dad brought me to the place he used to stay when he was young.
爸爸带我去看看他的老家
a ruined old house.
一个已经荒废的家
while dad was telling me a lot of stories, i whispered,
当爸爸兴致勃勃地告诉我很多很多的往事，我轻声说，
'thank you'.
感恩。
thank you, old house.
感谢老家。
thank you, old times.
感谢岁月。
thank you, daddy.
感谢爸爸。
the visit led me into a deep thought.
认真地想了一想，
how often we blame time for snatching memories, stuffs, materials...?
我们常常责怪岁月冲淡了某些回忆，淘汰的某些东西，
and how often we thank time for leading us through those bad days, helping us to grow?
我们可曾感谢岁月，让我们走出低潮，让我们成长？
afterall, time makes us alive. :)
原来是岁月让我们活着。
其实，岁月并没有偷走什么
就好像，不管阴天雨天晴天春天夏天秋天冬天，白昼或黑夜，
其实，太阳一直都在。

又和谁到了同一个目的地? and who reached the same destination as you?
昨天，与谁进了同一间餐厅 yesterday, who dined in the same restaurant
又和谁坐了同一个的座位? and who has the same seat as you?
现在，与谁感受着同一个温度 now, who is feeling the same temperature
又和谁呼吸着同一个节奏 and who is breathing the same tempo as you?
明天，会与谁会在路上见面 tomorrow, who will be meeting you in this journey
又会和谁拥有类似的命运 and who will be having similar fate as you?
我总觉得,在世界另一个角落，有人会和我思考着一样的东西，面对着一样的烦恼。 i think that, there is always someone at the other corner of this earth, who shares the same thought, and faces the same problems with me.
所以,我不是一个人作战 so, i know i am not alone.
勇气来了 and here comes the courage.
*我没勇气时都这样想的* *i always think this way when i need courage*
p/s - adele is good. :) natura classica is also good. :D

went for Phantom of the Opera on the 4th, and Love Never Dies on the 5th. my friends said i was crazy. lol. i wanted to go for Stomp as well, but too bad, no moolah!
if you have not known, 'Love Never Dies' is the sequel written by Andrew Llyod Webber and performed only not long ago, erm, perhaps only a year ago. :) i was quite disappointed by the story and especially scenes before the intermission. but the show went pretty good after the intermission.
one of my favourite piece from Love Never Dies,
Let hopes pass, let dreams pass, let them die. Without you, what are they for?
'Til' I Hear You Sing' by Ramin Karimloo.
too bad, Ramin Karimloo was on leave for the show I attended. Tam Mutu was the phantom of the night. But still, he was superb! his voice was amazing when he performed Til' I Hear You Sing. actually, i'd prefer Tam Mutu's version of it, than the youtube clip of Ramin's. :)
not gonna tell you the plot of Love Never Dies. :D i think it's a good musical that worth attending to the theatre to watch.
oh! haven't I told ya that Andrew Llyod Webber is my new idol? he is the producer for many of the musicals in London, Phantom of the Opera, Love Never Dies, Wizard of Oz, Cats and The Sound of Music, bla bla bla. he is also the composer of most of the songs. Think of Me, All I Ask of You, Til' I Hear You Sing, Memory bla bla bla. for me, he is a musician as great as Joe Hisaishi and John Williams. :D
p/s - aiks, Phantom of the Opera was great as well. love the scene where Raoul and Christine escape to the roof, and sang 'All I Ask of You'. sweeeet! but too bad, my friend and I felt that even La Carlotta sang better than Christine. and this current Christine is rated as the worst Christine for Her Majesty's Theatre ever. :/
share with you one more great song by Andrew Lloyd Webber,
I remember the time I knew what happiness was. Let the memory live again
Memory, from Cats
*woohooo phantom and love never dies were my 2nd and 3rd musical in London! more to come! saving mooooolah for Mama Mia and Les Miserable. mama mia, here i go again... i dreamed a dream in time gone byyyyyyy~*
