Life is a Race... (Wednesday, August 5, 2009 / 3:53 AM)
Sigh... gloomy weather, gloomy 心情。好不容易想来“清境”清静一下。你看，应该是这样的风景。。。
可是现在又起雾又下雨。一切都变得蒙胧。
sigh....
By now, most of you might have heard... Diya is out of the PK competition. But actually hor, she already did very well. She got through the 1st round. Then she sang a 2nd song. And she lost to her PK rival by only 1 point. And it's a little unfair leh. They "ding ding ding" the score for diya 1st. Then that guy... 李杰宇's score hor, it stopped at the same score then suddenly "ding" one more point from 小胖老师, who in my opinion, did not give very fair comments.
Erm... I really dun agree with what he says about diya. He commented that Diya's voice has no 辩识度!!! (HELLO???!?!?!!) Then at the backstage, he asked Diya "who do you think you sound like?", and said he can't think of anyone who sounds like Diya. And then he went on to advise Diya to look for a reference. I don't understand why la. Isn't it great that Diya sounds unique? Sigh.. Aiyah I dun understand what the judges are thinking la. And I think it's all about the programme also la. I believe that there were a lot of factors considered, that has nothing to do with singing.
Anyway, I secretly took a picture of Diya on the famous 星光 stage! hahaha... sshhh.. dun tell people.
To my dear friend, a lot of people will give you 马后炮 comments and feedbacks. There's no way to block them one. People just like to think they know better. But the fact is... they might not. Listen to what you think is useful and filter away those that are hurting and not helpful. Like 选错歌 that kind is totally useless. If you had done that song well, then no one would have told you that you 选错歌.
But please don't be affected by this small setback. In fact, most people think that it's a setback but I don't. I think that you have done a great job, even 小玲老师 (click
here for her interview) said that “对我来说她还是有实力的。这是一个比赛，输了并不代表你不行。”
Life is a super long race.
Sometimes, we are leading the race.
Sometimes, we get tired and we lag behind a little.
Sometimes, we fall. But we have to pick ourselves up.
Sometimes, we have to take a break to run the next mile.
And no one can ever predict who's gonna finish the race 1st. In fact, there's no need to judge who's doing better than who. Because the race should be a competition with yourself and most importantly, I just wish to enjoy this race.
我们应该追求的是幸福，而不是名誉金钱。
It might sound very idealistic. I'm not saying I'm above money and fame. I just mean don't focus on money, fame, achievement, reputation, etc. Let's focus on happiness 吧.
输也要输得开心。穷也要穷得开心。
