Random thots in my head

My most memorable point in the concert. I cried. Coz 张雨生 and her were good frenz and they were really platonic frenz who had a common love in music. my heart tremors each time i relive this moment.

Relive 张雨生's vocals


张雨生 only Duet with 阿妹


She sang this together with a digitised voice of 张雨生.
It was sooo heart wrenching.
And you see her crying out after that.
She had to retreat backstage to recompose herself.

彩虹 / Rainbow by Jay 周杰伦

彩虹
作曲:周杰伦
作词:周杰伦

哪里有彩虹告诉我 能不能把我的愿望还给我
为什么天这么安静 所有的云都跑到我这里

有没有口罩一个给我 释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药 也是我现在正服下的毒药

看不见你的笑我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球 太阳还是会绕
没有理由 我也能自己走

你要离开 我知道很简单
你说依赖 是我们的阻碍
就算放开 但能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

有没有口罩一个给我 释怀说了太多就成真不了
也许时间是一种解药 也是我现在正服下的毒药

看不见你的笑我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近我却抱不到
没有地球 太阳还是会绕
没有理由 我也能自己走

你要离开 我知道很简单
你说依赖 是我们的阻碍
就算放开 但能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

看不见你的笑 要我怎么睡得着
你的身影这么近 我却抱不到
没有地球 太阳开始环绕环绕
没有理由 我也能自己走掉
是我说了太多 就承受不了
也许时间是一种解药 解药
也是我选择整瓶服下的毒药

你要离开 我知道很简单
你说依赖 是我们的阻碍
就算放开 但能不能别没收我的爱
当作我最后才明白

Joke of the Day

Malaysian sues Britain over ethnic Indians' woes By Clarence Fernandez KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - An ethnic Indian in Malaysia is using an audacious strategy to highlight the plight of his mostly impoverished community by suing Britain, the country's former colonial ruler, for $4 trillion. The Malaysian government dismisses the case as baseless, but lawyer Waytha Moorthy is determined to pursue it, even vowing to appeal to Britain's Queen Elizabeth to appoint lawyers for the Indian community, which he says is too poor to find its own. Moorthy wants Britain to pay damages of 1 million sterling ($2.06 million) to each of Malaysia's 2 million ethnic Indians for rights abuses he traces to colonial-era labor schemes that brought their ancestors to Malaysia as indentured workers. "We are seeking compensation because we were permanently colonized during British rule, and now, under the government of the ethnic Malays," Moorthy told Reuters. "We have lost touch with our roots and have been suppressed so far," said Moorthy, who accuses British officials of failing to honor their responsibility to protect ethnic Indians when they granted independence to Malaysia in 1957. In colonial times, many impoverished Indians and Chinese flocked to work and settle in Malaysia, drawn by government schemes meant to attract cheap labor for the country's then lucrative rubber estates and tin mines, he added. RUN FOR HIS MONEY Some might feel that Moorthy, who paid court fees of more than 2,000 pounds to file his case in London's Royal Courts of Justice, has already got a run for his money from the Malaysian newspaper headlines that have trumpeted his story. But the episode highlights a very real dilemma: after 50 years of independence, ethnic Indians, most of whom are Hindu, own just 1.5 percent of the country's national wealth. The group, which forms about eight percent of Malaysia's 26 million people, says a decades-old affirmative action plan for the country's Malay Muslim majority has deprived it of opportunities, and the government has done little to improve living standards. The affirmative action plan, adopted after deadly race riots in 1969, favors politically dominant Malays in housing, education, businesses, jobs and state contracts. Ethnic Indians say the policy is discriminatory. Poor education further cripples their chances of upward social mobility, forcing them to continue being laborers, although some are now losing out to cheaper foreign workers. "Indians have suffered under the Muslim-majority Malay government and also during British government rule for the past 200 years," said Moorthy. His suit also asks the British courts to declare the Malaysian constitution void for not safeguarding the rights of ethnic Indians, and seeks British citizenship for the group. Moorthy said he was gathering 100,000 signatures for a petition to Queen Elizabeth to appoint lawyers to represent the Indian community, which was too poor to pay its own legal costs, which he estimated would reach a million pounds. "We only want justice in the United Kingdom courts," he added. "Whatever justice is given to us we will accept." (Editing by David Fogarty) ($1 = 0.4846 Pound)
