新年。红豆汤

年初四。妈妈煲了一大锅的红豆汤。
“喝多点。内有许多好料。红豆补血，莲子增添唾液，陈皮润喉，冰糖润肺，白果利尿。。。”
妈妈的糖水，不是糖和水，永远喝得最窝心。

Something to anticipate

Today is the day.

Every corner of the department is full of anticipation.

Though everyone has a calm expression, I believe they awaits for ‘The letters of joy’; just like I do.

This is one of the most anticipated moments for a white collar worker like me.

Life with anticipation makes one strong and determinant. That is why we are implant with all these words at different phrase of our life.
Ambition -> Dream -> Aim -> Objective -> Vision -> Goal

One fine day, an acquaintance asked me, “梦想是什么？怎么寻找自己的梦想？”
I sat still; it took me a second to answer her. Not because I do not know the answer. Rather, there was this emptiness in her iris that made me felt sorry for her, I don’t know why. Maybe, because she does not know what to anticipate from her life. But I believe all she needs is a little bit more exposure and time to determine her dream or goal. Maybe she does not realize she already has one, only has less prioritized it.

I believe, as long as we have something to cling on, we will be a survivor in life. Be it family, love, money or glory. It can be anything simple but important to you.

I believe everyone has one.

Life is beautiful, despite how much you possess. It’s how you appreciate from what you possess now.

Anticipate for better, but live now.

“生活有寄托，会使一个人坚强、积极、奋斗。反之，会很沮丧、无聊或颓废地活一辈子。”

Selfless or Selfish

Sometimes in life, we make selfish decision because we want to safe keep the best for ourselves. Is that a wrongful thought? Not really, I supposed. Yet why do we feel uneasy and struggle with the selfish thought occasionally?

Survivors live with face masked. ‘Never let others read you like an open book’, mom warned. She claimed that I am an open book. ‘Really?’

As I dive into the working community, I am gradually exposed to people. Many tend to hide their selfishness beneath charming smiles or smart looking appearance. I believe all behave like that for a valid reason – Security? Fear? Envy? Or maybe greed?

But how about being selflessness? It does feel good to share and it is indeed a blessing to be able to share. Yet, it is not easy to maintain selflessness at all means. To a certain extent, we need to talk ourselves out of it.

There are things which we can share with others, while some, we can be possessive. There are certain things which are meant for one individual’s possession.

Finding a balance between being selfless and being selfish is never easy. Being selfless… does anyone really care anyway?

要在自私和无私之间找个平衡点，谈何容易？

你的感情经得起考验吗？

How strong is your love?

My boyfriend gave me a call this evening, attempted to mutter out some unpleasant news.

Apparently, his company requests him to work in Singapore this coming month end and the period might last 3-4 months. He kept quiet after telling me the whole thing. I guess he was concerned about my feelings. The last time he left for Singapore in July 2006 for 6 months, I had been strong. As a matter of fact, I have been more independent then.

On second thought, was he feeling insecure about our relationship instead? There has been a couple of breakups among our acquaintance lately. These indicate that, even the slightest period of time can jeopardize a relationship, especially long distance relationship.

The fact is that the better you get to know each other, the more [fragile|solid] your relationship can be. Well, the truth is, we are all standing on the fence, it can be either way. Despite love for each other, a solid relationship includes your acceptance of his EVERYTHING including financial status, family background, social circle, habits and life philosophy etc.

Haven’t you heard of the common phrase ‘因了解而分手’?

I think tonight will be a tough night for him as he has decisions to make.

What about me? Well, I can’t predict tomorrow and I can’t make his life miserable as well. I only know that for time being, I have faith in our relationship. If we were not meant to be, holding on to each other wouldn’t do any good either.

听起来很潇洒吧？我是真的那么想。。。

So now, I need to consider about my Krabi trip in Feb ‘07 and Latin Silver classes… ’sigh’

Paradise exists

When life is beyond control, we hope to escape to a place call paradise.

Today I found out that there is really a place on earth call Paradise.
1. paradise (in Guyana , 57°57′W 5°34′N)
2. paradise (in New Zealand , 168°22′E 44°44′S)
3. paradise (in United States , 97°42′W 33°10′N)

If you have been there before, please tell me how is it like.

Tell me that it is non otherwise and it is just like every part on earth, where each of us has a major role to play in our life and obliged to responsibilities.

我选择相信她。。。

I believe in her…
我选择相信她。。。

近来，有一位朋友在她的生活上做出很大的改变。在短短两个月内，她选择离开拥有六年感情的男友，投向相识只有两个月的上司。

在别人眼中，她可能是突然改变，或是贪慕虚荣，。。。但她并不是完全这样的。这样的评价对她也是不公平的。这只有不认识她和不了解情况的人而言而矣。她也是这段感情的受害者。

其实他们的问题早已存在，只是他们都选择了各自的方式来逃避。两个人如要挞着，只要一点火花、心动就行了。但要维持一段细水长流的爱情，那一点火花又能维持多久呢？他们本来就是不同思维的人，要一起牵手走下去，需要多一份的包容和迁就。

单纯、乐观的她，对一切都满怀希望。虽然她深知两人之间的问题，她依然深信他们是可以一起克服那些种种难题，一起往幸福迈向。但随着长期的相处和了 解，和单方面的努力、付出，她开始觉得疲惫并且质疑这段感觉。感情是需俩人来酝酿的。要是只有一方付出，付出的那位也太孤独寂寞了。。。

男人和我们不同。都是female的我们，应该了解所想望的幸福是什么。

其实她也并非没错。她唯一的错误就是逃避了6年才醒悟，让无心伤害变成终身遗憾。

一段感情的结束，在某些层度上，俩人都是受害者。旁观者的我们就给他们一些呼吸的空间吧！时间将会是最好的心灵治疗。

福如東海，壽比南山．

親愛的媽媽，期盼的日子已來臨．我真的很開心．

希望媽媽所擔心的，會隨著大壽來臨而消失．

祝您身體健康，身心愉快．

我會永遠守候著您．

专 心 致 志

有 时 我 们 必 须 聚 精 会 神, 通 宵 达 旦, 只 为 了 完 成 一 件 看 起 来 那 么 地 微 不 足 道 的 事.

工 作 也 许 是 瞒 漫 长 而 单 调 的; 然 而, 当 它 终 于 完 成 时, 心 中 涌 现 的 喜 悦 与 满 足 似 乎 又 让 我 们 觉 得, 这 一 切 都 是 值 得 的.

要 心 无 旁 焉, 也 许 并 不 容 易; 要 不 问 收 获, 也 相 当 困 难.

如 果 把 过 程 看 成 是 对 毅 力 与 耐 力 的 磨 炼, 漫 长 与 单 调, 原 来 也 可 以 是 生 活 的 一 种 内 容.

原 来 经 付 出 后 所 得 的 成 果 可 让 一 个 人 那 么 的 满 足…

丝 毫 的 感 动

许 多 时 候 我 们 都 盼 望 人 生 有 一 次 又 一 次 的 大 感 动. 然 而 真 正 的 感 动 却 多 半 是 我 们 常 忽 略 的 小 感 动.

这 次 典 型 巨 蟹 座 被 一 盒 风 靡 全 城 的J. Co. 牛 车 轮 和Starbucks Caramel Frappucino 给 打 动 了. 前 者 象 征 着 鼓 励, 后 者 表 示 在 乎.

原 来 丝 毫 的 感 动 已 足 以 让 人 觉 得 很 窝 心.

不 能 说 的 . 秘 密

Every screen is so mesmerizing. 一 个 简 单 的 爱 情 故 事, 加 上 淘 气 的 动 作, 音 乐 的 熏 陶 和 风 景 的 修 饰, 变 得 再 也 不 简 单 了.

一 段 爱 情, 如 有 一 点 私 隐, 是 期 待.

一 段 爱 情, 如 有 一 点 遗 憾, 是 潼 憬.

这 部 电 影 是 奉 献 给 所 有 相 信 爱 情 的 人.

世 界 因 爱 而 存 在.

这 也 是 一 部 能 让 人 对 周 杰 伦 另 眼 相 看 的 电 影.

More than a dog

If you really want a dog pal, go to RSPCA. They are there, waiting patiently behind those cold bars for people who have abandoned them to reclaim them.

She is a friend, not a toy. She has feelings, she smiles and she whips.

If you have decided to love her, love her thoroughly, not merely during her puppy-hood.

Last but not least, if you love her, don’t abandon her.

To my dedicated pal,

Who is always there for me, accompanying me through my ups and downs.
I am glad that you have entered my life. And I am sure that you feel the same way for me, since the day I adopted you from RSPCA.

More than an owner,
Me

你我他, 都享有个美丽的遗憾。。。

“有 一 些 人 就 是 会 埋 藏 在 心 里 头, 偶 尔 拿 出 来 怀 念 的… 最 近 发 觉 自 己 养 成 了 一 个 酱 的 习 惯– 时 常 对 着 天 空 祈 祷, 希 望 我 想 念 和 藏 在 心 里 的 人 活 得 比 我 好, 过 得 比 我 健 康 和 快 乐. 如 果 将 来 有 那 么 一 天, 当 我 们 在 街 道 上 偶 然 相 遇, 我 们 依 然 可 以 望 着 对 方 发 出 惠 心 的 一 笑”

这 是 一 个 朋 友 回 我 的 短 讯. 我 们 都 是 感 性 的 人. 我 也 能 了 解 她 的 意 思. 谢 谢 您.

加 油 吧, 朋 友! 爱 情 是 给 相 信 爱 情 存 在 的 人.
