每次面对抉择或甚至处于"被动"时,回来跟不回来之间有什么差别?

自愿走或“被动”而走,回来或不回来,有分别吗?
这又会对自己的人生有什么影响?

Sad.........

星光二班 - 魏如昀 - 音乐的热忱
喜欢一样东西是因为有过人的成就,有人给予recognition,还是纯粹的热爱?


时间是2008年8月24日。今天在YOUTUBE游览了一下,忽然去看一看超级星光大道第二季。有一名参赛者引起了我的注意。她是魏如昀。看了她几次的比赛,我真的有一种莫名的感动。因此决定写这一篇entry,更决定以她的名字来命名。

从预赛到前六强在她被淘汰之前,她大多数在PK时都是演唱自己创作的歌曲。她的词曲都作得不错。的确,她的声音不是绝无仅有的,也不是星光二班里最出类拔萃的。她在前六强的时候被淘汰了,而之后她也自动从败部复活赛中抽离,不愿再进入冠军赛。

让我感动的是她的辛路历程,她从来没有放弃创作,也一直持续地创作,即使没被星探挖掘,她的热忱还是没有退减。即使比赛没有得奖,没有成为超级星光大道的前三名,但这些都没有影响她个人对音乐的热忱。这是让我最感动的。。。这真的是纯粹对音乐的热爱,对于有没有外在的赞赏,还是一直努力不懈。我真的很感动,其实看着她的辛路历程,我除了说感动,我找不到更好的形容词。因为身为一名歌手,她的声音或许不够特别,但也就因为这样,我才感受到她的热忱。她不是因为在音乐有很高的成就/得过很多奖,才爱上音乐的。相反的,她没得到什么奖,但还是不停地创作,作自己喜欢的东西,这才是纯真的热忱。

很多人喜欢一样东西是因为他们在方面有成就/有外在的赞赏。但试想想,若没有这一切成就,人是否还会喜欢那个活动?多少人还会像魏如昀一样,做自己喜欢的事,根本不管有没有外在的recognition? 喜欢舞蹈的人是因为自己会跳舞才喜欢舞蹈,还是纯粹喜欢“正在跳舞”的那个过程/感觉?我清楚地知道我为什么喜欢舞蹈。

正因为如此,我在DI已经很久没有十足地开心过了。。。我已很久没有跳舞跳到一身疲惫,一身是汗。最后一次那么感觉到是2007年,《你我他》和Jeffrey一起跳舞,那个时候就真的辛苦,真的努力过,奋斗过。。。

看着魏如昀对音乐的热爱,我会引以为榜样。我会持续这一段路,即使会一个人走下去,我都会一直坚持着。要学会懂得不要在乎别人的眼光,不要在乎是否有外在的赞赏,即使自己的舞蹈作品没有被发布的机会,我都会坚持创作下去。。。

感动

Time, Tasks, Friends & Fate

Time is 19-Aug-08, Recently every night when im alone, i start to feel tt time is passing by me damn freaking fast, almost at lightning speed... I got really not enough of time to match all the tasks at hand.... Tasks come in all forms & patterns, for instance, my room has been piled up with "chicken" files from audit and its so freakin messy. Didnt haf time to clean up my room & table, didnt have time to do a dance properly for Anyhow art, not to mention the other dance. Plus, no time to look for other career options in life. So many tasks to do, yet time is not enough.

Friends & Fate? Recently due to busy schedules betw all circles of frenz, I didnt get to meet up with them for quite a long time le. Passed by Sam's blog and the song "Tian Gao Di Hou" was played on his blog. Really brings back lots of memories with my diff groups of frenz. Now, all these frenz have entered diff phases of their lives and we are almost all mutually exclusive le. Not blaming anything, this is juz Fate. Time passes, Life goes on, and Frenz move on, all controlled/ influenced by Fate.

So its really kinda saddening, esp when im typing this every entry, the song by Shin - Tian Gao Di Hou is being played....

Careerwise, some frenz are leaving the firm soon/ intending to leave within next few mths, im like...... a little sad? Cos in a way, im happy for them tt they leave this place in search of a better life that they deserve. Really happy that they are leaving for better prospects, but at the same time, i get a tinch of sourness in my heart. Its like....... I dun really know alot of ppl in the firm now.... as in really know, not hi-bye only, then now these ppl leaving only leaves me knowing less ppl in my firm.... =(
Then at e same time seeing these frenz leave, i wonder how i will be like in 1 yr's time? Cos i really dun haf much time left le, and e career options are damn limited, which is oso a task actually, to look for alternative careers.
Back to Sq 1, lost at crossroads as to where to go, what to do......

Amidst all these, i haf not even brought in DI's O/S issues to settle. Though i know DI's issues cannot settle one, and its not worth it oso, but then diaozz.... Im still the Chairman anyway, though i think aft this yr, i can pass on le...

So ya, the pt is : So many tasks, so little time, so many frenz no longer there, all part of Fate?

Even tired cannot describe the current me, perhaps overwhelmed & flooded is more appropriate, to the extent im a little disorientated and blur now........ =(
