<< 最重要的決定 >>

詞:姚若龍 曲:陳小霞

我常在想應該再也找不到
任何人像你對我那麼好
好到我的家人也被照料
我的朋友還為你撐腰

你還是有一堆毛病改不掉
拗起來氣得仙女都跳腳
可是人生完美的事太少
我們不能什麼都想要

你是我最重要的決定
我願意 每天在你身邊甦醒
就連吵架也很過癮 不會冷冰
因為真愛沒有輸贏 只有親密

你是我最重要的決定
我願意 打破對未知的恐懼
就算流淚也能放晴 將心比心
因為幸福沒有捷徑 只有經營

<< For One More Day >>

"You count the hours you could have spent with your mother. It's a lifetime in itself."

"It's such a shame to waste time. We always think we we have so much of it."

"The more you defend a lie, the angrier you become."

"Belief, hard work, love - you have those things, you can do anything."

"While something is happening, something is always happening somewhere else."

<< Tuesdays with Morrie >>

"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. you want to do one thing, but you're bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted."

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in."

"Let it come in. We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, Love is the only rational act."

"The culture doesn't encourage you to think about such things until you're about to die. We're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks - we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, 'is this all? is this all i want? is something missing?"

"You need someone to probe you in that direction. It won't just happen that way."

"Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it." "Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."

"If you really listen to that bird on your shoulder, if you accept that you can die at any time - then you might not be as ambitious as you are."

"Even I don't know what spiritual development really means. But i do know we're deficient in some way. We're too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted."

"The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family."

"Love each other or perish."

"There is no experience like having children. There's no substitute for it. You cannot do it with a friend. You cannot do it with a lover. If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn how to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children."

At 78, he was giving as an adult and taking as a child.

"I am talking to you. I am thinking about you."

"So many people with far smaller problems are so self-absorbed, their eyes glaze over if you speak for more than thirty seconds. They already have something else in mind - a friend to call, a fax to send, a lover they're daydreaming about. They only snap back to full attention when you finish talking, at which point they say 'uh-uhh' or 'yeah, really' and fake their way back to the moment."

"Everyone is in such a hurry. People haven't found meaning in their lives, so they're running all the time looking for it. They think the next car, the next car, the next house, the next job. Then they found those things are empty, too, and they keep running."

"I think marriage is a very important thing to do, and you're missing a hell of a lot if you don't try it."

"Don't let go too soon, but don't hang on too long."

"Death ends a life, not a relationship."

My LoMo Experience

My first film with my Diana Mini was a total disaster... i've never seen photos so distorted before. here are some of the few more 'acceptable' ones to me, and perhaps, not to you hahaha...

In Bukit Tinggi the place we went for a breeze walk after the final exam of year 4:







Levain, one of the places we celebrated my 23rd bday:



the interior was exotic and flattering. too bad you cant see it now, the result of not
having 'flash' for my lil Diana. perhaps i shall consider to buy one. these are some of
the 'romantic' flash-less photos taken:




Other slightly out-of-focus photos taken in inexperienced hands like mine and few more friends:





And of course, there are many more 'markedly' out-of-focus photos that i did not post here, but kept unexposed in my CD. they are jus too disastrous to be displayed here, and i shall just bury them forever, or else all other lomo fans will be resenting me for misusing the world-hit camera =)
