我的五月的天
在今年的五月发生了很多。 在今年的五月， 我看了两 场五月天的演唱会。 那两场多么精彩的演唱会。五月天在今年的五月回到了地球， 他们也把我带回了地球，这个风狂的世界。
Stealing a quote from Ashin, the lead singer of Mayday,"在这几场演唱会后，五月天就要踏踏实实的准备下一张专辑了。". (please note that I may changed some words as I cannot remember the exact words). Today is the last concert Mayday will be having in 2008. Its being held in Hong Kong and several friends I know will be attending the concert. I see similarities between what Ashin said and the current situation in my life.
All good things have to come to an end. The concerts probably signified a time of fun for Mayday where they get to play music they love/enjoy and interact with their fans, however, no rock band can move ahead without making new music to keep their fans interested so after this series of concerts, they will be taking a break to work on their new album. Finishing off their concert tour in the month of May was probably a deliberate decision for them as they had named themselves after the month of May and this year the month of May will signify both an end and a beginning for them.
For me, the decisions which I have made happened to coincide with the month of May. No, as much as I am a huge fan of Mayday, I do not do crazy things like purposely making my decisions to coincide with May. This May signifies an end and a beginning for me too. I have left behind a comfortable, well paying job (albeit that I had to work very long hours) and numerous friends which I have made over the years. It was a comfortable environment which I sometimes work on auto-pilot after so many years and with good work mates I could count on. But my decision has been made and come 2 June, I will be starting work in a new place. Of course I am not without my apprehensions but sometimes I have to make a decision for me too and what I think may be good for me. So just as the concerts were a form of playtime for Mayday, they were a playtime to me too before I embark on this new path where I have to use the knowledge I have gained in the past few years and learn to work well with my new colleagues.
In the next few months, just as Mayday will be working hard on their new album, I will be working hard in my new job. Next year, after Mayday's new album is released, they will begin a new concert tour and you can bet that I will be there again screaming my lungs out and singing along with them, wherever I may be or they may be.
五月天， 明年我们会再见面！ 在那时之前， 让我们一起加油吧！
