无题

你介意我问你一个问题吗？

就这样，又谈起了。

回答得很潇洒。

只是这小石头依然激起了层层的涟漪。

原来，我还是害怕朋友突然的关心。

害怕安静的夜晚。

害怕连自己都不了解的自己。

--聆听着:五月天 《突然想起你》--

影子

你 给 我 一 个 到 那 片 天 空 的 地 址
只 因 为 太 高 摔 得 我 血 流 不 止
带 着 伤 口 回 到 当 初 背 叛 的 城 市
唯 一 收 容 我 的 却 是 自 己 的 影 子

聆听着:袁惟仁 - 梦醒了

不甘心？

执著，是因为不甘心，还是不愿承认自己的失败？

The wounds remain

Come across this quote by Rose Kennedy

"It has been said,'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens, But it never gone."

The wounds remain.

想家 乡愁

一个人到日本留学这几年，虽然自由，虽然精彩，可是对家的感觉从来都不曾忘。

想家。最近这感觉特别浓烈。是我累了吗？还是因为这个冬天太冷，还是因为今天没办法回家吃团圆饭？

没办法，只有靠歌曲解乡愁。

罗大佑- 乡愁四韵

给我一瓢长江水啊长江水，
酒一样的长江水，
醉酒的滋味，
是乡愁的滋味，
给我一瓢长江水啊长江水。
　
给我一张海棠红啊海棠红，
血一样的海棠红，
沸血的烧痛，
是乡愁的烧痛，
给我一张海棠红啊海棠红。
　
给我一片雪花白啊雪花白，
信一样的雪花白，
家信的等待，
是乡愁的等待，
给我一片雪花白啊雪花白。
　
给我一朵腊梅香啊腊梅香，
母亲一样的腊梅香，
母亲的芬芳，
是乡土的芬芳，
给我一朵腊梅香啊腊梅香。


　
这其实是一首现代诗，作者是余光中。读过他的作品并不多，却很喜欢他的文章。有机会的话不妨去读一读。

最后还是要祝大家新年快乐，万事如意！

好了，发完乡愁是该回去工作了。

Mistake

We all make mistakes it in our life. The problem is not about making mistakes , we cannot avoid it. The thing we need to face is how we deal with it.

Some people will see mistake as an ugly scar on their body, which they desperately want to erase, and get rid of it. But the pain will still hunt them down.

Some people will just take the mistake as a birthmark. A sign that will always remind them that was the mistake that make them who they are. And someday in the future, mistake will not be a mistake, but a story of life. The bitters will turn sweet, and the tears will turn into smiles.

Scar or birthmark. This is your choice.

我听他们的歌长大

在yuotube发现了宝。

可能我发现得太迟了，不过还是要在这里贴一贴。







看完了好过瘾。再看一遍。

穿过你的黑发的我的手

提到了张艾嘉，不能不提罗大佑。不想写太多，就只想介绍我满喜欢的这首歌。

穿过你的黑发的我的手

穿过你的黑发的我的手
穿过你的心情的我的眼
如此这般的深情若飘逝转眼成云烟
搞不懂为什么沧海会变成桑田
牵着我无助的双手的你的手
照亮我灰暗的双眼的你的眼
如果我们生存的冰冷的世界依然难改变
至少我还拥有你化解冰雪的容颜
我再不需要他们说的诺言
我再不相信他们编的谎言
我再不介意人们要的流言
我知道我们不懂甜言蜜语

我再不需要他们说的诺言
我再不相信他们编的谎言
我再不介意人们要的流言
我知道我们不懂甜言蜜语
留不住你的身影的我的手
留不住你的背影的我的眼
如此这般的深情若飘逝转眼成云烟
搞不懂为什么沧海会变成桑田
穿过你的黑发的我的手

爱的代价

想起张艾嘉，想起了这首歌-爱的代价

喜欢张艾嘉的版本-一个清纯女生唱出的是柔情依恋

喜欢李宗盛的版本-一个沧桑男人唱出的是百般无奈

同一首歌，写着两个故事

还记得年少时的梦吗
像朵永远不凋零的花
陪我经过那风吹雨打
看世事无常看沧桑变化
那些为爱所付出的代价
是永远都难忘的啊
所有真心的痴心的话
仍在我心中虽然已没有他
走吧走吧
人总要学着自己长大
人生难免经历苦痛挣扎
走吧走吧
为自己的心找一个家
也曾伤心流泪
也曾黯然心碎
这是爱的代价
也许我偶尔还是会想他
偶尔难免会掂记着他
就当他是个老朋友啊
也让我心疼也让我牵挂
只是我心中不再有火花
让往事都随风去吧

张艾嘉

张艾嘉。对她并不是很熟悉。知道她是『童年』的原唱者，『阿郎的故事』的女主角，电影『心动』的导演，刘若英及李心洁的幕后推手。

一个55岁的女人。她的魅力依旧。
她的经历，她的成就令人羡慕。

鲁豫有约：张艾嘉的20-30-40。

Gratitute

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow." - Melody Beattie

Found this meaningful quote from laura novak photography.

Be grateful to things that happened around us, even a tiny one that we tend to ignore- a meal that warm our stomach in this winter, greeting from friends, a sunny day...etc.

Be grateful everyday~ will try to make this little practice into habit in this year :)

2008 in Picture

Found this on msnbc. Some interesting picture will walk you back to year 2008 with some important event happened around the world.

Here is the link. Hope you enjoy!

Something good to start year 2009

I found this in photographer Ann Hamilton's blog. And I think is good to share it here.

"Spend time with your loved ones, and make that time count. Take time to breathe. Send a hand-written note to someone who hasn't heard from you in a while. Visit an old friend. Take a long-awaited trip. Tell your parents how much they mean to you. Spend an extra 30 minutes at the park with your dog instead of rushing home to get on the computer. Turn off the TV and read a book. Share a movie with someone you love. It's a new year to be good to you, and to those who care about you."

Good target or practice to start a new year.

Happy 2009! :-)

Sunset...I like the golden sun light that sprayed on top of the mountain

2008 完结篇

想要在2008年结束前留下一些文字，却发现没有办法为那365天作一个总结。

因为

有太多的遗憾

太多的无奈

太多的感慨

是因为自己的执著，固执与倔强？

还是自己的愚昧？

2008年。心中永远的缺口。

大扫除

年末了，大扫除。
想除掉的不止是堆积在房间里的垃圾，
更想除掉的是久久无法平复的情绪，还有那恼人的思绪。

************************************************

再美的花，也有凋谢的时候。

春天花再开，期待春风，把忧郁的空气一扫而空。

Snowboard trip@栂池

My second snowboard trip. A short 2 days one night trip to a ski resort called 栂池(tsugaike). This was an awesome trip. The ski resort is perfect with courses that suit the need of beginner and intermediate. And the scenery was breathtaking, surround by rows of mountain covered in white snow. I was regret that I did not have my DSLR with me, only an old digital camera for a few snapshot.

Another good news was, I did quite well in this trip. Fell a lot in the first day but soon the body begin to recall, and I was having fun sliding from top to bottom breaking through the wind. But there was price for it ~muscle pain and some bruises.

Looking forward for another snowboard trip next winter.

Rich Dad Poor Dad

This was once a best selling book a few years back, and I think most of you must have heard of it. Ya, I was late until the end of 2008 that I get myself to read up this book. Learning will never be late, the worst thing is you do not initiate to learn.

Financial literacy is a knowledge that I find myself lack of as a student. As an engineering student, what I learn all these years is the complex equations but nothing about how to face the real world after graduate. Get great grade in school, get a good job, work hard seem to be the answer. But the recession around the world prompt me to think more about it. When all the companies start downsizing and layoff their employees, what will happen when most of us depends on the paycheck every month to pay the bills. How can we get ourselves out of the mess and be financial independent? I realize that I must be prepared with certain financial knowledge, at least to know how money works and how to not to work for money.

I did not get all the answer from this book, but a broader view on what money is, the do and don't. The main point to become rich by the author is the power to control the cash flow. Maximize the income generate assets and minimize the liability expenses. But how?
The example always limited to real estate speculation. Which I think this is what the book lack of -- examples- examples other than real estate.

As mentioned in this book, investment is a method to increase the income generate assets. How to? is the knowledge that we need to acquire. Anyway there still a big question in my head, when a big investment company like Lehman Brothers can face bankruptcy, how should we invest?

There still a lot to learn and this one book alone is not enough. Read and learn more about finance is one of my target next year. If you recommend any book please let me know in the comment. Thanks a lot!

24岁了

又老了一岁了。生日到了，转眼间2008年就只剩下几天的时间。

回头看看过去，其实没有什么好值得提的成就，来日本留学的这段日子，说没有收获是假的，但是再仔细地想一想，其实自己并没有好好的利用这段时间来磨练自己，反而被这里舒适的生活给宠坏了，有好一些机会平白地从指缝间溜走了也没有发现。

看一看前方，也是一片模糊，没有一个明确的方向，看不到自己的未来。其实，最近一直被这个问题困扰。。。我是谁？我想要的是什么？什么样的工作，什么样的生活？我追求的是什么？许多的问号，还是找不到答案。。。原来我是这么地不了解我自己。

24岁。我是迷茫的。

24岁。我没有办法回头再活一次。错的对的都无法改变。能做的只有把握每一个现在，能改变的只有眼前的未来。

24岁。iTunes传来的是这首歌曲--“Happy birthday to me”

My New Photography Blog

At last....I'm happy to announce that I had launch a new blog - "Bi Hong Photography"(http://bihongphotography.blogspot.com/) for my photography work.

Actually I have been thinking a lot about how to get thing start if I seriously considering the possibility of photographer as a career, like to set up an online portfolio, or even hosting my own website. But both of them cost money, and I have too little to showoff. So, I decide to stick to blogger once again.

Anyway free services had its limit. I have to customize the layout of the blog to suit my needs, finding place to host the files etc. It took me a few days, playing with the css and html coding piece by piece to get the final result. I am very happy with it now and will add more thing to it in the future. So, here is the screen shot of my new blog:
I just find out that the layout work best for firefox, going well with safari, but it suck for IE. I hate IE, it just cannot handling css well enough. But, IE still have 70% of the browser's share market, I think I need to solve this issue fast.

Anyway, back to the new blog, I have my first post about a wedding project in Shanghai two month ago, with lot's of nice shot, feel free to visit and I hope you will enjoy it.

If you like my work, please help me promote my new blog to your friends, family or colleagues. Thanks!!

#Update: Fix the browser compatible problems, but I dropped down some hover effect on my header. Hopefully I can find ways to get it work with all the browser one day.
