Today a good day

Been playing badminton today, and oh god! My bum is hurting now. havent been doing proper exercise for ages. I know it sounds like an old man, but Iam seriously feeling the age...

Anyway, my frds have helped me to re-polish my car, although the scratches were still visible, but its much better now. Thanks!

Iam happy today.

Forgiveness

In the Virginia Tech funeral:
"Dear Cho," a handwritten note says. "You are not excluded from our sorrow in death although you thought you were excluded from our love in life." It continues: "I wish you had given us all a chance. Your choice was so final."

Another letter, handwritten and covered in plastic, addresses him.
"I hope that if I ever met anyone like you I would have the courage and strength to reach out and change his or her life for the better."
Another note says only three words: "I forgive you."

Do you hate him or forgive him? If the incident happened in China, or Korea, or anywhere else in the world, will the people forgive Cho as the American did? I think it takes courage, wisdom, and the love of one's heart to forgive someone who killed your family and friends. Forgiveness makes the world a better place, and with that I hope you can forgive people around you, for whatever reason.

A day being Wong Kar-Wai

Since when did I start to like Wong's movie? perhars under my brother's influence that I started to enjoy the taste and sense in his movies. The moody lighting, the rather confusing dialoges, the mystery of story line, and especially his taste of music.
My favourite amongst all is 2046, can not explain the reason but perharps I really like the robot Wong Fei, the Japanese influence of style, and the only one story which I claim to fully understand. I always want to portray myself as tony, a man with sadness in the eyes, the humour, the charming smile, and the habbit of smoking; which I reagarded as "the true man", and I see Wong's shadow in this character. However I can never be this man not only I don't agree on smoking, or drinking, but I yet have the depth. Hopefully one day my brother can make a film which can turn me into such person, even for 1 minute.
Life is full of uncertainty and I think Wong's movies somehow carried this message with them. May be one day I will turn into Tony, who knows.

幻想

很久沒用中文寫文章了, 最近一連串的作業和考試的壓力在漫天朧罩, 看不見的不同的結局在夢裡交替著. 渴望暑假綠州的海市蜃樓; 渴望與朱麗葉的生死相約; 渴望聽見維也納的鋼琴聲; 也渴望著東京的樂與怒. 太多的渴望, 不知何時已把眼前一刻忙記. 虛幻與現實在交織著, 也許我不是一個現實的人, 總有著不切實際的幻想. 把一切過度美化, 對未來過度幻想. 也許我應該做個藝術家比較開心.

最近決定了去日本, 待暑假後應該會決定下來. 一片我從小就充滿著幻想的土地, 那武士道精神, 那落慕的歌姬, 對傳統的保留, 現代的科技, 一切都充滿著好奇. 但期待的同時也擔優在英國的一切, 說到底多年來累積下的東西有不少, 走後好像一切都會有點不同了.

不想了, 未來的事未來自會解決吧.
