Meeting高錕

睡眼惺忪的早晨突然碰上Nobel Prize Winner….

我們竟然會在同一病房相遇,真榮幸(?)。

Btw 其實高教授也曾經在impromptuz出現過:

“我們偶爾互相對望,

為能兩相廝守而感到穩靠,

又恍惚如夢。“ -《 潮平岸闊‧高錕自述》

(天音:咁都係一個post? -.-)


Coincidentally watched “Still Alice” on the same day, a movie on Alzheimer’s disease. Bursted into tears again…wuuu~

Everything I accumulated in life, everything I’ve worked so hard for – now all that is being ripped away. As you can imagine, or as you know, this is hell. But it gets worse. Who can take us seriously when we are so far from who we once were? Our strange behavior and fumbled sentences change other’s perception of us and our perception of ourselves. We become ridiculous, incapable, comic. But this is not who we are, this is our disease.

…But for the time being, I’m still alive. I know I’m alive. I have people I love dearly. I have things I want to do with my life. I rail against myself for not being able to remember things – but I still have moments in the day of pure happiness and joy.

And please do not think that I am suffering. I am not suffering. I am struggling. Struggling to be part of things, to stay connected to whom I was once. So, ‘live in the moment’ I tell myself. It’s really all I can do, live in the moment. And not beat myself up too much… and not beat myself up too much for mastering the art of losing.
