沙沙的谁
词：方文山 曲：林邦奇

斑驳的台阶,一双老旧的鞋
这无声却怀念的气氛和对味
诗里的世界被风翻了几页
我的妥协却被你撕毁

你给我的承诺像标本框里的蝶
冰冷的睡,像永不再醒来的离别

满园的落叶任风吹,听出沙沙的谁
离开的声音急促的令人心碎
你一脸的无邪 却连笑都不给
诗句语带威胁,结局要怎么完美?
满园的落叶任风吹,听出沙沙的谁
你的脚步声匆忙的那么零碎
我转过身背对你远去的感觉
安静的为你写下一首诗
再落泪...

Personally i think this song is good. Regardless who sang this, whether local or famous, all I know is that the lyrics are very well constructed with appropriate metaphors. Poetic, and more importantly, the melody articulates nicely, weaving with each and every word or phrase. Brilliant lyrics by Vincent i must say. The first few lines had already impressed me so much, that I couldn't help it but listen helplessly to the whole song over the radio like 5 months ago. Coupled with a nice melody, there's no reason why this song should be chuck in the bin.



"斑驳的台阶,一双老旧的鞋 这无声却怀念的气氛和对味"
This verse describes what the involved party sees and feels. Leaving just a lonely pair of old shoes in the dull corridor, it suggests to me that there used to be another pair, but it is no longer there(for whatever reason). Despite such depressing image, the involved party still silently feels that tiny bit of nostlagia, as though nothing has ever changed.


"你给我的承诺像标本框里的蝶 冰冷的睡,像永不再醒来的离别"
This verse shows the way the other party gives an unfufilled promise. The promise you made to me, like a specimen butterfly laying lifelessly in the sample-case, will never return back to life (be fufilled).


Haha enough of my personal views and analysis. I'm not a literature student, or a LEP fanatic. This set of lyrics is just too good to be left unheard. Especially at the style where most pop songs are gearing towards (i love you, why you don't love me? or i only love you, why you leave me kind of unglam, "uncouth" way of putting such delicate things across), the current pop culture is going downhill. Literally. Sighh.. I wonder what in world is our Chinese standard going to be like in the future -.-"'



Okay.. I'm blogging in camp =) That's a first =P
Well, today is a good day because i'm taking OFF tomorrow! So yeah. Thank God It's Thursday =P

*Rant Mode*
Well, just a few weeks ago, i made a post about ppl taking advantage etc. I'm going to vent my frustrations here again.

I can't stand it when people leave you alone when they don't need anything. Suddenly when things crop up and they need help, they will do anything to make contact with you and squeeze dry of you. Afterwhich, who knows whether they will ditch you in the drain, or just leave you back in their 'handy SOS phonebook' - On use, summons a 'friend' to help you. when done, your friend goes back to the phonebook and stays idle for another 20million years. -
How would you feel if someone that hasn't been keeping in frequent contact with you, suddenly calls you and asks for a favor. Just as you are about to forget (or trying to) that this person existed, he/she pops right back into the picture.
You see, I know it's nothing big. It's not that I don't want to help. I am interested in that raised topic too, but i guess it's not your turn this time. I'm not your clown. I am a clown. but not yours.

The midnight before my farewell

Hey.. this will be the last last post i'll be making for this month, until CNY pops, i suppose.

Yupps! I'll be enlisting in less than 20 hours.. Just finished packing my luggage and ready to dash off for the shit pen in Tekong. My shopping list of those items amount up to $60 including my new casio digital watch and healthcare products (body wash, panadol, and mopiko! etc), together with some necessities like markers, nailclippers, bla bla bla. Had a great meal this evening as well. Lotus soup, and mixed rice with nice nice nice sides =) *happiness*

I went for supper with a bunch of really nice people on wednesday.. WanChing, Kelvin, Susan, Warren, Tianzhong, Pooding, Gbear, Shini, and also Isaac who came to sit with us for 1/2 an hour or so. Had a wonderful chat and cracked jokes that made me seriously rofl. It's gonna be the last supper that i'll have with them for a long time. I'll remember to use my flamecaps efficiently and wisely when the time comes! *grins*

Went to SeowHong's place today.. He was willing to lend me a non-cam handphone!!! That was really nice of him =)
In addition, my battery for 6230i is also compatible with his! That means i have 2 batterieS!! Cheers! hahas good things happen in a row. so do bad ones =(
YAY.. means i can go and disturb ALOT of people via sms le =) nahh kidding.. I still won't be using much even though i have 2 batteries..

My brother just taught me a few tips on how to handle my BMT.. Followed what he said and bought items according to what he meant. yupp, it's gonna be tense in the bunk for the first few days, then it'll be fine. And my brother told me about this "buddy" thing. /PRAY THAT I GET A SUPER BUDDY THAT I GET A BUDDY THAT KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING!
I hope i'll be a good buddy too =P I'm bringing a couple of stuff that would otherwise be a backup for me. I hope things will be fine.. no tekan, no marking, just give me a peaceful life k, sarge!

Well, this marks the end of my freedom. This very night, will be the last night I can sit down in front of my comp, listening to my random tracks off WindowsMediaPlayer11, typing my blog, occasionally msg my friends over msn, and trying to fall asleep reading huge chunks of texts. No more supper or staying up late til 7am in the morning. No more maths IQ tests i can do, and no more music I can play/listen. I'm gonna be a dead and dying man.

Okay this is it =) Adieu guys! See you in 2 weeks!!~
Remember to miss me okay.. I don't mind sneezing again and again. I'm just a sms away =)







"Things will never be the same. It will only be until i see an explicit nod. Show it to me. Otherwise I'd just be as good as lost."

My final weekend.

Whew~ it's like 5 more days til i enlist. Practically 4 more days of freedom and I'm gonna be a caged pig.


"Coligar says:
oei
Coligar says:

Coligar says:
muahahahahah"

Bohan that idiot just reminded me of this very very very very very very very very sad news. Basket.... Very sour, but this is the reality. Losing my freedom is like the worst thing that can happen in a really long time. I no longer will be able to stay up late at night chatting over msn, reply messages quickly, or even go for supper whenever I like it. This mental stress would be more agonizing than the physical activities I have to do. To think of it again, the most shiong part about my bmt would be Area Cleaning...... i suppose.. =S

I guess I'll make this entry a slighty happier one, this being the last one that's going to be made in this "Liberty Weekend".

I just watched "Night at the Museum" the other day. It was quite an amusing one.. Too bad there were too many kids in the cinema, cos there were some really subtle dirty jokes that they made. Whether or not pun intended, you decide =)

"wax figure Roosevelt was ran over by a chariot. his body was being split into half (horizontally from his belly), and he wasn't moaning or groaning, because he said that he's just wax. this Sagawagea girl comes over and helps him fix that mess.

Roosevelt: Oh shit I'm broken
Sagawagea: I'll help you fix it =) [giving a really really hot smile]

-a few moments later-

Larry (ben stiller): Wow you look good!
Roosevelt: Oh yeah.. (grinning obnoxiously happily) Sagawagea gave me some hot wax , and i'm now a new man"


Holy shit. When i heard that, it seems that i was the only idiot laughing in the cinema. That pun was SO SO WRONG in a cinema full of kids... young young kids. Otherwise, this movie has a couple of jokes that can make you rofl. Brilliant jokes, Cliche script, Expected ending, probably a 3.5/5 stars for the comedy and plot.


Today i just had dinner with yanrong and seowhong @ PS.LongJohnSilver. Had a portion of GrilledCajunChicken and was totally bloated after a dose of Takopachi. We went to arcade to burn some fats after that.
On the 30min journey home, I was thinking of loads of stuff.. The past, present and future.. Probably not much of the future, but the past was kind of depressing. Sometimes you'd just wish that you had a time machine to roll things back and make it right. If only the two words "if only" weren't invented, life would be better.. If only......

Okay it's time to get some things done:
Shop for my Army stuff
Bank in my Edusave award Cheque
Hunt around for non-cam phones (please please tell me if you have one available and dont mind lending it to me =P!)
Draw up my financial plans
Buy 1 or 2 new year shirts
And get a CAP just in case people aren't used to me with really really short hair.

orkay~ maybe i'll just leave that hp out and live without communication.. no one to call back when i'm free oso.. my bunk mates would be there for me =)

after they finish their calls that is.

Tempest

I guess this would make my second post =)

My dad came back from his holiday yesterday and bought me a couple of stuff.. Still havent tried those out yet =X Anyways, i also went to Suntec to collect my copy of "Burning Crusade".. The box is really good looking and the content within is very worth the wait. It'll probably take up 8 days of my idle time before i enlist~

Apart from that, I went to Carl'sJr with yanrong watching him eat his huge burger, and me stealing his fries and drink.. The drinks were freeflow anyway... so..... heh =X was a little tired then skipped blogging yesterday =P

Today I woke up at like noon time.. Haha.. went cycling with Bohan at ECP at around 3.45pm. We cycled (and he blade) all the way from some Lighthouse-like area to the Country Club. Then we detour back again. Started raining halfway while we were returning.. so we stopped and had quite a little chat =)
Dinner was actually a sinful dose of MacDonald's Prosperity Meal UPSIZED. Just the fries =P haha then we met Taojun at Bedok Interchange to go for a game of Table Tennis over at KampongChaiCheeCC.. Both of them are really good.. I still couldn't figure out how they can predict where that tiny orange ball will fly to and how would it rebound from their bats. Hmmm.. I think i just don't have a thing for that sport =S

*NOOB ALERT*

bahh i'll just stop here. Tired >.<


P.S
the date that this is being posted should be 17th Jan but hell knows why blogger made it "16th"






"i'm late for that second time. being late at a crucial time kills"
"some things just got to end anyway"

My first time.

o.O
Never knew one day i would be THIS bored to start thinking of activating a blog account i created last May.. Rainy days aren't exactly making my days better, but it just suits my mood. Imagine the sight of people running around trying to find cover, cars slowing down, people with umbrellas and outrageous fashion sense of RAINCOATS (whaaaat??!!), trees with wet leaves looking more like black than green, waters overflowing from the drains soaking socks, clothes that can never be dry after washing, and the excruciating humid weather AFTER the rain. The saying, "Spring always come after rain" has probably a subtle meaning to warn us of global warming. Doh~

I just graduated from school and have totally nothing to do. Sometimes I just wish that it's June 2006 now, so I can hide myself at Macs and bury myself with tons of Past-Year papers, slogging on Maths, Physics and Econs.. Well, we can't turn back time, so I think i can only put those into the section of my brain called FOND Memories.

Thinking back, 05-06 were indeed 2 wonderful years filled with events that i will always remember. First was Orientation'05 (Renaissance), next was SYF2005 and Concert, followed by our Year1's ascendence to the throne comm. Pretty much politics to handle(which i totally disliked), and I was friggin backstabbed twice that year. Sighh I'd just have to admit that being a leader of leaders is really a tough feat.
2006 was chained with a series of unfortunate events. and yes i do mean UNFORTUNATE. The worst thing is that all those events linked up and brought over to 2007.. This makes me wonder if i had made the right decision back in 2005. The mid-yr of 2006 was a disaster. I barely walked out of it alive, with conflicts with teacher-in-charge and different values system.

"TBS, why can't you just listen to the comm for once? Your dictatorship is now inefficient. It's now the 21st century and you're still doing things like some Shang Dynasty thousands of years back. See? My prophecy came true. good luck 2007."

Fortunately, the 4th quarter of the year was at least peaceful(enough to get over my A's) otherwise i think i would have barfed gallons of blood a billion times. For that lots of support you guys and girls(u noe who u ppl are =) ) gave me, I need to thank you =)
My holidays were wonderful, events going on everyday. 2 orchestras to help out that Christmas, and totally enjoyed both of them. Gatherings here and there gave me much fun and laughter. This holiday could be one of the best i can have in my life =)

It's less than 2 weeks to my enlistment date on 26th Jan.. Feeling reluctant and totally unexcited because i have so many things left unsettled. Be it personal relationships or responsibilities, there are still many left hanging in the air. I know i won't be able to settle them all before BMT, but i hope each of them receive a proper finale. There are some things, however, I do not wish to add an ending to it. It seems too ephemeral for something like that to just end in a blink of an eye.

I'm ending this in a moment.. And thank you for reading this first post of the lifetime. My blog isn't well established with fancyful garnish applied all over the place, unlike those delicacies you see in posh restaurants of Raffles Hotel. Things will be for the better =)
i hope..





"I'll be waiting for that reply."
