終わりなくつづく歌

I'm absolutely hooked on Japanese rock bands now. I think their lyrics are absolutely poetic, and sometimes, they can even get quite graphic as well. When coupled with the amazing guitar riffs, i think they're so darn emotionally charged & liberating that i just want to shout out 'Freeeeddomm' (a la William Wallace)

Voila, a couple of stanzas from 太陽は夜も輝く(the sun also shines at night) by Wino.

この太陽は夜も輝いて　夢を見る
そして急ぐ君の目に　焼き付いてはなれない

終わりなくつづく歌　想いさえ越えてゆく
君の目に映るように　胸の奥開けたまま

No pics this time round; tried to take an artistic shot of my Ibanez, but a black electric guitar with white as a background just does'nt make an interesting pic. If only my house has blood red walls...

Autumn Colours

Ying took some of the prettiest autumn pics i've seen in a while- Go check out her blog! Here's a sample:

Huangshan, China

Sadly, our trip to Huangshan in April turned out to be quite uneventful. It was really hazy, no blue skies, no pretty colours. Worse still, we did'nt get to see the sunrise, nor did we get to see the famed 'sea of clouds' spectacle. By themselves, i did'nt think our pictures were really nice, so here i am trying to do a little editing, making this one look like a chinese ink painting.

Beautiful Philippines

Somehow or rather, the Philippines just does'nt seem to be a hot spot for travelling to us Singaporeans, even though it's about the same distance away as Thailand. I reckon it's because of the frequent demonstrations, or maybe the riots, the reports on terrorist group activites, social insecurity etc etc... but hey, Shirley did come back, and with some of the prettiest photos i've seen of the South East Asian region.
