Parodies of life

Someday..

While you always longed for independence, and then you realise how heavy responsibilities can be, how you wished you were a pampered child all over again..

While you always thought you knew what you wanted in life, and you stand at the crossroads realising you've never really thought about it..

While you always tell youself you'll shower more love to your family, and you realise how dear they actually are when they're no longer there anymore..

While you always wished you had more friends, and then you realise how little you've treasured those who have all along been standing with you..

While you always wanted to carve a career, and you irk yourself realising just how many backs you have to stab, how many friends you have to lose to get there..

While you always thought you'll wake up to see your loved ones, and then you realise how vulnerable life can be..

While you always wished you had told someone you loved them, and you realise they've been waiting for it all their life..

Will it all be too late?

空虚 的美梦

虫儿自缚后得到的解脱,不像从前,而是色彩斑斓的蝴蝶。。
蓝天白云,鸟语花香已不单是白日梦, 而成为句句属实。。

只有那无束缚的自由。
只有那天真无邪的笑颜。
只有那有如雨后春笋的感动。

这里,只有天堂
(因为 我们是厌倦世界的傻子)

然而,渐渐地,还是苏醒了。。
美梦与解脱,成了幻影;
若能当只有噩梦的蝴蝶,那会更好吗?

也许,
也许。。
也许,我们永远不会明白。

Finding Neverland

Sometimes walking along can be magical as well, you never know what you are going to encounter, just like in "Before Sunrise". I'm so glad we can bear our hearts to each other, to let each other into our innermost secrets, maybe that's really what sharing's all about. This song is for you..

时间的味道 - 林志炫
词: 易家扬

某年某月某一秒 整个世界忽然停了格 回到
第一副棒球手套 我的初恋女孩养的猫 杂货店里寻宝
总在期待 成人的色彩 爸爸的花领带
如今感概 童年的自在 再也回不来
回忆 是人生的第一张电影票 爱情 是心中的一些惊叹号
年龄 是真相的一把拆信刀 连时间也有 味道
走回以前的学校 小孩们在操场上奔跑 欢笑
找到弹珠和书包 可是回到童年的隧道 再也找不到

Recently, I commented to one of my colleague that she's very 天真, but surprisingly she became paranoid, thinking that that is a round-the-bush way of saying she's dumb..

Its rather sad that as we grow older, we gradually lose that magic of being young, where everything seems like its through a kaleidoscope.. Indeed, when was the last time we could simply laugh, cry and dance like noone's watching.. When was the last time we could hug one another like we're forever friends without inviting disapproving stares from people.. When was the last time we could tease, poke and make fun as if we're in our own neverland?

As Iggy once told me, it takes more courage for one to truly be oneself... And as Chiayi says it, Sometimes the most matured kind of happiness is the simplest and most child-like.. I say, growing up is simply a child getting wiser about life and what it has to offer, not a child gradually losing himself..

Never say Goodbye

Words unspoken, thoughts unexpressed. Yet if you get to see through my eyes, I know you will see my soul. I know, for it is so familiar to you, you will see the lonely self within me, withdrawn from this ugly world.. the smell of medicine, the sight of that abandoned old lady, so haggard and shrunken, pushing the rubbish truck, the sounds of cynical sneers, hollow laughter, and the unseen societal pressures. and then we will find solace and comfort.

Never Say Goodbye - Hayley Westenra

If I could take this moment forever
Turn the pages of my mind
To another place and time
We would never say goodbye

If I could find the words I would speak them
Then I wouldn't be tongue-tied
When I looked into your eyes
We would never say goodbye

If I could stop the moon ever rising
Day would not become the night
Wouldn't feel this cold inside
And we'd never say goodbye

I wish that our dreams were frozen
Then our hearts would not be broken
When we let each other go...

If I could steal this moment forever
Paint a picture-perfect smile
So our story stayed alive
We would never say goodbye


We for one know very well that ignorance is bliss, and yet we also know that even so we rather rather choose to be aware and strive to be enlightened (just like the matrix) because it is only then that we can truly treasure all the little things that makes living for that moment so much more worthwhile

Believe in Fatum

Jonathan: This is the ultimate blend to drink. How'd you find this place?
Sara: I first came in because of the name: Serendipity. It's one of my favorite words.
Jonathan: It is? Why?
Sara: It's such a nice sounding word for what it means: a fortunate accident.

Dean: Johnathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Johnathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. "Things were clearer for him," Kansky noted. Ultimately Johnathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we crrently refer to as destiny.

If I could turn back the clock..

Dedicated to a lady who is very special in her own ways, for her gentle, kiddish innocence intertwined with grace and elegance will always be a part of my memory..

相遇太早 - 苏永康
作词:深白色(Arys Chien) 

当我们再度相视微笑 成熟的心有一点苍老
许多的伤痛都已经忘掉 记忆里剩下的全是美好
你我都找到新的依靠 过去对错已不再重要
只是我们都清楚地知道 心里还有个划不完的句号
只怪你和我相爱得太早 对于幸福又了解的太少
于是自私让爱变成煎熬 付出了所有却让彼此想逃跑
上天让我们相遇得太早 对于缘分却又给得太少
才让我们只能陷在回忆中懊恼
