我要飛 I Wanna Fly - F.I.R. 飛兒樂團

2012-01-22T06:46:00.003+08:00

An oldies which I love. I first heard it when I was 12, that's 8 years ago.

An image from F.I.R.'s first lyrics book

Let's talk about some old memories. :) When I first say Faye, I was thinking there must be something pressing on her smiling nerve. She doesn't seem to be one who loves to smile. So when I saw "Fly Away" MV and she was smiling in it, I was so happy I did a back flip!

Faye immediately became my favourite among the 3 of them. I have no idea why. Probably because she's the main singer, probably because I like her voice, but most probably because she's more loveable.

Background information about "I Wanna Fly"

I heard about it from a variety show that they went. "I Wanna Fly" was written by Real for Faye when she was feeling very down. So the first recorded version of the song display hints of anger, probably only noticeable to Faye. She said that she's unable to sing with the same anger in her now.

The lyrics are rather compact because I didn't want to break them up. The translation looks better that way. And I must say, this is the nicest translation in English among all the other lyrics I have ever translated. Simple and straight to the point lyrics that gives one energy.

Song: I Wanna Fly (我要飛 Wo Yao Fei)

Helping a pregnant woman who screams for help in Japanese

2012-01-22T03:04:00.003+08:00

Continuing importing my dream journals from a forum blog. This is dated on 29th December 2011. This was classified under "Memorable".

Helping a pregnant woman who screams for help in Japanese

This shall be my second dream journal. It's late here but I figured what should be done today should be done.

The starting of the dream consists parts of another dream I had earlier that night. In the previous dream, I dreamt of students drawing their persona and their drawings floated out of their paper in a single colour. Meaning one student's persona will be a green ghost, and the other student's will be a blue ghost. I was looking at the scene from a 3rd person perspective and I look like I'm pretty far away from the ground.

In the previous dream too, I dreamt of a woman staggering into the classroom and asking for help in Japanese. I was in the classroom then. Although I am able to understand what she said, I was unable to react quickly. She placed one hand within our visible view and it was covered with blood. Something bad happened to her afterwards (probably she died).

Now back to the dream I am going to write about

I was in a classroom filled with primary school students and a teacher. One moment the students were drawing their persona and I was walking around to check on their progress, the next moment the teacher decided to teach the class and I stood at a corner near the front door. It seems as though I was acting as a helper. The teacher got a student to hold a book and write whatever she says on the whiteboard. The words he wrote seemed jerky. At that moment I find that method of teaching familiar, as though my teacher had used it in real life.

As I was walking nearer to the teacher's desk, a woman (dressed in white maybe) suddenly came into the classroom shouting for help in Japanese. It was the exact same scene I had seen in the previous dream. This time I managed to react and I replied back with "Help?" and I started a short conversation with her, telling her that I know what she meant in English. The next scene was exactly what I had experienced in the previous dream. She showed us a bloody hand and fell onto the ground. I have no idea when did I realised that she is pregnant.

Before she fell onto the ground I was beside her, so she ended up lying in my embrace. The others surrounded us and panicked as it seems that she is about to give birth. I think I tried to comfort her then but all I could do was support her as she laid on the cement floor. However the pregnant lady was very rational and she told someone to fetch her scissors, towels and a basin of water.

Next, my view switched to a video showing how to cut the umbilical cord. When the video sort of ended, I was at another location and the pregnant woman was with me. We seemed to have walked passed a lot of places before we reached a nice and quiet corner and she was lying on the floor and leaning against me as support. I left that place to get some stuffs and weirdly I think I had her curled up and placed in my bag. I recalled looking at doors which seemed to be doors that leads to a hall when I left.

After I went away for a while, something terrible seemed to have happened and I was hurrying to get back to the same quiet spot again. I walked passed people who were sitting and reading books. I climbed up stairs but was blocked by security guards on the open stairway. Previously when I was there the guards let me passed but because something was about to happen behind them, they stopped me. I tried my best to squeeze passed them and found myself walking on a bridge.

The bridge was suddenly attacked and I was flying around but I managed to stay on one of the bridge ruins. I took out the pregnant woman from my bag and she uncurled herself and lay in discomfort while leaning on me. It was too late to get back to the nice, quiet spot so I urged her to give birth at where we are. Some passersby came to help too and I could see a pool of blood forming between her opened legs as she tried to push the baby out. I recalled hugging her head to chest area in my embrace as I see how much she's suffering.

But then it seemed the dangers of the place have gotten more serious and people were scrambling to leave. I told her to stop since the baby isn't coming out. I had her curled up and placed in my bag as we escaped the place feeling dirty, filthy and bloody.

-----

Ps: I started to recall parts of old dreams.

1) I was running up and down a staircase that's covered with cement flooring, in an attempt to hide from someone or I was simply playing hide and seek.

2) I was running up and down stairs on a ocean liner and swinging myself with the bars, I even fell into a pool.

3) I enthusiastically joined a real life human video game. One moment I was running, the next moment I was moving against the wind and struck by some small flying sparkles.

And ~~all~~ most of my running dreams started coming back to me. :P

My Cute First Dream Journal Entry

2012-01-21T03:37:00.002+08:00

I'm going to import my dream journals from a forum blog. This was the first entry written and it's dated on 26th December 2011.

Someone commented on it and said that Jessica could be my possible "Dream Guide". That's when I started to get interested in dream guides. However to meet your dream guide, you need to achieve lucid dreaming first, something which I'm not capable of yet.

My Cute First Dream Journal Entry

This shall be very first Dream Journal entry. I think the dream is rather cute.

I was on the bus travelling to an actress' event. It was then that I realised that very actress was about to board my bus at one of the stops. So I had no worries that I would reach the event later than the actress since she's on the same public transport as me. Her name is Jessica Liu.

As the bus was very packed, she was near the rear door. And I was squeezed at the only big standing area on the bus. After the bus passed by several stops, the bus became much emptier and she moved to the same area I was in. I was praying then that she would stand beside me and she did. (That works in real life for me too, praying really hard that someone would stand near to me and the person did.)

I noticed I was leaning on the edge, so I shifted myself a little to give her my spot so she could lean her back on it. But then her colleagues all came flooding over at our spot so I was trying my best to stay close to her, and I was squashed really bad. Two of her colleagues were sitting comfortably on the chair right beside me and I could hear their conversation.

Soon after there was a bag thief on the bus. This scene was pretty messed up so I can't recall it clearly. A passenger's bag was stolen and an innocent person (it could have been me) was made the culprit. I became intelligently gifted at that time and I walked up towards the real bag thief who was sitting on one of the front seats. I took the stolen bag from him and returned it to its rightful owner. The anger in the owner's eyes simmered a bit.

After that me and Jessica went back to the same spot where we stood previously, she was following me when I was catching the real bag thief. Previously when we stood beside each other alone, it was an awkward silence, but after the bag thief incident, she strike a conversation with me.

When we reached our stop and alighted, we continued our conversation. As we were walking, we talked about breakfast but we were in a slight rush. We were walking at a rather quiet office area at that time. My friends appeared to lead us to the event location which is at a hawker centre. I only noticed Jessica throughout the whole time.

Jessica then mentioned her hands were cold, so I held her left hand with my right, and rubbed it with my left hand. When we reached, I was a little reluctant to let go and she gave me her bag, telling me to look after it for her. My friends brought me to the seats which they had reserved.

However my friends took the corner seats, and I was unable to see Jessica on stage at all because I was blocked by the stage frame. By the time I decided to move nearer to the stage to get a better look, Jessica was looking away and she was standing at the back, looking at something which was on her hand.

I went back to my seat again and the phone in Jessica's bag suddenly rang. I unzipped the bag and tried to take it out but I took a long time. The phone looked like one of those really old phone model; was rather huge and bulky and only has a small screen. When I finally managed to take the phone out, Jessica was already standing next to me with the exact same bulky phone held near to her ears.

The ending was a mess. We left the event location while they were having their break interval, and I was eating breakfast with my friends. Breakfast consisted of toasts and half boiled eggs and I recalled spending an exceptionally long time on the eggs. I overheard there was a planned attack on Jessica but Jessica was nowhere to be seen at that time.

Happy New Year 2012

2012-01-20T04:53:00.016+08:00

Yes I know I'm 20 days late, but what do you know, Chinese New Year's just 3 days away so I'm still on time! :)

First some overdue events

Christmas:

Christmas was spent with family and we decided to play some childhood games because I was sick of playing cards. We were playing "Green Lights, Red Lights", "A, E, I, O, U" or otherwise known as “一、二、三木頭人” in Chinese. There are other variations for its name but I guess most of you get what it is.

Basically one person face the wall and say "A, E, I, O, U". We have to walk as quickly as possible to reach the counting person. The moment he/she says "U", they turn around and other players have to freeze. Their job now is to eliminate players by making them move, or laugh. :D

My uncle decided to join in the fun too and he's exceptionally good at making all of us laugh. I gave up on one round and decided to use an unforeseen method to counter.

The moment he stopped counting, I immediately sat on the floor and closed my eyes. My plan failed though, and everyone burst into laughter.

The rest of the day was spent with playing more card games, more childhood games (lots of running especially) and eating. Oh nom nom nom.

There was a special Christmas present I received this year too...

1 million GP from RuneSlayer!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New Year's Eve:

New Year Eve was spent with family as well. We had dinner at Chinatown before shopping around stores that were set up at Chinatown only during Chinese New Year. Life was easy. Any food we want, we just say and we get it. :D

I feel like a kid when I'm with my cousins and I do lots of running. Some extra exercise is good too! :)

But the festive mood didn't hit me till I went back home and get on RuneScape. Yes same as Christmas, New Year was spent on RuneScape too. Well snow and Christmas trees and decorations sure make it more merry, even if they were virtual. There were lots of others celebrating on RuneScape too so I was lagging big time and I've to set my settings to "minimum".

Everyone saying "Happy New Year (again)!"

Random balloon animals started appearing and players were bursting them. We get nothing though, just entertainment.

And then we started forming a line to head to another spot for another country's countdown. Countdown was over about 2/3 hours in my country by then.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chinese New Year

Last but not least Happy Chinese New Year to everyone, and a funny image by Jolin the Angry Bird. :P

Ps: Did anyone notice I was wearing an Angry Bird t-shirt during Christmas too? :P

感覺你的存在 Feeling Your Presence - 蔡依林 Jolin Tsai

2012-01-20T04:14:00.007+08:00

I'm feeling very happy because I am listening to this song. And Jolin had just made her recent Chinese New Year post in an angry bird suit. You can't imagine how adorable she is! ♥

There might be typos in this translation but I've double checked. As I'm too cheery, my eyes might have overlooked it.

On a side note

2012-01-15T02:28:00.005+08:00

After writing so many dream journals, the final day of my Hong Kong trip didn't sound as fantastic as it actually was. I must be having too many exciting dreams.

Just yesterday I dreamt I had a fight when someone stole my sword and we were fighting to snatch an aura ball used to power up my sword. I hid injured partners in an abandoned mansion which was located in an icy town. My seniors unexpectedly appeared and I took them on a tour to the mansion. The journey to there was more exciting as it became a mini puzzle.

Hong Kong Trip Day 6

2012-01-15T02:02:00.007+08:00

It's finally time to give this trip a conclusion.

As I was saying, I was heading towards the airport. I placed my lappy in the hotel's locker when I was walking around Disneyland so I didn't feel the pressure of it. But now that I'm at the airport, not only am I carrying my lappy, I am carrying bags and bags of the goods I bought from Disneyland. XP

We had our last meal at Hong Kong, a light Dim Sum breakfast and we did some last minute shopping. The adults bought some mooncake and biscuits while I was searching for my last present for my friend, Mustaffa.

He ingeniously told me he wanted a furry butterfly so I went to check out a toy shop. What do you know? I found myself a FURRY BUTTERFLY PEN!

I went to check the last few book stores I could see in the airport but Ella's book 《原來妳》was nowhere in sight. I guess I can only buy it off the net now when I have a visa card in the future.

Joelle, my little cousin, opened up another chocolate egg and gave me one. Here's what we got from the eggs. ^^

Pooh Bear and Roo, the Baby Kangaroo

The PokeBall is a keychain torchlight I got from a packet of Pokemon biscuits. I admit I bought the biscuits for that. I usually wouldn't go for such stuffs in Singapore but since I am overseas, it's okay to get kiddish stuffs once in a blue moon. :P

Beside them on the right is a special Disney coin.

Mickey Mouse, Wizard Apprentice's Coin

Serves as a reminder of my childhood. We could see the whole process of the coin being made in the machine. However the quality wasn't as good as what I had expected. But nonetheless, it's a special memento. :)

Here's my other Disney loots, Eeyore loots to be exact~ :P

A group photo.

There's more though but these are all the ones I had placed in a Disney plastic bag and stuffed in a corner in my cupboard, too lazy to unpack. :P

Last but not least, a Stitch cushion I got for Li Yi as her birthday present. :)

Took me a long time to find one that's similar to the one in the photo she sent me. This is the closest I could get. The body is different but at least the head looked the same.

Flying back to Singapore, and realised Eeyore's colour coincidentally matched the airplane's small cushion's colour.

Eeyore tries to sit near the window seat...

And... Bye Bye, Hong Kong!

黑髮尤物 Black-Haired Beautiful Girl - 蔡依林 Jolin Tsai

2011-12-25T04:15:00.006+08:00

Song: Black-Haired Beautiful Girl ( 黑髮尤物 Hei Fa You Wu )

(This is one of the hardest Jolin's songs to translate, following "Bravo Lover". The meaning of the lyrics came as a surprise to me while I was translating and reading up further on what the idioms and phrases meant. And I was lost couple of times in the MV when I was matching the MV lyrics to mine for checking; that's how mesmerising the MV is, that's how mesmerising our "Black-Haired Beautiful Girl" is.

Enjoy!

Ps: This is a Christmas present for my friend Linoa, a Jolin fan from France!)

Dreamland and Reality

2011-12-20T03:21:00.001+08:00

Why can't I just swap dream and reality around? I'd rather have the unexpected happen than for the expected to never happen.

爲什麽現實和夢境不能對調？我寧可讓意想不到的事情發生，也不願朝思暮想的事永不發生。

夢

2011-12-20T02:27:00.003+08:00

今天想了一整天，最終還是決定把它寫下來。

我覺得這應該是我第一次，做夢得到如此的安全感吧？

夢裏有趣的開始是，在我慌張的時候，突然出現一個人，她身旁帶著另外一個人，莫名其妙的狀況下我被封為她的二老婆、而另一位年齡大我挺多是大老婆。之後，任何場合都是由我們三人一起出席。

而我就緊緊地抓住她的左手。

她是誰？我不知道。臉也沒看得太清楚，在夢裏我也沒稱呼她。就一直跟著她，跟著她。

影響最深刻就是我時時刻刻在夢裏都能感受到那溫暖的掌心，因爲我們從沒鬆手過，或者應該說在我最需要她的時候，她的手都是牽著我的手。

最後的結局，她似乎說了我對她的重要，我還記得那時結婚戒指好像在我的口袋裏。我們坐著，而她給我一個側身大擁抱。

這令我想到我心胸還真不狹窄，最心愛的人和別人分享也無所謂。

只要她一直對我那麽好又讓我粘著她就行了。

突然有所感嘆，如果夢境是真的，那還真不錯。我就繼續儅她的小老婆吧！

Hong Kong Trip Day 5

2011-12-15T17:47:00.015+08:00

The day started with a light breakfast at Disneyland. But I didn't have the appetite to eat anything; stomach's usually closed in the morning.

While they were having breakfast...

I noticed a flock of baby birds gathering around.

Next, my uncle was saying that we should leave all the photo taking with characters aside and focused on taking all the rides.

So there goes my Chip & Dale... T.T

But before I knew it, my cousin was queuing up to take photo with Disney Princesses. And I was thinking, so much for making use of our time. I ran away and came back with a butter corncob - my breakfast.

I didn't take any photo with the Disney Princesses though, I refused to take photo with any characters that are revealing their faces, don't want to spoil my own childhood. :P

Since we visited Tomorrowland yesterday, we headed to Fantasyland today!

Our first ride, Merry-Go-Round!

What a Beautiful Horse! ^^

Mickey sculpture was around and this reminded me of one of my favourite episodes, The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

And our hardworking broom, too hardworking I must say.

Next we went to a 4D show, and it was really well done. The screen covered the side of the walls too, other than the stage. At the end of the show, a real Donald (a sculpture though) appeared off the screen.

The Mickey Door to the 4D show theater.

Posters on the way there, the Hades one looks special. :)

And there's a Genie poster too!

The next ride is like a ride made for me my Eeyore.

Eeyore...

Eeyore... (And my Baby Eeyore)

Eeyore Ride (aka Pooh Bear Ride)

And more Eeyore!!!

The End. :)

After a lane down my childhood memories, it's time for lunch! The cafe was Castle themed with some of Disney classics statues.

Cinderella under a massive light

And my favourite, Beauty and the Beast! :)

The helpers at Disneyland kind of don't treat me as a child anymore so I don't get any free stickers. But they gave my cousin and she'll give it to me, especially if it's Eeyore, but I think we didn't get an Eeyore one.

However when I was buying my lunch, the cashier got impatient waiting for me to dig out my money and she smacked a few pieces of the same stickers on my tray. My first free stickers?

A sword in a heart glass window (at the Cafe)

The food wasn't that bad. After the few days of oily food at Hong Kong, Disneyland's food was the best! I got myself a plate of Curry Chicken Rice + Tomato Soup. And afterwards we continued with our rides.

Flying Dumbo!
Love the water effects at the background of the photo.

And what do you know? We saw more Disney characters mascots walking around so we went to take photo with them again! Just when we were about to take photo with Pooh Bear, he left and after a few minutes another Pooh Bear came back.

What do I mean by another? Most probably they swapped people because this Pooh Bear coming back walks like a gangster. Lols.

I took my Eeyore to take a photo with him.

Eeyore's in this photo too, the Pooh just kinda took it and stuffed it under his shirt, smelly.

I vaguely hear the helpers talking about me bringing an Eeyore. Well, there isn't an Eeyore around. And Pooh is his only friend... So... :)

And a Donald Duck wearing Chinese Costume.

Took me a long time to find Alice in Wonderland characters but they are back-facing me...

My favourite Cheshire Cat...

And the White Rabbit who's always in a rush.

We took 2 more rides at Fantasyland, one is Mad Hatter's Tea Cups and another is a boat ride with a very cheery theme.

Next, on our way to Adventureland, I spotted an interesting thing.

Some really interesting statues...

That will spit water at people!!!

Close up of one, but it's kinda cooling though because the weather was rather hot.

Next we took a river boat ride as a family. And previously we were discussing whether or not to look at the parade, but we decided not to. However after the boat ride, we realised the parade's coming close to us, so me and little aunty ran for it and we managed to watch the ending of the parade.

I recalled I went back to Main Street, U.S.A. to attend a short drawing class for Minnie Mouse together with my cousin and mother. My drawing skills ain't that great though, and I was the only one smart enough to bring an eraser there. :P

We head back to Adventureland afterwards to take a last final ride, as most of them are tired, only a few of us went.

It's across the river.

So we took a raft there.

The last attraction of the day, presenting "Tarzan's Treehouse".

It's right across the bridge.

Baby Tarzan.

An ancient piano.

Tarzan and Jane.

And a not-so-alive skeleton.

Sadly we were in a rush and I didn't get the chance to play this.

Before we go, I must say this elephant looks really real life! O.o

We headed for a Lion King musical and I thought it will be as bad as USS, but it was unexpectedly good, even with the Cantonese sound in it (only partially). The best thing was there was air-con inside, air-con~ I was sweating really bad for the whole day, maybe I've lose some weight because of that? *Angel's Emoticon*

I was trying so hard to take a photo of Timon but HE JUST CAN'T STAY STILL!

A bit better? :|

Simba, he's stationary though but I bet there's someone pulling some strings to make his head move.

After the musical, they stayed for another round of Castle Lights Show. I stayed for the first but I was kinda tired so I told my mother we should go back to the room first, after all we've already watched the second show and the crowd afterwards will be terrible. But before that, I got myself another round of corncobs! ^^

I also did a lot of shopping during my final day at Disneyland!

A last Eeyore photo, pull Pooh pull!

The next day, we got to say goodbye to Disneyland. Before I forget, one last round of Eeyore's photos on the bed.

We're heading to the airport afterwards.

Free Hugs

2011-12-15T03:34:00.003+08:00

What has this world turned to? Why are there so many people uncared for? So many people suffering in silence. No one to turn to.

Of course we can't care for all the people in this world, even if we do, we usually only take note of people whom are suffering physically. What about those people who are suffering from mental torture?

There are so many cases in this world, probably including the friend sitting next to you.

Just because we don't say a word, doesn't mean we're not hurt. Even if we do, all we get is laughed at and people telling us there are much more unfortunate people out there. Other unfortunate people, that's their business. You can't compare their pain to our pain. Everybody handle pain differently.

And because there are so many uncaring people like them, many people really go into serious depression because people treat what they said as a joke when they tell them they really have depression.

To all those suffering people...

Free Hugs?

No I'm joking, here's a teddy bear hug for you!

Hong Kong Trip Day 4

2011-12-13T16:13:00.013+08:00

After a long time of hesitation... Carrot presents Hong Kong Disneyland!

We reached there in the afternoon because we had to travel from our previous hotel and plus a little delay here and there. And when we reached, we need to wait for a while before we could check in. So we explored the entrance parts of Disneyland.

Mickey Mouse Is Everywhere~

Day View

Coming to Disneyland is like a dream come true to kids. All your favourite characters come to life! And 24 hours of Disney Channel!

Upon entering the gates~

Posters of shows at Disneyland

Stepping foot into Disneyland

The first attraction we visited showcased some of Disney (and Disney Pixar) most famous movies. I took a lot of photos of my favourite Disney movie, Beauty and the Beast.

And before we headed back to put our stuffs in the hotel, I saw my aunty and cousin queuing up to take photo with Mickey and Minnie Mouse, so I excitedly joined in, like a big kid.

Smile :)

Our rooms are finally ready and what do you know? Mickey Mouse Is Everywhere~

Mickey Mouse Decorative Plate

Mickey Mouse Cup, Mickey Mouse Shampoo and Soap

Mickey Mouse Toilet Curtains

Mickey Mouse Paper

And last but not least, Mickey Mouse Room Card!

We went back in to Disneyland again, and this time we are ready to play some rides without our heavy baggage. Our first stop, Tomorrowland!

To Infinity and Beyond!

Walking through the long passageway to the ride with Buzz Lightyear themed decorations

Main Gameplay: The car travels in a set route, however players are able to control its rotation. The objective of the game is to shoot down as many enemies as possible. Ranking will be shown at the end of the ride based on your score.

Did I mentioned I am very bad at shooting games?

I guess it took me a while to realise that the gun actually work because I missed too many shots. Grandma in the front car was obviously bored.

One of the enemies

We took other rides like indoor roller coaster and flying dumbo.

I was so excited about the trip that I totally forgot I have phobia for roller coaster. To make matters worst, the person sitting beside me was a total stranger. So by the time I was in the ride, the "Oh-oh" sound rang in my head. I gripped the handle for my life!

But I guess it wasn't as bad as the Mummy ride in USS.

Nightfall came pretty fast and we entered a final attraction which is an interactive Stitch show. After the show, it was pretty dark and almost all the rides were closed. So we took a long glance at the Castle lights show. But we came in pretty late so we were blocked by many.

A lighted up Disney Castle

The first castle show ended and we took a little exploration in the dark.

Under a beautiful light in a jungle area

The glowing lantern

The second castle show was about to start and we managed to grab a front seat

I bought a Mickey Mouse Jelly and someone decided to appear in the photo with it

Let's say goodbye to Disneyland for now, see you tomorrow! :)

What Pokemon Am I?

2011-11-28T20:37:00.003+08:00

I was randomly looking at facebook for pages to like because my sub account, which is my current active account, is too deprive of activities. And I happened to come across a Pokemon Event with the description, "For the month of December 2011, make your profile picture a Pokemon that represents you the most!"

So I was thinking what Pokemon am I?

I took a look at my Pokemon photos folder and found a bunch of Pikachu photos. "I couldn't possibly be a Pikachu," I thought.

So I randomly searched for a Pokemon Personality Test and clicked on the first link that appeared. What do you know? I got a Pikachu! It's a bit accurate, like all other typical personality tests, but Pikachu is still too cute to fit me. XP

I just find the image cute. :)

Not to love means to love

2011-11-23T05:16:00.004+08:00

我沒好好解釋吧？

《不愛妳等於愛妳》 - 其實我也只領悟到一點，而那是在我比較“樂觀”的時候。

我覺得應該是把你對最愛的人的感情放下，但不是埋沒，因為對我而言埋沒是逃避。甚至把關於他/她的所有物品，特別是照片，或是能聯想到他/她的事物也收起來。你不介意把它燒了我也無所謂。不要再思念他/她，也不要再眷戀他/她。要是你真的放下他/她，你應該不會去想起他/她。

大聲地對自己說你不愛他/她。

如果你能每天看到他/她，那就別留意他/她，把他/她當成陌生人罷了。

你不會刻意去留意他/她的消息，也不會故意去想起他/她，但如果哪一天你知道他/她需要你，就出現在他/她的身邊吧。這就是我愛她的方式。

總得來說，我會把你的位子空著，但那位子永遠屬於你。

I will leave your seat empty, but that seat will always belong to you.

蔡依林、二林、三林、蔡二貨

2011-11-23T04:47:00.002+08:00

前陣子蔡依林在微博問二貨是什麼意思？

二貨就是傻，蔡二貨。想忘掉妳卻竟然眷戀妳其他的性格。我太失敗了。電腦已經清空任何跟蔡依林有關的東西，為了表示我的堅決。但手機主題反反復復修改了很多次，沒有一個看得順眼。誰叫我那麼聽話，照著妳“大丈夫”的歌詞，《手機桌布只有我》。真的，整個主題都是妳，誰要跟我爭愛蔡依林比較深。

妳那麼傻、又那麼可愛。能忘掉認真工作的工作狂蔡依林、能忘掉氣勢不凡的公主、但忘不掉躲在著兩層后的蔡二貨。真正看到這層的妳要是還敢說妳耍大牌就真的該打。

但我決定繼續用著古靈的方法，有關妳的事物不要出現在我的視線范圍內。

如果沒必要，妳只會活在我的記憶裡。因為不愛妳等於愛妳，這是我愛妳和愛自己的最好方法。

I Just Have a Sudden Realisation

2011-11-22T05:03:00.002+08:00

I don't have to give Jolin up. I mean if I really give her up it's going to be really troublesome, *looks at all the stuffs in my cupboard*. Lazy.

What I should, is to give up my stupid social life. I just deactivated my facebook, and accidentally set my sub facebook email to my old facebook's email. And viola, I can't access my old facebook anymore, that's akin to deleting it.

I just mentioned giving up my social life? Well my sub facebook account consists mostly of friends and family members that I WILL meet in real life. It's for connecting friends, not senselessly adding friends. Although I still have this aching sensation because I can't access my old facebook anymore. Lols.

Let's hope this is not a passing statement.

I've moved all Jolin's and F.I.R.'s and other random artistes' photos to my HDD. From now on, I need to make a straight distinction between real life and social life. Seriously.

I Want to Give Up On My Idol

2011-11-22T02:30:00.005+08:00

I've been posting a lot these days, because I've been thinking a lot. Not such a good thing though, at least not for me. Kinda feel that after all these years, I'm still alone. What I have been doing to fill that hole has been fruitless, instead I've been filling it up with arrows.

I'm not one that falls in love easily. Maybe I don't dare, maybe I'm too loyal, maybe I just haven't find the right one. The only "right ones" I've found are my idols. Been feeling quite terrible this month, and my friend was asking I seem to be eager to search for a soul-mate this week.

What do you want me to do? I don't even have a person to hug.

All I can do is hug some pillows and hope that the pain will go away. It goes away, after some time, and comes back again. And goes away and comes back again. But I think the pain last longer than my happiness. Happiness? Maybe I get some temporary painkillers by being around people, makes me think less though, since I'm concentrated with their voices, and most of the time, noise.

Have I been truly happy? Yes, why not? But when depression comes, it's like the world's going to end, it's like your death is looming near, the only problem is, you don't even know if death's going to cure any pain at all. Of course I'm not hoping that death will solve anything, I've been trying to get rid of my borderline disorder for some time, I got rid of it after looking at optimistic things for a long time. But maybe it's coming back. Or maybe just... Maybe banging my fist or head will feel much better than escaping.

Yes that's what I have been doing, escaping to forget. It's not the ultimate cure but the most efficient way to make your pain cease a little. And when it rebounds, I think it's going to hurt more. So back on to the topic, my love life. Nothing to say. Been single all my life. Heard people say Cancer's a romantic person, maybe that's why it hurts more. Probably there are people who like me, but I don't like them, as in even if I do, it might probably be because they are my friend and because they are treating me nice.

But I want the "You're the one" feeling. That's why I said I've only gotten it from idol so far. Maybe because they are more far-fetched that's why you can dream the impossible. But this relationship is ridiculous. You are head over heels over a person that barely knows your existence. What do I mean by barely? Well if you post on their social media sites frequent enough, they'll be bound to see you or even reply you if you get lucky. Or if you have been to their events, they'll be bound to see you as well, only problem is whether are they going to remember you.

So I love my idol, 8 years as of now. I'm not going to mention her name, but I translated her songs the most. And thanks to her, I've managed to struggle and gotten myself an A for Chinese twice, both for PSLE and "O" levels. She also made me realise how much I can love a person. And how stupid I am now. I can do anything I can for her, just like those people who are madly in love, the only problem is I don't even get to be near her. Well the most she comes Singapore once per two years, and we'll spend 5 days just camping outside her hotel and airport, only to see her for a few mere seconds.

Is it worth it? Yes. My answer today. Still yes. Why not? Anything I can do for her and myself for her to notice my existence. My mind's a complete whirl now, I can't formulate my posts properly. I can't see the head, I can't see the ending. I don't know what I'm doing. So at the end of the day, you realise you're just going to sink deeper in this one-sided relationship. You even make your ambition to work in a place that's somewhere nearer to her, or even live in her country.

Fans. We have a tough life.

I should just end things here. Make this 8 years long of affection die down. How long will I take? Another 8 years maybe? Maybe more, maybe less. I don't know. I've been living my life 8 years for her. What do I want to be? A composer, really? Is it because of her or because of yourself? Which horoscope do I like the best? Virgo, really? Is it because she is one or because you really look carefully into all Virgo's personalities? I suddenly take a liking to Hello Kitty, umad? Yes, definitely, all because of her.

Whose photos do you store the most in your computer? Hers. Over 1 thousand, all hers. Google homepage background is her, twitter background is her, weibo background is her, my whole handphone theme is her!!! My friend lists consist of her fans, even online friends that I met are her fans. I don't have a life, seriously.

I start twitter because of her, I start weibo because of her, I wanted to quit facebook but went back because of another Virgo singer. I think I even start blogging because of her. I started listening to pop songs because of her. I was yelling like mad to my mother because I want to go to her concert. My forum nickname is named after her. My cupboard is filled with her stuffs. Every corner is filled with her memories. Try not to think about her for 1 day, impossible.

Looks at twitter, there are her updates, looks at facebook, there are her updates, looks at weibo, she's everywhere. Give me a break already. She doesn't post on weibo for a few days, we go mad, fans go mad, I go mad with them. She doesn't compliment us instead she compliments another singer's fans, some was unhappy, some was sad, and I became agitated.

It's like my emotions are ruled by her. It's like my dreams are ruled by her. It's like, what do I even like? What do I want for a living? Where do I want to go after I retire? What's my favourite country? What kind of person do I really like? It's as though my idea of a perfect person is her, anything below her is not perfect. So how am I going to find a partner in my life? Never, because there isn't going to be anyone like her, unless I get to be with her, that will be impossible though.

It's like, now that I'm thinking. I don't understand her as much as she doesn't understand me. It's like I can't even stand her criticism nature in the first place how am I going to interact with her in the future even if I do have a chance. It's like, why am I trying to rhyme here?

I should just give up on her already. I have so much rants about her I feel so happy after saying it all out. And should just take her stuffs and throw them away or burn them, burn them to ashes. No wait I don't mean that, despite all her flaws as a caring idol, she puts effort in all her works. So I probably should just store them in the storeroom. So for any time I'm going to give her up, that will mean I'm going to give all the rest of my idols up.

So what's my interest going to be? I have some ideas about it though.

Living on a farmside, with a nice small cosy house. No animals around, I would like to live alone. Good to have some neighbours around though, but not too near, perhaps like some fields away.

And when there's a break in the afternoon, I will take a map and lie on the grass right outside my house and look at clouds floating pass the sky. Thoughts will go through my head, any thoughts but sad thoughts.

I'm probably not going to listen to any music other than the song of nature or classical music.

I have thoughts on being a nun or a taoist before, but my only burden is to put her down. Seems like there wouldn't be such problems in the future if I managed to give up on her. However, I don't want to gain realisation that way. It will probably be just trapping myself to think. I want to be free and away, away from the noisy city life.

I want when one day comes, my heart will no longer ache when I think of her, instead it will be filled with good memories and parts and parcels of life that leads me here today. I want when one day comes, when I hear her name again, she will just be another person to me.

I hate, I love her. I want to forget about her. Thanks for being there, now please leave my heart.

Upgrading to New Blogger Template

2011-11-22T00:54:00.007+08:00

I was playing with blogger's new template and template designer, so if you've visited my blog just, my blog will be in weird shape, and constantly changing colours as though the template's animating. Lols.

I guess I'll will stick with the one I have now after editing it for the whole night. :)

However, there was something lacking, and it took me a while to realise that my customised cursor wasn't there because I applied a new template and edited from it. I've figured out how to put mouse cursor codes from: Here

The only problem, my hand cursor doesn't appear when I hover over links. I tried to find solutions but I have no idea what to do with the google results I found, so I'm just going to leave the mouse cursor as is.

To me, feedback is far more important than design. So if my readers can't tell the difference between a linked text/image and a normal one, I would rather leave the mouse as it is. Well it isn't that ugly... Is it? :/

A Death and Telepathy with the Death

2011-11-13T14:10:00.006+08:00

Omg! Weirdest dream ever. There are going to be a lot of "Wth" moments in this dream.

The dream started at my house. I was in the living room, at the dining table doing my work. My friend, let's call him KG, came and sat beside me. So KG was looking at what I was doing. After a while, he placed his arms on the table and leaned his head on his arms. Taking a nap perhaps?

Never did I expect that when I try to interact with KG again, he's dead. Breathless and lying peacefully at the table.

Then a crowd appeared, namely my family members. He was shifted to lie on the sofa afterwards. They were crowding around him, looking at him, I have no idea what they are doing with him but whatever it is, it seems that not many people are afraid of his dead body. KG is a pretty nice person in reality, just maybe a little eccentric at times.

The next thing I knew, my mother came and talked to me telling me that she had telepathy with him and he wants to speak with me. So I was guided out of the house door and to the corridors by my aunty, who came up with the telepathy method.

She started preparations, like oning the switch for the DVD player and the television. And afterwards putting a disc into the player (or did she even place a disc?). I recalled the disc and the cover was messily placed on top one and another and I was trying to get the cover off the place where the disc was supposed to be placed in the DVD player. And afterwards things happened quickly.

I was standing outside my house then, looking from the window into the house, at the sofa where KG was lying. My aunty placed my right hand on KG's forehead and I started to feel a little drowsy. The next thing I know, his eyes opened wide and I shut my eyes instantly, with a little fear in my heart. But the special feeling didn't continued when I shut my eyes and I could hear voices from outside saying "His eyes are opened, his eyes are opened!"

So I opened my eyes and his eyes stared back at mine, big and wide, and a little darkish that symbolizes he's already dead. Then I felt the magic working and I was knocked unconscious. I was expecting to see him in the dream. But something funny happened. I was looking at a game screen with 2 cute characters, one being me, the other being him. And we are playing a game together.

Running through obstacles, escaping from enemies and trying to reach the goal. I wasn't that good at it. But it was kind of a cherry theme. The dream ended when we lost the game.

I was back at the scene at the house. And afterwards they were discussing about his spirit would appear and others would get a shock. And I said KG is a nice guy so no worries there. The End.

Titanic

2011-11-08T16:44:00.013+08:00

I've rewatched "Titanic" after more than a decade had passed. It still remains as one of the grandest movie in our century.

I've gained new insights, both about the movie and about life. Surprisingly, this movie was made as close to historical events as possible. In the past, I thought it took the gist of the historical event and rewrote a whole new story. However, our favourite characters in this movie, Rose & Jack Dawson, are fictional.

Of course it didn't came suddenly that I had the urge to watch it. My script-writing lecturer was using Titanic's script as an example last year. She showed us about half an hour to an hour of the 3 hours long movie. I wanted to watch the whole thing.

I must say the aftereffect of the movie was pretty bad. It creeps me out and I think I'm slightly traumatic. Like someone who was commenting about a video footage of the real Titanic shipwreck deep under the sea "To me, this is creepy to watch. I feel like I'm drowning."

I believe most people are like me, upon seeing the ship sinking, you're thinking of possible ways of staying alive, together with the characters in the movie.

The sailors of Titanic are absolutely professional; more would have died without their help. They could have survived on their own but I believed many died while saving others. If for just a moment human's selfishness prevails, many many more passengers would have died. I could be wrong though, because that's what I got from the movie.

And to add on, I'll be going on a cruise trip next month, so after watching "Titanic"...

Before I talk about the sinking aspect of "Titanic", let's talk about the amazing things that were made to make this movie a legend.

1. Miniatures & Life Size Models

I don't know about you guys but I find it very amazing. With the computer technology back then, many things could be hard to achieve. And to add in to the realism, a combination of miniatures, life size models, and computer effects were put in together. And they shuffled between several techniques so that the overall appearance would appear more lifelike.

And I have been through it, I know how hard it is to make a good miniature without driving one nuts. So imagine the passion they had.

2. The Research

I recalled a scene detailing how exactly Titanic was when it was sinking. And there were non-fictional characters in the movie too, like the Captain and the Carpenter. The most surprising thing was the actors looked almost like those characters.

3. Last but not least, the whole movie crew.

That's needless to elaborate.

What I like best

Titanic's Grand Staircase

Such fine craftsmanship can hardly be seen today. It sure looks Grand, definitely fitting for the "first class".

What I find interesting

1. People Falling

It can be seen at the end of the above video clip. When Titanic was nearing its end of submerging into the depths of the sea, it became vertical. People who were at the edge of the ship were slightly luckier.

However for people who were clinging on any thing that they could see, it was quite bad when people on the top fell on them, causing them to lose their grip and eventually falling into the sea below.

I don't know whether I should be laughing or what. Cause I was imagining someone would probably be cursing as they had found the perfect balance, only to be strike down by a force that fell from the skies.

2. The Father

When Titanic is nearing its end, some people could be seen praying near a Father. His hand had gone all red from the grasps of other's hands.

I had no idea they are praying to live or praying for a painless death. If they want to live, the least they could do is to get up and go to a more favourable position like Rose & Jack. If they are praying for a painless death then god bless them. It's not like there's nothing much they can do now.

What I might do if I were on-board

I personally think Jack's idea of staying on-board for as long as possible was splendid. It didn't occurred to me that the longer one's body is spent in the waters, the faster one will die. Because our body temperature loses heat much faster in water than on air.

However if I were them, I would probably get off the ship before it's totally sucked inside by the sea. To avoid the pressure from the sucking so it's easier to stay on the surface of the water. Jack also found a broken wooden door for Rose to stay afloat, it might be a good idea if he gets something to stay afloat too, and they might have survived together.

So what will I do if I'm on-board? Get onto the boat or cling onto one. At least the chances of survival is much higher, even if it means dropping into the sea first.

New Insights

I recalled the movie mentioning 3 famous people. One being Picasso, second being Freud and third being Monte if I didn't remember wrongly. Picasso and Monte were artists, Freud is a psychologist / psychiatrist. I would have miss Freud's name if I didn't read about his works before.

My mother mentioned she brought me to watch the movie when I was young. I couldn't remember and I doubt I enjoyed it. A 3 hours long romance and tragic movie is definitely not appealing to a young kid, unless it's a 3 hours long cartoon.

But now that I'm much older, I could feel the pain of swimming in the ice cold water, the panic of one's life ending soon, the luxury of the ship... So at the end of the day I would like to make a conclusion, there's nothing that's unsinkable. And I wouldn't want to watch this movie again because I don't want to go through the trauma twice.

"Titanic" felt like a thriller to me after watching it. And I had a mixture of feelings so complex I couldn't describe what I was feeling anymore. As I was cowering under my blanket yesterday, the ship sinking images flashed through my mind and for a moment I was thinking how my death would be like.

RuneScape Halloween 2011

2011-11-04T19:29:00.011+08:00

RuneScape Halloween Event is usually memorable to me, however this year's only memorable thing was the massive headache I got when I was trying to solve the 3 puzzles + quiz.

To add on, I wasn't feeling very well either. I recalled one of last year's puzzle, "Green Lights, Red Lights" being very fun. Although it took us quite some time to realise what exactly was going on.

However, I'm quite satisfied with this year's event rewards, specifically, a mask, a necklace and a shirt.

To start off, you head to the Clan Camp right outside of Faladour (you need to walk a certain distance after reaching the Clan Camp though) and speak to Frank. So after getting your necklace, or otherwise known as the Deathcon Lanyard, you are granted access to their Citadel, which is the event location.

First puzzle is the easiest of all, upon teleporting to the Citadel, search for the first NPC whom you can speak to. That will be "Beauty", a statue. You're supposed to select the right statues for each of the Clan's members and place them at their rightful positions at the entrance.

This is roughly what you'll get if you're heading towards the right direction. No clues given for this round, it's too easy. :P

I wasn't exactly born with good direction sense, so after clearing the first puzzle, I was supposed to go to "The Keep" for my second puzzle. However, I searched high and low for "The Keep", reading every noticeboard that comes my way but nothing was found.

In the end, I looked at a walkthrough video on youtube to find the location.

The best part was I have been to that building for a couple of times.

So "The Senate" is the first floor of the building, and "The Keep" is the second floor of that building. And I thought each building was supposed to have their own unique name. Why don't you tell me at the very beginning that I was supposed to go to the 2nd floor of "The Senate"???

Erm yah, those are stairs. Not very obvious I must say, I've missed it a couple of times because the chairs were more eye-catching if you refer to the previous screenshot.

So... Time for some...

And they showed you a skull of doom.

The rules are easy to get, I just need some trial and error...

And I guess I'm halfway done, anyone can guess what this is?

A Pumpkin! Pretty impressive I must say!

That's what you call "Pixel Art", although clicking the tiles one by one is rather tedious.

Last but not least, the chicken fireworks puzzle. Just head up the ladders once more from "The Keep" and you'll be on the roof.

Frank preferred to call the chicken "Horses" though. It's some experimental chickens that went wrong. It's made up of 4 different coloured chickens that were trapped in time, and fusing to form one unique chicken. I'm not sure whether am I making sense here.

This is what you'll see.

You're stuck with a chicken with no other clues given, not even a rulebook, and the only thing you can do is random clicking.

So here's a partial solution for one of the fireworks.

Yellow circles are Horses and the fireworks respectively, red lines are the L-shape pattern that Horses move in because nobody taught the chicken to move in a straight line!

The spot that Horses is standing at is initially another firework and I was down to the last one at that time. If any time you are stuck when doing that puzzle, my suggestion is to leave that area (the fireworks you have already set will be gone, no worries of it reappearing again) and re-enter it.

The last solution to all your troubles is to follow RuneScape wiki: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Halloween_2011

Down to the last one.

After you're done with everything, you're not exactly done yet. There's still a trivia for you from an NPC called "Fame" and you'll be rewarded with the Mask.

Fame is located inside "The Theater", the location of "The Theater" is on the roof, the same location where Frank and Horses are located at. If you look at your mini-map carefully, you'll see a door which leads to a room.

I'm not exactly a fan of the quiz, I did attempt it but not thoroughly. If you're up for some roaming, why not? If you just want to get it done and over with, head to the RuneScape wiki again: http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Runefest_puzzle_book

It keeps a sane man sane.

I haven't mention what I like most about this year Halloween Event yet.

The Punch!

Okay enough of joking around, let's head back to Death and grab your reward. His tent is guarded by his undead puppy, you can't miss him.

A pat on your shoulder for a job well done.

Oh wait, a new emote, let me try it out!

And an epic battle between me and Death begins!

Before Deathcon II

After DeathCon II

The End. ☺

我的耳朵癢一下　代表你在講我壞話

(My ear tickled once, means that you are speaking ill of me)

我沒這麼不好吧　不用跟朋友說吧

Wo Mei Zhe Me Bu Hao Ba Bu Yong Gen Peng You Shuo Ba

(I shouldn’t be that bad, you don’t really need to go and tell your friends)

如果以後和好了　看到你朋友不是很尷尬

Ru Guo Yi Hou He Hao Le Kan Dao Ni Peng You Bu Shi Hen Gan Ga

(If we patched up in the future, wouldn’t it be awkward when you see your friends again)

想起那一個夏天　那不是那不是那是冬天

想起你生氣的臉　每天就像冬天　

Xiang Qi Ni Sheng Qi De Lian Mei Tian Jiu Xiang Dong Tian

(Thinking about your angry face, every day is just like winter)

唉唉唉　你說那是愛愛愛

Ai Ai Ai Ni Shuo Na Shi Ai Ai Ai

(Alas alas alas, you said that is love love love)

騙誰　我說的氣話都收回

Pian Shui Wo Shuo De Qi Hua Dou Shou Hui

(Who’ll be bluffed, all the words that I said in a moment of fury let it be taken back)

我寫的小說　根本是空白黑夜

Wo Xie De Xiao Shuo Gen Ben Shi Kong Bai Hei Ye

(The novel that I had written, is merely blank and filled with darkness)

你說既然已分開　為何還要幫你撐傘

Ni Shuo Ji Ran Yi Fen Kai Wei He Hai Yao Bang Ni Cheng San

PS: The part with Minnan lyrics might not be accurately translated, pin yin for that part are based on Minnan too, so the pinyin might look awkward.

Hong Kong Trip Day 3

2011-10-31T01:55:00.009+08:00

Oh I'm really happy, within days of posting, my recent post "Hong Kong Trip Day 2 Part 2" hit the weekly most viewed post. :)

I'm currently listening to Ella Koon's album which I had bought from Hong Kong. Blogging really makes me unwrap my stuffs, otherwise it's left there for "infinity and beyond"! :)

Morning

I was having difficulties waking up as usual. But I managed to get my butt off the bed at around 10am plus. We went to a nearby shopping center for our breakfast. Lesson learnt, pay more for better food. So we headed for a restaurant that's so crowded, we were even issued queue number.

While waiting, we walked a bit and I noticed there was a Popular there. Yes, Popular bookstore in Hong Kong, so that means there's a CD-Rama there too. And I was drawn there by some invisible force. I spent quite some time in there.

Firstly, I found something pleasing to the eyes. Jolin's Myself Pre-Order Version B - What I Want. One of the Jolin albums which I lacked in my collection. Didn't get it back then because I thought it will be a waste of money. I regretted.

Well the only difference is the free bag inside though. But oh well. :)

I didn't bring my Jolin CD with me to Hong Kong. Unexpectedly, I still get to hear her voice there. Ever since I swapped to her disc in Hong Kong, I've been listening to it till I came back to Singapore. Haha.

Next, I was searching like mad at the books section for Ella Koon's Yuan Lai Ni (原来妳). Imagine searching for a Chinese book among seas of Chinese book and your reading skills is only so-so. I even went up to ask the person at the cashier; they asked me to write the title of the book. I was like o.o. *Thinks in my head* "I... Can't really remember how to write it."

Ended up I wrote the wrong word for the first letter, oh well, they didn't manage to find it in their database anyway. The book's about a year old and she isn't some mega pop star either. Apparently, JOLIN'S NEW BOOK IS EVERYWHERE. I'm so tempted to buy it, but I've already pre-ordered it from the fan club. Do not wish to spend unnecessary money.

After buying Jolin's album, I happily stuffed it in my bag (it costed way more than 2 albums I bought yesterday 公主啊公主) and I was called up for breakfast. They finally got their seat in the restaurant. Hong Kong's food wasn't exactly appetising to me. I still couldn't get pass the oily barrier. And they ordered Dim Sum too. So I ate quite little.

After breakfast, we went shopping a little. It was my mother's turn for her shopping spree. I was like uh huh, okay, this looks nice. But at the last minute, I got myself an Adidas shirt, and a random pair of Adidas socks. ❤

They went for dessert. I wasn't attracted to sweet things so I got myself a cup of corn soup at Mos Burgers instead. I "huh" at the counter twice before the cashier realised I couldn't understand Cantonese and spoke English to me instead. I don't look foreigner enough to you? (A)

We overstayed at that shopping center for quite some time. So we quickly took a cab to a museum that they wanted to go.

Afternoon

We reached the museum in the nick of time before it closes at 5pm. The museum showcases old rooms back in the olden days of Hong Kong. Apparently this house belonged to Hakka people, my ancestor? I got a bit of spooky feeling when I went in room after room. Or it's just my imagination?

Other than that, there were objects on display. That room was air-conditioned and brightly lit. I took photographs only of those that were interesting to me. My camera wasn't used much for these past 2 days.

Olden day books were interesting to me. It's more of the Chinese words though. I find traditional Chinese words extremely beautiful.

And photographs of the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland is interesting to me! Because it's Disney? XD

After the museum, the others headed back by taxi to the hotel. We weren't able to fit into one taxi because of the number of people travelling, and there wasn't 2 consecutive taxis together, so me and my mother decided to head back by public transport. Besides we have been travelling by the MTR for a few days.

And one more thing. Taxi rides in Hong Kong wasn't pleasant to me. The taxi drivers in Hong Kong wasn't exceptionally friendly, unlike those in Singapore. Coincidentally we found a small shopping center right beside the MTR station so we walked for a bit.

It was the last chance for me to search for the book I wanted. So my mother was sort of accompanying me looking at CD stores and book stores. Nothing was found in the end. And we headed back to the hotel since it's nightfall soon, and they were intending to head to another location for dinner.

Right at the hotel's MTR station, I spotted an ice cream truck. It was playing some cute melody. I wanted one and my mother got it for me.

I recalled I haven't take a photo of Eeyore in the hotel yet so I took it. I previously did the same thing when I brought Eeyore on a cruise. Well technically he's free, I just need to stuff him in my bag.

I had a light teabreak of spicy seafood Nissin cup noodles back at the hotel. And it was shared among several people because the aroma aroused everyone's hunger. So there goes about half of my cup noodles?

Night

Next, we headed to Mong Kok if I didn't remember wrongly. The place looked like some night market. Like the night life of Hong Kong. I liked it pretty much. Because there's so much to see on the streets and it was spacious enough to walk, unlike one of the Taiwan night market I have been to.

We went to a local cafe for dinner after searching for a decent place for food for a long time. Despite the food being oily as usual but I enjoyed it pretty much, at least the rice and the steamed vege isn't oily. And it's curry too! I ordered extra soup as well. :)

I saw a board that caught my attention when we were searching for the restaurant, but I didn't pause to take a photo of it because they seemed to be walking pretty fast. So after dinner, I was excitedly pointing at the direction that we came, telling them that I want to go back there again. I remembered the direction despite being a direction sense fool!

But we stopped at some shirts stand and bought a couple of cheap shirts. I was pretty hyper by then so basically when I see something I like, I just say "I want!" and I got a number of shirts for free, a treat by my aunty.

Finally, we were back at the place where I saw the board. I have been looking at advertisement boards ever since the first day I landed in Hong Kong, hoping to find someone I like on them. I recalled seeing 2 Jolin advertisement on the TV, one's Whisper, the other's Koobee.

Ella Koon's boards. Hee hee. :]

Oh yah, I know who's above. That's Rainie Yang.

A closer zoom up. :]

Acting like a small fan. There isn't much hardcore fans in Hong Kong, everybody seems so busy with life to bother about such stuffs.

Hee hee. Another one as we walked further. :]

The previous one was a bit dark so I zoomed out. I just noticed there was another smaller Ella Koon poster on the walls in the shop. :]

Okay. Imma happy now. Back to the shopping story.

We stopped at Crocs, I got myself a pair of Hello Kitty shoes. I was too hyper, and someone made me attracted to Hello Kitty stuffs for some weird reasons. We stopped at Bossini and Giordano too. Didn't got any stuffs afterwards.

Except my cousin who got an ice cream treat from me because I was very happy. And she found child size socks to match with the new Adidas shoe she bought. I think I'm a little mad now. Hee hee. I even saw Alice in Wonderland shirts in Mong Kok. A pity I didn't like the cloth material and the cutting of the shirt didn't suit me.

I spotted another CD shop at Mong Kok and I went there. Invisible force drawing me you see. I found the 2 CDs I bought at HMV, and what do you know, HMV is way cheaper. Unbelieving. So next time you wanna get any CDs from Hong Kong, get it from HMV, it is not a rip off.

I spotted another Ella Koon magazine as well, this time it's a weddings magazine. But it's too thick and kinda expensive. As well as my habit of reading and putting it there. But I think I got some images of it online afterwards.

Near Midnight

We spent a long time outside, maybe because it's the last day of free roaming. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is our Disneyland trip!!!

So this will be the last time I'll be taking Hong Kong MTR, I've got some pictures which I've taken shyly with my handphone camera. Hong Kong MTR's pretty much the same as Singapore but I feel it's much faster.

Not to mention it's awesome. Why? Because there's shops INSIDE the MTR station and there's toilet too. Shops include 7-eleven, food shops, clothes shops, bookstore, ATM too, ... So that means I can eat and drink there as long as I'm not on the platform. Long journey of walking when we were transferring were accompanied by those shops, unlike the cold walls in Singapore's MRT.

And I recalled laughing really badly on the 2nd day when I first board it. Because they will repeat the next station 3 times in 3 different languages, Cantonese, Chinese and English. The English version of the stops is just a rip off from the Cantonese word. At least Singapore took the effort to translate it.

So here's the station. The station looked different for different lines. This line is less crowded and so I dared to take out my camera.

Inside the MTR. No Michelle (my youngest cousin), I didn't mean to take you but thanks for looking at the camera.

The station names in Chinese, or should I say, Cantonese? I couldn't read quite a number of words. :/

And lastly the chair.

It's a long post, a long day. Let's make it a wrap. Day 4/5 will consists lots of Hong Kong Disneyland photos. Till then.

Running Dream

2011-10-30T18:37:00.004+08:00

I'm going to do a short recollection of yet another dream I had. They said it's good to jot down dreams you have. This one is rather unique to me. Because it seems that everybody had running dreams so often, it's one of my rather uncommon dreams.

It happened yesterday so it's rather vague to me now. Basically I was among a crowd, all of a sudden, we were the targets of officers although we did nothing wrong. The most we did was refusal of doing something, or forgetting to do it.

So I was running and turning at corners smoothly, at amazing speed too I must say. It might be because of the games I played recently, an action running game, and an action/horror/strategy game that scared the hell outta me when I was playing it.

Finally when my energy was drained and I was tired of running, I entered an amusement park. I noticed the officers were still searching for me there. I saw a train ride in the amusement park. I paused for a moment and considered my chances. Afterwards, I stepped passed the queuing barrier, stood still, closed my eyes and waited for the train.

The train passed and nothing happened. I opened my eyes. With a slight feeling of disappointment. I made my body laid horizontal on the barrier, with head area on one side of one barrier, and legs area on the other side of another barrier, beneath me were the train tracks. The train passed me, and nothing happened again. My legs were not even injured.

And so I continued running, legs perfectly normal as before. Somehow due to some fortunate turn of events, I managed to turned into a corner and the officers lost sight of me. And I was searching for people. Anybody.

I found a group of people in a car and I tagged along. From then onwards, I threw my identity away. If anybody asked me anything, I would either not respond or I would speak very slowly with short sentences (respond consists of "Pika" only). I recalled seeing an image of a Pokeball before I started speaking that way.

Hong Kong Trip Day 2 Part 2

2011-10-27T02:42:00.004+08:00

Afternoon
Let's pick up the story from the shopping center. Actually the question that is more interesting at the shopping center was what were my family doing when I was doing a CD hunt at HMV?

I have no idea where they were as I combed the shopping center, hoping to find more shops like HMV with treasures for me to loot. There was an Ella Koon magazine at HMV which looks appealing but I didn't bought in the end because I know magazine usually ends up with read once and put there scenario for me.

So there wasn't any more "interesting" shops to me except for a Marks and Spencer I found. And I bought 2 chocolate lollis, one for me, one for my cousin. :)

After combing the lower levels of the shopping center, I headed up and found my mother. She told me my cousin was at some children activity at the shopping center because there was a stage performance going on. Ooo... Talking about coincidences in life.

So I went up a little and found them. I went to say a quick "Hi" and continued searching. Umad? Yes. >:D

Blah, blah, blah. And then stomachache. So I headed to the toilet and there was like 2 woman in front of me, probably from China because she was speaking so loud I could hear every word clearly. She was saying the toilet here is very clean.

When I walked in, I was like, "Wow!". It's true, it's really clean.

Fast forward to the part where I handed the chocolate lolli to my cousin, I don't know what happened. She dropped it on the floor when she was unwrapping it. Too excited perhaps? Then she was sulking at it so my mother told me to share my chocolate lolli with her.

She took a small bite probably because she was feeling guilty and her younger sister took a whooping big bite. I was like *stares* at my chocolate lolli. Ended up I didn't ate much. She retreated me with another chocolate lolli, not as great as my Marks and Spencer's, but it's better than nothing. ;)

And that concludes the shopping center. So now moving on to more random walking!!!

Let the pictures do the talking. :)

Look who I saw?

Myolie Wu

Hong Kong's really great. You can see famous artistes just by randomly walking around. I wanna go there again!!! She's currently filming with other artistes. They all look awfully familiar but I only remember her and another girl. And we were allowed to take photo too, just no flash and no loud noises that's all. :)

Selena Li

I remembered her from "Survivor's Law II". Took me a while to recall though.

But I had to leave after a few minutes because apparently I was the only one interested in that. We were searching for "The Peak" at that time and I seriously had no idea what they were intending to do. We even took the local tram train and made a round to experience it.

What I like most? The chair, the breeze and the scenery on the tram train.

And there was yet another commotion brewing. Happening Hong Kong.

Seems they were protesting. For what issues I have no idea but everyone's curious.

But I guess this poster says all. No way would we say anything like this in Singapore out loud!

I spotted a Ding Tai Fung when I was on the tram (the same restaurant in Singapore) and I said I want that for dinner. Finally a satisfying one after one day of weird meal. I ate a lot, one bowl of noodle plus lots of side dishes. X3

I unwrapped Ella Koon's "Take A Shine To..." because I was curious after dinner and placed it in my CD player.

So now off to The Peak! We were pretty lost but we managed to find it eventually. My legs were tired too and I didn't like the crowd who's queuing for the ticket one bit because it's squeezy and hot.

Night

Hee hee. Eeyore showcase time!

Eeyore sitting on the handrail on "The Peak". I was afraid he will fall down so I only took 3 shots. The first one was too dark, this was the second one.

And that's the 3rd to show the scenery at the back and I wasn't lying when I said he's sitting on high grounds. Although what's exactly behind him wasn't a "bottomless pit". I wouldn't even die if I dropped from that height but I don't want him to get "hurt".

My cousin, Joelle. I wanted to take the scenery behind but I was too lazy to move and she happened to be there. Oh well, Smiles~

After that, I wanted to do more shopping because I wanted more loot but the others weren't keen. So my mother accompanied me for a while but as we realised most shops were closing, we headed back pretty fast. But somehow I got myself 2 new shirts on the way because I saw a doggy shirt!

I collect doggy shirts! :D

Taking the tram down "The Peak", me likes the glowing gears at the back.

Yup. The train coming up and that concludes my second day there.

Hmm although I recalled looking intensively at the new CD's lyrics book, and my aunty came into our room to use our hairdryer. I had no respond though cause I thought she was my mother. Only after the CD played finished then I realised she was there. Grandma was saying something like that's me when I'm with my CD.

That's me. The over serious Carrot.

Hong Kong Trip Day 2

2011-10-27T01:53:00.005+08:00

Day 2 of Hong Kong trip consists of walking around, or let's say randomly walking around. I have no idea where they were intending to go except for shopping center locations and "The Peak" in Hong Kong.

We weren't following tour groups so we were heading to places by ourselves, with public transport and at our own pace, exactly what I liked. Slow and steady wins the race! The fun of travelling consists of getting lost too!

So I realised Hong Kong was a pretty good place to go for a short relaxation trip on your own, but the least you'll need is the ability to read Chinese words and someone whom can understand decent Cantonese. I couldn't get what they were speaking most of the times.

Morning

The Day started with us heading to nearby places from the hotel to eat. We randomly picked one shop in an attempt to try local delights. Ended up the thing that I liked most from our order was the Char Siew and Soya Bean Milk. Hong Kong's wanton mee wasn't up to my standard apparently. Bitter, oily and not enough chili!!! Clementi's wanton mee tasted way better! Or maybe it was just that store... ._.

The worst thing was we seemed to have been scammed by the stall owners because the price was ridiculously high. And for a non-satisfying breakfast too. So non-satisfying breakfast + non-satisfying dinner the previous night = Non-satisfied stomach. :(

Afternoon

Lunch was... Lunch was... What the hell was lunch exactly? I can't remember. Oh wait. I recalled. Lunch was at a local Macdonald because we were still full from our heavy breakfast. Despite being not tasty, the serving was extremely big. Macdonald means more oily food for my displeased stomach. So I probably only ate a couple of fries while emo-ing and listening to my CD.

Afternoon includes lots of randomly walking around on our own. I dumped too many things in my bag and the weight is hurting my shoulders. Plus the weather wasn't ideal and there were inconsiderate people smoking on the streets. The biggest problem was my legs weren't used to walking so they get tired easily.

I suggested to go to a shopping center so that the temperature will be more pleasant and there wouldn't be smokers around.

And that marks the start of my shopping spree!!!

I've already had a list of things to buy in my mind, CDs, Books, Magazines if I spotted those that I like on the cover...

Conveniently there was a HMV at the shopping center that I chose. And I noticed afterwards that there were only a few location with HMV in Hong Kong. Lucky me! :)

HMV wasn't expensive in Hong Kong surprisingly. Probably because I was buying Hong Kong's artiste CDs and there wasn't the import fee or probably because there's no GST in Hong Kong. And there could be even more reasons which will lead to political issues which I have no intention to say.

I found a new CD that I want straight away. But unhappy with my one CD loot, I searched seriously, one by one at the old CDs sections and finally found another one which I want!

Oh wait did I mention I told the adults I wanted to walk on my own in the shopping center? I couldn't possibly expect my mother to stare at me as I search for the CDs with an attempt to dig out old hidden treasure.

This is what I found!

Ella Koon's new album "Take A Shine To..." and her old album "Stages". Both couldn't be found in Singapore. So it was a fruitful day for me. Although I was hoping to find more but that's enough for now. :)

Why Singapore no import Ella Koon's new album???

She went to Malaysia recently for an autograph session too. Singapore just next door? But she didn't came. I'm guessing either it's too expensive here or because she doesn't have a fan base here. Let's hope more people will recognise her talents in the near future.

Ella Koon's New MV "由他去" (Let Him Be)

Ella Koon is a humble, cheerful and pretty girl whom can sing, play instruments and compose her own songs. More information here: http://www.ella.asia/bio/

I would like to do a dictation here but Jolin will get jealous. *Jokes* Actually I don't want my long paragraphs of words to scare people away. So I guess that short info will do, I keyed in enough keywords for it, so please appear in Google Search! :D

Hong Kong Trip Day 1

2011-10-27T01:06:00.010+08:00

I'm in a mood to type today. Let's recall something that happened more than a month ago, on the 2nd of September. I was at the airport in the evening, feeling hungry and tried. I didn't sleep the day before because I was preparing for my portfolio submission.

Somehow I felt inner peace and calm. I had been to the airport a couple of times (without flying) these few years and happy memories linger there.

The floors and the glass reminded me of something.

As I was looking at it I recalled the time when Jolin left Singapore after her 5 days stay here, telling us to leave as we made our last journey as a knight during her stay in Singapore where we waited at the airport for her to send her off.

Followed by silently looking at her and her sister's back view as they walked and disappeared behind the walls. We had our sufficient share of waving that day though. :)

I paused at this location for a moment and it struck me that I've seen it before. We were sending F.I.R. off at that time and I awkwardly took a group photo with them.

So ended up I didn't eat anything as promised by the adults before boarding the plane. What can I say? The food at the airport is way too expensive!!! I was at terminal 3 by the way. And food on the airplane took long enough to serve too.

I didn't take the headphones when the air stewardess were giving out because I thought my headphone would work. Apparently, the plug didn't fit in. So... I went Zzzz.... But in fear of missing my food when it was served, I was half Zzzz-ing...

My cousins' meal came pretty fast though. And I was envying them. Why do kids get serve first? Next time I'm going to stuff myself silly before I board the plane! *Rage*

My meal came after hours and the serving wasn't ideal. There's bread though, which is supposed to make you feel more full but bread isn't an ideal dinner to me when I am very hungry. I ordered pasta by the way and I was like om nom nom nom. So when we finally landed in Hong Kong, I made my way to a nearby 7-eleven and bought instant noodles.

Somehow I was stuck with this full but not satisfied feeling and it carries on...

Talking about the hotel. It was SUPER BIG! And I have one queen size bed to myself. Hee hee. Nicely designed too. In my moment of relaxation, I totally forgot to snap a photo of it. And the first thing I did when I went there was to check whether was there internet connection and made a fb post to my friend.

I brought my laptop with me. To use it as a talisman to calm myself down and withdraw that black face of mine when something happened and it wasn't according to my plans. Ended up it was bulky but I enjoyed hugging it. ♥

Was pretty addicted to fb back then because of the fb games I was playing, namely MapleStory Adventures and The Sims Social. The Sims Social died because I had way too little friends and it relies too heavily on friends. MapleStory Adventures just died on its own when a friend owned me at friend's ranking. I was 1st for a couple of weeks YA KNOW?

I belong to that 5% of girls gamer who play as a male character. :3

I might just have a lucid dream

2011-10-14T18:32:00.007+08:00

Our thought recall process is very weak, regardless we are conscious, sub-conscious, or unconscious at that time. The moment someone breaks it with a causal conversation, you might forget it, unless you were focusing on it so hard for the past few minutes.

Since it is by the far the most "curious" incident I had in a dream. I decided to jot it down. The dream details are going to be short and sweet. I can't guarantee that for the explanations.

I was in a dream with Jolin walking beside me, suddenly a thought went through my head, I was telling myself, since it is a dream I might as well do something more than tagging beside her. And I reached up to grab hold of her hand and held it cross fingers style (maybe a bit forcefully).

No the main focus is not that I held her hands, the main focus is that I was actually aware, only for a split second though that I was in a dream.

It could have happened due to a few possibilities though. I am more aware of my conscious, sub-conscious or/and unconscious state(s). I am more aware of dreams, aware of dreams doesn't mean I know dreams exist, it means I have figured that I can make myself dream of a certain thing (mostly person/group of people) if I kept thinking about it for the whole day.

The last explanation is because I know that I kept dreaming of Jolin, thus my unconscious took it and used it in the dream. That sounds more logical though. Unless I can prove that lucid dreaming can happen for a split second.

Plus I have been wanting to say, I have been dreaming everyday nowadays. Even if the dream is vague or I barely can recall even the slight details, I knew I had dreamt. This make me pondered, did dreams always occur when I was young too when I kept wishing I had more dreams? Just that I wasn't aware enough to take note of it.

Someone told me that she kept dreaming of her idol too, I wondered how true it is, or it's fabricated. Because I know it is not easy to continuous dream of the same thing/person every night. Unless you have the same powers as me. ;)

Want to try it? Just think of that person for the whole day, he/she will come to meet you in your dreams. I am not sure how successful that is though, but just think of it so hard that nothing else matters to you in the world, it might happen. All the best. :)

It's Pointless

2011-09-18T03:05:00.011+08:00

to get angry... But

I don't even know how to describe my feelings in words.

I have no idea where to start. One thing's for sure. I'm in a rage now.

This is RIDICULOUS. From constantly getting a C to a F?

You're trying to form my name in Chinese???

No matter how badly I did as a programmer, I'm pretty sure I did not fail as a Games Designer. So if other people in my course mainly taking up only a Games Designer role are getting A and B+, why am I'm getting a F?

Just because they managed to find a capable programmer, artist and modellor???

Even the best programmer among all the other flash groups scored a C+!!!!!!!!

In order for me to pass my FYP, I need to constantly score C for the rest of the other interim reviews. HOW IS THAT EVEN HUMANELY POSSIBLE WITH MY CURRENT SCRIPTING STANDARD???

Lols I'm so angry, I need to double check my language so many times. It's getting hilarious.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I might as well just rage quit.

EDITS:

I'VE HAD ENOUGH

Make your own games, you worthless turd.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm feeling fine already.

Okay back to normal language, so yesterday I came up with a brilliant idea. I send the lecturer who told me that I didn't do well (oh sorry F is not "didn't do well" it's a FAIL) back a mail giving reasons why I should not have failed.

Apparently he didn't get it, he gave me back a reply that's not even a reply to the things that I have asked.

I was feeling peaceful the whole day, fishing in RuneScape, chatting with my friend about how unfair the way we were graded and watching show till I saw his mail. Dang, I shouldn't have visited my mailbox in the middle of the night, it's a bad omen.

Anyway, during my discussion with my friend, we realised that ALL groups who were making flash games did not do well, instead there are jokers scoring C and B just because they used unity instead of flash.

So I'm going to fight till I'm satisfied with the results, if not I will just quit school. Do not get soft heartened and moan why I did not quit when I have the chance when I fail my FYP.

My Birthday Present Came In Two Months Late

My best friend's birthday present came in 1 day late, my birthday present came in 2 months late.

I met up with Li Yi today to pass her the Stitch Cushion I got for her from Hong Kong Disneyland. And wishing her "Happy Birthday" too. I was surprised to hear a "Happy Belated Birthday" from her. That came in 2 months late.

Since she didn't get me anything for my birthday (we haven't celebrated it together for a long time because we are both lazy...), she decided to treat me to lunch at IMM. IMM again, the same place where I got treated during my birthday 2 months back.

Yes, I'm one non-eager person about my birthday, I didn't mentioned anything about it at all?

We left someone out during the celebrations and had a yogurt cake all to ourselves. (Because that someone was at uni camp)

And so I told Li Yi about it and she wanted to try it too. Somehow it turned to a slice of a Secret Recipe Cake which probably worth more in value. Pecan Butterscotch Cake. I swore I saw Peanut Butterscotch cake instead.

After the cake, we walked aimlessly around IMM, in hope of passing time as well as chatting about old things new happenings, spider powder, and our failed attempts at going to Genting in a Sampan after years of discussion.

What can I say?

Talking crap with Best Friend made my day! ^^

Achievement on 9.15

Yes, I screenshot this off from my previous entry because I couldn't think of a better background and layout. And that's probably my highest number of "retweets" (转发) from any weibo post.

Glad there are other fans out there who agrees with what I said. So hopefully with that lil amount of retweets, I might be lucky enough to get her attention. Thanks to my friend who helped me with the first retweet! :)

Willows! What happened to you?

2011-09-14T19:39:00.005+08:00

You used to be so cute.

Before:

After:

What in the world happened to you???

All these rare images of a non bot world in RuneScape were captured after the fortunate event of a system update. So don't panic during a system update. Sit back, relax, and wait for the bots to vanish!

RuneScape Lobster Cooking

2011-07-16T04:00:00.002+08:00

My friend gave me 10k raw lobsters several months ago, I recalled burning a few and eating a few up by accident, and the result of cooking 10k lobsters is...

Wow! 9994 left.

And my cooking level improved from "burning a few lobsters" to "pro lobster chef".

This is how much I earned...

From selling the willow logs I chopped so that I can use it to cook the lobsters. Beats running to the stove although I was limited to 26 lobs per inventory.

I didn't intend to chop that many initially, but I happened to log in after a RuneScape update, causing all the bots to log out, and making it a pleasing training environment with little players.

After waiting for some time, few minutes perhaps, I got my money and the amount is rather shocking. Thanks to my friend who said he'll give the cooked lobsters to me for free! ^^

Total amount of money earned.

Haven't thought of what I'm going to spend it on yet, it's like the feeling of suddenly getting rich without expecting it!

Who am I?

2011-07-14T02:45:00.004+08:00

I think I created a similar post before, I've been asking this question myself many a times.

And recently I chanced upon a forum thread with regards to a secondary four student sending a letter to the ministry telling them that there is something really really wrong with our education system.

Although she might not be 100% correct but I applaud her for her courage.

And so here's a snippet of my really, really long reply with regards to her even longer letter:

"So that comes to the question about the thing primary and secondary never taught me. Or perhaps they thought we were too immature to learn. At the end of the day, the biggest why I have is "Who am I?" Not answered in a scientific way that I'm made up of my organs etc, not answered in a politic way that we're born to serve the nation, help the economic, give birth to more children so the human race doesn't die off.

But "Who am I?", "What's my purpose in this world?", "What are my talents (outside school, outside the normal talents like music and arts)?", "Why am I introvert?", "Why do I act this way?", "Why do I think this way?"

This questions were never answered. Parents had no answer to it. Teachers had no answer to it and send me to a counselor because I had negative thoughts (thanks ah). Counselor had no answer to it instead she flaunt her daughter's magnificent grades to me (You're hinting to me just study and shut up?).

All these weren't answered till I went poly, till I was in contact with philosophy which resulted me in looking up on psychology and horoscope later on in my life. I'm still an amateur at it and I've more to learn. At least for know I know "Who am I". It can't be expressed verbally but I know."

Another snippet from a Forumner's reply "To expect these questions to be answered by the system is something that simply can't be done. These questions require much introspection upon the person to reflect upon him/herself, because the answer can only be found within."

And MY reply is "I agree. But the problem is the education system in primary and secondary school life didn't even give me an opening or a headstart. I've no idea the reason for what went wrong. I was lost. I was depressed. I was negative.

I get thrown back my answer. And they send me to a counselor expecting it will help. But end up at the end of the day, everyone was only concerned about my grades and not how I feel mentally. I believed if something went wrong, just something bad went wrong, I might probably go insane."

This probably can be debated further making it an endless post, but let's just end it here for the time being, besides I haven't got a reply back yet.

It's intriguing to finally get a decent debate in a forum and I'm not getting shoot at yet, hopefully not.

Imperfection is Perfect

2011-07-12T19:29:00.006+08:00

为了一件小事，

纳闷了一整天。

真的只是一件小事，

但我脑却不这么认为。

女神的光辉慢慢散开，

发现她只不过是个有缺点、

有心计、戴着面具演戏的女人。

心里家说面具是

为了保护脆弱的内心，

而掩盖自己的真心。

但面具这东西，

我似乎很少带，

或许都没有，

除非客套话也算。

所以知道自己最尊敬的女神，

也在暗算、计划、报复，

心里头一直告诉自己

“没关系，她也是人。她只不过受了伤。”

始终还是骗不了自己。

人啊，

都需要信仰。

而我唯一的信仰就是她。

就好比世人在先前发现神并不那么完美，

我也发现我的神并不那么完美。

不对。

应该是说是我“想象”的神。

她或许就没存在过。

我只不过借了一个美丽的人，

把她美化、美化再美化。

直到她达到完美的境界。

因为知道自己没有什么机会接近她，

所以完美的概念保留到至今。

答案揭开，我终于被伤得伤痕累累。

仿佛世界斜了一边。

诶，这不就像披萨斜塔吗？

或许这才是现实世界最美丽的一面吧？

不完美才完美，

就好比Venus de Milo失去了双臂，

而得到永生的美丽。

我还有很多需要学习，

对这个世界，对自己的内心世界，

前往属于自己的完美世界，

无论遇到任何波折，它依然完美。

我还是十分崇拜她、爱她，

但我还在接受大家的不完美。

希望十年后，我会觉得现在的自己好“看不开”哦。

Past Quotations

2011-07-10T00:43:00.010+08:00

Yah we all miss the past, don't we?

I just choose to look forward.

Because I found a reason to be happy.

So I don't have to keep praying that

I have the power to keep believing.

“永遠有相信下去的勇氣” - Faye (F.I.R.)

Because there's a person who made me realise

That the world isn't as sad as I thought it is.

“因為[她讓]我相信，這世界還沒有太爛” - 下一站，幸福

其實

“天上的星星千千萬萬顆，只要看懂一顆就夠了

/世上的姑娘千千萬萬個，只要愛上一個就夠了” - 古今大戰秦俑情

These are all past quotations I quoted from people and dramas.

I don't need them anymore,

I just need more time.

Jolin~

2011-07-03T02:04:00.006+08:00

Jolin replied my comment on weibo. I don't know how many comments she scrolled through but... So Happy~ *Twirls*

She posted:

And then I replied:

Few moments later, I saw a reply and a retweet (retweet in weibo comes with the reply function too), and I thought it was just some random passerby then I saw 蔡依林 with the V mark beside it to acknowledge that she is someone with a certain degree of reputation.

The retweet was by a random fan though but it's okay~

I didn't know I could wait till this day, because she had thousand of replies for each of her posts. Sobs. Touched. T.T

"Omg。原來公主有在偷看我們的微博。我還自各發，自各開心。現在笑得麻麻得。謝謝回復。"

Afterwards because I was too happy, I felt numb for I don't know how long. :D

Tweet Tweet Part 2

2011-07-02T21:16:00.010+08:00

I said I had a lot things weighting on my mind which I'm eager to share, you think a post about 2 dramas would be enough? Of course not!

Few hours ago after finish typing part 1 I was able to curb my excitement for a while. But now I can't wait for "Material Queen" episode 4 to show!!! Argh!!!

They're heading towards the more "everyday" side of life in the drama now. Or at least the setting is. I recalled hearing it in one lesson that if we can relate the main character to ourselves, we will enjoy the plot more, or in my case, enjoy the game more.

Hmm, so I've been doing other things as well. Like updating weibo (china version of twitter) too much to the extent that my friend said I'm flooding her homepage. Playing Maple, gah, that's just because my friend is urging me to play and I suddenly felt like spamming keys.

And playing Neopets? :D

Other than playing some really random games on Neopets cause I suddenly felt like playing mini-games after over spamming a seriously hard to level Maple. I also tried playing another kind of game on Neopets which doesn't end the moment you close it, in fact it runs even if you're not playing it.

This's the game.

I think it's a little bit like facebook game, especially after I noticed they implemented the "neocash" thingy to buy better items.

Anyway, the basic idea of the game is to look after your petpetpet (lols such a cute name) and help them in building their own little settlement by ensuring they have enough rest and food (currently mine are sleepy and starving now), as well as resources and perhaps a few little cute buildings too. :)

Oh wait, what else was I playing? I remembered, a Chinese game. Hahaha!

This is a drama, known as Chinese Paladin. The drama is adapted from the game that I'm playing now.

I recalled watching it on channel 8 when I was in secondary school. It was a pretty memorable show to me but I think I watched it in bits and pieces, that's why my memory of it was in bits and pieces too.

So I asked my friend to help me download the show and I rewatched it again. I finished it recently (finally after a long long time) because I stopped halfway. The reason for stopping, I knew one of my fave character in the show is going to die soon so I was afraid to watch it any further. Turns out the soon isn't as soon as I thought it would be.

This is the final episode of the show.

I recalled the very reason why I didn't bought the VCD for this show was because it had a sad ending. Back then, me and my friend were discussing about it. I said that Xiao Yao shouldn't have let Ling Er die, he should tell her to live on. I thought he didn't love her a lot.

But my friend was saying that because he loves her a lot, that's why he doesn't want Ling Er to suffer anymore, that's why he urged her to pass on. After rewatching it, near the end of the final episode, Xiao Yao asked a question, "Do you understand?"

At that time, finally, after so many years, I finally understand his actions.

Love isn't about possession after all.

Love is about not letting the one you love suffer.

The show was really touching, so I couldn't just let it end here and it took me a lot, a lot of effort to find a playable version of Chinese Paladin 1 game. Finally I found it and with virtual clonedrive, it was playable. :)

Screenshot of Chinese Paladin 1 Game

When I first launched it, I "wowed" at the graphics. Thinking that it was really awesome for a 1995 game. Haha, blur me, I was actually playing the XP version so it wasn't that old, but nonetheless the graphics are good.

If anyone were to try playing it, you have to make sure you like the story more than the gameplay, after all there's a lot of Chinese words to read. Haha.

One segment of the story which actually happens both in the show and the game. And they "literally" showed it. The part when after Xiao Yao and Ling Er married, they went into their room and... Okay well, it was actually just a hug and next morning in the game but they showed it in graphics at least.

Ling Er looks pleasant both in the show and in the game. :)

Yue Ru's concept art in the game.

Hmm, I think Ady An makes a better Yue Ru because her character really stood out in the show. But I like the way Yue Ru attack in the game, her normal attack hits all enemies.

But Ling Er is still ♥.

Okay so show, and game, and more show and game. What else?

Ah huh! Gym!

I've been going to gym quite recently these few months. Been trying to keep it at once a week but things just cropped up here and there with random holiday, expected friend's birthday and irritating presentation.

But there was a gym in the random holiday that I went. It was on a cruise and the gym is decently nice and quiet.

So we set it on every Friday. Need to keep fit after 2 years in this bloody course with excess staring of the computer screen. And after yesterday gym + swimming session, my muscles are aching but I kinda like that feeling. ^^

Tweet Tweet

2011-07-02T19:43:00.006+08:00

Social networking sites like twitter and facebook, etc are not very helpful in terms of storing memory. Because it's so easy to get over few hundred posts, mainly because of the word limit, and the things vary from posting random stuff to replying friends to sharing what others had posted.

So I came back to blogger again with lots of things weighting on my mind at the moment...

I gave up on Taiwan dramas N months back because they hadn't produced anything decent, mainly switching to Hong Kong dramas and Japanese animes, and some random English movies that I suddenly remembered.

But recently 2 shows caught my attention and they are pretty good. :)

Material Queen

(Starring: Vanness Wu & Lynn Hung)

It was a weird coincidence that I'm actually watching this show. I saw it appearing in the upcoming drama list and I recognised the main actor, but I was like, "Hey, who's this girl?" and so left it at the back of my mind ever since.

But then on one night, after finishing one episode of "Love Keeps Going", I was bored and it was too early to sleep. So I moved on to "Material Queen", thinking that I probably would just watched the first 5-10 min of the drama or so.

However, the contents of the drama caught me by surprise and it was actually pretty good. Taking note that the first 2 episodes were actually filmed in Paris and they got a fashion designer to help them in styling. No wonder I felt that the whole scene was extremely well-taken.

The Story:

Lin Chu Man (Lynn Hung) was abandoned by her mother when she was young. At first she was crying and asking her mother not to leave, upon hearing her mother's words her reaction changed immediately. Her mother told her to become rich after growing up so that she wouldn't be poor like who she is now, poor to the extent that she is not able to keep anything with her.

The little Chu Man wiped her tears away and smiled, welcoming the orphanage in front of her as it is able to provide her with daily necessities, unlike the life she lived with her mother. Ever since that day, she lost belief in miracles and accepted the ugly truth of real life much earlier than any kids.

On a Christmas night, a magician appeared beside her window sill, hoping to bring out her true heart for the one last time. She was given a choice between a penny and a hope for her mother coming back. However, she chose the penny, discarding her true heart away, and then, she was laid with a curse - she's unable to say "I love you" unless she meant it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Years passed and she made her mark as a famous model. She was halfway to achieving her goal of becoming rich as she had managed to get a really rich boyfriend who's much older than her and with looks which couldn't be better described than with the word "ugly".

All these doesn't matter to her though, all she's concerned with is "Money", "Power", "Status" and "Fame". She had everything she ever wanted, till she met Prince William Norman whom she thought would be a better choice as he's much younger, richer and handsome.

Little did she knew the Prince William she met was actually a poor student called Cai Jia Hao (Vanness Wu) who's taking up a part time job as a substitute for him. To make matters worst, her current old boyfriend found out and that's "Game Over" for her.

However, Chu Man and Jia Hao were still tangled together even when they thought they will never meet again after the incident. So does that calls for a new chance for her to find her true love?

Okay the synopsis kind of became a summary after I typed it out, well at least I put in the effort instead of copying it straight from a wiki. One curious thing about the drama? The female lead had never acted in any local dramas before, and plus she's from China. So "Material Queen" was probably the first drama that I had seen receiving more comments flaming the actress herself instead of targeting at the plot.

Some commenters commented that her acting had too many extra actions. I agreed with that but somehow at several parts of the drama, her acting was rather good and believing, and plus her beauty so I kind of got past her "many extra actions" acting.

Just give her a chance, after all she acted as "Ip Man's" Wife. So I guess it shouldn't be that bad.

Love Keeps Going

(Starring: Cyndi Wang & Mike He)

The reason I watched this was because I saw it on channel u, the advertisement they showed just make the whole plot even more confusing for me. At the end of the day, the plot was rather simple and I like it for that.

The Story:

Zha Mei Le (Cyndi Wang) transformed from a happy-go-lucky child to a well-mannered and hardworking girl after hearing her parents fighting for her much clever older brother as they were planning a divorce.

Years passed and she grew up, excelling in whatever she did. In fact she picked up a lot of skills, from fixing a car, to bandaging a broken leg. She get to know her boyfriend because of her knowledge in numerous skills.

Her boyfriend's casual talk about opening a bread shop filled with happiness became her goal and she gave up a good job to help him achieve his dream. Things didn't go well for her though, because she was faced with a financial crisis.

Han Yi Lie (Mike He), her boyfriend's well-off brother, refused to lend them a helping hand. On top of that, Yi Lie had a cranky behaviour and he isn't the most pleasant person to chat with.

But Mei Le refused to give up and bugged Yi Lie to sponsor their bread shop. Those two loggerheads sparked off a weird chemistry which might just evolved into another relationship.

Somehow whenever I watched this show, I had the feeling of eating bread but I just can't seemed to find the ideal bread in real life. Eeek, white loaf, white loaf!

Happening Week

2011-06-29T23:13:00.004+08:00

Last week marks the end of my holidays. Straight away after school started, things happened, many things happened.

Like any other typical student, I was rushing work at the last minute. But somehow my rushing took to a larger extent, I practically stayed awake for the whole night on Sunday, except for a short 1 hour nap.

The next day at school...

*Continues working*

And *collapsed at 10am+*

Got called up by the lecturers to check our work in the afternoon and returned with a black face back to my seat shortly afterwards. And so I continued working on my digital prototype, not sure how much progress I could make.

I was thinking I could finish everything by night but guess I was wrong. Cause initially I wanted to rush off to a friend's birthday celebration right after school.

Ended up I sort of finished the digital prototype to a presentable level by evening with the help of my friends. And continued touching up the documentation and finally slowly making our slides.

By the time I finished everything and burned the disc, woots it's near 12am. O.o

And me and my friend rushed to the MRT station in near darkness (who offed the lights???!!!). The gates were locked (very smart move for stopping students from staying till wee hours but that isn't going to work) and so we retaliate with a smart move too.

Because the last train is approaching and we didn't have that much of a time to head to an easier escape route. My friend pointed out that the metal door could be climbed over and he dropped his bag and climbed over.

I passed him his bag, followed by my laptop and my bag. I lifted my leg up and tried to put it in a squarish hole on the door, and then I slowly pulled myself up a door which is nearly double my height. ._.

The door was shaky cause I was struggling too much. And finally with much effort, I was sitting on the top of the door. By then, my friend had picked all the bags up and was preparing to rush to the station.

I knew I don't have much time to waste, and jumped down, 2 feet landed flat on the ground... *Ouch* I could feel the impact coming up from my feet to my thigh but I still had to run nonetheless. We made it to the station in time with 5 min to spare and very injured legs.

When I got home, I got a lashing from my grandma for attempting to climb over the door. But then again, it's fun! :D

One Month & Four Days~

2011-06-11T19:47:00.003+08:00

It's been a month and 4 days since Jolin's concert in Singapore, and now, she's at other countries, continuing doing her best for her world tour. Currently she's at a place which is slightly nearer to us, and I feel at ease because I'm able to sense her aura too.

Tonight is Jolin's Myself Malaysia Concert 2011, 8pm at Stadium Merdeka!

过了一个月，我还以为会和以往一样。

演唱会的N天后，就会很快地把那感觉忘掉。

没想到四年的遗憾，和五天的回忆带来人身中的许多变化。

我现在每天上网第一件事就是会，

查一查公主的twitter和微博。

仿佛想知道她现在过得好不好。

在我视线范围里，都会看到和公主有关的东西。

心。也从未那么清楚过。

就是现在了。

6有11日，晚上7.59分。

骑士们！用剩下的一分钟为公主打气吧！

I'm four cute Sin fans. ^^ (Part 5)

2011-05-19T04:28:00.007+08:00

最后一页了。那就短话说吧（希望）。

但首先，公主很满意我们演唱会的表现。^^

星期天（公主呢？）

说实在的。今天大失败。

没等到公主的出现。我们还从早等到晚。

但值得开心的事就是，某人回国，

而公主那时仍然还在新加坡。

因为她会去参加好姐妹的婚礼。:)

美美美！

红色口红呈现出成熟大方！

星期一（公主回家，我们累坏）

我现在来到机场就感触多多。

在那儿实在有太多美好回忆了。

因为很累，所以去机场时

坐了计程车去。

计程车司机又开始和我闲聊，

问我是不是去旅行，因为我的穿着不像。

我说我去送我的朋友，

他便说我对我的朋友很好，

因为我家的距离离机场很远。

小蔡，看到了吧？

我对你很好，连外人都觉得。

你也一瞬间便成我的朋友。

没法。

跟新加坡大人说我们去追偶像

他们会很反对。

他们根本不明白我们和公主之前

那份说不出来却彼此明白的爱情。:)

等待就不用多说。

从公主来之后发生的事？

工作人员下车先（帮某人check-in吧？）

而公主和姐姐就坐在车里。

我们看着公主那个刚睡醒的样子，

把头发推后然后戴上墨镜。酷耶~

我边看着她，边想把在等待公主时弄乱的魔术方块转好。

因为我不喜欢看着乱乱的东西。

我在和自己唱反调吧？

因为公主一来过后，

我的东西就大乱。T.T

公主下车后。

我和朋友在后头跟着她。

其实我比较像在跟着朋友，

因为看到公主后脑已经不能正常运作了。

但我朋友很机灵，我们就这样走，

然后跟在公主和她姐姐的后头。

中间距离很小，也没人挡住我们。^^

那时第一次看到蔡姐真人，

就疯了。

兴奋说“蔡姐很美，蔡姐很美”，

然后发现依林在前面就说“Shit”。

接下来换话，开始说

“我要（公主）包包上那只毛毛”

没烦到公主吧？._.

对不起，见丑了。

我又自high了。

她们走进Premiere Check-In区后。

在里头坐了差不多15分钟，

我们就足足看她们15分钟。^^

那时还在转还没转成的魔术方块，

结果转完最后一层时，第一、二层却被砖乱。

那就放弃吧。._.

本来看见朋友想拍照，

就跟着她，

结果我们两个最后还是算了。

怎么说这是公主的私人时间，

能这样看着她已经很幸福了。:)

但有横木板，看得有点勉强。

也刚好被蔡姐挡。

但没关系，人家姐姐也很美。

什么话啦！

公主比较美！公主比较美！公主比较美！

后来手续终于办好了。她们开始走进去。

公主离开前还记得转过头向我们挥手！

公主下车时，我们叫她，她好像也有和我们挥手。

就这样结束了吗？还没画下完美句点呢。

我们四个傻瓜用跑的，

为了在公主check-in后能见她多几眼。

我还跑得喘不过气，头贴着玻璃，

向在一楼的公主挥手。

我们还跟着她走，

(她走里面，我们走外面~)

直到她进厕所，再从厕所出来进Premiere Lounge。

我们六个就在玻璃外等她出来。

公主没那么快出来，

但是她的经纪人就不是咯。

他出来我们还向他挥手，

他也挥手回来。:)

结果他买两杯咖啡回来，

我看见他和我们挥手，

我便挥手回去。

他再挥多一次时，不小心上错边（自动扶梯）。

骑士们怪我。Oh well。哈哈哈。

经纪人满可爱吗。

等到差不多一点时，公主终于出来。

那时我们在说，不要挥手，不要像她挥手。

因为感觉已经开始烦到她了。

我们四个真是阴魂不散。

公主走到哪里都碰到我们。哈哈哈。

结果公主自己和我们挥手！^^

然后做了一个让我今生难忘的动作。

她比手势叫我们走（回家吧？），因为她那时正要登机。

然后还在脸旁比耶！

我就在空中比耶回去。因为前面被人挡。

公主那么可爱。怎能不爱她？

跟何况她又叫我们回家。好体贴。^^

我又自high乱跑，他们又说跟公主不要给她看到

因为她已经叫我们走了。

结果我们在后头默默地看她走到消失在人群中。

蔡依林离开后，我们正身酸痛，

因为演唱会很尽力的跳和晃，

所以我和朋友互相irritate对方的方法就是打手臂。

是酸的。好不好？哈哈哈。

接着就去吃很没胃口的早餐，

然后坐地铁去学校继续自high。

蔡依林，我爱你。♥

I'm four cute Sin fans. ^^ (Part 4)

2011-05-19T02:14:00.008+08:00

星期六晚上（Let's Vogue!）

Jolin Tsai Myself Singapore Concert 2011 is about to start!

蔡依林Myself世界巡回演唱会（新加坡站）即将登场！

首先，我要介绍一下我的战友。

我爱Jolin的旗！

(已经被我甩得有点破旧了。哈哈哈。)

还有从没离开过我身旁半步的手环荧光棒！

在演唱会开始前呢，我都会拍几张照。

第一: 是要调整相机的功能。

第二: 就是拍下演唱会开场前的气氛。

我很喜欢“记录”有多少人和我参加同样的活动。

人群数字看起来不错哦。

还有一位DJ帮我们热身。

很明显，无效。新加坡人果然很冷静。

在等待当时，

突然之间被莫名的感动，

可能因为在现场听到DJ播放一小段依林的歌吧，

但最大的原因是因为

好久好久好久没参加公主的演唱会了。

然后就有很想哭的冲动，

眼泪已经在眼角了。

这时我就跟自己说，

不行！

公主待会儿唱的歌都会是快歌，

根本不适合哭，

不要哭不要哭不要哭。

就这样把眼泪吸进去，

继续期待公主的出现。

那时后援会的人都进来了，

一位捧着花的骑士要求和我换位

因为我的位在外头，

方便她出去把花交给依林。

换位后，

后面一个粉丝

(因为她的言行举止根本没展现出骑士精神)

告诉我待会儿别升旗。

我不升旗又怎能帮公主打气呢？

她不只说了一次，还说了好几次。

我就很生气的转过头跟她说，

“Everybody will stand later.”

还重复了三遍。

也太过分了吧？

你怕我挡到你就算了，

你是比较怕我挡住你的录影机吧？

这是你帮公主打气的方式吗？

这个粉丝就放在一边，

我也不想谈了。

在VIP区我看见一个新加坡电视台的艺人，

演唱会当时又不小心留意到她因为刚好知道她是谁。

其实我发现演唱会的过程，

我一直有东张西望，

不只留意到熟悉的新加坡艺人，

还留意到后援会其他骑士在用什么方式打气，

最讨厌的是为什么我留意到我后面那个粉丝，

还担心挡到她呢？

我的内心也太好了吧。。。-.-

好了话不多说，让我们欢迎蔡依林！！！

这是我有生以来拍过最少照片/影片的演唱会。

因为我一直在为蔡依林尖叫！

而我的位子又偏偏在舞台中央。

我们也离舞台很近。

(是个非常好拍照的位子哦)

我发现蔡依林一升上台，

我会是第一个尖叫！

看得实在太清楚了。

诶！刚才不是一直喊累吗？

疲倦呢？不见了耶！因为已经high参了！哈哈哈。

You can handle this!

Can we? ;)

影片反而拍得比照片还清楚。

最近发现的。哈哈哈。

公主唱完后向我们眨眼。

有被电到了吗？;)

我不知道，我已经high到分不清我的情绪。

除了high还是high！

接下来就是演唱会卖点之一，

Double Vouging！

其实演唱会过程有点内疚，

就是没办法帮依林大声呐喊。

因为我的喉咙痛导致的咳嗽满严重。

前面太high一直在尖叫

(甩旗动作没很大因为大家都看起来还满冷静)

所以我似乎都把精力放在尖叫上。

一个不小心，

就咳参，感觉已经快要咳出血了。

我右边的骑士还问我要喝水吗？

但水都喝了七七八八了，

剩下只能靠喉咙糖。

喉咙糖吃了感觉效果不错。就继续呐喊！

依林换了粉红色的衣服唱“Love Love Love”。

喜欢她的表演和舞者有暧昧关系，而舞者通通都是女生！

依林站回舞台中央（我的前面！）

然后轻轻的扭动。很温柔又性感！

公主这个动作很迷人！^^

对呐喊。然后呢。

感觉吃了喉咙糖麻痹喉咙

反而让喉咙再次呐喊时更吃力。

而这就造成我的遗憾，

因为我吃下最后一粒喉咙糖就不敢再乱喊了。

但没关系。因为不久后公主请我们站起来。

我们整体后援会马上站起来，

为她挥动旗、荧光棒、登版。

(相机就算了吧。。。)

我就能尽情甩动旗耶！

我爱Jolin的旗！^^

公主有和我们聊天哦。

我还记得一些。

第一就是让所有后援会的人站起来的话，

“我刚才有在后台偷偷看你们，

你们都好冷静的坐着，

没有人被DJ的音乐影响而开始动~”

那是当然啦。在剩体力，现在才有力气为你尖叫啊！”

公主还试探我们的声音，她要求听到

“尖叫声、呐喊声、欢呼声”。

而我们三声都一样，她就问

“有什么差别啊？但一次要比一次更大声！好不好？”

呼呼。我不能叫太大声。对不起。

还有还有，公主问我们她多久没来新加坡了？

我们回答“两年”。

她却说“四年”。是在指离上一次演唱会的时间吧？

然后公主就问 “你们有长高吗？”

当然有啦。我上一次看你的演唱会是7年前耶！

但无论是四年前或七年前，我都有长高啦！

但请公主别再四年来一次了，好吗？

我已经长不高了！T.T

诶！公主变得有幽默感哦？不错！哈哈。

最后最后，

公主忘了新加坡后援会的名字，

她说只有“依林。。。粉丝团队站起来”。

然后也提到别人说她真人跟电视上不同，

因为没想到矮那么多。

她说“我只有158，但号称185，因为我志气高！”

说得好公主！

其实我们矮但也很聪明哦。

接下来，让我们欢迎超酷的女特务，蔡依林！

哈哈。我很喜欢依林这动作。

在影片里看得到。

特务J是我喜欢的歌之一。

依林也有重新编舞。^^

动一下墨镜的动作很酷！^^

然后特务J就走向我们！

演唱会过了一大半后，因为我咳得太严重，

所以有点尿急。

我乘公主下台，一群不知名的舞者在舞台跳舞时，

跑去厕所。又心急又兴奋。哈。

从厕所跑出来时，

发现依林还没上台，

就松了一口气。

依林过了几秒又马上上台，

我又继续自high当中，

一时没留意旗就拿翻了。哈哈哈。

幸好地方满暗。希望没被依林看到。

不然她应该会额头旁有斜线三条。-.-'''

对。在说我自high吗。

有没有。

High到什么程度呢？

当依林在唱她的经典旧歌时（什么样的爱），

我的旗还在猛晃，仿佛在为她打拍子。^^

后来又喊在自己的节奏上，

很多时候都没和后援会的人一起喊。

他们没在喊的时候，我还像一个疯子

一个人有tempo的在“呼！呼！呼！” 哈哈！

旗更夸张。拿着手的旗还想抄公主跳舞的手动作。

我还记得公主叫我们跟后面的舞者做一样的动作。

两手左边转圈圈、右边转圈圈

左手升、右手升

两手交叉晃。^^

好好玩。现在一个人在家里还会做！

公主的演唱会没有高潮，只有越来越high，

所以到了encore部分我们就一直喊“Jolin!”

有的还喊到声音沙哑。

我们一直叫“Jolin!”，叫了五分钟吧？没断过气！

骑士们都好棒哦！

我在喊的当时真的很想敲前面VIP区的人的头，

叫他们一起叫。他们是最冷静的，一直都坐着。

结果Jolin一蹦上台时，

大家都high翻了！

大伙们都站起来，特别是前面的人！

我在公主之前唱“唯舞独尊”的时候已经把靴脱掉了。

所以大家一兴奋冲向前时，

我是赤脚跳哦！！！

我还记得公主唱的三首歌是 “老虎老鼠傻傻分不清楚。。。美丽极限爱漂亮没有终点追求完美的境界人不爱美天诛地灭。。。Go Go Sister Go Go Brother 爱情大同天下为公！”

Ending是依林在喷水中跳舞，

还向我们喷了不少白纸，

因为我站得很前面我就在前面吃纸咯。哈哈。

因为白纸的关系，尾声时根本看不清楚，

但我看见她下台，在每个人还在尖叫时，

我却高兴的跟她说“Bye! Bye!”

演唱会结束后，我就冲向停车场等待公主。

那时还很high，还和另外一位骑士自high，

说叫公主在停车场在encore多一次！！！

最后，我们又跟踪依林的车，

因为想知道庆功宴场所，

结果追回酒店。

在依林下车的当时，

我们刚下不久，

那时通着电话告诉其他骑士我们的位子的我，

看见依林下车就情不自禁的喊“Jolin!”

我们也不能进去。等了不久，那就回家吧。明天再来。:)

I'm four cute Sin fans. ^^ (Part 3)

2011-05-18T23:39:00.007+08:00

等了七年就为了这一刻，

蔡依林的演唱会我来了！

我应该没说吧？

星期四见到公主后，

星期五就迅速的恢复健康，

什么发烧啊、喉咙痛、感冒通通消失到无影无踪。

原来公主不只带给我

发自内心的笑容

还带给我不一般的意志力。

啊。

星期六在酒店门口等的记忆

开始有点模糊了。

星期六（Let's Vogue!）

昨晚看到某某人的留言

就开心得有点迟睡。

结果，演唱会当天累得可以

心理很害怕晚上没精神为公主呐喊！

因为昨晚朋友再三吩咐，

不能再迟到了哦

结果闹钟一响就马上爬起来。

后来，迟到的不是我，是我的朋友。

我就慢条斯理走去酒店，

去之间还不忘买一大杯可可饮料来冲刺。

公主大约跟昨天一样时间出来吧？^^

但今天因为有一位骑士想交一张卡给公主，

不小心挡住我的视线，

结果害我看不清公主上车。

因为她得挤过那些保护公主的工作人员和保镖。

公主好像是穿着便衣出门

：白色衣服和牛仔裤。

上车后，

还很没默契没抓紧和公主挥手的机会

然后公主挥了一次就没往前看。

直到车正要驾走时，

我猛挥了最后一次。

耶！她看见然后向我挥手。^^

我们今天没追。

买了饮料后，

我就死死地躺在地铁的椅子。

过后我们打算吃晚饭的时候，

我还吃到开始在玩食物。嘿嘿。

一个字：累

但我说过，累有不同的累

累得值得，或不值得。

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

接下来等待进去演唱会场所也是另外一个故事。。。

后援会很早就到场所等待了，

等待的当时也发生了一些记忆点。

首先，

我看见了一位多年

在网上交谈的骑士。

我觉得她有点眼熟，

便过去和她问好。

果然被我猜中！

她是一位印尼的骑士

但近几年搬去马来西亚。

其次，

我还是很累。怎么办。

后援会发给我们一个旗，

又有宣传F1的人发给我们一扇风扇。

我一开始用风扇扇风。

但后来开始混乱，

那旗来扇风。O.O

后来又因为我们又拿旗又拿扇

所以有几个人过来拍照。

两岸合璧的力量~

认识我的人，

就找一下站在中间“依”板后面

的那个矮小的人吧！哈哈哈！

最后，

好。这个严重。

因为后援会的人一直在等蔡姐来，

为了拿他们预购的Oops! J货。

而蔡姐第一次来场地的时候，

忘了拿货，又回去酒店，

所以大家都等了不少时间。

我已经开始心急又不耐烦。

他们一直说，

想进去的都能先进去

但大家都没动

我又怎能没骑士精神的一人先走进去呢？

就闷闷的等，

等到演唱会差不多要开始(7.48pm++)

他们就说有背包的人先进去吧

因为要检查背包。

我就问周围没在等货的骑士，

要先走吗？因为他们也看起来有点心急。

我们就先进去，

那时心理就一直在念

“等了7年好不容易看到的演唱会，

要是迟到的话。。。>:@”

我赶紧走进去，

为了预防万一，

我还得赶去厕所先。。。
