One Hundred / 一百 / Seratus

This being the 100th entry, instead of writing a load of rubbish, I think I would rather dedicate it to a song that I like very much.
_______________________________
曾经爱你,永远爱你 - Sky Wu

等时间过去
等现在的一切变成回忆
在某个夜里
我将站在海边大声喊你
曾有的悲喜
将会温暖也会刺痛我的心
我知道我一定会后悔失去你

就快看不到你的背影
分手就要成定局
我快要不能呼吸
能够相爱并不容易
无法想象没有你
无法想象我没有你
那些洒满阳光日子里
那些眼泪和笑语
你真的已不在意
my love
轻轻的喊着你
曾经爱你
永远爱你

你已含着泪水转身而去
我还抱着盼望停留在原地
一段并不长的距离
爱却跨不过去
天空无语海无情
喔……

对着你的背影轻声说
我爱你

Spending My Time - Roxette

What's the time?
Seems its already morning
I see the sky, its so beautiful and blue
The TV's on
But the only thing showing is a picture of you

Oh, I get up and make myself some coffee
I try to read a bit but the story's too thin
Then I thank the Lord above
That you're not there to see me
In this shape I'm in

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you think of me too
I'm spending my time

I try to call but I don't know what to tell you
I leave a kiss on your answering machine
Oh, help me please
Is there someone who can make me
Wake up from this dream?

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you are missing me too

I'm spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "tears of a clown"
A prayer gone blind

I'm spending my time

My friends keep telling me:
Hey, life will go on
Time will make sure will get over you
This silly game of love you play you win only to lose

Spending my time
Watching the days go by
Feeling so small
I stare at the wall
Hoping that you think me too

I'm spending my time
Watching the sun go down
I fall asleep to the sound
Of "tears of a clown"
A prayer gone blind

A Tribute to Sir Edmund Hillary

This morning while reading my usual online news.... Sir Edmund Hillary had passed away.

For those who do not know who he is... he is one of the first 2 men who reached the summit of Mt Everest, the other person was his Sherpa partner the late Tenzing Norgay. Together, they reached the summit of Everest.

Through the years that follows, much controversies had arise about the climb. Camps from Nepal and England were arguing over who actually reached the summit first .. aka.. who was the FIRST man to reach Mt Everest. The 2 men kept their silence and now the truth has been brought to their graves. I am glad that they took this approach as both of them could not have done it alone. It was a team effort. THEY were the first to reach the summit of Everest.

I am very fortunate to have met this great man 4 years ago during a company trip where he was an invited speaker. We spoke only awhile during breakfast where most of the crowd had gone off. I guess I must be one of the million faces he had seen over the past years, but for me, it was truly memorable. Also, I was fortunate enough to meet Jamling Tenzing Norgay in the same trip. He is the son Tenzing Norgay and he followed his father's footstep and summit Mt Everest while making an IMAX movie...Power!!

Sir Hillary.... May you Rest in Eternal Peace....

Letting Go

This topic came into my mind today, for whatever reason I have no idea. I guess I will just blog in about these 2 words of "Letting Go".

Why do we keep using this term when things do not turn out the way we wanted it to. Letting go of anger after a heated argument, letting go of a relationship gone south, letting go of the past.... Does letting go actually make us hold on even tighter? Yes and no......

As a child, I have no problem of letting go, physically, of older toys for something newer... but I always have problems coming to terms with defeat..whether in a argument or in a competition...

Is Buddha's teaching of detachment the highest level of letting go? As one can see more clearly when one has no more attachments in worldly things. Then why do the monks of Myanmar went to march on the streets and resulting in much bloodshed to themselves? Are they marching for the common people, for their sufferings? If they are, aren't they being sort of attached to worldly affairs. My shallow Buddhist understandings failed to help me see through the rational of this world shaking event.... I do hope some day I will be able to...

If someone is highly detached from many things around him... does it mean that the person is cold and unfeeling? I doubt it... maybe the person dare not, out of fear, take a step forward and experience what is install for him in front.

So to let go of something, does it mean to be detached from it emotionally? I personally doubt it.. I guess its time that help dilute the effect... or even change the effect to the other direction....

So are you truly able to Let Go of whatever you want to Let Go???
