欣旅惠語 VaL's Journey

“我原谅你们。”

敬爱的Daddy Mummy：

“我原谅你们。”
可能这句话
来得很莫名其妙
甚至是很没礼貌

可能这句话
我比你们
更需要听到
“我原谅你们。”

原谅你们的无知
原谅你们也不过只是人
原谅你们
用你们所懂的方式
用你们所拥有的资源
爱我、呵护我
抚养我成人

原谅你们的无奈
原谅你们并不是神
原谅你们
有不知道和没有答案的时候
有情绪、有困扰、有害怕
还是爱我，还是保护我
让我成人

我们都是先学着做儿女
再学着做父母
每一次都是第一次
每一次你我都是彼此的导师与学生

因为如此，我谢谢你们：

“爱”这一堂课 - 谢谢你们
原来会恨因为很爱
原来爱的方式不只是一个
原来爱在我还没来到这个世界时已开始
原来爱在多次的伤害后却未曾停止
原来爱一直到现在
原来爱我也有本事

“对不起”这一堂课 - 谢谢你们
原来会对不起因为爱
原来对不起可以是一种表示
原来对不起已经不知不觉
原来对不起我早已听到
原来对不起你们没有想要我说

“原谅”这一堂课 - 谢谢你们
原来会原谅也因为爱
原来原谅是一种感激
原来原谅。。。
让我们继续爱

每次我的“情书”，都不知道
你们是否看到、听到

“我原谅你们。”
我很肯定

你们已经听到了

“我原谅你们。”

我们本来是一朵云
风来了
吹散了

所以你是你
然后我是我
来到这世界

找回“我们”
找回
一朵云

寻梦云

寻梦云

 

一朵云的故事

一朵云的故事

 

Longing (to be heard)

Am stepping into the recording studio in 5 hours' time. Remembered the times I was in the studio with Laoshi and how I'd always ended up in tears, feeling completely defeated and utterly hopeless at singing.

有人问我唱歌时，在唱什么？

唱“听海” - 唱海的声音
唱“我知道你很难过” - 唱眼泪的声音
技巧，我可能很不到佳
感觉，我总是百分百

那唱“原点”的时候呢？

15岁那年
我在唱一个15岁少女单恋，然后失恋的故事
在唱自己的故事

25岁的今天
我要唱的
是我的故事
是他和她的故事
唱每一个听众
心目中
自己的故事

唱
你的故事

就因为
我的梦想
就是帮别人讲故事
讲你的故事

Longing (to be heard)

 

The Little Soul and the Sun

Received the story one morning in my email and fell in love with it. Decided to draw for it and make it into a little booklet for Qais-ians as a farewell and thank you gift.

Of course, I kept the original for Love :) And she insisted I post in on the Program's FB page.

Thought I'll share it with everyone here; a little piece of Val and her philosophy lately:

You can view the entire booklet here.

Let me know what you think! :)

Growing Up

Been told to do an introduction of myself for an interview selection for a Taiwanese Company. Looking back, remembering the times with 黎沸辉老师, I realized how far I've traveled from:

“嗨大家好！我是来至新加坡的陈欣惠，今年xx岁。很高兴来到这里，和大家分享。。。etc.”

*Shudders* Love said, "Don't ever let me catch you doing such a superficial self-introduction of yourself ever. You are so over that. You are more than that."

*Nods furiously* I AM so over that phase.
Then again, who am I NOW?

Co-dreamchaser with the Love of my life

Co-owner of Simply IS
Understudy Producer
Newbie Production Manager
Struggling Prover of this and that?

Storyteller
Writer
Composer
Singer
Actor
...and more recently, I've been itching to dance (again)
Dancer?

Painter
of Thoughts
of Emotions
of Mood
of Love, Life and Hope?

Many many question marks. I must have grown. How so? I'm not so sure actually. Browsing through my old writings, songs, reels and paintings even, I'm definitively sure that Val is much much bigger now that she was.

Recently, I co-painted a picture with Love. Incidentally, it's called “舞”.

My (Our) painting has definitely "grown" in style and story-telling.

I must really learn to play big, and be the big big me that I already am. Love mentioned, "The confident you only surfaces enough for people to catch glimpses here and there."

Hoping, praying, fingers-crossing - that these glimpses become moments that are held...and lengthened...and become a beautiful way of life :)
