This post is delicated to Ye, and as a thank for all the help he has given to me in the NHG Project
Ye is a programmer in my company, and he was given a very difficult work to do, to assist me to fix the codes of a program that he has not written.
Nonetheless, he helped me to fix the bug, which makes him work till late at night. Alot of times I feel very bad that he is working so late because of my inablity to help him. Many times, I would hear this song sung to him by someone ;). So I asked if he knows what this song is about and he said no. Therefore I decided to place this MTV for him to see.
I found a link containing the translation, therefore Ye, you can read it now and know what the song is about.
Actually once I came across this very beautifully created Music TV from a user jenv92 in You-tube. Then I decided to just splash it on my blog
But then I was thinking to myself, it would be cool to try to translate this song for the fun of it. But then I realise that in order to translate the actually meaning of the song, would mean losing the poetic part of it. I guess all of you must have already know that I am no poet, but since I have completed it, I might as well paste it here this round.
In this case, I have added the hanyu pinyin as well as the English translation of it. Please bear with my non poetic English 😉

Ok, heres the Youtube version of that MTV that i was trying to put up here.
This song is delicated to my Law Soc team, actually not much reasons, maybe because i have been playing that all the time 😉 Meanwhile enjoy
Title: Bad Day
Artist: Daniel Powter
Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
You tell me your blue skies fade to grey
You tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Because you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well, you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
(Oh.. Holiday..)
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong (ahhh...)
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh, you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
'Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
(Oh, yeah, yeaaah, yeah)
Had a bad day
(Oh, had a bad day)
Had a bad day
(Oh, yeah, yeah, yeeeeah)
Had a bad day
(Oh, had a bad day)
Had a bad day...
Had a bad day...
I have attached the Chipmunks version as it is the common one that I played for my team working in Law Soc
