幸福只是水中的倒影

熱帶雨林-S.H.E
作曲-周杰倫 填詞-方文山 (*u* the most awesome pair ever)

冷风过境回忆冻结成冰
我的付出全都要不到回音
悔恨就像是绵延不断的丘陵
痛苦全方位的降临

悲伤入侵誓言下落不明
我找不到那些爱过的曾经
你像在寂寞上空盘旋的秃鹰
将我想你啃食干净

月色摇晃树影 穿梭在热带雨林
你离去的原因 从来不说明
你的话伤神经 我最后才清醒
幸福只是水中的倒影

月色摇晃树影 穿梭在热带雨林
悲伤的雨不停 全身血淋淋
那深陷在沼泽 我不堪的爱情
是我无能为力的伤心

pandarific

It wouldn't be a trip back to China if I didn't go see the oh-so-lovable pandas *u*








However, the weather that day wasn't all that nice, so all the pandas were just lazing around.

As I walked around, I came across many other animals:

This fish pond is outright scary.
Some kid beside me actually managed to grab one of the fishes, mmm.



Some foreign people was playing with this snail on the fence to the panda's area. This was one of the better dsrl pictures that day, hurray for shallow field of depth!


Lastly, as I was about to leave, I noticed this pair of peacocks resting from the rain underneath a tree. Cyuuuuute!

ripppptide

sunset @ wild beast in wonderland at around 9pm.
The colours were GORGEOUS in real life, such a rich shade of magenta *u* Unfortunately, because any sane person wouldn't bring an slr (cough cough) to wonderland, my crappy cell phone cam washed the colours out.

Due to Helen's "we must go to wonderland with everyone this year!" request, I set off to Roy's house with 5 hours of sleep at 8:30am. After sitting in an overloaded car for half an hour, we arrived! We paired off at the entrance, janice and mimi with their slightly overpriced tickets, grace and helen with their season passes, alex and I with our 2010 passes which comes with a free 09 admission and tony and roy who has to buy theirs on site.

Once we got in, we headed straight for topgun, which "has the crappiest lines". Luckily we were the second ones in line, unluckily they had to run test runs for 15mins. Then it was time warp, and behemoth! *u* The 79degrees drop never gets old.

Right after behemoth, Lisa and Amanda came. It was their first and last time at wonderland, so we just went around the park going on all the coasters with a relatively short line. We went on: riptide (bad, bad choice. it got soooo cold right after), vortex, wild beast, orbiter, shockwave, and thunder run.

By then it got pretty dark and my legs were tofu-like after waiting in hour long lines for the entire day, so we exited and headed towards the go bus stop. Too bad for me, there was a line to get on the bus too. Finally the bus came and I happily went home.

小猪猪&小狗狗

I'd like to feature an awesomely awesome friend of mine: Lolo (blah pinyin will have to do.)

Since our parents were friends since university, I've known her literally since she was born. We've had our secret language, secret base, pretending to be spies and figuring out who was writing on the walls of our apartment complex.

So when I went to visit her this summer, we went to eat good ol' hotpot *u*


oh yeeeeeeahhhh.
you've not been fully alive unless you've eaten this.

Apparently 蜀九香 is one of ChengDu's best hotpot restaurants, though my first impression of it was: "woah the pots are pretty!"


At first it wasn't all that spicy, my tongue and throat only started to burn a few hours after lunch.


Top to bottom: potatoes, winter melon, lotus root, tofu skin, mushroom, some sort of internal organ of a pig... and empty plates >D


My very terrible attempt at light graffiti on my way home from her house. It'd turn out a lot better if I had manual shutter adjustment.

曾经温暖鲜艳过的画面

沉默着走了有多遥远
抬起头蓦然间才发现
一直倒退倒退到原点
倔强坚持对抗时间

说好了的永远断了线
期许了不变的却都已改变
紧闭双眼才能看的见
那些曾经温暖鲜艳过的画面

渐渐地忘记赶不上明天
只要用力地抓紧了想念
明天再也没有你的笑脸

渐渐地忘记忘记了时间
我只要沿着记忆的路线
到最深处纵然那只是瞬间

当眼泪滑落的是句点
心里面始终你从没有走远
耳边誓言还在回旋
我会好好珍惜没有你的明天

渐渐地忘记赶不上明天
只要用力地抓紧了想念
明天再也没有你的笑脸

渐渐地忘记忘记了时间
我只要沿着记忆的路线
到最深处纵然那只是瞬间

渐渐地忘记忘记了时间
我只要沿着记忆的路线
到最深处纵然那只是瞬间
