我想起 ,有天梦到了自己突然就出现在钢琴考试的现场,可是发现琴谱根本没练好,一点都不熟悉,必须硬着头皮上场,结果整个梦就是在后悔。这是干嘛?考钢琴都几百年前了。
很多年以后,依然清晰记得那考场。酒店的大堂很明亮,踏在大理石上的鞋发出清脆的声响,咯、咯、咯地踏进了升降机。从上头飘来的悠悠古典音乐里掺杂着酒店独有的气味,心情跟着七上八下。地毯使得周围有点安静,又有点声音,心情和现实都很muffled。到达了考试的房间,还得担心如果听不懂外国人考官说什么该怎么办?
总之,经历了八次,那酒店地毯升降机悄悄地成了阴影。多年以后,我依然时不时会梦见自己突然就站在那关着外国人考官的房间前。梦里不是紧张自己没练琴,就是迟了大到,或是完全忘了有考试这回事,隔天才惊吓地想起。荒谬得很。现实中,我没有真的考砸过,也没有迟到过,也不可能忘记过。所以,十年后还梦见自己一直迟到忘记fail了这钢琴考试是怎样?
我想,那是因为我知道,我也没有全力以赴过。
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken.
A light from the shadow shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Catch-up with life with me
What's up with life? Life is back! Long-post is back!
Jigsaw puzzle
End of the year means jigsaw time. Still remains my favourite hobby. Finally get to try Ravensburger from Germany. The puzzle is "The Bizarre Bookshop 2", I have another 500-piece puzzle by the same artist titled "The Pantry" which is equally whimsical.
The Stone Cage
Been eyeing this out-of-print book since I read it three years ago, but the price offered on the internet is ridiculous (ranging from $250 to $290, is that not crazy or what?). This proves that this is indeed a rare book. I always dream that my uni library would one day present me the book when it is not wanted anymore, since I am the only one who would borrow it every year when I am here and keep it for the entire year (no joke). How much do I like this book? I even started to scan my library copy 'cause I thought I would never get my hands on the book (unless kena toto).
But I still had my hopes up. I subscribed for notifications of this book at eBay, and finally saw it
offered at the starting price of $14. That is like what, 20 times cheaper than its usual secondhand price. It felt like the one and only chance I could get hold of it. What's best, the item was in Australia. Initially I hesitated as
the shipping was not free but it's
reasonable (postage here is rather expensive). I decided to close my eyes and bade on the book for $16. Luckily the first bidder
couldn't care to compete with me, so I won my first bid on eBay. Hooraaah! The book smells ancient xD. It is just a strike of luck when I picked it up from the library three years ago, after I saw a silhouette of a cat on the book's spine. Lol. I will be missing my library a lot.
My old but very trusty friend Nokia 6600 died because it was drowned in water overnight. I was a careless fool. So I was without a phone for 3 months since August. It didn't make a difference in my life except that I could not call home. I hope not many people tried to call me. I lost all contact numbers and could only remember my family's. I remember telling myself I'd use my phone for at least 5 years before changing to a new phone. 2014 is the fifth year. :S
So I started to hunt for a new phone. I want it small, not pricey, don't care about brands as long as the specs are sufficient. I landed myself this. It turns out to be bigger than what I wanted, but for the price of $330 you get 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, 5MP front camera and 13MP primary camera. I like the design too (don't like it when the camera lens is in the upper middle position of the phone).
The in-between: of honeymoon and reality (suck-ish level depends on what country you are in)
So far I spend most of my life studying (count from 6 years old), I was thinking when my student life ends I really am not that young anymore. It feels like...wt hell. Do I feel I wasted my time? I only feel that because I am not passionate about what I am studying. I feel alright about it, sometimes I like it, but I do think from time to time it does not hold significant meaning in my life. But I am at the end of the journey, so I just need to suck it up. Or, I should give myself more credits. I tend to downplay my effort in everything I do.
I have been trying to play down negative thoughts in my mind recently. To be honest, once you throw away negativity in life, you will realise there are so many things you can do apart from being frustrated by things you don't have direct control. I am angry from time to time by the political and social situations in the country which makes me despise the country more and more. But, that's not good. It's so easy to give in to negativity, when in fact I can be much more than that. I distant myself from news as the medias do love to propagate negative news nowadays, and voila life is so much better. Get off the internet is the best way to realise you are free to enjoy life. First-world problem. It's not that I try to run away from the reality (we know too much to be ignorant), but one needs to be positive in the first place and then show them what stupid fools they are.

The game
November and December have always been my favourite months. I am just in a constant pleasant mood throughout. Also, it means another Mystery Case File game. Woohoo. A fan since secondary school.
Still loving my escape-the-room games and hidden object games. I am quite a surprisingly loyal person (lol). |
The music
Still liking Flower.

Let go again
One last thing
I still have one last thing to do and my life as a university student will finally come to an end. I will be missing it I am sure, and this city in which I spend 1/5 of my life. It's a great city, a place where your life can be productive as you are not bound by unnecessary frustration and discrimination. People are educated, unlike my countrymen who spit out stupid things all the time. Sigh, too bad my nostalgia and responsibility get the better of me (a good thing in some ways I suppose). But what holds for the future no one knows.
Note of the day
Just got the feedback for my essay (tutor is as efficient as ever). Due to time constraint and me being too distracted by other uni subject, I could not produce an essay which I was confident to hand in, but I handed in on time anyway. When I handed it in I felt like I wanted to bury my head somewhere. Just thinking about the essay somehow made me embarassed, as I didn't think I was succesful in delivering a coherent and solid analysis. In my head, the worst case scenario is to re-submit. When I saw the feedback e-mail today my heart skipped a beat. Didn't want to read it but needed to read it.
There goes the biggest surprise of November. The feedback is surprisingly very positive. I began to worry if that was a mistake the moment I read it. Like, are you sure about this my tutor? You SURE? My pessimistic nature. I hope it isn't a mistake, please. Yeah, I should credit myself more for the effort I put in, I think. I did do a lot of research, after all.
Pleasant Friday.

6.19 AM
I wish there is a pill that can make me fall asleep in three seconds.
Nobita has that ability naturally, I am jealous of him.
Sleeping is always a problem for me, waking up is not.
99% of the time I can wake up when the alarm rings.
It takes me so long to fall asleep, which is a waste of time.
If I plan to sleep for an hour, basically I have to time it out like this:
An hour just to fall asleep, another hour for sleeping, that means my sleeping takes two hours.
Sometimes, even after two hours I cannot fall asleep. Even after three hours. Not sometimes, actually.
If I can sleep in three seconds, that means I can sleep whenever I want, wake up whenever I want.
Then I can start to do whatever I want to do. Life in this little room is so boring and depressed at times, I have to take a break frequently. My breaks are basically taking a shower, going to the kitchen for something or sleeping. But sleeping takes so much time, so I take showers frequently.
So it's 6.32 AM now. Sunrise was around 5 AM I guess? I don't want the sun to rise.
Birds always start chirping at 3.15 AM, which is annoying.
Sleeplessness can do so many things to your brain.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After my morning grumble, 2 hours later I fell asleep, and missed half of my class.
What is wrong with me? Luckily it's spring break starting from today.
I have to do a timetable and catch up with my study.
Have been reading Deleuze and Guattari for a Theory subject, still not a clue where the direction of my essay is heading to. Deleuze and Guattari, arghargharghargh. I guess only after many, many reads of philosophers' writings only can I be accustomed to their ways of laying things out, sometimes I don't know what are they talking about, although I perfectly understand each word and the whole sentence. But don't 'get' it. Are you talking about literal things, or are you talking about something that can be applied to every thing?
Sometimes translation matters, a lot. Was reading one English translation of 'The Republic' by Plato, oh man, I had to read so many times even though it was just a few sentences that I was reading. Then I gave up. Then I went and borrowed the Penguin Book version. Hooray! Suddenly 'The Republic' became so easy to read. Wth. I do wonder from time to time, whether literal translation is more important or intelligible translation is what matters most.
Anyway, I need to tackle D&G (or whatever they are talking about) as soon as possible.

飘荡。
似乎,一年里面,大半时间心都处于那正与负空间的微妙中间。
没有特别自信的时候,没有特别颓废的时候。
可是,每次开学的时候,思想心情的指针是偏向负的。 还没真正开始,就颓废了。
一直告诉自己,要珍惜现在,时间不留人。可是这原来不是问题。
问题是自己的时间似乎在某些时候就一直停滞,没有再上前。时间观念也出了差错,浮浮沉沉的。
不像以前那般积极,兴趣也似乎一件一件地遗失了,残存的只是想象中的热忱 ,说服自己有一些东西还是留在原地的,可以回去再捡起来。牛角尖,一直钻啊钻。真的觉得自己在某些方面困住了钻不出去。
还是,其实大家都如此吗?所以大家都喜欢旅行啊之类的吧。旅行会让人产生错觉,觉得自己毫无压力也可过得很充实,所以才往往让人回味无穷。现在觉得这种感觉真的很危险。
还是,见闻不广,身在福中不知福,所以习惯把一点小事放大几千倍来观察?习惯了一个人,真的不太好。由于很多事情都必须自己解决,有什么事情都会觉得说出来有什么用,到最后还不是得自己解决。其实解决事情事小,心里慢慢失去平衡才是大事。
距离上一次有明确目标的时候,已经是八年前的事情。那时候的目标很简单,就是考好重要的试。然后,事情好像也很顺利,应该也没什么好埋怨的。只是,内心从此没有充实过,失望的事情一大堆。
我想,在这里没有归属感才是最大原因吧。希望,有一些东西,还是留在原地的。

Surviving
Last Friday, I went to a refugee art exhibition with my friend.
She is doing an architectural project related to refugees.
It was a small exhibition, yet big, on many levels.
Standing there, hearing first-hand experience from a girl about her life as a victim of persecution in her own country, as a refugee in this nation, what this nation means to her, and what art means to her, is inspiring. It is a life that we will never fully comprehend, as we always live in a peaceful environment.
Those conflicts that we thought are big in our country, are so small compared to theirs.
However, we should not take conflicts lightly, as they can grow; as they grow, they can end up very wrongly. If only everybody could be more reflective on what they do. Really, what they do, on many, many levels; not just one, not just on the surface. But, with ego that comes with every body, it is just not easy to achieve. We like to think we are pretty humble. But I think, what we are born with, what we are born into, only allows a certain extent of humility, it cannot go further than that, unless we switch place with people who really are underprivileged.

One of the others simply read:
50 months in detention.
Don't be fooled by hopeful words, yet, we can't help ourselves.
I should always remind myself, remind myself.

又
年末
开始了。
一年过一年,
如果还是一如既往,
该庆幸,抑或该反省?
最重要的,是只要身边的人安康,一切便好。
今年让人伤心的事,已经过了好几个月。
一分一秒慢慢地过,还无法弥补心中的惆怅。遗憾是漫长的。
我也想要相信,人比自己以为的还要坚强。
今年让人开心的事,让十二月弥漫着正能量。
即将发生的事,也让人期待。
对我来说嘛让人期待的事只限于玩乐兼无所事事。
(噢,看来我还是一如既往啊……)
谁不喜欢心情放松的时刻呢?
反正明年又是睡眠被剥夺的一年啊,有得当懒人就当到底吧。
Alone again, wonderful world.
原来是伤心的歌。◔◔
吃喝玩乐开始!

Woof woof! Roof roof!
Wanna be at home where everything is within reach.
Want to play the piano when listening to music.
Thinking of Poppy, did he realise I am gone? 9_9.
I always think though he is a dog, he has the attitude of a cat.
He always pretend to not hear you when you call him. In fact, he never responded when my dad or I called him, except when it was time to eat. In fact, even cats would respond. If he is at the backyard and you call him, he will not turn up with wiggling tail. He is probably lying on the stone table and attentively looking out the backgate. Your call is secondary to his business.
I stood on the balcony one night and called his name like a ghost to see whether he can actually hear. Nah we all know he can, since he likes to bark whenever he hears strangers' vehicles (damn scary when he barks seriously). He has the ability to differentiate the noise of family's vehicles from strangers'. Mr. Postman is terrified to pass by our house if our gate is not shut.
Maybe he knows that Poppy is such a "marketplace" name he chooses to ignore. Actually we rarely give special names to our dogs. He might already be Poppy Junior the Third. Oppps. We had Blacky, Jacky, Bobby, Pop, Poppy, Bob before (maybe 'Puppy' too?). Dido and Nini were the two with more special names. Eheh. There was one whose name was Andy Lala (lolol), but I am not sure whether it was our dog or our relatives'. This really is childhood memory.

Out from...
正在寻找关于memory的图。虽然是作业,但找着找着,看着看着突然感触了起来。
记忆吗。尤其那些Sepia色调的图,最能拨动那根回忆的弦。单调的色调,会让人觉得,时间真的是回不去的了。刚才看了这组摄影Abandon Memory , 让我想起了爸爸的家乡。曾几何时农历新年都会回去,但在某年突然中断了。当中原因似乎有点复杂,但我最好奇的是,为什么我当时都不觉得奇怪?为什么现在才觉得奇怪?这不是很怪吗?
我突然好想看一看那间屋子。本住在那儿的大伯好久以前也搬离了那儿,年老了不好一个人住吧。好多年没见,记得同姐姐说要去探望他,但……却也见不到了。我又想起了四叔公。他来探望我们的时候还历历在目,但,那也是好多年以前了。
曾经住过kampung式的屋子的我们,一定会记得那个好像处处都是陷阱的树林(我尤其害怕有哪条蛇会钻出来咬我一口),那条必须经过那树林才到达的河流,那些不知从哪儿掉下来的橡胶种子们,与一地枯叶为伍。有一个我一直都记不起名字的果实,有点像jambu的那种,但却长了一颗豆。
树林、河流、橡胶果、鸡。
好像是有钱的人的大房子、好像是比较没钱的人的小房子、不知去哪的一条大路。
在那kampung认识的朋友们,已记不起究竟我们是用福建话还是华语沟通,只记得他们的华语有很重的福建口音。有一位朋友要说“我的头发很长”,说成“我的头很长”,我记得我笑死了。我们找她们玩耍,而哥哥找她们的哥哥玩耍。依然记得这两个哥哥走上了那“不知去哪的一条大路”,结果被一窝蜜蜂攻击跑着回来。凄惨哪~
我以前会用塑胶袋捉蜻蜓,捉了后再放 (姐姐是共犯),还非常喜欢爬树咧。现在要把迷路的蜻蜓赶出房门我都像在打仗般(蝴蝶请离我远一点)。 树,不知何时已变成了提供氧气,美化家园,好像永远矗立在家门前的一种存在。
下次,一定要去看一看啊。
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
想起了中学时候喜欢听的歌。那些歌中 念对白式的唱法,不知怎的非常有味道,虽然有时歌词让人摸不着头脑。
尤其《Endless Rain》, 尤其 《Tears》, 还有Glay的《Rain》,LS《Forever and ever》……
Laying down outside
With a painfilled heart
Daybreak, gazing at the sky
The star shining, holds my memory
Apart, yet under the same sky
I can see your light
But, why can't my heart reach you
Why can't my love be with you
You just shine my solitary heart
Without saying anything
I embrace your light and memory <—— 就是喜欢那奇怪的语法啦。
《Forever and ever》
Out from my chaos to grace
气势磅礴得不得了。
Memory, you never let me cry
and you

Days of joy
Days of sadness
slowly pass me by
As I try to hold you
you were vanishing before me
You were just an illusion
When I am awakened
my tears have dried in the sand of sleep
I am a rose
blooming in the desert.
If you could have told me everything
You would have found what love is
If you could have told me what was on your mind
I would have shown you the way
Someday I'm gonna be older than you
I've never thought beyond that time
I've never imagined the pictures of that life
For now I will try to live for you and for me
I will try to live with love, with dreams,
and forever with tears
You would have found what love is
If you could have told me what was on your mind
I would have shown you the way
Someday I'm gonna be older than you
I've never thought beyond that time
I've never imagined the pictures of that life
For now I will try to live for you and for me
I will try to live with love, with dreams,
and forever with tears
Laying down outside
With a painfilled heart
Daybreak, gazing at the sky
The star shining, holds my memory
Apart, yet under the same sky
I can see your light
But, why can't my heart reach you
Why can't my love be with you
You just shine my solitary heart
Without saying anything
I embrace your light and memory <—— 就是喜欢那奇怪的语法啦。
《Forever and ever》
Out from my chaos to grace
气势磅礴得不得了。
Memory, you never let me cry
and you
you never said good-bye

二幺四无关事件
对1102 2011 这个日子竟有点执著。 星期五,在日本叫做 “ きんようび 金曜日”。
有点 惆怅,觉得在这个难得一见的日子啥也没做,连张照片都没。但我的心情可是比庆新年还要隆重。心情而已,行动是没必要。这个日子可是日本建国日、爱迪生的生日。而且,还是今年度重要的日子(几乎可以保证年尾时它一定是“2011年度重要日子Top 3”)—
埃及独裁者的退休日。
本小姐却在家睡觉。连蛋糕都没咬一口。罢~连蛋糕都没。 真是懒洋洋。
生日在二月真的有点尴尬……但看在这也是爱迪生的生日,呵,就自个爽一下。(跟天才沾上边的可悲方法) 但今天忽然想起,咦好像至少在这儿小庆祝了一下。就是说写无关痛痒的事儿。
原来这种日子叫Palindromic Date。 Palindrome,是回文?犹记得曾经热衷于回文诗。其实当时是想找回当年在中学课本读到的回文诗,当时非常惊叹于作者的创意,那是什么功力啊?怪不得往后当我阅读 Angels & Demons 的时候会觉得那设计书中文字的人是天才。
咦好像就是这阕诗耶!

《》 — 书名号,现在被越来越多人滥用。开关引号该用时不用,却用书名号。顾名思义,书名号就是用在书名上嘛,或诗篇或歌曲。还有,有些文章充满了一堆叹号, 却不知作者在感叹什么,看了就让人想揍人。(感叹太多就是这样啦,会让人郁闷得想打人)有些访谈刊登在报上,也被编辑在每个句子后加上!。真的!非常!叫人看得 眼痒痒!
好啦,我也是喜欢胡乱用括号的人之一。原来“括”读作 kuo! 为啥我一直以为是kua。
在此献上非常好的网页—漢典 之标点符号用法简表 http://www.zdic.net/appendix/f3.htm
我想,我也非常适合用破折号,根据漢典,它是“用于话题突然转变”。

寒 春 鬥 艶 梅 邀 雪,
艶 梅 邀 雪 飛 漫 天。

是不?真能陶冶性情呵。 呵。

已是黄昏独自愁,更著风和雨。
无意苦争春,一任群芳妒。
零落成泥碾作尘,只有香如故。

Never
I only feel inspired when I am not working seriously.
How uncool is that? But nevermind.(Nevermind?!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
How uncool is that? But nevermind.(Nevermind?!)

"It's never too early.
It's always too late."
Someone who is no longer in this world wrote this in his journal.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I always delay what I wanna do. A despicable habit. My personality might not be easy-going, but many things regarding myself are treated with light hearts, which isn't necessarily a good thing. 行动有多重要,长越大就越明白。

但愿人长久
多年前看了他的电影,虽不理解故事但被摄影手法牵引着。
那真实的画面让人难以忘记,女优奔跑着穿越时空试图寻找爱人也寻找自己。
曾因为一部动画名字非常悬而买下,最后是逼着自己看完然后埋在柜子里再也很少拿出来。此动画名为《妄想代理人》。
若干年后知道原来啊是他的作品,怪不得。突然觉得我也许收藏了一样好东西,结果又再把它挖了出来看。
去年才开始欣赏他的作品,还在期待他的新作;而今天心血来潮youtube他的名字,迎目却是RIP Satoshi Kon。
前几天的事啊。
今敏的故事,过目不忘,虽然也许看得懵懂。但他们本来就是超现实的现实。

Pu / du
I just knew that the Pudu Prison was demolished, or to be totally demolished, well at least the main gate will be kept.
WHAT?!
I was, shocked
Now, that's very lame.
There are videos on Youtube but I feel reluctant to watch 'cause it's saddening.
I now honestly think.....there are people who are incapable of using their brain to the fullest there.
Look. It is not an eyesore. There are alternatives and you choose to pull it down.
Finally watched the video. The walls were pushed down effortlessly by the bulldozers and they fell like tumbling lego pieces. My heart goes out for you T-T

Those moments
Regarding a SLMoon Video on YouTube
- hulkmeister23 (2 weeks ago)
Why wasn't there ever a Sailor Earth,
I've always wondered about that?
I've always wondered about that?
Regarding iPad
-Will there be an iTampon in the future?
(He's actually sneezing)
My father
- GAaaaah!! WeEEH!(He's actually sneezing)
Ahahahaha I think they are so funny >DDD
(om my eyes are full of tears now)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thus I started searching Sailor Moon (one of those moments, you know).
Moon~ and the uber-cool khinsider
I like some of the music, damn so nostalgic.
The website also has full episodes of SLM.Whoa.

趴趴熊般的假期
看了这张图后,突然很想冲杯咖啡。
趴趴人生。
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This song, "The Invisible Wall" by the Gazette, in my mind all this while, its chorus goes like this:
"Sono menu, sono menu, sono menu, uuyeea~~"
That doesn't make sense.
Then eventually, my curiosity leads me to search for the lyric.
......
"Sorrow made you, sorrow made you...."
Ahahahaha. But it's a nice song.
Also, I was quite convinced that 80% of the lyric are in Jap. I was so wrong =\
Anyway, whatever.

因为现在有这个心情
近来真的变废人了。脑海里想着要出去办事逛街购物,结果还是呆在家。
坏习惯卷土重来,我的白天又被睡掉了,结果不能弹琴。
觉得自己做事总是慢吞吞地,慢功出细货嘛比较像是借口,我总是少了那股冲劲。
说这是因为我的画一直没完成。
最近看 Soul Eater,好好好笑。故事不啰里啰唆,又有独具一格的幽默。
说要在这悠闲长假买些特定的书来看。
结果 ,上次去了书展,根本不记得本来的目的。目不暇给,不记得也怪不得。
哦,倒是买了“尼采文集”。看了几十页,结论是我是个肤浅的人。
上火车前买了一本书,John Sandford 的 Broken Prey, 还停留在64页。
现在都不记得故事了。
老人与海,不知停在第几页。
记得姐姐说对那个华文翻译没信心,哈哈哈。(喂人家是渔夫吃沙丁鱼配饭是没罪的)
也看了 Luna Sea 的 One Night Dejavu ♥
