浪子心声

浪子心声 许冠杰

难分真与假
人面多险诈
几许有共享荣华
檐畔水滴不分差
无知井里蛙
徒望添声价
空得意目光如麻
谁料金屋变败瓦
命里有时终须有
命里无时莫强求
雷声风雨打
何用多惊怕
心公正白璧无瑕
行善积德最乐也
人比海里沙
毋用多牵挂
君可见漫天落霞
名利息间似雾化

i don't usually post lyrics, but this song has been stuck in my head from quite awhile. This is a very very old song. I have heard it for a hundred times in my dad's car since I was a little girl. and I realized i have not understand the meaning of the lyrics (my Cantonese is quite bad ) until just yesterday when my dad translates it to me. Such meaningful and truthful lyrics. Actually lifted up my mood. Guess that i'm so engrossed with studies nowadays, I skipped outings, I don't join activities, again things seem a bit lost to me. Some how this lyrics just brighten up my mood. ^^ So rare to have inspiring songs like this today. And such contrast it is when I remembered the most recent song is 'Anaconda'....

Gossip Girls

Oh the sweet gossip that everyone loves. The excitement for interesting stories and the temporary bond among the group of gossipers. and the aftermath guilt when you talked and contributed too much. The struggle that's is only within yourself. enough is enough. Gossip is never a positive thing. The bigger the group gets, the more complicated the things get. How i wish to undo my words. Lesson learnt: Don't get carried away with gossips. And the stories you hear, just allow one ear to be open and another to be closed. No feelings attached. No judging after. oops.

Next time, just a quiet discussion with a selected few. Or best, no discussion at all.

Smart

I read a Uberfact tweet that says smart people tend to have insomnia due to higher brain activity. I suspect that this is true for me! Hah. Because, I tend to overthink so damn much! Until a point that I either can't fall asleep, or my thoughts jumble up into twisted dreams that cause me more stress in my sleep. Hence, my dark eye circles? Even though I have long sleeping hours, I often feel that I have rarely rested enough, and still feel tired and drained after my sleep. Guess that it pays to be smart =p

Haha okay I'm not so deluded. Of course there are other contributing factors. Like stressful studies right before I sleep. Or lack of exercise so that I'm often too stressed up. And also sleeping late and oversleeping that cause my biological clock to be messed up.

So. New resolution: Sleep early and wake early!!! Early as in sleeping at 11.30pm and waking at 7.30am! Eight full hours no more no less! Also, TRY getting back into exercise. This will lead to a good night sleep. AND HENCE I CAN SAY GOODBYE TO MY GREATEST ENEMY OF ALL TIME: MY EYE BAGS!!

okay. cheers to myself. goodbye.
