Linkin Park - New Divide



New Divide

I remembered black skies, the lightning all around me
I remembered each flash as time began to blur
Like a startling sign that fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide

There was nothing in sight but memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide, the ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes across this new divide

In every loss, in every lie, in every truth that you'd deny
And each regret and each goodbye was a mistake too great to hide
And your voice was all I heard that I get what I deserve

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes
Give me reason to fill this hole, connect the space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies across this new divide
Across this new divide, across this new divide

红豆 by 方大同




还没好好地感受
雪花绽放的气候
我们一起颤抖
会更明白什么是温柔

还没跟你牵着手
走过荒芜的沙丘
可能从此以后
学会珍惜天长和地久

有时候有时候
我会相信一切有尽头
相聚离开都有时候
没有什么会永垂不朽
可是我有时候
宁愿选择留恋不放手
等到风景都看透
也许你会陪我看细水长流

还没为你把红豆
熬成缠绵的伤口
然后一起分享
会更明白相思的哀愁
还没好好地感受
醒著亲吻的温柔
可能在我左右
你才追求孤独的自由

有时候有时候
我会相信一切有尽头
相聚离开都有时候
没有什么会永垂不朽
可是我有时候
宁愿选择留恋不放手
等到风景都看透
也许你会陪我看细水长流

有时候有时候
我会相信一切有尽头
相聚离开都有时候
没有什么会永垂不朽
可是我有时候
宁愿选择留恋不放手
等到风景都看透
也许你会陪我看细水长流

2 short films that I did! For National Day Short Film Competition

Our Pledge


This short film is considered to be my ever first production based on just using more of visual than on having dialouges in the script to tell the audience what I feel about our National Pledge. Although we may not have notice what our daily routines are like but we have always been living life along with the pledge. Probably because this is the society that we're living here in Singapore.




One People One Nation One Singapore
The Esplanade



I would be surprised if you did not smile at all in this short. However, I really hope I did make you at least giggle. Though this short may be directed by me but the idea of making a "kuso" version production came from Davian. I had been serious all the time. And when he suggested this, I was thinking..hmm..why not? Since I'm able to submit 2 entries. So here it is..An informal short film. Also, a first time doing "kuso".


Let me first elaborate on the first story. The main part of this entire short, is to bring in the first part of the National Pledge "We The Citizens of Singapore, Pledge Ourselves As One United People, Regardless of Race, Language or Religion..." By setting up a mahjong scene, I feel that it would give a sense of togetherness feeling.Although there is a player short, Jing Xiong playing as the owner of the house, managed to get his friend Rajan to come over to his place to play. "Race" comes into place in this scene and to make this "kuso",noticed that the background music(the Indi melody), produced by James Lye, prefectly hit the right spot the moment Rajan came into the picture. And then it ends off by the 4 of them playing mahjong together. Haha..One more thing, not sure if you've noticed. I designed the short in such a way that Kai Wen, Wei Khim and Jing Xiong are speaking in English rather than in mandarin despite they are Chinese. Whereas when Jing Xiong spoke to Rajan on the phone, it was in mandarin. Haha..This is where "language" comes into the picture.


The Esplanade is a skit of 2 architects who just received a new project to build an Arts centre. But they couldn't come up with a design that would bring a common 'thing' or a 'feature' of Singaporeans. You should have watched it with the mindset that Esplanade has not been built. This short was just an assumption of mine of how the design of Esplanade actually came up-an accidental incident which is the fliping over of the durian shell. Haha..Ya...and fitting to the later part of the pledge "To Build A Democractic Society, Based on Justice and Equality, So As to Achieve Happiness Prosperity. And Progress for Our Nation", building Esplanade with a common Singaporeans' feature(which is the durian,as Singaporeans love durians..but not me..) and eventually you see the real Esplanade which means "progress".
There will be votings for the shorts. I will update the links to you again.So do visit my blog.
