操场。男孩。感动。

以有一年多没有`到操场上跑步了。今天，心血来潮，忽然很想念操场。于是，换上了运动装到了住家附近的体育广场。 到了哪里，时间已经七时正了。看到许多人已在集中的跑步， 有些人正在软身。 还是象往常一样，到这里来的人有老，有少；有的跑步，有的散步。

望了望周围，忽然间，脑海里浮现了一名男孩的影子。 想起在一年多前，每每我到操场跑步时，都会遇见一名男生。那是我好注意他哦，因为他实在好爱运动。最吸引我的地方就是他很集中的在做运动。看到他认真的太度， 自已也不知不觉地更卖力，更专心的做运动，也更起劲的跑完十个圈。哈哈！想到这里，心想今天会否遇见他。。。

热身完后，我就开始我的慢跑。这时心想为自己订下一个目瞟，是否还能象以往跑完十个圈。哎呀！毕竟有一年的十光没有跑步了，这样子，目瞟是否不合实际了？ 那么我就跑完六圈吧！ 真的，开始跑的时候，觉得好吃力，不知道自己为什么到这里受罪。跑着。。。跑着。。。我对自己说。。。喂！要加油，要超越自己。。。不能退缩。就这样，我一步一步的前进。这时我的呼吸和力气也逐渐舒畅了。。。不是吗？人生中总不能轻易放弃，更不能放弃自己的信念。

渐渐的，我快要迈向第六个圈的终点了。 就在这时刻， 那位男孩出现了！ 我震憾了一下下, 心想你怎么在这时候会出现呢？我快要跑完六个圈，怎么办？ 就在这时刻，脑里啸来了另一个声音对我说。。。继续跑啊！要超越自己啊！ 这时，我前进了。我以他为目瞟，跟随地跑着。很佩服他的毅力和热诚，他总是散发出一股推动力，让人有一种生气勃勃的精神。

结果， 就这样我被他的启发下，跑完了十圈。很意外也很有成就感。原来自己还能跑完这个目瞟。从这小小的际遇，开启了我对人生的另一个领城——超越自己。 写着。。。写着。。。怎么自己把以上的际遇描述成类似一部偶像剧。。。哈哈！


深夜。。。
很喜欢在晚间欣赏好音乐。我听着电台广播，听到王立宏为自己的新传集“落叶归根”做介绍。改掉以往的前卫做风，这传集陈现了覆古和柔美的曲风，表露了王立宏的另一面，也发觉王立宏成长了。真的，听着。。。听着。。。发现这张传集里，王立宏做到超越了他自己以往的音乐，达到了另一个领城，有成熟美。 相信这张传集不仅收集了好歌也记载了一段成长的经历。。。我想是值得收集的。

被问到为怎么这张传集会有如此的变化？王立宏解释说他本身有阅读徐志摩的诗句和散文，吸收了不少文言文。也许就这样，创作里就有许多文言文的味道。

听到这里，我又想起在念书时的华文文学课，老师也有时常播放徐志摩的歌让我们领听。还记得两首旋侓优美的歌“偶然”和“歌”。徐志摩的文笔真的很美。当时在文学课的时候，我总会被一些美丽的诗句和散文感动。诗人作家的灵巧文笔总会不禁的牵动读者的思绪，让一片死海忽然泛起连漪。

听了这一段访问后，我钦辛自己有过一段做文学学生的生涯，有吸取过一些文言文，诗句和散文的灌溉。这仿佛经历过时代万千变化的玈程。更轿傲的是，我懂得如何被感动，也开始学习如何去感动别人。

也因此启发我用华文书笔来倾述我的这一段小心情。。。向华文文笔致敬。

I do

I think the preparation for a wedding thrilled me immensely. It was not a difficult task for me to wake up in the morning, say as early as 6am, skipped breakfast and ran under the heavy rain soaked in rain water. I gave no complain for being drenched in the heavy storm, got a cold and be a labourer carrying heavy chunk of materials...yes in the rain without a brolly. Next, while I was competing with time to complete my project within a limited time, I have to put up with constant nagging by some inconsiderate people; to be treated as some "outcast" citizen by some insensitive aunties...yet throughout the whole process, we have to put on a smile...yes an amiable smile.

Wedding thrilled me, cos I always thought it should always be a happy occasion...a day with blessings and laughters. So, I realise that I've high threshold of tolerance level when it comes to decorating a wedding event...cos I always tell myself and my partner...hey, is a wedding day...let's be happy. Yeah...wedding is a beautiful occasion...hope all people involved in this special day will make the day beautiful...This is the most beautiful gift for the couple...

A holy matrimony ceremony held in a methodist church somewhere in town...

The first 2 row of the pews...

The last pew...decor with dainty daisy
White daisies and roses...
When you attend a wedding...do sign in with love and leave your blessings at the reception table...that's the reason why the reception table is always beautifully decorated to welcome the guest heartily <333

Go East

I travelled for about 45mins to the EAST today...for what reasons? Haha...just to meet up a friend for a good meal at Tampines Mall. Then, we went to IKEA Tampines to browse around. Wow! The branch at Tampines is indeed a huge one...but the location is not very convenient ...There is shuttle service from Bedok MRT though.

Haha...my friend is into Horoscope lately. I don't believe such thing but it's interesting to listen to her analysis...

Libra is the talk for today. Libra representing with 2 scales balancing...wanting to make a balance and harmony...However, as a Libra is so desperate to strike a balance...a Libra is usually quick to please and agree with you, and a Libra will only say what you wish to hear...Don't expect a Libra to tell you the truth...Although a Libra agrees with you totally, don't presume a Libra likes you...Hmmm...so we sum up...Don't take the words of a Libra...see their deeds and actions only...Don't presume a Libra has no foes...In essence, take Libra on a surface value of 50% ...the rest come from their hearts...

I hope you are entertained...

Jacky Not Enough

Today I'm still feeling high after an unforgettable night soaked in good vocal, good music and good showmanship...

Thousands of light bulbs that shine on the stage...oh man! It's definitely hot to perform with these lights shine on you...
Wow! I think it'll be an honour and prideful moment for any artiste to perform on a grand stage like this...Jacky deserves this stage!

Jacky Mania

Just got back from Jacky's concert. Hmm...how to sum up a night filled with GOOD MUSIC, GOOD VOCAL, GOOD SHOWMANSHIP, GOOD ARTISTE, GOOD PRESENTER???

Wow! He aced it pridefully, he nailed every song so near perfect. Indeed, Jacky is a very respectful veteran singer. He delivered all to his audiences--his dance steps; the musical sketch; his hearty vocal... He rightfully earned every bit of applause and cheers through his substance-filled vocal and his professionalism. Oh Man! Everyone should at least go to one Jacky's concert to experience good music! You will find every penny SO WORTH IT!

I wish I could upload some pics here...but having problems to transfer the pics from my handphone to the computer...I'll try to upload some pics soon...

So glad to see Jacky's van drove passed us...and saw him waving to all his admirers...SO SWEET!

Concert

Woo! Counting down to Jacky Cheung's concert...140707!!!

Musical Life

Life is mystically musically lovely. I'm thankful each day for many simple things, though simple yet they are so important to make my day complete. I'm contented for the "once-a-while" surprises that taken me aback, yet that make me grow. It makes a smile on my face every time when a simple thing; an affirmation; a genuine emotion linger on in each of my days.

Oh man! I'm insane...just realised that I bought 3 CDs at one go...

2 CDs from Andy Hui; one cantopop album and the other a compilation of cantopop and mandarin hits;
How could I missed out his vocal, he's actually a talented and versatile singer, be it ballad, rock, R&B etc...he could do it so well...and his showmanship is superb...love his dance moves...a charismatic talent...

1 CD from S.H.E; the Play album...
I recalled some time ago I watched a variety show when this sugar-filled trio were challenged to showcase their singing and harmonising talents...they aced it beautifully...it was then I "see" this group differently...they are no sugar pies only...they can sing well too...

一步一生

I love this MV and the song very much...share with you =)

Andy Hui, 一步一生

童年是谁伴我走

挽我的手

望我踏上天梯

不可退后

曾经期望着我前程和恋爱什么都拥有

#沿途就算跌也要跌得好看

才能不自责报答别人厚望

然而谁明白我别理所想的坚壮

我很想找个人对我说别怯慌

回顾中仿佛一步一生

每一级一世都难忘如何吸引

曾碰上每个过路人跟我渐行远

悬涯上我始终都距稳

谁伴我去走一步一生

每一位一个不留神

不再热吻

还有没有人令我惊险又兴奋

愿我能提示我我这一生脚别震

Magnetic Charm

Chilling out with a harmonica... He can do the strumming too...
Rock on with a BANG?...He can rock the drum sets too...

Guess???

Guess who this dude is???

Confession

This supposed to be a private inner thought of my own. But I thought I should reveal my inner thought to some people, instead of bewildered them by my nonchalant response whenever they eagerly invite me to certain activities. I couldn't bear to disappoint anyone further, but I need to make my point clear. =)

It has been a while ago (I mean months ago) that I've been feeling guilty that I've been obsessed in idolising stars; and spending time and money on them. I don't know why, this guilt just occurred in me as time went by, and I was perturbed by this. Although during those times, I really enjoyed the thrill, as it said...it was only a thrill...afterall...a passing thrill.

This guilt dominated me even deeper whenever I leave Church after Mass... it kept me thinking why was I so naive and gullible in engaging my attention in such idolisation activities. Have I been putting God First? Have I been idolising temporal things instead of my God? Aren't believers agree that God alone is our idol ? Frankly, I was ashamed.

Thanks to the small misunderstanding, it answered those doubts which disturbed me all that while. It awakened me; it reminded me that I have my own priorities that require my attention and time to focus on. I don't see the point of "offering my presence" to support any stars in buying their albums or attending their autograph sessions to boost their popluarity...etc...etc...

There is no animosity, no anger, no jealousy or whatever negative feelings here. It's just that I am awakened! I will buy any albums which I thought I like the songs compiled; or when I admire some people talent...and I thought I want to keep their works on my CD rack.

And of course, if I bump into anyone or acquaintances I knew...I have no reason to avoid them and I will definitely say "hi"! Don't get me wrong, this is just my personal reflection, it does not apply to anyone who feels comfy with anything they do. It is just me, who are "awakened" now! (or "changed" if this makes you feel better...)
