Whacky Friday March 11th 2011

The room unexplored within a school that anna, carl, and i found was the new copy room. Over the past year, the old copy room was turned into another classroom.

Description: Large grey doors on the outside and very gloomy looking within....reminded me of a warehouse. It smelled a bit funny too....
Lights were dim until the back where it was bright but nothing so fancy like a normal classroom. The floors were grey toned like within a drive way at a car-auto repair shop. It just reminded me of a scene(the red toned one where the girl is trying to wake up from her dream but cannot) in the movie of "freddie and jason."

Wake Me Up!

Meaningful Lyrics:

繁华如三千东流水 (pinyin: fan hua ru san qian dong liu shui.)
我只取一瓢爱了解 (pinyin: wo zhi qu yi piao ai liao jie.)

只恋你化身的蝶 (pinyin: zhi lian ni hua shen de die.)

你发如雪 凄美了离别 (pinyin: ni fa ru xue / qi mei le li bie.)

我焚香感动了谁 (pinyin: wo fen xiang gan dong le shui.)

邀明月让回忆皎洁 (pinyin: yao ming yue rang hui yi jiao jie.)

爱在月光下完美 (pinyin: ai zai yue guang xia wan mei.)

Translation:

Grandeur is like three thousand waters flowing south
Yet I only choose a ladle of love to comprehend
Only long for your butterfly incarnation

Your hair is like snow, making our parting chillingly beautiful
Who's moved by my (offerings of) incense?
Inviting the full moon to highlight my memories
Love becomes pure beneath the moonlight

Association#1: I remember listening to this song after a couple years my mother passed, even though this song is of two lovers and hoping that this will not be the last time seeing them. In chinese culture, when a love one passes away; most chinese people believe that even if they are not in human form anymore, their spirit incarnates into an insect or an animal ( butterflies, moths, dragon flies, etc) to be with their families or friends to protect and watch over until they are willing to move on (re-carnation.) My mom passed away peacefully but I'm always so scared that I will forget about her, even to this day. Memories will always live on. I revisit this song every week ever since 2006( first time listening to this song ) to remind me that she will always be with me no matter what. I love her so and hope she knows that. 媽媽, 你在我心永恆，直到我的生命也就結束了.

Association#2: (This song is one of those songs that you cannot, cannot get out of your head after the first time listening to it. Then goes the "pressing the play button to death" x10. haha. This song is very popular in Asia because the feel of it is similar to olden days and meaningful lyrics along with it. also, it makes you think about life in general-> what the purpose in life is and those love ones around you. Even though this is an older song. ) It popped up the most last year(by coincidence): Summer 2010, I went to asia for the first time and this was one of the songs that they has on the international airplane. Taxi driver listened to it while driving from the airport to the hotel. Then I reheard this song back at the hotel on the AsiaMTV network two days after the arrival. It was so weird, so coincidental because this is an older song. It pops up in the car when I forgot that I placed it on the CD I made back in 2007. I listen to it when I have a bad day or argument with a friend (to cool down and think about what was wrong, why did we fight in the first place, was the fight worth breaking a friendship?), and the list can go on and on. This song is just very important in my life. You could say this song is sums up most of the things that has been/ is in my life. (:

Association#3: My cousin christina, one of my best friends ever since we were babies in the cribs, and I would play this song and sing along to it (in the car and when we hangout) each time a new season comes around each year(summer, fall, winter, spring.) Isn't that just dandy? hahah, we love jay chou and all of his songs but especially this one and also his other song 'Secret I cannot Tell' from a drama he filmed. We would go back to it during year or week if we just want to vent to each other about anything and everything too. I don't know, this song just has a huge impact on us and everything/ everyone that comes into our life. haha. :3 ^___^ It's just a song that brings people together and it also reminds us about our ethnicity/nationality plus culture too-> ( present day to way back in history. ) (>^.^<)
