“Yum Cha” Friend

He moved out to stay overseas 

for around one year.

He recently returned to live here.

He moved out and moved in.

I treasure that I can occasionally call him out 

to Yum Cha to “chat about everything 

including the Sky and the Earth”.


————


他搬出去在海外待了大約一年。 

他最近回到這裡居住。 

他搬出去又搬回來。 

我很珍惜我偶爾可以叫他出來去飲茶,

月旦天下。

After Rain

The old tree,
having many leaves.
After the rain,
listening to the rain.

To forget the dreams that cannot come true

When I was young, I had many dreams.
But I did not have the required resources
to make my dreams come true.

So I worked hard to secure the resources.

Now I have secured those resources,
but most of my dreams
got lost along the way, or
have been shattered
due to some uncontrollable reasons.

So I choose to let go of these dreams,
not allowing them to
weaken my sense of fulfillment.



Hollow Coves - When We Were Young [Audio]

We took time to see the sun 
Crossing rivers as we'd run 
Chasing birds down by the lake in the mud 
We would climb up in the trees 
Up high among the leaves 
We were wild and 
we were free 
when we were young 

[Chorus] 
But now we’re older 
And we feel the world at our feet 
As time turns we drift away 

Wish we were young again 

[Verse 2] 
We built castles in the sand 
Felt like emperors of the land 
Making walls to stop the waves 
from coming up 
We found joy in little things 
Like imaginary scenes 
Oh I miss the way we were 
when we were young 

[Chorus] 
But now we're older 
And we feel the world at our feet 
As time turns we drift away 

And oh how time flies 
Then you realize forgotten dreams 
Got lost along the way 
Wish we were young again 

Wish we were young again
 
But there's still so much to see 
in this life in front of me 
Like pages of a book still unturned 
We could sail the seven seas 
Even raise a family 
We could dream just like we did 
when we were young 

[Chorus] 
Cause now we’re older 
And we feel the world at our feet 
As time turns we drift away 
And oh how time flies 
Then you realise forgotten dreams 
Got lost along the way 
Wish we were young again 

Wish we were young again

There is a full moon every month

2025's Mid-Autumn Festival is on October 6th.
Everyone hopes for a reunion with their loved ones,
wishing for a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

In fact, except for a few situations,
we can see a full moon every month.
There’s no need to wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival
to enjoy the beauty of the full moon.
The round shape of the moon is auspicious,
and viewing it can easily bring joy and happiness.
Since there is a full moon every month,
it's beneficial to appreciate it more often.

Enjoy the moon regularly, not just during festivals.

2025年的中秋節在十月六日。
人人期許人月兩圓,
都希望過一個快樂的中秋節。

其實,除了少數例外,
每個月都可以看到一次圓月。
無需等到中秋節才觀賞圓月。

圓月形狀吉祥,觀賞易生喜悅開心情緒。
既然每月都有圓月,多賞有益。

無節常觀賞。

One Life One Person

One person has one life.
Another person has another life.
Two persons have two lives.
Two persons can hardly have one life.




陳奕迅 Eason Chan - 與我常在 
曲:林健華 of Black Box 詞:林夕 

在一起看每出戲 在一起嘆每口氣
再細嘗 同偕到老的況味
每分鍾也抱緊你沒有一秒共你別離
還攜手看著生與死
坐著卧著都分享日日夜夜也為彼此設想
站著望著都分享就在夢內發掘這真相
除非你是我才可與我常在
一個人從鏡內發展恩愛
除非你是我才可晝夜同在
戀不來從厭倦里面偷取恨愛
在一起與你工作在一起與你摸索
兩個人同時占有的快樂
每分鍾與你揮霍
沒有一秒沒我在旁
還攜手看著天空黑與光
坐著卧著都分享日日夜夜也為彼此設想
站著望著都分享就在夢內發掘這真相
除非你是我才可與我常在
一個人從鏡內發展恩愛
除非你是我才可晝夜同在
戀不來從厭倦里面偷取恨愛
除非你是我才可與我常在
一個人從鏡內發展恩愛
除非你是我才可晝夜同在
戀不來從厭倦里面偷取恨愛
除非你是我才可與我常在
一個人從鏡內發展恩愛
除非你是我才可晝夜同在
戀不來從厭倦里面偷取恨愛
在一起會有多美
在一起也會不美
一個人同偕到老不靠運氣

Heart of Gold


One with a heart of flesh is
searching for a heart of gold.





Neil Young - Heart of Gold (Ruth B. cover)


I want to live, I want to give
I've been a miner for a heart of gold
It's these expressions I never give

That keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keep me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I've been in my mind, it's such a fine line

That keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old
Keeps me searchin' for a heart of gold
And I'm getting old

Ruth B | Lost Boy | CBC Music Festival




Ruth B | Lost Boy | CBC Music Festival


There was a time when I was alone 
Nowhere to go and no place to call home 
My only friend was the man in the moon 
And even sometimes he would go away, too 
Then one night, 
as I closed my eyes 
I saw a shadow flying high 
He came to me with the sweetest smile 
Told me he wanted to talk for awhile 
He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me 
I promise that you'll never be lonely, " 
and ever since that day 
I am a lost boy from Neverland 
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan 
And when we're bored we play in the woods 
Always on the run from Captain Hook 
"Run, run, lost boy, " 
they say to me 
Away from all of reality 
Neverland is home to lost boys like me 
And lost boys like me are free 
Neverland is home to lost boys like me 
And lost boys like me are free 
He sprinkled me in pixie dust and 
told me to believe Believe in him and believe in me 
Together we will fly away in a cloud of green 
To your beautiful destiny 
As we soared above the town that 
never loved me I realized 
I finally had a family 
Soon enough we reached Neverland 
Peacefully my feet hit the sand 
And ever since that day 
I am a lost boy from Neverland 
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan 
And when we're bored we play in the woods 
Always on the run from Captain Hook 
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me 
Away from all of reality 
Neverland is home to lost boys like me 
And lost boys like me are free 
Neverland is home to lost boys like me 
And lost boys like me are free 
Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, 
Wendy Darling Even Captain Hook, 
you are my perfect story book Neverland, 
I love you so 
You are now my home sweet home 
Forever a lost boy at last Peter Pan, 
Tinkerbell, Wendy Darling 
Even Captain Hook, 
you are my perfect story book Neverland, 
I love you so 
You are now my home sweet home 
Forever a lost boy at last 
And for always I will say

Passenger - Sword from the Stone

Passenger - Sword from the Stone




How you doing, darling?
How you getting on?
Any horses running?
Worth betting on?
How's the weather down there?
I hope you're keeping warm
How you feeling, sweetheart?
Are you moving on?
Are you sleeping okay?
Or do the nights go on and on?
I hope you're eating well
I hope you're staying strong
'Cause I'm fine and then I'm not
I'm spinning 'round and I can't stop
I can't do this alone
For time flies then it's so slow
I'm up and down like a yo-yo
I can't do it on my own
And I've tried, and I can't pull the sword from the stone
How are your mum and dad?
How's your brother too?
My folks are holding up
My sister's pulling through
Both the cats say hi
I know they miss you too
'Cause I'm fine and then I'm not
I'm spinning 'round and I can't stop
I can't do this alone
For time flies then it's so slow
I'm up and down like a yo-yo
I can't do it on my own
'Cause I've tried, and I can't pull the sword from the stone
Because I'm fine and then I'm not
I'm spinning 'round and I can't stop
I can't do this alone
Time flies then it's so slow
I'm up and down like a yo-yo
I can't do it on my own
See, I've tried, and I can't pull the sword from the stone

Setting off for a new land

When we were young,
We usually didn't have got 
much real estate in hand.
So we set off for a new land 
to seek our fortune.

Now we are old,
We usually have got 
some real estate in hand.
So we set off for a new land 
to invest our fortune.



America - Simon & Garfunkel
 (Cover by Jack & Daisy)


"Let us be lovers, 
we'll marry our fortunes together
I've got some real estate here in my bag"
So we bought a pack of cigarettes and 
Mrs. Wagner pies
And walked off to look for America

"Kathy," I said as we boarded 
a Greyhound in Pittsburgh
"Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I've gone to look for America"

Laughing on the bus
Playing games with the faces
She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy
I said, "Be careful, 
his bowtie is really a camera"

"Toss me a cigarette, 
I think there's one in my raincoat"
"We smoked the last one an hour ago"
So I looked at the scenery, she read her magazine
And the moon rose over an open field


"Kathy, I'm lost," I said, 
though I knew she was sleeping
"I'm empty and aching and I don't know why"
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all come to look for America
All come to look for America
All come to look for America

Creating my own tunes

Though I am not good at music,
sometimes I try to murmur some
self-invented musical tunes to myself,
imagining that I am a songwriter.

Lovely to have made the decision

There are always both push and pull factors 
when deciding to stay or leave someone or somewhere.

It is lovely if one can make a decision genuinely 
based on one's unique life circumstances.



Lovely- Billie Eilish


Thought I found a way
Thought I found a way out (found)
But you never go away (never go away)
So I guess I gotta stay now
Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
Walkin' out of time
Lookin' for a better place (lookin' for a better place)
Something's on my mind (mind)
Always in my head space
But I know some day I'll make it out of here
Even if it takes all night or a hundred years
Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near
Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear
Isn't it lovely, all alone?
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
Whoa, yeah
Yeah, ah
Whoa, whoa
Hello, welcome home

Dog down on the ground and butterfly up in the air

When you come across 
a dog chasing a butterfly in the garden,
don't disturb them, 
let them play on,
until they separate on their own.




Dog and Butterfly - Heart

There I was with the old man
Stranded again so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
Said no, no, no, no, no child

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he likes to fly
Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground, laughing
She don't know why, she don't know why
Dog and butterfly

Well I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers
Stealing your fires, the message hit my mind
Only words that I could find

See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly

We're getting older the world's getting colder
For the life of me I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' making us give in
Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide
We're balanced together ocean upon the sky

Another night in this strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
Just begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly

Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
With a little tear in her eye
She had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly, yeah

Up in the air he like to fly
The dog and butterfly, 
below she had to try
She roll back down to the 
warm soft ground, laughing
She don't know why
But she had to try, she had to try
Dog and butterfly

A Day in My Life

1 year has 12 months.
1 month has around 4 weeks.
 1 week has 7 days.
1 day has 24 hours.
1 hour has 60 minutes, and
1 minute contains 60 seconds.

Interestingly, some people choose to 
focus on days as their primary time unit 
to measure life.

A single day, plus a number of days,
sums up to make one's entire life.

 A Day in the Life with orchestra - The Beatles 
(arr. Sam Haug)


The Analogues - 'A Day in the Life' by The Beatles


I read the news today oh boy
About a lucky man who made the grade
And though the news was rather sad
Well I just had to laugh
I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car
He didn't notice that the lights had changed
A crowd of people stood and stared
They'd seen his face before
Nobody was really sure
If he was from the House of Lords

I saw a film today oh boy
The English Army had just won the war
A crowd of people turned away
But I just had to look
Having read the book
I'd love to turn you on

Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes 
it takes to fill the Albert Hall

I'd love to turn you on

Who Envies Whom

Envy might be a part of human nature.  


Feeling envious of others is 
a common emotion, and such emotion 
often drives behavior in two main directions:  

1. To hope that something 
happens to the object of envy, 
making them worse off than oneself;  
2. To hope to surpass the object of envy 
through one’s own efforts.  

The direction taken depends on 
an individual’s personality tendencies.  

If one can feel envy toward others, 
is it possible to also feel envy toward oneself? 
If so, the actions driven by such emotion 
would similarly have two main directions:  

1. To hope that something happens to oneself, 
making oneself worse off than before;  
2. To hope to surpass oneself through 
one’s own efforts.  

But when envying oneself, 
would one truly hope to 
experience something that 
makes oneself worse than before?  

Human nature is complex, 
and interpersonal relationships are often tangled.
Perhaps it’s not entirely impossible!


誰妒忌誰

妒忌應是人性一部份。
妒忌他人是一種常見的情感,
而情感往往推動行為,
主要向著兩大方向:  
一是希望妒忌的對象
會發生一些事情之後差過自己;  
二是希望自己努力進步超越妒忌的對象。  

而向着那個方向取决於個人性格傾向。  

妒忌別人的情感,
會不會也用來妒忌自己的呢?
如果會,情感推動的行為,
會和妒忌別人的方向同樣有著兩大方向: 

一是希望自己會發生一些事情之後差過自己;  
二是希望自己努力進步超越自己。  

但妒忌自己,
會希望自己發生一些事情之後差過自己嗎?
  
人性複雜,人際紛亂,也不是沒有可能的吧!

Tenille Arts - Jealous of
 Myself 



She's a little bit younger
Call her baby, drives me crazy
'Cause that used to be me
She knows all of your secrets
And your dive bars and your back roads
That you drive when you need to think
She gets to call your momma, 
talk about you
Say she'll see her soon
She gets to do all the things 
I thought I'd always do, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ain't a day that I don't wish that 
I could be her
The way you hold her like 
you'll never gonna leave her
How they love her in your hometown too
I'm jealous, I can't help it, I want
Every second that your hands are on her body
How you put her name in every prayer to God
She has it so good, but she has no clue
I'm jealous of myself when I had you
Gotta look at the pictures of you with her on my mirror
'Cause I still ain't took 'em down
And I still got the t-shirt that you bought her at a concert
Now the tour dates are faded out
She gets to know your number, never wonder
Who's been on your mind
She gets to keep you up at night
And it's keepin' me up tonight
Ain't a day that I don't wish that 
I could be her
The way you hold her like 
you'll never gonna leave her
How they love her in your hometown too
I'm jealous, I can't help it, I want
Every second that your hands are on her body
How you put her name in every prayer to God
She has it so good, but she has no clue
I'm jealous of myself when I had
You, ooh
You, ooh
You, ooh
She hasn't had to miss the way 
you need me
Have her whole world shattered when 
you leave her
Hasn't had to see you with somebody new
I'm jealous, I can't help it, I want
Every second that 
your hands are on her body
How you put her name in 
every prayer to God
She has it so good, 
but she has no clue
I'm jealous of myself
I'm jealous of myself when I had you
I'm jealous
Mm, mm-hmm-mm
I'm jealous

That day of every year - 9th March

From 1st January to 31st December of a year, 
there are some days to which 
I have special affection because 
those days have special meaning for me, 
such as the birthday of mine and my loved ones. 

I treat the day of 9th March as special to me simply 
because I am fond of 
the Japanese song titled "9th March."

『3月9日』acoustic ver. 優里× 春茶 (9.3.2024)



Remioromen - 3月9日 (9.3.2005)
The original MV




歌詞
在流動的季節中間 
突然感覺一天的長度 
在忙碌的日子裡 
我和你畫一個夢 
把你的思念寄託在三月的風上 
櫻花花蕾持續到春天

光粒子溢出 
一點一點溫暖早晨 
打了個大哈欠之後 
旁邊有點害羞的你 
站在新世界的入口 
我意識到我並不孤單

當我閉上眼睛的時候,
你通過在眼瞼後面 你能變得多強? 
我想對你也一樣

捲起塵埃的旋風 
它會纏在衣服上 
中午之前天空中的白月 太美了,
我都能看到 有時事情並不順利,
但是 當我仰望天空時,即使天空很小
藍天清澈端莊 
羊雲靜靜地搖曳 
等待花開的喜悅 
如果我能分享我很高興
在我身邊溫柔地微笑

當我閉上眼睛的時候,
你通過在眼瞼後面 
你能變得多強? 
我想對你也一樣

啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 
啊啊啊

Stay Alive | The Secret Life of Walter Mitty | Jose Gonzalez

Fantasies can never become 
real-life experiences if no action is taken.

Take action to experience them
if the chance arises.


__________



Stay Alive | The Secret Life of Walter Mitty | Jose Gonzalez




There's a rhythm and rush these days
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean
Sometimes there's things a man cannot know
The gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow
There's no place to run and no gasoline
Engine won't turn and the train won't leave
Engines won't turn and the train won't leave
I will stay with you tonight
Hold you close 'til the morning light
In the morning watch a new day rise
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
Well the way I fell is the way I write
It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies
There is a truth and it's on our side
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Look into the sun as the new days rise
And I will wait for you tonight
You're here forever and you're by my side
I've been waiting all my life
To feel your heart as it's keeping time
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Look into the sun as the new days rise
There's a rhythm and rush these days
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean
But there is a truth and it's on our side
Dawn is coming open your eyes
Look into the sun as a new days rise

Ignorance to Work-Life Balance


The need to strike a work-life balance often 
becomes apparent when 
the pressures of work, life, or both 
reach a tipping point that begins to 
erode the quality of one’s life or productivity at work.

However, when the need to establish 
a work-life balance arises, 
it is inexcusable to ignore the issue, 
as inaction can lead to serious consequences, 
including potential tragedy.

"Heisei-era Kana Nishino" vs. "Reiwa-era Kana Nishino"

In Japan, some music fans enjoy 
categorizing the musical development of 
their favorite idol singers 
by the historical eras of Heisei and Reiwa.

Heisei Era (平成年代): 
This corresponds to the reign of Emperor Akihito,
starting on January 8, 1989, and 
ending on April 30, 2019.

Reiwa Era (令和年代):
This began with the reign of Emperor Naruhito 
on May 1, 2019.

For example, 
the popular Japanese singer Kana Nishino (西野加奈)
announced her temporary withdrawal 
from the music scene in February 2019. 
Later, she got married and gave birth to her first child in 2023. 
Fans who had been eagerly awaiting her return 
were delighted when 
she announced her comeback in 2025.

Fans enjoy distinguishing her career as 
"Heisei-era Kana Nishino" and 
"Reiwa-era Kana Nishino", 
appreciating each phase of 
her music evolution 
with appropriate expectations and support.

"Heisei-era Kana Nishino"
「平成年代的西野加奈」
Kana Nishino - Aitakute Aitakute (2017)




"Reiwa-era Kana Nishino"
「令和年代的西野加奈」
Kana Nishino - Aitakute Aitakute / THE FIRST TAKE (2025)





______

日本有些歌迷以平成年代及令和年代,
將她們的偶像歌手的音樂發展分開階段來欣賞。
平成年代:是日本天皇明仁的年號,
從1989年1月8日開始,
至2019年4月30日結束。
令和年代:是日本天皇德仁的年號,
自2019年5月1日開始。

例如,日本流行音樂女歌手
西野加奈 (Nishino Kana) 於 2019年2月
宣布暫時退出歌壇。
之後,她結婚並於 2023年生下第一個孩子。
歌迷們期待已久的她,
終於在 2025年 宣布復出。

歌迷喜歡以「平成年代的西野加奈」和
「令和年代的西野加奈」
來區分她的音樂發展階段,
並以對偶像以恰如其分的期望和要求來支持她。


_________


我想見你,我想見你,
我顫抖不已。
越想你,你就越覺得離我遠。
請讓我再聽見你說一聲“我愛你”,
哪怕是謊言,就像那天一樣……
今天是我們的紀念日,
如果是真的,
我不禁好奇我們是否會一起度過那段時光。
你確定你已經忘記一切,和她一起歡笑嗎?
你一直以來只對我傾訴的話語和溫柔,
還有我珍惜的笑容,
你也都對她傾訴了嗎?
寶貝,我知道,你已經不再屬於我了,
但無論如何,你都必須是我的。
你就是那個人。
我想見你,我想見你,我顫抖不已。
越想你,你就越覺得離我遠。
如果我們能重新在一起……
遙不可及的感情,
我的心,我的感受。
我希望我能見到你,但我不能。
我越想你,就越痛苦。
請讓我再聽見你,哪怕是謊言。

The black butterfly flies darkly

When a black butterfly flies,
it flies darkly,
but it shines brightly.



Yumi Matsutoya - 《Karasu Ageha》

Beyond the dead-end road
A faint sound can be heard
As if whispering, "Come quickly,"
Who is it that lures me out?

I call for you, 
but I'm tangled up, 
unable to turn it into proper words
The fluttering, 
falling cherry blossoms carry feelings of regret
As if saying, 
"Please, never forget me," 
they dye the sky

Like overlapping mirrors rippling in waves,
The black swallowtail is swept away
I call for you, 
but no matter how I struggle, 
I can no longer return anywhere

Tears that fall and scatter
Mercilessly blur my memories
Constantly reminding me that 
I cannot stay here forever

I want to see you, 
wandering in time that will never return
The fluttering, falling cherry blossoms carry 
feelings of regret
As if saying, "Please, never forget me," 
they dye the sky

Tears that fall and scatter
Mercilessly blur my memories
Constantly reminding me that 
I cannot stay here forever


松任谷由実 - 《烏揚羽》(黑鳳蝶)

在死胡同的道路彼端
傳來微弱的聲音
彷彿在低語著「快過來吧」
究竟是誰在引誘我?

想呼喚你 卻糾纏著 怎麼也無法順利發出聲音
飄落的櫻花,載滿無奈的思緒
「永遠不要忘記我」 它這樣染紅了天空

如同重疊的鏡面波動般
被沖散的烏揚羽蝶
想呼喚你 卻掙扎著 已經無法回到任何地方

簌簌落下的眼淚
無情地模糊了記憶
不停地告訴我 再也無法永遠留在這裡

想見你 彷徨於無法回返的時間裡
飄落的櫻花,載滿無奈的思緒
「永遠不要忘記我」 它這樣染紅了天空

簌簌落下的眼淚
無情地模糊了記憶
不停地告訴我 再也無法永遠留在這裡
