Rage.

Somehow I kind of agree with that statement -- Courage comes from RAGE.
Reminds me of Sophie.

I'm gonna do something courageous.

J Rabbit

It's very seldom that I love female vocalists with just one listening.
But this indie group (and vocalist) is so very different!!
I love her voice that is full of expressions! Furthermore, their cover of MJ's Man in the Mirror is superb! It's seldom that I find cover songs on par or even better than the original.. theirs is something totally different and refreshing. :)
Listen if you have the time!!

Happy Things
Man in the Mirror

I've had had Chinese moments for the past few entries, haha.
Weird huh, waaay before that were all entries in English.
Anyway, a quote, simple but true in its simplest form, which I wish to attain --

There is beauty in knowing when its time to rest.
The exhausted version of you is not the best.
Breathe, eat, sleep & restart!

有ｄ時候，真相真係殘忍！

要是我唔知道，就唔會咁痛苦啦。懵懵懂懂去，似懂非懂回。
點解要畀我知道真相，讓我心咁唔安？每一天一定會谂幾多次。
雖然佢哋話，係你嘅就係你嘅，唔係你嘅就唔屬於你，你縱使要，求神拜佛都無晒用！但呢咯感覺就似剝咗人機會咁。點會咁？
原來，有d嘢，真係需要善意的謊言，或者後知後覺。
越大越會呃自己，初初還話無論多痛苦，都要畀我知道真相。
Ignorance is bliss? さぁ，わからない。。。
依家就咁。
點？點？點？退出唔係辦法，俾咗錢，做晒完全新嘅安排。。。
我...係唔係就咁認命...？　Ｔ＿Ｔ

受之有愧，所以我会加倍努力。

近日来，得了两庄不应名正言顺获得的事——一餐酬谢大家的付出的一餐、一个学习提升的千载难逢的机会。
第一个，我并不觉得自己真的做到或付出到能够享用一餐的荣誉……我倒是宁愿把位子让给更应得的人。唉，无所推堂，还是去了。>.<
第二个，近来没有真正参与活动，但是却获提名上提升课，而且甚至可以说是另外一个人的“牺牲”我才有此难以相信的机会。
如此得来不易，真的让我受宠若惊。
⊙_⊙
唯一能让我的良心过得去的就是，因为受之有愧，所以我会加倍努力。

定风波

还的的确确是如此。见过了近十年的朋友，发现了他的变化，但依旧不改昔日情怀。可能大了，大家便也更加坦诚，触及的话题也更多了。至少我们都知道定位，不再有尴尬青年、扭扭捏捏的局面（这不过是个比喻）。
如果人能够回到最初那一面，借一借名句‘套用’，还真的是，归去，也无风雨也无晴，仍然是以前那个我们。

愿意抽空与你见个面，话话家常的人，是值得留着一辈子的人/朋友。

你我皆凡人。

最伟大的名人、创作者……也不过是凡人。

这些虚无飘渺的名誉……干啥强求？
只要有心，只要想把一切做得最好，对得起自己，未尝不是活着的一件乐事？

~亲眼见到、合照、甚至与本人心仪的作家交换几句客套话后

的感悟。

即使见到了陈某某，握个手，签个名，

我看到头来还不是一样？

只不过，他的歌声陪我度过了不少的日子和年少岁月……

难道，你就真的认识他们吗？

即使把他的生辰八字、

一生履历背得滚瓜烂熟，

你真的认识他吗？

呵呵。

可能，这也为什么我会疯狂地那么‘理智’。
这可是别人给予我的评语，哈哈。
太有保留的爱。

The satisfaction derived from seeing the number of high priority emails dropped from double digits to single digit -- priceless. Hah.

Just realized something today: my Workplace colour is orange too!
Like, mindblown?!
My JC open house tee was orange.
My hall colour is orange.
My faculty colour is orange too!
Even those society I joined, their shirt colours are orange too. -_-"
zzz, the undying affinity with orange. (at least I'm glad orange is one of my favourite colours, phew!)

Extravagance.

Sometimes I ask myself, is all these admin & all necessary evil? Will I be blessed with weekday nights and weekends workless (I shan't be greedy, half a month?) if I were in another job? Will I have the luxury to go on holidays as and when I like, and be able to see the four seasons in different countries? (Be careful here, I am NOT complaining or dissatisfied with what I am doing. In fact I am doing what I've always wanted to do, and it's a joy. It's just human.. to compare options and alternatives.. all the What-Ifs.)

Such late nights out, chilling somewhere with ambience, this extravagance, this luxury, the rendezvous... will I ever get to enjoy them?

Tonight's such a rare evening out, where I do not have pressing things left undone nor left my Workplace in a frenzy, and I have nothing else to worry about for next day. Unlike the other times with other BFFs, a hurried dinner/birthday celebration, the worries piled at the back of the mind, eyelids drooping with fatigue, the hurried goodbyes we bade each other, mind reeling fast on the way home and planning what to nail down first after a quick shower & to catch some beauty sleep as quick as possible.. It has all got nothing to do with being a worrywart.

I am getting down to analyzing my life.. I hope I get some conclusion out of it all.

Perhaps, these are nothing but a bad time manager's 

excuses.

"The scene was not without a mixture of awe, such as must always
invest the spectacle of guilt and shame in a fellow-creature,
before society shall have grown corrupt enough to smile, instead of
shuddering at it."  ~ The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne

来真的……

这种虚无缥缈的东西……听到也似乎是种幻听。
这两日以来，倒已听到了了两遍，还略显得刺耳，甚至有一些抗拒。  =S

信得太真，若危言耸听下而变得要得太切，未免将来陷得太深…跌得太重…

这种心理真是要不得……

无论如何，我仍然会努力。
即使那是一种未曾想过或考虑过的事情，即使现在已成为一种义无反顾的决定， 即使将来的一切未在掌控之中……我仍然会努力。

因为，为的并不是为了那五斗米，而是范仲淹的负担。

挑水 和 挖井

有两个和尚他们分别住在相邻的两座山上的庙里。这两座山之间有一条溪，于是这两个和尚每天都会在同一时间下山去溪边挑水，久而久之他么变成为了好朋友。就这样时间在每天挑水中不知不觉已经过了五年。

突然有一天左边这座山的和尚没有下山挑水，右边那座山的和尚心想：”他大概睡过头了。”便不以为意。哪知道第二天左边这座山的和尚还是没有下山挑水，第三天也一样。过了一个星期还是一样，直到过了一个月右边那座山的和尚终于受不了，他心想：”我的朋友可能生病了，我要过去拜访他，看看能帮上什么忙。”

于是他便爬上了左边这座山，去探望他的老朋友。等他到了左边这座山的庙，看到他的老友之后大吃一惊，因为他的老友正在庙前打太极拳，一点也不像一个月没喝水的人。他很好奇地问：”你已经一个月没有下山挑水了，难道你可以不用喝水吗？”
左边这座山的和尚说：”来来来，我带你去看。”

于是他带着右边那座山的和尚走到庙的后院，指着一口井说：”这五年来，我每天做完功课后都会抽空挖这口井，即使有时很忙，能挖多少就算多少。如今终于让我挖出井水，我就不用再下山挑水，我可以有更多时间练我喜欢的太极拳。”



启示：我们在公司领的薪水再多，那都是挑水。而把握下班后的时间挖一口属于自己的井，培养自己另一方面的实力，未来当我们年纪大了，体力拼不过年轻人了，依然还是有水喝，而且还能喝得很悠闲。
