Thoughts for the day: Motive, drive, effort

There was once a young bird. Everyday, it flew miles and miles flapping its wings strongly, against torrents of wind, just to reach to the far end of the world so that it may be with its mate. Although it had to return to its nest at the end of the day, it felt it was worth the while...



Then one night, it flew back to the same place... But all it finds is the chilling breeze, stalking shadows of the trees, and an unpleasant quietness.

It stalled at the familiar branch for a long while.. Eyes darting to the source of every sound it hears.. It feels the void forming within, the darkness that slowly consumes the warmth of its beating heart..


That night, it took the bird the longest time to reach back its nest. Sitting within the confines of the dead straws, it peered into the night with its lonely eyes. Slowly, slowly.. it fell asleep...

From then on... Nothing felt worth the while anymore.. nothing felt the same... every thing seemed like a fleeting memory of the past, and along with its drive, the emptiness took away its motive of life...

Thoughts for the day: Archive or Trash?

Memories of the past~~  some things are worth keeping, some things are not.

Let me ask you, what is it that you think are worth keeping?
Do you go by the general rule of:
"Keep only the happy memories, and remove the rest"?

As much as that may make you happier for the next few days, I believe that the question "To archive or to trash" should be answered with a more holistic view of things.

What you should consider... is if the entirety of it is worth keeping.

Keep, treasure and reminisce...... or
Throw, forget and regret

Maybe... that's why we always archive our mails at work =P

Fellow readers, choose wisely =)

Thoughts for the day: 姐姐立正向前走

Something that I started watching, and I can't stop. Haha...

林心如 is so cute and pretty in here =D




This little romance Taiwan series talks about 姐弟恋, where our main character here - Ruby Lin Xin Ru - plays a lady in her 30s, 汪明明. She's a script writer and is in love with a singer/actor, who is younger than she is. They got together quite early in the movie, but things didn't run smooth. Can she really date a younger person? Or is an older person more suitable?

I haven't watched much shows.. but somehow... this got me hooked.
Maybe because I can, in a way, connect...Nevertheless, I thought it was a good show, even if it's just to watch 林心如 =P

Thoughts for the day: Trust

1317 appeared to you, and in the form of a room number. How you trampled it over... 1317 never appeared to me though. I've not seen it for a long time already. I kinda miss it...

You've told me that us parting ways and you going to him are two separate issues. But Dear ah, I can't convince myself to believe you no matter how hard I want to believe that. Or maybe I just don't want to believe that? Hmm... Maybe...

信任， 当失去了， 真的会很难再次拥有。

You've left for 3 days, and then you came back with him. I'm sorry Dear, I never saw it as two separate issue...

But it's ok... It doesn't matter anymore.. As much as I hate it, I wish you well... and hopefully you'll have a happy ending.

Thoughts for the day: 变成陌生人

Another nice song from Cyndi 王心凌.

A pair of lovers, walking together on the same path, hand in hand.

Some may be able to continue on the same path together forever, till death do them apart. Sweet, serene, happy, loving, warm.....

There are also those bound to arrive at a split road. Maybe they were never meant to be forever. Taking each path from thence on their own, they proceed to find their next stop of happiness. Some may find it, some may not.

What becomes of these two who were once so happily together? Some may retain their friendship, some may not. But no matter the end, there is this distance that can never be amended forever... 从此， 就变成了陌生人 (From here on, turning into strangers)

王心凌 - 变成陌生人, "Turn into strangers"



作词：葛大为
作曲：徐佳莹
编曲：温奕哲

既然你想分
没有理由我再苦撑
我还不够好 抱歉我不否认

时间一晃动
记忆就模糊了
我们的爱没有防手震

我很努力想着你 却都失真
倒退的逆时针 慌乱陪衬
全世界静止了 我也真的失去你了

怎么不心疼
怎么会发生
我们两个人
快变成陌生人

失恋谁不闷
都不要再问
 
又醒着到清晨


Repeat from top, then continue:

爱情里 太多转折
我自己 找平衡
总之 离开了 祝福了
时间会治疗我吗

怎么不心疼
怎么会发生
我们两个人
快变成陌生人

失恋谁不闷
都不要再问
 
又醒着到清晨


又醒着到....清晨

English translation:
Since you want to separate
There's no reason for me to endure in pain
"I'm not good enough", I'm sorry I don't deny that

Once time begin to sway
Memories becomes a blur
Our love do not have a stabiliser

I'm trying hard to think of you, but all I get are distortions
The clock that is moving in reverse sets off disturbances
The whole world became quiet and still, and I really have lost you

How to not feel hurt?
How did it happen?
The two of us
Are quickly turning into strangers

Who is not depressed when one breaks up?
Don't ask anymore

Waking up early in the morning again

~~
Bridge:
There are too many twists and turns in a relationship
I'm trying to find a balancing point
Anyhow, I've left and given you my blessings
But will time be able to heal me?
~~

Thoughts for the day:不是你的错

On the way home today, the radio played this song.. A not so new song, but a very touching song (not to mention that it has a nice melody to it). A song that is reflective of a lot, a song that speak out a lot of silence.

Sometimes, it's not about who to blame, it's not about who's fault, it's not about why... Sometimes it just happens.

虽然分手是最心痛的出口， 但还是做了。那现在， 我们的未来， 就真的化成空了。

丁当 - 不是你的错, "Not your fault"



作詞：黃婷
作曲：林邁可

音樂停止了 引擎熄火了
窒息的溫柔 尖銳得赤裸
一刀一刀 往我心上割 往傷口裡戳
那麼折磨 為了甚麼

別說你難過 別再安慰我
最爛的理由 是你配不上我
我沒有你想像中脆弱 我會好好的
沒有甚麼 罪不可赦

再痛的痛苦淚水 換不回一點點感動
我不怪你 不是你的錯
再深的深情容忍 也不能讓你再愛我
我不怪你 不是你的錯

別說你難過 別再安慰我
最爛的理由 是你配不上我
我沒有你想像中脆弱 我會好好的
沒有甚麼 罪不可赦

再痛的痛苦淚水 換不回一點點感動
我不怪你 不是你的錯
再深的深情容忍 也不能讓你再愛我
我不怪你 不是你的錯

再痛的痛苦淚水 換不回一點點感動
我不怪你 不是你的錯
再深的深情容忍 也不能讓你再愛我
我不怪你 不是你的錯

我的世界 沒有你 也許更遼闊
就到這裡 錯了又 如何

English translation:
The music has stopped, and engines turned off
The suffocating gentleness is sharp as though naked
You cut through my heart and stab my wound one knife after another
Why suffer this torture?

Don't say you're sad, stop comforting me
The worst excuse, is that you're not fit for me
I'm not as weak as you think I am, I will be fine
There is no fault that cannot be forgiven

No matter how much more painful my tears are, it cannot be used to move your heart
I don't blame you, it's not your fault
No matter how much deeper is my emotional tolerance, it cannot get back your love
I don't blame you, it's not your fault


~~

My world may be bigger without you,
But now that it all ends here, so what if it's wrong?

Thoughts for the day: 给不到的幸福

It's hard to believe that it's already been 2 weeks since the day you called it.

"You seem ok." "You're coping it quite well" "Need to take leave?"

Am I hiding it so well? Or am I just merely cowering?

Reality hits hard.. But I guess, it's time. I'll continue walking down my life alone, at least for now... I'm glad you've found your happiness... Found your longed-for happiness.. Probably you will be lead a much better life now. The happiness that I could not give you, I hope he can.

I'll slowly pick up the pieces. Maybe one day, I'll be able to find all the scattered pieces and realise how a fulfilled heart looks and feels like.

Week 3... Basya!

Thoughts for the day: New year 2013

The new year came. This year, there's no fireworks. This year, there's not many companions (just my good ol' buddy Jian Hau).

It's a new start, a new beginning. The past shall be left at the past. The future shall be pursued. I'm hoping that one day, it'll come to light. =)

Folks, a happy new year to you. Make your resolutions, strive to keep it. Be happy, and no matter what happens, enjoy life as it is. It's a very mysterious journey, and you shall be the only one to truly apprehend it.
