Thoughts for the day:释怀 "Let Go"

Since my past two posts have been so wordy, I'll keep this simple with the song that has been stuck with me for sometime already.

It's because of this song that I've decided to listen to Cindy's whole album.

This song is simply..... amazing!  Well composed, well written lyrics and definitely well performed by Cindy Yen. Even the MV is touchingly done~ ending with a sweet and happy feeling

I shared it with her, and as expected, she loved it as well =)

I'm sure you will like this slow and serene song.. And yes, another emo song! But don't skip it, do give it a listen, maybe, like me, you will fall in love with this song as well..

袁咏琳 Cindy Yen -- 释怀 (Shi Huai) "Let Go"


作詞：賴雅妍/黃俊郎
作曲：袁詠琳

至今從沒讓心坦白 自從那年我們分開
我決定走 你決定待在 相遇的春暖花開
哭了很久 不捨離開 你說愛值得等待
過了很久 終於把手放開 試著不再期待
 
你的笑容 還是燦爛 It's true
我竟傻傻的 放下了愛的 美好而離開
 
經過幾次的愛 才開始明白
人會成長而回憶已不在
經過幾次等待 愛一直是愛
那些不捨的遺憾早該放開 早該放開

那道為你 而淚成的河 如今慢慢的乾了
你的聲音 在那麼久以後 漸漸 漸漸的輕了
那些難過 不是好了 只是終於習慣了
其實我自己 也不太相信 可以對你笑了
 
你的笑容 還是燦爛 It's true
我竟傻傻的 放下了愛的 美好而離開

經過幾次的愛 才開始明白
人會成長而回憶已不在
經過幾次等待 愛一直是愛
那些不捨的遺憾早該放開 早該放開

經過幾次的愛 才開始明白
人會成長而回憶已不在
經過幾次等待 愛一直是愛
那些不捨的遺憾早該放開

經過幾次失敗 淚哭了又乾
人會成長而回憶已不在
經過這次的愛 學會了釋懷
但已經太晚的無法再重來 你不在

English translation:
Until now have not been true to my heart, ever since that year we went on our separate ways
I decided to leave, you decided to stay.. in the encounter where the flowers bloomed in spring
Cried for very long and not wanting to leave, you said "love is worth the wait"
After a long time, finally managed to let go, trying not to look foward to again

Your smile... is still brilliant. It's true.
I actually stupidly let go of love's goodness and left..

Went through how many times of love only I begin to understand
We will grow and mature but the memories are no longer there
Went through how many times of waiting love still remains as love
Those regrets that we can't let go, should have let it go long ago... should have let it go long ago..


That river made out of the tears I cried because of you, is drying up slowly now..
Your voice, after so long, is slowly and gently becoming soft...
Those sorrowness are not healed, just that I finally became used to it...
Actually, I don't really believe that I can smile while looking at you..

Your smile... is still brilliant. It's true.
I actually stupidly let go of love's goodness and left..

Went through how many times of love only I begin to understand
We will grow and mature but the memories are no longer there
Went through how many times of waiting love still remains as love
Those regrets that we can't let go, should have let it go long ago... should have let it go long ago..

Went through how many times of love only I begin to understand
We will grow and mature but the memories are no longer there
Went through how many times of waiting love still remains as love
Those regrets that we can't let go, should have let it go long ago...

Went through how many times of failure, the tears have dried up again
We will grow and mature but the memories are no longer there
Went through this time's love, I've learnt to let go
But it is already too late and can no longer start anew... you are no longer here...

Thoughts for the day: Complicated "复杂"

史上， 爱情永远没那么简单。 但是， 人人就是喜欢无条件地踏进这个游戏。 好的结果， 就幸福永久； 反过来的，就伤心落泪。

The question is, if you know there is nothing coming out of this, will you still continue to give your unconditional love?

I would...

-------------------------------

Today, promotion list is out! =)

I got what I want! I'm glad, relieved and happy. Everything is according to plan!! Great...

Next phase shall begin soon hehe~

--------------------------------

Equivalent trade: Today I feel sad on something else.

Somehow, I feel that.. nothing will happen.

I was hoping...

But what I get back in return... sigh..

Nevertheless, I will continue to take it in... As always..

你开心就好了 =)

Thoughts for the day: Can't sleep 睡不着

I've been finding it hard to sleep for the past few days.. Don't know why.. Or maybe I know why but I don't want to accept it.. =/

Woke up shivering today. Feeling lethargic...

Hope next week is gonna be an awesome week!!!

Thoughts for the day: Of results, presentations and Monsters University

Today's been quite an interesting day... *After 2 weeks of dull-ness*

Beginning the day with a fellow friend of mine texting on........

CFA RESULTS WILL BE OUT ON 6TH AUG!!!!!!

What this means is... time to go for a drink on 6th Aug, pray on 5th Aug and definitely not think about this at all before then!!!!


Then comes the part where I stroll to work...... With one other worry at hand today... there's a presentation and I'm taking a rather big part of the presentation!

What presentation?

Essentially it's about this thing called the Visual Basic for Application a.k.a. VBA used to create an option pricing model for one of the engagements.. Now, we need to give a presentation to whole group of high level people on the complexity of the model... for reasons undisclosed...

Best part is that I'm assigned to the most technical bit of the whole presentation, i.e. running through the mechanics of the model.....

AND that translates to... PREPARATION NEEDED!

Whole morning I've been trying to keep up with my script and to run through the points over and over again...

Eventually, went for the meeting and gave the presentation with a flair the best we could and the team thought we did quite well in the meeting... So it should be fine, I guess... =D


The end of today was good and only happened cause dear friend, Alex, won 4 tickets to the premier screening of Monsters University!

Best thing But sadly, he wasn't able to make it for the show, so I got the privilege to go for it =) Thank you Alex if you're reading this! =P



Movie was very entertaining.. In fact it exceeded my expectations!! It's funny, interesting and has a lot of fun factors in it..
IMDB rated it 7.6 / 10 and I think it deserved its rating. Well done Pixar!

Thanks Jhan and Janice for making it to the movie!!

And I hope you have enjoyed yourself for the night =)

Well, it's late as it is... so good night people!

If you still have time for music, listen to this
