大家總是愛問 '你到底是哪裡人?'
被問及到 也很難解釋或回答一套標準答案
有時會精神錯亂 不知怎麼定位自己
血液裡是正宗道地的台灣血統 (也常被誤會是原住民)
但腦子裡塞的是又美 又歐 又台的複雜想法
可以說多種人格集合於一身
冷漠與拒人千里之外的死面孔
常把不認識我的人嚇跑
也常聽起好友說 第一次見你的時候 以為你是個bitch
其實 只是懶得make small talk
不愛聽廢話與急性子的我 常想大喊: '請快說重點!!!!!!!!!' 在美國人眼裡 我是台妹
在歐洲人眼裡 我是操著一口美式英文的黃皮膚
在中國人眼裡 我是寶島來的同胞
在台灣人眼裡 我是小老外
其實 並沒有真實的歸屬感
到哪裡 我都是局外人
唯有 在父母 家人 摯友面前 我只是個單純的AMY
我是誰?
雲裡霧裡 自己也搞不清楚
出走 是更了解自己的一種方式
所以請大家bear wtih me
因為我也還在尋找Amy的定義
January 07 Books read in 2009
Remark: need to find time to read more in 2010 January 05 我想要的 2010 resolution(1) Spend time understanding myself and developing my photography interest
(2) Learn to appreciate all humankind

(4) Don't be lazy, go out more and expand my social network through new experiences, interesting people and intriguing fields
(5) Spend quality time with family and friends
(6) Focus on building positive relationships (7) Be healthy
(8) Don't try to find excuses for myself let alone blame others (9) I'm not young any more, need to be more careful with my finances
(10) Stay optimistic. Shine, shine, shine all the time  * inspired by YC's letter * December 31 ignoranceThe present always moves forward and devours the future. We often fear its swiftness and amaze by how fast the present moves, some of us also rebel against the slowness and actually did something out of their ordinary life.
When you stand one second ahead of time, it reveals a very different look. It is no longer the conquering present capturing the future, but it is the present conquered and carried off by the past. Humankind cannot predict the 'capturing future' nor can we know any certainty but now. Who is anyone in the position to make judgement the present is good or bad when we have no knowledge where the future is dragging us to? We can only carry something called faith in our hearts and try to believe that whatever happens here and now only leads to another better corresponding variable in the future.
Loneliness is an inevitable factor in a stream of time, sometimes it ambush you when you are alone in a restaurant, creeps up in an empty chair across the table, loneliness will sit down and stares right into your eyes.
* inspired by the book 'ignorance' * November 06 the bubble so-called realityHow many of us will be saved the pain of seeing the most important things in our lives disappearing from one moment to the next? We don't know who murdered our joy, what their motives were or where the guilty parties are to be foud. Are they aware of what they've done?? I doubt it, because they, too - the depressed, the arrogant, the important and the powerful are the victims of the reality they created.
Most people in this world have a degree, they go to university and get a degree assuming such an action will do them good when they find a job and start paying taxes. But this doesn't mean they manage to find the kind of work they wanted or enjoyed, more than often people are unhappy with the reality that they are stuck in, they are restless and hopeless in the circumstances. They went to university because someone, at a time when universities seemed important, said that, in order to rise in the world, you had to have a degree.
* inspired by the book ' the witch of portobello' * September 17 愛情是種無藥可救的病症狀:
侵略方式與速度: 當肌膚相碰時, 愛情會滲透至血液裡的白血球, 紅血球與血小板
氣流會四面八方地竄, 攻至心防與心室
嚴重者會愛情中毒
療法:
無解 September 09 I EXISTI think I exist....
I am conscious of my own identity
I was born
I will die
I have arms and legs
I have a heart
I have memories of my own
I occupy a particular point in space and time
Therefore
I exist!!
* inspired by the book '1984' * September 03 we are being monitoredin this modern society that we live in
there are eyes around us that is spying on us
eavesdropping every conversation that is taking place
nothing was your own except the few cubic centimeters inside your skull
trust no one
but your own instinct!!
* inspired by the book '1984' * imagineif your name was removed from all the registers, reports, records and documents
you have no name, no family, no past, no future and no identity
ones own existence was denied and then forgotten
you were abolished
annihilated
vaporized between the living and the dead
* inspired by the book '1984' * 每一截 每一段的感情總是有它的開始 與 它的結束
曲終人散最後剩下的也只有自己
從兩個人變一個人的那一刻
頓時失去重心 不知怎麼一個人生活
舔好傷口 整頓好自己的心情
重新出發
只因
你對愛情還是充滿著希望
也只因
下一段真的會更好!!! July 10 neverdo tomorrow
what you can do today
procrastination is the thief of time
collar him!!!
* inspired by the book 'david copperfield' * July 08 Life ThoughtsWouldn't it be nice if whenever we messed up our life we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete' and start all over??
Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to the end, the fater it goes.
* inspired by a ducky * May 26 放與不放之間愛情像
熱烘烘剛出爐厚土司上的蜂蜜 甜
又像烤過許久的巴西咖啡豆 香
更像在大太陽底下打過的棉花床被 柔
總覺得晝與夜的分配不均衡
晝太過長
而夜太過短
也總是希望把最好的一面呈現給對方
但就在毫無預警下
噗嗤一聲
屁從屁眼中溜了出來
此時此刻
你們的愛情已昇華到了另一個境界
 April 24 Susan BoyleSome of you might know her
Some of you might not even heard of her
She is just a painfully ordinary person that everyone expect her to fail
She is not young nor pretty nor thin nor rich
Susan Boyle is just one of us
But when she opens her mouth and sings, she is just amazingly extraordinary
The society often does a great job at cataloguing people into different groups
The cool people group, the lame people group, the christian group, the anti-christ group, the rich people group. The group list is just endless..
We often want people to see us as sophisticated, cool, gorgeous, talented, lovable person
But you and I know very well that we more than often have our own prejudice towards the people we meet!
As I watched Susan Boyle's performance: I saw her coming out of her own shell
We experienced the gamut of emotions in a few short moments: guilt, shame, vindication, hope
Who among us does not move through life with the hidden sense, maybe even quiet desperation, that we are destined for more?
That underneath our ordinary exterior lies an extraordinary soul?
That given the right opportunity, the right stage, the right audience, we would shine as the stars we truly are?
I believe we are all caterpillars in our own cocoon, that one day will grow into a beautiful butterfly
Sometimes it is easier to admire other people, what they have and how they look
To become someone that you want to be does not happen over night
To allow yourself to be molded by your own gifts takes courage and faith
You have to be willing to stand there, and expose yourself to the rest of the world while the whole world might be laughing at you and expects you to fall
And then, of course, you have to fail, laugh or cry, and keep on going until one day, they stop laughing and start clapping
This is what I called blind-faith in your inner-self
Susan Boyle is a role model to all of us because she is one of 'us'
In all our awkward ordinariness lies genuine amazing extraordinariness!
* inspired by Britian's got talent's Susan Boyle * April 23 for nowwhy does everything have to be so hard?
maybe i'll never find my purpose
lots of people don't
but then i don't even know why i'm alive
well... who does, really?!?!
everyone is a little bit unsatisfied
everyone goes around a little empty inside
take a breathe
look around
swallow your pride
nothing lasts
life goes on
full of surprises
you'll be face with problems of all shapes and sizes
you'll have to make a few compromises
for now we're healthy
for now we're employed
for now we're happy if not over joyed
and we'll accept the things that we cannot avoid
each time you smile
it will only last for a while
life maybe scary
but it's only temporary
for now
* inspired by the musical 'Avenue Q' * April 08 sunny-side up eggsI tend to do the exact opposite of what I am told
If people are telling me - and especially if they are warning me
'Don't go there'
'Don't do that'
I tend to want to 'go there' and 'do that'
It is my nature you might say
Because I cannot genuinely trust anything that I have not seen with my own eyes or touched with my own hands
I choose to see than not see
I choose to venture out than stay put
Each of us is unique, irreplaceable soul enclosed in a fragile shell
Everyday we try to bring the dignity of the individual soul to the surface and shine a light upon it
But sometimes reality tangles our soul in its web and demeaning it
We struggle to clarify the uniqueness of our own soul
We try to spin out stories of life and death, stories of love, stories that make people cry and quake with fear and shake with laughter
This is why we go on day after day
Concocting fictions with utter seriousness
We are all human beings
Individuals transcending nationality, race and religion
We are fragile eggs faced with a solid wall called the reality
We have no hope of winning
If we have any hope of victory at all
It will have to come from believing in the utter uniqueness and irreplaceability of our own and others' souls and from the warmth we gain by joining souls together
I'm glad that your soul found your way to my soul

* inspired by an article 'hero pilot saves 155 passengers from flight 1549' * March 04 媽咪的氣味大家都說她不笑的時候
像高中老師
嚴肅正經
所以我跟小宇總是很敬畏她
每當聽到家裡的開門聲
我們小蘿蔔頭會一溜煙地從客廳衝進房間
假裝在很用功的念書
記得我上國中時
一天下起了傾盆大雨
廣播室竟叫我的名字
嚇了我一大跳
沒想到是媽咪送來的傘
當下一股暖流
從腳底竄上了心底
媽咪的義大利麵, 咖哩跟滷豬腳筍乾
是我最愛的三道菜
每次她燒這些菜
我味口大開 會吃兩晚飯
她總是天天頭痛
有記憶以來
她身上總是有淡淡的萬精油氣味
躺在她身旁
有萬油精的味道 我才睡得著
記得去荷蘭時
壓力很大
要在兩年內申請大學
有一天晚上
她跑到我房間看我念書累
給我送宵夜
她一進屋裡
我眼淚嘩啦嘩啦地止不住自己
她抱著我一起哭
還一直在我耳邊說
沒關係, 爸爸跟媽媽的要求不高
只要你念得開心就好
上大學了
離家遠了
三五天總是要跟媽咪說上一句話
她會在說流水帳似的
訴說這家裡的大小事
可愛即了
每次旅遊
她總會準備大包小包的零食
還有必備的即溶咖啡
找好景點與地圖路線
爸爸邊開車還會邊餵他牛肉乾吃
媽咪是面嚴肅 心善良的小妮子 (其實也不小了啦)
小時候要不有媽咪嚴謹的督促
我也不會是今天的我
她是我的蛔蟲
知道我餓了沒 凍了沒
整天惦記著我的Mr. Right何時出現
想跟媽咪說
我自己一個人 現在很快活
兩老的身體要顧好 倒是真的
雖然不好意思說
但
愛你喔! SOMETIMESsometimes you need to get lost
in order to find yourself
sometimes you need to get your heart broken
in order to truly love someone
sometimes you need to go through all the endeavors
in order to learn the valuable lesson
sometimes you need to walk in the pouring rain
in order to appreciate the beautiful sun
sometimes you need to go to the world's end
in order to know what you cherrish the most

Now, you all know the terminologies of 'MARKETING'
