The MYTH…

21st December 2012…

The conclusion of the 5,125-year “Long Count” Mayan calendar!!!
Am I scared? Honestly, NO….. I am sure you guys knew that I have the courage to face any kinds of fear EXCEPT the fear of losing my loved ones! Even if it’s the end of the world today, i find it a very warm and touching moment for me because all of us will leave this planet together and no one will be left behind! If you can imagine it, everyone will be in tears but it will be once and for all, which is very much better than losing one after another at a time and worst of all, if ever I will be the one to go first, it will leave my loved ones who are still alive sad and miserable!!!


(馬雅)神話

在2012年的12月21日....

就是馬雅人的5125年曆法的終結日!!

我害怕嗎?
老實說,不會....我知道你們都很了解我除了害怕失去我愛的人,什麼都不怕!即使今天真的是世界末日,對我而言,也會覺得這是非常溫馨與感動的時刻!因為我們將一起離開這地球,沒有人會被遺忘!如果你們可以想像一下這畫面:也許每個人都會淚流滿面,但,會是一勞永逸的,比一次一次的失去親人來的好.而且最壞的假設是,自己先走了,那麼那些愛我的人,就是傷心及哀慟了!




Honestly, this kind of fear always exists in my daily life… whether my loved ones are driving or on the plane, etc, the thoughts of an accident of something bad might happen will flash through my mind! There are so many things that seem uncontrollable in our lives… If you ever watched ‘Final Destination’, you will know what I mean!

但說實話,這種失去所愛的恐懼卻是常存在在我的日常生活中的...不管他們開車或坐飛機,那種意外好像會隨時降臨的想法都會在我腦中閃過!我們的生命中會出現太多不能掌握的東西了...如果你們曾看過”Final Destination”(絕命終結站),就會知道我的意思!




Anyway, I don’t really believe in the ‘END OF THE WORLD’ kind of thing but u know what? There is NO WAY I’m gonna that such a risk not to take precaution in it!  Imagine all the disasters happening around the world now? This just makes life more and more fragile each and every day! Hey, our Planet is really sick so it’s better to be safe than sorry and to live our life well, isn’t it?

總之, 我不是很相信”世界末日"這種東西,但不過,你們知道嗎?我還是會謹慎看待這種可能的風險!想像現在所有在這世界的災難,就足以讓生命每天愈來愈脆弱了!嘿,我們的地球真的病了,所以我們仍要有所警惕地才不會事後後悔,並好好過我們的生活,不是嗎?



Recently, I visited 2 exhibitions in Macau… Titanic and Human Bodies! Another wake up call for me… No one ever expected the Titanic disaster to happen but sometimes,a careless mistake in our life is all it takes to kill ourself! After visiting the Titanic Exhibition, i went on to tour the Human Bodies exhibition which shows us REAL Human Bodies ranging from 2 weeks old foetus to old adults. I am so proud of these people who have donated their bodies for experiment so good scientists or doctors could come out with better solutions in the medical world and at the same time, to create health awareness to the public! Obviously, most of these people knew they were going to die and I could see that from some of them, their dark lungs were due to heavy smoking which led to lung cancer! Honestly, I really don’t understand why people smoke and why some of them just can’t QUIT SMOKING… Maybe its their ‘WILLPOWER’ that is not strong enough and easily get influenced by others! Sorry for all the smokers out there but I got to say this, “I always find someone really ‘COOL’ when they can control bad temptations but if you can’t, you are somehow a ‘LOSER’ :-) So, get you GUTS out and Just QUIT this slow suicide habit!”

最近,我在澳門參觀了2個展覽...鐵達尼號及人體奧秘展!這是另一個給我的提醒!

沒有人會預料到自己會遇到像鐵達尼號的災難發生,但有時候,在自己生命中發生的一個粗心錯誤,就會要了自己的命(可能還是別人的錯誤)!

在參觀鐵達尼展之後,就去看人體奧秘展,裡面展示的有從:2個星期大的胚胎到老年人的軀體,而且是”真人實體”的展覽唷.這些展示,都曾是讓優秀的科學家或醫生們做過實驗的,讓他們得以研究出在醫藥界更好的治療解決方式,同時,也能做出對大眾健康覺察的呼籲!....深深為這些捐贈者們感到驕傲!

當中顯然的,大部份的他們是知道自己將來日無多了,而我也能從中看出一些端倪:他們深色的肺因為過度吸煙而導致肺癌!說真的,我實在不明白人們為什麼要吸煙,又,為什麼一些吸煙的人不能把它戒掉.....也許這是他們的”意志”(意念)不夠堅強及太容易受人影響吧!很抱歉啦,對吸煙的人,但我還是要說:”我一直覺得只有可以控制自己遠離誘惑的人才能算是真正的"酷",而不能的人,則是某種程度上的"遜".":-) 所以,還是拿起你的決心(/男性的尊嚴/硬起來),去戒掉這個慢性自殺的習慣吧!


In fact, there are other signs too… We got to Be Sensitive!!! I remember reading a book and it says, ” When do people really start to LIVE? The answer is… When they are about to die! So, try to give your all, love your all… Everyday!!!” These words have made me live life like there is no tomorrow… haha! I know that sounds SCARY and CRAZY to some of you but that’s just who I am! Compared to 10 years ago, I now have a massive cut down on my social life… Some of my friends might find my life really boring as most of them usually hang out few nights a week but to me, once a week every Saturday is good enough… haha! And the funny thing is, I find my life very exciting, challenging and definitely, not boring at all because when i find something I really LOVE, time is my only issue coz i only got 24 hours a day!

事實上,由上面的領悟還有一些信息,就是我們必須敏銳一點!記得一本書上寫著:"什麼時候人才會開始真的活?答案是...當他們快要死的時候!所以,請試著將自己完全付出,並全心全意愛你的每一天吧!!"

這些字句真的讓我把每一天都當做是沒有明天的活著呢!哈哈~我知道,這對你們一些人而言,聽起來多麼可怕及瘋狂,但這就是我呢!相較於10年前,我現在是大量減少了我的社交生活...我有些朋友就也許會覺得我的生活很無聊,因為他們大部份通常都會一禮拜出去好幾個晚上,但我,每個星期六出去就夠了...哈哈! 而吊詭的是,我還覺得我的生活非常刺激,具有挑戰,才不無聊哩!這是因為每當我找到了自己喜愛的事時,唯一的問題就是一天只有24小時!




Last week, there was another heartbreaking news again… the ‘BRUTAL’ murder of 20 children at Connecticut’s Newton School really shakes us to the cores… Each victim were shot multiple times and during the funeral, it really broke people down at the sight of the little coffins! I really can’t imagine seeing a Mickey Mouse in a funeral… It’s so saddening!!!  What the parent is going through now is something we can never get to imagine and it so hard to heal such devastating incidents. Honestly, I come to realise and told myself that I’ve got to live healthy in order to live long and if possible, I dont wish to leave anyone behind and I dont mind being the last to go!

上個禮拜,又一個令人心碎的新聞...美國康乃狄克州西部新鎮(Newtown)一所小學中,發生了被殘酷冷血地謀殺了20位小朋友的慘案,實在震驚著大家...

每一位受害者都遭受到多次槍殺,在喪禮中,看到那一個個小小的棺材景象,真的讓人如跌入谷底!我實在無法想像看見米奇老鼠出現在喪禮的景象...真的很悲慟!!

受害兒童的父母們將遭受什麼樣的哀慟我們也實在無能想像,這種極具毀滅性的慘案是一個難以癒合的傷口.而我因此告戒我自己一定要活得健康,才能活得夠久,讓所有人都比我早走吧,我不介意當最後一個!



Today, the projected end of the world turns out to be a MYTH and i believe a lot of people are at ease right now….hahaa! But is this another wake up call for us? l would love to think of this saga to be just the beginning and let us all live like tomorrow will be the end of the world! As long as we are still ALIVE, let’s go out and make a positive difference to this planet!  ’STOP’ wasting time doing useless things and start learning on how to develop good habits and enjoy the journey while doing ‘Meaningful’ things!

今天,世界末日預言就變成神話了,而我相信有很多人才終於鬆了一口氣吧現在...哈哈!但這是否又是給我們的另一個提醒?我會把這個傳說思考為是一個能讓我們可以把明天都當作是末日而活的開始,只要我們還活著的一天,就一起出去並做一個正面的改變給地球吧!"停止"(真的該停止了!)浪費時間去做一些無意義的事情,開始學習如何培養好習慣及如何享受自已在做有意義的事情時的旅程吧!




Last of all, I wish to express my greatest appreciation to all of you for my quiet 2012. I am indeed very happy to have the chance to visit various cities to meet so many of you… Honestly, receiving the 2012 Top 10 Asia Artist Award is nothing to be really proud of… What made me proud that night was to be able to witness the support from so many of you and YES, I really miss those ‘BLING BLING’ light boards :-) In my previous blog, I remember saying that some of you have already left the group but hey, many of you are still here!!! Received many messages from you recently and happened to know that you guys decided to show up to proof to me that you’re still here and that the only thing changed is the way how you all supported me! It is fully understandable coz people change due to age, and it is certainly normal that our actions are reflected due to this :-) The same goes to me but what remains unchanged is your presence in my heart! Thank you all so much for being so patient and understanding all these while… 有你們,我真的很幸福 :-)


最後,對我"安靜"的2012一年中,我希望可以對你們表達我極大的感激.我真的真的非常開心可以有機會去拜訪好多城市,見到許多的你們...而老實說來,得到2012亞洲十大紅人獎並不真的能讓我感到驕傲,真正讓我驕傲的是,可以在那天晚上親眼看見你們的支持!是的,我真的很想念那些‘BLING BLING’的燈牌:-)

在上一個blog中,我記得有說道感覺一些人已經離開了.但嘿~還是有很多的人仍然在的!在最近收到很多你們的留言裡,才得知你們決定要出動來向我証明你們還在,只是方式改變了而已.我完全可以理解,因為人隨著歲月變化是會改變自己的行為反應的,這非常正常,我自己也會.但,請記得,不變的是你們在我心中的存在....改:你們在我心中的存在是不變的!真的非常謝謝你們一直以來都如此的耐性及包容...有你們,我真的很幸福:-) 


Whatever we have gone through in 2012, let’s be thankful and just MOVE ON :-)
不管我們在2012遭遇了什麼,讓我們抱著感恩然後繼續向前吧 :-)

呼~
一份好長才能完成的翻譯呀!!
有感想:


1.有些字句濃縮語意似是可行,但也不要濫用.

2.多用成語文體更簡潔!left behind,用幸免於難更好也付予深度吧?!!
3.一定繼續加油,mila!!
