What? What? What?

What have you done?
Cancelled a trip to a country I dislike.
Made plans for a trip that I really like.
Decided to leave a place I like.
Not sure what the new place will look like.

What are you doing?
Proofreading manuscrupt over Talbot and chocolate brownie.
Doing data analysis to understand personality, stress, and coping.
Coping with the stress of an academic book chapter.
Hoping that the writing will soon be over.

What will you do?
Looking forward to the rain next week.
Counting down to the day to say goodbye.
Preparing a proposal for a new book.
Waiting to proofread another book.

我問小朋友:
如果你問媽媽可不可以吃雪糕做早餐,她會答允麼?為什麼?
大家各有解釋
她不是不淮你吃, 不過可能要當下午茶或飯後甜品.
我再問:
如果你問媽媽可不可以抽煙呢?
她不淮你抽煙是為你好.
我們祈禱上帝都聽到,
不被答允的禱告 ,
也許是時侯未到,
也許是得到卻會更糟,
不允許也是愛.
你可以問, 但更加要信.

To be returned

舊書

某夜, 直覺會碰到熟人,
然後, 竟在銅鑼灣商務和自己的舊作打個照面.
有差不多半桌子都是我的書.
久違了.
是時候送舊迎新.
7月書展.

幫忙

竟然在雲地利道成功平行泊車!
當然不是一擊即中, 而後面的司機竟然沒有不停響按,
算是十分幫忙.
幾星期前同一地點, 途人見我泊車有困難, 全程指導,
也是十分幫忙.
上星期離開停車場倒車有難度,
路人自告奮勇指揮交通...
在此統統謝過.
有感而發,
所謂幫忙,
有時是做一些動作,
有時是避免做一些動作.

Past midnight

A chapter away from finishing one book
28 more chapters for the other
There was lightning and
it just started to rain.
Please continue to rain.

1:19am
It continues to rain, thank you God.
I gave up writing and began to listen closely to the rain.
I feel that my stress is being washed away and my mind begins to flow far far away...
