I would like to introduce to you a song:

Life's Like a Boat by Rie Fu.

Go to Youtube.com or anywhere else to hear the music. It's not about the vocal or the piano of the song (though it is really nice), but it is the meaning behind the lyrics. It touched me when I found out the Japanese translation behind it. Loneliness, friendship, challenges, and also the coincidence of the song to my blog: A journey without a destination is worthless. Here's the lyrics and enjoy =D:

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who's gonna comfort me and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

To-o-ku de i-ki o shi-te-ru
To-o-mei ni nat-ta mi-tai
Ku-ra-ya-mi ni o-mo-e ta-ke-do
Me-ka-ku shi-sa-re-te ta-da-ke

[Taking deep breathes
As if I were transparent
I thought I was in the dark, but
I was only blindfolded]

CHORUS 1:
I-no-ri wo sa-sa-ge-te
A-ta-ra-shi-i hi o ma-tsu
A-za-ya-ka ni hi-ka-ru u-mi
So-no ha-te ma-de

[Offer a prayer
A new day is waiting
Till the end
Of a vividly shining sea]

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me and keep me strong

Hi-to no ko-ko-ro wa u-tsu-ri-yu-ku
Nu-ke da shi-ta-ku na-ru
Tsu-ki wa ma-da a-ta-ra-shi-i shu-u-ki
De mu-ne wo tsu-re-te-ku

[People's hearts change
And you'll stop wanting to slip away
The moon is in a new cycle
So bring the boat alone]

CHORUS 2:
And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars
And soon I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along
I will follow you and keep you strong

Ta-bi wa ma-da tsu-zu-i-te-ku
O-da-ya-ka-na hi mo
Tsu-ki wa ma-ta a-ta-ra-shi-i shu-u-ki
De u-me wo te-ra-shi-da-su

[The journey still goes on
Even on quiet days
The moon is in a new cycle
Illuminating the boat]

REPEAT CHORUS 1 AND CHORUS 2

U-n-mei no fu-ne wo ko-gi
Na-mi wa tsu-gi ka-ra tsu-ki e to
wa-ta-shi-ta-chi o so-u ke-do
So-re mo su-te-ki na ta-bi ne
Do-re mo su-te-ki na ta-bi ne

[Row the boat of destiny
And even though
Wave after wave attacks us
This is a wonderful journey
They're all wonderful journeys]

School is always fun.

Event 1

Our MUET teacher, Pn. Tay gave us an on-the-spot assignment whereby one will write down his or her dislike in any particular rules and regulation, then his or her partner will write down why the rules or regulations stated by him or her actually exist.

So I partnered up with Zhi Wang, and one of the rules was written by him: "Liquid paper are not allowed to bring to school".

My answer?

"Solid paper are a more appropriate writing pad" XD

Event 2

After the KITA's Physics tuition, my bunch of friends and I avoided the lift and used the staircase. At the ground floor, we saw a notice on a piece of paper stuck to the wall that states:

"請將垃圾丟去後面. 謝謝!"
(Please place your rubbish at the back. Thank you!)

Then Chiew Wai went against the wall and peered sideways into the back of the paper.

"怎樣丟後面???"
(How to throw at the back [of the paper]???)

Since then, the whole group suffered stomach ache. >.<

What is dancing?

An impressive way to be expressive, I say.

Dancing has been my hobby since young. I could remember myself jumping over pillows that was placed on the floor, and I called it dancing. Laugh, laugh all you want. There's more. Sweeping my legs and my hands (or maybe I should say "flinging") as though I'm trying to prove the existence of multi-plane dimension, I called that dancing, too. Flapping my hands in the shape of a chicken and walking around to the tune, "Dancing on the Ceiling" by Lionel Richie, I dare say it is dancing.

And now, I'm still at it.

I loved dancing a lot now. Sometimes I know I'm not good, but I insists on dancing as though spikes growing within the soles of my shoes. Watching videos in Youtube.com inspires me much too. Seeing others is all I can do to learn: popping, liquid dancing, gliding, robotic dance, locking, etc. Dancing lets me feel the adrenaline rush in my blood and express myself without thinking twice.

One question: So you think you can dance?

Based on my experience (I already performed quite a number of times, including main ones such as Negeri Sembilan Charity Show and school's midautumn festival; others are minor =p), I believe that it is not the capability of dancing that matters actually. My point is, everyone can dance. I don't expect everyone to be able to breakdance or what, but simple dance such as hip hop, modern dancing, freestyle, crazy-mode-and-unable-to-control-self dance, move-your-hands-in-small-circles-in-front-of-you dance and others is great enough.

I repeat, EVERYONE CAN DANCE!

Passion or passionless, it is in our blood already. Our ancestors during caveman period already knew how to perform a dance around a bonfire without even been guided. Ask any president in the world to dance and they would (Have you seen Nelson Mandela dance? It's during a historic event [not the dance but the eventful day]). Great Kungfu masters in the world knows how to apply their routine moves into dances. I would not be surprised if James Blunt suddenly put down his guitar during a concert and starts dancing.

So, why some of us can't dance???

Well, that particular "some of us" can't dance not because "some of us" can't but because we are afraid to lose face. Humility is the greatest obstacle to dancing. Great dancers in the world can dance because they have the THICKEST skin in the world. They wouldn't care if they made any mistakes. All they want is to feel the adrenaline rush while dancing. If we can overcome that shame, we can dance like it's 1970s.

We can dance. We just need to put away the shyness in us.

In the nutshell, if you are tempted to blast your player up to max and tap-dance to the tune, I daresay, why not?

Note the flying shoes and slippers towards your window.

New dance video~!!

Check out my latest dance video. The song is "Move Your Body" by Eiffel 65, one of my favourite song to dance with. Hope you all enjoy it! Drop by comments and advice if you must. Thanks!

Two oh oh eight. Er ling ling ba. Dua kosong kosong lapan.

Ladies and gentlemen. We would like to proudly present to you: the great, anticipated, magnificent, chaotic, unpredictable, no-nonsense, senseless(?), purposeful, exciting, challenging, hectic, hold-up-your-undies-if-you-will event of the year...

The new year.

WELCOME THE YEAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR 2008!!!!!

*Does it sounds like, "yeeerrrr... 2008 [oh, great...]"*

Wow, truthfully, the year 2008 ushered in with such speed, like somebody knocking your door and suddenly brought the whole house down just to get into your house. Alright, I'm not good in metaphors. Noted. So many things happened in the year 2007. Some are totally eventful, some sadly uneventful. I see lots of improvements and unprovements (is there such word?) in myself. Friends come and go like liquid and solute in the process of osmosis. Life sucks and rocks (who invented those words "sucks" and "rocks"? Sounds like a drug pusher trying to stuff heroin in a reluctant victim's mouth).

I must say, I do enjoy 2007 like crazy, literally. 80% from the 365 days were the days where I can get high and crazy without even smelling alcohol. Dopamine in my brains senselessly released without my pituitary glands' permission.

Since it is 2008 now, 2007 will be my memories that will always be tresured. Learn from mistakes, carry the unfinished business from the past, cherish happy moments, make more mistakes so that I can learn from it in 2009, and look towards 2008 as the neverending path of self development.

Resolutions? Too many to be accounted for. BUT of course there are main ones:

• Get a habit of helping others and geting help from others. (I tend to be selfish =X)
• Study hard with an objective to learn, not to score in examination only.
• Be more active in SGM, HAD, R2P2P4, school, etc.
• Be more creative in dancing and improvisation in piano. Get in touch with guitar again.
• Expose myself in anything to have more experience. Set a mindset of the environment as my teacher.
• Cherish every moments with my friends.
• Stop thinking about buying a new mp3 player or earphones or handphones.

Last but not least...

GET A DRIVING LICENCE, YOU DONKEY!!!

Well, that is all. Once again...

Piano Improvisation - First Touch

This is my first time filming myself doing improvisation on my piano. I named it "First Touch" since it is my first time. Hope you all like it and please drop by comments and advices. Thanks!

Wow. The holidays were really fun! Where do I begin with?

Well, here's my holidays activities, roughly.

Go back to school for chemistry practicals. Went crazy over experiments after experiments. Now in deep trouble, since I did not study during the holidays. It is as though my mind restarted to the first day of Form 6. Deep shit.

Went out with friends in outings, outings, outings. Yes, it is a heck of a holiday planning. Form 6 life aren't in my mind at all. Hang out with Lower Six Kensett, R2P2P4, old DJ friends and many many more. Whether it is hanging out in malls or "yum-cha" in mamak stall, it is never boring.

Worked for Edifier in PC fair. Bad day because I did not manage to sell much of the speakers. Not good because my enthusiasm was not as good as before. But at least I earn extra income and made more friends. Lol. Money minded again.

Had an Impression Meet in Regional Kaikan. Really made big effort in making it successful. Wished I could thank everyone that helped me, but now my mind is still full of things. Sorry to those offended. In the end, it IS successful. Thank you R2P2P4!!!

Exams in SGM and in HAD. The SGM's Level 2 exams is really difficult. Don't think I can pass it at all. The HAD dancing assessment went well except one thing: expression. They just criticise my expressionless look. Must repair that later on.

Overall, heck of a holiday. Hope to elaborate each event, but due to my stubborn mind that forcing my willpower to be put to sleep, I have to shut a few winks of despair.

What in the world am I talking about?

Happy ending to 2007. (not? >.<)
