失眠夜
<失眠夜> 曲词:陈容森 原唱：张学友还记得初次相约
手牵着手一起赏月
和你度过短短的一夜
盼望时间能多些
让我拥有多一个夜
让你也能够了解
我的心情内心的世界
我的感觉
C:总是在一个失眠的夜
我就会盼望你的出现
你有美丽温柔的双眼
我可以看见
就是在一个这样的夜
我就会对你特别思念
我愿意抛开身边所有的一切
爱你多些
还记得初次相约
肩并着肩一起谈天
和你共度最美的感觉
盼望时间能慢些
让我拥有每一个夜
不管是月圆月缺
只要是有你就有一切
浪漫的夜
夜的诗人：“
I always get very upset with sleepless nights, or nights where my sleep had been rudely robbed by acts of inconsideration. Because I know the next morning I will feel like crap and wouldn't have the spirit to do whatever I have set out to do. Also, my mind will set itself free to think of many things. The other reason why I hate 失眠夜s, is the incessant bed tossing and then checking the clock repeatedly, only to find that mere minutes have trickled past.
I guess urban dwellers are so distracted and occupied by activities that they hardly get a quiet time. Television and radio stations run 24/7, internet will always find you someone who is still awake around the globe, and in Singapore, there are nuts who club till their office opens again. For me, anything lesser than the psychological level of 7 hours of sleep per night, is inhumane. As a under-acheiving undergraduate, maybe I should be more 'inhumane', and drink even more coffee.
The sense of emptiness and loneliness when you toss in your bed can be unbearable. You don't want to wake up and do something more meaningful than tossing because that would mean you will ultimately sleep less, and wake up even more tired. You try to coax yourself to sleep, but it never seem to work. Then you try again to get out of the bed to find something to do, but you decided against it because you are too lazy to do so. Finally, you start to think and imagine, you get more awake, and lose even more sleep. The emptiness will hit you like a truck and then the loneliness will bowl you over like a tank.
Sometimes letting your mind run wild can be fun. You can do things you will never do in real life. I went out with the girl you like. I made mazy runs at the defenders, turn around them, let rip a screamer right into the top corner of the goal. I was celebrated and congratulated for your efforts contributed. I drove in a F1 race. Imaginations can also make a dip dramatically, and I broke my foot from a bad tackle. I did my best but got screwed for a cock-up beyond my control. The girl I fancy tells me that I am a nice guy but we should just be friends.
Nonetheless, I've found the formula to prevent sleeplessness; do a 10-hour ushering assignment for a musical, making sure it involves no sitting on the job. If my other half has to stand for long hours for her job, I will massage her calves everynight she returns home. Or buy a iChair or iPamper thingy for the calves. They should invent some massage thingy and then call it iShiok, only sold in Singapore because only we know the word 'shiok'. Hmmm ... ermm ... maybe can only sell to adults.
Well .. people who stayed over or bunked in with me will know I deprive other people of sleep with my 50-piece orchestra aka 5-tonner. I've found a profound name for it, it's called sleep apnea. I'm really sorry ... I couldn't help it.”
