dance like nobody's watching

Quote from : Mark Twain

"Dance like nobody's watching;
love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening;
live like it's heaven on earth."
-- Mark Twain

[歌詞] Live your Dreams

*** Live your Dreams.
(sound track from Save the Last Dance)

[Verse 1]
Here's the chance of life
Get ready, set, fly.
High! Above the fear of your mind
Go for it, it's hit or miss
Too late for you to quit
You gotta show 'em how bad you really want this

[Chorus]
Live your dreams,
It's not as hard as it may seem
You gotta work to get the cream
On your hopes you must lean
From your fears, you have to win yourself
It's all or nothing, Give your everything.

[Verse 2]
Are what you believe,
You got to bring the heat
Set the pace, competition takes the lead
This is it, all eyes on you
So stay on point and prove
That you deserve, what's long over due

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
My heart is still recovering
From the heart break of another kind
I'm still drying my tears
Getting over my own fears
In my life, so I wanna make sure this time
That I'm strong enough, to give it my all

[Chorus]
[Pause for vocalizing]
[Chorus x2]

You know you got to live your dreams
so don't you be afraid
Just set the pace and take the lead,
It's your time to shine

Dec. 15 feelings over the weekend.

***Photos are for great memory.

By accident, I reviewed all the pictures remained in my portable disk, and saw all those happy face that I get to see at least once a week. It’s not hard to understand why there weren’t any frown face in any pictures, since I can even hardly recall any chances we get to use that expression.
I miss you guys so much. I don’t like the feeling to be so far array from you guys and the music which always accompany us. It’s hard to share this feeling with the friend I have here. As I viewed all the pictures, all the funny things that said were retrieved again into my mind as if they all happened just yesterday.
Moving on with new friends, I felt a sudden lost of sharing. I hate the feeling not knowing whom to talk to, which reminds me the fact that I am alone.


***Friday night, I watched a movie with Neels and Laura.
The movie planned to watch about a doctor could not play and these we watched the movie I suggested which I loved: Save the Last Dance.
It's a movie I have love to much and watch for so many times which my eye would start to get wet before the tragic car accident happen, and know the lines Derick is about to say to Sara which I replay many times in order to note down every word of their conversation .

"I saw your face, like I saw when you were dancing few days ago. You were goofy happy!"
"What happened? You just woke up one day and decided to waste your talent?"
"How do you know I have talent, just because you saw me done some stupid leg trick?"
"... at least tell me something real."
"What if I don't want to be real? What I want is to wake up and see my mom again."
"It's my stupid dream that killed her. She was rushing to my audition and I was mad at here. I need her to be there."
......

The movie touched my most vulnerable part of the lost of my dear one, which I can't even imagine if I am ever able to overcome.
No talent should be wasted. But what is my talent? Is there a dream that we wanted to pursue so much that we never want to give up of?

My socialist flatmate sort of end the movie by the conclusion: well, it's a Hollywood movie. Because it's got a happy ending?
I surely wish they enjoy as much as I do, but the word he said is as if an insult of classless- to like/love such a Hollywood movie.
But what is wrong with that? Why should I care? I like the story, I like the music, and I like the dances.
Judgment could be harmful in someway.

Dec. 13 不期而遇

無意逛到團長大人的網誌相簿
不知道她對大提琴著迷的程度...

看到人間音緣的照片
freddy怎嚜看起來更老了@@
和昇好像有變帥?!
改變形象的爺改起來也不賴~
弘逸站得挺,襯衫很適合他,還是愛搞怪!
大衛的不一樣不知道是不是穩重的感覺?
憂鬱老大開心點啦~~~

很高興看到實驗學妹也跟大家衝比賽,看到她笑,知道他開心放心不少.
怡珊還是怕太高,沒有站直,要不歌聲會傳得悠揚呀
芸芸更加幹練的模樣,卻還是如此可愛
懿婷還是小妞,越亦成熟,卻仍甜美令人喜愛

感覺只有阿胖沒有變,看來他暱稱上的bossy bose
沒有把他那令人看得就不禁要覺得世界很美好得笑容壓榨殆盡

在相簿與你們不期而遇,看到的是那熟悉的面孔
張著嘴唱歌的你們,是我在熟悉不過得不是嗎!

近來每每被提醒,在畫面中缺席的你們
是我回到中山,回到颺韻都會覺得悵然若失的
是迎新=送舊, 還是送舊=迎新?

唱唱歌,有時候還可以聽到
bass tenor alto sop的輪替
閉上眼,看到那曖昧的偷偷的在嘴角傳遞的笑容
告訴你: 別偷懶! 我聽到你的聲音~

Dec. 12 右燈尚未啟用

I actually remembered how my friend told me that riding a bike with only one hand is basic! and if any trick that can be say that you are practicing on is with no hands.
Surely I am not writing now to say that I have start any kind of advance training yet, but to say that I have finally able to have a spare left hand for warning a left turn!

發現自己可以稍稍無懼的打左轉燈,
也就是空出左手向左方舉起停上幾秒 :P
可以是件值得小開心的事情.

在車多偶爾超車不少左右轉路口也是十分繁忙的荷蘭
騎腳踏車也有打燈的必要!

然對於初到荷蘭才新手上路的我
雙手控龍頭,提醒自己避開電線桿比較實在

看到那些又是雨天撐傘,講手機,放手的騎士
我只能報以佩服的眼光~

現在終於會打燈摟!
雖然右轉比較不需要打燈,
但是還是要敬告後方騎士:

呵~我的右轉燈號尚未啟用喔!

Dec. 11 雜想

計量期中不甚理想,完全達到考試的目的
自己沒有釐清的觀念,考卷上如此清晰

監考官看起來都不是打工賺時數的研究生
老的可以,交卷還跟你聊幾句, 說笑了起來
都聽不懂,不知道是不是因為這樣並不干擾還是因為教室很大

雜想,是不是因為身在國外,學習入境隨俗,所以多看多聽
看到如此不同的考官學生互動觀察紀錄,在台灣是不是會碎碎念覺得很煩?
倒底變成一個外國人,不滿的情緒在某些時候好像變的比較不容易產生
因為必須接受,或許在這ㄦ他們都是這樣做事的...
如果在自己的國家也這樣看待事情,儘管不滿少了,但是不是會讓人失去改變的動力?

考完試很恍神; 昨晚的失眠,今早很不清醒的起床
匆匆出門,又是Educatorium/gamma主校區大考場
出門時路燈還亮著,是長征,好在沒有雨,趕上上學潮,不至迷路

12點久違的陽光,恍神的騎在環外道路上,很輕鬆,但很想睡覺
到圖書館準備上課,遇到同學才知道昨天應該繳交的報告沒有傳送給老師
應該是我第一個開天窗的遲交,peroid2以來,事情總是一團混亂

真的想看點書嗎?好像也不然了,好累,真的只想休息.

昨天聽你說當head的事,領導需要的魅力固然是天生的
但是投注的熱情與心力卻是自己決定的,就算beta0很小
beta1的威力也不足,只能用更多的x1去創造增加Y值

與其在被要求中承受心煩與別人不滿的壓力
相較之下,投注心思去鼓舞團隊士氣,拿出些勇氣與魄力
其實花的時間差不多的,但後者明顯可以得到更多成長與快樂

從來就不想要當公務人員,就是受不了他們的踢皮球,還有浮報公款的習以為常
為了預留寬鬆一點的預算,濫報帳,空發票,惡習,社團也學的到
年末用不完在用奇怪的名目報帳,以免結餘讓明天的預算被砍
預算的意義早已消逝殆盡

生活的失序,讓我忙於奔波卻並沒有完成什麼成果
連帶還要媽幫我跑文件,雅莉幫我跟學校人員打交道,對老師很PUSHY.

下午課堂,Rissa說週末要回家跟媽媽去看芭蕾
是天下的媽媽都也愛芭蕾,還是從小也曾有過這樣的夢想?
還是只有媽媽這麼好,會陪女兒去看睡美人天鵝湖 ,分享一個優美的夜晚.
想媽媽,想在一起去看雲門,心底最明白,知道她寵著我.

Dec. 8 不成句, 生活雜記

最近是怎麼回事?
寫中文寫英文都不對勁
拼錯矯正就是了,但怎麼會怎麼寫都句不成句

想唸唸詩,想拾本喜歡的小說,聆聽文字的該有的旋律
想遠離在桌前看著外頭雨後透出的陽光的距離

感覺自己不像傳說中的交換生,夜夜笙歌,泡pub喝酒精.
課業報告一樣放不下,大四升學讀書計畫壓力很大

走向未來是不是就是這樣?



不知道你有那麼多沒說的話
好累,我近乎沒辦法回話
但我如此清晰的聽清楚記住你說的話

有目標才會衝
唯有徜徉在自己所愛的數學/經濟
才會不計一切的學習

發現自己像海綿吸收新知竟是在高中人文營裡的時光
聽一天的經典演講,儘管沒有書本扎實理論的閱讀
卻留了大量的時間讓我們放空摸索推敲
晚飯後在操場競走一個小時,只是自己面對自己,思考



人生不知是該在這樣的能量吸收與消耗間輪轉
還是有其他的選擇
有沒有可能, 讓生活儘管令人傷神卻同時汲取著能量

是不斷看到自己的不足
還是真不知不覺得在成長?



四位室友三位有訪客
Neels的前後來訪的兩位女性朋友是我在荷蘭看到最美的女生
Lura的朋友與她有說有笑在廚房細燉咖哩晚餐
Ritua哥哥帶女友來訪,訪客不斷的她,說有點受夠了
Steven女朋友是常客,我們都熟了,只是這週末並未來訪

夜裡我聽到他們的長夜絮語
是不是有朋自遠方來,都會有說不完的話語?

Dec. 6 需要休息

阿姆斯特丹回程的火車
黑暗中我深怕做錯車,錯過站

我失去了表情的能利
需要一個有熟悉味道的擁抱

在雨中騎車回家
很細密的雨,是我流不出的淚

客製化每間學校的讀書計畫,
修改, 翻修, 走到這一步, 沒有理由放掉

週五計量經濟學初稿due
週一國際財務銀行初稿due

下週二計量經濟學期中考, 週五IMFB跟教授meeting報告
下週五12/15所有的研究所文件都要寄到美國學校

考完試, 作文的濫觴
我必須自我要求每天讀報紙每週練習寫作
寫作能力是書面表達的呈現,有培養的必要


我好希望一個短短的休假
一個沒有時間成本負擔的午後
可以閒散的靠在枕頭上翻幾頁書
可以閒適的在二手書店坐一個下午
悠哉的像剛來荷蘭時不為了缺糧而逛逛超市

什麼時候可以沒有壓力的休息一下?

2007年12月2日 星期日

Dec. 2 GRE 威力

沒想到致很細心
一起長大還是有一點默契
跟我想的一樣, 可以的話, 省著點吃用
把考試的花費埋到生活費中攤掉
考好考壞, 自己面對就好

也很謝謝媽咪的細心, 回到房裡跟我說話
知道我受不了爸多一句諷刺的話

你要我把課業放下些, 真的很難
下下週中考, 計量經濟學從開學到現在都渾渾噩噩
我試著重拾統計, 扎實讀過的東西還能pick up
但是好像終究對於找不到計量著力點, 追不上可怕的感覺

知道就延到20幾號去考也不會多太多時間唸書
只是彼時丟出的申請文件已經遲, 只得衝動的決定下禮拜去考

早上還好好的, 講了電話就開始歇斯底里
毛躁只有在面對國際經濟學課本暫歇
開啟的兩份word檔, 我知道我今天必須完成的

昨天的min760訊息, 或許很久以前便見過
只是忘了因此衝動的說要ambitious申請
看到成績的時候不就知道爛的只是去經歷申請的過程
逼自己把讀書計畫寫出來, 狠狠的思考未來的方向

當一個學校告訴你去年的最低錄取成績是770
你最好曉得因為它設了門檻叫你760以下不要申請

翻攪的胃為什麼還會餓?
吃什麼都噎著胃酸卻仍得吃, 什麼都不對

唸書, 我告訴自己
心悸, 止不了心跳

大陰天 風吹無葉的枝芽

晚睡, 我還是會早起
我想還是把壞習慣改掉
說說話, 你睡我繼續

如果還有時間不舒服, 可以完成的事情不知道多少
書唸不完都是騙人的, 更忙的時候不是沒有經歷過

心煩的時候就會碎碎念
對不起我現在說話有專一性
不知道該說什麼還去煩你

我知道我會走過去, 因為終究要學會面對眼前的困境

態度很差沒有戒口, 對不起

Dec. 2 Am I strong enough?

Is shooting to the star always the right thing?
Especially when it's so costy.

Are we just sometimes blinded by the beauty?
And fails to evaluate our ability.

Why is there always some heavy defeat
follow right after some great compliment?

Embracing the praise, learning how to fly
seems so much easier than
putting pieces of heart back together
and learning to stand up once again.

***

Though always have been a lucky girl packed with support,
there are still time that seems so hard to bare and can only be face alone.

***

Two roads diverge in front of me, however
I could tell neither leads to where I know.

Could awful still be worse?
Should I stop before eventually hurting myself again?

Sometimes the study of choice bring me to the conclusion that:
No choice is better than have one.

what a pathetic phrase to state.


好希望已經到了谷底
可是卻沒有把握 踏出的下一步
是不是踩空到更深的峽谷
