  Seriously. When I get hooked onto something, I really get my claws into it until something else catches my attention. This time around, it's listening to Jonas Brothers - When You Look Me In The Eyes and Taylor Swift - Our Song for 2 whole days. And unfortunately, this streak of insanity is showing no signs of dissipating any time soon.
  
  Well, not really that unfortunate la. After a couple of weeks listening to unintelligible Japanese anime songs, English songs are like a breath of fresh air. At least I can understand what they're singing about. The thing about English songs is that the lyrics are very straightforward - they talk about things that we can actually visualize happening around us - compared to abstract Chinese lyrics, which are very beautiful and all, but sometimes i think they're just trying too hard to be mysterious and poetic.
  
  

  When you look me in the eyes
  And tell me that you love me
  Everything's alright
  When you're right here by my side
  When you look me in the eyes
  I catch a glimpse of heaven
  I found my paradise
  When you look me in the eyes

  赢不了你温柔挑衅
  只好丢弃 只好不回忆
  用沉默反击
