with them
I felt unimportant. I deeply thought about the reason behind
this so as to see who was responsible for this. Finally I made
up my mind and decided not to expect too much from them. I was
sad when I decided that they were no longer my good friends. | null |
disgust | I had a friend who was very kind to me. I tried my best to like
him and understand him but when I was with him I could not help
rejecting, criticizing and blaming him. I wanted to get away
from him as soon as possible. | null |
shame | My teacher reminded us not to do a Summer job, however I did it
for two months. Yesterday I was chatting with my teacher and
when we talked of the Summer job, I felt ashamed. | null |
guilt | I wanted to get rid of a bad habit and it seemed that I had
succeeded. However a year later I got the bad habit again. I felt
useless as I always found excuses to explain my behaviour. As a result I
felt guilty. | null |
joy | During the exam period I studied in the library alone. A close
friend of mine, who is also a classmate, told me that my
application for a Japanese inter-cultural exchange programme had
been accepted. I was not very sure as I did not know that the
list had been declared. I ran to the board and saw that I was
really included in the list. I was so excited that I smiled all
day long. When I met my classmates and friends I told them the
good news. I was so happy that I could not concentrate on my
studies.
| null |
fear | A boy phoned me at night and wanted to talk to me for 30 minutes
outside. I thought that he would reveal what he felt and would
question me on our relationship. I treated him as a friend and
did not want any misunderstandings. Therefore I refused to meet
him and told him that I would see him the coming day. I was very
unhappy as I feared having hurt him and got him into trouble. | null |
anger | We had fixed time for practice as we had to participate in the
inter-department song contest. I arrived and found that there
was nobody there. When I went to the canteen I found them eating
lunch. I was so angry that I aired my greviances to one of them
and then left. | null |
sadness | A friend told me that he had suffered in love and in academics.
I shared his sadness. | null |
disgust | A friend told me that a boy wanted to get to know me. At that
time I felt disgusted and thought that it was a nonsense thing. | null |
shame | One rainy day when the streets were wet, and as I was walking down
a slope, I fell down out of my carelessness. There were many
people and they saw me, so I felt ashamesd. Moreover I hurt my
ankle and it was painful. | null |
guilt | One night during dinner my nephew was naughty, so I quarrelled with my
parents. I regreted this as my nephew was only two years old and I
had to tolerate him ! The quarrel made my father think that his children
may not take care of him in the future (it was a slip of the tongue and
this made me realize that my father keeps his thoughts to himself). I was
still very angry so I dropped my bowl and chopsticks and went to the kitchen
to drink tea and then ran to the other side of the house. | null |
joy | That afternoon I rushed home to look at the result slip of the
higher level as fast as possible. I opened the envelope very
carefully and found that my results were much better than I
had expected and thus I could enter the Chinese university. My
diligence had paid and I was very happy. | null |
fear | When I was young I had gone to an old lift and played with the
antique lift. The guy discovered me and warned me, I was very
frightened. | null |
anger | Whenever my father smokes the smell makes me feel very
uncomfortable. He never listens to my complaints and I curse him
furiously in my mind. I cannot solve this problem by violence
because of traditional moral values. | null |
sadness | My got my mathematics test's marks and could not believe that it
was true. In the past I would have at least 80% marks. Was I
getting weaker at studies ? This made me feel that I should not
expect too much from going to the university. | null |
disgust | My friend and I worked for the community centre by holding a booth.
One day my friend went off to another booth to play. This
meant that I was very busy and could not maintain order. His
behaviour disgusted me. | null |
shame | When I was in a bus on my way to the examination centre, a man
sitting opposite me kept looking at me continously. I did not know
what was wrong. When I reached the centre I started strolling around
as I still had a little time. Suddenly a man came and whispered "You
have forgotten to zip up your trousers." I was at a loss to say anything
and I felt very embarrassed. When I thought of the bus incident I felt
even more ashamed. | null |
guilt | At secondary school, one of my classmates lost her locker key.
During a class I saw two other classmates holding a key and
talking secretly. I do not know why I suspected them, also
another classmate supported me. He remembers that these people
had only one key in the key-ring, this had seemed strange to him.
Besides another classmate said that he had seen them selling
books at a book-shop and they should not have had such books. I
told the teacher and the person was caught. He had sold the
books and was forced to quit school. I found that I had not
helped him as he stole later on also. I felt guilty | null |
joy | One night, my boyfriend expressed his love for me in the canteen in
the presence of my friends by giving me a present. | null |
fear | After listening to ghost stories with my classmates I had to back
alone to the hostel at night. I had to walk through a long and
quiet road and I was scared of meeting a ghost. | null |
anger | I came across a girl at the school bus-stop, I had seen her
several friends as she was a friend's friend. However my friend
had never introduced me to her and when she got off the bus I
smiled at her but she did not respond pretending not to have seen
me. Her arrogant behaviour made me sick and angry. | null |
sadness | My examination results were not satisfactory even though I had
tried my best. Then I started wondering about my abilities for
the major subject. However I did not know how to choose my major
subject if I were to change it. | null |
disgust | When my roommate and I had dinner together we decided as to who
would clean the bowls. One day when I came back from school I
found that she had not cleaned up. Since I had to cook dinner I
cleaned them myself and felt unhappy and disgusted. | null |
shame | When I asked my classmate to teach me to do my homework, he asked
me to study by myself first but I did not do it. When he asked me
if I had studied, I felt very ashamed. | null |
guilt | I escaped from communicating with God for a long time. I did not
read the scriptures and I did not pray. I felt that I was
getting further and further away from God. I felt guilty as this
was because of my laziness. | null |
joy | When two female classmates and I were having lunch, we chatted and
cracked jokes, I was very happy. However, I felt that I may have
said something inappropriate which might cause them to have a bad
impression of me. | null |
fear | I did not do well in one of the subjects last term. I was
afraid that I would fail. My result was a grade D, though it was
not good I still passed. I felt more comfortable then. | null |
anger | My friend half-teasingly called me a bad nickname. I felt
insulted and kicked his hip in anger. I was stable later and did
not feel angry at him. In fact I was afraid that the other
friends who were with us would think that I was an intolerant
person. However I could not apologize, so I pretended that
nothing had happened and smiled when I left. My friend did not
say anything but just watched me leave. | null |
sadness | Last night I did not do very well in one of the subjects. Before
the result was announced I feared that I would fail. Finally I
got a D and as the results of the other subjects were not all
good I felt a little sad. | null |
disgust | Whenever I spoke to a female classmate I felt disgusted. She
said meaningless things and seemed to indicate something to me
but I did not love/like her. | null |
shame | Once a female classmate told me that the clothes I wore seemed to
be a child's clothes. On hearing this I felt a little ashamed and
I criticized her clothes though there was nothing wrong with
them. | null |
guilt | Once while playing tennis with my classmate I lost a few tennis
balls. I found one near the tennis court and took it to be mine
despite thinking that it might belong to the student in the next
court. I felt guilty. Later someone came to me to claim the
ball and I gave it back to him. | null |
joy | When I received a letter from the university telling me that my
application had been accepted. | null |
fear | At primary school the teacher caught me cheating during a
dictation. | null |
anger | Someone spread rumours about me. | null |
sadness | One night my father suddenly suffered from a heart attack which
lead to breathing difficulties. | null |
disgust | The curriculum of the year ! The English course was very heavy.
I had not prepared and the teacher asked several questions
during class. The students were not ready to answer the
questions and the teacher was frustated. | null |
shame | I forgot to zip up my trousers, this was not noticed by anyone. | null |
guilt | Peeping. | null |
joy | I had a picnic with old classmates, we chatted and played games. | null |
fear | At night when I was alone at home (all the family members usually
get together at that time) someone knocked vigorously on the
door. | null |
anger | When I saw that my bed at the hostel was a mess I guessed that
someone else had used my daily necessities. I felt that my personal
sanity had been affected. | null |
sadness | During the Physics experiment session I did not understand the
content of the experiment and did not know how to do it. | null |
disgust | A man sexually aggressed a small girl in the bus but the girl did
not dare to speak out. | null |
shame | Being unable to stop urinating on the bus. | null |
guilt | There were old people in a crowded bus and I did not have the
courage to give them my seat. I closed my eyes to sleep and then
opened my book to read. In my heart I wanted to give them the
seat. | null |
joy | It was the first time that I gave a birthday present to my friend.
She wrote me a letter as she is my girlfriend. The content of
the letter was so sweet that it made me feel very happy.
| null |
fear | It was a week before the higher level results were announced. I
had tried and failed many times and this was the last time that
I was taking the exam. I knew that if i failed again I woulld
have to enter the society. I imagined things during this period
- I dreamt that I had entered university and it was a nice
experience. When I thought about the future, an unexplainable
fear rose in me. I feared being a worker and not having a bright
prospect, I also feared the criticism of my relatives as my
brother had gone to university. Whenevr I thought of this issue
I could not eat or concentrate, and my heart beat increased. | null |
anger | The surname of my brother was different from ours. He often
grinned at home and provoked others for the pleasure of it. This
made me angry. | null |
sadness | When I was in primary 6, my father died. I was very young then
and did not know what had happened. The weeping of my relatives
and my tears made me sad. | null |
guilt | At hostel, my roommate was a very selfish person and would avoid
doing anyhting that did not concern him. A few of us prepared lunch
together and had decided to share the work. My roomate had
promised to do the same but I had to wash the bowls everytime
after dinner. I tried to wait and thought that he would realize
his fault. I did not want to tell him to do the work as he is a
university student and ought to have self-respect. He
disappointed me and so every time I saw him I tried to avoid him
and did not want to keep any contact with him. | null |
