Let's do a variation on Canon in D, the wonderfully overplayed piece that became so mainstream that it can be considered pop. The first variation is by George Winston, the one playing in the bg, made famous by the movie My Sassy Girl. The second is by this guy on youtube on the electric guitar. I kind of like the first variation more, has a reminiscent touch to it. The second variation is nonetheless refreshing, but not something that will stay on my playlist for long. And yeah, that guy has got fingers that any musician will die for.

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you <---- moulin rouge's rearangement starts from this line

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

[Your Song- Elton John]

Above is evidence why moulin rouge is such a good show. Not to take anything away from Elton John, his original rendition of this song is still wonderful with his trademark piano charm. But when u hear the rearangement in moulin rouge, it's a blast, literally. Full of kick, induces euphoria...... Gd stuff...

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
