What to blog?

A few more hours to 2008. To be exact, 7.5hrs to 2008.

Whats the difference except that we will all have to start writing '08' intead of '07'?

Had a meeting two days ago. Alot of us shared that 2007 was a tough, difficult, stretching year for each one of us. One of them shared that he is hoping that 2007 can quickly finish and start a new year afresh. I was just pondering on this statement these few days.

Do we really need to wait for a new year to start afresh?
After 5,4,3,2,1... its just another normal day.
The difference between the old year and the new year is just merely 1sec.
Is there a need to reserve the decision of starting anew for 4days?
Does it mean that i can allow myself to fail and continue to live a difficult live in these four days before the new year come? or is there something magical going to happen when the clock strikes twelve?

This is the mindset that everyone embraced worldwide. Even me, yea, i got to admit. Wait till new year, then i will do this and that. Wait till new year then i will set my goals afresh... to some, new year resolution is almost the same every year. What is new? Perhaps on a personal level, nothing is new.

Everyone pays more attention to A NEW YEAR because it happens every YEAR. but no one pay attention to A NEW DAY, because it happens every DAY. We have been taking A NEW DAY for granted, because we meet one everyday. But it is the new day that brings us to the new year. So, i think we should start afresh every day, have our goals renewed everyday, decide to change everyday rather than after the count down, anticipating change.

It is quite amazing that i blog so much.
i have no inspiration and much thoughts to blog today.
Just felt that i should blog on the last day of the year, like i always do.
Surprising, once i start typing, thoughts just flow through. i like it.
I like to have my thoughts organised and expounded.
I am happy that i managed to published some overdue blogs before the year ends today.

Happy New Year!
2008 is going to be my greatest year!
Just wait and see!

A prayer

The word of the Lord came to me today during worship.

1. Courage to lead
2. Boldness to validate
3. Authority to influence

The Man's Woman

He's hurt. My tears flowed once i saw the message.
He didn't. "Everything is alright." he said, bracing the front and carried on.

For that moment, the word came flesh to me, "you are the bone of my bones, the flesh of my flesh." Indeed God created woman out of man's left rib. Woman, completes the man, vice versa.

Without knowing the whole epsoide, i can feel his hurts explicity. He didn't cry. Instead, i cried on his behalf. I cried his grieves out. This closeness that we shared, the access to each other's feelings, makes me love him even more...

....an excerpt from 'The Woman'

一千年以后

因为在一千年以后
世界早已没有我
无法深情挽着你的手
浅吻着你额头
别等到一千年以后
所有人都遗忘了我
那时红色黄昏的沙漠
能有谁解开缠绕千年的寂寞
--------------------------------

人，会面临绝种。
对，是你和我。
因为世上只有一个你。
你是独一无二的。

身旁的朋友有些已离开了人世。
当一个人走的时候，世界并没有因此而停止转动， 人们也没因此停下脚步。
明天依然会来到，日子依然得过。
世界是残酷的，没有同情心的，不是吗？

上帝才给我们两个东西 - 时间和遗忘。
时间能冲淡一切，人们会渐渐遗忘。
不是遗忘那回忆，而是遗忘那伤痛，那悲伤。。
然后用时间来弥补那残酷，这样我们才能从新面对人生，面对不会再有你习惯的人在身旁的日子。

日子会不一样。但有多好，就看自己怎样去面对。

生命每一秒都在改变。好好的珍惜你的人生和周围的人吧！

-------------------------------------------------------------------

当我死了以后，把我化成灰，洒在大海里吧。
因为唯一我去不了的地方就是海底里。
记忆里有我就好，不需要每次去扫墓。

Music & Lyrics

Music and Lyrics. Which one decides the quality of a song?

Some says Lyrics. No matter how nice the melody is, if the lyrics has no meaning, there is not depth in the song, hence it is not a good piece of composition.

But without a nice melody, it cant bring out the 'feel' of the lyrics. I love the liberty of freedom. Perhaps that is why i like classical music. It has no lyrics, its up to me to create a story out of it. It is MY STORY.

But without a good lyrics, it sort of like 'downgrade' the song. However, even if the lyrics is nice and the music sucks, its not a good piece either. Contradicting right? Well, i guess.. beauty is really in the eye of the beholder.

Good music needs good lyrics.
Good lyrics needs good music.

Sounds like lyrics is the man. Logical, straight forward.
Music is the woman. Feels alot, lots of mood.
And when a good music merge with a good lyrics, it is a good composition.

The composer will be God.

曾经

因为过去，才为了未来而活得更灿烂
------------------------------
曾经，同住一屋延下的我们，
现在已各有自己的“小天堂”
天下总有不散的延席
人生毕竟得经历悲欢离合
长大了，各有各的生活要去过
各有各的梦想要去追。
在追着梦的当儿
也许会忘了与对方谈心，从溫旧梦
慢慢的，感情变淡了
见了面，好象没什么话题可谈得上了。。

一切得从哪儿开始的？
或，一切是从哪儿停止的？
熟悉不知不觉停留在那里
让陌生静悄悄的慢慢成长
拉长了距离。。。
这是一生的遗憾。

当我门同在一起

你，我，他，她都过着不同的生活。
你有你的故事，你的历史
我有我的童年，我的往事
他有他的过去，他的理想
她有她的回忆，她的执擆
当你我他她相遇，建立了一个共同的乐园，社区，社会，国都
有了共同的故事，这就是你我他她的开始。

每个人的背后，都有一段影片在放映
即使是活在现在，曾经好的，坏的，
都是靠（现在）我们对突来的事件所做的反应而定。
