“some of us are looking at the stars”

From my all time favourite movie–Cinema Paradiso…

Alfredo: Once upon a time, a king gave a feast. And there came the most beautiful princesses of the realm. Now, a soldier, who was standing guard, saw the king’s daughter go by. She was the most beautiful one, and he immediately fell in love with her. But what could a poor soldier do when it came to the daughter of the king? Well, finally, one day, he managed to meet her, and he told her that he could no longer live without her. The princess was so impressed by his strong feelings that she said to the soldier: “If you can wait 100 days and 100 nights under my balcony, then at the end of it, I shall be yours.” Damn! The soldier immediately went there and waited one day. And two days. And ten. And then twenty. And every evening, the princess looked out of her window, but he never moved. During rain, during wind, during snow, he was always there. The bird shat on his head, and the bees stung him, but he didn’t budge. After ninety nights, he had become all dried up, all white, and the tears streamed from his eyes. He couldn’t hold them back. He no longer had the strength to sleep. All that time, the princess watched him. And on the 99th night, the soldier stood up, took his chair, and went away.

Toto: [later in the film, Toto gives Alfredo his interpretation] …In one more night, the princess would have been his. But she also could not possibly have kept her promise. And it would have been terrible. He would have died. This way, however, at least for 99 days, he was living under the illusion that she was there, waiting for him.

Alfredo: Do as the soldier, Toto. Go away.

Cole Porter,

あと六週間。。

星を輝かせるために存在している闇。。

疲れますよ。

ある夏の夜、渋谷の Times Square で走っていました。

素直になって、幸せになるよ

笑ってね。

本当にお世話になりました。

obama’s nomination speech

“….Change is a foreign policy that doesn’t begin and end with a war that should’ve never been authorized and never been waged. I won’t stand here and pretend that there are many good options left in Iraq, but what’s not an option is leaving our troops in that country for the next hundred years – especially at a time when our military is overstretched, our nation is isolated, and nearly every other threat to America is being ignored.

We must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in - but start leaving we must. It’s time for Iraqis to take responsibility for their future. It’s time to rebuild our military and give our veterans the care they need and the benefits they deserve when they come home. It’s time to refocus our efforts on al Qaeda’s leadership and Afghanistan, and rally the world against the common threats of the 21st century – terrorism and nuclear weapons; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease. That’s what change is.

Change is realizing that meeting today’s threats requires not just our firepower, but the power of our diplomacy – tough, direct diplomacy where the President of the United States isn’t afraid to let any petty dictator know where America stands and what we stand for. We must once again have the courage and conviction to lead the free world. That is the legacy of Roosevelt, and Truman, and Kennedy. That’s what the American people want. That’s what change is.

…..America, this is our moment. This is our time. Our time to turn the page on the policies of the past. Our time to bring new energy and new ideas to the challenges we face. Our time to offer a new direction for the country we love.

The journey will be difficult. The road will be long. I face this challenge with profound humility, and knowledge of my own limitations. But I also face it with limitless faith in the capacity of the American people. Because if we are willing to work for it, and fight for it, and believe in it, then I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment – this was the time – when we came together to remake this great nation so that it may always reflect our very best selves, and our highest ideals.

Thank you, God Bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.”

Dominic you are right, it did send patriotic shivers down my spine.

Bon anniversaire mon ami.

生日快樂。

我們真的長大了。

流下了多少眼淚，我們還是熬過去了。

很想再此和你站在舞台上，記得黃城夜韻謝幕時哭得死去活來那副鬼樣子嗎？

１８歲的我們總愛哭。

在會所，在 playground，在 alvin 家，在我家，在 pigeon hole..

被冤枉的時候，Shiroi-noir 得冠軍的時候，失戀的時候，談心的時候，吵架 “xx扭扭烏節路“ 的時候。。

但是１８歲的我們，雖然沒錢，５０cents 一盤 canteen 的 nasi lemak 也吃得好開心。

在會所一群朋友彈 guitar 吃杯杯面 不睡覺聊一整夜。

好簡單的幸福。

從提著 snoopy bag 的你，

從頭髮也懶得梳的我。

Look at us now.

We are still here.

我還是喜歡唱，唱那首我們的歌。

“華初 我們的華初 華初 華初

兼負重任 百年樹人

我要唱一首黃城的歌 一首永遠的歌

唱出我們的光明前程

唱出華初的精神。。。“

¡HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIM PRAWN PRAWN!

爱，就是这样。

“Dearest Sharon

I wrote this thinking about you in a sunny afternoon of Automn, hoping you would accept the honor…

A.”

quoique tu ne crois pas en ce mot..

mais

Je t’aime mon chéri.

Je veux oublier mais je ne peux pas.

Je tu manque.

C’est comme ça.

I do.

The walks into the woods. Holding hands under the spring sunshine. Sitting on the fence avec legs swinging carelessly. Champagne in the terrace one saturday afternoon. Vin rose and apricot crepes. 3 dimensional tic-tac-toe. Ducks fly. Chambre 27.

“If i had to choose one moment to live within my heart it would be that tender moment. Recalling how we started.
Darling it would be when you smiled at me.”
That way that sunday that winter.

This is it
I know it
Love and cherish me
cos
I do
I do.

Hélas! We wake up from our dreams. And there is nothing nothing nothing but emptiness.
