Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
いつか失ってしまうのかな。薄れてゆく笑顔と君を守りたい。

If fate is a wheel, then we are the sand that is crushed between the cogs.

At times it may not even seem rational, but the heart has a computing ability that is far more accurate and far more precise than anything within the limits of rational thought.
-- Deepak Chopra
于是我让孤独更孤独,有一种不是悲伤的悲伤,才是刻骨铭心的悲伤。
Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.

People's actions are influenced by their expectations. People respond not just to what is happening now, but to what they anticipate will happen in the future.

不管你会不会忘了我,我只想告诉你一个秘密。

supposedly an adult, she thinks like an adult (too much, if you ask me). deep inside, she is nothing but a little girl, with her little lofty dreams and ideals. and oops, she is breaking them, one by one.
more often than not, she is just an angsty emo kid.

she is only but
a passer-by,

an onlooker,
a walking shadow.

After all, what is in the past but what we choose to remember? They can choose not to hide it, to take what's broken, to feel the pain and know that it will heal. They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.

Others desire to experience the blessedness of giving, but we often frustrate them by refusing their help.

 Memories were also a way of looking in a mirror, but it was a jagged mirror of broken glass, one that cast imperfect reflections. Like shards, these memories drew blood.

Responsibility means not blaming anyone or anything for your situation, including yourself... Whatever relationships you have attracted in your life at this moment are precisely the ones you need in your life at this moment. There is a hidden meaning behind all events, and this hidden meaning is serving your own evolution.

I don't know, I don't know. Sometimes I feel like I'm a pair of eyes and ears, and I'm just trying to stay safe and make sense of what's happening. I know what to avoid, what to worry about.I'm like those kids who live with gunfire going off around them. I don't want pain. I don't want to die. I don't want to see other people around me die. But I don't have anything left inside me to figure out where I fit in or what I want. If I want anything, it's to know what's possible to want.

its the last day of the year, and maybe its so-called customary to look back at the year that just passed and reflect a little yeah..
as with every year, year 2006 was filled with ups and downs.. failures that dun seem that big anymore, failures that still look big.. successes that.. (shit was i successful in anything?? oops.. haha) happiness that is locked in my memories, happiness that became just a little bittersweet.. sadness and tears that no one saw or knew.. an emotional rollercoaster, and i would say its a little miracle i lived on till this day.. if u dun die frm the experiences, those experiences enrich u.. u learn smth frm each of them, and i try to write these down before i forget them (knowing tt i have terrible terrible stm haha).. u lose some, u gain some, so why dun u look at wad u gained, and not dwell on wad u lost? (hehe blogging = talking to myself and it works ^^)
and u look on, into the year 2007, have some goals u'd like to achieve (and pray u dun forget them a few hrs later), and u cross your fingers and hope u'd never make the same mistakes u made before.. because these hurt the most and u'd only make yourself relive those exact moments u dread..
heehee lets end on a happy note.. happy new year! XD going out tml with gang! yoohoo~my 1st new yr day out i think.. hmmmm hehe

hey ppl i wun be online till i solve my com prob.. since im using my laptop to go online, i've realized i can't log onto msn.. i thought it was the server problem due to the earthquake, but apparently no.. so when i find the time to settle it i shall.. mean while, tata~
today was nice.. zoo went out.. the ENTIRE zoo.. including mel who was in aust.. and BAO WHO ALWAYS CANNOT COME.. yoohoo~~ but neoprint was.. was.. was.. 很大的打击!(泣)
a v nice song we sang today.. was a nice singing session.. hoho
i will not make the same mistakes that you did
i will not let myself
cause my heart so much misery
i will not break the way you did
you fell so hard
i've learned the hard way
to never let it get that far

because of you
i never stray too far from the sidewalk
because of you
i learned to play on the safe side so i don't get hurt
because of you
i find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
because of you
i am afraid

i lose my way
and it's not too long before you point it out
i cannot cry
because i know that's weakness in your eyes
i'm forced to fake
a smile, a laugh everyday of my life
my heart can't possibly break
when it wasn't even whole to start with

i watched you die
i heard you cry every night in your sleep
i was so young
you should have known better than to lean on me
you never thought of anyone else
you just saw your pain
and now i cry in the middle of the night
for the same damn thing

because of you
i never stray too far from the sidewalk
because of you
i learned to play on the safe side so i don't get hurt
because of you
i try my hardest just to forget everything
because of you
i don't know how to let anyone else in
because of you
i'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
because of you
i am afraid

because of you
because of you
because of you by kelly clarkson

i shan't bother blogging abt my trip to china.. hmm.. coz.. like nothing much to blog abt.. haha.. have been busy with carolling these few days..
1st performance was on the 22nd afternoon.. it was terrible.. really v bad.. i was pretty scared things were just going to go down down down from there.. yet..
2nd performance.. 22nd evening.. it got better.. in fact it was significantly better.. i guess coz we saw how bad the first one was.. in fact the guys and the sops stayed behind after the first performance to practise santa claus is coming to town.. i think we gained more confidence.. a few more audience.. got ppl taking photos.. hmmm
3rd performance.. 23rd afternoon.. to me this was the best performance.. we had alot of audience.. in fact alot of kids.. they were so cute! some actually juz sat down to listen to us.. someone was taking a video.. hehe.. i think we enjoyed ourselves the best here too.. we were in a jolly mood:D
4th performance.. 23rd evening.. wasnt too bad lah.. but i coughed alot before the performance.. (im sorry..)
5th and last performance.. 24th afternoon.. standard went down again.. coz we were all losing our voices coz many of us were sick.. we were tired too.. it was pretty obvious from our singing.. we actually went flat for ding dong.. siao liao haha.. towards the end there was no sop1s anymore.. coz no sop could reach the note with our voices lidat.. haha.. best thing was.. bona the cmb (cultural management board) chair came to see us perform.. doink doink.. haha
im sick.. so christmas wasn't too exciting for me.. did some thinking today.. bleahz..
heard this song on tv when i was still in china.. old old song.. ai de dai jia..

当我们找到一个可以让自己舒服自在成长的空间与年月,即使明明已经度过了,留念在所难免,就像我们不能忘怀甜蜜的初恋、纯真的年少、真心的朋友、以及逝去的友情,就是不想走。因为很多人与事,环境一变就很难重拾旧情,不管当时有多灿烂,一旦离场就只能怀念,而只有怀念才是最感动的。
《一旦离场》-吴庆康
