just came back from fish leong's concert at the indoor stadium. till now all her hits are still ringing in my ears....wow...nice nice concert...although fancy dancesteps are definitely not found in this concert but it was compensented with all the heartbreaking, sentimental ballads....ohh...and also her costumes...there were a few sets during the concert...which looked good in her...and of cos...her singing was fantastic...didnt really like the segment where she sang those abit uptempo songs, cos it made her abit breathless...but when she belted out those ballads...wow...it was as good as listening to her played on a cd player...now thats what made the money worth on getting the tickets to the concert (although i did not pay for the tickets.hehee..)
the concert ended with the encore segment....and in this segment, she was bascially singing songs she had not prepared initally....so it was more of a bonus for all her fans and those who attended the concert.... i did not stay until the end of the concert for fear of getting caught in a jam should the concert end...overall, 2 thumbs up for fish leong!!

Please sort it out, fulham
Spurs 5 Fulham 1.....this is the scoreline i least expected. ok...managerless, away from home, at white heartlane...but definitely this score is totally unaccepted. Really hope the management can quickly sort it out, be it getting a new manager (and i mean asap!!), get quality players in....can't imagine spending over 20million pounds and get the team relegated....har....its nonsense!!! From the history of the league, the league position over the christmas period is probably the position the team will finish come the end of the season..., meaning my beloved fulham will get relegated! NONONONO!!!
hmm....over the xmas weekend, i got myself 2 of the "antique" cds which i have been looking for. hmm..as xmas gifts for myself? the 2 cds cost $150++...some ppl may call me siao lor....but i think its quite worth it de lor...been looking at the auction site for these cds..but mostly are very costly....so have to keep hunting for the best bargains....imagine the price for a cd can go as high as $200...wow....so anyone has chinese cds from the late 80s to 90s to sell?? am particuarly looking from cds from UFO taiwan....of cos sell me cheap cheap lah.... :P

translation....
Due to overwhelming requests, (heheeee..)decided to do a translation of the chinese essay from my previous post. it may not be 100% accurate...but i will try lor....
<> ---- Letter for child
When i become old and no longer the usual self,
please be understanding and be patience towards me.
When i accidentally spilled soup onto my clothings,
when i forget how to tie shoelaces,
please remeber how i used to teach you the way to do it, step by step.
When i keep repeating what i said over and over again,
please be patient, do not interrupt me.
Remeber when you were young, i used to repeat stories for you during your bedtime, till you enter into dreamland.
When i need help in shower, please do not scold me.
Remember the time when i used to hoax you to bathe when you were young?
When i'm clueless towards technology, please do not mock at me.
Remeber the time when you kept asking me "whys".
When i'm no longer strong enough to walk on my own,
please guide my steps with your strong hands.
Just like how i guided you when you took your first steps.
When i lose track of what our discussion will be, please give me time to recall.
To me, its not what we discussing, but more importanly, you are there to listen to me.
When the see me aged, please do not feel sad for me.
Understand me, Support me, just like what i did for you when you started learning.
I used to be the one who guided you the correct path of life,
but now, please guide me through till the end of my journey.
Give me your love and understanding, and i will be grateful to you.

《当我老了》——写给孩子的一封信
当我老了，不再是原来的我。
请理解我，对我有一点耐心。
当我把菜汤洒到自己的衣服上时，
当我忘记怎样系鞋带时，
请想一想当初我是如何手把手地教你。
当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻的话语，
请耐心地听我说，不要打断我。
你从小的时候，我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事，直到你进入梦乡。
当我需要你帮我洗澡时，请不要责备我。
还记得小时候我千方百计哄你洗澡的情形吗？
当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时，请不要嘲笑我。
想一想当初我怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。
当我由于双脚疲劳而无法行走时，请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我。
就像你小时候学习走路时，我扶你那样。
当我忽然忘记我们谈话的主题，请给我一些时间让我回想。
其实对我来说，谈论什么并不重要，只要你能在一旁听我说，我就很满足。
当你看着老去的我，请不要悲伤。
理解我，支持我，就像你刚开始学习如何生活时我对你那样。
当初我引导你走上人生的路，如今请陪我走完最后的路。
给我你的爱和耐心，我会报以感激的微笑。
这微笑中凝结着我对你无限的爱。

how many times have we taken our parents for granted? how many times are we pissed off with our parents over minor things? how many times are we being rude to them? how many times did we shout back at them? how many times we prefer to accompany our friends instead of them? how often we have meals with them?......these were the thoughts that came to my mind after listening to the article....
i am still far far away from being a perfect and filial child.....
