i guess it was bad timing

下著雨讓濕氣稀釋回憶　我靠著你不出聲音
看著你看著斑駁的甜蜜　愛你困住你也困住我自己

我那躲也躲不掉的微妙傷口　隱隱作痛
你那戒也戒不掉的甜蜜藉口　也讓我精神腐朽

說你愛我　變成一種問候
不如趁早放手　把愛墜落讓滿地鮮紅
說你愛我　變成一種折磨
不用陪我走到最後　我承擔不起你的承諾

I wish you could have said no that night, or shouldn't have asked her at all.
As much as I want to cry and just hold you tight in my arms, I have to suck it up and know that there is no turning back.
I really thought you were someone who I can always turn to and share moments with;
however, I wish I can just take everything back now.

Was I too naive to see it coming and slap me in the face? Was I too optimistic, thinking that everything was going to work out and that our feelings for each other will never be hindered or stopped by either of our choices?


I guess I was wrong. Though, I wish I wasn't.

sing when you're sad

What you can do with beans.

Green bean cakes (綠豆糕) is one of the many "souvenirs" in Taiwan that I would be happy to bring back home. Smooth and sweet, these little molded pieces of pastries are filled with red bean paste that are found in almost any bakery in Taipei. I guess you can say they taste similar to peanut butter since it makes me thirsty every time I take a bite out of it.

Foods like these just reminds me of the good ol' days when I went to Taiwan for about two weeks with my family. It's really strange, the moment we landed on the new Taipei airport platform, I could just feel that I was in Taiwan. I couldn't feel that when I landed on Hong Kong or Shanghai, only Taiwan. Staying in Taiwan made me feel like I was home, even though I was not natively born here. The atmosphere, the people, and just the nightlife in Taiwan made me feel like I belonged there. Well, obviously. Like I mentioned in my previous post, I do feel like the oddball in the family because I only seem to adulate Taiwanese pop and Taiwan's culture.

I think the greatest thing about Taiwan and China is knowing where the people come from. With hundreds of different dialects, saying one is Chinese doesn't define his or her ethnic background. In a way, each province is similar to a "country," each having their own unique culture and aspects of life. For example, my father's side came from 河南 (Henan) , which is near the Yellow River, and 南京 (Nanjing) while my mother's side came from both 上海 (Shanghai) and 四川 (Szechwan). So aside from just coming from Taiwan, another history unveils itself!

王力宏 - 星期六的深夜

星期六晚上 那兒都不想去 也無法入睡
看著電視機 持續在發呆 喝了七分醉
閉上了眼睛 試著不想你 但已來不及
忘了如何讓眼淚 停止流下
還好沒人看見(到) 沒人會說話

星期六深夜 我想起了你
沒什麼特別 只是回憶
你讓我自由 我很感激
星期六深夜 喔～
永遠不會有任何人 能代替你

這就是遺憾的滋味 陪著我形影不離
明天我會面帶微笑 但無法忘記你

讓我自由 我很感激
星期六 喔～Yeah

永遠不會有任何人 能代替你
