Disposal of the past me

Today, I disposed of some old things.

Today, the present me said goodbye to 

a past me 

or 

some past me.

I Said Goodbye to Me · Harry Nilsson

I said goodbye to me,

I looked in the mirror,

Then I began to cry.

I'll leave my things behind for all to see,

And hope that she will understand why.

Ending the game is like 

changing the name of your favorite song.

Step out of rhyme for the very first time and 

the song is gone.

There's nothing left to say,

I'll pack up my memories then I'll walk away.

I hope I'm doing right, but by tonight,

The horse and coach will be on his way.

I said goodbye to me,

I looked in the mirror,

Then I began to cry.

I'll leave my things behind for all to see,

And hope that she will understand why.

Hope there is much love and peace

No matter how a piece of art works may look like,

the creator must have some messages to express.

Of course, different audience may get 

different amount of messages from 

the piece of art works or even none.

But if the messages are about love and peace,

the audience can easily get most of its messages,

just because love and peace are 

the most basic demands for human survival.

Chinese Translation

無論一件藝術作品呈現出來是甚麼樣子，

創作者一定有些信息想表達。

當然受眾能感應的信息可多可少或者沒有。

但如果那些信息是有關愛與和平（Peace and Love)的，

受眾是很容易感應得到很多的，

因為愛與和平是人類生存最基本的訴求。

可記得

見證半個廣島　炸碎了　那張照片

勸你去猜想　世界無國界　那一闋歌

少女困斗室　晦暗裡記載　那一本書

有這些作品

你再置身事外　但是活在這地球

循環千秋萬代　善或恨原是自由

用我手中　一張相

換你手中　一張刀

用我手中　一首歌

換你手中　一把槍

愛真的面貌　用藝術呈現莫負擅長

只希望　默默地提示人類善良

用我手中　一本書

換你手中　一子彈

用我手中　一幅畫

換你手中　一勳章　去　說　明

燒毀　的小教堂響起　鐘聲

鐘聲　撫慰　雙方的　傷兵

傷兵　一眾　差不多　年齡

本應　相對　如男孩　友情

家鄉　的信　家鄉的　心聲

心聲　想你　烽煙中　細聽

簡單　的愛　簡單的　和平

才是　以後　路程

可記得

曾融和天與地　東跟西　繪於一面圍牆　的噴畫

圓圈裡那　撇與捺　加多一戙而成　的標誌

誰　曾肩負重任　用力地唱　盡力拍

落力畫滿　合力地說　但願沒有　世界大戰

你再置身事外　但是活在這地球

循環千秋萬代　善或恨原是自由

用我手中　一張相

換你手中　一張刀

用我手中　一首歌

換你手中　一把槍

愛真的面貌　用藝術呈現莫負擅長

只希望　默默地提示人類善良

用我手中　一本書

換你手中　一子彈

用我手中　一幅畫

換你手中　一勳章去喊停

燒毀　的小教堂響起　鐘聲

鐘聲　撫慰　雙方的　傷兵

傷兵　一眾　差不多　年齡

本應　相對　如男孩　友情

家鄉　的信　家鄉的　心聲

心聲　想你　烽煙中　反省

簡單　的愛　簡單的　和平

才是以後路程

燒毀　的小教堂響起　鐘聲

鐘聲　撫慰　雙方的　傷兵

傷兵　一眾　差不多　年齡

本應　相對　如男孩　友情

家鄉　的信　家鄉的　心聲

心聲　想你　烽煙中　細聽

簡單　的愛　簡單的　風景

藏著性命

翻新　的小教堂響起　歌聲

歌聲　擁抱　家鄉的　孤嬰

孤嬰　怎會　懂得這　文明

幾番　波折　才從頭　建成

天真　的笑　天真的　哭聲

哭聲　想你　於心中　見性

一體　的愛　一體的　心境

人類有靈

Set Scenes

Several specific scenes 

often appear in my dream.

And these specific scenes do not exist in reality.

So there are also set scenes in my dream.

Chinese Translation

我的夢

常出現幾個特定的場景

而那幾個場景

現實上是不存在的

我的夢

也有片場

Birds sing sad songs also

 I don't know why so many birds can sing 

sweet songs that appeal to human beings so much. 

I always think that birds sing their songs primarily 

for other birds of their same kinds for  

communciation and sharing among themselves,

but not for human beings. 

May be nature classifies birds and human beings 

as the same kind, so when the birds sing sweet songs, 

their songs mean the same sweetness to us. 

But birds do not always sing happy songs,

I always find birds sing sad songs,

it means the same sadness to me.

Jenny Wren · Paul McCartney

Like so many girls, Jenny Wren could sing

But a broken heart, took her soul away

Like the other girls, Jenny Wren took wing

She could see the world, and it's foolish ways

How, we, spend our days, casting, love aside

Loosing, site of life, day, by, day

She saw poverty, breaking all the home

Wounded warriors, took her song away

But the day will come, Jenny Wren will sing

When this broken world, mends its foolish ways

Now we, spend our days, catching, up on life

All because of you, Jenny Wren

My 180-day Year

I bought an annual diary with no specified date.

I specify the 365-day year by inventing two 180-day years, that is my own years.

In this way, 

I can make two 180-day year plans instead of 

one 365 -day year.

For every 180-day year plan,

whether it is finally successful or not, 

I can make a new year plan for every 180-day year.

This is for rebuilding a more active life ahead for myself.

Chinese Translation

我買了一本沒有指定日期的年度日記。

我透過自創兩個180天的年份來取代一個365天的年份，

那就是我自己的年份。

透過這種方式，

一年365天，我就可以制定兩個180天的年度計劃。

對於每個180天的年度計劃，

不管它最終是否成功，

每180天我就可以制定一個新的年度計劃。

這是為了懶散的現狀，重建更積極的人生。

Can You Go to the Heaven and Beyond

Those who don't know,

 may not be innocent.

Those who has offended,

don't expect to be forgiven in the end.

Heaven and Beyond by Knight Area

Looking back on my life, I can finally say

It has been worth living

There were beautiful moments and memories

And pure exultation

And as for times of deception and times of despair

That can't be avoided

No regrets for the sorrow and the suffering

It was but confusion

We're going to heaven and beyond

We're going to heaven

Waiting for whatever will come

We're going to heaven

Nothing comes without reason, 

we are part of the plan

Have our own role to play

And all we remember from our past lives

Are our dreams for tomorrow

When one day we've learned from our fatal mistakes

And the battles are over

We look down on the world with a smile

And all (will) be forgiven

How life goes by

When I was small, 

I felt that life was flowing.

When I was in my prime, 

I thought that life was repeating.

As now I get older, 

I know that life is passing by.

Chinese translation

小時候，我覺得生命是流動著的。

壯年時，我覺得生命是流轉著的。

年齡稍長後，我覺得生命是流逝著的。

川嶋あい - 太陽列車

「太陽列車」中文歌詞 

真心覺得出生在你身邊真是太好了。 

告訴我們，人生會在浮沉中流逝。 

逝去多久了？越來越遠了。 

我的居民們由被稱為過去的車站，

搭乘太陽列車，帶你踏上今天的旅程。

好像分開了，

終於意識到一直相連。 

我不再羞愧地行事。 

對無緣無故打擊我的日子說“對不起” ，

連話現在都傳不到給你了。 

我害怕終有一日，就會忘記你。

飛走後的蒲公英的孩子在天空中歡鬧。 

 一直暗中溫柔地守護著你

搭乘太陽列車，

帶你踏上今天的旅程

想撒嬌的時候，

會仰望天空微笑。 

當我無能為力時，我會哭泣。

斑駁的悔恨淚從這趟列車的窗外灑落 。

錯過了的幾多個晚上之後，

你哦、告訴我了 

你微笑的光 

雖然什麼都做不了，

但一直不會忘記。 

沒有終點站，

開蒲公英的羽花綻放。

被你擁抱，

又連接生命之歌。

La La La 。。。

Breakeven Analysis in Life

We cannot be too calculating in 
some aspects of life. 
Don't try to achieve a breakeven account, 
with a profit or 
loss sense learnt 
from those accounting subjects at universities.

* * * 

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

Just prayin' to a God that I don't believe in

'Cause I got time while she got freedom

'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst

She finally met a man that's gonna put her first

While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping

'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no

What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you? And

What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?

I'm falling to pieces, yeah

I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason

But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding

'Cause she's moved on while I'm still grieving

And when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even, no

And what am I going to do when the best part of me was always you? And

What am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?

I'm falling to pieces, yeah

I'm falling to pieces, yeah

I'm falling to pieces

(One still in love while the other one's leaving)

I'm falling to pieces

('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain

You took your suitcase, I took the blame

Now I'm tryna make sense of what little remains ooh

'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing

Just prayin' to a God that I don't believe in

'Cause I got time while she got freedom

'Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break

No it don't break, no it don't break even, no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you? And

What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?

(Oh glad your okay now)

I'm falling to pieces yeah

I'm falling to pieces (oh, I'm falling, falling) yeah

I'm falling to pieces

(One still in love while the other one's leaving)

I'm falling to pieces

('Cause when a heart breaks no it don't break even)

Oh it don't break even no

Oh it don't break even no

Oh it don't break even no

Golden Brown - The Stranglers

The song writer of 'Golden Brown' says that 

"the song works on two levels. 

It's about heroin and also about a girl and essentially 

the lyrics describe how both provided him with pleasurable times."

The song was released in 1982.

after forty years, the song gives me 

different messages.

Golden brown means more to me as 

the colour of a cup of coffee or a piece of bread,

when I am listening to this song 

during my breadfast time!

Golden Brown - The Stranglers 

Golden brown, texture like sun

Lays me down, with my mind she runs

Throughout the night, no need to fight

Never a frown with golden brown

Every time, just like the last

On her ship tied to the mast

To distant lands takes both my hands

Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown, finer temptress

Through the ages she's heading west

From far away, stays for a day

Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown with golden brown (never a frown with golden brown)

Never a frown with golden brown (never a frown with golden brown)

Never a frown (never a frown)

Never a frown (with golden brown)

With golden brown (with golden brown)

With golden brown

To Find Reason to Live

In this chaotic time,

better find a reason to live and 

just live by it, 

you don't need anyone else's approval. 

This chosen reason, 

will rarely overlap with others'.

Chinese Translation

在這個紛亂無常的時日，

找一個理由活著，

就依它安身立命，也不需別人認同。

因為這一個理由，多數不與別人的重疊。

Art Garfungal - Finally find a reason 

Finally found a reason to live,

No words can fill my head.

Finally, here at ease, I'm within

The light that fills my head.

And I finally found a reason to live,

And I never knew the way to begin.

Waiting on a wish in a well,

That day may never come.

I've been known to follow my mind,

Those days are far behind.

And I finally found a reason to live,

And I never knew the way to begin.

But now that I see your face,

My world is a better place.

For how can I ever leave you from my world,

Your world?

Finally found a feeling that's real,

In you, in me, I feel.

Time is just a turn of the wheel,

The way to love revealed.

And I finally found a reason to live,

And I never knew the way to begin.

But now that I see your face,

My world is a better place.

For how can I ever leave you from my world,

Your world?
