整理资讯的启发

我们在生活中是不是常常忙碌地往前冲，
不断地收集回忆与讯息，
而没有真正地坐下来，好好地整理自己所收集的资讯呢？
我知道有些朋友的organisational skills 真的很好，比如说，旅行后，他们都会第一时间去收集和整理照片。
而。。哈，我是第二种人，
结果今天想要整理电脑的资料，才发现。。
杂乱的资料总是东堆一点，西堆一点，
要堆到整座火山要爆发了才来收拾。

有些资料，也不知分辨，是否还重要，是否对我们有益，
有时候就只是收集，收集，收集，又不舍得丢掉。
电脑是如此，我们的大脑也是如此。
每天都有非常多的讯息进入我们的脑海里，
有些变成开心的，不开心的，无所谓的，废废的，
因为没有好好静下来，整理，思维，哪些是对我的身心有益的，
哪些是过去了，应该放下的。
所以，喜欢的不喜欢的，总是在我们的脑里转。我们渐渐就有了印象，有了各种不同的回忆。又对喜欢的东西不舍得，所以又去追。追到了，又觉得就是没有当初那么好了。为什么叻？因为，就像在吃冰淇淋一样，第二个永远都不会和第一个一样的。事实便是如此。

其实，整理，也就是Reflection的一种。

所以呀，有时间的话，不妨静下来，
好好地整理一下身边的环境，
为身心来个大扫除，
不要的，就放下吧。珍贵的。就留下吧。
有input, 有output，生命才会像个流动的河水，活泼自在。

The end of the world

Before the so-called end of era comes, it has grabbed so many attention. Why? Because of the deep-down in our heart we fear of the coming of the death, and we are also intensely curious of what will happen when death really comes, and what will happen if we all died together? Will it really happen on us? We are frightened but somehow we want to know what will happen when the time comes.

However, when the so-called end didn’t come, we laugh indifferently and said, “ That’s not the end of the world! Hah! I knew it is just a joke.” We said this as if we will never die, as if we have forgotten uncertainties will wash anything away anytime. And today could be the end of the world for someone living on earth, so how can we say that this is not the end for him / her and how can we be sure our death is not near to us? That is such a great misinterpretation. However, if we are not aware of the fleeting of time, if we still continue in our circles of habits and worldly pleasures, no matter how long we live on earth, without realizing this life will still come to an end. And that time, we will experience the same kind of fear for the end of the world, and that is the real end to our life. If we never worked on our mind and explore the true nature of this world, how can we overcome the fear and pass away peacefully when you don’t know where you will be going? If we came to deeply realize that death is always our final destination, we might choose to live our life in a different way. If we know there’s life after this life according to Buddhist concepts, we will choose to do more good deeds to get more happiness and hope for a better life after this, or even better future. We will focus more on building our virtues and the inner qualities in us, because that’s the only thing we can bring away with us after our death. We will want to live happily right here and right now because there is no need to sit and wait for happiness in the future.  As the past has always past and the future never comes.

If we truly accept the fact that we soon gonna die and we don’t know when exactly we will die, we will live our life truthfully and prepare ourself to face death at anytime. This is not a pessimistic view, this is a realistic point of view. Imagine when we have overcome the fear and not to be bothered by the fear of death, does it still matter if the-end-of-the world come or not? 

If the end comes, let it be the end of our stupidity and wrongful acts. May we grow more wisdom and realise the true meaning of our life and the natural phenomena around us.

P.S. : in this piece, I have stopped being a perfectionist. Well that's my true voice from the heart. and I feel great!

The christmas market

The christmas market

A cup of hot spiced apple juice
A few packets of Chou chou peanuts
Bratwurst with curry ketchup sauce
Crispy pork belly
and a great friend who is still around with you after the sky has turned dark

What we need is not that much
A great moment of joy is not that far
And all that makes a great pre-christmas night for me :)))

A card from mom

开心

Today I received a card in a pink envelope. My name and address was typed on it. Looking at the back, what? it's my home adress. It must be my mom who said she want to post a card to me (despite that it was a few days before my birthday!) I said no need since it is already that late, but she insisted that. So she quietly did so.

Oh, it's my first time ever in life to receive a birthday card from my parents, come to think of that. Haha! That is so sweet although not that surprising :P My mom's handwriting is still as usual, so neat and much more elegant than mine. Awwww,my heart is full of love. Althought the internet is so advanced now, a card made of paper sent by post still make a big impact to the person who receive it. It is something you can touch and hold dearly to your heart.......And something I can put at a corner of my room. Awwwww...

Like the quote in the card saying,
"Having you as a daughter has brought some wonderful feelings...
happiness at seeing you grow into such a kind, giving person,
pride in the way you follow your dreams, 
and love -just for being the incredible daughter you are!"

Love makes the world go round!

John Lennon

Remember the time when John Lennon sang to us across the space and time in London Olympics 2012 closing ceremony? I was a little moved by the presence of him and his voice beautifully singing out his imagination.

And this morning whilst sharing it with my friend, it led me to explore John Lennon's life and his other songs. It is rather saddening to know that he was actually murdered in New York at his glorious age of 40. Otherwise, he would have been on the same stage on Paul McCartney singing his best songs for the Olympics.

One click leads to another. That's how I found his other songs which are equally stunning and pleasing to ear.   E.g. The beautiful boy, woman, give peace a chance, etc. He can easily express himself without much words.   He just sings his thoughts out along with the flow of the melody. He is such a diamond and I wonder why I only start appreciating him that late? hehe..


Oh such a beautiful fatherly love.
I believe every dad has the same feeling like John when looking through the eyes of their kids.

And this one:


Only a great composer can come out with these lyrics.

We're playing those mind games together

Pushing the barriers planting seeds

Playing the mind guerrilla

Chanting the Mantra peace on earth

We all been playing those mind games forever

Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil

Doing the mind guerrilla

Some call it magic the search for the grail

Love is the answer and you know that for sure

Love is a flower you got to let it grow

And Yes will be the answer to put all the mind guerrillas into peace. Yes I made up my mind for where I go in the end of August. :)
Glad that I know a little bit more about him today!

一念执着步步惊心

一眼之念，一念执着于步步惊心~ >.<

首先是被这三首歌吸引着
然后想起朋友介绍
结果 就完全中毒啦！
这几天都是看到两点才睡觉 煲剧
好久都没这样做了

看完了 有点意犹未尽
在慢慢回味

非常喜欢八爷和若稀在一起的甜蜜时光！
是整部剧里最浪漫最唯美的情节
即使若稀狠下心来与他决别
八爷始终是那一位风度翩翩，在远处默默护她帮她，不让她受委屈的人~~

八爷是温柔的
四爷是深情的
既然是一个爱情故事，就难免把角色的情感都放大，也把雍正人性化许多了
更钦佩的是作者把这些唯美的故事穿插在真实的清朝时代的历史里
把原本虚幻的爱情故事弄得较为真实
看着剧情，才发现历史里真的有这么多真实之时
九王夺嫡，八爷献海东狮，雍正对兄弟们的残忍
真的很有趣！好像把历史重现在眼前一样（若稀的故事除外）

震撼一时的九王夺嫡，雍正的辉煌时代
可都奈何不了时间的无常
即使万般不舍
仍需面对那生离死别
最后就好像一场好长的梦
发生的故事 变成了片片的回忆
岁月匆匆而去
现在只剩历史让世人去回味了。
