Starry Starry Night...
Vincent... Vincent Van Gogh...one of your favourite painters.
"The Starry Night", which is also the starting line in the song "Vincent", is considered by most as his magnum opus.
Don Maclean wrote this song as a tribute to the Dutch post-impressionist painter. You like this song.. this is for you, my dear, in this starry, starry night.
Starry, starry night
Paint your pallet blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the winter chills in colors on the snowy, linen land
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
They would not listen - they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
They would not listen - they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now
For they could not love you - but still your love was true
And, when no hope was left inside on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn, a bloody rose - lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
They would not listen - they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will

端午节
又是吃粽子的时候了，买了你喜欢吃的粽子。这次可不是娘惹粽，而是斋粽。
还记得我们有时到芳林熟食中心吃饭时，一看到粽子，就会买一个来分享。吃完后就常常会后悔，因为吃得太饱。我们俩就是那么贪吃，经不起诱惑！
老婆端午节快乐!

躲猫猫
昨晚，我打包了鸡翅，薯片和汽水到了国威家看世界杯，阿根廷对垒尼日利亚的一场球赛。到了上半场休息时间，国威转了转台，转到了吴忠宪主持的躲猫猫游戏。刚好看到陈奕迅把奖金献给一个成功掩盖了几个疑点的家庭。
看着看着，我回忆起一天你跟我玩躲猫猫的情形。当时我们住在宽敞的学生宿舍，有三个房间，两个厕所，厨房和晒衣阳台。应该有很多角落躲起来吧！
当晚，我下班回家，在门外看到了你的鞋子，以为你已经到家了。一开门，叫了叫你的明字，“慧琳呀，老公回来了！”。
奇怪，叫了老半天总是没回声？我找了找，到每个房间，厨房，厕所去，就是找不到。
因该是找学生聊天去了吧！我心想。我也不以为意，换了衣服就到客厅看电视节目。过了一会儿，你忽然气冲冲地在我前面出现，吓了我一跳。
“喂，你不是出去了吗？怎么会从房里出来的”我莫名其妙地问道。
“哇，老婆不见了，你也不紧张呀！不会去仔细地去找，是不是？真没用！”你追问着。
“有呀，你没听到我一到家就叫你嘞，还一边找，一边叫你呢！你究竟躲在哪里呀”我打趣地问道。
这时，你脸上带着沾沾自喜的微笑，以胜利的语气道“哈哈，秘密，不告诉你！你仔细想想吧！”
我心想，总有一天我会报一箭之仇的！老婆，躲猫猫是吗？我也会！
老婆呀，老婆，你真可爱！
Crying in the Rain
Hey Dear, today I visited Vivian, your favourite hairdresser at Jean Yip Vivocity to cut my hair, really short this time. Remember.. you specially bought her Roche chocolate while we were shopping for Christmas pressies at Vivocity last Christmas?
When I talked to her about you, she teared. She remembered you as a cheerful personality. You never complain about your work as a teacher and she remembers the sparkles in your eyes when you talked about your students and of course, me. Thanks to the lasting impressions you left in so many people around you, she remembers, ever so fondly, of your smiles, encouraging words and positive outlook in life.
She told me things that I'd otherwise never get to know. She tells me that you'd patiently wait for me to get off work to meet you at Vivocity; wilding your time away window shopping, reading at cafes, not wanting to rush me away from work. You'd share your worries about me having to work late and not getting enough sleep often. You sign up the treatment package with Jean Yip after making sure that I can also share the package with you in treating my scalp problems... etc etc.
As I drove home, it was raining.. as much as I want to control, I erupted again.. this time round, luckily again, in the sanctum of my car. I switched to the usual album which I always play over and over again in my car and selected the song which most represents my feeling at that point in time.. Crying in the Rain by Aha.
I'll never let you see, the way my broken heart is hurting me. I got my pride and I know how to hide, all my sorrows and pain, I'll do my crying in the rain.
Of course, not as dramatic as the song goes, I did not stop the car and step out of it, to drown my sorrows and tears in the heavy rain. What I needed to do most then was to rush back home and do my crying in the shower instead. Don't laugh at me again, I'm a cry baby, all thanks to you! You take care:)
======================================================
I'll never let you see
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I've got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I'll do my crying in the rain
If I wait for stormy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know that I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain
Raindrops falling from heaven
Could never take away my misery
But since we're not together
I pray for stormy weather
To hide these tears I hope you'll never see
Someday when my crying's done
I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun
I may be a fool
But till then, darling, you'll never see me complain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain
I'll do my crying in the rain

Somebody
Depeche Mode.. my all time favourite British Band. It flourished in the 80s and early 90s, winning legions of young fans, including me. As I grow older, I still hear their songs being played over the radio, albeit not too often. But one place you'd most probably get to hear their songs being belted out on a weekly basis is.. Zouk on Weds.. (no prize for guessing it right).
More popular songs like "Strange Love", "Just can't get enough" are evergreen retro songs that will never DIE!
Other than their wildly popular discography songs, is this one sentimental song which I love most....Somebody.
My dear, tonight I dedicate this song to you.
Quoting from the lyrics:
I thought I had found somebody who I can share the rest of my life with. Somebody who share my innermost thoughts, know my intimate details.
I had indeed found somebody who cares for me passionately, with every thought and with every breath. Someone who'll help me see things, in a different light.
You know, my dear... deep down inside my heart, that somebody lives on forever... And tonight, I wish "that somebody" would put her arms around me and kiss me tenderly...
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When i want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things i detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when i'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....

World Cup - Aussie, YEAH!
It's World Cup Season. This World Cup is different in many aspects to me personally as compared to the previous ones.
For one, we've to pay a bomb to either Starhub or Singtel to watch every match, which I refuse to pay. In those days, we'd watch them with no additional charges via our regular starhub subscription.
Anyways, this time round, World Cup has lost its usual appeal to me. Somehow, while watching this year's games at friends' places, I would drift off.. recalling those previous World Cups with you watching together with me, complete with coke, chips.
You'd gasp and sigh with me when the team that we support, misses. Cheer when our team scores. I really miss those moments of ups and downs with you.
This year, I know which team you'd support. It must be Australia. The country which you spent a couple of years studying for your Masters.
A country which you'd spent some of your happiest days, making new friends from all over the world, travelling to some of the most beautiful places on Earth and also as you'd always boasted, when you were the slimmest! I remember when Guowei and Caiyi visited you, they nearly cannot recognise you in your slim outfit!
You'd always tell me how strong the sporting culture is to the Aussies. You'd jokingly tell me that most Aussies would remember their sports teams' anthem rather than their own national anthem!
This year, I will support Australia with you, starting with their first game with Germany tonight. Aussie, Aussie Go Go Go!
