Beyond-喜欢你


张国荣-追

What is it in life that you expect? What is it in life that you are pursuing? Many people nowadays are educated to study more in order to get better jobs. Many define success as having an empire where one owns big house, luxurious car, good career and more money. Is this your cup of tea?
As for me, a married simple lady does not want to be limited or restricted with the definition because luxury in material is not I aim for. If you knew me, I have been wanting HAPPINESS, to me happiness means everything. And thankfully I found part of the happiness.
Next thing I want to do is, to find my permanent happiness-BLISS. I am fine with staying in a normal house as long as it is contented with lovely and happy people. In another words, living in a sweet happy family. I ever dreamed of staying in a wooden cottage near a waterfall where only my family and I stay together far from the city life. A place so near to nature where green green forest within touch and surrounded with fresh air so fresh that you feel the cool breeze.
I am glad that I found Ananda Marga yoga society (ananda marga=path of bliss) and currently attending their certificate and diploma course. Here, I finally found a path to lead me to a more peaceful life and hopefully I am getting nearer it. During my entry-interview with one of the acaryas, I mentioned that I want to lead a life that is happy, a happiness that will last. Career & power are not what I want because I realized they don't bring happiness to me.
So, what about you? What are you pursuing in life? Do you agree with me, journey of a life matters the most rather than the destination?

Sharing with you one of my husband's favourite soup recipes.
If you like vegetable and something light, you may like this.













Ingredients:
Spinach (rich source of iron and calcium)
chicken bones
chicken breast meat
garlic
egg
salt
soya sauce

First of all, do all the necessary cleaning on spinach, chicken bones, breast meat and garlic.
1. Heat up a pot of water and drop some garlic in it.
2. When the water is boiling, put in the chicken bones
3. Wait for few minutes and next put in the whole breast meat into the pot.
4. Approximately after 3-4 minutes(depends on the size of the breast meat), take out the meat and put in a bowl. (Don't let the whole breast meat simmer too long in the soup as over cook it will spoil the texture).
5. When the breast meat is a little colder, use your hands and tear the breast meat into shredded meat (while the soup is still boiling).
6. Let the soup simmer for about half an hour to let out the aroma of garlic and bone.
7. This time, you can put in the spinach and let it boil (depends on how you want your vege to be done, if you prefer soft and smooth texture, let them boil for a longer time).
8. Next, put in the shredded chicken (make sure the shredded meat is cooked this time before serving).
9. As for the egg, roughly beat the egg and then put in the egg into the boiling soup using a tablespoon (or a chinese tablespoon), spoon by spoon.
11. After a while, the soup is ready to be served.

Last evening was my first day of yoga certificate class, Yoga History. We were taught of the correct way of breathing and some Asana postures such as Shavasana (corpse posture), Yogamudra and Bhujaungasana and we were briefed on the history of Yoga and India (used to be Bharat). Interesting!
Looking forward to the next class tomorrow. Can't wait to explore more.

当你在穿山越岭的另一边
我在孤独的路上没有尽头
一辈子有多少的来不及
发现 已经 失去
最重要的东西
恍然大悟 早已远去
为何总是在犯错之后
才肯相信 错的是自己
他们说这就是人生
试著体会 试著忍住眼泪
还是躲不开应该有的情绪
我不会奢求世界停止转动
我知道逃避一点都没有用
只是这段时间裡 尤其在夜裡
还是会想起 难忘的事情
我想我的思念是一种病
久久不能痊癒
当你在穿山越岭的另一边
我在孤独的路上没有尽头
时常感觉你在耳后的呼吸
却未曾感觉你在心口的鼻息
汲汲营营
忘记身边的人需要爱和关心
藉口总是拉远了距离
不知不觉 无声无息
我们总是在抱怨事与愿违
却不愿意回头看看自己
想想自己 到底做了甚麼蠢事情
也许是上帝给我一个试炼
只是这伤口需要花点时间
只是会想念 过去的一切
那些人事物 会离我远去
而我们终究也会远离
变成回忆
Oh 思念是一种病
Oh 思念是一种病 一种病
多久没有说我爱你
多久没有拥抱你所爱的人
当这个世界不在那麼美好
只有爱可以让他更好
我相信一切都来得及
别管那些纷纷扰扰
别让不开心的事 停下了脚步
就怕你不说 就怕你不做
别让遗憾继续 一切都来得及

分开之后另一年的春天
记忆也像下雪一样溶解
那些有你在身边的影片
呼的一声飞得老远老远
爱在夏天过完之后 锁在秋天
捱过冬天之后的我 好了一些 嘿
雨后的天上 彩虹出现 衬出一片蓝天
*我在淋过一场大雨之后的晴朗
那是春雨里洗过的太阳
每个冬季带的失落 伤得多深
然后忽然看懂云的形状(Oh Yeah)
If you listen to the rhythm of the pouring rain
那是春雨里洗过的太阳
每个冬季带的失落 伤得多深
每个呼吸都是新的芬芳(Oh Yeah)*

分开是另一年的春天
记忆也像下雪一样溶解
那些有你在身边的影片
呼的一声飞得老远老远
爱在夏天过完之后 锁在秋天
但捱过冬天之后的我 好了一些 嘿
雨后的天上 彩虹出现 衬出一片蓝天 *~*

流下的眼泪 留下了智慧
爱情会天亮 也一定会黑
世界会等我 它问我冬天过去没
*
那是春雨里洗过的太阳 (春雨你的太阳)

Wow! So good, so relax! After so many years of long hair, I finally had my hair cut on the 31st Dec 2008, welcoming 2009 with my new look.
Many prefer my look in long hair (which I thought the same) but I still love having this short hair cut, I feel so good, feel so light. It's so easy to manage. So fresh!
