Inspiration to Incompetence
October 7th, 2006 at 1:01 am (Daily Life, Songs)
I tried to write a Chinese song until I realized I have no songwriting ability and my Chinese is at the level of a first-grader in Taiwan (when I use a dictionary).
我還是愛著回憶中的你
才不想忘記曾經的甜蜜
我偷偷地欣賞你的優點
一直想著你每夜都失眠
你曾給的所有我不該放在心上
卻只能把過去的愛好好隱藏
我捨不得放開你的手
不肯承認我的愛不夠
So there you have it. Two stanzas filled with grammar issues that kind of rhyme (oh did I try…)
And if you’re wondering why I’m posting this when I think it’s crap, it’s because I need to save it somewhere for future revision (i.e. complete overhaul) and I need to use this weblog more often (killing two birds with one stone - the goriest idiom to date).
I like parentheses.
I hate college applications.
So freaking irrelevant.

If you have not song writing ability then I am illiterate; And I don’t see any grammar mistakes cause my chinese is even worse than yours. At least I understood what I read.

Oh and by the way, I the site switch between three themes. Was that supposed to happen?

Haha, I was experimenting but I still like the theme I have now.
Thanks, I wasn’t sure, but I was banking on your critique since you live in HK =]

(Ariel trying to read your song)
Wo something-something shi something-something hui something zhong de ni (repeat x8)
Yeah, my chinese is awesome.
I hate college apps too, and how freaking redundant the questions are. I have the hardest time not repeating myself. At least, not on the same application.
Two cousins? That’s good- I don’t even have the faintest legacy to anywhere, save Penn State (oh whoop de do) and yeah, ED UPenn Wharton, haha, don’t laugh when I get rejected. You?
