楊宗緯 – 洋葱
作词/作曲：阿信(五月天)

如果你眼神能够为我
片刻的降临
如果你能听到
心碎的声音
沉默的守护着你
沉默的等奇迹
沉默的让自己
像是空气
大家都吃着聊着笑着
今晚多开心
最角落里的我
笑得多合群
盘底的洋葱像我
永远是调味品
偷偷的看着你
偷偷的隐藏着自己
如果你愿意一层一层一层
的剥开我的心
你会发现 你会讶异
你是我 最压抑
最深处的秘密
如果你愿意一层一层一层
的剥开我的心
你会鼻酸 你会流泪
只要你能 听到我
看到我的全心全意
听你说你和你的他们
暧昧的空气
我和我的绝望
装得很风趣
我就样一颗洋葱
永远是配角戏
多希望能与你
有一秒 专属的剧情

As for wanting your bone marrow…I just saw an interesting email from NTU/NIE..It’s a general appeal for people to join the Bone Marrow Register. What’s Bone Marrow Register?

Bone Marrow Donor Program (BMDP) – http://www.bmdp.org/

The Bone Marrow Donor Programme (BMDP) is a Singapore-based non-profit organisation dedicated to building and managing a Register of Singaporean volunteers who are willing to donate their bone marrow to patients of leukemia and other blood diseases.

Leukemia is a major killer of children within the age group of 0-15 and a bone marrow transplant offers the only hope of a cure for many leukemia patients. However, the odds of matching a patient with his or her siblings are 1 in 4 and for those without a sibling donor, the chances of finding an unrelated match are 1 in 20,000.

How to go about doing it?

The procedure for the HLA typing is very simple.
1) Fill in Registration Form
2) Provide blood sample via finger prick for HLA tissue typing
3) Resume everyday activities. BMDP will call you only IF you are found to be a potential match.
4) IF you are found to be a potential match, you will be asked for more blood samples (2 X 10ml) to confirm match
5) You will be sent for a health screening to ensure you’re medically fit to undergo harvesting
The blood sample collection just takes minutes and is free of charge.

Why do I need your bone marrow?

No, I’m not diagnosed with leukemia. My birthday is coming (tee-hee! international women’s day!) and this one’s on my wishlist. I’ve been blessed with quite a fulfilling life. So this birthday, rather than hankering over my never-ending material wants, which can never be fulfilled this lifetime haha =D, I’m thinking of having adding a little more significance to this important day (it’s IWD afterall!) by doing my little bit for someone else.

To us, it’s just a harmless prick on our fingertips and a little bit of our blood but it goes a long way to helping someone struggling for survival. Don’t wanna sound 伟大 cuz I don’t even know if I’ll help anyone with this little gesture. In this life, there’s too much uncertainties that are beyond our control. At the very least, this decision is something that’s within my control. Who knows what the future brings…it might be a match for someone out there. Or maybe if I’m down with leukemia in the future, this little gesture from someone else will save my life?

Okie…anyone who’s interested and knows me personally, can contact me then we can arrange a time to go down together. Any 路人甲 that happens to bump across this monologue and is interested, can leave a comment to this post too =)
