襌是一朵花。

你問我到那裡去了，我會說我到天堂遊了一趟，

這樣聽上去大概誇張得來也很張狂，

但那個地方讓我的心神都那樣嚮往。

到步的第一天，已經覺得一切也很值得，

恩愛到一個地步，我每天都覺得日子充實得來很不真實。

有沒有一次，終於可以留在對方身邊

相見不用排期，相處沒有限期？

不過我相信我可以一直為他守望到老。

人就只有這麼一個了，沒有他也不會再有別個，

但求上天保祐，信者得救。

i am back again.

everytime i am here i feel like i have never left.
everything about us is so familiar to me.

i love us extraordinarily much, and sincerely.

hair

i never knew it was so important until i realised that it's ruined
and i cannot fix it. :(

i am so depressed. it has been a whole day already. i can't believe what is happening, i am finally going to see him, yet no part of me is perfect.

my hair used to be almost perfect, it was all silky and shiny a few days ago, and its length was good, but now it is not attractive at all.

i hate myself for always making bad decisions. now i am upset, and i don't even want to see him.

i just hope friday doesn't come too soon.

期待

夢寐以求的事情快要發生了。

我興奮得不敢作聲，

安靜到好像很冷靜。

守望已久的 ─ 我愛的人，我熱愛的工作。

半年

我差不多又要開始為見面而緊張，
未開始已經為預期得到的分別而失落，
有多少的會面就有多少的離別啊！
與幸福相連的少少難過
也是抵受的。

身邊有人的人應該要好好珍惜。
如果一年只能見幾次面，
你還會堅持嗎？
你會想要一個不能親熱的戀人嗎？
他朝老了，
如果有病，就算無法活得很久 ─
你也會愛下去嗎？

還是只愛健康無事的人？
還是只想身邊有個人？

人的堅持是否只為了一個可能延續的可能？
如果沒法延續，你會不會讓它發生？

我和他的日子，總是有數得計
又計無可計的
路那麼長，聚少離多
但思念停不了。

快要見面了，我真想為他再漂亮一點，
當一個可愛的女子。:)

愈是難得，愈是難得。

getting pretty

one bad thing about having a long distance relationship is that you become very lazy on your appearance because your boyfriend is not around to see you. as a result, i have lived the past 6 months in a very low maintenance kind of way, working all day everyday to save up money and holidays, i sometimes go to bed without washing my face even. the lack of sunshine in the office, which means the lack of vitamin D3, can also cause bad, unhealthy skin. after having spent most of the days indoors, and being outdoors only at night, my skin has become simply awful.

here comes the panic, suddenly you are about to see your boyfriend, and you realise what you have/have not done to yourself. you are not going to spend your precious time with him looking like a zombie, are you?

it is important to find a boyfriend who thinks you are pretty anyway, but sometimes fact is fact, i just want to be as pretty as i once was, with those bright eyes, and that big smile.

ummm, let's see if i can make some progress in 12 days. :)

there is nothing you can't learn

as long as you put your heart into it. the only things that you can't do should be the things that you don't want to do. if you are willing to pick up the paintbrush, you can at least paint something. if you ever feel like you need the finest equipment to begin your learning with, think twice, we are living in a world in which knowledge is almost free now, which is already a blessing, and we are all equiped with the ability to self-learn, which is almost enough. (in other words, if you want to do something, don't give yourself the excuse saying that you have to wait until you are rich, because that no longer makes as much sense as it used to, but of course there are cases like that still.)

i have a little sister who inspires and amazes me just constantly.

i remember it always when one summer morning i woke up to some music from another room, and realised that it was indeed my little sister playing the guitar she had worked many hours in a resturant saving up for, and all of a sudden she had learnt to play it, just by watching youtube tutorials.

it amazes me how she has made cartoon videos by drawing a hundred and more pictures of all slight movements each character has by hand, and put them together by taking photos of each of them and editing the photos into a moving clip, giving them voices and sounds, and finally all her pictures have come alive in the form of an animation.

i think her will is almost as tough as walt disney, the amazing fact is that she doesn't even have much to begin with, it has all simply started out in her head.

having seen what she has done so far, i dare not to tell anyone that they can't do things, because she has shown me that whatever one can or cannot do really depends on how much efforts one is willing to make.

what i am trying to say is: always remember that it is important not to let someone tell you that you can't do things, when the things you want to do are good, and when they mean something to you, don't let yourself be discouraged. remember that you don't always have to be the best at whatever you do, it is not a competition if you don't make it so, and as long as you enjoy what you do, and do what you enjoy, you will miss out a lot less and live a life a lot more enriched, which is the most important. do not be embarassed and waste time on thinking how the world may laugh at you, if you find my words honest, trust me when i say that it makes you an adorable being having the will to try and being passionate for things that you believe in.

what a clumsy piece of writing i have written, but i hope it brings at least a bit encouragement to those who are looking for confidence. :)
