$%^&*!

Bad luck 2 days in a row. I think I offended someone up high or something. Lost my ez-link card the day before and NO ONE picked it up. I was so near the mrt station somemore. Then stupid hostel application had some hiccups AGAIN. I think that woman and I were enemies in our past lives. Nothing I do is correct leh, seriously. Whatever. Just want to crawl into bed and sleep now. Don't talk to me.

The competition for the top 8 finalists in the first season of 超级星光大道 was much better than the finale for the second season. That alone says alot. Sums up the entire 2nd season, even. And I didn't even bother to go back to the earlier episodes of the first season man! And I'm blogging while watching the finale! Oh man... So disappointing for a show that was so great the first time round. Rather hard to match up now that you have got a first season before you, I guess..

Ok, my blog is finally functioning normally, all the links are up, thanks to Winston! Yay!

And I have set up another blog just for my switzerland trip here, so do go visit it and tag on my board! It will keep track of where I'll be at and where I'm headed. Its finally starting to sink in that I'm going to be leaving soon, though I think, like all trips, it will only really sink in after I am on the plane. Gonna miss my family and friends and this comfortable environment, but I hope to gain new things from this exchange. :)

你是我的眼
词/曲：萧煌奇

如果我能看得见就能轻易地分辨白天黑夜
就能准确地在人群中牵住你的手
如果我能看得见就能驾车带你到处遨游
就能惊喜地从背后给你一个拥抱
如果我能看得见生命也许完全不同
可能我想要得我喜欢的我爱得都不一样

眼前的黑不是黑你说的白是什么白
人们说的天空蓝是我记忆中那团白云背后的蓝天
我望向你的脸却只能看见一片虚无
是不是上帝在我眼前遮住了帘忘了掀开

你是我的眼带我领略四季的变幻
你是我的眼带我穿越拥挤的人潮
你是我的眼带我阅读浩瀚的书海
因为你是我的眼让我看见这世界就在我眼前
--------------------------------------------------------

第一次听到这首歌，并不是原唱。在超级星光大道中听林宥嘉唱这首歌就已经很有感觉。因为歌词写得太好，深深地被感动。原唱萧煌奇看不见，声音却如此的穿透人心。用一句陶子在节目上说的话 -- 我们比他看到了更多，但是我们感受到的比他少太多了。突然，所有曾经遇到的不如意都显得好渺小。

听着他的歌声，惊觉我们在许多方面其实比他更有障碍。眼睛健全的我们，更害怕失败与挫折。因为没有真正感受过失去，所以会刻意地回避它。总是反复的思考，时常不敢尝试，无法突破自我设下的限制。

在很多方面，我们比很多人幸福。生长在和平的世界，美满的家庭，有健全的身躯。也许是因为太幸福了，让我们不懂如何努力争取，不知道真正要的是什么，更没有勇气选择和别人不同的路。幸福，若蒙住了双眼，让我们无法感受美好，迷失方向，能否算是一种不幸？

Updates

Wow, school has started for my smu and ntu friends! Have a great term! Haha. As for me, (hopefully) german classes will start soon, and in the meantime I'm just slacking. Just taking one day at a time!

Accomodation has FINALLY been settled, and I finally have a room confirmed and waiting for me in Bern. I don't really want to go into details here, in case my karma not good enough and someone related chances upon this blog with loads of complaints about the matter. I've already stepped on some toes, so let's not make it worse, yeah? All I can say is that it was all rather dramatic and comical (in some sense), and that loads of emails were involved. Haha. Ask me if u want to know, but it really depends on my mood.

Here are updates on the past week:

Sunday
Met up with BLEWKY with FULL attendance! How rare is that? Had a nice lunch at Holland V's Essential Brew, and it was really good to see everyone again. Haha. Reminds me of all the times we were in jc, talking and laughing in the canteen during breaks. I miss those times, but well, you can't turn back time no matter how hard you try. At least we still keep in contact and we actually meet up. Too bad lianne had to leave early though, you should have stayed for our settler's cafe session. It was hilarious, especially when we played taboo. Play with bell sometime and you will understand why. LOL. Photos will hopefully be up soon. Haha.

Monday-Tuesday
Slacking and youtubing. lol

Wednesday
Went to send Yun off. She's now in LA touring (or maybe still sleeping off the jetlag, lol). Her final term already, and she's going exchange! Omg I'm not going to see you for at least 6 months, and it hasn't really sunk in yet. But then, we will both be experiencing so many new things, and hopefully that keeps our minds off home and homesickness. As I was waving at her as she checked in, it suddenly struck me that in less than 1 month, that will be me on the other side of the glass.

Thursday (today)
I just went ktv! With my colleagues from my internship company. Only 3 of us, but we had quite alot of fun, especially when we started singing all the old songs. Er but please charm, your repertoire is a teensy bit too classical...

Well, updates end here for now, will blog again soon!
