怀念的人


怀念的声音


我想起你描述梦想天堂的样子
手指著远方画出一栋一栋房子
你傻笑的表情又那么诚实
所有的信任是从那一刻开始
你给我一个到那片天空的地址
只因为太高摔得我血流不止
带著伤口回到当初背叛的城市
唯一收容我的却是自己的影子
想跟著你一辈子
至少这样的世界没有现实
想赖著你一辈子
做你感情里最后一个天使
如果梦醒时还在一起
请容许我们相依为命
绚烂也许一时平淡走完一世
是我选择你这样的男子
就怕梦醒时已分两地
谁也挽不回这持离
爱恨可以不分责任可以不问
天亮了我还是不是你的女人

。。。词曲:袁惟仁

1996:
i was 11 and in primary five. and i owned this cassette copy of faye wong's 浮躁.

i think i was the one who convinced my mum to buy the tape for me because i was the only one in the family listening to this tape almost everyday. it laid in the drawer that contained the family's cassette tape collection, among which also lies my story tapes which told the tales of cinderalla and the girl who sold matchsticks.

i mimicked the di-dar way of singing and sang along each and everytime the la-sup-po song was played. back in the days when our family would go to ktv, it would be jackie cheung for my uncles and faye wong for me.

this was how i grew up and the music to remember it by.

End of Week 13.

I’ve seen year 4s who finish up their last term concentrating on job hunting, partying or just slacking.

Me? My last 2 presentations in smu have been nothing short of being a nightmare. for one of them, 3 final year students almost got played out by a year 2 guy who was sleeping at home with us frantically calling him nonstop for the past 2 hours while thinking of what to do should he not turn up for our presentation. I didn’t murder anyone because he did wake up but only half an hour before class started, walked into class an hour late. We were just lucky we were the last group to present.

…..And I’m STILL NOT done yet. a report to hand in by thurs, quiz and last class on Saturday, a final exam on the 16th.

Decided that we totally need to reward ourselves for braving through this nightmare and being back in school on both a Saturday and Sunday, so Lip and I headed to Ichibantei after our meeting. It’s so great to have great food and to hang out with a great friend who has been there for the past semester - laughing at my jokes, cursing bitchy profs, sharing the love for drama, food, travel and also teaching me Hakka. (hey man! ngai suka sit chou mui!)

Count down: 10 more days.

indignant.

my final term really shouldnt be ending on such a note. it really shouldnt.

dont you dare brand me as a personality whom i myself personally abhor and then judge me based on such a myopic and biased point of view.

"you students..."
if you tone down your voice a little,
you may actually begin to hear what you are actually saying.

you 'teachers'.

old maid

it was initially supposed to be just dinner with xihao, then fi called before dinner time and then apple called after dinner time. so i met all 3 of them (separately) and it was just jolly good time catching up.

and hey the old bitch here is going to graduate in 14 days!

april fool's day morning

it's april! i woke up a great big early today and witnessed the first few rays of april fool's day sunshine. while it sounds absurd, it actually felt good to be up in the early morning and to have the the morning to myself (without my mother's nagging, my brother's disgusting taste in music).

a episode of lost time life, a newly downloaded album, countless random surfing later, i felt an inexplicable joy and then the world started chattering again.

also watching: "City of Sadness"- an old 1989 taiwanese film set in jiufen

an old film in hokkien dialouges, i amuse myself sometimes.

星の流れに

星の流れに (流星) Shooting Star

詞Lyrics 清水みのる
曲Music 利根一郎
演唱Sung by 家家Jiajia

【日文歌詞】

星の流れに 身を占って
何処をねぐらの 今日の宿
荒む心で いるのじゃないが
泣けて涙も 涸れ果てた
こんな女に誰がした

【歌詞中譯】
隨著流星占卜自己的命運
何處才是我今日的歸宿呢
我的心不就是慌亂的嗎
能哭的眼淚都已涸乾
是誰決定了這樣女人的一生


can someone help me translate and give me the romanization?
