After my first and second chances of meeting Taeyeon face-to-face in Singapore both failed, I almost had a third chance in 2013 to see her again and possibly go up to her to ask my questions about the I Got A Boy mystery and my connection to her with schizophrenia… But why that, too, did not work out in the end??

Lyrics: “A Dandelion’s Promise” by Jay Chou + Memories of Seeing White Dandelions During My Visit To 33 Apartment Café in Seoul, 2018
“蒲公英的约定 (A Dandelion’s Promise)” by Jay Chou 周杰伦 **** Original Chinese lyrics **** 小學籬芭旁的蒲公英 是記憶裡有味道的風景 午睡操場傳來蟬的聲音 多少年後也還是很好聽 將願望折紙飛機寄成信 因為我們等不到那流星 認真投決定命運的硬幣 卻不知道到底能去哪裡 一起長大的約定 那樣清晰 打過勾的我相信 說好要一起旅行 是妳如今 唯一堅持的任性 在走廊上罰站打手心 我們卻注意窗邊的蜻蜓 我去到哪裡妳都跟很緊 很多的夢在等待著進行 一起長大的約定 那樣清晰 打過勾的我相信 說好要一起旅行 是妳如今 唯一堅持的任性 一起長大的約定 那樣真心 與妳聊不完的曾經 而我已經分不清 妳是友情 還是錯過的愛情 **** English translation **** The dandelion next to the fence in primary…

Memories of Korea Trip 2015 – Quotes from The Little Prince: True Colours Are Seen With The Heart
My christmas spent in Seoul in 2015 was a painful one. As naive as I might be, I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t meet Taenggu on that day. Didn’t she already “promised” me that she would spend the christmas day with me? But it didn’t happen. It was such a huge blow to me –…
