Happy Chap Goh Mei



Today is Chap Goh Mei and it marks the last day of Chinese New Year for 2009.

I am glad to share another photo of lanterns decoration at KL's Thean Hou Temple. Not a very sharp shot but I love the rows of lanterns and would like to share it with all of you.

The 51st Grammy Award is being shown on TV now. I love Jennifer Hudson. She looks great! I am glad that Coldplay won awards for Viva la Vida! I like that song. I have posted videos of Coldplay's Viva la Vida to be shared here with all of you.

Are you watching? Did you favourite singer/group win any award?

Viva La Vida by Coldplay
=======================

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

(Ooooh Oooh Oooh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

I also like this live performance of the same song!

Great capture of the lanterns and temple. Very nice. Happy New Year! I started the Lunar New Year with celebratory photos on my website. And yes, I like Coldplay also!

"Use your first smile, your first form of generosity, of love, of kindness—use it at home; start at home. And if there is something left over—if … your plate is just full of abundance of patience and goodness and smiles and joy, then by all means, you should go … and offer that to others. But we must begin at home." by Dr Robin Smith
