梦一场生与死

其实有两个问题一直困扰着我,一是梦(我把它归纳于心理学),二是生和死(我个人认为是佛学);我本身很想研究这两个问题,但,有心无力。

我不晓得每个人平均一个月发几次梦,我本身却平均每天都有梦。有时记得什么梦,有时却很模糊。跟据维基百科,自由的百科全书之--- , 我的梦多数是清醒梦,又称为清明梦,意思是在梦中可以保持清醒,並且知道自己正在做梦,很可怕吧!我时常梦见校园的生活,一起上课和玩耍的朋友们;而且时常有着为考试而出现的焦虑和忐忑心情,那当然是出现在高中和大学统考时的日子。很怪吧,连睡觉也有压力,哈哈,我不要美梦,也不想要什么一廉幽梦,只好想好好地睡,一觉到天亮。

自从三年前痛失过亲人后,我对生和死特别敏感。对于身边亲人好友宝宝的诞生有着莫大的喜悦,然而也很怕失去身边任何一个人;我也学会了对身边的人付出更多的关心和珍惜。我很想在以后面对‘死亡’时不要有太大的伤心。西藏一直是我向往的旅游胜地之一。最近看的书和戏剧总和西藏连上关系,是巧合吗?书和戏剧里的主角都在西藏里找到了解脱和出路,我想我应该尽快到那儿一趟,可能在那富有佛教色彩的高原地带,我也能够有另一番领悟。

The modern way to look simply stunning..


I do not shop for make up cosmetic very often but I am very particular when I want to buy something that apply on my face. So, I have been searching around for a few months for several brands, from Givenchy to Estee Lauder, Elizaberth Arden etc and the Bobbi Brown. Finally I have decide to buy the Bobbi Brown’s Copper Diamond Shimmer brick compact and the mascara. I love this series for the natural colours, this compact features five universally flattering shades – Candle light, Gold, Copper, Beige, and Sand; which can be worn individually or together to give skin a warm golden copper glow. And of cause I love it for the multi usage. It can be use as the eye make up and apply over the face with a brush to make the skin glow. It is good enough for me as I do not use a lot of make up.

Tips to buy a suitable set of make up,

  • survey and search on www
  • walk in to the brand counter to figure out the product
  • get the brand make up stylist to show a demo on you before buying
  • ask for some sample, see if suitable for your skin


Well, next, I shall get myself some brush set… hopefully can get from Sephora @ Dubai mall. Oh well, I know, girls pandai to spend… :P

最近的歌

最近忙完了一个工作的大项目,比较空闲,除了工作,大部分时间还是在网上度过。上网找筹备婚礼的资料啦;安排了一连串回kay-elle时要做和见的人啦;上网看了蔡智恒的一些文章,亦舒的,虽然大部分的张小娴我都看了,还是很高兴有她的作品,还有需要很长时间来看张爱玲的小说。


为了让自己update一些,在上网看小说的同时,我也找了找一些的歌,万一回去kay-elle和朋友到银河系红箱子聚旧时还可以哼哼唱唱。电脑网络有点down, 没办法download, 只能stream online。我曾经学过钢琴,有一点音乐班底,但我的音乐造诣不是很深。我喜欢音乐,对音乐和歌还是有一些要求,但并不是很欣赏现在大部分的当红歌手,就算是也可能是一整个专辑里的一两首歌而已。


不要说太多,有空去听听方大同的《橙月》吧!这是一个好专辑。有个好友在听他的歌曲会有着复杂的心情,暗恋、初恋、热恋、三角恋、四角恋、失恋。。。无一漏网。' 请按 文才子把方大同都介绍得很详细。
