Roles

Growing up does not mean by age. With the time past by, we learnt. We learnt to be a better person. What defines by better person you may ask. In my layman eyes, being a better person means learn to play well in your ROLES (plural). We all having multiple roles at one time, as a student, as a lover, as a son/daughter, as a parent, as an employee/employer, as a man/woman. How well we play our roles, sadly it is also defined by other people standard. That is why we said life is a continuous learning process. Through experiences, we get to essence of how to play our roles better and that is one of the signs that you are growing, besides those physical characteristics. 

How many roles each one of you are playing? Imagine the work load, it goes almost the same with everyone. Smile and play well. :)

Sunset 夕阳

Sunset is one of my favourite moments.

Vibrant, colourful and mystic. 

It is like the stage curtain, gradually veil the day, putting an end to it. 

Then, the nightfall kick in. 

With less energy, nevertheless more peaceful and serene.

羞涩妩媚的夕阳，曾经那么的耀眼，转眼却无尽忧伤。

美丽的夕阳， 带有无尽的色彩。

耀眼的光波，

残阳， 依旧泛着金光。

静懿却不乏温馨。

Changes

We go through metamorphosis, everyone of us will, someday at someplace.

It is a process and we learn through it. 

We transform, continuously, settle at a stage for sometime, and again, we continue the transformation. 

We tend to be wounded, but getting stronger along the way. 

We will never ever stay the same forever.

Some, 

keep walking when they are hurt.

Some, 

keep talking when they are hurt.

Some,

Stop thinking when they are hurt.

Some,

Stop caring when they are hurt.

直肠子

弯弯曲曲的道路， 九曲十八弯， 不是我这直肠子的那一杯茶。

自己原本就比较直肠子。

因为觉得抱着这样的态度，

看开一点， 活得坦坦荡荡，

生活也许会简单一点。

摩擦

The sunset at Pantai Pasir Panjang, January 2013. 夕阳， 金光闪闪。

人与人之间， 总会有不断的矛盾， 有解不开的疑问， 没有道理的事情发生。直到我们都累了， 不爱去计较了，问题却还是会源源不绝的来。凡是在生活上有交叉的人， 就有机会发生摩擦，避也避不了， 除非是完全和你不相干的人。 
面对这样的问题， 伤心也好， 失落也罢。 最重要的莫过于伤心失落后从新的站起来， 那就已经是最大的成就了。

流失

可以感觉到某些东西逐渐的流失。
原来， 所谓的归属感是那么的重要。
因为有人的所作所为， 让我唯一的归属感大大的打了折扣。
这一份失去， 没料到给我带来的那么大的失落。 
当在那四面墙里的人开始容不下你的时候，
你就失去了那个 "家" 的意义， 渐渐的， 连可以依靠的地方也会消失。 

心.动

“ 等待，是为了和你相遇。”

偶然见到这一句，心弦莫名的被触动了一下。
我想说， 好想潇洒的说这一句话。 

Crossing from 2012 to 2013

365 days. Some bad days and some good days in between. On the new year eve, i continued my last year tradition of writing an email to thank someone who have been helping me so much in everything in my life. Made creme caramel and tea to celebrate my new year eve, sitting on the cold tile of my balcony floor, caressing by the cooling breeze, sipping hot tea and sharing my thoughts with my late father. Miss him so much on that cold night, when fireworks were blasting here and there in my sight. I recollected the first time this type of gigantic fireworks being introduced to "normal residents", around 8-9 years back which my neighbourhood was just started to taste its sweetness. Me and my father would walk around to hunt for its glory lights. 

After his leaving, fireworks reminded me of him every time when i see one. Especially during the festive season of new year and Chinese New Year. On year 2011, i was so blessed to have a once in a life time chance (to me it was) to visit US with my granny and uncle's family. Witnessed the most glorious enchanting and magical fireworks I could ever imagined in Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Yesterday, on the new  year eve, from the other end of my building, the bomb-blastic sound some fireworks caught my attention. So i went with camera, and managed to capture one photo. Very soon, after the building opposite is up. I will lose the chance of seeing such beautiful fireworks from there. Well, we all have to move on. 

2012 had been a good year to me when I try to only look a the bright side and ignore the bad. Many wonderful and memorable moments I had. I feel that, I kind of lost my impatience little by little too. Grateful and wishing to have another "enchanting" year. 

First photo of the year 2013. Bomb-blastic fireworks. Sign of the coming bombastic year? Let us all wish for that.
