    Where I am gona to land

    Love is not rude.
    Love does not demand its own way.
    Love is not irritable.
    Love keeps no record of when it has been wronged. Why it did not work for me?

    Alcohal Dip

    still can't drink at all
    just tried 2 shots of vodka & gin tonic
    the world at my feet began to revolve
     
    didn't get a chance to get away during the holiday
    when everyone is back to work
    its my turn to be outbound for a breath
    always like this, different from everybody else
     
    never regret what I hv done in the past whole yr, although it was labelled as a pitiful waste in many people's eyes
     
    I let too many good opportunities slippering through my fingers and left myself nothing but deep pain
    And the danger is that can't stop torturing myself to give it a go
    I couldn't be clearer about what I should do
    but emotionally glued in that stupid way

    C' est La Vie

    When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations,
    it's not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end.

    Amar Completamente

    We can all relate to the desire to find Mr or Ms Right. It’s almost a cultural obsession. But unfortunately the search for the perfect person to fix us is one of our biggest psychic wounds and one of the ego’s most powerful delusions.

     

    Often we long for another person because, in an invisible, intangilble realm, we’re still communicating, still connecting, still seeking resolution. Peope will say,”You’re being neurotic. It’s time to let go.”But there was a time when widows wore weeds for a year; grief was understood,acknowledged, validated. It’s not neurotic to grieve a relationship; what’s neurotic is when we don’t. On some level, no matter how disassociated from our feelings we might be, every relationship brings hope-hope that this might be a safe place, a haven, a rest after all our battles.

     

    When a relationship doesn’t work out, for whatever reason, our disappointment is natural. Every intense encounter represents a deep and complicated karmic connection.An ending relationship is much like a death, and in many cases the sadness is even greater. When someone has died, there has often been completion and understanding that doesn’t occur when both people are alive but have separated without higher awareness. Perhaps the one we love is simply on the other side of the city with someone else now, yet they are really universes away since the resolution we so crave has not occurred. There’s no need to pretend this isn’t a knife to the heart. It is , and there’s nothing to do but cry the tears that gush forth like blood from a wound.

     

    When emotional knives hit the heart, walls crumble that didn’t belong there to begin with. We can learn what is illusion and what is real. When we can’t be softened by our tears. We can learn that idols can never ever be trusted, and we can learn about a love that never, ever leaves.

     

    Puisque c'est l'amour.

    Vu d'Ici

    Hv been stuck in a hole for long without rhyme or reason and so many things are getting overlooked. Sometimes feel that hv gone through the thick and thin and phased into nature. But actually still caught entangled in worldy things.

     

    The past couple of months saw me falling sick and tired of being depressed about u wildly. And I realize that no amount for false conviction can keep me away from the inevitable slide into a measured blast for all the intensity and duration of being paranoid.

      

    Hope u can get settled and stay free in Seattle for a while. Really miss everything there, even the percolated coffee in the hotel room.

    Pleure mon cœur lorsque tu t'en vas

    Tout l'temps pour lui
    Je dépense mon temps

    Je dépense ma vie ...

    J'ai appris de lui
    La souffrance et l'envie

    Ce désordre des sens

    L'indécence 

    Et le cœur A tordre

    Même s'il m'aime par à-coups 

    Si j'suis pour lui qu'une page 

    Un peu d'son paysage

    Je pense à lui malgré tout

    En silence

    Sans violence 

    Aussi

    Avec violence

     

    Trop de souvenirs 
    De reve et de soupirs
     

    Trop de jours a pensera toi
     


    Trop de jalousies
     

    Trop de melancolies
     

    Trop de nuits bien trop loin de toi
     


    Peut-etre avons nous bien trop espere

    Ou bien, c’est la chance que nous a manque


    Trop de desespoirs
     

    Peut-etre trop d'espoir
     

    D'inventer un amour nouveau
     


    Trop de mefiance
     

    Ou bien trop de confiance
     

    Dans la magie de quelques mots
     


    Peut-etre est-ce moi qui me suis trompee

    En croyant toujours te garder
     


    L'amour c'est comme ça!
     

    Un jour ça s'en va
     

    Ca vous laisse la
     

    Sans savoir pourquoi
     


    L'amour c'est cruel
     

    Comme une fille trop belle
     

    Qui vous fait marcher
     

    Pour mieux s'amuser
     


    Trop de souvenirs
     

    Qui viennent me mentir
     

    Comme si tu etais toujours la
     


    Trop de certitudes
     

    De tendres habitudes
     

    Qu'il y avait entre toi et moi
     


    Tout ces petits rien qui vont nous manquer

    Toutes ces petites choses qu'on nomme "regrets"


    L'amour c'est comme ça
     

    Ca vous fait rever
     

    Et quand ça s'en va
     

    Ca vous fait pleurer
     


    L'amour c'est idiot
     

    Ca ne sert a rien
     

    On a le coeur gros

    On a du chagrin

    사랑,미치도 아파서

    The nasty weather totally flipped me out and almost pushed me through over to the other side of the edge especially at this time. But eventually it cleared up. Life always presents us with both like this.

     

    In order to cheer myself up a bit and get my erection back, I spent a whole day trying out all the best cafés again by myself from the Bund No.1, the Red House, Park Hotel, Jinjiang Tower, Purple Mountain Hotel, the Binjiang No.1, Henglong Plaza, Portman to Donut King in the Jinan Park. I guess I do have special affiliation to the above places with particular feelings and memories to some extent.

     

    Luckily I am not stuck with a lousy husband and one or two kids to take care off or from another perspective, relatively my parents are not so old-fashioned or narrow-minded to open up for new stuff as to interfere with all my matters by traditional Chinese norms. At this point, I feel grateful to my parents, although through consecutive rounds of confrontations and fights, we are all finally learning how to maneuver with all the tricky disagreements and keep our opinions to ourselves from intruding them directly onto the others and find out the best way to keep the botton line with each other at the optimum distance in case any tense or war may be triggered out so badly that boundary might be broken out and territory flattened away. As a result we are all leant to be very cautious to all the details to avoid running the risk of a catastrophic collapse of diplomatic communication.

     

    Everyone has been so busy at work and I seem to be the only one to take a break from things. It sounds unbelievable, but it does happen. It is rarely difficult to see me have the tendency to settle down or even just stay with one thing for long because I am not the settling down type. Whatever the end results, I will never hesitate to go for sth that I want . Once I determined, I will stick it out to the very end and never afraid to lose anything. But I sense myself lose the ability how to solve problems and manage myself now.

     

    Z flew off to San Francisco yesterday and won’t be back at least in 3 weeks. Steven is on his business trip in Australia and will head off to NY next week and probably gonna drop by to say hi during the second half of FY09. We always narrowly missed each other and never got a chance to catch up. Haflidi has travelled back to Iceland with Bea to see his family and I won’t see them until the end of May. Angelo is enjoying his vacation back in Italy. His vacation lasts so long this time and has been out of touch since Christmas. Frank must still be mad at me and try to cut me out of his life because I walked away from a fantastic senior job position from a notable British investment company without a second thought when everybody else was elbowing their way through to it and he is exactly my associate. Ben is leaving for Spain pretty soon. Ren is at rest from work after the surgery. V is the only one in my company at the moment. Without her I can’t imagine how I could go through it and survive to take a breath. You just finished all your business meetings in NY today and should be scheduled to LA tomorrow, but not for sure when will return.

     

    I wish I could be tough at heart, a little bit more flirtatious and did not take life too seriously. Things of the heart are never easy to go. If I am not comfortable with it now, I don't think I will be comfortable with it in the future. There might be few things we can change and adapt in this world, but not that much. Nothing can be more pathetic to live on intermittent pieces of dreadful memories you try not to remember by force at the same time.

     

    너의 하루에 나란 없겠지
    추억조차 없겠지만
    너만 바라만 보고있는
    자꾸 눈물이 흐르고있어
    너의 모습 보는것도 행복이야
    아직 나의 마음을 몰라도
    끝내 스치듯이 가도
    하나밖에 모르고
    다른 사람을 보고있는
    이런 마음 모르겠지
    니가 너무 보고싶은 날엔
    너무 견디기 힘든 날에는
    너를 사랑한다 입가에 맴돌아


    햇살에 눈이 부신
    싱그런 아침이 오면

    사랑에 눈을뜨며 노랠 해요

    오직 그대 하나만 위해서

    설레이는 가득해

    향기로운 커피보다 부드러운

    숨결로 그대를 보아요

    아나요 그대는 느끼죠 그대도


    사랑,미치도 아파서

    Slow Dance

     
    Have you ever watched kids

    On a merry-go-round?

    Or listened to the rain

    Slapping on the ground?

    Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?

    Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

    You better slow down.

    Don't dance so fast.

    Time is short.

    The music won't last..

    Do you run through each day on the fly?

    When you ask How are you?

    Do you hear the reply?

    When the day is done

    Do you lie in your bed

    With the next hundred chores

    Running through your head?

    You'd better slow down

    Don't dance so fast.

    Time is short.

    The music won't last long.



    Ever told your child,

    We'll do it tomorrow?

    And in your haste,

    Not see his sorrow?

    Ever lost touch,

    Let a good friendship die

    Cause you never had time

    To call and say,'Hi'

    You'd better slow down.

    Don't dance so fast.

    Time is short.

    The music won't last long.


    When you run so fast to get somewhere

    You miss half the fun of getting there.

    When you worry and hurry through your day,

    It is like an unopened gift....

    Thrown away.

    Life is not a race.

    Do take it slower

    Hear the music

    Before the song is over.

    Not Mean to Smile

     
    I shouldn't have got lost in the thick of thin things
     
    Pull myself back from things that distract me too much
     
    Be like the lotus flower
     
    Keep my beautiful head above water
     
    and don't get entangled in worldly things.

    dancing with life

    From the very depths of darkness
    springs a bright and living light
    out of faulsehood and deceit
    a greater truth is brought to sight
    in the halls of death, defiant,
    life is dancing with delight!

    Moments being touched

     
    A wild horse, never to be tamed
     

    You remind me of a monteblanc pen I have and how good I feel holding it in my hand and the power it gives me and stimulates me too.

     

    I need you so much it hurts.

     

    ....you filled me with a level of passion I have never experienced before my heart was racing and my head spinning....how can someone make me act like a crazy guy ?? I have no answer!

     

    I never set out to have this rainbow of emotions and it has come as a real shock to me and I just don’t know how to handle such a situation as this is very new to me.

     

    I love you more than you know. I adore you.

     

    Just be safe traveling home.

     

    I can’t get you out of my mind as you are locked in my heart.

     

    Bored and lonely off to get drunk to ease my pain.

     

    I felt love today guess it is a problem.

     

    You are my number 1.

     

    An open mind wins all.

     

    I was thinking about you and could smell you. In my mind I could taste your body and your heart beat on my chest.

     

    Well you will never say what you meant to say.

     

    a lovely thought , a tender moment

     

    You are defensive and block the unknown.

     

    Your body tells the truth to your emotions and inner feelings but your mouth and actions fight it

     

    I do love you and wanted to read your book and write more chapters

     

    Take your silence as no.

     

    You are mine and I don’t share u ever.

     

    My love is there for u to take. You just have to want it bad enough.

     

        

    ....stop stop over reacting to issues this only continues to show your inexperience to cope with stress and pressure and has to be corrected quickly.....

    Also insulting me when I was pushing you in an excercise to establish your limitations.


    Just focus on being a normal young lady and stop chasing career options till you make corrections

    One thing is clear you have to make major changes to stand any chance of making it into the big time jobs.

    Stop being so obsessive about your career. It is bringing you down and a destructive energy.

    My comment was based on experience. But I guess being bossed as you put it may prevent me from adding value to you.

    The hard work is still ahead.

    I need to see your lust side and soon.

    Grumpy

    Don’t hold on to the past if you want to be prepared for the future.

    No more words as the lack of movement from you is getting me confused more each day and it hurts me deeply. Best I just walk away now to avoid more pain.

    My communications with you are so important but you seem to see me as forcing you when if I was important this would not be an issue.

    I am not fighting with you all the time.

     

    You need support but are too proud to ask !  I worry because you are very exposed to enter into the business world and if I can see this, so can your interview panel.


    All I have done was to take your hand and show you or fill in gaps in your skills to prepare you properly and wisely for the future but you just don’t understand how difficult you are making it for me.


    If you know your gaps then let’s work together to fill in the blanks and move on.


    Moving on with such obvious gaps serves no purpose without good foundations any building will fall down.

    This is what I'm trying to ensure for you is achieved.

     

    So much ahead of you with exciting things to come. What will be your next moves now.

     

    Be patience. Something will come your way. You are so good at being positive and not letting the setbacks affect you too much. One day you will be good at running a business because you are doing it effectively now, performing marketing and sales duties where your commodity is yourself. I admire you for that.

    Hedging my bets

    Who else could smooth my sorrows?

    Who else could heal my wounds?

    Who else could drive away my fears?

     

    To the hungry soul,

    to the weary rest,

    Who could make the wounded spirit whole and calm the troubled breast?

     

    The rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place,

    my never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace.

     

    Weak is the effort of my heart and cold my warmest thought.

     

    Till then I would thy love proclaim with every fleeting breath,

    and may the music of thy name refresh my soul in death.

    Alone

    What they are saying is that
    there is life there as well;
    that the universe is the size
    it is to enable us to catch up.
     
    The dinosaurs have gone their way into the dark.
    The time-span of their hunman counterparts is shortened;
    everything on this shrinking planet favours the survival of the small people,
    whose horizons are larger
    only because they are content to look at them from their own hills.
     
     
    They have gone on from the human being;
    that shining is a reflection of their intelligence.
    Godhead is the colonisation by mind of untenanted space.
     
    It is its own light,
    a statement beyond language of conceptual truth.
    Every night is a rinsing myself of the darkness
    that is in my veins.
     
    I let the stars inject me with fire,
    silent as it is far,
    but certain in its cauterising of my despair.
     
    I am a lonely explorer,
    but there is more than time to arrive.
    Resting in the intervals of my breathing,
    I pick up the signals relayed to me from a periphery I comprehend.
    December 04

    wave

    Another wave,
    another lurch of my heart.
    I felt a quickening.
    Slowly at first, then with increasing momentum, you popped in upright.
     
    You have read the signs with me.
    Recently I have been haunted with too much of olden times, my girlhood, my parents, my leaving friends and classmates.
     
    You knew that my heart was sair, and that the pain smouldering here would burst out.
     
    Memories have filled my soul with melancholy,
    too strong for me,
    and just came between me and the future.
     
    The tree that moves some to tears of joy is , in the eye of others,
    only a green thing that stands in the way.

    wave away my past year

    Whenever I look up at Arthur’s Seat, the extinct volcano that stands watch over Edinburgh, I’m reminded how special this place is. What other city in the world so embraces its own mountain? Fine, there’s Rio de Janeiro and Cape Town, but that’s about it.

     

    The heart of Edinburgh is perched on a plug of carboniferous lava. How amazing could that be? And when you are up on the castle hill, you are surrounded by green hills and blue sea in almost every direction unless there is a haar, in which case you’ll be lucky to see your hand in front of your face. Such a kind of sense of never being too far away from nature, however, permeates the city.

     

    If you lift your eyes in even the most depressed suburb, there is always a glimpse of sth vaguely rural. Don’t forget that Edinburgh is where trainspotting was set; it is not all tea shops and tartan.

     

    The centre is small enough to negotiate on foot and there’s never a feeling of being swamped by a huge metropolis. Glasgow may have more and better shops, but only Edinburgh has Harvey Nichols within 10 minutes’ walk of TK Maxx, and only it has dared to keep the development of its main shopping street reined in by beautiful gardens, so your retail experience can be accompanied by daffodils, blossom or fairy lights, depending on the time of year.

     

    Many cities could be sprawling, anonymous beasts. Glasgow is great, but it reminds of other places: Liverpool and Newcastle etc spring to my mind.

     

    I should have rhapsodized about the galleries, architecture, museums, arts companies and the world-class cultural life this city can boast, but to be honest, although they might enhance our life immeasurably, I’m not experiencing them all the time. Okay, it could be important to others that they have the opportunity to go to the theatre, concert,gig, night club, watch sport almost any night the week, visit a Michelin-starred restaurant or take my toddler to marvel at our Dynamic Earth whenever the mood takes them. Even not as a local resident, these are just the icing on the cake.

     

    Whether that’s to do with the bijou size of the city or the fact that its reputation for bing snooty is total mince, its glorious history and beauty, its botanic garden, Cramond harbour, Jenners’ Christmas tree, the ice cream and Coke float at Vittoria’s restaurant are always so fascinating. But even if it were not, it would also be tolerable because every August the rest of the world comes to you.

     

    Although it is renowned as Britain’s supreme location, what really matters to me more is that it is the place where I could capture the gleaming shadows of Shanghai more or less in some way, together with my unforgettably splendid memories of RBS Gogarburn Campus Head Office, Communication Groups, Level 2 and Standard Life, Asia- Pacific Strategy Department on George Street and Lothian Road.

    Lightening up your life

        

    Be impeccable with your word

    Speak with integrity. Say what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

     

    Don’t take anything personally

    Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

     

    Don’t make assumptions

    Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

     

    Always do your best

    Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstances, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgement, self-abuse and regret.

    Almost Over You

     

    I saw an old friend of ours today

    She asked about you

    I didn't quite know what to say

     

    Heard you've been making your rounds round here

    While I've been trying to make tears disappear

     

    Now I'm almost over you

    I've almost shook these blues

     

    So when you come back around after painting the town

    You'll see I'm almost over you

     

    You're such a sly one with your cold

    Cold heart

     

    Maybe leaving came easy

    But it tore me apart

     

    Time heals all wounds they say and I should know

    Cause it seems like forever

    But I'm letting' you go

       

    I can forgive you and soon I'll forget all my shattered dreams

    Although you left me with nothing to show

    Full of misery
