Goodnight.


天堂
歌手：光良 | 作曲：光良
填詞：葛大為 | 編曲：吳慶隆

牽著你在天空飛翔
這樣看世界不一樣
有了你在身旁笑的臉龐
世界或許　就這麼寬廣

忽然就忘記了慌張
人海之中你最明亮
無意間的影響　漸漸擴張
你豐富我　生活感想＊

何必尋找所謂的天堂
原來我因為你　不想再去流浪
情願平凡　不擁有一切也無妨
有了你在心上　已然(經)是天堂＃

This is for you.

Perhaps it's just a friendly mass message.
I have no idea how to react at that instant.
Should I give my blessings or
Urged you not to leave.

I have been happier these days.
I found my way to take pride in my little happiness.
Yet one random text from you , threaten to break my tranquility.

But how can i ever, ever.
With whom i want to share my life with.
With whom..

This is for you.

i carry your heart with me
by e.e. cummings

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

People diagnosed it as the ' Boulevard of Broken dreams Syndrome. Symptom starts with a person losing their capacity to cling on to their diminishing beacon of hope. When a person starts weaving their shattered dream into one drudgery grey blanket, warping their soul within it. Eventually, they cease to see the cacophony of colors that painted the sky blue. In a nutshell, when a person forgets that everyone is blessed with hope.

Its one of those days that I lose sight of my hope. An utterly lousy day.

What can i say! It has been another great weekend. I hope all weekends will be as fabulous for the rest of my life. :-)

One Art
by Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something everyday. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these things will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

-Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

I went to watch a super late movie after work last night : Memoirs of a Geisha. Hmm..what can i say. The star that stole the limelight has definitely to be Gong Li. Think her acting was surreal, and the closest to the role as protray in the novel. I am no huge fan of Ziyi Zhang, in fact after watching Hero, i loathe her. But i think her English intonation is not as contrived , as I have imagined.

Hmm..think i have watched all the movies that i wanna catch , for now. Time to go to dvds..heh. Still have heaps of unopened dvds , that i have bought.

oh yes, started on a new book for the new year; All she was worth , Miyuki Miyabe

I am watching 葉德嫻 2005 concert dvd now. She is doing an unplugged version of 小城大事. Its awesome , the singing and the lyrics . I stopped in my work and took a serious look at the lyrics. Its awesome, really.

Another thumbs up for 林夕. He jolly did it once again. Have a look!

歌曲：小城大事

监制：雷颂德
作词：林夕

青春仿佛因我爱你开始但却令我看破爱这个字
自你患上失忆便是我扭转命数的事
只因当失忆症发作加深
没记住我但却另有更新蜜运
像狐狸精般并未允许我步近
无回忆的余生忘掉往日情人
却又记住移情别爱的命运
无回忆的男人就当偷厄与瞒骗抱抱我

不过份
吻下来豁出去这吻别似覆水
再来也许要天上团聚
再回头你不许如曾经不登对
你何以双眼好像流泪
彼此追忆不怕爱要终止
但我大概上世做过太多坏事
能从头开始跪在教堂说愿意
娱乐行的人影还在继续繁荣
我在算着甜言蜜语的寿命
人造的蠢卫星没探测出我们已已再见不再认

吻下来豁出去这吻别似覆水
再来也许要天上团聚
我下来你出去讲再会也心虚
我还记得到天上团聚
吻下来豁出去从前多么登对
何以双眼好像流泪每年这天记得再流泪

La vie en rose

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is la vie en rose
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see la vie en rose
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak
Angels sing from above
Every day words
Seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
La vie en rose

Quand il me prend dans ses bras
Il me parle tout bas
Je vois la vie en rose
Il me dit des mots d'amour
Des mots de tous les jours
Et ça m'fait quelque chose
Il est entré dans mon coeur
Une part de bonheur
Dont je connais la cause
C'est toi pour moi, moi pour toi, dans la vie
Tu me l'as dit, l'as juré, pour la vie

It had been a busy week, To be exact, I had been busy with work, all the lunches and dinner ever since i came back. Today was the earliest that i got home. Cancelled a dinner..heh. Drinking a ice cold Yebisu beer, with my fave Joey Yeung 2005 concert playing on the telly, whilst blogging. Its neat ! And of course, Rosie fast asleep beside me :-)

I am experiencing a dry spell lately : Nothing much to blog or even sulk about. :-)

Does forever really means everlast? Does a promise or a vow really binds two hearts as one? Recently, i have seen too many of my great buddies going thru the darkest pit in their life. It pains and affects me. It does. Hence when i called my dear friend, with him breaking news of him leaving HK, i was affected. He sounded chirpy, when he jokingly said that there is nothing much in HK for him now, and said i could visit him in London.
******
Since they parted, i have been worried about him esp. We have been hanging up quite often this trip when I went up to HK. I am grateful he took trust , to confide in me.

Promise dun really last forever, do they?

Lun is going to London to understudy as a chef. He will be going for a couple of years. I am gonna miss him.

Lantau Island

Finally the Phuket trip during CNY confirmed. It will be 4 days of bumping around, snubbing my nose in a book, basking in the sun and just chill etc. I am looking forward to my first sea resort trip, in many years :-) Till then, i have to be more careful with my spending in S'pore and work hard!

*****

Just got back from watching Elizabeth town. It was good. I , especially like the part in which Orlando's mum did the dance , in the funeral service, with Moon River playing in the background. Its sweet. Yes..and all the music in the movie. Brings back all the nostalgic memories of my younger days ..heh!

Gonna zzz. Nites folk.

Janet emailed me today , complaining that the pic that i posted of her is not good enough. Haha. Anyway, here is another : my personal fave of both of us. Taken using her new N70. [Janet, hope this is good enough!]



I did not have time to do another mast for my HK trip, so this is a picture , taken during my trip with Dorothy , Janet and Christy to Lantau island. One of my fave of the Buddha.

Wanted

If anyone is or knows a English teacher that has experience in teaching IELTS, do email me at kafkaken@gmail.com .
Kindly help me to spread this , if anyone who happens to stumbles on my blog. Thanks

I was moved by the plot of the movie- Family stone. And for the first time in donkey movie years, queers and their choice of child adoption has been put in good light.

A fren that i watched with, said that its of no relevance - 10 years of being with someone , having this determination to give her the family stone [ stone also happens to be the family name of the cast in the movie] was all wiped out when Meredith's sister stepped out of the bus.

Anyway, to each its own - In short , I love the show.

Realised i have been catching movies for the whole weekend.

Friday- Blood and Bones
Sat - Narnia
Sun - Family stone

Yet there are still so much i wanna catch..

1. Merry Christmas
2. Elizabethtown [ i think i mis-spelt]
3. Broken Flowers
4.In her shoes
5. Le Grand Voyage
6. Proof

Think i will catch a late night show everynight next week.

Just came back from watching movie - Blood and bone . I do not know if the movie is good or bad. I , personally, think that the entire show and cast are simply fantastic. However, the entire plot is really disturbing - The strongest will survive, not the good folks. Anyway, think its too heavy for my liking. Gosh, there are so many movies that i wanna catch..Narnia, Family Stone , Merry Christmas etc.. Think i am gonna catch shows every night this weekend.

I miss Alan [ My big sister in HK] , Dorothy and Janet terribly. I just called him just now and we chatted for half an hour.

Tomorrow will be another eventful day, work in the a.m, combat and lunch wif babe, followed by meeting Pat later in the evening. And perhaps a movie at night .

Better sleep and stop thinking nonsense again. :-) Nites folks

My second mast that i did up is of Food. I start off with deserts. Cause that's my favorite course of any meal :-)

The biggest pic of the mast is [ of course] my fave - Mango glutinous ball. I can eat six at one go !

Got back home from work at 11 plus. Did some chores and clear my luggages. Just got everything done, Rosie is sleeping soundly whilst i am doing up my pics. :-) She makes me the happiest owner to see her sleeping in deep slumber.

First Instalment of my Hongkong trip:



My entire Hongkong trip has been a blast. Despite sleeping every night [or dawn] at 4am, i felt totally refreshed in waking up at 9am. Someone that i got to know this trip - Martin from Korea, asked if spending my long stretch festive holiday , in Hongkong ,is worth more than going to Europe or Japan, with that same amount of money . I think its every bit worth the time and money. Without my great friends around me, going to Tokyo or Venice will just be another historical enrichment. A memory without any value.

Henceforth, the first mast of my Hongkong trip is dedicated to my great pals in Hongkong. In the midst of the two weeks, i got to know them better.We confide more. And for the first time in many years, i guess they start to see that the playful Kenneth they always know has a flip side as well.

P.S To all my HK frens reading this blog : 谢谢你们给了我一个有价值的回忆！

童話 - 光良

曲︰光良
詞︰光良
編︰TAICHI NAKAMURA(BLUESOFA)

忘了有多久　再沒聽到你
對我說你最愛的故事
我想了很久　我開始慌了
是不是我又做錯了甚麼

＊你哭著對我說　童話裡都是騙人的
我不可能是你的王子
也許你不會懂　從你說愛我以後
我的天空星星都亮了

＃我願〔要〕〔會〕變成童話裡
你愛的那個天使
張開雙手　變成翅膀守護你
你要相信　相信我們會像童話故事裡
幸福和快樂是結局

重唱　＊,＃,＃,＃

一起寫我們的結局
