你知道每个星期日的早上，收音机总是播放着那80年代的歌曲。陈百强，张国荣等的经典歌曲。
昏昏睡睡中，早晨的阳光把你叫醒，拉你到房门前。
在那百听不厌的怀旧歌声下，妈妈哼着歌，边烫着你的校服。你站在门前看着她的背影，朦朦胧胧，却好熟悉。
好怀念。
那破旧的收音机，那过时的音律，在那耀眼的阳光，妈妈哼着当年与老爸的故事，点点滴滴都述说在那赤裸裸的歌声中。
妈，好想跟你说，每个星期天早晨的你，真的很漂亮。
妈，生日快乐。

Tic Tac
I've got a lie
in my pocket.
I've got a life
in my suitcase.
Throw me into the deep blue sea.
I'll swim
Swim till I don't see land
Swim to the lamp that waves at me.
Put me on a big jumbo bike,
I'll paddle
with both my arms spread wide open
against the direction of flux.
Guess what're my chances of getting rammed.
Give me some time,
I'll buy you a cup of coffee
from the café across the street
run by a lovely Chinese Malaysian couple.
I have a lie in my life.
I have a life in my lie.
Both in my pocket and my suitcase.
And I'm ready to fly
away from the life
that I'm standing fine.
I lie to live.
I live to lie.
But will never cross the line
of pride.

Dream, dream.
Do you have a dream?
...
Did you ever have a dream?
...
As far as I remember, I have dreams. No, better put, I HAD dreams.
I just realized that I'm lost.
It's not me that's operating my body anymore. My soul? Where has it gone to? I haven't had a clue.
It's been a while since my soul stayed intact with my body, synchronizing my efforts.
Yes, it's been a while.
Is it because I've achieved one of my greatest dreams? That my soul saw no reason to stay put with my body, that it had decided to wander outside, looking for its new mate.
Is it because the harsh ambient pressure that crushed my dreams so hard that they're now gone? What they left me with is just an empty opened jar.
Or is this part of the growing process where you've gotta abandon all your dreams before you step onto the so-called adult stage? The reality welcome your body, not your soul that carries the lollipops in the jar.
Dream, dream. I'd rather give up my youth to look for you, instead of bowing to the Mr. Reality who wants to sell away my body in London.
Dream, dream. We both promised to save the world together, to infiltrate the system, to f*ck around with the authorities. But how can I do these without you?
Dream, dream. I still have faith in you, even though I have got no idea what faith is. I just know that if you're around, my life will be sunnier, no matter how harsh it is.
Dream, dream. Your leaving is contagious. When you're gone, you had my student chosen the course she is not interested in. When you're gone, my friend's future is bleak as lust came over to him and broke his virginity.
Dream, dream. I don't want to be sucked into this black hole of cruelty.
Where are you when I need you to throw me a rescue?
I once remember you told me not to be a dream chaser, but a dream catcher, like Ash not Team Rocket. I promise one day, I'll catch you with all the Pokemons I have in hand, before we can fight together again. Period.
Love,
Gotta-catch-em-all-again. =)

Random Awesome
It was 11'C,
Sunshine greeted the day
Down to Portobello Market I went,
Bought a plant and two shirts without a convincing reason.
That was something random,
That has turned to something awesome.
It was 12'C,
Of banana butterscotch crepes
And freshly-milked hot milk,
Wonderfully healthy breakfast that was.
That was something random,
That has turned to something awesome.
It was 13'C,
With laughter and teases,
I told her how I used to like her
Long time ago.
That was something random,
That has turned to something awesome.
It was 14'C,
Only hoodies and Hawaiian shorts
And clip-on sunglasses,
Walked through that awfully crowded Hyde Park.
That was something random,
That has turned to something awesome.
It was 15'C,
Filled up and sent the application form
For the volunteering programme
Under the turtle conservation project.
That was something random,
That has turned to something awesome.
It was 16'C,
Solved dozens of Math questions,
Derived Cramer's rule,
Discovered the good use of Matrices
To solve Pauli's spin in quantum mechanics.
That was something random,
That has turned to something awesome.
When awesomeness are random,
When randomness are awesome,
You know that spring is already here.
P/S: Some of my friends have been complaining that my blog is a little bit too emotional. Well, I just can't help it. There are times you need to spit out all your unhappiness, there are times you need to tell somebody about your pain without telling them verbally, there are times you need to try and make yourself happy by eliminating all negative feelings. =)
