I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
ok... why did i decide to write the above in chinese? coz i guess my mother tongue is still mandarin, so when i think, they are in chinese, especially when they are my feelings... i still hv somemore to write though..haha..but a bit difficult to type in chinese coz my hanyu pinyin is not good.. i think i probably takes far lesser time writing them out myself than typing them out.. haha.. so, i will write something more next time in chinese... this time, about my dreams... coz in my msn i have been saying, “人因有梦想,才会伟大。你有梦想吗?我呢?我的梦想是什么?” for those not proficient in chinese ( and i guess u probably dun understd wat i was saying above for this entry, is ok..haha.. u can try translating it i guess :p).. ok.. i was saying, "Men will only became great when they have dreams. Do you have dreams? How about me? What is my dream?"
i was so sad when carrie yeo from the project superstar was out of the show on thur... such a good singer with potential.. and her rendition on wednesday moved many ppl's hearts... and she even scored the highest of all seasons.. but i reali felt good for her to have come so far and getting the praises from the judges after so many many episodes of choosing the wrong songs and having stage fright... many ppl 'condemning' her after she forgot her lyrics in one of the shows... i still did believe in her. though i still can see that she doesnt have much self confdence sometimes from her eyes, i thot she improved tremendously on that nite... hm.. im not sure y i want to share abt her in this blog but i thot i just wanted to..haha.. afterall, there realli isnt a reason not to anyway... oh ya, and i think she is reali a great fren to be with... the one who 'beat' her in the competition is her good fren! but they are still so good despite all these...thats simply great.. and now that she is out, she is now supporting and rooting for the one who won her..haha... where can u find such a fren?
... and is quite amazing that i came to like this lass. i have been watching Project Superstar 2 ever since it started but when i 1st saw her, i reali dun like her.. i felt and thought that she was a bit 'fake' but when i heard her voice, i hv to admit that she has a good and powerful voice. though i dun like her, i just thot she will go far..since she is rather pretty as well.. but when she got 'out' in her 2nd round i was rather shocked. coz even though i dun support her, i thought she shldnt be the one who shld be out. she got the voice and look. there are those in the group who got the look but cant sing. even though earlier on, there were contestants who can sing but got out, but i thot they dun hv the looks. but then, i predicted she will be back agn via the revival round. i think that was when i started to support her. i was rather worried when theres another one who scored higher than her during the revival, and i hv to say that person (dawn) impressed me with her rendition of Beautiful Love by tanya coz b4 that i dun reali think that the song is nice until she sang it. but then, to cut a long story short, carrie got back in anyway... and her performance somehow didnt improve at all after 2 shows... many ppl started to criticise her and even all the other gers in the group... wah..paisei man..such a long winded entry...
anyway, wats my point??
she shldnt be out de lor!! i wanted to watch her in singapore indoor stadium! anyway, though she lost, she has did herself proud by scoring the highest and many ppl lamenting that she shld hv won... but..this kind of voting competition is lidat de... i dun think the voting helps in gauging the popularity though it helps in parts... and this voting system is proved flawed over and over agn.. the undeserving got in and the deserving out... ok ok, to be fair, diya is good in her rights. just that i thot carrie is better...haha.
ok, after such a long entry.. i also duno wats the point.. heehee...
i think im tired..and a bit sleepy.. but.. hmm.. just dun feel like sleeping.. sighz.. i think is the emotions, but then, not realli too.. just dunno wats wrong with me.. haha..
went to watch the 'confession of pain' today. hm.. not bad a movie.. but i agreed with my sis who feels that if the murderer wasnt disclosed first, the movie might be much nicer... but of coz, is quite obvious that the murderer is tony leung lah... but nt according to my sis though.. haha.. find it rather nice overall.. the way it is film is great.. i like the way the story goes especially the playback of the crime scene where takeshi was in the hall.. the story is interesting in the way that not all good ppl are all good and not all bad ppl are realli bad ppl... there may be a backgrd that is unknown to many ppl.. i think that is wat humans are abt.. we all nt all gd, neither all bad.. and who can tell us we are good or bad.. but of coz, i will say we are all naturedly bad..haha... to me, i dun think tony leung is a bad person in the movie.. i will say that he was a sad person, and a man with a pain in him, thats y for the title, the confession of pain. my sis differs and says that he is a bad man coz though his family were killed, he can choose not to... this again, i think is true.. but i like i said, it is human nature... a normal person will wan revenge. mayb sometimes a person will choose to forget... but i think we all cant really say wat we will choose unless we went thru it ourselves. i say this thru experience. coz there are times when ppl responded in certain ways, and i thot to myself, if is me, i definitely wun behave lidat. well, more often than nt, i find myself responded in their ways, who noes, mayb worst than them... when that happened, i truely know that i am not as good a person as i thot myself to be.. or wan myself to be... we are still learning more abt ourselves everyday and do we do anything abt ourselves is another matter altogether... but i hope we are all on a upward spiral instead of a down one! in God's way, it is impt to keep our hearts open and soft, in that way, the chance of falling will be lesser...haha
this is a lengthy post, as usual. i dun like to post pics coz im lazy. a pic paints a thousand words, so since i dun hv a pic, i shall type a thousand words..haha... duno wats wrong with me today.. im feeling emo.. ahh! must be the time of the mth cmg..heh... ok..and i apologize for my horrible grammar.. my mind and eyes are tired but i refuse to shut down... oh my... better go.. i have service tmr! is going to b a long day! alrite.. b4 i go.. im gg to watch 'one last dance' next.. think is kinda like 'confession of pain'? oh.. and i looking forward to the pss2 finals next wk...haha... who is going to win?
