sometimes you will really feel so alone in all these.
you will feel really sad that you're feeling the things you wish you didn't have to feel.
but that's okay.
being able to feel something at least, is a good thing i guess.

that i'm still alive and kicking.

i feel like kicking my legs defiantly against life the way a little kid throws a tantrum.
maybe i should sign up for muay thai classes.

into the wild // my friday movie night

"And I also know how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong but to feel strong. To measure yourself at least once. To find yourself at least once in the most ancient of human conditions. Facing the blind death stone alone, with nothing to help you but your hands and your own head.”

The scene when McCandless read out a passage from Tolstoy's "Family Happiness":

"I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books , music, love for one's neighbor - such is my idea of happiness. And then, on top of all that, you for a mate, and children, perhaps - what more can the heart of a man desire?" ...”

Some of my personal favourites:

Ron Franz: I'm going to miss you when you go. 
Christopher McCandless: I will miss you too, but you are wrong if you think that the joy of life comes principally from the joy of human relationships. God's place is all around us, it is in everything and in anything we can experience. People just need to change the way they look at things.

unworldly

I've never felt so much watching singing competitions over the screen rather than live. 

But the standards that SingChina brought was just top notch, and the contestants all so masterful.

When I thought it can't get any better, this battle between these two young girls just blew me away. 

It's so unworldly beautiful.

 I love chinese music even more than I already do. 

I'm thankful for this show because I really think Chinese music deserves more attention and respect.
(I think the competition has already ended by now but i'm still slow and didn't wanna know who won so i shall see in due time!)

And thank you 周深 and 郭沁.  Thank you for finding this unique gift that you have within yourselves and sharing it with the world. You suddenly made it clear for me that when you have a rare gift, not only will you be unstoppable by others. You will also embrace and indulge yourself in that magical moment in a way that made everything else not matter.
Forget about competitions (because your performance is beyond this competition already), forget about comparisons, forget about techniques and battleplans.
You can be victorious just by being yourself, truly, purely, innocently and simply.

When you share this gift with the world, you liberate others and inspire them too.
And i think that's one of the greatest things in life.

And this made me wonder, what is my gift in this world?
I believe that everyone has, but not everyone finds it in their lifetime.
All the time spent working in a field that does not harness and fine tune your gift seems to be time wasted.
Imagine a world when everyone can find and harness their gift, and share it with the world.
I think it would be a beautiful world.
Being alive to enjoy all these would make life all the more worth living.

“我从她的音乐里她的声音里，能听到她热爱音乐的这个初心。就是始终是这样子。” －戴辰纯子
