I went to watch the J Div gals play soccer against the other Div. I think they played well. Halijah wasn't around cos she had to do the night shift that day. After that we went to have dinner at Swensen's. I didn't care where I ate that night what I ate. All I wanna see is Siti Fatimah eating... that's all.

...my weekend...

Tomorrow's Monday... and I caught the Monday Blues Bug already...

anyway... I'm so bored that I feel like telling people about what I did over the weekend... 

Saturday I went to fetch my mum from her workplace and then we headed down to Arab Street where we bought cloth materials for the girls for my sister's wedding that will happen in about 10mths time... then we went to Tanjong Katong Complex to send my baju hari raya... then we went to Punggol for a wedding reception...

After that we went out with the cousins... and had dinner at Simpang Bedok... after Simpang Bedok we went to Henderson Waves to lepak... we met some insensitive Singaporeans there... no surprising though... we dun mind if u wanna bring ur pet(dog) along for the walk, but the very least u could do is use a leash and if u see a Muslim walking by, make sure your dog doesn't try to brush itself... cos it is definitely NOT cute looking at your dog chasing the Muslim around, u stupid f**k.

On Sunday.... I woke up super late... then went to buy durians and then went to Mustafa centr where I go buy my toiletries for the next 2 mths or so... i spent abt $250 there. Cos i bought a addidas T-shirt and 3/4 pants... 

And now here I am... staring into my computer... and I do still listen to Jason Mraz 'I'm Yours', but this time I'm listening to it together with Celine Dion's "Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore". Like they say... The French Language sounds sexy... that is if you don't understand what it means.. tak kan bila dorang maki kau pon sexy kan?? itu nama dia cari pasal babe...

anyway.. before I leave... here's the French lyrics to Celine's song and below is the translation...

J'ai compris tous les mots, j'ai bien compris, merci


Raisonnable et nouveau, c'est ainsi par ici


Que les choses ont chang, que les fleurs ont fan

Que le temps d'avant, c'tait le temps d'avant

Que si tout zappe et lasse, les amours aussi passent

Il faut que tu saches

 

J'irai chercher ton coeur si tu l'emportes ailleurs

M¨ºme si dans tes danses d'autres dansent tes heures

J'irai chercher ton âme dans les froids dans les flammes

Je te jetterai des sorts pour que tu m'aimes encore

 

Fallait pas commencer m'attirer me toucher

Fallait pas tant donner moi je sais pas jouer

On me dit qu'aujourd'hui, on me dit que les autres font ainsi

Je ne suis pas les autres

Avant que l'on s'attache, avant que l'on se gâche

 

Je veux que tu saches

 

J'irai chercher ton coeur si tu l'emportes ailleurs

Meme si dans tes danses d'autres dansent tes heures

J'irai chercher ton âme dans les froids dans les flammes

Je te jetterai des sorts pour que tu m'aimes encore

 

Je trouverai des langages pour chanter tes louanges

Je ferai nos bagages pour d'infinies vendanges

Les formules magiques des marabouts d'Afrique

J'les dirai sans remords pour que tu m'aimes encore

 

Je m'inventerai reine pour que tu me retiennes

Je me ferai nouvelle pour que le feu reprenne

Je deviendrai ces autres qui te donnent du plaisir

Vos jeux seront les nôtres si tel est ton dsir

Plus brillante plus belle pour une autre tincelle

Je me changerai en or pour que tu m'aimes encore

(English Translation)

I understood all the words, I well understood, thanks

Reasonable and new, that's the way here

Things have changed, that flowers get fade

That the time before, was the time before

If all zap and tire, loves also go by

You must know

 

I'll go get your heart if you take it somewhere else

Even if in your dances others dance your hours

I'll go get your soul in the colds in the flammes

I'll cast a spell on you for you to still love me

Shouldn't begin tease me touch me

Shouldn't give so much I don't know how to play

They say that today, they say others do so

I'm not the others

Before we attach to the other, before we spoil each other

I want you to know

 

I'll go get your heart if you take it somewhere else

Even if in your dances others dance your hours

I'll go get your soul in the colds in the flammes

I'll cast a spell on you for you to still love me

 

I'll find languages to sing your praises

I'll make my luggage for infinite vintages

Magic spells from African priests

I'll say them without remorse for you to still love me

I'll name myself queen for you to hold me

 

I'll make myself new to let the fire restart

I'll become these others who give you pleasure

Your games will be ours if that's your wish

More brilliant more beautiful for another spark

I'll change myself into gold for you to still love me

...i'm yours...

I always have this problem of not knowing what to write. 

While walking from the carpark to my office, I usually thought of alot of things for me to say and blog it all out... but once I sit infront of my laptop... my mind went blank... 

Let's start with how life has been going for me... and "Great" is not the right word... neither "Good" is... But it has been pretty okay...

It is safe to say that I have been doing crazy things recently...

Nini left on Wednesday evening... she got a flight out of Frankfurt to Vancouver... so she left for her holiday... it didn't really sank in that she left when I woke up on Thursday morning... but then she smsed me to tell me she's in Frankfurt waiting for her connecting flight. The total flying time from SG to Vancouver via Frankfurt is a total of 29hrs (no typo error there)... I guess, by the time I enter the 20hr mark... I would have gone crazy... 

I collected my Course Materials yesterday. Just one main subject and on UniCore. Since I already passed my Effective Comms, I just need another few more credits... But I will still be one sem behind... doesn't matter... I'll just take my time and hope time pass quickly...

I am in a serious need of a Holiday. hahahaha I guess everyone I know needed one... I can't go end of Oct cos Zila's getting married by then. And I'm leaving for US end of December. Still looking for the cheapest way to fly there...

It's a Friday and I'm still stuck in office... this is one of those days where I would love to shout TGIF... but currently there is nothing much to be thankful except for the presence of family and true friends... 

I can't get Jason Mraz's 'I'm Yours' out of my head and it has been on repeat mode on my iPod since morning... arghz...

The Bitter Separation....

The title of the blog entry is the name of the song I co-wrote with one of my best friends, Elsa Faith. She's one of the best talent in Singapore and it is really sad to see her leave. But then again, she is living her dream in America now. Check her band out at www.myspace.com/souldistraction. 

The story behind this song... is about the betrayal of a good friend and a guy friend. Whatever happened was so long ago. I got over it actually. I can't believe that I did... I liked to thank all those who have helped me through the turmoil. Some of them were right. Time do heal the wound, but then again the scar remains reminding me not to play with "fire". Although I would like to think that all is forgiven and forgotten, it's not exactly chucked in some chest and buried 7 feet under. Like all songs, this song gonna be around for a long time to remind pple not to be too trusting no matter how nice their friends are. I wrote this song in early'06, when I was doing my night shift at HQ. Hahaha... I realised last night that up till only recently, I have totally forgotten the meaning of this song. But last night when Feefee played this song in the car, memories and emotions came flooding. 

All I would like to say is, you should never let anyone make u feel small for when you allow that to happen, you are at the lowest point of your life...

Siti asked for the lyrics of this song last night... so here it is...

I can barely breathe lately 
I only reduce the time I need you 
You never seemed to care at all 
Never oh oh never 
I can barely stand alone now 
Looking outside, I know that you won't be there 
My eyes are open, I look & I stare 
Why aren't you there? 

Let's destroy the forest 
Let's destroy the sea 
Let's destroy the oxygen 
That we inhale in you & me 
That is what humans do 
That is what humans do 
I know who destroyed my heart 
It's you 

Sitting alone at the dinner table 
Ate quietly and crying inside 
I took my time, that seems forever 
Oh such a long, long time 
Why did you speak when there's nothing to say? 
Why did you leave, there's no door anyway? 
How can you forget? 
For I can't forget.. the time we shared 

Let's destroy the forest 
Let's destroy the sea 
Let's destroy the oxygen 
That we inhale in you & me 
That is what humans do 
That is what humans do 
I know who destroyed my heart 
It's you 

Yeah we were all just friends 
What happen in the end? 
Yeah.. I pity the one who's with you... 

Let's destroy the forest 
Let's destroy the sea 
Let's destroy the oxygen 
That we inhale in you & me 
That is what humans do 
That is what humans do 
I know who destroyed my heart 
It's you
