2026, in search of Happiness. If it means enjoying every little trinkets and stationery on the daily, then so be it. Coz temporary happiness, is still happiness.
for some audit purposes, our office has been radio silent for a while. maybe longer than a while.
Last few days though, someone turned on the radio again, and we've been listening to Brunei's No. 1 radio station, Kristal FM.
I forgot what day this happened but they happened on two separate days.
Now, the radio sound is pretty close to me, like 3 tables away.
So, that day 1, I heard a familiar melody. In my head I was humming along to it, until the chorus came, quite a number of people in the surrounding section sang a long. including myself. not so loud though. Just to ourselves but still other people can hear.
and upon realizing what was happening, we all laughed.
the song was Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
My heart was happy.
and then, on day 2,
same thing happening again, but this time, the song is more upbeat and people almost sang from the beginning to end. only different was no one laughed at the end. like it was just a normal thing to sing a long in union to a song, during working hour.
IT WAS AN AWESOME DAY! almost
I think it was a stressing day to some that singing a long is the best remedy. :)
the song was Spice Girl - Wanna Be
✌.ʕʘ‿ʘʔ.✌
music really bring us closer together
unless you are some judgemental wannabes, you can go f*** yourself
. . . HAPPY 1000TH POST! FINALLY I MADE IT! *throws confetti*
I'm not sure if I've always known this habit but; I search lyrics for my current fav song and start to menghafal the song like I was going to perform it in front of a live audience, when I'm stressed/pressured/depressed/etc. LOL and it's great way of losing or letting out my anger. thus, here's the new song that I've been practicing; Ailee's 한걸음 더. the English translation is One Step Closer. and this is the 5th Korean song that I took the time to 'hafal' the song by studying the Hangul lyrics. in case you guys curious what's the other 4 songs are, let me list them down real quick; 1. BoA - No.1 2. SMTown - Dear My Family (I AM ost) 3. SMTown - Hope 4. So Hyang - Arirang Alone No. 2 and 3 atu aku hafalkan konon nya kan sing-a-long time liat concert di Singapore few years back. hahaha I know, I'm like Kpop lover and cheese. There should be at least a SHINee song in that list, right? but honestly, I love the songs but still prefer Japanese song over Korean. Coz I can pronounce Japanese (reading the romanization of course, not the real Japanese character) better than I can with Korean. LOL! Anyhoo, Like I did with BoA's Close To Me, I'm going to share with you guys Ailee's 한걸음 더 lyrics here. it's not mine, I took from a website via Google search. Let's menghafal this song together now~~! keep it together my child 울지 마 dry your eyes 더 이상 숨지 마 크게 소리쳐 봐 아픔을 외쳐 봐 뒤돌아 웃어 now 길이 없던 난 멀리 보이는 불빛으로 다가가고 싶은데 다가갈 수 없게 너무나 아픈데 무너져 버린 나를 희망으로 날 잡아준 건 시간이 지나면 괜찮아질 거라고 모두가 얘기해 조명이 켜지면 아무도 모르죠 슬픈 표정은 gone 잠겨 있었던 내 감정은 어디로 다가가고 싶은데 다가갈 수 없게 너무나 아픈데 무너져 버린 나를 희망으로 날 잡아준 건 너 나 포기하지 않을게 no no 또 하루를 보내 서로를 위해 한 걸음 더 가깝게 다가갈 수 있게 받아준 그 사람 어두웠던 내 맘에 사랑으로 날 밝혀준 건 너 and here's a audio video with the lyrics also, just so you know what the song sounds like xD I had tears in my eyes the first time I heard this song. and I don't even know what it means at that time. ahahah . . . a/n: I know I've been depressed with myself lately and I really don't know what to do with this anger. and yesterday, the last straw had been thrown my way and I am done. It's been long overdue and it's time to move on. . . .
Coz I am jobless and hating my job (plus a certain someone) to death (╹◡╹)凸
I am making myself busy by trying to memorize this song by the end of this week.
This song was supposed to be easy because it has so much English that I don't understand why is it not in English saja? щ（ﾟДﾟщ）
But it's not easy. I'm always off key during the chorus (not saying I wasn't during any other part of the song; it's just I am more off-key-err during the chorus). and I really don't know how I else I should do it.
I only just realize that I actually have the minus one (meaning the karaoke version or on the official Track List says 'Close To Me (Inst)' Inst being instrument only) version of this song! Now I can record myself (as I usually do when I'm "memorizing" a song) and pretended that I'm in some kind of a studio, recording my new single (n˘v˘•)¬ Currently I've recorded two and I'm not very happy with the outcome.
Practice makes perfect they said.
But I say, lets just give it a rest for tonight and try again ...say, next month.
ahahahaha
So for now, enjoy.
Here's the romanized lyrics for you to read.
Let's memorize together! xD
Sitting alone kabe ni motare reminiscing
Taiyo falling thru kigi no suki ma kara
Now I'm so sorry Konnanimo afure teru
Amai kaori ni
kizuite you're my something I'll be next to you
Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay
Zutto isshoda yo and don't go away
you're always here with me Ima, ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide
Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni
Now I'm getting you close to me
Mayoikonda koneko no yo It's embarrassing
Kako mo, ima mo, mirai everyday
I'm looking at pictures and know you and then donna ni datte
Aoku tada so clear
Kizuite you're my something I'll be next to you
Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay
Zutto isshoda yo and don't go away
You're always here with me imma ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide
Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni
now I'm getting you close to me
You are the sin, you are the light
You are in my perfect picture, here I am
mo hitostu can I ask
Oh am I getting too close
I just want you to stay zutto isshoda yo and don't go away
you're always here with mr imma ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide
Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni
and now I'm getting you close to me (close to me)
oh I'll be next to you now I'm getting you close to me
Here's also the live version
I have a love/hate thing with this live version. i hate it coz she used too much nostril voice. I love it coz towards the end when she builds up the song, it's her awesome live voice that made me love her so much! but no matter, you gotta respect BoA for getting where she is now. I know she deserves it. I'm not really a 'constant' fan of hers but from where I've been following her up until now, I've seen her hard work and versatility. I just hope she will stop trying so hard to break it into the US (as in becoming English). She is great where she is now, she should focus on that. I'm not saying she shouldn't try at all. I'm saying stop 'trying too hard' and lose focus. that's all I'm saying. Remember her Make Your Move movie? BoA was the female lead and at one point the movie was just trying so hard to make this Aya's character 'awesome' like she can switch languages without trouble; speaking Japanese to her friend and then spoke Korean with her brother in the same conversation. It's just, maybe not the best way to sell a movie? I don't know. Critical Analyzing maybe one of the Sept characteristics but Music/Movie business isn't really my forte so, imma shut dap now. Maybe I should try and stay focus instead~(◠﹏⊙✿) . . .
