changeWell. So I finally come down to changing the blogskin. Not as comfortable with this one. All my old posts are gone. Sob. Well. Don't have to keep looking back to the past yes. So it doesn't matter anyway. My computer got virus-ed. And I have to fix it. Argh.
This feels weird. I never create posts. I always change the template. It's more direct. I feel. Change is the only constant, to quote a very famous person. Yes. Part 2 of the poem.
Was steht Leben für?
Der Mord, und Hass, und die Feindseligkeit,
Immer Präsens.
Aber, die Liebe, und Hoffnung, und das Glück,
Nie verloren.
Was möchtest Lebens?
Nur die Freiheit in Seligkeit
Zu leben.
Nur die Freiheit in Ruhe
Sterden.
I wanted to speak of a journey of a thousand miles, but I feel the mood is not right today. Perhaps some other time in the near future. That's odd. 'Near' is redundant. The future is always nearing and coming and looming.
I'm really not used to this create post thing. But I'm too lazy to go back to the template thing. I musn't be lazy but I can't help it.
Oh my word. There has been a commotion outside my house. This bird that looks like a cross between an eagle and an owl was chased around the neighbourhood by a murder of crows. What in the world. Reminds me of disrupted order and death. Is this an omen? Possibly. Very high possibilities of that.
On the other hand, there is life abrewing. Two sunbirds made a nest in the old pomegranate tree in the garden. Plus, the eggs have been laid already! The birds are tiny. Look more like hummingbirds than sunbirds.
School's opening again soon. Study hard everyone. Especially myself. I'm not studying enough. If anyone sees me slacking, make me study. I have no sense of self-control. Can anyone detest studying as much as I do?
Possibly not.

deutschAn wem denkst du? Deiner Freund? Keine Möglichkeit. Ich kenne dass du keine Freund haben. Das war richtig. An wem denn? Ich will das kennen. Ich habe viele Mittel und Wege zu das können. Was passiert mit dir? Ich weiß nicht. Dieser Aufsatz ist sehr schwierig zu schreiben. Ich will nicht mehr in Deutsch schreiben.
German is tough. Can't even right a proper essay. Dictionary must be on hand at all times. Sheesh.
Was vertretet Leben?
Nur ein Flitzen in das Lebenszeit
Von der Ewigkeit.
Einer kleiner Fleck in des weiter
Das Weltall.
Was bedeutet Leben?
Nicht leichter gewonnen, aber schneller
Weggewerf.
Eine Hetze von der Bewegung dass
Verschwindennen.
Part one done finally. Part two coming soon. Watch this space.

musikI like to think of my life in terms of music. If you've read Fever Pitch (which I believe none of you have) you will know that Nick Hornby thinks of his life in terms of Arsenal matches. Well, I think of mine in terms of music and artists.
When I was a mere toddler, I was a huge fan of Madonna, Gloria Estefan and Grasshopper(Cao Meng in chinese). Madonna's songs had much more meaning than they do now of course. That's why I'll always be a huge fan of Madonna. Who cares about whatever scandals that appear in the newspapers. To me, she's still that lady with the powerful voice I knew in my childhood. I have no idea why I started liking Grasshopper, but even now when I listen to their songs, I will sing along. Or at least hum along.
That was the toddler part. When I was a child, in the early parts of primary school, I started on Spice Girls and Backstreet Boys. They were the rage back then. I still have their CDs. Pretty dusty though. Back then, I knew nothing of R&B and I thank my parents for it. Phew. I never liked R&B. Except for some exceptions.
And then, in my upper primary years, I started on classicals. I had no idea I would start listening to classicals forever after that. The CD was on offer. I looked at the cover and saw 2 or 3 familiar songs. Forced my mum to buy it. Well, actually she
was quite obliging. Classicals have always been in the family. So it started. No matter what other genre may overcome me, classicals would always be at the back somewhere and refusing to budge. I'm quite happy with that arrangement.
Then came secondary school life. Where I was introduced to this marvelous thing called the radio. I learnt of things called hiphop and rap and rock
and what have you. I was fascinated. I threw away classicals(or so I thought). Evanescence, Linkin Park(that came a little later), Simple Plan(in the latest stages of primary six), Black Eyed Peas. Of no particular genre, I observe. I see hiphop, rock, metal and punk. Hmm. What was I thinking. Back then, my phone was old and had never heard of bluetooth, but in upper sec, all that changed.
Phones played a big part in my musical life too as I observe. Got my first phone in the later parts of upper primary where I started taking control of my own music. The others were more or less weaned on me. 2nd phone in sec 1. 3rd and current phone in sec 2 or 3. Can't remember. Well. So in late Sec 2, I started listening to well, more or less classicals again, but a new breed. Band music.
Things like the Merry Widow, Ross Roy, etc etc. This was due to a marvelous thing called BlueTooth. Got songs transferred here and there in the blink of an eye. So I could listen to a whole bevy of band songs all the time. Wonderful invention. Those were the best times. Band songs and classicals are the easiest songs to listen to. No lyrics, profanities, heavy bass beats that make your
ears throb.
This year and about half of last year was basically a whirl of songs and artists. I was introduced to MCR. And 987 took over 924 and 963. A blaze of songs and artists. But then. In a magical twist of fate, I was drawn back to instrumentals. Anime music! Blast it. I can't unplug my ears from it. Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's, Ranma, Chronicle of the Wings, Chobits, too many to name. Anime music, somehow they are appropriate. Sometimes melancholy, often light-hearted, seldom explosive. Sehr perfekt, weil es kann meinen ganzen Leben beschreiben.
I don't know what I wrote these for. Felt like reassuring myself of my musical history for once. Ha. What a joke. Description of music is simply immaterial.
