いつも通りのある日のこと
君は突然立ち上がり言った
「今夜 星を見に行こう」

たまにいいこと言うんだね
なんて 皆して言って笑った
明かりもない道を
馬鹿みたいにはしゃいで歩いた
抱え込んだ孤独や不安に
押し潰されないように

真っ暗な世界から見上げた
夜空は 星が降るようで
いつからだろう 君のことを
追いかける 私がいた
どうかお願い 驚かないで
聞いてよ 私の
この思いを

「あれが、デネブ、アルタイル、ベガ」
君は指差す 夏の大三角
覚えて 空を見る
やっと見つけた 織姫様
だけどどこだろう 彦星様
これじゃ 一人ぼっち

楽しげな ひとつ隣の君
私は何も言えなくて
本当はずっと 君のことを
どこかでわかっていた
見つかったって 届きはしない
だめだよ 泣かないで
そう言い聞かせた

強がる私は臆病で
興味がないようなフリをしてた

だけど

胸を刺す痛みは増してく
あぁそうか 好きになるって
こういうことなんだね

どうしたい?
言ってごらん?
心の声がする
君の隣がいい
真実は残酷だ

言わなかった 言えなかった
二度と 戻れない
あの夏の日 煌めく星
今でも思い出せるよ

笑った顔も 怒った顔も
大好きでした
可笑しいよね
わかってたのに
君の知らない 私だけの秘密

夜を越えて 遠い思い出の
君が 指をさす
無邪気な声で

On a day like every other day,
You suddenly stood up and said,
“Tonight let’s go see the stars”
“You say good things once in a while”
Said everyone as they laughed
On a street with no light
We walked while having fun like idiots.
In order to crush,
The loneliness and uncertainty we were carrying.

I looked up from a pitch black world
The night sky seemed as if it was raining stars
I wonder when, I started to
Chase after you.
Please, somehow
Don’t be surprised and listen
To these feelings of mine.

“That’s Deneb, Altari, and Vega”,
You finger pointed at the Summer Triangle.
I remember and looked at the sky.
I finally found Vega,
But where are you, Altair?
If it’s like this, you’re all alone.

The cheerful you who was one next to me,
I couldn’t say a word to you.
Truthfully, I understood my feelings for you,
Somewhere a long time ago.
I found it, but I won’t tell you.
“That’s no good, don’t cry”
Please let me hear that from you.

I was a coward and put on a tough face,
I pretended to be uninterested.

But…

The pain piercing my chest increased
Ah, I see. To like someone,
Is something like this.

What’s the matter?
Try saying it?
My heart is beating
I’m fine by your side
The truth is cruel.

I didn’t say it,
I couldn’t say it.
We can never return.

To that summer day,
To those shining stars.
Even now, I still remember.
Your laughing face,
Your angry face.
I loved you.

It’s strange, isn’t it?
Even though I know that.
Something you don’t know,
A secret for me alone.
Across the night,
From a distant memory,
You pointed with your finger,
And in an innocent voice

recreation

February 6, 2009

(As I was signing the book in/book out form in the platoon office)
Platoon Sergeant: He’s a softball player, you know!
Me: nah I just play it for recreation.
Instructor #1: (immediately, to Instructor #2) So, I heard you have sex.
Instructor #2: Ya, for recreation.
Instructors: *guffaws*
Me: *facepalm*

physics mcq

November 18, 2008

At the rate it’s going, my blog will probably receive its 10000th visit by tomorrow. Hooray!

Physics MCQ wasn’t too bad, in my opinion. Considering that I’ve been getting an average of 25/40 for practice mcqs, I found that I had gotten at least 32 marks for this MCQ, which is excellent by my standards, even though I know that some are lamenting the fact that they got at least 3 questions wrong.

On to music. 8 days. I can hardly wait. Time to immerse myself in mridangams, imbals, the Les Six and whatnots.

Make A Difference

October 28, 2008

by John Maguire

It’s May 2009 in the Cat and Fiddle pub on Stanley Road, Bootle.
Two fella’s are sitting at a table motionless, staring into their pints,
Refusing to acknowledge what is being beamed out
to the world on the Big Screen in the corner.

“Thought you’d have gone to West Brom lad”

“Nah, couldn’t be arsed mate, i’m fed up with it……….
I never thought i’d see this day when these *****
equal our League Title’s record.”

The screen in the pub is showing footage of
Manchester United players running round the pitch
with the Premier League trophy, the fans delirious
knowing that they have finally ended Liverpool FC’s
reign as the team to have won the most league titles.

“Sickener innit? You know our problem don’t ye lad,
too many draws, look back to the likes of Stoke and Portsmouth
at home? The week before Stoke, we beat Man U,
the game before Portsmouth, we beat Chelsea away,
and then we go and draw against them ***** teams.”

“Tellin’ ye…the team and the crowd are just not up for it in them lesser league games, and we’ll never mount a decent title challenge
until both the team and the supporters go into these games and give it their all…..I just wish I could turn back the clock
to October 2008 when we’d just beaten Chelsea and we’re sittin at the top of the Prem.

I’d do absolutely everything that I possibly could to drill it into our players
hearts that it was our year. And if we, the supporters, believe in them
and could transfer that belief from the terraces and into their
minds…then we would’ve done it. We’d've stopped this ******* nightmare!
We’d beaten the best, we just had to then beat the rest.”

“I know mate, I know….can’t turn back the time though can we. Just got to focus on next season now, see who we buy in the summer, and then hope we
mount a decent challenge…..aaaah who am I kidding?

We’re always out of the title race by January…can’t see that ever changing….”

The two fella’s gulp down the last of their pints and shuffle
out onto the street, Sky Sports is now showing footage of the Man U
game, “Beautiful Day” by U2 accompanying the celebratory scenes at the end…

…then, the music stops,

And you realize that it’s not May, it’s not 2009, it’s October 2008.
You’ve got your wish. The time has been turned back and you’ve
got that second chance to make a difference.

So what are you going to do with it?

Cos I don’t wanna be sitting there watching those ***** run round whatever pitch they clinch it with their 18th League Title…**** THAT!

We know we, the supporters, can make a difference.
I’m not arrogant enough to suggest we’ve won games ourselves
(ok, maybe the Chelsea semi 2005 like) but we DEFFO make a difference.

So as long as we do our bit off the pitch,
We might not be watching them horrible ***** celebrating their
18th League Title come May 2009.

Singing, flags, banners, getting’ in the ground a bit early etc. Sound. No problemo.

What about something different though,

What time does our Team’s Coach arrive?

What about a proper mob of die-hard Redmen waiting on Anfield Road
for the Team Bus to turn up. That could give them a bit of an edge,
seeing a load of contorted faces, clenched fists and banging on the
side of the coach instead of a gang of blerts with Anfield Arnie Autograph books.

Some of our younguns could get down to Melwood the training session before a game,
let the ***** know that WE mean business and we DEMAND them to mean it too.

Things like, if ye see Riera doing a bit of shopping in the Allerton Tesco,
Don’t blimp his trolley to see what scran he’s just bought,
Grab the **** by the ******* throat and scream down his ear
How important it is that we beat Fulham this Satdee!

Cos ye know what la, I’d hate to be watching that shower of *******s with number 18,
knowing in the back of me mind that there was something more
I could’ve done to prevent the horror show of what we’d be witnessing.

Oh and just to re-iterate, man u could be winning their 18th League Title in May 2009.

MAKE A DIFFERENCE

———————————–

But what about supporters residing in places other than Merseyside?

Nothing much, except to post on facebook/blogs/forums warning the players to not get complacent against ‘weaker’ teams, or else. sigh.

Wall-E Easter Eggs

September 26, 2008

Watched Wall-E last Tuesday with the J2 Photog people. We missed the first 5mins, which was a shame because I read somewhere that Wall-E was the X in “PIXAR” during the intro of the makers of the movie. Would be nice to know how the introduction was like.

Anyway, if you have watched the movie already, you would already know that it is full of references to many many things, including other PIXAR movies, Apple and even real-life events.

Wikipedia has an entry on this but compared to the following link, it might as well not have written anything at all.

Spoilers after the break.

And i still haven’t found what I’m looking for

And that’s referring to you, the random web surfer who thinks he/she can find the questions to the 30 questions meme. No you can’t find it here. Bye.

Wiki vandals ftw!

Last Wednesday [10sept]:

And that’s not including the one about peanuts-and-kidneys.

Back to mugging.  ”The transport analysts were skeptical about the potential benefits of a merger between SMRT and SBS Transit as the ‘economies of scale would be limited’. To what extent do you agree with the above view?”

the revamped straits times (+ online)

August 14, 2008

Apparently, people do not like the new version of ST, both the print and online version.

Seems like only people disgruntled about Singapore’s politics are commenting on the online ST discussion board. here

Though I have no negative views about the print edition, I wholly agree that the webmasters of ST Online are doing a very very bad job. It seems like the entire website is mostly broken, if not entirely.

Some egs:

wordle

August 3, 2008

From yanneng’s blog:

These are the top 150 commonly used words on my blog, excluding common English words like “the” [it would have filled half the screen if i allowed it.]

back to gary’s physics.

Till the next time, it’s me, woonie, signing off.

EDIT: I’ve decided to leave out the words “till” “next” “time” “woonie” and “signing” since it appears in every single post [hence they were the largest, as you can see in the previous wordle].
