what a way to kick off the new year
NEMURENAI YO (they don't sleep)
this is one of the verse of nakashima mika's song glamourous sky. technically it isnt mika's, but nana's. or more specifically, nana osaki's. confused? ok NANA is basically this manga about two girls, nana osaki and nana komatsu. it has been made into a movie starring nakashima as osaki and aoi miyazaki as komatsu. and osaki nana is a rockstar-wannabe. i watched the performance of this song glamourous sky in the movie. IT WAS SUPERB. and this part nemurenai yo IS SO GOOD! it was so packed with emotion, there was this sheer belief, sheer conviction in it. it just explodes within you.
AYA UETO
i am currently still downloading the music station live. but i managed to get the clip of aya uetos performance first. she sang yume no chikara(power of dreams). so sometimes i am found staring at the screen. like in a trance. well, shes aya ueto after all. SOOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE THAT YOU CAN PINCH! i like this song alot. the lyrics are meaningful and the song is explosive. its abt not giving up, wanting to make dreams come true, wanting to have value in ur life. akirame nai= never give up.
and did i mention that aya is so elegant in that white dress?????
thats what i call "style me to death"
pearlyn said aya din take part in kouhaku. the red team(ladies) lost. NO WONDER
About growing up
what does it mean to grow up? recently, i started thinking about it.
is it about paying adult fare?(ok it really hurts. more on that later)
is it doing adult stuff? like indulge in smoking, alcohol, sex. does clubbing make you more adult? is clubbing the adult way of having fun? the only way? is knowing how to havoc the only way to have fun? what does "having a life" mean?
i can't hold back anymore. i must say what i think and close it once and for all.
first of all, i don't believe that i grow up because i club( i don't, incidentally. but its more because i don't want to show my weakness, that i cant dance for nuts, rahter than cause i hate it or wad.) but ja, even if i can dance like shi wei, i still wun think i am more adult jsut because i club.
growing up is not about that.
growing up is about knowing yourself. what you want to do with your life. no doubt if u believe you want to club all ur nights away, go ahead. tts ur choice. tts ur way of growing up. but it isnt the only way.
was talking to weijun. he clubs, and he said its overrated. no doubt u see more pple there, u can learn something of the world outside via it. but tts if u talk to them or observe them lar. which i believe you can do elsewhere too.
last december i was busy with the interviews for edb. i met alot of pple. i felt that i have become more confident of myself after the whole thing. and i think thats growing up. and i talked to adults, working adults, heard what they have to say, and i think i learnt something from there. thats growing up.
i dun see wad the fuss is about clubbing, havocing and growing up. went to teh countdown, pple were spraying each other. there was this group of youngsters who literally attacked a foreign worker, pounced on him, hit his head with the can and sprayedhim. thats havoc, if u ask me. and u tell me they are grown up? thats not even a mature way of having fun, if u ask me.
so whats a mature way of having fun? indulge in sex? alcohol? u gotta be kidding.
i drink alot, relative to my age. its something not many pple know about. i collect beer cans which are nicely designed. and i do have quite abit. and i am proud of that. but does drinking make me more adult? i dont think so. what makes me feel grown up, is the interaction i have wif pple, is what i learn about myself and the world around me through such interaction and observation. thats growin up. someone who drinks himself drunk. u call that grown up? even though i drink alot, i noe wads called control. not jsut cos i am sensible, but ebcause my grandfather died of some liver stuff. he was a heavy drinker. so i know i wun abuse my body in that way. btw i will still drink cos i like beer(not all) and japanese sake. its my absolute fave. but so ex...
u dun grow up just because you dance. u dun grow up just because you drink. u dun grow up just because u make out. i dunno wads an adult way of having fun( it differs from person to person). but i can tell u even if u noe how to have fun in an adult way but outside that u behave like a kid. u r still a kid. i went back for the np camp, and tm sir was saying: sometimes we talk to the ncos, cadets and tell them where they are wrong, but we neglect considering: they are what, 15? 16? can we expect them to know what we know at 18, 24, or 30?
it left me thinking. it is those experiences in life that we have, that make us grown up. having fun is maybe just one aspect.
PEOPLE, grow up. think. think of the big picture. focus on the crux of the issue.
in our hurry to grow up, let's not lose ourselves in the chaos of the adult world.
and adult fare is very pricey. as me wj and pradeep and junyi found out yest, while going home from yeelengs. ouch! but thats what it is.
by the way
i am leaving. talked to van, wj. lets not kid ourselves anymore. that was a farewell gift.
goodbye
