From classic gals to country girls

Just as I am getting into classic chinese songs by a classic lady, I got hit by the country bug...

...love this

...and love this

...what can i say, i love songs that tell stories

...cause i'm a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll; Donny & Marie Osmond

Beautiful...

Beautiful album...and a voice so smooth and melodious...it can either lull you to sleep (in a good way) or guaranteed to make you tear (if you're in a melancholic mood)

...and it sounds so much better on the iPod touch :)

A new toy

Cause the world keeps spinnin'
Round and round
And my heart's keeping time
To the speed of sound
I was lost til i heard the drums
Then i found my way
You can't stop the beat!!
....You can't stop the beat, Hairspray

You can't stop the beat indeed, esp on the new iPod Touch...a sleek new toy and I'm grinning from ear to ear :)

化

何必擔心下半生
何苦不信任緣份
談多幾次心
然就似情人 唯有甘心

無需等的別要等
庸碌一世沒遺憾
人家不費心
亦能恩愛互吻
誰說別人未襯
...化, 楊千嬅

Bonjour

Little town, it's a quiet village
Every day like the one before
Little town full of little people
Waking up to say:
Bonjour!
...Belle, Beauty & The Beast


A view from the office....I can see this every morning yet I sleep in....good trade you think?

Reflections

I love this song, be it the Lea or the Christina version. If you know me and who/what I am, maybe you'll know why.

But then again, we all have skeletons in our closets (although some closets are bigger than others), don't we?
What does your reflection show you?
Can you recognise who that is staring straight back at you?

Look at me
You may think you see who I really am
But you'll never know me
Every day, is as if I play apart
Now I see if I wear a mask
I can fool the world but I can not fool my heart

Who is that girl I see
Staring straight, back at me
Why is my reflection someone I don't know
Somehow I cannot hide, who I am though I've tried.
When will my reflection show who I am inside.
Must I pretend that I'm Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?

...Reflections from Mulan (Lea Salonga/Christina Aguilera) <-- if only they will do a duet of this song :)

Way back when...Ribena was

This came to mind while drinking Ribena a while ago...

I can vaguely remember a time when the smallest of treats can trigger great excitement...even something as simple as a new mechanical pencil or a soft serve ice cream cone from the corner 7-11. Perhaps it's due to the fact that even such small treats were hard to come by back then and the thought of getting one was just pure delight.

Well, that was way back when...nowadays, I don't even bat an eyelid from misplacing a white gold ring studded with loose diamonds (I know it's not like a "double-digit carat" rock, but they are diamonds anyhow, small as they be).

Way back then...Ribena was a treat for which I will savour every last drop, now I gulp them down like plain water.

So much has changed since then, should I be worried at what I am turning into? Should I be scared

Is this the little girl I carried?
Is this the little boy at play?
I don't remember growing older,
When did they?

Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears

.....Sunrise, sunset; Fiddler on the Roof

Que Sera Sera

It's been a while having a friend to talk to without much inhibitions/taboo topics.
Thank you xxx <-- you now who you are :)

I'm really, really, REALLY gonna be 36 in 2.5 hours...que sera sera, whatever will be, will be


零时十分倚窗看门外暗灯...happy birthday to me....零时十分, sally yeh

Jelly isn't jelly till you set it

Stretch your mind beyond fantastic
Dreams are made of strong elastic
Jelly isn't jelly till you set it
Anything can happen if you let it

If you reach for the stars
All you get are the stars
If you reach for the heavens
You get the stars thrown in
...from Mary Poppins

...and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious too...

Three dozen

As the boar comes and the dog goes away
May peace and prosperity come our way
As the pussy willows bloom in spring
May much happiness the new year brings

It's my year this year . . . I'm a pig (in more ways than one) and I'm three dozen years old to be precise


Gong Xi Gong Xi Gong Xi Ni....I've no idea who sang that ditty but it keeps getting blared from the radio this time of the year

人活到幾歲算短?

人活到幾歲算短
失戀只有更短
歸家需要幾里路誰能預算
.....富士山下, Eason

This new year,
Let me not envy what I don't have,
Let me cherish what I have,
And be comfortable with who I am and what I stand for.
