My deepest concern

Ever since I returned to my homeland for CNY celebration, I realised something that concerned me so much, thus making me worried for the worst to come.

It is about one of the ladies I love the most in my entire life, she's my grandmother, the mother of my mother. I started to get worried as she's getting more forgetful and losing her memories slowly. She doesn't remember what she has done even though it happened just a while ago. 

Sometimes we have to face the truth that the elders's abilities are getting deteriorated when the youngsters have become grown up. Remember this when you're treating the elders:

Be patient with them whenever they get clumsy and careless. They were patient with us when we were clumsy and careless kids before. 

Speak politely with them like how they spoke to us when we were kids before. It's not their willingness to forget things and therefore don't push all the blames on the elders.

Appreciate and love them more as time never waits for regrets and second chance. Every day is a blessing for the elders and we should feel happy for them.

Spend as much time you can with them, because they need listeners, not just a TV set to fill up their daily routine. The elders are humans too, so they need communications and interactions with the family and anyone to keep their mind alive and fresh.

It's inevitable that my grandma is going through the early stage of Alzheimer's disease. This truth pains my heart deeply as I'm so fearful that she might not recognize my face sometimes in future. 

What I can do the best is to spend more time with her chatting and loving her more.

How about you? Do you ever pay attention to your elders? Do not wait for the moments of regretting.

Arrival of the Dragon

A new cycle of Chinese lunar new year is finally here, with the dragon being the host of the year. It also indicates I'm turning 24 years old in this very good year.

As we getting grown up and matured eventually, the age of 24 is the beginning of planning the best life and future for ourselves. Every single decision made will affect how we walk in future, which could determine the success or failure for the rest of our life. No more naive and innocent thoughts like we had in our childhood and teenage, as we have to face the reality and truth. 

Do not stop your life for something or someone that do not give a damn on you. Just move on and bring along everything that cares about you and the other way around. It sounds simply cruel but life is short to care about things that leave you nothing but painful and sour memories. 

Enjoy life while planning carefully what is the best for your future. Because over-enjoying will spoil yourself and over-constraining will stress yourself up about the true meaning of living. So work hard with the mindset of achieving your life goal; securing a steady future with family and loved ones, and play hard with the mindset of charging your "battery" in order to prolong the journey of realizing life goals with happiness.

Life is all about balance. You balance between work and travel, pressure and enjoyment, love and beloved, sins and good deeds. So what's my plan for this year?

Continue working and growing with my awesome colleagues and company, more road trips and flying around, perhaps buying a car and appreciate everything I'm gaining. Looking forward to buying house when the time is right as well, it's time to do some investments.

So treat and love yourself well, be a better person throughout the year. Confidence will come consequently and that's the ultimate weapon to be fearless in this realistic world.

When the time is right, the right one will come to you, and you shall cherish and love the one with all your strength within your ability. It's a beautiful and happy thing to love and beloved by someone. So, appreciate!

Forgive everything by letting go the angers in your palms. They are toxic and do nothing good but making your life miserable.

Happy Chinese Year to everyone who pays attention on my blog. Love you all.

何必自找苦吃呢？

吃了这么多年的闭门羹，还是那么的厚脸皮、死缠烂打，何苦呢？

以为这样能够软化人心，可是又何必想得那么太傻、太天真呢？

受够活在别人的背影里。人生步伐不该浪费在这些无谓的等待，要双方认定对方，那代表缘分到了。要是苦苦挣扎换回来的，难道不感觉悲哀吗？

爱，是件开心、两人一起分享的喜悦，这样才能够长久下去。

是时候，彻底抛开那些不值得等待的事情，为自己前方的精彩人生而向前冲吧！

是你的，就是你的。

不是你的，如果努力过了还不是你的话，那么就只好送上温暖的怀抱当作散场的拥抱吧。

美好人生，还是需要继续，说不定更美好的景色就在前方。

我的储存档案里有你的微笑、纯真、善良和简单的友谊。

句号。

A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

Indeed, this is one of the most beautiful songs I heard since early this year

Enjoy the song, and the lyrics 

:)

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty I know she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything 
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath, 
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday

Waiting for you

Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a 
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a 
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought 
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a 
Thousand more

Home

Here I am, back to my hometown once again. 

Thanks to my generous boss who granted my holiday leave, and complained nothing but wished me an enjoyable trip. Thanks boss and I love my job even more!

Cynical people said I'm wasting money and being the big customer of the airlines company. I replied nothing as I felt so sorry for their miserable and pathetic thinking.

I come home for a few reasons: Family, friends (whom we care about each other), food, nostalgia and collecting more unforgettable memories. 

I always fully-pack my homecoming schedule so that I will not regret every moment I spend in my homeland. I guess this is how I could stay charged to work harder for the rest of the year.

Work hard and play hard.

This is how I live 

:)

Wrap 2011 and Unwrap 2012

2011 had finally gone by, flushed away just like yesterday. However, 2011 meant a lot to me, as I had been through a few chapters of my life throughout the year.

Ended my Bachelor Degree in the end of year 2010. Went home for a long vacation, not knowing what's lying ahead - my future. What came into my head once I threw all my lecture notes away? Honestly, I wasn't wondering anything at all but a simple question - why not a good and memorable trip and just set my job hunting aside?

That's how I ended up in Taiwan with few of my best buddies in early 2011. Backpacked, ventured, explored, discovered and came home with lots of photos and fond memories.

Spent more time with family and friends, catching up with the latest status updates. I guess my life would be meaningless without family, friends, love, food, joys, catch-ups, laughters and many more.

And then I went back to Adelaide for my convocation. The moment I saw my parents' eyesight landing on my academic dress paired with beautiful smiles, I knew I had accomplished a decent job for making them proud. What else can be happier when you see the son you have nurtured all this while has finally equipped himself with proper education and getting ready to rock the world?

Thank you dad and mom, for giving me the opportunity of education, with the strongest effort and support. I understood all the hardship and sacrifice you both had poured in, and that's the reason why I love you so much.

Timing and opportunity told me to give it a try on getting a job in Aussie land. I made the decision; leaving my homeland and all the things I care back there, and started a new life here. 

From Adelaide to Sydney, got full-on with job hunting day and night. Met new friends and explored around the harbor city.

From Sydney to Melbourne, when I have finally met a good company with bright future and professional development. Happy working environment, positive pressures, infinite learning curve and lots of knowledge absorption. Basically I'm like a humble sponge in the company, ah ha!

Then grandma came to Melbourne for a visit. She's always my angel and I couldn't stop loving her more. For those who know me, she's the permanent guest in my heart's presidential suite :)

Some people treat working life as life in hell, monotonous, suffocating and killing them slowly. For me, working life is always full with uncertainties and surprises, so it depends on how you treat it. I treat work as opportunities to open more windows; windows of  discoveries, possibilities, and most importantly, MORE TRAVEL PLANS!

That's how I make my career life more colorful, knowing anytime soon in future, I will pack my bags and start travelling again. 

That's also how I wrapped my wonderful year of 2011, the year of life-changing with promising futures. No regrets so far throughout the year, yet with some undone resolutions, and a short-lived romance.

Here I am, with open arms, ready to rock year 2012 regardless of what gonna happen ahead, which has made life more interesting.

但是你，却不知道

你,是否知道，你一直以来都储存在我的心里吗？

我知道你知道，但是你，是否知道我一直以来都没放弃过你吗？

每次看见你受伤，我的心也随着滳血。

但是你，却不知道。

每次以为自己假装对你不闻不问，心里却还是那么地在意你。

但是你，却不知道。

向你反复说了同样的一句对白，希望你能够认真考虑。

但是你，却不知道。

虽然你有许多不知道的事情，但是我只想你知道一件非常简单却坦白的一件事实，

我依然没有放弃过你。

从前也是，现在也是，未来也是。

别再东张西望了，我说的那个女生，就是你！
