This is one \"memorable\" statement made by one of the more infamous contestants in a China match-making show. After being blasted by netizens, she learnt to keep her mouth shut :roll:

This is one of my favourites:


Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

This is also my favourite. I am not a Christian but I am always moved whenever I read this. Like now.

Thanks for sharing this, MyChildren :hugs:

I was really not into the pop songs of today but actually this one has really meaningful lyrics


Fireworks by Katy Perry

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?

Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams, but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July

'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh, oh, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Hope this is inspirational enough

Thanks for sharing this song, cfan!

Indeed the lyrics are very meaningful. I enjoy listening to this song a lot.

In fact methinks if you have seen the videoclip, Katy perry looks quite emotional herself while singing this song

鄧麗君 《但願人長久》 ~ 千里共嬋娟 中秋節快樂 ！

明月几时有，把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，今昔是何年。
我欲乘风归去，又恐琼楼玉宇，
高处不胜寒。起舞弄清影，
何似在人间。

转朱阁，低绮户，
照无眠。不应有恨，何事长向别时圆。
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。
但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。
