Das ist sehr seuss!

拼命的奢望 闷坏的胸口让我想大声的呐喊
我努力不放 你冷淡 你让分手 就这样
我连做梦也感觉受伤

一年过了 还是一天 计算著慌张
计程车上的音响 我们最爱的情歌
这一刻却重重击破思念的 心脏

夜深了我怎么办 寂寞了谁在身旁
心情变得好复杂 想她 念她 恨她
一个人你害怕吗 细数过漫天星光
说好永远不分开 多假 多假 多假
让记忆长出翅膀 飞翔
心放空了 寂寞 好了

坚强外表下 我脆弱 情人节开始失常
别人庆祝 我却很失落
秋天过了 冬天漫长
关于爱 感伤
我们天真的勇敢 我们追求的梦想
舍不得也只能收藏旅行的时光

寂寞感冒全都可以好的
爱多甜 伤多痛 都释放 oh~

没有你 心放空了 寂寞 好了

寄 沒有地址的信
這樣的情緒 有種距離

你 放著誰的歌曲
是怎樣的心情 能不能說給我聽

雨 下得好安靜
是不是你 偷偷在哭泣
幸福真的不容易
在你的背景 有我愛你

我可以 陪你去看星星
不用再多說明 我就要和你在一起
我不想 又再一次和你分離
我多麼想每一次的美麗 是因為你

Let it all out, Let it all out
It's okay pretending to be tough
The scribbled flowers someone painted on the wall tremble

No one knows their own way of being
You lose it and find it during the long long path on your way
Suddenly I feel lonely
There's also days in which I'd burst into tears, but...

Let's transform pain and tears into stars
Let's turn on the light that will illuminate the future
Let's hold hands together to create stardust
Let's search for the eternity that will shine powerfully

Farewell, perhaps it'll come someday
Seasons bounce around from one place to the next, nevertheless...

Despite losing the way a bit
I'm walking, I'm walking with you
Let's not change just that

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do

I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me

Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me

Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me

You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me

How tired I am of this unbearable distance between us.
How I long for the toll of the recess bell.
Have you forgotten me, grown mindless of me?
Tell me I am not writing into an abyss,
Or that is what will become of my heart

hey peepz,

the sun is peeking through the Austrian clouds this cool and getting colder autumn Tuesday. And a musing has come over me and persuaded me to drop by and breathe a little life of verbosity into my otherwise musical blog.

Its been 6 weeks here in Graz and I am already halfway through the duration of my project. For the still unfamiliar, I am here to educate about global issues, namely about poverty to high school children in various high schools in and around Graz. For the still unfamiliar, Graz is the second biggest city after Vienna in Austria. And is the birthplace of Arnold Swazcheneggar. Actually, he was born just outside of Graz. But Graz has claimed him to be their own child. Like how Vienna has done. And now California.

Teaching has always been rather fun for me. Not for the fact that I usually speak in a matter-of-fact tone (as if I know everything, when I just pretend i do), if i do speak at all, but rather I (still) believe that education is the first step to solving global problems. However, I do continue to feel rather unqualified to teach about poverty to children so accustomed to affluence and wealth (as I have). However I always justify that the poor can't travel halfway across the world to tell of their plight, so someone has to speak on their behalf. Another one of my inner dialogues arguing with one another.

On political issues, I have recently become more aware of immigration issues. Like Singapore, a lot of foreigners travel and try to settle in Austria, for all sorts of reasons. The good thing about the EU, is that the ability travel around is very liberal and free. However, Austria (and Germany) seems to be having some issues with certain groups of a different religion and culture. Some Austrian complain about their reluctance to integrate and adopt local ways of living, but instead ghetto and group themselves and continue to display with varying degrees of pride, their home cultures. And it so happens, that many of them tend to be rather loud and prominent, not just in their looks, but to oomph it up with their clothing and behaviors. To say there is some resentment against these foreigners is to be politically correct in an otherwise 'neutral' and 'developed first world country.' Sounds like Singapore? It does so to me.

So is what is happening here in Austria going to be played out in Singapore? At the current rate (or at least from the reports Wilson has kindly been sending me), it does seem so. Singapore, already crowded, is getting more crowded. And by people who are less likely to integrate as our forefathers have.

But the good thing is that, I think Singaporeans, as opposed to Austrians are more tolerant and more exposed to the effects of globalization and internationalization. Many of the children I have talked to thinks that all Chinese eat dogs. I don't blame them really, since the social and personal value of dogs as pets seem to take higher standing than most other issues. (But then again, a few Singaporeans think there are kangeroos in Austria.)

So coming back to the immigration issue in Singapore. What sort of effects would we incur if the policy of flooding our shores with foreign talents continue? Just wondering we can predict any parallelisms with what is happening here with whats is happening there.

Make You Feel My Love - Adele



When the rain is blowing in your face,
and the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
to make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
and there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
but I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
no doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
to make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
and on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free,
you ain't seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
to make you feel my love,
to make you feel my love.

Proud -- Heather Small



I look into the window of my mind
Reflections of the fears I know I've left behind
I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I'm on my way
Can't stop me now
And you can do the same (yeah)

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Still so many answers I don't know (there are so many answers)
Realize that to question is how we grow (to question is to grow)
So I step out of the ordinary
I can feel my soul ascending
I'm on my way
Can't stop me now
You can do the same (yeah)

What have you done today to make you feel proud?
It's never too late to try
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
You could be so many people
If you make that break for freedom
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

(yeah) We need a change (Yeah)
Do it today (yeah)
I can feel my spirit rising
(change, yeah) We need a change (yeah)
So do it today (yeah)
'Cause I can see a clear horizon

What have you done today to make you feel proud? (to make you feel proud)
(let me hear ya X3)So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
(yeah)'Cause you could be so many people
Just make that break for freedom
So what have you done today to make you feel proud?
