Uncaged
Can't wait for 6 August to arrive, but at the same time, it would mean that the start of school would be around the corner. This vacation hasn't been very fruitful but I enjoy the random meet-ups here and then. Came across an article on Time magazine ranking Bangkok as the 6th best city in the world to visit. Blown away by the text. Man, such vivid descriptions should be the way to go, captivating readers and enticing them to travel.
(From http://time.com/3948406/world-best-cities/)After a year of unrest, Bangkok has been restored to the World’s Best list, where it clung to the No. 1 spot from 2010 to 2013. Bustle may be an understatement here, where sweet and spicy street food perfumes the avenues and gilded Buddhist temples stand in dramatic juxtaposition to slick skyscrapers. It’s frenetic, colorful, and a curious amalgamation of past and present: tuk-tuks and monks clad in saffron-hued robes fill the streets at dawn, their reflections cast in the steel and glass high-rises. At night, head to Sukhumvit Soi 38 for an equally vibrant street-side feast, where pedestrians elbow up to tables for fat rice noodles, mango sticky rice, and pathong ko (Thai doughnuts) with pandan leaf custard. Seize a moment of serenity at the Wat Suthat temple, the Himalayan-style art gallery, Serindia, or on a long-tail boat tour along the Chao Phraya River.
I miss writing narrative essays, rather than proving bijectivity of a function and whatnot. I wanna travel. Opportunities come to me. Addicted to a new song now: Tove Lo's Talking Body. The lyrics aren't impressive but it is a good song to help unwind.
It's pretty easy to find more meaningful lyrics in Chinese songs, like the one below. It talks about a person enjoying his fruits of hard labor.
那姑娘半顶着妆 身手漂亮 皮黄嘴上流浪
那两人说带着闹 歌舞齐发 百花手上飞扬
年岁的河已三百趟 那江水走遍大街小巷
不管是生旦净末丑 跑龙套也能让你激昂
宁愿舍一顿饭也听你唱
可能忙了又忙 可能伤了又伤
可能无数眼泪 在夜晚尝了又尝
可是换来成长 可是换来希望
如今我站在台上 和你一起分享
那珍珠开在东方 异国芬芳 天鹅顶上荡漾
那文化活在日常 英雄好汉 梆子曲上争仗
将心灵的面具涂画 那角色穿越时空长廊
不管是冰雪与风霜 哪个断肠人在水一方
消磨这一身魂也陪你闯
可能忙了又忙 可能伤了又伤
可能无数眼泪 在夜晚尝了又尝
可是换来成长 可是换来希望
如今我站在台上 这么对你讲
十年的功聚成灿烂 那一分钟的梦
生命舞台发光的人 绝不是只会说
可能忙了又忙 可能伤了又伤
可能无数眼泪 在夜晚尝了又尝
可是换来成长 可是换来希望
如今我站在台上
可能耗尽坚强 可能历经沧桑
可能我的疯狂 暂时不得到原谅
可是我知道啊 可是我明白啊
是我的执著搏来 在你面前歌唱
唱着我的幻想 唱着我的荒唐
唱着与你分享 打通我们的窗
