[轉帖]Khalil Gibran的作品﹕什么是愛

Khalil Gibran非常生動地描述了愛情:愛情可以給您帶上皇冠,也可以送您去斷頭台。愛情會滋潤你成長,也會斷送您而使您滅亡。愛情會攀登您生命之樹的最高一枝,而情吻您受陽光之普育而心奮的枝葉。愛情也同樣會占据生命中最深之處,斷除您生命之根基,使您离開本土。

您就是滿地的散麥,愛情會將您捆綁。

愛情不停地敲打您,使您脫离麥草而赤裸。

愛情將您拋向天空,不斷楊場而篩選。

然后帶您到磨房,放在兩石之間磨成面。

愛情把您和成面,放入神圣的烈火。

把您烤熟放在餐桌上,變成神圣的食品。

愛情就是這樣一個過程。她會讓您認識自己,衹有在這一過程中,您將會成為生命和心靈的一部分。也就是說,舉世聞名的愛情之歌功頌德者,就是這樣描述了神祕的愛情。的确,對愛情做出明确的解釋很難。深刻的理解愛情的含義更難。在每一個人頭腦中,對愛有著不同的理解和不同的定義。大部分人,會突然的愛上一個陌生人。如果詢問這些戀愛者,您愛上了對方的何處?他們也許會做不出,很具体地回答。但這一問題,對戀愛者的雙方來說非常清楚,雙方彼此都會非常敬重對方。這是誰也不能夠否定的,絕對的事實。

無論愛情何等的奧秒和神祕,她衹是,您心目中和感覺上的一個過程。她總會体現于您的軀体。在您的生活中重复。Gibran描繪的實際上也衹是,愛的一种具体形式。愛的其他形式在人類的生命中祕密地存在著。

愛情是一种自我的表現,愛情是一种自我的滿足。愛情是一种需要,或者是需要的滿足。愛情是一种傾向于祕密的轉換和公開的過渡。不管怎么說,如果您愛上具体的一個人,您會感覺到,在您的軀体上會產生著,意想不到的,許多變化。您也會意識到,自己身上的變化是前所未有的。如果這种現象,在您的生活中產生,也就是說,您在戀愛。那些現象的本身就是愛。無論這种异常的現象,是長期的,或者是短期的,無論是痛苦的,或者是歡樂的﹔她都會成為,您生命中的一种財富。將永遠的銘刻在您的心中。

總而言之,您作為一個,有著生命和靈魂的人類,在一生中,不談戀愛是絕對不可能的。愛情就象陽光,無論您怎樣關閉您的心靈,她都會找机會照射進來。愛情將披荊斬棘,所向披靡的。所以,我將給您的忠告是:不要為了對愛下定義而枉費心机。您的心以及您的生活,將會告訴您,對愛情最為合适的定義。

What am I?










You have a total boy brain
Logical and detailed, you
tend to look at the facts
And while your emotions do sway you
sometimes...
You never like to get feelings too
involved

Gone

Finally..... it's been six months since we have arrived UK.
When me and Yvonne went to London this Saturday, I didn't really feel that she is going to leave this place. I knew she needs to go. Today, when I finally had to send her off to the airport, saw her checking in at the counter, walked her to the departure gate....I suddenly felt that... this is 'IT'---- I finally had to say goodbye to her.
I knew I will see her again when I go back to HK in December, I knew it is just a short time away from each other...I knew I shouldn't feel sad about all this... but I am!
We have been through so many things together. Like....arriving in the UK, getting ourselves to the hotel in Beccles, , getting a flat in Norwich, buying a car, getting to London, shopping for groceries, having a cup of coffee on our lazy sundays, travelling around UK, going to Santorini together... We did all these things together!!!!
And when I had to take the airport express back to London city, take the underground, then take the train back to Norwich... I felt that there's something missing... I am missing Yvonne by my side.
Although Yvonne is gone... for a short while... I will still have to live the best of my life... and be strong for Yvonne. I promise.

I am in love with Santorini







Spent a week in one of the Greek Islands - Santorini Island. And I am just so in love with the place... and I didn't want to come back!!...

I have uploaded some pictures on my photo section.... feel free to check it out!!

Trip to Santorini, Greece


I am getting more excited these days as it is just about 7 days until me and my partner head off to Greece.
The place we are going is called Santorini (仙度雲尼島) in Greece, and staying at a small town called Perissa, which is in the South East of the Santorini Island. I am looking forward to watch the sunset in Oia (pronounce as Ee-ar 伊亞 ), because the sunset is 'the best' in the world. Looking from the steep hill in Oia over to the volcano, with the deep blue colour of the Aegean Sea. I think it will be superb!!

"How do you solve a problem like Maria?"

Just a while ago, I was just watching an english TV show called 'How do you solve a problem like Maria?'
The show was about auditing a group of young girls and judge who can be the Maria Von Trapp in the Sound of Music- starring in the London West-End theatre.
It just happened to be the semi-final of the show, the judges were just commenting on one of the 'Maria' Siohban "Beautiful Maria" and Andrew Lloyd Webber commented Siohban as "delicious".....
THEN..... my lovely partner, Yvonne, asked if I find her 'delicious'?.........



to be honest, I find her more 'mouth- watering' than delicious!!!



(FINALLY... the show ended with Connie being "the Maria".... Congrad.!!

情信

沈日...寶貝問:
"無理由架. 郵差叔叔今日咁懶惰, 派得一次信...今日星期五播, 又唔係weekend, 應該仲有信收架?"

我話: "物寶貝而家咁貪心架!!!"

跟住我就話: "寶貝:我愛妳! 寶貝豬上"
當必要時, 我會靜靜地離開, 在你生命中消失。
是因為太愛你, 所以要放手。

I am back... from Sydney

Whoa... I couldn't believe that I am back from Sydney, back from my dream and back to reality. I had the most wonderful days there with my angel.
We went to Paddy's market, Taronga Zoo, The Sydney Botanical Garden, The Blue Mountains, Sydney Opera House, The Rock, Darling Harbour... and I felt like we didn't have enough time to spend with each other, although we stayed there for 5 days. {Sigh} No wonder some people says, when you have a good time, you feel like time flies.
God.... I think I am still dreaming and I wish I will never wake up from this dream.

Counting down

umm.... I have 3 and a half days until I fly over to Sydney. And from Monday-Thursday morning, I better finish off my work before I have my holiday (which means.... I will be working 13 hours per day)..... muahahahaha...... how nice

I am so broke

After 2 days of continous shopping (during the weekend), I have to declare myself to me broke!!
Ok.... what did I buy these 2 days? err.... sleeping bag, sleeping bag liner and a mobile phone.
.... I better work very very hard this coming week.

Shopping spree

Muahahahah..... I went shopping with my friends this afternoon. Yeah.... Kathmandu is still having a sale, and all of us bought a down feather sleeping bag, my friend bought a big luggage bag and another friend bought a really nice backpack!!!!
Why are we shopping for these kind of stuffs? Coz' we are going to UK together. And we are planning for the back-packing style!! That's why!!
God.... I am getting so excited about the big OE for next year. I am so looking forward to it.

Offer......

My manager just offered me a deal to stay on-board. It sounds like a pretty good deal, pay rise, pay for my post-graduate studies, return airfares to UK for 6 weeks registration.
The package sounds good.
Shall I take it? Or shall I not?

過客

在我們的生命旅程中﹐最常會遇到的是我們的生命過客。有些...會出現得很長久﹐ 一直陪伴著我們成長﹐一直陪伴我們走﹐直到走到最後。有些...出現得很短暫﹐消失得很快...但他們所留下的足印﹐卻令我們一生難忘。

心理TEST

http://www.whobirdyou.com/test.asp


個性
你有很好的平衡感,偏重邏輯式的思考方式。在想要某東西之前,都會冷靜的判斷自己的經濟能力。你不會勉強的貸一筆鉅款去買房子。你是一個在心智上完全臻於成熟的人。每天精神奕奕、充滿自信,同時又很受到朋 友們的信賴。但是相對地,你對日常生活乃至人生的態度稍嫌嚴肅了一點。或許是因為 你給別人的印象就是如此,而你也刻意地去表現出這一面。不過,如果你能更加任性點 ,偶而輕鬆一下,不要固執地想要一直去扮演完人的角色。說不定反而能提高你的聲望也說不定。 你是那種即使明知道吵架是自己的不對,但還是 有意無意會把責任推給對方,彆扭地不想認錯,你是那種稍微低頭也不是很願意的類型。你是個很浪漫的人,生活態度也像夢般的虛幻。對錢很不在意,只有在感覺錢是很重要的時候,才會加以儲蓄。對金錢的運用漫不經心,常會丟掉錢包,借給別人的錢也常常會忘記。由於你浪漫的個性,所以不要等到要救急時才存錢,更要有計畫的管理錢財,這樣對你才會有幫助。你是一個有自信的人,雖然你不是做到態度上的咄咄逼人,可是只要你堅持一個想法,無論別人如何去唆使、蠱惑你,你都不為所動,不過這不代表你是剛愎自用的,相反的,你很喜歡聽到別人對你的建言,是一個很不錯的人喲!你肯定是那種大哥大或大姊大級的人物,見到別人侵犯你的權益,或是惹了你身邊的小嘍囉,那你絕對會馬上挺身而出,傾全力討回公道。不過你也是會英雄惜英雄,假使只是場小誤會,等到風波過去,你會將對方當做是知交一般看待,是個很有風度的敵人。你是心地非常善良的人,但與人相處時為了不想暴露自己的缺點而設了一道防線,所以有時會被人誤會為不容易親近之人,雖然朋友不多,但能擁有深厚友誼。再者有優秀的數字能力,能在理工上一展長才。你非常重視人際關係 喜歡照顧別人.對於他人的一舉一動非常注意.你很具有社交性格朋友也很多 而且個性很開放,在戀愛方面也是相當浪漫,容易與對方一見鍾情,很會營造氣氛,讓戀情可以進行的很順利。還有,你脾氣變化無常,有興趣時,能認真踏實做下去,一旦失去興趣,就會對所做的事感到莫明其妙,予以放棄。

愛情
你在感情上是充滿安全感的人,在朋友中深的人緣,從不與人有正面衝突,總是盡可能包容別人,你相信人與人能和平共處,極少無意義的打擾別人,朋友也不會過度打擾你,生活過的悠然自得。暗戀是你最拿手的戀愛方式!永遠只在遠遠的地方看著心儀的人,幻想著有一天他會主動來約你.愛他就要勇敢說出來!加油唷。你一但真的愛上對方就會變的有點痴呆,可以說是對戀愛的掌控度非常不拿手,雖然你平常能夠很厲害的抓住異性的心,可是,一但在心儀的對象面前,就會變的有點笨手笨腳;而且會因為太緊張,而無法表達自己,不過這也許就是你可愛的地方也說不一定。在一旁等到沒人時才上前去欣賞那幅畫,正是屬於等候型的人。這種人只會傻傻的等待机會上門,不會自己去尋找,因此常有眼睜睜看著心上人被人搶走的經驗,真可憐!你喜歡的人很多嘴,有時你覺得囉嗦,離開又覺得寂寞,因此你很快的將愛表露出來。男性會喜歡修長,大眼而眼神如男性般有神采的女人。你的個性還蠻活潑的,對於感情,也比較傾向直來直往的方式,所以,你的感情常在哥兒們環境醞釀,和情人一起,就有如和朋友一樣輕鬆自然,是對打打鬧鬧的歡喜冤家。你外表看起來像是溫馴的小綿羊,不會做出傷人的事,但相處一久,就可以發現,在你純潔的羊皮之下,是一顆熾熱的心。因為你這樣愛到深處無怨尤的性格,才會那麼在乎對方,時刻都想黏在一起,是屬於隱性透明的強力膠。你會因愛人的言行舉止,而產生許多迷惑,你不能肯定他是否真心愛你,也不知道愛情會延續多久,所以你時常為了這個問題而煩惱不安,其實你不必這麼懷疑對方,應該以信心和誠意來對待他,才能共創永恆的愛情。基本上你算是很專情的,只是你好像不太願意去承認這些事,只把這種愛慕放在心裡,面對性時,你只是像個孩子一樣,雖然笨拙,但也純真得可愛!你給異性的感覺是個喜歡交朋友的人,所以跟你較相近的對象也應該是個悠然自得、懂得享受愛情的人。你們兩人很可能成為令人近羨的鴛鴦夫妻。在交往的時候你會有結婚的念頭,尤其是選婆婆的意味更濃。因此,以結婚為前提之下,會努力地去尋覓另一半。你的醋勁不算太大,但是偶爾會疾火中燒,不過不是很強烈,不過忍耐太久 就會有爆發的可能。

事業
看來這裡面最聰明的就是你了,你是一個有城府的人,做什麼事,都會經過詳細的計算和籌畫,可是最不按牌理出牌的人也是你,可能在笑臉的背後,隱藏著什麼重大的陰謀噢!可是你把全部的聰明全放在人際的周旋,相對的,卻對業務上的助力短缺,小心聰明反被聰明誤!你IQ很高,才能不錯,EQ則略欠,又對八卦消息十分熱衷,只是害怕被權力中心遺忘,雖然不是野心份子,卻是八卦女王或王子,容易被野心份子利用,成為辦公室鬥爭放話的傳聲筒。
人際關係你天生愛自由,富冒險精神,極具勇氣。在有學識和才幹的條件下,往往甘願冒犯險境,難度愈高愈想挑戰。此外,喜歡獨立行事,能寓 工作於娛樂,卻不能長時間安於一份工作。由於頭腦靈活多變,創作力強,是從事廣告或設計的理想人選。你很懂得生活享受,無論是苦是甜都能出箇中滋味。你狂狷的性格總為自己帶來一點麻煩,惹得別人對你的死硬脾氣有點感冒。人家覺得不是很重要的小節,在你眼中,可是了不得的大事,要是觸犯了你的禁忌,十年不相往來是很有可能發生的事。雖說如此,你對於合得來的知交,卻是好得不得了,願意以寶劍相贈知己,出手闊綽,令人咋舌。你在交朋友是一個大好人,但是與朋友在一起的時候會有一面倒的趨勢,小心不要讓別人覺得你在搞小團體。

不經不覺

原來...已經來了New Zealand 9 年了。時間過得很快。

記得當年要離開香港那種不捨的心情...感覺仍新
但...當聽到別人講關於香港現在的事情, 自己就覺得對香港越來越陌生。

由當時一個黄毛小子, 到升大學, 到大學畢業, 出來社會做事...直到現在

唉...真的.... 時間不經不覺從我們身邊溜走...

真的歲月催人.

Heading to.....

Ok... I am definately going to UK next year. However, I still need to finish off my CV, get every documentations certified and send all my details to my agent!

The worst thing is.... I STILL haven't finished my CV (I am so terrible)!!

My deadline for the application is sometime in October, (coz' I am planning to start working there in March or April). And it will take us approx. 4 months to get our working-holiday visas ready, and of course, we have to get all those annoying certification letters from the Pharmacy Council.

From the rate that I am going, which is very very slow, I really don't think I can get everything done in October. Why? That is because I just don't have time....err... I guess I should say... 'I haven't managed my time properly'.

Alright, I better get things going before it is too late!!

So gals and guys, next time when you see me online... make sure I have finished my application!!

[lyrics sharing] Speed of sound--Coldplay


how long before I get in

before it starts, before I begin

how long before you decide
before I know what it feels like
where to?
Where do I go?

if you've never tried then you'll never know
how long do I have to climb
up on the side of this mountain of mine

look up, I look up at night
planets are moving at the speed of light
climb up, up in the trees
every chance that you get
is a chance you seize

how long am I gonna can stand
with my head stuck under the sand
I start before I can stop before
I see thing the right way up

all that noise, all that sound
all those places that i have found
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand

ideas that you'll never find
or the inventors could never design
the buildings that you put up
Japan and China... all lit up
the sign that I couldn't read
or the light that I couldn't see
some things you have to believe
but others are puzzles, puzzling me

all that noise, all that sound
all those places that i have found
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand

all those signs I knew what they meant
something you can't invent
Some get made, and some get sent
ooh

words go flying at the speed of sound
to show how it all began
birds came flying from the underground
if you could see it then you'd understand
oh, when you see it then you'll understand
