The city that we were born in
is a place where I don't understand
While the place where I grew up
is now only a distant memory
Ah... the things that we encountered...
Ah... the people who were worthy of our love...
Mingled together
And now everything becomes a blank.
Ever had the feeling of being isolated from life and neglected by people you cared about? Somehow wishing that for once others would take the initiative to call you out for a cup of tea, and just enjoy being in your company, and not just remembering you because they needed somebody to pour their grievances or share their problems?
I guess it's not just the ever-changing landscapes of modernisation that rob us of the memories of our childhood days; even the people we grew up with (and work with presently) are either out of touch or becoming distant and cold. We can be living in a crowded place and yet feel alone; we can have many friends and yet feel forgotten.
Sigh... shikata ga nai ne!

So true, so true
Life is lonely but we have to face it.
Just expressing how I felt over the reality of human relationships and the thing we called friendship, that's all.
It doesn't have to be this way, but unfortunately people are too preoccupied with their lives and problems to take the initiative to show a little concern and care. In so doing, they'll probably lose a good friend who may be a source of comfort and help, and sadly without even realising it.
But like I'd said: shikata ga nai ne! (it can't be helped)
Are you Japanese?
Haaaaa!
I hate the Government but not the Japanese people. ^~
And, honestly, some of the Japanese culture are worthy to learn.
梁 san, o-sewa ni narimashita (that's very kind of you).
If people can be more understanding the world would be a better place to live in. Nobody can choose where he or she is to be born, so it is unfair to condemn a person just because he or she happens to be born in a country with a dark history.
But I suppose people don't learn from the past, and that is why there are so much conflict in the world today, still.
Shikata ga nai ne! (really, I'm using this phrase all too often, but it can't be help. Sigh!)
imouto-san, itsumo nando demo!
Borrowed the phrase from Spirited Away's ending song title, which was translated as 'Always with Me', but in actuality implies 'Always, numerous times'.
Here I'm reaffirming that you'll always be my little sister. Yah? :)
