How much a blind man's dialect songs can be so influential..
Yet someone who was once so close to me gave up so easily..
It's really a difference like that of heaven and hell.
I don't really know how to speak my own dialect (which I'm quite ashamed of, haha). I keep telling myself I've gotta learn how to master my dialect properly, and that how, someone who doesn't know how to speak cannot exactly call himself a taiwanese.. But then again, I keep wasting my holidays, but I hope after A levels it would be all so different.
And how, words, painted from the hands of a blind man, can touch the hearts of many.
蕭煌奇 - 阿嬤的話
作詞：蕭煌奇
作曲：蕭煌奇
編曲：胡官宏
在細漢的時陣 阮阿嬤對我尚好
甲尚好的物伴攏會留乎我
伊嘛定定帶我去幼稚園看人在七桃
看人在辦公伙兒 看人在覓相找
伊定定跟阮說 叫阮著要好好仔讀冊
嘸通大漢像恁老爸仔這麼狼狽
在彼個時陣 阮攏聽攏嘸
阿嬤 你到底是在講什麼
大漢了後 才知影阿嬤的話
我會甲永遠永遠放塊心肝底
想可一步一步的過去 定定攏會乎人真難忘
時間一分一秒塊過去 在阮的心內定定攏會想到伊
阿嬤你今嘛在叨位 阮在叫你你甘有聽到
阮的認真甲阮的成功你甘有看到
阮在叫你你知影
沒阿嬤你今嘛過的好麼 甘有人塊甲你照顧
希望後世人阮擱會凍來乎你疼
作你永遠的孫仔擱叫你一聲「阿嬤」

Words
Just feelin' a lil random.. Like sometimes after reading something that actually makes much sense do I reflect about somethings.. And how much we owe to culture for creating communication media so that we understand each other better.
And how much, for the sake of 'the future', we forgo our roots, our roots, our culture, our heritage, our history, hoping for economic progress.
On paper, we have progressed as one world.
But how much have we progressed spiritually?
Not all things can be measured and recorded. We may be able to take pictures as evidence and proof of our treasured memories, but no matter what kind of golden chest we put them into, they can never become alive again.. Technology, through one magical device we call camera, allows us to take down memories of that split second... But as much as we'd like to relive it in the future, it is a nothing more than a mere (not merily as junkang pronounced, ha) replicate.
If only my voice reaches out somewhere, perhaps we will forever be living on borrowed past. Trying to encourage preservation of culture, but here we are allowing globalisation and homogenisation to devour our roots. There's so many examples by simply observing the things around us. If one doesn't think the way I am, I'd like to think he's probably numb all the things around him that he's grown, day by day, to succumb and become oblivion to them. We don't know who we are anymore.
We are, indeed, a lost generation.
I'd like to end of with quotes of words, because I do think words have evolved tremendously due to culture enrichment. We may embrace another language, but it is equally important to remember our own and accept them for who we are. As descendants of the original language users through so many generations, I think it's only right we preserve it.

Thanks everybody.
I woke up feelin' like it was just another day.
6.00am. Woke up just to wake up patricia for her first day of the school term. Gosh i didn't expect myself to really wake up on time so early! HAHA. Anyways she was the first to wish me a happy birthday (10pm the night before) actually. But that's coz of the time difference between melbourne and singapore. So she was 2hours early. But it doesn't really matter. It's the sincerity that counts. =D Just wanna thank pat for being a really good friend all these while. And reading your post on her blog really touched me =D I hope, as much as you do, that we can maintain this long distance friendship for a long, long, long time to come. Thanks patricia! =D
(i'll post those pictures as soon as I've got the complete set)
Zhiling and Yuxiang were the other two who messaged me at the stroke of 12am (singapore time). Zhi Ling, i suppose, got to know about my birthday through cheryl i guess. Sometimes I do feel her indifference to me, but oh well, just wanna thank her for her birthday wish. As for yuxiang, I guess there's really too much to talk about, we've shared so many things, yet there always seems to be so many things we can share and talk about, for we have become such good friends through a very uncommon way. Never in the same class, but we somehow got to know each other through our daily dose of soccer back in those sec 2, 3 days. And besides my family, he's a person I'm fully indebted to. Without you, I doubt I would have been who I am today. Let's keep our friendship long-lasting, and if there really comes a day we'll have to make sacrifices to achieve our dreams, I'm sure willing to risk it with ya. Life without a dream, and the pursue of it, is completely meaningless. Thanks for going the distance with me.
On the way to school, chufeng smsed and wished me happy birthday as well. I really havent hung out with chufeng in singapore all these while, but she's a nice fellow taiwanese friend of mine, and I do enjoy your company especially when I go back taiwan (i don't have any other friends in taiwan, and not that you're just someone to keep me company) i really hope we can keep in touch once in a while. Of course we'll be able to go out together more often after a levels and back in taiwan - i won't be going back taiwan as often because of my ns commitments from next year onwards. Thanks for your friendship. =D As for eunice who texted me after that, and although i must admit i dun really know you, thanks for the birthday wish.
Thanks to gabriel for your birthday wish too, though it sounded rather sloppy. haha. nvm i still appreciate that.
Immediately after morning assembly YiFeng came up to me and gave me a hershey's chocolate bar. But eh! It wasn't even chilled. So it was all melted. Haha. But for a guy to give another guy chocolate for his bday.. hmm.. a little suggestive i suppose? haha. but he's a nice guy and another jason mraz fan! We could go watch jason mraz's concerts next time, i know this time singfest seems impossible for us, financially and given the situation we're in - stress! But I shall remember to give u back smth in return for your birthday. 13 sept 13 sept!
During recess, zhiling messaged me to walk towards her class table. There cheryl tan passed me a box of gifts. Didn't even give me a clue! Except that it was fragile. That was just the beginning! I was so nervous when I walked towards her class coz this girl was there! And perhaps I was wrong, but I hope I heard correctly, that yuling said she wished me happy birthday! woot. Finally she recognised me existence. After like 5 months? Since valentines day. haha. Woot! After that I was so happy through out the day I couldn't calm myself down in the chem lecture after that =D Oh yea here's pictures of Cheryl's gift:
[A nicely wrapped blue box]
[Surprise! Two nicely decorated mugs and a nicely done card =D]
THANKS CHERYL! I shall try to become a good guy whenever I can in order to save this sheep from the horrid wolf (junkang). haha. A nice person, although I'm always the victim of her vicious, provoking language that somehow always is on the thin fine line that distinguishes joking and genuine provocation. Haha! A nice, fun loving person to be with. Ok when you and zhiling's bday's nearing then I'll treat you all to the chocolate fondue. PROMISE!
Thanks to my biological older brother, whom I just refer to as da_ge. ha. U may have missed my last birthday i'm gonna have with my braces on, and that sometimes whatever you say really pisses me off, I guess as I grow and mature, I have learnt to overlook some of them sometimes. We're a family after all. A simple message was enough - since you want to treat us to lunch this saturday! HAHA =D
Thanks to BaoChuan, perhaps the only person whom I really talk to most from class 4v. Seriously. And to think I didn't really talk to the girls in class. A lively person, and someone who always brings up fresh conversation topics! Thank you, and whilst I'm gonna be realy busy these few months, rest assure we're gonna have our steamboat once my nightmare's over! Your simple message was enough to showcase your sincerity =D
Oh and then i think JunWei suddenly remembered it was my bday. haha. Last night when he called I thought he was gonna wish me happy bday. then it turned out it was a discussion for tuesday's dinner -.- haha. But nvm that, you're one of the closer few I know from 2/3. Secondary school days may have seem so distant and irrelevant from our current lives, but thanks for accompanying me to go ns check-up, to go for the fir concert that's coming up, for organising things as and when. A conservative person, though I very much like his cool personality a lot. Thanks junwei for the birthday sms wish =D
After school Hannah, my air rifle junior, smsed me to greet me. Perhaps I cant really relate to a lot of juniors these days, but yea you're a friendly person who tries to keep friends close, especially with people like ZhiWei and myself. A rather eccentric person though =/ But thanks for your greetings =D I hope you're doing fine in tpjc.
Jing Nan, my penpal who just came back from Canada (she's having summer break now, waiting to enter uni), suggested we meet at white sands. Actually I really didn't think much about what they were gonna do, but I was so so SO delighted to see her again! Along with Wan Ting of course. We met at pasir ris mrt, although they had initially wanted me to meet them at macdonalds. I was so happy when i saw her, then she gave that dao face! and both of them acted really weirdly. They asked me to go all the way to mac 2nd floor and then they just rushed off - and came back with one mini bens and jerry ice cream cake! haha. So grateful! We had fun taking loads of pictures, i'll upload some here when jing sends me them =D
[Pictures of Jing, Wanting, myself]
The three of us did talk about quite a bit of things till I receive a very, VERY unexpected call. Overseas call. When i answered to hear a super strong caucasian accent, I knew who it was. Almost spontaneously, immediately, sporadically, instantly. it was AIDAN!!!! A new zealander friend I've not talked to for a long long LONG time. And you know what, after 2 minutes of talking, my hp battery died on me! I panicked so much I hurriedly switched to wanting's phone hoping aidan would try calling me again. And oh my god he didn't give up trying to reach me. He called back, and we had some 30,40 mins of talk time. Got to know him and his recent life better, details I shall not say, coz we simply shared so much things during that short 30mins I'm having difficulty trying to recall all the things we talked about, not to mention in sequence. haha. After I got home I hurriedly emailed him (as I post this latest blog post), and gosh, i'm still feeling the after-effects of excitedness! =D i hope he's all well and pursuing his dreams! =D
Oh yea, not forgettin' to thank Lilian, Rahul and Farah (i'm not sure who this is) who left comments at my friendster.
Of course, thanks to my family for really going to buy Swensen's Ice Cream cake for my birthday. I know it's kinda a waste of money to really be spending so much on my birthday, that's why all the more i appreciate what they've done for me. I even got the same mug as my sister (she wanted me to have the same mug with another print) so we can have a family of mugs for personal use I guess. Drink more water! haha. it's good for you.
Other special thanks:
Hazel, Shirley, Li Yun for the cap and dry-fit shirt for my birthday present (8 july tues).
YongJie, Szejun, Alab for the company at k-box (12 july sat) and treating me! Thanks for so much for providing the only happy things I have during these 2 fucked up life of mine in mjc.
Hmm.. did i leave out anyone?

I guess family forms a real big important part of everyone's lives.. without a family is like a tree without leaves.. without roots too. Thank you to my family for being who they are. =D

So fast.
It's not often that I go out on late sunday nights. Not anymore since being in mj. But 7th July 2008 was different. The following day, a monday, was youth day, my last in fact, so there was a day off. A great timing to have a break after a hectic 2 weeks of school. Ha.
After tuition which ended at 11, I raced off to the usual netball court to find the rest of the guys, only to realise half-way I had left my shoes at tuition centre. Hey it's not that I carry another bag to tuition very frequently! So it just slipped my mind I was carrying another bag. Hai. So there it was, missed another morning of soccer session with the rest of the guys.
Walking home alone without tired feet was weird for me. So without the work out I guess that gave me the chance to have enough time to catch on some lost sleep in the afternoon. Slept from 2 to 5, before the call from Mum woke me up - time to meet Patricia!
Actually I had thought kumar was going to join us, but nevermind I still met patricia at 6.30 at city hall. Had planned before hand to grab some bite before going to singapore flyer.
She reached city hall first, I was slightly late by 10 mins (went to change aussie currency before taking the mrt) =X Then I couldn't find her although she said she was going shoe-hunting LOL! Turned out she had walked up the escalators at the middle while I walked all the way to the escalators to marina square via city link. There was a great distance between the two linkways -.- Walked all the way back to find her since she said she was 'missing'. Haha. She was 'shocked' when I appeared out of nowhere - she was noticing the figures at the far end when I was just in front of her HAHA.
She passed to me 2 GIGANTIC bottles (500g) of PIAF skin lotion that my mum wanted, along with a jar of AUSTRALIAN sweets which was really very nice! The jar was attractive as well, and the words 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' was so apt coz my bday's just around the corner =D
[PICTURES OF WHAT SHE GOT ME]
So as we walked thru citylink she was trying to show me how to solve rubik's cube. She's really mastered it well, being able to solve a jumbled rubik's cube within several minutes. And she's taught me how to solve it! At least the first 2 layers =D
We went to some kopitiam near singapore flyer coz she said she missed asian food, so we had satay =/ and after that off we went to singapore flyer!
I think it's her first time there, so we got to do a lot of things. Here's some pictures we took! And we actually made a bear in eeyore costume at the make-a-bear shop..!
(Pictures not in order of time taken)
(Tries to look away from the camera.. and succeeded!)

I think it's her first time there, so we got to do a lot of things. Here's some pictures we took! And we actually made a bear in eeyore costume at the make-a-bear shop..!
(Pictures not in order of time taken)
(Tries to look away from the camera.. and succeeded!)
