五月天 - 小太陽

Finally, managed to get this song from Youtube. A nice song from a brilliant band.


詞曲﹕阿信
編曲﹕五月天

多麼難忘 是你純真的模樣
突然的吻 瀰漫著茶香

多麼嚮往 夢想總是在他方
你說等我 不管多漫長

你就是太陽 蒸發了彷徨
所以挖開土壤 種下希望 離開了故鄉

看著你的眼眶 忍著淚 閃著光
我會很快回來 繼續我們 未完的天堂

看著你的臉龐 微笑著 要我去闖
你的盼望 是我握在手中 小小的太陽

念念不忘 此刻應該是農忙
如畫風光 有你在歌唱

你就是太陽 照亮了方向
你讓地球旋轉 月亮發光 讓我有翅膀

梁靜茹-會呼吸的痛

Another lovely song from Jasmine Leong.



梁靜茹-會呼吸的痛

作詞:姚若龍 作曲:宇恆


在東京鐵塔 第一次眺望
看燈火模仿 墜落的星光
我終於到達 但卻更悲傷
一個人完成 我們的夢想

你總說時間還很多 你可以等我
以前我不懂得 未必明天就有以後

想念是會呼吸的痛 它活在我身上所有角落
哼你愛的歌會痛 看你的信會痛
連沈默也痛

遺憾是會呼吸的痛 它流在血液中來回滾動
後悔不貼心會痛 恨不懂你會痛
想見不能見最痛

沒看你臉上 張揚過哀傷
那是種多麼 寂寞的倔強
你拆了城牆 讓我去流浪
在原地等我 把自己捆綁

你沒說你也會軟弱 需要倚賴我
我就裝不曉得 自由移動 自我地過

想念是會呼吸的痛 它活在我身上所有角落
哼你愛的歌會痛 看你的信會痛
連沈默也痛

遺憾是會呼吸的痛 它流在血液中來回滾動
後悔不貼心會痛 恨不懂你會痛
想見不能見最痛

我發誓不再說謊了 多愛你就會抱你多緊的
我的微笑都假了 靈魂像飄浮著
你在就好了

我發誓不讓你等候 陪你做想做的 無論什麼
我越來越像貝殼 怕心被人觸碰 
你回來那就好了

能重來那就好了

Saved by the call

Saved by a call today when I was on the edge of boredom.

A call not from God but from two long lost friends. They used to be close friends of mine when I was studying in INTI College. Ah Bao went to Leeds with me and Bryan left to Canada. Both of them have been working for some time before they came back to Penang for holiday. Less than a month and they will be leaving back to the place where they had their first degree to pursue a Master degree in their respective fields.

Right, back to main topic. They invited me to join them for dinner in Gurney Plaza. Had this super expensive Kim Gary (don’t know how to spell it). After dinner, Ah Bao suggested a movie to fill the time for the rest of the evening. So we went for Batman – The Dark Knight.

The movie is not brilliant. It is lengthy and horrifying. Overall review of the movie, I rate it as one of the frightening ones. The threats came like tides. As if it is never ending. Normal people with bad heart condition will easily get heart attack. With the magnifying effect of the surround sound in the cinema, it surely can trigger a shock. I guess I will just treat this as an exercise to my cardiac muscles. Although the movie does not give me much satisfaction, watching it with friends is worthwhile.

Soon after I reached home after the movie, I received an offline message from another long lost friend – C Keat. No wonder I had six sense of him coming back to Penang this morning. Anyway, he is inviting me for breakfast tomorrow morning. That means my free time is occupied tomorrow…yahoo…!!! We seldom meet up after I settled down in England. This will be our first encounter after 4 years since the last gathering. He is back now for his houseman ship. There will be so much to share between us over the breakfast tomorrow. I am looking forward to that and well, at least tomorrow, my time is occupied.

Alright, need to retrieve and make time for tomorrow. Signing off…

Pancake served

I am dead broke now. Look at what I had for lunch today?

Searching for healthy source of protein and carbohydrate, suddenly it just made me hanker after pancake with muesli and fruits. Actually I didn’t crave for that but my mind was telling me that this will offer me the cheapest nutrients for the day.

Well, here you go – Pancake. I personally like to shape the pancake to the form similar to the Japanese Dorayaki(銅鑼焼き). It helps to improve my appetite…wink…


Dorayaki liked Pancake...slurp...

Not bad of a taste for these lovely pancakes and it somehow remains me about Steph’s cooking in Leeds. Will give you a glimpse of what she usually cooked for me.


Roasted Chicken with whipped potato and salad


Guess what? Mee Goreng Steph style


Inspired by Gourmet Burger Kitchen, I present you Steph styled set dinner. Good for couple who don't want to spend too much in GBK. A glass of red wine will be a perfect combination.

I wonder when can I enjoy myself like that again...

Everything is breaking down

An unlucky week for me and my family. Electrical appliances keep braking down one after another.

First, it was the refrigerator. After careful analysis, the service engineer told us that the motor overstressed. And so he replaced the old motor, which has been working for the past 10 years , to a new one.

Two days later, my dad found out that the washing machine broke down. Further scrutiny, the timer device and some other electrical control peripheral all malfunction at the same time. Needless to say, all the parts need replacement. This brings up the total service and replacement parts cost to a frightening RM400! And so again, my parents decide to purchase a new washing machine since the current one has been serving us for the past 14 years. Time to change for a better one.

The following is a funny one. How many people have encountered a spoilt electric meter? Well, I have just seen one in my house. A service man from TNB came to read my house’s electric meter today and to his amazement, the meter reading that he has just taken is the same as that of the reading he took last month. I don’t want to comment on this happy thought of mine too early because I don’t know whether they will waive last month usage from our bill. Anyway, he has called to his headquarter requesting for the meter to be repaired.

The story doesn’t end here. My mom just discovered that our electric gate failed to work after punching several times on the remote control button. I tell you, this week is very 衰 for us. Well I guess we should look at the bright side for getting new stuffs for our house. But not so bright when it comes to spending money. What to do? Sigh…

New MoDem up for network

It was just two days when i discovered that my Modem suddenly failed to detect ADSL signal from my land line. I suspected lightning during the heavy storm which damaged part of the modem circuitry.

Luckily, there is a spare USB modem which I found sitting on top of my luggage (the one that i took to Leeds). The initial plan was to throw this "trash" away as serial of trials conducted to establish the connection to the broadband failed.

But this time, the laziness to get rid of the "trash", somehow, saved me from the hassle of my time and money to get a new modem as a replacement.

The trash has surprisingly turned into what i regarded as treasure at this moment when i needed it most. It started to work after my uncle landed his Midas Touch to bridge the local area network to the broadband service.

Thank goodness my home broadband is operational. I was still wondering yesterday on how long it may take, for me to get my some other job application done with my pitiful Dial-up connection. Praise the Lord that He is always on time for rescue. Amen.

不公平

突然间发现了这一首歌。不知为什么,这一首歌就这样在我的脑海里徘徊着。

我相信爱情是公平的,尤其是上帝赐各我们的爱与情。

爱是来自于上帝,而上帝就是爱。情是上帝的邀约,而上帝就是要我们回到祂的身边。

作词者可能在她的爱情里受到了挫折,经历了孤单才形成了对情爱上的犹豫,而感不公平。

听了这一首歌之后,我们才了解,只有上帝的情与爱,才值得我们去追求。

开拓您的心,让主耶稣的爱围绕您。



不公平

走了那麼遠 發現你不在身邊
獨自走過了什麼 自己都不了解
未來的藍圖應該有你 不該只剩嘆息
只是偶爾 淚流不停

堅強的理由 只是自己騙自己
你眼中的恐懼 說什麼都多餘
付出的一切值不值得 永遠不會有答案
只有天知道我有多麼愛你

一顆心屬於一個人 在愛情裡什麼算公平
愛的深也傷的深 是不是催眠了自己
一顆心屬於我自己 愛情裡找不到公平
而當你最後選擇了逃避 我學會不公平


堅強的理由 只是自己騙自己
你眼中的恐懼 說什麼都多餘
付出的一切值不值得 永遠不會有答案
只有天知道我有多麼愛你

一顆心屬於一個人 在愛情裡什麼算公平
愛的深也傷的深 是不是催眠了自己
一顆心屬於我自己 愛情裡找不到公平
而當你最後選擇了逃避 我學會不公平

本來就不公平
