I cried for you

2009-10-04T09:56:00.000-07:00

You're beautiful so silently
It lies beneath a shade of blue
It struck me so violently
When I looked at you

But others pass, the never pause,
To feel that magic in your hand
To me you're like a wild rose
They never understand why

I cried for you
When the sky cried for you
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter
But this life was not for you
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper

I'll cross the sea for a different world,
With your treasure, a secret for me to hold

In many years they may forget
This love of ours or that we met,
They may not know
how much you meant to me.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper

Without you now I see,
How fragile the world can be
And I know you've gone away
But in my heart you'll always stay.

I cried for you
And the sky cried for you,
And when you went
I became a hopeless drifter.
But this life was not for you,
Though I learned from you,
That beauty need only be a whisper
That beauty need only be a whisper

There's a pain that sleeps inside.

2009-09-02T04:30:00.001-07:00

It sleeps with just one eye.

Bye bye Blackbird, bye bye....

2009-07-30T10:39:00.000-07:00

And when it hurts.. Yes it hurts.

My mind is stirring.

2009-05-17T17:31:00.000-07:00

So many things going on in my mind these days, i've bent the rules and broken some strings. Will it be worth it? Am I doing the right thing. Is it all true? If it's not, haha..

Well I better stop saying anything here or else someone's bound to figure out what I'm talking about.

Laters.. =)

Layers. We all have them.

2009-04-25T07:45:00.000-07:00

If you don't let me down, I won't let you down. However if you do, I have everything to my advantage to do as I please.

So be careful.

Beautiful

2009-04-04T05:09:00.001-07:00

I'm looking for a way to feel you hold me
To feel your heart beat, just one more time
I'm reaching back, trying to touch the moment
Each precious minute that you were mine
How do you prepare,
when you love someone this way,
To let them go a little more each day?

CHORUS
The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonged to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we've lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
cause it was beautiful
It was beautiful

Some days missing you is overwhelming
When it hits me you're not coming back
And in my darkest hours I have wondered
Was it worth it, for the time we had?
My thoughts get kind of scattered,
but one thing I know is true
I bless the day that I found you, oh oh

CHORUS

[musical bridge]

Oh, the rules we stepped aside
The fear that we defied
The thrill of the ride
The fire in our hearts that burned
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we've lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
cause it was beautiful
So beautiful
It was beautiful

Mad World..

Let Your Love Be Strong

2009-03-03T08:41:00.000-08:00

In this world of news, I've found nothing new
I've found nothing pure
Maybe I'm just idealistic to assume that truth
Could be fact and form
That love could be a verb
Maybe I'm just a little misinformed

As the dead moon rises, and the freeways sigh
Let the trains watch over the tides and the mist
Spinning circles in our sky's tonight
Let the trucks roll in from Los Angeles
Maybe our stars are unanimously tired

(chorus)
Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your eyes
All of my world hanging on your love

Let the wars begin, let my strength wear thin
Let my fingers crack, let my world fall apart
Train the monkeys on my back to fight
Let it start tonight
When my world explodes, when my stars touch the ground
Falling down like broken satellites

Let your love be strong, and I don't care what goes down
Let your love be strong enough to weather through the thunder cloud
Fury and thunder clap like stealing the fire from your sky's
All that i am hanging on, all of my world resting on your love

Thank You.

You know what. I just wrote a freaking long post and was about to publish it. But then, when I read it over I realized that i just wrote down my feelings and secrets that I keep oh so dearly to myself. So I deleted it, and started dreaming to the cool breeze that was blowing through my window in this quiet night with some deep beautiful music playing to my ears. Life's good. LG.

MPYO friends! Here's about a piece that we'll be playing. =)

2008-11-23T21:52:00.000-08:00

Dvorak Cello Concerto in B minor, Op. 104, B. 191

The Cello Concertos of Antonin Dvořák and Sir Edward Elgar represent the summit of romantic achievement in the form. The concertante cello found a place in later Baroque repertoire, with solo cello concertos by Vivaldi, Tartini and others, leading to the classical concertos of composers in Mannheim, Vienna and Berlin and the concertos of Haydn and Boccherini. It was not until 1850 that the cello concerto received the attention of major romantic composers, with Robert Schumann's Cello Concertoof that year. Brahms paired the instrument with the violin in his Double Concerto of 1887, but it was Dvořák who in 1895 first provided a concerto in which the solo cello forms an essential part of a full symphonic texture.

Dvořák wrote his B minor Cello Concerto, his second attempt at the form, in America during the winter months of his new contract, at the request of his colleague in Prague, the cellist Hanus Wihan. After his return home, Wihan suggested various changes, including additional cadenzas written by himself, but these Dvořák adamantly rejected. The first performance of the concerto took place not in Prague but at the Queen's Hall in London on 19 March 1896, with the English-born cellist Leo Stern, who played the work on subsequent tours. Wihan first performed the concerto in public three years later, although he had in fact been the first to play through the work with the composer in the previous August. In June, after his return from America, the composer had already rewritten the ending of the work.

The first movement of the concerto opens with an orchestral exposition, the first theme played by the clarinets and restated emphatically by the rest of the orchestra before the appearance of the second theme, introduced by a solo French horn. The solo cello enters with the first theme, subject thereafter to a number of improvisatory variations, before the soloist plays the second subject. In the central development section remoter keys follow, the cello playing the principal theme in a poignantly slower version, and providing an accompaniment to further variations by the wind instruments of the orchestra. The soloist finally ushers in the last section with a repetition of the second theme, an unexpected turn of events. It is, however, the first theme that re-appears to end the movement. The slow movement opens with the principal theme played by the clarinet, accompanied by bassoons and oboes. The theme is then taken up by the solo cello. A middle section, in marked dramatic contrast, makes use of the opening phrase of a song written by Dvořák in 1887. The principal theme appears again, played by three French horns, to be followed by a cello cadenza and a brief coda. The finale of the concerto is in free rondo form, its principal theme finally appearing in its full form when the soloist enters. This theme serves as a link between a series of episodes, rich in variety and in opportunities for the soloist. The extended coda includes a reference to the opening of the first movement, played by the clarinets before the triumphant conclusion of the whole work.

If only this were all real.

2008-11-18T03:31:00.001-08:00

So i've watched quite a number of movies, and TV shows. I've decided to put up a few scenes from the shows that i watch that make my heart tingle!! Teehee! =p

First up, my all time favorite TV series, Smallville.

Lana is so beautiful OMGGG!!!! =p Clark too lol!

This girl that Clark was kissing is Queen Maxima the Queen Of Fertility from another galaxy that is looking for a suitable mate, and her kiss can make any guy fall for her but it also kills mortal men.. Sounds good eh! =p Damn i need Maxima. lol.

Ok enough of Smallville haha, here's Lord Of The Rings. I watched this trilogy not less than 7 times each. And yes, I have a life. (If you're gonna say "get a life" haha) xD

And this is when Annakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, from Star Wars!

Ahhhh I love all this.....

But this movie made me feel so.. ahh.. This is my type of romance. Pride and Prejudice.

If only.

I Need a Super-Powered Affair.

2008-11-08T07:49:00.000-08:00

I need more drama in my life. Everything seems to be so smooth and good. Everything is very smooth and great, in fact. Well.. That doesn't satisfy my lust for adventure. I need something, someone to capture my imagination and completely pawn me. That would be a girl, ofcourse. haha..

Lately, i've been watching two of my 5 favorite TV shows. They are Smallville, Heroes, Nip/Tuck, The O.C and wait.. there are a few more that i love watching but can't think of them now.. Anyway,

I've always awed on how many beautiful Supergirls from other planets, Queens and Princesses of powerful civilizations from other galaxies find themselves "destined" to be Kal-El's(Clark Kent/Superman) soulmate, and would do anything to be with him. They truly believe in him and most of them have waited their entire lives to find the last son of Krypton. (It's the planet Superman came from that was destroyed by civil war). But to my amazement, he's turned down almost ALL of them because of I don't know what the heck is going on in his head! I mean like.. They really REALLY love and want him, but he's just blind! So much for X-Ray vision. What i mean to say is, it's just amazing to have so many beautiful women going after you willing to sacrifice everything and devote themselves to you. lol that's every man's secret inner-dream haha.. Maybe, he has super-girl-resistance but if a a Super powered girl would come to me and grab me and suck the lips out of me, i'd be happy to fly her to my fortress of solitude lol. Anywayyy, that's just my imaginations going wild, as much as i wanna be Superman haha.. To get what i mean, watch Smallville Season 8 Episode 4: Instinct , and you will know what i mean. Use Megavideo or Tv Shack or something to watch online! That's how i do it.. These days girls just don't see the good in good guys and are getting blinder and blinder, falling for jerks and lying there. I try to help, but i feel like a fool afterwards so.. Yeah i'm no Superman so i'll be Lex Luther then..

Heroes, i follow because of the complex and twisted plot. The characters in the show have abilities that i would say many of us would like to have. For example.. Matt Parkman has the telepathic ability to read minds AND tell people what to do. Imagine going to Subway to get a sandwich and you "tell" the Sandwich Artist(that's what they're called haha) that you want a lot of meat fillings and they'd do it! Or.. tell your classmate to do your homework for you.. OR... Tell your beautiful classmate to.. eh-hem.. Do your extra-curricular projects. haha.. yeah right. Also, what would you do if you could fly? I'd go all around the world right now. Sit on top of the highest mountains and skyscrapers while carrying your lover with you. I always wanted to do that. What a ride it would be.

So, back to reality. Recently my hobby of photography became a part time job for me. Haha.. It's fun! To be paid to play with your toy (i mean camera) and to take nice shots of friends. =)

And today i attended a concert by the Russian faculty in my school, including my teacher Alexander Souptel and OMG it was awesome. I've never gone crazy in a live classical music concert before but that was just amazing. Partially coz the theme of the concert was "From Russia with Love" haha.. The concert hall was full and there was a standing ovation. Amazing!

Here's a pic i took of a friend of mine, Marcus.

Doesn't he look superpowered? =)

If i was Superman.. This world would be different..

A little less of this, and a little more of that makes me >

2008-10-29T10:57:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone, so i've not been updating my blog lately, apologies for that if anyone stalks my blog hoping for a new post from me hehe ^.^ Anyway, i've been busy for the past couple of weeks with work related stuff and also having a little fun.

Today I saw something on Facebook that confirmed my change of mind(set) coz it got me all worked up and I really didn't understand why it all happened. It's done, so all I can do i suck it up, and blow harder! Oh yeah that didn't sound right. haha. Just a slight adjustment to make my life much easier and better without worrying about some people regarding troubles that have nothing to do with me. (Because they don't appreciate it)

BECAUSE you don't understand what I just wrote, haha I'm gonna change the topic to something that's easier to digest.

For the past two weeks, we had the Singapore SUN Festival going on and had many many things happening during that period of time. There were students from our sister school, Peabody (US) and also the Guildhall (UK) that came here to play and "play" with us. Yep. We had fun. I'd like to put up some pictures but i don't know if they'll load.. Well.. they're up on my Facebook so you can go find them there if you're interested. haha.

Anyway, this is Jasmine and WenQi.

I don't know but the background seems to be just all black or white!

This was in the Salsa Club in Clarke Quay's,

In this pic, Jasmine, Katazyna, Jiang Hansong, and Elena Yakovleva. It was a good night! =p

Jasmine & I testing the softness of the walls haha. It was covered with fur!

I'll miss them!

And I also met the actor Geoffrey Rush, he was Captain Barbosa from Pirates of the Carribean!

Very nice man, was not a diva diva at all! =)

This was the orchestra rehearsing in Esplanade's concert hall with him,

A tiny pic la.. Can't see much go to my Facebook!

Will be updating in the near future, see you all again! =)

Facebook

2008-10-18T12:13:00.000-07:00

Yep. All the pics and cool stuff are there. Just go to my Facebook. =)

Sexy Black Camera! All mine!

2008-10-14T10:36:00.000-07:00

Went for camera hunting with WenQi yesterday.. For the past few months now, I've been searching for a camera that would capture my eyes, hands and wallet. And so i found her! (she may become male once in awhile)

Has anyone seen the newly released Canon IXUS 980 is? When I set my eyes on her i knew that she was the one.. I wanted her predecessor before this which was the Canon IXUS 960 is but when I went to ask her to be mine, the store keeper said "sorry ah, obsolete already replaced by the Canon 970 is". I saw the 970 model. But I didn't really like it as it didn't look masculine enough. It also doesn't come in black. So I bought this freaking expensive newly released not out in Malaysia yet Canon IXUS 980 is!! With 14.7MEGAPIXELS (OMG) and hot black bod!! =p

Although it digged a RM1600/ 659SGD deep hole in my wallet, haha...

Here's how she/he looks like: (She makes all those big n bulky SLR's look like toys)

(Pictures of the camera were from an online digital camera magazine as a camera cannot take a picture of itself)

Anyway, here are some photos that I have managed to snap in between my busy past few days:

LOL. I just realised that the picture file size is too huge to put on Blogger. (averaging on 7MB per picture..)

Will try though... =p

Here I Am.

2008-10-04T02:06:00.000-07:00

So i've been thinking lately, about lot's of things that I shall not say here.. Or maybe I will.. hehe.. Just being cryptic for the moment. Been busy the past few days, doing my stuff and enjoying things along the way, and so to say.

Been trying to go online more often coz i'm addicted to Facebook and now i've got this blog that I leave the playlist playing in my room all the time. So here's what I did in the past week..

Went to school..

Yes that's the front door of my school in the evening and that's my friend Wen Qi having ice-cream after dinner..

Went for rehearsals and practices..

Yep.. Our concert hall.. Cool eh!

(Nope this was not taken from my phone camera hehe)

Will get a real camera real soon!

Okay.. It's 2am now but tomorrow's a Saturday so i'll get my much needed sleep and go to Orchard Road in the afternoon then to The Esplanade in the evening to watch the Singapore Symphony Orchestra perform! I may take a few pics there, just- for you all to see! =)

P.S i just had some pâté and nutella for supper... MMmm... feel like a glutton now.. heh.

What a day today..

2008-09-23T01:59:00.000-07:00

So today was very quiet. All my buddies were with their respective girlfriends and boyfriends as we are on a one week break. The rest went home, holiday, etc. So I had a day completely to myself. I think this blog is sort of a way to vent out my feelings and all. haha.. Coz.. up to now i still have not written about a specific topic like for example... Food, or places or what i did today. Maybe because I like to keep it to myself and not shout out to the world wide web. Anyway this week's a holiday for me in NUS. Amazingly, I have not went out yet coz I have lot's of work to do. But the next few days is packed up with activities.. Finally going to East Coast Park for cycling again! (one of the most romantic places to be at night) with a few friends.. On Friday night, that is. Always wanted to bring my date there (nope no one at the moment so shut down those brain cells of yours now haha) coz it's quiet and windy and also cooling there! And we'll rent bicycles or roller blades overnight so that we'll be cycling for hours and miles up and down by the seaside. Did I mention seaside? Yes! Seaside! The last time I went there was with Autumn Girl's (only YST fellas will understand =.=) gang, last year. We climbed up on a big rock by the sea and it was 3am and we were trying to keep our candles and lanterns lit as the sea breeze was blowing hard! We could see Indonesia's Islands from there. haha.. Was thinking of swimming over to get a decent plate of Nasi Padang but then I might have been eaten by jellyfish or sharks on the way. It was quite a fun night. Will be going there this friday again YESSSSSSSSS....

I've been contemplating on whether to buy or not to buy a digital camera. hmm.. I've been wanting to buy the Canon IXUS 960 or Canon IXUS 970 is. hmm... But the only reason i'd need a digital cam is to capture "memories" haha. The only camera that i have now is in my phone. Well, the previous phone i had was also 2MP's but this one seems lower in quality compared to the Motorola i had before. (I'm using a Nokia now) anyway here's a sample pic.

Shit i don't know how to rotate it. LOL. and NO NO NO i'm not dating her!! Ughh.. you guys!! Give me a break!! goodness!! the point of this pic is my caricature! Anyway.. This is my studio mate, she came in the room I was practicing in just now in the afternoon and drew a caricature of me under a minute and so i took a photo of it. haha..

Oh wait. Now that i'm looking into the pics that i've taken with this phone i might as well just upload a few more haha..

This was in my room when everyone came over for a drink the other night. Cheers guys!! (Except for the not so intelligent guy that didn't look at the cam when I told him to. You know what I mean right, Wenqi? haha..

And this was the night when I had a barbeque with the Taiwanese contingent right INFRONT of YST!! Amazing place man! At night.. haha.. Look at the background of the pic (yes turn your head sideways it's good for your neck anyway) you can see the front of the conservatory! haha...

So anyway.. more pictures.. and i still have not found a way to rotate them.. hmm..

This was taken just before I left back to Singapore this year. It was in Marriott's Chinese restaurant... I miss the food back home =/ And i'm hungry now... In the pic is my dad and bro.

And this was taken yesterday... It's me! See ya guys!!!
