Hurdle

I'm fighting for so hard, balancing myself everyday not to trip and fall.
Not knowing one day, I may not be able to get up and walk that same road again.
Not wanting to face the crossroad.
Till now, my greatest challenge is to wake up everyday and not to think of ***.

感言

忐忑不安的心,
就像是一只风筝,
在空中盘旋,浮沉。

这次,
拉着线头的人竟然是自己,
拉扯收放间,
忽高忽低的,
心情跟着手势一上一下。

挣扎过,却一直无法洒脱地将手中线松开。。。。。。
而又一次的,不知不觉。。。沉浮于平静又激烈的世界中。

Song Recommendation of the Month (3): October 2010

Title: 반지 / Banji (Ring)
Artiste: Tiffany (SNSD)

This is one of the tunes on the soundtrack of Haru: An Unforgettable Day in Korea, a web drama that promotes Korean’s tourism (www.haru2010.com). Part 1 of the OST is performed by SuJu with Angel, also an impressive number but I shall be biased towards the girl this time haha. A pretty calm soothing song for the night and it really features the beautiful vocals of Tiffany. A lot of times I personally felt that most SNSD’s songs don’t do their voices justice and they do need solo songs like this to showcase each of their abilities and range. Realized that Taeyeon, Tiffany and Jessica possess very distinct voices. Jessica has a higher pitched voice, compared to Taeyeon but Tiff has the most pleasant voice to listen too. Just one thing, hmm, she needs to work on her voice control and range. Nevertheless, they still have the lovely vocals in their own ways.

Btw, I give this song 3.9 out of 5 leaves....

J*****s

Saw something today that I didn't want to see.
Something which I was already used to it, but then it seems different today.
Maybe because I was physically around, hence I tend to feel a little uneasy.
But I had already told myself to get over it,
so...its just me, my problem.
Just ranting....

Felt so lost in the ocean,
searching for a small island which my feel will stand firm again.
Frustrated.
Afraid of receiving those 'Thanks" again.
Just needed that precious 5 mins.
But I can never get it and worst still, I never get to figure out why.

Oct month

Its pretty late and I am just getting the music list ready for next wk.
Shall rehearse a bit for recital later before snoozing.
Today I did something at boccia which I never did before and am really contented at the amt of effort that I put in :) Plus, I got to know more abt Tess and MZ which is good because they have really practical work experience and advice for me.

This month is full of birthdays, esp for those I know. 13-15-17-19. Every 2 consecutive days, I know of a person who is celebrating his/her birthday. Amazing.

CJ is on OMG, so all the dance instructors will be the challenger next wed. Korean hiphop.
They need people to vote! and people to go and fill up the seats haha.

My this new pair of transitional specs has a pretty short lifespan. I predict its gonna die soon :(
I can't even take good care of my specs. Shall not spend too much on this next time.
Lesson learnt!

On a side note, have been feeling rather empty these 2 days. There is an issue stucked on my mind, yet I can't solve it and can't ask my friends for help. Sometimes its frustrating to be caught in a tricky situation. The best way is to sit down and think deep, weigh the pros and cons before deciding the next step. Whatever the decision is, there should never be a time to regret.

好歌推荐 (2): 2010 年 10 月

推荐歌曲:天亮了
作词人:刘中怡
作曲人:许羚

Attended the NTU Music Express Finals 《飞跃时空》 on 12 Sep. It ended really late but I left the auditorium at 10 after voting for this song which I thought was a tune that could reflect what many of us are thinking in a certain part of our life. It’s actually a sad ballad, depicting a very beautiful scenery when we are enjoying our best time of our life with our friends or loved ones. But when you are alone, you feel that you are living in a dark world even though it’s beautiful out there.

The song composer is a local and the lyricist is from Taiwan. Its funnie because they discuss everything over MSN and put the whole song together. Incredible! Recommending the winning song (out of 10) in the competition….I personally think this is the best lyrics I have heard for many years.

歌词
Verse 1
早晨再也没有面包香味
我练习着习惯了黑咖啡
无糖 漆黑 如回忆潮水

Verse 2
窗外这个刚醒来的世界
怎么看都像是透明碎片
完整 无缺 却失去了一切

Pre-Chorus
晕点缀着破晓天边
我装饰了空荡的房间
爱能有多完美
美到操控着整个宇宙常轨
隔着眼泪观察蓝天
假装你不曾东升西退
忘了还有 (个)谁 守在黑夜

Chorus
你说的我都记得 然后呢
天亮了
曾经的快乐渐渐在失联
只剩思念与我肩靠着肩

天亮时分最美的 不适合
给一个人 (只给我一个人)
或许你从没真正地走远
只是换了新的身份出现
静静肆虐

Dream

It is an alternate universe and is usually more favourable than reality.
We always hope to bridge that gap between what’s made up and what’s real.
So what happens what it comes true?
Sometimes dreams should stay as dreams.
Because when dreams become reality,
they may not turn out as pretty as you expected it to be.

So what happens next?
Do we dream up a new one?
Or do we stop dreaming?

Night's still young

Its abt 4am, I have been tosing on my bed for 1 hr already. Totally gave up!
and 1 hr ago, I told KL to drink some milk to enter la la land earlier.
I did the same thing too, but I am still awake.
Mixed feelings, it seems a couple of things are bugging me and its pretty serious.
Currently blogging in the dark. (Scared my parents will check on me lol)

Have you ever asked yourself...
When was the last time u were truly happy?
Surprisingly, I can't answer this for myself, mainly because this year hasnt been running well and its now down to 3 months left. "Truly happy" is totally different from "happy". "Happy" to me is just a facial expression you display to others. Nobody, except you, really knows what your thoughts are. You can be happy for things that happened, for good deeds that you have done for your loved ones/friends, but deep under, are you really having the similar feeling?

I have a sense of satisfaction when I go the extra mile for others and I really appreciate that my sincere thoughts are being reciprocated. Just like preparing extra worksheet practices for tutees, buying a small simple bday gift for a physically disabled friend that you just knew recently, helping with the housework chores....all these are small events in my life that sometimes could be unimportant to you, but the satisfaction generated can do so much as displaying a smile on my face.

Sometimes I know I am doing things that do not make me happy, yet I still persist on.
Its that thing in your mind that keeps you going even tho your contribution is going to be meaningless and you wun get anything good out of it.
Oh wells, its no wonder some people are saying that sometimes I am really stupid.

Feeling a bit better now...

Tmrw is going to be another busy day but I am used to it.
........because I cannot fall at this moment, if not I will regret for life.
Realized that time passes really fast these few days and I just can't seem to get work done.
Is my clock working well????

Song Recommendation of the Month: October 2010

Title: Just The Way You Are
Artiste: Bruno Mars
Album: Doo-Wops & Hooligans

Just when I thought there isn’t any love ballad that could represent 2010…..it finally came!

A song all about appreciating the uniqueness in one's love interest and not expecting or wanting to see any changes. Accepting everything about the girl u adore, forgetting all her weaknesses, just thinking about the way she makes u happy, how you are satisfied with her, just the way she is. This super-sweet and innocent single may be filled with some cheese but the overall polish is pretty remarkable. Oh well, this song does not even have to be about relationships, it could even be about family or friends. A simple message that this song is trying to convey: Be natural. Sometimes its simplicity that makes your other half love you even more. Don’t change yourself for others, they should accept you for the person you are.

Nice vocals from Bruno Mars, whose album was just released and I am like addicted to it right now haha. It was money well spent! I think if you are into love ballads or some country flavour, make this your early Christmas gift to yourself. He has a super-smooth voice and his pipes show through in this songs as well, complimenting the flowing musical beats. The end results are tunes you can't help but sing along to.

A few words from the lyrics that I really like:

Oh you know, you know, you know
I’d never ask you to change
If perfect is what you’re searching for
Then just stay the same

Knocking off B.o.B’s “Magic”, this song leaps two notches up to claim the current top song in Singapore this week!

Btw, I give this song 4.5 out of 5 leaves....

Life goes on

Having a test later. *Nervous and excited* But no matter what happens, it is all for a reason. I am taking it easy this year. Consequences are not always negative and it is best if we always look on the bright sunny side. In life, sometimes we tend to be on the practical side, hence we tend to overlook some of the important details.

Just signed up for passion walk at the end of this month. Looks like I finally have a chance to land myself at the floating platform this time. Hopefully the weather is cooling enough at night. I am starting off with a little walk, progressing to marathon run probably in the near future. Looking forward to receiving the goodie bag!

6 more weeks to Recital and its because of this that I am still around. One of my dreams to be on the stage and performing for people! Its gonna be tough training and will be taking up the upcoming sundays but I am all for it. oh, and I just realized my teacher jojo is 5 years younger than me, and she won a car in a kpop dance competition when she was 18. Impressed!

Looked very tired recently, probably due to the increased freq in tuition sessions. I am trying to make myself happy while teaching, but sometimes its just too frustrating to know that your personal efforts usually go down the drains. Nevertheless, what I do is get a long term result. Hopefully everything will fall onto the right places.

LOL, the muttons just released their own cd! Called The Muttons Show: What The Bleah!, the album is a compilation of modern hits, and some wacky repartee by the two DJs in between. It is probably the only radio show that I am listening to nowades, 4 - 8pm, weekdays, 987fm.

Found an all-time funny phone conversation they had with a auntie buffet caterer, also part of the album.

=D
