《梦不完的你》("My endless Dream of You")

《梦不完的你〉("My Endless Dream of You") was a song sung by Nicky Wu (吴奇隆) in the 1990s. The MV below was also filmed in the 1990s. So, Nicky Wu was likely to be in his 20s. This is one of my favourite songs of his. Both music and lyrics were written by 李子恒. 

I think this song was about a guy who had to go somewhere due to some circumstances and had to leave the girl whom he loved. Hence, he was having endless dream of her as he could not forget her. He was hoping for a miracle that one day, he might meet her again.





歌词:

扮过痴狂的风
挣脱蜕变的痛
青春是一场接一场的梦
守着寂寞的夜空
回想往事如虹
这份感伤有谁来陪我

流浪天涯的我

不能同行的你
等待彼此盼望相遇的心
岁月把你的从前
还给我的蓝天
一朵白云是我的所有

梦不完的你

陪着梦不完的明天
梦不完的我
陪着无尽的风雨
每个明天的你
牵引我的未来
未来才是我做梦的勇气

梦不完的你

陪着梦不完的青春
梦不完的我
陪着无尽的晨昏
也许不再相遇
也许还有奇迹
只要有梦
就会有黎明

Which can be translated as:

Played the role of the crazy wind 
Got rid of the pain of transformation 
Youth is an endless dream 
Guarding the lonely night sky 
The past was like the rainbow 
Who can empathize with me 

I wandered to the ends of the world 
While you could not travel with me
Waiting for the time when both of us look forward to meet each other 
Your past 
Was returned to my blue sky 
The cloud is all I have

My endless dream of you
Accompanied my endless dream of tomorrow 
I, the one having endless dream 
Accompanied endless storm 
Each future you 
guiding me to my future 
It's the future that gives me the courage to dream on. 

My endless dream of you
Accompanied my endless dream of youth  
I, the one having endless dream
Accompanied the endless dawns and dusks
Perhaps we will not meet 
Perhaps there will be a miracle 
As long as I have a dream 
There will be dawn


I particularly liked this "等待彼此盼望相遇的心"(Waiting for the time when both of us look forward to meet each other ). I also liked the last part "也许不再相遇, 也许还有奇迹。 只要有梦就会有黎明" (Perhaps we will not meet, perhaps there will be a miracle. As long as I have a dream, there will be  dawn). As long as one still persists or still have hope, there will be miracle.

On a side note, MediaCorp is currently airing 《步步惊情》("Scarlet Heart 2") on channel U at 10 pm, from Mondays to Fridays, starring Nicky Wu who is now in his forties. He still looked so cool and handsome!

Episode 1 of 《步步惊情》("Scarlet Heart 2")

Yay! MediaCorp had started broadcasting the TV drama Serial《步步惊情》("Scarlet Heart 2")  last night at 10 pm on channel U. from Mondays to Fridays. I was pretty much looking forward to this. 《步步惊情》("Scarlet Heart 2") was the sequel to步步惊心》 ("Scarlet Heart").

《步步惊情》("Scarlet Heart 2") started off with emperor Yong Zheng (played by Nicky Wu 吴奇隆) saying "If you can't return to this world, I'll look for you in your world". He put a jade ring and hairpin in a small treasure chest and gave instructions for the treasure chest to be sent to the northwest - Ruoxi's  homeland. On their journey to the northwest, the troops escorting the treasure chest and other valuables met a sandstorm. 

Fast forward to the 1980s. Five guys went on an expedition to find the legendary treasure chest. They met with a tornado, survived it and miraculously found the treasure.

Now, back to the modern era. Zhang Xiao (played by Cecilia Liu 刘诗诗) woke up from her coma in the hospital. For three months, she kept visiting the museum every day to look at those paintings and other stuff that were once familiar to her. 

One day, she saw a person who looked like emperor Yong Zheng (played by Nicky Wu) and tears just kept flowing down her cheeks. Later she found out that he was the manager of Zhen Tian Corporation and his name is Yin Zheng. She subsequently applied for a job there and her interviewer was someone who looked like the tenth prince. This tenth prince look-a-like did not intend to employ her. The chairman (played by Damian Lau 刘松仁) of the Zhen Tian Corporation happened to pass by, had a short conversation with Zhang Xiao and decided to employ her. Later, he instructed his staff to do a family background check on Zhang Xiao. Then, there was a scene which showed a picture of a lady with long hair who looked like Zhang Xiao. Now, I am wondering. What was the relationship between the chairman, the lady in the picture and Zhang Xiao?

Episode 1 ended with Zhang Xiao walking at the stairway. She saw a lady who was dressed in a Qing dynasty costume fall down. When that lady got up, Zhang Xiao was shocked! She looked like herself (Zhang Xiao). Was that lady Ruoxi? Now, who is who?

I shall continue to watch and find out the answers.

Universal Studio Singapore


We finally visited Universal Studio Singapore at Resort World Sentosa last Sunday.

Universal Studio Singapore opened in 2010 at Resort World Sentosa. So what took us so long to visit it? Actually, I was waiting for Sera to grow up and, hence, taller so that she could go on most of the rides.

We drove the car into Sentosa. We parked the car at Beachfront Station and took the Sentosa Express to Waterfront Station.


View of Merlion from car

After we purchased the tickets, we saw this before entering Universal Studio Singapore itself.


Yes, now Sera could ride most of the attractions. You can check the riders' guide on the Universal Studio Singapore website or just click here.


We had our lunch at Mel's Drive-In restaurant at the Hollywood zone. Halfway through our lunch, we saw some men singing at a small stage outside the restaurant. They were singing and dancing to rock-n-roll songs. What a great way to enjoy lunch!

I had intended to watch the Monster Rock Performance just opposite the restaurant after lunch but upon seeing the warning at the entrance, Lynn was not interested. The kids were concerned that the band might be too loud and deafening for their "delicate ears" :( .



Moving on to the New York zone, we saw characters from Sesame Street such as Elmo, Big Bird, Ernie and Bert singing and dancing at the steps outside the mock Public Library building.




We went back to the Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase for the ride after watching the Sesame Street performance. 


It was a slow moving ride suitable for young children too. 

Accelerator

Lynn initially wanted to ride the Accelerator at the Sci-Fi zone. Upon seeing the spinning in action, she changed her mind. The spinning was so fast that she was worried that she might get dizzy.

Below were some pictures taken at the Ancient Egypt zone







Next we visited The Lost World zone.


Dino Soaring Ride


It was always a pity that we could not take pictures of ourselves when we were in the rides. Fortunately for Ardon and Sera, I managed to snap a shot of them when the ride stopped.

The next stop was the Far Far Away zone.



We had a 4-D film experience. This was our first 4-D movie. It sure was fun although the kids weren't too happy about being sprayed water :p.  It was also the kids' first visit to a movie theatre. 

After this we went to watch the Hollywood Parade which started at 5.00 pm. 









After that, we went back to the Madagascar zone for the carousel ride at King Julien's Beach Party-Go-Round.



Adults could also ride on these, yay!

We did some souvenir shopping and then left Universal Studio Singapore.




The queue for the Sentosa Express was very long. A sign board showed that the waiting time was 20 minutes for the train to Beach Station. We walked to Imbiah station and had dinner at the KFC restaurant there. 

After we had dinner, it was home sweet home.
