Day 93
Yeah, it took hundreds of people over centuries to come to this design. And it's that long history of collaboration that, to me, makes it a very perfect object.

但，這卻是歷經好幾百年、融合了上百人的巧思才設計出這個樣子。依我看來，也就是這樣漫長的通力合作下，才造就了這麼完美的成品。
【心得】現在真的比較少在用鉛筆了，比較喜歡用自動鉛筆配2B筆心，隨手記事情很方便。

但，花了數百人數世紀的時間，才提出這個設計。對我來說，正是這漫長的合作史，讓鉛筆成為非常完美的物品。

Feeling lost and feeling blue　
失落又憂傷
It's the end of the party

And the morning seems so grey　
清晨看來如此灰暗
So unlike yesterday　
完全不似昨夜
Now's the time for us to say　
現在是時候，我們該說

Happy new year

May we all have a vision now and then　
願我們能時時懷抱願景
Of a world where every neighbour is a friend

Happy new year　
新年快樂
Happy new year　
新年快樂
May we all have our hopes,
our will to try　
願我們都有夢想及意願去努力
If we don't, we might as well lay down and die　
否則我們生不如死
You and I　
你我皆然

雖然已不常寫字了，
但還是最喜歡用鉛筆。

Thanks, Columbus &VT Family ～
