A colleague of mine sent me a link after reading my FB status.
It was a picture of clouds and sky, followed by a song lyrics.
Lemon Tree.
I never like that song, the reason is because of the suckish Mandarin version by a female Taiwanese singer... And the song was played so often during then - on the school bus radio, tv, pasar malam... basically everywhere... Ish!
But now, when I read the lyrics, I start to understand what the song writer trying to express.
It was a happy sad song, just like the Pearl Jam's Last Kiss...
The two powerful opposed metaphors. Irony of life.

For the record, Last Kiss isn't Pearl Jam's. And it's not supposed to be a happy sad song. It's just sad. And to mention Pearl Jam in the same post as Fool's Garden is just, absurd!
