A note from Budapest...

can't believe it was a yr since the last time i visited Budapest - last time i was really excited to go all over the place - but not this time anymore la - i mean, the weather is nice, i've like a whole afternoon (after biz meeting)... but then, for some reason i just don't wanna go around like last time...

oh well, it's okay i guess :P

over the wkend baby went to ah ca's 讀書會, too bad that i couldn't make it. Oh well, hope for next time la~~~ and it's so weird that we've been talking to ah ca for the last 10 yrs (so old man!)... mixed feeling - she was single (and so was baby) back then... and now both of them are MARRIED, and (both of them) with TWO kids...

also got vick's email for her wedding date... she has announced this like a while back, i just need to fix up my itinerary (ha, really need to CONFIRM it!)... so she's getting marry...

which reminds me another friend from Taiwan i know from Purdue.... over the yrs he got married with a HKese girl, and now with a kid (can't remember it's a son or girl?!)

listening to this song from last Miriam CD - one of my friends said that she can't find this in k (as she wanna sing it)... i think there's not much "music" behind, but the way miriam sing it (like telling a tale) is so... "my cup of tea"... I think it can also came from a guy's point of view (the gender can be vice versa) - and even though not everyone like her can achieve to be the TOP in her career - indeed it's kinda sad - not only to herself, but i think it's also sad for the guy...

她成功了他沒有

歌手:楊千嬅 | 作曲:Jean Chien
填詞:林夕 | 編曲:C Y Kong

他跟女友相愛 彼此也都知道
走進教堂彷似很遠路
他跟女友相約 假使理想找到
彼此再想婚禮實太好

跨出社會旅途 一起要為兩毫
加班加到嘔吐 不想拖到衰老
彼此理想一致 積蓄也都消耗
開一間唱片舖 也 總算是自豪

這間唱片小店 他跟女友一半
聽得再多歌也不會悶
開張顧客擠滿 不久惹起不滿
因他賣買的全是冷門

他的計劃滿盤 打開市道窄門
積蓄花去一半 彼此爭拗批判
股份各佔一半 他的女友想退
出去再去工作沒成本

這個故事發展 講他跟她不免
彷似世上情人講遍世上甜言
可惜經過試煉 不惜撕破了臉
為了錢 手裡沒餘錢

只恐很快情變 即使天生一對
只願睡完明天可再見
可惜他已發現 只得他那理想不變

他的顧客少到 心底未免感慨
堅守理想令錢袋有害
他的女友跑去 參加唱歌比賽
得到冠軍在承受喝彩

他都看著發呆 他不太擅理財
終於將唱片店忍心關閉不愛
找不愛的工作 跟他女友的愛
竟因理想不再枉過十餘載

他工作為兩餐 他分開的一半
早已照耀樂壇深怕有日被彈
星光不再燦爛 忠心觀眾發難
就似每晚過關就似永遠上班

跟他不再往還 只因所有愛情
可使一個偶像不養眼
想得到真愛更難 只想觀眾永久不散

他早已婚不再跟這女友相愛
青春理想失去不意外
他聽女友演唱 少不免有感慨
他早變了觀眾在喝彩

即使再沒往來 他的眼淚快來
一生彷似比賽 彼此找到所愛
拒絕平淡未來 他的女友偏愛
孤身隻影飛上天際摘雲彩

這個故事原本想講天生一對
彷似童話可愛
他得到髮妻的愛
他的女友偏卻得到理想失去愛

But then, what's 理想 afterall? Do we really have one these days? how can we plan w/ the "other half" - when we don't know what exactly we want (one self)?
