如果流浪是你的天赋
那么你一定是我最美的追逐
如果爱情是你的游牧
拥有过是不是该满足
(谁带我踏上孤独的丝路)
追逐你的脚步
(谁带我离开孤独的丝路)
感受你的温度
(我将眼泪流成天山上面的湖)
让你疲倦时能够扎营停住
羌笛声 胡旋舞 为你笑为你哭
爱上你的全部放弃我的全部
爱上了你之后我开始领悟
陪你走了一段最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后我从来不哭
谁是谁的幸福 我从来不在乎
谁是谁的旅途 我只要你记住

星星就是穷人的珍珠
你的笑支撑着我虔诚的最初
狂风沙石我得到依附
穿越过亚西亚的迷雾
(谁带我踏上孤独的丝路)
追逐你的脚步
(谁带我离开孤独的丝路)
感受你的温度
(我将眼泪流成天山上面的湖)
让你疲倦时能够扎营停住
羌笛声 胡旋舞 为你笑为你哭 (Ho~ 为你哭)
Hey~ 爱上你的全部放弃我的全部 (我的全部)
爱上了你之后我开始领悟
陪你走了一段最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后我从来不哭
谁是谁的幸福 我从来不在乎
谁是谁的旅途 我只要你记住
云破日出 你是那道光束
带着平凡的我走过奇迹旅途

爱上了你之后我开始领悟
陪你走了一段最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后我从来不哭
谁是谁的幸福 我从来不在乎

爱上了你之后我开始领悟
陪你走了一段最唯美的国度
爱上了你之后 我~从来不哭 (No~ Ho~)
谁是谁的幸福 我从来不在乎 (我~不在乎)
谁是谁旅途
我只要~
我只要 你记住

Zoo- a walk down memory lane....

To a child, the zoo is a living fantasy, as well as a walking nightmare. Just as how a sheep's bleat may shrill and delight him, the lion's roar strikes fear deep in his heart. Even in the safety of the viewing gallery, separated from the animals by a glass wall, he stands in awe.... of the wonderous works of nature.

As the child grows into a teenager, his knowledge increases exponentially and he starts to rationalise. When he visits the zoo again, the animals are no longer masterpieces of nature, but reduced to beasts in captivity providing entertainment for the paying consumer. Though he may have retained the curiousity of childhood, he has lost the respect for nature, or rather, the innocence that made things so simple....

"Under the closed flower,
Under the smooth shell
Of eggs in the cupped nest
That mock the faded blue
Of your remoter heaven."

[R.S. Thomas- Children's Song]

Visited the zoo with the class on thurs after make-up chem lecture. Interesting experience... We looked remotely out of place in our uniform as the other ppl aound were either tourists or pri sch kids. The good thing about visiting the zoo with a bunch of 17-years old elites is that they can entertain u with random jokes plucked seemingly out of nowhere. lol.. Left the zoo at about 6 and returned to AMK for dinner at Pizza hut. We were there from 7 -10, "talking as though our grandfather owns the place" (quoted from Eric). Miss Wong joined at about 8.30 after PTM in sch was over. Took a few group photos b4 Miss Wong finally convinced all of us to start heading home and forget about ponning sch the next day. Just as we steped out of Pizza Hut, the sky gave way and it started pouring. A timely lightning storm, reminding us that no matter how great we become, we are still at the mercy of Mother Nature. Took 86 to Sengkang with karen and shiting, b4 transferring to 88 to get home. Reached home at 11.15pm. Opp Cost of learning journey- one CO prac playing 音乐会序曲.... i guess its worth it... though it seemed more like a bonding activity than a journey focused on learning... not tht i mind...

Todae there was 4D class gathering, steamboat at Marina. A total of 18 ppl turned up, more than half the class... Meeting time was 5 at Marina Bay, I reached at 5.10, thinking that i was very late, but well, in the end i was one of the earlier ones and we sat in a circle in the station while waiting for the others. Steamboat was rather similar to my previous experience, its like a battlefield inside the place. Everyone was chionging for food and the typical Singaporean "kiasuism" surfaces. Ppl cutting queues like nobody's business and grabbing food as though they haven't eaten for days. After dinner, went into the arcade beside for the air-con. While in there, Nash and Jermyn battled it out in tekken 5 and we basically made a lot of noise. Eric and George seemed exremely interested in the female characters and Zi Kai was disrupting the game to let Nash win but everytime he does so, Nash would lose...lol... left the place at bout 10, taking MRT home....

放肆的尽情挥霍 那一年玩的多疯
你和我 站上全世界的最快乐 的巅峰 等着雨停的午后 你希望此刻永久
而现在 永久就是永久的牢笼 让我一直在等候

等待后面是等待 更沉默的等待~
然后咬紧了牙关 等待更多的等待

如果你 爱过我 你不会就这样走 就这样 丢下我 和那些天真承诺
如果我 再也不 不能再更多的承受 痛哭之后 却又咬紧牙关
继续漂流 继续等候

你最爱哪个歌手 最爱吃什么火锅
最爱把 小小的脸 轻轻的靠在 我胸口

这城市每个角落 回忆都霸占街头
我知道 你会想起雨停的时候 我知道你会回头

[五月天-牙关]

听五月天的歌总是有种莫名的感动,似乎唱出了真实的心灵,解开心中的死结...

It all boils down to the split second....

The icy gaze struck like a spear. Loathing. Contempt. Then it was all over... A lost cause....yet deemed worthy enough to fight for...

The warrior stood alone on the battlefield, his sword drawn and ready. With a yell, he charged towards the unknown enemy. Jumping into the air, he swung his sword with full force, making contact with the flesh of the enemy. At the same time, a searing pain registered across his chest but with the icy gaze bearing down, he completed the follow through motion of the sword before he finally realised that it was too late-
the enemy was within him....it was a lost cause....

The icy gaze struck like a spear. Loathing. Contempt. But wait.... was there a glint of a teardrop?....

First things first, results: A for econs, A for maths and B4 for GP... When i got 13/20 for mcq and 15/25 for drq, i was resigned to getting the inevitable B for econs, but well, my essay scored an impressive 40/50 to give me 70% , A on the dot, somewhat bittersweet consolation, for i expected the A to be in physics. In any case, i've learnt the importance of 知足 and i should just be glad for what i have.

After results, the next big thing was open house prep. zj called for a comm meeting 9 days b4 the event and thts the no. of days we had to prepare the perc item "next game". The rehearsal on mon was disastrous, the one on thurs was slightly better but still not up to standard but on fri open house itself, it was quite nice... considering the time constrain we had. oh...and for the first time, i broke a stick during performance, lol... was a little stunned during the perfeormance but according to zj, i reacted quite fast so wans't much of a prob...

Open house itself was quite fun, much better than the one i went for last year, at least i think so.... Bridge and CO booths were located quite close to each other so just hopped around btw the 2. Nearing the end of open house, me and xl were sitting at the bridge booth doing some partnership bidding when 4 pro looking guys decided tht they wanted a game... 2 of them sat down at our table and xl dealt the cards. My RHO opened 1NT and i asked LHO if it is a strong opening, he replied something like "7-7" which i couldn't make sense of. Played safe and passed. 1NT was passed out, as i was about do the opening lead, my RHO threw down a lead and seemingly oblivious to my shock, smugly announced "No trump, my lead". Me and xl were stunned momentarily, but was enlightened shortly. As the game proceded, we realise tht they were playing "floating bridge" with fixed partners, the irony.... And we down their 1NT by at least 2 due to bad play on their part... lol, next year, the word "contract" had better be there...

Simplicity.
