Life Trifflings

Strange, there are always some things that will change one's view toward others.

1. With an extra-ordinary position, I assume that he might be somebody, or, the child of somebody. Just like the others. Although from the way he acts, the way he's doing things and the way he treat others, I guess he might not, in a practical view, as rich as the others, but it never comes to me that he's all by himself. It comes to my mind that he might, just like me, live with parents. But obviously I'm wrong, and totally wrong.

That makes me feel guilty. To be ashame by the indifferent way I hold toward him, and others.

Should change. Why, because less of self-confidence? Might be, so I just hold myself and becomes safe behind my mask, a frozen face? Why? Why I am doing things like this?

Reading Notes -- The Secret Power of Beauty

"... the most pleasing things are those that simultaneously reward our desire for variety and respect our need for uniformity - perfectly balancing stimulation and repose, excitement and security. The experience of beauty is the mid-point between boredom and exhaustion." ~p. 6

A Dream about Baby&Mommy House

Still can't get rid of it, the sweet, costy dream of mine.

How should I get started? Quick survey on everything? The renovation material, the man cost and all the purchasing items? Don't know, but still, got that dream...

Might check with hubby about that. Find some good time to. ha, for he's now totally against the idea. Ha, no wonder, me, always doing things like this, crazy idea first, and doing nothing at the end : (

吳哥

前二天的電子報 ,吳哥建築之美【摘自歷史月刊206期,文/夏麗蓮】
http://mag.udn.com/mag/newsstand/storypage.jsp?f_MAIN_ID=97&f_SUB_ID=240&f_ART_ID=9566
憶起了去年的吳哥行.

還真健忘的,依悉還記得當時的悸動,但要能深刻的描繪,可還真是非己力之所能也!

周達觀在《真臘風土記》一書的敍述,總在自己親訪當地時不斷地浮現.是什麼樣的力量,會讓這麼樣的一個神奇,平白無故的消失?諷刺地,或是幸賴侵略者的貪婪,這一切的美麗才能再現!能想像是怎麼樣的一種繁華,怎麼樣的一種富強,才能造就這樣的滄桑?!過去的美酒笙歌
,過去的豪情叱吒,又該往那一處精雕細琢的群像裡尋?

而曾如此君臨天下的他,看到現在他的子民,又會有什麼樣的感嘆?那曾笑傲鄰邦,稱霸一方的狂傲,或君其子民的慈心,是否也會為此落淚?

還記得那一幕幕,沙里洞湖旁的小孩.早在出門之前,公司的行前說明就已經告訴我們如果可以,帶些給小孩子用的用品,衣服.

然這樣的"善心"卻導演了跟著車奔跑的小孩...以及所謂已開發國家的悲憐!

服裝?功能性?禮教?

可,這是否又是我這旁觀者自以為是的輕憐?過多所謂的文明,帶來的又是何種程度的"進步"?然隨著時間的流拉長,目今這所謂的文明,是否就能永恆,或者,只不過是另一次吳哥般的繁華舊夢?

我不知道的,而且,該是永遠也沒個答案的吧 :)

Let it be the way it is, Ankor!

Opening

Took me half day to make all this working.

Tried to find something about KAFKA, the Prague writer.

And find Waki.

Then for the very first time read carefully about the PLOG.

So, that's why it is born. Thanks WAKI, and thanks KAFKA.

Sure, with the plenty time I have in office, I will try my best to find some VALUABLE things to fill-in this retreat, My Secret Garden, indeed.

Happy Me!

Some thoughts

總是這樣的想法
一份食之無味,棄之可惜的工作
A so call JOB, instead of CAREER
Some kind of work you just use your own precious time to exchange MONEY
But maybe, maybe with the resources at hand, might be able to do some works,
some works I might find interests in it
Hope so...
