I've never been to me

I've never been to me by Charlene, OST Priscilla Queen of The Dessert



Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady, I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me

亲爱的你怎么不在我身边

<<亲爱的你怎么不在我身边>> 江美琪 又寂寞又美丽 track #3



这里的空气　很新鲜　这里的小吃　很特别
这里的 Latte　不像水　这里的夜景　很有感觉

在一万英尺　的天边　在有港口 View　的房间
在讨价还价　的商店　在凌晨喧闹　的三四点

可是亲爱的　你怎么不在我身边
我们有多少时间　能浪费

电话再甜美　传真再安慰
也不足以应付不能拥抱你　的遥远

我的亲爱的　你怎么不在我身边
一个人过一天　像过一年

海的那一边　乌云一整片
我很想为了你快乐一点

可是亲爱的　你怎么　不在身边

荳漿油條

was chatting with june last night about cheap cds at chinatown... and she was telling me about jj's cd which only costs her $6... i was telling her how cheapo i was to borrow the same cd from a friend and copy the files into mp3 and stored them inside my laptop... ha ha ha... here's one song that i would like to recommend from this album... maybe as a sequel to my previous entry...

<<荳漿油條>> 林俊傑 第II天堂 track #5

喝純白的荳漿 是純白的浪漫
望著你可愛臉蛋 和你純真的模樣

我傻傻對你笑 是你懮愁解藥
你說我就象油條 很簡單卻很美好

我知道 你和我 就象是荳漿油條
要一起吃下去 味道才會是美好
你需要我的傻笑 我需要你的擁抱
愛情就是要這樣它才不會淡掉

我知道 有時候 也需要吵吵鬧鬧
但始終也知道 只有你對我最好
荳漿離不開油條 讓我愛你愛到老
愛情就是要這樣它才幸福美好

我知道 都知道 你知道 你都知道
好不好 別偷笑 笑 讓我知就好

我喝完熱荳漿 卻唸著還想要
你吃完金黃油條 愛情又要再發酵

The Stepford Wives (its not another bimbotic movie ok?)

everyone is always looking for the perfect one... are you?

on several occassions when i was still a bus-person, i often hear this kind of conversation: "...my boyfriend must be the most handsome looking guy with 6 pacs and biceps, blah blah blah..." "... Oh my boyfriend must have a car, live in landed-property, preferably 6th avenue and blah blah blah..."

there is nothing perfect in life...not such thing as a perfect marriage, only great marriages, not such thing as the perfect partner, only wonderful partner... (well if you wish to say that the person is perfect in your eyes, by all means)

chee chee once told me this: people need to kiss many frogs in their lives in order that they find their prince / princess...

i dun buy this totally: for if we continue to kiss the frogs in our lives, there will soon be no more frogs to kiss...

and to june, when will i know i love a person? i can safely say this: i know i love a person when im able to accept her / him for who s/he is; its exactly the same person that i first know. and to change, believe tat s/he will change or i can change her / him to be that perfect partner that i have always been looking for is not realistic at all... if you cant accept who the person is, sad to say, you dun love the person (enough)

moral of the story? dun take the bus, drive, if you dun wish to be amuzed by superficial conversations... alternatively, go watch the movie and see for yourself wat love is all about (i dun earn commission for promoting the movie)

<<信仰爱情>> 范逸臣 信仰爱情 track #3

这场雨不知从何开始 真实 是你近我的清醒
像是兴奋剂 麻醉了自已 见你我措手不及

我试着问过我自已 无解深深着迷 迷失自已
越想接近你 越怕没有你 有没有好运降临

给我 信仰爱情的勇气 我的世界只有你
甜蜜确定 不放弃就让我可以深情 闭上眼精
深深呼吸 遇见你我是如此幸运

给我一个机会拥抱你 一生一秒也不要
忽远忽近 看不清给我允许守候你
从今天起 信仰爱情 有意义 因为你

我相信 因为有你

吻

<<吻>> 萧亚轩 爱的主打歌·吻 track #3

如果时间能把我们的思念稀释了
从此以后互不相干各自爱着别的人

只要不遇见忽然下雨的清晨
在起床的时候 会莫名的失神

说好决定要努力忘了啊
为何还有泪停在脸颊
你身边是否还是那个她
取代我在你醒来吻你吗
取代我在你醒来吻你吗

如果当时我们都能够勇敢的承认
困为太在乎对方所以才倔强的等待着

后来每个失眠的午夜时分
还不愿意后悔 却忍不住会问

说好决定要努力忘了啊
为何还有泪停在脸颊
你身边是否还是那个她
取代我在你醒来吻你吗
取代我在你醒来吻你吗

那段流着眼泪寻找解答的日子 已过去了
只是没想到爱情要 我们付出漫长想念代价

说好决定要努力忘了啊
为何还有泪停在脸颊
你身边是否还是那个她
取代我在你醒来吻你吗
取代我在你醒来吻你吗

NIKE Real Run 2004

Yeah! it was my first attempt to challenge the event yesterday...

it was fun running the event but was really beyond my expectations.... the thing is that: i have been training for the past few weeks for the run but it turn out tat we were supposed to run on the coastal line of sentosa for 3.5km! gosh~ it was the toughest part of the race; its not just a race against the body but a race against the mind as well.

well for a start the sand is soft and damp. so the moment when i step on them, my feet will natually 'sink' into the sand and there must be extra effort to lift them in order to continue running. and the most challenging part is tat it was the whole stretch of coastal line from palawan beach right up to siloso beach... so low morale when i realised tat "huh? i have to run all the way to siliso beach? but greatful thank-you and appreciation to the route-marshalls who were there and gave us the support - they were clapping and cheering for all the competitors and tat really gave me the motivation to go on...

well i completed the race but dun ask me for the timing cos i we started in batches and the end timing was only meant for the first batch of runners... i sure hope to complete the race within an hour... despite the coastal line challenge... oh ya... guess who i saw? ben and huiyi... so sweet to run and complete the race together...

but the not-so-pleasant thing is tat i got a L size t-shrit at the end of the race cos the organizers 'ran out of sizes'... this is very riduculous cos i had my size indicated on the registration form and they told me tat they ran out of size? then the even more ridiculous thing is tat they actually bother to ask participants at the collection booth "what size you wan?" when they actually have only size L left... i was like "duh, wats the point of asking in the first place?" and the worst thing is tat the L sized t-shirt actually is so long tat it reaches my running shorts such that i look as if im going around without my shorts!

but life goes on with or without my M-sized t-shirt... hope more pple i know will be willing to take up the challenge next year... time to get your butt off the chair you lazy bums!
