Smiley Smiley Neighbour

Last Wednesday was the last time I saw him...okay maybe not last Wednesday...a few months ago. He left for Australia to further his studies. I miss him!! I think I miss his playing...he plays the piano. Every time he plays it, I would lean against the wall to listen to it. He never fails to impress me. :) I would not be able to listen to it for another 3 years. sigh... I remember the first time we really notice each other. It's quite sweet if you see it at another way. That time I was at the night market. I was looking down, adjusting the plastic bags. Then, I suddenly look up and that when I saw him. He was across the road and he saw me too. He smile at me. It's like the world most beautiful smile ever..! (that's why I called him Smiley Smiley Neighbour. F.Y.I. he IS my neighbour. Just right next door. But I've never talked to him or his siblings before) I told my mum while he told his mum. Both our mum nod at each other. I can never forget that smile till today. I met him again during our piano theory exam. I was searching for my name at the board where they tell you which room you should go. Then, I was standing close to this guy and I looked up. It's him again. He gave me 'the' smile. I blushed and look away. After I finished the exam, I had some time left and I was loitering around the school compound. I decided to go to the board again to look for his name. Found it. :) haha I'm not a stalker but I don't have to courage to talk to him. Now it's already too late. He's in Australia already. boy, does this sound like I'm in love again?? Crap, I told myself not to fall in love and there we go...sigh...

1 Litre of Tears

arghhhhhhhhhhh...I just watched finish the special and he drama. I LOVE IT!! Even though I'm actually risking my life watching it(I have some health problems)but who cares? IT'S VERY NICE!! and sad. I cried almost every single episode. Nishikido Ryo...at a second thought, he is quite good-looking and Sawajiri Erika is a good actress. Unfortunately, her attitude ruined her career. The soundtracks are nice too! I like 'Konayuki' by Ramioromen the best among the three songs. I kept listening to it :) The guy from Ramioromen has quite a good voice too. I found out that they debuted in 2000. Their album, Horizon which has this song got double platinum. I think it's because of the drama this album sold a lot. Good for them. I think they deserved it.

Lyrics:
粉雪
Konayuki

粉雪舞う季節はいつもすれ違い
konayuki mau kisetsu wa itsumo surechigai
人混みに紛れても同じ空見てるのに
hitogomi ni magiretemo onaji sora miteru noni
風に吹かれて 似たように凍えるのに
kaze ni fukarete nita you ni kogoeru noni

僕は君の全てなど知ってはいないだろう
boku wa kimi no subete nado shitte wa inai darou
それでも一億人から君を見つけたよ
soredemo ichioku nin kara kimi wo mitsuketa yo
根拠はないけど本気で思ってるんだ
konkyo wa nai kedo honki de omotterunda

些細な言い合いもなくて同じ時間を生きてなどいけない
sasai na iiai mo nakute onaji jikan wo ikite nado ikenai
素直になれないなら 喜びも悲しみも虚しいだけ
sunao ni narenai nara yorokobi mo kanashimi mo munashii dake

粉雪 ねえ 心まで白く染められたなら
konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
二人の孤独を分け合う事が出来たのかい
futari no kodoku wo wakeau koto ga dekita no kai ?

僕は君の心に耳を押し当てて
boku wa kimi no kokoro ni mimi wo oshiatete
その声のする方へすっと深くまで
sono koe no suru hou he sutto fukaku made
下りてゆきたい そこでもう一度会おう
orite yukitai soko de mou ichido aou

分かり合いたいなんて 上辺を撫でていたのは僕の方
wakariaitai nante uwabe wo nadeteita no wa boku no hou
君のかじかんだ手も 握りしめることだけで繋がってたのに
kimi no kajikanda te mo nigirishimeru koto dake de tsunagatteta noni

粉雪 ねえ 永遠を前にあまりに脆く
konayuki nee eien wo mae ni amari ni moroku
ざらつくアスファルトの上シミになってゆくよ
zaratsuku asufaruto no ue shimi ni natteyuku yo

粉雪 ねえ 時に頼りなく心は揺れる
konayuki nee toki ni tayori naku kokoro wa yureru
それでも僕は君のこと守り続けたい
soredemo boku wa kimi no koto mamori tsuzuketai

粉雪 ねえ 心まで白く染められたなら
konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
二人の孤独を包んで空にかえすから
futari no kodoku wo tsutsunde sora ni kaesu kara

Translation:
The season in which the powdered snow dances always passes by
Even if I’m lost in a crowd I can see the same sky
Even though I'm chilled as if I'm being blown by the wind

I don't know anything(1) about you, do I?
And yet, I found you amongst a billion(2) people
There's no (scientific) basis for this, but I believe this with all seriousness

We can't live at the same time without trivial fights
If I can't be honest, then rapture and sorrow are meaningless

Powdered snow, if you paled me white to the heart
Can you share our loneliness?

I pressed my ear against your heart
Going gently, deeply towards where the sound (is coming from)
(That's where) I want to disembark,
There, we'll meet once again

I want us to reach rapport but I was the (only) one who touched its surface
The only thing that was holding us together was my hand squeezing yours that was numb with cold
Powdered snow, in front (of us), eternity, too fragilely, becomes a stain upon rough asphalt

Powdered snow, this heart that has transcended time is faltering
And yet, I want to continue to protect you

Powdered snow, if you paled me white to the heart
You would wrap around our loneliness and send it back into the sky

(1) lit. Everything.
(2) lit. A hundred million. Japanese number splitting are different in that it goes from a thousand (sen) to ten thousand (man) to a hundred million (oku) instead of the thousand, million and billion we're used to. I just made this a billion to parallel what I call a "numberless number" i.e. one of those numbers that doesn't have other number names in it like a hundred, thousand, etc.

31/05/2007

Today is a memorable day for someone. I've known him for almost 4 years now but lost contact about 2 years ago. It's actually more like blocking and deleting each other's e-mail address in MSN. Nevertheless, I shall not forget those times. It was actually one of my most happiest moments in my life. Without him, I wouldn't even be here typing. You can say he saved my life. Thank you very much. I realized my silliness of injuring myself just to get your attention. I don't think I'll ever do that again. :) Today is his birthday. I'm not sure whether it's real or not because many people(my friends) doubt his existence in reality. They think it's just a person that Carmen created online. But I don't think Carmen will do that 'cause he hurt me as in mentally a lot. So, yea...I thought I just wanna wish him a happy birthday. Don't worry, I've not talked about him with Carmen for a long time. I don't think so I'll ever fall in love with him again. I've made a promise to myself that I'll never fall in love again because it's just too painful for me to bear. Although I want to get married next time and have kids of my own. LOL How old am I to talk about love and marriage?? No matter what...I'll just wish him and blah off..

Happy Birthday, David.

straight forward when you ask him about apple dessert. You just met someone and you started asking him about someone whom he might have a special relationship with. That's so obvious ya noe..But he's in ...Sr. High School '09. Isn't that for seniors like 17 or 18?? HOW old is he man?That school is in America right? I'm gonna hunt him down.

Dilemma

Ah, today is the last day in April...Tomorrow will be the 1st of May which is my mom's birthday. I don't know what to give her...That's why I'm having a dilemma now. My brother and his girlfriend are bringing my mum and I out for dinner. Yipee~~ :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shelly bought Arashi Anniversary Concert 2009. She said it's very. very nice + lots of fountains + fireworks. Johnny K is seriously amazing. But I'm not sure if she watched finish already or not.

Sport's Day~~

haha this year's sports day isn't very nice...'cause Keruing didn't win first place lol. But I got sore throat and slight fever after coming back from the stadium. We have to sit under the hot sun. How nice...

1st place: Merbau
2nd place: Jati
3rd place: Cengal(amazing...I can't believe Cengal won us)
4th place: Keruing (my house :) )
5th place: Meranti

I miss those glory days when Keruing won first..It was only for one year though which is last year. The guys from our house won all three categories for Olaragawan kelas 1, 2 and 3. Belle was like saying "how come we won all three olahragawan and yet we didn't get 1st place. lol so true :D But honestly, I think the girls in my house are not good at running. There's this girl that walk for about 200metres for the 4x400metres race. How stupid is that. No offense! Even when I ran for that event when I was Form 2, I didn't even walk. I was so tired.

My friends cheered for me when I ran. I was about to give up when I hear people cheering. :) That is why everyone should go and cheer for the house members. It can help motivate them and keep them from giving up. I don't care, I must win a medal next year. The medal is made of metal. I like the clinging sound it made when two metals hit each other. Is there any chance for me? I won a silver for the 4x400meters event two years ago but it's made out of plastic. Furthermore, next year is my last year. Perhaps I should start working out now. :)

April Fool!

Today( 1st of April) we have PE class on our 1st & 2nd period. We went to the gym to do jengkauan melunjur I'm not sure if the spelling's right. Shelly and I finish doing. So we were playing with the gym equipments. It's called...something something horse. I don't remember the name. I didn't manage to do it. I ended up sitting on it. then, Shelly said she want to try. She hesitated for a moment and ask "How to do this ady ah?" So, I thought I was going to show her(I saw the girls doing it on Let's Go Dream Team Season 2). Without realization, both of us did it on the same time. You can guess what happen next. Both of us hit our head. You can hear a loud 'bong' sound. It's so painful that we have putting pressure on it while rolling on the mat. Puan Nazeema was like "hah, hah, main lagi." LOL nevertheless, it was fun. I wonder how Nino and Sho(?) did it without banging their head. Shelly was like saying "I think they did it on the long one." haha nice experience.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After PE, Shelly and I shared a cubicle to change back to our pinafore. Saw, the master mind did something to our door. Our school toilet's door have two locks. One on the inside and one on the outside. I heard Saw whispering like going and keep quiet something like that. So Shelly and I thought that will pretend to leave us alone in the toilet. But after we finish changing, we realized they locked the toilet from the outside. We can't go out. We were stuck inside. We yelled and banged the door. Shelly threw her shoe out because of frustration. LOL After about 3-4 minutes, Pan kicked Shelly's shoes the the door and open the door. She bolted after wards. Only left Carmen outside the the entrance.
When we return to class, Saw was running away from us. LOL What a nce April Fool joke. haha thanks anyway...it made today more memorable. :)

How are seedless grapes grown?

Have you ever wondered how are seedless grapes grown? I was thinking about it when I ate them. Due to my curiosity, I went onl9 to check and here it is...

Seedless grapes cannot be grown in the conventional way, from seeds. Therefore, to produce a new plant, growers take cuttings from other seedless grape plants and root them.

Although the exact origin of seedless grapes is unknown, it's possible that they were first cultivated thousands of years ago in the regions presently defined as Iran and Afghanistan. The seedless grape originated by way of a genetic mutation (called stenospermoscarpy) in which the hard seed casing failed to develop.

One the most popular varieties of seedless grape today is the green Thompson seedless grape. Ninety percent of all raisins are made from this variety of grape.

yup...like that...:D
