Truly

Truly (Lionel Ritchie)

Girl, tell me only this
That I have your heart for always
And you want me by your side
Whispering the words
I'll always Love you!
And forever, I will be your lover
and I know if you really care
I will always be there!
Now, I need to tell you this
There's no other Love like your Love
And as long as I live
I'll give you all the joy
My heart and soul can give!
Let me hold you
I need to have you near me
And I feel with you in my arms
This love will last forever!
'Cause I'm truly
Truly in Love with you, girl
I'm truly
Head over heels with your Love
I need you
And with your love I'm free
And truly
You know, you're alright with me!
Truly

Are you afraid?

From the Cape No.7 sound track... a simple but meaningful song.

Oh Oh Oh
愛你 愛到不怕死 Baby
愛我 請你讓我瘋狂一次

愛是什麼東西 不過就是種遊戲
情是什麼玩意 不就是玩玩而已
Honey Darling Baby 或是叫我小親親
只要哄我高興 冥王星都陪你去

Oh 愛你 愛到不怕死
但你若劈腿 就去死一死

Oh Oh Oh
愛你 愛到不怕死 Baby
愛我 請你讓我瘋狂一次

One in a million

I had never been lucky in lottery before. But that don't matter to me. Because I was lucky just this once.


One in a Million - Larry Graham

Love had played its games on me so long
I started to believe I'd never find anyone
Doubt had tried to convince me to give in, said, "You can't win"
But one day the sun came a shining through
The rain had stopped and the skies were blue
And oh, what a revelation to see
Someone was saying "I love you" to me

A one in a million chance of a lifetime
And life showed compassion
And sent to me a stroke of love called "You"
A one in a million you

I was a lonely man with empty arms to fill
Then I found a piece of happiness to call my own
And life is worth living again
For to love you to me is to live

A one in a million chance of a lifetime
And life showed compassion
And sent to me a stroke of love called "You"
A one in a million you
A one in a million chance of a lifetime
And life showed compassion
And sent to me a stroke of love called "You"
One in a million you
A one in a million you

A simple love

Friends who have been looking at my FB would probably know by now this song has been stuck in my head recently (along with some others... :P). As we grow older, it seems that love is not so simple anymore, lost are the purity and innocence of the love we knew when we were younger, a love that easily transcends all boundaries and difficulties. Is it that we become jaded and cynical over time as other considerations creep in when we have to make choices to love, or receive love. Can we strip away the superficial coverings? Will I? Will you? Will we? Discover a simple love again.

Jay fans... this is for you.

簡單愛

曲: 周杰倫
词: 徐若瑄


說不上為什麼
我變得很主動
若愛上一個人 / 什麼都會值得去做

我想大聲宣佈
對妳依依不捨
連隔壁鄰居都猜到我現在的感受

河邊 / 的風 / 在吹著頭髮/ 飄動
牽著 / 妳的/ 手一陣莫名/ 感動
我想帶妳回我的外婆家
一起 / 看著日落 / 一直到我們都睡著

我想就這樣牽著妳的手不放開
愛能不能夠永遠單純沒有悲哀
我 想帶妳騎單車
我 想和妳看棒球
想這樣沒擔憂 唱著歌 一直走
我想就這樣牽著妳的手不放開
愛可不可以簡簡單單沒有傷害
妳 靠著我的肩膀
妳 在我胸口睡著
像這樣的生活 我愛妳 妳愛我

想 簡！簡！單！單！ 愛

想 簡！簡！單！單！ 愛

Freedom is as boundless as the sky and the ocean

And while we crave the freedom we all want, we sometimes choose to bind ourselves.

　今天我寒夜里看雪飘过
　怀著冷却了的心窝飘远方
　风雨里追赶
　雾里分不清影踪
　天空海阔你与我
　可会变(谁没在变)
　多少次迎著冷眼与嘲笑
　从没有放弃过心中的理想
　一刹那恍惚
　若有所失的感觉
　不知不觉已变淡
　心里爱(谁明白我)
　原谅我这一生不羁放纵爱自由
　也会怕有一天会跌倒
　被弃了理想谁人都可以
　那会怕有一天只你共我
　今天我寒夜里看雪飘过
　怀著冷却了的心窝飘远方

Changes

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same. - Keane "Everybody's Changing"

Though gone for but a short six weeks from here, I was surprised by the amount of changes that had happened in that space of time. It was either some extremely fast and efficient work or I had just simply lost touch with reality in the months prior and not noticed the on-going changes, only to realise and rediscover them when I'm back.

Perhaps one of the most positive ones are the fact that there are new street lamps city-wide, those orange tungsten lamps similar to the ones we have on our roads back home in sg. And also, almost all the roads have been resurfaced. It's almost as though the city here was preparing for an F1 race too! Anyway, with the road improvements, it solved my dilemma on the type of bicycle to get. Awaiting anxiously for it to arrive from Solo's Rodalink since it was the closest branch that held stock. Not the best frame nor groupset in the market... but it'll do for an amateur like me. Can't wait to start riding again. 2 weeks break from the saddle seems too long.

Anyway, back to the topic of changes. Had some time again to self-reflect on some of the on-goings in my life... I realised I had changed (or perhaps had not changed, and everyone else is), but whatever it is, some readjustment and recalibration seems to be in order. Would I have the courage to say the same words that had come so easily to me years ago? Some people obviously had no problem with that. So what is this barrier that I am facing now. I hope in time I would find an answer.

What did you realise?

Thanks for sharing this with me. You know who you are.

V1: Take time to realize,
That your warmth is. Crashing down on in.
Take time to realize,
That I am on your side
Didn't I, Didn't I tell you.

But I can't spell it out for you,
No it's never gonna be that simple
No I cant spell it out for you

C: If you just realize what I just realized,
Then we'd be perfect for each other
and will never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

V2: Take time to realize
Oh-oh I'm on your side
didn't I, didn't I tell you.
Take time to realize
This all can pass you by.. Didn't I tell you

But I can't spell it out for you,
no its never gonna be that simple
no I can't spell it out for you.

C: If you just realized what I just realized
then we'd be perfect for each other
then we'd never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder if
we missed out on each other now.

V3: It's not always the same
no it's never the same
if you don't feel it to.
If you meet me half way
If you would meet me half way.
It could be the same for you.

C: If you just realized what I just realized
then we'd be perfect for each other
then we'd never find another
Just realized what I just realized
we'd never have to wonder
Just realized what I just realized

OoOoOOo

missed out on each other now
missed out on each other now

Dance with me?

I know. I can't dance to save my life. But...

Dance with me tonight (Music & Lyrics OST)

It’s been so long
Since I’ve known right from wrong
Got no job, sometimes I just sit down and sob
Wondering if anything will go right
Or will you dance with me tonight

When the sun departs
I feel a hole down in my heart
Put on some shoes
Come down here and listen to the blues
Wondering if anything will go right
Or will you dance with me tonight

I’m looking at you
You’re looking at me
We’re the only two off the dance floor
Do you see what I see
Two broken lives working in harmony
Might make for a decent time
So get up and dance with me

I know that it seems that the grass will grow
Better on the other side of the barb wire fence
But that other side is not in sight
So I’m fine with what I have now
If you’ll dance with me tonight

What’s the point of life
If risk is just a board game
You roll the dice
But you’re just hoping that the rules change
What’s the point if you can’t bring yourself to say
Things you wanna say like
Dance with me tonight

Don't Write Me Off

This is a great great song. Cheesy lyrics. But very poignant.

Don't Write Me Off - Hugh Grant (from Music & Lyrics)

It’s never been easy for me
To find words to go along, with a melody
But this time there’s actually something, on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I’ve met you, my whole life has changed
It’s not just my furniture, you’ve rearranged
I was living in the past, but somehow you’ve brought me back
And I haven’t felt like this since before Frankie said relax

And while I know, based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet

For years I’ve been telling myself, the same old story
That I’m happy to live off my so called, former glories
But you’ve given me a reason, to take another chance
Now I need you, despite the fact, that you’ve killed all my plants

And though I know, I’ve already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet
Don’t write me off just yet

Diary

Seems fitting since this is a diary of sorts.

记事本

翻看随身携带的记事本 写著许多事都是关于你 你讨厌被冷落 习惯被守候
寂寞才找我

我看见自己写下的心情 把自己放在卑微的后头 等你等太久 想你泪会流
而幸福快乐是什么

爱的痛了 痛的哭了 哭的泪了 日记本泪页页执著 记载著你的好 像上瘾
的毒药 它反覆骗著我

爱的痛了 痛的哭了 哭的泪了 矛盾心里总是强求 劝自己要放手 闭上眼
让你走 烧掉日记重新来过

Where are you now?

遗忘 - 183 Club

好不好
我想知道
离开我以后
是否很幸福
忘不了
又得不到
这痛苦
又太清楚
where are u now?
现在过得好不好
i'll be home
等待你的回答

*don't say good-bye
等你回来
突然的离开
叫我如何能释怀
我会更勇敢
只要你回来*
where are u now?
别再假装记不了
我的好
被你统统都遗忘掉
where are u now?
现在的你好不好
不重要
你已不再爱我
where are u now?
别再装作你忘啦
我的好

早就被你都遗忘掉
where are u ?
u took it away from me
i will hold on for ever more

别擦去
这最美好的过去
我们相爱过的记忆

From dusk to... dawn?

黄昏
词:陈信荣 曲:周传雄

过完整个夏天
忧伤并没有好一些
开车行驶在公路无际无边
有离开自己的感觉
唱不完一首歌
疲倦还剩下黑眼圈
感情的世界伤害在所难免
黄昏再美终要黑夜
依然记得从你口中说出再见坚决如铁
昏暗中有种烈日灼身的错觉
黄昏的地平线
划出一句离别
爱情进入永夜
依然记得从你眼中滑落的泪伤心欲绝
混乱中有种热泪烧伤的错觉
黄昏的地平线
割断幸福喜悦
相爱已经幻灭

-----

Dusk


After the whole summer,
my sadness still did not improve.
Driving my car on the vast, boundless roads,
I feel that I’m getting out of touch with myself.
The song that I could not finish singing,
Left me so tired that there are rings around my eyes.
It is inevitable to get hurt in the realm of love,
No matter how beautiful the dusk is, the dark night must follow.
I recall that you said, “Goodbye” with a tone of steel,
I had a delusion of being burnt by the sun in the darkening dusk.
The horizon at dusk,
Drew out your line of, “Farewell.”
Love plunges into eternal night.
I still remember the tears falling from your desolated eyes.
In the confusion, there is an illusion of being burnt by the hot tears.
The horizon at dusk,
Severed happiness and joy.
Love has already been destroyed.
