Two Whatsapp Ways to Leave Your Lover

In this day and age,
there are two simple ways
to leave a lover:
one is to disconnect via WhatsApp
and disappear;
the other is to write the word "goodbye,"
via WhatsApp.

But never choose these methods;
otherwise, you will be considered a
fraudulent lover,
even though real love once existed
before the break.


在這個時代,
離開戀人可以有兩種電網方法:
一是斷開WhatsApp聯繫,從此消失;
二是透過WhatsApp 寫下“goodbye”一字。

但千萬不要選擇這些方式,
否則你會被視為電騙戀人,
儘管真愛曾存。

Honesty is usually sincere

 Honesty and sincerity usually coexist.

An honest person is always sincere.
Vice versa, 
a sincere person is always honest.

However, there must be some exceptions.

If an honest person is not sincere,
they may not accept the world.
If a sincere person is not honest,
the world may not accept them.



Billy Joe - Honesty

If you search for tenderness
It isn't hard to find
You can have the love you need to live
But if you look for truthfulness
You might just as well be blind
It always seems to be so hard to give
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don't want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
I can find a lover
I can find a friend
I can have security until the bitter end
Anyone can comfort me
With promises again
I know, I know
When I'm deep inside of me
Don't be too concerned
I won't ask for nothin' while I'm gone
But when I want sincerity
Tell me where else can I turn
'Cause you're the one I depend upon
Honesty is such a lonely word
Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you

All are lies and jests we can hear

Most of the people just hear
what they want to hear.



The Boxer - by Simon and Garfunkel

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest

When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know

Lie la lie ...

Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers,
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there

Lie la lie ...

Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Bleeding me, going home

In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of ev'ry glove that layed him down
Or cut him till he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

Lie la lie ...

The Memories of Vanilla Ice Cream in the School

From primary school to 
the first year of secondary school, 
there were more than forty students in the class.

Among them, 
I belonged to a group of about ten 
who got along well together. 
We played basketball, soccer, 
went shopping, and hiked together. 

But gradually, 
some students drifted away 
from this group and to join other smaller circles, 
such as table tennis, basketball, volleyball, 
and the Wong Yuk-long (黃玉郎) comic circle......

Among them were two students with 
particularly good grades, 
who each secluded themselves to 
focus on their studies.

This joyful circle gradually fell apart, 
and afterward, we rarely gathered together.


由小學升讀中學一年級,
班上有四十多人。

我們當中有十多位玩得埋夾得來,
大家一起打籃球、
踢足球、逛街、爬山。
但漸漸地,
有些人離開了這個圈子,
轉入更小的群體,
比如乒乓球圈、籃球圈、
排球圈、黃玉郎式漫畫圈……

其中有兩個成績特別好的同學,
則各自躲起來,專心讀書。

十多人的快樂圈子漸漸瓦解,
之後大家很少聚在一起。





南拳媽媽 -香草把噗 (HSIANG TSAO BA PU)
(「香草把噗」- 香草冰淇淋(vanilla ice cream)

昨晚下過雨後 
操場的濕氣很重 
籃球上的水滴也沒有乾過 
雨水流過的泥土 
味道很濃厚 
操場的青草香 
不時飄到我夢中
 上上上 上課的時候 
稚氣的臉孔 還在想 
那顆球 怎麼老是投不中 
最後十分鐘 大家開始倒數 
比賽誰先 衝到福利社 
怎麼停留 
回憶總是出現在我想起之後 
這樣稚氣的面容現在還有沒有 
怎麼重播 
如此念舊的鏡頭在離開之後 
場景人物畫面時空都還沒變過 
校門外賣把噗的老伯 
那鬍鬚越長越多 
放學後籃球場上 
只剩我留到最後 
苦練再苦練 
經過女生看不見 
先別想那麼多 
反正選不上我 趁手
色的把噗 
還沒溶化的時候 
悄悄跟在他背後 
希望那上帝保佑 
勸自己別再孬種 
買三年香草把噗 
把把把把把把噗 
也該送到她手中 
刷刷牙洗臉後
早餐從來沒吃過 
隔壁巷子的女孩已經出發 
再晚點就來不及假裝經過 
進教室在升旗過後 
打手心 還好還好 
啦啦啦啦 啦 啦啦啦 啦啦 啦啦啦啦 啦啦 
怎麼停留 
回憶總是出現在我想起之後 
這樣稚氣的面容現在還有沒有 
怎麼重播 
如此念舊的鏡頭在離開之後 
場景人物畫面時空都還沒變過 
那段從前 怎麼去撿 
光陰似箭 一直向前 
羞澀畫面 不斷重演 
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 啦啦啦啦啦 
啦 啦 啦啦啦啦 
啦 啦 啦 
從前 的那個我 
已經 長大成熟了 
時間 開始倒流 
日子 一樣在過 
只有 努力和堅持 
才能 成就擁有 
啦啦啦 啦啦 
啦啦啦啦 啦啦 
啦啦啦啦 
啦啦 
啦啦啦啦 
啦 啦 啦

The Places with Memories


Don't revisit a place where 

a bitter experience occurred.

No one will put themselves in a situation 

where bitter memories will be recalled.

 




The Corrs - Old Town


The girl's a fool, 

she broke the rules, she hurt him hard

This time he will break down
She's lost his trust and so she must know all is lost
The system has broke down
Romance has broke down

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

She plays it hard, she plays it tough
But that's enough, the love is over
She's broke his heart and that is rough
But in the end he'll soon recover
The romance is over

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down, yeah yeah
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down, yah, yah, ha
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

I've been spending my money in the old town
It's not the same honey, with you not around
I've been spending my time in the old town
I sure miss you honey, when you're not around
When you're not around this old town

Ola

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down, hehehe yeah
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

This boy is cracking up
This boy has broken down, ha yhaha
This boy is cracking up
This boy has broke down

Occasional Loneliness

When occasional loneliness comes upon me, 
I need to manage it 
to avoid succumbing to depression. 
So, I always reach out to find 
something or someone to engage with 
to create a feeling of non-loneliness, 
such as going to watch an action movie. 

Sometimes, I will find a friend 
to have a drink or yum cha. 
It often happens that the friend 
who comes to meet me tells me that 
he is experiencing occasional loneliness, 
and he is very happy that 
I came to his rescue at the right time 
to create a feeling of non-loneliness for him.







Mree - Kiki's Song

Up in the clouds, 
I am free, I am open
The start of a life on my own 
(on my own)
Way down below, little town full of people
People that I'd like to know
With a peck on the cheek and 
a bag full of pastries
The goodies I bring on the bend
One last goodbye and 
a turn to my family
All waving like birds on the fence
Oh, I make my way down 
with a smile to the market
Saying, "Good morning, good day"
But oh, when I wake up alone, 
there are tears on my pillow
No use in dreaming today
But I'm wild (I am wild), 
I am free (I am free)
Like a fire in the dark, 
I am turning the key
And in time (and in time), 
I will see (I will see)
I have everything I want, 
I have all that I need
Like a leaf in summer dreams
I'm floating back to you
Oh, lay with me in melodies
All humming back for you
Oh, like a leaf in summer dreams
I'm floating back to you
Oh, lay with me in melodies
All humming back for you
Oh, like a leaf in summer dreams
I'm floating back to you
Oh, lay with me in melodies
All humming back for you

A Story Without Ending

Every story must end,
yet not every story has a true ending.






川崎鷹也-エンドロール


嗚嗚嗚啊啊嗚嗚嗚啊啊
故事的結尾,
意想不到的事情正在等待著,
而這個故事的走向,
就像片尾字幕一樣,
似乎永無止境。
我喜歡你平常的笑聲,
喜歡你抽煙的樣子,
喜歡你略顯成熟的表情,
喜歡你的一切,
啊,我喜歡,啊。
但你身邊卻有人在笑。
這不像亞當和夏娃,
這是一個有點悲傷的故事,
一段我無法忘記的回憶。
這個故事的主角永遠不會被辜負。
故事的其餘部分並非從我的視角出發,
所以我沒有足夠的力量放棄,
繼續前進。
我越想,它就越是洶湧澎湃,
越是崩潰。
但我無法恨你,這令人沮喪,
我想我永遠無法成為一個堅強的女主角。
這是一個有點悲傷的故事,
一段我不想忘記的回憶。 
「我愛你。」
我愛你,啊,我愛你,啊,
但你身邊卻有人在笑。
這不像亞當和夏娃,
這是一個有點悲傷的故事,
一段我無法忘記的記憶,
一首我無法演奏的旋律。


 

Early Morning vs Late Night

Usually, I sleep around 10 to 11 pm 
at night and 
wake up around 4 to 5 am 
in the early “morning” (早睡晨起).

But recently, I find that I am, in fact, 
waking up around 4 to 5 am 
at “night” (早睡夜起).

My state of mind around 4 to 5 am is 
a nighttime state of mind rather than 
a morning state of mind.

For me, the creativity in 
my nighttime state of mind 
is very different from 
the creativity in 
my morning state of mind, 
which I have recently discovered from 
the output of my creative works 
made during this period of time.



南拳媽媽 - 夜鐘
作詞:林理惠 作曲:宇豪


瞳孔中的衣袖 
伸出了你的手 
冰冷的無法形容 
追逐的畫面中 
你憂傷的笑容 
幸福卻擦身而走

越是夜幕低垂 
鐘擺就擺盪的越是低迴
不願意回想的從前就延伸到
對街三樓的空房間
時間直逼十二的臨界點 
好不容易我把思緒拉回
是什麼人想喚起什麼樣的從前 
我微微的闔上眼

瞳孔中的衣袖 
伸出了你的手
 冰冷的無法形容 
追逐的畫面中 
你憂傷的笑容 
幸福卻擦身而走

我看見了你的臉 
你就是笑那麼微甜
頭髮隱藏的背後刻著一道傷痕 
我還是無法理解
牽著你的手走在已經荒癈的第三條街
我想起了你是誰 
未完成的從前 
隨夜鐘消逝不見

瞳孔中的衣袖 
伸出了你的手 
冰冷的無法形容 
追逐的畫面中 
你憂傷的笑容 
幸福卻擦身而走
瞳孔中的衣袖 
伸出了你的手 
冰冷的無法形容 
追逐的畫面中 
你憂傷的笑容 
幸福卻擦身而走

瞳孔中的衣袖 
伸出了你的手
冰冷的無法形容
追逐的畫面中 
你憂傷的笑容 
幸福卻擦身而走

瞳孔中的衣袖 
伸出了你的手 
冰冷的無法形容

我看見了你的臉 
你就是笑的那麼微甜 
頭髮隱藏的背後刻著一道傷痕
我還是無法理解 
不願意回想從前 
不願意回想從前 
就延伸到對街不見

追逐的畫面中 
你憂傷的笑容 
幸福卻擦身而走

牽著你的手走在荒癈三條街 
我想起了你是誰 
未完成的從前
還是無法理解 
隨夜鐘消逝不見 
想喚起從前 
就只好微微的闔上眼
