My life, My memory, My dream: Music and Lyrics

A simple-looking poster, but the show was not simple at all...

"Mamma Mia, here I go again. My my, how can I resisit you?" That's right.. How can I resist it? Mamma Mia musical show was a show I decided that I must go after the movie. The movie actually quite impressed me as truthfully speaking, I never really did enjoy muscial-type-of-movies. This is one is an exceptional I must say. ABBA songs were nice, and I really couldn't believe I actually know so many of them!

The story takes place on a mythical Greek island, and centres around a young girl, Sophie who dreams of her father giving her away at the altar. Problem is, she never knew who her father was, and there were 3 possible candidates - and has invited them all to the wedding. Sophie's mum, Donna was involved in a rock chick band in the past - "Donna and the Dynamos" and has invited her former band members (also her best friends) to the wedding. Complications aroused when the 3 possible dads showed up and turned Donna's mood upside down...

Songs sung during the musical were "I Have A Dream", "Thank You for the Music", "Dancing Queen", "The Winner Takes It All", "Super Trouper", and a lot a lot more... I was so reluctant to leave when the show ended, hoping that there is an encore or something. But, I knew this is impossible because it's a musical show, not a concert.

Musical show means we have to wear nicely, not those shorts or sandals which we went to concerts. It's lucky I wore semi-formal - there were people who bought damn expensive tickets wearing evening gowns + high heels, shirts with ties + coats over it...

Musical show means the venue is somewhere more elegant than usual, this time at Istana Budaya (my 1st time there..), with strong air-conditoner which made me shivered during the show. ><

Musical show means comfortable with cushioned chairs and leveled tiers which made me watched in ease. There those "boxes" only for VVIPs which I only saw existed in movies..

Musical show also means meeting lots of rich people - people who drove BMWs, Benz, etc.., watching a show costs more than a month of my pocket-money (or perhaps 2 or 3 or 4 months of my pocket-money).

Way Back Into Love
I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need them again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's gotta be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I wanna do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

**********************************************************************************************************************

Like how the lyrics I've posted, I need a way badly to search for my love again...
Of all the events happened, I've lost confidence in love after all. Too many bad examples occurred around me and my friends. I even have the thinking of "Guys are just not reliable!" Oh gosh... Even without all these examples, I guess I've trapped myself in my very own experience for too long and can't seem to move on. There might be someone out there who's treating me quite fine, but I just can't find the way to accept new things, new relationship, a new love. There's no way to open up my heart once again. It might be I'm still waiting for my 'the one' before I could pick up my courage to love again, to build my confidence again. This song makes me searching the feel to love and being loved for the first time. I'm missing the feelings of loving someone secretly... being jealous of little things... caring someone unknowingly ... guessing the thoughts of each other's.. falling in love for the first time...
Now I understand why some people said, when your first love comes along, and when it disappears, all these feelings will disappear altogether. That's because after the experience of first love, be it bitter or sweet, one will not be stupid enough to love secretly again...

不瞞你說　我真的有想過　從今以後不再跟你　有任何聯絡
Not to hide the truth from you, there's once when I really thought of not to have any connection with you from now onwards.

不要再試著暗示我　後來你發現甚麼

Do not try to hint me on what you've realized afterwards.

不瞞你說　並不特別寂寞　接下來的幾個週末　節目特別多
Not to hide the truth from you, actually I don't really feel lonely. For the few weekends ahead, my schedule are especially full.

偶而會有人喜歡我　但並不代表甚麼
Sometimes, there are someone who likes me. But that doesn't mean anything.

現在的我　不缺甚麼　認真的生活　偶而會難過

The present me does not lack of anything. I lead my life seriously, and I get sad sometimes.

新朋友很多　他們不夠瞭解我 (他們都不瞭解我)
There are many new friends, they don't understand me enough ( They don't understand me )

問了太多　我只是微笑的帶過
When they asked too much, I will just smile and move on.

未來的我　沒有如果　不相信星座　能預告甚麼
The future me doesn't have what if, doesn't believe that horoscope can predict anything.

假設那麼多　過去會不會復活　最好沒有如果
Speculating too much, will the past comes alive again. It's best there's no what if.

不瞞你說　經過幾次風波　你不能再從我臉上　讀出些甚麼

Not to hide the truth from you, after going through few obstacles, you can no longer read the expressions from my face.

要適應的事越來越多　改變的不止是我

There are a lot of things that I need to adapt to. I'm not the only one who's changing.

假設那麼多　過去能不能來過　我不相信如果
Speculating too much, will the past repeat itself. I don't believe in what if.

我最近很喜欢的一首歌。特别点给
曾经假如我的生活里的你，而且把我改变了。谢谢你。：）
A song which I like recently. Specially dedicated to the one person who's once entered my life and had changed me in someway. Thank you. :)

p/s: I purposely translated it, for the convenience of some of my loyal readers cum friends. ^^ (Please bear in mind that I only literally translated the whole lyrics)

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit the new low
You're faking the smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need carryin' on

Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Will you need a blue sky holiday?
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on

Sometimes the system goes on a blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong

So where is the passion where you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

In fact this song doesn't sound like I'm having a bad day. But the fact is, I really had a bad day. It is my sky which is fading into gray. It is my passion that is disappearing. My sadness and disappointment is so obviously written on my face that I couldn't even fake out a smile. I lost my appetite and couldn't find a way to gain back my confidence.
I worried my friends but is relieved they are there for me. Especially to a couple of girls who accompanied me throughout. And also to my dear.. Without you, I would be so lost.
I locked myself in the room once I reached home, and silently cried for a while. Then I cleared up my mind and told mum what had happened. She was understanding and comforted me all the way.
I never know what have I done to deserve such good parents and friends, but I'm sure glad to have done it.
To Denise: I promise that I'll be fine. Don't worry too much about me.
To jean Wei: Thank you for the accompany. Don't worry, I'll think of you very often. :)
To others: Sorry for causing such worries around you guys. I appreciate you all.
To my dear: I know you'll be here with me. I'm glad that I know you all along. *hugs*
