耶稣我需要你 - 璽恩

2012-09-10T21:55:00.003+08:00

天天問自己，該怎麼走下去，我看見自己，好多問題，
天天找尋走下去的目的，不想再盲目，不想再猶豫，
於是我遇見了你，開啟我的主和靈，就連呼吸也開始有意義，
當我沉浸你愛裡，追尋你真理，我的生命開始甦醒，
耶穌我需要你，就像沙漠需要雨，
活著離不開氣氧氣，就像我離不開你，
耶穌我需要你，像黑夜需要光明，
太陽離不開天際，我也離不開你。

小小船 - 達闊 Double Call

2012-09-09T18:49:00.000+08:00

小船小小船飄呀飄呀在大大的海上
海浪呀海浪像肚子餓的小孩鬧嚷嚷
小船小小船小小船載著大大的夢想
海浪大海浪最喜愛偷吃小船的夢想

小船小小船飄呀飄呀在大大的海上
海浪呀海浪像肚子餓的小孩鬧嚷嚷
小船小小船小小船載著大大的夢想
海浪大海浪最喜愛偷吃小船的夢想

狂風暴雨又來啦小船努力要抵抗
海浪滔滔我不怕可這旅途怎麼
那麼那麼那麼遙遠那麼那麼那麼顛簸
那麼那麼孤獨哦噢

* Chorus
一片藍藍大海上只能由我一個人去闖
勇敢划着船槳星星作伴夜裡不孤單
這片汪洋大海風雨不斷再累也不能投降
停止滑動船槳的那一刻大大夢想會有危險的

小小船也會累的會怕黑的會撐不住的
冷冷的大海上只能由我一個人作戰
爸爸說：不要怕風大雨大我來幫你擋
睡一睡吧我幫你划船一下吧

海浪滔滔卻不怕心中的主比困難大
Hey 愛我的就是祂天上的父也從未把我忘記
我可以放心
一片藍藍的大海上由我一個人去闖
勇敢划着船槳在夜裡也不孤單
就算大海翻騰風雨不斷再累也不要沮喪
但當我停下的那一刻夢想會有危險的

Be Calm by Fun.

As I walk through the streets of my new city
my back feeling much better, I suppose
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly I'm lost
On my street
On my block
Oh why, Oh why
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time it's for real, I can see
The tops of trees are turning red
The beggars near bodegas grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe
and be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.
I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
"I always see you looking out your window."
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Now every single crack, every penny that I pass,
says I should either leave or pick it up
But with every single buck I've made
I'm saddled with bad luck that came
the moment I was baptized
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
if only I could find my people or my place in life
and when they come a'carolin'
so loud, so bright, the theremin
will lead us to a chorus
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:
Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.
I don't remember much that night,
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
When from that street corner came a song
And I can't remember the man,
The panhandler or his melody.
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.

Once upon another time by Sara Bareilles

2012-06-15T12:18:00.002+08:00

Once upon another time
Somebody's hands who felt like mine
Turned a key into good drive
Was free
I recall the sun sank low
Buckley on the radio
Cigarette was burning slow
So breathe

Just yellow lines, and tire marks
And some kiss skin in handle bars
And where I stood, was where I was
To be

No enemies to call my own
No porchline on to pull me home
And where I was is beautiful
Because I was free

Once upon another time
Before I knew which life was mine
Before I left the child behind, be
I saw myself in summer nights
And stars that up like candle lights
I make my wish but mostly, I believed

And yellow lines and tire marks
Some kiss skin in handle bars
And where I stood, was where I was
To be

Once upon another time
Decided nothing good in dying
So I would just keep on driving
Because I was free

倉頡 -- 五月天

2012-05-15T20:55:00.002+08:00

一顆葡萄有多甜美用盡了所有的圖騰和語言描寫
想一個人有多想念那又是文字失效瞬間

結一個紀念的繩結記錄你離去後萬語和千言瓦解
升起了慌張的狼煙我遺落在最孤獨史前的荒野

多遙遠多糾結多想念多無法描寫疼痛和瘋癲你都看不見
想穿越想飛天想變成造字的倉頡寫出能讓你快回來的詩篇

一隻蝴蝶有多鮮豔能不能飛越過猜忌和冷漠世界
給你的簡訊和留言說不清萬分之一追悔

當星宿都沉沒山岳只盼你會抬頭看我寄託的彎月
當一個文明即將熄滅有什麼證明你我存在的歲月

多遙遠多糾結多想念多無法描寫疼痛和瘋癲你都看不見
想穿越想飛天想變成造字的倉頡創造能讓你想起我的字眼

多遙遠多糾結多想念多無法描寫疼痛和瘋癲你都看不見
想穿越想飛天想變成造字的倉頡寫出能讓你快回來的詩

需要你需要你需要你想逆轉時間回到最開始有你的世界
想穿越想飛天想變成造字的倉頡寫出讓宇宙能重來的詩篇
天雨粟鬼夜哭思念漫太古

Common, Simple, Beautiful by Jennifer Chung

2012-04-10T10:41:00.004+08:00

Don't you agree
When they all say
"Home is where the heart is."
But do you see
With every step that you take,
You get further away
From where the heart is.

It's so easy to be blinded
& caught up in the clouds where everything's in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.

I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite k now what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.

I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say.
Man, I miss her & can't wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.

Isn't it nice,
To simply know,
There's somewhere you can go back to.
So it's a big sacrifice
Everytime that you decide
You can't even if you want to.

It's so easy to be blinded
& caught up in the clouds where everything's in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.

I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite k now what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.

I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say.
Man, I miss her & can't wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.

好久没有在这里好好地整理我的思绪了，其实在这一年里，很多是我都把他们埋在心里，我也知道这样很不健康，但是也没有办法啊，谁叫我找不到我心里的那条虫？有些事情我都不懂要怎样发泄出来，所以说我是很容易心理不平衡的。

这个学期对我来说真的有一点难熬，工程分析对我来说是真的很大的挑战，我的教授是那种非常。。。怎么说呢？好听就叫要我们自己学习，不好听就叫懒惰，老实说，这个学期只剩下两个星期，但是他什么都没有认真的教过我们，而且这门科目是真的蛮难的，上一个月考，少过一半的人及格。这个学期的功课也比较花时间，尤其是工程的功课，而且刚好所有的功课都是接二连三地来，前几个星期还真的忙到喘不过气来。
说到上个星期，见了我的导师，他建议我放掉一些科目，注重在几个有把握的，但是就要延后毕业，说真的，我好想这样做，但是会花费很多，延迟一年毕业，就要多用父母一年的钱，我真的不想这样浪费了。

说说梦想吧，我想以后可以为环保的工作出一份力，以后就想在这一领域发展，但是我不懂经济上会是怎样的情况，我不懂等我毕业后，这领域在马来西亚会发展到什么程度，我也不懂这领域在马来西亚有没有需求。我想做有关绿色科技的行业，但是我却不懂这行业里有那些公司。如果条件允许的话，我想去瑞士读硕士，读一个关于环境与科技的课程，但是我的成绩却不想别人那么好。。。其实经常有人问我学校的成绩如何，老实说，真的很烂，大概是2.1左右吧，比起其他人，我的成绩真的很差。但是很多人更我说，成绩只是一项指标，衡量一个人的考试能力是多好，说真的，我不是那种会背书的人，我考试的能力也很差，经常紧张得头脑一边空白，也难怪我的成绩会那么差。

有时候，我会在想，神对我们每个人都有一定的计划，我常在想，祂对我的计划到底是什么啊？到底读工程学是不是祂要我走的路？常听别人的见证，说神怎么样祝福他们，但是我却不懂祂对我的祝福是什么，当然，除了基本的需求祂都会赐给我们，但是我却感受不到祂在我身上还有些怎样的祝福，可能是我迟钝还是什么吧。。。有一段时期，我还对神失去了信心呢。
我常常在想，如果可以和神交谈就好了。。。

好像再多看看这个世界，多去别的地方走走。。。

Perfect Sense

2012-03-31T23:37:00.001+08:00

just watched a movie, "Perfect Sense", the world is having a disease, that people will slowly lost their senses, it's the most beautiful love movie i ever watched.

first, people will overwhelmed by grief, then lost their nose, Michele is a chef, where his restaurant is opposite of Susan's house, an epidemiologist, they started to date.

second, people will feel the terror, and a moment of hunger, then their lost their taste, Michele and Susan fell in love. people still do what they used to do with the best they can.

third, people become rage, then lost their hearing, where Michele lost control and Susan left him. the world become chaos, and Michele was forced to stay at home.

lastly, before the night come, it was beautiful day, every people woke up with joy and happiness, they share the joy, the warmth, the understanding, and love, Susan went back to find Michele, when they approaching each other, just a few steps away, they lost their eye sight, (and here is my favourite quote)

It's dark now, but they feel each other's breath, and they know all they need to know. They kiss and they feel each other's tear on their cheeks. And if there had anybody left to see them, then they would look like normal lovers caressing each other's faces, bodies closed together, eyes closed, oblivious to the world around them. Because that is how life goes on. Like that.

the way the director present the plot is so unique, and beautiful that i can really feel what they felt. the name of the title is perfectly match with the movie, even losing the senses one by one, people still found hope, and life goes on, and the perfect sense is not what we can sense with our organ, but our heart.

Tears In Heaven by Eric Clapton

2012-03-11T22:17:00.001+08:00

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?

Would you feel the same

If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong and carry on

'Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

Would you hold my hand

If I saw you in heaven?

Would you help me stand

If I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my way through night and day

'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees

Time can break your heart, have you begging please, begging please

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure

And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven

Would you know my name

If I saw you in heaven?

Would you feel the same

If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong and carry on

Cause I know I don't belong here in heaven

2012-03-01T23:10:00.001+08:00

i starting to doubt my choice about my future, i am so lost about the path in future, never have a chance to take a glance of it, i guess no one ever have this opportunity. i just don't know what can i do, don't know what will i be.

i don't know engineering is the right course for me or not, i have so many vision in it, maybe they're just imaginary, never been true. i don't really understand engineering, i'm not clear whether i have the ability to graduate from university, the expectations are pressing me too hard, pressing on my wound. i am not good enough, perhaps not even qualify in this course. this is the toughest semester i ever face, these stresses are suffocating me, i just want to escape, and my faith is shaking since last year, i really don't know how much more challenges i can take.

i just want to escape, everything i did is not pleasing, even myself. i don't know what i really want, what should i really do, i just don't want being turned into working machine, yet i can't preform well in academics, i shall not dream too big, the future i want does not fit my current achievements, i'm just one of the loser that didn't do well in any aspect.

i did badly in all aspects in my life, i didn't honour God, i can't fit the social group around me, i didn't perform well in academics, i can't even manage my personal life well. some time i just wish i can have someone to talk to.

Stronger by Kelly Clarkson

2012-02-21T23:14:00.001+08:00

You know the bed feels warmer
Sleeping here alone
You know I dream in color
And do the things I want

You think you got the best of me
Think you've had the last laugh
Bet you think that everything good is gone
Think you left me broken down
Think that I'd come running back
Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

You heard that I was starting over with someone new
They told you I was moving on over you

You didn't think that I'd come back
I'd come back swinging
You try to break me
But you see...

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter
Footsteps even lighter
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Thanks to you I got a new thing started
Thanks to you I'm not the broken-hearted
Thanks to you I'm finally thinking 'bout me
You know in the end the day you left was just my beginning
In the end...

Dolly

2012-02-07T00:35:00.001+08:00

farewell, Dolly.

五月天 -- 乾杯

2012-02-05T22:05:00.006+08:00

會不會有一天時間真的能倒退
退回你的我的回不去的悠悠的歲月
也許會有一天世界真的有終點
也要和你舉起回憶釀的甜
和你再乾一杯

如果說要我選出代表青春那個畫面
浮現了那滴眼淚那片藍天那年畢業
那一張邊哭邊笑還要擁抱是你的臉
想起來可愛可憐可歌可泣可是多懷念

懷念總是突然懷念不談條件
當回憶衝破考卷衝出歲月在我眼前
我和你留著汗水喝著汽水在操場邊
說好了無論如何一起走到未來的世界

現在就是那個未來那個世界
為什麼你的身邊我的身邊不是同一邊
友情曾像諾亞方舟堅強誓言
只是我望著海面等著永遠模糊了視線

會不會有一天時間真的能倒退
退回你的我的回不去的悠悠的歲月
也許會有一天世界真的有終點
也要和你舉起回憶釀的甜
和你再乾一杯

這些年買了四輪買了手錶買了單眼
卻發現追不到的停不了的還是那些
人生是只有認命只能宿命只好宿醉
只剩下高的笑點低的哭點卻沒成熟點

成熟就是幻想幻滅一場磨鍊
為什麼只有夢想越磨越小小到不見
有時候好想流淚好想流淚卻沒眼淚
期待會你會不會他會不會開個同學會

他在等你你在等我我在等誰
又是誰孩子沒睡電話沒電心情沒準備
天空不斷黑了又亮亮了又黑
那光陰滄海桑田遠走高飛再沒力氣追

會不會有一天時間真的能倒退
退回你的我的回不去的悠悠的歲月
也許會有一天世界真的有終點
也要和你舉起回憶釀的甜
和你再乾一杯

會不會有一天時間真的能倒退
退回你的我的回不去的悠悠的歲月
也許會有一天世界真的有終點
也要和你舉起回憶釀的甜
和你再乾一杯

終究會有一天我們都變成昨天
是你陪我走過一生一回
匆匆的人間

有一天就是今天
今天就是有一天
說出一直沒說對你的感謝
和你再乾一杯
再乾一杯永遠
喝了就能萬歲
歲歲和年年

時間都停了他們都回來了
懷念的人啊等你的來到

時間都停了他們都回來了
懷念的人啊等你的來到

Wonderwall by Oasis

2012-01-30T21:19:00.000+08:00

I keep on listening this song lately

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

Back beat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how

Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

to an irresponsible one

2012-01-18T22:34:00.003+08:00

i hate that i have to get angry with someone, someone that i know, or maybe 'knew' is better word. when i put my trust on him, he keep on letting me down, he disappointed me. i don't like this feeling, because he is not a kid.

i hate people that cannot keep their promise, and dare not face it like a man, and in fact, the people i angry about is a man. avoiding to face me isn't the solution of a real man, why don't you face it, face me and tell that you're sorry?

i hate people who borrowed something important from me and do not want to return, and keep on telling me when he will return, and he never show up on that day or he will say he forget to bring it. what? kindergarten student?

i hate people that always wanted my help for things that they can complete by themselves. why you have time to hang out with other people but can't allocate a little time for this important thing? what else you know about your responsibility?

i hate people avoiding things they dislike, but never really face it and trying to deal with it, you don't deserve our concerns, and you're not the centre of our life, you have to stand on your own.

what you did is shameful to yourself, i am not proud to have a friend like you, you disgusted me.

a brief journal of December

2011-12-27T17:57:00.003+08:00

1st week, went for LifeGame 2.0 in Kampar, is a 4 days camp/game, the concept of the game is really nice and impressive, and meet a lecture from FES in the camp, haha, what a coincidence.

2nd week, suppose i should start prepare for final exam, since the 1st week spent for LifeGame, but i didn't, instead, i just hanging around, wasting my time watching sitcom. and receive quite a lot of wishes on birthday, watched Mission Impossible 4, really nice action movie, should watch it if you haven't.

3rd week, final exam, and all the papers were prepared very last minute, the 1st and last papers were prepared only in 3 hours, and the 2nd paper is just around 5-6 hours, must be grateful if i happen to pass all of them! and watched Sherlock Holmes after the exam, very nice movie, the duo is still that gay, haha, i afraid there will be no 3rd one since the copyright owner not happy with the 'gay dynamic' between them, and too bad, Irene dead too early...

and Christmas, normal routine, have dinner at church on the eve, supper after the service, stay up until quite late, then wake up last minute on 2nd day. have a family gathering at night, and planned have it again next week.

p.s. the cake on Christmas night is so delicious

4th week, paint my house, spent almost 2 days for it, and my muscle are so pain, old already?

plan to buy cloth for new year this week, i have RM 100 jusco voucher!

2011-12-19T01:15:00.001+08:00

much to share, yet, so less to say...
will blog soon, after final exam
