Feeling quite dandy in this outfit. Lately I enjoy wearing suits and tie. Well, basically I like to be a bit unpredictable in outfits. Why only where this or that? Why stick to one style?

Papa, can you hear me sing 酒矸倘賣無

June 25th, 2008


About this movie, pointed out some time ago by Jordan, I wrote in my blog before: “In short this KTV gives an idea of the movie and it already touched me. I surely would like to watch this movie with subtitles. But where to find it? I guess at Yesasia”. And indeed I did find it on YesAsia. Great service btw. The first order didn’t arrive and they immediately send me a new one. This evening I watched it. Although an old movie with lots of eighties sentiments and “over the top” performance, it’s very touching and worth watching. I nearly cried…

《搭错车》(English name is “Papa, can you hear me sing?” or “Riding the wrong car”). The movie is roughly as follows: A mute and retired soldier in Taiwan relied on collecting garbage. One winter morning in 1958, he found an abandoned baby girl, and he named her Ah-Mei. Because of this, his wife left him. Therefore he has to be the father and mother for that baby girl. They both struggled daily poverty. However, for Ah-Mei, he was willing to work more and whistle to her from time to time. Ah-Mei graduated from high school and decided to work as a singer in a pub. Her talent was recognized and acknowledged by a famous song writer. The music company wanted to sign a contract with her. Ah-Mei really wanted to earn more money for her mute “father”. So, she has decided to sign the contract, but she didn’t know this contract was going to stop her from ever seeing her garbage-collecting poor father. Ah-Mei has become more famous everyday. However, her father has fallen sick because he missed Ah-Mei so much. Unfortunately she couldn’t go see him and she was holding a concert. So, she sang this song 《酒矸倘賣嘸》knowing that her father was listening to her via radio. The song began with “Without you, where am I. If you never fed me, gave me love, if you never protected me, what would become of me?…” He was slowly loosing his breathe while listening to the song, and slowly passed away. Ah-Mei was holding her tears in her eyes and finished the song…

Where Do Homosexuals Get All Their Energy?

June 23rd, 2008

Now that’s a question that needs to be answered:

Boy, am I beat. And it’s not like I have some crazy life where I’m working three jobs and going to night school. No, I just have one job and a small apartment. I don’t even have a pet to look after. Even so, it seems that no matter what I do, there’s always more. If they put another eight hours in the day, I might be able to catch up on the laundry list of chores I have, or even just my laundry, if I were lucky. But you know who really gets it done? Homosexuals.

By Brandon Kelly on The Onion

I know it’s surely not something I can relate to. I don’t feel that kind of energy at all.
