The Couple
by Tomas Transtromer
They turn the light off, and its white globe glows
an instant and then dissolves, like a tablet
in a glass of darkness. Then a rising.
The hotel walls shoot up into heaven’s darkness.
Their movements have grown softer, and they sleep,
but their most secret thoughts begin to meet
like two colors that meet and run together
on the wet paper in a schoolboy’s painting.
It is dark and silent. The city however has come nearer
tonight. With its windows turned off. Houses have come.
They stand packed and waiting very near,
a mob of people with blank faces.

其实 我真的很善变
其实 我真的有脾气
其实 很多时候 我真的搞不懂我怎么了
很多事
我都不知道
我都不懂
我都不认
可能是幼稚
也许是自尊在作祟
我无法承受
我无法释怀
我 无法坦诚面对
我们
真的
不一样
两个人走在一起
应该由快乐为主
两个人走在一起
应该就坦诚相对
两个人走在一起
应该是共享忍让
到底要怎样才能并肩
和你走在相同的道路
我们真的不同
我们真的不一样
我不知道要怎样把心头大石放下
我根本没有解决的方法
我真的没法接受
问题确实存在
不能逃避
但
也不想再去多想了
不想再管了
费力
费神
费时
真的累了。

20 THINGS THAT A WOMAN WANTS
Contrary to popular stereotypes, women don't need expensive handbags or diamond rings from their loved one to be happy. Yes, we like material things but it's the small gestures and habits that create a more lasting and loving impression.
1. No secrets
Share your secrets with your girl. It shows her that you trust her and you're opening up to her. Whether it's an embarrassing one or your personal wishes, we won't judge you. In fact, we think it's sweet when a guy is brave enough to admit something that only his bestfriends know (or no one at all!).
2. Be her pillar of strength
Most modern women are independent and ambition-driven, but that doesn't mean we're strong 24/7. Be there when she's feeling down, make her believe in herself when her self-confidence hits rock bottom, and she'll do the same to you.
3. Surprise her
You don't need to buy a Louis Vuitton or Prada bag to make your woman happy. Little surprises out of the blue will gain you plus points and a 100-watt smile from her. Flowers are available all year round, not only on her birthday or anniversaries. If you know she loves cute things, get her a small stuffed toy, or if she likes a certain beauty brand, get her a perfume or body care products.
4. Spare time for her
Being young and ambitious, a lot of us just concentrate on work or parties all the time, and we tend to abandon our loved one. Regular meals together will strengthen your relationship - it's a private time for both of you to talk to each other without interruptions. Remember to keep your phone away from the table though, or else you'll be paying more attention to it than to your girl!
5. Respect
A lot of guys still have a 'macho' mentality and think that women are the weaker sex. That's where you're wrong. Don't belittle her ambitions or make fun of her when she makes a mistake. Take her seriously and respect her as an individual.
6. Love her, love her body
Stop nagging about how she should hit the gym and lose weight, stop making fun of her love handles. Comparisons with other 'hot' girls won't improve your relationship or her self-esteem either. You fell inlove with her for who she is, so why the need to change her looks?
7. Cook
Cook for her once in a while. We're not talking about a five-course meal, but simple things like pasta dinner (accompanied by a bottle of good wine), or a simple breakfast in bed on a Sunday morning.
8. PDA
Hold her hand in front of your mates, give her a kiss and don't be shy to hug her in public. Don't go overboard and do it non-stop though, we want sweet gestures, not sexual ones!
9. Tell her she's beautiful
Your other half should be the most beautiful girl in the world to you, and let her know that - often! A lot of guys constantly compliment other girls but not the one who's actually next to them!
10. Share your feelings
If you miss her, let her know. Tell her how you feel about her - the 'I love you's' should be expressed more often than just during your anniversary.
11. Stand up for her
If anyone says anything bad about your girl or makes fun of her, don't be a jerk and just agree or laugh along. You should have her back and stand up for her in such situations.
12. Bring her shopping
Again, we don't mean you should max out your credit cards by bringing us to expensive, high-end stores. Monthly or bi-monthly trips to high street stores like Topshop or Forever 21, or even stand-alone clothing boutiques have affordable dresses that we love!
13. Be responsible
Pay the bills on time, don't be late to dinner dates, and help your loved one out in household matters. Guys, it's not okay to make your woman wait hours for you or on you.
14. Be more adventurous...in bed
Most of the women we conducted the survey with exclaimed that their other halves are not making enough effort in bed. If you're doing the same thing over and over again, your woman will slowly feel sexually disconnected from you, so be more adventurous and try out some new positions - after all, sex is healthy for you!
15. Chivalry is not dead
Women woud like to believe that chivalry still exists among this generation of men. Be a gentleman and hold the door open for your lady, open your car door for her, or take her hand when crossing the street. This shows that you care for her wellbeing and comfort.
16. Attention
Be attentive to your woman's needs and emotions. If she has had a tough day at work, let her rest and don't expect her to still cook dinner for you while you just sit around and watch TV. If she looks unhappy, ask her what's the matter, talk to her, or give her a hug.
17. Hang out with her friends
Make the effort to get to know her friends and be nice to them. Some guys don't think it's important to hang out with his girl's friends, but see it as a way to get to know your girl better (friends can give an insight about her character as well!) and, it's always good to have her friends on your side!
18. Be honest
The truth can hurt, but it's always best to be honest. If you want to hang out with your friends, then tell her instead of doing it behind her back (a lot of guys will give the excuse of being busy with 'work' rather than admit he's with his friends!). Or if something's bothering you, then let your girl know. A relationship can only survive when there's no communication barrier between a couple.
19. Keep your promises
Women dislike guys who are 'All Talk, No Action'. If you promised to bring her out on a date, or even small things like calling her, make sure you do it. When you keep on forgetting, you're creating the impression that you're irresponsible and she can't depend on you to keep your word.
20. She should be a priority
A girl doesn't want to be an option, she wants to be a priority. A happy relationship exists when two people make each other a priority, equally. This means being considerate, having respect and making her an important aspect of your life.
apparently, if you fulfill the last so-called criteria,
you've already got her sweeping her feets off the ground.

suitors
it has always been like that
no change
cause i rather not have it altered
i am solo
and will always ride solo until time ripes
i know today is a friday
a day to let your hair down for everyone
but a friday during exam period is just another typical friday night or so
i thought i would want to have some time for myself and treat me to a movie which i really am interested to watch but my other get the better of me and after so many hours, still stucked at 1/5 questions of natural hazards?
i gave up that thought thoroughly, well, just for today.
so i decided to pack up at 930PM.
not because im afraid of supernatural stuffs today nor is it because its getting late,
if i say this, it may just sound like im
over-sensitive to stuffs.
but for once, at least i think my women's instinct is working perfectly normal.
he has been noticing every other movement of mine which is freaking me and unfortunately, or perhaps definitely, irritates me. whatever i do, i eat the mcnuggets, i pack my stuffs, i volunteered takeaways for others at northspine, he is watching me, like watching my back.
i fcking feel suffocated.
im a gemini, i hate restrictions and supervision.
for goodness sake, its disgusting i hate to say this.
i hate guys treating me especially nice when i didnt ask for it.
i knw it seems overboard for me to spout things like this but its only for few times of observations, i couldnt even stand this in less than 3days of mugging with him.
its a fortune that he ends paper this monday and tomorrow's weekend already. god bless.
and there's this another one which i can still care to entertain because, at least he's not making an effort to make himself look suspicious by keeping mute.
at least he talks, thats why its less irritating to ignore.
i think im psycho somewhere up there.
i cannot help it.
it just got into me somewhere some part of me. its maybe inherent but highly likely not.
its tough convincing myself that they meant no harm but im already immuned to such convictions already.
they just make it seems more like lies.
thats all.
gosh, i hate making confessions.

没有妥协空间 因为不带感情
真的假的
不瞒你们说
其实那太妹有三种化身
一、当然就是太妹本身-- 很野蛮却又很风趣。很喜欢说笑，很喜欢逗人笑。但有时也会有那么点固执和对人偏见。对，太妹的个性差不多可以以这些字眼描写她这个人。
二、是只有她在所有正规男友面前才有权利目睹的。那种像似180度转变的态度以及人格真让人怀疑她到底是不是患上极为严重的「男友病」。夹在朋友与男友之间的个性，真的很令人置疑她的诚意。「小女人」真是非她默属了。
三、也是只有她本身的挚友才能看出的。或是太妹本身才会了解。内心深处隐藏的人格只有独处下才会被唤醒。那也许是种罪恶感吧。但处处伤害的只是自己给自己的。很忧郁，很寡默。
其实，每个人都会有那最后一层的自己。这是我相信的。而对只有表露出顶多三分之二的个性，很想勇敢迈向展现全部的自己。
不是有人说过吗
真实的自己只有在独处的空间底下才会被唤醒
我会等待值得被唤醒的一天

every girl should own a red heels
i still love poems.
i still love analysing them.
some things,
they never die.
The Sorrow of Love
by W. B. Yeats
The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
Had hid away earth's old and weary cry.
And then you came with those red mournful lips,
And with you came the whole of the world's tears,
And all the sorrows of her labouring ships,
And all the burden of her myriad years.
And now the sparrows warring in the eaves,
The curd-pale moon, the white stars in the sky,
And the loud chaunting of the unquiet leaves
Are shaken with earth's old and weary cry.
Meeting at Night
by Robert Browning
The gray sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low:
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i’ the slushy sand.
Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!
Morning at the Window
by T.S. Eliot
They are rattling breakfast plates in basement kitchens,
And along the trampled edges of the street
I am aware of the damp souls of housemaids
Sprouting despondently at area gates.
The brown waves of fog toss up to me
Twisted faces from the bottom of the street,
And tear from a passer-by with muddy skirts
An aimless smile that hovers in the air
And vanishes along the level of the roofs.
