Wish I was here...
Awesome performance! I'm totally captivated and awestruck - Attracted by their charisma on stage; In-awe of their prowess that no other band can second them. Really.
"I could not look back
you'd gone away from me
I felt my heart ache
I was afraid of following you
When I had looked at the shadows on the wall
I started running into the night to find the truth in me..."

The man wants the cake, and eat it too.
I was cabbing from Orchard Road last night. On the way home, the taxi driver became.. well, quite emo and started to pour woes to me (I suppose I looked approachable?).
He started by asking if I've ever encounter a similar situation whereby I'm in love, with two.
As the "pouring woes" session continued, the whole scenario got clearer, becoming a very typical Taiwan melo-drama material -
He is 42, married with two kids (around 12 years old). Currently sleeping in separate rooms from his wife AND having a not-really "underground" affair with another woman, who incidentally was his ex-girlfriend 10 years ago.
He told me there's no sparks between him and his wife anymore. What's left is only to shoulder responsibility for his two kids. By a twist of fate, he met his ex-girlfriend (who's divorced) and that rekindled the passion the two of them once shared.
He asked if I were him, what'd I do?
I told him outrightly that I'd go with my feelings - If there's no love anymore, I really see no point clinging onto a broken relationship. What's the point of making everyone miserable? Why not start afresh for everyone?
He hemmed and hawed, probably in disbelief that I could answer him so outright without a waver in thought.
"How about the children? They are still young.."
"But a clean break can end everyone's misery. Why not? You can't have the best of both worlds, sacrifice is inevitable.."
Then he went into the main point, "But if I divorce with my wife, I'll lose everything. My properties, money... You know between love and bread, bread is also very important.."
"...."
In the end he's just a self-centred jerk who wants the best of both worlds. My heart goes out to his wife really. To marry a man for more than 12 years, bearing him two kids, and then to realise he doesn't love you for all you've done, for HIM.
I'm amazed how he was able to say all these without a tinge of guilt towards his wife. All he knew was his ex.. well, current girlfriend is suffering too.
Argh, what is freaking wrong with him?!
As I was about to alight from the cab, he told me he has asked alot of youngsters (20-30s) about their opinions and their answers are similar. Precisely! End off this relationship and free your wife!
Guess what, he said the differing views are attributed by generation gap. The youngsters are not so "home-oriented".. Unlike him.
...
1001 excuses to cover for his selfishness.
Are all men like him??
Omg, I'm seriously losing faith with love.. And my future judgment.
