Translation


Tell me where there are rainbows
Can you give me back my wish?
Why is the sky so tranquil?
All the clouds have come to where I am

Have you got a mouth mask you can give me?
I let go and said too much, then those things can't be realised
Perhaps time is a kind of cure
It is also the poison I am taking right now

If I can't see your smile
How can I get to sleep
Your voice is so near yet I can't hold you
The sun will still spin without the earth
I can still walk by myself without a reason

You need to leave
I know it's very simple
You said that reliance
Was our obstacle
Even if you let go
But can you not confiscate my love?
Just pretend that I only understood at the end

If I can't see your smile
How can I get to sleep
Your voice is so near yet I can't hold you
The sun will still spin without the earth
I can still walk by myself without a reason
I let go and say too much, then those things can't be realised
Perhaps time is a kind of cure
It is also the poison I am taking right now

Friends in the Heart [朋友在心中]

People said : "Never Judge a Book by Its Cover"

Friendship,
just like any ordinary journey of a ship,
be it just a 'sampan' or a ship as grand as the 'Titanic",
has its own obstacles to face.

I have been in a lot of friendships in these 20 odd years of life. I must say, some are great, some are balanced, and some are disappointing...

Friendship,
is something I would like to keep as treasure,
it is also something which I cherish,
it is precious to me because I believe
'No Man is an Island',

I remember watching a TVB Drama Series; if I'm not mistaken, the actor likes the actress but the actress does not like the actor; they choose to remain as friends and they like to use this phrase: 朋友在心中, meaning "Friends in the Heart". Whenever there is something 'extraordinary' going in between them they will repeat this phrase between themselves.

Friends in the Heart,
I spent some time thinking what is meant by this phrase:
does it mean:
even we do not talk to each other, we are "Friends in the Heart"?;
does it mean:
even if one day we do not keep in touch anymore, we are still "Friends in the Heart"?;
does it mean:
so long as we remember each other in our hearts, we are "Friends in the Heart"?;
does it mean:
so long as we care from our hearts but with no action, we are "Friends in the Heart"?;
does it mean:
we pray for our friends, we are "Friends in the Heart"?

There are a lot of people in the world. In our lives, we get to meet with different people and from here, we build friendships in different scenarios, at different time and places. Some people would like to say that it's all about timing; meaning, at the time we meet, we may not notice each other till some time later.

An example, MGA and I were from the same primary school and eventually we went to the same high school. We just knew each other's presence but we never consider each other as 'friends'. At that time, I consider that we are from different world. I am Chinese, she is Indian. Besides, there are lots of differences between both of us. Honestly, I thought she was a snob (that was my initial impression on her). We were in the same class in Form 4, and from then on we started to build our friendship together. NOW, we are good friends=)

So, is this about timing?

A friend told me there are four (4) types of friendship:
(1) normal hi-bye friends
(2) good friends
(3) soulmate
(4) love-ship (i.e. couple)

To me, I seldom make clear categorisation when making friends. So long as I feel comfortable to open myself to this friendship, I would term it as a good ship. Of course, that would also mean that I'm opening myself to a higher risk of being hurt. However, isn't friendship comes from our hearts?

Sometimes I feel that I get disappointed easily. Although I have no one else to blame but myself (for not wearing my protective gear wisely), I never regretted to have put my efforts in the ship. At times, the effort may be one-sided but come to think of it, I feel that so long as I have done the right thing, there is nothing to regret about. Besides, it is up to the other side to decide whether they would want to contribute to the friendship. If they do not, then I have just invested in a 'bad' ship.

A friend once commented that I hate being hurt but I consent to it. To a certain extent, I would agree with this piece of comment. Deep inside, I really hate being betrayed, especially when I have put my trust in the person. However, I just have to take it as a lesson to help me grow.

When I talk about trust, I would like to relate this to my introduction : "Never Judge a Book by Its Cover"...

Actually, it is not easy to gain my trust. The fact that I tell almost the whole world about myself does not mean that I trust that person. It's just that by nature, I like to share about myself, and if I am in a bad mood, I always feel better after sharing it out. My Mom always advised me not to tell people too much about myself and I have to learn to be more reserved [含蓄]; even my friends have advised me so. Well, I can be blunt and straight at times. Perhaps, I should take their advice, so that I won't scare people away.

So, to say "Never Judge a Book by Its Cover", meaning, there are a lot of things we cannot judge by just looking into the situation. For instance, although from appearance A and B look like buddies, but deep inside, is that so?

Over the years, I must say, I still treasure friendship, just that to a lesser extent. I feel that we must keep an open heart when making friends. I have met some that make friends with other purpose other than pure friendship, which I would personally think that it is quite a shallow act because by doing so, a friendship might be 'lost'. After all, it is always better to have a friend than to have an enemy.

I had a sharing with a sister just recently; she makes me realise that there are a lot of people in this world - some are active, some are passive. A passive person may not know how to express themselves but that does not mean that they do not appreciate the friendship. Although action does speak louder than words, we
must not forget that balance is the key in everything.

L.O.V.E



Love is patient, Love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.


And now these three remain:

faith, hope and love.

But the greatest of these is LOVE.


Isn't LOVE wonderful? Especially God's LOVE, which is unconditional...
