Meaningful
This was a very meaningful read, and I have decided to 'quote' and share it here...
A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbour. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
If you don't send this to at least 8 people....Who cares?

《爱死你》
妻子捂住丈夫的身子，轻声地在他耳边说：“这辈子爱上你，是我最大的幸福。”
丈夫一听，泪水不停地往下流。这都怪地心吸引力作祟。他的双手紧紧扣住妻子的手腕，身躯随着情绪颤抖着。“不。。不。。。你不要这样说。。。”
妻子：“你还记得30年前我们讨论过的吗？说到了这个时候，我们应该谁先去呢？”
丈夫放声哭泣。此时的他无法说出话来，只能用力点头。
妻子：“当时你很理性，呵呵，很坚决的说你会要最后一个走。你应该不希望我难过，也不希望我过着孤单的日子。老伴啊，我爱的就是你的坚决和理性。这两点你最感性不过了！没想到，今天。。。”
丈夫把手指移向妻子的嘴，阻止她继续说下去。
妻子温和地把丈夫的手挪开，继续：“不，你让我说。不然再也没有机会说了。”
丈夫面色沮丧，用手背滑过失了神的脸颊，继而把湿的拇指推向妻子的脸旁，帮她抹去满脸的泪痕。夫妻两人的泪水交杂在一起，所有的酸甜苦涩和爱意都混合为一体。
妻子微笑：“那你也该记得我说的吧？我就和你相反，说我会先走。。。当然我不是希望你孤零零的一个；不过我说过，我希望你能活得比我长寿，过的比我更好。呵，其实我也是不忍心看见你比我先走。”
沉默。。。
妻子：“不管怎样，谁先走后走，都有充分的理由和充分的爱意。我们彼此对对方的爱是那么的深。你啊，要保重身子，知道吗？你不要太难过。你只要记得我们以往的日子就会记得我的美丽和我们的甜蜜。记得了。。。”
妻子的手瘫落于丈夫的手。。。
丈夫嚎啕大哭。。。

Milestone
If there are milestones in life, it means you have achieved certain things.
If there are many milestones in life, it means you have achieved many things.
Til date, I would say that I have milestones that I am proud of. There will always be certain dates that one will remember about such achievements.
I won't be writing exactly what these are (perhaps not now), but I am writing this to remind myself and to remember the most recent. And of the dates of certain events to remind me that they had happened and for which I am who I am and where I am today.

巧
好事 x 双。
巧事是否就 x 三？
我是一个不可以造孽的人。
上个星期四的晚上，巧(1)：约在 Thompson Plaza 的 Yakun coffee ‘做某件事’；突然发现对面那桌的文件也一样。。。他们也怎么约在同一地点同一时间 ‘做同样的事’! ^^"
相同的一个晚上，巧(2)：和 PH 在 MSN 聊天；我告诉她某个哲学家，然后她说早在那晚她和同伴们正也谈到那位哲学家！^^" ^^"
刚才，是最‘恐怖’的。巧(3)：正当你在灯光暗淡的戏院，有人走到你旁边的位子然后要坐下，突然你看见人家，人家也看见你，然后瞪眼瞪得很大，然后开始用力打你！！哇！！！你的朋友！！同样的戏院也就算了，还同一时间的戏，又定位在你的旁边！！！！！ ^^" ^^" ^^"
我是一个不可以造孽的人。因为认识的人太多、巧事及多。*汗*
