Ai Qing 886

I just realised that epi 2 has Rain&Tear scene in it. Gosh, when I saw them 'Acting' the scene out, I immediately went to re-watch Rain&Tear Epi 5. That part was the female lead teaching her friend to Let Go. Re-watching it, I can still feel the turmoil when you Let Go.

Anyway the whole show has completed. And it does have a happy ending. I find this story abit like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind with all the removing memories technology. In that show, the conclusion is the person who you wishes to forget is the ONE. In this show, the conclusion is whether the memories are bitter or sweet, they are there to play a part in your growing up and understanding of mankind. Thus it should not easily removed at a zap.

Hmm does that mean we should never invent or drink "Wang Qing Shui" hee hee...

給我一杯忘情水　換我一生不傷悲
就算我會喝醉　就算我會心碎
不會看見我流淚

Actually I think sometimes some memories are best forgotten else it will impedes your pace to a brighter future... but i emphasis only SOME rare memories.

Sigmund Freud's Word of Wisdom

Saw this line in Wisely's blog,

When a man thinks a thing, the thing he thinks is not the thing but the thing he thinks he thinks.
By Sigmund Freud


At one glance, one might not understand what this really meant. Actually it is a very simple logic and by replacing words, one might be able to understand better.

E.g. I prefer to use 'Woman' and 'Love' to decipher so I came up with this line :

When a woman loves a thing, the thing she loves is not the thing but the thing she thinks she love

To conclude, what feelings we have, what thinkings we have is actually what we perceive only. That is why sometimes one will ask oneself, Do I really love you or Do I just think that I love you or Do I just love the feeling of loving you, or Do I just love the feeling of love or....

There is so many versions of life, you just have to choose one. Choose more and you end up muddling your life.

p/s : Sighz I still cannot find the blog on Wisely and her little girl fren =(
And I am still finding about Night Rainbow. Found some information already. Maybe will publish the blog some day.

A Friend's Poem

I decided to peek at Wisely's blog today and see what will catch my eyes. To tell the truth, this is the first time my eyes set sight on her blog because the first time I went in, only my ears were captivated by her background music. Unfortunately I can't remember what music it was haha.

Anyway her poem caught my attention. Those interested can follow the link to her poem. (I cannot copy it because it is copyrighted to her already and any reproduction will render me in trouble "p )

After reading it, I ended up thinking of the 2nd part of this poem instead of working (shhh....) So here it is :

她终于转身离开这伤心地
他终于觉察她那憔悴的背影

她的心 在每一步伐 碎一片
他的思 在她每步離去 強一点

她決定转身默记他与笛子的影子
他決定向前接收她与笛子的伴奏

If got any wrong words or better words, please comment kies. I have to admit that though I like to change lyrics, but my writing style (especially in chinese) is never up to standard

Over The Rainbow - Lyrics

I got stuck in a HongKong TVB series - "Fate Twisters" aka "Hei Ye Cai Hong" (which means Night Rainbow)

Always like Ada Choi, this is no exception. I know the story is a very typical storyline of 2 person from enemy to lover, and who has to overcome lots of obstacles + sacrifices to be together. But I like it maybe because they are just that simple. I wish there are times I can be naive and simple and contented with my lot but then I guess it is no longer possible. I always feel that innocence is inversely proportional with knowledge, the more I know, the less innocent I am. Although in this show, I think is hinting that money is inversely proportional with innocence. As what the character Amy Lin says, "If she has a rich father who can give her everything, maybe she might be as innocent as Joey"

Anyway I am still thinking, is there really rainbow at night?????

p/s : I never knew that mp3 can be stream this way.. wooo I'm so happy. Now I only have one problem, what is the song title?? haha. I know the singer is Su Yong Kang (if I wasn't mistaken "p)

Here's the lyrics for their "love song". As usual HK TV series always will have abit of English influence (& japanese influence esp the word "obasan"). This song is originally for The Wizard of OZ. Very nice story!!

Over The Rainbow
(Arlen-Harburg)
--------------------------------------------------------

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

50 things for Singaporean teenagers

Although I read this many times, but everytime I will read again, and reminisce my childhood once again. So I decided to blog it and read it as often as I want whenever I miss my childhood (which is especially often once one starts to work i.e. unable to even enjoy a student's life anymore)

hawk an Mickey Mouse. Not to forget, Ninja turtles and
Smurfs too.
*I grew up watchin smurfs and care bears and also never got much caring nature in me wat!

Primary school during recess time. You will squat by a
