 在時間飛逝下

 原地踏步

 與期望漸行漸遠

Suddenly i think of the tough time in the past

the feeling when they responded me was chilling

that was a shadow

i am not sure if it is still

i remembered i put my face down between my knees to feel the pain with tears

i heard nothing but confusions

what's about now?

nothing more

nothing left

nothing before 

nothing pass

nothing smile

nothing pain

nothing once again 

nothing die away

I would like to share a wonderful travel experience.

I have been skydiving during my trip in New Zealand.

We booked Skydive Lake Wanaka in advance, which was found highly recommended on the internet.
Skydiving was one of the most important plans in our itinerary, so we planned to stay at Wanaka, the place we would go skydiving, for 3 nights in case it would rain.

First day, it was cloudy.
the second day, it was still cloudy.
We started to worry that what if we couldn't go skydiving tomorrow.
Next day, we were so excited because there was almost no cloud but only sunshine.
we rushed to Skydive Lake Wanaka, read the papers, signed the agreements, changed the clothes, and waited for the first group of people back from the sky.
Very soon, we got on the air plane, flu in the blue sky, but we were sent back to the ground in 10 minutes.
"what happened?" we were so confused when we were asked to get off the air plane.
"it became cloudy and even icy." I was told by my skydiving instructor.
My friend and I were really disappointed and upset. "We even flu in the sky!"
The only thing we could do was to change tomorrow's plan, book an extra night for our hostel, and pray.

Very luckily, the weather next morning was perfect.
The air plane took us to a height of 15,000 feet height.
I was tight to my instructor, Alex, and totally pushed out by his body from the gate of the air plane.
To be honest, I didn't have time to feel the fear or excitement when I sat on the edge of the gate.
But the feeling of the sudden fall was the most exciting experience I'd ever had.
The speed of free falling was amazingly fast that I could hardly breathe and my ears hurt because of the pressure.
I even thought that I probably would faint.
Suddenly, the parachute was opened and I was so glad that I could breathe once again!
My instructor manipulated the chute so well that I could overlook the spectacular scenery from various
directions.
I felt so happy that i couldn't help but laughing when i was being hung in the air.
At that time, I realized why some people love flying so much.

Skydiving is definitely one of the greatest activities one should experience.
We were fortunate enough that we didn't miss it.
if you are going to give it a shot, here are some advice:
firstly, plan more days or flexible plans around. because it highly depends on the weather condition. you might be forced to rearrange your plan.
secondly, book on-line. they usually give discount on the internet. Skydiving is never cheap.
And then, prepare yourself in good health condition. The variation of pressure and speed brought from Free fall will make you uncomfortable.
finally, the second jump is cheaper! don't miss it!

I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go, can’t do it alone I’ve tried
And I don’t know why
Slow it down, make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
‘Cause it’s too much, yeah, it’s a lot
To be something I’m not
I’m a fool out of love
‘Cause I just can’t get enough

I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I don’t know where to go, can’t do it alone I’ve tried
And I don’t know why I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out
It’s bringing me down I know
I’ve got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

The sun is hot in the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs
And synchronize in time
It’s a joke, nobody knows
They’ve got a ticket to that show

Yeah ~ I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go, can’t do it alone I’ve tried
And I don’t know why

I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out
It’s bringing me down I know
I’ve got to let it go
And just enjoy the show-ow-ow-ow oh
Just enjoy the show-ow-ow oh oh oh

I’m just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze and love is a riddle
I dont know where to go, can’t do it alone I’ve tried
And I don’t know why

I am just a little girl lost in the moment
I’m so scared but I don’t show it
I can’t figure it out
It’s bringing me down I know
I’ve got to let it go
And just enjoy the show

Dum de dum
Dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show
Dudum de dum
Dudum de dum
Just enjoy the show

I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show
I want my money back
I want my money back
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

there must be an immune system 

going down and down and down and then just stop

and calmness follows all of that

at least...

this morning is going this way

or just like the article i read 

the mind, or yourself, protects you from the unhappiness or pains

那條長長的尾巴

只想用黑色的刺

突然很懷念那面白色

空空盪盪

其實我也只是想要空空盪盪吧

回家

框啷的開了鎖

順手的鑰匙放在左手邊的書架

右腳又不小心砰的一聲關門

嘀咕著怎麼又忘記要小聲關門

一片白白的房間

冷清

開了電腦

換套自由的衣服

拉開落地窗換換氣

腦袋可能想著什麼

不重要

我想我需要一片山

和一片海

我只是很討厭黏膩的空氣

汙濁

窒息

好累

卻偏偏不是身體累

好想睡

DEspERAte

feeling really exhausted

looks locked, every door

no way out

its so hot inside, extremely high temperature

smokes striking me

feeling so desperate to seek fresh air to breathe



cold, so cold.
