Traveller 2
Traveller 2
I don’t know what tomorrow brings
But I’m bringing a heart full of joy & a tune on my lips
我不知道明天會帶來什麼 但是我會帶著一顆快樂的心 哼著歌
Control
After graduating from college, I feel like so many things are out of my control - my future, my plans, and the world around me.
If some big problem comes along, will I become cynical and hopeless? I don’t know.
畢業之後，就感受到原來自己對未來能掌握的，其實少之又少。
這個世界改變得很快，雖然我們經常計劃、準備、籌算，但將來會發生什麼事，很多都是我們控制不了的。
我經常懷疑自己，當真正的挑戰來到，當困難大到我完全沒有方法解決，我會不會還是現在的自己，如此積極樂觀，會否被現實打敗、失去盼望。未去到那一刻，我依然不知道。
Follow your heart and SHINE!
跟隨你的心 努力並閃閃發亮
Shine
After dinner with an old friend, I felt strangely sad. My friend seemed pretty normal - pursuing the things that we all do - but I noticed that she had lost her spark.
This “spark” seems like an abstract concept, but I’ve seen before! It might be a passion for food, a mother’s love for her children, or hard work towards a goal… This spark looks like stars sparkling around a person, and when I see that spark, it motivates me to work hard too!
跟一位老朋友食飯，大家說說近況、聊聊天，原本平凡的一頓飯，吃完竟覺得有點失落、有點可惜。對方擁有一般人都在追求的東西，可是我在她眼裡，好像再看不到閃亮的光芒。閃光這個東西好像有點抽象，可能對每個人來說，都有不同的定義或者看法。對我而言，我曾經多次在身邊的人身上，看到閃亮的星光！也許是當一個人在默默照顧身邊的朋友，也可以是一個人談及她如何熱愛食物，要推介什麼什麼給你時，或是一個人為了一件事而奮鬥努力，還有是當一個母親看到孩子的微笑，忘掉自己有多麼累和辛勞時。在這些時刻，我好像真的看到有些星星在這些人身上飄散出來，當我看到別人的光芒，我也會想更加努力向前進！
Time flies when friends are nearby
當好友在身邊，時光就飛逝
Music
Three months might be long, when you’re on the road, traveling. But in terms of your whole life, it’s short!
Two hours of a boring lecture seems long, but a day of fun flies right by!
A song might only be three minutes long, but it’s an accumulation of a lot of time, soul, emotion and hard work…
For me, time flies when friends are nearby.
三個月對於一個旅行來說，好像很長，但對於一生而言，可以說是很短。
兩小時的沉悶課堂很漫長，一天快樂時光卻是一閃而過。
一首歌只有三分鐘，但細心聽可以聽到背後數不盡的心機、想法、感情……
而我覺得跟熟悉的朋友在一起，時間過得最快。
May your weirdest dreams take you places you’ve never been before…
願你最奇異的夢想 帶你去你從未去過的地方

Once we were commissioned to paint a giant mural at a camp site on Lantau island. Suddenly, the two of us felt like professional painters, although it was our first time doing such a project! Before starting, we knew nothing about cleaning and prepping the wall, buying the right kind of paint and tools. We even had “siu mei” for lunch everyday, as painters do. It was funny that the people in charge of the camp site would trust us with their wall. But by chance, and our willingness to try anything, we stepped out and completed the task. We did something we never imagined we would!
有幾天我們去了大嶼山一個營地畫壁畫，兩個女生搖身一變，成了油牆師傅！ 我對裝修一竅不通，完全無概念，從未想像過自己會油油，而且還連續三日吃了燒味飯（果真像個師傅）！ 真是很難得對方會相信我們能完成，因為連我都覺得難以置信！ 兩個人就這樣誤打誤撞的嘗試、向未想像過會去的地方，踏出奇怪而有趣的一步。
Even if you are hurt, do not give up on loving.
即使你受傷了，也不要放棄愛。

I often watch videos on relationships, and it reminds me that we never learn much about relationships at school. We’re supposed to learn these things organically, but how much do we actually learn?
We can learn from real-life mistakes, but through the process, we might have hurt others or gotten really hurt. After getting hurt, we hide, or build a wall around ourselves out of fear. Although it’s really hard to face ourselves and our bad experiences, please don’t quit loving and being loved.
經常看一些關於關係的短片，令我想起我們在學校裡其實沒有認真學習過怎樣和別人相處，好像這些事，我們慢慢就會懂， 但事實上，有多少事是我們自自然然就會學識呢？
我們可能從錯誤中學習，但在這學習過程裡，可能已傷害了不少人，或被人傷得很深。
受傷後，可能會躲起來、心底的懼怕或令人築起圍牆來保護自己，拒絕或防衛。雖然要面對自己或過去的傷痛是非常困難，但請不要放棄愛和被愛的機會。
Be Present
活在當下
Tea Party
When I’m talking to people, my mind often starts wandering. I think about chores, plans, or other random things. When I’m with a group of people, some people are on their phones. Some people are in a daze and some are busy cleaning or working. Whenever I’m at a wedding reception or birthday party, I don’t feel at ease. I don’t know what to say, or how to respond. Then I get distracted and my mind wanders again.
Recently though, I’ve realised that the best gift for someone, is to just be there with them at that moment, giving them my full attention.
和人聊天時，經常想東想西，或許是未完成的事、或許是一些雞毛蒜皮的事。
一大班人在一起時，也許有人看手機、有人發呆、有人忙東忙西。
去飲宴或是生日派對時，我總是感到不自在，不知道應不應該說些什麼，或是給什麼反應，然後開始心不在焉、想東想西或直接發呆……
後來發現其實能夠送給對方最好的禮物，就是那一刻專注和對方一起。
Spend some time with yourself, before starting another journey.
在開始另一段旅程之前，花些時間獨處。
Still
Sometimes I need to be by myself. I need to be quiet, do nothing, and let my feelings flow out. I talk to myself and try to understand myself more. This is how I move forward.
有時候需要一個人，靜靜的，什麼也不做，讓心裡的感受流出來。
和自己對話，讓自己更了解自己，這是我其中一個向前走的方式。
Travel to another world
去另一個世界展開旅程
Book
When I was in New York, I went to a children’s bookshop called Books of Wonder. Once I stepped inside, I felt like I had traveled to a fairytale kingdom. There was a different world in every book, so there were thousands of worlds in the bookshop! Every time I opened a book, it was like an adventure to another land.
I like to read to escape reality. I know it doesn’t really help solve any real life problems, but reading always gives me a new perspective or helps me grow.
在紐約，我們去了一間兒童書店，名叫Books of wonder，裡面有很多很多大大小小的故事書！一步彷彿踏進了另一個空間、一個童話國度。每一本書背後，作者都建構了一個世界，而這書店就有萬千個小世界，只要打開一本書，就好像去了一次旅行！
有時我會突然很想看書，可以逃離一下現實的世界，雖然我知道這對存在的問題無補於事，但是我總希望去完一敞旅程後，可能可以帶來新的觀點或一個成長了一點的自己。
