#SONG# Caramel - Jauh Kau Pergi (Tinggal Kenangan)

Overheard this song playing

in my colleague's PC.

Attracted by the simple melody.

Google the song and found that

the lyrics captured my heart too.

Very simple lyrics.

What's more to say when these are

the only words that rhyme in the heart, right?

Caramel - Jauh Kau Pergi (Tinggal Kenangan) lyrics

Pernah ada rasa cinta

Antara kita kini tinggal kenangan
Ingin ku lupakan semua tentang dirimu

Namun bayangmu slalu ada dalam setiap langkahku

Chorus:-

Jauh kau pergi meninggalkan diriku

Disini aku merindukan dirimu

Kini ku coba mencari penggantimu

Namun tak lagi kan seperti dirimu
Oh kekasih

Repeat chorus

Masih terlintas di mataku
Gambaran wajahmu yang kini tinggal kenangan
Ingin ku lupakan semua tentang dirimu

Namun bayangmu slalu ada dalam setiap langkahku

Repeat chorus x2

------------------------------------------------------


I cry for the time that you were almost mine,
I cry for the memories I've left behind.
I cry for the pain, the lost, the old, the new,
I cry for the times I thought I had you.


You want me to act like we've never kissed,
you want to forget,
pretend we've never met,
and I've tried and I've tried,
but I haven't forget yet.


I'd like to believe that I'll wake up one morning
and not miss you anymore.
I'll finally understand that when you broke my heart
it was for a reason,
one I just don't understand yet,
but when I do,
I'll know that you messed up,
and not me.

RED is the new black!

Jeng Jeng Jeng!!!

Now that my hair color is "settled", I can finally post some photos about it!

It was still raining red and brown at the shower for the past week.

Scary huh....

So... I dyed my hair two weeks ago.

Wasn't keen to dye my hair right before CNY knowing that Nico is gonna

slaughter me with the new pricing.

But looking at my current hair, I really wanted some color on it to spice things up.
Was bored with my black hair.

Wanted to get my previous color - dark brown.

I've always tried to get colors that are not too bright as I have hair of Snow White.
Somewhat, black as ebony?

So in order not to have obvious color contrast between my colored hair and new grown hair,
darker color would be a wiser choice in order to blend in better.

Nico then said the most popular color this year is RED!
And that I should get it.

Showed me a few colors and chose the darker shade of red.
Nico agreed that it suit me coz it's not gonna look obvious when my hair grow longer.

So ON lah!

Waited for them to mix between two colors.

And...

The mixture turn out to look like this!
It almost scare me to death!



Jaw dropped looking at the mixture.

They had to continuously convince me that this is not the actual color,

and the outcome is not as bright as this!

Was skeptical but they were very convincing...

As my hair black pigment is way too BLACK,

they had to leave the mixture on my head for an hour!

The entire time I was thinking

"Die lah die lah.. will it turn out bright red?"

"Will I look like Ah Lian (aka samseng jalanan pompuan), will I even get fired with this hair?!!"

Posted the mixture on FB and some said they are excited to see the outcome.

And hippo predicted that it will turn out like this!

YAY? or NAY?!!!

After washing, blowing dry, snip snipping here and there,

the outcome surprised me!

The color looks great!!!

Well, not as great as the red-head up there,

but I do like my color.

Thanks again Nico!

The above photo was taken on the actual day.

Went for dinner with parents at Tony Romas, Setia City Mall,

at the same time, flaunting my new hair color!

In fact, I've noticed that there are many red-head at the malls recently.

Friends and colleagues dyed their hair red too!

Male or female!

RED indeed is the color!

As for my little basketball head, 

after one or two weeks,

after more washing,

the color changed.

With different photos taken of me,

sometimes it looks like burgundy,

sometimes purple,

sometimes brown,

and sometimes.... just plain black!

 

It made me desiring for something more RED now!

On top of my wish to eat and not get fat,

exercise and not build muscle,

play till down and not have panda eyes,

Can I have one more wish?

I would very much love to be ON FIRE with RED hair,

but don't want to get FIRED being unsuitable for the corporate world.

Can oorrrr noooottt?!!!

You can see how much I'm emphasizing on RED,

despite me being so hesitant on the adventurous new color
when it was first proposed by Nico.

See how fast a woman can change?!!!

I might even like to have a green hair tomorrow!!!

who knows...

NICE RIGHT???!!!!!!!

Talking about being on fire,
here's a nice song from Alicia Keys!
Love her songs, and this is one of it.

Rant from a sleepy Chinese girl!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Kiong Hee Huat Cai!

Gong Hei Fatt Choy!

There you go, all the three major Chinese dialects to wish you a prosperous Chinese New Year!



A little self-pic compilation from Day 1 of CNY



Am back from a busy Chinese New Year week!

Have been occupied with eating, traveling, driving, drinking,

singing, dancing, photos taking, and angpao collecting!

Will post up some photos real soon.

Definitely gonna be a yummy one that makes you go slurpy slurpy!

I have been sleeping very late for the past week - earliest at 2am, latest at 5am.

So imagine how I'm feeling right now.

To be sleeping at almost 2am yesterday.

The noise from firecrackers that disturbed me since 11.45pm.

Can't see, but can hear it - very clearly!

Am soooooo sleepy tooooooday!!!

 And the weirdest thing is that I'm the only Chinese working today.

The rest is still on leave.

Perhaps the "pai ti kong" prayer yesterday ended quite late?

I'm not sure. Coz mum didn't even pray yesterday.

Time to realize that I'm soooo not Chinese.

I need to learn how to be Chinese again.

But can I get my parents to do that first?

Nevertheless, wishing everyone a good year ahead!

May you be showered with abundance of wealth to get the things you want in life,

good luck to bring good people and good fortune your way,

and good health to enjoy all it!

And since it's the year of snake, I hope you people would

lay back, relax and enjoy life a little bit.

In other words, snake snake abit in the office.

And to always be a better person regardless in personality, appearance,

social skill etc, and make people go "u-lar-lar" when they see you!

HUAT AHHH!!! =)

#SONG# Mika - Happy Ending

Everytime you surrender yourself to love,

You give it all to that one special person.

Doing this means you put your whole life on his / her hands.

Expecting to spend the rest of your life with them.

To be loved is great.

But to love someone who loves you back is even greater.

No other feeling in this world that could match this.

But even the best relationship does not last forever.

Nobody gets through life without losing someone they love,

someone they need,

or something they thought was meant to be.

Just remember that because something doesn't last forever,

doesn't mean it wasn't worth your while.

It is not always a HAPPY ENDING.

Mika - Happy ending lyrics

 

Mika - Happy Ending lyrics

This is the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No Happy Ending.

This is the way that we love,

Like it's forever.

Then live the rest of our life,

But not together.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life

Can't get no love without sacrifice

If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well

A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told

No hope, or love, or glory

Happy endings gone for ever more

I feel as if I'm wastin'

And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No Happy Ending.

This is the way that we love,

Like it's forever.

Then live the rest of our life,

But not together.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind

Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around

If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep

I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I've ever told

No hope, or love, or glory

Happy endings gone forever more

I feel as if I'm wastin'

And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No Happy Ending.

This is the way that we love,

Like it's forever.

Then live the rest of our life,

But not together.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love

Little bit of love, little bit of love [repeat]

I feel as if I'm wastin'

And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No Happy Ending.

This is the way that we love,

Like it's forever.

To live the rest of our life,

But not together.

This is the way you left me,

I'm not pretending.

No hope, no love, no glory,

No Happy Ending.

something I write when my brain is not right

That's me now.

 

A cuckoo zombie!

Going nuts from work.

Suddenly have been given extra tasks.

Start doing things that appear to be a whole new thing for me.

Job scope that has widen so much I believe I deserve a good raise.

Sometimes I get so busy I lost coordination.

My hand is doing something by its own,

while my brain is processing something else.

The good thing is..

I realized that I've got potential in many other areas on top of what I'm supposed to be doing

(ahem!)

Being an in-house writer for event coverage,

( needs alot of improvement to produce a more catchy piece of work )

Creating processes and flow in PowerPoint,

( it's fun but time consuming )

To being our department liaison with the software engineer in their newly implemented system,

( yeah it do need some interest in IT somehow )

Coordinating with the ID for office renovation,

( maybe my itsy bitsy teenie weenie ID skill can be put in use??? )

Organizing event from scratch, searching for suppliers, get quotation,

coordinate with designers on invitation cards etc etc etc...

( at least the 3 years spent in studying Adv Mass Comm is not a total waste )

Gonna be voice over for our office recording system,

( I sing like a frog, hope I don't talk and sound like one )

And the number of customers to be taken care of have increased by two more batches for me.

( walauehhh... this is the suckiest part of my job !!! )

And WOW, being invited as an emcee for our corporate CNY event that

comprises hundreds of staffs???

.... with the presence of Tan Sri and Datos?

Am flattered.

But the bad news is...

I can't speak Mandarin !!!

If you need English speaking emcee, I'm ever ready.

(not that I've not done that before, in smaller scale of course)

All these is keeping me very much occupied.

And distracted from whatever that is bugging me.

Still, I do have time to feel emo at times.

Guess sometimes people will be addicted to certain kind of

sadness and pain.

(lyrics from Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know)

There... finish grumbling,

complaining,

mumbling,

about nothing,

except for working....

Although I may complain about how much

responsibilities I've been given in terms of work,

It has never failed to strike me that

doing more means learning more,

And opportunity like this

is meant for me to learn and grow,

The best training is to be at the battleground !!! ;)

Gotta be an improved version of myself every single day.

 

" To Be The Best In All We Do!!! "

Best motivation quote ever!

Cheers to 2013 and a better pay raise!!!

(I PRAY, I HOPE !!!)

Ciaoooo!!!

#SONG# Qu Wanting 曲婉婷 - 我的歌声里 (Wo De Ge Sheng Li : You Exist In My Song)

I'm a walking zombie today.

Did not sleep well yesterday.

Saw things I wish I didn't see.

Blame it on myself.

Think alot.

Cried too much.

You know when you are down,
and there would be a song
that perfectly described how you are feeling?

As if the song is written just for you?

My mind is now playing Qu Wanting "Wo De Ge Sheng Li"

Guess that's my untold story.

Qu Wanting hold a concert in KL the other day.

Anyone went to see?

I wanted to hear her sing,

but then I have only listened to two songs from her.

Drenched and "Wo De Ge Sheng Li" (meaning you exist in my song).

Would be not worth it to go for a concert just for two songs.

 

Wanting 曲婉婷 - 我的歌声里 (You Exist In My Song)

Those bananas like me who love this song but couldn't really sing it,

I hope the "han yu pin yin" would be of help,

And those love don't understand what it means,

The English meaning is just below the lyrics.

May sound funny, that's what I picked up online

coz I couldn't really understand what it means either.

 

Qu Wanting - Wo De Ge Sheng Li with Chinese lyrics, Chinese translation (han yu pin yin) and English translation (English meaning)

没有一点点防备 也没有一丝顾虑

Mei you yi dian dian fang bei, ye mei you yi si gu lue
I had neither a little bit of preparedness nor a trace of apprehensions


你就这样出 现在我的世界里 带给我惊喜 情不自已
Ni jiu zhe yang chu xian zai wo de shi jie li, dai gei wo jing xi, qing bu zi yi
This way you appeared in my world; brought me pleasant surprises and I was not able to control my own feelings


可是你偏又这样 在我不知不觉中
Ke shi ni pian you zhe yang, zai wo bu zhi bu jue zhong
However, contrary to expectations also this way, when I was unconcious


悄悄的消失 从我的世界里 没有音讯 剩下的只是回忆
Qiao qiao de xiao shi, cong wo de shi jie li, mei you yin xun, sheng xia de zhi shi hui yi
Quietly disappeared from my world. There are no letters; what remains is only memory


[Chorus]


你存在 我深深的脑海里
Ni cun zai, wo shen shen de nao hai li
You exist in my deep sea of brain


我的梦里 我的心里 我的歌声里
Wo de meng li, wo de xin li, wo de ge sheng li
In my dreams, in my heart, and in my songs


你存在 我深深的脑海里
Ni cun zai wo shen shen de nao hai li
You exist in my deep sea of brain


我的梦里 我的心里 我的歌声里
Wo de meng li wo de xin li wo de ge sheng li
In my dreams, in my heart, and in my songs


还记得我们曾经 肩并肩一起走过 那段繁华巷口
Hai ji de wo men ceng jing, jian bing jian yi qi zou guo, na duan fan hua xiang kou
I still remember that we once shoulder next to shoulder together walk through that section of the bustling alley


尽管你我是陌生人 是过路人
Jiu guan ni wo shi mo sheng ren, shi guo lu ren
Even though you and I were strangers, passengers,


但彼此还是感觉到了对方的
Dan bi ci hai shi gan jue dao le dui fang de
Yet each other still felt the other person's


一个眼神 一个心跳
Yi ge yan shen, yi ge xin tiao
One eye expression, one heart beat


一种意想不到的快乐 好像是
Yi chong yi xiang bu dao de kuai le, hao xiang shi
One kind of unexpected happiness which is like


一场梦境 命中注定
Yi chang meng jing, ming zhong zhu ding
One dream which is fated in life


Repeat Chorus


世界之大为何我们相遇
Shi jie zhi da wei he wo men xiang yu
The world is this big, why we meet each other?


难道是缘分
Nan dao shi yuan fen
Could it be predestined affinity?


难道是天意
Nan dao shi tian yi
Could it be the intention of heaven?


Repeat Chorus


你存在 我深深的脑海里
Ni cun zai, wo shen shen de nao hai li
You exist in my deep sea of brain


我的梦里 我的心里 我的歌声里
Wo de meng li, wo de xin li, wo de ge sheng li
In my dreams, in my heart, and in my songs

#SONG# Guys Next Door - I've Been Waiting For You

Another nice song that I listened to when I was a teen. (sounded like I'm very old now)

Listening to it again and brought back alot of memories..

The time when I was young and curious,
Can't stop thinking how is it like to "paktoh",
What will my future boyfriend be,
How does love feels like,
Is my first kiss gonna be as romantic as how the movie portrays?

Ever since,
I've experienced almost everything that is possible in a relationship,
Rainbow in paradise,
Heaven on earth,
Emotional and mental torment that leave scars behind,
Through thick and thin,
Many ups and downs,
Even spin and swivel in relationships (are there such a word???)

Till today,
I am still curious,
Of what's waiting infront of me,
Who,
What,
When,
How,
Finally... a happy ending for me?

No matter what, I've decided to leave this matter to God's hand.
Let him do the thinking.
I know he leave me waiting just because he's finding the best one for me.
So I'll just chill and enjoy the ride when the time comes.

Enjoy the song! :)
