Something's missing...
John Mayer’s lyrics never fail to put into words what my heart wants to express…
“Something’s missing, And I don’t know how to fix it, something’s missing And I don’t know what it is at all…”
In a way, it has a healing effect on me when i just repeat it over and over.
In the past years, I searched high and low for an answer. For the answer...
This a story about a person learning archery:
“For a long time, I could not draw the bow correctly, until, one day, my teacher showed me a breathing exercise, and it suddenly became easy. I asked why he had taken such a long time to correct me. He replied, ‘If I had shown you the breathing exercise from the start, you would have thought them unnecessary. Now you will believe what I...
Airport is a place i see most number of happy faces. It’s special.
Changi used to be warm and welcoming, now I feel almost envious seeing the happy people hugging.
Waiting for a HK flight to touch down, the familiar Cantonese, sometimes American accent, all make me feel so nostalgic. Even seeing the word Heathrow touches my heart somewhere.
I know I am just suppressing lots of emotions...
Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.
It’s like you’re always stuck in second gear When it hasn’t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year…

The familiar accent, the adrenaline rush, the British humour… what could be better than Top Gear to ease me through this period of nostalgia and restlessness towards future?
:)
Who would have thought?
hahaa I think I am a BBC Knowledge now not a Star World anymore :P
To everything there is a season
A week ago, I would have still said that the past 6 years have contained some of the worst moments in my life… and now I suddenly realised, those years were possibly the best
Isn’t it great, that only the happy things remained in the memory :)
Looking back, I realise the right question to ask in life is not “What have I accomplished?”, but “Have I done my...
No hugs, no tears, it’s just a plain “good bye” and a heart-felt “take care”…
for what it's worth it was worth all the while...
So make the best of this test, and don’t ask why It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time

If -- Rudyard Kipling
IF you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream -...
世上确实有很多事情无论你怎么努力也改变不了，正因为如此，在必须努力的时候犹豫是不行的。
This is an interesting idea i read from a blog:
Sometimes, making the right choice is more important than being hardworking.
I guess what it means is that, a lot of times in life, it’s not that hard work is not important, but making the right choices will save u from a lot of unnecessary work.
The author used the example of his marriage, he said it has been an easy marriage, because from...
原来。。。
“床前明月光”的床， 是一把椅子，用来坐的。
This is what i am thinking right before the (possibly) last exam in my life: I am going to miss four seasons the most when I go back to my tropical country.
Then I realise, I am making the mistake of wanting “everything” in life again. I want my freedom, but I also want familial warmth. I love meeting new friends, but I miss my old friends. I want four seasons, but I do like the...
“Memories are dreams of the past.”
Liminality
(derived from the Latin word: limen, meaning doorway or threshold)
= a phase when the old isn’t working but the new has not yet come to replace it.
Grieve, accept, let go, move on.
Choose life, Choose a job....
“Choose a family, Choose a fucking big television Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments…”
We can’t live life twice, therefore life becomes heavy. Every choice carries weight, because it is in choices that our lives are formed.

看了你写的旅行，我今天又回想了一下过去。发现再不开心，每次的旅行都还是有一些难忘存在脑里。是不是当每个城市和她不同的难忘联系在了一起，就是只属于我的回忆，就是我旅行的意义？
I see baby seagulls waddling around on the rooftop across my window again! and realised how fast a year has passed.
May is a weird month, because u can often see dead animals around as well… and i still remember the may day when I saw a dead man lying in a garden.
He looked almost peaceful, lying amidst the blooming flowers. Death and summer just do not go well with each other…
But...
Kinda like this story I saw....
“
“Sometimes we get used to what we see in the movies, and end up forgetting the true story,” a friend said to me once while we were looking at the port of Miami, “Do you remember the Ten Commandments?”
Of course I remembered. Moses, played by Charlton Heston, at one point he raises his wand and with that action the waters were divided and the Jewish people walked through it.
“In the...
I felt as if I have lied to you, saying there can be miracles in life.
I don’t believe in miracles.
You may think I sound cynical, but I belive more in hardwork. You reap what you sow. if you didn’t reap what you sow, then u probably sow the wrong thing without knowing :P…
I think I learnt that the hardway. Cynicism comes from disappointments in life, from wishing and hoping...
why do people need to go to casino?
life itself is a BIG BIG gamble!
… hate question spotting :(
This overly-photoshopped picture leads me to conclude that….
Perfection is not beauty.
For each day to have a new and different sun...
Some of the stories that never failed to inspire me, are the stories of people traveling in search of themselves.
The stories would usually begin with numerous, continuous setback of the protagonist, the greatest bottleneck in life. Pushed to the edge, they look for some ways to breakthrough by going on a trip with no planned routes nor destination.
Whether they have met any one on the trip,...
“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees-just as things grow fast in movies-I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.”
Last night I had a dream, i dreamt i was a little girl, and homeless. She is so scared, but she (me) spoke to me (myself), telling me how lucky I am. “She” asked me how can I not treasure my life when I have so much.
Phei made a comment when I was describing the beauty of my hometown to her, she said “you are so lucky to have grown up there.”
I feel as if I have been...
