大日子

看到很多朋友的facebook status开始有很多冬至的祝福留言,还有朋友watsapp的短讯,我发现又快一年了。大概傍晚的时候,我expect的电话来了。

“Arloo, ah 媚啊?”
“Hello? Ah poh 啊?”
“Harllo?? ”
“婆,我听到。我是ah 媚啊”
“ah 媚啊,你听到没有?”
“我听到,我听到。你吃饱liao mah?”
“我还没有啦,很早啦。他们都还没有冲完凉。”
“oh,你打给我做mo?”
“哈哈,没有啦。大日子嘛,你知道没有?哈哈”
“我知道,冬至嘛对不对。”
“是lo是lo,做mo你又懂的?哈哈”
“我当然懂啦。”
“大日子咯,婆婆想到你咯。哈哈。有没有出去吃好料?”

我中午毕业后一直在外生活,但是每到中秋、冬至这些大日子老佛爷都会打个电话给在外的孙子孙女,从不间断。我很庆幸,老佛爷还有力气给我打个电话。

好催泪的电话。简单又窝心。

对我来说,大日子的意义应该是这样吧。

我以为我已经痊愈
但原来我只是一直在逃避

逃避
其实也不过是用另一种方式在伤害自己

我又回到阴暗处
自舔伤口
自我怜惜
一点都不酷

我讨厌不酷的自己
我至少要做到
如何让不酷的我,不哭

In time


In this movie, when you die, people will not say that ‘she is dead’. They will say ‘she is timed out.’

好奇妙的一个说法。所谓死亡,就是你拥有的时间用完了。就是那么简单。

In this movie, everyone carries a life clock. This life clock tells how much time you left, before you are timed out. It keeps counting down, every second. You can earn, steal, borrow or even gamble to win more time for yourself. Just like money.

有点像真实的世界不是吗。我们都知道,我们拥有的时间一直都在倒数着。但是最不同的是,我们的life clock是看不到的。你不会知道家里的父母亲还剩下多少时间,你还有多少时间去孝顺。你不会知道你恨的人还有多久会消失在你眼前。你不会知道你爱的人还能陪在你身边多久。你不会知道自己还有多少时间去和你care的人相处,或者想想那个你恨的人值不值得你用剩余的时间去恨他。

如果你只剩下一天的时间,你会珍惜那一天,还是会用那一天的时间去争取更多的时间?

Time flies. People starts wearing those Halloween costume, November is coming.
It's close to a year.


Am I getting better? I don't know.

But I know I am getting stronger.
3 stars for myself!

~May, 2011~
Milpitas, San Jose

Trying hard to score 3-stars
For angry birds and for myself
Thanks to my sifu
Who help me to get through all those obstacles


I don't like to be misunderstood.
I hate when I can't find the right word to explain myself.
I hate when I have tried my best but still, you do not know what I mean.

I also hate when I caused inconvenience to you unintentionally, put you in a bad bad situation. And yet, I do not know how to help. I am sorry.

不值得

好想离家出走
我躲在箱子里太久了
Let me get out here

我应该早一点醒觉,这一切其实都不值得

:(

To make sure that I am doing the right thing, I typed "How can I get rid of sadness" in Google. And then I got this page.


"We all have bad days, but don't let them ruin how you feel about yourself and others. Bad is what we assume that something bad is going to be the result, but, believe,whatever bad happened to us will be healed by Time."

Seems like it is a well-known facts that time can cure. Alright, I will continue to let time pass like how it should.

如果时间能治疗所有事情
时间,你能不要能跳快一点

I browsed through the youtube that day, when I was really bored. I found a video recorded from ‘China got talent’. There was a 12 years old Mongolian boy sings in the competition. I wasn’t quite impressed by his voice because I can't really understand the lyrics. But I was stunned, when he told the judges about his dream:




我要发明一种墨水,把那墨水在地上一点,全世界就会变成绿草


I want to invent a kind of ink that just need a drop to drop on the ground, the whole world will cover with green grass


He lost his parents when he was 8. And still, he came out with this statement when talk about his dream in life. At that moment, I feel embarrassing for being an adult. I have tons of complaints about my job and my life, and I don't contribute enough to help the community. I know I should appreciate for being myself, as I am in a better position compare to those unfortunates at the other side of the world.

活该

一个月又一个月的过
时间并没有让我淡忘什么
我的呼吸反而变得越来越沉重

我该如何走出这个阴影

严重的是
都已经走到了这个地步了
我还不觉的后悔

这时候
除了“活该”
我也不知道该对自己说些什么

我该如何走出这个阴影
我该如何走出这个阴影
我该如何走出这个阴影
我该如何走出这个阴影
我该如何走出这个阴影
我该如何走出这个阴影

怎么办

救命

长相的厮守
还是 短暂的温柔?

前者 先苦后甜
后者 先甜后苦

都是一样的

以前我们在red box最爱点的一首歌 -- 死性不改
那时侯还真是百唱不厌啊,呵呵

以前大学时,又爱玩又爱美
现在还是一样,还真是死性不改

快要是我们相识十周年了
人生有多少个友谊可以让我们挥霍十年的呢

死性不改的我们,一定要过得很好哦

p/s: Please forgive my skill again and the blue color stool. I was feeling tired to stand :p

What hurt the most

It's not the goodbye that hurts
But the flashbacks that follow

There are more than two close friends tell me recently, that I always over-stress myself and try to absorb everything, even though that is beyond my capability and bandwidth.

I agree. I think I am. Hoping myself as a super girl since I was young.

My teacher nominated me as the class monitor during my standard-1 in primary school, because I was in the 1st place during the kindergarten final exam. She explained to me the role of a class monitor and I consulted a few adults at that time (including dad, mom, grandma and my piano teacher) to understand what a class monitor should do. Based on my survey, seems like a class monitor has great responsibility and I need make sure my friends behave really well as a good student! So, I was in big stress at that time. Dad and mom noticed this when I cried in the school because my friend (forgot her name already) refuse to do and submit her homework. After that, they came to school and asked teacher to demote me, because they wanted to save me out of the stressful role.

During my brother’s first day in primary school, I was in standard-2 and so worry that he might not know how to buy himself a plate of wantan mee in the canteen. To me, it was really difficult and confusing during my first day in primary school. The auntie will yell at you and if that was me, I will feel panic and keep telling myself that ‘no yin mei, you shouldn’t cry in front of your friends’. I was not sure if brother can handle this kind of pressure or not. And the canteen floor is really slippery; you can easily fall down and make your uniform dirty. That will cause another round of pressure when you get back home and questioned by grandma. I was so stress and worry about him.

When I was in secondary school, I worry about my exams. Dad and mom told me that I am the smartest among the children in my family and I can study very well. That means I need to score more As la right? I think so. No choice lo, have to be more hardworking. PMR and SPM are nightmares. I had migraine frequently during the secondary school time.

Since the day I had my first ABRSM exam for grade one piano exam, my piano teacher told me that I have talent in music. And I can play the music very well (she said). That means I have to score better in the next exam la right? I think so. So I need to be more hardworking in piano practice, but I hate it! I was so worry that dad and mom (or other family members) will think sending me to piano class is a waste of money and that is going to make them feel really sad. Because our family isn’t that rich. So, no choice la. I had to bear with those painful moments, when teacher hits my fingers with her ruler because I play the wrong notes.

Now I am working in the industry. I still don’t think that I know how to handle stress and relax myself. I worry about my parents’ health condition and I want them to retire and enjoy life. I worry about my cousins, they are growing up and having teenage issues. I worry about grandma, she is getting weaker and weaker. I worry about ten. He is ambitious and I need to make sure I give necessary advices so that he won’t be too ambitious. I worry about Yin Keng, don’t know when can she meet her Mr. right. I worry about my close friends. I hope they are not having a lot of issues in their life. I worry about my career, not sure if I am doing the right thing and making the right move.

I wish I am a super girl. A super girl who is capable and can handle everything really well.

我愿意


走音,还需要多加练习

wait till I can play this song smoothly, then I will dedicate this song to you

我真的愿意, 什么都愿意为你

Such a beautiful song. I love it so much I don't know why.


***********************************************

Just A Kiss
~Lady Antebellum~

Lyin' here with you so close to me
It's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe
Caught up in this moment
Caught up in your smile

I've never opened up to anyone
So hard to hold back when I'm holding you in my arms
We don't need to rush this
Let's just take this slow

Just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight
Just a touch in the fire burning so bright
And I don't want to mess this thing up
I don't want to push too far
Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I've been waiting for my whole life
So baby I'm alright, with just a kiss goodnight

I know that if we give this a little time
It will only bring us closer to the love we wanna find
It's never felt so real, no it's never felt so right

Give me up again

"I can give up anything that I have. Really one!" I said.

You keep silence, and look at me, and touch my face, and then smile.

All this while, I thought that is a sign of acknowledgement and mutual agreement.

But I just noticed, it is not that way.

You never promise anything, you never said that you are willing to give up things for me.

And now, you gave me up.
Why?

I try to cry, but I couldn't.

I think I am running out of tears. I have been giving enough tears for whatever you have said and you have done for the pass one year.

I really don't understand.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

I really really do not understand.

When I listen to the song of the new TVB movie - ghetto justice, I fall in love with the theme song
When I found out the singers are hanjin 陈奂仁 and MC Jin 欧阳靖, I fall in love with them

I like them, for some reasons.
Besides the unique music, lyrics, and rap
I think they are showing off their attitude as well

And I love their attitude!



Just kidding...

First, I ask for money
God send me the Altera hiring offer letter

2nd, I ask for friendship
God send me a facebook account

3rd, I ask for concern, attention and advises
God send me the bus tickets to my hometown

4th, I ask for dream
God said: refer to item #1

Finally I ask for forever love
God send you
and a calender
showing today's date: 1st of April

You must be kidding me man

Going crazy, soon

回忆过去
痛苦的相思忘不了
为何你还来
拨动我心跳

There is not going to have a good ending for this story, we know this for sure
So please stay away from me, please

超人不会飞

在我很小很小的时候,我家有个超人,这个超人不会飞。
因为他太肥了。

但是超人很厉害,什么都会。灯泡,电器,家私,厕所,什么都会修理。
超人很厉害,每个早上我们醒来,妈妈还在房间化妆的时候,他已经变了一桌子的早餐给我们吃。
超人很厉害,我什么也瞒不过他。我到底有没有做好功课,有没有练琴,有没有睡午觉,有没有跟弟弟妹妹打架,有没有讲骗话,在学校有没有乱乱买零食吃,他统统都了如指掌,好像他有天眼那样监视着我的一举一动。

我从小就觉得超人很像个哲学家。不是因为他的学历(他才Form 3 or Form 5 毕业),而是他常常跟我讲的道理都会让我深思很久才领悟到。很厉害。

超人常常跟我说,知识很重要。他的年代,劳力可以带来稳定的收入,但是我未来的年代,只有知识才可以让我在社会立足。超人说,我要好好念书。把书念好,不是为了他或是为了谁,而是为我自己。后来我成了我这个家族第一个考进大学念书的孩子,而且我还是个女儿。我不知道他有没有觉得我很厉害,因为照他的道理来讲,我其实是在为我自己的未来努力而不是为了谁。但是我从小就很想超越他,很想比他更厉害。我很想让他觉得,我这个女儿很厉害。在我大学毕业典礼那天,老爸依然没有开口称赞我。但是在我领了毕业证书从领奖台走下来时,我看见他在家长席站了起来,远远的对着我笑。

老爸像很多典型的爸爸一样,明明心里很开心很感动,但是就是爱面子爱扮cool。

今天的超人,六十岁了。头发开始白了,耳朵开始不太灵光,脚步也越来越缓慢。但是超人在我心中依然是很厉害。

超人用了将近三十年的时间来爱我,爱这个家。
我也会用我今生今世的时间来爱老爸,和这个家。

超人不会飞,没有关系。
像老爸那样的超人,不会飞也很有型。

我心目中的超人不需要会飞,
只要他像老爸那样厉害就可以了。

When I listen to this
I cried, badly.

Man can sweet talk to you in so many ways
But in the end, who can really stay besides you
hold your hand and walk until the end?


那是个下着小雨,有点寒冷的凌晨
开着车轻轻松松的往Los Angeles的方向出发
半途想找个地方填填肚子,就用GPS找看附近的咖啡馆
结果我们就被带到Los Banos这个小镇的Starbucks
那是个距离原来的行程还蛮远的地方。

“你sure吗?Quite 远一下woh。”
“可以la,不用担心,有faiko在。”

~2011 五月。下着小雨的早晨。~
朴素的 Los Banos


我记得那杯Mocha和Blueberry Scones的味道。温温的,香香的。
我记得从freeway要转进Los Banos小镇时,我们经过的那片田园。一望无际,美美的。
我记得我们就这样赖在Starbucks的沙发上,静静的交谈,静静地听着Jazz,静静的看着窗外,看着正要准备日出作息的人们,还有那只赖在栏杆处的小狗。

这是整个路程,最温暖最美的时候
远远超过Los Angeles 的 Disneyland 和 Universal Studio

有faiko在,那是让我很安心的事。

What will you do when you miss someone.

Misscall him/her?
Text him/her?
Check his/her facebook, try to find out what he/she is doing lately?
Keep checking his/her msn status if he/she is online?
Listen to the songs, revise the precious moments in your mind again and again?

I miss you.

But I hate you too.

This is giving me a bad bad mood.


~ Almost the end of May, 2011 ~
 One night in Milpitas, San Jose
Someone was always beside me when I was in this kind of bad mood
Special thanks to that 'someone' :)

Terrified
~ by Katharine McPhee ~

************************************** 
You set it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark

And I'm in love
And I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life

And this could be good
It's already better than that
And nothing's worse
Than knowing you're holding back

I only said it 'cause I mean it
I only mean 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you
************************************** 

Tiffanny is almost every girls’ dream. I can’t deny that I would like to have one too. But marriage is not the matter of Tiffany or diamond carat. What matters is the person that you are going to live with for the rest of your life.

If the person is the right person for me, I don’t need a Tiffanny.
If I can’t find the right person, I don’t need a Tiffanny.

I know I am getting old, and at time goes by I am losing the qualification to say that “I don’t care!” for marriage. But I think if the person is not right, there is no point.

Sometimes, I wonder if life really worth it
But when I look at you face

I know it is.

Notice that I don’t really update my blog recently. Simply because I’m buzy :)
1# Crochet cute mittens and hat for my nephew!

My nephew is coming to this wonderful world in March next year. Everyone in the family is soooo excited. Poor little nephew hasn’t get his name yet, mainly because his dad’s surname is ‘Say’ – 谢. This is a very unique surname; usually it will be converted to ‘Sia’, ‘Cheah’, ‘Tsay’… When Pik Yee asks for opinion for her baby’s name, she always ended up getting funny names like ‘Say Cheese’ ‘Say Hello’ ‘Say Sorry’ from us. Poor thing! Haha

2# Fullfill my childhood dream

I know I mentioned that I hate Piano, cuz it brought some not-so-good childhood memory. But I do hope that I know how to play violin, I can’t explain why. I remembered I have a checklist for my 2008 New Year resolution, and one of them is to learn violin. It’s already 2010 December right now. One day, I was doing house-keeping for my gmail, and out of sudden I notice my last email conversation with the music studio was on 2010 January. Seems like I have decided which studio to go and which class to take at that time. I can’t believe that I can drag the decision for 12 months! So the next day lunch time, without any hesitation I to go to ATM, cash out few hundreds, drive to the studio, and register for a violin class.

I just want to make sure that when I die one day, I can tell myself: “It’s ok, at least u know how to play violin…”

3# Maintain my blogshop!

Secret Lover of coz! It is fun, and easy. I do not feel stressful at all by doing all these fun things and trying to grab customers. We have stocked up few more items from victoria secret.

4# Work, of coz 

Works accumulate day by day, never-ending. But I am glad that it is never-ending, that means I am learning something new everyday and oppurtunities come in everyday. Give me more, I can do it!

5# Shopping sprreeeee

I got a new watch, a new pair of white shoes, a new handbag, a new bracelet, a new dinner white dress, a new denim one-piece dress, a new scaft, a new eye pallete from too-faced… feeling guilty right now. My purse hates me, I know.

6# Handle and control my emotions

I am frustrated. I am disappointed. I am sad. I am depress. I am upset. I do not know what do you want. And you tell me that you also do not know what do you want. I really do not know what I am I suppose to do right now.

Vibrato...


Still remember I mentioned that when I was young and still learning piano, I had a miserable time as I don't understand why I don't look as elegant as my piano teacher? I think that is because I don't have long hair those days. For no reason, dad just doesn't like me to keep long hair when I was still in school.

Now I have long hair. So I think it's time to do something that I want since childhood. I always wanted to learn violin! I am still improving my skill, so that I can play my fav songs smoothly.

Sometimes, it's not easy to get to do what you love. Some people just doesn't have the choice. But I have, and I feel really grateful that I get to do what I love to do.

I think I can play a better and smoother song one day. I am not quiet there yet, but I will be there one day :)


It is very easy to put something into your heart
and it is very difficult to take it away

It is very easy to love someone
and it is very difficult to forgive

如果时间是可以治疗所有事情
那时间可不可以跳快一点

My bad habits

The first thing the instructor told us during the "7 habits for highly effective people" training class today is to get rid of bad habits.

If you are a shopaholic with heavy credit card debts, time to break the cards now.
If you are a smoker, time to put away the cigarette now.

My bad habit is I tend to think of you when I feel alone. Even when there is someone beside me or I am in the center of crowd. Whenever I feel alone, I will think of you. I feel painful in my heart. Very painful.

I still don't understand. What makes you think that I am strong enough to take this?

NO, you are wrong. I couldn't take this. Not at all.

How can I get rid of this bad habit? I don't know.

I have been trying so hard. At least for the past 7 months. I swear.

Alcohol is the only remedy, I guess.

At least it works for insomnia.

DVD播完了,片尾曲开始响起
字幕也慢慢升上来了

你忽然从我地身后抱着我,
我吓了一跳
“你要干吗?”

“我还没有想到。”

“你到底要怎样?”

“都讲还没有想到咯。等这首歌播完我再跟你讲”

我不明白
那首歌已经播完很久
那几乎是六个月前的事情了
你还是搞不清楚你想怎样

可以告诉我吗?
别在折磨我了

雨淋濕了天空 毀得很講究
妳說妳不懂 為何在這時牽手
我曬乾了沉默 悔得很衝動
就算這是做錯 也只是怕錯過

在一起叫 夢~
分開了叫 痛~
是不是說 沒有做完的夢最痛~
迷路的後 果~
我能承受 這最後的出口在愛過了才有

能不能給我一首歌的時間
緊緊的把那擁抱變成永遠
在我的懷裡妳不用害怕失眠
哦如果妳想忘記我也能失憶

能不能給我一首歌的時間
把故事聽到最後才說再見
妳送我的眼淚 讓它留在雨天
哦越過妳劃的線我定了勇氣 的終點

哦妳說我不該不該 不該在這時候說了我愛妳
要怎麼證明我沒有說謊的力氣 哦請告訴我
暫停算不算放棄 我只有一天的回憶

自由的味道

这是一次没有计划,但是很有预谋的出走。
除了报平安以外,我也不太联络谁。
没有牵挂的日子真好玩。
睡醒后,要去什么地方,拿个地图和GPS,把车油添满就出发了。
管不着隔天有没有上班,我晚上还是可以喝个烂醉。
就这个样子任性了几个星期,真的很爽!
偶而做个不负责任的人,也不错

著名的葡萄酒乡,美丽又无人烟的Lake Henessey,舒服的阳光,
我就这样在甲板上小睡了片刻。

自由的味道,夹杂了Napa Valley的阳光和红酒的香醇,很温暖
~ 慑于California, 美丽而纯朴Napa Valley ~





最近李心洁出了新书:  在我说愿意之前
书名很酷! 还没看,因为太贵了不舍得买 =.= 谁要送我啊..?


每个人的心里,因该有个"在我说愿意之前"的checklist。

在我说愿意之前
我要去希腊,我要去爱琴海
我要知道我是不是真的爱你
我要知道你到底知不知道你是不是真的爱我

好复杂


我爱故我在 ~陶子~


女人必读,男人更加要看
一定要推荐的一本书

表现了现代女人不再需要自舔伤口的那份勇气
又可杠起多种女性角色所需的温柔

温柔又辛辣,让我流泪了好几回。

Please, go away.

I almost forget
I have to make sure that I am holding my own key of happiness
I won’t let you hurt my feelings again
I won’t

At this moment
I just want you to stay away from me

迷路

一个很没安全感的人,在旅行前一定会像要做好万二分的准备,要万无一失。今天去哪里、怎样去、吃些什么、看些什么、买些什么,都一定要事前计划好。
一个很重视自在感、生活刺激的人,什么都不喜欢先计划好。今天去哪里、怎样去、吃些什么、看些什么、买些什么?睡醒才讲。够力。

所以和石头旅行了这么多次,我每次都会给他气死。

于是这次在快要出发前几个星期,我们一人让一步,达成一个协议。计划一个旅程大纲,但是不要需要太详细。譬如说,哪一天要去南怡岛,哪一天要滑雪之类的。但是不太需要知道怎样去,吃什么,看什么之类的。

结果我在这个旅程得到很多预料不到的惊喜

我开始学会享受
其实有时候迷路也是路途的一部分


正如人生。

~摄于韩国。零下十七度的南怡岛~
~Jan 2011~

致命伤

去新加坡绕了一圈,跑了一趟韩国
我还是沉淀不了我的心情
我还是忘不了那一晚你的沉默不语

真正的致命伤,是你并没有开口留我
