beautiful things instantaneously

爱丁堡的房子依山而建，父亲取笑说我住在山上。4月天的苏格兰8点后才日落，7点半的太阳照在公寓旁边的古城堡上，遍地黄花，叫人不由得想起张爱玲所说的看七月巧云，听苏格兰兵吹风笛和吃盐水花生。喝傍晚那一杯苦苦的黑咖啡，波兰教授的橘色长袜，西班牙女生坐在咖啡馆的玻璃窗后面优雅的抽烟，校园里的长尾巴松鼠，夜半醉归者的高歌…突然下雨了，下冰雹了，4月的半夜下雪了，5分钟以后的墨镜和大太阳，一年四季的长围巾和短袖T-Shirt。一个日常生活里的游乐场城市，寂寞人生里的美好细节。

One day when I was looking at the flowers in fresh water, I realized they wouldn't always be so fresh. Flowers bloom and wither, the clouds come and go, dawn after dawn, dusk after dusk. Only the chaotic traffic among the flashy lights outside my 34th floor Shanghai flat keep going, like time ticking away.

In December 2007, I lost my old blog www.myscotscot.blog-city.com, in which I kept many moments and details of the past few years. Although the memories are still in my mind, and they flash back every now and them, I understand all those moments in life won't ever come back, once they are gone. So does every single moment in life, they live only the moment, and they are instantaneous. So I decided to continue a blog, to keep those moments in the form of images and words.
