Jeno Liu - Adore You



"崇拜你 " (English: Adore You)

Though I grew up "studying" Chinese (Mandarin mostly), I don't pretend to be fluent, though I working my way to that. It's especially hard for me to discern mandarin when it's sung, because you lose all the distinct intonations to actually differentiate the words, you can only try and understand them through context and how words or characters are string together, which I guess explains why all Chinese music videos always have the lyrics as subtitles.
With that intro out of the way, "Adore You" is a featured song in a Taiwanese show I've been watching and I always love listening to it whenever they play it during a scene. Jeno Liu's voice is so warm and sweet. It surprised me to find out that she's the same girl I knew as Jade Liu who won 3rd in singing competition in China. New name, new hair, new style; talk about a complete image overhaul! But I'm happy with her decision. She stands out more now, and her music has more character to it.

After getting the song stuck in my head, I proceeded to look for the lyrics so I could sing along properly. Knowing the words only made me love the song more,
it's actually an ultimate fan anthem! haha.

你的海报和CD 我都齐全   
每天在你部落格我都留言   
大小型演出我一定都出现   
只为了能再看到你 灿烂一面   
其他的对我来说不再起眼   
只有你在我心中才华无限   
喜欢打开电视机看你表演   
你的身影陪着我每分每一天   
当你站在那个舞台   
oh~期待你看过来   
渴望总有一天你会被我崇拜   
你的眼神电到而爱上我   
穿你爱穿的白衬衫   
oh~背你代言的包   
不管别人怎么人笑我对你崇拜   
好傻 但我还是乐在其中   
其他的对我来说不再起眼

崇拜你的 只为你而活   
崇拜你 我生命精彩的多

Dolly Parton - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind



Oh, sometimes I go walking through fields where we walked 
Long ago in the sweet used to be 
And the flowers still grow, but they don't smell as sweet 
As they did when you picked them for me

Joanna Wang - For No Reason

we can go out, 
watch a movie,
climb out my window 
in the middle of the night,
and when the world's asleep 
we shall dance like mad,
amusement only
  wouldn't you agree that sounds nice?

I Really Got To Use My Imagination



"I've Got To Use My Imagination"

Gladys Knight and The Pips
Written by: Gerry Goffin, Barry Goldberg 
Imagination (Nov 1973)







I don't really like ranting about my problems and frustrations on the internet. Sure, I'd get the urge to do it, and once in a while I give in to the urge, but most of the time, I double think, and I stop myself. I want to do it because it is a sort of outlet and I just feel a wee bit better after ranting. I don't want to do it (especially on facebook) because I don't want and instant audience for my every thought. And I'd rather not actually remember the little things

College academics is by far my biggest hurdle in life. I don't want to give up, it's just not an option. But sometimes I seriously doubt myself whether or not this was the right thing to do. Or if I'm just being proud and stubborn. I can't seem to motivate myself anymore. At least not to the extent of having excellent grades. No I'm not grade-conscious. It's just that I know that I can do better than this. Way better.


I really got to use 
My imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on, keepin' on.

On the up side of this post...

This is one song that I would absolutely love to be able to perform. But before that happens, I seriously need to work on my pipes to be able to pull off this song half as good as Gladys Knight. And I also want my own bad-ass backups like the Pips.

 

Actually, I think I'll still have an awesome time even if I were only to do back up for a song like this. Given that I'd be able to do those dance moves!

If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I’d play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love love love,
to dance with my father again.

The Nymphs - Enter Sandman




Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beast under your bed,
In your closet, in your head

在心裡從此永遠有個你




為什麼我們相遇網絡

為什麼要拿虛擬對待我
我和你 在一起 在一起 的甜蜜
這份愛 會埋在我心底
愛來愛去 都變成回憶
我和你相愛網絡裡
這輩子 註定與你在一起
你的心 我最懂 你哭泣 我陪你
