Life, oh life

"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle"
Morrie Schwartz

We're sometimes in the confusion of our age. What we are doing might not be what we wanted all the time. We might tend to ask many questions, over think about it that we're so obsessed with all the doubts.

We're standing in the middle, thinking which sides will win.
Morrie said, love wins. Love will always wins.
Hope that by thinking this way, it somehow will lift up your spirit, accept it and keep on fighting. :)

Sharing

You can't find the answers for the many things in life from the book. Things in life are complicated, I never realised about that before working life. Blogging has in fact turned out to be helpful, when you've got noone to speak to, or you just need a place, a space for you to express what is choked inside your lung or heart. Eventually, it turned out to be a place where I wanted to share things with all of you, and maybe my children next time, in case, I just couldn't remember to tell them everything. :)

So, here I am, wanted to share with you "Tuesdays with Morrie". It's this little book by Mitch Albom. Stated on the cover - An old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson. I believe that when you see this sentence, you might think, well, another philosopher type of book, then might just toss it away. Not sure whether sharing quote and information in this book is illegal, but em, the book is not made of very good quality paper, it might have been eaten by silverfish after a few years. So I would take the risk. :)

I'm looking forward to spend the time writing it down in the next blog. :)

Runaway..














无名的怒火 有说不出的无力想敲打我自己
麻木的神经 感觉自己像个机器快不能呼吸
火辣的太阳 永远在前方 无尽的公路 无尽的追求

像困在雾里 焦躁的想从茫然的现实中逃离
淡掉的感情 还坚持下去又有什么意义
风吹乱头发 黑暗星空下 无尽的公路 无尽的自由

我需要 run away run away 不想再怀疑自己对不对
甩开一切无所谓 就快去 run away run away
我可以 run away run away 不想再怀疑自己对不对
是为自己不为谁 不在乎的 run away

很多人再说 不断的一直说 必须这样子做 不能够那样做
却又没有办法在自己的生命中突破
如果再不走 就永远不会走 别让自己再回头 没挣扎怎能够有自由 快走

现在就 run away run away 不想再怀疑自己对不对
甩开一切无所谓 run away run away
快点去 run away run away 不想再怀疑自己对不对
是为自己不为谁 不在乎的 run away

=============================
像他说的潇洒,生命中应该很少吧?
有多少人不犹豫,多少人不害怕失去?

愿你我都有勇气面对一切。

Got myself a love song compilation CD :)

After work today, I went to One U, planning to look for John Mayer's new album. The sales person told me that it's not out yet. End up, I was listening to Stevie Wonder's album and found the song 'My Cherie Amour', which I've been looking around. Then I saw another album with this song, but it's with other love songs. Very seldom I would be getting myself a love song compilation cd :) But then at last, I bought it. :)

2 CDs with all the familiar love songs. Quite a nice compilation. Soothing love song, for you to play at home and then sing along while you're ironing your clothes or doing your laundry. :D

It's 8 August, 2008

080808. an auspicious date for us, Chinese, and also a date to be remembered by everyone who has lived through this day. Needless to say, it's the Olympics 2008 at Beijing, China.

I will always remember the opening ceremony as the astounding one, full with surprises and chinese culture, and beautifully prepared, especially the most anticipated part, how the torch was lit up, really cool..In whichever way, it really does show Chinese can do it. :) I was in Hainan watching the Olympics over the tv, and kept on "wow wow wow..". Can't imagine if I ever get the chance to watch Olympics opening ceremony live at the stadium. Maybe, the next Olympic, which will be held at London. :P

I'm glad that all of us are able to see this event. :)
Let's celebrate this moment, go go olympics!

Night like this

11 something and yet, don't feel like sleeping. I don't like sleeping too early, always thought that it's a waste of time...funny though..Always wait till I get tired or sleepy, then I will be willing to climb up the bed and Zzzz...

Tonight, don't have mood for nothing. Suddenly, "Everytime I Close My Eyes" comes into my mind. I think it surely is an all time favourite love song to many people. Babyface has got his own unique song and this song has got it's own calming effect. Always hoping for a good hi-fi system, playing all kinds of songs, in my favourite room. :)

How nice would it be if I can have my speaker now with me, then I would be able to fill this whole room with the song, clear voice, and sharp saxaphone. It would be so so nice.

How's your night? :)
