再見了, 阿法迪斯! Goodbye A-Hair-Deus!

Crowd Lu (盧廣仲) is one of my favorite Taiwanese singers.
He is not only a singer but also a good composer who wrote many popular songs in teenage and young adult generations in Taiwan, even China.


I translated one song of Crowd Lu's latest album which released on 15th July, 2011, called "再見了, 阿法迪斯! Goodbye A-Hair-Deus!"


I really like this song, so I translated it for fun and introduce it to some friends who don't speak Mandarin Chinese.


Actually the song is written by Crowd Lu's memory of his hair. However, it touches me in a different way since it reminds me of many lost stuff...in which include many categories...


Now, listen to it, and write me your feeling about this song below!!! 
and 
Hope you enjoy it as well   :)

English Version- Goodbye A-Hair-Deus 
(Translated by YuChieh Liu)


The horizen is too far to be seem
My hair is too long and it really needs to be cut


The scissor opened their arms
I wanna tell my lover goodbye


My hair is a little bit dark
But it can protect me from ultraviolet rays


Golden or Pink
Green is very pretty as well
But unfortunately, I cannot see you turning that ways in the future


Goodbye A-Hair-Deus goodbye
Pillow and I will be here waiting for you


However, where is my lost friend?
Is he drunk now or turning into the ocean?


Goodbye A-Hair-Deus goodbye
My regret will only have stayed for a week
Finally, it will take my devil smile and soul away 
And fly...


A-Hair-Deus goodbye
Bye bye


Chinese Version (Written by Crowd Lu 盧廣仲)


看不到地平線　頭髮太長要剪
剪刀張開雙臂　再見了心愛欸


我頭髮有點黑　阻擋好多紫外線
金色還是粉紅色　亞麻的綠色也美
可惜來不及看到你改變


再見了阿法迪斯　Goodbye
我會跟枕頭等你回來
你失去的同伴現在　會在喝酒還是變成了海


再見了阿法迪斯　Goodbye
遺憾只會維持一個禮拜
帶走我微笑邪惡的靈魂　飛
阿法迪斯　Goodbye
Bye　Bye

I want MORE

I want more, the life I have now doesn't rich me enough at all.

I took a 18 hour flight from Taiwan to the U.S. 11 months ago, I was supposed to do more than just studying.

So I set up the goal for staying at the U.S.

Not only do I have to rich my resume by studying in a new field which I need it for job hunting in the future,

But I also want to create some special experience that no one in the world has the same one.

However, the BIG question is,

 

"What will be that Unique and Important experience here in the States?"

No one can answer it but myself

that's the reason that I'm going to keep chasing...   

 :) Big Smile !!

Something Back to Taipei City

In the early summer, I walked myself from a 24-hour bookstore back to my tiny college dorm in Taipei City.


The road I walked on with 8 lanes, it was wide in this narrow but big city.


It was almost midnight, but the city was still awake by the lights from some shops' window and road lamps.
Also, the city couldn't fall asleep by these passing cars and these  busy cabs. 


I breathed the most precious moment after being stirred all day, and thought about I would be back to my tiny dorm room.


I tried to slow my steps to reduce the time I should spend in my dorm with others,
my steps were so light, even forgetting all my assignments and tests behind...


I felt safe in this familiar city, 
I felt free to speak everything.

Friends

Friends


I knew where you were
Somewhere between blue sky and golden sand.


I screamed out all my troubles 
but they swayed in my mind
until I knew you were nowhere but here.
The distance that I could talk to you through my eyes.


And......now, all these troubles deposited without a sound 
because you are my friends.

My Private Drawer

Putting some important moments in my private drawer

Open, Put them in, and Close

Sometimes I opened my private drawer to check some parts of them

Some of which are messy to organize...

Some of which are hard to remember...

Some of which are painful to regret...

So... I close my private drawer again 

And being ready to smile again.

Happy Birthday, Doris!

Yesterday, May 21st,  is one of my best friends' birthday.

"Happy Birthday, Doris!"
I said that only in my mind last night.

I always started to count down of mines on your birthday.
The things that didn't change is that,
in this year, yours still made me reminding of mines.

I miss you and these days we had spent together.
However, we haven't keep in touch for a long time.

You know why?

Becasue you had changed a lot...and I...

I think I had, too.

Summarizing My Recently Life in United States

My Eye

I hoped I could have had rich eyelashes when I was a teenager, 

but NOW I am trying to teach myself that appreciating what you already have.

One game

After having taken tests, 

I was ready to scream!

My laptop

Cannot get rid of it, 

one of my partner in communication and learning.

Favorite landscape

I was born in summer, 

that's why I prefer summer beaches to winter mountain.

My favorite cloth

To reduce my problems, 

I like my clothes with plain colors.

One thing I spend the most time with

Any types of learning! 

Keep thinking, keep growing.

My Alarm Clock

He is terribly good at waking me up every morning.

Various strategies such as stepping on my face or whatever.

Food I always eat

These are egg tarts and Pu'er and Chrysanthemum tea,
