A Week of "Difference"

Keeping this a short post...as I am badly staying up late in the middle of the night AGAIN!!! But I just really really wanted to document about this week, as it is a really really worthwhile to make a 'mark' for this week and rubberstamp the date!

You see it's another one of those really funny things in life. When people say "What a week of difference made", I can really feel it REALLY HAPPENING for me this week. It's kindda feel like a roller coaster ride that you normally expects to happen within a month of time...but it happened to me within a week! : O

Not going to give the details here (for fear of the impact it 'may' make...haha don't want to jinx it). But I can still remember clearly on Monday, the start of the week, when i was still feeling all blue & grey. Especially when I got asked the dreaded question...I was lost in my answer and reasoning.

Middle of the week....still doing what I can......as that's the only part that is within my control. Also had some really nice friends helping me along the way!!! And then suddenly.....'a remarkable' breakthrough! : O And then 'another breakthrough' towards the end of the week!!! I couldn't believe my luck at all! (although all good things take cost...but I was very very lucky that I was able to handle it and it all went through smoothly!)

By the end of the week, I can finally see a small opening through the grey sky that I saw at the beginning of the week! : ) A feeling of small relive! I won't be totally relived until it's all finalized and confirmed tho! But at least....things are progressing and can see it going somewhere! Yay! I'll definitely take this as my 4 years anniversary in the working-life present (which was on Sat, end of the week)! : )

Another contrasting thing within the week that I experienced was that at the beginning of the week, I sadly farewelled a visiting friend off in a dinner. At the end of the week, I was welcoming another visiting friend of mine warmly and happily in a dinner. haha incidentally both dinners were on the same part of the street, very close to one another.

So I don't know...is it what 'a week of difference' made OR is it 'a week of Differences' i.e. a week filled with differences...differences of emotions and feelings and moods and events. haha I shall let u decide. Meanwhile, trying not to dwell on it too much >o< but really hoping hard the progress will continue, moving on!!! I really really hope so....!

歌曲分享: 港九情

Really wanted to write my 2010 New Years resolution...but given the time...I shall embark on it next time (but in the near future) and do a quickie here instead.

This time I would like to share a song that somehow...all of a sudden I feel quite 'related to' while I was driving on the road last Sunday.

The song '港九情' by 張繼聰 wasn't actually my favourite song in the album nor captured me too much at all from his "B.C." album (unlike 永和號 or 這一秒). I actually enjoyed this album of his quite a lot. Has its own flavour, where it was themed around nostalgic in H.K. The songs are not bad and quite unique (at least more unique than a lot of the HK commercial K songs out there nowadays).

However it was not until when my 'Little Black" (my loyal 1st Gen Nano) decided to randomly play this song on Sunday...that I was suddenly captivated by the lyrics. The lyrics is not very complicated at all. But just that I kind of suddenly 'clicked' and found the lyrics to be quite suitable / well fitted for people with friends / loves ones overseas in another country. And of course definitely MORE well fitting for me as it mentioned about the 'features' of H.K. (that a lot of people might have taken for granted).

See if you can related to it too... : ) Enjoy!
張繼聰 - 港九情
作曲:張繼聰     填詞:小克     編曲:Goro Wong     監製:林健華

世界變化太大 想與你傾訴
隔了這片海岸 難於親身報告
Oh~風裡 打訊號 求你收得到
何以沒暗示掛念這 港島

你 這知心侶伴 已被半島接管

I know you wanna stay, but everyone will go away
那 陌生的遠地 仰望滿天飛機 維園可會念記
...

在那個年歲 尚欠缺紅隧 唯有天星進退
年光似水 蒸發於 港九相接的人堆

...

你 這畢生友伴 告別似飛鳥般
I really wanna stay, those happy time will fade away
我 在心中聖地 暗悼往昔依稀茶餐廳聽候你 獨個地
(Full lyrics can be found here)

Here's the MV for the song:
