Thinking About You - Norah Jones

I love Norah Jones' debut album, Come Away With Me. However, her 2nd album didn't spark my interest that much. Her latest album, "Not Too Late" includes one of my favourite song there, "Thinking About You". And now.... waiting for her new album, "The Fall" by November 17, 2009.

Long-lasting it will be.

Habis Terserah

Actually I like another song by Glenn Fredly (Januari, anyone???) called Habis. But I can't find the video in YouTube, so apparently it's not his hit plug. So instead, I put up his other single called Terserah.

TERSERAH

Jangan kau ganggu hidupku lagi

Sudah jelas kini yang kau mau

Kau sakiti hati ini 'tuk kesekian kali

Memang ku cinta namun tak begini

[*] Dimana arti sebuah kesetiaan

Bila hanya dalam ketekatan

Ku coba untuk bertahan

Namun aku tak sanggup

Sungguh tak mampu sayangku

[**] Terserah kali ini

Sungguh ku tak kan perduli

Ku tak sanggup lagi

Jalani cinta denganmu

[***] Biarkan ku sendiri

Tanpa bayang-bayangmu lagi

Ku tak sanggup lagi

Mulai kini semua terserah

Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours

Today is 6/21 and this is the 621th post of this blog.

Yeah, it's special and I present you with this...

Beethoven - Love Letters of Great Men

Good morning, on July 7

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved, now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us - I can live only wholly with you or not at all - Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits - Yes, unhappily it must be so - You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you. No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never - Oh God, why must one be parted from one whom one so loves. And yet my life in V is now a wretched life - Your love makes me at once the happiest and the unhappiest of men - At my age I need a steady, quiet life - can that be so in our connection? My angel, I have just been told that the mailcoach goes every day - therefore I must close at once so that you may receive the letter at once - Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together - Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell. Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

ever thine

ever mine

ever ours

P/S : The above was quoted in Sex & The City. Who knows Beethoven can be that devastatingly romantic? Yes, it's not shown in Malaysia which I think it won't ever be. Not that it's a must-watch but women in 40's as real starring of a movie is a rare occurrence.

这是張震嶽的勇氣， 那我的呢？已用尽了吧

Sometimes I can be very brave. Singing it to you is. And it will be the only time.
This song always hold a special place in my heart just like you.

like his voice
terima kasih

Happy Teacher's Day and its unrelated post....

Happy Teacher's Day to all the teachers, especially all my teachers and also my friends who are teacher (you know who you are). Will not be updating this blog for a while and I leave you with something here. Enjoy the song, one of my favourite singer, Cheer Chen Qi Chen.

你看过了许多美景
你看过了许多美女
你是在地图上每一道短暂的光影
你拼成了夜的芭比


你踏过下雪的北京
你收集书本里每一句你最爱的真理
却说不出你爱我的原因
却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情
却说不出在什么场合曾让你动心
说不出离开的原因


你累积了许多飞行
你用心挑选纪念品
你搜集了地图上每一次的风和日丽你拥抱热情的岛屿
你埋葬记忆的土尔其
你留恋电影里美丽的不真实的场景


却说不出你爱我的原因
却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情
你却说不出在什么场合曾让你分心
说不出旅行的意义


你勉强说出你爱我的原因
you forced yourself to say the reason you loved me
却说不出你欣赏我哪一种表情
but you just couldn't tell me which expression of me that you admire
你却说不出在什么场合我曾让你动心
but you just couldn't tell me what occasion made you fell for me
说不出旅行的意义
couldn't say the meaning of travelling
勉强说出你为我寄出的每一封的信
you half-heartedly say that every single letters that you sent to me
都是你离开的原因
are the reason you left me

你离开我就是旅行的意义
you leaving me is the meaning of travelling

For You, A Thousand Times Over

I Saw The Moon Last Night

OK... was thinking of writing a post titled Romantic Sabahan but when I blog-browsing this morning, found out that Edi-Son wrote a similar one already!!!!

Anyway, I now story you all...

I was driving back from outstation, after spending the weekend in Tawau, back to Sandakan. Time was about 7pm and there was no streetlights at all, even when I reach Mile 8. So, another blackout. No surprise huh? To those non-Sabahan, in particular non-Sandakan ppl, err... blackout is the normal event in our lives. We live with it as long as we remember. In fact, it remains a mystery why the SESB still operate and no one has to resign/sacked after whacking us for so many damn donkey years.

I remember there was a time when there's a chain email being forwarded among Sandakan people, written to the GM or manager of the Sandakan SESB complaining about the situation.

Also, there was a time when one of the transformer station exploded a certain industrial area in Mile 3 was out of electricity for more than a week and caused tremendous loss to the frozen seafood factories.

Also who can forget the irony of the day when Sandakan was declared the Nature City when there's no electricity and water supply on that day????? So aptly happened right?

Frustrations aside, it's a rare opportunity to see the moon, so bright and clear. No stars sighted though. Hmm..... it will be good to have a love one to sit next to me at the balcony enjoying the moon and the warmth of the company next to me.. See???????? Sabahans are romantic hahahaha!!!!!!

Let's Start from Here - Joanna Wang

LET'S START FROM HERE

giving up why should i

have come too far to forget

beautiful just got lost

somewhere along the way

so much was missing when you went away

let's start from here lose the past

change our minds we don't need a finish line

let's take this chance don't think too deep

all those promises we couldn't seem to keep

i don't care where we go

let's start from here

standing here face to face

a finger on your lips

don't say a word don't make a sound

silence around us now

even when you were gone i felt you everywhere

let's start from here

i've never been the one to open up

but you've always been the voice within

the only one for my cold heart

let's start from here lose the past

change our minds we don't need a finish line
let's take this chance don't think too deep
all those promises we couldn't seem to keep
i don't care where we go

let's start from here

ok... since liangmoi and sophia already blogged on Joanna Wang, I guess it would be logical to be my turn. it's a great album and yes, i might be biased since i recommended it to everyone since early days already (look at her post of her videos on You Tube in my previous post here )

Missing It

Taken with hp on the way leaving Tawau 7am few weeks ago.

Reminded me of the recent trip to Taiwan. The cloud in Sun-Moon Lake was something like above, only more dramatic and contrast.

Could It Be

Could it be

When you leave
I smiling hold
this soft furry
bouncing
tingling
tickling
I don't know what to call it
"thing"

it moves around me
all day
moves me around
al day

tickling tingly "thing"

waiting to bounce out
my eyes
my mouth
my ears
my nose
my belly
my thighs
and all those other shy soft places
waiting to be named
in subtler tones

waiting to bounce out
soft funny
bouncy cuddly
tingling tickly
ah! so touchy tender "thing"
waiting to bounce out at you
when you get home

could it be.


could it be 10 already? yes, it could be. LY.

Things We Take For Granted

Read a post in HopefulPessimist's blog and she wrote this....


They are the things that we take for granted everyday...

To see

To hear

To touch

To taste

To feel

To laugh

To love
