很想你

你在哪里?这些年来如意不如意
还快乐?还单纯?还美丽
时光如何对你

我在这里人海中的一座岛屿
很平静风平浪静
只除了深夜里回忆会疯狂来袭

我很想你你知道吗
如果可以就让我再见你
美好微笑清澈眼睛
好确定那持离只毁了我一个而已

我很想你听见了吗? Woo~
这是唯一我无解的困境
那些过去不肯过去
不管我后来遇见多少人
只能叹息
都不是你

我只想爱你
我在哪里?你会不会偶尔好奇
有没有曾经怀疑
我说我会忘记只是种好意

Two sides of a coin.

I took a train home today. At this particular stop, one man wearing a plain shirt and faded jeans with a tattoo below his right elbow walked in, moved towards my direction, and sat next to me. I was engrossed in my FM radio when I thought I heard someone calling me. Taking off one earpiece, I turned to this man and he started to talk to me in Chinese which goes along this line. He had this desperate look in his eyes. 'Hi, I just got retrenched last week and I have a son and a wife who is pregnant (points to a direction where a man is standing). I have no money to buy milk and diapers for my baby. Do you have money to spare me?' Well, my first thought was 'What the hell.. You conman, cant even act convincingly.' I tried to be as polite as possible, stating that I do not have much to spare. At least I was not lying to him. I only had seven bucks with me. He stared coldly at me for a while before glancing away. Although he emits this scary aura, I did not change seat as my ego forbade me to. I tried to act nonchalant and composed, plugging my earpiece back at the same time.

A few stops later, he got up and walked off. As he was walking out of the station door, he looked lost and depressed. He trudged his feet along the ground and it seemed that he had a lot on his mind. What if he had really lost his job? What if he is being driven to desperation? What if (fill in the blank). My point is, if he really needs help, will anyone help him? However, I feel that all is not lost. At least he sees hope in others by asking for help. He is hopeful and not hopeless.

Although there are conmen trying to cheat people everyday, the victims should also reflect on why they are being conned. A case of greed perhaps?

There are always, and always will be, two sides to a coin.

Money is often the root of all evil. The root develops into a tree, spreading its branches and growing bigger by the day. The truth is, it just takes an axe to destroy it. When people learn their lesson, they will realize that money is not everything.

Still we need money. Being hardworking might bring you good grades, but good grades are nothing without money. You cannot get into the school you desire without paying the fees. The same goes for food. Food does not satisfy our hunger, money does. What do we buy food with? Its ironic that we spend money to satisfy our hunger, yet we spend money to slim down. In the first place, why would people spend so much to binge on food then? Stupid fools.

I thought I had everything planned. I did my research, got all the information I need, assuming that my path is laid out perfectly. But it was not to be. I was bombshell-ed. I do not want the whole tree, I do not want the branch. I do not even want the root. I just need the seeds. Is it that difficult? I am a true believer of doing things that I like and chasing my passion. I do not want a case of '"what might have been" or "I should have" scenario in the future. I always tell my friends to go for what they want, even though they are unsure of where it might bring them. But heck, at least they will not have any regrets and most importantly, they tried.

Sometimes, you cant help but envy others. In this realistic world, money makes the world go round. The rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. The gap widens and inequality exists. This is a fact we cannot change. What can I do now? I do not want to be a quitter.

My dear,

Its not your fault that things did not work out. Things happen for a reason, and I believe that there will be someone out there who will appreciate you much more. Although I know that whatever I say now may seem redundant to you, I hope that you will pull yourself together because all of us love you. Below are 2 previous posts dedicated to you. Hope that
you can take heart from them. Cheer up!

1. Here is something to share with you guys. An excerpt from a Nicholas Sparks novel, "Nights in Rodanthe". This was an advice given by the mum to her daughter when she lost her husband.

"You are stronger than you think you are, but only if you want to be. It is not easy, but you must understand that I am not talking about your emotions. Those you cant control. You are still going to cry, you are still going to have moments when you dont feel you can go on. But you have to act as if you can. At a time like this, actions are just about the only things you can control.

2. Everyone must learn to detach themselves from their experience. Do not cling on to things, because everything is impermanent.Everyone talks about experiencing life, all the good emotions and the bad ones. Taking in and keeping the memories you love and still do. And you may wonder, how do you do that if you are detached? Well, detachment does not mean you do not let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. That is how you are able to leave it. Take any emotion such as love for someone, or grief for a loved one, or fear and pain from a deadly illness. If you hold back on the emotions and do not allow yourself to go through them, you can never be detached. You are too busy being afraid. You are afraid of the pain, you are afraid of the grief. You are afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and complete. You know what pain is, you know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say, "All right, I have experienced that emotion. I recognize that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment." When you learn how to lose, you learn how to gain.
