Unexpected encounter

Maybe this is the first time

I tried to appreciate a person’s blog

Not to say I ain’t appreciating other people’s blog

Just that the feeling is different

Browsing a friend’s blog and a stranger’s blog is very much different

And this is the first time I am reading a stranger’s blog

I mean a non-celeb stranger’s blog

See how other commoners live and blog

Especially with spectacular language

Who says eye candy is only applicable for beautiful figures or pictures

Words can be beautiful as well

So maybe from now on

I should explore more strangers’ blog

Which is essentially not as boring as I thought

And it can enriched my skill of composing blog updates as well

慰籍

大家

似乎都想在自己的生活中寻找一些慰籍

其实只是我这样觉得啦

有些人喜欢打电话给朋友煲电话粥

有些人喜欢写博客

不是像这样open to public的

是private的

可以写更多自己的心情

不必去顾及别人的感受

有些人喜欢戴上耳机

把音乐开到最大声

也许我们都想做一些别的事情

让自己暂时忙一点

远离不开心的元素

不过最近我有写的时候都是在开心的时候

因为一直写不开心的事

好像是在乞讨者什么

虽然有时候我写不开心的事时

也是希望有人安慰我一下

（没有在装可怜啦）

有的时候

我总是想要替自己解释

不过最后都好像变成了掩饰

因为我一直觉得别人对自己的感觉可能是不对的

可旁观者清

也许有时我的确是在掩饰自己

一定是我还没有察觉自己的问题

给多点时间吧

哈哈

其实很多时候

我们都在追寻

不止慰籍

共鸣

赞许

又或者其它更多的东西

很多时候我们都把问题复杂化了

慢慢想

也许就可以明白了

又乱七八糟的写了一堆

越来越神经了:(

29/6

人生就像一直被重复播放的卡带

今天

我又开始了第n遍的败犬女王了

因为手上的康熙真的看到烂了

冬天

好像真的是爱情萌芽的季节

可能没有直接关联

不过在低于10度的状况下

可能握着另一个人的手

其实也是很保暖的

所以寻伴不果的人

可能可以去有冬天的地方试试

冬天

其实真的是很有趣的

不过

是在衣服很厚的状况下

像今天我们去princes park

是冷到。。。

不可言喻

因为风真的太大了

现在我不管梳什么样的头发

应该都会飞得很高

昨天偶然下看了完全娱乐

其实没有看到主持的part

只看了周的演唱会片断

是感动到。。。

差一点哭出来

因为是在computer lab看的

所以一直忍，一直忍

毕竟他是我们从小看到大的

会勾起很多回忆！

还有一件很令人开心的事

我的包裹终于到了!

感谢abu寄来的包裹

其实是我要求的啦

不过还是很感动

还有就是昨天新sem的课程表也出了

换新的system

真的很难用！

又要自己排

有一点麻烦

搞了快两个小时

不过结果还是满意的！

因为只上课三天

哈哈

总共十一个小时

不知道其它的大学生是不是也那么少

毕竟这比中小学生的上课时间少太多了

犹记得一前一天上课好像五个小时半

是每天！

Ok了

今天就说那么多

要去吃supper了

冬天真的很容易肚子饿

心，呐喊

刚刚和mixpod一阵混战之后

没办法只好先撇下之前的两首歌

（含泪中）

真不知是我的电脑技术太烂

还是mixpod太难用

又只可以放有upload在youtube的videos

上次要放我以前的blog的歌

都找不到好听的版本的

如果以前没听过那首歌

现在你可能要后悔了

因为我当年慧“耳”识英雄

万中选一的选了他的狮子大长口

现在那位钢琴家也蓄势待发

推出了他的专辑

钢琴弹的真的很不错

刚刚写得很急

来不及把全部写完

现在补上

其中有两幕

我真的很喜欢

第一幕就是很后面的时候

男要帮女和一个老男人照相时

两人都泪流满面

感动非常呢

让我不禁想起了

也是很久以前的歌

千里之外

我送你离开

千里之外

你无声黑白

沉默年代

或许不该

太遥远的相爱


歌词可能会错

毕竟老人家的记性没那么好

也许你们会说

这个MV里根本没有遥远相爱啊

其实遥远

指的远比这两个字多

岁数，家境等种种因素

都可以构成“遥远”这堵可怕的墙！

第二幕就是紧接着他们流泪那一幕

一张照片所捕捉的东西

往往比我们所能领会的多很多

不知我有没有说过

A picture paints a thousand words

如果没有说故事的人

又有谁会明白每一张照片后面的喜，怒，哀，乐呢？

夜晚

真的是很容易让人堕入无底深渊中

犹记很多令我至今难忘的事

都是发生在夜晚的

（没有见不的人的事,勿想多多）

也许夜晚让人找不到逃避的空间

所以只能诚实面对自己的心

有很多事

我一直想强迫自己记得当时的心情

可是我毕竟也身不由己

时间长了

渐渐淡忘

也许在某个午夜梦回

我将会重新领会那些我已失去的感觉

大家总是说做人要向前看

可不回头瞧

怎么会有办法领悟做人的道理呢？

我们的人生

都是自己一步一脚印

慢慢刻画出来的

没有过去的自己

是不可能造就现在的自己

每次说着说着

都越说越感伤

真是的

有一件事

我一直提醒自己紧记

就是每当我抱怨别人的时候

一定要问自己是否曾经亏欠过他们

有的话

我甘愿受到惩罚

因为当时不懂道理的我

把道理教会现在的我

I don’t like to be left out

That’s why I leave no one out

不想做过多的解释

因为是说给我自己听的

毕竟将来的我

也要向现在的我学习

我把现在的自己记录的越完善

也会方便将来的自己

哈

有啰里八嗦的说了一堆

还一天更新了三次

真是越来越有病了

下次不会说那么长了

保证

V.I.D.E.O.S.

CR 也曾经写过这首歌

之能说听了非常有感觉

貌似周的中国风没有一次失败过

虽然我也很喜欢范逸臣的醉青楼

林俊杰的醉赤壁也觉得很不错

（怎么两首都是醉开头的？）

不过一直没有放弃，醉心于中国风的非周莫属了

今天终于看了MV

觉得这种说很久很久以前的故事的MV

每次看得让我觉得很耐人寻味

可能这两天墨尔本一直“雨下一整天”

所以令我感触良多啊！

没看过的人

放点心思去看吧

当然，无意外的有看到方文山入镜啦

嘻嘻

某集看过很多次了的康熙

是方与其他演员一同去宣传舞台剧的

觉得银幕上的他与他的作品差了好多

还蛮好笑的

还有另一个

没有看错

应该是周的发型/造型师

不过不是很肯定

然后分享完这个MV后

接下来是另一个CLIP



超爆笑的说

两个都是我很喜欢的大道选手

特别是李千娜的歌声

进步的太多了！

记得在很久很久以前

（其实就是差不多三年前）

听她唱桂花巷觉得她很强

现在果真越来越有经验了！

貌似她已结婚/生子了（严重不肯定）

然后这个CLIP后是我很久以前就想share的CLIPS

注意

是CLIPS，复数来的

是我们SEM1的时候

一个极富创意的短片比赛


关于ECON的

没拿过的人更应该看一下

除了创意外

也会让你对ECON也一些些不一样的了解



The one I like the most


iron demand


this one is really long, haven’t watched it though


This one is just using all the items in microeconomics, turning them into lyrics, using the infamous song of “Party in the USA”

26/6

A lesson learnt

Bought a 2L tub of ice cream on Thursday, and since the box was too big for the freezer

I had to finish the whole 2L in one shot

So off I went

Didn’t manage to finish the whole tub

But only three quarter of it

And the side effect didn’t arrive until yesterday

Had stomachache for the whole night

Think my stomach got a cold

T_T

So I was hugging my stomach for a few hours

While watching Masterchef Australia

Quite a nice show!

But it was torturing to watch food show when you are having stomachache

And ya, the condition got worse as it was raining almost the whole day yesterday

Another thing to talk about is the one-day snow trip!

Finally my payment to the travelling agency was confirmed a few days ago!

So, muahahaha Mt Buller, here I come!!

It seems that Australia also has its rainy season

As it has been raining for two days already T_T

Not a good thing at all...

Watched “Master of Tai Chi” since yesterday (finished by today)

Don’t understand why those who martial artists never understand the point of
learning martial arts

Everyone (almost all) solves issues using their fists

Haiz

Stomach is not feeling well again

So stopping here T_T

Random Updates

Firstly, sorry for not updating for this few days

Didnt go for any outing, thats why lacking of stuff to write

And I am lazy as well...

First thing to talk about

My housemate has gone back to Msia yesterday

So the apartment is almost empty now

T_T

Second thing

I am going for an outing in 32 minutes

So THIS POST CANT BE LONG

Third thing

Thx Ah yan for liking my current blog song!

Fourth thing

I've got some pictures to upload but was too lazy to transfer them yesterday

Guess gonna do it tomorrow

But you know Australia has this tradition of having great sale approaching to the end of June

known as stock take sale

Accounting students please explain, thx

So I really want to go to at least one of the sales

since the price should be quite cheap :)

Thats all for now,

more updates maybe tonight

Cant stay up too late as I am forcing myself to sleep at 11pm everynight

Though I was able to sleep that early

I ended up waking at 10am the second day

What is wrong with me???

错误的选择？ + 心情写记3

有一件事情

我认忍了好几天

现在一定要说出来！！！

人生是一条很长，很长的路

没有尽头的路

这条路上

有很多分叉路

就像The Road Not Taken一样

每一条分叉口的前面

我们都在做决定

要多睡五分钟吗？

要旷课吗？

而有很多条路

是在选了之后没有回头的了

不要觉得沉重

也不要觉得后悔

毕竟在那当下

也许你已做出了最好的决定

我要说的事

发生在前天

考完试第二天

新高彩烈

跑到了运时买粽子

其实

当天即将发生的事

不是没有预警的

也许当我最爱的Bouverie电脑市提早关门时

就已经注定了我当天的选择

我居然笨到去买有辣的粽子！！！

娘惹粽原来是辣的！！！

$&*(&@&^$&*(&%)(@#

还那么贵！！

真是的。。。

现在想到都还很气！

以上是第一个故事

我们总是在追求着一些在脑海浮现的理想

也许是海市蜃楼

也许是黄粱一梦

也或者是时机不对

大家看过海角七号吧！？

里面有一段

在酒席过后

戏里的配角们不约而同到了海边

虽然大家嘴上没说什么

不过却好像能理解彼此的心声

加上完美的配乐

是我一直追求的境界

就像两个人一直被铐着背

一句话都不用说

两颗心却紧紧相连着

这不仅让我感叹

很多时候我们都可以经营很多事

策划很多事情

却远远不如不期而遇的感动

就算说了再多的话

好像都无法传达到对方的心

也许就像我刚才说的

人生是一条很长的路

也许我早在某个分岔口（感觉这个岔比叉有意境！）错过了我渴望的感觉

又或者那种情境在我的未来悄悄地等着我

就是因为人生无法预料

继续走下去才会有意思！

后语：
大学入学的名单今天出来了，也许有些人对自己拿到的offer不满意（要拿到自己喜欢的真的是很难）。换个角
度想，其实你们也在人生的某个分叉口，不一样的是，这次不是你们做的选择。而在前面等着你们的也许是更美好的未来，我真的是这样觉得的，加油！

Another rather long post?

Few things to talk about today!!

Feeling really sorry again if I accidentally implied somebody yesterday, it was seriously not talking about some specific people, but to the situation as a whole. And my deepest thanks to those who gave me positive responses to that seemingly controversial post. And I can’t deny the fact that I am a long-winded person, those who’ve talked to me on a phone must have known that! Haha, actually yesterday’s post should have been separated into two, but I was too lazy to do so.

Today is a really important day to me, as a supporter for Korean Team!!! Currently they are still fighting against Argentina, shall not give some stupid commentaries here. Ganbatte, Korea

First thing first, woke up at 12 something today! Super late, shouldn’t have slept so late yesterday, was writing that entry till around 4am. Soon after I woke up, meet a friend online and knew a really good news from her! CONGRATS, it’s really comforting to hear the two of them talking to each other again. May your friendship last super super long this time! And that great news marked the awesome day I had!

Second thing to talk about! Good luck again to those who have yet to finish their exams, especially Ghost, Leesiang, JJ, Bryan and Emily!! No matter how hard/ how much you hate the subject, once you pass it! You are over with it already, so buck up!

Third thing, went to a nice stroll to Princes Park with Linn, Yinshia and Brandon. Walked around the HUGE cemetery before reaching the GIGANTIC park! Saw graves with Chinese characters engraved on it too, as I asked them to go quite late today (around 4.15pm), the sky grew dark soon after we passed the cemetery. I couldn’t help but to think about one of the ghost stories that I’ve read, the one about ghouls living at the graveyard, dragging people’s soul away and replace the originals. Creepy huh! But the stroll was overall awesome, saw lots of people jogging around, and one of our seniors, Ken there also. Ya, he’s a senior who’s younger than/same age as us T_T.

The whole park is made up of several other courts like football court, tennis court and one round court which I’ve no idea what is it for (shallow knowledge I have).

Some current thoughts, been watching the match and I find Korea’s goalkeeper really good! He blocked a lot of shots already!

Sorry, continue now. Ya, the park is big and beside the park, there’s a small playground which is NOT MEANT for us. Although I (or We) look kinda mature, we are actually young at heart, so we couldn’t resist ourselves to have some fun there. There are five strangely built swings there, each with a safety belt just above the seat. There’s only two ways to get in, one is to slide your whole body in (given that you are skinny enough (Ya Linn, YOU ARE SKINNY!!)) from head until half of your body is inside the “safety belt”. The second way, not that I want to show off, is more suitable for someone who has a more flexible body, or maybe someone who is fatter and cannot simply slide into the swing T_T. Ya, essentially you have to twist your leg to move in, quite a difficult stunt, luckily I have BLACK BELT for Taekwondo (long long time ago, now I’m just a cocky old man who likes to tell everyone about his great past).

When I reach here, Argentina had just scored another GOAL, darn! People can’t be praised, they get cocky! Goalkeeper, do something please...

After the swing, I went to play the slide! It had been quite some time since I last played a slide! Awesome! I am totally height phobic! Hahas, AND Stupidly enough, Argentina had just scored another one... Freaking~~ Koreans, you have just wasted Big Bang’s effort in making that wonderful Video! Oh ya, talking about the slide, after Yin Shia and Brandon promised that they will slide down after I did that, I gave in... So with some light screams, I was back on the earth again! Quite a good experience Anyone noticed the person called “Linn” has been missing in this paragraph? Because she’s still on the swing... I think it happened last time when we visited her at BP and she brought us to “Lian Hua Chi”.

After the fun walk at the park, we headed to Eastern Resource Centre (ERC), a place where LeeChien is currently residing (^^). By residing, I mean spending quite some time over there. Like a second home. It’s exactly like Bouverie’s computer lab to me! (She even mention there’s a place to shower there T_T). As everyone can guessed, our dinner was without her, as she’s busy watching drama there, must join her next time because my dear Bouverie is closing at 4.45pm, not the normal 9pm T_T.

Had dinner at Intersection Pizza, been making silly mistakes and say “let’s go to Transition Pizza”. Very mathematical, I know . Currently, Korea has lost the battle. Never mind, as what I’ve posted as my status. Sports in the end, is to promote sportsmanship, friendship, and enthusiasm on something. So winning is not the priority! No need to remind me, I just said everyone has their own goal in live, and failure in achieving the goal doesn’t mean failing forever right? After four years, I’m sure they will SHINE AGAIN! (four years right? I don’t know the time actually, or maybe is it 2 yrs?). Like Intersection’s Pizza a lot, especially the one we had today, Meat lovers! Because there’s no veggie! It’s not that I dislike vegetables, but I really HATE green pepper and spring onion!

And so after eating, I headed back home with Brandon, who was going to Woolworths to get some groceries. Happy to see the pastries are on sale, so I bought 4! Hohoho. And as expected, I was charged the normal price and had to explain to the cashier AGAIN, don’t know how many times it has to happen... Just chatted with Bryan and found out that we need to tell the bank our TFN number, was charged some scary amount by the bank previously! Thankfully I talked to him today.

Just a random remark:
1. I had another read of my yesterday’s update, it was really well written! Never imagine I could write something that flows so well! Self-admiring myself again...
2. Sometimes being ignorant is really good, acting stupid is not bad too (this is in a good way). At least people have the chance to explain something to you, and you can feel the care too! Being/acting all-knowing is not desirable after all...
3. Looking forward to the revisit to Docklands tomorrow, going to grab some cheap items there (my toothpaste!! And maybe hair gel, they said my hair is very spongy~~ Wuuuwuuu T_T)
4. Typed it while watching W.C., hope there werent too many mistakes throughout the post :)

Controversial Issue Alert, those who get offended easily PLEASE DO NOT PROCEED

Firstly, I am feeling really sorry again

Since I’m currently having days and days of holidays, I would assume that I will be having quite some subjects to write about, some of them may be dull and very specific to certain aspect

Please just BEAR WITH ME!

Haha

BTW, I think I ought to switch back to English once in a while

Before my English got completely rusted

Just read my previous blog entry again

And found there were quite a number of words typed wrongly T_T

Have to be more careful this + next time

And ya, typing English is so much faster as I don’t have to think about “han yu pin yin” like mandarin

Needless to say about Japanese

Took me such a long time to type the speaking test script out

But it is still very worthy

As it will remain there forever

Was discussing about blog writing with a friend

And she thinks that what she wrote before was childish

Well, we are not born mature!

When I look back at what I wrote in my wretch blog

I also feel that I was utterly childish back then

And it’s a disgrace that I can’t find that kind of feeling back

The feeling which I would spend the whole day

Keep correcting what I wrote until I considered it was a masterpiece before I had it posted

Though I didn’t do it for all entries 

And I was much emotional

Now, maybe getting a little instrumental?

Circumstances are making us to be away from altruism?

Can’t we anymore have genuine feelings?

If you notice the way I structure a sentence is slightly awkward or different

It’s due to Japanese I guess

Sometimes they form sentences differently from how we form them in English or Chinese

Oh ya

Currently,

I’m trying to write more of my feelings/emotional stuffs using English

Although I am very sure that I will face a lot of problems in trying to do so

Have a real good sentence to share with you guys 

“The apple doesn’t fall far from its tree”

It’s quite meaningful

Took it from the song “We Cry”, The Script

Well, it’s a rock emo song which sometimes I prefer

I like songs which reveal about the real situation of our society

I am not saying that lovey-dovey songs are dumb though

Just that they are showing all the good side only

Songs like “They don’t care about us”, “Sweetest Girl”, and “Where’s the love” are
meaningful and reflecting the other side of the society, maybe the side that we always try to ignore?

By now, if you are observant enough

I’m a person with no artistic genes who like to listen to songs 

And I do know that people sometimes get bored when I keep discussing about this song
I like, that song I love, its’ dumb isn’t it?

Maybe when I’ve had enough of this corrupted society, I would stop sharing my sentiments on songs.

As sharing is no longer caring...

Next, it’s about something that I don’t feel right about

I don’t know since when, it’s hard to get a person to talk to

People seem to be busy in their own ways

Hard to get people dropping by on Facebook, or even in my blog, to leave a word to two. Sometimes I feel like talking to thin air. Obviously I am not saying I feel like talking to the wall, because even produces echo you see...

No matter what’s the reason people ain’t communicating with me or with the others, it’s not a good feeling.

And I know saying it out like this is like begging people to talk to me?

No, I’m not.

Because I can always talk to myself, read novels, watch drama

I just dislike this kind of situation

It’s more like you are bathing

And you know people are looking at you

And they don’t even make a sound

Isn’t it freaky?

People seem to be really lacking of the incentives to share

Dislike to share opinions, knowledge, feelings and happiness. But is completely happy to share their sadness...

Maybe you never notice this, but just think about it. It’s exactly like what happen in tutorials, even during SAM time! People seem to prefer to remain silent when questions are posted than attempting to answer it! That’s why I admire MYSELF, MOO and some others who attempted to answer in the class. Yaya, I know those who like to remain silent would say I feel shy and I am afraid that I will make mistakes, but acting like that would never bring you far, just so you know. We humans learn from mistakes, mistakes are the raw material for the product “success”...

Mistakes are meant to be made during practice, no matter how many mistakes you make, you don’t get any penalty, but you gain courage and knowledge!

I know completely well that some may be offended by what I said above
But this is WHAT I THINK, MY OWN OPINION, so if you unhappy with it, you can always attack me, you can raise objections, instead of hiding behind and start talking bad about me! I guess this sentence has offended more people 

Btw, come to think of it. What I got from asking/answering questions in front of everyone are knowledge for everyone!, courage for myself and the great name of being KIASU!

Hah, there are always events that happened in my life which I think people are being absurd, and I did try to talk terms with them, obviously with no healthy results. And these events which I had or never will reveal here should be buried deep down in my heart (or rather brain), serving as some good reminder that I should always stay in the middle.

This leads to the topic of being KIASU. I know this will sound really bad again. But there are a lot of people who are in no position to judge me/the others. It’s exactly the same reasoning why we don’t have engineers being referees for football matchers, because they don’t understand or I shall say no prerequisites in judging?

What I’ve been doing, is to be honest with myself, my own feelings. And what I desire currently, is knowledge. I would be shocked if people start thinking, “See, he’s defending for himself again”. Again, who are you to judge me? I know writing all these out won’t make me feel happier, nor everyone who reads this. But keeping this to myself will just make me madder and madder, and I need some channels to vent this anger (or unhappiness).

Some long long time ago, I used to think Xinyi was very kiasu (everyone had their past, I hope if she ever finds out of this, she won’t be offended ). But when I was in Form 5, I noticed that I am in no position to judge her, because I was not as good as her, and before I ever reached her level, I would never be able to put myself in her shoes. How the hell am I going to know what she was thinking/problems she faced? Gotta admit that I was childish back then, we are all on this road to attain success in life, but we waste most of the time fighting unhealthily with the others, without even trying to understand what they actually feel.

Currently, to me, nobody is KIASU, because those who are termed being Kiasu are just those who are willing to put in more efforts. And though this is really harsh, I still have to say it. Those who say others are kiasu, are just being immature as instead of attempting to be better, they rather stand there, pointing at people saying that they are afraid to lose...

People always think that I am lying to them when I say I always watch TV (used to when I was in Form 5) or dramas, variety shows (currently my favourite!), sleep and don’t really study a lot. What do I gain from lying to you guys? Are you gonna study less just because I study less? You don’t! Because what I do is totally independent from what you do! And I’ve always tell people, attending classes, participating in classes are much useful than keeping mum throughout the hour and struggle to understand everything that’s written in the textbook by yourself. No matter what, I can’t control what people want to believe and what not to believe.

Everyone has their own goal, think of it as a 100m race, all runners try to get to the finishing line fast. So would we say Usain Bolt is the person who is the most kiasu in running in the world because he runs fastest? Isn’t it dumb to say so? Why don’t those who are always whining about people being kiasu stop doing so, and do some other productive things?

Just so you know for the second time, life, sometimes is not as competitive as a running contest, so as long as you can pass the finishing line, you win in the battle with yourself!

You know sometimes people try to avoid this kind of controversial issues, but staying away from them doesn’t mean they won’t happen. Why don’t we be mature and face it openly, that we all want to win, that we are being selfish sometimes, that we just want to be alone sometimes, that we dislike something, or that you really hate this post?! Haha

1. This post is slightly disoriented as I typed it at different times, with slightly different emotions
2. A thousand please don’t think or assume I was talking about “you”, I was saying something in general.
3. All opinions that I wrote are based on the experience that I accumulated since very long time ago, not entirely about my current life, so PLEASE DUN THINK TOO MUCH.
4. Currently, I cant be happier thx to the commencing of my holidays, nothing had happened recently that made me have those thoughts. Chill, people.

A song worth sharing

**Just for information, this might become quite dull approaching the end T_T

Firstly, I would like to thank those who took a look at the pics I posted and the positive feedbacks 

I bet most people have heard of this song

But maybe have no idea how many versions it has

So far, as far as I’m concerned, there are 3

The first version was sang in English

Followed by one of my favourite Japanese artists, KenHirai 平井坚

And lastly, in mandarin by Sam Lee, 李胜杰

Though it’s a sad fact that it is most probable that people know this song through
Sam Lee, it is still good that people find the song likeable.

Why am I recommending it now?

Because I never looked at the translated version of the song

For Sam Lee’s version, I heard of it once and never noticed the lyrics 

I’ve been listening to the Japanese version during my exam, FYI I heard of this song in Singapore

When I visited my uncle and I’ve forgotten when was it

I just know I was quite young then

That song was out during the time when Fort Minor had their debut

Seeing that I was so young, but then, I only knew how to listen to songs, but not to understand the meanings behind them

Every song (maybe not all) has a story behind it

Illustrated by the lyrics

Made alive by the rhythm

A song is more touching if you actually look at the lyrics, understand them

Maybe a little long-winded when I talk about songs, so sorry about it

I guess most people also heard of Stephanie’s Hey Jude and Silent All These Years?

Hey Jude was actually sang by Beatles when one of the member wrote it to his son,
Julius when he was about to remarry, hoping that Julius can accept his stepmother

Alterations were made until it become Jude, a little girlish

And Silent All These Years

Even more shocking

When I looked at the meaning of the lyrics

It is actually about a girl, being two-timed by her boyfriend
(from the sentence: Jeans of his with her name still on it)

And she was afraid that she might be pregnant
(boy you best pray that I’ll bleed real soon)
PS: Girls should understand what’s the meaning of bleed real soon...

Done with the “you must understand the meaning of the lyrics part”

I would like to continue with The Grandfather’s Clock

As I mentioned earlier

It originated from an English Song

It was actually a lullaby

And if you listen the original version

It had quite soothing rhythms, very unlike the Jap or Mandarin version

It made some great contrast between the rhythm and the lyrics

As the lyrics is talking about something sad actually

Where the clock which stayed beside his grandfather since he was born stopped on the day he passed away

The English version lyrics:
My Grandfather’s Clock
My grandfather's clock
Was too large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor;
It was taller by half
Than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn
Of the day that he was born,
It was always his treasure and pride;

But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.

In watching its pendulum
Swing to and fro,
Many hours had he spent while a boy;
And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know,
And share both his grief and his joy.
And it struck twenty-four
When he entered at the door,
With a blooming and beautiful bride;

But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.

My grandfather said
That of those he could hire,
Not a servant so faithful he found;
For it wasted no time,
And had but one desire,
At the close of each week to be wound.
And it kept in its place,
Not a frown upon its face,
And its hand never hung by its side.

But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.

It rang an alarm
In the dead of the night,
An alarm that for years had been dumb;
And we knew that his spirit
Was pluming his flight,
That his hour of departure had come.
Still the clock kept the time,
With a soft and muffled chime,
As we silently stood by his side.
But it stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
His life seconds numbering,
Tick, tock, tick, tock,
It stopped short
Never to go again,
When the old man died.

The Mandarin Version:
古老的大钟
熟悉的老家 爷爷坐的旧摇椅
古老的收音机没声音
大树下围墙上看白云数星星
还藏在回忆里 很清晰

大时钟没休息 滴答滴答在传递
那是爱的讯息 仔细听
可是谁 都回不到过去 渐渐都忘记

某一天突然又想起 “滴答” “滴答”
怀念起天真的你 “滴答” “滴答”

大时钟它带着我经历昨天的旅行
儿时的学校排整齐的课桌椅
走廊上等待她走过去
下课中校门口 谁跟谁在生气
不记得 回想却好温馨

大时钟没休息 滴答滴答在传递
那是爱的讯息 仔细听
那时候 我忽然怀念起 年少的日记

Hu…Hu..再也回不过去 “滴答” “滴答”
Hu…Hu..昨天的旅行 “滴答” “滴答”

大时钟没休息 滴答滴答在传递
那是爱的讯息 仔细听
忘多了 想能回到过去 继续去旅行

熟悉的老家 爷爷坐的旧摇椅
古老的收音机没声音
大树下围墙上看白云数星星
还藏在回忆里 很清晰

大时钟没休息 滴答滴答在传递
那是爱的讯息 仔细听
有些事 一时想不起 并不是忘记

某一天突然又想起 “滴答” “滴答”
怀念起天真的你 “滴答” “滴答”
大时钟它带着我经历昨天的旅行
大时钟它给了我勇气 往明天旅行

The Japanese Version (The one I love the most)
おおきなのっぽの古时计
おじいさんの时计
百年 いつも动いていた
ご自慢の时计さ
おじいさんの 生まれた朝に
买ってきた时计さ
いまは もう动かない その时计
百年 休まずに
チク タク チク タク
おじいさんと いっしょに
チク タク チク タク
いまは もう动かない その时计
何でも知ってる 古时计
おじいさんの时计
きれいな花嫁やってきた
その日も动いてた
うれしいことも 悲しいことも
みな知ってる 时计さ
いまは もう动かない その时计
うれしいことも 悲しいことも
みな知ってる 时计さ
いまは もう动かない その时计
真夜中に ベルがなった
おじいさんの 时计
お别れのときがきたのを
みなにおしえたのさ
天国へのぼる おじいさん
时计とも お别れ
いまは もう动かない その时计
百年 休まずに
チク タク チク タク
おじいさんと いっしょに
チク タク チク タク
いまは もう动かない その时计
いまは もう动かない その时计

Exam Done

Exams ended!!! Photos time~ Hehe

The really elegant exam hall! Taken when everyone was about to leave

Outside view of the hall

The container for us to put our stuff

Again, the hall

Saw this accidentally, somebody must have put detergent or washing powder into the water!

The view near Docklands!

Me with the beauty

Very nice scenery!

Fire behind me!! Thx Susan for helping me

The guy in the big football, guess he lives in it

The last pic, equation of sun

烤素丸料

终于，终于考试结束啦

考试一结束，我心里的一把火有再度燃起

真是非常之爽啊

等一下应该整理整理我的notes, assignment, tutorial等等东西

再等成绩一出

如无意外

就可以跟它们说bye-bye了

其实我也是百般的不舍

毕竟也配了我那么久了

日久生情

不过下个semester又会有新欢了

真是对不起啊

对了

很久以前

我曾经说过

要把日文speaking的text post上来

一晃就过了那么久了

对不起

请耐心阅读

我可是花了不少时间修改

以下是我的Final Piece,

私はメルボルン大学の一年生です。専攻は経済学です。月曜日から木曜日までクラスがあります。ですから、金曜日と土曜日と日曜日にとても暇です。平日は午前八時におきます。その後、しゃワーお浴びます。朝ご飯お食べません。九時に、大学へ行きます。しかし、先週の火曜日に私は寝坊しました。ですから、二時間のクラスへ行きませんでした。午後一時にいつもユニオンハウスで昼ごはんの食べます。ピザやサンドイチやすしお売っています。ピザが大好きです。でも、ユニオンハウスの中にたくさん学生がいます、とてもうるさいですよ。時々、クラスの後、友達と図書館で勉強します。そして、うちに帰ります。毎晩、十一時に寝ます。毎週の週末に一回掃除します。

Roughly, it is saying that I’m a freshman of Melbourne University majoring in Commerce. I’ve classes from Monday to Thursday, so I’m very free on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. During weekdays, I wake up at 8am (I know I am just another big fat liar). After that, I bath. I don’t take breakfast. At 9am, I go to the university (Yet again, I’m lying). However, last Tuesday I overslept, therefore, I didn’t get to go for 2 hours of classes (Lying). At 1pm, I always have my lunch at Union House (No, I don’t). Pizzas, sandwiches and sushi are sold there. I love pizza the most. However, inside Union House, there is a lot of students, making it very noisy. Sometimes, after class, I go to study with my friends at the library (don’t have to remind me that I’m lying again). And then, I return to home. Every night, I sleep at 11pm (Lying again T_T). Every week I do cleaning once.

Seems easy huh? Not it isn’t at all. I’ve to say all of them within a minute (I used 1min 15 seconds though). My tongue got twisted whenever my tutor was looking at me, making me even more nervous. Whatever it was, everything has passed!!!!

明天将会就一篇应该还蛮长的post,还有很多照片，敬请期待。

（刚刚跟朋友通电话才知道原来有很多同学都有看我的博客，谢谢大家愿意浪费时间在这里，嘻嘻。如有任何感想／不爽，下次真的可以当面赐教）

明天见！

Untitled

今天休息一天

没有什么新鲜事可以讨论。。。

彻底的宅男生活T_T

而且好像要生病了

现在好像发热了

（吃太多零食的关系？）

明天是放假

Queen’s birthday

虽然对我来说也没有什么差别啦

后天就是last paper 了

欣喜中。。。

好了

就写这么多了

保重！

看败犬女王太多次了

才发现我一直重看

一直重看

都已经一年半了

每日一po

又来写写了！

嘻嘻

今天写开心的事

我知道很少见

呵呵

考试即将结束！

假期快要开始！

端午节要来了哦

大家已经运筹帏幕开始减肥了吗？

不然端午一到

体重将会一发不可收拾

哈哈

刚刚心血来潮

到河边逛逛

看到了一个很大的仿太阳气球

叫equation of sun

下次拍照再放上来 

然后就是散步的时候觉得很冷

原来只要是人

不管白种人

黄种人

都是怕冷的人！

大家在端午前就把自己打扮成了粽子！

再过不久

我的scarf和gloves应该也会被逼出马

期待快点可以去悉尼

那边应该没有那么冷~

然后回家途中去了运时

是运时，不是时运

太容易搞混了

一进门

看到橙色的通告

具体来说是提醒大家下个星期三是端午节了

其实是多余的

因为店里买了一大堆的粽子

嘻嘻

在澳洲还是有粽子吃的

而且很多样化

价格ok

不会太贵

差不多4-10块钱

在这里算便宜了。。。

还有，在众多的粽子里

居然有“马来西亚咸肉粽”！

超开心的

因为没有什么台湾，香港，新加坡肉粽

证明这里很多很多很多马来西亚人！

随着大家的期末考开始=>结束！

期盼已久的放假也终于要开始了！

先说

我计划要徒步走墨尔本市

到时成功的话就有照片看了！

再来就是

在寒冷的冬季

我们将可以热情的四处探望朋友！

那时必定有很多人飞来飞去

感谢那些即将大驾墨尔本的人

带厚一点的衣哦

还有就是我很想去看雪

不过旅行团都太贵了

现在努力寻找one day trip中

希望能找到便宜一点的

毕竟我只是要1：看雪 2：打雪仗 3：做雪人

不是要滑雪

太危险的运动了

最后一件事

世界杯开打了

虽然我都不知道

其实非死不可还是有好处的

因为还是有很多人会关注这种国际赛事啊

不过我还是很支持韩国队的

毕竟人家big bang都拍了宣传短片

http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/4ZbhPRQ4NpM

不然什么时候突然开始还是结束我都不知道。。。

最后

预祝大家端午节快乐（好像还太早了一点）

感到惋惜的事

烟花易冷

今天这个课题很跳脱

不过真的觉得方文山很可怜

其实很多时候大家的焦点总是被模糊

准确一点

被媒体模糊

这次做了纪念册要卖

结果被写成了揩油

其实他也没有打着什么为慈善或者公益的招牌

商人卖东西

顾客付钱买

一买一卖

我觉得没有什么不好啊

而且价钱也不是什么天价

记者真的是惟恐天下不乱

那么多东西可以采，可以访

偏偏找这种无辜的人开刀

对了，我其实很喜欢《东风破》的那本

很酷

现在搞到他不想卖了

想必有学econ的人

都知道society’s welfare一定会decrease

其实焦点被模糊这种鸟事常常发生

像周之前发专辑时

跳出来的悟空妹小姐

到底歌迷喜欢周

是因为他的歌好听

还是更倾心于它的花边新闻呢？

挖掘别人的隐私

揭疮疤

夸大其词

这些行为到底是为了什么？

对了，我不是看花边新闻看到的

是从方文山自己的博客看到的！

**发现到一件事
当部落客生气的时候
会更新的很快
不妨注意注意

Photos~~

First time uploading pictures here!!! Shiokkkkk!!!

Venue is around/in our exam hall! The name of the hall is Royal Exhibition Building, a world heritage.

More to be uploaded soon
