Titanic

Went to Wen Qiang's house yesterday. I was lazy to wake up early, but I was also desperate for some exercise, so I went for badminton at 10. As usual I was the only one drenched in sweat. :P

Then we went back to her house for potluck. I'd brought jelly, which I had prepared while watching "Pocahontas" the day before. hee... while waiting for the food to be ready, they decided to watch "Titanic". Didn't really want to watch it then... I mean they were talking and stuff and I would prefer to watch this tragic film alone. [Must be hard to believe that a TV nut like me is watching this blockbuster for the first time]

It was sad. Luckily I wasn't the only one crying. I think the film was shot beautifully. The panic as the ship began to be flooded; the desperation to get onto the lifeboat... Damn those rich people! Especially that Joseph Bruce Ismay. He did get the headline that he had wanted...at the expense of thousands of lives. How could they not prepare enough lifeboats? Preparing only sufficient boats for first-class passengers...crap.

An old couple holding each other close in bed, preparing for the imminent death; a mother tucking her two children in; a mother comforting her crying child, saying everything will be over soon; a group of four musicians who were asked to perform light and cheery music to alleviate the panic as everyone else were scrambling onto the lifeboats. Their dedication to music in the face of death was admirable.; a group of people gathering around Father Byles who was praying for all of them... Jack asking Rose to promise to stay alive... Jack sinking into the icy waters...

Cherie was sitting beside me and giving sceptical comments like "aiyah 演戏嘛..." ... ...

Felt sad for a long time after watching... and tired from all the crying. I went home and slept for 12 hours. Really, I slept at 12.30am and woke up 12.30pm. And my whole body is aching from playing badminton.

Read the memorable quotes from Titanic here.

and Wen Qiang flew off to Denmark yesterday. Kind of sudden...

《突然好想你》

那天听yes 93.3 龙虎榜，听丁志勇说《突然好想你》的词写得太棒了，怎么会有人写出这么好的词。让我好好奇。阿信的写词功力可不是盖的喔，《倔强》is a good example.

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚
绞痛着不平息

最怕突然听到你的消息
想念如果会有声音
不愿那是悲伤的哭泣
事到如今
终於让自已属於我自已
只剩眼泪还骗不过自己

突然好想你 你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你 突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

我们像一首最美丽的歌曲
变成两部悲伤的电影
为什麽你 带我走过最难忘的旅行
然後留下最痛的纪念品

我们那麽甜 那麽美 那麽相信
那麽疯 那麽热烈的曾经
为何我们 还是要奔向各自的幸福
和遗憾中老去

突然好想你 你会在哪里
过的快乐或委屈
突然好想你
突然锋利的回忆
突然模糊的眼睛

最怕空气突然安静
最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆突然翻滚 绞痛着不平息
最怕突然听到你的消息
最怕此生已经决定自己过
没有你却又突然 听到你的消息

文字浅白，却又能够勾起内心深处的感动。好悲。。。

LOOK AT THE SKY!

OHMYGOODNESS！

right now if you look at the sky in the southwest direction, here's what you'll see (and what I am seeing now):
Venus--bright as ever
a very cute very thin crescent Moon
Jupiter
...and I can barely make out another celestial object with my naked eye...so I went to check it up on Stellarium and guess what? It's MERCURY!!! (the domicile of virgo is mercury, just as the domicile of capricorn is saturn =) )

I dunno why, but seeing this gets me all excited and overwhelmed...and frustrated cos there is no one to share my joy with.

Update at 7.53pm: Haha my mom just finished mopping the floor and went to look at the sky. Her eyesight is pretty good; she can still make out Mercury...hahaha
Mercury is at an altitude of about 5degrees...barely above the top floor of the flat across the street. Argh...demolish that flat!

So I gather I am destined to be an amateur astronomer. Or star-gazer, I should say. Haha I sound like some centaur from Harry Potter world. I like to look at the sky, and wonder, and think about the myths and signs and all sorts of romantic stuff. I'm not really into cosmo and neutrinos and dark matter...

Garasu no Tsubasa ~hoshi no kinka~

theme song of jdorama Shin Hoshi no Kinka (aka 新白色之恋. watched it when i was sec 2?）:

Konna ni tsuyokute, konna ni yowakute
Mahou ni kakatta setsunai omoi
Kitto ano hi kara nemurenai, zutto
Anata wo omou to namida ga kobore ochite kuru

Aishiteru, aishisugiteru,
aishikata mo shiranai kuse ni

GARASU no tsubasa hiroge, omoikiri kake nukete
Taiyou ni tokasarete, tsuiraku shitemo
Subete wo ushinau toki, anata eto todoke inori
Kiseki wo shinjite yukeru kara

Ichiban chikakute, ichiban tookute
Kitto dare yori mo wakatteru noni
Tomodachi no mama de te to te ga furetara
Doushiyou mo naku itoshiku naru koko ni iru noni

Kizutsuite, kizuteukete iru,
iyashikata mo shiranai kuse ni

Hi no ataru sakamichi de, anata no te no nukumori
Oikakete tsukamitai, iki wo hazumasete
Mou sukoshi no jikan to, sukoshi dake no sayonara de
Futari no subete ga kawaru kara

Fushigi na unmei wo nakushitakunai kara
Mou namida... misenai kara

GARASU no tsubasa hiroge, anata no hoshi wo mezasu
Ginga sae mo koeteku, eien no jikan
Karada wa kieusete mo ikite iku koto no imi to
Anata wo shinjiru tsuyoi kokoro

Shinjiru tsuyoi kokoro...

performed by Hoshino Mari, who's also the lead actress in the show. No wonder I found her quite familiar-looking... She's Aoko in "Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo 2005 "
