Set you thinking.

This weekend has been eventful and fruitful. First, I went for a play called 'dua dai ji' which talks about big news that happened in Singapore that concerns the lives of the masses. And yes indeed, when the play touched upon the topic of foreign talents, i found this very familiar as I can feel the pressure and the seriousness from this matter, especially being a NUS student and is often surrounded and feeling threatened by their presence in school. However, I soon realised that this was unavoidable, even though some of us don't like it, as we felt that our territory has been invaded. Looking on the bright side, the locals should seize this opportunity to learn from the foreign talents and to become stronger and better to meet the standards to be able to fight with the talents, instead of letting things happen as it is. In no time, this place that we call home will no longer be home to the locals.

On the other hand, I do agree with CK that this place has been made too easy for people to adapt, to the extent that we are rather spoon-fed and will be easier contented with where we are and what we have. With this type of mentality, it will restrict us from thinking what is the 'should have been' but just stay at what has happened. As a result, anyone will have no problem settling in Singapore, and getting citizenship here. All and all, in the past we had merger, which was an affair between 2 nations. And now, although we are independent, merger is still around, just that it was secretly hiding, the merger of the people from different lands.

And for today, i caught 'The curious case of Benjamin Buttons' with CK. It was a long movie that wasn't boring. It contains many parts of Benjamin's lives and how he has grown from an old baby to a young boy again. Well, I think it is intriguing as I was trying to apprehend how the characters in the show felt at a certain point during the show. For example, how Benjamin felt when he knows that Thomas was his father. I was touched by the scene where he brought his dad to view the sunrise. Life is imperfect, and full of regrets from mistakes made. And even for Thomas, it was that he shouldn't have given his son away. And so i guessed that the reason why Benjamin was being kind to his father was to remove some of the burden that his dad was carrying, to make him feel better also. And in life, everyone has their own roles to play and never should one feel awkward or doubtful about themselves, and should be able to accept what they are given with. As the saying goes," you can't escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading today". I'm sure this show and taught me something valuable.



This is a song that reminds one of the good and bad times of his or her past. I think these memories are here to stay, we learn from mistakes and remember the precious moments, for they mould us into who and what we are today. To me, the past is important as a guide to remind oneself of finding his or her true self, direction and purpose in life. Everyone has his or her stories right? =)



A meaning song. The lyrics tell the story of an old man, thinking about his past, and how his life passed him by in a flash. Treasure what we have.

我坐在床前
望着窗外回忆满天
生命是华丽错觉
时间是贼偷走一切
七岁的那一年
抓住那只蝉
以为能抓住夏天
十七岁的那年
吻过他的脸
就以为和他能永远
有没有那麽一个世界
永远不天黑
星星太阳万物都
听我的指挥
月亮不忙着圆缺
春天不走远
树梢紧紧拥抱着树叶
有谁能听见

有没有那麽一朵玫瑰
永远不凋谢
永远骄傲和完美
永远不妥协
为何人生最後会像
一张纸屑
还不如一片花瓣
曾经鲜艳

有没有那麽一张书签
停止那一天
最单纯的笑脸和
最美那一年
书包里面装满了
蛋糕和汽水
双眼只有无猜和无邪
让我们无法无天

有没有那麽一首诗篇
找不到句点
青春永远定居在
我们的岁月
男孩和女孩都有
吉他和舞鞋
笑忘人间的苦痛
只有甜美

有没有那麽一个明天
重头活一遍
让我再次感受
曾挥霍的昨天
无论生存或生活
我都不浪费
不让故事这麽的後悔
有谁能听见
我不要告别
我坐在床前
看着指尖已经如烟
