I have in my own way appreciate and interpreted the poem, anyone lived in a pretty how town with a little help from this website. http://www.epcc.edu/faculty/joeo/any_0.htm

Hey it is a delightful and appropriate poem reflecting about dreams and life.

I adapted it to my present state of well being and came up with a personal commitment that I will gladly share with all who bothers to read this space.

Sometime about 4 years ago, I was really glad to be a “noone” and support “anyone”. Life was really blissful then and I believed I had everything that I wanted. But things started to disintegrate after a disregarded wish and a night of broken hearted sobbing.

Moving ahead, I shall be “anyone” myself since I cannot deny that it always lurking at the back of my mind. Armed with committed enthusiasm and absence of any restriction, I shall forge forward to pursue my dreams and advance further in my career. Giving myself till the end of the year to tie up the loose ends. And full speed ahead thereafter.

"Hope" will not be appearing here as a form of certainty will be in its place. 

Had been the most forunate to have the opporunity to watch the fireworks festival from the floating platform last Friday. A enormous thanks to Yong Feng for the golden ticket and Jenny to spend her birthday watching the fireworks with me. There was a 5 minutes flimsy light show and follow by a 15 minutes extravaganza of choreographed music and fireworks. I  fireworks!

My mind wanders back in time reminiscing all the fireworks that I had seen. Some more vivid and unforgetable than others.

Fireworks is just like many thing that I adored, rainbows, sunset, clear blue sky, sunrise and many more. All cannot be captured and kept physically, one simply just have to treasure the moments while it last. Maybe that is prehaps why I always have a camera with me, always hoping to share such moments with others. That’s just me but I do wonder sometimes if other really care for what I shared.

Hoping to upload the  taken during the show on my space. Do look out for it.

 The winter of death numbs a lover's pain,

 The autumn of dreams lies awake in vain,

 The summer of life sings its passing song,

 And spring comes again ...

 with courage to hope, and go on.

 "If there are seasons I would see snow, but not around here ..."

 "There are no seasons here, but there is always love ..."

Enjoy myself immensely during this musical. Thought the singing for the character for Xiao Jing was terrible but the rest of the cast was great. I strongly recommend this musical.

Something that kept coming up… Prehaps that what life is all about. Would you rather be anyone, noone, someone or everyone. My comprehension of this poem is limited, anyone care to share some light. Will be doing some research on this. 

anyone lived in a pretty how town  

by E. E. Cummings 

 Anyone lived in a pretty how town

(with up so floating many bells down)

spring summer autumn winter

he sang his didn't he danced his did

Women and men(both little and small)

cared for anyone not at all

they sowed their isn't they reaped their same

sun moon stars rain

children guessed(but only a few

and down they forgot as up they grew

autumn winter spring summer)

that noone loved him more by more

when by now and tree by leaf

she laughed his joy she cried his grief

bird by snow and stir by still

anyone's any was all to her

someones married their everyones

laughed their cryings and did their dance

(sleep wake hope and then)they

said their nevers they slept their dream

stars rain sun moon

(and only the snow can begin to explain

how children are apt to forget to remember

with up so floating many bells down)

one day anyone died i guess

(and noone stooped to kiss his face)

busy folk buried them side by side

little by little and was by was

all by all and deep by deep

and more by more they dream their sleep

noone and anyone earth by april

wish by spirit and if by yes.

Women and men(both dong and ding)

summer autumn winter spring

reaped their sowing and went their came

sun moon stars rain

The past Friday, I received a wrongly sent SMS message. The result was a rather distasteful  one. I ended spending all my idle time during the weekend scrutinizing myself. As I know myself quite well, I headed for the deepest and darkest corner of my soul. Ended up feeling a lousy and defeated throughout the whole weekend. It is not at all pleasant and I hope this feeling will go away soon.

Procrastination is my biggest shortcoming, especially regarding relationship matters. Perhaps I can just counter it with whatever my heart desire, an equally sophisticated element of life.

Hey do share any other great ideas with me on this one. 

A note that I have written on the same context on 27^th Dec 2005 which I have never shared with others.

How to say no?

I have made a decision to put all my reservation off about money and how others might think of me for a bigger cause. I not too sure if by doing so I will find happiness but I do know that's what I need to do.

Of course I am afraid of what might lies ahead but it is simply no possible to consider so much now. I am already very late to make this decision and had caused much harm to others.

Will need lots of support and help in near future. Hope there will be someone there but I will do fine alone.

I will be following through on this outstanding issue. No time to waste.
