Fridge magnet that says,

I love all the quotes!

没那么简单 KTV

在youtube看到其中一位网友对这首歌的评语：

“第一次听到时，毛孔都竖立了；

第二次听时，感觉歌词深深地打动了我的心；

在仔细聆听，发现她的声音其实满适合这首歌。”

想想，我好像也有同感耶。 哈哈。

p/s：今天做了很疯狂的事。就是花了两个半小时的时间来找出在《就想赖着你》里，言承旭到底是去哪一间糖果店买糖果给Ella。结论：是台北市武昌街26号的《果风小铺》！Sophisca，你等我，一个月后见！

^^

爱，恨。

人家说，

“爱得深，恨得也深。”

我不是那个人家啦，所以不是很赞同这个句子。

怎么说？

你如果可以这么爱一个人，你怎么会舍得让他难过，对不对？就算是分开了，没办法继续了，你也希望他可以过得快乐，而不是去恨他，诅咒他过得不好。有朋友问我，那要怎么放下？我说，把你的耳朵，眼睛都闭起来吧。不要去听到关于他的一切，不要去看到关于他的消息包括和他的合照，总之，远离他的一切。还有，要把回忆也锁上，说服自己不去回想和他过往种种的回忆。这个可能会有一点难，不过没关系，时间会帮你的。 =） 可是不要误会哦，我不是在劝你逃避。只是一开始不能面对的，就不要逼自己去正视它。先放它在一边，等有心理准备后，才面对它吧。

在Facebook里流传着一些notes ，上面写着：

分手后，

不能做朋友，因为彼此伤害过；

不能做敌人，因为彼此相爱过，

所以他成了你最熟悉的陌生人。

如果两个人分手之后做了朋友，

那说明你从来没爱过他，

如果两个人分手之后已就可以做会分手之前做的事，

那说明你想让他记住你，

如果两个人分手之后你不再见他并大声说你很他，

那说明你舍不得离开他，

如果两个人分手之后在彼此的世界消失了，

那说明你真的爱他。

我个人也不是很认同啦，我相信真的放下以后，再见也还会是朋友，不是吗？

附送一首相关的歌吧~

p/s:怎么我听起来有点像电台的DJ啊？ LOL……

Gilda Radner says,

"I've always wanted a happy ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious ambiguity!"

Booooring weekends but, contented

It's Sunday! I hope everyone(especially ChaoYi) will not get too upset tomorrow morning when they wake up. If Monday doesn't come, how are we going to have Sunday, right? haha. I have a boooooooring weekends actually. The most interesting things that I've done during the past two days were:

1. Finish watching Down With Love within 1 day.
2. Went for swimming and manage to achieve 9laps in half an hour time.
3. Revise a bit and prepare for the coming lectures.

Yes yes and yes, I know these sound boring but then, you need the word "boring" so that you know what "interesting" will be when it comes, isn't it? I don't need my everyday to be packed with activities/gatherings that are "interesting". Because all these interesting stuffs are good in draining my energy and eventually, I'll go zombie-look. haha.

I enjoyed having such weekends and I want my life to continue to be like this with(of course) some interesting plans added in.

But really, the main point is, I want to live my life and not to be lived by my life.

累了，就把心事放下來

今天刚好和一位朋友聊到这个话题，就收到这么一封电邮。电邮里是这么写着的：

"最近認識一位美國籍的出家師父，是個很有趣的事情。

特別是他叫我舉起蕃茄汁，跟他說話的經驗。

我們約在新竹的一家茶館，用英文談論著心經，

師父用英文跟我解釋因果、輪迴這些事情，這都還不稀奇。

有趣的事情在後頭呢！

師父一聽完我跟他提到～個人煩惱的時候，

他索性要我左手提起～他剛買的三罐番茄汁，

一邊提著，一邊跟他說話。

可想而知，我左手感覺到疲勞的程度，跟時間成了正比。

也懊惱著為何師父要我一邊提著三罐蕃茄汁，一邊跟他說話。

受不了這樣的酸楚，我自行把左手放下，

卻聽到師父跟我說：

「 Hold it up, and keep talking to me. 」

聽到這樣的話，心理不免起了疑心，

我手提的那麼酸，

為何不讓我放下手上的重物，輕鬆地與他對談？

約莫過了15分鐘，我的左手實在承受不住了，

才聽見師父跟我說：「Now you can put it down」。

看著我狐疑的臉，師父居然笑了出來。

「你不喜歡提著重物跟我說話， 為何你卻喜歡帶著煩惱，過著你的生活呢？

手酸了，放下就好，對待煩惱，不也是這樣？

或是這些煩惱，就像是那些番茄汁一樣，

是你自己用手把它們給舉起來的呢？」

有趣的經驗，對吧？

最近我開始這樣的練習，

一手舉起有重量的東西，一邊想著事情。

手酸了，自然會放下手上的東西，

看看有一天，我會不會也學到，心累了，就把心事給放下來。

我們能很容易的放下有形的重物，

卻很難放下無形的重擔。

執著的人生～會讓自己承擔莫需有的重擔。

學習放下執著～也就在學習人生自在。"

能解決的事，不必去擔心；
不能解決的事，擔心也沒用。
在順境中感恩、在逆境中依舊心存喜樂 ……

Two Bluebottles~

Was reading "The Book of Tomorrow".

Come across these,

" I was watching a bluebottle yesterday. In an effort to escape the living room, he kept flying against the window, hitting his head against the glass over and over. Then he stopped launching himself at it like a missile and stuck to one little windowpane, buzzing about like he was having a panic attack. It was frustrating to watch, especially because if he'd just flown up a little bit higher towards the top of the window, he'd have been free. But he just kept doing the same thing over and over again. I could imagine his frustration of being able to see the trees, the flowers, the sky, yet not being able to get to them. I tried to help him a few times, to guide him towards the open window, but he flew away from me around the room. He'd eventually come back to the same window and I could almost hear him: "Well, this is the way I came in..."

I wonder if my watching him from the armchair is what it's like to be God, if there is a God. He sits back and sees the big picture, just as I could see that if the bluebottle just moved up the window to the top, then he'd be free. He wasn't really trapped at all, he was just looking in the wrong place. ... "

Quoted from The Book of Tomorrow.

It leads me into deep thought.....

A nice to book to read o, worth reading! hehe.

Pictures found

~ in one of my folders.

LOL.

I know this is random.

Just some pictures to share with.

=)

靜思小語

忽然间很喜欢这一句，“过去是杂念，未来是妄想”。

未来嘛，我反而没有想太多耶，奇怪。

可是过去嘛，有时很放不下。以前的日子太开心了，一直很想回到那个时候；虽然知道是不可能的，还是不能自拔地想到过去。

我想学会，活在当下。因为只有活在当下，才会看到，身边的东西有多美好.(也才看到，地上有多么多的灰尘与头发。哈哈。)

希望身边的朋友，你们也能活在当下并且学会珍惜吧。

^,^

一切，要及时。

正在读书的当儿，外面飘起绵绵白雪。心里忽然想起在马来西亚的家人。想起他们未能亲眼目睹下雪的情景，而自己能有幸坐在这里，应该要和他们分享分享。可是因为正在念书，心里迟疑了一些，在想，把这个给念完再打吧。正想投入回去书堆中，心又迟疑了。万一，念完书后，雪停了，怎么办?毕竟下雪停雪的自然现象，是我们所不能控制的。于是，下定决心。给家人打了通电话。因为webcam的megapixels 有限，家人也不是看得很清楚。但是我心里却是十分开心，至少我做了我想做的，没有遗憾。

很想说，很多时候，我们就是这样子，想做一件事，却因为种种的外在或内在因素的阻扰而耽搁下来，最后留下的，只是遗憾。所以啊，一切要及时；

读书要及时，

以免考试不及格；

吃饭要及时，

以免饿坏了肚子；

休息要及时，

以免累坏了身子；

道歉要及时，

以免伤害了感情，

解释要及时，

以免产生了误会；

说爱要及时，

以免错过“这一次”；

人生，

活的要及时，

以免遗憾渡余生。

就像佛陀所说的，我们要活在当下，做该做的事，说该说的话。

人生啊，能有几多回？把握当下吧。

当我老了

当我老了，不再是原来的我。请理解我，对我有一点耐心。

当我把菜汤洒到自己衣服上时，当我忘记怎样系鞋带时，请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。

当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语，请耐心地听我说，不要打断我。你小的时候，我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事，直到你进入梦乡。

当我需要你帮我洗澡时，请不要责备我。还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗？

当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时，请不要嘲笑我。想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。

当我由于双腿疲劳而无法行走时，请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。就像你小时候学习走路时，我扶你那样。

当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题，请给我一些时间让我回想。其实对我来说，谈论什么并不重要，只要你能在一旁听我说，我就很满足。

当你看着老去的我，请不要悲伤。理解我，支持我，就像你刚开始学习如何生活时我对你那样。当初我引导你走上人生路，如今请陪伴我走完最后的路。给我你的爱和耐心，我会报以感激的微笑，这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。

中学佛学会时，有位师父来为我们开示，讲到关于父母恩重和现代人不会知恩图报时，就给我们念了这么一篇文章；后来朋友转发电邮；到最后，韵怡打印了一张出来给我。觉得和这一篇文章很有缘，就想和大家一起分享，顺便提醒自己，行孝要及时,切莫等到“ 树欲静而风不止，子欲养而亲不在”。 而且想说，我真的很爱我的父母亲，他们最棒了！=）

Just a sentence~

I don't believe in "I can't live without you". Rather, I believe in "I can live without you, but I choose not to."

Having to come across this sentence in my friend's, YongWei's Facebook status a few days ago. I was like, resonating with it. Isn't it true enough? And I love the way she said it.

Words of Wisdom

Received an email from Jasmine yesterday. Thought it would be good to share this with friends as I find these are quite meaningful. =)

Never explain yourself to anyone.

Because the person who likes you doesn't need it,

and the person who dislikes you wouldn't believe it.

When you keep saying you're busy,

then you are never free.

When you keep saying you have no time,

then you will never have time.

When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow,

then your tomorrow will never come.

When we wake up in the morning,

we have two simple choices.

Go back to sleep and dream,

or wake up and chase those dreams.

Choice is yours.

We make those who care for us cry,

We cry for those who never care for us,

And we care for those who will never cry for us.

This is the truth of life,

it's strange but true.

Once you realise it,

it's never too late to change.

Don't make promises when you are in joy.

Don't reply when you are sad.

Don't make decision when you are angry.

Thinks twice, act wise.

Time is like a river.

You can never touch the same water twice,

because the flow that has passed will never pass again.

Enjoy every moment of life.
