我怎么说 - What I Say

Dear Did It,
Premature ejaculation is a bummer. Sometimes it's biological—your body just behaves this way; sometimes it's due to training because when you first started diddling you needed to make it quick so that you wouldn't get caught by a parent or sibling. You may need to see a sex therapist, but before you do that let me make some (much cheaper) suggestions:
1. Be of Service
Remove the emphasis off your linguine of love and instead take time to please your partner. No man will turn down the extra attention, and when he's getting closer to completion you can better time your finish.
2. Stay Slightly Out of Reach
When you're working your guy, keep away from his hands. That way he won't accidentally work you into a frenzy before you're ready.
3. Tease Yourself
This isn't to say that you should keep your privates sequestered like a nun. As you're helping him along, give yourself a little tease. Work up those sensations then stop yourself before things go too far. This kind of "touch and retreat" method may help train you to handle the excitement.
4. Tell Him What's Up
Guys LOVE knowing that what they're doing is turning you on. It feeds their ego and the sex (because, as Dear Dick often says, great sex begins in the brain). So if things are getting close, tell him. But do it as a compliment. That way it's not a buzz kill, it's a sex thrill.
5. Mix It Up
If you're the poker, consider using your fingers or toys some of the time. They add naughtiness and variety, and let you last longer.
6. Keep Going
Some guys don't lose their erections after ejaculating. If you're one of those men, replace the glove and start again. Yes, the penis can be sensitive but you can work through that. If you do drop your rock then immediately devote yourself to his pleasure, letting him know that you can go again—and plan to because he's so frickin' amazing! (See, there's that ego-feeding-the-brain-feeding-the-sex thing again.) Then, after 20 minutes or so, you’ll be good to go, and the second orgasm is likely to be a much longer time in arriving.
Try these things out and see how they work for you. If they don't, then seek out professional help.
 



Dear Dick isn't a doctor or health worker of any kind, but he did struggle with quick completion as a young buck. Fortunately, he's taken care of that situation and is happy to write about his experiences.

He's sooo sweet, isn't he?

NEW YORK — On a recent Monday night at a Los Angeles karaoke bar, a meek-looking woman in a business suit and glasses was coaxed on stage by her co-workers.
While the boozy crowd readied itself for four minutes of awkward singing, the woman — "Karen" — suddenly belted out exquisite, pitch-perfect renditions of the Jewel songs "Who Will Save Your Soul" and "Foolish Games."
Astonished crowd members picked their jaws off the floor and cheered wildly. One person was heard comparing Karen to "an American Susan Boyle."
Unbeknownst to them, they had been victims of "undercover karaoke."
Karen really was Jewel, and the proceedings had been filmed by FunnyOrDie.com, the comedy video website co-founded by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay. The video was posted Tuesday and was rapidly circulating online, with more than 160,000 views as of evening.
"I was a bit nervous to do this skit at first because I feared it would amount to little more than showing off some vocals, dressed as someone else," Jewel said in an e-mail. "I was worried it wouldn't be self-effacing enough."
For the video, created by Funny or Die writer-director Eric Appel, Jewel was given a prosthetic nose, wig and glasses, and butt padding. Only after performing as Karen did Jewel return to the stage of the karaoke joint, the Gas Lite, as herself.
(Before the reveal, one audience member says to the camera: "They tell me she only sings at Christmas parties.")
Though Jewel is principally a singer-songwriter, she has acted before, most notably in the 1999 Ang Lee film "Ride with the Devil." This performance was quite a bit quicker (Funny or Die contacted her just a few days before taping on June 28) and more comical.
"This did not require much, as the costume did most of the work for me," said Jewel, whose full name is Jewel Kilcher. "I love improv and this was a small chance to do that, luckily as someone else. I would love to do more of it in the future. A dream gig would be a show like `Curb Your Enthusiasm.'"
Jewel also shot another video for Funny or Die that she says involves former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. A spokeswoman for the site said it will be released next week.

Oh, how I love this girl :-)

I love dogs, ever since I was a little kid I always do. I recall that I used to have this very lovely terrier dog called Terry. I loved him (I prefer "him" than "it" to refer to my dog) sooo much back then. Terry always followed me wherever I go, even to my kindergarten he wouldn't let me walk alone.
Sadly, someone stole him, well it's actually my neighbor who stole him from me. Guess was too small to really understand the situation back then, and I couldn't remember at all whether I demanded him back or not. But that's past story to be told.
Since then I always have strange attraction toward dogs (not the fierce kind, growr).
See see, I want to own these dogs, if I can find place to settle down, lol. With my current work, keeping pet is impossible. So I'll just add them to my wishlist. Aren't they cuuuute?

Comparisons are easily done Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one I still got the seed

You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know

Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What *you* would do if You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I Was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy With a surprise center
How do I get better Once I've had the best
You said there's Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips I taste your mouth
He pulled me in I was disgusted with myself

Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I Was looking into...

You're the best And yes I do regret
How I could let myself Let you go
Now the lesson's learned I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know

Cause when I'm with him I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay...

Long has since I had my first tamagotchi, lol... I remember I was in sophomore year of primary high school and I wanted to have Tamagotchi so bad. Well, the main reason is that I couldn't own a real pet, my parents were so strict back then. So I keep asking my mum if I could buy one, until finally my mum bought me a red dinosaur tamagotchi. How I loved it back then...

So yeah, a week ago when I was wandering around a mall in Pekanbaru, I found this cutie was on 40% discount, it's originally around USD 23, now "only" USD 15. I bought it! Yey...
Just to satisfy inner kid in me... (you know, that Gemini people are judged for unability to grow mature mentally, lol).

Although I must say the essence of keeping Tamagotchi has changed since the first time they launched it (back then, it's only about keeping your Tamagotchi like a real pet, you have to take care of every single chores like feed it, brush it with comb, etc, etc), now you can raise your own Superstar Tamagotchi, or Celebrity Tamagotchi with minimal routine chores. Still it's still nice to reminisce how I was so happy to owned one :-)

Now you can even matchmake your Tamagotchi with someone else's, or in case your friends don't have any, you can attend matchmaking show on Tamagotchi TV. Cute huh?

So whose pet wanna marry with mine? I have adult Chantotchi, Mametchi, and Memetchi here, lol.

"Life was much easier when apple and blackberry were just fruits.."

M.J.

Today when I was looking around in the Facebook, I saw my ex's wedding picture. He is hugging his wife in that picture, smiled to camera while gazing up there. Looking at the stars in the sky, maybe. With that familiar gaze he used to gaze at my eyes with.

Never before I saw him so gorgeous...
And his wife ain't bad either.
I am truly happy for him, he has found his happiness he always searched for.
But why does it hurt at the same time, too?

One of the things that makes me feel so reluctant every time someone messaged me on social networking site (well, dating site in particular) is something called people's expectation. Like this...

I received a message from someone called John few months ago, and I already said that I am not looking for relationship, I'm only looking for friendship there. He agreed with that, saying that even if it won't go anywhere, it's just nice to have friend to share.
From that point on, he's like a gym buddy for me when I happen to be in Jakarta. Sometimes we just spend time in the gym, he likes to join the classes there, while I will usually refuse (I hate join those body combat class, urgh) and do weight training instead. Some other time we will just watch movie or go out and have some meal.

Something wrong with that? I have buddies with whom I usually spend time with and nothing (as in love department) develop from that. Even with girls. We remain as close friend, although we go out together often (so I am quite flustered why boys are more emo about that). Because I only think of them as friends, nothing more. I sometimes think, do I give him those cyber guys false hope or something by doing those friendly stuff?
And yet, recently he came out to me said he loves me and asked if I do feel the same, well, if you ask me such a question, don feel regret after that if you don't like the answer. Told ya, I am very bold with words.
"I am sorry John, I just don't have feeling for you in a romantic sense, at least for now. But truly, I do favor you as my good friend. You are precious for me."

Then eng-ing-eng! Everything changed!
Occasional sms, gone.
Occasional "Hi!", gone.
Occasional chat, gone.
Even he never call me up again in chat room, always wait for me to call him first.

When I confronted him with his change, he won't admit it. I called him the other day, and he says that he's with his other friend. Is it what people called jual mahal?? I completely have no idea.

I don't get what's wrong with him, since the very beginning he clearly stated that even if this would not lead to something serious, it's fine. It's rare to have a good friend in PLU world (I admit that) so I try to maintain good friendship when I find one. But now what??

Geez, for your information John, I won't fall to jual-mahal trap, sadly. I don't love you, buddy!

Yeah, just finally arrived home, exhausted, but satisfied, heh heh. Tonight my family went to one of the rare family outing. It all started yesterday, when my Ma watched the trailer of recently out horror movie, The Wolfman. She told my didi that the movie surely eerily nice, so it's good if we can watch it. Actually me and my didis were planning to watch The Lightning Thief instead. But since my Pa wants to join us... The Wolfman, it was determined.

When Ben Talbot (Simon Merrells) vanishes into thin air, his brother Lawrence (Benicio Del Toro) returns to his family estate to investigate. Upon reuniting with his estranged father, Sir John Talbot (Anthony Hopkins), however, he discovers a destiny far darker than his blackest nightmares. Ben is dead; the victim of a savage attack by a beast that keeps the superstitious locals cowering in fear every time the moon shines bright in the sky. Shortly after discovering his brother's true fate, Lawrence swears to Ben's wife, Gwen (Emily Blunt), that he will bring her late husband's killer to justice. As a young boy, the untimely death of his mother caused Lawrence to grow up before his time. Though Lawrence had previously attempted to bury his pain in the past by leaving the quiet Victorian hamlet of Blackmoor behind, he discovers that you can't outrun fate when he's attacked by the very same nocturnal beast that claimed his brother. Not even recently arrived Scotland Yard inspector Aberline (Hugo Weaving) can dream up a rational explanation for the gruesome spell cast over Blackmoor, yet rumors of an ancient curse persist. According to legend, the afflicted will experience a horrific transformation by the light of the full moon. Now, the woman Talbot loves is in mortal danger, and in order to protect her he must venture into the moonlit woods and destroy the beast before it destroys her. But this isn't a typical hunt, because before the beast can be slain, a simple man will uncover a primal side of himself that he never knew existed.

I must say, this movie was below my expectation from the story side (compared to other fantastic werewolf movies like Gingersnaps the series), although if you expect to be shocked and thrilled during the entire movie, you will find it enchanting. But a warning from me, if you happen to have heart or "ayan" disease, you will want to watch less shocking movies instead (Spongebob the Movie? Disney Pixar movies? lol). Someone could easily die due to heart attack while watching The Wolfman, there were too many shocks in the movie from beginning till end.
I just couldn't believe that the girl who sat beside me in the cinema CRIED in her boyfriend's embrace when watching the werewolf (Del Toro) died in Gwen's lap. Heeelooo, it wasn't even sad or dramatic demise.


Walked around to accompany my didi bought new pair of Converse shoes, and I found this beauty, teasing me to try it...

And in the end, I bought it impulsively, lol.... My Pa and Ma were also encouraged me, so I dun feel that guilty :-D
It was quite expensive though, it's like one of the most expensive shoes I ever have until now, haha.

But yeah after we walked around and I found this stall which sells ginseng, I don't feel that my shoes is that expensive anymore.

雨下好乱 半个夜晚 你不在身边怎麽晚安
the rain is falling heavily into the middle of the night. I cannot sleep as you’re not by my side

天好蓝 要和你一起看
I want to watch the clear blue sky with you

起风时有你来温暖
You are the one who gives me warmth when a wind blows over

心事简单 一句说完
feelings from my heart are so simple that a simple sentence says all

要我们永远不会分开
wanting us to never seperate

有眼泪 也因为你灿烂
tears are present but they glisten because of you

你微笑因为我盛开
You're smiling, for (watching) me blossoming

要谢谢爱 让你在我身边守护我的未来
I thank love for letting you stay by me and guard my future

像阳光陪著大海是平静还是澎湃都是爱
similar to how the sun will accompany the sea, whether it is calm or rough, it is still love


Valentine's day has passed by... today I heard this song again. Suddenly I felt warmth inside which I cannot explain. It's like a reminder that now I've been walking on the same road hand-in-hand with Cedric for 2 years and 7 months. Still early? Or sounds long enough for you?
The last time I met him was May 2009, it's been a long 9 months waiting for both of us, but I still cherish him. I can still remember how we met for the first time, with his timid smile, his shyness, hiss soft kisses...
I love his honesty, I love how he asks my opinion before he makes a decision, I love the way he say "hello" on the phone, I love everything about my Cedric. Not to say, we have our ups and downs, we quarrel a lot. Mostly because I feel him often live in his own world, busy with himself, or just less care for me, but that's just him. In love I need to hold my ego, learn to accept instead of wanting someone to change. Nevertheless, I want this relationship to last forever, want my Cedric to grow old with me. The road is still a long way, but hopefully we can conquer all obstacles and find our happiness, together.

短暂的总是浪漫
The short-termed relationship is always romantic,
漫长总会不满
The long-term relationship is always full of dissatisfaction.

There’s a piece of simple delicacy, here in the heart of Jakarta.
Something called “Medan Ice Cream”.
This is one of the things left from my childhood days.

The seller will getting around in the neighbourhood using modified bicycle, approaching the customers. No, it’s not as premium as Baskin-Robbins or Häagen-Dazs, nor as expensive, but there’s something special in it that makes me always remember it.

If you buy Medan ice cream, by default the seller will serve it in a bun, a hamburger bun. He will slice it, just enough to hold various flavour of ice cream he’ll put later in it. One scoop of…
Chocolate
Strawberry
Vanilla
Durian
Avocado

All those put in that one bun. You can choose whatever flavour you like to put in the bun, for sure.
But let alone, I like to let the merchant to put whatever flavour available. That’s the art of enjoying Medan ice cream though, you get various taste in every bite…

One bite you may get the bitter taste of chocolate
Another bite you may savour the sweet strawberry
The next bite, you maybe feel the smoothness of vanilla
Then followed by the tangy durian
Finalized by tender taste of avocado

Just like what we experience in life, we’ll get one bite of every sweet and bitterness, whether we like it or not.
It's the flavour of life...

Isn’t this a big BULGE or what? haha…

In one of my consultation sessions with one of the clients, I noticed this guy, stood right in front of me, flaunting his “asset”.

Me, was just sat right there while he was talking to my colleague, don’t want to pass the opportunity to immortalize this moment for you to see.

Its’ an exclusive initiative that disappoints and encourages at the same time, but for the rich, who have always fantasized about owning a rare Sumatran Tiger prowling in their backyard, it’s a dream come true. Under a unique proposal, the Indonesian government would be allowing the rich to adopt this rare animal for 1 billion rupiah ($107,000). Deforestation and hunting has led to severe culling of the numbers and with just 400 big cats alive today, the government hopes that the initiative would protect these animals from near extinction. The tigers will remain state property and will be returned to the state if they were no longer wanted. Any cubs the tigers produce will be the property of the state. As the conservationists are left scorning at the strange proposal, orders have already started pouring in from the rich who in the deepest of their minds have yearned to be called the big shots; courageous and powerful as the Sumatran Tiger.
www.bornrich.org

I pity them though, the tiger I mean. Especially since I've been assigned to work in Sumatra for awhile. I can see that they do struggle to survive with all the environment-unfriendly human activities in Sumatra. Illegal logging, oil company operation, people burning forest to create space for sawit plantation.
Now they want to make them available on sale, what kind of (so-called-rich) people are they?
And considering that this is encouraged by the government... What were they thinking? *shake head*

There's a proverb in Indonesia "Dikasih Hati Minta Jantung", literally translated "I give you my liver, but still you ask for my heart". That proverb basically describes about a person that take you for granted.

I had this friend I knew from Fridae, say his name is A. Since the very first I already told him that I have been in a relationship for 2 and a half year already, and said that I'm not into man-looking-for-soulmate chase for now, let's be friends. At first it went along very well, looks like we're gonna make a good friendship (which is hard to look for in gay world, or at least for me). Sometimes we said hi and exchange stories about our day, just casual conversation.

Casual conversation, that's all for me. But not for him. Apparently he thinks that he could fit between me and my boyfriend.
"Wah, it's raining out there, so cold and cozy, I need someone to hug me, lol. But who yaaa?"
"Want me to bath with you?"
Example of the things he'd say.

And as cherry on top, our chat today...
A: Why so long ?!?! [notice the marks]
Me: Yeah, why is it a prob for ya? Even my boyfriend wun be like that, lol.
A: Ya, because he doesn't care! [How can you be so certain mistah?]
A: He lives abroad. [Errrh ya, so??]

...................

Me: Well well well, now who's actually hoping that, is it you or me? :p

Twice he asked me to accompany him watch movie, and I was just like ok, nothing special la. In the theatre, even I didn't give him hint or hold his hand, I literally FOLD my hand, although I knew he put his hand on the palmrest. OBVIOUS INVITATION, no? It's quite obvious on where this will go isn't it? From my experience with all the guys I've dated, the thing that you do in the theatre are good indications on how you will spend the night after. Hold hands = good! No touchy touchy = Sleep alone tonight!

And it wasn't even a date!!!
He wanted to watch, he asked me to accompany. I thought the movie was good, so I agreed to accompany. That simple! Tell me if I did wrong.

Hey man! Know your boundaries. It's not like you're my boyfriend or something.

My lao gong just sent it to me...



You think we could make an everlasting couple? Lol...

Money Money Money...

Important in our life, no?
Although one says that money can't buy love, but for me, without money you can't even live long enough to love. It's a materialistic world we live in.

This blog entry was actually inspired by my senior in workplace. He's been working here for more than 20 years already, and if you count his salary, it is enough to buy one new Honda CR-V every month. And even on certain months in a year, he could afford to buy new Honda Camry with his monthly salary.
People talk bad about him, people envy him, people just want to be like him somehow... Who wouldn't?

But in achieving that, he often disobey other people's right, he often tricks his colleague so that he could get the expensive jobs, and sometimes, while he's on vacation, he would keep monitoring the activities in the workplace, and when expensive jobs coming, he would fly right away, even in the middle of vacation, and replacing his subtitute colleague for that job.

He never, for once treat his crews, even after performed several jobs in one single day. Bring re-cooked food for banquet party. Using the same worn-out clothes for year. Buying second-hand goods for his kids. Bring airplane foods as a gift for his smallest kid.

So many bad talks about him that I've heard, so many curses and invectives that people say to him. For me, this is not the problem, and that's not how you should solve it.

Being greedy is a choice, you cannot force people not to be greed because that's your perception of good behaviour of human beings that has been planted in your mind say, since you were a small kid. That's not it. It's his choice to live his life that way, he has taken all his risks for good, so be it. He lost his time for his family, he has that stigma from other people, and many others that I cannot even mention, only he knows. He has swallowed his pills. And I bet  that would be a bitter one, probably get even more bitter in following years.

As for me, I don't want to have a regret in my live by piling money all the time in my life until I cannot even enjoy it anymore. I have my purposes, I don't mind to work hard (and smart of course) and spend my money for my family. People say " It is not the time of shopping and travelling, you should do it later once you have more money...". But the question is, when? How enough is enough?

God, Family, and Sweetheart (and Friends, heh heh). For me, that is all that counts.

He's super handsome, isn't he?
To think of him as playable character in a game was far beyond my imagination. But as the powerful graphic for game console came true by the release of Playstation 3, it is possible now.
This handsome guy is a character from game named Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer which will be released around February 18, 2010 in Japan, February 23, 2010 in North America, and February 24, 2010 for Europe. I don't have a Playstation 3 console though, but I WANT TO HAVE IT after I see this, lol...

Of course after I make sure that Playstation 3 can play pirated game :p

And this game will surely be one of the 1st game I buy :)
Here's the preview of the gameplay...






I want I want I want, lol...

Ever since I decided to join the crowd in playing PSP, I'm always up to date with all the new games released, lol. I am obsessed >.<
And one of my favourite these days is Dissidia. At first I expected would see another Final Fantasy RPG series (which I dun really favor). Everyone's been raving about Cloud, Tidus, etc etc, but I dun really have determination to finish even one Final Fantasy episode. The only game in the series which I played was FF VII (people said that it was the one with the most exciting stories ever, but not for me, heh heh) and I didn't finish playing it. Quite boring after a while.


You can see the fighting scene example here...


Let's see how long I can play this one, hehe.

I cherish it :-)

But oh! the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak fearlessly on any subject; with whom one's deepest as well as one's most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely.  Oh, the comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away.  ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859

徘徊过多少橱窗
How many cupboards and windows have I paced past,
住过多少旅馆
How many hotels have I stayed in,
才会觉得分离也并不冤枉
Until I no longer feel wronged by the break up?
感情是用来浏览
Is affection just for show
还是用来珍藏
Or should it be treasured,
好让日子天天都过得难忘
To make each day an unforgettable day?

熬过了多久患难
How long have I endured the trials?
湿了多少眼眶
How many times have my eyes teared?
才能知道伤感是爱的遗产
Until I knew that sorrow is love's legacy?
流浪几张双人床
How many double beds have I slept in alone?
换过几次信仰
How many different religions have I changed?
才让戒指义无返顾的交换
Until the rings are exchanged irrevocably?

把一个人的温暖
To let a person's warmth,
转移到另一个的胸膛
Transfer to the torso of another.
让上次犯的错反省出梦想
Let the mistakes made in the past be reflected upon to create the dreams.
每个人都是这样
Everyone was like this,
享受过提心吊胆
Having experienced nervousness before,
才拒绝做爱情代罪的羔羊
Before rejecting being a scapegoat for love.
回忆是抓不到的月光握紧就变黑暗
Memories are like uncatchable moonbeams, clench too tightly and they would turn into darkness.
等虚假的背影消失于晴朗
Wait for the shadows of the shallow and false to vanish into the clear sky.
阳光在身上流转,等所有业障被原谅
The sunlight is shining on us, let's wait for all the imperfections to be forgiven.
爱情不停站 想开往地老天荒
Love is not stopping, it is heading towards the land of eternity;
需要多勇敢
One needs to be braver in love.

烛光照亮了晚餐,照不出个答案
The candlelight has lit up our dinner, but it cannot illuminate the answer.
恋爱不是温馨的请客吃饭
Being in love is not just warmly inviting people over for meals.
床单上铺满花瓣 拥抱让他成长
Sprinkle the bedsheets with flower petals, hug him and let him grow up,
太拥挤就开到了别的土壤
If it is too cramped, just go to another place.

感情需要人接班
Love needs someone to continue it,
接近换来期望
And slowly be exchanged for hope.
期望带来失望的恶性循环
Hope, however, brings the evil cycle of disappointment.
短暂的总是浪漫
The short-termed relationship is always romantic,
漫长总会不满
The long-term relationship is always full of dissatisfaction.
烧完美好青春换一个老伴
After burning through the great years of youth, exchange it all for an old partner.


你不要失望
Don't be disappointed,
荡气回肠是为了
All these touching scenes are for
最美的平凡
The most beautiful normality.


No matter how many times I have heard this melody, I just can’t get bored with it. No other song can depict me like how this song does. It was funny, however, how I found this song. Few years ago, I was alone in my hotel room, in a place I would not normally come after. I didn’t have any urge to go out, like what I will usually do. I saw advertisement on tv, advertised this compilation album.

I was startled, literally, when I first heard the piece of this song aired, and in a rush I looked at the screen, trying to look for some infomation, but no information there. I started with my obsession on this song, wait for the next advert to air again and I recorded this song on my phone. Ever since then, I asked my friends whether they know this song, but no one would come with answer.

Until one day, exactly, since I first heard it. I was me and by brother in my room, he was busy doing something on my laptop, while I typed something on my PC. He played THAT song from my music collection! I was like, Gosh… THIS is IT!!! So unique how fate can play with you in unique way.

One year and a half has passed, and I still love this tune…

I wish I can meet Mr. Eason to congratulate him because he had created this piece of beautiful normality.
