又是離開的時候

Shanghai / Qingdao for the next 10 days. Be back on 30 April.

Finally have a chance to get away.

Washed out.

That feeling kept lingering in me. It just wouldn't go away. The train was never this quiet and empty (and cold), but it was so tonight. On this very night, I felt washed out...washed out by my own mental turmoil and self-tormenting, like a tired beast after banging his head against the iron grills of his cage.

As drama as it seemed, this song played out in my mind as the train cruised along the tracks in the dead of the night.

Angel Eyes

by Sting

(from "Leaving Las Vegas" OST)

Have you ever had the feeling
That the world's gone and left you behind
Have you ever had the feeling
That you're that close to losing your mind

You look around each corner
Hoping that she's there
You try to play it cool perhaps
Pretend that you don't care

But it doesn't do a bit of good
You got to seek till you find
Are you never unwind

Try to think
That love is not around
Still it's uncomfortably near

My old heart
Ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here


Angel eyes
That old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say
That my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink and the laugh's on me

Pardon me
But I gotta run
The fact's uncomfortably clear
Gotta find
Who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here
Excusez moi my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear

Pretty much an end to it all.

Last friday's strat and urban econ classes marked the end of my four-year education in SMU. And then it was followed by a night of music at Starrynight (my first and last one), drinks at ICB followed by boardgames galore in the library all the way till 6am! And I also saw with my very own eyes a car skid and crash into the railings right in front of the sch library. A fast and furious night in deed.

I must say its quite memorable spending the last days of school with some of my favorite people in SMU.

Two exams to go, and then i'll be off to shanghai!

你的倩影

在人群中，我一直感覺到你的存在。

人來人往的儅兒，又好像看到你那熟悉的背影滑過我身旁。有好幾次，一股衝動竟油然而身，好想叫出你的名字。但最終還是領悟到那背影並不屬於你。

那天我們終于碰面了。是恰巧的碰面。我感覺到你的不自在，也不時把話講個不停，掩飾自己的尷尬。

過後你很快就請便離去。儅你轉過身後，我站在牆角看著你的倩影漸漸消失。我的視線也同時模了糊，心裏想著何時才能再見到你。
