欣喜参半的日子


眨眼， 一生便火石般飞过去了。
要喊停，也无从喊起。跌跌撞撞的从各种悲喜中走来，回首，一切皆为烟云。
什么情义，什么生死； 还不是只存冷夜里，一怀挥之不去的幽情。
抱着路总是要走的心态，来到今日，前路只剩几许；就算风雨在大，自己也不过一笑置之。
回望四周的人，争功夺位， 到头来，狰狞獠牙，丑态百出。朋友没了，日子也开始难过了。 那又何必呢？

人 生于世，区区数十年；真的只为讨两口饭吃吗？只为汽车洋房而活吗？看看一般洋人，一有空便四处外游。增添人生情趣。七老八十的还四处结伴而行。看了，真羡煞人也。我们呢，到这个年龄时，早已精疲力尽，瘫在床上，无法行动自由。 悲也！今日的我，每夜都细算着每日的所作所为；以防自己继续践踏自己的生命。时日，到底是无多呵！

几度夕阳红

近日，夕照异常艳丽。霞色缤纷。
一时兴起，抓了相机就拍下拾几张照片。
定下心静观， 不觉心头一股哀伤幽然而起。
夕阳无限好， 只是近黄昏！不正是自己的写照吗？
多长的路， 都走到将尽了。
日子像枯叶似的片片凋零，无声无息。
眼前什么都有了，只是时间，时间却像沙漏， 点点滴滴的流失。
要做的事可多着哪！去摄影，去画画，去写作，去习禅，去。。。。有时，听友人说：十年后，我们什么什么的。自己心里却嘀咕着：我有这十年麽？？
正是这种心态，每每策划到一半时， 心里就迟疑下来，无法完事。
或许，或许抱着“过一日算一日“的态度， 会好受一点吧。
至少，可以每日挥活的更加精彩！失落感便肯定少一点。
速沉的夕阳，并不可怕。日落后，黑夜必定来临。只惋惜不能久留灿烂的霞色少许。

无题

雪白的心情
是一种明月清溪的观照
流云与投影
终究是一场虚虚实实的交替
花魂绮丽的梦
遂成
岁月里几许丝丝的蜜意

The Cruise

Personally, I do not like to let myself to be floating on the water. The main reason is I do not know how to swim, and have phobia with water.

This cruise trip happened really in a very strange way. One day in January, while window shopping at Woodlands Shopping Centre, two of us strolled pass a tour agency and saw the Star Cruise poster, we walked in to enquire some information of the cruise. As we walked out of that place, we already booked the trip! Until today, I still do not understand how it happened. Maybe, faithed to be on the vessel this period of time in my life!

Anyway, the trip came out quite enjoyable and present. The Star Virgo left the port in the evening, Friday. As the vessel sailed out, the sun starting to set.


The sky turned into a melting pot, inside it were lots of colour and rays.
It was my dream time, as I always wish to watch the sunset in the open sea when I was a child.

I stay at the top deck of the vessel and watch the sun set, as if I was watching a remarkable TV series. Every sec, every minute the appearance of the sky changes. There were reds, purples, blues, etc colours whirling above me. It's like a silent musician playing a beautiful tune in front of me. I was not the only person admiring the scene, there were others on the deck too.

As for the cabin, it is real small and cute. It equip with a painted fake window, as we were staying in a non-windowed cabin. Everything in the cabin is minute. With my orang-utan body moving around it, you would always hear me bum into something in the room most of the time.


The corridor on the open deck is breezy and nice. It is a nice spot for having an afternoon beer with a nice book in the hands for reading. The gigantic deep blue sea is wide open in front of you. Pressure is not present here, you could have all your time by yourself. If bored, go sing karaoke. There is a library on the vessel too. But, to me, the library is short of collections. There are spa, gym and loudges at 7 and 12 floor.

We watched three different shows within two days. The first was "The Kindom of Ku Fu", a dance and martial art mixed show by Chinese Martial Art Artists and other Chinese artists. Then, on the second day, we watched Singapore's own idols, Superstars Performance. Kelly, Jun Yang, Sin Hui and Wei Lian were performing in the show. After that, we show the topless dance show.

We went to the Casino after the show. And contributed another 100 dollars there!
The vessel was back to Singapore on Sunday. There ends my first experience being floating on the water for three solid days.

劫

佛家常说，人生多劫。年少时，不以为意。现年过半百，方知言之有物！劫，是一个观念，一个设想。但是，如果我们用它来衡量我们的一些人生际遇，倒也蛮有意思的。

劫， 在我来说，有好几种。多数人认为：人有情劫。不错，的确有‘情劫‘这码子事。但情劫不等于两性之劫！情也，涉及友情，亲情，爱情等。只要你以涉及，多少你一定会被波及。乐者， 自乐。败者，轻则唉声叹气；重者，意识消沉，甚至了以轻生！

此劫如此恐怖， 难道我们无法绕道而走吗？千百年来，古人早已作此想。只是，从他们的文字作品中，我们可以清楚看到；他们也是在苦苦挣扎， 但依旧无法脱离苦海。因而， 留下千古佳文， 供我们欣赏。

话说回来，人生在世，谁能无情？能无情者，已成飞禽走兽，非人也！因此，吾等只能劫覆一劫的活下去。奈何？

Bushido

I have been practicing karate-do for more than 40 years in Singapore. Personally I witnessed several great martial art artists grow and matured. They process the qualities of Masters. They do process great Bushido spirit and take it as part of their life.

They are heroes of themselves. They walk tall, and behave graciously.

Unfortunately, there are also many who claim to be ‘The Greatest’. They boost their status by stepping on somebody head. They do lots of self-advertising. But if we examine the facts, we will realize that most of them are frauds.

This makes me think of some fundamental issues here. One of them is Bushido spirit. Martial Art artists all know what this is. Most of us in this circle will be practicing it. There are several principles in Bushido: 1. Gi: the right decision, taken with equanimity, the right attitude, the truth. 2. Yu: bravery tinged with heroism. 3. Jin: universal love, benevolence toward mankind; compassion. 4. Rei: right action--a most essential quality, courtesy. 5. Makoto: utter sincerity; truthfulness. ó. Melyo: honor and glory. 7. Chugo: devotion, loyalty.

When I looked back to these principles, I really wonder those martial art artists do they really process these qualities?

A real great martial exponent always show his humble character; always patent in listen and coaching, always concerning, always attend matters with great passion and love.
But the strange thing is, I see lots of people who are martial artist themselves, back stepping others, bad mouth of others, or worse of all, slandering those he does not like. Are they qualified to be a martial art artist? Are they really understood the spirit and the core values of martial art?

Love

What is Love?
There often time people talk a lots about love. Do they really what's love? Lovers like to say: I love you. But do they really know what is the meaning in these words?

Few days ago, there was a piece of news about a little girl. She was missing from her own home in the afternoon. After three days of the news report, she was found dead under a flavor bridge. The prime suspect was her step father. This incident makes me re-think about what is love! If a human being can't even has a heart for another human being, I think, this person has no right to be standing among us.

There are lots of people in one hand promoting love, but in the other hand, they take away lives from the innocent people. This happens all the time in Planet Earth. Switch on your TV, view the news, you will realize what I have said is happening.

Once I watch a documentary film, it made me aware that there very few animals that would murder their own kind. Human Beings is one of these cruel creatures! And murder could take form in many faces, such as War, Religion, Race, and so on. When the blood flash red, the heart turns into ragging fury and madness.

Come to think about it, we humans are really bluffing ourselves all the time: How can we be better than those animals in the jungle?!
