Renaissance music.....

Borrowed this Hille Perl Doulce Memoire CD from esplanade. Hmmm... she plays the gamba... i wonder what's that? haha will leave that inquisition for after exams....

anyway found this interesting lyrics( of Jouissance vous donneray) on the cover. Its from a poem by Clement Marot.

Jouissance vous donneray

Jouissance vous donnerai,
Mon Ami, et si mènerai
A bonne fin votre espérance.
Vivante ne vous laisserai ;
Encore, quand morte serai,
L'esprit en aura souvenance.

Si pour moi avez du souci,
Pour vous n'en ai pas moins aussi,
Amour le vous doit faire entendre.
Mais s'il vous grève d'être ainsi,
Apaisez votre coeur transi :
Tout vient à point, qui peut attendre.

I will give you pleasure, my friend,
and will lead you there
where your hope desires.
Whilst I live I will not leave you,
and even when I am dead
my spirit will remember.

If you are worried about me,
I am no less worried about you.
Love should make you understand that.
But if it grieves you to be like this,
appease your troubled heart;
Everything comes to him who can wait.

Starting....Embarking......

It is a start, or rather starting anew from where you left off.

It is being lost only to find yourself back at where you previously detoured, and you can only offer affirmation that you will not fall back along that mistaken path again.

It is a moment of discovery, or rather re-discovering your self and friends that stand true before you.

There used to be this inner tension between who you want to be and who you really are. You thought that by leaving behind everything and being alone, you can rediscover your self again.

It is never occur to me that I am just afraid to face up to life. I was afraid to change, even if it is for the better. And so many things have transpired before I can grasp (what's going on) or even react.

To my friends, I am heartened and touched by what all of you have done for me. You have tried to guide me but I knew, I was too obsinate then.

Perhaps part of friendship means the recognition of what you so valued about that person and the imagination to carve out a special space for him or her in your mind.

I am thankful for the reflections and thoughts offered to me all these years, especially from - the gal who likes to dream of alarm clocks, the guy who fancies "a certain flower", the gal who just likes "turn left turn right", the guy who dun like the artistic and the guy who "cannot stop liking people".

Hope to share thoughts and "interesting" stuff through this blog.

ps: of coz, special thx to my sis !!
