"無法坦誠相對"

As the mp3 goes through the play list randomly, this song again came back to me.
Funny that each song seems to bring back different memories at different period of time.
Particularly, this one reminded me of last summer, watching a Japanese Drama called : 

"無法坦誠相對"

It's a rather sad sorry to me even though it doesnt involve any "cancer/memory lost/dying etc"
But it's the fear and self-pride that people cannot let go of in the modern world, hence always missing out or sacrificing the beloved ones.
Last summer, I remember everytime I go to the gym, this song would always push me working very hard until I feel that I could almost faint, feeling the strong heart beats every seconds.

Today hearing this song, even though it's in Japanese, but it recalled certain scenes from the drama, and also...recalled a few scenes in the past of my life.
Suddenly couldnt help
What was I doing last summer, who I was thinking of?
How have I changed throughout this year?
When the feeling is hidden inside somewhere, I didnt feel I did anything wrong.
But seeing the other one not able to understand yourself, perhaps is a painful thing.

I pray to God, I give thanks to Him

Interesting to see the chinese translation of the lyrics, the best bit about the song, is not having to understand japanese, but experiencing the soul of it.

若只是触碰 就能保护你 那我现在就想把你拉到身边 拥入怀里 想要一直爱著你 把心意告诉你 却无法对你坦白 “...I miss you” 在空无一人的回家路上 两人走在一片宁静里 心中彷佛快要蹦出的悸动 你是否听见? “你紧闭的双唇里 是否有著深沉的爱?” 但当你出现在眼前 我却什麼都问不出来 总是内心你占据 被你的温柔包围 却无法对你坦白“...I miss you” 在别人面前决不哭泣 决定这样活下去 可在你面前 却会胸口炙热 眼泪彷佛就要掉下来 “在你温暖的臂膀中 对我说的话是不是有什麼意义?” 在抱著的你的背上 我轻轻低语 想要一直在你身边 不想让你一个人孤孤单单 想要感受全部的温暖 I belive you 这不是发生奇迹 这是命运的牵引 被拉近的两人 从此不会再分离 想要一直看到你的笑颜 一直被你的温柔包围 却无法对你坦白 想要一直爱著你 把心意告诉你 却无法对你坦白 “...I miss you”

More of HIm, Less of Me

The more I think about the past, I see mistakes
The more I think about the future, I see challenges
The more I think about the presence, I see concerns
The more I think about myself, I see selfishness and shame

However,

The more I think about God, I see Love
When it is about the future, I see Hope
When It is about the past, I see blessings
When It is about the presence, I see faith

Being able to see clearly who you are, a true blessing in my life

Searching for memories

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uX0Dvtvev1E


Watching this link the other day made me think alot.


La Maison en Petits Cubes


The Mansion in little cubes


Do people search for memories in their city?
Perhaps, going into a completely new place, then the experience is probably strange


But I guess, at some point in life
We end up being in the old places, and we would be unconsciously retrieving memories


Today, my colleague told me about an interesting story about an invisible city, whoever entering the city would lose all their memories, and they need to find their missing fragments in different parts of the city as they explore the place.


Which is actually, quite inspiring.


Sometimes, I wish going to some new places to leave some new footprints, but because having walked so many times in circles, I could no longer make any mark there


Sometimes, going back to old places, I wish to retrieve some memories for so long ago, and probably not the recent ones


Sometimes I feel lost I dont know where I am coming from and where I am going to


So I walk there and then, not sure what to do
I guess the prints dont get fade away, they just got muddled up


When you see a place with so many footprints, the paths get so diverted


If memories are like photoshop, i wish i could delete some layers and make it perfect


But God said it's not about making it perfect, but take part in the journey in his presence


That's probably what I have missed out
