    Le Festin by Camille & Michael Giacchino



    French lyrics:

    Les rêves des amoureux sont comm’(e) le bon vin
    Ils donn(ent) de la joie ou bien du chagrin
    Affaibli par la faim je suis malheureux
    Volant en chemin tout ce que je peux
    Car rien n’est gratuit dans la vie

    L’espoir est un plat bien trop vite consommé
    A sauter les repas je suis habitué
    Un voleur solitaire est triste à nourrir
    A un jeu si amer je n’peux réussir
    Car rien n’est gratuit dans…

    La vie… Jamais on ne me dira
    Que la course aux étoiles; ça n’est pas pour moi
    Laissez moi vous émerveiller et prendre mon en vol
    Nous allons en fin nous régaler

    La fêt(e) va enfin commencer
    Sortez les bouteilles; finis les ennuis
    Je dresse la table, de ma nouvell(e) vie
    Je suis heureux à l’idée de ce nouveau destin
    Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
    Le festin est sur mon chemin

    Une vie à me cacher et puis libre enfin
    Le festin est sur mon chemin

    Translation to english:

    Dreams are to lovers as wine is to friends
    Carried through lifetimes, (and) spilled now and then
    I am driven by hunger, so saddened to be
    Thieving in darkness; I know you’re not pleased
    But nothing worth eating is free

    My hope is a banquet impatiently downed
    Impossibly full, now I’ll probably drown
    Many thieves’ lives are lonely with one mouth to feed
    If giving means taking, I’ll never succeed
    For nothing worth stealing is…

    Free at last; won’t be undersold
    Surviving isn’t living; won’t eat what I’m told
    Let me free, I’ll astonish you; I’m planning to fly
    I won’t let this party just pass me by

    The banquet is now underway, so…
    Bring out the bottles; a new tale has spun
    In clearing this table, my new life’s begun
    I am nervous, excited; (oh) just read the marquee!
    A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
    My dinner is waiting for me.

    A lifetime of hiding; I’m suddenly free!
    My dinner is waiting for me.

    Since ages i've last updated..

    And yes, i am back once again and i realised that Chinese New Year is OVER! Not only that, common test also OVER too! But this is BAD because i don't think i'm doing well for my tests at all. BOOOHOOO! It's ok, learn from the mistakes and the main important exam to focus is O LEVELS! Going to be March soon and soon.. soon. soon.. oh my god, this is fast!

    Wondering what i've been doing for the past 2 weeks? Well, mention 1 at the top, common test and yah, this common test is tough. Didn't really do much as my life is boring. I refused to get out of the house. Sticking my butt on the sofa watching tv. However, past 2 week, on the fridays, me and my girlfriends did something special. Heh heh, the MAJONG craze! The best part was we played till like 9pm? 10pm? NON-STOP. And yah, first friday i was the ultimate loser! I LOST 4 bucks! And the 2nd friday, although i am not the ultimate loser, but i still lose 7 bucks! All folks said "Beginning, you paid to learn, after that you will the be the expert winning." Yah, started to know majong well and the next round of MAJONG, WAHAHAHA! I will WIN! Well, this is all about fun and gambling among good friends does no harm as the WINNER got to treat the losers 1 week of drinks. So what's the different? Having lots of fun, corny jokes, singing in the very awful tune, eating non-stop. Gotta relax from schooling! =)

    Family portrait

    Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year and surposely, we should take our family photo on the first day. Because we started the day "quite" late, end up didn't take a single shot. So today, we took and it turned out quite horribly. Well, who cares anyway and i'm just sharing with you guys. HAHAHAHA! =)



    So random and natural, but i like it! =)

    "quite" - According to my mum, leaving the house around 9am is already consider very late because the temple would be filled up with 'colourful ants'. Totally true because when we reached there, my sister and i tried to get out the temple, the 'colourful ants' were so rough and pushing. Imagine, the joss sticks accidentally poke on to your head. So scary lah and thank god i'm short and skinny, able to slip through fast. We had learnt my lesson. First day must wake up early in order not to mix with many many 'colourful ants'. Correction, mostly red ants. XD

    Chinese New Year!

    Hmmm.. am i looking forward for chinese new year? The answer is a NO. For me, chinese new year is boring and yah, the only interesting part is the ang baos. Both side of my family doesn't gamble as either they're too mature or too young. Resorting to gambling is also no good too. All i do during visiting was to eat, stoned, smile. With my Mp3 and handphone, time definitely gone by faster. With the television, thats will be soo much better! Every year, my family always visit the same place and yah, need to travel alot and every year, my family never fail to argue in the car when we speak up how much we hated chinese new year and my parents always say that it is traditional and we have to follow because we are chinese.

    Definitely when i am so much older and i have my own family, i'll make sure that the family will not be in Singapore during Chinese New Year unless my family is equally close to everyone. Whats the point of visiting each other just 1 time in the year? In the future, when the 2 "not close" cousin see each other, maybe we can't even recongise each other or maybe its just saying hello and goodbye. No point! Meeting for less than 4hrs and always start with the same old topics, "what school are you from?" "you've grown taller and prettier!" "whats your name again?" Heh, but surprising, this year my dad's side, no one asked me at all! Yes, i feel so relieve right now.

    Thank god tomorrow's visiting are the closer ones. Going to our favourite DA JIU MA's house, eat lunch and play PSP or Playstation or watch movies with my older cousins and yah, plus some corny jokes from them too. Evening going to my ganma's house and yah, eat big feast! I love her cookings! I got a recollections that when i was young, around primary school p2 or p3, my sister and i always look forward to ganma's house because we always play hide and seek her the house and it was super fun! But now, we're old. I repeat, OLD! We tend to eat more and slack in the living room watching blockbuster movies and tomorrow, we are gonna do it the same too!

    My weekends gonna be free and yah, when i'm free, the rest are not. Quite irritating when time cannot match at all when my friends and i want to hang out together. I won't mind staying at home but this weekend will be pack with guests, i mean my relatives and i don't like entertaining them at all. Its not that i dislike them or despise them, just that i don't know how to entertain them with the whole house fill with noises and additional of little kids will bring nightmares! The aunties will the playing majongs and the uncles will be watching televisions or using the computer or laptops. Me, grounded with homeworks is impossible to stay at home and "do it". Must well, i rather go out and have fun instead.

    Well, see how it goes.. *sigh* whenever i think of chinese new year, i think about the scary O levels. Getting nearer and nearer each day and i am so not prepared for it. I guessed the rest also not prepared too but.. i just couldn't imagine myself taking the o levels result slip. *EEEEEK*
