    Enchanted

    Watched Enchanted on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year.  The movie's so funny! The song that play at the waltz scene's great and bittersweet! How many would love to have a waltz dance with their true love? How many would love to experience the fairy tale?
     
    So Close - Jon McLaughlin
     
    You're in my arms
    And all the world is calm
    The music playing on for only two
    So close together
    And when I’m with you
    So close to feeling alive

    A life goes by
    Romantic dreams will stop
    So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
    So close was waiting, waiting here with you
    And now forever I know
    All that I wanted to hold you
    So close

    So close to reaching that famous happy end
    Almost believing this was not pretend
    And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
    So far we are so close

    How could I face the faceless days
    If I should lose you now?
    We're so close
    To reaching that famous happy end
    And almost believing this was not pretend
    Let's go on dreaming for we know we are
    So close
    So close
    And still so far

    So close yet so far

    This term "so close yet so far" seems very abstract until you really have experienced it! I have profoundly feel it recently. when you stand next to somebody, you just don't know what to talk about. The conversation between are all those trivial things. You can feel he built high walls around and his heart is blocked. You have no idea what he's thinking and how he feels! You only feel that he's so far away from you and that's a bloody bad feeling! It really makes you feel blue and depress but nothing can be done.

    摁住門鈴不鬆手

    男人和女人又吵了一架,那時他們正商量結婚。男人摔門出來,女人扔出一句話:是個男人就別再敲這扇門!

    一個白天,在心煩意亂中過去。最終,男人還是踟躕地走到門邊,摁響了門鈴。可是門沒有開,男人知道女人就在屋裡。男人摁了第二次,門依舊緊閉。男人第三次摁響了門鈴。在摁門的同時,男人感到憤怒且委屈,本來男人主動回來就是已是原諒了她,可是卻得不到她的回應。男人羞憤交加,於是決定,這第三次如果門還是不開,他將永遠離開這扇門。第三次,門依然沒開,男人傷心地離去。


    多年以後的相見,他們已各自結婚。看淡了世事,可是,舊情還沒有在心裡變成死灰。想起當年的光景,彼此都有疑惑。男人問:我摁了三次門鈴,你為什麼就是不開門?女人說,聽到第一次門鈴,她還在生氣;聽到第二次門鈴,她心軟了,準備原諒他;聽到第三次門鈴,她從沙發起身走到門邊,等待著第四次門鈴。她想,他如果第四聲摁響門鈴,她將徹底原諒他。可是,已沒有了第四次,女人站在門邊,等待了一夜,淚也流了一夜。

    如果有第四次....可是生活已不容假設。第四次的門鈴,在當時的男人看來,是多餘的一次,在女人看來,又是必不可少的一次。

    愛情中的一次小小過失,就有可能瓦解婚姻。
    若想把愛情演變成婚姻,就得摁住門鈴不鬆手。

     感情是自私的,有時隨便的一句話會讓對方的心留下永遠的芥蒂所以別隨便開類似故事裡的玩笑否則雙方都拉不下臉。 

     
    are you the man in the story?
    am I the woman in the story?

    當我們的愛只剩一百步

    I've read a very touching article today and wanna share it with my friends:
     
     
    我和你背對背開始往前走,我們說好當走到第一百步的時候,再回頭,如果還能看到對方,我們就忘掉以前所有的不快樂,重新開始。如果看不到彼此,就一直走下去,永遠不要回頭。當我走出第一步時,有一種叫悲哀的東西漫過心底。我們的愛情路只剩下九十九步,我們怎麼走到了今天這一步? 曾幾何時,我們一起在雨中漫步,衣服濕了也不覺得冷。曾幾何時,我們在雪天裏呼著熱氣吃冰淇淋,當人們投來驚異的目光中,我們竟哈哈大笑。
    我已走過二十步,你呢? 我好想回頭看看你,看看你是不是一樣和我步履維艱。你還記得嗎? 你教我學電腦的時候說過,編程時會遇上一種情況叫死迴圈,進去了就出不來,你說你對我的愛就是死迴圈,當時我很感動。我走完五十步時,有個賣烤番薯的老先生,問我要不要買烤番薯,我搖了搖頭,他就推著車子走了。為何他不再多和我講幾句話? 那樣我便可以停留一會兒,不要再走下去。 我走了八十步,在我身後的你是否也在想我們前段不愉快的日子? 我們為一點點小事天天爭吵,不知為什麼,我總是對著你哭,你便心亂如麻,煩躁不安。然後,我們都無端地說出一些互相傷害的話。終於有一天你對我說:“我們不能再這樣下去了,不然都會被折磨死,分開吧!”
    九十九步了。 我艱難地抬起沉重的腳,遲遲不願放下,我怕放下腳時,回頭再也看不見你;我怕放下腳時,回頭將永遠失去你;我怕放下腳時,我從此再沒有幸福可言;我……腳終於落下了,淚也順頰而下,我不想回頭,也不願回頭,我控制不住自己,蹲下身痛哭起來。突然,一雙寬大的手抱住了我的雙肩,我回過頭看到了你,看到了你滿了深深自責和濃濃愛意的雙眼。 我撲進你的懷裏,哭著說:“我不要再往下走了。
    你把我緊緊抱住,輕輕撫摸著我的長髮說,永遠不會再讓你一個人走。其實,我一走在你的身後,一直在等你回頭。
     
    It hurts to love someone.  A sad thing about life is when you meet someone that means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was never bound to be and you just have to let go. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back, don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their hearts. Never say goodbye when you still want to try, never give up when you still feel you can take it, never say you don't love that person anymore when you can't let go. Love comes to those who still hope, even though they've been disappointed, to those who still believe, even though they've been betrayed; need to love those who still love, even though they've been hurt before. It takes a minute to have a crush someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. There are moments in life when you really miss someone that you want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched and those who have tried. Love starts with a smile, develops with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling, live your life so that when you die, you're smiling and everyone around you is crying......

    balance of the universe

    everything within this universe has two sides, just like the two sides of a coin.  we have light and we'll have darkness; we have good things and we'll have bad things; we have happiness and sure we'll have sadness; there's love and there's hatred! how much joy you gain from one person, you can have equal amount of sorrow from the same person.  it seems that the most secure thing to find out the balance point. but, where's the equilibrium? even if you found out that, the question is: will you be perfectly happy to stay at that point forever?

    None

    I had found an outdated SD card by Nikon which is 8MB (then you'll notice how "old" it is!) the other day.  As it is so old, i cant find any card reader that is capable to transmit the photos out from the card. When i feel that's a shame and nothing i can do, i realize that the  3 in 1 fax machine at home actually have a slot that can read the card! Hahaha......i finally have all the photos back! what a luck!

    生查子

    關山夢魂長, 魚雁音塵少,
    兩鬢可憐青, 只為相思老。
    歸夢碧紗窗, 說與人人道,
    真個別離難, 不似相逢好。

    know it or not?

    i had a drink with a friend i haven't seen for 2 years last night. he claimed that he is not a good guy and i do agreed with that but sure he is a funny guy. i guess he's can also be a good friend though i didn't know him very well. on the way he drove me home, i ask him if he's gonna re-open his "consultation letter box", he said i don't need it as i know what i want! haaa.....am i? is it becoz he didn't know me well, or just compare with my friend or maybe deep inside i did know? i do think my friend actually know what she wants but just a matter of choice.

    生活

    人大了, 顧慮自然多了。我是一個經常有少少衝動的人, 有時會有點意氣用事; 以前心口真係會掛個「勇」字, 可以因為份工悶, 冇prospect, 話唔做就唔做, 寧願搵份做到死又人工低的; 可以因為愛一個人而義無反顧, 千里迢迢, 唔理其他人怎想, 只想和他一起; 所有的事只從心出發, 想做就做。人大了, 只專注生活, 做事多了「三思而後行」, 反而變得猶豫, 漸漸忘記了這種由心的感覺, 缺少了以住那份勇氣, 開始怕麻煩, 怕面對改變, 怕要努力的轉工, 怕要用力的愛人。當以為生活就是這樣, 平平淡淡, 踏踏實實的時候, 總又覺得生命好像欠缺了什麼似的, 未能完整! 也許, 是時侯重新調較自己的生活, 重新拿出勇氣, to see if i can make my life complete and with no regrets!

    a drink

    there are two things that i haven't been doing for a long time and i did it in once this weekend! actually i haven't play badminton and go out for a drink with friends for a long time. this saturday, i did both! i first went back home for a shower and get change after badminton, then go out for a drink with friends! i'm so tired today but i did have a good time and met a few new friends last night. i found i did quite enjoying myself. so i guess i'll do it more often!

    break

    bb's health's not really good recently, i guess she has too much pressure, mainly for work and study. she really needs a break and relax. we have been talking the other day that we should move to somewherelse (uk's a good idea as some of her familt's there) together!  at the time being, maybe it's a good idea to plan for a trip like last time to prague. we did have a very good time but we missed the snow. so maybe this time, we'll have luck. Vienna is a good choice. that means i have to save $$$ very very hard this year lar!

    Body check (part 1)

    i am the kind of person who don't like (well, scare i think) to visit doctor, dentist etc.  but i do agree that a body check once a year is needed. dont know whether it is for fortunate or not, due to some health reason, the most difficult part of the body check will leave til maybe next week. so, i guess today won't be too hard at all. but don't know why my hands' shaking, not due to fear, just a bit dizzy and sharking. maybe lack of glucose? let's get something sweet now!

    Rainy day

    personally i don't like rainy day, i guess i hate it.  it can always gives you a bad mood! however, i do admire drizzle at spring time. it gives a blue but romantic feelings and reminds me the days at England.  i don't have much good and intense memory for rainy day.  except that i remember once, which happened ages ago at London.  I did have some childlike behavior: i treasure that little umbrella which bring back the good memory for quite a long time!

    Tributes

    When I am sharing the tributes with Adrian's friends and family, i have a sudden thought.  If one day i left this world, what will my friends going to share with others about my life in their tributes? I can think of nothing! I didn't have much achievement or did something that i can proud of myself! I am afraid that my friends and family will become speechless or very difficult to find something good of me to say in their tributes!
    I have contradiction thoughts after the funeral. As life is so fragile and short, full of uncertainties and out of our control, i should be tresure and satisfied what i have now and learn to know and find out the good things of the people around me? Or i should do whatever makes me happy and seems worth it?
     
     

    Funeral of Adrian

    I have attended my good friend's funeral last night at St. Andrew's church. He's smart, intelligence and young! He's one of a few good quality man I ever met. Sometimes when you meet someone, you will have the feeling that he will become an extraordinary man though you don't know what he can up to. This is the feeling he gave me when I first know him. When his friends and family giving the tributes, i knew that he really become one! It's so sad that such a kind, outstanding person need to leave us. His wife also gave a tribute, she shared with us all the bits and pieces of their life. They share so many common interest and give me such a warm and sweet feeling. When she reaffirm their marriage vow "from this day forward, for better, for worse, for rich, for poorer, for sickness and in health, until death do us part", tears welled up my eyes! They really did it! they keep the promise for each other!
     
    Adrian, you have fought your battle and finished your race, may you rest in peace, and see you later!
     
     
     

    In the memory of a good friend Adrian

    Merciful Father,
    hear our prayers and comfort us;
    renew our trust in your Son,
    whom you raised from the dead;
    strengthen our faith
    that Adrian who have died in the love of Christ
    will share in his resurrection;
    who lives and reigns with you,
    now and for ever.
