"Lil Susan Boyle?" On Britain's Got Talent 2009?? Hollie Steel - I Could Have Danced All Night

Once again, dun, DUN judge someone on the first look.

The President's Command Performance

I am glad I sat through the show. In fact I felt that it was much better that National Day parade.

Sigh I love being a Singaporean. Never would I dream to be born in another country.

今年我二十二

二十二

春天是他最爱的季节 当微风随意吹乱他的头发
他并不在意身边世界的吵杂 只想著自己生命中的变化
还有十五分钟才午休 从早到晚没有想像中那么好过
安定的日子不一定就是幸福
忘不掉他在心里做过的梦

他今年农历三月六号 刚满二十二
刚甩掉课本 要离开家看看这世界
却发现许多烦恼要面对
oh yeah

他常会想望能回到那年他一十二
只需要好好上学生活单纯没忧愁
他就像一朵蓓蕾满怀希望

九月天气还是有点热
他想公车再不来就走一走路
他开始明白等待未必有结果
一个人也能走上梦的旅途

他今年农历三月六号刚满二十二
刚甩掉课本要离开家看看这世界
却发现许多烦恼要面对
oh yeah

他常会想望能回到那年他一十二
只需要好好上学生活单纯没忧愁
他一直满怀希望

人生偶尔会走上一条陌路
像是没有指标的地图
别让他们说你该知足
只有你知道什么是你的幸福

他常会想望能回到那年他一十二
只需要好好上学生活单纯没忧愁

他笑著想过未来
他应该得到幸福
如此的简单的梦有没有实现

今年二十二的我，如同陶喆所唱的，将甩掉课本看看这世界， 却发现许多烦恼要面对。十二岁时，不停想要长大。到了二十二，常会想望能回到那年他一十二， 只需要好好上学生活单纯没忧愁，只需要每天向往着下午一点敲钟，回家。现在的我，处于读书和工作之间的界线。读书，让我喘不过气。但看着班上和我挨过三年的朋友，不仅害怕未来是否能遇到这么单纯的友谊。

大家常把二十一，当作成长的指标。殊不知二十二，才是人生真正的转捩点。没有生日派对，只有毕业，开始工作的二十二，也许才能真正构成往后珍贵的回忆。

不是笨，是厌倦。

男人有时是很笨的，他们往往不能够明白女人的心意。
分手的时候，你哭着说：
“我以后也不想再见到你，你给我滚！”
他听了，就真的滚。
他搂抱着你，你推开他说：
“你放手！你不要碰我！”
他竟然真的放手。
你说：“我不想再听到你的声音！”
他真的不敢再打电话给你。
你说：“我们分手吧，以后再也不要一起了。”说这一句话的时候，你看似决绝，其实也不是那么决绝的，只要他再求你，你也许会心软。然而，他垂头丧气地回去之后，便真的不敢再找你。他以为你真的要分手。
因为他不再找你，你也不肯找他，你们便真的分手了。

是真的笨吗？还是，男人已经厌倦了女人的游戏，终于了解到，也许不可能和这类女人共度终生。

早一点认清这一点，何尝不是一种幸福。

只愿，你早日找寻到你应得的幸福。

First Show's song that that I really like...

搞笑 - 羅志祥

那一条牙膏 在对我傻笑
嘲笑我永远用不掉
想睡就睡 想闹就闹
好快乐少了人唠叨

蓝色的碗盘 多买了一套
我忘了没人陪我通宵
要多少替代的丑角
无辜的陪笑
才会让我能真的忘了你的好

我在搞笑 藉着热闹 掩盖着心跳
边哭边笑 偏要说着 一个人真好
当人群散了 突然觉得我可以死掉 我受不了

还在搞笑 害怕回家 不知怎麽熬
这麽多年 早就习惯 有你的撒娇
我想我能熬 但是至少要让我知道 你好不好

我们的小狗 食量变好小
眼神里常常显得无聊
它习惯睡觉的床尾 少了一双脚
所以它常常看着门口睡不着

我在搞笑 藉着热闹 掩盖着心跳
边哭边笑 偏要说着 一个人真好
当人群散了 突然觉得我可以死掉
我受不了

我在搞笑 却在醉后 眼泪拼命飙
你的离开 失去多少 我计算不了
忙完了一天 突然觉得又何必辛劳 对谁炫耀

还在搞笑 是否拥有 麻痹的疗效
唱一夜歌 却避不开 催泪的曲调
我彻夜胡闹 希望听到有人会提到 你好不好

Think this is the first song that I really like of 羅志祥. I didn think that it was sang by him when I first heard it, cos I thought he couldn handle such a sad song like that. But when I knew it was sang by him, I think he really improved a lot. Maybe not his vocals, but he really puts his emotions in when he is singing.

And monday when I went to kbox and saw the MTV for this song, I fell in love with this song. Not because of the love scenes, but because of the lyrics. I have never encountered a sad love song that portrayed my own emotions so accurately. It tugged at my heart when the song sang of the emotions that one tries to hide when love goes wrong.

I remember when I quarrel with mr tam, I tend to hide it from my family and my friends. I will go out with my friends and ignore him, but never confiding to my friends. I will talk and laugh with my friends, pretending nothing has happened. But it was never because I didn treat the quarrels seriously, but rather because it numbs the pain and you could convince yourself that everything will be okay. But when I go home or is alone again, the pain returns. And just like the lyrics say it so blatantly, 当人群散了 突然觉得我可以死掉 我受不了 . 还在搞笑 害怕回家 不知怎麽熬 You hope that there is never a moment u are alone. I will watch youtube, go shopping, do things I will never do alone, just to try and forget the quarrel ever happened.

(忙完了一天 突然觉得又何必辛劳 对谁炫耀)
And u immerse urself in work. u study, u finish tutorials, u finish project, u go for dance. But at the end of the day, u ask urself why are u doing so much when there is no one for u to complain or to boast ur accomplishments? It is so real to me, because its what I do every night, telling mr tam about what happen every single day of my life, happy or sad. Thus even when we quarrel and we decide to cool it off for a period of time, I will still msn him what I have done that day. I am not so sure if its a habit, but it feels good knowing that he knows what I have done, and that he will feel happy/sad/proud of me. At least he knows.

(我彻夜胡闹 希望听到有人会提到 你好不好)
This is so me as well. I am a scheming person, so i dun ask directly even if I want to know something. Thus when I quarrel, my computer will be constantly having facebook and msn on, to see if there could be any signs of him at all, how he feels or what he is doing. Unfortunately mr tam is very funny. although he is very tech savvy, he seldom uses facebook or msn. He rather play games. =(

I also like the descriptions in the song. esp 它习惯睡觉的床尾 少了一双脚 所以它常常看着门口睡不着 . To describe his loneliness of sleeping alone, he transferred this feeling to their dog. Very nice.

I realised that songs with simple lyrics capture my heart. I am more amazed with lyricist who could capture one's feelings so well while being so 白话. A simple sentence like this,
我想我能熬 但是至少要让我知道 你好不好, could describe the feelings i have every time when I mentioned I wanted a cool off period. I still want to know what he did, how he is, so that somehow, some parts of my day can be filled as well.

To someone out there, you may need to go through the difficult times like what this song has portrayed. But this song does not tell you what will happen after love heals. One article once said, “失恋后，不是痊愈，就是病亡。“ You can choose for urself what the outcome can be. And there are so many people out there who are willing to be 丑角 in your lives, such that u will have less lonely times to yourself and could heal more easily. But whatever decisions u make, I will support you.
