Moonbird

Yet another extremely late posting. Watched the Joyce Dunbar's Moonbird with Blossoms sometime in May. A very lovely play with simple and basic setup containing a mixture of voice, sign language and puppetry. The story is simple about the little Prince, Orla who lost his ability to hear earth sounds after a bubble blew by the Moonchild burst beside him. He acquired the ability to listen to sounds from the moon instead. His parents' (the King and the Queen) reluctance at first to accept for who Orla was and how they finally came in terms with it and communicate with Orla using sign and gestures.

A very heart-warming tale about parents' support for special kids. I was very overwhelmed after watching the show. A really lovely tale.

承诺

不能履行的承诺就不因该轻易许下。因那只会带来彼此更加的伤害和痛苦。。。

虽然我的人生比别人短暂，
但我不会怨恨
能见到你，相亲相爱的时光
拥有着那段美好的记忆的我
怎么会觉得冤枉呢？
一点都没有，
但是，后悔
铭刻在骨髓的后悔还是有
没能更爱着您
世界给我们设的圈套
没能亲手收起来
非常后悔
希望你不要因为我
流太多眼泪
不希望眼泪伴随着你
让我替你哭泣你的孤独吧
我现在要去能安心地看着你的世界了
我流下的眼泪
一定会保佑你的
我会一直祈祷
祈祷你以后的生活 不会那么福薄
过得幸福美满......

忘掉

忘掉就不会再想念。。。但有些事或人不说忘掉就能忘掉。。。

你也忘掉
我也忘掉
把残忍地对待我们的一切
都忘掉吧
忘掉一切 走吧

不要担心
我也会忘掉的
忘掉之后 不会再想念了
所以 还是走吧
不要把心留在这里
走吧

初恋

每天都想着你
追忆着过去
闭上眼睛轻呼你的名字，仿佛就在身旁
是你让我笑
还记得吗？凄美的
那个季节没有完成的我们的爱情

你看，我把思念绣在花瓣上
你看，在某个美丽的春天它会飘扬
那是无法忘记你而飘忽的我的心
你还记得吗？凄美的
那个季节里没有完成的我们的爱情

你看，我用眼泪在天空里作诗
你看，若在某个清凉的夏天里下雨
那是因为思念你而放声痛哭的我的心

别为我难过

你看，我的爱染红了叶瓣
你看，若在某个干涩的秋天叶子红了
那是因为思念你而受伤的我的心

你看，我把问好载在风里
你看，若在某个寒冷的冬天
那是在某个地方对你说的我很好的寒暄

Bo Go Ship Da (I Miss You) - 想你 <中文翻译>

无论等待多久
都无法再靠进你
象个傻瓜般哭泣在你的身旁
只能带给你伤痛的我
为何还要傻傻的等待
想念你…想念你……
痛恨我自己
想哭…你跪著求我
能忘掉所有的一切
在记忆中曾经那么疯狂的爱过你
尝试著用记忆寻找
再也不想用爱来绑住你
明知道不能这样
就像生不如死的折磨
想念你…想念你……
痛恨我自己
想哭…為了你好
我只有选择离开
在记忆中曾经那么疯狂的爱过你
尝试著用记忆寻找
再也不想用爱来绑住你
明知道不能这样
就像生不如死的折磨
直到身處天堂才有辦法遺忘

我根本离不开你呀
想念你…想念你……

只属于你

无法相信如果你不在身边
我仅有的就只剩下痛苦
那麼人生又有何意义
假如时光能够倒流
我绝不会让你离开
我们之间没有任何的约定
如果感情已淡
那该如何是我
我相信你了解我的一片痴心
随著时光的流逝
依然微笑著
我要向你忏悔告
解抹去一切的悲伤
在幸福的记忆里永远守护著在我心里的你
等待著动回我身旁

天国的阶梯

剧情开场白“说不定，那个人比我更爱着她，但是这不表示我对她的爱比他少…”

人们总是在寻找爱情，渴望像连续剧般那么刻骨铭心的爱情。希望像泰华哥对静书不需回报百分之百付出的感情，诚俊哥对静书不离不弃真执的爱情。 现实生活中或许没有和故事般浪漫的情结、不可思意的邂逅、童话般的白马王子与白雪公主；但现实生活中有的是那份踏踏实实、简简单单、完完全全属于你自己的爱情。只要真心付出、勇敢去爱、不计较结果如何，那就是一份最美好、最真执的恋情。就算失去也是一种美丽，一段曾经拥有。与一辈子从没真心爱过一个人的人，没拥有过的人相比，失去的人是幸福的，因为虽然失去了，但他曾经得到过，从而知道了真爱的滋味。

好好珍惜你的恋情…

Le Fantôme de l’Opéra

Buttercup went to watch Andrew Lloyd Webber's famous musical - The Phantom of the Opera and didn't really quite understand this lovely tale... my favourite love story... And so I thought I should blog about the Le Fantôme de l’Opéra here.

The Phantom of the Opera is a French novel by Gaston Leroux and I had read the translated version by Lowell Bair. I had also read another of Gaston Leroux's earliest work, The Mystery of the Little Yellow Room (translated). My curosity and interest for the Phantom of the Opera started when I first watched NBC's 1990 two-part television series starring Charles Dance and had been smitten to try find all possible information relating to the Phantom of the Opera. Till now, I had strong belief that this story was true and that Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, an eccentric, physically deformed genius who terrorizes the Opera Garnier in Paris, France. He builds his home beneath it and takes the love of his life, a beautiful soprano, Christine Daaé under his wing was true.

Though there is no supporting evidence to support the authentic of Leroux's story but the abduction of Christine Daaé, the disappearance of Viscount Raoul de Chagny, the death of Count Philippe, the crashing chandelier, the existence of the underground lake under Paris opera house and even the rumoured opera ghost did exist during the period. But the story might be beautified under Leurox's hands. The story evolved around the triangle love between Christine Daaé, her childhood sweet heart, Raoul and her music teacher cum Opera ghost, Erik.

The part that I was so much smitten with was the part of Christine's genuine sympathy and love for Erik. Though she had agreed to marry Erik to save Raoul and the Perisian instead of love but she had kept her promise to be his living wife. She displays her love for him by crying with him, not running away when he takes off his mask, and even kisses him on the forehead. This granted Erik a happiness he never thought possible. In despair, Erik releases Raoul and Christine and gives them his blessings to marry. He asks only that Christine come back after his death, and bury him with the ring he gave her.

"Oh, daroga, I felt her tears dropping onto my forehead - my forehead! They were warm, they were sweet, they flowed everywhere under my mask. Her tears! They mingled with my own tears in my eyes, they even flowed into my mouth... Ah, her tears, on me! .... ..... We cried together! God in heaven, you gave me all the happiness in the world!"

True love forgives and accepts and sets free... such a lovely story.. *heart melts*

Me to You

The oldest, smallest house you can imagine was about to be knocked down. All the things that once made the house nice and cosy had been thrown outside and piled up in the front garden, from the soft springy bed the owners slept in, to the old wooden floorboards they used to walk on

…and even, surely by some mistake, a little brown teddy bear.

He was trapped amongst all the other unwanted things, and couldn't move.

Then, one day…a very cold day, something fell from the sky…

…a little snowflake

It landed on the teddy bear's little nose and then was followed by many more. He began to get cold, very cold indeed. More and more snow fell, heavier and heavier. The little bear was now so cold that his nose started turning blue…so cold that his brown fur started turning grey.

He was cold, unloved and all alone in the world, and felt very, very sad.

Winter finally passed and the weather got warmer.

One beautiful spring day, a little girl was playing near the old house, when she spotted the grey bear in the pile of unwanted things. He was like no other bear she had ever seen and she pulled him out from where he was trapped.

She dusted him down and lifted him high in the sky to look at him.

"A grey teddy bear…with a blue nose?" she thought. "How strange!"

The teddy bear wanted to cry. He thought she didn't like him and would throw him back with the other unwanted things.

"But he's lovely!" she continued and she fell completely in love with him.

She ran home as fast as her little legs would carry her, to see if her Grandma could patch him up as a lot of his stuffing had fallen out, and he was very much in need of repair.

She looked on as her Grandma replaced his stuffing and patched up his holes.

His stitches had started showing where the fur had worn away, but the little girl thought he looked perfect.

It was all cosy and warm in the little girl's house and the bear felt all cosy and warm in his heart. However, his nose was still blue and his fur was still grey, and they would never return to brown.

He was unique among teddy bears.

The little girl gave him a great big hug. She loved him more than anything else in the world…her little grey, blue-nosed…

…tatty teddy.
