Exchanges
Just got home from sending off my lovely cousin at the airport. She's going to Sweden for exchange. I swear there were like at least 15 people there to send her off. My competitive side kicked in for a while, but I was assured that I had just as many last year. Haha. Of course, I know it doesn't matter how many. All those who mattered were there (plus one who met me outside my house before I left). =) It really got me reminiscing about my own exchange experience. Seems so faraway now...the memories have become foggy. I've locked them away in some deep part of me and let them fade, because I'm afraid that remembering will make me yearn for the carefree life I had there, which is not only useless because it's all but a fond memory now, but also a bastardy thing to do because my place is here, with all those I love. I should never wish for anything more.
On the way to the airport in my aunt's car, I told her and my cousins: "她很舍得 hor. If me I would not go." (She's attached) They chuckled. I smiled sheepishly. I know it's a very silly and 不争气 mindset, but I feel that if I had such a special someone, I would never bear to go. It was difficult enough leaving my close friends and family. In fact, I was really depressed on the morning of the last day and I didn't want to leave anymore.
Exchange is really an experience of a lifetime, but I just wonder if I would think it's worth it if in the end (touch wood) the relationship turns sour because of this, as so many have. And so I applaud my cousin for being so brave to take this step.
Anyway, I also discovered something very unromantic about myself today.
梁静茹-可乐戒指
作曲：jasemaine 填词：阿信
星星在天上写诗
浪漫到放肆
嘴角的吻还未湿
我还受掩饰
我调整了我坐姿
假装更矜持
你的紧张你的公式
就像个孩子
你把我喝完的可乐
来换当作戒指
轻轻套上了我手指
你问能不能一辈子
那一秒突然爱上了你
傻傻的固执
我不要你解释
我不要你发誓
我只要你记得此刻
你眼里我的样子
爱我不要解释
爱我不要发誓
这一刻到世界末日
让我们一起把爱
化成最美最美的钻石
When Cheryl introduced this song to me by singing it at a ktv session, I found it to be a sweet song with a great tune. But on closer scrutiny of the lyrics, I realised that I cannot identify with the girl in this song.
I think I would never be impressed if he proposes to me with a coke ring, although the gesture can be seen as a very romantic one. Cos if you really think about it, romantic things are often very silly and impractical.
In fact, I want the opposite of quite a few lines in the chorus. 爱我请解释. 爱我请发誓.
Just a thought. :) Wonder how many of you are as "unromantic" as me in this respect...
