Shaolin



电影《新少林寺》主题曲
作词:刘德华
作曲:赵钦





无量心 生福报 无极限 without measuring how much the heart can give, blessings sprout without limits
无极限 生息息 爱相连 without limits, life survives, love connects
为何君视而不见 规矩定方圆 but why do you ignore that the way you live sets it all
悟性 悟觉 悟空 心甘情愿 enlightenment through conscience, consciousness and emptiness comes from a willing heart

放下颠倒梦想 放下云烟 let go of twisted dreams, let go of passing fame
放下空欲色 放下悬念 let go of empty lusts, let go of desires
多一物 却添了太多危险 having more led to much danger
少一物 贪嗔痴会少一点 having less will lead to lesser afflictions

若是缘 再苦味也是甜 should it be fate, no matter how bitter, it will be sweet
若无缘 藏爱 在心田 should there be no fate, keep the love in your heart
尘世 藕断还丝连 回首一瞬间 what may seems to be broken could still be connected, it only takes a moment to look back
种颗善因 陪你走好每一天 plant a good beginning to accompany you through a good life

唯有心无挂碍成就大愿 only when the heart is unhindered can the biggest wishes be fulfilled
唯有心无故妙不可言 only when the heart is unbounded by the past is it at its best
算天算地 算尽了从前 no matter how much we estimate
算不出生死会在哪一天 we can never know when we would meet death

勿生恨 点化虚空的眼 do not hate, disillusion your eyes
勿生怨 欢喜不遥远 do not resent, happiness is ahead
缠绕欲望的思念 善恶一瞬间 the thoughts that surrounds the desires, good and evil are momentary
心怀忏悔 陪你走好每一天 the heart repents to accompany you through a good life

再牢的谎言 却逃不过天眼 no matter how good the lie is, it cannot escape God's eyes
明日之前 心流离更远 and before tomorrow, the heart will wander even farther
浮云霎那间 障眼 人心渐离间 the instance of clouds blur the eye, the heart falters
集苦连连 不断的出现 the bitterness in life would connect and appear continuously

无量心 生福报 无极限
无极限 生息息 爱相连

凡人却视而不见 规矩定方圆 yet we still ignore that the way we live sets it all
悟性 悟觉 悟空 心甘情愿 enlightenment through conscience, consciousness and emptiness comes from a willing heart
簡簡單單 陪你走好每一天 living with simplicity to accompany you through a good life

I love how he meshed the story in the movie with the 心經 in Buddhism :)
I don't know how to translate thoroughly everything that he has penned into lyrics, and I can't translate it word for word.
Basically it means that we shouldn't be so rigid about the things in life.

I'm very touched by this song, especially when it reached the part:


"若是缘 再苦味也是甜
若无缘 藏爱 在心田"


The moment I listened to this part, a very natural itch to the nose came to me. It's not as if I want to cry
..it's because it's true.
There are too many things in life.
If you have it, you have it. Appreciate it.
If you don't, then leave it be. Appreciate what you have now.
If it's meant to be yours, no matter what, it will be yours.
If it's not meant to be yours, then leave it be.

做人別太執著。 有就有, 沒有 也沒什麽大不了。
不是你的就不要。 一定會有更好的東西在前方。
然而 放開了拳頭也就可以放輕鬆 :)

Oh, and by the way. The song is called Wu. Enlightenment :)

Wow..

In less than a week, it's 2011.
Somehow it feels like 2010 flew through.
It feels like everything just happened yesterday.
Just yesterday,
I was in uni, waiting to attend PSY106 in the comp lab, smiled, and deactivated my Facebook account (and then shit happened).
Just yesterday,
Karie and Mel were in my house playing after they did a silly inventory of which they had to go to uni for on Saturday. They played, as I napped a little. They played, and we laughed tons as Mel pushed away Karie's huge ball away to prevent her from winning. They played, and Mel exclaimed that Winnee was laughing at them.
Just yesterday,
Mel, Sarah, Joyce and Zhen came over to my house, and we had a lot of fun ;) It was the beginning of the Monopoly Deal hype too!! :)
Just yesterday,
it was Karie's Soft Toy Birthday Party ;)
Just yesterday,
it was all about us surprising and celebrating Sarah's birthday :)
Just yesterday,
it was Chinese New Year, and we had dinner in New Paris.
Just yesterday,
Yi Zhen texted me so spontaneously that she wants to do her hair, and it had to be the next day! Haha, fun ;)
Just yesterday,
tofu and I met up together to watch Eat,Pray,Love :)
Just yesterday,
we hanged out in 1U, and did practically nothing much except walking and talking, window-shopping and talking, sitting down and talking, eating and talking.
Just yesterday,
she came over to have a sleepover in my house for the first time.
Just yesterday,
we all went for CHC's first Easter production, but couldn't get in, so we left and had ice cream in McD's instead. After that, I attended that production, twice.
Just yesterday,
I went with my siblings to karaoke, and we sang our hearts out.
Just yesterday,
I went for CHC's Christmas production, played Tap Tap, visited tofu, and went for karaoke :)
Just yesterday,
we were in Winnee's office, chattering and laughing away. I didn't talk much, but it sure was nice to hang out with an admirable yet intimidating lecturer! :)
Just yesterday,
was ARUPS. We worked ourselves out.. and I realize tons of people were ultimately stressed and extremely tired. But I found it a great experience... or maybe I'm just easily happified.
Just yesterday,
it was before we went to Rayner's party. Had a nice little chat with Moon and Nico :)
Just yesterday,
Sniffy brought me a Grande Peppermint Mocha Frapuccino (+3 shots).
Just yesterday,
I gave him Croco and saw his wtf face.
Just yesterday,
Li Hui, San, Yi Peng, Nico - we were all in Kiliney Kopitiam. Just talking :)
Just yesterday,
I went to Japan.
Just yesterday,
I was having fun watching my nephew Rui Rui pose for me in front of the camera.
Just yesterday,
we celebrated Meng's birthday in Italiannies.
Just yesterday,
I realized Weng Khye is really a nice guy after I got all irritated (and perhaps to him, it was the first time he saw me getting so annoyed) and so he suggested to go for karaoke anyway. Most likely I wasn't the only factor - it was after exams, and he hadn't went for karaoke for a long time too it seems. But still, very nice of that little kid! It's good because nice people are running low in this world :D and somehow I was happy to have showed that I was annoyed since.. ah haa, generally the day turned out well :)
Just yesterday,
we were doing our Forensics project.
Just yesterday,
I was in Bubba Gump, celebrating my 21st birthday.
Just yesterday,
we were laughing on about something during break.
Just yesterday,
tofu came and spent the night, then went for my Cognitive class.
Just yesterday,
we studied in Taylors Lakeside Campus.
Just yesterday,
I was out with Michelle, Maple and friends to yumcha.
Just yesterday,
it was bloody prom.. and after that we went for karaoke.
Just yesterday,
I went for a trip to Malacca with Mel, Meng, Jen, Jie Xin and Chew Wei. We ate tons, laughed tons, enjoyed tons, and had tons of good memories :)
Just yesterday,
I was in Yi Zhen's uncle house with Mel, playing truth or dare.
Just yesterday,
I showed Yi Zhen a thank you video and she laughed. Later, she showed it to her sister, and Yi Lin chased her into the room.
Just yesterday,
I was sad.
Just yesterday,
I was happy.
Just yesterday,
I regretted.
Just yesterday,
I learnt from my mistakes.
Just yesterday,
I learnt that I won't make wrong decisions, as long as I don't act.. or speak when I am angry.
Just yesterday,
it was Christmas. :)

But with memories like these.. 2010 has been a fruitful year, and I'm sure I hadn't listed everything down yet. Every single day of 2010 has been like Christmas. Every day I am gifted with a memory to keep, or otherwise, a day to live. ;)

Have a good year ahead, you! =)

Three Shots

I think this is worth remembering.

Sniffy bought me Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino with three shots,
and delivered it to me at 12 midnight! HAHA!
That's so sweet!

Sniffy says it's for all these years of proofreading.
But still it's nice. :D

Ok back to figuring out those tables.
