父親過世超過七天了

回魂夜那天，表兄們聞到我們供奉的啤酒味，爸回來了，apparently。
之前寫關於父親的東西也還沒仔細整理。

自己除了學業以外的事情，什麽都不在乎，人輕輕的。
父親過世了，看破紅塵的程度有些深度了。

父親因癌癥過世，發現的時候已經是最後一期，無感，從醫生嘴裡說出來姐姐眼眶都紅了，我安靜地站在身邊。
在巴士途中接到姐姐的電話，父親過世了，無感，但後來在巴士上哭得稀裡嘩啦，別人以為我死了父親幹嘛哭得這麼慘。

結果好像是真的死了父親。

這幾天在家裡，表兄的家人都過來我們這，很熱鬧，阿姨很會自造氣氛。
可能因為這樣罩著我的情緒，今天我即將回大學了，很多事情才開始浮出我的腦里。

爸生病的那段期間，猶如千萬張影像掃過我的眼前。

一直以來我都覺得，人要是需要幫忙的時候都要出手相助，實在太能明白陷入困境的無助，曾經那樣，我才下定決心不太拒絕別人要求的事情。

想是那麼想，能做的也做了，某個角度我可能不幫你，那時候，是因為在學業上某個原因的自私。如無關我，我不會拒絕你。

故事總結這麼一句話：
爸教我的事，不要埋怨，要強忍，在不想讓人擔心之餘，懂得自己照顧自己。

Significance / importance of sustainable architecture

What is Sustainable Development?

The word “Development ” in this definition implicates two important aspects of the concept: It is omni-disciplinary, it cannot be limited to a number of disciplines or areas, but it is applicable to the whole world and everyone and everything on it, now and in the future. Secondly, there is no set aim, but the continuation of development is the aim of the development.


Save Mother Earth - Aim of Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development is important for the environmental stability of our Mother Earth… The main focus of Sustainable Development is to preserve the natural resources and use them very cautiously so that we can protect our Mother Earth from devastation…!!

The definition is based on two concepts:
The concept of needs, comprising of the conditions for maintaining an acceptable life standard for all people, and
The concept of limits of the capacity of the environment to fulfil the needs of the present and the future, determined by the state of technology and social organization.


Architecture and Sustainability Factors

Architecture presents a unique challenge in the field of sustainability. Construction projects typically consume large amounts of materials, produce tons of waste, and often involve weighing the preservation of buildings that have historical significance against the desire for the development of newer, more modern designs.

Sustainable construction is defined as “the creation and responsible management of a healthy built environment based on resource efficient and ecological principles”. Sustainably designed buildings aim to lessen their impact on our environment through energy and resource efficiency.

It includes the following principles:
Minimising non-renewable resource consumption
Enhancing the natural environment
Eliminating or minimising the use of toxic materials

“Sustainable building” can be defined as those buildings that have minimum adverse impacts on the built and natural environment, in terms of the building themselves, their immediate surroundings and the broader regional and global setting. Thus, the rational use of natural resources and appropriate management of the building stock will contribute to saving scarce resources reducing energy consumption and improving environmental quality.

Sustainable buildings should:
Harvest all their own water and energy needs on site.
Be adapted specifically to site climate and evolve as conditions change.
Operate pollution free and generate no waste that aren’t useful for some other process in the building or immediate environment.
Promote the health and well-being of all inhabitants, as a healthy ecosystem does.
It should comprise energy efficient integrated systems that maximize efficiency and comfort.
Improve the health and diversity of the local ecosystem rather than degrade it.
Be beautiful and inspire us to dream.

Sustainable design is the thoughtful integration of architecture with electrical, mechanical, and structural engineering. In addition to concern for the traditiona; aesthetics of massing, proportion, scale, texture. Shadow and light, the facility design team needs to be concerned with long term costs: environmental, economic and human. All in all sustainable design is more of a philosophy of a building than perspective building style.

窮人VS富人

長輩有句話是這麼說的，窮人有窮人的結（婚）、有錢人有有錢人的結（婚），怎能和他們比較。

我想是對的，窮人有窮人的活法，可能不高貴、沒物質享受、沒有面子，可我想窮人有幾樣東西是有錢人無法體會的。

第一，志氣。
第二，平凡。


可能他們也會嚷嚷，啊，這樣這樣平凡多好。可是他們的平凡，永遠還是高貴的平凡。

04.05.2013 過去

某個點上 我是喜歡那裡的
你坐在駕駛座上 車鏡落了幾灑的雨水
刹車的紅燈透過它映入眼簾

映得斑駁
只因為未來我也不必再奢望
你還能那麼平凡地陪在我身旁

分手了

分手了。
有些人開始害怕孤獨。
有些沒在一起過的對方都還是那麼孤獨。

我想說，分手了。
既然對方都有一個喜歡自己的人，而他也喜歡對方，也沒什麼可以留下來的理由。
然後說一些祝福對方的話，然後再對自己說，我曾經擁有，至少我曾經擁有，好過你不曾來。

做個老好人，不是什麽值得驕傲的事情。
只是做得對得起別人，卻對不起自己的快樂。

沒有愛也不一定孤獨。
有愛，也不一定不孤獨。

既然知道愛的人不是我，那留下來有什麽用。
你本來就不會留下的了。
若是別人，當然會很理直氣壯地說，傻逼，別人都不愛你了，你留下來干X娘。
若是自己，好像也會留在記憶里生活。

我安靜，不說話，不再勸，等故事那個受害者難過。
我想，時間會帶走一切。
Everything will be nothing after all。

這麼近，那麼遠

人生應該是被夢想牽動的。

對於未來，我總是抱著莫大的幻想，一些生活，那樣的細節，天氣的變化，生活的質感，故事的裡頭總要有些讓人激起奮鬥的要點才能讓我們堅持住夢想。

於是我的生活里開始土裡土氣地出現一些文字，把你寫進我的夢里，代表性地…

拜託你陪我度過接下來的日子。
