再見二丁目

詞:林夕

滿街腳步 突然靜了
滿天柏樹 突然沒有動搖
這一剎 我只需要 一罐熱茶吧
那味道 似是什麼 都不緊要
唱片店內 傳來異國民謠
那種快樂 突然被我需要
不親切 至少不似 想你般奧妙
情和調 隨著懷緬 變得蕭條

原來過得很快樂
只我一人未發覺
如能忘掉渴望
歲月長 衣裳薄
無論於什麼角落
不假設你或會在旁
我也可暢遊異國 放心吃喝

轉街過巷 就如滑過浪潮
聽天說地 仍然剩我心跳
關於你 冥想不了 可免都免掉
情和慾 留待下個化身燃燒

原來我非不快樂
只我一人未發覺
如能忘掉渴望
歲月長 衣裳薄
無論於什麼角落
不假設你或會在旁
我也可暢遊異國 放心吃喝
我也可暢遊異國 再找寄托

Salmon-pink tinted clouds... out at sea. 

A sunset I took aboard the Cheng Ho 3, where I work.  

Bloggal resurrection

Haven't updated my blog for a while, sorry to my dear friends who have been wanting to read my thoughts！I have changed so much over the past few months that I even I am shocked at my rate of change. Anyway, here's some loose writings I've gathered, starting from July to now. I frequently write on pieces of paper and forget to transfer them, so here's the stuff I excavated. Enjoy.

A new me?

24 September location unknown

Well, it's about time I updated this blog. I guess the reasons for not having been diligently updating were 1)busy 2)lazy 3)I honestly have nothing to talk about. Ok the 3rd one is not true. To rephrase that, I mean I haven't felt the need to air any grievances, though I might have some happy news to share.

Well, I have been as busy as ever, with school work and part time gigs, but essentially, I am now a different person. How so?
I have quit smoking. I have started practicing Buddhism. Most significantly, I have met an extraordinary guy. Is he the one? I don't know. Nothing in this world is certain. But I am smiling as I type this.

Did my bad habits go because of him? Not really. My life has suddenly taken an abrupt turn. And all these things happened at exactly the same period. It's amazing, this thing we call fate. I couldn't have been happier. The freedom I feel from quitting. The joy and peace in my heart. My renewed compassion for all beings. And most amazingly, the improved state of relations in my family. I dare say it was a miracle.

Life itself is nothing short of a miracle. Every breath we take, every meal we have, every step we walk. It's good to be alive.

(Writer's note: I haven't actually met the guy face to face, though this will happen real soon.)

Fragment dated 23rd September

Today I took taxi to school again. Horrendous! I cannot afford to do this again. It is a huge waste of money and I absolutely cannot continue this. But what can I do?
I am constantly not waking in time.
This has got to stop. Stop!!
How?? I have to stop this. Either, I set more alarms and force myself to wake up somehow. Or,
ask Dad to fetch me? I should have anticipated it last night...well.

Anyway, I'm glad I got rid of the English assignment.

八月三十一日 2105hrs 回家地铁上

今天看了网上的新闻报道，好担心。 台风泰利的威力居然比上次的海棠更大，而且几乎和摧残了美国的那个差不远。我现在还在回家途中，不知道大哥到底怎样了。希望他住的房子承受得起这次的狂风暴雨。 一切还是得到家后才会有分晓。希望没事。

我越是回想最近发生的事情，越是有体会。 人生本来就是一个奇迹，在茫茫人海中能够遇上和自己心灵有感应的人，更是可贵。是朋友也好，恋人也好，或是生命中的过客，都是那么可贵。人生是宝贵的，每一顿饭，每一个呼吸，都得来不易。活着真好，活着真好！ 想起以前自暴自弃，甚至考虑过自杀的我，真是羞愧无比。

好想你，好想见见你，好想拥抱着你。恨不得长一双翅膀，马上飞到你那儿，和你一起度过这场灾难。保护你，为你挡风遮雨。告诉你别怕，我就在这儿。

就快到家了， 我会飞奔回去，和你联系。

いま、会いにゆきます。
