LOL of the day: what do you get when you mash the attention-seeking Kim K and the philosopher Soren Kierkegaard? this twitter account: twitter.com/KimKierkegaard. hehehe.. it's hilarious!
as i was writing this, i just got a call from a lady whose IC i picked up a couple of months ago. it was really terrible of me to sit on it for so long because i couldn't find her contact online (no FB, no nothing).. so as last resort, i wrote a snail mail to her.. which i only sent out a few weeks later because.. hahaha.. because I'm awful like that... but she sounded really grateful, and she told me that she has just collected her new IC today. the government is more efficient than me, take that. hahaha..
i've been having the sniffles for the past 4 days. i had unwittingly chugged down two doses of coffee when i was in Miri (once in the morning to get me going, and once at the airport while waiting for my flight), and naturally, i was kept awake until 4am when i got back, and i woke up early to go for breakfast with the sibs who came back over the weekend. boo hoo.
so what else have been new in the time i was away from here? mm..
i took part in my maiden treasure hunt contest (the NST Motor Hunt). chongy had a place in her car when her friend pulled out, so i got the pleasure of participating. it was really fun! it was tiring too, esp the prize giving ceremony that went on and on and on... and while we only got two errors, we were placed 16th out of 200 cars (one of the errors was a 6-mark treasure question, so it really set us back quite a bit). i was rather disappointed but it was really for the best *cryptic* hahaha..
that's about it, for now. on to today's song...
i saw this music video as a nominal lee hom fan, because i follow wongfu production on youtube.. i rber seeing the video and kinda liked it, but that was that. the music video is pretty okay EXCEPT for the last scene: that awkward reunion between lee hom and his on-screen girlfriend has always bugged me. and after a while, i kinda disliked the song for its overt simplicity. then i came across this comment from one of his fans, a Swedish university lecturer based in Shanghai (I do like how lee hom's fan base cuts across so many nationality):
Karin: The singing along [at Lee Hom's concert] feeling reminds me of the Swedish pop group ABBA, who wrote simple but original songs that are easy to remember and sing along with. In Sweden they were sometimes criticized for writing too simple music, but it turned out the songs are universal and very long-lasting favourites. And the songs make people sing! The musical Mama Mia with ABBA music has reached tremendous successes all over the globe, both as movie and stage shows. Everywhere people stand up in the end and sing along. The songs and the musical are also well-known in China and have been translated to Chinese.i guess simplicity has its appeal... i can't decide if it's a good thing.. let me think.. yeah, don't we always lament about the complexity of life? don't i often berate those who has a knack for making mountains out of molehills.. and how i get confused with doublespeak and when things are not what they appear to be? google "simplicity quotes" and we could see hundreds of lines touting its virtues..
ooh this is good, and i think it's true: said by one E.F. Schumacker – Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.) fine, simple is better. mm i'm not sure if i'm comparing apple to apple here. but yeah, it explains the diversity of Lee Hom's hordes of fans. am i trying to justify his works? perhaps. but why not, right?
ok, i might not make sense cos right now i am under the influence of drug -- just popped in my flu pill that causes drowsiness. can't wait to doze off. as for the song, i think the "you" in it refers more to his music career than any girl. haha..
一閃一閃亮晶晶 留下歲月的痕跡
我的世界的中心 依然還是你
一年一年又一年 飛逝僅在一轉眼
唯一永遠不改變 是不停地改變
twinkle twinkle little star (lit. flashing bright sparkle, but the words 一閃一閃亮晶晶 are the same as the first line of the eponymous nursery rhyme so i've decided to use that here)
leaving behind traces of time gone by
you remain to be the centre of my world
year after year, time goes by in the blink of an eye
and the only constant in life is that of change
我不像從前的自己 你也有點不像你
但在我眼中你的笑 依然的美麗
日子只能往前走 一個方向順時鐘
不知道還有多久 所以要讓你懂
you and i are not the same people we were
but your smile in my eyes remains as beautiful as ever
the days would only move forward like the hands of the clock
i don't know how long this would last, so i want you to understand (that)
我依然愛你 就是 唯一的退路
我依然珍惜 時時刻刻的幸福
你每個呼吸 每個動作 每個表情
到最後 一定會 依然愛你
i still love you, there's no two way about it
i still cherish every moment of happiness we shared
and your every breath, every move, every expression
i will always love you till the very end
我依然愛你 或許是 命中注定
多年之後 任何人都無法代替
那些時光 是我這一輩子最美好的
那些回憶 依然無法忘記
i still love you, maybe that's always meant to be
so many years have passed, no one could ever replace you
those moments were the most beautiful in my life
there's no forgetting the memories
依然愛你
一閃一閃亮晶晶 留下 歲月的痕跡
我的世界的中心 依然還是你
一年一年又一年 飛逝僅在一轉眼
唯一永遠不改變 是不停地改變
我不像從前的自己 你也有點不像你
但在我眼中你的笑 依然的美麗
日子只能往前走 一個方向順時鐘
不知道還有多久 所以要讓你懂
我依然愛你 就是 唯一的退路
我依然珍惜 時時刻刻的幸福
你每個呼吸 每個動作 每個表情
到最後 一定會 依然愛你
(依然愛你 依然愛你...)
