there are many things that i’ve been suppressing in my life. memories, mostly fragments of memories. i’ve been locking them up for so long…
the bits and pieces; of my childhood - i remember playing in the backseat of my mother’s car with the car door unlocked. after a sharp turn the door flung open and at the same instance i was also thrown out the door. then blackness…not much of memories back then, apart from the scar i got from a small bottle of magnesium liquid which fell onto my face.
my adolescent days - memories of pain and embarrassing moments which i shall not delve any deeper into, but has haunted me up to this very day. i lie awake sometimes while my mind is running from thought to thought, giving me shivers down my spine and making me yelp out in agony as i remember the shocking images burnt into my mind.
my college days (circa 2002) - sydney was a great place to be me, free from the opressing chains of malaysian values. i was able to hear my own voice for once. i was doing well, my life was in place and i had no problems with living or loving. i used to live by the code; not caring about whomever i fucked and left, even in relationships, they were more into me instead of the other way around. i left my heart where it should be, tucked away so no one could hurt me. i was untouchable. it all fell when i met JY. abusive, mentally and physically, JY. my heart was stolen, and i wanted it back.
my holiday in sg (the following year) - depressed and suicidal from my breakup, my holiday was spent smoking till i coughed out blood every morning, drinking till i passed out by the roadside, clubbing till i developed severe hearing problems and was even tempted to try out E & ice. this part of my life has been blurred up, i remember going home every night with someone different. i needed the company…badly.
thinking of my exes, or the ex-factors, my relationships never worked out. i never had the perfect one relationship which i always ever wanted. thinking of my last ex, how much pain i caused and still am causing, i feel sympathy for M. although i’ve moved on and started seeing I, i just cant help but wonder, what happened between M & me? but i let bygones be bygones, i live to forget. so into the little black box which i’ve kept hidden so well from people this memory of my ex goes into as well as most of my life. i’m happy now and that’s all that matters. as nat king cole says, smile.
Black Humour/Hei Se You Mo - Jay Chou (Tranlsation by jay-chou.net)
Feeling miserable
It’s because I’ve been depressed for too long
It’s because I’ve thought too much
It’s a psychological effect from the heart
You say that forced smile is always around you
We’re only reluctantly being together
Should you just leave me right now?
Shouldn’t think too much
I think it’s definitely me
Who heard wrong and did it wrong
Please, I think it’s the problem with your head
Casually saying
I’ve already guessed it and seen it, but don’t want to say more
I’m just scared that I can’t withhold my tears
I don’t understand your black humor
I’ve thought it through, but you came and puzzled me again
Splitting up, have you thought about it for long?
I don’t want to expose you
I’ll just treat it as a joke you made up
I’ve thought it through, but you came and puzzled me again
Splitting up, have you thought about it for long?
I’ve been defeated by your black humor
Splitting up, have you thought about it for long?
My seriousness has been defeated by your black humour
