只愿为你守着约

It seems that i'm still having hangovers from 黄舒骏's concert last friday. I dare to say that i'm one of the youngest audience there cos i've only seen one person who looked younger than me...and apparently she was there to accompany her parents....


只愿为你守着约 唱：王菲 词曲：黄舒骏

我没有感觉除了等你我的心如止水
我痴心守约不愿更改一点点
是甚么世界还有我们这般遥远的苦恋
我甚么不缺只贪有你在身边

许多人在周围我却从未眷恋
再也没人象你给我初见颤动的感觉

我只愿为你守着约
我的心永远那么甜
也许孤单寂寞但心中依然无悔也无怨
我只愿为你守着约我的心从没有走远
不管阴晴圆缺不管时间空间
一生都不会改变
再长的路众然距离遥远
我能穿越

想念着你的笑我忍不住流泪
再也没有人比我了解
那爱得坚决的滋味

It was only until last friday that i knew that this song was written by him. He told us that he had tailored the song specially for 王菲, becos during that time she was in a long distance relationship with 窦唯, after which they got married, had a daughter and divorced (in 1998 if i din remember wrongly). Btw this song was released in 1994 if i din remember wrongly.....After i knew the story, i began to appreciate the song more. She really sang it well :)

未央歌

《未央歌》 词曲唱： 黄舒骏

当大余吻上宝笙的嘴边我总算了了一桩心愿

只是不知道小童的那个秘密是否就是蔺燕梅

在未央歌的催眠声中多少人为他魂萦梦牵

在寂寞苦闷的十七岁经营一点小小的甜美

我的朋友我的同学在不同时候留下同样的眼泪

心中想着朋友和书中人物间究竟是谁比较象谁

那朵校园中的玫瑰是否可能种在我眼前

在平凡无奇的人世间给我一点温柔和喜悦

你知道你在寻找你的蔺燕梅

你知道你在寻找你的童孝贤

你知道你在你知道你在

你知道你在寻找一种永远

经过这几年的岁月我几乎忘了曾有这样的甜美

突然听说小童在台湾的消息我想起从前的一切

为何现在同样的诗篇已无法触动我的心弦

也许那些永恒的女子永远不会出现在我面前

我的弟弟我的妹妹你们又再度流下同样的眼泪

喔 多么美好的感觉告诉我你心爱的人是谁

多么盼望你们又一天真的见到你的蔺燕梅

伍宝笙和童孝贤为我唱完未央的心愿

你知道你在寻找你的蔺燕梅

你知道你在寻找你的童孝贤

你知道你在你知道你在

你知道你在寻找一种永远

你知道你在寻找你的蔺燕梅

你知道你在寻找你的童孝贤

你知道你在你知道你在

你知道你在寻找一种永远

I'm reali glad that my worst days of my undergraduate studies is over at 1630 yesterday. Dats because i gotta study for 4 months work in 1 week as i neva understood wat the module was about during the lectures, and the lecturer remember me as the one who always give him the BLUR FACE during his lectures....Yes, the module is CN4216 - Electronic Material Science, which involve many Physics principles in electronics and i am reali poor at dat. btw Physics was my worst science subject since secondary school. Fortunately, small study groups reali helped alot while studying for the module and my buddy for this module is King. yes, his name is King....someone who can sleep for only 5 hours in 2 days of 48 hours........we kept questioning other concepts that we were both unclear of, and helped each other when in need, and dats wat i value in a team....generous sharing of information....a skill everyone should learn for learning to occur in every individual.

So after the paper, i took the opportunity to unwind my stresses by 沉浸在黄舒骏's music. For the benefit of the youngsters, he's a very famous Taiwanese singer during the late 80s and early 90s. He is extremely talented, and his live performing skills is about 90 marks. The concert began with 未央歌, my favourite song of his. The violin, keyboard, guitar and his singing had reali injected the song with LIFE. Even though i had always loved the song, but it was until today that i got exceptionally touched by his singing and the song that I am not afraid to admit, 我的眼眶都泛了泪光 when he was singing the song. How i wish i can sing live as well as him..wahahaha...

Listen to 未央歌 here. This song was written based on a taiwanese novel (if i'm not mistaken) and the title is 未央歌 so the names in the lyrics are basically the characters of the story. Wanted to borrow the book from the library to read, but i was quite put off when the wordings were in traditional characters....somehow reading trad chinese characters bores me easily.....i dunno the reason...

Goodbye My "Love" <再见我的爱人>

I've finally said GOODBYE to my most "beloved" Design Project today. The deadline for submission was 13th Apr 2006 by 1700hrs. until 1630, we were still running around wanting printing colored pages because of the massive jams at printing rooms since today is the deadline for almost every final year project...and the queue and crowd is inevitable, but unexpectedly 'scary'. rushed to bind the project at 1640, and rushed back to the faculty to submit the report only at ard 1650........sounds like MI......Going to take a break to unwind at the KTV with some of my buddies at 7pm. so juz decided to show our baby, after going thru 4 mths of pregnancy and takes 7 people to give birth to, but I DO NOT NJOY THE PROCESS OF THE LABOR AT ALL. maybe dats y i reali shld not become an engineer.

Now it's the time to look forward to the last examination of my undergraduate career. but i will only start to study tmr.......i will refuse to study 2nite =p

Listen to the POWERFUL 再见我的爱人 by the powerful "POWER STATION"

动力火车
再见我的爱人
词曲:谢铭佑

不过就这么两只脚远的近的所有的船你踏的牢
不过就这么两三秒忽然我的心开了窍你我不要
爱的昏天暗地那些痴言梦语盖住快乐的路标
放弃一座城市眼前忽然出现一条一条光明大道
再见我梦中的明天再见不确定的昨天我全部收回
再见离开我的视线再见关掉这场梦餍再见等于不见
再见你给我的相片再见你勾人的双眼随便你给谁
在爱的一对一的势力范围没有妥协

HR Project

Today had our Human Resource Management module presentation over and done with. Our hard work to do the video, to be creative ad unique have off...the tutor seemed pretty impressed that we took the effort to give a powerpoint presentation together with an 100% original MTV despite the low 5% weightage. Being a newbie to youtube, i shall experiment posting the video here. hope this works. perhaps a kind soul can teach how to paste the embedded player here as well....

this MTV is about how contrasting a person can be treated before and after he contracted AIDS. stigma by his colleagues, superior and the society has caused him to commit suicide...yes..this project is about AIDS at the workplace.

Never eat....

Felt lousy since thurday....was well again on friday, officially fell sick again on since sat till now. Seen a doc and the diagnosis was low grade food poisoning, which explains the symptoms that i felt nauseas but did not vomit nor have fever, poor appetite, stomachache and felt extremely tired cos my body is attempting to fight the bacteria in my intestines (all said by the doc).

The culprit is: sushi.
A valuable lesson learnt is "never eat sushi that has been prepared for more than 6 hrs" even the sushi is made with cooked material, refrigerated, or reheated b4 consumption.

End off by recommending a nice and soothing song by 林宇中 again

<失恋学>
歌手：林宇中 专辑：个人首张专辑
作词:林宇中
作曲:林宇中
编曲:吴庆隆

初恋那个夏天我们学会热恋
要快乐有条件幸称有要诀
后来牵手很累我们学会告别
低估了想念越想越危险越想见

我们忘了学怎么失恋
深夜该怎么不掉眼泪
还不了解爱的情节
一旦下了片不再上演
我们忘了学怎么失恋
移情别恋治不好失眠
偏让那不经意的遇见
却视而不见
我们都掩着哭红了的双眼

listen to this song here

<罪>

this song was written for my Human Resource Management Project. the title is oni managing people with disabilities at the workforce with particular emphasis on AIDS patients. As most of my friends know, i can never sing or write a song in English, cos of the lack of groove and limited vocabulary.......so no choice i unconventionally wrote the song in chinese, but provided the english translation for the lyrics. basically it talks about the stigma and difficulties faced by AIDS patients, and hopefully it can facilitate the script writing process of our project video presentation. It's just a very short song...less than 2 min.


《罪》

I wept alone on lonely nights
寂寞的夜 我独自流泪

Who will ever notice my pathetic state?
凄凉的脸 谁能看得见

It’s my fault to commit an unforgivable offence
我知道是我不对 犯下不可挽回的罪

But who will ever understand my plight?
心理的伤悲谁能体会

Alienated by my friends, misunderstood by my family and society
朋友渐渐地后退 家人和社会的误解

Are they blaming me for my present plight?
难道这就是所谓的责备

My life is tearing apart, but who will ever give me a second chance?
生命渐渐地崩溃 到底还会有谁

给我重新振作的机会

I can live on my life bravely, but without your empathy and understanding
勇敢面对 还需要你谅解

My life will never be fruitful and fulfilling again
开启人生精彩的一页

you can also copy this shortcut and paste its link onto your web broswer if you want to listen to this song because the server does not allow direct hyperlinking. hopefully this works.

CN lectures makes me yawn every min

Power to the max. though the lecture is oni less than 20mins, but it's already enuff to make me yawn countless times until i lost count......and after the lecture, i cried...cos my eyes got teary after all the yawning combos......lol.....can't wait to quickly finish my portion of the project and officially say goodbye to CN4120. so i'm counting down to 13th Apr when the project submission is due.

saw an article on the "Night" papers ---same day as the one on "thefts"
this one is pretty interesting over "names" and it says that in China many people changed their names because their names are so susceptible to RIDICULES. here are some examples:
杨伟---people tend to associate it with 阳萎 (impotence), because the pronunciation is identical
胡丽晶===狐狸精 (vixen)？
高扬===羔羊===coward???
Monica Chen === Mo ni (chinese) Ka Cheng (hokkien) === touch your ass????
殷静===阴茎===dick???

so poor thing...shld their parents be blamed for giving their children such names?????

Juliet Bravo

Was shocked to hear/read outragous stories of "robbery incidents" in Juliet Bravo.

This story was heard from WK. heard that it was being featured on the news.

• Many novel and creative ways of robbery techniques have been developed by the robbers there. the newest, and the most shocking way i heard was that the robber will come to you, gripping you and saying,"the syringe I'm holding now contains HIV. gimme your money or i'll poke you with the needle"

I heard this story from CHui today over msn, when he went there this morning at the "Gentle buddha" customs:

• (officer holding on to CHui's passport) ,"tmr i'll be on leave and i'll be going to SG to buy apples, can I exchange $20 from you? (he gave 20 bucks of his currency in an attempt to exchange $20 of SG currency)." CHui got no choice but to abide.......

Read this article from the "Night" papers (chinese) about theft of SG cars in "Gentle Buddha"

• recorded highest SG cars theft rate (52/70 out of all SG cars stolen in Gentle Buddha motherland) in "Gentle Buddha"
• the fav targets of the thieves in order (if i have translated correctly): 1. Rav4 2. Harrier 3. Unser 4. Lexus RX 5. Honda CRV 6. Mercedes E series
• it juz takes 10 mins to unlock the car using a "multi purpose key", start engine using a screwdriver and drive off the stolen vehicle
• even though nowadays many cars are equipped wif "anti-theft" system (a lousy translation from 防盗系统）it does not deter thefts, cos now some robbers will juz simply stop the vehicle with the passengers and driver, and used guns in the robbery!!

wah it seems that it's so dangerous going there nowadays, but how? i go there almost once every few mths to top up my contact lenses and solution cos it's 100% cheaper than the prices here. well...juz dun drive in and juz gotta be more careful not to look rich and attract attention...lol....if i'm still so suay, then it's fate.

Relac 1 corner

Finally got a chance for a breather.....felt this was reali neccessary because the past few days had indeed been "hell". Though was in sch today still to calculate the cost of my distillation column which worth $ 2 million to construct. night time was relaxing. Went to Mt Faber for a drink wif frenz, of course i did not order Tequilla sunrise which taste like cough syrup. instead i turned to Martini Peach which turned out to be slightly better.



Lucky frenz drove and so we gotta go BEDOK 85 for supper. These r alwiz the standard dishes i will order. of course each of us will get to eat a bowl of the 招牌肉脞面 (famous minced pork noodles; ba chor mee) at $2! yes, if i only haf $2 left, i tink i rather come here for a bowl of ba chor mee and not GOING TO NEWTON TO EAT CHAR KWAY TEOW.....yes 2nite is the event every year mediacorp host and this famous like was said by a pretty lady (in my opinion) who disappointed me utterly wif her ans.....after 1 yr still can remember, and you can imagine how much impact this ans had on me..:s. Some of u might heard the joke from me.

Fried Oyster (耗煎）
Fried Prawn Fritters （五香虾饼）
BBQ chicken wing

Famous Bedok 85 Bar chor mee


carrot cake (菜头果)

and i was given the offer and opportunity to drive CHui's car from Bedok back home. though the journey was oni less than 1 hr, but the kindness was greatly appreciated. I haf to say that it takes alot of trust and courage for someone to entrust something worth more than $40000 and 4 lives to me for dat 1 hr......esp for a noob in driving like me...lol. and i reali appreciate them for not shouting at me when i made mistakes, holding on to the side handles or hand brake while i drove.

Enough of cynical thoughts and i shall end off with a nice song by 李心洁。 bought her album back in 2001 and this was the last song of the cd.

改变---李心洁

曲\词:仓雁彬 编曲:李欣芸

很多年前那个夏天

那些夜晚 我守著音乐彻夜不眠

有你生命太短 思念整夜不安

一种幻觉会反覆重演

**恍然己在多年以后 他要远走

我挥一挥手默默等候

纵然太久时间 不怕事过境迁

越过多年的一句再见

到后来 我曾坚强的深爱

没和我等到 终于他回来

也许是爱情不能承受无奈

而现在 我曾等待的男孩

没和我分在 世界的两端

为什么 可以不再思念

可以视而不见

（重复**）

那个夏天 是个梦己走远

Listen to this song

Always felt so comfortable listening to this song, esp the break at the middle with the strings and piano. i would have to say that melodies with harmonica and violin tend to attract my attention and liking. enuff of the "relac 1 corner" and getting geared up for the final lap of my undergraduate studies as i foresee from tmr onwards, i will be faced by the most challenging moments, on top of the exams, thoughout my entire 4 years in WCU.
