*******************************************
Finally realized my dream of visiting Japan (^ o ^)... and I am indeed very lucky to be able to view the sakura during its peak... this year sakura opened a week earlier than last year... which had me worried while reading the various site where progress of the blossom was carefully blogged... then came the news that Japan is currently experiencing an unexpected cold drift which delayed the full blossoming of the sakura across the entire country... and when I touched down in Narita on 03 April 2010, the sakura in Ueno Park were at its peak... The scene was simply too breathtaking for any words... so many people gathered in Ueno Park to enjoy the lovely view of sakura... as I joined in the crowd to stroll around the park with my mom, my camera was busy taking in the views of the sakura in hope of capturing this wonderful moment... everything was so beautiful and calming... never had I experience such a feeling... this affirmed my decision to return to Japan again when I have the chance and money... not to say that I am still missing a lot of attractions around Japan... one week is simply not enough to enjoy the mystery and sights of Japan... this april would be the most memorable one in my entire 26 years of life so far... and I promised to continue making those memories (^_^)

月導 ~Tsukishirube~
南里侑香
wasurenaide kono omoi wa
bokura ga shinjita ai no uta
Please don't forget, this feeling
Is the resonance of love that we believed in
dakishimeta yoru ni wa kaketa tsuki ga naku
kurikaesu tsumi ni wa tomadoi no tsuki ga
michiru tokeru
On the night when I hug you, the waning moon cries
In my repeating sins, the moon of hesitation
Grows full and becomes obscured
ikutsumo no kokoro ga kimi o shibaru nara
ochite yuku ketsui ga yurusareru made
ai na no to shinjitai
If many hearts restrain you
Then until your determination to fall is allowed
I want to believe that it's 'love'
kasuka na koe aguriyosete
majiwaru yami no shirabe
tsunaide yuku kono omoi wa
bokura ga yumemita toki no uta
I pull in a faint voice
And it mingles with the tune of darkness
This connected feeling
Is the song from the moment when we dreamed
ubawareta yoru ni wa amai kaori tatsu
yorisoeta yoru ni wa akai namida ga
michiru yureru
On the night when it's stolen away, it gives off a sweet fragrance
On the night when I snuggle up to you, red tears
Overflow and flicker
oroka na ikizama tsuki wa warau deshou
fusagareta kotoba o kimi ni kasanete
ai da yo to sakebitai
The moonlight laughs at a foolish way of life, doesn't it?
I repeat the blocked word onto you
And I want to shout that it's 'love'
nemuranaide soba ni ite yo
michibiku hikari no naka
ikiru imi o umete yuku wa
bokura ga kogareta ai no uta
Please don't sleep, be by my side
Within the guiding light
Burying the meaning of living
Is the resonance of love that we longed for
kimi ga iru basho
kimi ga iru sora
kimi ga iru mirai o
boku ga furete mo kanashimi ni somenaide
arukitai
The place where you are
The sky where you are
The future where you are
Even if I touch them, I want to walk
Without getting dyed by sorrow
kimi no
Your...
kasuka na koe taguriyosete
majiwaru yami no shirabe
tsunaide yuku kono omoi wa
bokura ga yumemita
I pull in a faint voice
And it mingles with the tune of darkness
This connected feeling
Is when we dreamed...
wasurenaide kono omoi wa
bokura ga shinjita ai no uta
Please don't forget, this feeling
Is the resonance of love that we believed in

Flashmob is really a very amazing and fun event... my first time was so enjoyable and successful... everyone is so devoted during the performance... and we received compliments and words of appreciations... but the most important gain was that I got to know my colleagues better... and the bonds between us deepen till our nonsense just became so crazy... Danceflow became a super noisy and loud group... which was proven by the outings we had organized so far... I had never thought of dancing... much less having two public performances... haha... do look out for the telecast of the program that followed through the flashmob event on Channel U somewhere is september... that is if they do not edit away our interviews (^ o ^)...
I failed my first attempt in driving... and did not manage to pass my JLPT 3... which was a bit expected for the later... but I am not saddened due to the nearing of my Japan trip (~ o ~)... currently would be occupied by work and continuous driving lessons... but would update after my Japan trip (> o <)

Everytime You Kiss Me
Emily Bindiger
everytime you kissed me roses die silver dishes for the memories joys of the daylight now let my happiness sing inside my dream.......... everytime you kissed me underneath the stars
I trembled like a child
gathering the roses
we sang for the hope
your very voice is in my heartbeat
sweeter than my dream
we were there, in everlasting bloom
the secret is inside the pain
winds are high up on the hill
I cannot hear you
come and hold me close
I’m shivering cold in the heart of rain
darkness falls, I’m calling for the dawn
for the days gone by
singing for the promises
tomorrow may bring
I harbour all the old affection
roses of the past
darkness falls, and summer will be gone
shadows of starlight
everything was sweet by your side, my love
ruby tears have come to me, for your last words
I’m here just singing my song of woe
waiting for you, my love
my heart was in such pain
gathering the roses
we sang of the grief
your very voice is in my heartbeat
sweeter than despair
we were there, in everlasting bloom
shaded by the flowers
kiss me in the summer day gloom, my love
you are all my pleasure, my hope and my song
I will be here dreaming in the past
until you come
until we close our eyes

It's truly amazing how fate can bond people from differing background... before the formation of the dance group in hope of helping out in the D&D charity drive... I would never have thought of even speaking to my dance members... however... once the practices started... we became so close and share an unspeakable bond... we became very noisy and it sometimes got to the point of irritating our choreographers... through all the hard work... we managed to roll out a good show as per commented by our very relieved and happy nanny Fik who couldn't stopped commenting on us off the stage... then came the surprise birthday for the two seniors... and spin off to something that would carry on... the appearing of MSN emails on what to prepare for the next birthday surprises... and not forgetting the new assignment some of them took up... a new set of dance... I joined in rather late but was already laugh my heads off during the practices... never had I imagined that I could be so involved and get to learn about the true characters and mischief each and every members have... together... I felt like going back to my primary school days... where we had formed the sailormoon grouping... Nanny Fik even suggested that we could carry on as Danceflow to perform for every D&D... I feel blessed to be given the chance to make so many new friends in the company... Go girls!! May our friendship last forever no matter what may happen (^ o ^)

ふたり
いきものがかり
Dakishimetemo dakishimetemo
Todokanai omoi ga aru nara
Kotoba ni dekinai sono itami wa
Boku ga ima uketomeru yo
If there’s a feeling you can’t express
No matter how much you hold me and hold me
I’ll take in the pain
That you can’t put into words now
Itsu kara bokura wa otona ni natte
Kazoekirenai namida wo umaku wa nai
Egao ni kakushite kitan darou
Sou da yo kizu tsuku koto wa wakatte ita
Konna ni mo soba ni iru no ni
Doushite kana setsunaku naru toki ga aru yo
When did we grow up
And start hiding countless tears
Behind badly-faked smiles?
Yes, we knew we’d get hurt
We’re so close, yet for some reason
I feel bittersweet sometimes
Haru ni fukikonda
Tokyo no kaze ni nanika wo mitsuke
Arukidasun da to kimi wa naite ita
You cried, saying you’d find something
In the spring breeze that blows through Tokyo
And start to make your way
Dakishimetemo dakishimetemo
Todokanai omoi ga aru nara
Kasaneta kokoro ni mimi wo yosete
Kimi no koe sagasu yo
Hanasanaide hanasanaide
Futari wa tsunagatte iru kara
Kotoba ni dekinai sono itami wa
Boku ga ima uketomeru yo
If there’s a feeling you can’t express
No matter how much you hold me and hold me
I’ll put my ear to our two hearts that are joined as one
And listen for your voice
Don’t let go, don’t let go
We’re connected as one
I’ll take in the pain
That you can’t put into words now
Doushite sunao ni narenain darou
Tonari ni ite hoshii tte sa ieru no nara
Sabishisa mo nukumori wo motsu no ni
Why can’t I be honest with you?
If I could say that I want you by my side
Then even my loneliness would have a warmth
Yasashisugirun da chiisana uso mo tsukenai mama da yo
Haguresou na te wo kimi wa nigirukaesu
You’re too nice, you can’t tell the tiniest lie
When my hand seems like it’ll slip out of yours, you hold it tight
Dakishimetemo dakishimetemo
Kanawanai omoi ga aru nara
Hieru kokoro ni inori komete
Boku no koe tsutau yo
Hanasanaide hanasanaide
Kono te wa tsunagatte iru kara
Kotoba ni dekinai sono negai wa
Boku ga ima uketomeru yo
If there’s a wish that won’t come true
No matter how much you hold me and hold me
I’ll pray to your freezing heart
And send my voice to you
Don’t let go, don’t let go
Our hands are joined
I’ll hear the wish
That you can’t put into words now
Dakishimetemo dakishimetemo
Todokanai omoi ga aru nara
Nandomo kokoro ni te wo nobashite
Kimi no koe sagasu yo
Hanasanaide hanasanaide
Futari wa tsunagatte iru kara
Kotoba ni dekinai sono itami wa
Boku ga ima uketomeru yo
If there’s a feeling you can’t express
No matter how much you hold me and hold me
I’ll reach out to your heart again and again
And listen for your voice
Don’t let go, don’t let go
We’re connected as one
I’ll take in the pain
That you can’t put into words now

Barely 3 days into 2010, and I am already rushing for time... soon, D&D would arrive and I am still very not-so-confident for the performance... not to say singing 3 songs for the opening with all RC members... they better not give the the front seats... then Chinese new year would come and I am to sit for my practical... so fast!! The only plus is that after all this madness... I would be off to Tokyo!!! Indeed... 2010 would be one of the most memorable year for me... Just hope that all would be having fun this year too (^ o ^)

It's been bothering me so much
The way you treated me like a thing
Isn't what you're saying now different from before

It'd be selfish of me to say I didn't want you to go

Love or friendship, I just want to know

In less than an hour... open thy arms to embrace the arrival of 2010... so many things had happened over the past year... I had underwent so much in my job and is still searching for the meaning of it... finished my Intermediate Japanese studies... sat for JLPT 3 and knowing that I would not fare too well... helped and participated in quite a few company's events... went overseas 3 times for holiday... doing a lot of crazy staff with my friends and colleague... held the first ever birthday party for my boy boy... still trying hard to realize the dream of performing well for the upcoming company D&D with 2 weeks left... took up driving lessons to prepare for the practical at 19 Feb 2010... gearing and saving up for my April's Japan trip... and so on... today... one of my colleague asked about my new year's resolution... and I am rather at loss... just continue to hope that all is well and smooth in every thing I do and wish for...
All the best to everyone out there!! And may all's new year's resolution comes true!!!

I Do It
ステレオポニー
kotae no nai mainichi ga
tada sugite yuku jikan ga
kore kara saki dou naru no darou
wakaranai
An everyday that has no answer
Just the time that goes by
What will happen from this point
I don't know
yami yori mo fukai yoru no kodoku ni
madowasareteta
dareka ni ima kizuite hoshii
koko kara nigedashitai kara
I was confused
By the loneliness of nights deeper than the dark
I want someone to notice me now
Because I want to escape from here
mado kara mieru asayake
heya ni narihibiku oto
ARAAMU ni okosarete
usugurai naka ie tobidasu yo
KABAN no naka ni wa
nani mo kawaranai heibon tsumekonde
soshite itsumo no basho e
The sunrise colors I can see from my window
The ringing vibration in the room
Woken up by the alarm
I dash out of my dimly-lit house
Inside of my bag
I packed the regular stuff, not changing a thing
Then I head to the usual place
dareka ga itta kotoba ga
ki ni natte madowasarete
arasoitaku nante nai kara
nani mo ienai
yume ya risou wa aru keredo
kimochi bakari saki ni itte
genjitsu ga zutto ushiro kara
boku o miteru
Words that someone said
Make me worried and confused
And because I don't want to contest them
I can't say anything
I have dreams and ideals
But only my feelings go ahead of me
And the reality is looking at me
From the behind all the time
nee dareka oshiete
minna sou na no kana
kyou ga shiawase nara
sore de ii to omoeru tte
osanai koro ni wa
tashika ni atta yo
yume o oikaketeta
demo sore mo tooi kioku
Hey, somebody show me
Is everybody like that
That they 'feel it's good enough
if they're if happy today'
When I was I child
I definitely had it
I had chased after dreams
But that is a far memory
kotae no nai mainichi ga
tada sugite iku jikan ga
kore kara saki dou naru no darou
wakaranai
tsukiakari no michishirube
kumo o koe boku ni todoke
susumu beki michi o terashite yo
kyou ga donna ni kowaresou de mo
An everyday that has no answer
Just the time that goes by
What will happen from this point
I don't know
The moonlights guidepost
Go past the clouds and reach me
Shine the way that I must go
Even if today seems so broken
nani ga atte mo
nani ga atte mo
shinjitetai kara
ano hi no tooi kioku yobisamasu kara
wasurenaide ne mune ni kizamitsuke
Even if something happens
Even if something happens
Because I want to believe
Because I'll recall the distant memories of that day
Please don't forget, carve it into your chest
kotae wa jibun no naka ni
kanarazu aru mono da kara
akiramenaide
tsuyoku ikiru koto o yamenaide
kanashisugite
mae ni susumenai toki de mo
tomo ni nayami ayunda bokura ni
kaze wa fuku
doko made de mo
Because the answer is something
That definitely exists inside of yourself
Don't give up
Don't stop living strong
Even when it's too sad
And you can't advance forward
To the both of us who grieve, walked
The wind blows
Endlessly

Will make the small ache

Don’t Look Back
浜崎 あゆみ
Modore nai modora nai kaeru basho wa mou nai
Ikura furikaette mo kaerare nai
Kirei na ashiato ni nuri kaeta tokoro de
Jibun no kokoro dake wa damase nai
I can’t go back, I won’t go back, there’s nowhere left for me to return
However much I look behind me, I can not change my footprints
And even if I paint over them beautifully
My mind won’t be deceived
(Don't look back) Kakkowarui
(Don't look back) Tokoro koso ga itooshii
(Don’t look back) The unattractive
(Don’t look back) parts of myself are dear to me
Modore nai modora nai kaeru basho wa mou nai
Ikura furikaette mo kaerare nai
Kirei na ashiato ni nuri kaeta tokoro de
Jibun no kokoro dake wa damase nai
I can’t go back, I won’t go back, there’s nowhere left for me to return
However much I look behind me, I can not change my footprints
And even if I paint over them beautifully
My mind won’t be deceived
(Don't look back) Waraeru no wa
(Don't look back) Toori sugita kara koso
(Don’t look back) I can smile
(Don’t look back) Because that period is over
Susumi tai susume nai sou yatte Mayotte
Iru tte koto wa mou mayotte nai
Koko de todomaru nara ikuraka raku kamo ne
Dakedo mune o kogasu shigeki mo nai
I want to go forward, I can’t go forward
Hesitating like this means that I won’t hesitate anymore
It would be easier for me to stay here
But nothing would excite me
Nee dare mo kamo iidasu no wa
Ichiban kagayaite ta koro no jibun
Nante sore wa kanashi sugiru wa
What fulfils everyone is the period in their lives when they shone the most
How tragic that is…
Don’t look back
Susumi tai susume nai sou yatte Mayotte
Iru tte koto wa mou mayotte nai
Koko de todomaru nara ikuraka raku kamo ne
Dakedo mune o kogasu shigeki mo nai
I want to go forward, I can’t go forward
Hesitating like this means that I won’t hesitate anymore
It would be easier for me to stay here
But nothing would excite me
Modore nai modora nai kaeru basho wa mou nai
Ikura furikaette mo kaerare nai
Kirei na ashiato ni nuri kaeta tokoro de
Jibun no kokoro dake wa damase nai
I can’t go back, I won’t go back, there’s nowhere left for me to return
However much I look behind me, I can not change my footprints
And even if I paint over them beautifully
My mind won’t be deceived
Konna fuu ni maku wa orosu
Anata nara ...
The curtain falls in this way
And you…
Don’t look back
