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

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
