Xiang, jian, jian, dan, dan, de, Ai!

Ming is having the old 2000 and 2001 Jay Chou song fever. Hahaha. Man, to me his songs are much better back then. It's more 'Jian Dan' which I like.

Was humming and singing parts of the songs that are locked in my head while calculating the low-pass and high-pass filter formulas. LOL

Here's one that I love. And for those who can't understand chinese, a 'best-effort' translation is provided below.

Hope you guys would enjoy it as much as I do! XD

Jian Dan Ai by Jay Chou

Translation: wackycashew - www.jay-chou.net

說不上為什麼
shuo bu shang wei shen me
Couldn’t really say why

我變得很主動
wo bian de hen zhu dong
I became very initiative-taking (or “active” as opposed to “passive”)

若愛上一個人 / 什麼都會值得去做
re ai shang yi ge ren / shen me dou hui zhi de qu zuo
If you fall in love with someone, anything is worth doing

Pre Chorus

我想大聲宣佈
wo xiang da sheng shun bu
I want to announce loudly

對妳依依不捨
dui ni yi yi bu she
That I can’t bear to be apart from you

連隔壁鄰居都猜到我現在的感受
lian ge bi ling ju dou cai dao wo xian zai de gan shao
Even my next door neighbors can guess my feelings right now

Chorus 1

河邊 / 的風 / 在吹著頭髮/ 飄動
he bian / de feng / zai chui zhe tou fa / piao dong
The breeze by the river, is blowing your hair, swaying

牽著 / 妳的/ 手一陣莫名/ 感動
qian zhe / ni de / shou yi zhen mo ming / gan dong
Holding your hand, a sense of unknowingly being touched

我想帶妳回我的外婆家
wo xiang dai ni hui wo de wai po jia
I want to take you to my grandma’s home

一起 / 看著日落 / 一直到我們都睡著
yi qi / kan zhe ri luo / yi zhi dao wo men dou shui jiao
Watching the sunset together until we fall asleep

Chorus 2

我想就這樣牽著妳的手不放開
wo xiang jiu zhe yang qian zhe ni de shou bu fang kai
I want to just hold your hand like this and not let go

愛能不能夠永遠單純沒有悲哀
ai neng bu neng gou yung yuan dan chun mei you bei ai
Can love be forever innocent without sadness

我 想帶妳騎單車
wo, xiang dai ni qi dan che
I want to take you bike-riding

我 想和妳看棒球
wo, xiang he ni kan bang qiu
I want to watch baseball with you

想這樣沒擔憂 唱著歌 一直走
xiang zhe yang mei dan you chang zhe ge yi zhi zou
Want to be like this with no worries, singing as we walk along

我想就這樣牽著妳的手不放開
wo xiang jiu zhe yang qian zhe ni de shou be fang kai
I want to just hold your hand like this and not let go

愛可不可以簡簡單單沒有傷害
ai ke bu ke yi jian jian dan dan mei you shang hai
Can love be simple without pain

妳 靠著我的肩膀
ni, kao zhe wo de jian pang
You leaning on my shoulder

妳 在我胸口睡著
ni, zai wo xiong kou shui jiao
You sleeping on my chest

像這樣的生活 我愛妳 妳愛我
xiang zhe yang de sheng huo wo ai ni, ni ai wo
Like this kind of life, I love you, you love me

想 簡！簡！單！單！ 愛
xiang! Jian! Jian! Dan! dan! Ai...
Want simple simple love!

想 簡！簡！單！單！ 愛
xiang! Jian! Jian! Dan! dan! Ai...
Want simple simple love!

This saturday (which is tomorrow) would be the last time I involve myself in an event before my finals come!!! (5 weeks left). My house church is involved in the Operation Stitches 'Winter Outreach' program where we would be distributing beanies, coats, scarfs etc... to people who are from disadvantaged communities.

To me it's a great way to bless them and if possible, share the gospel with them. We are doing this so that we can show them that, we love them and care for them... with no strings attached!

Hope I can mesmerize the kids with by solving the Rubik's cube. :P

Other than that, it'll be Mother's Day this Sunday. Gonna suit up and escort the pretty ladies to the church. (expect more pics to come!)

To Mimmy:

By the way mum. You're awesome! All the fights, quarrels, *mortal kombats* we had were worth it. Thank you for sacrificing so much time for me and Wey. I hope we didn't cause to much wrinkles or white hair on ya! :P

But yeah, I'm blessed to have you and dad as my lovely parents. One beautiful and the other one 'cute' <--- like Yi would say,

Just telling you in advance cause you'll be heading towards UK this weekend.

Enjoy your trip!

Your awesome handsome super 'geek' wanna be son,

Ming

Anyway, my dear readers! Here's a quote from a movie called Mary and Max which is a must watch!

'God gave us relatives... but thank God we can choose our friends', and like my parents always say, 'CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY'.

God bless and have an awesome weekend peeps!
