Mui-jeh was my very first idol and I started listening to her even before I knew what music was. Suddenly miss her a lot, so decided to watch a few of her videos during my break. It's pretty heart-wrenching to watch her so dedicated and professional because she apparently fainted after her performance from some illness. Sigh. Back to work.

Green Tea Ice Cream
I am currently crazy over green tea ice cream especially those rich and presumably extremely fattening kind that they sell at Orchard these days.
I had a weird dream again last night: I dreamt that I went to this ice cream store and was looking for green tea ice cream as per normal and finally I spotted it!!! It was dark green, rich and strong and I was about to reach greedily into the freezer when my dad entered the room and woke me up. -.-
Yea ok this entry has been quite stupid. Maybe someone can buy me one?? HEEHEE

葬花词
尔今死去侬收葬,未卜侬身何日丧?
侬今葬花人笑吃,他年葬侬知是谁?
试看春残花渐落, 便是红颜老逝时。
一朝春尽红颜老,花落人亡两不知。
侬今葬花人笑吃,他年葬侬知是谁?
试看春残花渐落, 便是红颜老逝时。
一朝春尽红颜老,花落人亡两不知。
-黛玉葬花
This is probably my favourite part out of the entire Red Building Dreams because it just encapsulates the fragility and melancholy of life in literally a few words. And it can't be translated because it'll sound so stupid:
Black Jade Burying Flowers (HAHA)
You die today so I bury you, but when is it my turn to die?
People laugh at me because I bury you, but who will bury me in future?
Try and see the spring at the end then the flowers fall slowly, that is the end of youth.
In one morning the spring ends and the younth dies, but no one knows of our passing.

SEE it is absolutely impossible to do this in English!!! Then again you can't translate Shakespeare into Chinese and still keep the humor etc so it works both ways.
OK back to studying -.-
