One of my all-time favourite 古巨基 songs :)

@
喜歡你的頭髮　喜歡你的臉頰　喜歡你微笑的時候眼裡藏不住的光
喜歡你的害羞　喜歡你的瘋狂　想要一天二十四個小時守在你身旁

*
喜歡開你玩笑　喜歡叫你傻瓜　喜歡嚇你一跳時候看你慌張的模樣
喜歡搭你肩膀　喜歡你會怕癢　喜歡趁你沒有防備偷襲你的手指甲

#
想要抱你一下　貼緊我的胸膛　想要告訴你這樣下去不是辦法
想要把你綁架　想要帶你回家　想要非常認真嚴肅的承諾地老天荒
想要非常認真嚴肅的承諾地老天荒

%
思念你令我驚慌　想到你令我膨脹　你的每個笑容都會令我幸福的快爆炸
見你的時候我總是說些傻呼呼的蠢話　令我隨時隨地瀕臨瘋狂

Personal Angel

專屬天使

我不會怪你　對我的偽裝
天使在人間是該藏好翅膀
人們愚蠢魯莽　而妳纖細善良　
怎能讓妳為了我被碰傷

小小的手掌　厚厚的溫暖　
妳總能平復我不安的夜晚
不敢想的夢想　透過妳的眼光　
我才看見它原來在前方

沒有誰能把妳搶離我身旁　
妳是我的專屬天使　
唯我能獨佔
沒有誰能取代妳在我心上　
擁有一個專屬天使　
我哪裡還需要別的願望

小小的手掌　大大的力量　
我一定也會像妳一樣飛翔
妳想去的地方　就是我的方向　
有我保護笑容儘管燦爛

沒有誰能把妳搶離我身旁　
妳是我的專屬天使
唯我能獨佔
沒有誰能取代妳在我心上
擁有一個專屬天使　
我哪裡還需要別的願望

要不是妳出現　我一定還在沉睡　
絕望的以為　生命只有黑夜

沒有誰能把妳搶離我身旁　
妳是我的專屬天使　
唯我能獨佔
沒有誰能取代妳在我心上
擁有一個專屬天使
我哪裡還需要別的願望

怕什麼?

我不再怕什麼 躲什麼
我只想知道你在想什麼
請貼近我的心 貼近我的耳朵
聽你輕輕的 輕輕的 輕輕的說
到底我是你的什麼

Disney Princesses?

Which Disney Princess Are You?
	You are part Jasmine. You are loyal and would visit the ends of the earth for what you believe. You would never let obstacles stand in the way of true love.
	You are part Cinderella. You are hard-working and never complain, however, your trust is sometimes misplaced and people sometimes take advantage of you. Still, you are beautiful inside and out, and one day you will realize it and find true love.

She

One of the reasons why I like the movie Notting Hill so much...

She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day

She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell

She
Who always seems so happy in a crowd
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud
No one's allowed to see them when they cry
She
May be the love that cannot hope to last
May come to me from shadows of the past
That I'll remember till the day I die

She
May be the reason I survive
The why and wherefore I'm alive
The one I'll care for through the rough in ready years
Me
I'll take her laughter and her tears
And make them all my souvenirs
For where she goes I've got to be
The meaning of my life is

She

Makeup Galore

Had to dig out some makeup today (don't ask) and during this process I discovered I own so much cosmetics! Most were probably gifts(?) but it's still pretty ridiculous. I only have 10 fingers so I hardly need 20+ shades of nail polish... how about one pair of lips versus 17 lipsticks? I don't even use this stuff 95% of the time! Made me feel so wasteful :(

I've decided that I'm not going anywhere near cosmetics in the shops from now on... and maybe I need to be a bit more *girly* in order to clear my stock up (but somehow can't see that happening :S)

Waking up 30 mins earlier to put stuff on my face or sleep for 30 mins more? That's not even a contest :P

日行一善

A simple gesture brightened up two people's stressful commute.

The world would be a much happier place if everyone paid a little more attention and be a little kinder to those around us, even if they are complete strangers.

知己知彼，百戰不貽﹔不知彼而知己，一勝一負﹔不知彼不知己，每戰必貽。

Love at First Sight

Van met Elektra
It was love at first sight
Van brought Elektra home
They lived happily ever after

The end

*Giggles* :P

Illegal

Listen to the song. Feel the lyrics.


Who would have thought that you could hurt me
The way you've done it
so deliberate, so determined

Since you have been gone
I bite my nails for days and hours
and question my own questions on and on

So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
when I'm still so close?

You don't even know the meaning of the words I'm sorry
You said you would love me until you die
and as far as I know you're still alive
Baby

You don't even know the meaning of the words I'm sorry
I'm starting to believe
it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

I tried so hard to be attentive
to all you wanted, always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
I'm wondering for days and hours
is it here, it isn't here, where you belong

Anyhow, anyhow
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along

You don't even know the meaning of the words I'm sorry
You said you would love me until you die
and as far as I know you're still alive
Baby

You don't even know the meaning of the words I'm sorry
I'm starting to believe
it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

You don't even know the meaning of the words I'm sorry
You said you would love me until you die
as far as I know you're still alive
Baby

You don't even know the meaning of the words I'm sorry
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

Open heart, open heart, it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart.
Open heart, open heart, it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart.

離家出走

Think I'll like singing this song at karaoke...



豁出去漫遊　不通知親友
那快感少有　哪管想去多久
抱得你未夠　於這裡悶透
才誓死跟你　逛盡地球

何必每件壯舉都需要理由　伴你去出走
快活而內疚　不管舉世追究
願扣上你雙手　自繁華浪處到沙丘
戀愛　能有幸這樣放肆至足夠

別再管誰咒你　曾經荒謬闖蕩異地
亦未枉相戀超出煩惱的禁忌　
視世上人不理　想早晚能見你
曾經反叛也是我運氣　天與地
年老了不再飛　無那份勇氣

怕一世未能　沙礫中擁吻
有了你先有　這最淒美質感
縱使有地震　不因我犯禁
誰話你壞人　不減吸引

明知我做錯過的總要奉還　但我愛一眼
有自由浩嘆　都深刻過不散
讓你我似走犯　在窮途入教堂進諫
上帝　求你讓我共愛侶過更多晚

代價高仍愛你　曾經荒謬闖蕩異地
亦未枉相戀超出煩惱的禁忌
視世上人不理　想早晚能見你
曾經反叛也是我運氣　天與地
逃過約束拋開生死

這樣也許了不起　但有一日轟烈乏味
就讓彼此都別戀他人也不忘記
別個再沒法比　瘋過後能放棄
回家安樂過亦有運氣　不顧忌
才了解喜與悲　能以後銘記

人有天總怕死　才注定別離

Stalkers and perverts...

Met one of each today... very creepy... :(

Recent London Snaps

Saw all these people on jump stilts performing at Piccadilly Circus recently... they were quite impressive (somersaults and all...!) Kitty and I stood there and watched for ages :)



Feeling patriotic? These guitars are so cool!




... "so I say... thank you for the music"... :)



My favourite store in London... the Paperchase flagship store on Tottenham Court Rd. This place is a stationary lover/ pattern designer's dream. Well, even if you're not a pattern designer (like me) you can still admire and appreciate... I can easily spend hours in there :P

Recent Favourite Songs

Was at karaoke yesterday... and had clearly gotten myself into a singing mood because I can't stop singing today :P

Sang Leehom's "Kiss Goodbye" (with Kitty and Chi) Pretty old song but I love it so much (love the piano performance in the MV too!)



Really wanted to sing Jay and Lara's "珊瑚海" (Coral Sea), but they didn't have the MTV! :(



Then Yik and I sang "刻不容緩", and half way through Yik realised he couldn't sing Hacken's key at all and I ended up singing both parts!!! It was so weird transitioning between male and female vocal range every other sentence...



Finally this wasn't something we sang at karaoke, but is a new song I really like... Avril Lavigne's "When You're Gone". Embedding not available so here's the link! The MV is so sad...

When You're Gone MV

New Toy

So, Van got a piece of new gadget last week... and by the end of the weekend she had come to the conclusion that the folks at work have done a pretty good job of locking it down, because she can't seem to hack it in any way :(

However, she did manage to upload the picture of her favourite Ferris Wheel as background, so she can be reminded of happy times at work :)



きれいな横浜のフェリスホイール... 大好きです。堀内君は写真を撮りました... ほんとにありがとう。 :)

Hong Kong Trip - Feb 2007

It's funny but I don't tend to take many photos in HK, probably because it's like home anyway... However, this time I did take some photos at Ngong Ping 360, because I've never taken the cable car from Tung Chung before!

In the past, whenever we went to the Big Buddha we always had to go on this long and winding bus journey around the mountains... Ngong Ping 360 is a much more scenic and convenient alternative in my opinion. (However do try to avoid days when there would be long queues!!!)

Rolling Star

I love this song! What's even better is that I can now sing it too! :P

もう我慢ばっかしてらんないよ
言いたいことはいわなくちゃ
帰り道夕暮れのバス停
落ち込んだ背中に Bye Bye Bye

君の Fighting Pose 見せなきゃ

夢にまで見たような世界は
争いもなく平和な日常
でも現実は日々トラブって
たまに悔やんでる
そんな Rolling Days

転んじゃったっていいじゃないの
そんな時は笑ってあげる
乗り込んだバスの奥から
小さく微笑が見えた

君を頼りにしてるよ

夢にまで見たようなスイートクラブ
恋人達は隠れ家を探すの
でも現実はあえない日々が
続きながらも信じてるの Lonely Days

Oh yeah, oh…
躓いたって Way to go
Yeah, yeah!
泥だらけRolling Star

なるべく笑顔でいたいけれど
守りにいくために仕方ないでしょう

きっと嘘なんてそう
意味を持たないの
All my loving…
そうじゃなきゃやってらんない

夢にまで見たような世界は
争いもなく平和な日常
でも現実は日々トラブって
たまに悔やんでる
そんなRolling Days

Oh yeah, oh…
そう分かってるって
Oh yeah, oh…
躓いたって Way to go
Yeah, yeah!
泥だらけRolling Star

年年有今日

又大一歲了...

大多數人喜歡在新年的時候回顧上一年的事情, 和定下來年的大計和決心. 我卻比較喜歡在生日的時候想. 畢竟, 新年這節日好像一點個人意義都沒有啊!

Van覺得, 去年過得很充實. 做了很多自己滿意的事情, 學了很多東西, 亦更了解自己.

記得05年的十一月, 我還是個新教師. 面對著一班吵鬧的小朋友, 總是覺得有點渾身不自在. 學生上課, 其實老師也在不停的學習... 和小孩子溝通的方式, 教學的技巧, 為人師表的態度等等... 一切都令我大開眼界. 其實, 在外國教中文真的是吃力而不討好的工作. 因為大多數的學生根本就沒有興趣坐在班房裡面聽你說東西. 可是就算只有一個人在聽, 我都會覺得時間花得有意義... 這大概就是教學的滿足感吧! 學年尾時, 學生們對我的不捨, 就好像證明了自己的心機沒有白費. 可是老實說, 一至五在GS工作, 周末教書和改功課本真的很辛苦耶! (在這裡和大家分享一件有趣事... 在派成績表的時候, 有家長對我說: "你知道嗎, 我的兒子跟我講他班的Miss很漂亮!" 哎唷... 小朋友, 你只有八歲耶!!! -_-; )

06年二月. Van第一次動手術. 雖然是小手術, 可是要全身麻醉, 還是有點害怕喔! 最後平安無事, 真好 :)

06年四月. Van在公司有點意外驚喜. 詳情當然不便透露, 可是實力和表現得到應同, 就算只是一件小事, 都是值得開心的.

06年八月 - 香港和日本之旅. 15歲時, 曾和Seereen定下約定, 說長大後一定會帶她遊香港的. 約定實現了! 其實, 認真的想想... 從剛入中學維持到現在的好朋友, 真的很難得! 所以, 這次旅程也頗特別和具有意義的.

在日本的時候, 我自己也有意外收穫吧...

久別重逄的情景, 其實以前也有想像過. 可是現實發生時, 場面情節卻都不一樣. 時間過了, 感覺當然也變得不同... 在性格上, 其實我沒有甚麼大的改變, 可是現在的我, 的確少了一分天真的稚氣, 多了一點懂事的成熟. 當年站在機場時落的淚, 是因為留戀. 當晚在新宿街頭丟下的, 只是為那段可惜的往事而感觸而已... 心結... 其實早就解開了.

06年九月. Van開始了日文的課程. 其實小時候已經很想學日文, 可是竟然在學校學了法文, 西班牙文和拉丁文等語言, 卻一直沒機會接觸日文! :S 現在, 終於實行了! がんばります!

其實好像還有很多感想哦... 可能改天再記下來吧 :) 現在實在是太晚了! :P
