我就是这样　　　天马行空的磁场　
或许你还不习惯　我在等你变成拍档
我就是这样　　　注定和你不一样
谢谢你欣不欣赏　我的风格是限量

摊开的手掌　　　柔软又刚强
(十指纤长　　　 指尖藏着一鼓力量)
安静的目光　　　温柔却也狂放
(眼神明亮 　　　有好多话想对你讲)
我独特的模样　　是全新的信仰

我就是这样　　　天马行空的磁场　
或许你还不习惯　我在等你变成拍档
我就是这样　　　注定和你不一样
谢谢你欣不欣赏　我的风格是限量

你不会躲在　　　不长不短的裙摆
耍无赖太依赖　　都不符合你的心态
乖乖早过了时代　怪怪才有人青睐
不需要表态　　　让大家慢慢猜
既古代又现代　　爱HIP HOP也爱李白
是女孩像男孩　　这次出场注定精彩
我嗅到英雄神采　我瞄到美人姿态
多变的节拍　　　接下来该是你跩

诗人的滥觞　　　刻板的印象
(没有文字 　　　足以介绍你的出场)
你爱晒太阳　　　我赏我的月亮
(井水河水 　　　各自徜徉各的海洋)
想发出一道光　　让世间不平凡

我就是这样　　　天马行空的磁场　
或许你还不习惯　我在等你变成拍档
我就是这样　　　注定和你不一样
谢谢你欣不欣赏　我的风格是限量

温柔 倔强 勇敢 都是我
我拥有太多 不同基因
安静 吵闹 沉默 都是我
分钟 不同的颜色

ok the bridge is abit.. err. redundant
but xDD i love the chorus!

It's Just Me
我就是這樣

Life's a bore;
only if you think it is x))

in any case, i'm editting some of my pictures that i took when i was in beijing last month from the 12th to the 19th of July and i'll upload them as soon as i'm done with them.

a short post to try to get my motivation for blogging back.

yeapps!

I was reading the newspapers and I came across this article that I found really interesting.
It's titled Live your life as a coffee bean would by Geoff Tan.

And there was this story that was told to him by a collegaue:

"It was about a young woman who went to her mother and told her how hard her life was and that she wasn't sure if she was going to make it through. She was tired of struggling and was on the verge of giving up.

Her mother took her to the kitchen,
filled three pots with water
and placed each on a high flame.

She then placed carrots into the first,
eggs into the second
and ground coffee beans in the third.

After twenty minutes of silence
and just watching the contents boil,
she turned off the burners.

She fished the carrots and eggs out and placed them into separate bowls.
She then ladled the coffee into a large mug.

The mother handed the first bowl to her daughter
and asked her to feel the carrots.
She did and noted they were soft.

The mother then asked her daughter to take an egg and break it.
She did and, after peeling off the shell,
handed her mother a hard-boiled egg.

Finally, the mother then asked her to sip the coffee.
The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich flavour and then asked:
"What does it mean, mother?"

Her mother explained that each of these objects
had undergone the same "trial" -
being boiled in water.

Each reacted differently.
The carrot went in strong, hard and relenting,
but came out softened and weak.

The fragile egg, with its liquid interior,
became hardened after the ordeal.

The ground coffee beans, however, were unique.
After they were steeped in the boiling water,
they started to change the consistency of the liquid.

She then went on to ask her daughter:
"When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond?
Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?"

You may want to ponder these questions:
Am I the carrot that seems strong,
but who, with pain and affliction,
wilts, becomes soft and loses my strength?

Or am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart and a fluid spirit,
but after a death, break-up or a financial crisis,
becomes somewhat hardened?

Or am I like the coffee bean?
The bean that actually changes the boiling water,
the very circumstances that bring it pain.
It releases its fragrant aroma and flavour
within those adverse conditions.

If you are like the bean, then when things are at their worst,
you get better and change the situation around you.
When the hour is at its darkest,
you elevate yourself positively to a whole new level."

So to quote Geoff Tan, 'Go forth and live life like a coffee bean!'

Something for everyone to think about x)

Cheers!
