Back To Reality

Sometimes ... saying something is easier than doing it . Action speaks louder than words , this i must agree with . Though sometimes we really tell ourselves to do something , to be committed in something . To ensure that we keep out own promises , we tend to make empty promises to ourselves , just to cheat or console our own conscience . However , the truth is that we might or might not know that we will not be so committed to it . We try , we fail , we stop . We are decieving ourselves ... most of the time ...

That day i was practicing Pipa outside , along the pavements , facing the window , because its too cold . So , im actually not practicing in the practice rooms , meaning people who walk pass can hear what im playing . Then someone came ... he plays the Dizi , i didnt recognize him . He is very friendly , he came forward and asked if i remembered him ... then after some hesitation , i refreshed and i remembered i saw him in SPCO before . He was there to have his lesson with Zhan YongMing , the Dizi master ... After him next , was Zhan YongMing himself . He came and he asked from whom i learned the Pipa from ... Next , i met QingLun , the Dizi player in SYCO . He was having lesson with Zhan too . We met , we chatted about NAFA ... and him considering coming to NAFA ... hes very friendly , very nice . However , sometimes being nice is an actual hiding of one's own bad character , but QingLun seemed very decent ... When i went home , i met Zhan again in the lift . He smiled to me and he said something like i am very natural , and very comfortable with music , then he asked whether i like Chinese Music .

After seeing , witnessing , so many different types of masks , u wouldnt be very sure whether the person in front of u is wearing one or not . Masks dun just appear like it was in the past . Nowadays , masks are so unique , so controversial and so far more absract . I know plenty of people who wear masks . I must admit i do wear masks often too . The masks i wore , doesnt advantage to myself , it helps others somehow , sometimes . However , a mask is definitely neccessary when i meet someone who also wears one . Plenty ... i dun wish to point fingers again ... but u can expect who are my same few targets after reading so many of my other blog entries ... i shouldnt say too much ... i'll stop here ...

Things people say are like music sometimes . Pleasant phrases , making beautiful melodies in music . Sweet and gentle , making colourful tone quality . However , like the opposite of things , there are crashes of harmony , cacophony and even heavy accented notes , it makes music interesting ... somehow , sometimes .

I have no idea why people have to judge others by their physical attributions . I believe in inner beauty , but sometimes the physical attribution should be there . I expect some basics to be present ... though how nice somebody is ... usually they'll be judged first based on impression . Therefore , its still important . However , should anyone know that person quite long enough , then i think they should judge him by his characters , instead of looks . We live in a very practical and ever-accelerating society , we must be realistic . Remember the topic of reality ? I mentioned it a long time ago in my past blog entries ... Though our morals tell us this or that , but its common sense of reality that proves everything wrong . Will u promote the girl with better looks while both obtained the same qualification ? Of course the better looking one gets the job ... its obvious . Its reality .
