团圆饭


我刚刚才与分別身处在3个不同地方的大哥、二哥和姐姐通过电话,向他们確定甚么时候会回 家吃团圆饭以及想要吃的菜色,毕竟这可是我们一家人在一年之中最重视的一顿晚餐,当然马虎不得。

其实,小时候,一家人住在一起,天天一起吃饭,因此,我常以为全家人可以坐下来一起吃顿团圆 饭,是那么地理所当然的。一直到后来,当兄姐们都陆续到外地深造、工作后,才发现到一家人能够在一起吃顿饭是很难得、很幸福的,也开始慢慢地懂得珍惜除夕 夜的那顿晚餐。

我的家都是在大年除夕的晚上围炉,而我们所用的火锅,可是名副其实的“火”锅,因为它 可是靠火炭来生火的。我们一家人从当天中午时分起,就开始准备火锅的材料,动手製作自家品牌的鱼丸、肉丸、熬制上汤等。我家的那两老常常为了要怎么准备食 材而斗嘴,有时候叫旁人听了都感到啼笑皆非,可是他们却似乎乐在其中,也许这就是他俩做了几十年夫妻的一种沟通方式吧!

別忘了要回家吃团圆饭呀!

每逢吃火锅时,全家最忙的就是妈妈,因为她总是忙进忙出地添加火炭,可是,她从来没有半句怨 言,她的脸上始终掛那满足的笑容。心疼妈妈忙得不可开交,所以我们买了好几个不同款式的电插式火锅送给她,可是,她始终坚持用回火炭火锅,她说火炭煮出来 的东西特別好吃。我们这些做儿女的,只好换个方式疼惜她,轮流“煽风点火”,扮演“添火炭使者”的角色了!

一家人聚在一起,吃同一锅菜,分享彼此的一切,感恩过去,期许未来──我常在想,团圆饭的意义 不就是那么地简单却又那么地深远吗?

因此,不管你多忙,记得今年一定要回家吃顿团圆饭哦!

Heaven Knows ...

Artist: Rick Price

She's always on my mind
From the time I wake up 'til I close my eyes
She's everywhere I go
She's all I know

And though she's so far away
It just keeps gettin' stronger everyday
And even now she's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breaking my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

My friends keep tellin' me
That if you really love her
You've gotta set her free
And if she returns in kind
I'll know she's mine
So tell me where do I start
'Cause it's breakin' my heart
Don't wanna let her go

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows

Why I live in despair
'Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she's never there
And all this time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray

Maybe my love will come back some day
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
'Cause heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows

遥远的她 ...

演唱:张学友
填词:潘源良
原曲:谷村新司

让晚风轻轻吹送了落霞
我已习惯每个傍晚去想她
在远方的她此刻可知道
这段情在我心始终记挂
在这半山那天
我知我知快将要别离没说话
望向她
却听到她说不要相约纵使分隔相爱不会害怕
遥遥万里
心声有否偏差
正是让这爱试出真与假
遥远的她
仿佛借风声跟我话
热情若没变哪管它沧桑变化

但这天收到她爸爸的一封信
信里面说血癌已带走她
但觉得空虚的心仿佛已僵化
过去事像炮弹心中爆炸
在这半山这天
我悲痛悲痛不已在胡乱说话
夜雨中
似听到她说不要相约纵使分隔想爱不会害怕
人没觅处
心声有否偏差
正是让这爱试出真与假
遥远的她
仿佛借风声跟我话
热情若没变哪管它沧桑变化

遥远的她
不可以再归家
我在梦里却始终只有她
遥远的她
可知我心中的说话
热情并没变哪管它沧桑变化
遥远的她
不可以再归家
我在梦里却始终只有她
遥远的她
可知我心中的说话
热情并没变哪管它沧桑变化
啊......

该不该 ..

作曲:林麗珍, 編曲:Aubrey Suwito
監製:, 填詞:冷玩妹

誰羨慕我的世界 
誰忌妒妳的一切
其實我們 都無所謂 
愛的人都在身邊 
這就是我的永遠

另一個我離妳很遠 
這感覺我都膽怯
當苦與樂 各自體會 
各有各的每一天 
只能輕描淡寫 我的淚

該不該 告訴妳我不是不愛
該不該 心靠著心才能明白
我的愛 渴望填滿 如果妳能打開

我已經習慣在最深的孤單 
才能看清楚所有自己的糾纏
不能分享是因為我也說不上來 
不是故意隱瞞 也從不想過離開

错过 ..


叶子,你也在等人吗?还是只是错过了公车?
叶子:“我在等一个我错过了的人,公车能带我去吗?”


曾经
错过了一次机会
以为自己够坚强
天真的以为时间能平复一切 ..

时间 依然一秒一秒的流逝
情感却一秒一秒的累积了起来 ..

后悔 错过
好讨厌那种感觉
好讨厌自己的不潇洒

如果 能够
不想错过 ..

[叶子,你也在等人吗?还是只是错过了公车?]

The belated cake ...


Sorry to deliver the birthday cake 6 months later as I promised to buy one on your birthday. Sorry for failing to do so on your big day. Unfortunately, it was another regret for not being able to pass you the belated birthday cake personally. Anyhow, wish you all the best and hope able to meet you again ... take care.
