转机

I always yearned for a 转机 (turnaround), to turn the situation around when a friendship (Which involving the person in the name of "One-sided" relationships) started to falter...

But too bad...



凌晨的飞机 随歌忐忑飞行
从相机里面正视着回忆
背景是层影
我哪里都不想擦去 到哪里痛楚计算清
怕遗憾拖远 易碎的情绪我收听

想你在一起 我却身不由己
你每次伤心 我每次缺席 遥远的距离
我以为我们的爱情
誓言里还会有转机
没想到陌生机场 写下结局
各自的转机

我放不过我自己 转一圈回到了原地
眼泪是一种提醒我很爱你 让一切归零
我放不过我自己 仍相信爱会有奇迹
人群中我正逃离 我抱着你
我们的爱情还未完待续

想你在一起 我却身不由己
你每次伤心 我每次缺席 遥远的距离
我以为我们的爱情
誓言里还会有转机
没想到陌生机场 写下结局
各自的转机

我放不过我自己 转一圈回到了原地
眼泪是一种提醒我很爱你 让一切归零
我放不过我自己 仍相信爱会有奇迹
人群中我正逃离 我抱着你
我们的爱情还未完待续

我放不过我自己 转一圈回到了原地
眼泪是一种提醒我很爱你 让一切归零
我放不过我自己 仍相信爱会有奇迹
寻找我们的转机 我抱着你
我们的爱情还未完待续

我放不过 我自己眼泪是一种提醒
让我们一起回忆我们的爱情
我放不过 我自己眼泪是一种提醒
我们的 我们的我们的爱爱爱爱

Ending The Waiting Game

After 44 years of long wait and agonizing hurts, the Spanish National Football Team won the European Championship last June, thus taken off the "underachievers" tag for now. Meanwhile, the Summer Olympics will take place in Beijing next month, same goes to the new football season. For some teams and athletes, it's all about "ending the waiting game".

Take both Tennis World no.1 Roger Federer and Badminton World no.1 Lin Dan for example. Both dominate their respective sports scene in recent years, being the top of the world for a couple of years, winning grand slams after grand slams... yet they fail to capture the Olympic Gold since the start of their careers. Lin Dan, most notably, was (surprisingly) beaten by Singapore's Ronald Susilo in the opening round of the Athens Games 4 years ago...

Both are still at the top of their games now.(Even though Federer ended his Wimbledon winning run recently to the World no.2 Rafael Nadal...)... and they are there in Beijing to end such hurtful run in the Olympics if not they will have to wait another 4 years...

Next is the Brazil Olympics Football Team... as we know...the Brazilians is the greatest football nation... 5 times World Champions. Yet in the history of the Olympics, they had never won the GOLD, despite producing legends like Pele, Zico, Ronaldo...to add salt to their wounds, bitter South American Arch Rivals -- Argentina, was the winner 4 years ago (while the Brazilians did not even qualify.)... while lesser known footballing nations like Nigeria, Cameroon, Poland, Belgium and even Canada won the gold before. While the Olympics squad(a team of u23 players + 3 overage players) will step foot in Singapore to set up their training camp and play a friendly against a Singapore Selection side, the team, which perhaps the strongest Olympics side consisting of stars like Ronaldinho, Lucas, Diego, Anderson, Pato and Jo...etc etc, will be out to end that long wait of a GOLD medal.

Speaking of the Olympics, another team which is out to end such long years of hurt is our TEAM Singapore. When was the last time Singapore won a medal? 48 years ago... when Singapore has just started self-governance, had not joined Malaysia yet, let alone gained independence... and the lone medal, a sliver, was won by Tan Howe Liang... a Weightlifter. During those days... Singapore was just a 3rd World country... of course no talks of monetary rewards like what it is now.

While in recent years, we may have won lots of medals in Commonwealth, Asian and SEA Games, breaking medal tally after medal tally records... we have been fallen short of a second Olympic medal in history. 4 years ago it is soo hurtful to see Singapore getting soo far yet soo close to just a medal... I remembered watching Susilo on TV mobile in the bus... getting thrashed in the quarter finals by a Thai shuttler by the name of Boonsak Ponsana despite looking promising especially after the win over Lin Dan. Then the next disappointments... an agonizing 4th...yet another 4th in Table Tennis. That time was by (Susilo's then gf) Li Jia Wei... when she could have won the semi-finals earlier. That's a saying, "Being 2nd is nothing."... but for Team Singapore in the Olympics, "Being 4th is no Medal...not even bronze."

While the opening of the Olympics took place on 8 Aug, our National Day is a day later. Please do the nation proud by capturing a medal... finally...We have enough of waiting for just a Olympic medal when we saw our neighbouring countries had their names in the medal tally over the years.

Over in football, the new football season starts next month too... Liverpool once again... determines to end the soon-to-be 19 years of long wait for a domestic league title, although the challenges are getting harder and harder over the years, especially with the wealthiness of Chelsea and Man U. And the Reds are looking soo cash-strapped just to bid for a midfielder named Gareth Barry !!!

Newcastle United... a football club with a large fan base, with one of the largest stadiums in England, yet being a very unachieving side over soo many years. The last time they won a major trophy was in 1969. And for that almost 50 years, teams like Wimbledon(now MK Dons...???), Coventry City, Portsmouth...etc etc achieved glories. Even the legendary Alan Shearer could not help taking his hometown club to glory during his stint at the club. For the new season, I do hope they can breakthrough, win something like League Cup or FA Cup perhaps.

In my own point of view, everyone will also have to play these "waiting games" in their various aspects of life, be it in Career, Studies, Sports and Relationships... it's kind of overcoming "karma", challenges which one ought to breakthrough. Take the case of myself, I have been playing the waiting game of "finding the right one", a true love aka soulmate...especially when I had to go through a couple of heart-breaking, "no-chance", one-sided relationships in the past 10 years of hurt. I am not being desperate, just that being single for that long and never have a relationship before sometimes may feel the emptiness inside. 一个人偶尔感到寂寞再所难免...

I may have said all these before. But I have to overcome such heavy karma and have the good fortune to find the right one, and no more one-sided love hurts.

冲动

When you like someone but you can't express those feelings to the person, you can sing this to him/her.
(Meanwhile, Elva Hsiao is really elegant and good-looking in this MV.)



很感激这城市拥挤的交通
让你我还能多相处几分钟
人潮中怕失散所以轻轻拉你的手
一刻不放松不放松

忍不住想要爱你的冲动
不确定你属于我会有点寂寞
你给的幸福在我心中自由走动
抚平我每一个伤口
忍不住想要吻你的冲动
不确定我的执着能让你感动
我只能相信自己感受不怕失落
关于你的一切我想要比谁都懂

我的心是被你设定的闹钟
提醒我想你的时间不够用
为什么平淡的事情现在忽然生动
是你改变我你改变我

你是情人还是朋友
还没勇气想得太多
你的世界如此辽阔
我会在哪个角落

Never in my experiences before as a NDP performer that rain will fall during the performances. But we manage to put up a great! show in front of the school kids for the NE Show 3 despite the rain... and that Rain shall be the first and the last that happened on a performance.

Perry, Peter and Me... here we are...before the show starts.

Me, David and Mavis......Let's have a big "family" photo with the rest of the M&D Crew someday up till the actual day...

Another "family" photo of ITACSD taken during the recent Nationwide SD meeting...as part of a birthday card for Lijia, one of our newly promoted IICs. Well... a somehow belated birthday present.

有人为你偷偷在哭

What a sad emo song... hurtful story. Another new song for future karaoke sessions...



遥远的看着你 空气好冷
我走在阳光下 像个幽魂
你等着那个人 无悔无恨
我在人点终点之间 难舍难分

多少次想对你大声说出 有人为你偷偷在哭
为了他再多苦你都忍住 我的温柔 你不在乎
你的心没权交给我 我的煎熬却不能说
最近的幸福 最遥远的路 谁的错

是朋友是情人 我不追问
是痴心是愚蠢 你不心疼
每个人的人生 更有旅程
你的世界 我的存在 像个路人

多少次想对你大声说出 有人为你偷偷在哭
为了他再多苦你都忍住 我的温柔 你不在乎
你的心没权交给我 我的煎熬却不能说
最近的幸福 最遥远的路 谁的错

多少次想对你大声说出 有人为你偷偷在哭
为了他再多苦你都忍住 我的温柔 你不在乎
你的心没权交给我 我的煎熬却不能说
最近的幸福 最遥远的路 谁的错

多少次想对你大声说出有人为你偷偷在哭

I am not a good son

After some almost 5 years since I started taking up faith, it seems that I failed to show any great actual proof to my parents. Or I been improving myself, yet they just fail to see, or just don't bother to think of it ?

Well, now it looks more like I fail to do my human revolution at home.

That's why I say I am not a good son.

Sad to say... there's a communication gap between me and parents. Lack of understanding perhaps... while my father is one who just wanna keeps his problems to himself. I got nothing to say...

I am just being a "perennial underachiever".... a "perennial underachiever" in studies, in love, in sports, in family, or perhaps... in life. But I have been trying hard to shed off this tag in recent times, just like how Spain did in football. Perhaps, the word which I type -- "trying hard" doesn't mean I have tried a lot. Not a lot.

I have a positive first 6 months in 2008. Now it seems like devilish functions are coming over and running over me again... just like how they did in the past.

I never want to see disappointments in the end (again).

Never......

Keeping Me Busy

Today I am on MC, therefore I got some time to blog at home after such busy hours since the start of July.

I just completed VSCC(Vocationalist Section Commander Course) yesterday at CDA yesterday. Well, it's been challenging when I gotta woke at around 5.30-5.45am and then took the train and bus to CDA for the 9 day long course(Minus weekends), and then went for various gakkai activities/NDP trainings after the course ended on that day. Anyway, struggling makes people grow.

Today I could have gone back to HQ, but I am down with flu, cough and some gastric problems. Anyway, there's gonna lots of work to do when I came back! Meanwhile, gakkai activities have been intensive especially when the Chapter Friendship Meeting drawing nearer and nearer. Many meetings and preparations coming up for my chapter side and at this time, there's the case of "Chapter vs SD" issue when activities have been clashing with each other at the same timings,especially where I am involved in(This saturday's institution meeting as well as the intensified preparations, daimokukais, homevisits campaigns, rallying, leaders meetings for CFG, and also upcoming YMD formation day). Sounds like those issues like "Club vs Country" in football when clubs trying to stop footballers like Ronaldinho and Kaka playing for their country in the upcoming Beijing Olympics because of the football clubs are preparing for the new season in the same month which is August???

Well, it's a good training in schedule planning and juggling with activities. Meanwhile, let's hope more money come into my bank account than before. You know what I mean.
