Thoughts for the day: The path of roses & 傻笑 "Sha Xiao"
This time, let's take this entry with three steps =3
Step 1 ~ Self-rant:
Study break is coming. 3 weeks I'll be away. I should use this time to stay hidden and away. Maybe lock myself up. Probably then, I can think better.
There's nothing more painful than being so close but yet so far. Yet you still move on in denial.
何が欲しいか？自分の心を信じないだから。
Sometimes, you just need to make up your mind and go with it.
Sometimes, you just have to wake up and realise that reality really does hurt.
And in the end, you just need to practice caution and protect yourself,
Tread carefully on the path you take, and don't cross the boundary.
以前的勇气和坚持， 还有那高傲的宗旨， 现在跑去哪里了？
或是， 你还学不会。。

Step 2 ~ Story telling:
There was once a story I heard, and maybe we all should learn a thing or two from this. For this holds true, and can influence all of us in a very significant way.
In here, I shall name this "The Path of Roses"
There was once a boy who was enjoying his leisurely stroll,
The stroll he was so used to and so familiar with,
As he has done so since time long forgotten,
In the barren land that was dark and grey but he felt wild and free.
But this day something out of ordinary happened,
He stumbled upon a path he had never noticed before,
Where on both sides of the path stood rose bushes filled with roses of different sizes,
And the ground was glowing in red and pink from the petals of roses.
There was something about this path that caught his attention,
And he was lured towards it in a way that he felt like embracing the roses,
But before he could step into the path he was halted by a force,
A power voice resonated within his mind that caused his heart to race faster.
"I am Love and this is the Path of Roses,
You have gained our attention and we would like to paint your world in colours,
Pick one of the Roses in the path and walk to the end of the Path back into your world,
The Rose will be your guide and your support from there on."
"If you choose to take the Path you will have to abide to three simple rules:
You may only pick one Rose
You may not step backwards
You may choose only once"
With that the boy felt the binding force on him vanished,
He has never felt this excited before in his life,
Without a second though in his mind,
He dashed into the Path....
Keeping in mind Love's three rules,
He carefully surveyed each and every Rose in the Path,
Some were delicate and smooth, some were vibrant in colour,
Some puffed up scent like perfume, some were hidden behind its thorns.
He walked on and on and there were so many that he liked
He couldn't make up his mind as everytime he sees a Rose he liked,
He would stop and pause and think to himself,
"I'm sure there will be a better one further down the Path"
Sometimes, he was right,
Sometimes, he was wrong,
He was too engrossed in looking for the better Rose,
And realised this a moment too late when he had reached the end of the Path.
The Path disappeared in that very instant,
And he was back at his lonely and dark world,
With not a single Rose in his hand,
He was left with only regret: the first Rose he saw was the one he liked the most.

Step 3 ~ Music sharing:
The finale of this post is this song that I want to share with you.
They say that time is of the essence. This is by all means true. The accuracy of timing cannot be emphasised any further.
Was it too early to start? Was I too late? Is this the right time?

Looking at my phone, there was no signal
Worried that I can't receive your reply
Not afraid that you have only sent to me a smiley face :)
I will also be reluctant to delete it
(C)
The radio begins broadcasting the weather forecast
Reminds me of the jacket you used to shelter me from the rain
(T)The TV in the living room is showing a series
Envious that they are arguing because of love
(J) In front of me, you smile and pretend to not know
(C) Actually I did receive the message of your confession
(T) (J) You said my love came too late (C) Why did your love come late
We can only hug each other like friends
(J) You said his efforts came earlier than me
(C) The gentleness towards you can only be kept in my heart
(T) (J) You said my love came too late (C) Why did your love come late
What should be done so that both of us will not be hurt
(J)
I remember the drink that you like
And I queue up to buy the bread that you like to eat
But I can only smile at you from afar
And cannot even hold your hands
(C) You said you have a lot of movie tickets (J) You know (C) That it is not (T) A coincidence
(T) (C) But it's very sweet that you are afraid that I will be bored (J) But that I am afraid that you will be bored
(T) (C) You know my heartbeat clearer than him (J) I know your heartbeat clearer than him
(J) In front of me, you smile and pretend to not know
(C) Actually I did receive the message of your confession
(T) (J) You said my love came too late (C) Why did your love come late
We can only hug each other like friends
(J) You said his efforts came earlier than me
(C) The gentleness towards you can only be kept in my heart
(T) (J) You said my love came too late (C) Why did your love come late
What should be done so that both of us will not be hurt
Final Chorus
(J) In front of me, you smile and pretend to not know
(C) It's not that he's not good, just that we talk lesser and lesser
(T) (J) You said my love came too late (C) Why did your love come late
Missed the taste of happiness
(J) Using memories to take pictures of you is hard to bear
(C) Actually I was once moved by you
(T) (J) You said my love came too late (C) Why did your love come late
The right person at the wrong time, but can't let go
