Hey Jupiter

I recently re-discovered Tori Amos. I thought this part of the lyrics from Hey Jupiter held a certain resonance.


Thought we both could use a friend
To run to
And I thought I wouldn't have to keep
With you
Hiding

And I thought you'd see with me
You wouldn't have to be something new

彳亍着

Went to play pool today. Settlers was too full to seat us.

I also want to thank Iv Ge for getting me a book from Cambodia. It was totally unexpected and I really appreciate the thought. The cover featured Angkor Wat in backlight, far away in the horizon.

One need never say goodbye to Angkor, for its magic will go with you wherever fate and the gods may take you to colour your thoughts and dreams to life's very end.

~ H W Ponder

The holidays has allowed me to drift away from the realities of life, to indulge in dreams. Day-dreaming, one of the most futile activity and yet one of the few luxuries I intermittenly allow myself to savour and indulge in.
Sometimes I dream that I was back in South Africa, France or Cambodia.

我很喜欢这一首歌。。。

巫啟賢 - 《邂逅》

入暮的山途獨有我彳亍,落紅鏗然顯凄清
低吟起那幽陰的歌,歌聲抖出了蕭索
歌韻隱隱飄蕩入我波心,牽引我山游覓覓尋
邂逅你炯瑩的星眸,顫動我翩翩入夢
恒古雋永美麗的神話,莫非已降臨此剎那
默望長空我深深祈禱,愿剎那化永恒典雅

彳亍: 不读为行【拼音chì chù】
形容小步慢走或时走时停。
在戴望舒的《雨巷》中写到:“像我一样,像我一样,默默的彳亍着……”。
好久的歌, 恰似能嗅出尘来
简单的曲,美丽的词
童年的时光历历在目
终是想回到那小时候
因为终是觉得往前是如此的彳亍着

我很喜欢这一个词。。。“彳亍”

行于彳亍。。。
一个不小心就容易弄错
行于彳亍却表达截然不同的意义

从彳亍到行
是一个跃不过的空间吗?
人生得于彳亍或于行是否是一个定数

先人好有幽默
彳亍间的距离微妙却又如此的永恒
消除了那渺小的空间会不会只是个错别字?

彳亍。。只因为默望長空深深祈禱着,愿剎那化永恒典雅
我想我的人生以彳亍而非行作为属性
那。。又是谁决定把它编进我人生的蓝图里?

Wherein I dreamt of Jac getting married.

It was a pleasant surprise to get Jac's call yesterday. The reason being that I dreamt about her the night before.

I dreamt that I was at her wedding and I saw her sideview from far. Someone, probably her hairdresser was attaching her veil for her while she faced the mirror. I spoke to her mother, commenting on how sudden it was. The mother agreed that it was very sudden, telling me that she just came back from Auzzie and told them that she was getting married.

I remembered wearing a blue dress. I saw the groom from far too. In fact all I saw was his back.

When she called me, I thought how coincidental it was and I was all excited to tell her about my dream. Jac started to question me about the groom...

"Er... I think he was average, with an Armani sort of haircut..short hair..I think he seems to be in either banking or finance."

"You don't know my groom?!!!"

"Ya...EH..I only saw him from afar... WAIT... how come you got married so suddenly and I don't know anything about it?!!!"

"And you are not the bridesmaid?!!"

"Ya..EH... How come I am at your wedding and I AM NOT EVEN THE BRIDESMAID?!!!"

Then I started to get miffed.

"You didn't even have time to talk to me.. you were ignoring me at YOUR wedding.."

It was quite ridiculous, given that I talked to her mother, I remembered that the wedding took place in a morning and she was dressed in a room with French floor-to-ceiling windows. But I didn't know anything about it, I didn't talk to her, I didn't know the groom AT ALL. I mean.. I didn't even know she was getting married till I was summon to make an appearance at her wedding.

And then I was sent to go make sure I see the groom, if I dream about her again. And if I should so happen to dream about her next stage in life, I have to make sure I see her kids clearly too.

(-_-")

All these work....ignored at her wedding and I am not even the bridesmaid.....
