"I think maybe I only know one thing in this world. One thing for sure. And that is that the truth does not set you free." - Harry Bosch, The Narrows
And reading on,
"The truth does not salvage you or make you whole again. It does not allow you to rise above the burden of lies and secrets and wounds to the heart. The truths I have learned hold me down like chains in a dark room, an underworld of ghosts and victims that slither around me like snakes. It is a place where the truth is not something to look at or behold. It is the place where evil waits. Where it blows its breath, every breath, into your mouth and nose until you cannot escape from it. This is what I know. The only thing. (...) I knew that my life's mission would always take me to the places where evil waits, to the places where the truth that I might find would be an ugly and horrible thing. And still I went without pause. And still I went not being ready for the moment when evil would come from its waiting place. When it would grab at me like an animal and take me down into the black water." - Harry Bosch, The Narrows
Michael Connelly has always been my favourite author. Now you know why.
SHE's song in their new album, PLAY, is called 五月天. That, you should know by now. Or perhaps you've watched this too. But maybe you're not aware of this.
真是一群智障。就是一个吻嘛，干吗大呼小叫的？有必要这么激动嘛？Who are you to deem what he did as wrong? Does he have to ask you for permission for everything? Come on. It's his life. He controls it. Not you. What's more, he's 32 yrs old! Respect his decisions. 不要把“阿信变了”摆在嘴边。你又不是阿信，你说变他就变啊？你管的了他么。真是无聊。
The following is what I saw from 百度吧。This really reflects how I feel. Thanks, whoever you are.
Next week is MayDay's JUMP HK, first stop of the world tour that will see them coming to Singapore on the 2nd of June.
哎，什么是五月之雪？

九号球 Thursday, April 26, 2007
九號球 - 五月天
逃走 翻過圍牆 我只能逃走 從教室裡頭 奔向自由 熟悉角落 有人在等我 有挑釁的笑容
今天誰先開球 讓誰嚐點苦頭 綠色地平線上 我撞著 彩色墮落
也許我這一杆 又沒辦法進球 就像我的生活 一直在出差錯
也許我這一生 始終在追逐那顆九號球 卻忘了 是誰在愛我 卻忘了 是誰在罩著我
從前 書包很滿 裝不下的夢 就丟了一些 未來我們 要怎麼活 凝視著白球 暫時我不去想
天空漸漸變紅 影子爬滿球桌 輸贏沒有結果 像人生 難以捉摸
This song really reflects my present feelings. Sometimes I wonder, why am I so dumb? Why am I such a loser? Why can't I achieve anything in life, why can't I get anything right? What is my purpose? Am I worthless? 我是一只翻不了身的咸鱼。My life is a disaster, and nobody can correct it for me. Where is my angel when I need one? 有一天，当我睁开眼睛，才发现我的天使不知何时已悄然消失了。是把我放弃了吗？那，又有谁能帮得了一个搞不清自己地位、摸不清人生目标、对自己不抱有一丝希望的烂人？我实在太平庸了。我的存在，又意味着什么？毕竟，在浩如烟海的人生，我比一滴海水还渺小，还没有价值。我对未来，应该还抱有任何期望、任何憧憬吗？
也許我這一杆 又沒辦法進球 就像我的生活 一直在出差錯
再恰当不过了。
其实，人生的真谛，又有多少人能在有生之年领悟得到？
Screwed. That's one word that can sum up my life.
So what if you put in so much effort? Nobody looks at the process anyway. In the end, nothing counts.
MayDay songs have never failed to make me feel better. (x
实在太感动啦。

MayDay's latest MV, 忘词!
Pirates of the Caribbean III out next month! Boy, I am excited. Ah. Starting to miss my previous Jack/Liz blogskin. (x As a Sparrabeth shipper, I still have hope. I have faith that our ship will never sink! (:
Till now, Tudou has been the most user-friendly video sharing site I've used. Youtube hates blogger, so it's out of the equation now. Next up, OotP trailer.
See that? Snape!! (: Woohoo slimy guy. And is Lupin gonna appear? That guy is just so sweet. This will be a good movie, I suppose. HBP should be even better! [Guess why]
Saw this video last year actually, but this one is uploaded early this year I think. But whatever it is, this video is hilarious! Poor Ashin.. -.-
This is a video of Ashin introducing his hometown. Hear him speak of his First Love! It's pretty lame though. (:
Now it's Achin's turn! 谁是好朋友(飞 阿沁 Linda) Haha greedy Faye and Linda!
记得爱 Full MV! (:
Tomorrow is English SA! Arghh enthocentrism. (x Like I really freaking care about the essay.
WooHOOO!

Froggers
Sometimes I think I'm just so brilliant.
Since that Great Fall I had when I was 6 [cycling in East Coast Park], I've had numerous major cuts and bruises that a normal human being will certain get throughout the years. And yep, last week, I tripped over an exposed root and suffered a bruise on my right knee. It was unglamourous, nothing to be proud of, since unlike JiaCong, I didn't fall during Soccer, but fell after NPCC when I was rushing off for my dental appointment. On my way home on 105, people stared at my bleeding knee, because I just washed my wound but the bleeding didn't stop, so blood continued to ooze out. I don't really care about infections, because I prefer wounds to heal by themselves and I find plasters and bandages annoying. To me, falling and not getting a cut or two is so wasted. I like moderate/mild pain, it tells me I'm alive. So after my fall, I was pretty excited/happy for the rest of the day.
Uh oh. Now you may think the way my brain is wired is plain weird. I think so too.
But it just gets even more hilarious. On Saturday, before NPCC Day Parade, I woke up at 9, blinded by the glaring sunlight seeping through the glass pane. So, I closed my eyes and walked to the bathroom, only to bang my toe and my head against the bathroom door! The force banged the door open, and my Dad, who was brushing his teeth inside, stared in shock at me. Before I knew it, my big toe was bleeding. It was really quite painful, more so than the bruise on my knee. Maybe I take too many things for granted. I took for granted that all doors were open. I was so certain that I was the only one at home.
Oh froggers. =/
Most of my friends had their RS presentations today. Shimin told me about Frog's presence, so I went to find her. I was really surprised to see Jasmine and gang as well as Chin Hwee presenting at the same venue as well. My Sec2 Math teacher was there too, with Frog. Bahs! I've been avoiding her ever since I realized she knows sth about me that'll finish me off, and then..? Today? I was pretty sure she was smiling at me when she saw me. 0.0
ODAFROG. :(
But I am still happy! Frog was amusing. Frog was smilely. Frog was everything nice. [The amused frog is amusing.]
Overall, I think Frog's a mixture of Ashin and Guan You. Is that why I like MayDay in the first place? Or is it the other way round?
WUUUUUYUEEEEETIANNNNN.
Less than 39days to JUMP! (:

王子面 [Literally, Prince's Noodles -.-]
I think the MV is rather cute. (:
Too bad, cannot find the Live performance by Stefanie Sun, Ashin and Monster on Tudou, and YouTube really hates blogger these days, so here's a link.
Woohoo Achin! (: He's quite talented. MayDay and Achin!! :D

Cai Hong MV. This video was taken from Ni Yao Qu Na Li, when MayDay faded out the from the scene temporarily because of NS and other commitments. This MV never fails to make my eyes water whenever I watch it. T.T
Guan You is super funny. Him and Pin Guan look like twins larh.
Pin Guan and Ashin singing! (:
ZZZZ. Final touchups and my SS PT should be done! Whee.

Really nice song by who else other than MayDay! So touched by this song. (: It's the song Guan You used to propose to his girl friend in Final Home - Beijing! Wah he was crying like mad, and the fans were crying too, so was his girlfriend. (: -Cue for Ashin to sing Xiang Xin- Here's the proposal. : D
And this is the MV.
Ariel is the lead in the MV. Ooi Retard Huimin, don't suan MayDay leh, even though I'm pretty sure you will. So mean. What's so great about Ariel anyway. 0.o
Didn't know that my Final Home 3+2 box set actually consists of 5 vcds. -.- I've always thought it's 3 cds and 2 vcds. So I guess it's a pleasant surprise? Since Mayday rocks at Live performances. It's quite touching, especially Xiang Xin and Zhi Zu, while Xiao Hu Shi was super high haha, because of their dance. -.-
This makes me feel even more excited about June! Whee JUMP!

Math was a complete screw up. I am not gonna talk about it. Gone were the days I could still manage a satisfactory grade for Math. Gone were the days I could just not mug Math at all. Gone.. gone forever.
Mr Yang is super hilarious!! He was so funny during sports fest, and today, we all almost died laughing in his class. x) His story about the fan catching fire was just too.. amusing. His sister and her long hair, they and their intensive discussions, him and his GREAT idea. -Bemused- I think we're lucky to have him, since we're like the only class in the whole level getting him for Physics.. He really lightens up Physics lessons with his funny [and not so funny] jokes/remarks.
I feel so relaxed today! SS PT due date is postponed, so I'll probably rush it out on Friday, even though common sense tells me I should not leave my work to last minute. So I shall be guai and start on my Bio Birth Control/Fertility Treatments worksheet now! (:
Hello to my MayDay cd!

Back from Sports Fest and.. jogging. Finally, after my mum's relentless naggings, I managed to drag myself to run. To burn off some of my extra fats and to prepare for PFT.
Watching MayDay performing Cai Hong in Ni Yao Qu Na Li, and seeing him perspiring heavily makes me smile, because I am sweating just as much, if not worse, right now. Gah. It's pretty gross actually. I'm gonna bathe!
I find the Xian Chang version of 志明與春嬌 cute! (x Reminds me of Ashin's Bao and Puff song! Haha. -scratches-
