i'm not afraid
when the world comes to an end...
no lights... no warmth...
and you're not by my side
no calls... no nice clothes...
i'm still not afraid
too many uncertainties on the tv
in a split second.. they can be separated.. worlds apart
what can be more assuring than looking into your eyes?
you always make me touched...
knowing what i'm thinking all the time...
and you know me the best
knowing everything without me saying a word even when we're miles apart
if i were to choose.. all over again
you'll still be the one
so just let me hear you say "i love you"
if they were to be no light.. no warmth
at least i can still your heart in my hands
so just let me lie in your arms...
how gentle..

When you turn
the side of your face away
I will not be able to
reach you anymore, break it
Disappear, cut the life line
The despair of being useless
Beaten by the rain
Burned by the fire
The dimly lit night
The distant lands
The wings of greed
Feeling of sin, perishes in the skies, as it scatters
When I
open the door of light
Hey, do you think
you can keep running away
When chasing after, you instantly disappear
but the freedom to crave
Red and blue flowers
The colors of truth
Waiting under the rubble
The silk like skies
The times when I was in pain
Infinite flowers sway, as I cry
Trouble, Separation, Sentence to the world
My Dearest, Faith, laugh at loneliness, just fall asleep

kira kira
sugoii!! sugoii!!! sugoooooooooooooooooooii!!!
oh my god.. i have to write this the moment i got back from the
kira kira concert by oda kazamasu at the singapore indoor stadium.. it was just great!!! i wasn't expecting so much and boy... this was a wonderful concert.. i'm so glad i went...
i was pretty intimidated at first.. cuz i was like surrounded by so many japanese.. haha.. but then i soon got over it and immersed myself into the music entirely !!
oda-san's english was pretty good... but it was quite a pity that i could understand only like.. 5% of the japanese he spoke.. cuz it seemed like it was quite funny..with all the japanese around me laughing.. haha.. that didn't stop me from having fun anyway!!!
oda-san's voice is really solid.. disregarding the fact that he's already 56 years old!! he could still sing with so much strength and his voice was crisp and clear.. my god.. that's what i wanna be when i am 56! he can play the piano.... the guitar... and even the saxophone! man.. and his ballads are really cool..
once he sang the theme song to
tokyo love story...my god.. i just went crazy.. i became soooo high!!! i clapped.. and sang along to it! brought back all the nice memories... cuz that was the first japanese drama i was crazy for! haha.. and all the japanese fans sitting in front just went crazy~ so did my teachers who appeared there... kawaii!
he started the concert with the theme song
kira kira... and it brought up the whole mood and atmosphere! the concert ended with the same song too.. it gives the feeling of completeness~~~ there's also video of him touring singapore.. haha.. nice.. he may be old.. but he's still cutE! haha..
i may buy his compilation album.. since most of the really nice songs were from there.. haha.. worth the money man.. also.. he sang
when you need a friend.. in perfect english~ haha.. there was this part of a song where he tried to do it in chinese.. but.. well.. let's just say i don't understand. zenzen wakarimasen ne!!
my first japanese concert ended with a nice touch. there were parts.. like when he sang
my hometown and along with it.. was a video with pictures of his younger years.. and the lyrics.. which was about how his hometown has changed but not his love for it nearly brought me to tears.. ah.. and when he came out again and again when the applause never stopped.. nice~~~
subarashii ne... oda-san wa... sugoii na~~~

you don't have to be alone
you don't have to be alone.
just know my love for you
that's lyrics from a korean artist, se7en titled
hanbon dan hanbon (once, just once)... from his debut album
just listen... .. groovy r&b material.. no surprise since he's from the same company that signed whee sung.. YG Entertainment.. they even worked together on another song in this album,
ashwiun ibyor (separation)... nice.. do listen to it if u have the chance~
solid korean r&b artists and works are coming out.. really inspiring man... their r&b is more alike in nature to what we hear in chinese now (excluding the ENORMOUS number of korean songs being used by chinese artists... man.. where the hell is creativity now?!) and also to the western kind.. it's still rather different from what's in the japanese music scene but it's rather refreshing nevertheless... give me an original piece of music anytime man!
i've always wanted to do some r&b stuffs but it's rather difficult.. to really bring out the feel.. the music arrangement is very impt..that's how i see it at least.. damn i can't even work a guitar or piano and i'm thinking about r&b.. but well who knows.. muah ha ha ha ha...*silence off*...
ok.. i'm in no stand to laugh.. i can't do it.. but heck.. anyone can enjoy a good piece of groovy music right.. haha~~ time to do some.. r&b. haha... as if.
anyway.. i'm gonna update on this anime series i'm watching at the moment.. haha.. really nice.. really funny.. i've even managed to get my siblings watching! haha...
oh and i'm going to oda kazumasa's concert at the indoor stadium later.. never mind he's an uncle.. it's my first japanese concert!! haha... hope to discover some hidden gems there.. also.. irene got me a w-inds. poster !! muah ha hah ...

la selle de bain
In a cafe just a little down the stairs
from a city shop selling cameras and things
I smelled your lighter oil mixed with coffee and cream
and all this still lingered from the light you gave me
You said it didn't you? "Just do it, kill me..."
Today is a day, that in particular,
I seem to be smiling and laughing quite a lot
I just had a dream, and in it you had died
and I had no choice then, but to love you
Don't think to bother, don't ever leave me
So wash me, cut me, I'm underwater
My lungs are breathing, they're quite effective
Please watch me closely, and do check to see
I dry off completely, I dry through and through
Come shine me, tear me, I'm underwater
Relying completely unto gravity
And when I do I melt I'm entirely, immediately, bon apetit
It was you who was standing there, right in front of me
and I couldn't stop the tears, I couldn't hold them in
All of the little things of this little world,
are so very dear to me it hurts to think of them
Oh, don't make me have those kind of dreams again
A scent so sweet that it got me to tear
The troops who protect me were out on patrol
Please watch me closely and do check to see
I dry out completely, I dry through and through
A lie so big that it got me to tear
As soon as I said it, a wound opened up
and when I do melt I'm entirely, imediately, bon apetit
You said it, didn't you? "Just do it, kill me..."
So wash me, cut me, I'm underwater
My lungs are breathing, they're quite effective
Please watch me closely and do check to see,
I dry out completely, I dry through and through
Come shine me, tear me, I'm underwater
Relying completely unto gravity
and when I do melt, I'm entirely, imediately, bon apetit
I'm not afraid of a little boredom
Why did the two of them ever chance to meet?
I'm not afraid of a little boredom
Why did the two of them ever chance to meet?
I'm not afraid...

hmm
following eden's comment.. i got a shock. haha.. guess maybe because i translated it from my chinese blog.. since it was first thought of in chinese.. haha.. in psychology, according to linguistic relativity theory.. the language u use determine your thoughts..i wonder if i got the theory name right.. but anyway.. for better "feel" of sweet sakura.. read my chinese blog.. haha..
today.. i'm still feeling very happy.. and that's a good thing. a goooood thing. i don't know..maybe i think too much.. but i'm still pretty much stuck in my own happy thoughts..
had sushi with wanz today.. ah nice.. haven't had sushi in a long long time liew.. so i ate one plate more than usual.. haha.. wanz is a good sushi kaki.. and we've decided to look each other up when craving for sushi next time.. haha.. anyway we made plans for november..after exams..barbeque.. christmas gathering.. everything.. can't wait for exams to end like..right now! *dreaming*
anyway..i chanced upon an old friend whom i've never seen in years.. and the first thing he said was.. "you've become prettier!"...
i did? maybe at that moment.. it was my happy period of time.
but i thanked him.. and he kept repeating that.. muz be my hair.. muz be my weight loss... haha..
another thing to keep me happy.

sweet sakura
i don't know why..
this strong feeling just came... it was .. so sudden.. so powerful..
so overwhelming..
it makes me feel so happy.. so relaxed.. so good..
and it feels so real.. as if it has already happened...
all of a sudden.. i believed.
i believed firmly that you will appear in front of me.
one day.. you will come to me.. come straight to me.
with all the determination you have.
that mirror i've been searching for all the time.
the one that could let me see who exactly i am.
the one that i can stand before... with everything i've got.
no pretence, no acts... it's just me.
and standing before it makes me look beautiful.. for it's me.
you are that mirror. that special one.
i don't know when u will come to me.
your appearance won't be as what i've always imagined in my mind.
your words... they mostly likely won't be what i had in mind either.
but it's still you.
you'll still be there... be in my life.
i'm telling myself.. i'll wait for you.
i'll become a better person for you.
and hoping that we can meet at where the sakura fly...

this is the first time i'm updating my blog in school... what a... not nice experience.
i'm rushing through my term paper ..due tomorrow.. and now i discover that it seems like i have too much to write.. okie.. it seems la huh.. and i haven't even made any quotes nor references to any statistics yet. haha.. seems like my crapping skills which have been under a strike these few days is gradually coming back into action. this is a great news. cuz it means i can start gettting prepared for another round of crapping.. my crime fiction paper. that's due in 2 weeks. my god.. here it goes again.. all over again... haha..
anyway.. have i ever mentioned that i actually passed my psychological test? if i didn't... now you know. if i did.. it means i'm too happy for words! haha.. well.. wasn't a pretty score.. 38 out of 60..with really obvious mistakes (what was i thinking.. bloody hell.). now i've got another one on saturday.. and boy boy boy.. i haven't touched it yet!!! hahaa.. so i'm really dying to get this bloody paper done by today so that i can devote the whole of tomorrow into this.. fated-to-fail test..
my god. i'm facing a mental block right now.. all the sentences that i write.. don't make sense.. or they sound funny. man... my crapping skills.. my english...
don't forsake me now!!
anyway i discovered this korean r&b singer.. whee sung.. my god.. his music is GOOD. i introduced his first single,
with me from his new album
it's real to shuz...she likes too~~ or at least she commented it was nice. haha.. i had a sample of his album yesterday..and being in the i-wanna-dance mood.. his mid-tempo songs appealed to me nicely!! with his other two tracks
player and
dilemma... i'm tempted to get his album!!!
haha.. also.. my
saiyuki is back with it's latest season!!! update this next time~~

sanctuary
if i cannot have your love, i'd rather not exist.
As I reach out to touch your faraway fingertips
No matter where, no matter where, I will be calling your name
Transcending time and over the sky
I want to tell you that I will protect you.
Even this chilly wind
Cannot snatch away the warmth in my heart
Even if right now it is impossible
I will not blame this small but unfailing love
As I reach out to touch your faraway fingertips
No matter where, no matter where, I will be calling your name
Transcending time and over the sky
I want to tell you that I will protect you.

work work work
right now.. i'm supposed to be like half way through my social work term paper. but nope.. i haven't even touched it yet. i cannot imagine how dead i am. okie.. good thing i dun have my chinese lecture tml.. so i sorta have the whole of tml to do it.. provided i do it. haha...
my resolution was greatly disturbed by this drama
the rose or
bara no tame ni, its japanese manga name. it stars s.h.e with ella as the main character and a very very droolsome huang zhi wei. it tells the story of bai he, a not so pretty girl's fight to fit into her new found family and relationship with her brothers.. there's a little hint of incest in this story... but given it's a taiwanese made drama and stars the hottest group around.. it can't get too bad. ella's really cute inside.. and my previous hairstyle.. despite being cut after charlene choi in
twins effect was constantly mistaken as ella's in this show.. end up even i think it looks like that.. haha.. fringe trend.
today.. while on the bus, i caught the ending credits of this anime
arjuna... my god.. i was immediately captivated by the beautiful voice in the ending song.. which was immersed in a very moody and trance-like mood. i was like... my god.. i must have this song! thanks to my japanese classes.. i caught sight of the title and the singer.. and proceeded to look for it on the net.. which then i found out it was from
arjuna.. it's a story about this girl who died, but came back as a saviour of the Earth... hmmm.. the graphics not exactly my type but i like the idea that it corporates indian mythologies into the story..
it has seki tomokazu as one of the seiyuus.. funny he's always in the animes i wanna watch.. but unfortunately are all dubbed in chinese on scV!!!! same thing goes for seki toshihiko and ishida akira!!! they are both in
final fantasy: unlimited...but they are not dual sound on scv.. but the drawings not nice.. the characters have no depth.. hahaa... and they are the villians! haha
the song's named
sanctuary by sakamoto maaya.. in fact.. after listening to it.. and looking at the lyrics.. guess what.. i felt like crying! i don't know.. haha.. long time since i heard something that makes me wanna cry..

rainy day
rainy days please go away
rainy days please go away
i brought your favourite brand of instant noodles
that's supper for you when you finish your work
our place may be a little small
but it doesn't necessary mean "happiness" when it's bigger
i know the love you have for me
i know you want our future to be better
so don't be beaten by any hardship
we'll put up the shine and chase away the clouds
it's yet another rainy day outside the window
don't you ever drench my hubby
it may be another rainy day outside the window
i'll give you all the warmth you need
we can have the sweetest dreams in the worst weather
embracing each other while waiting for the most beautiful night sky
rainy days please go away
rainy days please go away
it never seems to stop raining
riding your scooter through the rain
your heart has shot pass the red light
watch the road!
go slowly.. i know you're not afraid of the dark
it's scary... honey, i'm scared
is it ok to be young and happy?
can we go on loving like this?
let's enjoy the rainy days together
in front of our small small tv
we sit side by side watching the old movies
although you're so tired.. you can't seem to stay awake
love is still all around in the air
it's yet another rainy day outside the window
don't you ever drench my hubby
it may be another rainy day outside the window
i'll give you all the warmth you need
we can have the sweetest dreams in the worst weather
embracing each other while waiting for the most beautiful night sky

final distance
Even though I worry about it, I can't ask
I'm tired of swimming, and even you have become shy
I want to see you, but I never can, waves push us apart
Again, just a little more distance
We can't dismiss this if we want to keep it going baby
If you don't feel the same then tell me
Even if you see only the slightest chance,
Then it's okay to try for the big celebration
I want to be with you now
Believe in us together through the distance
Now is the time
We can start over
Because I don't want to be alone
One day, even the distance
Will embrace me, but I'll get used to it
Because after all, I wanna be with you
Can a single word hurt this much?
Teach me loneliness and then come back to me
You can't stop the time, keep on trying baby
I can't promise but, trust me
Even if you see only the slightest chance,
Then it's okay to try for the big celebration
I wanna be with you now
Fix your eyes on us in through the distance
Now is the time
We can start over
Because I don't want to be alone
Say it in words
One day, even the distance
Will embrace me, but I'll get used to it
Because after all, I wanna be with you
