silent night

Merry Christmas, it was snowing heavily in the northern Japan. My first white Christmas i guess.
did some winter sports 2 days continuously, as a result, knees pain. Especially for my right knee, damn, injured on the last 5km of my half marathon run. But it was fun, running together with thousands of people.
Every year i stayed in room during Christmas eve, switch on the radio, listening to Christmas songs, read some books, very peaceful.
I just love the feeling of staying home, reading some books about "what is Christmas".. relaxing..

i like "silent night" covered by Andrea Bocelli
i like "santa claus is coming to town"
freezing weather and the heater is on
look out to the balcony
it's not snowing, yet the feeling is nice
i close my eyes, nursering my knees
thinking about the to-do list of my coming new year holiday
by one week holiday,
it doesn't always mean travels
i'll make it as a kick-off week for me
korean language, french...
one year has passed, yet i'm still not learning that
the determination is not strong
i've failed to start learning
it will never fail again, as a part of my dream


running a marathon is not just because i like to run, is not because i'm healthy, but it trains my determination in life, it teaches and reminds me to not give up in whatever i do in life. I'm a very very positive thinking person, finishing a marathon reminds me to remain positive to the end of everything.

thick snowing was falling 新潟、日本

I spent my 24th December here, in this snow town

cold enough to snow

I miss autumn, but winter has arrived.

it's cold enough to snow, when i go skiing and snowboarding.

It's Christmas soon, and i wish i have a place called home.

I have it, not in Japan, but in Malaysia.

waiting for the arrival of spring, a gathering with my family in Hong Kong

waiting for the arrival of sakura, waiting for my best friend to visit me

waiting for the last sunset of 2011, as it's the time to think about past & future

waiting to learn Korean, as after Hong Kong, i wish to visit Korea

I've a "to-do list"

• Cycling to Kyoto, Osaka & Hiroshima. Once i have a plan, i'll buy a bicycle and go.
• Invite my family over to Japan, and take them to Kyoto and Hokkaido
• Gonna meet my family at Hong Kong on March next year, if have time, i wanna go visit Hong Kong university of science & technology.
• Wish i can meet with my Professor here, who will come to Kyoto University March next year
• Gonna find out and get to know some Professors in Tokyo U & Kyoto U to ask for advices.
• Mountain climbing to Minami Alps, center part of Japan. But couldn't go now coz need to find someone go with me, it's dangerous to climb alone there...
• Wanna climb a snow mountain during winter, but i need somebody to go with me too... very difficult to find one.
• Gonna finish reading all the books i bought.
• i'm an electrical hardware design engineer, i feel happy that i have had a few small accomplishments during the past few months. I love my job, i do overtime a lot and i enjoy what i'm doing. The spirit will continue! the objective is "learn everything"! ganbatte....

And my "to-do list" is still a long way to go. But i wish Santa will help me to fulfill some of the things in the list. The things i'm doing & the things i wish to do are very different from a normal 24 years old guy but i just like it and i'll just do it.

Autumn & dreams

it's Autumn

10th December 2011

I went again to the same place

to amaze the the color of yellow

to calm my mind and my body

the feeling was peaceful

a small break from a busy daily schedule

to flashback my past year

to reemphasize myself things in life

to re-acknowledge myself the things i wanna do in life

i have dreams

the dreams that won't come true if i play facebook every night

someone told me

dreams, depend on what you are doing every night

I wanted to learn Korean, and yet, I fail to turn some pages every night

I was satisfied with my first year in Japan

I've learned a lots in my job and my life here

i was scolded directly before by my boss 

i was down, but the determination never ends

there are dreams

the places i wanna go

the mountains i wanna climb

the adventures that i wanna explore

from Minami Alps to Aurora 

from a sensor that can predict earthquake

from languages around the world

 Everybody has different satisfactions in life

some eat the best foods available, and satisfied

some travel to the places they love, and satisfied

some stay together forever with the one they love, and satisfied

some accomplish their assignments in life, and satisfied

may i have all above? i'm greedy

I love this song!

三年了。。。

原来，已经三年了。。。
经历了人生中最难受的数个月
当年的12月5日，你就在我身边离开了
最后一次见到你，只有48个小时
那最后的48小时，都没怎么睡过，仿佛7天7月
那最后的48小时，你已经无法与我说话了
但我懂，你都听得见我所说的一切
当时的我，热中于电路设计，1个半月的假期都呆在大学
不停的研究，不停的努力，只希望你有一天可以见到我毕业
可以见到我在事业上的成就
真的好想，好想与你分享我在日本的一切
可是都没机会了
对了，想告诉你，经历了4个月又2天，我昨天终于完成了在東芝的第一分电路设计
不懂你听不听得见，但还是希望你听得见。。。
是你教会了我不干坏事，不乱花钱，要谦虚，时时刻刻牺牲小我，帮助他人
你还告诉了我要懂得满足，不过于追求名利，保持低调。。。
这些话，我都铭记在心，这3年，我都非常听话，多做善事
这生命中充满了挑战，特别是在异国异乡
没了你，好多时候都感到很寂寞，很空虚
但我会继续努力，妈，我爱你
希望今后一切都可以非常顺利
加油，頑張ります。
