    So i'm just trying to run away from the truth?

    总是埋怨朋友把他们的故事强加于自己,却没人可以听听我的故事。
    转而一想,我又何时让别人进入过我的世界,我的故事又何时值得一提,可以轻描淡写得在一杯咖啡中便消磨了。
    应该去哪里找回久违的信任感?

    [The Boiled Frog Theory]:
     
    If you put a frog into a pot of boiling water,  it will leap out right away to escape the danger.
    But,  if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant,   then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling,  the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late.

    We'd better watch out the slowly changing trends around us before getting in serious trouble.
    我不想做 " boiled frog" ,随时都要清楚自己周围事物的状态。
    08年虽然很霉,但也要霉得有腔调。
    无论大方向,小目标,无厘头的设想,我都要行动了 !!!

    约朋友去酒吧看奥运开幕式。很久没听到国歌了。
    英国入场的时候,新加坡人似乎比看见自己国家还兴奋,奇怪了,被殖民得缓不过神了。
    很多人在自己国家入完场以后便走人,我怎样也要死撑到最后。
    四个小时,中间不乏困意,猜想那也是酒精的作用。
    朋友问我为什么不在家里看,最近只想把自己丢在外面,丢在人群里。可惜最后还是要一个人回家,呵呵。

    有人说,我们要时常去墓地走走,无论现在多忙碌,最后终究是一个结局。
    生者为死去的人流泪,逝去的人倒也得以安息。
    一个朋友说,有时宁愿我自己先走,看着我爱的人一个个离开自己,很凄凉。
    曾有几天,现在也是,闭上眼,便是外婆的身影,她的笑容一直是我最怀念的。
    前几天看完了村上的《挪威的森林》,何不活得像小说那样?
    回到学校,想起了一句歌词:pretty faces around but not rhymed.

         Demolition is everywhere. Architecture tells lots about the culture of the city.  Can't say we are losing the culture, but at least we are losing some memory. Simply love those old buildings in Shanghai. They may disappear without a trace someday if we don't record them down.

    <Hey There Delilah>
    Plain White T's
     
    Hey there delilah,don't you worry about the distance
    I'm right there if you get lonely,give this song another listen,close your eyes
    Listen to my voice ,its my disguise,I'm by your side
     
      
     
    A thousand miles seems pretty far,but they've got planes and trains and cars
    I'd walk to you if i had no other way
    Our friends would all make fun of us
    and we'll just laugh along because we know that none of them have felt this way
     
      
     
    Hey there delilah,you be good and don't you miss me
    Two more years and you'll be done with school and i'll be makin history like i do
    You know its all because of you
    We can do whatever we want to
     
      
      
    也许是懒得写东西,也许因为不知道写什么,也许是太多东西想写,也许是最近爱上这首歌。

    回学校的那天,依然是阴天。
    和老师聊了两个多小时,每年都一样,无论再忙都要回母校看一看。
    看着学弟学妹们穿着校服行走在校园,当然会想起以前的自己。
     最近看一本书,有一句话:
    “ 人永远都无法知道自己该要什么,因为人只能活一次,既不能拿它跟前世相比,也不能在来生加以修正。”
    所以,我们回不到从前,既然这样,就大胆往前走吧。

    Okay, 19 now , not getting any younger.
    No party, no pub , but it's my great birthday ever.
    It makes you feel released when talking with a person who can really understand and support you.
    Christmas is coming. 
    Orchard is lit up as usual.
     
      
     
    在别人的空间看到一句话:
     
    作为女人 要经得起敷衍 受得了欺骗 忘得掉承诺 放得下一切
     
     
     
     
     
     Everyone got a story behind. Thanks for sharing your story with me.
    Sometimes we just follow our hearts eventhough we are not sure how the future looks like.
    Don't miss the one you really love.

    i need to take a break

     
    I'm getting tired.
    I just wanna go home, simply , go home.
     
    太多事要想,也许是我庸人自扰。
    不能去习惯一个人,也不能相信周围的人,只为了保护好自己。
    很累。
     

     

       

     

    Promised to put some photos of the city i have been living for two years.

    PLEASE DON'T LAUGH AT ME , I'M NOT PROFESSIONAL AT ALL-_-''

    These were shot after clubbing.

    That was the first time i stayed outside for the whole night and  got a little drunk.

    Singapore is more beautiful when she's awake.

    If you feel down, just look outside the window, green color will easily cheer you up.

    If I have to leave here one day, I'm gonna miss here.

    No matter how funny the English is, how small the country is.

    I spent the most  two important years of my life here .

    Wanna say thank you to people who used to help and support me.

    Simple

                           
     
                           有时候很想生一场大病,让自己有借口休息一下。
                           有时候又会想,假若搭乘的航班事故,自己会在遗愿表上写些什么?想着想着便又开始害怕起坐飞机。别人问我,下次回国是什么时候,我说:“等通火车了吧。”
                           一边想快点结束生命,一边又想着怎样保命。难怪有人说我活得很矛盾。          
     
     
     
         
     
                              咖啡正式对我失去效用。只能用吵闹的音乐来提神。听到耳膜快破了,还是想睡。
                              真想就这样一直睡下去。直到醒来的时候是另一个世界。

    Green Tea, Ipod, Notes... ... Life can be that simple.
     
                                                             
    sometimes realize that my dream is getting far from me.  It seems like a balloon which had flown away and  i  
     
    could never catch.
     
    Everything went missing, not just dream, innocence, optimism, happiness... ....
     
    Should i give up all these things, ha, people might say:" welcome to the real world!"

    梦想没了,还剩下些什么?

    形形色色的人,多少面具都不够,唯一能做的,只有脱下面具,学会包容。

    12th September

      
      Two years ago, i met some people i liked for two years.
         Today , i met some people i might hate for two years.
         Who has the time machine to let me go back?
         You might not know , it's the day i met you two years ago.
         Put my iPod on, turn to full volume so that i cannot hear people around me and just think about you.
         12th Sep, i'll remember this day.
         <Everywhere>by Michelle Branch
          Cause you're everywhere to me , and when i close my eyes , it's you i see.

    love like you've never been hurt

           久没写一些东西了,因为要读书,也是因为太多东西不知从何说起,很多想法也没有必要表述。
           算是开始了新的学习生活,我也不奢望自己最终会得到什么令人喜悦的结果,只想着明天应该干什么,命运摆在眼前,怎么努力也抵不过上天的安排。
            心里想着要多做善事,积德,为了下辈子着想,可是来世怎会记得今生的一切,也不错,如果现在给我一碗孟婆汤,我也会咕噜咕噜喝下去。
            随遇而安,趁年轻,能努力就努力,积累足够的知识,以后的社会经验才能发挥其最大的功效。一味抱怨上天的不公也只是徒劳,运用积极的心态,产生动力,才能在能力范围内达到期望值。
           人生苦短,能爱就爱,该恨就恨,有了情感才能区别于低等动物,过完整的人生。
           收笔,要去焚膏继晷了。
     
     
       
     
         picture called " Honey, we did it"  , i saw it  on some site .
        Although life is tough, world is real , we should believe there is love around us.
        Recently heard a song called The Right One . It's a chinese song . One sentence, which gave me a deep impression, said that love should be waited with patience, be searched with carfulness.
        Don't be worried for haven't found the right one , believe that god had planned it for us .Just wait and see...

      去爱吧, 就像不曾受过伤一样

     
     
    唱歌吧,像没有人会聆听一样
     
    跳舞吧,像没有人会欣赏一样

    去爱吧,就像不曾受过伤一样 

    干活吧,像是不需要金钱一样

    生活吧,就像今天是末日一样
     
     
     
    Love like you've never been hurt

    Sing like nobody's listening.

     Dance like nobody's watching.

    Love like you've never been hurt.

    Work like you don't need the money.

    Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
