Cities-hopping

该尽兴时，就尽情地玩。


Chances don't come a second time. Same with opportunities. Travel mates. Fate. Friends. FAMILY. :)



行ってきます。じゃ。



A place that I had always wanted to visit since ten years ago. Will update soon after I have gone.
There's another place S since I had always wanted to go since 2001, let's see when that will come true.
Another two places J and K are nearer, and they are places I had wanted to visit since ten years ago.. this too shall come true soon. :) No plans yet... but travel mates are always present. heheh.

Hello. - Adele

Kept hearing this in loop in the car ride for the past two days.



Songs that bring out the ghosts in you.

Remembering and forgetting.

You can never seem to forget the things you want to forget.. and never seem to remember the things that you want to remember. Such irony.

Satisfied!!

Nothing feels better than finishing a novel after months of no reading, especially when it isn't a crappy novel. :)

Even better than finishing a drama (sometimes), in that you don't feel empty for finishing something good (like the ending of good drama) but a sense of satisfaction (from completing a great novel).

回家

回家、到家的感覺真好。

原來這種“家”的感覺早已經在我們的意識田中。

打從降落那一刻，就覺得好舒服，像回到家園一樣。日日活著，沒有一點突兀的感覺。就想去港島一樣，那種無法言喻的一股家的感覺。

原來這裏和我的感覺如此相近。

這個“家”，要讓我找到什麽呢？

這些“家”，是短暫還是長遠的淵源？

輸非輸，贏非贏～

輸非輸，贏非贏～

一位和尚上山砍柴歸來時在下山路上，發現一個少年捕到一隻蝴蝶捂在手中。

少年看到和尚說：“和尚，我們打個賭怎麼樣？”和尚問：“如何賭？”少年說：“你說我手中的蝴蝶是死的還是活的？ 你說錯了，你那擔柴就歸我了。”

和尚同意，於是猜道：“你手上的蝴蝶是死的。” 少年哈哈大笑，說：“你說錯了。”

少年把手張開，蝴蝶從他手裏飛走了。和尚說：“好！這擔柴歸你了。”說完，和尚放下柴， 開心地走了。

少年不知和尚為何如此高興，但是看到面前的一擔柴，也顧不上細思，便高高興興地把柴禾挑回了家。父親問起這擔柴的由來。少年如實講了。

父親聽兒子說完，忽然伸手給了兒子一巴掌，怒道：“你啊你！好糊塗啊！你真以為自己贏了嗎？我看你是輸也不知道怎麼輸的啊！” 少年一頭霧水。

父親命令少年擔起柴，父子二人一起將柴送回寺院。少年的父親見到了那位和尚，說道：“師父，我家孩子得罪了您，請您原諒。”和尚點點頭，微笑不語。

在回家的路上，少年說出了心中的疑問。父親嘆了口氣，說道：「那位師父說蝴蝶死了，你才會放了蝴蝶，贏得一擔柴；師父若說蝴蝶活著，你便會捏死蝴蝶，也能贏得一擔柴。

你以為師父不知道你的算盤嗎？

人家輸的是一擔柴，

而贏的是慈悲啊。」

輸、贏、賺、賠，常常折磨我們自己一生。

常常在我們認以為自己贏了的時候，其實可能輸了更多。

這段話很有意思 :  「有能力時，就做點大事；沒能力時，就做點小事；有權力，就做點好事；沒權力，就做點正經事；有閒錢，就做點善事；沒有錢，就做點家務事；動得了，就多做點事；動不了，就回憶開心的往事。  

我們肯定都會做錯事，但要盡量避免做傻事，堅決不要做壞事。

生活其實沒啥事，一輩子也就這麼回事！    *人生就是要活得精彩!*

看似输了这场豁出去的‘赌注’，却赢得了意乐和学习。

Triviality.

Sometimes the triviality of those trivia and entertainment news never cease to amaze me.

For instance, they would try to find out or speculate who's the other passenger together with the royalty's sister on the river taxi on their honeymoon. Or how a certain "c" word tweeted by a famous world-changing persona is being pronounced by the media.

It is, no doubt, quite interesting, because sometimes, you get to see how absurd, how daring, or how mundane, how inspiring some things are.

But at the end of it all, what do you gain out of it?
