你的KTV必點歌是什麼?

星期六下午邊聽我的iPOD nano 邊大掃除
在清完廚房及吸完客廳地板後
愜意的躺在沙發上, 隨著iPOD 裡粱靜茹的精選集的歌唱了起來
沒有人在家...所以我也唱的大聲
一輪的粱靜茹在忙碌的掃除及悠閒的沙發上很快就聽完了
正在唱歌興頭上的我
馬上又選了彭佳慧的歌
我喜歡彭佳慧的聲音 雖然她的歌我並不是大部分都喜歡
但是她的一首歌卻是我從大三或大四以來的KTV必點歌
即使在這幾年手指頭數的出來的KTV次數
彭佳慧的"聽說愛情回來過" 是我的KTV 必點歌 (原唱是林憶蓮)
我想以後也會是吧

其實我這首歌唱的並不好...因為我的音域窄
可是 不知為什麼
總是對歌詞裡那種 "遺憾"的 bittersweet 所感動
或許也是彭佳慧的那種淡淡哀愁的詮釋方式吧

在找MV的過程...發現原來蔡依琳也有翻唱
真是不予置評呀
還是喜歡彭佳慧和林憶蓮版本
不過我比較喜歡彭佳慧的

歌詞如下:

在朋友那兒聽說　痴心的你曾回來過
想請他替我向你問候　只為了怕見了說不出口
你對以往的感觸還多不多　曾讓我心碎的你　我依然深愛著

在朋友那兒聽說　痴心的你曾找過我
我要他幫我對你隱瞞　只是怕見了面會更難過
我對以往的感觸還那麼多　曾給我幸福的你　我依然深深愛著

有一種想見不敢見的傷痛
有一種愛還埋藏在我心中　我只能把你放在我的心中
這一種想見不敢見的傷痛
讓我對你的思念越來越濃　我卻只能把你　把你放在我心中

對你的聲音　你的影　你的手　我發誓說我沒有忘記過
而關於你選擇了現在的他　我只能說我有些難過　我也真心真意的等過

My bags are packed, I'm ready to go

Ok, guess what song I've had in my head the last few days? It may sound a little cheesy, but I couldn't help it. I'll give you a hint -- it started when all my bags were packed two days ago. Another big hint, I'm leaving on a plane tomorrow, and yes, it is a jet plane.

As I said, I couldn't help it, my bags have been sitting there at the end of the bed staring at me for two days. I should say, though, that 'leaving on a jet plane' isn't technically all that appropriate for my situation. It's about separation, but in my case I'm flying toward the opposite of that. I haven't seen my wife in 6 weeks, and with friends and family members it's been about 9 1/2 months. I think it's needless to say that I have been looking forward to this point for quite some time. It will certainly be good to have a 'normal' lifestyle again with my own apartment where I'm able to see my wife on a day-to-day basis. Ahh, such fond memories of those days. As I'm writing this, YT was just on-line chatting with me about favorite food she's bought and special dishes she is going to make, where she wants to go out for dinner when I get back, and the plans she's making for my return. I really can't wait to be home.

Still, the song seems somewhat poignant. Maybe it's just the melody, or maybe because I already am separated, perhaps. Either way, when you've been gone so long, it's never just a simple matter of an eager return. Over the past few weeks, as the list of 'last-experiences' started piling up, my eagerness has been tempered somewhat by the realization of things I've appreciated and will miss. I started to mull over a list... the kids screaming 'Brian Yizhang!' (uncle Brian) when I come home, formal(ish) dinners out with the family, eating fish everyday, the NPR podcasts on my hour-long commute home, meeting and interviewing all different kinds of people, and so on. It always felt incomplete and superficial, though, and never fully captured the strange level of sadness (in my jubilance) I feel about going home. Today, I think I finally understand what I will miss the most, and that is, language learning and the growth in relationships that provides. Allow me to explain.

I've always felt that the learning curve of studying a language abroad is steep and easy to perceive. It's almost addicting. At first you feel like a child, but you gradually adapt and change, and months later you're able to express your ideas as, well, a junior high school student at least. The point is, you can see with a moment's reflection just how far you've come, and how what had been interesting and exotic is now secondhand. I love that feeling and sense of 'growth'. When I first came here, although I had proficiency in Chinese and was able to communicate for my purposes, it was difficult to follow natural rates of conversation when the speaker was not directly addressing me. Now, that's not such of a problem. This has made a great difference in the degree to which I can participate more fully in the culture, in my surroundings, and more particulary, within YT's family.

For example, the other night, YT's parents took me out to dinner. It was Thursday night, so they didn't have to pick up the grandkids from school before their mom came to get them. Since it was one of my last evenings, they decided to take me to a very nice Japanese restaurant rather than just stay at home. To be honest, I had felt a bit of trepidation about it at first. It is seldom just the three of us, and I wasn't sure how it would go. I had a wonderful time with them, though. We talked about US politics, raising bi-racial kids, dad's experiences at work under a new administration, their plans to stay with us in the US for a month or so (at some future point), and of course their daughter (my wife). They also said they're glad that YT gets along so well with my family, and that they don't really worry about her when I'm there with her. It was nice to hear that.

Essentially, my point is that it felt great to be able to communicate with them more naturally, and to feel so comfortable doing so. It seems that, over the last few weeks at least, I've been able to appreciate things here much more fully. I feel that with greater proficiency I can be more of a participant in the family, rather than, to put it coldly, a foreign exchange student of sorts. The ironic thing is that, just as this is happening, it's time for me to leave. Last night my 5 year old nephew was crying because he didn't want me to go back to the US (he's rather sentimental). When he hugged me goodbye, I really didn't know what to say. I know that I will really miss being an uncle, and having the opportunity to watch the kids change even more than they have over this last 9 1/2 months. I will also miss being a brother- and son-in-law as well, and I wish I had more opportunity to communicate even more proficiently with them all. Perhaps that will come with more time and advanced learning. Right now, of course, and more importantly, it will feel wonderful to be a full-time husband again (among other roles). I think that pretty much sums things up.

I have one last dinner out with the family tonight, and this time that includes YT's aunts and cousins and the cousin and his family who I rode with to school every morning. With that, the last day of my lengthy stay in Taiwan will draw to a close. Tomorrow at early morn, I'll be on my way : )

See you all, or at least some of you, soon.
BB

P.S. I love you

這部電影上映的時候
我其實一點興趣都沒有
雖然稍稍有被電影的簡介給感動了一下
但是心想....不過又是一片有點感人的愛情電影罷了
回到美國後 想說趁布先生還沒回美前
租些他應該不會想看的DVD來看
P.S. I love you 就是我的首選了

故事的內容是這樣的
Holly (Hillary Swank)與Gerry一見鍾情(Gerard Butler)，熱戀後在短時間內結為夫妻，沈浸在幸福的婚姻中，再邁入第九年的婚姻時, Gerry重病而過世了，相當了解Holly的Gerry在過世前留下的十封書信，這些書信在他死後之後每隔一段時間, 會以不同方式送到Holly的手中, Gerry希望幫助Holly忘掉傷痛走出自己的人生，他在每封信的結尾都寫下了”P.S. I love you"....

in case you want to see 我不想透露太多細節...
乍聽之下覺得很詭異吧...
不過這部片卻是出乎我意料的好看
這些信 帶領著Holly 回顧他們的感情
去找回當初Gerry fell in love 的那個 Holly

我不是哪種非常感性的人
卻也是從頭到尾哭到不能自己
好險是在家裡看的 所以自己一個人放肆的讓情緒釋出
Don't get me wrong 這不是一齣大悲劇
而是一部讓你的情緒在不斷在淚水與笑聲中交錯的電影

Gerard Butler把Gerry演的深情到不像話
我想很女生都會希望有一個這樣風趣, 深情又帶點不羈的老公吧
我深深覺得這應該也是在虛構世界裡才會發生吧
不過 失去自己摯愛的人到底有多痛呢?
我不知道 也不想知道

試著回想過去的戀情
那段會偶而懷念的卻已經永遠失去的戀情
當時我心裡有多痛?? 他的心裡又有多痛??
不過 這似乎不能相提並論
因為失去的是那段感情及友情
至少知道 他並沒有從這個世界上消失
至少知道 他也有著自己的幸福
可是...這有不同嗎??

或許
當在沒有選擇下而失去摯愛的人 才是最痛的吧
當自己抉擇放下或離開一段感情的時候 已經有了面對傷痛的勇氣及準備
所以 痛的程度不同吧??!!
我想是這樣吧??!!

Anyway
看戲的是傻子
大概就是在說我吧~~
我要在布先生回來後再租一次給他看
想知道男生對於這部片有什麼感覺

還有我已經被深情的Gerard Butler 給迷住了
再加上他濃濃的蘇格蘭腔
已經把我的George Clooney 比下去了
看樣子我可要來好好follow 一下 Gerard Butler 了
