Lift a Finger

The one in front is the hero. She takes all the lime light. The "unsung hero" is my mom in the grey shirt in the back ground providing emotional support for the aborigine who suffered a great loss in the flood. 

In normal day life, everyone can be a hero. You just need to see inside yourself. Find the heart to love. Love the people around you. Pity those unfortunates. Help the one in needs. Help a visually impaired cross a road, put food for the less fortunate, take care of stray dogs. A small step goes a long way to make this world a better place. 

Happiness, Found!

You are my sun

Nothing can hide my elated mood. Nothing can put away the smile on my face. Absolutely nothing can make me feel less of you, every single day.

Before this, I always have hesitations. Second thoughts. What-ifs. Buts. Negative in everything I do. Skeptical about our future. Now things have changed. After I have your hand that day, things are different now.

I am more positive. Felt everything is possible. Give my very best in everything. Felt like protecting you every moment. Love just about everything about you; your freckle on the right cheek, the naevus on the right nose. The way you hum your little tunes when you talk. Everything felt so right. Even our hand felt so apt together.

This is the power of love. And it strengthen the bond between us. So strong...

眼泪与累

最近一直被一些事打扰，做事也不起劲，凡事都欠东风。也许是筹备过程中遇上了不少坎坷路，也许是在适应新生活，况且身在远方的我无法控制局面，让不愉快的事发生了。偶尔在夜深人静的时候就会开始胡思乱想。

所有爱情，都要到开花结果的阶段吗？ 一定要共度一生吗？一定要白头到老吗？会不会厮守一生吗？偶尔勉强带来很多不愉快的事，更糟的是，把两个人给疏远了。到头来，忘了要的是什么，渴望什么，追求什么，恨什么！

两个人要一生相守，不止在于你和我，还有很多新旧成员，有父母，兄弟，舅弟，公公婆婆，姨妈姑姐，还有他的狗。怎能只有我和你？如果往好的方面去想，家庭成员大了，凡事都有人关照；往坏的方面去想呢，就会觉得多人来烦，打扰私生活。

想到这里，一声叹气。眼泪也开始流下。了解不代表看开，爱情不是一切。有时吵架，心情低落，身心疲惫。一个字，累！

爱情不可以容纳后悔， 若有一丝的悔意，就会带来麻烦。

可是。。。

Make It Count

In measuring a person's life, how old is old? How young is young? When is the ripe old age? When is dying young?

The irony is Death pays us a visit at any time. There is no fixed schedule. You may have plans in life but the ultimate plan is seldom revealed.

If I die young, I would wish that I lived. Every single day is a rich and meaningful day. Every day has a purpose. I wouldn't want to fret on the past, or worry about the future. I would enjoy my present moment.

I would thank my parent, and return their good deed of raising me. I would tell my loved one how much I loved her, and I would tell my kids to live their life without regrets. I would ring up my friends and ask them how they are. Alas! There are so much things to do when you live.

If you know Death comes anytime, appreciate your life now. Make it count. Make a present. Make it meaningful. Make it rich. Make it worthwhile. Make it the fullest you can be.

The Painted Window

I was on a walking tour in Ho Chi Minh City. There was this very tall pair of stipples standing in the park of the town. Out of curiousity, I entered the church. I discovered this pair of painted glass on the side wall.

It tells a story. I do not know what the story is about, but I believe during war times, people seek refugee in this church. When the world is full of chaos out there, this place will bring them some peace and shelters. Many had carved words onto the walls, saying their prayers.

We live in a world of chaos, where brothers and sisters fights; the society fights; the government fights; and the nation fights! On the other hand, some had inner war, where there are conflicts of thoughts. All these will bring to unhappiness to us.

Hope you finds your inner peace tonight.

夜深人静

又是失眠夜，翻来覆去都无法入眠。一个人躺在双人床，总觉得缺少了一些。

感觉无比强烈，一份思念，一份爱恋和一份渴望，全都交接在一起。如何入眠？

时间和距离逐渐拉近，心和心就此零距离。希望遥远的她能够感应。
