Each Step that I'm Taking is a Step to My Soul

自言自语

很多时候,我们其实都在自言自语,脑子里、笔杆下, 只是没什么机会让别人听到我们的自言自语, 甚至是自己面对自己的自言自语。如果有一天,我们都把一生的自言自语给凑合起来,那就是我们一生的自述了。自言自语其实就代表了我们个人的想法,思想、行为,最真实的自己。

我想这不应该是日记了。因为所谓日记是记载日常发生的事件。 我应该称它为“心录”了,因为心情的涟漪而产生的感觉。

其实王家卫的电影是对的。我们独自一个人时是最自己的时候,脑子里头所想的,都是我们的自述。因为必须面对自己,所以我们才会觉得寂寞。

I don’t like the 9-6 timing. I really feel restricted. I prefer a more flexible schedule, and I know I will still do my work even if there is no boss watching over me. I just don’t want to be constrained by the time, yah 9am, I have to reach the office, and then, oh I am looking forward to 6pm. I don’t want to feel this way. In the past, I just have this feeling that I don’t like the 9-6 timing, but now that I am in the job, 不止肯定了我的想法,我甚至有了些新的感觉。我其实是不会介意一整天投入工作,只要 I have full control of the time, I can do my work at my own pace, and I know I will never delay my work, I will keep to the due date. This is my ideal work style.

9am, I dread going to work. 6pm, I am so relieved to leave the office. This is not what I should be feeling, but it’s a fact now. I have told Michael I am not keen on writing, but it’s as if I have not told him like that. I don’t like to mingle with Sam and ST, but somehow we are stationed in the same room. I don’t like being locked up in an office from 9am to 6pm, but that’s what I am experiencing now. I feel damn so restricted!!! I have to find out other means. I also have to look for more $$$. I have a lot of problems and I dunno how to go about solving them. This is life. House got problem, $$$ got problem, career got problem, face got problem……so many things else. And what am I expected to do??

星期六,我被人批评我没有办事能力。我,一个Business grad 什么都不会,什么都要等人叫。其实那个人讲些什么,我并不是很在乎。虽然他说的话有些是有道理,但他有他的想法,他的beliefs,我有我的。常常都有人误解我,我也习惯了。我在乎的是怎样才能达到我的目的,得到我真正想要的东西。

我给人误解成我为 LTA project frustrated, but I am frustrated by a lot of other things. I don’t want to work in an air-con office from 9am to 6pm, I don’t want to idle around, with nothing concrete to do. Come to think of it, I have never stayed in an air-con room for so long, for so many days, I hate air-con. I feel so restricted. I don’t want to be kept inside a room. I feel locked up.

那个 Kit 说话有时也很bombastic, I don’t understand what he meant by “Where’s your integrity?” 我当然有我的integrity definition, 他是他,我是我。我自己的integrity不是由他来决定的。他可以继续有他的想法,我不管。我兴趣不在那儿,逼我也没用,我是做不出我的最好。

我跟Producers’ Room 里的那三个从外国留学回来的人是合不来的。我也没必要强迫自己去和他们相处。他们心中已经有个steadfast的belief: NUS students are incapable, NUS students are uninitiative.

我相信我有一天会有一间房子、一个理想的事业、一个志同道合的爱情和一个环游世界的美梦的实现。

我从来都不曾相信老天会待我很好。我还记得在X初时老刘帮我们三个人算命时,那时我突然有个非常强烈的想法:QM是最幸运的,CP会是最幸福的,而我是她们的相反。真的,不是我消极或什么,我的感觉向来很少错的。

********************

我终究是个惯于独来独往的人,也许是天性,也许是惰性, 也许更是命中注定。我不会那么轻易与别人亲近。我依旧是那个不很多话的人。 我会继续独来独往,这是我的性格,也是我的际遇。我从来不觉得我会有好运过幸福的日子。因为我的思想、我的固执、我的矛盾、我的不甘心。从小我就知道了。没有人可以驯服我这只野马的,因为我脾气倔强。如果真有那么一天,有人能驯服我,那么我真的是跟定他了。

Why do we travel? We travel in part because the human race was born nomadic. Movement has been an essential part of all human existence…but most people have become settled…But dreams of other places, of a freer existence, are never far from our minds, and travel is the greatest symbol of such dreams, dreams that we had as children, imagining ourselves out in the wide world having adventures we were sure would be part of our lives when we were old enough to set off on our own.

Travel breaks through the crust of old experience and reawakens us to the joys, mysteries and miracles of everyday life.

Travel is a blessing.

但愿10年后,我们还保有这份热忱。。。
10年内可以发生许多事。。。环境、事物可能变了许多,但人也有可能无什么变化。Irene已是2 kids的妈了,最没什么变的人依然是我。习惯终究难改,曾经是这样,永远是这样。

2000 年的4月1日,我们4人之约终于到了。在莱佛士塑像前合影,它仿佛见证了我们4人的成长过程。它周围的建筑已变了,但它依然屹立在那儿。就如我们4人的友情,本质还是没变的。虽然大家的环境都起了变化。16岁与26 岁的心境还剩多少是相同的?十年的心情又怎能如此简单地由时间来判断呢?16岁,26岁,10年后的36岁的我们又是怎样的?

其实有很多旧的东西,我是应该,也可以丢弃了。但我终究是舍不得,是我念旧的心态在作怪吗?从小学至今的每一张卡片,不管是生日卡、贺年卡、圣诞卡,我都还收着,一直都不想丢,忍不下心啊!虽然当中有许多朋友是已没有再联络了。

这样子念旧是不好的,太多以前的东西堆积起来,浪费了很多空位,就好比占据了身心的极大部分,埋得密密的,等到被掀起时,却一发不可收拾。

因迟睡而无意看了《黄金年华》的重播,妈妈要看的。刚好谈到的是爱情,有个已结婚51年的老伯表达了对老婆的爱意。这样长的一段感情的确是很难得的。我觉得老妈子看了一定很有感触。她一生命就不是很好,我3岁时,她就开始守寡。老爸在世时又不是很长进,既好赌又好烟,脾气又坏,结果因为抽烟而断送了性命。老妈的婚姻生活老实说真的没什么好提的。是否间接地影响了我的心态?我总觉得我在姻缘这回事方面会和老妈很相似。我一直都不相信我会有这么好的福气。可以说我是没有信心吗?
