ABOUT ME

To have better self understanding, go travel and see the world.
To understand others and the world, go to seek your soul.
My friend, Daniel said, no matter where we are, people are people, they are same same, but different.

I wish we could all be happy, healthy and long life. A year break, months break is just a short period comparing to life. I think work is also fun though.
I just don't want to see, some elderly, they don't know what to do after retirement, they feel lost and useless sometimes. To have a break or retirement doesn't mean useless, it is just another way to enjoy the journey.

My favorite color... Blue
My favorite animal... Zebra
My favorite sport... Swimming
My style of music... Jazz
My style of cinema, TV... Detective and Spy
My favorite subject at school... Visual Art
My ideal job... Librarian
My favorite time... Today
I dream of living... Big city
In my ideal world... Everyday is a celebration day

There is a castle on the cloud. Rain is angels crying, it could mean bless, touch or sad but whatever, I believe rain means cleansing and new life. Rainbow is the bless to show different true color people could have, no matter gender, religion or nationality. Cascade is grand and great that made me heart beat faster and also let me feel how small I am.

過去十八歲　沒戴錶　不過有時間
夠我　沒有後顧　野性貪玩

霎眼廿七歲　時日無多　方不敢偷惰
宏願縱未了　奮鬥總不太晚

然後突然今秋
望望身邊　應該有　已盡有
我的美酒　跑車　相機　金錶　也講究
直到世間　個個也妒忌
仍不怎麼富有
用我尚有　換我沒有
其實已　用盡所擁有

曾付出　幾多心跳
來換取　一堆堆　的發票
人值得　命中減少幾秒　多買一隻錶
秒速　捉得緊了
而皮膚竟偷偷鬆了
為何用到盡了　至知哪樣緊要

勞力是　無止境
活著多好　不需要　靠物證
也不以高薪　高職　高級品　搏尊敬
就算搏到　伯爵那地位　和蕭邦的雋永
賣了任性　日拼夜拼　忘掉了為甚麼高興

曾付出　幾多心跳
來換取　一堆堆　的發票
人值得　命中減少幾秒　多買一隻錶
秒速　捉得緊了
而皮膚竟偷偷鬆了
為何用到盡了　至知哪樣緊要

記住那　關於光陰的教訓
回頭走　天已暗
你獻出了十吋　時和分
可有換到十吋金

還剩低　幾多心跳
人面脹　水晶錶面對照
連自己　亦都分析不了　得到多與少
也許　真的瘋了
那個倒影　多麼可笑
靈魂若變賣了　上鏈也沒心跳

銀或金　都不緊要
誰造機芯　一樣了
計劃了　照做了　得到了　時間卻太少

還剩低　幾多心跳
還在數　趕不及了
昂貴是這刻　我覺悟了
在時計裏　看破一生　渺渺

Lyrics by: Wyman Wong

I didn’t wear a watch but I have the time when I was 18,
so much so that I didn’t give a care and was always partying

Sudden I’m 27 and can’t afford the time to slack anymore
I haven’t achieved anything but I suppose it’s not too late to start

And then during this autumn,
I looked around me and I already have everything I should have
My fine wine, sports car, camera, gold watch that I’m expertise in
so much that I can make the world jealous
yet I don’t feel rich
I’ll use my remaining to exchange for nothing,
where in fact I’ve already used up everything

I’ve given so much in heartbeats
to exchange piles and piles of bills
Is it worth it to remove seconds from your life for a new watch?
So we watch the seconds of our day more closely,
yet our skin are loosening up on its own
Why do we have to use up everything to realize what’s important?

Hardwork is neverending
Life is grand; we don’t need to rely on objects
Nor high salary, high position, luxury goods for respect
Even if we’ve become a count or an expertise in Chopin
Slaving away at the price of life’s moments,
we’ll forget what makes us happy

I’ve given so much in heartbeats
to exchange piles and piles of bills
Is it worth it to remove seconds from your life for a new watch?
So we watch the seconds of our day more closely,
yet our skin are loosening up on its own
Why do we have to use up everything to realize what’s important?

Remember that lesson about timing*
Turn back around and it’s already dark
You’ve spent ten inches of time,
have you exchanged it for ten inches of gold?

How many heartbeats do I have remaining?
My face swollen, a sharp contrast to my crystal watch,
to the point where I can’t even grasp my belongings
Maybe I’ve driven mad,
this shadow is hilarious
If I’ve sold my soul, rewinding won’t bring back the heartbeats

Silver or gold doesn’t matter
Who made it remains the same
Planned, activated, achieved, yet there’s not enough time

How many heartbeats do I have remaining?
Still counting? There’s no time
The most precious is this moment, I’ve realized
I’ve seen my life through this watch, tick tock

* This is to refer to a common Chinese saying:
「一吋光陰一吋金，吋金難買吋光陰」
”One inch of time, one inch of gold; It’s hard to use the inch of gold to buy the inch of time”

PHILOSOPHY

“路盤深谷出岭望。後山日照前山霾”

Living as I am dying tomorrow or next second.

It is not a black and white world. Life is colorful and there are plenty of choice. I am independent, to choose and do whatever I would like to, without blame and regret. At the same time, respect to others, especially the people love me and treat me with respect. I am mature, reliable, financially stable, and able to communicate well

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I was planning to work aboard, e.g.working holiday scheme since I was in high school in 2005. Then, I joined some Working holiday meetings from Travel Life forum and I met couples of good friends there. One of them gave me a book named 'Checked-in' in Chinese by a Hong Kong female writer which introduced Couchsurfing, hospitalityclub and globalfreeloaders in 2008. After that, I did WWOOF and Help exchange.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I went surfng in Oz and UAE. It was so much fun and learning that people makes people feel good and happy, so we could all share, learn and grow up together. I like bringing my local food and gifts and enjoy to try the local food my hosts made. I hosted once before, i wasn't happy because it didn't match to my daily life but I didn't talk about it before, so I was also responsible for this problem.
