Remembrance Day

11th of November is the Remembrance Day of UK, i think it's also commemorated elsewhere in the world, except south east asia i would have guessed? Remembrance day is a day to remember the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war...according to wiki.

I was told it was to celebrate the end of the First World War and everybody will wear a poppy. An old man in York told me that people wear a poppy because poppies were found blooming across the battlefields in World War I.

Here in England, you can see almost everyone wearing it in November. Not just people, even cars wear them, reminds me of how some we used to stick the flag on our windshield during Merdeka day. You can buy the paper poppy everywhere, and it's up to you how much you would like to pay for it. Poppy money will all be donated to the families of the veterans.

I paid for my poppy this year and i'm wearing it for the sake of the veterans :)

often at times, we think we know what we want and positive about our determination in achieving it. but often in life, what we want only exist in those times when we think we know what it is.

and almost certainly determination is a big fat liar that prefers to face us with its back than face.

don't get me wrong i'd love to dwel it with my back too, a fair fight. only later i realised that it's actually much easier and smarter to kick its ass when it's not facing me than to call silence and judge who's got bigger ass. fair is one friend that i think i might need to let go.

Have i worked too little? have i not trying hard enough to be smarter, in life?

i used to think and still insist that there is a fine line between good person and fake person. you don't want to cross that line and went from pass to fail. okay maybe not you, but i am most certain that i don't want to.

my P3 lecturer said ''strategic choice is between your ears, you need to think a little.''

i add, so is deciding what kind of person you are. you don't want to fail so make an effort to learn it properly before you are jumping into conclusion too quickly.

味道

想喝四神湯 ;(

如果我有一個罐子是可以收集味道的

我要把現在的味道收好

冷冷的空氣，暖暖的外套，

熱呼呼的一碗粥和一片炸過的漢堡雞塊

很像在臺灣的冬天

如果你也明白味道可以帶來回憶

你會知道我現在有多想念那個冬天

在倫敦有家的味道

是一種幸福

特別是在快考試的時候

天啊

又一個禮拜過去了

我除了在每個上課的早上在掙扎著起床和那三天的壓力以外

好像都沒有再好好努力

十一月已經過去一個禮拜了

風都已經在拼命刮了

連空氣都在用力表現秋天

而我呢

在頹廢

親愛的十一月，歡迎你啊

來了英國三次，三次都經過遍地都是紅落葉的秋天。

我想以后回去了，最想念的也許是那片被紅葉鋪滿的草地吧。

來了倫敦以后才發現，原來不是每個80年代的年輕人都是夜貓啊

我家三個人，只有我一個是大夜貓。狂大的那種。會變本加厲的那種。

我不只是不喜歡睡覺，還要深夜了才能專心做自己的事。

以前只要超過凌晨三點我的肝就會不舒服，可是我已經很久沒有這樣的感覺了

連我的肝也不理我了。

這下半年都不知道怎么的，一眨眼就晃過去了

我的一眨眼為什么都這么快？為什么所有的事情都喜歡在一眨眼之間發生？

下個月就要考試了。

只是突然想到，以后加入上班族，變成上班族

我還可以隨心所欲的做個大夜貓嗎？

總覺得這個十一月跟上一個十一月之間的距離比一眨眼還要快啊

就這樣秋天了

今天一早在聽力宏的春雨里洗過的太陽

突然，突然之間的

從去年到今年來英國之前跟你們一起聚的那段時間

讓我很想念

都好嗎？

年頭說的要常常聯絡好像都沒有做到

有沒有一樣在想我呢？

''分開之後另一年的春天 記憶也像下雪一樣溶解

那些有你在身邊的影片 呼的一聲飛得老遠老遠

我在淋過一場大雨之後的晴朗 那是春雨裡洗過的太陽''

我在這里依舊，掙扎著在努力

掙扎著在堅持

Leave me alone

therein lies an answer.
