Vanilla Twilight

Vanilla Twilight
Written by Young, Adam
Vocal Owl city

The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere

'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here

I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly

The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly

I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone

But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone

I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone

As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight

When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again

And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here

一頁台北 Au Revoir Taipei

I accidentally found this movie on-line, and I really can't help but finishing it in one shot despite the upcoming shelf exam for internal medicine next week.

It is such a cute story, and it makes me miss the scenery of Taipei so much.
It is also hard to believe that those years living in Taipei have been so many years behind. Looking back, very much likely the city of Taipei has become a turning point of my journey.

I still feel regretful occasionally that I haven't been able to keep in touch with many friends in Taiwan, especially coming across those nostalgia-elicited ... scenes.

The fault is mine.

Footnote: Have to say my favorite character in this movie is 高高. XD

Psyché ranimée par le baiser de I'Amour

Antonio CANOVA - Possagno, 1757 - Venise, 1822

@ Musée du Louvre

"Psyche becomes the bride of Cupid, but knows neither his face nor his identity. To discover who he is, she spies on him as he sleeps. "Love cannot live without trust," he admonishes her before fleeing. Abandoned, and forced by Venus to perform a series of superhuman tasks, Psyche falls into a deadly sleep from which only Cupid's kiss can awaken her..."

Paris Rendezvous

It was a short meeting with my family in Paris. Living on different continents for so long, a short moment together is what even Paris's beauty cannot match.

With love from Paris,

Your son, and brother

Memories

I finally got to watch Departures (送行者) after second year medical school came to an end. It made me rethink many questions again. Questions such as how can I live up to be a doctor that I portray myself to be? Will I lose my passion or be distracted by whatever will occur in the future? How can I rejuvenate my passion whenever it starts to wither?

Maybe, the respect of death will be part of my answers.

Sixth Station

I was trying to find a song from the movie, Departures, from youtube. Surprisingly, I also found this piece by Joe Hisaishi (久石讓). This song has been my favorite from Miyazaki's animation. The melody and the scene, one-way train to the unknown land on far water, make me feel...myself.
