Dreaming

Dreamt a little last night,
what surprised me, is that I remembered,
For I rarely dream, and it's unusual for me to remember

Perhaps it was the cuteness that stuck,
or the scratch marks that were inflicted,
but I remembered.

A cute little kitten walked into my life,
I wanted so much to cuddle it and hold it close to me,
but I was afraid of getting scratched.

For even though I knew it loved me back,
I held back, fearing the day it might lost control
and scratch me without meaning to

I'm still surprised I remember this dream.
Perhaps it's telling me I'm still afraid.
Perhaps it's telling me to trust.
Perhaps it's just a dream about a kitten and scratches.

Parents

This morning, I woke up a little later than usual.
By the time I woke up, the little ones had gone for their swim, so only my parents were left in the house.
I walked into the living room to see my dad sitting on the couch, and my mum lying on his lap, sleeping. When I asked if mum was ok, dad simply said, "She woke up very early!".

Although it might not seem that way, but my parents are a big influence in the way that I view the world.
From them I learnt how religion is part of life and not a way of life.
I learnt that two very different person can have a life together, and that arguments are a part of any relationship.
I have learnt how a parent's love can supersede what others might think.
They have taught me that not saying "I love you" out loud doesn't mean that there is no love.
They have shown me what I want my future to be like. A simple life, with someone by my side, who will wake up too early on a Sunday morning, and spend the late morning lying on my lap, sleeping.

Family

My family will always be yours if you are willing regardless of what we become...

All in

Sometimes in life, there are moments when you just know you have to go all in.
Always loved the following song from RPM, so I thought I would share.

Sometimes...

... Telling yourself something over and over and over again is the only way that you might start believing in it. 

HIMYM

Watched the final episode.

Even if you had a great life with the love of your life with 2 kids, you will never forget the person you stole the blue french horn for.

Random stuff

You know you're a big nerd when you read about Gunkan Jima, Kola Superdeep Borehole and ALMA, and the first thought is "COOL!" and the second? "I wonder if that place is open to tourists..."

年輕時...

年輕時，聽歌只知道好聽，想也不想，簡簡單單的欣賞。
開始仔細聆聽後，才發覺好多首歌，都在唱出心裡的一切。

我懷念過去單純美好的小幸福　愛總是讓人哭　讓人覺得不滿足　天空很大卻看不清楚　好孤獨

Puppy tale (2)

The puppy sat on the beach alone, his thoughts began to turn towards home. But the poor puppy was lost, he didn't know how to get back home.

As the puppy sat there lost, a little boy approached the puppy. He coaxed and comforted the puppy, and the puppy being young and impressionable, began to forget and started to play. Glad that there was someone to play with him on this glorious sunny day.

But before long, the puppy started to feel that he wasn't really happy, no matter how much fun he was having, he missed his owner. He stopped and pull away from the little boy, and started looking for the bench where his owner always sat, washing the sand and salt from the puppy's coat after a day at the beach. The bench was empty. No one to welcome the puppy back with a big hug.

Dejected, the puppy crawled underneath the bench and waited, hoping that someday, his owner will find him, and forgive him for leaving...
