Slow down Sunday

Listening to this mix as I type. Just perfect for now.




It reminds me of some songs used for The Descendants' soundtrack. 
Watched it two weeks back, really liked it, but never got around to even reflect further.
Some would find it boring. What, it's just about some old guy who's dumb enough to not realise his wife's having an affair, and doesn't know how to handle his own two daughters any more.

It could have been a tragic, self obsessed drag. But instead it was quietly endearing, with funny little moments and a slow satisfactory build up to a revelation about love, family, and faith. Funny when your daughter's boyfriend gives you advice on how to handle your own daughters, and calls you boss. Heartbreaking when you realise you still love your wife, and try to get her lover to say one last goodbye before she gets plugged off her life support system. 

I like this moment here when he collapses on the ground after having to break the news to his wife's friends. All his pent up emotions expressed in a single moment...


When things have happened, people are going to pass on, the best you could do is to hold on tighter to what you still have. Looking at the wealth you already possess, maybe things are never as bad as they seem?





My (our?) song

Cram my ears with music, fill my head with a million thoughts, do crazy bad dance moves, if only to shut out the deafening loneliness.



太多,太快,所以心会累。

今天早上翻了翻报纸,看到黄义达短期出家后感言。说了这句话。
然后又想起最近身边发生的事,有点感慨。
我们都是了无一物地到来这世界,走时也两手空空。但就为什么中间累积这么多包袱。

已经不是懵懂的少女,踏入社会这段时期,终于搞懂了-人生其实可以很简单。
做任何事,只要抿心自问:"到底我真正想要什么?"
快乐时,尽情享受,放声大笑。
难过时,别憋着,要流泪就让它流下。
对珍惜的人与物,要真诚面对,付出。
而这一切,都是建立在本身作为人的基础道德上。简单又真实,人生也不过如此。。

xxxx题外话,再次听到王菲的歌声,太棒了。还是很美,无论是那得天独厚的嗓子,还是那摄人的眼神。xxxx

Wouldn't it be nice....

if we got younger, and stay carefree forever?

Sitting here, singing this song
Do you know do you know
Where, when, how
shall we meet?
Balalala~lalaaala
Under a blazing sun
On a rainy street
We'll throw away our umbrellas and jump some puddles?
Is there what they say there will be-
a feeling of deja vu-
we knew each other before we met
of loving, not liking?
Balalala~lalaaala

Yessss. Im back. A song from Krock band Nell inspired me to write something random. Btw, you should check out their songs-they're awesome.
