另一个我,你在哪里?

昨天晚上我再一次地一个人去听马来西亚爱乐乐团的音乐会。这是四年以来的不知道第几次,除了08年Nora在这里的时候,陪我去了一次,之后我都是独行侠。每次在场的观众里面大部分都是洋人,而且年纪都偏大,华人更是老头老太太居多,要么就是父母带着小孩子的,很少有我这个年龄段的人。可能是跟大马的家庭教育有关系吧,除非是学乐器的孩子,否则父母很少有人会熏陶孩子们欣赏古典音乐,原因很简单,父母自己也不懂。

今天上完了第二节韩语课,满脑袋都是啊涩哟,啊尼哟,我觉得我老师肯定认为我蠢到家了,百教不会的,老师自己是聪明又勤奋的人,遇到我这种不太聪明的学生,就只有吐血的份了。我在吐血了近两个小时后,回到家一开电脑就看到喜讯---ATP马来西亚公开赛3月4号决赛的门票团购价仅35块!参赛者有大威,彭帅等等。可惜的是没有万人迷莎娃,如果有的话,我怕我会爱上她。赛事的奖金是220k美金,跟其他普通ATP赛事一样,并没有因为是在这种非发达国家而缩水。看到这么白菜的票价,我真的hold不住了!如果是上海公开赛的话,我相信票价在后面加个0都不止。心动不如行动,我想马上订票,转念一想,问问朋友们看有没有人感兴趣的。于是乎,在面子书上大肆宣扬一番,问了一群人,结果是,我不说你也知道,感兴趣的人数为零。

我觉得我没必要太过于在意做某件事情有没有人陪,只要我自己开心就好,很多事情是可以一个人去做的,也可以很享受的。尽管如此,还是偶尔禁不住感叹,有没有人是跟我志趣相投,臭味相同的呢?如果有的话,我肯定会嫁给他/她,或者缠着他/她一辈子。要找到跟自己有某个相同兴趣的人很容易,可是鬼知道为什么我有那么一大堆兴趣爱好,如果个个都要跟我是交集,那真的是很难。十多年前我就知道,不可能要求一双手又会打篮球又会拉小提琴,因为二者根本就是背道而驰的。
愿我能早日停止幻想,从睡梦中醒来,另一个我,根本不存在,所谓的soulmate,是我想太多了吧......

Legends are leaving us, one by one

It was an ordinary Sunday yesterday and I was going to have my regular activity with friends---our karaoke session. While I was browsing through news before leaving home, something popped out and caught my eyes, Whitney Houston passed away in Beverly Hilton Hotel in LA! There was no reason given and she is only 48 years old.

It took me quite some time to digest what this news really meant. Is it that Whitney who deeply touched our hearts by her all time legend ? I don't think I need any explanation on how famous that song is coz even my mum who does not speak a single word of English is familiar with the rhythm. After I show her the MV, she recognized Whitney immediately although she can't pronounce her name. Shame on somebody who does not know who Whitney Houston is yet still dares to claim that he knows more English songs than me. Honestly speaking I have not encountered any Chinese who knows more English songs than me. As they accompanied me through the years during my childhood and a freak like me seldom listened to any Chinese pop songs before 2001.

The movie is already 20 years old, so is . 20 years just passed through our fingers like nobody's business.Fast forward to 1998, which is from the OST of the movie ,I only got to know it in 2000, from the magazine if I'm not mistaken. It accompanied me through the hardship of my father's leaving and the cruel high school entry exam. While every teacher in my Junior high was telling me that I could not make it for CQ No.1 Middle School, this song gave me enough courage at that crucial point of time while nobody was there for me.The only thing I could rely on is my own faith and belief. I believed in myself and miracles did happen. That was for the first time,I got to know the power of faith.

The falling of another super star, it taught us a few lessons. For women,marriage is like a reborn. What kind of 2nd life are you gonna have is fully dependent on what kind of people you marry. Whitney married an ass and she was deeply in love with the ass which resulted in her tragedy today.I really feel sorry for her, it's a huge loss for us human beings as we really don't have so many wonderful vocals around us.Her death made me feel quite emotional, no less than MJ's. As a person who loves to reminisce, I'd always write some grumbles after some issues struck my heart strings.Whitney, we will always love you.

To all my dear readers,i'm just grumbling,no offence. By the way, happy Valentine's day to all, whether you are single or in a sweet relationship, that does not matter. As long as you love yourself, everyday is a Valentine's day!
