how the entire universe conspired to help me find my first love
Time of dream: 6th May 2020, 4.50am I woke up in the middle of night. Sky was still dark. I had an urgent need to go to the toilet. So I got up and walked to the toilet at our kitchen. I sat down on the toilet bowl, eyes half open and I heard a […]

“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 […]
