有创作就好了
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

Gone are the Trees
- Nadine Laporte, WHRC
As far as I am concerned with increasing bald area on top of my head,
I feel equally sad when I see the balding patches at my hometown.
Where it was green and hill-y one year ago,
big pieces of land are now bright red and flat.
Even after I returned after a few months,
no progress was found.
Even if there are trees planted in developed areas,
they are often small, thin,
and planted far apart.
Do they need to terminate hectares of trees so early prior to their 'project'?
I have seen several areas where the bright red land is left to rot for years,
just in Rawang alone.
It doesn't seem that they really plan whether land clearing is neccessary
or execute construction according to plan.
Without trees,
we are exposed to the burning sun.
With less trees,
we breath in more carbon dioxide and dust.
With less trees,
our environment is getting hotter.
It is a sad case.
The phenomenon of unwise use of land at my home has not change much,
since I start moving here 10 years ago.
I don't think it will really improve,
until we are too late.
Each time I see a bald patch on our land,
it stings me.

Empty
For a long while, I have been feeling empty. I have been putting this feeling aside for many times. But it is still there. Like I am living in a dream. I don't feel real. Don't feel solid.
...
Let it be. Empty feelings in the inner soul can't be filled by clinging to external objects, actions or even relationships. Look within. Look within. Sit still. Watch the beautiful world around. Count blessings. Be mindful. Be grateful. Be compassionate. Observe.
The Triple Gems will guide me through my way. I take refuge in the Buddha, my teacher (not idol). I take refuge in the Dharma, his teachings. I take refuge in the Sangha, the community of practitioners.
With palms folded. Thank you, world. I love the world, the people, my family, my friends and myself, no matter what you have given me, even if I feel empty.
I am not worried or saddened by this 'emptiness'. It is just an emotion. It is just a mode of information. One day it will reveal a piece of previously unknown information about myself.
Up til now, not much regrets in my life. Just do my best and leave the rest.

放手的爱
掺杂着
失去的恐惧
利己的欲望
以致我为“爱”的人
绑上了一圈又一圈的枷锁
枷锁连着许多条鱼线
系在我的手指
我越“爱”
拉得越紧
我“爱”的人喘气挣扎
颈项手臂被磨得黑青
手指的血也一滴滴沿着鱼线流
————
我的爱经常被提炼
加入了
刚打开的第三只眼
和带着自信独立花纹的枕头
以致我为爱的人
献上一条窜了很多鼓励与祝福的项链
也为自己戴上了一模一样的项链
我越爱
越集中精神地瞭望
我爱的人奔跑探索时注意到了
停下脚步望回我
我们轻轻地抚摸着自己的项链
因为项链传递着对方的心跳

Challenge
Every work day is a game.
Every cold calling is a round of small fightings and going through roadblocks.
Every appointment is a session with the 'Big Boss'.
Play hard, but play smart.

诗人
“Er...因为我想你变成诗人。”
(心里想)“什么是诗人?”
这是我小学时一段模糊的情景
爸爸坐在懒惰椅
考虑了几秒才回答
仿佛从来没有想过我名字的意思
而当场编一个给我听
就算到了中学知道诗人是什么
却察觉不到我哪里像个诗人
甚至发觉自己并没有太多艺术天分
直到大二遇见了伯乐
第一次听到有人说我的文笔很好
我才放心地在创作的天空中张开翅膀
现在我静下来
就会看见
一男一女在我脑里上演舞台剧
泰山在路边大树上摇脚
快餐店里的店员和食客唱着百老汇歌曲
还有
心里的小小诗人忘我地跳舞

Corridor of Doors
But now it is locked, with a different set of key-code.
I knocked on it, talked to it,
while holding fresh colourful flowers behind my back.
The door replied with silence.
The air has slowly condensed into dense droplets.
Rain would fall on me in this corridor in ten minutes.
I just wanted to say,
thank you
for offering me a place to
stay, groom and transform.
And
you are truly beautiful and inspiring.
Just in case you got me wrong when I left.
When you are ready one day,
I could drop by again.
The flowers leaned against the opposite wall
and listened to the diminishing footsteps,
while breathing out a fragrance of respect and good wishes.
There are many more doors yet to be explored.
Til we meet again. Smile!

由谁来决定规则 没有这样的必要
而日曲很多摇滚歌具有丰富的音乐感。
喜欢这首歌的意境和勇敢。
我也是,不相信盲首规则。
《Rule》 - Dragonball Evolution 主题曲
作词与歌唱:Ayumi Hamasaki 作曲:Miki Watanabe
由谁来决定规则
没有这样的必要
但这是我们的规则
我们绝不让步
在这个时代,到底哪里还有希望
我们只能相信肉眼不见,触摸不到的事物
我只是沉默着,闭上眼,点着头
但是我们的确清楚地感觉到它们的联系
由谁来决定规则
没有这样的必要
但这是我们的规则
我们绝不让步
这个世界还不是应被舍弃的
即使乌云密布
我仍充分相信有着谁我是可以信任的
我深深呼吸,然后高声疾呼
那一天是你教会我一切并不是偶然,是必然的!
那一成不变的无聊规则
我并不想受之约束
就由我和你
把这规则打破
坚强到柔弱
柔弱到坚强的转换的一刹起
我感受到那些
可怕的事物已不复存在
由谁来决定规则
没有这样的必要
但这是我们的规则
我们绝不让步
*Warning! Noisy song ahead!*

等火车
站在
没有云的蓝天下的
空旷的绿绿的草原中的
红褐色的铁路的旁边
手中
拿着
朋友的妈妈送的
布制的深绿色的
只装着三天衣服及两本小说的
旅行袋
前后左右
连一只小鸟或老鼠的小生命都没有
只有我静静地
望着
听着
走着
期待着
会有火车经过吗?
或一群牛仔骑着马追过来?
或卧虎藏龙电影里的沙漠山贼?
这没有云的天空很晒
我还以为整块地是面镜子
还有那没有人说话的声音很响
我以为我聋了
看不见尽头的铁路
我觉得我不可能走到下一站
下一辆火车会何时经过?
它
会为我停下
让我上车吗?

[Science News] Doctors Endorse Well-planned Vegan And Vegetarian Diets For Healthy Pregnancies
"Experts agree that pregnant women can thrive on vegan diets. The American Dietetic Association, the nation's largest organization of food and nutrition professionals, states that "well-planned vegan and other types of vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence." Vegetarian diets offer a number of nutritional benefits, including lower levels of saturated fat and cholesterol and higher levels of fiber, folate, and cancer-fighting antioxidants and phytochemicals.
'Women who follow vegan diets not only have healthy pregnancies, they are often healthier than moms who consume meat," says Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., staff dietitian with PCRM. "By eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, and other healthful vegetarian foods and including breakfast cereals or other foods fortified with vitamin B12, mothers and their children can obtain all the nutrients they need to thrive.'
Choosing a vegetarian or vegan diet can also help women avoid the unhealthy hormones and environmental toxins found in dairy products, meat, and fish. Analyses of vegetarians' breast milk show that the levels of environmental contaminants in milk are much lower than in non-vegetarians.
Vitamin B12 needs can be met easily with fortified breakfast cereals and soymilk, which are low in fat and calories. The most convenient and reliable B12 source is a daily multivitamin."
____________
There are two major kinds of diets for people who don't consume meat:
1. Ovo-lacto vegetarian don't take meat and seafood, but they still take eggs, milk and dairy products.
2. Vegans go further. They don't take eggs, milk, dairy products and anything that comes from animals.
Vitamin B12:
- Mainly found in: animal products like eggs, meat, poultry, shellfish, milk, and milk products. Yeast and microbes may also produce vitamin B12.
- One of the main concerns of not taking meat, is the lack of vitamin B12.
- Danger! Lack of vitamin B12 in pregnant mothers can cause neural defects to their babies and tiredness or memory loss in normal individuals.
- 1 cup of yoghurt serves 25% of our daily requirements, 1 cup of milk 15%, 1 hard-boiled egg 10%. Of course some meat may contain a higher amounts of vitamin B12.
(U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service. 2003. USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 16. Nutrient Data Laboratory Home Page, http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/cgi-bin/nut_search.pl.)
- More details can be found in Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet: Vitamin B12 by National Institutes of Health.
My conclusion is, if not taking egg/dairy products, one has to make careful plannings to substitute the loss of vitamin B12, especially so for pregnant and lactating mothers.

FIRST run - 4.3km
Wan Wen and I have just participated in the International Women's Day Fun Run/Walk at the Bedok Reservoir two days ago. (Thank you ww for coming with me!) I was very excited as I can finally put my "jog-once-a-week" training into test.
There were many young people and aunties in the fun run/walk, not to mention several Ang Mohs and a pet dog. (Was the lady in the picture amazed to see Ww and me?)
The scenery was not bad at Bedok Reservoir so we didn't feel bored at all. The only concern was the sky seemed more than eager to pour water on the runners and walkers. The run was not stressful to my body, in less than 34 minutes, we managed to finish 4.3km run. We even bumped into C Pearl at the finish line.
Heavy rain poured in after we finished. Probably our 4.3km run is just a warm-up for our dash -for-shelter at this time. We left with a goodie bag each, a sexy sports singlet, a PROUD heart and a hungry stomach.
Thank you organisers: Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations and NTU final year students.
I enjoy jogging. I really feel more confident and stronger after exercising for a period of time.
Next target: 10km-run.

【转帖】西班牙研究:祖父母帶大的孩子更懂事
西班牙‧研究:心理更健康成長‧祖父母帶大的孩子更懂事
星洲日報/國際‧2009.03.01(西班牙‧馬德里)據報導,一項最新的研究顯示,由家中的“老年人”照看有利於孩子們在心理方面的健康成長。
西班牙《世界報》報導,在英國的1010所學校中,耶路撒冷的希伯來大學和英國的倫敦大學的研究人員對近1515個年齡在11至16歲之間的學生進行了問卷調查。
更健談
樂於參與活動
結果顯示,與沒有老人照顧的學生相比,那些與祖父母住在一起的孩子更加健談,樂於參加社會活動,不易患多動症,而且言談舉止也更加得體。
研究人員認為,在那些來自單親和“重組”家庭、卻能與祖輩住在一起的孩子身上,這種積極效果更加明顯。
研究人員說,學校和社會救助中心等公共機構“應當承認老人有能力為未成年人提供情感方面的支持,尤其是那些來自破碎家庭的孩子”。
另一方面,祖輩的心理健康狀況也可以在照顧孫輩的過程中得到改善。
我是祖母带大的。Yeah!
说真的,我有认真考虑以后孩子由家婆或我妈带。
我很享受被我嫲嫲管教的过程。
听
她怎么经历失去丈夫还要带着六个孩子抚养成人、
“唐山”(中国)如何生活、
日本人统治他们3年8个月多么可怕
种种的故事。
是她教我惜福,不要浪费食物。
是她教我“入庙拜神,入屋叫人”。
是她教我孩子不可以只是打骂,还要解释倒他明白为止。
我爱她,希望嫲嫲身体健康!

大发现!蓝奕邦!
偶然之间点选他最新的专辑听,
发现它们有着英式摇滚的作风,
正是我喜欢的类型!
再上YouTube找找他的歌,
发现他有一首歌叫热带鱼。
热带鱼,曾是我写的一则小故事的主角。
在此献给你们听。
好喜欢这首歌的风格!
原来,他是个香港本地创作歌手、作曲人、填词人、舞台剧演员。他的音乐风格从原音,电子元素,到现在我刚刚听到的英式摇滚及爵士都有。他还曾为许多著名歌手填词作曲,如梁静茹、林忆莲、容祖儿、刘德华等。包括梁静茹《Fly away》的曲就是他作的。
懂得创作、自弹自唱、歌唱有感觉、风格豪爽,
他会不会取代方大同在我心中的位置呢?
对他有兴趣的话,可留意他的部落格《叫我藍邦》。
热带鱼
曲:蓝奕邦 | 词:蓝奕邦 | 编:蓝奕邦/李汉金
*热带鱼
鱼缸中一双一对 谈不上挥之则去
大家不想太疲累 功课做完大觉睡
鱼缸中懒惰浮游 得过且过的屈居 不进则退 *
兴那个 跟那个 抄个够吧 书报里 推介过 然后你又赞它
大红人 穿着过 所以着吧 总会有 AB餐 无谓费神去拣
天光必然有天黑 根本不用计算吧
思想保持最简单 等个笨人站前哨
讲的不是你所想 别做突出的那个
不需多动脑思考 逃避现实做哑巴
Repeat *
兴那个 听那个 起势唱吧 他会舞 双截棍
然后你又去耍 大红人 讲那套 反战说话
因你怕 跟不上 然后你又去反
催谷心灵喝鸡汤 纤体矫形再美白
追捧他人爱追的 帮个犯人做横额
偏激将弊处指出 受尽大家的怪责
不需多动脑思考 逃避现实做哑巴
热带鱼
鱼缸中针锋相对 谈不上挥之则去
大家不想太疲累 只要做人没顾虑
谁都可照样浮游 开心得有点心虚
烂泥一堆或是物以类聚

Fish with a Transparent Head
"This fish might look made for science—or just plain made-up—but it's 100-percent real. First described in 1939, this "barreleye" has been somewhat of a mystery to science. But researchers from the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute were recently able to catch one of the deep-sea creatures and study it in a shipboard aquarium. They've learned that the fish can actually rotate its eyes upward to peer through its transparent, liquid-filled head. It's believed that the green color of the eyes (seen here looking sky-ward) might help to filter out sunlight so the fish can better spot its prey—glowing jellyfish—from its stomping grounds 2,000-2,600 feet (600-800 meters) below the surface."
Article by Katherine Harmon, 26 Feb 2009 at Scientific American.

Hi fish with transparent head and rotating eyes! Nice to meet you! This is such an interesting finding. We humans have so much more we don't know.

拭目以待
听了,很有能量与希望。
歌词,句句在表达这我现在的心声。
后来才发现,是本地(新加坡是我们的邻居,比较起中港台,它是本地)创作。
唱歌、写词曲都是我以前欣赏的:红毛派与小寒。
每一口呼气,我们离开过去,
每一口吸气,我们走向未来。
重生在呼吸间。
在这经济不景气的时段,
有些人找工,有些人找姻缘,有些人找人生的意义。
就让我们不要害怕,不要被打垮,
对过去检讨放下,
对未来拭目以待,
活好现在。
由于这首歌没有MV,只能用《我的未来不是梦》的片头影片。你可以直接scroll下去看歌词。我想分享的是词曲唱哦!还有黄俊雄很帅。
拭目以待

第一次的過失 才發現 心中有把真理的尺
勇氣它原來這裡開始
每一次的得失 決定著 我明天是什麼樣子
塞滿理想的城市淚水變成了奢侈
微笑是對自己的懂事
我願意拭目以待
去等待每份色彩
拭目以待我打造什麼未來
時間是個郵差 按時遞送題材
我的夢我主宰你最明白
每一次的錯失 會發現 緊握空拳頭的手指
緊握的是跳躍 的堅持
偶而會有迷失 決定著 人的幸福最後地址
成長沒有方程式跟隨真心的聖旨
你是我 最值得的固執
拭目以待
去期待每份精彩
拭目以待那是怎樣的未來
我用雙手撐開 天空 每片的陰霾
我的夢我主宰風雨不改

Happy valentine
He gives me
emotional freedom,
trust,
loads of sayang,
Dharmic support,
attention when I need it
and patience.
We should remain mindful of ourselves and the relationship.
To hell with my excessive worries about failure in the future
and live the present moment to the fullest!
As the future is constructed by each pieces of "present moment"s.

Sea Ming Blue
I can be quite happy and suddenly, a big wave of blue swept me off my feet. The past unhappy memories began to drown me before I am able to stand up. The bitter-sour water come berduyun-duyun-ly (consecutive waves) until it suffocates me.
I need help. I need to do something or else I will go crazy at this short period of time.
Being mindful that these thoughts are not what I really think, I see them as a kind of mental sickness which will relapse until the past is fully let go of. Wo ming bai this is just part of the mood swing.
All in all, these water, upon analysis, do tell me something about the sea. It still needs time before it is self-sustainable.
The moral of the story:
1. Too much of attachment, really brings suffering.
2. Don't give yourself email names such as seamingblue@yahoo.com.
3. DO SOMETHING! Exercise! Eat healthily! Speak out problems! And constantly be MINDFUL.
My first post!
Welcome to my blog!
This new year, marks an exceptional milestone for me.
I have graduated from the academic world, just got together with my boyfriend, decided to let go of the past, and I start to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
I yearned for a blog for some time. I love to express my thoughts. As much as I converse better in Chinese, I feel that I can write better in English. So my blog will have a mixture of both languages =p
New year (not so new ya, haha). New status. New mindset.
Bon voyage!
