Appreciating 李宗盛 - 领悟

When I first saw this song on MTV when I was still in secondary school I had nothing but scorn for it. Tear jerker of a video, no guitar riffs, no boobs shot, in short - a waste of TV air time.

Maybe because it is a 李宗盛 composition, which many say one is able to fully grasp the meaning only after going through the ups and downs of life.

Now with age catching up and having thinner hair on the pate, I begin to understand why this song resonated with many broken hearts when it was first released. And yes, my eyes are brimming with tears whenever I hear the chorus.

我以为我会哭
但是我没有
我只是怔怔望着你的脚步
给你我最后的祝福
这何尝不是一种领悟
让我把自己看清楚
虽然那共爱的痛苦
将日日夜夜
在我灵魂最深处
我以为我会报复
但是我没有
当我看到我深爱过的男人
竟然像孩子一样无助
这何尝不是一种领悟
让你把自己看清楚
被爱是奢侈的幸福
可惜你从来不在乎
啊!一段感情就此结束
啊!一颗心眼看要荒芜
我们的爱若是错误
愿你我没有白白受苦
若曾真心真意付出
就应该满足
啊!多么痛的领悟
你曾是我的全部
只是我回首来时路的每一步
都走的好孤独
啊!多么痛的领悟
你曾是我的全部
只愿你挣脱情的枷锁
爱的束缚任意追逐
别再为爱受苦
我以为我会报复
但是我没有
当我看到我深爱过的男人
竟然像孩子一样无助
这何尝不是一种领悟
让你把自己看清楚
被爱是奢侈的幸福
可惜你从来不在乎
啊!一段感情就此结束
啊!一颗心眼看要荒芜
我们的爱若是错误
愿你我没有白白受苦
若曾真心真意付出
就应该满足
啊!多么痛的领悟
你曾是我的全部
只是我回首来时路的每一步
都走的好孤独
啊!多么痛的领悟
你曾是我的全部
只愿你挣脱情的枷锁
爱的束缚任意追逐
啊!多么痛的领悟
你曾是我的全部
只是我回首来时路的每一步
都走的好孤独
啊!多么痛的领悟
你曾是我的全部
只愿你挣脱情的枷锁
爱的束缚任意追逐
别再为爱受苦

8:22:00

8:21:56

At a Hawker Centre in Bedok

Hawker: 先生，你要吃什么 (Sir, what do you want to eat) ?

Ah Meng: Herm..

8:21:57

At an ongoing mahjong game somewhere in the Woodland

Ah Beng is just one 九筒 (Nine Circle) away from completing the seemingly impossible 十三么 (Thirteen Tile) hand.

Ah Beng: Kin ah, faster discard your tile la..

8:21:58

Over in Geylang

Ah Seng is onto his third durian. Those 3 for 10 dollars kind.

Ah Seng: *suckle suckle*

8:21:59

Back in Bedok

Ah Meng: Mee pok tak, 辣椒多，不要豆... (Mee pok dry, more chilli, no bean spr...)

While somewhere in Woodland

One of Ah Beng's mahjong kaki is just about to discard a mahjong tile.

MJ Kaki: Jiu To..(Nine Cir...)

And Ah Seng is still suckling on his durian seed in Geylang

Ah Seng: *suckle suckle*

8:22:00

*chimes chimes*

At this moment the entire nation grinds to a halt. Its citizen rising to their feet, right fist clenched and placed over their left chest..

8:22:01

We, the citizens of Singapore
pledge ourselves as one united people,
regardless of race, language or religion,
to build a democratic society,
based on justice and equality,
so as to achieve happiness, prosperity and
progress for our nation.

8:23:01

Over in Bedok

Hawker: 先生先生，你没事吧？是不是鬼上身了啊? (Sir, are you alright? Are you possessed?)

Ah Meng: Huh, 你不知道吗？今天National Day, 8:22pm 要讲pledge. (Huh, you didn't know? Today is National Day, we need to recite the pledge at 8:22pm)

Hawker: 我不知道，我从中国来的。(I don't know, I'm from China.)

Back to the Mahjong game at Woodland

Ah Beng: Eh, just now who threw 九筒 (Nine Circle) ah? Who ah?

Mahjong Kakis: Got meh? Forgot liao la. We forgot whose turn is it liao also. Restart!

While over in Geylang

Durian stall customer: Help help! Someone call 995! Someone choked on a durian seed while reciting the pledge just now!

============================================================================

Wishing a Happy National Day to all Singaporeans. If you wish to take part in the pledge moment at 8:22pm, remember to do it under a safe and conducive environment. Majulah Singapura!
