Am I happy?
Finally, I'm talking about my job in ACRES. I didn't get the chance to talk in depth with anyone, until tonight, again, it's always you whom I engage in discussion about real problems with.
Almost everyone has objections about my job, especially my family who criticises it. If I have settled for a producer position in a production house, they would have been much happier. They might have felt ashamed about my current job; low pay, irregular working hours, night duties, dealing with animals. I know, even though you guys don't criticise my job, you won't encourage and think it's the right job for me. Sadly, I get influenced easily. I even thought I should be working comfortably in a production house; twice the pay, less laborious, more regular hours. And then I tell myself that this is a stepping stone to do what I really want ultimately, PETA, campaigns.
Then I get to know some colleagues who are passionate in what they are doing and are people whom I made good friends with. Particularly, this uncle, who is a businessman who had made a fortune running a business in China but decides to stop for a while to take a breather. He has the expertise and experience in managing a company, he came to ACRES and did things that were rather unbelievable to me. With his own hands, he cleared the drains which had been clogged up, sawed branches that were obstructing paths, improved pump filtration system of tanks etc etc, and he takes in the same pay as us. It has been a year, and he has been taking initiatives to implement changes that benefit the company.
He told me, it doesn't matter how long you have been here, probably 6 months, probably 2 years. Given 6 months, if you have left a legacy in the company, it outlasts the 2 years of work with no fulfilment. What he has said really motivates me, and he hopes that I can find meaning from my job. And fortunately, I was given opportunities to do it. To me, my pay now isn't the issue, but whether I can contribute to the company in a way or another.
I thought to myself, if I have accepted the sales job in WWF, raise funds to save endangered animals, work hard and get my promotions, will I be happier? I will be working hard for the money that goes into my pocket, and become money-driven. I don't feel comfortable about the thought of it. On the other hand, I'm currently in talks with my senior, who is with a production house (the one which I almost went for the interview from his recommendation), on a collaboration with them to push a project on tv. If this succeeds, the profits will the be 50:50, not sure how much that will be, but it will be a significant amount of money raised for our company. I feel happier doing this.
At the end of the day, it really is what I ultimately believe in, be focused and do it. And I got to be firm on the purpose for choosing this path and be confident of the prospects of my job, if not how do I convince my family and friends to accept what I'm doing?
Reminder to myself. It's not about having a beautiful teacup, but to have a fragrant tea in my teacup.

喜歡拆穿自己。
［獨處的時候，像跌進了深淵。
獨處的時候，心容易悄悄破碎。
獨處的時候，像拆穿全世界的謊言。］
每個人心中都藏有一些祕密，不願被猜透。
每個人心中有最脆弱的一面，不願被拆穿。
每個人心中也有最敏感的部份，往往赤裸裸地被挖出來。
一天，一整年甚至一輩子的惆悵在這一夜被縮得短短的，情感則加倍地重。
玩笑開大了卻沒有想到後果。
多少人因為自己所謂的玩笑，抱著碎裂的心，強顏歡笑繼續走著？

玩笑落在自己頭上才懂得痛。
多少人能看到你的痛，你的脆弱，你的敏感？
我們討厭的東西看得一清二楚，卻努力遮掩醜陋的自己。
為甚麼人要活得那麼敷淺，那麼自私，只想要感受到自己想感受到的東西。
為甚麼人不能潛入他人的思維里，感受他，瞭解他，給予他渴望的愛。
為甚麼一切的一切一直浮現在自己的腦海里，當下卻做不到。
我不想投降，我會抱著這顆受傷的心繼續走，走到一個光明的地方。
誰願意陪我，讓我不感到孤單。真心感謝你。

很美，很美，很美。
<无与伦比的美丽>是我写给张悬的歌，写的是我跟她的故事。
歌词引用了很多我跟她一来一往的简讯内容。
她在我站上了海洋音乐祭的大舞台前告诉我，她的夏天过的很糟，希望我能够为她过一个很棒的夏天。
我在写这首歌的时候，想到了我们开始建立深厚感情的那年夏天。
我在写这首歌的时候，想到了我们开始建立深厚感情的那年夏天。
那时候我们还没有很熟，可是在往来的简讯中，她知道我很不好，竟然马上从士林赶来信义路找我，那时候我趁著酒意和悲伤，在大街上狂奔哭泣，就像自己是一个逃兵，想要逃离一切悲伤，只有她在后面紧紧追著我，为我挡去很多不必要的人。
那年夏天，和那个晚上对我来说很重要，我永远不会忘记她跟我在街上奔跑，喘息和哭泣的模样。从那之后，夏天就变成了我们的密语，只有我们知道代表著什麼意义。
她对我而言像是一片草原，在她的陪伴和情感之上，才能舒服的被包容和安躺。
我们都想为对方发光，为对方飞翔，即使不能像风筝般飞翔，我们也有彼此，不用苦苦追赶。
这首歌是一首陪伴，希望的歌，不是悲伤的，虽然我用悲伤的方法去诠释，但会这样诠释的原因是，我是被她安慰的一方，我是悲伤的，但是我知道有她在我可以尽情的悲伤，不用遮掩，有时候可以不遮掩哀伤反而是最幸福以及快乐的事，也不用怕自己落入更深沈的哀伤中，因为温暖的光芒照在我身上，而草原的柔软在我膝下。
我很开心阿龚把我在demo中编的钢琴和弦乐完整记录表现了出来，又加上了更多美好的旋律，我是用很幸福的表情在唱这首歌的，因为录音的时候，这首歌的主人就在旁边陪著我。
