坐在这里 天天在等
虽有目的 早知不可能
日日夜夜 看着天亮
日日夜夜 等到地暗了
不见你 不见地 只见来往人群
但我的渴望让我继续下去

每天如此等 等到人心都冷
坐立不安稳 只好无奈地唱着
唱到快发疯 都忘了在等什么
只好从头等 等到天色都冷
还得继续地等 还得继续地等

坐在这里 无奈地等
看着日起夕落 很想放弃等
日日夜夜 没有结果
日日夜夜 空虚寂寞
不见你 不见夕 只见来往人群
但我的渴望让我继续下去

每天如此等 等到人心都冷
坐立不安稳 只好无奈地唱着
唱到快发疯 都忘了在等什么
只好从头等 等到天色都冷
还得继续地等 还得继续地等

just recorded the demo for this song which won me an award. haha~ it was such a long time ago when i wrote this song. i could still remember clearly that i wrote this song during my secondary 4 chinese class when i was so bored. den my chinese teacher (Mr Yeong) took my lyrics and read it to the class and made fun that i should write three songs all together : 《等》、《等待着》、《等到了》. it's interesting to note that i did write the second song, which was much darker than this first one, but not as nice.

ppl have always tot it is love that i'm waiting for in this song, just because of the use of the word “你”. little do they know, it's actualli referring to a dream, my dream. i've been waiting for a chance to know if i could make my dream come true. haha~ i remembered imagining myself sitting by the marina bay, under the Benjamin Sheares Bridge, watching the sun set and rise everyday as i wait and wait. it has always been something i want to do, to sit under that bridge to watch the cityscape change it's hue and colour together with the rising and setting of the sun.

two days ago, Beldin called me up to ask me if i want to take over the organisation of the workshop. i got a shock. to me, the workshop is one of the most important thing in the company and he's actually asking me personally if i want to take over the planning of this. does that mean i'm already an integral part of this company. oh, i'm not keeping my hopes too high, although it does feel good to think of it this way once in a while. *smile*

it's been five years since i wrote 《等》, and finally 我等到了. as i re-record the vocals and arrangement for this song, i discovered i've sounded happier and more optimistic now. hold on to your dreams and wait patiently. things will happen. just believe. that's wut i learned in this five years.

maybe i should write a 《等到了》. haha.
