Awww


It's been centuries ever since I last blogged.

Well, this is highly due to the increasing stress of a secondary 4 life;
life mainly revolves around waking up, homework, coffee and sleep.
So, you wouldn't have much of a spare time to do other stuff;
with the hectic 10-hours-of-school-daily, I doubt I could do something else either.

And it's been tests, piles of homework, projects, assignments...
I wonder its been how long ever since I took a break and have a kit kat.
You only get to sleep at 12 everyday, and you got to wake up at 5;
the quality of life just get worse and worse as the time goes by.

And the hectic lifestyle made me lose all inspirations for my writing.

I'm just wondering when I could actually have a good night's rest...
maybe during the CNY holidays, when I can sleep like nobody's business.
And perhaps I could get away from all the bullshit and crap... temporarily.
On one fine day, I still have to be realistic and deal with it.

And so, the dull life of mine becomes even more bland than ever.
It's not that I don't have a life;
it's just that i have a life that seriously sucks,
and I couldn't do much about it.

And without my source of inspiration from life,
I guess my posts will get more and more boring, and dull, and bland...
Maybe I should use the time on some other things;
better than typing each post on homework, homework, homework.

It's just one bloody year, grit your teeth and get through it...

Like what the Co-FT said on the first day of school,
'Adapt and Survive'.
I guess I can only adapt to it, then survive with it.

Ah, at least the weekends are here;
but there's a huge pile of work waiting for me.

Who gives a damn,
let me catch some sleep first...

逃避


每个人的心中,都有一个阴暗的角落,一个难看的烙印。
在心灵深渊,每个人都有一个想要逃避、自己不想面对的事实。
无论嘴上是多么地服从,大家在心底,
难免对某些事物、某些人,有那么一丝的不满,不甘,不愿。

有的时候,这似乎是一场无尽的长跑。
远追在后头的是我们不想去面对的事实,
而为了逃离,我们也只能不停地跑,不停地跑;
直到累了、慢了、终究会停下来。

有时,自己也觉得自己好像也在逃离某些事,某些人。
但是,自己不想去应付的事,到底是何事?
自己不想去面对的人,到底是何人?
自己不想去接受的事实,为何事?
自己,还在逃离哪些东西?

这话我说不清楚;
就觉得在这生中,我一直在逃离,一直在跑;
逃到自己忘记是在为何而逃,跑到忘记自己是在因谁而跑。
当初担心害怕、无勇面对的,是何事、何人?
昔时无法接受、不甘不愿的,又是何事、何人?

逃避了十六年,逃到连在为何而逃也忘了;
不过那份恐惧、那份担心害怕,日益增加。

自己无法去面对的,终究是他人,还是自己?
自己无法去接受的,终究处于他人,还是源自自己?

是自己太过害怕,而逃离他人,
还是自己无法面对,而逃离自己?

我究竟,为何而逃?

当时的无勇、昔日的害怕,是今日的我,失去了自己。

原来,一个错误的决定,可带来无穷的祸害。

现在,失去方向的我,何去何从?

逃避的,是无情的你,是残酷的现实,是迷失的自己。

Someday I'll be Saturday Night


Caught up with a hectic schedule and homework that piled up like a mountain,
I couldn't really find myself any leisure time.
The only time I get to sit in front of the computer, then do a bit of crapping,
is during the weekends, when I could really get away from urban stress temporarily.

These days hadn't been any better;
as usual, school sucks and shit happens all the time, which seem to be unavoidable.
Now that's life for you when you're near a decision-making-point;
somehow or rather this is the very year that will decide my fate for the next 20 years to come.
It's crucial; I should be putting my heart and soul into studying,
but it just seems like the whole chunk of information wouldn't get into my head.
And so, well, I could only take a step at a time.

Have been down with ill health these days;
this adds on to the struggle in this hectic and busy life.
It just seems like a continuous cycle-
wake up, study, sleep; wake up, study, sleep.
They say this process will go on for a year,
and will bring you great benefits;
I couldn't care less after all.

Yes shit happens all the time,
but definitely sometimes there's something that will make your day.
It's like, after a long day of shit and crap in school,
something happen that makes you feel that all the shit and crap is worthwhile.
Though this doesn't happen all the time,
but it serves as a form of motivation when I'm near the 'breaking point'.

And there...
next week is a week full of test and homework.
Not even a month and I'm already feeling tired of all these-
am I too weak-willed or is it just the system's fault?

Sometimes I don't see the point of education in today's society.
But my parents do; "It's a necessity," they say.
I mean, when there's a graduate in every 10 out of 10 people you meet,
you don't really expect education to bring you anywhere in life.

A bachelor's degree act as none but only an entry ticket.
An entry to the society, so that you can earn your stand there.
Without that degree you wouldn't be anywhere;
but having it doesn't means that your future is secured.

This is the kind of life that we are getting now.
A rat race; survival the fittest.
You couldn't expect a certificate or grades to bring you to great heights;
you have to be innovative, you need to know to shake the right hands,
you need to know to scheme and plan, you need to find chances.
Only the smartest and the strongest shall survive this society.
The others, either you get ousted, or you work under them.

Sometimes I cannot bring myself to the fact;
to the fact that I'm so, so much inferior to others,
not just in terms of physical looks,
but brains, planning, social relations, abilities, etc.
I mean, with or without a certificate to buy my entry to the world,
I still don't see anyway that I could make myself stand high among everyone.
Compared to most people, I'm inferior in most aspects.
So well, I just have to live with it.

Certainly there's a way out in life for everyone;
that includes yours truly.
I mean, if I couldn't win a competition in grades, brains, looks, talent,
surely there is something else that shall earn me fame and wealth.
But what is it? I never knew, and I'm still searching for it.

When everyone, at this decision-making-point, is deciding on how their future will be, and how shall it turn out to be,
I am, on the other hand, thinking of how am I going to ensure that i have a future.

I'm always attracted to vices, starting at a tender age of 3;
cards, liquor, cars, hard cold cash, beautiful women.
Though I'm always dabbling with cards and wine,
but I've never thought of walking on the dark side and earning easy money.

But if there's a day to come, whereby this is my only way out to riches;
then, I shall never hesitate to path a career in vices.

After all, it's a job that not many want to do,
giving me some sort of advantage when the masses need this area of 'service'.

Nevertheless, I shall make one last stand on the bright side;
which is, studying hard, and see if I could earn myself a page on the newspaper with my good deeds and 'abilities'.

If not, maybe I'll be the next faction to rise after Yakuza, Triads and the Mafia.

Either way out, I choose not to stay low-
life's too short for too many regrets,
and it's too fast for any hesitation.

"I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday Night."

再见一次


还是那句“好忙啊”。
近日来功课量不知为何急速上升,
搞得大家疲惫不堪,如行尸走肉似的。
这几晚也没有得好睡,大部分的时间都花在功课上。
让我觉得似乎活着就是为了做功课。

好了,扫兴的事撇一旁;
我们来说说其他的吧。

新的一年,新的开始;
还没有一个月,就已经有了那种“度日如年”的感觉。
尽管如此,时间似乎过得很快;
一眨眼,又是新的一天了。

新的一年,新的希望;最希望的,
不是那个名列前茅,还是那个万事如意;
倒是希望与朋友之间的那份情意,
能够长长久久;友谊长存乃是我最想要的。

中学生崖迈入了第四个年头;
过去的三年,我遇到了许许多多的人,
形形色色,五花八门。
有的是可靠的战友,有的是可信赖的良师益友;
有的是可倾心的知己,有的是一起享乐的酒肉朋友。

时过境迁,友谊、感情也随着环境的变化而改变;
有些素未平生的路人甲成为了终生的挚友,
而有些曾经一起有说有笑的友人,则成了陌生人。

一份友谊,很想挽回,却发现已经无法改变任何东西;
一份情意,很想找回,却发现已经无法像从前那样了。

一位曾经与我共度患难的友人说:
“这一切其实就是缘分。
天下无不散之筵席,有时走到了某个交叉处,
一起共同走过万水千山的好友也要分头,各走各的。
但愿日后,哪来个机遇,再让两人共同再走一回。”

变了质的友谊,聪明的人选择不去挽回;
淡了味的情意,有心的人选择不去寻回。

已经失去原有的意义和价值的友情,还有何处值得我们留恋的呢?
从前的那份理解,从前的那份关怀,从前的那份陪伴;
失去它们之后,还剩下那些值得我们去挽回的呢?

剩下的,只有昔日的情意,当年的真挚,
今日的离别,以及两人共同拥有的美好回忆。

Type到这里,也不禁拿起酒杯,
一口干了杯里的威士忌。

如果说今日我们必须在此交叉处分头,各走各的,
我也没有遗憾,没有懊悔之意,毕竟两人曾共同度过美好的时光;
但愿来日能够在下一个交叉处看见你的背影,
也希望那时你还记得我们曾经一起度过的时光,一起拥有的美好回忆。

变了质的友谊,留下的,并不是遗憾;
而是夏日一起度过美好时光的回忆,
让我当做棉衣,着在身上过得残冬。

今日的离别不能阻止,
但愿来日还能相遇,共同怀念、重温昔日的友谊。

Dear friends, we shall meet once more.

意冷,心却不灰的一天


You just had a bad day, but what else could you do about it?

这两天又忙、又烦、又乱。。。
又是沉重的功课,又是连续不断的测验,又是忙得不可开交的时程表。。。
又是那些不如意的事,又是那些不顺心的日子。。。

好累,好累,好累哦。

Cause you had a bad day,
You're taking one down,
You sing a sad song just to turn it around...

好多好多不顺心的事,只叫我累得没心情叙述了。

人生不如意之事,常之八九嘛。
偶尔时运较低,自己也无可奈何。
没办法,只好咬紧牙关,努力坚强地熬过去。

在坏、再不好的事,总会结束的;
无论狂风暴雨多大、多久,
也总有雨过天晴的那一刻。

总相信这些令人烦恼的事,都是暂时的。

晴天,总会到来的。

每次都会跟自己说,
再烦、再乱的一天,都是值得我们去感激的。
感谢天公不作美,赐予我们一个挑战并超越自己的机会。
感恩万事不顺心,让我们有一个孤军作战的经验。

今天的烦恼,是昨天的不足,是明天的准备;
我总是相信,明天,会更好!

阳光,总在风雨后。

要客观看待昨天,
要主观对待今天,
要乐观面对明天。

总是相信,今天的暴风雨,
不会延续到明天的。
留下的,
只是灿烂的阳光。

致:把他拒于门外的她



在这世上,有很多东西,是不应该去做的。
因为就算是做了,依然还是没有结果的。

很多东西,很多时候,到最终,它只不过是一个无言的结局。

脑子思想的。心里感觉的。
就算是如何地触动人心,
有的时候到最后,才发现自己一直在原地踏步。

有很多话想说,却说不出口。
有很多事想做,却动不了手。
因为说了,可能会失去那最后的希望、最后的回首;
因为做了,可能会失去那唯一让自己有生存价值的空梦。

人生何其短,没有留下太多遗憾的余地;
不说、不做,留下的是一辈子的遗憾。
但是说了、做了,留下的,
是永恒的遗憾。

奈何,奈何。

有时候,希望的、盼望的,其实不多。
那一个回首、那一声招呼;
可能对某个人来说,只不过是一种很基本的礼貌。
但是对另外一个人来说,
可能是他终日所盼望的;是他生存的理由。

千山万水总是情,多给一点行不行。

有的人没有心跳;有的,是一个对几乎对每个人没有情感的人。
他们把心掏出来,交给一个不会珍惜的人;
从此,就甘愿做一辈子的裙下之臣,心为某人而跳,命为某人而活。

很凄惨,很悲伤;
不过,那是许多人梦寐以求的一种感受。
那种此生为你活,此命为你死;
就算某些人不知道如何珍惜,那些裙下之臣也心甘情愿。

何必呢?为何呢?
他们说,也不知道为何,事实也就不过如此。
看见的,是其他人无法察觉的美;感受的,是其他人无法感觉的魅。
也就不过如此;没有其他的理由。

Type到这里,也不禁喝了一口烈酒。
对他们来说,只有酒精浓度极高的烈酒,
才能帮助他们暂时脱离这种又甜又苦的现实。

真不知道他们真么还能在这种环境之下熬那么久。

多看一眼、多说两句;
或许,那些割脉、吃安眠药、酗酒的人,或许会少很多。

明知道是一个无言的结局,很清楚是一个没有结果的美梦;
却乐在其中,无怨无悔。

因为你真的不知道,
无论是内在、外在,
你是如此地美丽动人。

三个愿望


周末好忙啊!
又是功课又是校园活动,可忙得不可开交!
本来是想停下来喘口气,可是当我已把所有东西完成时,
一转眼就要到星期一了!
What is this man?

小学六年,中学四年;
过后还有理工三年,大学四年(I hope so);
十几年的人生,就这样忙忙碌碌度过。
街上行人匆匆而来,匆匆而去;
有几个会用一两秒的时间,停下脚步,来看看周围的人、事、物?

我想,就算今生不能大富大贵,不能家喻户晓,
唯一一次的人生也要过得充实、自在、快乐。
总不能每天匆匆忙忙,到死的那一刻,也没真真正正快乐过吧?

我不像那些聪明人,我只不过是一个无名小卒;
我也没有哪些伟大的抱负和理想;
就算是有,今生今世我也没有那个本事去完成他们。
不过呢,我跟大家一样,都会做梦;
胸上没有理想抱负,心里却有三个小小的愿望。

当周围的人都在规划自己的人生,为不远的将来而努力时,
我却依然停留在原地,做自己喜欢、觉得舒服的事。
我不愿像那些社会名流、政坛名人、舞台明星、商场大亨那样;
为权、为钱、为名、为利而活。
我要为自己而活;自己快乐满足就好。

如果问我以后想要从事哪个行业时,我会说从商吧。
我想开一间巧克力专卖店,以大众化的价格专卖来自世界各地的巧克力。
还有在店里卖咖啡、糕点、等等。
也要开一间茶餐厅,让人优哉游哉度过闲暇之时。

除此之外,可能也相当一名业余作家。
爽的时候就写写故事;战争、历险,每种类别都有。
除了会写,我大概也就没有其他的本事了;
可能以后就要靠笔墨生存了。

还要走遍全世界,
去探访古迹、体验不同的生活方式、了解不同种族的文化。
看看小红点没有的山、海、河、湖。
就是想要冲出这个小岛,去看看世界。

不过在完成这些之前,
我还是得花上好几年的时间,努力读书。
路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索。

人生嘛,不必太过复杂的!
其实,最简单的人生,就是最美好的人生。

浓郁香醇咖啡乌


咖啡乌的香,咖啡乌的苦,咖啡乌的浓,咖啡乌的纯。

我从小就喜欢喝咖啡,对咖啡乌更是情有独钟;
不知道为何其他孩子都在狂饮汽水时,
我却在一旁,一口一口慢慢地品尝又黑又浓的咖啡乌。

苦苦的咖啡乌,入口的时候给我带来一种多层次的口感。
入口的时候它温温的,舌头立即能够尝到咖啡的苦;
顺着喉咙流下时,能感觉到咖啡的浓郁;
喝进肚子之后,咖啡乌的香味久久在口中不散,
在喉咙和舌尖上,留下一种淡淡的甘香。

喝一口咖啡,顿时感到精神百倍;
喝完一杯之后,香醇的咖啡味仍在周围徘徊,
不知道为何,就是想再多喝一杯。

喝咖啡是一种享受,品尝咖啡是一门学问;
不同的咖啡带来不同的感受,每一杯,都藏着奥妙的智慧。

咖啡乌独特的味道让我拥有了喝咖啡的习惯;
而咖啡乌给我带来的感想让我获益不浅。

我无法从其他的饮料中找到那种味道;
它是属于咖啡乌本身的独特之处。
刚喝一口咖啡乌时,那苦涩的滋味让人想把口中的咖啡吐出来;
不过等咖啡入肚之后,他的香味久久在口中徘徊,
也在舌尖上留下了一种甘甜的味道。

不知道为何,我好像曾经在哪里尝过这种味道。
那种刚开始是苦的、是涩的,过后又变成是甜的、是甘的;
这味道不是出自于某种食品上,而是来自生活中的某一处。
它的味道与咖啡乌的十分相似;
只不过苦的部分比较苦,甘的部分比较甘;
它的过程,比享受一杯咖啡乌的时间来得长。

我尝试去寻找这个类似咖啡乌的味道;
从生活中的点点滴滴,去发现它的存在。
找啊找啊,发现它来自某种生命的过程;
来自某种与喝咖啡类似的过程。

咖啡乌一入口;苦尽,甘来。
那味道,好像是经历了某种苦涩的经验之后,然后换来一时的甘香的感觉。
这味道吸引了我,这感觉让我着迷。

回首过去,这三年来我经历了不少的大风大浪,让我翻了好几次的船。
那种心灰、那种意冷、那种绝望,给我带来了一种又苦又涩的感觉。
我不知道,该如何是好,只知道要咬紧牙关,坚持下去。
泪水,虽苦,也要往肚子里吞,不能流出来;
就像喝一口苦苦的咖啡乌,再苦也要吞下去。

吞下之后,过一阵子,终于见到了某种成就;
就好像喝下咖啡乌之后,那种甘香顿时在口中散开来。
味道就是如此,先苦后甜;
感觉就是如此,苦尽甘来。

就在自己取得了某些小成就之后,
我才发现,那根咖啡乌的味道十分相似的味道,

是成功的味道。

救自己


三天过去了,
不过感觉很像经历了很多。

才三天,就能感觉那种压力;
功课越来越多,属于自己的时间越来越少。

面对目前的漫漫长路,
心里不时感到恐惧;似乎快要喘不过气来了。

不过,又好像很快就能结束了;
多几个月,会考之后,又是一个新的开始。

这不禁令我回想起四年前那小六会考成绩的那一刻。

看到成绩单的那三个数字时,心里有一种怪怪的感觉;
不知道自己应该哭,还是应该感到庆幸。
哭,却欲哭无泪;笑,却笑口难开。

"238".
"A A A A*".

不上不下的成绩令我左右为难;
这种成绩,进不了名校;进邻里学校,实在可惜。
没办法,就这样开始了四年的痛苦人生。

四年前我荒废学业,导致今日的残局;
四年后,我即将谱出人生中的第二首变奏曲。
心里,又是那个七上八下的心情。

失意、失恋、失去的,实在太多;
还是我应该说,我两袖清风步入中华,也将两手空空走出校园?

人生的挫折,人生的失意,人生的低潮;统统都在这四年一一发生。

有时常想,倘若当初努力一点,今日会否有如此下场?

四年啊,一个饱受打击的人,一颗破碎无比的心;
变奏曲,变错了。

今时,我又面对同样的情境;
倘若这次再变错,我这一生就完了。

加入学生军是一个失败的决定,
选择读这些科目是一个错误的选择;
一失足成千古恨,再回头已百年身。

这次,我仍然可以选择不去变错;
这次,我有权利选择,将来我是否会后悔。

伤心的事太多了。
不过,我还有得选择。

发奋图强,坚持到底;百折不挠,永不言败。

努力,奋斗,变奏曲。

第一天有感


又开学了;再一次踏入校园里。

与以往一样,开学第一天都来得较轻松;
一整个上午都在听讲座,然后回到课室里做一些有的没有的。
花了些时间折纸飞机。。。这次可是在办正经事哦!
学校要破那个他娘的世界纪录,所以就来一个“大家来丢纸飞机”。
觉得有点浪费时间;有时就是这样,不能做一些有建设性的活动。
越野赛跑、夜间自行车、还是铁人三项。。。

总好过丢纸飞机吧。

反正童年的时候都丢够了。

还有啊,上了中四,时间越来越紧促;
总让人觉得这命不是为自己而活似的。
开学了,有一大堆东西可等着我们去忙;
不知道有多少时间是真正属于自己的。
不过,也能奈何? Life goes on.

开学第一天的心情还不错。
回想今天上午与同窗闲聊时的一个话题:
“你对自己的将来有哪些理想?想要入哪些行业?”
想着想着,自己也潇潇洒洒,不堪回首地过了十五载;
总要出头证明自己的时候,却一次又一次地碰到钉子,栽了个头。
虽然已经看淡俗事、名利,不过也要为自己的将来找一个落脚处。

有时候总是不停地问自己,
自己这一生中,到底有任何理想,究竟想达到哪些目标。
对于自己的前路,似乎看不到一个尽头;
对于自己的一生,也没有太大的抱负。

那一系列的打击,给自己带来深刻的影响;
就如一两以全速前进的跑车,突然撞到路障一样,
那一系列的打击,把自己打入万丈深谷,永无翻身之日。
从自信变自卑,从乐观变悲观;
就那么一系列的事情罢了,却给一生带来永恒的疤。

似乎无法向年少轻狂的时候一样,
再次奋不顾身地往前冲。
当你看腻、看淡一切时,成功失败,也就成了过眼云烟。

理想?
应该是找一个跟你一样漂亮的姑娘,成家,生几个孩子;
找一份安稳的工作,努力养家糊口。

不过人生短短几十年,
也不通如此白白来离开!

心里有一份伟大的理想,脑海里浮现着一个美妙的憧憬;
我只需要一线希望,点燃心中的理想、脑里的憧憬;
让跌落万丈深谷的火凤凰,再次展翅高飞!

目前,我要得不多;
就请您,赐予我那份再次战斗的力量。

Back to School


So, the holidays are soon coming to an end.
Today is the very last day of the holidays...
Thinking back, I'm just wondering what stuff have I done to make this holiday a memorable one...
Well, quite a number I guess;
and this holiday will never be a regretful one.
All the good times might have ended,
but the memories stay alive in the heart.

And I'm just wondering what should I be doing on the last day of freedom;
but certainly, I'm not stepping out of the house today.
Just need to do some personal administration,
pack my bag, and then prepare the school uniform, get a good night sleep.
Yeap, a brand new adventure awaits me tomorrow.

Frankly speaking, the back-to-school feeling isn't there.
It's been three years ever since I enter this school,
and it just seems like every year gets worse than the previous one.
It's been quite a lot of shit for the past three years;
so starting tomorrow, I gotta lead a life afresh.
No more foolish thoughts, foolish feelings, foolish actions;
I'm just gonna concentrate on what I should be doing.
Which is, studying.

There's a lot to be done this year...
and I believe every little small action of mine is a key step towards my near future.
Or perhaps, to the extend of influencing my whole life.
Well, I don't aim to be the best of the best;
I just want to lead my last year of secondary school life,
as an ordinary, average student, like everyone else;
this is something that I've missed out in the past three years.

So, back-to-school.
Honestly, I ain't excited about it.
But if the misery isn't there, and so does the mockery, the prejudice...
maybe things get a little better.
But well, going to the age of 16, I couldn't care less anymore.
Let it be, I would say; if it doesn't really concern my safety that much.

But of course, I don't want to graduate with regrets.
There's a whole deal of unsettled debts between me and many other people.
Some, I owe them; but most of it, others owe me.
I don't know why, but I just feel that I have to settle it all to get back to point zero; somewhere in which I could start afresh.
I don't have to bring all the haunts from secondary school to the near future;
well, unpaid debts have to be paid.

And debt seeking starts tomorrow.

I couldn't get myself a brand new image after the years of mockery and prejudice.
All I could do, starting tomorrow, is to lead my life as ordinary, as low profile as I could.

What else, could I do?

Those days when I'm still a greenhorn in the school, I remember the lofty achievements I promise myself that I'll achieve. But none of them were realised. So, I told myself, for the last quarter of all these, I'm leading it fruitfully.

And without any regrets.
