listen to the lyrics. find this quite inspiring.

It took a question from a colleague to put things into perspective.

Were you close with him?

The spoken answer on the spot might be more accurate than what I can come up with in thoughts.

“I lived with my grandparents all the way till after enlistment.”

That was how long I was under their care. From when my grandparents’ place was like a childcare centre (many cousins living there) till being the only grandson still living with them, and created trouble on a daily basis. Grandpa used to buy a whole pack of yakult for us as its good for digestion and on very few occasions even got us toy guns that shoots rubber plugs. Had to buy a few sets to prevent my cousins and me from fighting over the toys. those police sets that came with police badges and handcuffs. I guess that was how he showed his love for us.

Grandpa’s condition deteriorated so quickly in just a span of 1 month. He was really suffering during the last few days. It was so hard for all of us just to watch. It all happened so suddenly.

Seriously. Don’t smoke.

fate? destiny?

i just wish mother and grandmother better..

“Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche

the happiest sad song i’ve heard.

being too emo these days.

too much has happened over too short a period of time. maybe it was happening all the time, just that i was unaware of it.

was the stupidest moron and made a friend suffer as a result. i am so sorry..

今天不知明天事。 我需要更懂事。

i need to believe. surround myself with happy songs.

just realised the song “Thank You” by Dido has such beautiful lyrics.

生命好脆弱。

i held an old lady’s hand today. in the grand scheme of things, it’s such an insignificant act.

the hospital, where we are “repaired.”

it’s interesting, the nurse uniform. Light blue pants and a white top with cute cartoon characters. No doubt designed to ease children’s minds? a good way to settle patients down in an unfamiliar environment.

it’s depressing, the waiting room. no idea how long the wait will be. everyone having their own way of passing the time; some read magazines, some nap, some just stare into space. the tv is on with no sound. the silence is conducive to imagine all sorts of things that can go wrong. easier to let the minds of patients’ relatives already anxious mind run wild.

heard on 97.2fm on a bus while making my way home:

我能想到最浪漫的事
就是和你一起慢慢变老
一路上收藏点点滴滴的欢笑
留到以后坐着摇椅慢慢聊

我好像还是最喜欢自由。

The sentences have always lingered in my mind

And now, more than ever, do i agree with the words you said.

有没有那么一首歌 会让你很想念?
有没有那么一首歌 你会假装听不见?
听了又掉眼泪 却按不下停止键
多少的夜就这样 开着灯到另一个夜
我们之间有多少故事 在这首歌的里面
人不在就让这首歌 在回忆也还在

就讓這首歌 – 張震嶽

 

 

给你全世界

但不让你睡觉

你一定举手投降

宁愿为一宵的安眠放弃荣华富贵。

 

 

今天太累了。 累到什么也不想看,什么都不想听到。

It’s been one year.

fate is having a joke on me again.

i’m lending my brother my old hp as he cant bring camera phones to his workplace. as such i’m deleting all the old smses i’ve held dear for so long.

the birthday wishes
the jokes
the smses from you i’ll never be getting again.

 

Is this what you really want?
