Love At First Sight 一见钟情

they're both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
such certainty is more beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.


since they'd never met before, they're sure
that there'd been nothing between them.
but what's the word from the streets, staircases, hallways--
perhaps they've passed by each other a million times?

i want to ask them
if they don't remember--
a moment face to face
in some revolving door?
perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd?
a curt "wrong number"caught in the receiver?--
but i know the answer.
no, they don't remember.

they'd be amazed to hear
that chance has been toying with them
now for years.

not quite ready yet
to become their destiny,
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
it barred their path,
stifling a laugh,
and then leaped aside.

there were signs and signals,
even if they couldn't read them yet.
perhaps three years ago
or just last tuesday
a certain leaf fluttered
from one shoulder to another?
something was dropped and then picked up.
who knows, maybe the ball that vanished
into childhood's thicket?

there were doorknobs and doorbells
where one touch had covered another
beforehand.
suitcases checked and standing side by side.
one night. perhaps, the same dream,
grown hazy by morning.

every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.

一见钟情

他们彼此深信
是瞬间迸发的热情让他们相遇
这样的确定是美丽的
但变幻无常更为美丽
他们素未谋面
所以他们确定彼此并无任何瓜葛
但是自街道、楼梯、大堂
传来的话语......
他们也许擦肩而过100万次了吧
我想问他们是否记得
在旋转门面对面那一刹
或是在人群中喃喃道出的对不起
或是在电话的另一端道出的打错了
但是我早知道答案
是的
他们并不记得
他们会很讶异
原来缘分已经戏弄他们多年
时机尚未成熟
变成他们的命运
缘分
将他们推进
距离
阻挡他们的去路
忍住笑声
然后闪到一旁

P/S: I read this from my MSN space, still love this poem very much, so I repost it~ Hope u guys like it too~

一场美梦

人际关系越变越复杂，
跟童年的 [不要跟你好]
形成了强烈的对比，
于是我不能不开始怀疑，
小时候与朋友的相爱，
还有热诚相待，
真是一场美梦。

Wish you happy always~

One of my friends walked into marriage last two months. I called to say congratulations.

She told me she was a bit nervous because she did not want to end her single life like this. 

She afraid her boyfriend is not her ultimate Mr. Right. 

However, her boyfriend's parents would like them to marry as quickly as possible.

His parents want to see their grandchildren before they are dead. 

It is kind of weird to hear this. Hello, now is 21st century already, why these old people never give up to force their children producing babies.

Her husband did not know that she had been avoiding conception.

After she married, her husband was so keen to populate the planet as soon as possible. I laughed when I heard this, sorry^^

I did not know how to give comments on this issue, so I tried my best to let her feel that she was exactly at the right position now.

Yesterday, I received a call from her again. She said she is so happy since she married to XX.

I truly can feel her excitement and happiness through her voice. 

I am so glad that she finally got what she wants.

This shows that marriage is not necessary a grave to everyone.

Hahaha, I know somebody is broody now.

Wish you happy happy always.

He is a good guy, don't miss it.~

总要有一个人出来当坏人，那就让我当吧！

你看过一种人吗？
他想尽办法讨好别人
他想所有人都赞同他
他利用他聪明的脑筋和费尽唇舌
说是非和投诉是他的强项
流眼泪更是他的必杀技
演技一流不在话下
是人是鬼，傻傻分不清楚

可能他并没有那么可恶
这些都是我主观的想法

但是我在他身上只是看到这些      而已！！

同情他吧！！他看起来就是如此的可怜！！！！

总要有一个人出来当坏人，那就让我当吧！！

我不想当绵羊

你知道吗？

我快撑不住了，我需要勇气，很大很大的勇气！！！！！！！！！！！
我就快要脑死了，快来救我出深渊吧！！！！！

这几天胸口都是闷闷的，有说不出闷气。
今天下午有轻微地中暑了一下。
看着书，字又进不到脑。
脾气又暴躁，很想找人来骂骂。
又没有心情保养皮肤。
很讨厌啊！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！

我不知道我要什么，正在找什么。。。为什么人生那么不顺的？？！！
你知道吗？

Do not stand at my grave and weep

If you follow the news on the death of nine tourists in Manila, I think you might have the same feeling as I....heartbroken. People from Hong Kong and China are extremely angry at the way Philippines handling this case. They are stupid and brainless. And their unplanned action resulted the death of the tourists.

The former policeman became a kidnapper and hijacked a bus full of tourists??!! How ridiculous is that!!! Moreover, he was removed by the police in January on charges of extortion and threatening drug dealers. He demanded so he could be reinstated in the police in exchange for the tourists' release.
How on earth this kind of stupid drama could ever happen??!!

Nine passengers have been killed and six injured.
Four broken families.
A husband sacrificed himself in protecting his wife.
Two children lost their parents.

When I become speechless?? Ya, when these things happen, I become speechless.
..............................................................................

All of all, it reminds me a poem.


Do not stand at my grave and weep,



I am not there, I do not sleep.


I am in a thousand winds that blow,


I am the softly falling snow.


I am the gentle showers of rain,


I am the fields of ripening grain.


I am in the morning hush,


I am in the graceful rush


Of beautiful birds in circling flight,


I am the starshine of the night.


I am in the flowers that bloom,


I am in a quiet room.


I am in the birds that sing,


I am in each lovely thing.


Do not stand at my grave and cry,


I am not there. I do not die.
 
 
If I were their friends, I don't know what to say to comfort them, so I dedicate this poem to them.
If I were one of them, I will never laugh again in my life. I will definitely be sent to the mental hospital and live like a living corpse.
I have no ideas how other people can go through this kind of disaster.
Nothing could bring them back together anymore. Even God.
 I hope the people around them will give them strength and help them to become stronger in the coming days.
Just like what the poem said, they do not die and they are living in their heart forever and ever.
 
But still, heartbroken.

Guests in my life

After my graduation, I headed to Seremban to find my cousins. Along the journey, many things flashed over my mind. Mr.Paul lectures, critical thinking classes, Ms. Yoges, assignments, course mates, PC foods, before Jaya One was built, church mates, Jesus Christ, roommates and etc. I was so quiet and sitting there seeing the view outside the train, just like my memory, moving very fast and unreachable.



I hate to say goodbye. Although the relationships among our course mates are not very close but having them in my life just like breathing, you don’t feel it but it is very important.


I know definitely I will keep in touch with some of them like Jane, Ceek Chean, Enyi, Vinu, Kung, Darren and King. But the others….unlikely. When I looked into YZ’s eyes and said ‘Keep In Touch’, I know that would be the last word that I ever said to her. Pity human, pity friendship and pity me. I am trying so hard to catch the bond that holding us together but finally it was broken. Maybe we just need to let some of our ‘guests’ to move on in our life.


Maybe we are not going to meet in the future but anyway I want to say thank you for leaving your footsteps in my heart. Much appreciated.
