blos 03/04

Just back from dinner with some guys from my platoon last time when i was in unit. Quite some time since i last saw them i must say. Everyone so busy with their stuff. PC first one to ORD. Now one by one the NSFs also ORD already and some will be joining our ranks as undergraduates. Caught up with how one another is getting on. Glad that everyone doing fine and healthy.

Time really flies yah. Already more than 2.5 years to the day i was posted there (about there lah). So known most of them for over 2 years liao i guess. Spent most of my important NS days there. Still remember the laughters and sweat and fun and troubles together. Great bunch of guys. Good mix. Fortunate to have them under me. Fortunate to have them as friends now rather than men. Didn't do a really good job of leading them perhaps. Did a really bad job towards the end i feel.

Regulars still doing the regular stuff (no pun intended). But more busy now i see. Take care yah. Freshies...welcome to a new world. See ya in school. Hopefully next time more can come.

Memories will remain i guess. Great memories.


P.S. Another game of basketball.... another injury. Bloody s**t. Shagged from being Shaq.

that girl said to me

Like this song by 黄义达. It's 那女孩对我说 if you don't get the above. But no, i don't like the singer. Yes, i very the much support Singaporean singers but somehow i don't quite like him. A bit of a poser the impression. Nonetheless, i like the song.

NTU started school already today. And we havn't even started bidding for our modules (as of this morning). Two more weeks. School starting soon.

Yeah. Dunno why this came out so fake.

Wondering what module to bid for other than my core modules. All five of them. Bloody cheats man the school. Four of the core are 3MCs. Only one is 4 MCs. So that makes me eligible for seven modules this semester. Super eligible bachelor. Yes, you read right. SEVEN. Some will be thinking... 'seven only wat'. Sorry ar but my CAP no where near 2+2 hor. I not like some people close one eye get 4.something. I worked my butts off, lived a no life life and still cannot taste or touch a four. WTF. Bad student, i hear someone at the back saying. Not good at studying. Yah, so what?? Not happy ar?? Sorry shouldn't aim my shortcomings and frustrations on you. So should i be a hardworking boy and take seven?? YOU MUST BE MAD!! Can't even handle six last sem must less seven. Shall stick to six i think. Unless something drastic changes my mind somewhere along the line. And which module should be my sixth?? Still thinking if i should take up econs or should i take a gem instead. Not decided yet. A few more days to decide. Have to decide fast. Maybe tomorrow. Good luck to all... may you get the modules you want.

那女孩对我说　(说我)保护她的梦
说这个世界　对她这样的不多
她渐渐忘了我　但是她并不晓得
遍体麟伤的我　一天也没再爱过
那女孩对我说　说我是一个小偷
偷她的回忆　塞进我的脑海中
我不需要自由　只想背着她的梦
一步步向前走　她给的永远　不重



Was praised by someone for having interesting quotes. Has been a long time since i was last praised. About time to fuel my ego. Haha. Thanks.



The worst thing is when you sort of follow a woman down the street and she turns around and she is as beautiful as you thought she was going to be. It represents everything you'll never have in your life.

the crawling suntec shuttle

Too tired to gather my thoughts....

Two gatherings a day is too much for my aging malfunctioning anatomy.

More so when i'm running on only five hours of sleep.

Don't bother taking the Suntec shuttle bus to City Hall if you're able-bodied and can f***king walk.

I hate (very) crowded MRT trains.

As a matter of fact, i hate most things and places that are crowded.

give me my broom

That's what people do. They leap... and hope to God that they can fly. If not otherwise, they'll just drop like a rock, going to hit ground soon, wondering the whole way down, "Why in the hell did i jump??" You (WHO??) are the one who makes me feel like i'm flying.

7 songs repeating on my playlist currently.

1. Cannonball
2. The Blower's Daughter
3. Fly Away
4. Journey
5. The Birthday Song
6. Vincent
7. Reflections

Whole day long. Very nice. Covers an array of stuff. Life... love... friends... no friends... family... so much more. Need to change soon if not will go mad. Fly Away by Corrinne May not FIR btw.

Going deaf very soon i think. Tell me what you want to say now if not might not be able to hear you very soon. Sigh. Sign of aging. But no... i'm still young.



Any man can sweep a woman off her feet.....





You just need the right broom.

what's in a name??

Nothing better to do these few days except to bemoan the imminent dawning of school again. Came across a site where they analyse your name and tell you more about yourself. Click HERE to access.

Recent studies by name societies disclosed that names influence character and do have a definite bearing upon one's life path. letters carry their own energy patterns relating to personality traits and needs. Name analysis using letter qualities is called ACROPHONOLOGY. This analysis of your name is a brief summary of the hidden meanings found within the letters of your own name.

Like i said i've nothing better to do so tried out all sorts of combination. Results coming up....

Wah wah wah... a lot of things leh. Also not very sure if it's true though some points sound quite true. You be the judge. But judge me not. Some points also don't quite understand what they talking about. What's "You are always saved - especially from yourself"?? Or "You have a natural protection in life"?? Maybe some things about myself i myself also cannot see and don't understand. That's the complexity and wonder of life i guess. Try it out for yourself.

And my friend don't wanna tell me what his msn nick means.

Keeps raining these few days. Like non-stop from morning till night. Ok maybe a bit exaggerated. But people are falling sick. So take care of your health and drink more water. Playing basketball and interrupted by the rain this morning. How to not get sick?? Haha. Okok take care people!!

loyalty out money in

Ok a soccer post today. If your name is yikang, then stop reading. If not sorry for the interuption.

Where's the loyalty in players nowadays huh?? Missing in so many cases and it hurts to read about it.

(1) SWP aka Shawn Wright Phillips. Told reporters that he doesn't want to leave Man City. Makes the manager very happy. Doesn't care that a big money bid for him by Chelsea was rejected. Makes the fans very happy. Then a day later pulled out of a friendly match and called chairman to say he WANTS to talk to Chelsea. And poor Man City being in the poor financial state that they are in has no choice but to accept as big a bid as they can broker from Chelsea which from reports is 21 million pounds (outragous money, coming to that later). And think by now he's already a Chelsea player flying off to the US. And this makes the fans very angry. Was a fan favourite and almost single-handedly kept Man City in the premiership. No more i guess. Only right that they're angry. If you want to leave, then don't say you don't. What's the stupid point?? No loyalty.

(2) Michael Essien. Subject of a few big money bids from Chelsea (who else??) over the past few weeks which were rejected by his club Lyon. But he's a bit better. At least he doesn't say he wants to stay. Pretty much the contrary in fact. From the onset said he WANTS to go Chelsea and that the club cannot make him stay against his own will. Kinda like a threat. He's such a important player to his team as was SWP. So he's kinda saying i want to go, but if you make me stay, then i'll not play or play badly so you gotta let me go. What's this?? And the problem is the club cannot do anything. So i guess they're trying to milk as much out of the stupid 'chelsea' cow as they can now. What he did is unprofessional and ungrateful. Ok Chelsea is a bigger team (in certain ways). So what?? Lyon is the club that groomed him and they're not bad themselves. Also never say don't let you go. Said it might be better for you to stay one more season in France. But Essien don't see it that way apparently. Chairman and manager say he's not for sale and he comes out and say that's not the case and that the club will try to "help" him make his dream move. What's this?? No loyalty. Ungrateful brats.

Of course still got a lot of cases. Blood a bit boiling to carry on now. And don't think you're a genius if you see the link between the two cases. Yes it's the f**king rich Chelski making trouble. What the hell they think they doing. Not surprised if the players are being tapped up already. So what if you are f**king rich?? No one can compete with their cash anymore. So they pick their players and the rest pick up what's left. Someone also commented that they might end up like Scott Parker. Don't mind. Serves them right. And then the ever great newcastle can go in and kio sai (pick up shit for those who don't get it).

Loyalty is a thing in the past now i guess. Money speaks louder. Shouts i think. People like Ryan Giggs and Paolo Maldini a thing of the past. But i guess they're from already highly successful clubs that's why. No love left in football. Money rules. Thanks to the f**king rich Chelsea. Stupid Chelski. Sigh. So sad. Outragous money they are paying for players now. Can't get cheap players anymore i guess. Every club will be looking to milk them dry. I will if i'm in their shoes. They started off on the wrong footing and so no choice that's the way it is now.

The great Graeme "Goof" Souness looking to bring in 5 more players. Please do. One more year for him here i guess. Emre and Parker rules. We need more players.....

nkf torch'd

Might as well do something useful while waiting for my hair to dry. Just came back from my (near-)midnight show of Fantastic 4. Actually not bad lah. Good entertainment. At least my friend who went in all sleepy and tired did not fall asleep at all. Quite funny at times though not much action. Well F4 is not known for their action anyway. Though i found the human torch aka johnny a bit of an a**hole (probably more of a attention-seeker). But he was very funny. Like the part he tickled ben's face causing ben to slam a pie into his own face. Haha. A few more funny moments. Seeing the 4 reminds me of people i know. Think more and stop acting like a kid. Think too much but don't know how to act. Yeah sounds familiar. Maybe it's myself i'm talking about here. Took my nian rong bao (NR8) back. Seems longer the journey this time compared to the last time. Maybe because of the rain. Have to endure with the terrible singing of the couple that sat behind me for 80% of the journey. Buay ta han.

Before that though, went around visiting friends who are working. Haha. Got a friend who rented a stall space at Chinatown Point selling milo otah and mango juice. Called his store M/O/M and said he's very creative. Well....ok quite. Haha. Wanted to experience this so he went ahead and did it. Think i don't have the guts and energy and drive to do what he did. Continue to be the loser i am. Quite impressed actually. Well wouldn't have expected less of him. Then saw another one working at wisma isetan and he was shocked to see me. Only remembered he's working there as i walked past wisma. A few more are also selling sausages at the food fest at taka square. They managed to sneak a portion out for us to eat. Told us it cost around 10 bucks. Free. Haha. Very good. And very full. Waited for them to finish work to catch the film thus the lateness. While waiting for them ate at the Galilee n Friends at cineleisure. Was previously Lips. Don't know why change. Thought business was quite brisk for them. Yah and the service was damn slow. Very slow. No activities for the past couple of days then a very tired day.

Yah and my friend is selling otah and milo and whatever at Chinatown Point till Sunday so if you pass by might want to go try.

And now to the no.1 hot topic in town.... the nkf saga. I need to ask why this issue has escalated to the degree it is at now?? Haha. Don't quite get it. Ok 1.8 million over 3 years for a CEO of a charity organisation might be a bit too much . And yes they bluff us on the reserves that they hold. So we fell cheated and so buay song. And a lot of people who all along do not like the way nkf does thing found this a very convenient time to jump onto the bandwagon. But are we to judge when what we know is in patches and not even verified?? Maybe it's good the entire board decided to step down. People don't trust them anymore and if they stay on then all the donations might stop. But like the health minister says let's wait for the full investigation before making full judgement. If they're in the wrong and does illegal things then they'll of course be punished. Now that this issue has reached this level they also no where to run. But if it's not entirely true then Mr Khaw says it's only right it be mentioned to clear (maybe part of) their name.

Yes i don't like their too aggressive style sometimes as well. I don't normally watch the charity shows on tv unless my mother is watching. And i absolutely cannot take the last part where all the stars come together and cry and call out the number pleading us to call. A bit over. But read somewhere that the another purpose of the show is to raise awareness of the situations of patients and of the illness to us ignorant singaporeans. And it has succeeded to a certain extent i feel. Like Dr Vivian said maybe because they're a public funded organisation thus they have to bear the full blunt of the public's expectations and in this case they've failed. A sad and unfortunate episode like Mrs Goh said. I am also a monthly donar to nkf of a few dollars. I don't think i will stop now. Maybe because i'm too lazy. But maybe also because this is the only good deed that i'm doing and i don't want to stop. Like so many have said the patients still need us. But think about it, the number of praises and recognition and sadness fired at Durai... is he that bad and unsculpurous a man as a lot of people paint him out to be?? I don't think so. But he got to pay now for a couple of mistakes he made. Like my friend said don't go and sue people when your cupboard is filled with skeletons. And the health minister sealed their fate when asked if they should step down and he relied it would be very helpful. Still think it's funny. Let's wait and see yah. And now because of this no one cares about the huang na murder and a few more army personnel who died.

Wow... very tired. Yah that's it. Actually also don't know what i'm thinking. Shagged.

It's not complicated, no variables, no math. Just feelings.

childish

It's been a while. Quite busy this weekend. Quite. Something like that. Second saturday in a row spent at holland v into the morning. This time all the way into the morning as we waited for the first bus. Like my friend said i think the nearest night spot to us westerners is holland v liao. True maybe. Life is great?!

Spent 2 hours (6-8pm) on saturday and sunday on fort canning giving out phamplets for SRT or the Singapore Respitory Theatre. Actually it's the Singapore Dance Theatre holding a performance there over the weekend. It's The Little Mermaid and it's called ballet under the stars i think. Actually the idea quite nice. They set up a stage in front of a big open patch of grass below the fort canning centre and the audience can start coming in at around 5 i think for a picnic. The actual performance starts at 7.30pm. They will come with mats and food and enjoy the night under the stars. A lot of families. A lot of children. Very cute. Some friends. Very relaxed atmosphere i feel.

But there's a stark contrast and difference between expats and singaporeans (at least some of them we met). Expats are generally (yes mark this word) more polite and appreciative of things (maybe not the best ways to say it). At least they'll say THANK YOU and smile and so on. Singaporeans (SOME) on the other hand give a bothered and impatient face and some stare like we have just wasted a few seconds of their precious lives. I really do mean some. A lot of singaporeans are also quite polite too. Think the courtesy campaign may be paying off in a small way. Lots of mosquitoes at fort canning by the way.

Don't know why still feel very tired now.

Shared a table with an uncle at the coffee shop the other day and talked cock with him. He mistook me for a secondary school kid!! Sigh. Do i look childish or i am childish on the whole?? Short fat ugly and childish....

dear oh dear boys

A lot of thoughts at this moment but also don't know how to put it into words. Actually i always have a lot of thoughts. I'm a dreamer. Yes i can dream both in the day and night. Very impressive right. Chanced upon a video clip this morning as i was clearing stuff off my hard disk which is exploding. No it's not porn. No it's not something i downloaded (and i say again i'm not a pirate). Actually it's a short 20 minutes video clip from more than a year back. I'm not going to elaborate on what this video contains as it's rather personal. But it brought back a lot of memories. I said earlier i'm a dreamer right. Some people live in the past. Some live for the present. Some look far ahead into the future. The latter might possibly be the ones who accomplish more. 2 things here. (1) i said might. (2) the entire statement might not even be true. I'm more of a mix of the first 2 types. I believe the past is important and history (in any sense) shapes who we are. Of course we can't possibly keep living in the past. We call this type of people despondents. We got to live for the present at the very least. But i'm not one who likes to look to far out into the abyss. Those who know me would probably know i have no idea what i want to be when i graduate (or should i say if i graduate). Hell, i don't even know what i want to be or do next week. I'm happy the way i currently am. Maybe. Having enough to eat and enjoy doing things i like. Maybe i've not grown up at the ripe old age of 21 and am really still a kid inside. At least sometimes. Is this wrong?? Maybe. Maybe not.

Wow digress a lot here. Yah back to my video clip. Very hard to put what i'm thinking into words here. Maybe it's fate or destiny that 2 or more people can meet and get aquainted with each other. But after that initial brushstroke by fate, it'll go and take a backseat and the persons will have to take over the baton to maintain it. Yes i'm talking about friendships. In a way i am. 2 friends can drift apart if no effort is made on either side's part to maintain or sustain it. If you were originally very good friends, it might become good friends over a period of time. If it was only an aquaintance, then it'll be even more difficult. As a very lazy person, i got to admit i've made many friends and also lost many over my 2 decades of existance. It's rather sad sometimes. Really. Stupid video clip (no i don't mean it).

Just got my hands on dear boys act II vol 17 and 18. Have already forgotten when this series started. Have already forgotten when vol 16 was published. All i know is that it's a bloody bloody long wait. For those who have no idea what i'm talking about, i'm talking about a comic book. Got my hands on 17 but forgot what the hell 16 was about. And for that matter 15, 14, 13..... Think need to go back and recap a bit before advancing. Why can't it be faster. I think it has been a couple of years if i'm not wrong. For a comic book. Sigh. Just wanted to complain somewhere. It's a nice comic really.

Watched jue dui superstar on channel u earlier. Standard not very high i feel. Actually not comfortable with a number of things. During the performance show, one of the judge spoke rojak chinese or should i say rojak english as the majority of her (oops) comment was in english. but this is a chinese singing competition show right? During the results show, the arrangement was very messy. The hosting was not smooth. The computer jackpot thing is a lame idea and it sucks. A lot of things just felt wrong. Don't know why. Singapore idol that time was better i feel in terms of arrangement at least. My personal feelings ok.

And here's another song from Team America like i said i would.

I missed you more than Michael Bay missed the mark
When he made Pearl Harbour.
I missed you more than the movie missed the point.
And that's an awful lot girl.
And now, now you've gone away.
All I'm trying to say
Is Pearl Harbour sucked and
I miss you.

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school.
He was terrible in that film.
I need you like Cuba Gooding needs a bigger part.
He's way better than Ben Affleck.
Now, all I can think about is your smile.
And that shitty movie too.
Pearl Harbour sucked and
I miss you.

Pearl Harbour sucked,
Just a little bit more than I miss you.

Nice right?! Catch the show if you can.

everyone is ronery

My friend very recently wrote (complained is a more apt word in this case) about how lonely (which is in fact pronounced as ronery) he feels nowadays. I'm not going to say anything about it just that everyone feels ronery and alone from time to time. I feel that way too more than from time to time actually. Late in the night. When i wake up. At 5pm in the afternoon. See so many. But the important thing is that we must be positive and have a not-negative (two positives in a sentence too much right) outlook. Not going to lie and say i've done that. Still trying to achieve that. But some people are so positive that you got to be amazed and impressed. And they seem happy. Seem because i really have no idea how they feel deep deep inside. Maybe a little ronery as well. But it's important to be happy right?? Different people place different priorities in life and searches for different aims and goals. Some find it easily some don't. Some find it quick while some take an entire lifetime seeking and searching. Being the slacker that i am and most of you already know and recognised, i don't really do that most of the time. I'm someone who likes to go with the flow and shun qi zhi ran. I like things planned but hates the rigidity. I like neatness but hates the process. Sigh. So difficult being me. Smiling when i feel sad and heartbroken. Laughing when i'm obviously disappointed and down. It's difficult being me. Maybe that's why i'm ronery.

We ought to slow down sometimes in life. The pace sometimes just blows me off. Yes i'm a slacker and i move slowly. So what?? When we move too fast then things slip past us so easily. Things change and evole at such a furious rate. Technology develops until it's just not possible for us to catch up with anymore. But we have to move fast if not we'll be left behind in our competitive society where everyone is just waiting for each other to fall. Is there a need?? Is there a need to be so quick and rushed all the time?? Was on the mrt this afternoon alighting at clementi. Stood in the middle of the sliding door already but the people on the other side of the door waiting to board covered the whole doorway. I thought we had courtesy campaigns and whatsoever but i seriously have some difficulty alighting and needed to squeeze past 3 or 4 people. Imagine the auntie behind me carrying 2 huge giant (the supermarket not a description) shopping bags having her hands full. How much harder is that for her?? Sigh. I'm not saying i'm very courteous or polite but i try to be. Hell, you ask most of my friends and polite is the last thing that comes out. Not all the time maybe but most of the time perhaps. The train will not close the door when you are boarding half-way. Some will even wait for you if they see you running. So what's the hurry?? I thought we should let the passengers alighting alight first. And the fact was that there were no empty seats on board and still people rush. For what?? And this is not the first time this happened. That's why sometimes i hate (maybe too strong a word) it here. Don't get me wrong. I like Singapore and will proudly sing our national anthem. I realise how lucky we are to be in this country. That's why i study in a university here and not in australia (not only because of financial issues ok). But can't we ever change? Maybe some day.

And for those who have not seen "Team America: World Police" which is by the way a movie before please do catch if you have the time. Was screened here some time back but did not receive too much publicity. A bit underhyped maybe. Nice movie. Funny movie. Satire, metaphors, black humour and crude humour. A lot of jokes in it and a lot of pointing and laughing at certain issues. I recommend it. And a song from the movie which is quite nice. You'll appreciate more if you watch it yourself.

I'm so ronery, so ronery
So ronery and sadry arone
There's no one, just me onry
Sitting on my own little home
I work very hard and make up great plans
But nobody listens no one understands
Seem like no one takes me seriousry
And so i'm ronery, a little ronery
Poor little me.

There's nobody I can rerate to
Feel like a bird in a cage
It's kind of silly but not really
Because it's filling my body with rage
I'm the smartest most clever most physically fit
But nobody else seem to rearise it
When I change the world maybe they'll notice me
Until then,
I'll just be ronery (Sigh), a little ronery
Poor little me.

I'm so ronery.

Quite true right. Maybe my friend was right. Maybe another song i like tomorrow.

give me my racket

Channel 5 telecasted the singapore aviva open badminton matches in the afternoon when i woke up. 5 final matches shown back to back. Very exciting. Very nice. Impressive. But if both finalists from the same country then the atmosphere is not that good not that rowdy. For example the women finals and the women doubles finals. Atmosphere quite sombre and like practice match like that. Not that exciting. But if both finalists are from different lands, then it's different. The mixed doubles and the men finals very exciting. High level of badminton (not to say the other matches don't have). And the good thing is that not all are won by the chinese. If not it'll be even more boring.

Just watch the Wimbledon men finals on Channel 5 also (good job there). Not that exciting as at the back of the mind you know that roger will beat andy. Both are good players but roger federer is playing better and shows more class and poise on court than andy roddick. For andy roddick he depends a lot on his serves and his returns are not that impressive. But roger federer has a wider range of arsenal at his disposal. He makes it look easy. Deserved victory probably. But if this goes on it'll get very boring. 3rd Wimbledon title in a row (defeating roddick on all 3 occasions in consecutive years, how bad can it get for the yan dao). "It was a repeat of last year's final and once again Roddick's muscular might was no match for the sublime all-court skills of the world's top player." Also he has won 36 games in a row on grass. Unbeaten how about that? On his way to be a great. But will make men's tennis damn boring. Women final was yesterday night. Caught some of the match at the Harry's bar i mentioned. Wanted davenport to win but too bad her injury came up again and venus took advantage and won. Too bad. Don't like the williams sister.

So give me my racket and maybe i'll be as good as taufik hidayat and roger federer. Haha. Yes keeping my dreams alive. 人因梦想而伟大。I'll keep on dreaming. Haha. Maybe it's time to move to racket games. Who's game??

harry and songs

Played basketball yesterday morning. Terrible i tell you. No fitness. No skill. Time to retire maybe. Haha. Tired. Went home and fell asleep. Got a few precious hours of sleep before evening.

Then had my secondary class (sort of) gathering yesterday evening at Holland V (yes again). Was on time for once. Haha. Congratulations. Dinner at Fei Chui restuarant. Not bad. There were around 8 of us (yes...class gathering) and had planned to go Wala-Wala after that. But due to certain reasons (actually i also not sure of what, could be too many people or the noise) went Harry's Bar instead. Made it in time for happy hour ordering and in the end was much cheaper. Spent 4-5 hours there i think. Wow. Talked cock, drank, ate (some finger food). Not bad (minus the nachos). Pub singer came in and started a while after we settled. A girl singing. A guy playing guitar. The rapport between them was not bad actually. Singing was good. Much better than some who participated in idol (auditions lah). Songs mainly classics and oldies. Very good. Much better than the present hiphop style. Left with the conclusion of their singing. Already 1 plus liao. After a further cup of tea (coffeeshop teh) then all went home. Range of topics discussed was quite wide ranged but one took the mainstage. If you know what i mean. Like i said before different people have different personalities attitudes and interests and after such a long time it becomes clearer. Maybe that's it.

Don't mind such a thing again. Can't write anymore. Another boring sunday. Welcome july.

如果你累或孤单需要力量　oh　回过头我永远　会在身旁。

meaningful songs

What makes you like or fall in love with a song??

Could be the singer, music, rythem or lyrics etc. Some songs (or should i say a lot of songs) have very meaningful and thoughtful lyrics. Someone once said writing lyrics for a song is like writing a poem. Maybe it's true. Sounds true. Let me bring you the lyrics of 3 songs i felt possess quite meaningful lyrics. Apologies in advance. For those who can read and understand chinese only. Sorry as the majority of songs i listen to are chinese songs. Here they are:

1. 你好不好 -- 张惠妹

你什么都没说 只是牵着我的手
那一秒钟 也胜过一句爱我
你手中的温柔 还在我心里逗留
爱情却已变成停格的镜头 感觉少了些什么

你好不好 当你开口对我这么说
我就懂了你做的选择
爱若让你变得不快乐
我宁愿还给你自由
也许我应该保持沉默
留给彼此一个再见的理由
但在你转身后 眼泪却不停流

我并不是懦弱 害怕面对独自生活
只是你的影子总跟着我走 让我的心不自由
我想我已学会了 和寂寞做朋友
只是我想起你 居然有一道伤口 隐隐作痛

2. 痴心绝对 -- 李圣杰

想用一杯Latte把你灌醉
好让你能多爱我一点
暗恋的滋味 你不懂这种感觉
早有人陪的你永远不会

看见你和他在我面前
证明我的爱只是愚昧
你不懂我的 那些憔悴
是你永远不曾过的体会

为你付出那种伤心你永远不了解
我又何苦勉强自己爱上你的一切
你又狠狠逼退 我的防备
静静关上门来默数我的泪
明知道让你离开他的世界不可能会
我还傻傻等到奇迹出现的那一天
直到那一天 你会发现
真正爱你的人独自守着伤悲

曾经我以为我自己会后悔
不想爱的太多痴心绝对
为你落第一滴泪 为你做任何改变
也唤不回你对我的坚决

3. 影子 -- 李玖哲 Nicky

我们　曾爱的疯狂　为追求感觉　就拚命去闯　oh yeah
我们　才太过健忘　来不及珍惜　徒增了悲伤　oh yeah
( 我们　曾后悔失望　争执的藉口　太冠冕堂皇　oh yeah )
( 我们　曾遍体临伤　失去了交集　也失去方向　oh yeah )
是谁　习惯了对方　才让平淡　推翻了过往
从今路不再一样　未来不再能分享　曾给的承诺　却还在心上

若你面向下个夕阳　迎接幸福光芒　我当影子慢慢拉长　oh
如果你累或孤单需要力量　oh　回过头我永远　会在身旁
( 前方的你永远　在我心上 )

不用再害怕　因我们踏着　相同的步伐
我选择这样去守护跟随　陪伴你流浪
我的爱捧着你　往自由　去飞翔

What do you think?? I find them quite meaningful. Don't know about you. Three of my favourite songs. At least the three that came to mind. There are more songs of course but time and space limitations so this should be enough. Very meaningful right. Like telling / writing a story like that. I like. And in case you are wondering... yes i prefer sad and sentimental songs to those heavy electronic metal dance hits any time thank you very much. Listen in if you have the time. Back to my songs....

Remember... 神其实也是人， 只是他可以做一些普通人做不到的事， 所以他就变成神。

let's drift

Just caught Initial D at JP earlier. Went in with mixed reviews. Some said it was good. Some said it was ok. Some said it was not that good. I thought it was quite good. Went in feeling quite tired but at least didn't fall asleep during the show and came out feeling quite fresh still. So it must be not bad right?! I'll not comment on the acting. The plot and story is well documented for those avid followers of the comics or anime or for anyone who have heard of it (mostly guys maybe). One friend commented the girl is quite ugly. No comments. Another commented that a girl might not like this show as it's mostly about racing and the adredeline pumping. Maybe not. Think a lot of girls will catch the show because of their eye candies and idols. Think that's why the show "drifted" its way to the top of the movies chart immediately after it's release. Catch it if you have the time then. Not bad lah i think.

Barely after making my way home and a bath, was out again for a ride and (supposedly) supper session with friends and just made my way home again. The perks of having a car maybe. Kept asking my friend to show me a drift but to no avail. Haha. Joking lah ok. Didn't eat. Didn't drink. Just talk. Not bad. Long time never met up with them already. Everyone has their own exciting life to lead. Was about time to catch up on how each other is doing. Went west coast park. The sea portion was fenced off for reclaimation or so my friend says. But the breeze was still good. Think my biological clock has really been turned on its head. Still feel very awake this late (or should i say this early). Thanks for asking me out even though you all have work early in the morning.


If you cannot give it up, then you got to fight for it, or you will only live in regret for the rest of your life.

True. But how to fight now?? If you know what i mean. Can someone enlighten me?? Jokes another day.
