The Heart

Someone asked me,"How do you know you have made the right decision?"

i smiled, and replied,"Listen to your heart, follow whatever it tells you, and nobody can fault you for that. Oh, and those niggling protests coming from your brain? Screw it. Aren't worth thinking about. Regrets come about when you DON'T follow your heart. Don't overthink, follow your instinct, and you won't go too far wrong."

quotable quotes: everything that happens, happens for a reason. while it might not be apparent to you now, have a little faith, have a little patience, and you will soon understand the path that is laid out in front of you.

彩虹天堂---刘畊宏

作词/曲：刘畊宏

我不知不觉
又徘徊在从前
秋风悄悄的呼唤
听来尽是孤单
落叶的期盼
片片左右爲难
心走寂寞攀
跟着飘进灰暗

我不闻不问
也许好过一点
被遗憾关在房间
挣扎只是拖延
无望的空谈
一声声的轻叹
回忆扯不断
怎麽摆脱纠缠

找不到方向
挂彩虹天堂
有你说的爱
在用幸福触摸忧伤
两个人 相守直到白发苍苍
自由的飞翔在灿烂的星光

找不到方向
挂彩虹天堂
有你说的爱
在用幸福触摸忧伤
两个人 相守直到白发苍苍
自由的飞翔在灿烂的星光
有你在我身旁

找不到方向
挂彩虹天堂
有你说的爱
在用幸福触摸忧伤
两个人 相守直到白发苍苍
自由的飞翔在灿烂的星光

找不到方向
挂彩虹天堂
有你说的爱
在用幸福触摸忧伤
两个人 相守直到白发苍苍
自由的飞翔在灿烂的星光
有你在我身旁...

this song is part 2 to jay's 楓...the music videos for both songs are directed by jay himself...and the story behind the songs is omg sad. the first time in pop music history that 2 different songs by 2 different singers share the same music video=)

For the Lost and Troubled souls...

In my earlier posts:

the true test of friendship comes under pressure...if we can withstand this, we will probably be the best of friends till the End of it all...

and we have =)


It seems as though everyone is troubled recently...Like a hoard of Dementors has descended upon us =X.

Problems are fine. just as long as it doesn't destroy you, it only serves to make you stronger. Perpetuating the problem is another thing altogether though. if you know that it's a problem, isn't it wiser to nip it in the bud instead of letting it get out of hand? Ignoring it really isn't going to help especially if you know it ain't gonna go away by itself.

And the reverse is true. Anticipating problems and attempting to solve them now isn't gonna help either, because 1) they haven't happened yet and, 2) you can't do much about it now anyway so why waste all the brain cells thinking bout them now?

The future is meaningless if we fail to grasp the present. whatever happens, take it one step at a time. leave tomorrow's worries for tomorrow, and you'll find yourself more cheerful and upbeat.

it worked for me, and hope it does for everyone=)

爱笑的眼睛---徐若瑄

作词：瑞业 作曲：林俊杰

如果不是 那镜子 不像你 不藏秘密
我还不肯相信 没有你
我的笑 更美丽
那天听你在电话里
略带抱歉的关心
我嘟的一声
切得比你说分手 彻底

泪湿的衣 洗干净 阳光里 晒干回忆
折好了伤心 明天起 只和快乐出去
这爱的城市虽然拥挤
如果真的遇见你
你不必讶异 我的笑
她无法代替

离开你
我才发现自己
那爱笑的眼睛
流过泪 像躲不过的暴风雨
淋湿的昨天 删去

离开你
我才找回自己
那爱笑的眼睛
再见爱情 我一定让自己
让自己决定

泪湿的衣 洗干净 阳光里 晒干回忆
折好了伤心 明天起 只和快乐出去
这爱的城市虽然拥挤
如果真的遇见你
你不必讶异
我的笑 她无法代替

离开你
我才发现自己
那爱笑的眼睛
流了泪 当一个人看旧电影
是我不小心而已

离开你
我才找回自己
那爱笑的眼睛
再见到你 我一定让自己
让自己坚定

离开你
我才发现自己
那爱笑的眼睛
流过泪 像躲不过的暴风雨
淋湿的昨天忘记

离开你
我才找回自己
那爱笑的眼睛
再见爱情 我一定让自己
让自己坚定

再见到你
我一定让自己
假装很坚定...

vocals arent very impressive for this song...but no matter...coz the tune's written by jj lin and it's nice=)

common sense not so common...

MOE should consider adding the subject 'Common Sense' into the primary/secondary/JC/poly syllabus...a lot of singaporeans SERIOUSLY need it...oh my god...i was this close to tearing my hair out over a random tp who din have enuff common sense to press the "add to shopping cart" button at the EVL page, and told me loudly,"THE 'NEXT' BUTTON AT THE BOTTOM DOESN'T WORK!HOW HOW HOW???"

omfg!

i'm losing faith in singaporeans.

and so you know wat sort of day i had in office=P...terrible...grr...alex's msg gives me hope that i can escape from the crazy hellhole known as PTD soon...okay i ain't referring to the people there(maybe except 4221), but the people that we deal with is simply zzz...=(

going for my 1st driving lesson tomorrow!nervous but looking forward to it...=)

R ealistic
E nlightenment
H appiness
A bility to forget
B ravery to accept...

i think my rehab is complete...and i think i have earned the right to re-live my life once again...in the end, it doesn't even matter anymore =)

到不了---范玮琪/康康

词：范玮琪　曲：张洪量

你眼睛会笑
弯成一条桥
终点却是我
永远到不了

感觉你来到
是风的呼啸
思念像苦药
竟如此难熬
每分每秒

我找不到
我到不了
你所谓的
将来的美好
我什么都不要
知不知道
若你懂我
这一秒

我想看到
我在寻找
那所谓的
爱情的美好
我紧紧的依靠
紧紧守牢
不敢漏掉
一丝一毫
愿你看到

can't reach =X

heard 范玮琪/康康's version before...but the most impressive version was the way 林宥嘉 brought this song across...very simple and repeitive lyrics, but it strikes a chord with me...

does it with you?=)

Religion isn't flawless...because mankind isn't flawless...

random boring working day today...again, the calls weren't hard, just monotonous and repetitive=X...zzz...

went to watch angels & demons wif buddy, sis and mf after work...i thought it was quite good actually!to most of the ardent fans of dan brown(like sis=P), probably the movie doesn't bring out all that he has written in the novel...and so u may feel that the movie is lacking something...but i think it has captured the gist of the book and developed on it as well...so...A+ for the good effort=D

为你我受冷风吹---林忆莲

为你我受冷风吹
寂寞时候流眼泪
有人问我是与非
说是与非
可是谁又真的关心谁

若是爱已不可为
你明白说吧无所谓
不必给我安慰
何必怕我伤悲
就当我从此收起真情
谁也不给

我会试着放下往事
管它过去有多美
也会试着不去想起
你如何用爱将我包围
那深情的滋味

但愿我会就此放下往事
忘了过去有多美
不盼缘尽仍留慈悲
虽然我曾经这样以为
我真的这样以为

为你我受冷风吹
寂寞时候流眼泪
有人问我是与非
说是与非
可是谁又真的关心谁

若是爱已不可为
你明白说吧无所谓
不必给我安慰
何必怕我伤悲
就当我从此收起真情
谁也不给

我会试着放下往事
管它过去有多美
也会试着不去想起
你如何用爱将我包围
那深情的滋味

但愿我会就此放下往事
忘了过去有多美
不盼缘尽仍留慈悲
虽然我曾经这样以为
我真的这样以为

为你我受冷风吹
寂寞时候流眼泪
有人问我是与非
说是与非
可是谁又真的关心谁

关心谁
会关心谁
谁会关心谁?

i like this song!first noticed it on xing guang da dao and super idol...liang wen yin sang this before...to great acclaim!highly recommended=)

2 down, 1 to go...

as i was leaving the comp exam room at ubi driving centre, the invigilator looked at my comp screen, smirked, and told me, "2 down, 1 more to go!"

just the practical test left then=)

洋葱---杨宗纬

作词／作曲：阿信(五月天)

如果你眼神能够为我
片刻的降临
如果你能听到
心碎的声音

沉默的守护著你
沉默的等奇迹
沉默的让自己像是空气

大家都吃著聊著笑著
今晚多开心
最角落里的我
笑得多合群

盘底的洋葱像我
永远是调味品
偷偷的看著你
偷偷的隐藏著自己

如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心
你会发现
你会讶异
你是我最压抑最深处的秘密

如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心
你会鼻酸
你会流泪
只要你能听到我看到我的全心全意

听你说你和你的他们
暧昧的空气
我和我的绝望
装得很风趣
我就样一颗洋葱
永远是配角戏

多希望能与你有一秒专属的剧情...

如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心
你会发现
你会讶异
你是我最压抑最深处的秘密

如果你愿意一层一层一层的剥开我的心
你会鼻酸
你会流泪
只要你能听到我看到我的全心全意

i'm not an aska yang fanatic...in fact, i don't really like his singing...abit too 悲伤...but i can hear the emotion he puts into every word of his songs...including those covers that he does of other singers' songs...his rendition of 雨天 during the competition was nearly flawless=)

洋葱is actually his own song...written wholly by ah xin of mayday(again!fantastic songwriter!=D) apparently aska told ah xin a true story about himself and gave him the inspiration to write this song and the lyrics...so in a way, it's a personal experience and a real life story...and i like the way aska brings across the meaning of the song...melancholic and regretful...and yet accepting things as it is...the spirit of 认命不认输...

herein lies a new beginning, a fresh start, and a closet of skeletons

i realise i blog less when i have lesser things to think about and lesser random stuff to ponder about...so that's good! right?=X

had spammed calls today...hit a very-long-not-seen 80 plus calls...actually i prefer more calls...at least that means don't need to go home EARLY and earn LESS...think i need to start saving for my driving lessons...considering my ftt's tomorrow...zzz...better pass in one try...or else.......=X

1.5 more months before resignation...soon soon...the end is near...debating whether or not going for orientation...if i'm bored enuff...i might...LOL=P...but i think i prolly will go for 1-2 days?then pon the rest...

this song's in 李圣杰's very first album...and i like it better than his 2 more well-known songs=X...just feel this song...sung with more sincerity and honesty...haha...

远走高飞---李圣杰

爱你错了吗
为什么会受到这么多惩罚
他们说的话像针往心里扎

我心中的怕
不知该怎么做才可以放下
只不过想好好的爱一次啊

带我远走高飞
不去理会
这一个蜚短流长的世界
布满虚伪
是你让我选择沉醉
繁星守侯月不能睡
只因为爱上了夜的黑

带我远走高飞
一起去追
有一个叫做幸福的世界
没有泪水
我已经感觉到疲累
只想在你怀抱入睡
不在乎别人眼中是非

重新再出发
能不能让这天地不再吵杂
我的心里面安静得不像话
故事的真假
没有多余的力气去分辨他
只不过想好好的爱一次啊

带我远走高飞
不去理会
这一个蜚短流长的世界
布满虚伪
是你让我选择沉醉
繁星守侯月不能睡
只因为爱上了夜的黑

带我远走高飞
一起去追
有一个叫做幸福的世界
没有泪水
我已经感觉到疲累
只想在你怀抱入睡
不在乎别人眼中是非...

to 远走高飞...such a tempting thought...to escape from everything...that's the life=)

sumthing interesting=)

went out wif s21 peeps yest...hilarious outing...word of warning to anyone going fish n co dhoby glasshouse on a sat nite...expect to hear rascous screaming /laughing/wat-not and not-so-excellent service...

and things came to a boil when the soup of the day for JC's meal was cream of mushroom, instead of fish chowder that was earlier told by the waitress...considering he's almost ALLERGIC to mushroom, the waitress made one heck of a big mistake. any other customer may be able to tahan the soup change, but certainly not him. and there were a few sarcastic remarks made on the customer service form that we filled up =P...

an interesting topic was brought up during the dinner. lyn was saying why guys just take bad service as they come, while most girls can't really take it and will give the manager/waitress a piece of her mind? reasons given: becoz to guys, "the food will come eventually, so why bother?" or "they're probably very busy, so don't disturb them further?"

which is very true!

i think probably guys are just afraid of trouble and shun away from such stuff...but we can't/shouldn't cordone BAD service(like the one yest!).. if there's one thing i learnt at iras, it's how customer service ppl should react when the customer/tp make uber unreasonable requests and we STILL try to accede to their requests. so heck, they are supposed to do all the hard work considering we pay them for it...(trying my utmost not to sound like a difficult customer=P)

like sister said, i think i learnt quite a bit of stuff(info/knowledge/etiquette/how to deal with complete dirtbags like *eng *eng *eng, how to speak confidently etc etc) while at iras. while i keep complaining about what a sucky environment it is, getting scolded and all, but hey, isn't all these simply a learning experience?

anyway, this song is from mayday's latest album... din find it fantastic at first, but it grows on you..was reminded of the existence of this song when i went back hark to see the HPT perform=)

突然好想你---五月天

作词：阿信 作曲：阿信

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

想念如果会有声音
不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今终於让自已属於我自已
只剩眼泪还骗不过自己

突然好想你
你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈

突然好想你
突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

我们像一首最美丽的歌曲
变成两部悲伤的电影
为什麽你带我走过最难忘的旅行
然後留下最痛的纪念品

我们
那麽甜 那麽美 那麽相信
那麽疯 那麽热烈 的曾经
为何我们 还是要奔向各自的幸福和遗憾中老去

突然好想你
你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈

突然好想你
突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息

最怕此生已经决定自己过没有你
却又突然听到你的消息...

阿信is a very gifted songwriter...these lyrics are...omg pro...=) speaks of nostalgia and reeks of emo-ness, but a good song nonetheless=)
