He plays computer games, I talk

Different people has different ways of dealing with stress/feeling down
I know some guys don't like to talk about it
They play games, eat, sleep etc
I have to talk about it, or write about it

Why am I (or us Venus people) like that?
No explanations needed.
Just like tigers eat meat, cows eat grass. (quote from 许冠文 Michael Hui's talk show)
We are like that.

When we talk
Just listen and empathize
No need solutions, no need to explain too much what happened, why like that etc
Unless you see that we are like, asking for advice
Because... usually we know what we should do
Saying our feelings out is the way we de-stress
The most important is.. don't judge

Like now, I am just saying out with no particular reason and not to anyone in particular
Especially when he always listen when I talk :p

Beautiful :)
Experiential o_o
Love... :$

Recommend: must watch 3D in cinemas!


**Caution: spoilers ahead**








Though.. can't help but think that

Avatar =
Princess Mononoke 幽灵公主 (anime on humans want to conquer forest, forest creatures detest, city man fall in love with jungle girl, there was also a sacred jungle, whole story focus on protecting the environment)
+ Laputa: Castle in the Sky (anime on flying cities)
+ Blue Hole 蓝洞 (manga that I read 10 years ago, humans travel into the land of dinosaurs and stupidly wanted to destroy the mighty sacred tree)
+ Surrogates (humans hook on machines and living themselves through robots)
+ Pocahontas ('civilised' people travel into new land, one 'civilised' man fall in love with tribal girl)
+ Captivating Art + Advance 3D-Effects


Watched many movies with similar contents. It is so sien that I can rarely feel superbly AWED by a movie. Eg, there are so many movies on saving the environment already that even me as a tree-hugger feel numb.

Fortunately, the world created in Avatar is really beautiful. I always love trees and fantasies anyway. Even if the contents were cliche to me, I still enjoyed the whole movie and experience. There were unexpected wonders in Pandora. Enjoyed traveling in Avatar. Enjoyed the journey with teddy bear. Enjoyed the colours and the love.

有创作就好了

懒洋洋
躲在房间晒太阳
聆听五月天
翻着女友时尚杂志
幻想到Barcelona照相、穿得时尚到New York Central Park散步


发现自己竟会带来自由
在外向、好动的拼块
加入新的拼块--“爱创作(事物)”
这里‘创作’是个很好听、很浪漫的用词
不单只文艺创作(反正我不是那么厉害,呵呵)
也包括安排活动、忘情唱歌、大声说故事、写部落格

现在看见一幅新的图画
傻傻的诗铭平凡地活着
纵然现在没有大事业、大成就、大能力
反正已经知道方向
有不断地做我爱做的事情就好了
有创作就好了

Tarot Reading

Yesterday was the first time I got a Tarot reading, although as a Pisces-day-dreamer I was very intrigued by it for a long time. Surprisingly, most of the things he said are quite accurate. Fun! Thank you tarot consultant.























1. My personality
I am a creative person, I like to create things. Recently I was quite upset with something, but things will get better. So now I should reflect more and see things clearly.
He gave me another insight of me, that is I LIKE TO CREATE THINGS. Hell YES I DO. That explains a lot of my career and life direction!!

2. My relationship
There is a new guy in my life, which brings a lot of vigor and freshness to me. This will be a steady and good relationship.
:$ :$ So true.. Hope all's well ends well with him..

3. My self-development
As I like to create things, and another point I have that forgotten what he said, I tend to spend a lot. Have to control my financial expenses.
Different, different. Quite the opposite, I am a very "kedekut" person. Every time I spend money I easily feel guilty. Will take note then, probably it represents another thing rather than financial situations?

4. My career
My career is developing slow at the moment, it is not the time to harvest yet. Forgotten his advice on what to do next.
Just do it!!

5. To conclude
I am now in a searching mode, and lost touch of what is in front of me. Have to find my bearing.
True.. I am literally searching most of the time, and lost touch of the present moment, of what I already have. The one Ah-HA insight is that I like to create. Start to get ideas of what I can do with my life. And this is also a grounding reminder that I have to be more mindful and focused.

Searching for My Destiny


I always thought I am clear of what I want in life, what I like to do etc. Not until started job hunting and working.

I am sure about my goal in life: to make the world a better place. It is not really saving the world. It is simply leaving a clean profit, bringing more benefits to the world rather than minuses. My final career, has to be directly contributing to the benefits of the society, whether it is working with old people, orphans, or teaching etc.

But what is my profession in my life? Looking at my strengths and interests. I can say that I like dealing with people, come up with creative (stupid) ideas, keep things nice and tidy and fun. Having got out of Food Science and decided that this is not something that has me burning with passion, I don't have much basic for other career profession. I like marketing, but I don't have any backgrounds in marketing. I don't mind teaching or in non-profit organisations but just want to work in somewhere else first.

Searching, thinking, examining with personality tests... I bump into a few articles in my Google Search which gave me a new perspective of my soul (career) search.

“It isn’t normal to know what we want. It is a rare and difficult psychological achievement.” - psychologist Abraham Maslow

What I just realised is, I can never find out what I am meant to be, just by sitting there and analysing alone. I have to do the work and experience, only I get to feel what is suitable. Be in the moment.

"Moments matter most. Build off of a few strong moments, follow the path they lay out for you, and trust your direction. They will not let you down." - Marcus Buckingham, Oprah article on "How Do I Discover My Purpose"

Guess for now, let go of searching. Just do it and ehi passiko (means "come and see" in Pali language)! As my future is built by all the present moments. If the moments are fitting and fantastic, so will my future be :)

明天一定会更好

不知道是自己容易满足还是神经太大条
觉得自己一生的经历算是顺畅的
虽然是有不幸的事情发生在家里或自己身上
过了一段时间,连痛苦的感觉也忘了,剩下历史性记载的回忆
而且无论好坏与否,许多过去的事情都带来了成长空间与发展机会

总觉得,我一定会得到好收获
直到前一年认识 The Secret 的吸引力法则 (Law of Attraction)
开始怀疑这道理是不是可以解释我的遭遇?
它的提倡,让我更相信,明天会更好

只要真心对待每一个人,不管他如何回报你
只要帮助人时,自己也要清醒,懂得保护自己
只要保持正念,不要成天抱怨
只要记得,我来到这世界上要带来什么、得到什么
我一定会如愿以偿
就算得不到我要的结果
正面的思维和态度也会让我的人生充满朝气

吸引力法则在我身上应验了。明天会更好。

Addiction

Isn't addiction scary? You know you have to stop, but you just can't stop. Even if you stop for a period of time, once you pick it up, the whole string of addiction come back to live. The emotional mind just can't be controlled by pure logical reasoning. There has to be something, some way other than discipline, to counteract addiction. Something that directly engages the emotional mind, distracts it and lure it to somewhere more productive. There has to be an action that can substitute the act of committing the addiction. That action has to be fun, so that it is easier to start it...


Addiction to procrastination. Addiction to worry. Addiction to feelings. Addiction to past. Addiction to instant noodles. Addiction to staying up late. Addiction to reading.
