Be a Star!
我的心真的受伤了 - 张学友
窗外阴天了音乐低声了
我的心开始想你了
灯光也暗了音乐低声了
口中的棉花糖也融化了
窗外阴天了人是无聊了
我的心开始想你了
电话响起了你要说话了
还以为你心里对我又想念了
怎麽你声音变得冷淡了
是你变了是你变了
灯光熄灭了音乐静止了
滴下的眼泪已停不住了
天下起雨了人是不快乐
我的心真的受伤了
"It doesn’t matter how you win a singing competition. So long if you’ve won, you’ve won."
It was one of the phrases that one of the Superstar judges love to say. First time anyone made me cry with his or her singing [amongst people I personally know].

Went to watch RED EYE with my mum. The plot is a pretty short one, but it captured the audience’s attention. We had our butts sat at the edge of the seats all the time.
It’s like most of the movie-goers would mutter "urgh, kuai dian, kuai dian!!" and later yell out a soft "YES!!" when the female lead managed to get away from the bad guy’s clutches in the nick of the time. Hehe..
When I scrutinised the registration form at dinner, I realised the closing date for registration for PartyWorld’s Be a Star was 31st Aug. Someone lied to me!! But perhaps it was a misunderstanding, but I should have known better than to trust a guy who loves to play pranks on people. Sigh.
It’s no big deal to most people, but it is one serious thing to me. The feeling is like one having to format his or her computer with all the pictures, documents, etc not backed-up yet.
Regina: It’s like you missed the registration to a ballet musical play overseas because your flight was delayed.
Di: It’s like you submitted your art piece one day late and you didn’t have the chance to have it appear in an art gallery.
Ivan: It’s like you not being able to take part in a dancing competition because it falls on the same day as your enlistment.
The only time my self-confidence increased, was when I sang on stage. In 2004, I joined Talentime for the second time in poly. A stranger came up to me 2 days after I had my turn to sing. She asked, "you sang in Talentime on Wednesday right? You sang very well!!"
Have you noticed how some young dancers look so kiddy with their body language and posture, but when they dance, it’s so professional? It’s that kind of feeling.
You cannot imagine my disappointment for not being able to take part. I’d rather they kick me out after one round, than to be late for registration. Sigh.
Teared before my movie started. Not because I wasn’t able to partake, but due to the disappointment being built up one after another.
Words can bring me down, especially yours.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken:
The crownless again shall be king.
The Lord of the Rings (1956)

Discovered this literary writing when I tried to Google for the phrase "All that glisters is not gold" from Merchant of Venice.
I still remember that poem, after 9 years? Heh.
