珍惜一切 就算没有拥有




《稻香》词曲:周杰伦 Key:A major

对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨
跌倒了就不敢继续往前走
为什么人要这么的脆弱 堕落

请你打开电视看看
多少人为生命在努力勇敢的走下去
我们是不是该知足
珍惜一切 就算没有拥有

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡 随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑 乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好

不要这么容易就想放弃 就像我说的
追不到的梦想 换个梦不就得了
为自己的人生鲜艳上色 先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色

笑一个吧 功成名就不是目的
让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义
童年的纸飞机 现在终于飞回我手里

所谓的那快乐 赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了
偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了 谁在偷笑呢
我靠着稻草人吹着风唱着歌睡着了

哦 哦 午后吉它在虫鸣中更清脆
哦 哦 阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎
珍惜一切 就算没有拥有

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡 随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑 乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好

还记得你说家是唯一的城堡 随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑 小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑 乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧 回到最初的美好

Into the boxes. Into the trays.

Cleaning up my room is such a herculean task.

On day 1 of my holiday, I spent more than 12 hours cleaning up just part of the room, including the desk and some other stuff that has been around for 10 years.

When was my last time cleaning up my room? I asked myself this question and I couldn't answer.

The mess is immense, and the dust is overwhelming.

I transferred stuff from crumpled paper boxes into plastic
storage boxes. This allowed me to sort out items and only keep those that are useful and the unwanted ones into the bin.

Again I stumbled into the same crossroad many times - what to keep and what to dump.

There are things that look useful, but the fact is you have never used them for years. The ever tricky part is you'll never know you'd need to use them tomorrow.

Checking out on a box full of paperwork, notes, exercise books, photographs and commemorative booklets left over from my school days sent me into the passage of time. It made me think of my classmates. How many of them that I'm still in touch with? The number is pathetic.

Then there were the sketches, messages and notes taken on stacks of rough papers. You'll never know how naive you were back then and how much you have changed after so many years. It's now only I realized I've wasted so much paper during school days. That's a whole lot of trees!

I remember starting the cleaning after lunch, about 3, and I was still working after the hour hand of the clock made a roundtrip.

I had a hard time sorting out the items into types and classes. I did my best and for those that I couldn't, I put them into another box and I will come back to do the sorting later. The see-thru plastic boxes should keep me aware of what's inside the box and what needs to be put away one day.

At least I have a cleaner looking desk now and enough room for my Bamboo Fun graphic tablet.

I did these sketches with my tablet in Windows Journal. It's a rough plan of my room and the progress of the spring clean. Again I have to apologize because it's in Chinese as I did not think of posting it online.


(Pardon my handwriting.)

I must say drawing and sketching with a pen tablet is so much easier in comparison with the stubburn mouse. The pressure sensor works like a charm and you are in total control of how and where your strokes go. Notetaking and sketching on a PC has never been so much fun!
