Gray's Anatomy, short for Henry Gray's Anatomy of the Human Body, is an anatomy textbook widely used by medicine students. It also inspired my all time favourite tv show - Grey's anatomy. The sitcom revolves around a bunch of surgical interns in Seattle Grace Hospital. I know the whole hospital-themed thing sounds corny but what makes it "da bomb" is the talented script writers (erm, also the actors/actresses..) If you pay enough attention to the details, you will notice every episode comes with a theme// life issue that almost everyone can relate to. Every episode practices the kichoutenketsu principle in chinese literature - it begins with an introduction, follows by a further development and a climax, then a conclusion. Under such principle the content of every episode is so rich that no cliff-hanger kind of gimmick is needed to keep you hooked to show. Watching grey's anatomy is, so, one of my fave pastime that i have in this spring holiday, or should i put it this way, one of the things that keep me going thru my daily routine of micro and macro econ studies...
I know my xanga is always blamed for lateness. It has been months but still no word on what im up to. i chose not to spend me spring holiday in hong kong but here because u guys were busy for midterm, job hunting and such while i need to focus my study on the coming exam. The good news is that my effort total paid off!! yea, i passed. it has really been a while that i actually find an exam that im really to die for. lol
a perfect concert is just what i need before my final. yeh, there is not much in the photo but John Legend is just phenomenal. It was a pity that i could not see his fingers move along on the keyboard of the grant piano coz my friend and i sat in the 43rd row... anyway the lighting (im really impressed with the lighting, btw), the back vocals, the band, everything was just perfect. The concert even remained me how i love soulful R&B...
Soulful R&B works for me and so do songs with beautiful lyrics. "The one I love" by David Gray is one of those songs that had been in my ipod for a while and i was not crazy about until lately (well, exams comin. and i listen to my ipod when i study. thats why). This song is no typical love song. Just give it a try before i tell you why i am crazy about the song.
When i listened to the song for the first few times, I didnt quit notice that the song is about a guy, who is about to die, thinking about the love of his life. Coz the melody, the voice is so joyful. How the guy love his girl is explicitly and at the same time smartly expressed in the song. There are the lyrics of the song:
Gonna close my eyes Girl and watch you go Running through this life darling Like a field of snow As the tracer glides In its graceful arc Send a little prayer out to ya ‘cross the falling dark
Tell the repo man And the stars above You’re the one I love
Perfect summers night Not a wind that breathes Just the bullets whispering gentle ‘mongst the new green leaves There’s things I might have said Only wish I could Now I'm leaking life faster Then I'm leaking blood
Tell the repo man And the stars above You’re the one I love You’re the one I love The one I love
Don’t see Elysium Don’t see no fiery hell Just the lights up bright baby In the bay hotel Next wave coming in Like an ocean roar Won’t you take my hand darling On that old dancefloor
We can twist and shout Do the turtle dove And you’re the one I love You’re the one I love The one I love
the song is so vivid but genuinely phrased. it is just like a poem, except that it also has the perpect melody. Good job, David gray.
okay let me clear up what happened to me a week ago. i got invited to a part, a party full of latinos. I was hoping to catch up with my good o'friend who was just one of the hosts of the events. So I went and my crappy Spanish totally made me even feel retarded, lame and awkward. Mmm..blah!! you know the rest. now when I come to think of it, it feels silly to let down by just a party. The music was the problem. im never into hip pop and so reagetton is never my thing. Gasolina was the only song I knew. If they were playing some funky tunes, my feet might have found a way to the dance floor. It has to be the music. LOL
Listening to the song is like doing crack. Once u started u never stop and u will just want more. Enjoy!!
Some people are just born with it. there were times, situations, circumstances putting me under the impression that i belong to one of them. but it is now that things clear up and for once i can see the whole picture - im pretty sure im not one of them.
Trying to stay confident or be confident is always gonna be my issue of life. its a fact so true that i hate to admit; a reality too unfeeling to face. i believed language is, after all, nothing more than a tool to communicate; at the end of the day it is ur personality that has to make it work. under such belief i somehow have survived almost half of my university life in a foreign country. while i thought im experienced in not letting the language barrier to stand in my way, even in another foreign culture, i was proven wrong.
im soooo screwed...the flights are all messed up today becoz of the dame typhoon! and the chance to get on to the flight today is sooo slim. arh, im so not gonna make it to the TLIC camp today...ive been lookin forward to the camp for weeks coz ive been missing the camp for the past 2 or 3 years...the very first programme of my perfect plan for the summer vacation is officially dunzo!!!
i hate to stay on the standby list all day so i think i will just hang out in tokyo for a few more days if i cannot get on to the flight today!!!
