自从上次画画挺成功后，超过半年时间一直没机会再次挑战。趁着转换工作期间的几天假期回老家，终于重操画笔。这次试着画早餐食物。
Since succeed of last drawing, I haven’t had another chance to challenge drawing for more than half a year. Taking the chance of going back to hometown for holidays while changing job, I’ve finally get to pick up my drawing brushes again. This time, I’m gonna draw breakfast food.

结果：大失败！终于明白，要登天，最首先要练好基本功。上次的成功可能是昙花一现而已。
The outcome: a BIG failure! I’ve finally understood that you’ve to learn to walk before learning to run. The succeed last time maybe was just once in a blue moon.

画画失败，走出屋外，清澄的夜空里挂着圆圆的月亮，旁边还点缀着一颗很明亮的星星。突然想起到KL工作4年来，回家次数越来越少，已经有多久没有看过家乡的月亮了？
Failed in drawing, I walk out the house and saw the round moon hanging in the clear nightsky decorated with a very bright star at the side. I suddenly think of ever since I worked in KL, I’ve been going back to hometown lesser and lesser over these 4 years. How long I’ve never seen the moon in my hometown?

买了刘轩的新作《放任心中的一百次流浪》。从中学时就一直很喜欢看他写的作品，不过，暂时还没听过他作的音乐。
I bought Shiuan Liu’s new book < Ambling to a Wayward Beat>. I love to read his books since I was in secondary school. But till now I haven’t got any chance to listen to his music.

距离上一次刘轩出书以及到马来西亚演说和签书会，已经是将近十年前的事了。我到现在还记得自己捧着他的书在书局呆呆的排队等他签名的样子。
It is almost 10 years since his last released book and had speech performance in Malaysia. I still remember my stupid look when I was queuing in the bookstore to get his signature.

十月来了。才一眨眼就到年底，25岁以后的每一年好像都过得很快，而2009年过得好像特别快。荒废二十几年的画画技巧（严格来说，不能用“荒废”两个字，因为从来就没掌握过）、越来越远的家乡、开始尘封的书…我美丽的青春呐，真不敢相信29年就这么过去了。

October is around the corner. This year has almost come to an end. Every year is like passing so fast after my 25th birthday, and 2009 seems like especially passing faster than ever. my drawing skill that has been abandoned for more than 20 years (seriously, I cannot use “abandon” because I actually have never ever master the skill), my further and further hometown, old books… Oh my beautiful youth, I can’t believe that 29 years has passed!
