A song I heard last night totally blew me off. Each and every time I listen to some beautiful songs, somehow I tend to relate to my life experiences. This song that I will be putting up later is quite an old song but it only touches me when it was covered by this twin. I had a good look at all their videos and magically only this particular song I felt a connection to the melody & the lyrics. I got it stuck as my favorite number on my iPod now.
I am officially missing somebody, not mentioning names, someone who once had an important place in my heart, someone who is currently 2,511.41 KM away from me. Enjoy the song and the lyric, let's sing along together :)
[Verse One] All I hear is raindrops Falling on the rooftop Oh baby tell me why’d you have to go Cause this pain I feel It wont go away And today I’m officially missing you I thought that from this heartache I could escape But I fronted long enough to know There ain’t no way And today I’m officially missing you
[Chorus] Oh can’t nobody do it like you Said every little thing you do Hey baby say it stays on my mind And I, I’m officially
[Verse Two] All I do is lay around Two ears full of tears From looking at your face on the wall Just a week ago you were my baby Now I don’t even know you at all I don’t know you at all Well I wish that you would call me right now So that I could get through to you somehow But I guess it’s safe to say baby safe to say That I’m officially missing you
[Chorus]
[Bridge] Well I thought I could just get over you baby But I see that’s something I just can’t do From the way you would hold me To the sweet things you told me I just can’t find a way To let go of you
[Chorus]
Yeah yes All I hear is raindrops And I’m officially missing you
I am supposed to update on my mid-autumn celebration in nothern Thailand. However, I am browsing & surfing aimlessly. There seems like a blockage on my mind, the laziness to touch up the photos got over me.
I will be leaving in about 2 days time, all of a sudden I am missing that someone dearly and reading one of the latest post of my dear friend on how a song had touched her, somehow I also touched by this particular song as well at the same time. It sounded beautiful and it is indeed a great song, I miss you!
Here I Am - Air Supply
Here I am playing with those memories again Just when I thought time has set me free Those thoughts of you keep taunting you
Holding you A feeling I never outgrew Though each & every part of me has tried Only you can fill that space inside So there's no sense pretending My heart is not mending
Just when I thought I was over you Just when I thought I could stand on my own Oh baby, those memories come crashing through And I just can't go on without you
On my own I try to make the best of it alone I'd done everything I can to ease the pain But only you can stop the rain I just can't live without you I miss everything about you
Just when I thought I was over you Just when I thought I could stand on my own Oh baby, those memories come crashing through And I just can't go on without Go on without It's just no good without you...
Since there is someone who is asking me the meaning of the song, so here you go and being someone who does not know how to read Chinese characters, correction is very much appreciated, so here is what I think is the meaning of the song. Enjoy!
从来没想过 不能再和你牵手 Never thought that I would not be able to hold your hand
委屈时候 没有你 陪着我心痛 During troubled times, you were not there to company me enduring my heartache
一切都是我太过骄纵 以为你会懂 It was because I was too arrogant, assuming that you would understand
一直忘了说 我有多感动 Kept forgetting to tell you how much I was moved
Chorus: 我知道你还是爱着我 I know you still love me
虽然分开的理由 我们都已接受 Despite the fact that both of us are accepting the reason of our separation
你知道我会有多难过 You knew that I would have been devastated
所以即使到最后 还微笑着要我加油 So that's why you kept on smiling and encouraged me to keep on fighting
我知道你还放不下我 I know you still cannot let me go
才会在离开时 闭着眼没有回头 That's why when you left, you closed your eyes & never look back
我们都知道彼此心中 We both know that deep inside
其实 这份爱没停过 Actually that this love has never stop
(Repeat All)
Bridge: 曾经完整幸福的梦在脑海里头 The happiness we had still very much embedded on my mind
I was in dire need of inspiration. Every time now and then when I log in the blogger site, the moment I want to put my thoughts in writing, I paused and both my hands just went numb. Anyway, while on my way to work today listening to OneFM, this song inspired me to write up this post.
Of late, I had just signed up a Korean language classes and I had been practicing it with my colleagues and friends. 사랑해요, romanized as "sarangheyo" means I love you.
And OneFM had been one of my favorite radio station ever since introduced by a friend. This morning the morning kakis were discussing about the topic, "what if you bump into someone you like with another guy/gal?" Pretty interesting innit? For me (I thought to myself), it will definitely feel akward and weird, definitely. But akwardness apart, I will bless her and wish her all the best. Ok, father's day is around the corner, love is not only all about a guy & a gal, it is a good time now for us to say "sarangheyo" to our beloved daddy ;)
Enjoy the translated lyrics & song below ya. My Monday is not that blue anyway :)
Standing alone on the stage, My shadow is casted by the spotlight, Our common grief is represented by music, It's not that everytime I sing, It will make me forget that you won't be with me tomorrow.
In my heart, we'll never be apart.
The fragrance that you left behind in my hands reminded me, The promises left behind in the digital camera, Every message that is being sent is telling you...
사랑해요 means I love you, It represents that I can't leave you, Every minute, every second & every sound, I can only smile when I think of your antics
Let me be as it is complicated, enjoy the song and most importantly the lyrics :)

It is suppose to be a happy day for me today. The moment I opened my outlook in the office this morning, saw the letter of award for a project, a multi-million project. It's an achievement but why am I feeling blue?
I apologized to my mates whom I met up with just a little while ago at Jaya One for dinner. I can't hide my feelings, I admit I have a very poor EQ, I am blue. I am not neither sad nor upset but just this weird feeling of blue.
My mood fluctuated. A moment I can be as chirpy as a bird but I can be also really down on another. The moment "she" conquered my mind, I felt that way. It happened just like that. I seem to be in auto-cruise in my own world.
It had been 2 years, 2 months & 17 days. I felt lousy, I felt weak, I felt defeated. Many of times, best buddies around me who see me this way, I made them felt lousy and many of times they try to wake me up by putting knife after knife into my mentality but thus far, no one had really manage to mend the wound I am nursing. Guys, sorry I disappointed you but you are not me, you would not understand the feeling, really. I do appreciate your advices but my ears only chose what I want to hear and eliminate those I do not want to.
(Taking a deep sigh) I felt that I am being haunted, I saw someone that actually look like her, again like I said I am in my own world. Who understands this nonsensical feeling that I am enduring now? Who had been through this? Yes, again & again I hear words like, "Dude, it's not the end of the world!" Yeah, I do know that! That's why I have not even ended my own life foolishly after so long. But it is just that feeling that is haunting me. The wrongdoing of mine, the regrets & the pain. I apologize my dear, really I do.
Let me drown in my own world. Good night & enjoy this beautiful song that best describes me now.
Look at this face I know the years are showin’ Look at this life I still don’t know where it’s goin’
I don't know much But I know I love you And that may be All I need to know
Look at these eyes They never seen what mattered Look at these dreams So beaten and so battered, hoo…ooh…
I don't know much But I know I love you And that may be All I need to know
So many questions Still left unanswered So much I’ve never broken through
And when I feel you near me Sometimes I see so clearly The only truth I’ve ever known Is me and you
Look at this man So blessed with inspiration Look at this soul Still searching for salvation
I don't know much But I know I love you And that may be All I need to know
I don't know much But I know I love you That may be All I need to know
I don't know much But I know I love you That may be All there is to know, whoa…oh…oh…oh…ah…
Watched Cape No. 7 last night, first time watching a Taiwanese movie in fact. Storyline on a relationships 60 years ago & present. I got to admit I am touched.
60 years past, he passed away with his memories. It's beautiful. I am also captivated with the meaning of the main song of the movie titled "The South of Border". I googled and thanks to Echowillow, for the translation of the song. As I hummed along, I felt warm. Perhaps it's good to have the hope and to continue the journey.
Enjoy the song...
如果海会说话

让风吹过头发

妳会不会把妳曾带走的爱

Will you return the love you took away
在告别前用微笑全归还
zài gào bié qián yòng wēi xiào quán guī huán
with a smile before you bid goodbye
海很蓝 星光灿烂
hǎi hěn lán xīng guāng càn làn
The sea is very blue; the stars twinkle brightly
我仍空着我的臂弯
wǒ réng kōng zhe wǒ de bì wān
And still my arms remain empty
天很宽 在我独自唱歌的夜晚
tiān hěn kuān zài wǒ dú zì chàng gē de yè wǎn
The skies are wide; in the night when I sing alone
请原谅我的爱诉说的太缓慢
qǐng yuán liàng wǒ de ài sù shuō de huǎn màn
Please forgive me for telling you of my love too slowly

the story of that year
当阳光 再次

When the sunlight, once again
离开那太晴朗的国境之南
lí kāi nà tài qíng lǎng de guó jìng zhī nán
departs from the south of the border where clear skies rein
Another hard battling day for me. From work to personal matters, I do hope I did managed it well though. Hmm... perhaps I would give myself 60% marks today on the way my EQ works. I did felt a bit jumpy at work but it all ended well.
Of late, I had been learning this new Chinese song, to add to my favorite karaoke titles when I go to Redbox or Neway. I am a non-Chinese educated and learning the song by hard way like many others I believe. And I had been googling for this song for quite a while and I am not able to find the romanized lyric. So here I am to share with readers who are in the same shoes as mine. Enjoy!

He perhaps had broken hearts of girls out there. Great vocal, great looks, Idol star, announced to the world that he is gay. And had recently became father to a baby boy, Parker Foster Aiken, a child he had together (invitro) with his executive producer, Jaymes Foster, sister of the famous producer David Foster.
I was at the Hennessy Artistry last night at the Orange Club. Great performances. Shall blog about it once I get hold of the pictures. Hope Shayne Ward will not surprise us like Clay Aiken did.
Now back to Clay Aiken, although he is gay, he has great songs unlike Lindsay Lohan who also recently announced her homosexuality. Now for a beautiful Sunday, enjoy the song from Clay Aiken here.
Clay Aiken - On My Way Here
I took my first step On that black and white kitchen floor I sometimes wonder if that house Is even there, anymore I had my first glimpse of love When I was fiveI watched two people split apart But still the three of us survived
I've seen the best I've seen the worst I wouldn't change what I've been through I've touched the sky I've hit the wall But I did what I had to Ooooohhhh
On my way here Where I am now I've learned to fly I have to want to leave the ground I've fallen hard But I've been loved And in the end it all works out My faith has conquered fear On my way here.
My address has changed Almost every year I've found that standing still Can quickly make a lifetime disappear I'd rather try and fail A thousand times denied And this, whenever you feel pain It lets you know that you're alive
I've been a fool I've been afraidYeah, I've been lovedI've been lied to I've been wrong And I've been right I stood up when I had toYeah
On my way here Where I am now I've learned to fly I have to want to leave the ground I've fallen hard But I've been loved And in the end it all works out My faith has conquered fear On my way here.
No guarantees I believed that I would find An open door or a light To lead me to the other side I guess that is why On my way here Where I am now I've learned to fly I have to want to leave the ground I've fallen hard But I've been loved And in the end it all works out My faith has conquered fear On my way hereYeahhhhOooooohh
I achieved the 500 posts since I started blogging more than 3 years ago. This blog had been a part of my life. When I was younger, I did not believe in journal or diary writing. I discovered blogging from a few buddies with the intention to update what's happening and what's not in my life for my friends' reading pleasure. It was like 2-3 posts a month back then.
I became active after my breakup back in 2006. The need to adapt to my new life then strengthen my bonding with this blog. Writing what's in me, my feelings, it did help me on my road to recovery. And at the same time, kind words from readers and consolation from them kept me going. Thanks.
Remaining single till now, at times when I am lonely and empty, my blog had been the greatest companion. When I am free, I never fail to update this blog. No matter how busy I am, I tried to slot 30 minutes or so a day to write here. Only when physically I am exhausted from my day commitments, then I will call it another day.
Quite a busy Saturday for me today. I will be attending two events/functions today. To those who will be in Mid Valley today, I will be there at 4PM giving out prizes for the My Life, My Way video blogging contest. Then later at night, I will be attending the Hennessy Artistry at Orange Club special invitation for sponsors. So if you guys/gals are pimping these events, do say hello ya.
Till then, happy weekend to all and enjoy this beautifully written song I put up for all.
Two Less Lonely People In The World - Air Supply
I was down, my dreams were wearin thin When you're lost, where do you begin? My heart always seemed to drift from day to day Looking for the love that never came my way.
Then you smiled, and I reached out to you I could tell you were lonely too One look and it all began for you and me The moment that we touched, I knew that there would be...
(Chorus) Two less lonely people in the world And it's gonna be fine Out of all the people in the world I just can't believe you're mine In my life where everything was wrong Somethin finally went right Now there's two less lonely people in the world tonight
Just to think of what I might have missed Looking back, how did I exist? I dreamed, still I never thought I'd come this far But miracles come true. I know cuz here we are.
CHORUS
Tonight I fell in love with you And all the things I never knew Seemed to come to me somehow Baby love is here and now there's...
Two less lonely people in the world And it's gonna be fine Out of all the people in the world I just can't believe you're mine In my live where everything was wrong Somethin finally went right Now there's two less lonely people Two less lonely people Two less lonely people in the world tonight
I have not been writing about politics lately. I am tired about it. Politician being politician, perhaps that is their nature to over-promised and under-delivering, be it the BN or the Opposition. The whole saga is simply a joke. And we have innocents being detained & locked up under the ISA. To politics, fuck it for the time being. Got change, then change lar. I am a bit numb with all this at the moment.
I will out of the country next week holidaying with my family in Thailand. There is not much to do in the office as everyone is in the mood for the Raya break and heavy vehicles will be prohibited from the highway starting today. Those who will be on the road, safe journey to your destination ya.
For a happy rainy Friday, I am in the mood of this song now, perhaps I am saving my love for someone. Enjoy!
Saving All My Love For You - Whitney Houston
A few stolen moments is all that we share You've got your family and they need you there Though I've tried to resist being last on your list But no other man's gonna do So I've saving all my love for you
It's not very easy living all alone My friends try and tell me find a man of my own But each time I try I just break down and cry 'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue So I've saving all my love for you
You used to tell me we'd run away together Love gives you the right to be free You said be patient just wait a little longer But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready just a few minutes more Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door 'Cause tonight is the night for I feeling all right We'll be making love the whole night through So I'm saving all my love for you Yes I'm saving all my love Yes I'm saving all my love for you
No other woman is gonna love you more 'Cause tonight is the night that I feeling all right We'll be making love the whole night through So I'm saving all my love for you Yeah 'm saving all my lovin' Yes I'm saving all my love for you , for you
Oh ya, it's Friday - meaning it's party night. I will be at Plaza TTDI tonight, am not sure which joint I will end up. Wabisabi is cosy & nice, Waikiki got cool liveband and Bamboo is filled with chicks... hmm... buzz me if you are there. Cheers!
Back from my peaceful getaway from bustling city of KL. I had been going back Malacca quite often lately. I am enjoying my time more and more these days being surrounded with my family, perhaps over here in KL I am leading a pretty lonely & quiet days. Please do not get me wrong, I do have many friends in KL but a few whom I really can rely on, but at times I am thinking that I cannot be bugging them all the time as they do have their own family, loved ones to spend time with. Ignore me here, I am just voicing myself randomly.
Oh ya, I did mentioned that something big going to happen few postings ago. My younger brother is getting married soon. It is a first time experience to all in the family. I am a total dummy on this and felt sorry that I cannot help much here. I envy my brother in a way, at the age of 26, he will be having his own family soon and indirectly he overachieved me in this aspect.
Mom & dad are both happy but at the same time too worried about me, worried that I will end up alone like few of my cousins. Mom on & off will think of my ex and the very recent trip, she did mentioned about her. She is somehow someone who had embedded such a deep impression to my family. Brushing the ugly parts aside, I had a great 3 years with her. Good times more than the bad ones. And when early this year I decided to move on and I thought I had found someone, that someone does not turn out to be that one. At the early courtship with this new girl, I was not accepted because I was said to be missing my ex, which I confidently denied. And when it was time that I am ready to commit my all, I was told that her feeling was not as deep as mine. Afraid, refrain, I do not dare to walk on. Girls I got involved with in the past kept on telling me that how good of a quality of a man I am but that does not sound convincing enough for me. I felt vulnerable towards relationships now. I opted to focus my life on dollars & cents, focus on my buddies both business & drinking buddies and ignoring totally my personal life.
No worries, perhaps all this happy stuff happening in my family has in a way or two affected my mood but people around me, knowing that I am a positive man, I will look forward. It is like a period thingy, it comes & go. Congratulations to my younger brother, you are officially an adult and my best wishes to you.
For this moment, I am in the mood into this old skool 1980 hit song by Bonnie Tyler, Total Eclipse of The Heart. Enjoy!
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right Cause we'll never be wrong together We can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you'll only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right Cause we'll never be wrong together We can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight
Once upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart Nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart
Rejuvenated. Slept early last night about 10PM. Woke up 9AM today, had breakfast with mom and send her to her shop. It's a day I would take a time off from politics a bit. Wanna share one nice song with you peeps today.
Not english, not chinese but Thai. I had this liking to Thai songs. Just enjoyed listening to their every lines that most of the times will end up with mai, hai, nai, lai, wai and so on. I added the video together with pinyin for Thai dummy like me (thanks to Albert). Enjoy the song & sing along.
James Reungsak - Jum Tua Eng Dai Mai ( จำตัวเองได้ไหม)
