有人問她

很多人問我的女朋友是一個怎樣的人，我除了傻笑，就是有點支吾以對。
最常的即時反應是：「她是一個好人。」，至於怎麼好，我想了很久都想不到一個由淺入深的答案。今天終於找到了。
她是一個有傳統東方賢淑女性特質，身懷古風，但又會對西方個人主義和自省反思有所體會的人。再簡單一點來說，她像是一個金庸小說裡面的儀琳小師父，非禮勿視，非禮勿聽，非禮勿言，非禮勿動。唯一不能不動的，可能是她的心。

最近在思考的句子。

「怕悶            





                                                                                                                                      所以留白。」

Auld Lang Syne

To the sunny cities of this world,

You have no idea.

Love,
From Scotland

P.S. They are called liquid sunshine.

碰巧

愛上一個愛我的人，
就如我剛好是我媽媽的孩子，
就這麼簡單。

A wee while

During a major renovation in the new flat, I was told by the foreman, not to worry about the messed up toilet while we are working on the kitchen.

He said, 'don't cross the bridge until you get to it.'

Maybe life is just the same.
When you get to the end of it, you'll know where to put your foot down.

And when you do, the 'water under the bridge' will take care of things.
We are, after all, stardusts that linger here for a wee while.

往事

想不到，我早學會了，
學會了忘掉。
年少無知，對不起。

謝謝妳，讓我聽到了後來。

也謝謝你們，今日仍與我共行的友人。

Another encounter

Was walking down the road on my way to supermarket, and on came three pigeons flying quite low then "BOOM!". The pigeons rammed their heads onto a glass panel while the third missed it just by inches. One fell on the floor and died immediately, the other struggled on for a few minutes and then died. Then fresh red blood started gushing out of their eyes and beak.

Funny how animals, people die everyday and you can feel so distant about it, but when you actually see one dying right in front of you, it still send shocks your system a lot. I don't know how we can justify ourselves in killing other animals to fill our stomach, but as it occurs, we do that everyday and we barely ever see the poor creature being killed.

It's a strange world we live in.

Interesting encounter

I went downstairs to get some cash from the machine.
Lady came up to me, trying to hand me a flier and asked, 'Do you go to church?'
'No.......' (come on cash, come out....)
'Jesus loves you!'

....... 'Thank you.'

Somebody whose dead 2000 years ago loves me?
Great, thanks, to be honest, I felt really flattered.

Thought of the day

Be a practical romantic, let the dreams come true.

難喔

自己以為老實，不行！
那正是不老實，自以為老實就是不老實。
什麼是老實人？
道理真正明白，一個妄念都沒有，才叫老實！
