《如果 爱〉--张学友
谁是自己生命不该错过的真爱
特别在午夜醒来更是会感慨
心动埋怨还有不能释怀
都是因为你触碰了爱
如果这就是爱
再转身就该勇敢留下来
就算受伤就算流泪
都是生命里温柔灌溉
哦爱在回忆里总是那麽明白
困惑的心流过的泪
还有数不清黑夜等待
如果这就是爱
如果你当时明白
後来的生命里是快乐还是悲哀
特别在夜深人静时想起未来
是否能平静不会想现在
只是因为你拥有了爱
如果这就是爱
再转身就该勇敢留下来
就算受伤
就算流泪
都是生命里温柔灌溉
哦爱在回忆里总是那麽明白
困惑的心
流过的泪
还有数不清黑夜等待
如果这就是爱
如果这就是爱

Basketball and I
written in 2000 and 2001
Primary
When I was 10, one day, my Chinese teacher who also taught P.E. went round classes hunting for tall girls. "YOU, come down for basketball training" and from then on, I was introduced to basketball! Together with the rest, we were taught the fundamentals of the game. I learnt very fast and enjoyed the praises from the teacher. I could still remember the tournament we participated in. We wore sleeveless blue white collar jersys and fought with quite a number of schools. The scotching sun, the falling leaves, the gaint-sized opponents and the forever panting for breath. We were not very organised but we did our best. I thought I played the forward position then and it was very tiring. The sense of achievement emerged only when we won the second placing in 1983.The first and the only trophy for me in those primary school days. Soon I became complacent and thought that even with fewer trainings I could still cope well. At that time, Chinese Orchestra (which was my main interest then) took up much of my time. When I finally found out that I neglected it too much, I decided to heed my parents' advice to concentrate on one eca only and spend more time for the preparation of the coming PSLE.
Secondary
When I went to secondary school, I chose Chinese Orchestra as my eca without much hesitation. I still like basketball but due to parents' objection, I only joined the interclass matches. I was asked to join the school team after a two year break. I was eager and for the first time I made my own decision.My parents did object and my the other eca stressed me out a lot too. In the end, I gave up Chinese Orchestra and concentrated fully on basketball. The days then were not that smooth either. Our coach left and we were left to train alone. Our seniors did try to get their outside coach to teach, but many factors led to the failure in doing so. Though faced with so many obstacles, the team had been very close . My playing position had now changed. I took over the captainship in my last year there. It was not an easy task. We had arranged a number of friendly matches ourselves. We took them very seriously as those were rare chances. Nobody in the team would want to absent themselves and very often, almost everyone put basketball as one's priority. What we learnt was that we would not despise ourselves even though we were always left alone. Those years, we cried, we laughed, we disheartened, we pressed on. Now only the silver and bronze medals in the cupboard could bring back these memories.
JC
I thought I would not have contact with basketball anymore when I went to JC. I was asked by my teammate to appeal with her through basketball. I was not that keen but I did not reject. Soon, I joined the training there and my interest in basketball was pushed to another greater height. I played as centre for I was the one of the tallest. My coach, Mr Sim, though he could not turn up for most of the trainings, we still managed to learn much from him when we talked to him during our free time. My captains were very demanding and we were perpetually tortured by them willingly. They stretched our physical limits to the maximum that we often grumbled in front and behind them. However, deep inside, we shared one common goal, and that was to maintain the national top titles which our seniors had done for the past 12 years. We were under tremendous pressure when there was not a single combined school player in our team. We trained real hard and very very hard. We ran 3km for warm up with weights around our ankles and wrists; We dashed up and down the 4 levels high staircase . We did 500 skipping; We used medicine balls instead of bean bags for shuttle run; We challenged the steep slope outside school and We did hundreds and hundreds of shooting.We did all the impossibles just to make sure we had no regrets during competition. In the process, we came up with our own cheers and we sorted different ways to boost our morale. We clinched the national second again! Till now, I could still remember vividly the determination, perserverence and cooperation we displayed.
University
In the university days, I was devoted to the running of my department society. It was when the inter-faculty games were held that I was back to play basketball again. We came in first for two years. After winning the last medal in 1993, my role in basketball as a player came to an end.
Work
In 1995, I was given an opportunity to teach baskteball. In the initial stage, I faced problems in buidling a rapport with my players but as the time went by, things got better. The senior players were always willing to help and mutual understanding developed. Besides being a coach, I was also a mentor and friend to them. There were misundertandings and disputes but there were laughter and joy too. Since then ,training camps and chalets were held annually and it had become a informal way for reunion and gathering. Whenever I saw the older players coming back to help out,making sure the younger ones were equipped with the necessary skills, those were my moments of glory and sense of achievement. They have touched me and hope that I have touched them in one way or another too.

autumn hokkaido 北海道的秋 2005- room 911
it seemed that i have become forgetful
or rather travelling with family put my mind at ease
till i need not bother much.
Was a cold day and straight after breakfast
we set off for Mount Daisetsuzan (大雪山)
"The Roof of Hokkaido" (北海道之屋顶)
Took the Kurodake ropeway from Sounkyo Station
and in 7 mins time, we reached the 5th stage of Mount Kurodake.
We were unfortunate not to see snow falling
yet at the same time fortunate to see the snow capped mountains.
Went to Sake Beer factory (男山造酒资料馆),
oe of the "compulsory" visit in any Hokkaido trip.
Two years ago, the whole place was all white and now
it was a beautiful combination of colours.
Well, hurt my right finger very badly there and i thought of the time
when i played with the snow while waiting for the rest 2 years ago.
The feeling was the same: 孤单但不寂寞。
Finally reached my long waited place Otaru (小樽)after a more than 2 hours ride.
It was only 4 and it was getting dark. Embracing the falling raindrops, we walked to the 银钟の一号馆 for a coffee/tea. This place was famous as we could bring back the cups an saucers we bought for our coffee/tea.
Learnt of this place through the movie “情书” during my university days.
Maybe that was one of the reasons why i have a special bond towards hokkaido and Otaru.
Stayed in Hilton where it was surrounded by a huge shopping arcade.
Could merely covered half of the shops there in the window shopping mode
and that already took us almost 2 hours.

autumn hokkaido 北海道的秋 2005 - room 1422
as much as i would like to dip in the hotspring,
still gave up the chance.
for the first time, left the room key in the room,
only realising it when i reached the ground floor.
wonder how could one remember the key which was
in the slot of the small table between two beds.
it was a day of long hours travelling.
stop over at a lavender farm, though the lavender season was over,
to be able to taste the lavender flavoured ice cream was more than enough to compensate.
the familiar ginga falls 银河之瀑布 and ryusei falls 流星瀑布
brought back memories of 2003 winter when there was nothing but world of white with falling snow.
had the opportunity to climb to the top which took us almost 20 min.
everything was fine till mum felt a little uncomfortable.
the hotel was near to the one which i stayed before.
managed to get the adults to try the hotspring, the ladies were brave enough to try while only one dad out of the three families did.
we were supposed to dressed in the japanese clothes, upon seeing some didn't,
our dads immediately went to change back.
i guess what happend during the second world war would never
change the mind sets of this two old men.

autumn hokkaido 北海道的秋 2005 -Apa hotel room 1142
This is the second trip to hokkaido,
a different season though,
the first was during winter,
and this time round autumn.
Reached Narita (成田) International Airport at 7:30am(Japan local time),
an hour ahead of Singapore's.
didn't have a good rest on the plane,
thanks to the person in front and i was
lucky enough to have him as one of the 34 in this tour group.
ah bao,the local guide,a jovial 40+ guy reminded me of ah B, the male hong kong singer.
took another hour bus journey to Harita(羽田) Airport to catch the 10am flight,
an hour and 30 min to Sapporo(札幌) (Chitose Airport 千岁机场).
t weather was cold,
the first meal of the trip happened to be the only bbq meal.
took photos and photos, the primary aim of my trip.
the first stop was the Chitose Salmon Aquarium (千岁鲑鱼故乡馆),
the fishes were adorable, especially when they fought to seek shelter ,
after fighting against the strong river currents for long.
saw how they wriggled out of the eggs, danced in the lights,
grew to a gigantic size and a pair of shoes which were made of their skin.
saw a blue lobster, two mini soft shell crabs fighting with one another too.
dusk came early in hokkaido, around 4 pm,
by the time we came out around 3 45 pm, it was getting cold.
would like to capture the red, orange coloured trees,
but i guess one could only admire its beauty when one was physically there.
had an amazing view of the surrounding from the hotel room,
and i knew i was really far far away from you.
2005年10月31日星期一

想说
远得我不知道该如何面对你们,
莫名地讨厌那曾经占据我生活的绿。
好不习惯这样的距离、好不喜欢这样的差距。
昨晚收到了第一封教师节的信笺,好兴奋!
然而很快地又伤感起来。
最近,常碰到教过的你们。
朋友都说,我桃李满天下。
我是该感到欣慰吗?
在不同领域有成就的你们,
真的曾经是我训斥的对像吗?
只不过短短的几个月,我怎么老了那么多?
昨晚,竟然为总理的群众大会而落泪。
看到他的全情投入,怎能不动心?
就像每年的国庆,会因为感动而落泪。
也许我的情绪太丰富了,
我想,你们永远也不会明白。
我认识的你们,还好吗?
如果,偶尔想起我,
可否告诉我你的思念?

爱的进行式-陈淑桦
从拒绝 到 依赖 从 陌生 到 相爱
从深信 到 疑猜 从 疼爱 到 伤害
从炫烂 到 苍白 从 厮守 到 分开
从感动 到 感概 从 体谅 到 责怪
从期待 到 无奈 从 狂喜 到 悲哀
一段情宁愿短暂精彩
还是先去问他会不会有将来
一份爱如果消逝的太快
你可不可以当它是命运的安排
all those loney nights
lonely nights
多么难捱爱过的人都明白
那种孤单的感觉到今天还在
oh lonely nights
lonely nights
心情多坏爱过的人才明白
挥不去也甩开不是伤悲的情怀
抹不去的尘埃抹不去的阴霾
你想你应不应该拒他于千里之外
又舍不得现在又不放心将来
如果只是害怕失败那他究竟值不值得你爱

你不在-听王力宏
我慢慢了解,有些事情还是得等待时间的。
“当世界只剩下这床头灯 你那边是早晨已经出门
我侧身感到你在转身 无数陌生人 正在等下一个绿灯
一再错身彼此脆弱的时分 不过渴望一个吻的馀温
我关了灯 黑暗把我并吞
你不在 当我最需要爱 你却不在 喔
无尽等待像独白的难捱 喔
你不在 高兴还是悲哀 你都不在 喔
我受了伤再偷偷好起来 但你不在 不在
时间在按下许多次快门 沉默里听见转动的秒针
一个人吃饭这个凌晨 孤单一人份 你低声说你有别人
我的话筒只有自己的体温 怎样认真也不一定成真
你说得对 我不得不承认
你不在 当我最需要爱 你却不在 喔
无尽等待像独白的难捱 喔
你不在 高兴还是悲哀 你都不在 喔
我受了伤再偷偷好起来 但你不在
那些摇摆 我都明白 都明白 喔
但你不在 爱已不在 不在
你不在 当我最需要爱 你却不在 喔
一个人分饰两角的恋爱 喔
你不在 高兴还是悲哀 你都不在 喔
像空气般不存在的存在
再没有痕迹的爱 你不在
当我需要你的爱 你不在“
2005年7月3日星期日
那女孩对我说---听黄义达
有一点儿感动,也有那么一点儿心痛。
最近的自己,变得好讨人嫌,一点儿自信都没有。我是怎么了?在面临那么多的未知数,我怎么会胆怯了?
失败是什么?没有拥有过的,可以有失去的结果吗?不是说好要好好儿享受过程的吗?我相信你会不一样,时间可以让我看到我要的结果吗?如果这只是考验的开始,我想无论我是不是在世界的中心,抑或是不是借着雨点说爱你,都好像不重要了。我相信你我的约定,我会守着约,直到你失约那天。
“心很空 天很大 云很重 我恨孤单 却赶不走 捧著她的名字
她的喜怒哀乐 往前走 多久了 一个人心中只有一个宝贝
久了之後 她变成了眼泪 泪一滴在左手 凝固成为寂寞
往回看 有什麽 那女孩对我说(说我)保护她的梦
说这个世界 对她这样的不多 她渐渐忘了我 但是她并不晓得
遍体鳞伤的我 一天也没再爱过 那女孩对我说 说我是一个小偷
偷走她的回忆 塞进我的脑海中 我不需要自由
只想背著她的梦 一步步向前走 她给的永远 不重”

seventh day
Didn't realise it was the fire alarm till I came out of the room.
Was among the last few to be out of the hotel and it was only
two degree Celcius at half past seven in the moring.
Fire engines and the police came and
people started to take photos of their rare appearance.
Wearing only sandals, my feet went cold even the sun was out.
In the end it was only a false alarm.
Was late for my last day of Conference and I realised my notes and my earphone pouch were nowhere to be found upon reaching the University.
Was a little affected but life still went on.
Went to the Brentwood Shopping Mall for a while and decided to go back to Downtown.
There were more people on the streets this time round,
most probably because it was Friday.
Was contented to be able to buy some clothes.
Slept through the evening till nine to get my dinner.
Pampered myself with this Grilled prawn with black pepper and the best thing was to watch "Pretty Woman" starring Julie Roberts and Richard Gere on the local TV.
Was a little too late to realise I missed so many American movies for my stay there but nevetheless, still managed to watch first half of "While you were sleeping" by Sandra Bullocks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Woke up @ 3:00am to bathe.
Checked out of the hotel a@4:30am 28/05/05 and reached the Calgary Airport @ 5:20am.
Waited long at the Customs, and was unluckly to be stopped by the Officer to check my luggage.
Took the United Express, a small plane with only 15 rows of four seats each.
Landed at the San Francisco Domestic Airport three hours later.
Boarded a bus to the International Airport and had a great drive on the runways of the Airport.
Changed for some US currency to have my breakfast at this Japanese Restaurant in the Airport.
Went to this self automated machine to clear the US customs. Wondered why Singapore Passports cannot be scanned by the machine and needed manual keying in.
An almost ten hours flight to Tokyo Narita International Airport. Was lucky to have one of the seats empty for the flight.
Had Baileys Irish Cream and it brought back memories of the Staff Retreat at Rasa Sentosa where I had the first taste of it.
Had around three hours in Narita Airport. Met more Asians and felt closer to home.
Changed for Japanese yens and went for the last round of airport shopping.
Finally, used the last boarding pass and spent the last six hours plus on plane.
Reached Changi International Airport Terminal One @11:30pm 29/05/05.
Was home finally but strangely enough my Nokia Phone cannot swtich to the correct Singapore Time.
Drove to Changi Village for my Nasi Lemak.
Slept for almost 19 hours before I was clearly awake.
Home Sweet Home.
2005年5月27日星期五
sixth day
Decided to try the A&W Breakfast in the MacEwan Hall,
where the student centre was.
There were many stalls in this canteen which was rather crowded in meal hours.
All food were packed in huge packets and I had difficulty finishing
my Wan Ton Noodle Soup for lunch.
Was extremely delighted when I could find this Chinese Stall.
There were many Asians studying here, compared to only four Asians attending the Conference.
Toured around the Student Centre and was delighted to find hair salon, game arcade,
florist shop, a big photocopy centre, drinking lounge and etc.
Spent my free time in the Bookshop.
Took the train from the Banff Trail Station to Downtown after my Conference.
A two dollar ride one way, regardless of how many stops.
Shopped along the Seventh Avenue, though it was only Evening, not many shoppers were seen.
All the shopping centres were connected by linkways and that saved you trouble from walking in and out of the shopping centres.
Kept checking the watch for time as very often Iwas the only soul or one of the few shopping at each storey at a time.
Received the only call for this trip.Talked to you outside the Shopping Centres which faced the Train Station.
For the first time felt the distance and I was indeed far far away from home.
Had an aimless walk on the Stephen Avenue Walk.
It was supposed to be crowded but only a few were seen.
It was still broad day light but I felt unsafe.
Decided to take the train back when no taxis responded to my flag of hands.
Maybe it was back to Crowchild Trail, where my hotel was situated, I felt more at ease.
2005年5月26日星期四
fifth day
Strolled to the University
after an unfinished breakfast at Macdonald's.
Though the winds were strong, began to get used to it.
However, my ears were numbed and cold by the time
I reached the destination.
It reminded me of how people could lose one's ears unknowingly.
The first day of Conference, around 200+ turned up and I was one of the
few asians there.
The setting of the hall was not conference-like.
There wasn't enough lightings and air pipes were clearly seen.
Break out rooms were more furnished yet smaller than expected.
Met many and talked to many.
Most were Canadian, while others came from the States, New Zealand, China and Korea.
Was not used to the typical western meals provided, one salad, one main course and one dessert.
Almost died of too much cheese and salad and I actually finished one whole salmon.
Didn't finish the dinner, left most of the food untouched as I felt nauseous.
Afterall, am still very Chinese.
2005年5月25日星期三
我真的受伤了---张学友
音乐低声了,
我的心开始想你了。
电话响起了,
你要说话了,
还以为你心里对我有想念了,
怎么你声音变得冷淡了,
是你变了,是你变了。
灯光熄灭了,
音乐静止了,
滴下的眼泪已停不住了。
天下起雨了,
人是不快乐,
我的心真的受伤了。”
------看不到你,听不到你,感觉不到你。想你会想我吗?我真的很想你。
fourth day
As usual, woke up at wee hours.
Had Macdonald’s breakfast before the start
Of the trip to Drumheller, the home of the dinosaurs.
It was said that dinosaur bones were found there,
and now it is the world biggest dinosaur centre.
As we left Calgary, the fifth biggest city in Canada,
there were occasional showers.
Drumheller is a one and a half hour drive from Calgary
and driving on the roads in Canada is boring yet fascinating.
All you could see is a vast land with nothing but huge sky with
layers and layers of clouds and mountains of golden wheat fields.
It is amazing that you can find masses of land untouched by humans.
According to the guide, Calgary beat Singapore a few years ago to win
the cleanest and greenest city in the world.
Peter, the guide found it amazing that we need a passport to leave Singapore
to other countries of the world.
It is not surprising though, if Calagry is only a city of the province Alberta
and Alberta is equivalent to two and half Japan.
There were seven of us in the van, one from Australia, two from UK and two from
Scotland.
Jack said he went to Singapore in 1944 and Raffles Hotel was the main attraction there.
Josephine said Singapore is next in her list of countries to travel.
A small dot in the World Map and yet known to the many in the world,
shouldn't I be proud of my country?
Went to the Dinosaur Museum
and spent qualitative one and half hours there.
Went to other scenic areas like the horseshoe canyon, Orkney viewpoint, the suspension bridge, 11 bridges on the same river, not forgetting the largest dinosaur in the world.
Reached back at only six and I had to rush for the registration at the University.
Had a great dinner at this Vietnamese Restaurant as I had a craving for rice.
2005年5月24日星期二
发现
见证了贴心的默契,
爱,从期许到决定,
the best part of me,
只给你。
--------------------------------
偶尔我真的不懂你,又有谁真懂自己。
往往两个人有多甜蜜,是透过伤害来证明。
--------------------------------
你的爱,飞很远,
像候鸟看不见,
我含泪,面向着北边。
-------------------------------
望远镜看不见你,
你的心,飞去哪里?
闭上眼睛,却看见你,
想你的好,代替无力。
我相信你,却不相信自己。
别说对不起,别让我伤了心,
才说不是故意,
我却无法怪你,
我却只能爱你。
-------------------------------
我只怕时间恶作剧,
把今天变成曾经,
怂恿你把我忘记。
-------------------------------
我相信,我们未来的关系,
百分之百不会太容易。
我只所以没有多考虑,
爱你是冒险,冒险是乐趣。
-------------------------------
爱,为何你不在场。
-------------------------------
就算是寂寞也不理,
因为思念让爱零距离。
为了你,我愿意,
多用心照顾自己,
也请你别忘记,
我们和幸福有约定。
-------------------------------
我相信我和你一定会有结局,
任时光再侵袭,
拥抱一样坚定。
这世界有太多会消失的美丽,
但你是你,所以我相信。
-------------------------------
我愿意这条路和你相守相随,
你最珍贵。
third day
Nothing much happened today.
Woke up after long hours of sleep,
skipping my dinner.
Had a sumptuous breakfast buffet in the hotel,
the only meal I had today.
Walked to the University of Calgary,It was supposed to be a 10 min walk from the hotel,
and it turned out to be another 10 min more.
Reached the conference venues only after a 30 min walk,
guess I would certainly slim down by end of the conference.
It was colder than yesterday, reaching the maximum only at 17 degree Celsius,
the strong winds kept howling though it was sunny.
Chanced upon the last day of the Canadian Open Volleyball Championships
at the Olympic Oval(a stadium which was built for 1988 Winter Olympic Games)
in the University Campus.
A huge stadium where uncountable volleyball courts were set up for this one-month Carnival.
Watched a game or two, experiencing the Canadians' volleyball fever.
Today was Victoria Day, a public holiday where shops were either closed or closed early.
Day tours were not even available and had just need to rest in the hotel.
Was happy that Britney Spears sang " Everytime" the moment I switched on the TV,
a song that reminded me of someone special.

second day
Confused with the time,
Woke up when I should be sleeping,
Sleepy when I should be wide awake.
Went through all the brochures available,
And decided to go to the Canadian Olympic Park,
A place which held the 1988 Winter Olympic Games.
A summer season it should be but the temperature
Was only 10 degree Celsius.
Had breakfast at the MacDonald’s and
Took a 10 min cab there and joined the guided tour.
A huge place where you can see the ski jump,
skeleton, luge and bon sleigh track.
Were wearing three layers of clothes but people were in their
t shirts and shorts for mountain biking.
Alberta, the province I am in, had its province flag with many colours.
Blue sky with white clouds, golden wheat fields and white snow cap mountains paint the daily scenic setting this 100 year old province.
It was said the Queen would be coming here on the 24th to join in the celebration,
a timely visit for me, to witness this.
Went downtown, a dead place when it was a Sunday.Shops only opened @12pm and closed @5:30pm.
Went to the Calgary Tower, which was similar to the Sydney Tower.
Had a 360 view of whole Calgary and I must say the snow cap Rockies mountains were the most fascinating view.
Walked the way to Chinatown and had a late lunch at a Japanese restaurant.
Shopped a little in this two storey building where I bought my Momoe Yamaguchi's DVD.
Headed back to the hotel in the evening and slept for hours after eating my flu tablet.
Missed my dinner and was a little hungry while I was updating my blog.

Start of an adventure
Reached Hong Kong @10:30 am and spent some time locating the Disney tour in the airport which i went to when i was there in July 2004.
Continued the flight to Chicago for another 14 hours. Had snack, rest, ate chicken meat rice, rest, ate instant noodles, rest,
Listened to Mp3 players most of the time, the usual SHE songs accompanied me.
Upon reaching, one of the hydraulic engines malfunctioned and the plane needed to land earlier as usual. The thought of the traffic control tower people will be towing the plane after the plane landed immediately, people on board were excited and worried at the same time.
The custom duty officers were stern and all visitors needed to look into the camera eye and had both their right and left index finger put onto a sensor for record purpose. My right finger was too cold to be scanned and I was asked by this black custom officer to blow some hot air to it.
Didn't know i need to take out the laptop from my bag for x ray scans, not in Sigapore neither nor Hong Kong. Made this black lady custom officer a little mad and the other one handled my bag with so much care that as though i was one of the terrorists.
Met this charming 41 years old US military guy there and talked till we reached our specific gates. He said that the US custom officers seldom smile, unlike the Thais. He just came back from Thailand and he loves the place.
Waited for another one hour, before boarding the last plane to Canada, Calgary. Met two ladies who were on the same plane to Chicago in the toilet. Both talked to me, like a long lost friend. Maybe this is how you feel when you see familiar face in a foreign land. Though we never talk during the trip and were only on the same plane for 14 hours.
After 4 hours, finally reached Canada.
The customs officers here were friendly. Asked about the sunrise and sunset and this kind lady quickly checked the net for information. The day breaks @5:30 am (local time) and night falls only @9:30 pm. According to her, the longest day is on the 21/06/05.
Time here in Canada is 14 hours late.
I left on the 21/05 and when I reached here, it is still the 21/05.
Whoever sees this, I miss home.

写在临别前夕
那需要多少首?
所有的爱情只能有一首主题歌
你最后的选择会不会是我?
所有的故事只能有一个结果
你最后停靠的避风港是不是我?
************************
发现越来越沉默了。
当世界不会因我的安静而停止转动,
我选择做回以前的自己。
减少与人的交集,
我开始怀疑,
会不会有一天当我开口时,
已经失去说话的能力?
************************
我选择静静地来,悄悄地走,
这样也好。
至少对于爱我的人,
欠缺的感受不会那么深,
失去的痛苦也不会那么强烈。
也或许正是爱我的人,
不管是怎样的我,
你们都会用心去感受我的存在。
那是不是,
不管我留下或是离开,
只要心中有爱,
你们都不会把我忘记。

逃兵--给试着想开却始终放不下的你
蕴藏的是怎样的玄机
握得住的是他眉宇间的喜悦和伤悲
没有把握的依然是你七零八落的心情
没有开始的感情
总容易让人神往
也容易让人心伤
散落一地的恍惚和不安
只等待着他眼神的肯定
然而 回应你的
始终只有那似有却无 遥不可及的幸福
太大的想象空间
预言更多的难过和凄凉
永远不能改变的关系
是他给你的无期徒刑
在这条感情线上
你只能原地踏步
在他设限的关系里
品尝专属于逃兵的苦涩甜蜜

想念
从不回答的我,是怕说了,更加思念,更加不舍。
在离开的时候,悄悄嘱咐自己,
只要将回忆收藏好,放心地展开另一段旅程,
就是给大家最好的礼物。
在离开后的日子,纵然有再多的恋恋不舍,也得坚持到底。
声声的老师早,谢谢老师,都只能往回忆里找。
张张可爱的脸孔,美丽的笑容,却都还是那么熟悉。
问我想不想念?
从不回答的我,还是怕说了,更加思念,更加不舍。
------------------------------------------------
这些日子以来,只有那短短的半天,带给我最大的满足和快乐!
只有你们的吵吵闹闹,才能让生日更加圆满!
这样的绿,可以消失在我生活中,却一直植根在我生命里!

tsunami??--to my basketballers
it is left with only an empty shell.
after all these promises
it is the memories i can really rely on.
after all these ten years
i am only a failure to realise.
all my dreams and hopes
now seem so far away
as i see the tsunami waves within the hearts
breaking down the whole family
it is the worst disaster i can imagine
the most heartbreaking news i can hear
the most hurtful thing you can do

Yesterday Once More
Swollen was my left ankle after the fateful landing in the midst of a great game.
Dreadful were the days ahead where fun and laughter would be far away.
Praying, wishing, hoping for a speedy recovery
For I couldn't wait to carry out what I have thought, planned and promised.
Errrmmmm...can I be granted with one more wish?
No more sprain and no more fracture!
Honesty 18-11-00
To be honest and true to me
Like how you would be honest and true to yourself.
Am I asking more than I should? or should I lower my expectations?
The feeling of disappoinment was overwhelming
Maybe I should be more patient for I believe
Time should open your heart to me.
To my special angel-star 18-11-00
You tear again.
It has been long since we last chat.
Was that the you I know along or the new you?
Did the times share belong only to the past?
I hold you again.
It has been long since we last relate.
Was I the same old me or a total stranger?
I hold on still, would you?
Dream catcher 18-11-00
I have a dream catcher given by my angel.
Sweet dreams stay while nightmares vanish.
I am sheltered by this love, care and concern ever since.
But last night, my angel disappeared in the midst of crowds in a heavy rain.
I wonder has the catcher lost its power?
Sweet dreams stay while nightmares vanish.
My angel whispers into my ears, reassuring the love, care and concern.
I couldn't help but be touched
for I still have my dream catcher and of course my angel.
Missing you 21-11-00
Missing you, missing the old days, missing the happy times shared.
Is it more important now in making the present worthwhile than to miss it in the future?
Someone dear, someone precious, someone important comes along and stay.
Should I be contented or expect more than before to mould a perfect you in the future?
You touched me again with this true feelings of yours.
Only you can revive my emotions, my angel.
Ultimately, only missing you.
I wonder 23-11-00
I wonder,
Do words hurt or do they heal?
I have credited so much trust and belief in this joint account of ours.
Yet in the end
There is always an overdraft.
I wonder
Is it the end or a new beginning?
I have prayed so hard for development and continuity in this ship of ours.
Yet in the end
There is always a destruction.
Who 25-11-00
Who?
Who let the dogs out?
Who?
Who drinks only black coffee?
Who?
Who wants to dance all night long?
Who?
Who says that don't think I am not?
Who?
Who ever knows all these, I miss you!
Without you 27-11-00
Friday,
I put on a coat of red, covered myself with black and stay out late.
The first attempted contact failed destined the days ahead would be the same,
without you.
Saturday,
I rushed to the north, hurried to the south and ended in the east.
The fun, comfort and laughter generated were then only moments of happiness,
without you.
Sunday,
I played all roles, experienced all weathers, within the limited area.
The winning of your idol provided some comfort as I imagined your glowing smile,
without you.
If I were you 28-11-00
If I were you,
I would continue to love,
Even though roads are winding and heartbreaking are never ending.
If I were you,
I would continue to love,
For only love can do wonders and spice up life with meanings.
If I were you,
I would continue to love,
Be it forbidden love or deserved love.
If I were you,
I would still believe in love
but I can never be you,
and you would never know I have loved you all along.
TIme capsule 06-12-00
There is always a part of me with you.
Time may fade off memories,
But you will always remain real and true.
Knowing the egoism of me inside,
Will lock you in this time capsule of mine.
In years to come,
Before I die.
Your passion and love would come alive,
upon the reopening of this time capsule of mine.
Seeing me through the end of time.
Crosses 14-12-00
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx You drew me dozens of crosses
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A Brand New Start
don't have the slightest idea
but guaranteed countless challenges
feeling like a newly graduate
waiting to unveil layers of this profound world
not lost but a little unsure
just need time to adjust
to a new phase without any green in my life
