PMS (Post Mnight Syndrome)

26th and 27th of Feb 2010, two very memorable days for my first year undergrads in Imperial.

From reluctantly going for all the practices, to willingly skipping lab session for rehearsals, I have only two words to say- No regrets!

As I am typing this post, my memory reels back to the 2nd month after I touched down in London. I still remembered, there was a time when we complained about Mnight weekly practices took up our precious Wednesday afternoon. There was a time when we grumbled, of how hard to perfect our Dikir Barat moves. There was a time when we really didnt feel like going for Saturday and Sunday practices when Spring term commenced.

We thought, all these were just purely time-wasting.
We thought, all these were pretty useless, as compared to our studies.
We thought, all these were not even helpful in our CV.

Even until the few days before Mnight, when we were required to skip lectures, tutorials or lab sessions, we whined and sighed, thinking that studies are definitely more important. (I am one of them XD).

However, when the actual days arrived, we got high. We cheered, we shouted, and we clapped!

When the scenes were awesome, we clinched our fist and said YES!
When the jokes were funny, we had a great relief.
When we did mistakes on the stage, we comforted each other, saying that it's alright.
When we saw the seats were filled up, we knew the stage is for us. It's show time.

We camwhored, we laughed, we roared, and some of us did cry.

As the performances end, we felt heavy-hearted.

The familiar locations, UDH, UCH, QTR, Great Hall are etched in our minds. The weekly practices which we have so got used to them, making us to feel that back to normal life w/0 Mnight practice seems so awkward. The weekly dinner session at OC or Bosphorus after practices will all be remembered.

But, no matter how great a show is, there will still be a time to close the curtain and say goodbye.

Folks, thanks alot for the efforts. I admit that I really had a great time working with u guys towards creating a miracle, a great play which rocked the whole hall.

Imperial Mnight 2010 = 5 months of efforts, 2 days of performaces, 3 hours of hard work and a lifetime to remember the moments we had, deep down in our heart.

So, sadly to say, THE END-lar. =D

优美词句

偶然，读到朋友MSN的personal message:

爱一个人，并不需要对方是多么的棒，或多么多么的优秀，
只要跟他／她在一起时，感到安全，幸福，轻松。

爱一个人，并不是挑最好的，而是挑一个最适合自己的人。

新年沉思

连续两年，都无法回乡过年。

去年是为了留在蕉赖UCSI闭门苦读，应付考试；今年呢，却身在异乡，无法回去。同样的是，依然是为了学业。

吃团圆饭时呼喊，坐在庭院外守夜、接财神，与表兄弟姐妹一起谈天说笑，这一切，唯有追忆回两年前的情景，而慢慢咀嚼。

忽然，想起小学时，通常老师都会在新年前两个星期，在音乐课里，叫我们唱新年歌曲。

“每条大街小巷，每个人的嘴里，见面第一句话，就是恭喜恭喜。。”

当年的喜悦和期待，仍然历历在目。

中学时，虽然没有老师唱歌，却也有学校的广播学会，播放新年歌，举办挥春比赛。还记得，一月虽然已经开学，读书的心情，却是在新年假期回来后，才会慢慢培养出来。

春满人间的喜气洋洋，让人向往。

来到这里，春节没有什么特别。毕竟是别人的国家嘛，是有点儿难的。新年歌曲？自己download吧。哈哈。

新年的跫音虽然已近，却丝毫没有什么感觉。反而，要为课业上的问题而烦恼，再加上天气不测风云，下的雪，又好像下雨酱，搞到整个春节，冷冷清清，安安静静。

不知道，大马那边的朋友，最近又如何了呢？拜年的习俗，最为津津乐道就是当初和一班朋友，驾着自家的Kancil,兜完整个芙蓉。

在此，祝贺大家，“虎年行大运” =）

感触：文字与音乐

最近都用英文来写部落格，突然之间，又好像有如此的矛盾，到底应该把整个部落格转换为英文，亦或是华文，还是延续现在的双语并用，不伦不类。

但是，还是那句，用中文来书写抒情文章，无论如何，应该比较贴切。

今晚去看了King's College London 的大马之夜- Love Song for No One，一股感触涌上心来，似曾相识的梦，在动听的音乐和浪漫式的剧本交织下，特别美妙。

那舞剧里，纯纯的情，淡淡的香，就像那可爱的蜜蜂，耐心的飞舞着，等待那花苞绽放的时刻。

微微的雨滴，着落在朦胧的友情，在那线上徘徊，犹豫着越过的可能性。

漫步中的缓慢，并不是故意的，而是不知不觉中，像春暖花开般，那么自然，那么怡人。

我相信，有文字的世界，必定有音乐的存在。只因，没了音乐，文字就像深夜在伦敦地铁里，黯然看着窗口的搭客；没了文字，音乐，就像没有观众的演奏会。

爱上文字的，爱上音乐的，想必都是抒情之友，性情中人。
