许愿

试试看
把你的愿望写在气球上
用你的舌尖触碰嘴巴内顶端“味觉”的部位
心理想着你写在气球上的愿望
诚心地把气球释放到空中

相信吗？
你将能实现你的愿望

我试了
暂时还不知道灵不灵验

许了什么愿… …
世界和平？
经济好转？

我希望
曾经爱过的你
幸福. 快乐

我希望
深深爱着的你. 和我
一直走到最后

当然前提是
世界要和平
经济要好转

但愿如此… …

 

Big Girl’s Birthday

When I was a child, I always looked forward to my birthday as every year I wished that my parents would throw a party for me. Thinking back, I had a few, most held at home and one at Burger King (I was some BK Club member then, haha!) There were relatives, friends, birthday cake, birthday song, presents… Wonderful things that a child would wish for on this special day.

When I grew up, my close friends will laugh at me, saying that my birthday is like some national day where celebration lasts for a week. Well, that’s because I prefer gathering in small groups, so there will be my family, secondary, JC, poly and Uni friends, colleagues, ex-colleagues etc. Ya so maybe not a week lah, just few separate occasions where lovely folks celebrate my birthday with me.

However, things are getting a little different now, or rather my idea of birthday. I don’t really make birthday wish anymore, somehow lost the “magical feeling” for it along the years. I’m just simply happy that loved ones bother to remember this day, spend a precious effort to send their wishes to me and especially touched when friends overseas spent those extra dollars calling me, wishing me and catching up.

And it was really heart-warming that a friend working in Shanghai, Liping sent me a birthday card. Gosh, I was like, “Shanghai stamps! Birthday card! Handwritten!” I was truly touched. The best gift I received this year is a handmade photo box, beautifully decorated, and with a pair of pretty earrings stuck on it. I love it.

Dear family and friends:
For all the birthday wishes, presents, sweet thoughts and love, THANK YOU.

My Birthday 2009.

060609 at Night Safari.

 

You are my GIFT.

She’s definitely not one of my favourite singers, but this song of hers really attracted me, and I must say I’m impressed that she wrote this song.

如果你深深爱过，如果你真心爱着，
如果你怀着最美好的思念，如果你是有情人，
我想和你分享这首好歌… …

礼物

演唱：梁咏琪
作曲：梁咏琪 填词：梁咏琪

女人都渴望归属
可是热情怎样保持温度
眼泪是快乐的附属
却又让我驯服

终于一天看清楚
能够爱过痛过也算幸福
这一路的旅途风光明媚
还是绝路
都是昨天笑忘书

每个人都有一份礼物
就是为另外一个人付出
没经历过挥之不去的痛苦
不懂珍惜手中的礼物

每个熟悉的哀乐喜怒
藏在心里最温暖的深处
王子公主谁能逃得过痛苦
能够勇敢爱下去是最好的礼物

今天我已经领悟
今天就是礼物

 

看看就好

I’m not the super superstitious sort, but I enjoy reading horoscope and Chinese zodiac analysis. Just want to share this with my fellow “rooster buddies”:

   Chicken people had a better luck than most of people last year. The best parts were in career and wealth area. The good luck of Chicken people will continue to carry over in 2009, year of Cow. Since the foundation of previous preparations, Chicken people can manage their tasks with half the efforts and yield twice the result. However, more Unlucky Stars gathering in 2009, Chicken people will face more blockages and troubles than 2008. Chicken people have to do more analysis in advance, carefully plan their approaches, watch their progress, prepare for unexpected obstacles, if they want to meet their expectations as 2008.

Career: There are two strong Lucky Career Stars appearing in 2009. The signs indicate your have steady career luck. You have potential in your career performance or business development. That means you have a chance to gain more power, responsibilities and even get a job promotion. So you can plan for your strategy to push your goal and deliver an outstanding achievement. Then your reputation will help you to create the career opportunity. However, there are some tiny Unlucky Stars coming in the same time. Therefore, someone might appear to question your plan, weaken your judgment and block your performance. You must handle all the issues with caution to avoid moving your plan to the wrong direction, otherwise you will lose your career opportunity.

Money: Since your career luck is good. There is a chance of job promotion. There also is a Lucky Money Star showing in this year. That means not only your job performance brings your more money, also your money investment will increase your wealth. In short, you will have money income from different sources. However, you may like to enjoy your luxury life. Because of your vanity and extravagance, you will spend most of your money and only with a little saving.

Love: Many Chicken people are full of emotion. Their hearts are easily moved with passion when meeting a opposite sex. They are very attentive and considerate to people. Chicken and Cow have the attraction relationship, but there is an Unlucky Star appearing in love area. This sign implies a temptation and misunderstanding between love relationship. If you are a single, then you might have the chance to meet the opposite sex, but you still cannot catch any love relationship in the end. If you are already in love, your relationship will face the challenge. Someone might stir up trouble between you and your lover. If you cannot handle it well, you might lose the relationship. If you are married, the third party might involve your marriage life. You need to carefully manage the situation to save your marriage.

Health: There two Unlucky Stars showing in the health area. The hint of signs is related to bleeding, breaking and accident. Therefore Chicken people need to pay more attention on their safety and health. You need to carefully use danger tools every time. You have to stay alert on the street. You must focus when driving. You should watch any unsafe object around your environment at work and at home to avoid unnecessary accident caused by neglect.

Fortune: Basically, Chicken people have good luck in 2009, year of Cow. The main reason is the Chicken and Cow have the attraction relationship. They only have poor luck in health. The love relationship is fair. But the career luck and money luck are pretty good while comparing with others. The best part is the money opportunity. As long as you don’t spend too much, your wealth will increase a lot. As for love, you need to spend more time with your partner with frank and sincere attitude to stop misunderstanding caused by others. In health, you should make sure you have enough time to rest and watch for your safety at home and outside.

Of course I wish that 坏的不灵，好的灵 *keeping fingers crossed*. If you want to know your zodiac analysis, log on to http://www.chineseastrologyonline.com/2009.htm

HAPPY YEAR OF OX!

 

快乐的活着

这些日子以来的 “飘浮不定”
终于要告一段落了。
不免走了点 “冤枉路”，不免有点遗憾事，
但过程中得到的收获还是比较多的。
心态很重要，
我一直怀着一颗炙热的心，
积极面对人生前方的路，
不论有多累。
而我现在的心，像是从广阔的蓝天，
娓娓降落到温暖的土地上，
有种脚踏实地的安全感。
应该就是要这样，安稳的活着，
快乐的活着。

 

Love-Hate relationships

I hate to be ill, to be more accurate, I hate the feeling of being ill.

Since Saturday night when I was feverish and fluish, my body immune system seems to turn cranky. Sudden sharp pain in my throat, phelgm with blood and then it was shortage of breath… Ahhh~ my worst nightmare since young: ASTHMA attack!!!

Though I’ve learnt to take it easy over these 20 over years, the devil A does not freak me out anymore, in fact I’m pretty cool about it, but I hate the idea of using the inhaler and taking asthma medication because they contain steroids, and there are sayings that this will lead to weight gain.

OMGosh! Did I just say weight GAIN??!!

My doctor tried to explain to me that the weight gain problem will only occur if I’m on long term medication. *Phew* I hope she was not only trying to comfort the hysterical me.

My poor sister is also suffering from serious asthma attack, which started off with a cough followed by a very bad cough… She’s hospitalised now, but I think it’s a blessing in disguise as she can really get more quality rest while her health condition is being looked after by the medical professionals.

When I pop them into my mouth, I try to sing a lovely tune in my mind~
But in my heart, I hate them! *pui*

Yesterday my friend sent me some funny comic strips, and I find this one especially hilarious, or maybe because somehow I felt an affinity with this situation. Hmm… …

Recently, Hong Kong star Sammi Cheng said in an interview that she hopes to find a man who truly loves her, even as much when she’s makeup-less.
Well said! I thought.

 

幸福的风

你愿意用多长的时间等待爱情?
一个小时? 一个星期? 一个月?
真没耐性。
一年? 一个世纪? 一辈子?
真的吗?

或许你现在没有答案，不过当你遇上真爱，
你就能体会
一切等待，都是值得的。

幸福的风
唱：杨宗纬
词：陶晶莹 / 曲：谢布暐

 

以为我永远只能一个人生活 
孤单的快乐哀愁 
偶尔可以伪装潇洒自由 
心里慌乱起来自己喝酒 

 

以为你只是一个美丽的偶然 
吹淋我不经意降落 
谁知道你不同 
谁知道你不走 
拥抱著我说终于找到了我 

 

你看穿我的冷漠 
亲吻我的奋勇 
不在乎我曾经的错 
如果不是你的款款温柔 
还以为真爱只是一个传说 

请相信我的承诺 
虽然有点笨拙 
但我看见幸福的风 
如果我把我的手放在背后 
愿不愿意牵著一起走 
(愿不愿意牵著到最后)

 

我想… …

(artwork showcased along the underpass to Esplanade)

“对不起，我迟到了。”
赴约迟到可能可以道歉了事
但是人生当中，有些东西错过了
或许永远都追不回来
所以我们决定珍惜 . 把握
虽然不能天天见面
虽然隔着一段距离
虽然时间好像有点漫长
不过我们都拿出了勇气
爱 . 本来就需要勇气
活着就是一种勇气
原来思念也能很幸福
幸福是什么？
幸福是无论你在哪里
只要一想到你
嘴角不禁微笑
有点傻，可是我不管
而心是酸酸、甜甜的… …

 

Say I Love You

Last night, my sister showed me a bookmark excitedly, and my first reaction was like: Leon Lai bookmark? What the… And some more it’s Leon Lai with a retro centre parting “fountain hair”!!! GAWD~ Then, I took a closer look, there’s actually a note written on the bookmark that says something like this:

Dearest sister Lin, Good luck for your O-levels. All the best! Love, Ying. 09/1992

That was a good luck gift I gave my sister almost 16 years ago… … Wow suddenly my Maths is good! Which means I was 1* years old then, O-levels sounds like some history to me, not to mention for my sister. Ok enough about this age and growing old issue. And by the way, why Leon Lai? Becos he was her idol then. Duh, I never fancied Mr Lai Meng.

Anyway, what touches my heart is that for all these many many years, my sister & I have been sharing a close and supportive relationship, which we never take for granted.

I believe that we should never take anything for granted, especially towards your loved ones. Sometimes, you don’t have to find a reason to give a hug, whip up a simple meal or just say “I love you” to your loved ones. Happiness can just be as simple as that.

Glad we’ve been putting up with each other’s crap all these while… Heh.
Sister, I LOVE U.
