Neglect

2011-11-16T13:56:00.000+08:00

It's been a while that I started to blog again. Too occupied with work and travelling, and time really files with us leaving only 1.5months left before 2011 ends. Recollecting what I have done this year, one important thing was at least I have achieved better work performance, but my personal life? i should say is barely a pass on a score sheet. I seriously need to sit down and think properly what I need to do next and plan properly for 2012 (since 2012 was a year I plan to do great stuff when I was much younger), otherwise I will start running away from wedding invitations :p (don't blame me my frenz!)

눈뜨고도 널 바라보지 못해
지친 추억에 흐려진 너의 맘을 난 찾지 못해
많이 울고 지쳐 더 이상 못해
생각해도 너를 보면 괜찮을 것 같아

지켜주고 싶어
너의 잘못된 나쁜 버릇들까지도
힘든 날 웃게 만드는거야
좀 힘들겠지만 널 사랑해 라고 말도 할거야
먼저 내 품에 오는 날까지

웃지 못해 웃어도 기억 못해
오늘 하루도 꿈처럼 눈뜨면 사라질 것 같은
널보고도 곁에 없는 것 같아
표현이 서투른가봐 널 사랑하기엔

지켜주고 싶어
너의 잘못된 나쁜 버릇들까지도
힘든 날 웃게 만드는거야
좀 힘들겠지만 널 사랑해 라고 말도 할거야
먼저 내 품에 오는 날까지

혹시 다른 온기를 찾아
내게 떠나가 행복해 할거니
그래도 널 보낼 수 없어
baba 죽기보다 더 아플 텐데

내가 널 사랑해..
다른 누구도 아니 네 앞에 있잖아
내가 니 손을 잡고 있잖아

누군가의 품에 줄 수 없어 애써 웃고 있잖아
보낼 수 없어하는 맘을 왜

그래 웃어봐 행복이 오게

그래 웃어봐 사랑도 내 품에 안기게

저 하늘 별처럼 많은 꿈들도

그래 일어나 주저 앉지마

그래 일어나 하루에 한 걸음이라도

느린 걸음도 괜찮을 거야

나의 눈에 눈물 고여올 때

나의 볼에 눈물 흐를 때면

크게 소리 질러 슬픔도 놀라 도망칠 거야

나의 가슴 무너져 내릴 때

나의 가슴이 시리게 아파 올 때면

크게 웃어 희망이 날 찾을 수 있게

이젠 괜찮아 웃을 수 있어

이젠 괜찮아 너와 함께 할 수 있다면

힘이 들 땐 쉬어가면 되니까

조금 높아도 넘을 수 있어

앞을 막아도 잠시 돌아가면 되니까

절대 그 자리에 멈추지는 마

나의 눈에 눈물 고여올 때

나의 볼에 눈물 흐를 때면

크게 소리 질러 슬픔도 놀라 도망칠 거야

나의 가슴 무너져 내릴 때

나의 가슴이 시리게 아파 올 때면

크게 웃어 희망이 날 찾을 수 있게

두 팔 활짝 펴고

넘어 질 수 있어 그건 실패가 아니야

훌훌 털어내 울고 있지는 않아

일어나서 다시 뛰어 가면 되니까

가끔 사랑에 웃기도 하고

가끔 사랑에 울기도 해도

그런 모든 것이 나를 강하게 할 테니까

가끔 사랑에 전부를 걸고

가끔 사랑에 후회를 한다고 해도

난 괜찮아 나는 오늘도 꿈을 꾸며

거리를 나설 거야

려욱 - 더 사랑한다면 Reowook (Super Junior) – if I love you more

어디서든 떠올라 무얼하든 생각 나 regardless of the place, it always appears; while doing whatever, I always think of

너의 향기가 내게 불어 와 your scent blows towards me

멍 하니 걸어 가다가 너를 만날 때마다 every time when I am walking with a spaced out mind, I meet you

내 입술이 굳어 가 my lips will freeze up

아무도 아무도 아무도 모르는 말no idea (3x), I have no idea of what to say

하루도 하루도 하지 못 한 말 day by day, the words that I’m unable to say

*사랑해 사랑해 내가 아는 다른 누구보다 I love you (2x), more than the rest I know

언제나 그리운 사람 그 사람은 너 였다 always, the person I miss, is you

하지만 나만 들리는 슬픈 혼잣말 but only me can hear the sad words I say to myself

사랑하고 더 사랑한다 I love you and if I love you more

스쳐가는 눈길에 지나치는 손길에 the snow paths that we have been through, the hands that we have touched

느린 심장이 서둘러 뛰고 and the slow-moving heart is beating extremely fast

나를 안 보아줄 땐 말을 안 걸어줄 땐 when you don’t look at me, when you don’t call out to me

가슴 먹먹해지고 and my heart is devastated

그래도 그래도 그래도 웃어 본다 but still (x3) I try to smile

그러다 그러다 눈물이 난다 but (x2) my tears just come down

*repeat

이런 내 맘 알게 되는 날 until the day you know my feelings,

그땐 너도 나처럼 사랑한다 말 할까 but will you be like me to say I love you?

조금 더조금만 니가 다가오길 기다리다 a little more, just a little more, I am waiting for you to come closer

언제나 외로운 사람 그 사람은 나였다 always a lonely person, that person is me

오늘도 너의 뒤에서 서 있는 내가 even today I am behind your back

내일이면 니 옆에 있을까 when it is tomorrow, will you be beside me?

사랑하고 더 사랑 한다면 I love you and if I love you more

째깍 째깍 들리는 시계가 멈춘다 'tick tock~ x2' the watch I hear has stopped

나 입술은 이별은 얘기한다 my lips has said the words of farewell

또각 또각 너의 발걸음 멀이진다 저 멀리 'step step~ x2' my steps has gotten further, that far

찾지 못해 나는 못해 어떻게 널 잡아 I can't find you, I can't, how to hold on to you

*사랑은 또 또 love, again, again

이렇게 멀어져가고 how did it get further

눈물은 또 또 tears, again, again

말없이 흐르고 있고 without words, is streaming down

가슴은 왜 왜 heart, why, why

너같은 사람을 만나 to meet a person like you

상처주고 to give me wounds and

아프게하는지 painfully

차곡 차곡 쌓아논 추억이 스친다 'recording~ 2x' I have come across lots of memories

바람처럼 하늘에 흩날린다 like the wind, they are blown away in the sky

뚜벅 뚜벅 나의 발걸음 멈춰진다 그대로 'tip tap~ 2x' my steps has come to a stop, like that

사랑해서 사랑해서 나 너를 보낸다 because I love you 2x, I have sent you away

*repeat

미칠것 같아서 죽을 것 같아서 because I was like crazy, because I felt like dying

너의 이름만 크게 외친다 has cried out only your name loudly

사랑해 너 널 I love you, you, you

눈물로 흩어지는 말 through the tears, the scattered words

죽어도 날 날 even to die, that day, day

너없이 안된다는 말 without you, the regretted words

그래도 꼭 꼭 even though, must, must

이것 하나만 알아줘 only this, understand

널 만나서 행복했었다고 because I met you, I was blissful

How annoying Dad is at times, my heart will still soften for him. Seeing him on the hospital bed, tears were holding up in my eye bags. Finally somehow forced him to stay in the hospital for further check-ups. I was talking to him non-stop for at least 3 hrs while waiting for the doctor, and dad seemed to lighten up a little and put him at better ease. Having some of my dear ones passing away due to heart problems, I might have over-react hearing his chestpain. In the occasion that the heart attack really happens, I will regret my whole life that I did not be firm in insisting dad's treatment. Really wishing him that all the test results will go fine, and he can be discharged really soon, and hopefully tonight he could sleep well. Night dad~~

I'm not a noble person, telling that to my colleagues. I went because I just wanted to send good blessings to them, just that and nothing more. Somehow, the thought of dressing up was to send a message to everyone that I am doing well. And indeed, I did and they were surprised that that was me. I'm no longer the school girl back then, I am a lady now. I was pleased with the reactions, but was not exactly totally happy, because I am not 'her'. But now, no hard feelings really. This has finally marked an end. A close. No tears, and nothing.

Agree to it, I am a more than just emotional person. To move on to another portfolio is to forgo my old contacts and make new ones. It is just like studying, changing classes every year, parting with old classmates and making new ones. If only it is going for the better that I find it worth it to forgo old news. But is this happening now to me? Am I happy to change?

To change for a more prospect portfolio, I have many supports. But my inner self tells me otherwise. The aching feeling is squeezing me now and then. Exacerbating further whenever I'm about to say goodbye. The words just won't come out from my mouth, when I called my contacts. I just don't have the heart to say it. Now, I see how great is email, able to hide my feelings to its minimum. But my wonderful contacts would send their best regards to me, saying this was sad news to them and they will miss me... gosh~ I am really not going at bidding farewell. I am going to miss them, miss my old portfolio. But I have to say THANK YOU! thank you so much for enduring my ignorant when I just taken up the portfolio last year, thank you for being such nice people teaching me through and giving me valuable information and thank you so much for being such great contacts. I'm going to miss you dearly. I am and will be...

Well today is working day of coz! the first day of the conference. Firstly, I sat on a mini car, which supposed to be known as taxi to the conference hall. Seriously, I really dunno how does taxi look like yet in India. I shall open my eyes bigger to identify tml.

One really irritating thing at the conference is that, there is no seats outside the hall!!!! only less than ten small round tables at the lounge. I practically stood the whole day, except while talking to contacts and I managed to sit down. No lunch for me......... becoz there isn't much food in the vincity too!!! my basf contact was like - i'm hungry too, but seems like only dinner is possible. Seiously I'm likely that I stay near, so there is no need for me to take the shuttle bus, and instead I just called the travel agent for a cab.

The cab uncle was so funny, he just felt that I'm cheated by the travel agent as I have paid him before I board the cab. The cab uncle was saying cab services from the expo to hotel are free, as the travel agent is supposed to do so, so it was wrong for the travel agent to do that. I was surprised. Nice ppl! Surprisingly, Indians here can speak English pretty well!

Ohoh! talking about good looking guys, I am taking back my words. Seems like only the guy stuff at my hotel are better looking, the rest are not so.... ya... below average :p

Actually I felt great today! although 've walked the whole day at the conference and skipped lunch, contacts' postitve comments on my reports really made my day! I just love them all ^^

무슨말 했는지 기억조차 안나

바라보는 너의 눈빛속에
행복한 미소만 있길 바래

우리 서로 사랑하는 사이가 될꺼야
아껴주고 편히 기대면 되
너를 보는 나의 두 눈빛이
말하고 있어
널 사랑해

Beauty treats you could eat

2011-01-10T11:16:00.004+08:00

Originated from Shirley Ho, channelnewsasia.com | Posted: 07 January 2011 1539 hrs http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/beautynfashion/view/1103286/1/.html

A homemade facial is simple, says Coreenna Ong founder of Vitasence, a successful home-grown brand of natural and herbal skin care. It’s also important.
“When a person is relaxed, the skin will benefit and look better too,” says Ong who is an advocate of the use of natural ingredients.
“If you use organic ingredients, you can be absolutely sure that a homemade masque is free of synthetic fillers or chemicals,” she says.

Facial cleanser

[normal-to-oily] Cucumber and yoghurt
1. Mix 1 tablespoon of plain unsweetened yogurt together with a quarter of mashed or finely minced cucumber.
2. Apply on wet face and massage gently in circular motions. Rinse off thoroughly with water and pat dry
- Cucumber is a very versatile skin care ingredient, as it has excellent cooling, softening, soothing and healing properties.

[mature skin-types] Apple, pear and yoghurt
Combine mashed apple and pear with plain unsweetened yogurt in a small bowl and mix well.
- Apples contain malic acid which is a natural AHA that helps to remove dead skin cells.
- Being rich in antioxidants, the cleanser is excellent for matured skin, pears are highly moisturising and help to firm the skin.

Facial Steam
A facial steam often follows a general cleanse, to clear the skin surface from dirt and excess oil that might not be removed by cleansing alone. The high temperature also stimulates blood circulation and open up pores.
1. Grab a towel and a large bowl of hot water, with a few drops of essential oils if you prefer.
2. Hold your face a comfortable distance from the rising steam that’s captured by the towel covering your head.
3. If you’re bothered by zits, this is the time to zap them – but gently and not with your nails, to avoid scars.
4. After a quick rinse, it is now time for the best part. Get the pet or kid off the sofa as the mask is prepared.

Mask

[oily and acne-prone] Green Bean with Coix Seed, also known as Yi Ren or Chinese Barley
1. Begin by washing coix seeds and green beans, drain and air dry thoroughly before grinding both into a fine powder. (If you find this is too much of a hassle, look for the ready-ground powders off the shelves in some supermarkets and Chinese medicinal halls.)
2. Mix together 1 tablespoon of each powder with a sufficient amount of distilled water to make a light paste.
3. Apply evenly onto freshly cleansed skin for 20 minutes before rinsing off thoroughly.

[Dry-to-mature - Nourishing Avocado Masque] Honey, buttermilk and avocado
1. Use a ripe avocado, which should be soft at the top when lightly pressed.
2. Scoop out the green flesh and run it in a blender or processor until a smooth puree is obtained.
3. Mix into the puree, the mixture of 1 teaspoon of honey dissolved in 4 teaspoons of warm buttermilk.
4. As much as you’d want to lick the spoon, avoid doing so, at least until after you apply the paste onto your face and neck area.
5. After 20 to 30 minutes, rinse off the mixture with warm water.
-This facial masque is rich in natural oils and essential fatty acids
-Ingredients are rich in vitamins A, D, E, potassium, sulfur and natural oils.

[Skin whitening, skin calming and rejuvenation - Almond Milk Masque] Almond, oatmeal, skim milk and honey
1. All it takes is, 1 tablespoon of ground almond meal, ½ tablespoon of oatmeal, 2- 4 teaspoons of warm skim milk and 1 teaspoon of raw honey.
2. Dissolving the honey in the skim milk, before adding the ground almond meal and oatmeal, to mix into a thick, even paste to be applied for 20 to 30 minutes.

Toner
To close the pores of the skin, which is important to prevent any infection or breakouts, a soothing toner needs to be used.
“So people have this misconception that ‘if I have oily skin, or acne skin, I must have alcohol to combat this’. It’s wrong“
“This is because alcohol dries out the skin. It gives a cooling sensation, but it is actually water in your skin that is evaporating… moisture evaporating from the skin,” says Ong who points out that an alcohol-based toner will dry up your skin and is harmful in the long run.
As many toners on the market contain alcohol, Ong suggests making your own toner.

[normal to oily or acne-prone - Antibacterial Rosemary and Thyme Facial Toner] – Thyme, rosemary, distilled water, lemon juice
1. You will need a teaspoon of dried thyme, a teaspoon of dried rosemary, a cup of distilled water, and a teaspoon fresh lemon juice.
2. After rinsing the herbs once to remove any dust or debris, soak the herbs in the distilled water for 15 minutes and then heat lightly, but do not allow it to boil.
3. Remove from the heat and allow it to cool completely before taking out the herbs from the mixture and adding the lemon juice.
4. Give the solution a good mix before storing in a clean glass bottle that you can pop into the fridge for a cool toner.

[more potent mixture - Rose and Apple Cider Vinegar Toner] Rosebuds/chamomile flowers, apple cider vinegar, distilled water
1. This calls for 2 tablespoons of dried rosebuds (or chamomile flowers or combine both), 1 cup of distilled water and 1 teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar.
2. Give the dried flowers a 15 minute soak in the distilled water before heating the mixture.
3. After it’s been allowed to cool, add in the organic apple cider vinegar and mix well.
4. Remove the flowers before storing the mixture in a clean glass bottle (preferably dark glass).
5. You will need to create a fresh batch of toner after about 4-5 days advises Ong as the mixtures do not contain any preservatives.
6. Top it all up with a serum or lotion which Ong suggests is best bought off the shelf.

Lotions, creams and serums
These as opposed to masks, toners, or even yogurt cleansers, require processes like heating, emulsification and homogenization. Also, to keep these leave-on products stable and contamination-free, it is important to have a proper preservative system in place.
“All these procedures are too troublesome for consumers” says Ong who advises quality moisturisers that are 100% free of alcohol, synthetic color and fragrance, which are the key causes for sensitive and allergic reactions to the skin.

Exfoliation
The process which promotes skin cell renewal is often overlooked in skincare routines but at the same time, care needs to be observed when giving it a scrub.
“But scrubbing the skin regularly may cause micro-scratches (when viewing the skin under a microscope). Hence, using a scrub may be too harsh for the delicate facial skin,” says Ong.
A better option she suggests, is to remove surface dead skin cells by using enzymes or acids in fruit such as papayas or lemons.

[daily-weekly] Ripen papaya
Always use ripened papaya as the enzymes in green, un-ripened papaya may be too strong on the skin. Also, you should leave on the papaya mask for no more than 5 minutes
-It is full of papain, a natural enzyme that helps to digest protein. By virtue of its protein-dissolving properties, a papaya mask helps to remove dead skin cells.

[daily, light exfoliation] – Lemon juice and distilled water
1. A simple skin freshener/toner with 50ml distilled water and 2-3 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice which you can store in a spray bottle placed in the fridge.
2. Use it at night after cleansing. Please note that this toner should only be used at night as lemon juice may react adversely with the skin when the skin is exposed to sunlight.

Precaution - patch test
You might think that your skin isn't troubled, but skin on the surface often keeps irritations a secret.
1. To carry out a patch, just apply the product in the size of 20-cent coin size or teaspoon, around the jaw area.
2. If it is a mask, leave on for the suggested duration before removing, then wait 12 hours to see if any allergic reaction develops.
3. Signs of adverse reaction include: redness, rashes, swelling, burning sensation, sneezing, headaches and itchiness.
4. In addition, it is not advisable to have a facial when your skin is experiencing unusual allergic outbreak and also advises against the DIY facials immediately after going through lasers, chemical peeling or other invasive cosmetic procedures.

[가사] 너는 나의 봄이다 - 성시경 Sung Si Kyung 시크럿 가든 Secret Garden OST

2011-01-03T18:28:00.003+08:00

어쩌자고 난 널 알아봤을까 for what reason for me to understand you
또 어쩌자고 난 너에게 다가갔을까 and for what reason for me to go closer to you

떠날 수도 없는 이젠 now I can’t run away
너를 뒤에 두고 걸어도 even walking behind your back
보이는 것은 네 모습뿐인 걸being looked at, my one of a kind girl

언젠가 네가 했던 아픈 말 always your hurtful words
서로를 만나지 않았다면 if we don’t meet each other
더 힘들었을까 너는will you be more painful and tough

*울고 있다 참고 있다 crying, enduring
고갤 든다 아프게 웃는다 folding to listen, hurtfully smiling
노을빛 웃음 온 세상 물들이고 있다 Dying the upcoming world with a sparkling laugh

보고 싶다 안고 싶다 miss you, want to hug you
네 곁에 있고 싶다 아파도 want to be beside you, even it hurts
너의 곁에 잠들고 싶다 want to fall sleep beside you

첨 그날부터 뒷걸음질 친 너 from that first day, you are stepping backing
또 첨 그날부터 이별을 떠올렸던 나 and from that first day, rose to separation and I

널 너무 갖고 싶어도 even if I really want to have you
외면할 수 없었던 것들 being unable to look away
차가운 세상 서글픈 계산들 freezing world, lonesome figures

아무리 조심해도 애써도 however being so careful, even to struggle
아무리 아닌 척 밀어내도 however not instantly, even to press forward
이미 난 네가 좋아 I already like you

보고 싶다 달려간다 miss you, run up to you
두드린다 넌 놀라 웃는다 pat you, you play and smile
동그란 웃음 온 세상 다 어루만진다 ease all the upcoming world with a round laugh

**울지 마라 가지 마라 don’t cry, don’t go
이제는 머물러라 내 곁에 and now to stay beside you
넌 따뜻한 나의 봄인 걸 you will be my warm spring

아직 망설이는 네 맘 앞에 still hesitating to be by my side
그래도 멈추지 못할 내 마음 even though without a stop my heart
네게 남은 두려움 너를 안고 않아 to you the lingering fear, not to hold you
내 품이 편해질 때까지my bosom, until you become comfortable

*repeat
**repeat

마침내 만나게 된 finally we meet
너는 나의 따뜻한 봄이다 you are my warm spring

서울 이야기

2010-12-29T16:38:00.000+08:00

서울은 현재 한국의 수도다. 조선 시대부터 지금까지 약 600년 동안 한국의 수도였다. 지금 서울의 모습은 옛날과 많이 다르지만 아직도 옛날의 아름다운 모습을 여기 저기에서 볼 수 있다.

서울에는 대학교도 많이 있고, 여러 가지 박물관과 옛날 건물도 많이 있다. 서울은 세계에서 일곱 번째로 큰 도시고, 현재 서울에 살고 있는 사람이 천만 명이 넘는다. 서울의 안과 밖에는 아름다운 산이 많이 있고 한강이 서울의 가운데를 흐르고 있다. 한강 위에는 다리가 스무 개쯤 있는데 지금도 계속 다리를 만들고 있다.

서울은 교통이 복잡해서 운전을 하면서 구경하는 것이 어렵다. 그래서 서울을 구경할 때는 운전을 하는 것보다 지하철이나 버스를 타는 것이 더 좋다.

[중급] 제 1 과 – 비행기에서

2010-12-06T16:49:00.007+08:00

서울로 가는 비행기 안은 크고[1] 넓었다. 현배는 자기[2] 좌석에[3] 편히 앉았다. 비행기는 곧[4] 출발해서 하늘을 날기 시작했다[5]. 창 밖에 보이는 푸른 하늘과 흰 구름이 아름다웠다. 현배는 처음으로 한국에 가는 길이다. 여름방학이라[6] 비행기 안에는 빈[7]자리가 거의[8] 없었다. 현배 오른쪽에는 젊은[9] 부인과 아기가 앉아 있었고 왼쪽에는 중년 남자가 잡자를 읽고 있었다. 현배 잠을 자려고 했다.[10] 그때 아기가 울기 시작했다.

부인: 학생, 미안해요. 우리 아기가 울어서 시끄럽지요?

현배: 아뇨, 괜찮아요. 애기도 답답하겠어요.

부인: 우리 애기가 착한데 낮잠을 못 자서 이렇게 많이 우네요.[11]

중년 남자: 학색은 여름방학이라 한국에 가요?

현배: 네, 여행도 하고 한국어로 배울 거예요.

중년 남자: 한국은 처음이에요?

현배: 네, 한국에는 처음이에요. 저는 미국에서 태어났어요.

중념 남자: 한국말을 아주 잘하는데 어디에서 배웠어요?

현배: 주말 한국어 학교도 다니고 대학에서 배우기도 했어요. 그런데 아직 잘 못해서 더 배워야 해요.

한국 남자: 한국에 한 일년 있으면 아주 잘 하겠는데요.

비행기가 서울 김포공항에 도착해서 현배는 세관[12]을 통과하고 곧 환전소[13]로 갔다. 미국에서 가지고 온 여행자 수표를 우선[14] 백 불만 현금으로 바꿨다. (환율[15]이1000대[16]이어서 100,000원을 받았다.) 택시나 리무진 버스를 타려면 현금이 필요하기 때문이다.

Perhaps, if Singaporeans are taught Korean with Singlish, most of them will find learning Korean a cinch. Well, that's just my opinion. Below are 20 common Singlish expressions which I have had found their Korean equivalents. Who say you can't learn foreign language with Singlish.

[가사] 신혜성 Shin Hye Sung (feat Eric & 남규리) - 안녕 그리고 안녕 Goodbye and Goodbye

2010-11-28T23:58:00.005+08:00

The promises... the places... and your smile... when we first met...

Fallin' in love is like an ocean
잔잔한 파도 그 보다 큰 emotion as compared with the calm wound, the bigger emotion
가까이와 비로소 not shortly until then
한 번에 찬스 다음은 없어 the first chance, and no further more
one time to shine
next time is shame
but today 준비했어 많은 말들 prepared many words
I'm done 이벤트도 and I'm done with this event
some 연애기술 테크닉 relationship technical techniques
I learned 머릿속은 inside my head
blur too many concern
내게 안녕이라고 말해주는 love to me, goodbye and to tell you the love I gave you
I'm in love

날 사랑에 빠지게 한 그 말 left my love with those words
나에게 건넨 맨 처음 그 말 the very first words I delivered
내겐 봄볕처럼 설레었던 to me, like the sunshine in spring, my heart had throbbed
너의 안녕이란 인사 my goodbye address

*난 지울 수가 없어서 because I can't blame you
널 보낼 수가 없어서 because I can't send you off
눈물 삼키며 가지 말라고 swallow the tears, while saying 'not to go'
온 맘 다해 막아보지만 but had filled up the whole heart

늘 안녕으로 시작해 always by saying goodbye, it starts
또 안녕으로 끝난다 and also by saying goodbye, it ends
미칠 것처럼 내 가슴을 웃게 하고 like the crazy thing, my heart that smiled and
울게 하는 한마디 안녕 cried, the single word of goodbye

그녀와의 만남 운명의 장난 The meeting with her, the joke of fate
I don't wanna fake it no more
한순간의 판단 the split second's judgment
She's a one of a kind
truly hard to find
못 말리는 심장 못 박힌 the non-stop beating heart, not distracted
time to time what up shorty
아무리 노력해도 우리 no matter how we worked hard
question with no answer
못 맞춰 발을 둘이 unfixed foot, the couple
ask about me cutie, I still rappin' you're my beauty
잡을 수 없기에 저기 멀리 저 멀리 At where I was not able to get hold you, it was further than that

날 슬픔에 가두게 한 그 말 Confined my sadness with that one word
나에게 남긴 마지막 그 말 the last words I left
시린 겨울처럼 차디차던 Like the chilly winter, as cold as ice
이젠 안녕이란 인사 now is the goodbye address
*repeat
늘 안녕으로 시작해 always by saying goodbye, it starts
또 안녕으로 끝난다 and also by saying goodbye, it ends
미칠 것처럼 내 가슴을 웃게 하고like the crazy thing, my heart that smiled and
울게 하는 한마디 cried, the single word

자부려... 소부려... 매력도... 시간이... 지나도...

어쩌면 난 너를 넘치도록 사랑 했어 Perhaps I loved you too much
그토록 아쉽지만 미치도록 애절했어 although missing that much, I was so crazily painful
난 너를 멈추지를 못해 I can't give you my heart
붙잡지도 못해 I can't even get my hands on you
나는 처절하다 못해 비참하지만 여태 I was extremely sad, I can't, but in misery till now

너 하나 밖엔 없는데 there is no other than the one only you
더 바라는 것 없는데 there is no more others
사랑한다는 천 마디 말로도 to love is a thousand words also
끝내 막지 못한 한마디 안녕 안녕 안녕 finally, the last one singe word which can't be said, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

어떤 사람을 만나는 거니 물을 때 What sort of love will I meet, I have no idea
좋은 사람을 만나게 된거지 대답 해 Just reply that you will meet a good love

자랑하고픈 다 말을 하고픈 기분에 to be proud, all the words and in the atmosphere
친구들을 모아 몇 시간을 떠들기만 해 gather friends, as long as making noise for hours

내 사랑은 너 그래 바로 너 you are my love, and is only you
*Oh, baby baby lu lu luv
Oh, baby baby lu lu luv
눈을 감아도 느껴지는 너 enduring your tears, drowned in tears
Oh, baby baby lu lu luv
Oh, baby baby lu lu luv

**하루에도 열두번 보고 싶다고 하며 Even in one day, while i miss you for twelve times
내 전화기를 바쁘게 하는 너 Busily using my telephone, you
나를 사랑해 줘서 Because to give you my love

내가 너보다 내가 너보다 사랑해 사랑해 I, more than you; I, more than you; love you; love you
바보 같아도 유치해 보여도 행복해 행복해 even like a fool; even looking childish; be blissful; be blissful

전부 주고픈 다 해주고 싶은 마음에 everything i gave you, the heart that I wish to give you all
적어 놓은 것들 언제 다 해주나 걱정 돼 placed with little things, as and when all what I gave, you can worry

*repeat
**repeat

내 왼쪽에 내 오른쪽에 to my left, to my right
영원히 두고 싶은 건 너야 i wish to put you in those places forever

I need U I need U I want U I want U
언제까지나 In my heart always until then in my heart

*repeat

사랑 할 땐 반드시 꼭 필요한 레시피 during in love, certainly the necessary recipe
유통기한이 안 적힌 내 진실 the unrecorded expiry date, my truth
사랑이란 특별한 요리 the special love cooking

2010-11-28T22:13:00.003+08:00

On a Monday, is rather deserted, plus there was construction of the pathway... a bit irritated by that actually

But the feeling is still nice, this street is really populated with many many cafes and restaurants, too bad we were too full to enter one... very few shops to shop though...

turning out from the street, we saw the sun setting with the small guard tower in the right... i guess in the olden days, the guard tower is towering all the buildings ^^

well.. playing with where the sun should be

life is so fragile

2010-11-28T17:40:00.004+08:00

Regardless of age and health,
any day, somehow, without a valid reason, a life can be taken away...

I used to think that we should take care of our health for long expectancy, now I doubt it totally. Even though one does not have any medical history, one can just pass away in one's sleep due to what the doctor said - cardic arrest. But... but.. this reason isn't strong enough. how can frenz and family members accept this?

Life is so fragile, so unfair... ...

Solution? make yourself happy everyday and at least when the day comes for us to go, we have the least number of regrets...

Smarter now

2010-11-21T18:31:00.002+08:00

Not saying I used to be dumb. My grades weren't that bad ok... just that I have learnt much lessons after these problems were solved one by one. Can't say it is really solved. But for some, I just avoided and cast them away from my thoughts. The rest? Yes I have came out with solutions and moved on. Because all of us of humans. Too much uncertainties, too many possibilities. I just have to narrow it down and decide which is the best for me. Yes! the best for me. Putting myself before others, I have learnt to be more selfish. slightly^^ And yes! I felt much better now, thanks to the wise advice.

Every morning a brand new day awaits us, why start it in a gloomy way?

2010-11-21T00:15:00.007+08:00

한 여자가 그대를 사랑합니다 one lady loves you
그 여자는 열심히 사랑합니다 she loves you with all her might
매일 그림자처럼 그대를 따라다니며 everyday like a shadow, she follows you
그 여자는 웃으며 울고있어요 while she smiles, she is crying

*얼마나 얼마나 더 너를 how much, how much more to you
이렇게 바라만 보며 혼자 while overlooking, alone
이 바람같은 사랑 이 거지같은 사랑 this love - like the wind, this worthless love
계속해야 니가 나를 사랑 하겠니 must you continue to love me like that?

**조금만 가까이 와 조금만 just come a little closer, just a little
한발 다가가면 두 발 도망가는 when one leg go closer, two legs moves away
널 사랑하는 난 지금도 옆에 있어 I, who loves you, am still now beside you
그 여자 웁니다 she cries

그 여자는 성격이 소심합니다 her personality is timid
그래서 웃는 법을 배웠답니다 so she learnt to smile in this way
친한 친구에게도 못하는 얘기가 많은 also to my close friends, many words of being incapable
그 여자의 마음은 눈물투성이 her heart is full of tears

그래서 그 여자는 그댈 so she, you
널 사랑 했데요 똑같아서 because she treated your love the same
또 하나같은 바보 또 하나같은 바보 again like a fool, again like a fool
한번 나를 안아주고 가면 안되요 if you give me one hug, it will be not possible

난 사랑받고 싶어 그대여 I want to receive more love from you
매일 속으로만 가슴 속으로만 everyday only through the insides, only through the heart
소리를 지르며 while yelling out
그 여자는 오늘도 그 옆에 있데요 today she is beside you

그 여자가 나라는 걸 아나요 she is not a girl, this country
알면서도 이러는 건 아니죠 although you know, this doesn't matter right?
모를꺼야 그댄 바보니까 I don't know, to you, because i'm a fool

* repeat
** repeat

P.S. Sometimes in life, I do experience this. Are you as well? Such frustration only yields to more unhappiness...

세상 어느 곳에 그대 숨더라도 Even if you're hiding somewhere in this world
나는 그댈 찾아낼 수가 있어요 I can seek you out
그대가 없다면
그대가 없다면 When you're not here
내 심장은 뛰지 않으니까 Because my heart will stop beating

사랑이랑 굳이 말하지 않아도 Not saying firmly with love
마음으로 나는 알 수가 있죠 Through our hearts, I will know it right
그대만 있다면
그대만 있다면 When you're here
아무것도 난 필요 없는데 There's nothing else I need

**You're my everything to me
You're my everything to me
하늘에 별처럼 환하게 비취주리 Like the star in the sky, shining like the jade
그대는 나만의 사랑 You're my only love
영원한 나만의 사랑 My forever love
우리 사랑해요 We're in love
그대 하나면 나 충부해요 When only you that i'll be good

그무엇과 비교할 수 있을까요 With what can I compare?
그무엇과 비꿀 수가 있나요 With what can I exchange?
그대의 사랑을 Your love
그대의 마음을 Your heart
그누가 대신 할 수 있나요 With who can you be replaced

**repeat
이별하는 일 없을 거에요 I will not leave you
그대에게 상처주는 일 To hurt you
눈물 흘리기 할일 나 없도록 To make you cry, I have never

You're everything to me
You're everything to me
우리 별차마요 Let's not change
세월이 흐른 대도 Even time passes by
그대는 나만의 사랑 You are my love
영원한 나만의 사랑 My forever love
우리 사랑해요 We are in love
슬픔 없는 세상에서 우리 In a world without sadness, we are

Is rare for me to stay home the whole sunday... well blame the rain... haha... but somehow it is really true, rain brings out a person laziness. At least this time I dun feel emotional or something of that sort haha.. because I was listening to more upbeat music...

What did I do then? Try to format my laptop and installing the programs and updating... man~ this is really time consuming!!! While waiting, I was a good student of coz, doing my Korean workbook... Then here comes the stupid playlist that runs to slow songs... My god! I seriously think violin-based instrumental ballads are far more depressing than piano ones... I totally skip those, otherwise my 'emo' self will override me... Nono... that will not happen... But still no more staying at home for the whole day, I feel like a sloth! losing my energy...

Now planning my acitivites for next weekend already... hee...

when nothing goes right... follow the limelight or...

2010-10-05T23:39:00.005+08:00

Seriously why put so much anger and frustration on something that has been done and which I can no longer do anything to do right about?

Human comes to this world alone, and eventually to leave alone as well. This shows that human is in fact a selfish being. But some of us can't help it but place others before us and eventually the ones getting hurt are us, and not those have received the help. Even though we know this well, we still can't change. Why we have to change so much to follow the lead? Why can't we just follow our heart?

Modernization falls upon the Earth and yes, it did changed for the better, longer life expectancy, higher standard of living. However, one's heart becomes more 'evil'. Everything is done with a motive, with a purpose. This is so different to the true, innocent heart that most adults don't have now. True, such people would be bullied. But they live on, living well because they know that they did not do anything that make them feel guilty.

Just be myself I guess, no more putting so much invisible pressure on my shoulders. Is really tiring me out. Need my limelight, wherever it is or he is, I will find it. 찾을 수 있어...

2010-10-03T20:16:00.004+08:00

Quarter life crisis - perfectly true! currently my brain is at its utmost turmoil stage - work, family, relationship, money. Stress building up upon my shoulders, I then suddenly realize what have been causing my sleepless nights was all these factors. Used to my one big cry-baby, I somehow have changed a little. Not to cry over small matters, but once the initiator is triggered, I could not stop crying. Never really take notice that my tear glands, had enormous water supply. But indeed is true, that what people surround me has said to me, only when u cry it out, then u will feel better. Though I can't cry aloud, then I should change 'cry' into 'sob'.

Human beings are emotional creatures for sure. I can somehow understand why some people just want to intentionally harm you. Maybe make me feel their presence... perhaps.

To stay depressed, not my style at all. Because I am really glad that I am constantly engaging with people, so I dun really have the spare time to put myself or 'indulge' myself into a depression stage. Anger, Fear, disappointment bypass me so quickly these days that I think what an old wise man always says, "you experience something to become better" is totally true. Life experiences really make a person emotionally stronger, I can't agree more.

시간이 빨리 지나가면 더 잊혀질는지when time passes quickly, it just sinks even more into oblivion.

*너의 빈자리를 빼면 When you leave your empty seat,
모든 건 제자리에 있는데I have everything in mine,
가슴이 고장났는지 너를 보낸 걸 실감 못해 my heart breaking down, realization of seeing you, I really can’t,
나의 모든 사랑은 헛된 얘기all of my love is a fruitless talk

**나 이렇게 너를 보내I send you off in this manner,
하지만 나에겐 기다림의 시작인걸but to me, this is a start of the wait.
떠나가지마 내 사랑아 please don’t leave, my love~
두 번 다시 널 볼 순 없잖아 two times again I can’t see you,
내 맘 속에 남아 있는 그대 inside my heart, there is someone - is you.

*repeat
** repeat

떠나가지마 내 사랑아 Please don’t leave, my love~
두 번 다시 널 볼 순 없잖아 two times already but I still can’t see you...

어디서든 언제라도 Regardless where and when,
힘들고 지칠땐 내게로 돌아와 제발 when you feel toilsome and exhausted, please return back to me

행복해야해 내 사랑아 My love, you must be happy,
그 날까지 영원할 때까지until that day, until forever,
그대만은 나를 잊고 아낌이 없이 지워 이젠on meeting you, by then I will forget and erase all my feelings to you.

내 안에 따뜻했던 기억 Inside me, the warm memories,
그토록 다정했던 모습 as much as the ever since tender form.
옛 사진속에 남겨진 In the old photos left,
그 아름답던 시간안에서 during those beautiful times,
조금은 행복해 I was a little happy.

하나 둘 지워져갈 추억 One, two worn-off recollections,
이제는 잊혀져갈 약속 now, the buried promise.
그 시간 속에 새겨진In those times, the inscribed,
내 가슴시린 아픔을 느껴my aching heart, I suffer the pain,
눈물을 참을 수 없어 I can’t hold the tears.

*언제나 함께 하자던 Since we are always together
약속마저 놓친 날 even the days we missed the promises
그토록 원망하고 원망했을 너지만 but as much as hating and hated me,
내 눈물까지 비워낸 Up till my tears empty out,
너를 다시 떠나가진 않을게 you will not walk off again,
아름답던 우리 시간속에 머물게 해줘 The ‘once beautiful us’ will stay on, right?

하나 둘 지워지는 기억 One, two, worn-off memories,
잡으려 손을 뻗어 봐도 in order to grab your hands, I even stretch out to reach.
그 시간 속에 머물던 During those times, for those have remained,
내 눈물겹던 아픔에 베어and my unrestrainable tears, my pain worsens,
끝끝내 잡을 수 없어 until the very end, I can’t grab it.

*repeat

영원히 함께 있을게 We will stay together forever,
힘든 일이 있어도 even it is tough.
그토록 외로웠던 너를 이젠 지킬게 As much as being lonely, I will now and continue to protect you,
널 기다리고 있을 게 I will wait for you,
가슴아픈 시간속에 더욱 더 even during the times of my aching heart, more than ever.
소중했던 우리 기억속에 머물고 싶어 Being this precious, I want to stay in our memories.
아름답던 우리 기억속에 머물고 싶어 Being this beautiful, I want to stay in our memories.

성격 Personality test - 이성적이나 감성적... (날씨)

2010-09-09T23:09:00.001+08:00

이성적이나 감성적 Are you a sentimental or an emotional person?
(예 yes, 아니요 no)

1. 날마다 일기 예보를 확이하는 편이다 Everyday you tend to check the weather forecast.
2. 맑은 날에는 대개 외출을 한다 You will go out on a clear day.
3. 비오는 날에는 음악을 들으며 차 마시는 것을 좋아한다. On rainy days, you like to drink tea, while listening to music.
4. 날씨가 나쁘면 야속을 취소하기도 한다 During bad weather, you will cancel appointments/dates.
5. 날씨 때문에 술을 마신 적이 있다 You have the experience of drinking alcohols due to the weather
6. 흐린 날에는 왠지 우울해진다 On cloudy days, you feel down.
7. 눈이/비가 내릴 때는 우산을 쓰지 않는다 When it snows/rains, you choose not to use the umbrella.

9. 계절이 바뀔 때마다 감기에 걸리는 편이다 You tend to catch a cold when the season changes.
10. 눈이/비가 오면 운전하기 싫어진다 You don't like to drive when it rains/snows.

<당신은 "예" 라는 다답을 몇 번 했습니다>

- 0~2: 당싱은 날씨에 별로 영형을 받지 성걱입니다. 그렇기 때문에 모든 일을 계획대로 밀고 나갑니다. 하지만 너무 이성적이어서 딱딱하다는 느낌을 줄기도 합니다. Your personality is that you are unaffected by the weather. Because of that, you push forward and go ahead with all your plans/work. But being too logical, you give others a stiff/cold feeling. (stern face - can imagine...)
- 3~5: 당싱은 가장 일반적인 성격을 가지고 있습나다. 가끔씩 날씨에 따라 기분이 변하기는 하지만 그것 때문에 일을 망치지는 않습니다. 당신은 모든 사람과 친해질 수 있는 스타일입니다. You have the most common type of personality. Sometimes according to the weather, your mood changes but your activities are unaffected. Your style is to be able to be friendly to all people. (나 이떤 사람인데, 가슴이 넓어요! -- as if! :p)
- 6~8: 당싱은 감성적인 사람입나다. 그래서 가끔 날씨나 기분이 때문에 일을 망치는 경우가 있습니다. You are an emotional person. So sometimes due to the weather or your mood, you 'destroy occasions/situations'. (Not too overboard... swing with the weather a little...)
- 9~10: 당싱은 꿈속에 살고 있습나다. 자신의 발전을 위해 좀 더 계획적으로 살 필요가 있습니다. You live in a dream. To extend your confidence, you need to plan your life. (어머! a bit too much la~)

2010-08-09T22:19:00.003+08:00

희망은 잠들지 않는 꿈(desire to have a sleepless dream)- 슈퍼주니어 규현(Super Junior KyunHyung)
제빵왕 김탁구 OST Part.5 Baker King Kim Tak Gu

나 외로워도 되 널 생각할 땐
Is ok that I am lonely when I miss you
미소가 나의 얼굴에 번져
My smile will spread across my face
나 힘들어도 되 니가 행복할 땐
Is ok that I feel is tough when you are happy
사랑이 내 맘 가득히 채워
My heart will be filled with your love

오늘도 난 거친 세상속에 살지만
Although today again I live to endure this world
힘들어도 눈감으면 니 모습뿐
Even it is tough, upon closing my eyes, I can see your face
아직도 귓가에 들려오는 꿈들이
And still hear the dream in my ear
나의 곁에서 널 향에 가고 있잖아
Isn’t my presence went with your scent

*내 삶이 하루하루 꿈을 꾸는 것처럼
As though my life is dreaming day by day,
너와 함께 마주보며 사랑할 수 있다면 다시 일어설 거야
Together with you is enough like, if I can love you, I will brace myself again
나에게 소중했던 기억속의 행복들
To me the precious memories’ happiness
힘든 시간 속에서도 더욱 따스했던 희망은 내겐 잠들지 않는 꿈
Even amidst difficult times, warmer hopes will become my sleepless dream

늘 나의 곁에서 그림자처럼
Constantly like my shadow in my presence
조용히 너는 내게로 와서
Quietly you are beside me
나 아파하는지 매일 외로운지
I don’t feel unwell, everyday I am not lonely
그리움으로 너는 내게 다녀가
To yearn for you has fall bit by bit onto me

세상이 날 울게 해도 나는 괜찮아
Even the world makes me cry, I am alright
항상 니가 나의 곁에 있으니까
Because you are always with me
먼지처럼 추억이 변해서 떠날까
Because remembrance has as though tuned into dust and scattered
그저 웃으며 마음을 달래어 봐도
You smile is enough to comfort my heart

*repeat chorus

수없이 넘어져 비틀대도 나는 이렇게 서 있잖아
Even numerously stumbled upon failure, didn’t I brace myself like before
내 맘 하나뿐인데
Because you are the only one in my heart
힘들 때면 니가 이렇게 힘이 돼 줄래
When I feel is tough, you have as though given me strength
너를 향해 영원히
I will always love you

이렇게 상처 속에 슬픔들을 삼킨 채 미소 짓는 내 모습을 너에게 보여 줄게
I will suppress the sadness inside those wounds with a smile, I will show this image to you
이제는 아프지 않아
I am no longer in pain
언제나 너와 함께 이루고픈 꿈 안고 갈 수 없던 저편에서 너를 불러볼께
To be always with you to achieve the dreams beyond the places I previously could not go, I call for you
마음 다해 사랑하는 너를
Let me love you whole heartedly

미안해

2010-07-21T23:25:00.003+08:00

对不起，不是因为愧疚或内疚。
其实也不是我做错了什么，只是我无法遵守诺言，我对你做出的诺言。
梦中遇见你，代表什么意思？

你好吗？

Bird (TV Size Version)
Vocals: Matsushita Yuya
Lyrics: Maeda Takahiro
Composition: Nakamura Jin
Arrangement: Nakamura Jin

You, who are sleeping, look sad
And seem like you’re even having a bad dream
How do I live without you?
Within the sky known as you
Trap only me in there
I lament without searching
For the blue sky I saw one day, but-
All people are in the sky
Inside the cage known as freedom
In the starless night sky
I wander with eyes that can’t even see where I’m going

Nemuru anata wa kanashisou de
Warui yume de mo miteru you da
How do I live without you?
Anata to iu sora no naka
Boku dake o tojimete
Itsuka mita aozora o
Sagasezu ni nageku kedo
Hito wa mina sora no naka
Jiyuu to iu kago no naka
Hoshi mo nai yoru no sora
Yukuate mo mienai me de samayou

歌：松下優也
作詞：前田たかひろ
作曲：Jin Nakamura
編曲：Jin Nakamura

眠るあなたは悲しそうで
悪い夢でも見てるようだ
How do I live without you?
あなたという空の中
僕だけを閉じ込めて
いつか見た青空を
探せずに嘆くげと
人はみな空の中
自由という籠の中
星もない夜の空
行く当ても見えない目で彷徨う

Autumn trip!

2010-07-01T23:21:00.005+08:00

Yesh! Looking at my 13 days of leave, I must plan something for this second half of this year! Otherwise I do not have any motivation at work. Damn. So firstly is to find travel partner. zzzzz... majority want to go for winter. eh....... I dun really like winter becoz it is wet, it is cold, i have to wear like an onion - layer over layer, and naturally i have to pack more!! Most importantly my new camera to come, cannot 'tahan' too cold temperature. Despite i like white, i love white, but i like maple leave more :p the different shades of orange/red is so DAMN pretty!!!

At last! My dear huifang agreed!! This time is for a scenic experience, NO SHOPPING!!! okok... less less less shopping hehe... So we only have 2 countries to choose - Japan/Korea. Japan - obviously we go to kyushu region which is the south Japan part- these are the parts we did not go last year - me dun like tokyo! so i dun wan... Korea leh - first trip for huifang anyway, for me, the previous trip was more on shopping and jeju - so this time if we go, we will go more scenic in Seoul and to other cities^^

Looking at the airfares are DEPRESSING!!! only to Seoul got discount via Asiana/Korean Air - so we will KIV that, so hopefully like last year, we will have good bargains for Japan... In any case if going to Korea or Japan failed - we go HONGKONG!!! (so funny, both of us come to this resort together!!! woah!! we telepathy sia~ haha) So at least we will get out of Singapore in end Oct! Looking forward!!!

Xmas cake

2010-06-23T21:12:00.002+08:00

A lady is like a Xmas cake...
When she is 21, people start to place orders
Then she is 22, orders start to increase
On reaching 23, numbers of orders peak
By 24, people start to collect
On 25, only those latecomers are buying the leftovers
Till 26, Xmas is over, as though Xmas cakes are expired.

Damn... i'm expiring soon, left with 6 months to go...

hmmm... should i mark expiry date? (how about a bdae party? hmmm... later la~)

Mixed up

2010-06-23T21:03:00.002+08:00

Right... I should say I am... Seriously I dun hate this job, but I dun really like this job becoz of the money... No 13th month, no bonus, and the only credit now is that I got to travel at least 3x a year to meet my contacts which is for work... Perhaps I should start to consider wat job i really wan... People were telling me that every job sucks anyway, haha! wat a comment to say... but personally, interest goes for me first, although I might feel imbalance at times due to the money... Anyway need to think...

Regarding travel... seriously I think I have travelled too much... every other place looks quite similar to me and by the time i reach the place on the 3rd day, i will start to think i'm going back soon... AH! perhaps i stayed in germany for a period of time on several occasions, so wat i see is to stay a place longer... not like 5-7 days, BUT longer like 2weeks to a month! that will be nice.... :p I guess this year I have been to cities that's y! I need to go to sightseeing of physical landscape! that will be better... less crowd... fresher air... more relaxing... and get to take pretty pretty 'no people' photos and at the same time to practice my photography skill when i get hold of a DSLR! hmmm... where to go this second half of the year? hmmm....

Pierced the third pair on IMPULSE!

2010-06-20T22:03:00.002+08:00

Well... while waiting for liling to come yesterday, I was hovering around the accessorize stores. Then saw a gal having her FIRST pair of ear piece down... Instantaneously my hand went to rub my ear lobe - thinking... "I have been waiting to have the third pair done, why not now?" And guess wat! I really went into the store and within 2 minutes, I have the third pair of ear piece pierced.

Before my ear was pierced, the sales person went to mark the position and said that my second pair was not balanced... best.. wat a comment to say... watever... but this is the first time i pierced my ear and i feel the pain the WHOLE DAY!!!! the left side only.... irritating... but it was fine today... anyway i am pleased and satisfied already - 3 pairs!!!! now is to get pretty ear studs ^^

因为我也是值得的？

2010-06-11T23:21:00.002+08:00

每一次的失败，是一份经验。
哭过，气过，心疼过，都是必走的过程。
知道了，反而变得潇洒，祝他人幸福。
从新收拾心情，忘掉那份情，加纳那份友谊。
我能那么做吧，我又不是圣人，干嘛要装大方？
我就是这样，改不了。。。

我知道不能这样，不然会失去机会，失去缘分。
任命了我，就输在“怕”这个字。

빗물이 내려서(Because it rained) -김태우(金泰宇)
개인의 취향 《个人趣向》 OST

*안녕이란 너의 말에 나 웃으며 아무렇지 않은 듯 행복하라며
While you said goodbye, I just smiled. As though I did nothing, I could obtained happiness
妳說了再见而我笑着像是什么也不用做就会得到幸福

가는 너의 뒷모습 바라보면서 나 땜에 울지 않길 기도했어
Gazing at the sight of your back, I prayed that you will cry again because of me.
注视着离去的妳的背影我只祈祷着希望妳不要再为了我而哭泣

흐르는 눈물보며 떠날수가 없는데 널 보낼수가 없는데
Looking at you tearing, I couldn't leave. I couldn't let you go.
看着妳落下的泪水我无法离去我无法将妳放弃

**빗물이 내려서 정말 괜찮았어 눈물이 보이질 않아 괜찮았어
Because it rained, so is alright. Because I can't see your tears, so is alright.
下着雨所以没关系因为我看不見妳的泪水所以没关系

괜찮아서 떠나는 너를 잡지 못했어
Because it is alright, I couldn't grab your leaving hand.
就因为没关系我无法抓住离去的妳的手

내 마음속 아픈 기억 모두다 지워줄 빗물이 내려서
The falling rain would wash off your painful memories in your heart
能够将妳心里一切心痛的记忆全部洗去的雨滴滴答答的落着

*시간 흘러 잊은 줄 만 알았던 너 아무렇지 않은 듯 그렇게 살아
I thought as time passed by, I could forgot. You did nothing and lived on.
我以为随着时间过去就能够遗忘了能够什么也不用做就这样活着

홀로 걷는 뒷모습만 봐도 바로 너 오늘도 그때처럼 비가 내려
Just looking at the sight of your back, today as though was like that day, it rains.
只是注视着孤单走着的妳的背影今天似乎也像那天一样下着雨

눈물이 나려고해 그녀를 잡으려해 웃게 해줄수 없는데
Tears seemed to be warning me that I could not happily let go of your hand
眼泪似乎只是在告诫着我我没办法笑着放开妳的手

**repeat

*가지말라고 떠나지 말라고 맘으로 말할게
I really want to tell you to not leave, not to go.
我真的想告诉妳不要离开不要走

니 맘이 울어서 빗물이 내렸어 내 맘이 울어서 눈물이 내렸어
When your heart cries, it rained. When my heart cries, tears fell.
妳的心哭着所以下着雨我的心哭着所以眼泪落下了

사랑해서 떠나는 너를 잡지 못했어
Because I love you, because I couldn't grab your leaving hand.
因为爱妳因为我没办法紧握着离去的妳的手

맑게 게인 너의 삶의 슬픔을 안겨줄 빗물이 될까봐
Such a pure person, I will just want be the sad rain in your life.
这么明亮的妳我只是成为了妳人生中悲伤的雨

SZ - culture shock

2010-05-31T19:47:00.007+08:00

In Shenzhen was mainly for work, but managed to have some time on the last day of the conference to go around Shenzhen. BUT!!! I really had a shock... firstly the cab right, whatever the cab fare reported would not be the final one, whereby the driver would just round off the number. Actually the difference was barely 2-5 rmb. That's fine actually, a small tip. But the driver purposely made a detour and took a longer route which is 4x the longer period of time... zzz...

To the Dongmen walkway, before I alighted, a passenger just sat into the cab. Please take note here, I had not alighted!!! *faint* nevermind... then I just moved out to the main street. Second shock! - I saw a little girl clinging onto a lady's leg, wanting her to buy the flowers. Literally 'clinging' onto her like Koala hug! Beside I did see an old lady begging for money, I guess they were related. Shocked! Further down the street, the annoying thing was that there were people distributing leaflets, how they distribute was shoving up right to your face! argh! I was blocked how many times. Also! can't people walked properly, they had to bang onto me... zzz...

Sicked of the people there, I headed to the main street to grab a cab. Bottom line here is "please be aggressive!" yes, there was no queue, people just grabbed any taxi they could and they just kept moving to further lanes so as to get the cab's attention. I was about to open the door of the cab, then a young lady just opened the door, looked at me, and just sat into the cab... zzz... I just stoned and mumbled - "that's my cab...." Seeing me so helpless, got some uncles riding rather tattered bicycles asking me whether I need a ride. Faint! who will man! my god... then wat happened? I waited until the rest of the people got their cab then I managed to board mine...

Dun like Shenzhen.... rude people... unkept place... dun like....

many with Liuxin of coz hehe...

Going on a trip alone

2010-05-14T22:25:00.002+08:00

Yup, I'll be off really soon again which is in 1 week plus time i'll be off to HK/Shenzhen. For conference in Shenzhen to be exact. So boring to go alone, although I will meet my contacts there but obviously is purely business... sad! to move around after the conference in HK alone at night, eh..... I'm not really keen though... espacially I can't speak Cantonese nor can I understand! PLUS! to sleep in the hotel room alone... :( I think I will have a sleepless first night, otherwise I would have to tire myself first, so that I will be so tired out that I just go unconscious. Hopefully it will be nice to stay in Ritz Carlton. Ok ok... company pay la, that's why I can stay there...

I printed what Meiyi gave me for Hongkong, really detailed!!! thanks gal! I guess I will take the train there everynight after the conference to roam a bit in Hongkong but not to too late. Safety first! I have left myself a day in Hongkong before I leave for Singapore again. And guess where I will be going? H&M!!!!!! But of coz not for the whole day. My closet is bursting and is no kidding! so I have to control hehe... How I wish I will be there with someone... me like company la~

Show it, Say it, Do it!

2010-05-13T22:42:00.007+08:00

My small little secret has been unfolded by my close colleagues/frenz... Indeed they are really like big sisters~! pushing me forward, wanting to me to make the first move! why should I lah! :p What if it is really not the way it was perceived so? which they deemed that I was thinking way too much. haha... It is really been a while that I am able to talk openly with my frenz about this. So somehow I feel a little blissful 小小的幸福 ^^ Show it, say it, do it? well.....................................

[Taipei] 4 May 10

2010-05-05T00:10:00.000+08:00

Work day starts!

[HsinZhu+TaiNan] 3 May 10

2010-05-04T23:50:00.002+08:00

Well this day supposed to be contact meeting for the both of us, but my contacts were all in Taipei, so I just accompanied Liuxin to HsinZhu新竹 and TaiNan台南. We took the Speed train 高铁, which was exactly like shinkansen!!! We bought the tix to Hsinzhu the day b4, but to tainan and back to taipei was on that day, well i should say the crowd was like 80%, so not too bad...

Well can't say I been to HsinZhu becoz we only had 2 hrs there whereby Liuxin went to meet her contact. The train stop was really very far away from the centre of the city which there was city shuttle bus, BUT! I missed the timing and had to wait for the next one which was 40 min later. That was meaningless for me since I had only 2 hrs b4 I meet Liuxin again to take the speed train to Tainan. So guess what I did, stay at the train station and started reading my newly-bought chinese book. I thought was some girly book, but it turned out to be a guy's books - about 3 guys how they met in secondary school and all they way into their 30s. Just at the train station I read 30% haha... and that point of time I was thinking I can finish the book within that day since at Tainan I would be waiting for Liuxin for another 3-4 hrs before we start to roam around.

I wanted to roam around in TaiNan first but weather was TOO TOO sunny... my newly-bought white sunglasses with red shades was useless so I sat in a cafe and finished the book. Well that was relaxing in some way. The book was really NICE!!! I somehow understood how a guy thinks better :p By the time Liuxin finished her meetings it was close to 5pm where we headed straight to the main old street to see some temples and eat some local food. Well, TaiNan was famous as the 'Kyoto' of Taiwan. The temples were nice, both we visited had a central yard, very different from what we had in SG. One of the temple even got "Yue Xia Lao Ren 月下老人" - and yes, I did go there and asked a few questions and got positive answers :p To the streets for food, we drank the famous wintermelon tea was not bad... wanted to eat the street food, but we somehow went to a not so good stall and the "guan cai ban, o a jian, shan yu yi mian" were so-so only... Pretty disappointing but Tainan was something different to Taipei, more rural I should say hee

And guess wat! I ended the day but FALLING DOWN!!! where? The subway捷运 stopped, I went out of the door, my right foot just slipped vertically into the gap between the subway and the platform, and I just fell forward landed on my right knee.... First reaction, I stood up immediately, saw blood started to tickle out from my wound at the right knee through the stocking, and the blue-black beside it emerging. Great...... wat a gift to receive in Taiwan. Luckily I wore shorts... but my new-pair of stockings... torn... best...

Till the next day, my bruises still ach... I guess it will ach throughout the trip, damn the scar will be damn big... *sobz*

[Taipei] 2 May 10

2010-05-04T23:40:00.003+08:00

early morning we went to ChengPing bookstore and shopped for the whole morning! but i was very sad becoz the comics section was little! pathetic! argh... but I can say books here are really cheaper than in Singapore like 20-30%. Got myself two chinese novels, HK travel guide, korean vocab book, jap magazine too!

Afternoon was crazy~! we went to Ximending to get lunch, and guess what we ate steam/bbq buffet, not the one huifang and xueping recommended becoz that day I didn't bring the namecard along that's why I din know how to go. Meet was great but the steamboat was so-so, what was good was the ice-cream!!! Haegan daz!!! i kept eating the strawberry flavour :P left the place at close to 4pm and went back hotel to put our books, damn heavy....

where we go next? back to ximending to shop! actually went to eat the starfruit ice drink which is famous, as written in the travel guide book... BUT!!! was sour plum flavour! which i hated so I din eat... wasteful right... haiz... then we started our shopping spree!!!! 4 pairs of shoes + 2 pairs of sunglasses + many stockings... back to our hotel area we went to their super cheap store to get all the cheap stationary stuff, damn cute and cheap - the place is like daiso lah. Got for my mum and dad sleeping shoes too haha... back to hotel, guess what time 10 plus le and we were busted! need to get much rest otherwise the next day we need to take the GaoTie (high speed train) to HsinZhu and TaiNan, for Liuxin's contact meetings....

[Taipei] 1 May 10

2010-05-01T23:07:00.004+08:00

First impression when i touched down in Taipei, buildings seemed to be a bit run-down... many MANY really MANY scooters and motorbikes... also, ppl really like to sit along the riverside... really A LOT! Many night markets here and the food and shopping is not kidding! especially the food!!! how can ppl here be slim? What liuxin find even more fascinating is that Taiwanese guys are tall... the younger crowd i mean... Anyway just the first day i already bought 2 dresses + 3 tops hehehehehe... bought "Tie Dan" = steel egg - the famous 'ah po' brand. Really thanks to liuxin's travel book, which was from her fren... anyway today we covered Dan shiu + shilin market (a bit)... and two blisters emerged beneath my feet. haiz...well hopefully tml will be cooler becoz today is quite similar to singapore weather but not humid...

P.S. photos will be uploaded when i'm back, forgot to bring the cables...

2010-04-24T21:09:00.007+08:00

after the analysis of my colleagues, i was sentenced to "crossing the line"... haha... i was somehow being sarcastically accused of having my 'antenna spoil'... when was it functioning anyway? :p but is something happy, of coz... although this is a mixed feeling for now, with all the complication with that stupid past. argh... need to get off my mind... as wat they said, no point to look at the past, think about the future, becoz every single human being on Earth deserve the happiness, like you and me ^^ thanks ladies! I felt much better already, and in no time the bubbly me will be back hee　

[Seoul] 16 Apr 10

2010-04-22T21:46:00.003+08:00

Taiwan - a taboo for me?

2010-04-22T21:02:00.007+08:00

actually, i have kind of forgotten abt it already but my fren brought up the matter again. perhaps taipei is big enough that i wouldn't meet him at all. but what if i really meet him? how should i react? i really dunno... i'm somehow mixed up for now. confused. i know once in a while he still asked for me. but why should he? aren't he married? what is he trying to do? what abt my feelings for him? is already over. but any human would not totally get over it right?

somehow i felt at ease that this trip i am with my colleague, then there would be someone to pull me back into reality, when i start to fall back to my old footsteps. i will not know this time what will i do. but i can't! i must move forward, he is not worth it... damn... stingy feeling in my nose...

anyway look forward, look forward, think positive la!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sobz...

2010-04-21T00:06:00.001+08:00

my new dress from Korea torn, which i really like it so much :( only after a wear....
seems like good things doesn't stick with me for long...

[가사] 못났죠 - 조성욱

2010-04-20T23:22:00.006+08:00

못났죠 (Just be bad) - 조성욱
From: 오! 마이 레이디 (SBS 월화드라마)
Kdrama 《Oh!My Lady》 OST

참 못난 사람이 나죠 아픈 그댈 못봤죠 I'm such a bad person, not able to see the painful you
뒤늦게 그댈 알죠 왜 난 to know you too late, why am I so

하루하루 그댈 안고 알고 살았지만 Day by day I embrace you more and know you more, but
맘이 많이 지쳤나요 my heart is getting tired
한발 다가가면 더 닫혀가는 우리 if we come close any further, we would be more hurt

나 소리없이 울죠 I cried with no voice
나 눈치없이 웃죠 I laugh with no sense
그대 뒤에서 "가지마 가지마" 그 말을 삼켜내죠 I could only endure saying 'please don't go, please don't go' behind her back

참 그댄 아름답죠 참 그댈 사랑했죠 You were so beautiful, and I used to love you so dearly
나 자신없이 "돌아와 돌아와" 맘으로 외치죠 I have no confidence, only to say in my heart 'please come back, please come back'

참 우린 닮지 못했죠 서로 상처만 줬죠 We could no longer look the same, because this would bring us more wounds
뒤늦게 후회 하죠 왜 난 no later i regret, why am I so

하루하루 그댈 닮고 닮고 살았지만 day by day I live to resemble like you
미워지워 버렸나요 but I am starting to dislike you
한 발 다가가면 더 멀어지는 우리 if we come close any further, we would move further away from each other

나 소리없이 울죠 I cried with no voice
나 눈치없이 웃죠 I laugh with no sense
그대 뒤에서 "가지마 가지마" 그 말을 삼켜내죠 I could only endure saying 'don't go, please don't go' behind her back

*나와 함께 했던 시간 The times with you together
그 날들이 사랑이 맞다면 If our love is the right one
제발 가지마 가지마 가지마 가지마 돌아와 돌아와 Please don't go (x4), come back (x2)

참 그댄 아름답죠 참 그댈 사랑했죠 You were so beautiful, and I used to love you so dearly
잊혀진단 건 거짓말 거짓말 거짓말이 네요 To forget about me is a lie, a lie, just a lie

제발 가지마 가지마 돌아와 돌아와 Please don't go (x2), come back (x2)

P.S. simple lyrics, but isn't it so true. when you like someone, just voice it out, otherwise... you will just regret it... (自我写真...)
