Tomorrow..

Decided to make this my signature song..
A song that I would sing to myself all the time..
No matter what happens hope shall not die..
A song that I would sing for you ..
When hope doesn't come knocking your door..

*TOMORROW - Annie*

The sun'll come out 
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar 
That tomorrow 
There'll be sun! 

Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow 
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow 
'Til there's none! 

When I'm stuck with a day 
That's gray, 
And lonely, 
I just stick out my chin 
And Grin, 
And Say, 
Oh! 

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow 
So ya gotta hang on 
'Til tomorrow 
Come what may 

Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow! 
You're always
A day
Away!

I Am Not Earth..

I AM NOT EARTH..
At least not the one you should look down at..
Or even the one you should step over on..

You can be the moon or stars..
As high as you can reach..
As bright as you can wish..
But please..
PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE ME..
From your own perspective..
Cause we are not under the same blue sky..
With mine has rainbow and sunshine..

You know I will touch the sky..
Through sweat and time..
With a pace of mine..

A Reminder from Me to Myself..

I shall.........I shall........
NO!! I must!! I must!!
Always remember what I wish to realize in life..
Then Run for it!! Run for it!!
Do not get tempted by the fancies that would blind the eyes and mind..
Or tricked into the candy traps that have been set by the evil witches of
HALLUCINATION..
They will
NOT BRING ME ANYWHERE..
Leave all of them behind to survive..

Live with Languages..

"YOU LIVE A NEW LIFE FOR EVERY NEW LANGUAGE YOU 
  SPEAK..
  IF YOU KNOW ONLY ONE LANGUAGE..
  YOU LIVE ONLY ONCE.."

A saying which I cannot agree more..
Like me, I was in Chinese education for my whole life until three years ago..
With only an hour a day of limited exposure back then..
English was never my playground..
You shall not be surprised that time if I couldn't even form a proper sentence without struggling for words and grammar..

But somehow somewhere fate found me..
I picked up my English during these three years..
Now I have been living with it since then..
It gave me a chance to live as a different person..
And opened up a whole new world for me when I slowly mastering it..

I came to understand that when a new language is learnt..
The language itself is not alone..
It comes along with its culture and history..
Followed by its native speakers' wisdom, behaviour and attitude towards life that have been accumulated over the years..
Without I realizing it, I adapted these qualities into my personality..
which made me fitted to be like everyone else in the community..
Enjoying things that English speakers would enjoy
which I probably would not learn to appreciate if it were not because of the language..

In fact, being able to switch freely between both languages..
I am extremely grateful and lucky to have witnessed 
the beauty of languages that lies in between thousands years of human civilization..
Telling their hidden stories through ancient symbols..

Lost..

I think..
I AM ACTUALLY PART OF YOU..
Especially when it comes to music..
Those songs that I keep closed to my heart today..
I picked them up all from you..
Slowly I give up telling others about our story..
I do not want the world to see me..
Cause I do not think that they understand..



I lost myself somewhere long ago when I fell in love with you..
BUT I HAVE NO REGRETS FOR BEING SO..

If I Were To Be Someone Else..

I always have this illusion that

I were elsewhere playing someone else's character..
There are times which I wish to be an artist
drawing on a Gondola in Venice..
There are times which I see myself
being a hero serving next to one of the Great Emperors in Chinese Dynasty..
Well I even wish to be the Queen dancing for Ramses II..
Or a dreams seeker wandering in the center of New York City..
I fantasize to be someone else other than just me over here..
Is it a sign showing that I am not satisfied with my own life??

Here it goes again..
Vicinity changing in front of my eyes..
I am now a pirate sailing across the seven oceans..
Searching for the legendary treasure trove..
The ship of imagination brought me across the world..
I would love to be extraordinary..
Yet if I were to be someone else..
Do I have the courage to go on my own adventure??

Those songs..

Those songs have come back..
Even before I realized it..
They have penetrated into my heart..
Poisoned my mind..
I couldn't resist their call..
I couldn't even move but being carried away..


Music is my drug..
I get stoned in those soul-touching songs..
High we go beyond the stars..
Far away from reality and up to their world..
A place where I find my lost memories of the past..
Touch my indescribable feeling of the present..
And see my underlaying images of the future..


Some songs are emotions..
They tell my story through notes..
Walked me through my ups and downs..


Over the years I thought they have left me..
Left me with some new songs in my new life..
And today they came back..
Just for me to realize that I'm still the same old me..
When I first met them..
