Original song: 如果时间来到 (Cantonese)

作曲：邓智伟；填词：张美贤；编曲：Johnny Yim； 监制：邓智伟

I have actually edited the following lyrics to suit my current feelings. Hope it doesn't sound too weird. (Not as if many will chance upon this page.)

就让剧情来预告 心所有苦衷

原谅欺骗 谁可动容

就像突然明白到 时间再多

信任你 没法办到

还想走近 竟使我放慢脚步

人越近伤心更重

准我用歌声 如泣如诉

心中苦愁 留在万尺天牢

我太骄傲 情愿用笑声 代愁云密布

不讲一声心痛的苦衷

请记住时间 如果来到

记住止步 别揭穿剧情 让我再痛

暗自上路 去解决问题 盼回幸福中

眼泪跌之时痛楚更重 可惜没人知道

没幸运有个知己 分享生活 爱不疚 难度更高 最伤的夜 星光会继续引路 沉默亦可感觉到

准我用歌声 如泣如诉

心中苦愁 留在万尺天牢

我太骄傲 情愿用笑声 代愁云密布

不讲一声心痛的苦衷

请记住时间 如果来到

记住止步 别揭穿剧情 让我再痛

暗自上路 去解决问题 盼回幸福中 眼泪跌之时寂寞更重 仿佛没人知道

Clarity of life

Life's never certain...

Ever heard of this:" The only certainty in life is uncertainty."

Who ever imagine that the whole world will slip into a global recession in September last year?

Who ever expect mega MNCs to become bankrupt?

Who can know for sure that MJ will die so suddenly?

If only we are able to secure a perfect eye-sight and view the world with 100% clarity, we may evade most problems, prevent catastrophe, love our dear ones timely and appropriately.

But life's never perfect, life's never clear, life's never certain.

Likewise, problems in life are the uncertainties in a steady-state of life that we adopt. Humans are habitual animals. We hate disruptions, in general, to our plans, our habits, our targets, our dreams. However, there's no way we can change the rule of nature as things changed and evolved. And we can only learn to adapt to uncertainties, adapt to changes, adapt to problems.

Similarly in running, I once decided to run in a state of blur. I made up my mind not to see the things around me too clearly... as it hurts with clarity; ironically. I took off my specs and I ran as fast as I could in the mysterious, unfamiliar, dark night. Every steps I took, I took it cautiously, afraid of falling down. However, humans being habitual animals, I soon learnt to accustom to the motion and environment and I am able to run harder with more confidence.

Moral of the story: We hate to be in an environment strange to us. Yet, unfortunately, we are often too overwhelmed unnecessarily by the dis-clarity in life, or more appropriately in the uncertainty of our future. I wouldn't say things will definitely turn out fine and we will not fall, however if we don't try, we wouldn't know if we will emerge stronger, out of the problems in life. It's only when we give it a try, which is when we become more clear of the options laid in front of us. It's only when we never stop running, even in the states of blur, where we know we may be able to overcome the darkness and fear in ourselves.

Hope this understanding will bring me far and I can persevere as I foresee a tsunami of problems awaiting me in the near future.

If only, my problems can be solved.....

Purpose of life

This topic must have been talked about by thousands and millions of people, religion, missionaries and many others. And right here at this very spot, a personal space of mine, it will solely and only focus on the purpose of my life or rather my ideologies of life.

Somehow I reckon that slowly as the days gone by, the life experiences I have gained throughout the little and big hurdles life brought me through, if I am still standing strong; hopefully and sitting right in front of my laptop typing another post, I am indeed giving life another chance and thus the relevance of the purpose?/importance? of life.

And running.. as literal as it is.. I will always be running.. running away from the Ps of life i.e. PROBLEMS.
