For you I was a flame.

i'm supposed to blog about how Reposicion 2007 went. but it's all a bit blurry even till now. i didnt have as big a hangover as last yr. i still feel like a big part of me is gone. and i think i could have done better. i didnt achieve what i set out to do. i still need to do some soul-seaching. which is really a pity cos the timing is a lil late now. all i can think of was the Justin song in the previous entry, which in a way summarised part of what was in my head.

i have 4 weeks' worth of Everwood/Veronica Mars/Gilmore Girls video tape lyin in front of the video, what i like to call my Sunday Gold Rush. my Sunday prime time is from 4pm - 7pm. it could have been 5 weeks but i ran out of video tape last week, so sadly i missed it. i haven been watchin tv for a long time. I only caught 3 episodes of The Amazing Race so far, i didnt know Survivor China is alrdy over till i saw the reunion show. I didnt watch the Pussycat dolls show even though i wanted to before it aired. and the scary thing is, I AM FINE WITH IT!?

until just now. when i caught one episode of EVERWOOD on tape. it was kinda weird sitting on the couch cos i haven do that for so long. i've been sitting in front of the computer for so long. so watchin tv feels different like u need to really pay attention. i begin to miss watchin tv and tt sense of comfort, and regret all that i've missed. Everwood is one of those shows that are highly quotable. each episode makes me simultaneously grounded, appreciative, humble, and feel loved in 1 hour. which is more than i can say for what's on tv now. and at that point, i fell in love with it all over again.

ya. i am havin mixed feelings. i love EVERWOOD.

赶赶不上搭夜航机
结尾呆望跑道上沙粒转眼扬起
到半夜遇到风雪失事了
沉没了证实机长都已死
假使那夜及时赶到了
也许漂流在孤岛等了年几
先清楚自己这么有运气
能在海关感叹世事没完美
当好景不再我们来听听
你到底出声打气
还是只懂得怨命
我相信际遇如一面镜
用笑代替哭声
霉运才能拨正 oh
一息间充满困难
何必惊跌进海惊险之际
前面有某座潜艇
沿路定有奖等认领
情愿坐着怨几声
还是努力搏取拍掌声
怎么叫运视乎你心理
捱尽黑夜便可看得到晨曦
极运滞日子都不要忘记
还在呼吸心跳我未被遗弃
霉运才能拨正
撑到底奋斗心不死
渡过低潮我先见到热潮
成熟了明白了
才悟到了命途的奥妙
这刻充满困难
结果不得要领
我都可给我喝采声

8 days

no, i am not doin a good job.
things are spinning so fast now tt it is hard for me to catch up.
though i know that things will turn out fine eventually, but i don't want it to be just fine.i want to be the best tt is yet to be. but with 8days left, it feels like there's no time for damage control anymore.

these few days i have been working with the kids. it made me realise tt the reason why i am doin this again is not because i want to rekindle/start off any feelings or bond with my committee. now i want to do it for them. although i know at the back of my head tt it's one of my objective, but now i truely feel the desire to make this more about them instead of us. those tt i've worked with made me realise that there's so much hidden potential in youths. that they still have the energy to dream big and hopefully live it because the future is a black canvas waiting to be written. to have and be that, is probably one of the things i miss most about my sec sch life. and the scary part is, how some of them have so much potential, yet they do not know that they are capable of achieving them.

i guess that's where teachers come in. and tt's why i've always wanted to be a sec sch teacher. these few days i was awed and impressed at what 16 yr olds can do. their friendship. their determination. and their drive. rather than them learning from me, i feel like i have alot to learn from them.

23 Dec. i cant wait. yet i dun wan it to happen as well. i cant say tt i've enjoyed every step along the way (and i know that i will be left empty after that), but given another chance i would do it again in a heartbeat.

but nothing lasts forever. we all sld know tt. i need to pursue my long-hidden dreams as well.

Golden Horse Award 07

第44屆金馬獎《莫文蔚 ＆ 古巨基》‧《愛，別巨風蔚》

古巨基 is one of my fav singers in the world. his albums and singing just keep gettin better. like wine. and he took the elixir of life also man. anti-aging.
and Karen Mok is one of the most under-rated singers. so stylised and unique. she sld be more famous than alot of the jumpers out there.


Jam Xiao蕭敬騰 Golden Horse Award 07 (8 Dec 07)


this vid left out the excruciating piece of presentation between Li Yundi and Tang Wei. what bad scripting.

but on a high note, this performance had me at HELLO.
if u watched, or listened to the originals, u'd realise how this set is more rocked out and the way he presents it...it makes u hate the original.
this is the uncut version, unseen on ch U, featuring a very brief lip-lock between Rainie and another female at the screen (one of the songs nominated was from the movie Tattoo)
and song 3. what a beautiful twist. so hard to sing i wished it lasted longer.
and Soda Green's ditto. notice how his eyes lit up.

as much as i hate his name and all the breakfast associations, they way he sings is just mesmerising and charismatic. close to magic.

the first 2 pics were found at my block's lifts. i thought it was damn funny hahahah. anyway i thought the piano playin was kinda nice =)

and the 3rd is a narcissistic shot. oh well. i hardly do tt (seriously!), but i really like this pic. hahahhah. a random nice pic =) pleaseddddd

people

Barb's songs have the greatest opening lines.
-The Way We Were's classic "memories, like the corner of my mind". just listening to the opening music wld put me at peace.

- Coming In and Out of your Life's "and i still remember, the last time i cry i was holding you and loving you".

- "Papa, can you hear me?"

- "Midnight. not a sound from the pavement." yes, Memories fr Phantom has been covered to death.

- "what are you doing the rest of your life?"

- and the one tt gets me in the mood tonight, People's "People, people who need people are the luckiest people in the world."
