birthday day-out!

it is 06 november 2016! a beautiful sunday, wearing my favorite stay real doremon t-shirt, grey pair of shorts and light blue sneakers. i am having a date with myself in a cafe, indulging in the moment and enjoying a cup of hot cappuccino. =)

it is quite a while since i last wrote a birthday blog. this year feels like i have reached another significant milestone in life, taking time to pause and look back. time has wings! it has been a crazy 7 years since i took the courage to create programme (tcc) on my birthday in 2009! recently, i have been reflecting on what had happened over the last 7 years. seems like yesterday, yet days just pass by. tcc had been a transformational experience, a reborn, disrupting whatever i had known or did not know about myself, pushing myself out of my comfort zone. it has not been easy, questioning the status quo, testing my limits, fighting with myself within and treading into an unknown future. 

i remembered the fear and anxiety when i decided to join the leadership programme after tcc, uncertain of what was ahead. the 1 year plus programme was full of sweat and tears, emotional, destructing my current foundation and reconstructing a new one. the friendships built at that time became a strong support to me subsequently. 

after the programme, i went back to cerebos, only to resign half a year later, giving myself a career break to catch up with the things i wanted to do. i travelled to nepal, worked in a bookstore and before starting on another internal audit job, got diagnosed with illness. the universe was giving me a second chance to relook again, although too big a surprise to me then. i went for treatments and from time to time, gradually accepting the reality. meanwhile, never expected myself to join a fashion e-commence company, yet timely and blessed to come by. i am still very much in touch with the colleagues, meeting up with them once in a while. i moved on to start a furniture rental company with kelvin, zhang yi and jada. it was an emotional entrepreneurial journey for the past 3 years, working with business partners, making decisions and constantly fighting with myself internally. we went through a lot and after evaluating the circumstances now, this is probably the best decision that we move on from here. 

i am now working in the finance department of a media production company. back into the corporate world, but looking at things from a different perspective. 

in a book i have read recently, called "the code of extraordinary mind", by the founder of mind valley, vishen lakhiani, he shares about the power of gratitude, appreciating the reverse gap, suggesting us to look backward, and appreciate how far we've come. as i looked back, i am appreciative of how far i have grown over the last 7 years, overcoming challenges, learning to be grateful for the little things in life, my friends and family and be at peace with myself. there are upsets along the way, serving as lessons to know myself better.

i start to meditate daily, after hearing about the benefits of meditation and experiencing a 10 days vipassana meditation retreat in taichung last year end. being present to my breath helps to clear the mind and keep myself in balance.

thank you for the perseverance and resilience to make things happen! i wish for myself to keep creating exciting adventures and experiences for the years ahead! happy birthday to me! 

with love,
me

如果我遇见五月天阿信?

如果我遇见五月天阿信,会是如何?感谢的话不在话下。感谢五月天一路的陪伴,创作出无数的金典好歌,在人生的不同阶段都有一首五月天的歌。无论是开心或不开心,彷佛五月天就在身旁,陪着自己一起走过。也感谢五月天在我生病的时候给我加油,打气。一晃,17年就这么一起走过。

最后,鼓起勇气把握一生一次难得的机会,问,“我可以跟你们合照吗?” 兴奋地站在阿信身旁,拍下这难忘的一刻。然后,把整个过程和照片记录下来,变成永恒的回忆。终于达成我以为是遥不可及的心愿! 再之后,骄傲地到处跟朋友炫耀,逼着他们感受着我的兴奋,虽然他们可能只是微笑敷衍。=p

如果我们不曾相遇,我会是在哪里?
如果我们从不曾相识,不存在这首歌曲。

茫茫人生中,感谢相遇五月天!

p/s: 最近观看了台北电台 hit fm 和完全娱乐在 2016年9月26日,联手录制的《好9不见五月天》的现场直播,邀请了8位幸运的五迷和五月天面对面。突发奇想,于是写了这篇文章。

若干年前到上海公干时,和阿信最“近距离”的合照!

五月天 ≪just rock it 2016 就是≫演唱会

2016年8月5日,我又参加了一次五月天的新加坡演唱会,just rock it 就是演唱会。时隔三年,他们再次回到了室内体育馆开唱。这次也带来了他们睽违4年7个月的新专辑,作品9号,≪自传≫,history of tomorrow。

在三个半小时里,一起唱着我们熟悉的旧歌,也唱了新专辑的新歌。有我喜欢的台语歌 ,≪勇敢≫ 和 ≪憨人≫, 新歌 ,≪后来的我们≫,≪派对动物≫,≪顽固≫ ,挥动着荧光棒一起大合唱,≪知足≫ ,≪突然好想你≫ ,≪你不是真正的快乐≫ ,等等等。他们歪腰的 talking 更是演唱会的亮点之一。

这一次,又在人生的交叉口,碰上了五月天的演唱会。有些彷徨与不安,可也从这次的演唱会,让我感受到熟悉又舒服的五月天,带着满满的感动与力量迎向未知的未来。

只能说,非常庆幸我的自传里,有五月天。 太感谢了!!! 加油!!!

勇敢

时时刻刻,让自己勇敢,再勇敢。加油!

勇敢

作词:阿信         作曲:怪兽

甘讲这是失去希望的时代
甘讲这是失去期待的所在
甘讲咱一世人只有忍耐 只有愤慨 只有无奈
只有目屎无人知 吞落腹肚内
看到心愿慢慢变成不甘愿
才知期待未当静静的等待
不管咱是天才或是奴才 只有拼着 所有气力
挑战无情的世间 一天一冬 一世人到永远
一遍搁一遍
不知影 谁在安排 命运好歹 一人拢一款
有时阵 想要放弃 想要怨叹 想要流目屎
等一天 黑暗过去 苦尽甘来 人生滋味才了解
为的彼个将来 要自己 勇敢再勇敢

若有一天若我消失在世间
若有我的故事给谁人熟识
不管阮是成功或是失败 我的名字 号做勇敢
唱作美丽的歌曲 一字一句 一世人到永远
一遍搁一遍
不知影 谁在安排 命运好歹 一人拢一款
有时阵 想要放弃 想要怨叹 想要流目屎
等一天 黑暗过去 苦尽甘来 人生滋味才了解
为的彼个将来 要自己 勇敢再勇敢

风无情 雨无情 命运也无情
若有胆 若有心 风雨算什么
飘浪一生 就要盘过 最高的海浪
不知影 谁在安排 命运好歹 一人拢一款
有时阵 想要放弃 想要怨叹 想要流目屎
等一天 黑暗过去 苦尽甘来 人生滋味才了解
为的彼个将来 要自己 勇敢再勇

哆啦A梦!

我最喜欢的哆啦A梦道具就是任意门。只要打开那扇门,便能到达心里想去的地方。有时,当心情感到疲惫时, 我就会幻想自己打开任意门,走进了尼泊尔的山上。想象着和哆啦A梦坐在草地上,静静地欣赏眼前壮观的冰山美景。那是我暂时休息,的地方。A梦伴随着我成长,有一段时间我每个星期天早晨都准时收看哆啦A梦卡通。我喜欢哆啦A对大雄的不离不弃,在大雄遇到困难时,使用不同的道具及时相救,体现深深的友谊。对我而言,哆啦A梦的魅力,在于它天马行空的无限创意,幽默以及感动。

2014年10月18日,我特地前去新山参观哆啦A100件神奇道具展览。这个展览是为了庆祝哆啦A100岁的生日。一进入展览厅,在我眼前的,就是任意门!太兴奋了!展览展示了100件哆啦A梦的道具,个别展厅也展示了哆啦A梦怎么失去了耳朵和为何变成蓝色的故事,哆啦A梦的时光机,大雄的家以及课室。展览别出心裁,让参观者能与不同道具互动和拍照。我也带上了竹蜻蜓,在天空飞翔!非常用心的的展览,让我无比享受,太好玩了!

真希望现实中也有属于自己的哆啦A梦!

专注

我在台中内观课程最大的收获之一,是培养专注用餐这件事。去上课之前,有个不好的习惯,就是一边吃晚餐,一边看着电视或电脑,一心二用,以为能省点时间。可是,晚餐往往跟着节目的长短才总算吃完,知道不有效,却欲罢不能。在内观课程中,我们必须切断任何对外的接触,手机也暂时被保管,直到课程结束。在课程中,也不能对任何参与者有注视,为的就是把所有的注意力专注在自己身上。就这样,我每天三餐都专注于在我面前的食物,感受食物的味道,在牙齿间咀嚼着。当注意力都集中在食物上,更能有条理,不花太多时间,就把一餐吃完

回到家之后,每当吃饭时,不知不觉就会想起那段日子,时时提醒自己要专注用餐,也就改变成好习惯。非常感谢那时细心为我们准备食物的义工们,让我们能享受每一餐,也让我从中获益良多
