Dreams are my reality...



早上五點多,天剛亮.

看著房裡的行李,手中算著剩下的天數 1,2,3...

離開這裡竟是如此 不捨

當初 只想著趁早離開英國

如今 一轉眼 也該回去了

會懷念這裡的一切 我走過的英國古老街道

會思念這裡所認識的人 和一起經歷的事

此生 何德何能 讓我再一次的被感動

之餘徐志摩 再別康橋

--再別了 愛丁堡!

輕輕的我走了,

正如我輕輕的來;

我輕輕的招手,

作別西天的雲彩。

那河畔的金柳 是夕陽中的新娘;

波光裡的艷影,

在我的心頭蕩漾。

軟泥上的青荇 油油的在水底招搖:

在康河的柔波裡 我甘心做一條水草!

那榆蔭下的一潭 不是清泉,

是天上虹 揉碎在浮藻間,

沉澱著彩虹似的夢。



尋夢?

撐一支長篙 向青草更青處漫溯,

滿載一船星輝,

在星輝斑爛裡放歌。

但我不能放歌,

悄悄是別離的笙簫;

夏蟲也為我沉默,

沉默是今晚的康橋!



悄悄的我走了,

正如我悄悄的來;

我揮一揮衣袖,

不帶走一片雲彩。

再見了 我的朋友 再見了 Edinburgh...

Nati due volte 重生- Giuseppe Pontiggia



一直覺得這世界一直在變,人也在變,接受了不同新事物新觀念,
變成了不一樣的人,小時候天真可愛的我們,長大了變成了不一樣的大人,
人不斷的在批判世俗,越自由結果變得越放縱,有時為了自尊的維護,不惜大動干戈.

對整個地球來說,人類的存在已經是種威脅!

有人嫌自己不夠美,不夠好,為了讓自己更有自信花了大筆錢去整型,
其實真正的自信不是來自於外在,而是你內心的東西,
花再多的錢買來的美貌與自信,說穿了也是一種殘缺.

常常在想,人沒有這一身軀殼,你還能夠分辨誰是你的Mr. or Ms. Right?
外在的限制,束縛了人類一切,也決定了人類的命運.

重生這本書,讓我很深刻的體會到正視自己缺點的重要性,
去克服並勇於面對殘缺的自己,以謙卑的心接納不同看法並加以Improve Yourself.

殘障之於我們,並非毫不相干之物,它其實是人生的一部份、一個必經的過程。真正跨越障礙的「重生」,不是去逃避、美化或否認殘障,而是去正視並誠實的接納自我的殘缺

人這輩子可以有好幾次重生,出生時,適應並克服行動困難,是種重生;
面對自己殘缺,依靠自己所能給予的,再度重生.

是一個痛苦的「過程」,是漫漫長夜,而非一蹴可幾的單純事件、舉目可見的黎明曙光;這救贖的旅程所仰賴的,是周圍之人無私之愛的奉獻。

Will I Remember?



Saturday night, 6:00pm, chatting with Fred and Ivy about love, future, and departure, I was curious is it just a dream? Admittedly, I losed many things, and bursted out crying in the midnight, there are something valuable I got in Edinburgh. The entire year studying in UK is just like a glimpse of the paradise. Fortunately, I met lots of friends and experienced the most wonderful year here. My Supervisor Markus, Sandra, and Steven, and my beloved classmates, without you, it could be hardly for me to see things in different perspectives and broaden my horizen. You are not only my teachers but also my best friends!

As time passed by, I felt I was quite accustomed to the environment and the people here without any problem. However, when I just started to fall head over heels about the city, there were somethng that forced me to go back home.Fred, don't worry about the accounting exam. You will get through it! Ivy, you are just 24 years old, and you deserve a better man. The time hasn't come yet. I might not be attending the graduation ceremony. This could be the last time that three of us sat together and had a great chat. Who knows?

Come what may, please remember the moment that takes our breath away. Every time when you guys recall the day we got together, you know I'm also thinking about you anytime anywhere!



We never talked about it but I hear the blame was mine
I'd call you up to say I'm sorry,
But I wouldn't want to waste your time
'Cause I love you, but I can't take anymore
There's a look I can't describe in your eyes
If we could try like we tried before
Would you keep on telling me those lies?
Do you remember?

There seemed no way to make up,
'Cause it seemed your mind was set
And the way you looked it told me,
It's a look I know I'll never forget
You could've come over to my side,
You could've let me know
You could've tried to see the distance between us
But it seemed to far for you to go
Do you remember?

Through all of my life,
In spite of all the pain
You know that people are funny sometimes,
'Cause they just can't wait to get hurt again,
Tell me do you remember?

There are things we won't recall,
And feelings we'll never find
It's taken so long to see it,
'Cause we never seemed to have the time
There was always something more important to do,
More important to say
But "I love you" wasn't one of those things,
And now it's too late
Do you remember

George Armani



In his latest film collaboration, Giorgio Armani has brought his signature style to the character of Bruce Wayne in director Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated action drama The Dark Knight.

For the production, Giorgio Armani worked in partnership with acclaimed costume designer Lindy Hemming, who won an Academy Award for her costume designs for Topsy-Turvy.

Giorgio Armani said, “As a Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure client, Bruce Wayne is demonstrating his status as a discriminating and sophisticated connoisseur of fine fashion, while also showing he has individual taste. It is also fitting that I should be dressing a superhero this year, as I am pleased to have chaired the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art’s exhibition, Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy, last May.”

As Batman’s alter ego Bruce Wayne, The Dark Knight star Christian Bale wears Giorgio Armani Hand Made-to-Measure. A still from the film featuring Bruce Wayne in a suit from this collection is the visual for a world-wide Giorgio Armani advertising campaign coinciding with the release of the film. Mr. Wayne’s elegant wardrobe includes single-breasted, three-button suits in a variety of fabrics, single-breasted tuxedos, and black wool coats, each featuring the traditional customized owner’s label—in this case, Giorgio Armani for Bruce Wayne.

Costume designer Lindy Hemming said, “For the character Bruce Wayne, Chris Nolan and I wanted an expensively elegant tailored look, to contrast with his Batman persona. We felt that the Giorgio Armani brand was emblematic of the contemporary classic look that I hoped to create. I think Christian looks edgy and cool, and I feel that their tailoring beautifully realized our vision.”

Giorgio Armani has been on the forefront of creating wardrobes for major motion pictures since he pioneered the movement by dressing Richard Gere in American Gigolo in 1980. Since then, many films have incorporated designs by Armani, including Shaft, Primal Fear, The Untouchables, Gattaca, Stealing Beauty, Double Jeopardy, The Tuxedo, De-Lovely, A Good Year, and Ocean’s Thirteen.

The Dark Knight is a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation, in association with Legendary Pictures, a Syncopy Production, a Christopher Nolan film.

We don't beat the ripper by living longer, but by living well, and fully.

At 10:00 PM



Walking on the George Street, I felt tranquile outside the world and peaceful inside my mind. Few people hanging around on the street. Taking a close look, suddenly, I realised they are party-goers. Spouse, lovers, and friends, you name it. Lying on the steel fence in front of different stores, I took photos of men, women, and scenery. Seagulls seems to be sleepless just like me flying on the cloudy and dark sky without limitation.

Pink Limo!




Crazy World ans Grazy Night! Kind of obsessed with the city life.



We had great nite last nite.
I don't know why I start to miss you guy now.
Once in a life time, I gradually understand the meaning of the words.
Expect the next time we meet each other.
But who knows when will be the next time...







3:00AM

Time to say goodbye, I know I might need to leave Edinburgh early.
I kept listening to everyone's voices and hoped I can remember it.
Let's just make a deal, and meet in Graduation Ceremony in December!
Have a sweet dream, dude. Got to go to bed now.

It's 6:00 in the morning:)

Can't Smile Without You



Accidentally, I listened to the song from the film "HellBoy". It's so beautiful, and
I decided to keep it in my blog. I can't smile without you, but where are you ???

Can't Smile Without You Lyrics
Artist(Band):Barry Manilow


You know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you

You came along just like a song
And brightened my day
Who would have believed that you were part of a dream
Now it all seems light years away

And now you know I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile

Now some people say happiness takes so very long to find
Well, I'm finding it hard leaving your love behind me

And you see I can't smile without you
I can't smile without you
I can't laugh and I can't sing
I'm finding it hard to do anything
You see I feel glad when you're glad
I feel sad when you're sad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't smile without you


你知道 你是我的微笑
沒有你失去微笑
沒心情做任何事

妳了解 我難過因為妳難過
妳快樂所以我快樂
希望妳明白我的心意
你是我的微笑

妳像是一首歌 走進了我的生命
照亮了我的每一天
不敢相信 你會不會只是一場夢呢
現在一切恍如隔世

現在你該明白 你微笑所以我微笑
你是我的微笑
我高興不起來 也唱不出來
沒心情做任何事

妳了解 我難過因為妳難過
妳快樂所以我快樂
希望妳明白我的心意
你是我的微笑 ....

.........

其實 妳現在也可以的!




咀嚼別人的文字 道盡人生的無常

看到了 stanley的文章 提到色戒裡王佳芝對鄺裕民說出的

"三年前,你可以的"

對我來說 又是另一種心情 另一種看法

也許聽到別人對自己說這句話時 他是帶有遺憾跟恥笑感

是不是當時的抉擇錯了?

有股半生緣的 "我們再也回不去了"之感

是不是當年我沒堅持醫學系的宏願 是錯的?

辜負了很多老師的期望 到現在仍有種遺憾

但是以前沒有達到的目的 不管年紀多大

只要有口氣在 還是有達成機會的

也許 只要拋下一切束縛 人永遠都有second chance

人生是個不斷在選擇的十字路口

如果 這次選錯了 別擔心

妳還有機會!!!

FaintHeart



I got insomnia for the first time in Edinburgh- Tonight

Ruby, I'm so glad to hear from your from Bankok. It's been a long time since we conversed last time. Hope you've found the one you desire deep inside you heart. Hey, Jalyn, how come you did not sleep til 5o'clock this morning? HaHa, Got swept off your feet by the right broom?

Nobody can completely persuade others to accept his or her idea and therefore, from time to time, you got to get used to the critics from your enemy. Like Carla Bruni-the first lady in France, releasing her third album after marriage, she needs to face the music that her songs migth be tainted by the politial influence, provoke the ire of many of Sarkozy's opponents.

However, her husband's unwavering support, and trusting in her, though only single person, gave her strength to continue. "May be the best album ever made by the wife of a head of state." It is true and I think I will take time to listen to it! Maybe you shouldn't bear in mind about others' opinions, and look for places where you're
destined to reach. Never regret and be upset about the public comments coz you're still you.

Everytime, I try to hypnotise myself and convince myself that I am who I am. Everyone coming to this world serve some purposes and has the mission to accomplish. And that's the way I live. I shouldn't abandon myself. If oneday, I've found something or someone that worth fighting for and worth dying for, I would do my best to protect it!

L is for the way you look about me
O is for the only one I see
V is the very very extra ordinary
E is even more then anyone that you adore
LOVE is all that I can give to you
LOVE is more then just a game for two
Two and love can make it
Take my heart but please don't break it
LOVE was made for me and you
LOVE was made for me and you
... ...

Every time you go away



Hey!, if we can solve any problem

Then why do we lose so many tears

Oh, and so you go again

When the leading man appears

Always the same thing

Can't you see, we've got everything goin' on and on and on



Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you



Go on and go free, yeah

Maybe you're too close to see

I can feel yor body move

It doesn't mean that much to me

I can't go on sayin' the same thing

Just can't you see, we've got everything do you even know we
know



Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you, oh

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you



I can't go on sayin' the same thing

'Cause baby, cancha see, we've got everything goin' on and
on and on



Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you

Old Habits Die Hard




I thought I shook myself free
You see I bounce back quicker than most
But I’m half delirious, it’s too mysterious
You walk through my walls like a ghost
And I take every day at a time
I'm proud as a lion in his lair
Now there's no denying it, and no decrying it
You're all tangled up in my head

Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Harder than November rain
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Hard enough to feel the pain

(Sheryl):
We haven't spoken in months
You see I’ve been counting the days

(Both):
I dream of such humanities, such insanities
I'm lost like a kid and im late

(Sheryl):
But I’ve never taken your calls
You see, I put a block on my phone

(Both):
I act like an addict, I just got to have it
I never can leave it alone

Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Harder than November rain
Old habits die hard
Old soldiers just fade away
Old habits die hard
Hard enough to feel the pain
