It's a damn cold night...

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.

Don't judge a life by one difficult season.

独自并不代表孤单,在一群人中狂笑着有时更寂寞。

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.
-- St Francis.
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.
-- Sloman
不管你会不会忘了我,我只想告诉你一个秘密。
--《不能说的·秘密》

Every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind.
-- Deepak Chopra

The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death but when I stand in front of you yet you don't know that I love you.
-- Tagore
Do do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.
-- Matt 6:34

まだ不器用に笑うね まだ悲しみが似合うから
キミに降る痛みを 拭ってあげたい すべて I for you

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.

 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.

“来了。”
她闭上双眼,耳边只有风的声音,很强烈但很温柔地呼唤着她。她觉得前所未有地放松,就让风把她那柔弱的身躯带走。轻轻的,没有束缚的。小小的,没有什么的。
随风,随风。到哪里,到那里……

a job gets u nowhere. relationships do. that's the beauty of life. and that's where it sucks too.


from here:
有些人一直没机会见,等有机会见了,却又犹豫了,相见不如不见。
有些事一直没机会做,等有机会了,却不想再做。
有些话埋藏在心中好久,没机会说,等有机会说的时候,却说不出口。
有些爱一直没机会爱,等有机会了,却已经不爱。
有些人很多机会相见的,却总找借口推脱,想见的时候已经没有机会。
有些话有很多机会说的,却想着以后再说,要说的时候,已经没有机会。
有些事有很多机会做的,却一天一天推迟,想做的时候却发现没有机会。
有些爱给了你很多机会,却不在意没在乎,想重视的时候已经没有机会爱了。
人生有时候,总是很讽刺。
一转身可能就是一世。说好永远的,不知怎么就散了。
最后自己想来想去竟然也搞不清当初是什么原因分开彼此的。
然后,你忽然醒悟,感情原来是这么脆弱的。
经得起风雨,却经不起平凡;风雨同船,天晴便各自散。
也许只是赌气,也许只是因为小小的事。
幻想着和好的甜蜜,或重逢时的拥抱,
那个时候会是边流泪边捶打对方,还傻笑着。
该是多美的画面。
没想到的是,一别竟是一辈子。
于是,各有各的生活,各自爱着别的人。
曾经相爱,现在已互不相干。
即使在同一个小小的城市,也不曾再相逢。
某一天某一刻,走在同一条街,也看不见对方。
先是感叹,后来是无奈。
也许你很幸福,因为找到另一个适合自己的人。
也许你不幸福,因为可能你这一生就只有那个人真正用心在你身上。

朋友别哭 - 吕方

有没有一扇窗
能让你不绝望
看一看花花世界
原来象梦一场
有人哭有人笑
有人输有人老
到结局还不是一样

有没有一种爱
能让你不受伤
这些年堆积多少
对你的知心话
什么酒醒不了
什么痛望不掉
向前走
就不可能回头望

朋友别哭
我依然是你心灵的归宿
朋友别哭
要相信自己的路
红尘中
有太多茫然痴心的追逐
你的苦
我也有感触

朋友别哭
我一直在你心灵最深处
朋友别哭
我陪你就不孤独
人海中
难得有几个真正的朋友
这份情
请你不要不在乎

好听的电视主题曲,只能从电台听到,连歌词都不容易找。直接从填词人那里拿的。

安全區﹣林倛玉

靜靜等候 一陣暖流
暖和被時間冷落的巷口
想你有多濃 自己也不太懂
寂寞的味覺如何形容 

你說溫柔 是一個詛咒
感動過的人終究都會走
我雖不認同 假裝都諒解心就越疼痛
而藥方是能夠重逢

安全區 是你的回憶
很美麗 於是你走不開怕回不去

只可惜 再努力也只準我留在原地
愛是等待唯一的動力

你走以後 想念是魔咒
緊握你說過的話不罷手
我們都相同 把愛裝進了沉默這信封
寄不出只好等重逢

安全區 是你的回憶
很美麗 你的心除了他誰進得去

到如今 我還在這裡哪怕只是多餘
愛是等待所有的動力

喜欢演唱会的感觉。喜欢阿信唱歌时大家跟着一起合唱的感觉。喜欢冠佑停下他的鼓时大家跟着安静的感觉。喜欢阿信唱得激昂时差点破音的感觉。



部分歌词如下

單純的孩子是否變了樣
跟著遊戲規則學著成長

所謂的彩虹不過就是光
只要心還透明 就能折射希望

其實我們都一模一樣
無名卻充滿了莫名渴望
一生等 一次 發光

寧願重傷也 不願悲傷
讓傷痕變成了我的徽章
刺在我心臟 永遠不忘

每個孤獨天亮
我都一個人唱
默默的讓這旋律
和我心交響

就算會有一天
沒人與我合唱
至少在我的心中
還有個尚未崩壞的地方
我心中尚未崩壞的地方 - 五月天

your only son, no sin to hide
but you have sent him from your side
to walk upon this guilty sod
and to become the lamb of God

oh lamb of God
sweet lamb of God
i love the holy lamb of God
oh wash my in your precious blood
my Jesus Christ the lamb of God

your gift of love, they crucified
they laughed and scorned him as he died
the humble king, they named a fraud
and sacrificed the lamb of God


btw the aforementioned guy is a fictitious character from a drama. but the guy in rl doesnt seem too bad also. HA.
guys are a joy. but the problem here is, guys are a chore as well. and the bigger problem is, they come together, bundled as a package. so its joy + chore, or no joy no chore. so which is better? well depends on whether yours gives u more joy or more chore i guess. and whether u look at SR or LR. hiya i can go on forever like this so i should just shuddup.
the illusion: i'm v free. the fact: i'm not supposed to be free.

i was rushing to catch the buses to go home, but i couldnt help but pause for a while, looking at the seniors' farewell gift and certificate. it wasnt tear-jerking. it wasnt overwhelming. but this is definitely smth close to my heart when i watched the farewell video and ppt, with words and pictures dedicated to each one of us.
the last time. this is the last time. but at least i know its the last. better than not knowing and coming to regret after.

everyone shows his pain and handles it differently. it could be outward indifference, it could be a fervent search for answers, it could be holing up silently, it could be anything. he doesn't just move on with life like that. its only a matter of whether u see it as how he sees it, whether u feel it as how he feels it, whether u understand it as how he understands it.
u can't feel that much guilt without love.
this has never been about what u missed. this is about why u missed it.

i’m taking a ride off to one side
it is a personal thing
where?
when i can’t stand
up in this cage i’m not regretting

i don’t need a better thing
i’d settle for less
it’s another thing for me
i just have to wander through this world
alone

stop before you fall
into the hole that i have dug here
rest even as you
are starting to feel the way i used to

i don’t need a better thing
just to sound confused
don’t talk about everyone
i am not amused by you

i’m gonna lose you
yeah i’m gonna lose you
if i’m gonna lose you
i’m gonna lose you,

yeah i’m gonna lose you
if i’m gonna lose you

went to bukit timah hill for my fieldtrip today. in the rain. so u thought we just went up the even cement road like during cultural mapping back in nj? sorry we went through the forest itself through supposed tracks and stairs. but... tracks? stairs? sorry, they just turned into sediment-filled streams and rapids in the rain. it was so humid our specs started fogging. and the cicada were so loud we thought it was renovation. but it was really quite an experience haha.
we were too busy looking at the ground and trekking, oh i mean treading through the forest floor that i didnt have time (nor hands) to take photos. But here's my shoes and socks for u at the end of the day.

其实,对我来说,读部落格跟阅读很相似。我读的,是一个又一个live的自传。今天,我花了一整晚的时间,读着一个又一个、一篇又一篇这好几个月、或是一年来我所忽略的部落格。我不觉得我浪费了时间。我得到的,是和阅读过后有的同样饱满的感觉,是一种心灵的饱足感。我得到的不是学术上的知识,而是借别人的眼睛看别人的世界得到的莫名的满足。
读着读着,有一些感触。
长大了,该让你去飞了。问、谈论,是因为关心、担心。我一直没有说,但是一路走来,我一直在后面笑着。微笑着,欣慰地微笑着。因为人生一些美好的东西,是时候让你知道了,即便它会带来悲伤,它还是很美好的。
