那些日子
Finished watching high school musical 1 and 2. 1 is really fantastic. the songs and the plot made the whole show a very good one. however, hsm2 just went down the drain. the plot was super kiddy and lacking of substance. the only thing that salvaged it is the songs. really love the songs in it.
Gotta Go My Own Way is my favourite song in this whole HSM. the song is juz so sad and i can feel the pain in the song.
another colour turns to grey.
dunno why but this simple line just struck me. hope that my life will be very very colourful and not be greyish/black/white... i am sure i can! :)
enjoy the video and the song! hope you like it as much as i did.

I gotta say what's on my mind
Something about us doesn't seem right these days
Life keeps gettin in the way
Whenever we try, somehow the plan Is always rearranged
It's so hard to say But I've gotta do what's best for me
You'll be ok... I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here I hope you understand
We might find our place in thisWorld someday
But at least for now I gotta go my own way
Don't wanna leave it all behind But I get my hopes up
And I watch them fall everytime Another colour turns to grey
And it's just too hard to watch it all
Slowly fade away I'm leaving today 'cause IGotta do what's best for me
You'll be ok...
I've got to move on and be who I am
I just don't belong here I hope you understand
We might find our place in thisWorld someday
But at least for nowI gotta go my own way
[Troy]What about us? What about everything we've been through?
[Gabriella]What about trust?
[Troy]You know I never wanted to hurt you
[Gabriella]what about me?
[Troy]What am I supposed to do?
[Gabriella]I gotta leave but I'll miss you
[Troy]I'll miss you [Gabriella]SoI've got to move on and be who I am
[Troy]Why do you have to go? [Gabriella]I just don't belong here I hope you understand
[Troy]I'm trying to understand
[Gabriella]We might find our place in thisWorld somedayBut at least for now
[Troy]I want you to stay
[Gabriella]I gotta go my own wayI've got to move on and be who I am
[Troy]What about us?
[Gabriella]I just don't belong here I hope you understand
[Troy]I'm trying to understand
[Gabriella]We might find our place in thisWorld someday
But at least for nowI gotta go my own wayI gotta go my own wayI gotta go my own way

anyways, SO we decided to make the trip a super slack one. no rushing to museums or visiting places. hahhaa.. in a way it was good because we managed to look at the country and looked at how the people live through our myopic eyes.
and yes, u saw us swimming outside in the cold of 2degree Celsius. haha. it was a thermal bath actually. the temperature of the water was 25degree Celsius. we went for like 10min and we went back to the indoor ones. the bath was supposed to be good for skin complexions BUT the water was super dirty! and it was crowded with so many people.
the food was fantabulous as can be seen from the pictures. :) anyways, in eastern europe, things are generally cheaper and hence we can afford to eat abit classier. hahha. yups.
the last half of the pictures were taken in Budapest, the capital of Hungary. i am really a city person. my mood was soo much better when i reached Budapest. haha.. a typical city-dweller.
roarr... too tired to think or write anymore.. ohohh!!! suddenly remembered! 1stly, i went to other eastern european countries last year. and in the train stations, there are no gantries, just ticket machines for people to check their tickets. and so we managed to walk in and out of stations without paying for the tickets. then in Budapest, we did the same thing but we were stopped by this guy. we were fined for 5000FT per person (about 10pounds). ahhaha and we talked to him for a long time to make sure that he was real stuff and not out there to cheat our money. well, we had to fork out money lo. was quite sad at that time. however, the wonderful thing that happened was that the guy actually let us off alittle by asking olivia not to pay the fine as she is a lady. ks, benny and i were more pissed than happy even though we gained 5000FT. hahaha.. talking about gender equality! lols.
kkiez shall post more pics soooon!

hahah... dunno wad to blog about, yet feel like blogging. roar..
ermm. school has started. really grateful that my lecturers are getting better and better.. but then again, it is only the 1st week of school.
still remembered last year after spring term, i was so happy as i thought i wont have to sit in front of the computer cracking my brain till my head burst due to some evil programming like matlab and maple. But my joy was short-lived. Last term, there was this course that made use alot of matlab, last assignment of which was just handed in yesterday and i heaved a sigh of relief.
BUT! today during a lecture, Lamb, my lecturer-cum-personal tutor told us that part of our assessed courseworks will have to make use of maple and/or matlab. was too overwhelmed that i just laughed out loud in lectures. well, not that loud for heads to turn but ya i laughed. haiiiiiiiii...
nvm, next year no more liao! (hahahaha, hoping again =p)
was talking to yt like around 12hrs before her exam. yet the things we talked about are not about molecules, benzene or what-nots, not that i am able to help too :) hahha.. we talked about friendships and relationships. hmmm... have to agree that the more you expect, the more disappointed you are. and then you will start to blame yourself for thinking that way because people are different. yup yup.
(dun read too much into this paragraph =p just my thoughts.)
made me think about my wonderful family and friends back home. really cherish the bonds with each and every one of you, be it strong metallic ones or weaker van der waals one... :)
btw, must record this down in my blog so that in the future i can remember.
kudos to gy and duane for secretly sending me a card. not exactly a bdae / new year card but a card full of warmth and heart-felt thoughts. thanks a millions! reallie touched by it. (from head to toe) hahahah
sometimes i am thinking y i am so sensitive and like to think so much... if i were to be like other guys in general and be less sensitive and maybe more macho, how will my life be? hahaha... but then again, i will not be the darius today and i dun think my circle of frens will be exactly the same too... SO, cannot have the best of both worlds and the only thing i can do now is to stop thinking so much. hahahaha. yup, thank God for who i am and i am sure i ll be a better man/person in the future.
hahah reminds me of ACS motto..
my favourite line now is from 黄金路. haha yes, i am watching the channel 8 show now =p
笑也一天，哭也一天，那何不笑着过一天？
something lidat lahh, but it means alot... which is somewhat my motto for life too.. (not the ACS one .. hahahaha)
anyways, think the show is very nice. but i am only at episode 5. wahhhahah...
wow, amazing! didnt know i managed to write so much... =p

just finished reading the book ATONEMENT and watching the movie on tudou.com. the storyline is really amazing and it gropes into guilt, shame, consequences, love and hatred. hahaha i dun think it make sense now.
the setting of the story is in london, in the pre WWII period. there is this girl by the name of Briony. as a young child, her command of the language is very strong, she likes to write tales and tries to write a play. during one summer, on a hot day, she sees her sister, Cecilia taking off her outer clothes and jumping into the water to retrieve a broken vase piece (the vase is a family treasure) in front of their childhood friend, Robbie Turner. Robbie is the one who broke the vase. After the incident, Robbie and Cecilia realised that they are in love. but Briony does not interprete it that way. she thinks that Robbie is a sex maniac and she commits a crime.
The crime changes Robbie's and Cecilia's life forever. Briony spends her lifetime trying to atone for her crime and Robbie in the end chooses to be in the army to fight in the world war because he doesnt want to stay in the prison.
If you want to know the ending, watch the movie. it is really good.
the story touches me because it is all about feelings. Briony committed the crime purely because of sisterly love. she wanted to protect her sister but of course in the wrong way. the consequences of it all was too much for Briony to bear. (I cringed and my heart when i read the last few pages and watched the last few minutes of the movie.)
also, even though the crime caused Cecilia and Robbie to be separated, their love for each other was so real and intense that they have never ceased to write letters to each other and Cecilia kept asking Robbie to come back to her after the war.
life is about LOVE. if there is no love, there is no point in living in this world.
For God so loved the world that He sent His one and only Son to die for us.
