The warmth of the sun connects us all

为什么失去了,还要被惩罚呢?
有多少苦痛还不是这样过来了。

在走向愈合的路上,真正的快乐就是能笑着听伤心的慢歌。
而今天我做到了。
谢谢你,让我从新找到了最真实,最快乐的自己。

My something-good turned out so good. There are still days that I will wake up afraid that everything will just slip away and that this is all the calm before a storm, but most of the days, I wake up with anticipation of the day ahead.
Things are good.
Thank you for being the ray of sunshine in my life.

Reminder

五月天 – 突然好想你

Sometime last year I desperately needed something good to happen. I embarked on a new journey and met really nice people. Now that I am starting to feel like me again, I am not going to let myself go back to where I was.

Goodbye cruel 2021

eight – IU ft. Suga

Bidding 2021 goodbye while drunk in the magic of Disney animation.

It was suppose to be such a hopeful year, for the world and the people around us. But it was tearful, terrifying and traumatic. It was a year of experience. A year of learning and perspective.

“There’s always going to be stupid people. There’s always going to be accidents. But that’s not what defeats you. It’s the fear…
But this is the way the world changes. Good people raising their babies right.”

– Catherine Avery, Grey’s Anatomy S10 E24.

現在才明白為什麼笑著哭最痛。

IU Love Poem Live Concert – Hold My Hand

2020 was quite a year. We lived through an on-going pandemic. Having long walks made me rediscovered my neighbourhood and I love it. I continue to read books for my sanity and watch television for my entertainment. And, we subscribed to Netflix, the whole family binged, at a healthy level, occasionally. We had to cancel our Poland trip 2 weeks before the departure date. I learnt to bake. We fought and learn to love each other all over again. I had insomnia, but it’s gone now. Suffered a pay cut, but it’s fine because there’re learning opportunities.

2021 was humbling thus far. Grief and goodbyes. I didn’t know that these events were so hectic. Everything became “Before” and “After”. But mostly the “After” because I can’t really remember what I was doing in the “Before”. It is sad that it takes such events to bring us together again, but at least we did. I learnt a bit about my expended families, and whatever relationships we had, I hope we move forward. It’s great to see them smiling again. They made me want to become a better person, which I am very thankful for. I am grateful for everyday.

Recently watched:
Series: The Crowned Clown, Mr. Queen, Lovestruck in the City, The Package, Grey’s Anatomy, Bridgeton, Peaky Blinders.
Films: The Trial of the Chicago 7, The Dig, Minari, The Con-heartist, The Martian.

When the whole world fades

All For You, Begin Again 2020
  1. All for you, by the Begin Again 2020 team. Something that keeps me going these days. They are so talented it’s inspiring. I have a crush on Crush.
  2. Soak up all the good around you and never take anything for granted. Keep check of your mental state. Be kind. Be brave. Breathe. Sing. Indulge.
  3. My addiction to Grey’s Anatomy continues. Reached the end of season 10, where Cristina Yang left Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital, and the character exits the series. Like all the guys that never got over her, I’m still trying to soak up the idea that I will probably never be able to see her on screen anymore. She’s such a role model. And if I’m into girls, she is the one. She’s smart, loyal, ambitious, kind, funny, beautiful. I hate it that she never got the first solo surgery of her batch; she wasn’t credited by Burke in his award winning research paper; she didn’t get her Harper Avery award even though she was deserving of them all. But those events didn’t diminish the fight in her. She didn’t leave so that she can stand a chance to win the award, she left because she found a place where she will be able to do the research that she wants to do. She suffered the worst PTSD because in times of crisis, and she saw her friends collapsing, she stayed strong as a pillar of support for them. Mostly, I admire her for her loyalty, to her peers, and to herself. Sandra Oh is such a goddess. I’m rewatching from after Burke left for all the iconic Cristina moments. Shall continue to season 11 after that.
  4. Revisiting my interests in plants. Not planting them physically, though I often have the urge to plant every other seed I come across, but reading about them and attempting to understand them. Baby steps.
  5. Learning python and machine learning. Oh, the joy of problem solving. I have been neglecting this relationship for a while now, but I’m back. Patience and bash through.

Watched: All the bright places (2020), The Queen’s Gambit (2020).
