Life with doubt

Life is a difficult book to read. 
Many words, paragraphs, 
and meanings between the lines are 
hard to understand. 
You can ask AI, Google search, 
or on-line dictionaries 
for answers in any areas of doubt. 
But some answers can only be found 
through an inner search from 
concrete living experiences throughout life.

Emilio Piano ft. Lucie - Maison

Where do we go? 
When we have no home to return to? 
Flowers beneath concrete, 
Mother, Tell me, Where do we go? 
Do we ever truly know? 
Or are we always pretending? 
Where does the heart wander when it's lost? 
Through doubts and winter frost? 
Why do all days blend into one another? 
Do we eventually see what we've been building? Mother, tell me. 
Beyond The storm, 
there lies Love, love, love, 
When the sky opens, 
Everything grows calm again 
And all is well. 
Where does it go? 
Happiness, that fragile thread, 
When it wavers and breaks? 
Mother, tell me, Where does it go? 
Why does the world seem so vast, 
When we grow just a little taller than before? 
What becomes of dreams that flee? 
And memories we forget? 
Will I always have these questions? 
Perhaps I'll turn them into songs. 
Mother, tell me. 
Beyond The storm, 
there lies Love, love, love, 
When the sky opens, 
Everything grows calm again 
And all is well.

Be yourself in these chaotic times,
and when love is not easy.

Passenger - 
The Way That I Love You (Official Video)



How many times 
can I tell you 
You’re lovely just the way you are 
Don’t let the world come 
and change you 
Don’t let life break your heart 
Don’t put on their mask 
Don’t wear their disguise 
Don’t let them dim the light that 
shines in your eyes 
If only you could love yourself 
the way that I love you 
How many times can I say 
You don’t have to change a thing 
Don’t let the tide 
wash you away 
Don’t let worry ever clip your wings 
Discard what is fake 
Keep what is real 
Pursue what you love 
Embrace how you feel 
If only you could love yourself 
the way that I love you 
And if you ever choose a road that 
leads nowhere 
All alone and 
you can’t see right from wrong 
And if you ever lose yourself out there Come on home and 
I’ll sing you this song 
So how many times can I tell you 
You’re lovely just the way you are 
Don’t let the world 
come and change you 
Don’t let life break your heart

Leave or Stay

Different people choose 
different ways of living 
based on their unique 
personalities and characters, 
even when faced with 
the same environment and circumstances.

No one can definitively say 
who is right or wrong, 
or who is better or worse, 
as these choices stem from 
personal experiences and values.

Each choice represents 
how a person deals with his fate, 
and his fate is also unique and 
will not be the same as
 anyone else's.

Start VS Stop

For some cases, 
it is not difficult to 
find the right time to start, 
but it is not always quite easy to 
find the right time to stop.
 



Elton John - Someone saved my life tonight

When I think of those east end lights
Muggy nights the curtains drawn
In the little room downstairs
Prima donna Lord you really should have been there
Sittin' like a princess perched in her electric chair
And it's one more beer and I don't hear you anymore
We've all gone crazy lately
My friend's out there rolling 'round the basement floor
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)
And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear (sugar bear...)
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound hypnotized sweet freedom
Whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...)
Never realized the passing hours of evening showers
Slip noose hanging in my darkest dreams
I'm strangled by your haunted social scene
Just a pawn outplayed by a dominating queen
It's four o'clock in the morning
Damn it listen to me good
I'm sleeping with myself tonight
Saved in time
Thank God my music is still alive
(aah-aah-aah-aah-aah...)
And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear
(sugar bear sugar bear...)
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound hypnotized sweet freedom
Whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye
(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I would have walked head on into the deep end of the river
Clinging to your stocks and bonds
Paying your H.P. demands forever
Coming in the morning with a truck to take me home
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
And someone saved my life tonight
Sugar bear
(sugar bear sugar bear)
(sugar bear...)
You almost had your hooks in me
Didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar bound
Hypnotized
Sweet freedom
Whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away
High away
Bye bye

Come Down In Time

Time goes by fast.

we should take any

available opportunity

to get what we want,

such as love, money, or both!

Time will steal from you

what you are pursuing

 if you fail to get them in time.







Elton John - Come Down In Time

In the quiet silent seconds 
I turned off the light switch
And I came down to meet you 
In the half light the moon left
While a cluster of night jars 
Sang some songs out of tune
A mantle of bright light s
Shone down from a room
Come down in time I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message 
she gave to me
Come down in time and 
I'll meet you half way
Well I don't know if I should have heard her as yet
But a true love like hers is a hard love to get
And I've walked most all the way and 
I ain't heard her call
And I'm getting to thinking if 
she's coming at all
Come down in time 
I still hear her say
So clear in my ear like it was today
Come down in time was the message 
she gave to me
Come down in time and 
I'll meet you half way
There are women and women and 
some hold you tight
While some leave you counting the stars in the night

Your name is beautiful.

I have a friend whose name is very beautiful. 
One time, I told her, 
"Your name is so beautiful." 

She angrily replied, 
"You're just saying that to imply I'm not pretty!" 

This friend has a beautiful name, 
and she herself has well-defined features; 
she is not ugly by any means. 
When I said her name was beautiful, 
I was only referring to her name and 
not implying anything else. 
She overthought it and 
has been hostile to me for a lifetime.

As I write this, 
I still remember her name, 
but my impression of her features 
has become somewhat fuzzy.

中譯

我有一個朋友,她的姓名很美。
有一次,我對她說:“你的姓名好靚。” 

她很憤怒地回答我:
“你即是曲線話我唔靚!” 

這個朋友,她的姓名很美,
而她本人也五官端正,怎樣說也不算醜陋。
我說她的姓名很美時,祇是指她的姓名,
並無涉及其他範圍。
她想多了,因此嬲咗我一世。

我寫這篇文的此刻,
還記得她的姓名,
但她的五官印象卻有點模糊了。

周杰倫 - 七里香 





作詞:方文山 作曲:周杰倫

窗外的麻雀 在電線桿上多嘴
妳說這一句 很有夏天的感覺
手中的鉛筆 在紙上來來回回
我用幾行字形容妳是我的誰

秋刀魚 的滋味 貓跟妳都想了解
初戀的香味就這樣被我們尋回
那溫暖 的陽光 像剛摘的鮮豔草莓
你說妳捨不得吃掉這一種感覺

雨下整夜 我的愛溢出就像雨水
院子落葉 跟我的思念厚厚一疊
幾句是非 也無法將我的熱情冷卻
妳出現在我詩的每一頁

雨下整夜 我的愛溢出就像雨水
窗台蝴蝶 像詩裡紛飛的美麗章節
我接著寫 把永遠愛妳寫進詩的結尾
妳是我唯一想要的了解

雨下整夜 我的愛溢出就像雨水
院子落葉 跟我的思念厚厚一疊
幾句是非 也無法將我的熱情冷卻
妳出現在我詩的每一頁

那飽滿的稻穗 幸福了這個季節
而妳的臉頰像田裡熟透的番茄
妳突然 對我說 七里香的名字很美
我此刻卻只想親吻妳倔強的嘴

雨下整夜 我的愛溢出就像雨水
院子落葉 跟我的思念厚厚一疊
幾句是非 也無法將我的熱情冷卻
妳出現在我詩的每一頁

整夜 我的愛溢出就像雨水
窗台蝴蝶 像詩裡紛飛的美麗章節
我接著寫 把永遠愛妳寫進詩的結尾
妳是我唯一想要的了解

And so the story began

Life is a story of ups and downs.
Some parts hold many ups and few downs;
others, few ups and many downs;
some only ups;
some only downs.

From one part of life, 
it moves to the next—
a new story begins,
it may be in similar patterns; 
sometimes not.

So when the story begins,
wait and see what it reveals.

One-sided Love Will Never Sour

I experienced a love affair of 
one-sided love in my youth. 
It will never sour as long as 
I keep that feeling deep in my heart, 
free from interference by others, 
including my one-sided lover.


HY - NAO (Official Music Video)



我無法忘記你的聲音,
也無法忘記你的容貌。
我們在一起的日子讓我越來越虛弱。
每次見面,我都會再次被你吸引。
我知道,但我還是會去看你。
我的心在吶喊:“我想見你。”

只需要一句話。
你什麼也不說。
我不想放開你,
我不想分開。
即使有別人。

回想起我們的過去,
彷彿無窮無盡。
現在我的心裡充滿了你,
我走不動了。

無論我們在一起多久,
我們都無法理解彼此。
這世上只有一個你在乎。
我想成為你愛的女孩,
聽到你說的話。
我想感受聽到你說「我愛你」時的幸福。

我被你吸引,我愛上你了。
我愛你,所以我會和你一起奔跑。
但你卻離我越來越遠。
請了解我的感受。

即使我想放棄,
你也會再對我好,懂嗎?
如果你感覺不一樣,
我不需要那些言語或行動。

但我越愛你,就越傷痛。
無論如何,我都想陪在你身邊。

因為我知道這份愛永遠不會實現,
我的感情變得更加強烈,
更加熱烈,也更加悲傷。
我只能在你面前微笑。

因對你心碎的思念而流下的淚水,
是我強大的愛。

我那偉大的單戀,
只因為一個感覺:“我愛你。”
