我永遠不會忘 我們最初的夢想
還有那最綺麗 有你和我的星光
讓我們大聲唱 希望是我們的手杖
杵著他走 用他來克服一切絕望
這是收錄在「說故事給你聽」的專輯里。
專輯是小不點４個月前從台北買回來的。
可是因為換了工作環境，所以一直到現在才開始聽這張專輯。
記得認識Ｓｏ Ｗｈａｔ是因為一位朋友的介紹。
當時她帶了Ｓｏ Ｗｈａｔ的首張專輯來我們的聚會，
就這樣托她千里迢迢從台北幫我買回來．．．

Review: 還好 陳珊妮的書
會買這本書當然是因為 Sandee。
喜歡 Sandee的歌，對她的人也很好奇所以從老遠把這本書給定回來了。
整本書都是一些 Sandee的一些想法，一些經歷過的事，讓她領悟的道理。
最有印象的就是那篇「還好」。
『但是這兩個字就好像蟑螂一樣 迅速在嘴邊繁殖起來』
我也是一個常用還好字眼的人。
通常是在不知道要怎樣回答的時候，選擇這樣的答案。
當有人問我「最近好嗎？」，
除了回答「還好」，也不知道要怎樣回答。
說自己很好嗎？也不一定。說自己不好？也不是。
所以就是還好．．．
當中，Sandee也說了大家越來越愛用模糊籠統的字眼來形容事物。
確實如此。我們常說，這首歌很８０年代，那到底８０年代的歌是怎樣的形容詞呢？
很搖滾？很滄桑？不知道，就是很８０年代．．．
還有一段Sandee提到了關於對她的批評。
有些因為自己曾經學過幾年的音樂就大法言論，可是自己卻從來都沒有發表過什麼作品。
有時真覺得這重人真討厭。自己就只有那一點三腳貓功夫，就用來斷定其他人。
并沒有真正的用心去聆聽這些歌曲。
如果不公平，那麼他們的批評就是無謂的．．．

櫻桃幫 ：小丑世界
作詞：櫻桃幫 作曲：櫻桃幫 編曲：Randy
歡迎來到小丑世界 每張臉都有七彩五顏 燦爛的謊言
你給我的是張笑臉 心裡面其實在說討厭 假的連我都覺得可憐
大人們的成熟世界 每個人都在互相敷衍 可笑的語言
被定律劃成平行線 錯與對永遠沒交界 選錯邊你就會被毀滅
誰說這世上只有乖小孩能說話 我的小丑要撕掉笑臉中的虛假
擦掉微笑上揚的嘴巴 裝上鮮血淋漓獠牙 咬得 你剩殘渣
吧吧吧啦啦勒 吧吧吧啦啦勒 吧吧吧啦啦勒 吧吧吧啦啦勒
用微笑把自己催眠 逢場作戲就活靈活現 從來沒改變
一成不變裝著笑臉 所有誠實都快被消滅 這種世界我不想了解
胡言亂語也可能成為思想主張 偽裝善良醞釀著背後毀壞力量
夢像沾上灰塵的翅膀 不管路途多麼漫長 始終 向前 飛翔
吧吧吧啦啦勒 吧吧吧啦啦勒 吧吧吧啦啦勒 吧吧吧啦啦勒
歡迎來到小丑世界 歡迎來到小丑世界
================================================
會聽「櫻桃幫」的歌是因為ＭＭ的介紹。
後來更因為在ＭＴＶ聽到他們的歌，所以就買了他們專輯。
當中我滿喜歡這首『小丑世界』，實實在在的反應了大人的世界。
只希望我不會成為這小丑世界的一份子，可是我能嗎？
有人說『人在江湖，身不由己』．．．

Review: In Her Shoes
Finally finish reading this book... after the last book i went to read 《一公升的眼淚》but find the book a bit too draggy and started reading this "In Her Shoes"... but in between reading it, I went to read "Death Note" just so I will finish reading the manga before the movie starts screening... so took more then a month to finish reading it... :PPersonally I bought this book because I thought "In Her Shoes" will be nice, since it has been translated into a movie.. but like "Good In Bed" her stories are a bit draggy in the middle of the book... But compare to "Good In Bed" this is slightly better...
In the middle of the book, it also refer to characters in the "Good In Bed", sort of giving an ending to "Good In Bed" telling you whether did "C" got married to the doc... so quite lucky I bought the compilation version...
Story wise, "In Her Shoes" covers more on the relationship between family members and particularly between sisters... sisters are someone who you will always forgive and go all out to help no matter what because we are "sisters"... i'm happy that in the end Rose and Maggie did "make up" after what has happen....
I also like the part where Rose just drop her job as a lawyer and decide to do something really different (walk the dog) for a change to get away from all the unhappiness... that takes a lot of courage and not everyone can do the job... and more importantly is how we find happiness in the things we do... but happiness need courage... and I'm trying to find and master the courage... :P

Review: ５４度Ｆ藍色溫度的旅行
這本書是由短篇文字累計而成的．雖然很多文章都是關於愛，但是就如作者所說，這本書沒有特定的人物．可以是親人、愛人或朋友．
以下是書中我最喜歡的幾段．
缺氧
．．．
因為太害怕，終究變得無法前進或後退．
一直想給你最好的，卻忘了問你需要什麼？
．．．
多少時候我們常認為自己為了家人，朋友，愛人而犧牲很大．
覺得做的東西是為了他們．
可是有多少次我們真的有問過他們需要的是什麼．
只是一為的把自己想的東西強加在他們身上，
結果累了自己，而他人也未必真的有收穫．
在天空的夢
原來，長大要付出的代價，其實是「無法擁有夢想」．
不是說夢想消失了，而是再也無法懷抱著：
『有天會長出翅膀，在天空飛翔．』
這樣美好的願望了．
這樣單純的夢想，現在的我，無論如何是再也說不出口了．
多少都摻雜現實的願望，還算是夢想嗎？
．．．
長大了，夢想真的會變得比較實際．
應該為自己的成熟而高興，
還是為了不能夠再懷著純真的夢想而難過呢？
向前行
．．．
『與其擔心無法預測的事，還不如好好過現在！』
．．．
常常為了將來的，不知道會不會發生的事而擔心．
有時想想還真有些無聊．
傀儡
．．．
我要做的自己呢？
究竟是從何時開始的？
我竟連作夢的權利都放棄了．
．．．
曾經成為了朋友的傀儡．
會因為他們的不高興，他們的脾氣而傷心難過．
可是一科傷透了的心，原來可以讓自己做回自己．

Review: PS I Love You
Saw this book while doing book shopping with Ah Jo. Wanted to buy it and realise that actually Ah Jo wants to buy it too.. so in order to save $ and space, Ah Jo offers to buy and lend me the book.. *hee hee*Anyway this book talks about how a woman (Holly) gets back to life after losing her husband to brain tumour. I remember one part of the book it talks about how Holly just feel so helpless and there was no one she can turn to because she doesn't want to get them worried that she actually call her husband number, and told her husband voice mail: "I need you..". Upon reading this, tears start streaming down my cheeks. I sort of feel how sad and desperate she was.
Another portion of the book that really strikes me is the part where her friends starts to get on with life (one got pregnant, the other is getting married) and that Holly starts to feel jealous that everyone life is moving on except for hers. And she is angry at her friend for getting over her husband death and moving on with life. Actually I sort of understand her kind of jealousness and fustration, however, sometimes I feel that most people in Holly situation just choose to not move on. They feel that being the "victim" of the whole incident, they have all the right to be depress and wanting everybody to sympathise with her, be sad with her but at the sametime doesn't want the rest to be so careful with their day-to-day conversation that they purposely avoid some topics. Its a contridicting feeling. And I kind of think that these people tend to over "victimise" themselves to seek attention. They should really just move on. Others can't be there all the time to look after you. Well, but I was never in such a situation (thank god) and hope I never will be in that kind of situation, so probably its easier sad then done.
As for the ending of the book, the author tried to work in a little twist, which I think she didn't do a good job... or probably the author is just trying to tell you that life is all that rosy or happens as you wish.... so didn't really like the ending.... compare it with "My Sister Keeper" ending, although both try to bring out something similar but I think Jodi Picoult did a much much better job... well maybe I'm just bias... :P

Reviews Reviews Reviews
Haven't update this blog for a long long time... busy is one thing... another thing is no internet at work place.. so got lesser time to do blogging... From the last time till now, I finish reading 3 books.. and is half way thru by 4th book.. hopefully i can keep up to my blogging in time to come...
The Tenth Circle
The latest book by my favourite author... I would still say "My Sister Keeper" is still the best, no doubt this book is still not too bad. This book is about a girl who accuse her ex-boyfriend of raping her.. so did he? And who knows this ex-boyfriend died shortly after. They say it was a suicide, but was it really? If it is not, then who is the murderer?
As usual for Picoult books, there is a little twist at the end. I didn't manage to guess the correct murderer this time.. i kept thinking it was someone else, but it turn out to be another person.
In this book, the protective father is a comic book artist. So together with the novel, there is actually some comic strips after each chapter... and of course these are not random comics, but related to the story itself. And at the end of the book, Picoult actually tells the reader that there is hidden alphabets in the comic and we can search them and form a quote which summarise what is the message she wants to bring across. Can't tell you the answer as it will becomse spoiler. Its up to you to find out after you read the book.
Actually read some good lines in the book, and stored the page number in my handphone so I can blog about it. But.. i just changed my fone because of my new work place, and is too lazy to plug out my sim card and put into my old fone to retrieve the information... maybe later when i'm in the mood and have the time i will blog about them...
KUSO 網路三國志
這本書是這次到台灣時看到然後買的．自己都很意外居然會去讀關於三國志的書．可能是因為在翻閱的時候看到一些還滿好笑的句子吧．加上這本書在打折所以就買了．
這本書是以現代的網路世界來改寫當初三國時代的一些東西．比如劉備三顧茅廬等．對於不曾看過原本三國志的我來說，可能會看不出一些滿搞笑的橋段，可是也同時讓我大概知道一些三國的人物和時間．所以也不完全是本垃圾書．我想每一本書都有可以學習到的東西吧．
Good in Bed
This book actually contain the 2 best sellers from Jennifer Weiner, I have only read the "Good In Bed", cos I need to read the other book i borrowed from Ah Jo. Crazy me with so many books to read still went to borrow from others.. hahaha... i'm just so greedy.
Anyway this book is about a plump reporter who broke up with her BF because she thinks that they are not compatable, but later on found out that actually she still love him rather deeply. And the worst is her BF actually wrote about loving a plump woman like her on a rather popular magazine. And to make matter worst she finds that her job as a journalist is not all that fulfilling. She hope one day someone will recognise her talent and use her script for a movie.
So the whole story is about her trying to struggle thru all this downside in her life and became a better person. To me I didn't really learn much from the book, as probably because I'm a very different person as compared to the female lead.. or maybe I haven't really see that much difficulties in life yet. So reading this book is just like a normal novel reading for me, not much to write about.

Updates
Haven't been updating my readings recently. Too busy at work.. too busy going overseas.. hahahaa... anyway completed 2 books during this period... "Name the animals" and "直到約定的那一天"
For name the animals is about how a girl cope with the lost of her brother, how she turn into a les and later on moving on with life. Seriously I can't remember much about the story... didn't really like the book that much except for the front part where her brother dies and how the author commented that the adults were too busy grieving that they didn't "notice" her... yah how sad for her.. but again adults are humun too...
This is a better book. Its from the same author as "Be With You", but I think this book is much better in written wise as compare to "Be With You". Don't know is it because the impression of "Be With You" on movies is too much for me, that I find the original novel disappointing.
However this book is rather good. I finish reading it in 1 week. Which I haven't been able to achieve for very long time. The only thing is that I find the ending not as good... Hmm... not that the ending is lousy but you sort of guess the ending quite early, there wasn't really a twist... otherwise the book is rather nice...
bought another 2 more of his books from taipei... and also another 5 books from other authors... gosh... the books i bought the last time I went taipei i haven't even finish... must speed up my reading process.. there is so much books i want to read but so little time to read them.... hope to clear my pile of books soon... and i need to get a bookshelves... my books and CDs are going homeless soon....
