Steve Irwin's death left the world in disbelief but the general sentiment was that at least he died doing what he loved best. Incidents like this throw into the obvious one of the unsaid and unadmitted truths of all man- the fragility of life. And it made me wonder if we have been too ignorant of it even at our level. How we are always complaining of odds being stacked against us, things not going our way and so on. The realisation of the fragility of life forces us to relook our expectations and perhaps makes us more thankful for what we have. Often we overlook the times when the odds favour us, our expectations distorted to the extent that we think that it is a given that things will go our way and so choosing to make a big fuss whenever the balance tips slightly in the other direction.

我的你
总是迟疑
连吻别也要隔著玻璃
我的你
在我指缝间远离去

这城市太过拥挤
满座的爱情电影
我用力推不开回忆

担心
你的单心
怕你将我想起
在那微寒的夜
寂寞来寻
最好是屏住你的呼吸

哦...担心
我的单心
你就这样放心
我却如此愿意
竟然愿意
用白天
用黑夜
用思念
拥著你

[陈洁仪-担心]

Was impeded in my march to finish revision by the need to assemble the portfolio. A rather nostalgic experience I would say, esp when I based much of my personal statement and reflections on CO. The run down memory lane aided by past blog entries was a thrilling one as the euphoria of concerts and the sadness at farewells and handovers were all relived....That at the end of it, I just couldn't beleive that it was all over, all gone.

A salute to the memories of RICO 2001-2004 and RJCO 2005-2006. There are just some things in life that you will never forget....

I have no affinity with science questions. For the second time in a row, I abandoned my "spotted" topic and went for the question on the arts which I never did an ounce of preparation for. Call it stupidity or recklessness, I'll call it fate. Just like how Science ever had a social purpose eluded me throughout the exam,...

New song by FIR. Got a lot of negative comments from critics all over, but i found it quite refreshing. I refuse to compare it with the original song coz they are like 2 diff songs. Enjoy.

how do i live without you
i want to know
how do i breathe without you
if you ever go
how do i ever
ever survive
how do i how do i
oh how do i live

当你的手还握在我手中
没有一次
我还停留
说不出口的感动
当你的手还握在我手中
灿烂的笑容
不论过多久
都让我心动

每一天在你的怀里等待
每一次我感觉你的存在
不能重来
不愿离开
是永远都灿烂的爱

每一天在你的梦里等待
每一次我感觉你的存在
so how do i live
how do i live
how do i live
without you

当你的手还握在我手中
没有一次
我还放手
没有一次
停留
当你的手还握在我手中
灿烂的笑容
不论过多久
都让我心动

oh tell me now

how do i live without you
how do i breathe without you

[F.I.R. - 天天夜夜]

Scene at the park

A guy and a girl, each riding a bicycle. Girl on a smaller bike tries to break away.

girl: Dun follow me. I'm going to the maze myself.
guy: No way! If u do that, i'll follow u. (as though that is a threat)

Guy speeds up and catches up with the girl. Girl pulls a long face and starts sulking.

Guy(with an air of authority): No matter where u go, i'll follow you and protect you. I wouldn't let anything happen to u.

Girl smiles a little and starts racing with the guy.

At this point, i think it is good for you, the reader, to know that the "guy" and "girl" each are less than 10 years old. My thoughts after watching this scene- The end products of 18 years of sophistication are hypocrisy and cynicism.

有一个失明的女孩叫叶子
是我的好朋友
我知道在她心里面
能看得见一切

在她透明的心儿里面
有一个角落
那里停放着
善良的故事和动人的传说
这个世界没有欺骗也没有争夺
美丽的女孩叫叶子
它经常这麽说

在她透明的眼睛里面
有一片湖泊
那里沉浸着
喜悦的伤感和忧郁的快乐
它的水面上没有涟漪也没有颜色
长长的睫毛闪烁着无尽的猜测
叶子问:

爱情是什麽颜色的
如果忧郁是蓝色的
快乐是什麽颜色的
如果寂寞是灰色的
天空是什麽颜色的
如果汪洋是蓝色的
我说天空也是蓝色的
因为他们彼此相爱了

爱情是什麽颜色的
如果记忆是模糊的
渴望是什麽颜色的
如果时间是静止的
永恒是什麽颜色的
如果呼吸是短暂的

我想我只好沉默
因为这问题地球也在思考着
透明是什麽颜色的
如果风儿是快乐的
叶子的眼睛是透明的
心是心是快乐的
心是快乐的

[羽泉-叶子]

Heard this really really beautiful song on 933 while on the bus to school today.
爱情是透明的吧....
