ride of life

Everyday I am on a ride.
To the office, at my desk, I sit behind.
Do my work, eat my lunch, I play blind,
See nothing, even the world is wide.

From morning, and here come the night,
then day runs in cycle again when the sun rises.
Wonder when I will be wise,
Jump out of the cycle, cycle of life.

Icy day

At least once in winter time, it is the "icy" day.

Everything is so beautiful when it is frozen in variety shape. It is a beauty to look and a danger to walk.

And when I have to deal with a "car" popcicle, I don't think I had that much fun :-)

I like the grass flowers in ice. It looks like rice grain when it ripes and turn gold but this special grain is crystal clear.

This ice-rice grain reminds me of what I have read when I was young 'Everything is evened up in this world. The rich have their ice in the summer but the poor get theirs in the winter.' *

Alone

It seems that we are always surrounded by people, some love us, some hate us.
But at a closer look, we are all alone.

Every decision in one's life, it is one's choice.
It's only the matter of one makes that decision or one lets another one make it.

Journey & Destination

It was snowing when I left my house this morning.

There are many ways of snow falling. I love when snow flake is floating in the air, gradually falls down to the ground. For some reason, it eases my mind and life seems to be slower.

Today is Monday, Chinese New year day and the day that I got my first review after six months at my new job. I would say I get a pretty good one.

I wonder where I am from my destination. When snow is falling, its journey is through the air and its destination might be on the ground. Well, some of the snowflake might end up on leaves, benches, or .. who knows...

But if you think twice, it is not really the end. Because when the sun comes out, snowflake will melt, then transform back to be cloud in the sky.

Learn new thing, work hard, live my life, go on with it.
I wonder what is awaiting us in the end.

Where there is a will, there is a way

This week I got 2 assignments and finally I figured it out.

Assume that I am under a big tree and I can only see leaves above me. After I pick leaves one by one until no more leaves left on a tree, then I am able to see clear sky above.

After reading books, looking through the codes line by line, finally I got the answer.

Old saying, where,there is a will, there is a way.

Sunflower

Do you have things that recall your memory everytime you see it?

I do, a sunflower is one of them.

For me, a sunflower is a symbol for "best friend".

With my best friend, we used to sing "Sunflower" song together.

We went to the sunflower field together and had a very good time.

We did a lot of things together and those become our memory.

Even though now we live in the opposite part of the world, we are still "best friend".

I miss you so much and Happy Birthday my dear friend.

Peace of mind

Just ask question to myself out loud, what and where is 'peace of mind'?

I just notice that my mind hardly stays still. It is wondering from one place to another, from one thing to another, never ending.

To know the answer is nothing, to be the answer is matter.
