星洲之夜歌词

January 4, 2012 at 8:37 pm (Love, Music)

挺喜欢这首歌的歌词。不愧是 陈佳作的词:

随夜空繁星不停闪呀闪
这海市蜃楼轻轻晃了晃
莫非是谁的歌又醉了夜晚
思念是如此嘹亮

请晚风带我心愿荡呀荡
让它飘渡岁月的无情浪
离合与悲欢 几时换场
我只能痴痴地盼

盼能人海茫茫
比翼着飞翔
能不能到地久天长
为何月躲藏 为何云消散
为何 天镶满千万颗钻

星空多灿烂 往事多回肠
只等一幕 地老天荒
若永恒太长 借一瞬时光
让我俩 再相逢
就算相拥是一场 幻梦

心还暖 夜未央
晚风再上演一幕圆满

In a bit of a melancholy mood. Think it’s the mixture of the medicine and my innate romantic nature (which I constantly hide)…

张靓颖《画心》

  作曲:藤原育郎

  作词:陈少琪

  看不穿 是你失落的魂魄

  猜不透 是你瞳孔的颜色

  一阵风 一场梦 爱如(是)生命般(的)莫测

  你的心 到底被什么蛊惑

  你的轮廓在黑夜之中淹没

  看桃花 开出怎样的结果

  看着你抱着我 目光似(比)月色寂寞

  就让你 在别人怀里快乐

  爱着你 像心跳难触摸

  画着你 画不出你的骨骼

  记着你的脸色 是我等你的执着

  你是我 一首唱不完的歌 (我的心 只愿为你而割舍)

Goodbye Hello

July 28, 2011 at 10:38 pm (Uncategorized)

Nearing the end of my 2 year studies at NTU. A stretched-out last leg for me (various stages of thesis submission to go!)

I did quite enjoy my time doing my masters (I honestly did miss seeing my monthly income get giro-ed into my bank account though!). The people I met were good people- generally nice and unassuming. It’s terribly geeky for me to admit this but I did enjoy the classes I took. Philosophy was a little less daunting than I thought (at least I now sorta know what kind of ontological orientation I am inclined towards and I can quite happily tell people the story of how candle wax inspired the famous “Cogito Ergo Sum”). I do hope I can stay in touch with the wonderful people I’ve met though. School does help reinstate your faith in people sometime after you become sardonic (thanks to interactions with certain people).

Time soon to embark on another part of my life journey- work. In all honestly, some parts of it excite me, some parts make me nervous and some parts of it I think I may dread (for some reason, I seem to have blocked out all the unpleasant things about work except for doing OT. hee).

Deployment interviews are over and it’s just time to wait to see where fate (or rather the central agency) decides to send me to. The choices I finally put down all offer somewhat different things (or at least from my perspective) and I think there are different things to learn and take way from each one of them. People have been offering all sorts of advice which made me rather confused as I was contemplating which organisations to consider and to express interest in. I’d like to think each of the choices I’ve indicated in the end offer something different and I guess no matter where I end up, I will always learn something (I guess even if I end up in a terrible portfolio with a horrible management, I learn how not to engage in horrible management in the future!). I have an inkling which organisation has expressed the strongest interest in me and that I’m most likely to end up there, so I’m kind of mentally prepared.

I just read in the papers’ commentary section that apparently some people have called the recent disasters such as the ones that Japan and Myanmmar are undergoing an act of divine punishment and that people should either repent or risk further punishment or covert to whatever religion/belief that the critic personally subscribes to or risk being “cleansed” (the images that are constantly evoked are those of people who get washed away in huge floods).

I’m not going to go and say that I can speak for a divine being and say this is some sort of punishment upon the ‘foul foul humans/miscreants”. Personally I would like to think instead of it being a punishment, these tragedies bring to light certain good in human. We see how people from all over the world rallied to try to help Japan, New Zealand or some other country that has fallen upon hard times because of these disasters. We see how seemingly ordinary workers at Fukushima willingly and stoically decide to sacrifice their lives in a desperate bid to save the lives of others and minimise damages from nuclear fallout. Volunteers and rescue workers are heading in to these dangerous zones to try to save as many people as possible. Those without expertise try to help in whatever little ways that they can, be it through monetary means or simply saying a prayer for the victims of these disasters.

As far away as we are, I’m sure many of us share in a way the sorrow of the people. Our hearts ache and our eyes get teary when we hear about how people are risking their lives to save others or read about the acts of heroism performed at these sites. Such reactions remind us that instinctively, we care and we feel for other humans whether or not we speak the same language, share the same culture or even the same skin colour.

This would so be my anthem. The irony being I can’t sing for nuts!

Things MJ are famous for

February 16, 2011 at 9:07 pm (Family, random moments)

I really like this mashup

And so, I got my mum to listen to it (yes, I make her listen to mashups and tunes that I like) and was explaining how this is a mashup of MJ’s Thriller and Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Heads Will Roll. Then I decided to sit her through the Thriller MV since it’s considered an iconic MV that transformed the standard and MV landscape.

As the video was loading, I was explaining that it showcased MJ’s other expertise (other than singing), so the conversation went like this:

Me: Yes, see this video, Thriller, it showcases MJ’s other expertise. I mean other than singing lah.

Mum: You mean turning into a white guy?

Me:… I meant dancing.

So now you know which side of the fmaily I get my snarky side from.

Quotable quotes from people around me

On the shelf-life of men and women-

Friend 1: Women are like flowers and men are like wine

Friend 2: I always thought that women were more like milk actually*

On how to avoid doing redundant work that has been allocated to you

X: Sometimes it pays to do work, which you don’t want to do, badly. Then people will stop giving this to you.
