Reflection

Just want to share a song in this post which has been one of my favourite songs since young. The theme song from the Disney movie - "Mulan". I may seem to have forgot the reason of falling in love with this song, but one thing that never change is that I never get annoyed or bored to listen it even though I have listened for hundred of times. :)

Reflection from "Mulan"

by Christina Aguilera / Coco Lee

Look at me

You may think you see

who I really am

But you'll never know me

Every day

It's as if I play a part

Now I see

If I wear a mask

I can fool the world

But I cannot fool

my heart

Who is that girl I see

Staring straight back at me?

When will my reflection show

who I am inside?

I am now in a world

where I have to

hide my heart

And what I believe in

But somehow

I will show the world

what's inside my heart

And be loved for who I am

Who is that girl I see

staring straight back at me?

Why is my reflection

someone I don't know?

Must I pretend that I'm

someone else for all time?

When will my reflection show

who I am inside?

There's a heart that must

be free to fly

That burns with a need

to know the reason why

Why must we all conceal

What we think

How we feel?

Must there be a secret me

I'm forced to hide?

I won't pretend that I'm

someone else

For all time

When will my reflection show

who I am inside?

When will my reflection show

who I am inside?

I can only found the Christina Aguilera version for the video, although I used to listen to Coco's version. But there is a surprise though, that is I found the Chinese Mandarin version in Youtube while I am actually search for Coco's version. So, here it is, I will share it here as well. Hope you all will like it. :)

Reflection (Chinese Mandarin version)

by Coco Lee

仔细的 看著波光中清晰的倒影

是另一个自己

他属於 我最真实的表情

不愿意 生活中掩饰真心敷衍了

爱我的人的眼睛

我 心中的自己

每一秒 都愿意

为爱放手去追寻

用心去珍惜

隐藏在 心中每一个真实的心情

现在释放出去

我想要 呈现世界前更有力量的

更有勇气的生活

我 眼中的自己

每一天 都相信

活的越来越像我爱的自己

我心中的自己

每一秒 都愿意

为爱放手去追寻

用心去珍惜

只有爱里才拥有

自由气息

诚实 面对自己才有爱的决心

我 眼中的自己

每一天 都相信

活的越来越像我爱的自己

我心中的自己

每一秒 都愿意

为爱放手去追寻

去珍惜 去爱

为爱放手去追寻

用心去珍惜

Basically, I like the music and also found that the lyics is meaningful. I do agree that sometimes a song tells the story. Hope you all like it too. Cheers!! :)

Fate

I am not a superstitious person, but somehow I still hold some belief in fate and destiny. Even though I don't really buy the idea of destined life, still I can't deny the existence of the affection of unknown power. I am not religious over it, just that I believe one's value like determination, persistence, trustworthy, patience, loving, faith and etc have decided one's success in his life. No matter what, as long as you work hard and hold faith in it, one will never get too far from success. :)

There is once, my friend told me, "There is always something that you can't attain, regardless of how hard you work for it. Sometimes things just not meant to be yours. Learn to accept the failure in life even though its bitter and let go." I don't use to accept words like that as it sounds harsh for me. As I used to believe that "When theres a will, theres always a way." So over and over again, I have work hard to prove that I am right. Now that I have succeed and showed that I can do it if I study harder, I can get good grades too.

Sadly it doesn't work well on other things. Other things like relationship and friendship. Salary and good grades will be awarded if I work hard and concentrate in class. But will I get the equal payback if I work hard on friendship and love too?

I sound stupid now and I am fooling myself around for asking silly questions like these. I know the answer is a BIG NO NO. Friendship and Love are feelings that grew by days through caring and loving among people. It can't be calculate using a maths formula, there will never be a fair game. One shouldn't be calculative if you are to gain a good friendship or long-lasting couple.

I have been thinking of these lately. Am I being too calculative towards friends? Am I being too demanding over a relationship? Sometimes I feel like I was being treated as a nobody. Just because I am trying to be considerate and choose not to voice out. I am tired to think on behalf of the others before myself. Do you understand me? The thought of stay-or-leave keep struggling in my mind. I just wish that you would understand more.

May be fate really does exist, even though its unseen and unreachable. I believe its been around us always. Fate made us best friends. Fate has brought us together and let us work it out ourself to the end. Should I still keep faith in it? I need to be convinced that I should, as I am slowly losing it now. Before the fate has also tear us apart.
