五月天
我不愿 让你一个人
作词：阿信
作曲：阿信+冠佑
编曲：五月天+周恒毅
你说呢 明知你不在 还是会问
空气 却不能代替你 出声
习惯 像永不愈合 的固执伤痕
一思念就撕裂灵魂
把相片 让你能保存 多洗一本
毛衣 也为你准备多 一层
但是 你孤单时刻 安慰的体温
怎么为你多留一份
我不愿让你一个人 一个人在人海浮沉
我不愿你独自走过 风雨的 时分
我不愿让你一个人 承受这世界的残忍
我不愿眼泪陪你到 永恒
你走后 爱情的遗迹 像是空城
遗落你杯子手套和 笑声
最后 你只带走你 脆弱和单纯
和我最放不下的人
也许未来 你会找到 懂你疼你 更好的人
下段旅程 你一定要 更幸福丰盛
我不愿让你一个人 一个人在人海浮沉
我不愿你独自走过 风雨的 时分
我不愿让你一个人 承受这世界的残忍
我不愿眼泪陪你到 永恒
你说呢 明知你不在 还是会问
只因 习惯你满足的 眼神
只是 我最后一个 奢求的可能
只求你有快乐人生
只求命运 带你去一段 全新的旅程
往幸福的天涯飞奔
别回头就往前飞奔
请忘了我还 一个人
每個人看見愛的時間，都不會一樣；每個人決定投入一段感情的時間點，也不盡相同。妳好像比較早喜歡他──奇妙的是這世界妳越是喜歡的人，妳喜歡他的時間點，往往都會發生得比他喜歡妳的時間早。但是那沒有關係，妳不會計較這個，妳只要他後來也剛剛好喜歡妳就好。
妳用心觀察他的一切，妳很早就知道，他喜歡吃什麼東西？喜歡穿什麼衣服？而且妳一旦知道了，就很難會忘記。妳認為女生本來就比男生細心，所以在交往後，妳也只會跟他計較大的事情：可能是幾個對你們來說很重要的日子、可能是大多數的情侶們都應該會有的表示。妳不想做那個總是要用技巧提醒他的人，因為妳從來沒有想過愛需要那麼多技巧，妳心目中的「愛」就是當妳很喜歡一個人，就會很直接地想要對對方好。
妳從沒想到的，是他後來會習慣妳對他的好，習慣妳對他的退讓。妳一直以為當妳對一個人好，如果他接受了，那應該就是一個開始。於是，妳在那個開始裡等著，妳不知道自己在等什麼？也許妳在等的是一種溫暖的感覺，妳沒有要他全數回報，妳只希望他偶爾也能夠讓妳知道，其實妳所做的一切，他都明白。後來，反而是妳懂了，妳之所以一直沒有等到那個感謝的擁抱，並不是因為他不知道，而是他一但承認自己知道了，那他就要還──不是所有跟妳談愛的人，都想要償還妳曾經對他的感情；不是所有跟妳談愛的人，都願意像妳那麼勇敢地想為將來而努力。
所以，我們才可以看見那些人，竟然可以在我們的傷心裡，最後還那麼無所謂的走開，彷彿那一切都不曾發生……妳這也才他離去的背影裡看懂了，一個從來就不曾付出的人，本來就不曾失去，當然更不會懂妳的遺憾和可惜。
終於，妳開始整理自己的感情，那是妳從愛上他開始，就逐漸混亂的感情。妳發現感情本來就應該很簡單，跟性別無關、跟細心無關，感情只跟「心」有關，那是當你真的很愛一個人，就會把他放在心底；也只有當你把一個人真的放在心底，你才能真正「用心」去愛他。
I’d cry every time I listen to this song.
I’m never a Jay Chou fan, but undeniably his lyrics have always hit straight home…
我知道我们都没有错， 只是放手会比较好过。最美的爱情， 回忆里待续。

退后
作词：宋健彰
作曲：周杰伦
天空灰得像哭过
离开你以后 并没有 更自由
酸酸的空气 嗅出我们的距离
一幕锥心的结局 像呼吸般无法停息
抽屉泛黄的日记 榨干了回忆
那笑容 是夏季 妳我的过去被顺时针的忘记
缺氧过后的爱情 粗心的眼泪是多余
我知道妳我都没有错 只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给了承诺 却被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错 只是放手会比较好过
最美的爱情 回忆里待续
天空灰得像哭过
离开你以后 并没有 更自由
酸酸的空气 嗅出我们的距离
一幕锥心的结局 像呼吸般无法停息
抽屉泛黄的日记 榨干了回忆
那笑容 是夏季 妳我的过去被顺时针的忘记
缺氧过后的爱情 粗心的眼泪是多余
我知道妳我都没有错 只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给了承诺 却被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错 只是放手会比较好过
最美的爱情 回忆里待续
我知道妳我都没有错 只是忘了怎么退后
信誓旦旦给了承诺 却被时间扑了空
我知道我们都没有错 只是放手会比较好过
最美的爱情 回忆里待续
最怕空气突然安静 最怕朋友突然的关心
最怕回忆 突然翻滚绞痛著不平息 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 终于让自己属于我自己 只剩眼泪 还骗不过自己突然好想你 你会在哪里 过得快乐或委屈
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
为什么你 带我走过最难忘的旅行 然后留下 最痛的纪念品我们 那么甜那么美那么相信 那么疯那么热烈的曾经
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 过得快乐或委屈
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 突然翻滚绞痛著不平息 最怕突然 听到你的消息最怕此生 已经决心自己过没有你 却又突然 听到你的消息
一向来都不是五月天迷，但无可否认的，阿信写的歌的确能触碰到人心。
就好比这首《忽然好想你》。看着歌词，听着歌，忽然心好酸，忽然好想哭。
Sometimes I really hate being too empathetic.
你呢？你会突然想到谁呢？
Wow I almost forgot what happened over the weekend. I really need to stop procrastinating when it comes to blogging. LOL.
Right. Here we go.

I’ve applied for leave on this since beginning of the year, and I really have no idea why. But well, since the leave was approved eons ago, I just took it. Wandered around Orchard Road for the entire afternoon (spent about 2 hours in Kinokuniya though), before walking to The Central to meet up with Momo, before we walked over to 100AM where we met up with Kevin and Sharshar. It was a pretty good dinner meet up with them, we joked and laughed about stuff… and Sharshar said something about Kevin that made Momo and I laughed so hard till tears came out. I just love it when Sharshar and Kevin are both around. They are so funny. And I don’t need to really say anything when I’m with them… they are entertaining themselves and me at the same time. Haha!
A pity about the dinner spot though. Kevin wanted to try Skinny Pizza as he has yet to try it, and I’d say it’s just so-so. Not something I would voluntarily go back for, honestly.

Met up with Swordie again today, as he needed to borrow my Kinokuniya card to buy his entire Gamaran manga set. We first had lunch at Centerpoint Astons, and well I was surprised that he didn’t eat as much as I thought he would. I only knew after wards that he usually doesn’t eat that much for buffet, because he felt it’s the same dishes anyway. There’s only that many things that he eats, and there’s only so many times that he can eat the same thing at the same seating. And I realised that he’s actually quite a considerate person. I was whining about them running out of sauteed mushrooms, and when he saw the staff refilling it, he just went over and took a whole big bowl of sauteed mushrooms and plonk it down in front of me. LOL. I was pleasantly surprised that he would go get it for me instead of just telling me that it’s being refilled, but at the same time, I was like “whaaaat, you expect me to finish this one whole bowl of mushrooms?!” But I still managed to finish it after a while, haha.
After we are done with food and Kinokuniya, he went home in a cab, while I went back to Kinokuniya and spent some time there before heading home. I can’t resist a bookstore, really. =P
So yup, there goes my weekend!
I guess the Year of Goat isn’t really that great for me, if the few days before it arrives are of any indication. Yeah, I don’t particularly view heading into A&E as a good thing, you know.
But anyway, on CNY eve, I had the headache of trying to find lunch that I can eat. I know, for sure, if I went back to Bedok to try and buy lunch, I will only end up with fast food because all the hawker stalls are closed. So after work, I lingered around town, and decided to head to MBS to get some food.
After doing a short shopping spree at Bath & Body Works Singapore, I started my hunt for lunch – something not too heavy or oily, but yet can satisfy my hunger till dinner time. Din Tai Fung was full with an exceptionally long queue, and even Toastbox has a snaking queue. I stumbled across TWG cafe, one which I had always thought of trying but their menu prices always put me off. Deciding to do one last splurge in the Year of Horse, I bit the bullet and went for it.
They have a CNY menu – which consisted only of one main dish, a choice of hot/iced tea, and a choice of either dessert or patisserie. You can choose to go for just the main dish, or main dish + tea, or the entire full set. I picked main dish + tea, because I noticed that ala carte main courses start at $26, and a pot of tea on its own costs at least $11. But the CNY menu cost only $29++ if you are taking the main dish with tea.
The hot tea offered was Long Jing Jade Tea, and it came in a huge golden pot. Like, really huge. I believe I had poured myself countless cups of tea and that pot just seems bottomless. I’ve only drank normal teas before – like 铁观音, 普洱, 香片, etc, and this one certainly tasted very differently. There are layers of different notes which I could detect immediately the moment I sipped the tea. No wonder the cheapest tea costs $11! It’d be a good place to relax and read a book with a pot of bottomless (to me!) tea on a weekday when the cafe isn’t buzzing with atas tai-tais or hipsters that are born with a silver spoon.
The main dish that came was a red snapper fillet, complete with boiled vegetables like asparagus, broccoli and carrots. There’s also a few very thinly cut lotus root slices that were deep fried, and they taste really awesome, like arrowhead chips! The vegetables are boiled to perfection – just soft enough for me. The fish fillet itself is thick, but cooked perfectly, with no fish scales on the skin nor any bones within the flesh. Very meticulously presented as well. To me, this dish is almost perfect – light, healthy yet filling enough to last me till dinner. They also gave me a very warm plain yet delicious bun after I started tucking into my lunch, which also helped to kept me full for a couple of hours.
Yes it’s a splurge, but I love the atmosphere, the service attitude (I must compliment their staff… they are ALL very customer oriented and their attitude is top notch), their tea and their food. I’d love to revisit them again if my budget allows.
Our reunion dinner was just a simple fare. Like, really simple fare. Just some steamed fish, veggies with scallops (for me only), and leek with roast pork. Simple, yet heart warming enough to be having dinner together with my parents. And the best part? My mommy didn’t scream or nag AT ALL this year when she was preparing the dishes! Amazing!
Spent most of the day just playing D3, while waiting for Kelvin and the kids to come over.
Woke up early this day, as I have a brunch to attend with my relatives. We met up with each other at Imperial Treasure restaurant at Tampines One, as that seems to be the yearly restaurant for our Chinese New Year gathering, lol. Their food isn’t too bad. My cousins and relatives seem to like it a whole lot though. We had steamed soon hock, Peking duck, tofu, mixed veggies with tang hoon in a claypot, spinach with 3 eggs broth, and yee mee. Very filling, but honestly speaking I’m just not comfortable with them enough to really enjoy the food. Haha. Well it’s just a yearly thing, so…. that’s that. They are my relatives no matter what, so it’s only respectful for me to show up.
My solo K session finally, after a damn long time! I made a last minute booking at Teo Heng Rendezvous for a karaoke session on Sunday, and surprisingly they still have available slots. Went there and sang my hearts out for three whole hours. Halfway through my singing though, there’s this lion dance going on IN Teo Heng and it’s darn irritating to have the lion prancing around outside my room and peeking at me through the window. No I’m not opening the door for you, go away! >( At some point, their assistance opened the door (!!!) and their 财神爷 came in to shake my hand and gave me a chocolate coin. Sigh, oh well.
If only it was a real 1 Euro coin, I’d have used it for the drinks, lol.
I ate the coin in the end, something which I never did. Haha! I half expected it to be uber sweet, but holy cow, it’s totally not sweet AT ALL. Hmm. Odd.
