"Forty-two," said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.
lolz... hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy is insanely good. I need a Point-Of-View gun like right now...

Well said....

blueberry philosophy
Elizabeth: I guess I'm just looking for a reason.
Jeremy: From my observations, sometimes it's better off not knowing, and other times there's no reason to be found.
Elizabeth: Everything has a reason.
Jeremy: Hmm. It's like these pies and cakes. At the end of every night, the cheesecake and the apple pie are always completely gone. The peach cobbler and the chocolate mousse cake are nearly finished... but there's always a whole blueberry pie left untouched.
Elizabeth: So what's wrong with the blueberry pie?
Jeremy: There's nothing wrong with the blueberry pie. Just... people make other choices. You can't blame the blueberry pie, just... no one wants it.
Scene from My Blueberry Nights
时光是琥珀 泪一滴滴被反锁
情书再不朽 也磨成沙漏
青春的上游 白云飞走苍狗与海鸥
闪过的念头 潺潺的溜走
命运好幽默 让爱的人都沉默
一整个宇宙 换一颗红豆
回忆如困兽 寂寞太久而渐渐温柔
放开了拳头 反而更自由
慢动作 缱绻胶卷 重播默片 定格一瞬间
我们在 告别的演唱会 说好不再见
你写给我 我的第一首歌
你和我 十指紧扣 默写前奏
可是那然后呢
还好我有 我这一首情歌
轻轻的 轻轻哼着 哭着笑着
我的 天长地久
命运好幽默 让爱的人都沉默
一整个宇宙 换一颗红豆
回忆如困兽 寂寞太久而渐渐温柔
放开了拳头 反而更自由
长镜头 越拉越远 越来越远 事隔好几年
我们在 怀念的演唱会 礼貌的吻别
你写给我 我的第一首歌
你和我 十指紧扣 默写前奏
可是那然后呢
还好我有 我这一首情歌
轻轻的 轻轻哼着 哭着笑着
我的 天长地久
陪我唱歌 清唱你的情歌
舍不得 短短副歌 心还热着
也该告一段落
还好我有 我下一首情歌
生命宛如 静静的
[情歌 - 梁静茹]
nice song.... nice mv....
I know "sorry" isn't enough, but it's all I can muster for the moment, shrouded in this blog, encrypted in my own way. I forogt what it was like to trust your instincts.
"Sometimes you get the read right and still do the wrong thing."
"Why? Because you can't trust other people?"
"No, because you can't trust yourself."

你是此生最美的风景....
还记得那年的夏天
椰子树占据了海边
太阳光灿烂得刺眼
你轻轻吻了我的脸
飞机越过海面
划下微笑弧线
就在一瞬间 你和我之间
相隔一个世纪般遥远
幻想的时间
却带不走回忆里的画面
你是此生最美的风景
让我心碎却如此着迷
就算世界动荡
再绝望也有微笑的勇气
你是此生最美的风景
才令我至今一再想起
这样爱过一个人
是多幸福的事情
后来我们又再遇见
虽然成熟了些
笑容却都没变
就在那瞬间 有很多感觉
排山倒海湮没了视线
你没有开口
紧紧地拥抱着却意味深远
你是此生最美的风景
让我心碎却如此着迷
就算世界动荡
再绝望也有微笑的勇气
你是此生最美的风景
才令我至今一再想起
这样爱过一个人
是多幸福的事情
以为时间可以
像沙滩和潮汐
拭去回忆痕迹 Wo~
我们如果不曾分离
我不会发现
最后回到原地 还是最爱你
你是此生最美的风景
让我心碎却如此着迷
就算世界动荡
再绝望也有微笑的勇气
你是此生最美的风景
才令我至今一再想起
这样爱过一个人
是多幸福的事情
你是此生最美的风景

Watched SYF after 4 years since I last took part in it. It was pretty intense, you could almost smell the tension of the schools waiting outside at the main hall for their turn to play. I had no complaints about the result, except i thought it was a pity that VJ missed out on the elusive GWH. Anyway, well done RJCO or RI(JC) CO! No GWH but it was GWP (Gold with pride), the last part of mei hua yin was absolutely stunning, had goosebumps even listening to it from backstage. Xunqi's right, when you attend CO events, you almost wish that the day would never end, cos you know that when you fall asleep and wake up the next day, you'll have to put down whatever passion that was built up in the short span of the day before and continue with whatever mundane activities that your current life requires you to complete. Almost like a hangover....
My tutee got 39/40 for his recent math test. Notwithstanding that the test was pretty easy and he is quite smart, I shall allow myself a tinge of satisfaction as his math/science tutor. =)
Home alone for a week from fri onwards, cause my parents are going to aussie and I'm not (cos of the swine flu, long story...) Luckily there's 2B chalet the next week so I won't be bored to death. Accepting orders for Starburst products, I'm levying a 50% commision ( dun worry, it will still work out to much cheaper than what you get from Candy Empire)

Aware of Aware
The way the recent Aware saga had unfolded left a bitter taste in my mouth - I assume i did for many too. My response is one of irritation, because my take on the whole episode is that it was a calculated move (gone horribly wrong) to milk publicity. One of the biggest giveaway is the calling of a press conference to ANNOUNCE (whine) that they receive death threats. lol, closing one eye to the blatant mud-slinging, one could not close the other to the tempting of fate here. Should anything (touch wood) happen to any one of them or their loved ones (so said in the death threats), I'll leave you to imagine the headlines. So why the goading here to make the person who made the threats have more incentives for carrying them out. If they deem him/her incapable of such deeds, why the ultimate distress at the press conference? Hence, pointing to my conclusion that this is just a publicity stunt. Similarly for the email "leaks", change of locks episode, cat fights, agenda/homosexuality issues... etc etc.. Note that I'm not questioning the authenticity of the above-mentioned items, but just pointing out that a lot of unnecessary actions have been taken with the aim of raising awareness about Aware.
Well, I guess the entire Singapore at least heard of Aware now, but it's still a move gone horribly wrong. Why? While it may seem in the papers that a lively debate is going on, it's probably an illusion. After surveying 100 people in 2 weeks, I realised that a large majority of Singaporeans steer clear of controversy. Aware being in the centre of controversy now, most of us onlookers would just want to keep a distance away until it settles its problems. So while more people are aware of Aware now, the overall impression of them has gone down the drain. Lastly, the triviality of it all is exemplified when you see how fast we sweep the Aware issue under the carpet in the face of swine flu. Aware should take a breather, work on its damaged reputation, and the most important thing - stop wasting journalistic resources
