Well, it's spring time. Oops, in Singapore, its summer all time round, not much differentiation in weather nor our plants, just a question, thunderstorm with lightning or showers over several areas or sunny across the whole island.
Not matter what; Dec/Jan/Feb is the time where our major ethnic group, Chinese get busy. Not that we are slack in other months just that these few months calls for a major exercise involving the old and young to clear their clutter from room, bake cookies, do new year shopping, decorate our house. After all, it’s Chinese New Year. I’m sure other ethnic celebration also calls for this exercise. Just that wet market, coffee shops dun close for 2 days…=)
As I recall from my younger days, there are a few “happening rituals” that I do:-
1. Queuing for BBQ Meat – I’m the avid “aeroplane” fan, still queuing all these years. The common question “Is that really that nice, what’s the difference?” Well, if you are still asking this question, I’m sorry to say that either your taste bud is not really working well, you are happy got anything to eat fellow, or you are simply not into BBQ meat that’s all.
2. Buying PJ – I used to get a new set of PJ for CNY. I still remembered that I get to wear the new set after my reunion dinner, washing dishes and bath. That stopped when I was in P1. P1 is a period where everything was no longer the same and I never understand why until I was much older and just realise that it make sense to me. Recalling this now still bring a sneer to me.
3. Going to Chinatown after dinner – much older = much crazier. I like to go there squeeze with mountains of people and step on their feet. Yes, crazy right. It could be me who is stepping on your toes. Lesson to learn – wear covered shoes lah.
4. Blackjack – covering the different shapes to determine when you wanna pass or take one more card is something I learnt to play after “masa-masa”. Think that environment cultivate me in liking mathematics and logic. Burst = even its 22 points (bloody idiot, just 1 point) also = Burst and pay money. If I’m the banker and more than 5 cards, smiles on everyone’s faces as its double and I’m sending all my regards to the parents, especially mothers and brothers.
5. Baking and Making of New Year goodies – well, baking is always an all year round event, just a question of what’s in the oven.
6. and many more….
This year, I’m making Pineapple Biscuits to relieve my childhood memories. I remember sneaking up to eat on the pineapple jam from the container. There are always shouts from Kitchen the next day, “why so little pineapple jam left, how to make the biscuits”. Well, it’s not only me who sneaked up, my 2 brothers as well; see that’s genetic makeup.
This year, I’m going to make luck fishes together with All Saints HG – volunteers for our residents – red packets are needed. That’s all for today, going to dig out all the red packets. See ya!

Mozart Effect
Mozart Sonata for Two Pianos in D major, K. 448 was the one used in the scientific study that tested the theory of the Mozart Effect. The study suggested that Classical music increases brain activity more positively than other kinds of music.
D major for happy compositions usually calling for a degree of virtuosity, as may be easily heard in his Sonata for two pianos. Mozart wrote it for a performance he would give with Josephine von Aurnhammer, who also appeared with him in his Concerto for two pianos and orchestra.
There are 3 parts:
Opening Allegro con spirito begins with a trilling fanfare, then immediately launches into a quick, bubbling theme, followed by a somewhat more chordal, low-key, second subject adorned with witty grace notes; a third section returns to the spirit and technique of the first part, but without quite quoting the earlier material until the very end.
The Andante begins with a seemingly simple yet highly adorned melody and flowing accompaniment that might serve nicely as an aria or duet in The Magic Flute or Cosí fan tutte. The theme of the middle section in this ABA movement is more spare, almost a lullaby.
Finally, the Molto allegro movement leaps off the page with a spirited tune that might be called galloping if it weren't so elegant. This is the recurring theme that binds together a rondo featuring an assortment of highly contrasting melodies, one of which – heard early on and returning at the end – includes a Turkish-style cadence that calls to mind Mozart's famous Rondo alla turca.
Enjoy!

很忙 ~ 容祖兒
Are you busy chasing and you shelved away your feelings. Is busy your common excuse? Don't forget to say "I love you" to those you loved, for there might be no chance to say your feeling.
This is another great work by 許環良, listen to the lyrics.
作曲/監製:許環良 填詞:Mr Mars 編曲:吳慶隆
你總愛說事情太多 時間不夠
而我也總是努力 找理由
讓自己 來不及想 以後
以為 終究會 等到幸福的時候
等到 花也開了 溫暖了 天空卻 變灰暗了
來不及回頭 回頭太囉嗦 而你我 很忙
忙着往前跑 卻忘了 把感動一路珍藏
已來不及回頭 回頭已是空 是你我 太忙
當逃亡 變習慣 我只想 痛哭一場 喔
所有快樂的難過的 麻木接收
而忙碌竟是我們 用現在 換未來
最習慣的 理由
也許 看着花 綻放的一刻最美
等到 花也開了 溫暖了 天空卻 變灰暗了
來不及回頭 回頭太囉嗦 而你我 很忙
忙着往前跑 卻忘了 把感動一路珍藏
已來不及回頭 回頭已是空 是你我 太忙
當逃亡 變習慣 我只想 痛哭一場 喔
已來不及回頭 回頭已是空 是你我 太忙
當逃亡 變習慣 我只想 痛哭一場 喔
你總是愛說 時間 不夠

思念是一種病
你在思念我吗? 一杯水和一支香煙混合着安靜和孤獨的氣味,是真情还是謊言?一個人走着無聊的路口,我還在做夢吗,以為你會喜歡我?我的希望落空, 而香煙不離手,抽到我心很痛,哭到我鼻涕流。 我不再為你 -心痛。
張震嶽 - 小宇
總有些驚奇的際遇 比方說當我遇見你
你那雙溫柔剔透的眼睛 出現在我夢裡
我的愛就像一片雲 在你的天空無處停
多渴望化成陣陣的小雨 滋潤你心中的土地
不管未來會怎麼樣 至少我們現在很開心
不管結局會怎麼樣 至少想念的人是你
我不會把它當作遊戲 因為我真心對你
總有些話是不能提 怕你會掉入選擇題
我把情感自私的那一面 隱藏在黑夜裡
我的愛就像一片舟 在你的心湖無處停
尋尋覓覓一個美麗的港灣 希望不再流浪漂蕩
我不管未來會怎麼樣 至少我們現在很開心
我不管結局會怎麼樣 至少想念的人是你
我不管未來會怎麼樣 但我每天都想見到你
我不管結局會怎麼樣 我想真的跟你在一起
如果你還是沒法相信 真的沒關係 我會安靜的離去

Passage John 3:15-21
Passage John 3:15-21:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
~King James Version

Remembrance
It’s been such a long time since I’ve posted a new entry. The coming few months is hair grabbing moments. Yupz, grabbing not scratching. Several events are coming up. My July’s calendar is fully booked. August almost booked. Suddenly the thought of cinema selling tickets: “going fast” came to my mind. Month of June marks the half year mark.
As I look back, there were ups and downs in my life. A bit more ups than downs. What a lucky girl I am. =D However, there are still some events which took place any still there are no strong recollections about them. There are things which went missing and I never got it back. Glad that hurt and sadness never find me as a good friend.
The urge to look for a particular guy friend is surfacing. Do I need to look for him? I do not even remember his name, family background but I know he treated me well like a younger sister. He bought me things (this item will be our recognizing item?), brought me to school, played music and he is lonely. I wonder if he still is.
If I didn’t stay in Singapore, what will be the ‘me’ now? I wonder.

蘇打綠 交響夢
如果你也像我一样,喜欢蘇打綠的日光,我相信你也会喜欢这首: 交響夢。 很美的旋律,动人的歌声。这就是蘇打綠。
听着雷声,使我想起了。。。
詞/曲:吳青峰
午后時分 睡得很沉 嘈雜鳥兒 也全都充耳不聞
行板如歌 歌裡在等 等你來和 和一篇雨季解渴
雷聲鋪陳 嘹亮歌聲 大地與河 萬物屏息這一刻
蟄睡了一世紀的下午被你驚醒
迷霧從身後串起扣成水滴
透明的傷口 漂亮的殘忍 藏到土壤裡
雨的鏗鏘臨盆比夢的合奏還靜
阡陌牧車 因你饒舌 雷聲如燈 敲開了一年興奮
急板成歌 歌落成河 河在狂奔 奔擊了乾涸混沌
蟄睡了一世紀的下午被你驚醒
迷霧從身後串起扣成水滴
透明的傷口 漂亮的殘忍 藏到土壤裡
雨的鏗鏘臨盆比夢的合奏還靜
埋伏了一整季的思念被你剝離
棉絮爬上了頭髮換算年齡
氣候的成長 季風的回憶 收進課本裡
我自己來縫補我自己
修剪自己迎接你淋濕我風乾的心
雨停時分 洗澈煙塵 新的花梗 正期待炫耀顏色
黃昏人們 敞開了家裡大門
寧靜很深 世界迎接你這一刻 生命來了
听着雷声,使我想起了。。。

蘇打綠 ~ 日光
Enjoy Sodagreen New Hit: 日光
Its beautiful to challenge boundless of innocent and guilt is due to the overcoming the fear...
look @ their PJ and musical instruments
醒在夢境上 夢在清晨上
晨在川流上 流在船島下
殘留的夜蹄在稀薄中消失盡
遊戲的念頭在泡影中蔓延起
美好是因為挑戰無私的天真
罪惡是因為克服背叛的恐懼
島在輕浮下 浮在狂熱下
狂在初雷下 雷在白晝上
泉水的音樂在玫瑰縫中打擊
牧神的笛聲在快樂島中甦醒
美麗是因為滯留昏迷的倦意
醜惡是因為無視夢境的逝去
水濂遮蔽 海妖歌吟
夜燕竄襲 金手撫息
無私的天真在煙雲中消失盡
夢境的逝去在蘆笛中蔓延起
美好是因為克服美好的恐懼
美好是因為無視美好的逝去
Its beautiful to challenge boundless of innocent and guilt is due to the overcoming the fear...
look @ their PJ and musical instruments
醒在夢境上 夢在清晨上
晨在川流上 流在船島下
殘留的夜蹄在稀薄中消失盡
遊戲的念頭在泡影中蔓延起
美好是因為挑戰無私的天真
罪惡是因為克服背叛的恐懼
島在輕浮下 浮在狂熱下
狂在初雷下 雷在白晝上
泉水的音樂在玫瑰縫中打擊

Lean On Me ~ Bill Withers
Lean On Me ~ Bill Withers
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you don't let show
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
So just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me (if you ever need a friend)
Call me......

Ain't No Sunshine
"Ain't No Sunshine" is a song by Bill Withers from his 1971 album Just As I Am.
I love the part "I know"... Enjoy
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long anytime she goes away.
Wonder this time where she's gone,
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Hey, I ought to leave the young thing alone,
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone, only darkness everyday.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone,
And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

I wish...
I wish I have a pair of wings,
if i can't have that,
I wish I'm as light as a feather,
so that wind can bring me to wherever
it may bring me to.
if i can't have that,
can you just let peace find me.
Let me be the candle to bring light to others
by burning myself to the end.

Disturbances
By writing this entry at such timing, it takes great length to show how disturbed i am.
I'm not really sure why, when, what, where or how the events that are happening is causing disturbances to me. A recent discovery is that my processor is getting a little slow down. I'm not sure is it due to handling of too many stuff, juggling between work and study or trying to remember things. I'm not sure. I'm even getting tired to stand up for my own rights, I'm not fighting back.
This is a dangerous sign...cos the next who really step on my tail is rather pathetic. (ps: if i've got the will to fight)
I hope that people who are forgetful with what they say or do, do not come back to me and say "Why didn't you say it earlier" I'm not sure why do i have to sound apologetic when you are the one who can't remember and still shift the blame and call me names.
The thing that i HATE most: Accusations. Be it on me or my friends. But I have a strong sense that this "hate thingy" is on holiday mood as I'm not retaliating to anything now. Or have i just reach to another level of enlightenment?
Next, having eye problems is not a choice I've made or decided to have. Fate & destiny happens to walk by and chose me without telling me. What can i do. I do not expect anyone's sympathy or empathy. I jus do not need people with brains to ask me "Why everytime you need to go see eye doctor" or "you'll recover" even spending time educating them about my matter. I also hope that i do not need to go see doctor but its a wish that will never or ever comes true.
Does anyone think that I'm in the right mind that I like going to doctor. I would like to spend my $ in a happier mood too. Of cos, i have the choice of not to going but with the effect of visually impairment. Which is worse?
The happiest moment is when the doctor uses the word "suspect" on my case. It makes me feel happy that its a probable case. There is a slight percentage that I'm not 100% malfunction.
I do not need friends who tells you that going clubbing or drinking is not an act of good gal. Just because you don't club or drink doesn't mean others can't. Do i need to be a good gal. What's the definition? What's the use of carrying a label of good gal?To earn credits? Or get further discounts in shopping?
I do not need comments from friends who tells you that if you are married you should wear your wedding band. If not, you are classified as a naughty gal. What the f/d****** is this thinking? Is marriage all but a band that you wear on your ring finger? If yes, then you'll need a check up there. Suggestion of the Year: get yourself one if you are still single. Or is this wat we called "sour grapes" (PS: you do not need a band to remind youself tt you are married)
Its not that you cant share your comments to me or other but rather use a tiny weeny brain power to think thru your comments, we always welcome negative or positive comments but it must be constructive. Constructive is the essence.
Stop saying you are not being sensitive when obviously YOU ARE being sensitive. Wake up from your B*****XXX. If you are thinking that I'm writing about you, ha! you maybe right. (Ps: read this paragraph again)
I like my this statement the most: 如果你没有脑,请用一用你的屁股。在没有的话,用你的肾。

Next, having eye problems is not a choice I've made or decided to have. Fate & destiny happens to walk by and chose me without telling me. What can i do. I do not expect anyone's sympathy or empathy. I jus do not need people with brains to ask me "Why everytime you need to go see eye doctor" or "you'll recover" even spending time educating them about my matter. I also hope that i do not need to go see doctor but its a wish that will never or ever comes true.
Does anyone think that I'm in the right mind that I like going to doctor. I would like to spend my $ in a happier mood too. Of cos, i have the choice of not to going but with the effect of visually impairment. Which is worse?
The happiest moment is when the doctor uses the word "suspect" on my case. It makes me feel happy that its a probable case. There is a slight percentage that I'm not 100% malfunction.
I do not need friends who tells you that going clubbing or drinking is not an act of good gal. Just because you don't club or drink doesn't mean others can't. Do i need to be a good gal. What's the definition? What's the use of carrying a label of good gal?To earn credits? Or get further discounts in shopping?
I do not need comments from friends who tells you that if you are married you should wear your wedding band. If not, you are classified as a naughty gal. What the f/d****** is this thinking? Is marriage all but a band that you wear on your ring finger? If yes, then you'll need a check up there. Suggestion of the Year: get yourself one if you are still single. Or is this wat we called "sour grapes" (PS: you do not need a band to remind youself tt you are married)
Its not that you cant share your comments to me or other but rather use a tiny weeny brain power to think thru your comments, we always welcome negative or positive comments but it must be constructive. Constructive is the essence.
Stop saying you are not being sensitive when obviously YOU ARE being sensitive. Wake up from your B*****XXX. If you are thinking that I'm writing about you, ha! you maybe right. (Ps: read this paragraph again)
I like my this statement the most: 如果你没有脑,请用一用你的屁股。在没有的话,用你的肾。

I Dreamed a Dream ~ Les Miserables
Attached is a hyperlink from YouTube. Susan Boyle - Britains Got Talent 2009 Episode 1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxPZh4AnWyk

Susan Boyle, 47 years of age aspiring to be a professional singer presenting " I Dreamed a Dream" ~ Les Miserables.
When was we not cynical or held back our judgement about another person. (Time: 0.45-0.47).
A little tiger isn't she ~ Simon Cowell.
In my opinion, she has proven that dreams do come true, if you believe in them. *wink*
Here goes the lyrics:
There was a time when men were kind,
And their voices were soft,
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind,
And the world was a song,
And the song was exciting.
There was a time when it all went wrong...
I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.
But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.
He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!
And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

A little kindness goes a long way
When i was a kid, I was introduced to Singa as part of a School Movement. It's a orange color lion wearing a tight tee with a big heart shape on it. Yes, I have even hug it before. As I grow up, i realise that almost anyone who is willing can be Singa. Of cos, not by wearing the tight tee without bottoms. But if you are willing to be paid to be in the costume.
Or in another way, if we can be a little courteous to the people around us. When we talked about people around us, this is in a broad aspects, this ranges from the cleaner who helps to sweep your void deck, clears your food tray (why cant we clear it on our own?), person who serves you your food, return the balance amount to you, bus captains, person who shares the bus seat with you, in short, these are people who just happens to cross your path that day.
Courtesy is indeed the simplest form of kindness, and both courtesy and kindness are underpinned by sincerity. Kindness comes from the heart and while courtesy acts as the form, the outward expression of kindness.
Btw, there was a moment in my life, I wonder where have the orange color lion and bumble bee with white helmet went. I realised that Singa went into a retreat and was back in action in Year 2001. As for Bumble Bee's location, he might have joined Optimus Prime for good (since he last thru 4 seasons of it)
Well, some of you may know, i went back schooling on a part time basis. My love for books is to protect them with plastic. My 3 new textbooks. Thus, I went to Popular Bookshop, AMK Jubilee.
17 Apr 09, 7.38pm: After receiving my balance from cashier. I was making my way out of the queue. A Chinese middle-aged looking guy, medium built, tan-looking, blue/red-checkered short sleeve shirt and denims with super-size shoulder bag came and block my way out.
1) He did not join the main queue for payment
2) The movie of "Handsome Suit" just flashes thru my mind
3) Read on..
Part of my human logic is to say "excuse me", he turned, looked straight in my face and looked away. My eyebrows is starting to form a "V" shape in my face. I can't squezze thru, there is literally no room since his BIG BAG blocked the way knowing that I'm not small size either (my sub-con mind is working). For benefit of doubt, I said "I'm sorry, if you could allow me to pass thru". Same thing, TLI, turned, looked and ignore. He is not hard of hearing, he acknowledged me by looking at me but yet he chose to ignore. WHY????
Singa spirit just left me at that moment. "what kind of man are you? do you not understand what i said? or are you hard at hearing?" is all you can hear at the cashier counter. His arse finally shifted. For a moment, I thought that super glue was spilled onto the floor that his shoes was stuck there.
I left the bookshop with my twitching mouth,cursing and swearing.. (ps: i bet that the spirit of Singa left pretty far)
Sometimes, we meet people with gold in their mouth on streets (cos if they say anything, gold will jus drop out) or in not-so-friendly Hokkien, we called it : "Cui Tat xxx" Think we need to do a research on these 2:
1) If one jus stood there, expecting you to move is more angry than
2) you had said excuse me yet the person ignore you.
Variable: Does beauty/looks affects your choice.
Think about it.
On an ending note, just to share a quote from Princess Diana: Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.

What is life after death?
I'm not talking about inheritance or estate duties. This is not even about the spooky stuff either. It’s about the people and friends that we left behind.
The world continues to rotate no matter how the great the person is or how many wonderful deeds that he/she has contribute to the society. The clock keeps ticking off by seconds, minutes, hours, days and years.
Birth, Aging, Sickness and Death – These are the stages that one pass through however death is a part of our life episode which we never get to remember.
There is nothing to be fearful of dying. It’s not that I had been through it. Our death is certain. We cannot believe that we have endless time in this world. We came into this world empty-handed and we are going to leave this world the same way. Thou we may have captured many beautiful memories or a special moment with someone. In life, the worst case scenario, we may have no memories but we cannot have regrets.
Death is a joyful occasion. I’m not crazy. Death ends a person’s suffering. 离苦得安乐。One will have eternal life if you believe in Him. There is no need to cry, no need to shed a tear.
So why do we feel sad when we hear our beloved one departure. It’s attachment.
To some, it is thinking of what we have not done or done not well enough with our beloved ones. The memories and everything will just snap and flashback begins playing right in front of you.
Why should we feel sad when we remember having tea with our beloved ones, looking from a different perspective, we should feel happy, well at least I had tea with him/her before.
To my friends, if you are attending my wake service, please do not shed a tear. Remember the moments and fun times that we had before. It's good enough for me. Also, do bring a bottle of champagne along. Even if I can’t have it, I would like you to have some.
In the next few days or years if you still think of me, continue to think about our fun times. But I do hope that you can stop thinking about me and move on with your life.

一生只有你 ~ 蔡小虎
这首闽南语歌是电视剧"世间路"的主题曲。 演唱者是蔡小虎。
我的泪因为你变成最光那粒星
我的心因为你才有温暖的冬天
你的情为着我甘愿吃苦不想甜
你一生我一生回头看过去路是这呢美
你一张我一张退色的相片
有美丽的记志
谁人甘先离开
一生只有你会冻原谅我的脾气
一生只有你会冻体贴我的伤悲
为什么为什么等到你没喘气
一句我爱你这甘愿讲出嘴
为什么为什么袜冻让我的命换你
地狱天堂我先去
~ 爱一个人要说和表达出来。这一生可以没有回忆但不能有后悔。~
我的泪因为你变成最光那粒星
我的心因为你才有温暖的冬天
你的情为着我甘愿吃苦不想甜
你一生我一生回头看过去路是这呢美
你一张我一张退色的相片
有美丽的记志
谁人甘先离开
一生只有你会冻原谅我的脾气
一生只有你会冻体贴我的伤悲
为什么为什么等到你没喘气
一句我爱你这甘愿讲出嘴
为什么为什么袜冻让我的命换你
地狱天堂我先去
~ 爱一个人要说和表达出来。这一生可以没有回忆但不能有后悔。~

The Rainbow Connection
This song is written by Paul Williams and Kenneth Ascher. You may have heard it from "The Muppet Show" in 1979 and 1981, orignally performed by Kermit the Frog. Of cos, we also have The Carpenters version. Attached here is the video from YouTube sung by Jason Mraz. Enjoy!
=======================================================
Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
But only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
And what's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
and what do they think we might see
Someday we'll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me
Have you been half asleep
And have you heard the voices
I've heard them calling my name
Is these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
the voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many many times to ignore it
I think it can be
Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me
Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

稻香 ~ 周杰倫
What is contentment? Do you count your blessings each day and is grateful for what you have? This song that I'm sharing with you is written by Jay Chou (Album: Capricorn Diary).
Key takeaway: 珍惜一切就算没有拥有 (Treasure everything thou you may not have all)
Here's goes the lyrics:-
对这个世界如果你有太多的抱怨
跌倒了就不敢继续往前走
为什么人要这么的脆弱堕落
请你打开电视看看
多少人为生命在努力勇敢的走下去
我们是不是该知足
珍惜一切就算没有拥有
还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧回到最初的美好
不要这么容易就想放弃就像我说的
追不到的梦想换个梦不就得了
为自己的人生鲜艳上色
先把爱涂上喜欢的颜色
笑一个吧功成名就不是目的
让自己快乐快乐这才叫做意义
童年的纸飞机
现在终于飞回我手里
所谓的那快乐
赤脚在田里追蜻蜓追到累了
偷摘水果被蜜蜂给叮到怕了
谁在偷笑呢
我靠着稻草人吹着风唱着歌睡着了
哦哦午后吉它在虫鸣中更清脆
哦哦阳光洒在路上就不怕心碎
珍惜一切就算没有拥有
还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧回到最初的美好
还记得你说家是唯一的城堡
随着稻香河流继续奔跑
微微笑小时候的梦我知道
不要哭让萤火虫带着你逃跑
乡间的歌谣永远的依靠
回家吧回到最初的美好
