Someone is jealous...

... that BHD got a get well video.

Ok, let me wish this someone a quick breaking free from his green eyed days.



Wow, looks like I am going green too. :)

Alternative Rock

I think I'm getting older. I begin to appreciate Alternative Rock.

Keane's Somewhere Only We Know



and Coldplay's Viva La Vida now strike me as listenable.



The irony of the social concerns feature and they are snide takes on many events in the world. Wiki probably has a good explanation on what alternative rock means.

Just as country and soft rock are more endearing and possibly less critical genre of music, alternative rock has a grudging vibe. It appeals to me because it has a strong story and I must 'fess I prefer the more narrative alternative rock. The heavy artillery sound is still not my kind of music.

Enjoy.

眼泪成诗 Tears To Poems

I'm going to dedicate this to all those who are recently out of love. I particularly love the first stanza. The opening lines of describing the recovered wounds as roses and the reincarnation of teardrops into raindrops were particularly poetic.



<<眼泪成诗>>

我已经 已经把我伤口化作玫瑰
我的泪水 已经变成雨水早已轮回
我已经 已经把对白留成了永远
忘了天色 究竟是黑是灰

[I have already turned my wounds into roses
My teardrops have already reincarnated into raindrops
I have already turned our conversations into eternity
Forgotten if the skies were black or grey]

*分手伤了谁 谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已无所谓
让你再回味 字不醉人人自醉
因为回忆总是美*

[*Who was hurt when we parted ways Who made him look noble
My tears have turned into poems for I am past caring
If you remininsce it is not our words but your thoughts making yourself drunk
Because memories are the most beautiful*]

我已经 已经把绝情变成了恭维
因为不配 你就忽然自卑说声失陪
我已经 已经把沉默变成了忏悔
无路可退 只能无言以对

[I have already turned my unfeeling into mutual respect
Because of our unequal status you suddenly feel inferior and said goodbye
I have already turned my taciturn into remorse
With no where to back off I can only face everything with silence]

Repeat **

分手伤了谁 谁把他变美
我的眼泪写成了诗已是无所谓
让你再回味 字不醉人人自醉
你的品味总是美

[Who was hurt when we parted ways Who made him look noble
My tears have turned into poems for I am past caring
If you remininsce it is not our words but your thoughts making yourself drunk
Because your choice had been for the most beautiful]

如燕 【小娘惹主題曲】

愿意合上眼才能美梦无边
别让悔熏乌了从前

也许碎片才能让回忆展颜
何妨瓷花拼凑明天

谁带我寻获幸福的模
却自己谜中困锁

谁为我留下缱绻的天涯
信物是抹晚霞

Chorus:
思念如燕它飞舞舌尖
若是真爱配尝几分苦甜

意念婆娑时间里推磨
追随到何处才结果

燕如针线在青空缝编
几幅女红将以泪缀点

誓言斑驳情雾只是经过
风雨中且让我盈步婀娜

Time in a bottle

Introduced to this song by T. F. It's one of his favourites.

And for some weird reason, every time someone tunes in to the oldies station when I'm sitting in their car, the song comes on.

I know it could be psychological, because you could say that I tend to pay attention to songs that I know. Hey, there are many songs I know, ok?

Two Sundays ago, last Sunday, and today. Every time the driver changes the station to the oldies station, or not long after I enter the car, it comes on.

Some kind of sign?
