*******************************************
The KL trip was indeed one enjoyable one... we went to KLCC and took lots of photos... shop at the Bukit Bintang area where a lot of shopping complexes are... ate a truly delicious and fun grand suckling dinner off Jalan Alor... experienced travelling via the monorail and bus... not forgetting the taxis... too many photos to share... but those who are friends in the facebook would be able to see them soon... shortly after my japanese intermediate 4 finals and Bangkok trip... yes... back to Bangkok for a craze shopping indulgence... hope I can keep my spending minimum so that I have enough for a comfortable and memorable Tokyo trip next year early April!!!

I Do It
ステレオポニー
Tokai wo kugurinukeru
Kousoku douro no mukou ni
Mieta akari wa
I slip through the city
Because the light I see
At the end of the highway
Chiisana itami wo
Mune no oku kagayasete
Kiete shimau kara
Will make the small ache
In my heart shine
And disappear
Oitsukenai
Sonna ki ga shita kedo
I felt like
I couldn't catch up
Atashi wa nanimo kowakunai no
Mada shiranai koto bakari
But I'm not scared
There's still so much I don't know
Supiido wo agete
Hashirinukeru
I speed up
And race through
Yuku saki mo douse wakaranai kara
I do it
I don't know where I'm going anyway, so
I do it
Akai sora wo utsusu
Djitaru no kamera mitai ni
Iro wo tsuketashite
The sky is red
Adding color
Like a digital camera
Muri ni senchimentaru na
Koto wa yamete hoshii tte omou no
I wish it wouldn't try
To be so sentimental
Datte yarikirenai yo
'Cause this is unbearable
Kowarete yuku
Sonna ki ga suru kara
I feel like
I'm coming apart
Atashi wa mimi wo fusaide iru
Mada shiranai koto bakari
But I cover my ears
There's still so much I don't know
Supiido wo agete
Hashiri nukeru
I speed up
And race through
Tachidomaru wake ni wa ikanai kara
Because I can't stand still
Kotae ga hoshikute
Toikakete kita kedo
I asked
Because I wanted an answer
Mae ni susumanakya
Miete konai to
But they said I had to keep going
Or I'd never know
Mou kakugo wa dekite iru yo
I'm ready
Atashi wa nanimo kowakunai no
Mada shiranai koto bakari
But I'm not scared
There's still so much I don't know
Supiido wo agete
Hashiri nukeru
I speed up
And race through
Kono mama owaritaku wa nai kara
I do it
I don't want it to end like this, so
I do it

A lot of uncertainties floating out there... And I am feeling somewhat insecured... Wonder how everything would resolve... Just don't feel like thinking too much... looking forward to my KL trip... Happy Mid-Autumn Festival... Below are some pictures taken for a very special mooncake... assorted fruits and nuts with ham mooncake...

世界に一つだけの花
SMAP
NO.1 ni nara nakutemo ii
moto moto tokubetsu na ONLY ONE
There's no need to be No. 1
You've always been a very special only one
hanaya no misesaki ni naranda
ironna hana o miteita
hito sorezore konomi wa aru kedo
doremo minna kirei dane
kono naka de dare ga ichiban da nante
arasou koto mo shinai de

chanto mune o hatteiru
sore na noni bokura ningen wa
doushite kou mo kurabeta garu
hitori hitori chigau noni sono naka de
ichiban ni naritagaru
sousa bokura wa
I saw many kinds of flowers lined up in front of the flowershop
Everyone has their favorite kinds but all of them are pretty
Without competing to see which was the best among them
They were standing straight up proudly inside the bucket
So why then do we humans have to compare ourselves to one another
Even though each and every person is different
Why do we want to be number one
Yes we are each...
sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
hitori hitori chigau tane o motsu
sono hana o sakaseru koto dake ni
A flower unlike any other in the world
And each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on trying to make that flower bloom
isshou kenmei ni nareba ii
komatta youni warai nagara
zutto mayotteru hito ga iru
ganbatte saita hana wa dore mo

yatto mise kara dete kita

iro toridori no hanataba to
ureshi souna yokogao
namae mo shira nakatta keredo
ano hi boku ni egao o kureta
There are people who are constantly unsure of what they want
As they laugh a little put out
It can't be helped, all those flowers
That did everything they could to bloom, are pretty
When at last that person comes out of the store
They're holding a colorful bouquet
And I see them smiling happily as they go by me
I never knew their name but
That day they made me smile
dare mo kidzukanai youna basho de
saiteta hana no youni
We too are like flowers that bloom in places where no one pays any attention
Yes we too are each...
sousa bokura wa
sekai ni hitotsu dake no hana
hitori hitori chigau tane o motsu
sono hana o sakaseru koto dake ni
isshou kenmei ni nareba ii
A flower unlike any other in the world
And each and everyone of us carries a different seed
We should focus all our efforts on trying to make that flower bloom
chiisai hana ya ooki na hana
hitotsu toshite onaji mono wa nai kara
NO.1 ni nara nakute mo ii
moto moto tokubetsu na ONLY ONE
Small flowers and big flowers
None are the same as one another
There's no need to be No 1
You've always been a very special only one

My Song and…
Younha
I made a song for you my friend
I made a song that I will sing for you
Filling my life with many beautiful lights
And a thousand melodies
You are my paradise
I made a song for you my dream
I made a song that I will sing for you my friend
Falling in love with every part of your life
until the end of time
I love you more than my life
I wanna know you more
When you call me an angel
When you cross me look
Into my eyes
Even though my love for you
May fade away
I wanna give you more than words ever say
Cause I believe in you
And my song will fill the air when we’re apart
Even though my love for you may fade away
I wanna let my words be true till the end of time
‘Cause I believe you’ll never forget and I won’t forget
The song in my heart
Every time when I was down
You always came around
And your love of life to my life
I am gonna sing forever
I am gonna sing forever
Close your eyes
I wanna give you more than words can ever say
‘Cause I believe in you
And my song will fill the air when we’re apart
Even though my love for you may fade away
I wanna let my words be true till the end of time
‘Cause I believe you’ll never forget
And I won’t forget the song in my heart
I wanna sing for you my friend
I wanna sing for you with all my heart
I wanna sing for you my dream
I wanna sing for you and…

A fresh start after almost 13hrs plus of long journey via bus from Larkin to Kelantan...

This is the temple where we seek out to wash our face before having our breakfast... The driver took almost an hour to find it... as he drove us round in circles... till one guy finally stood up to alert our tour guide that the driver lost his way...

A photo to mark the start of this one day trip...

My aunt and uncle...

My cousin who is always so cheerful...

The street of Kelantan... so clean... and traffic is so light and way better than in Johor...

This is something which you would never see in Johor... no nasty pest looming around nor unidentified funny smells...

The market in Kelantan...

So many variety of food to buy...

Kelantan is a Muslim state... but you could see people selling pork within a market frequent mostly by Muslim... I have to say that the mindset of those people in Kelantan is indeed much more tolerating than others...

You could even find cooked food stall within the wet market...

The wet market is very clean and dry... as compared to those in Singapore...

A lot of large sized fish...

The man who is sleeping most of the time while tending to his basket stall...

Could you name even half of those vegetables?

Oh my god... look at those dried fish...

My cousin buying cucumbers... as she said that they are very much cheaper than in Johor...

Our tour guide...

My sister's hand posing for the camera...

Within these houses... people rear swifts... and they are very tightly guided... so that the birdnest would not fall into the wrong hands...

The bridge leading to the border between Malaysia and Thailand...

The water that lies beneath the bridge... I cannot imagine what would happen if the bridge gives way...

The buffalo at the thai temple...

Thai temples always have those arts drawn on the walls... and they tell very interesting stories...

The very thai style...

The wordings in thai...

The fish are so beautiful...

I felt very calm just looking at the fishes swimming without a single care...

The restaurant where we had a very fulling thai lunch for just RM14 per head count... too bad we were so hungry that I forgot to take a photo before we start eating... there's fish... lemon chicken... salad... soup... oyster fried with eggs...dofu... so very tasty!!!

The so call flea market where people sells "branded" stuff from Thailand... but I do not find the things here cheap even though they are from Thailand... which is just a few steps away...

A few more shots... I only managed to get a top at RM20...

A typical example of things they have...

A cat who looks on with a cool look at all the tourists...

The bundle of kittens who doze away despite the heat in the street of the flea market...

The place is so peaceful and clean... so unlike in Johor...

The many junk food...

The carparking kiosks...

The fruits which were so cheap...

The chicken chase... haha...
*******************************************
In the end... on our way back... the weather was wet and cold... and the worst thing? The bus broke down before we reached the resting stop at YongPeng... we had to wait till about 5am before another bus came to pick us up... by the time we reached home... it was already 8am plus... so tired and sleepy that I went straight to sleep after a nice long bath... and slept through lunch... the trip was okie... but if given the choice... I would rather take the plane which is so much faster and comfortable than bus ride...

Driving is indeed fun... though I have yet to grasp the feeling to stay in the right lane... will work very hard to pick up the skill and prepare to get the license by the end of this year... Intermediate 3 for Japanese has also commenced... starting the 4 months long struggle to pass the final mark and complete Intermediate before considering to move on to advance... Ganbatte Sin Fong!!!
*******************************************
Again
YUI
Yume no tsuzuki
Oikakete ita hazu na no ni
Even though I must have been pursuing
The continuation of my dream
Magarikunetta hosoi michi
Hito ni tsumazuku
On a narrow, winding road
I trip over other people
Ano koro mitai nitte
Modoritai wake ja nai no
It’s not that I want to return to
How it was like back then
Nakushite kita sora o
Sagashiteru
I’m searching
For the sky that I’ve lost
Wakatte kuremasu you ni
I wish that you’ll understand me
Gisei ni natta you na
Kanashii kao wa yamete yo
Stop making that sad face
Like you’ve been sacrificed
Tsumi no saigo wa namida ja nai yo
Zutto kurushiku seottekun da
There aren’t tears at the end of sins
I’ve painfully bore them all this time
Deguchi mienai kanjou meiro ni
Dare o matteru no?
In the labyrinth of emotions where I can’t see the exit
Who am I waiting for?
Shiroi nooto ni tsuzutta you ni
Motto sunao ni hakidashitai yo
As if having written it in a white notebook
I want to divulge myself more honestly
Nani kara
Nogaretain da?
What
Do I want to flee from?
…Genjitsu tte yatsu?
…Something known as reality?
Kanaeru tame ni
Ikiterun da tte
So that I can fulfill myself
I’m alive
Wasurechaisou na
Yoru no mannaka
When it seems like I’ve forgotten about it
In the middle of the night
Munan ni nante
Yatterarenai kara
Because it can’t be done
Safe and sound
…Kaeru basho mo nai no
…There’s no place for me to return to, either
Kono omoi o keshite shimau ni wa
Mada jinsei nagai desho?
Isn’t life still too long
For erasing these thoughts? (I’m on the way)
Natsukashiku naru
Konna itami mo kangeijan
I even welcome such a pain
That turns nostalgic
Ayamaranakucha ikenai yo ne
ah gomen ne
I’ve got to apologize
ah, I’m sorry
Umaku ienakute
Shinpai kaketa mama datta ne
Unable to express it well
You were worried, weren’t you?
Ano hi kakaeta zenbu
Ashita kakaeru zenbu
Everything that I held back then
Everything that I’ll hold tomorrow
Junban tsuketari wa
Shinai kara
Because I won’t
Put them in order
Wakatte kuremasu you ni
I wish that you’ll understand me
Sotto me o tojitan da
Mitakunai mono made
Mien da mon
I quietly closed my eyes
I can even see
The things that I don’t want to see
Iranai uwasa ni chotto
Hajimete kiku hatsugen docchi?
I get a little annoyed at unnecessary rumors
What was the initial remark like?
Ni-kai attara tomodachi datte?
Uso wa yamete ne
If we meet twice, aren’t we friends?
So stop lying
Akai haato ga iradatsu you ni
Karada n naka moete irun da
As if my red heart is irritated
It’s burning inside of my body
Honto wa
Kitaishiten no
The truth is
I’m anticipating
…Genjitsu tte yatsu?
…Something known as reality?
Kanaeru tame ni
Ikiterun da tte
So that I can fulfill myself
I’m alive
Sakebitaku naru yo
Kikoete imasu ka?
I feel like shouting so
Can you hear me?
Munan ni nante
Yatterarenai kara
Because it can’t be done
Safe and sound
…Kaeru basho mo nai no
…There’s no place for me to return to, either
Yasashisa ni wa itsumo kanshashiteru
Dakara tsuyoku naritai
I’m always grateful for kindness
So I want to become strong (I’m on the way)
Susumu tame ni
Teki mo mikata mo kangeijan
In order to move on
I welcome friend and foe alike
Dou yatte tsugi no doa
Hirakerun dakke? Kangaeteru?
How can you open
The next door? Are you thinking about it?
Mou hikikaesenai
Monogatari hajimatterun da
I can’t pull back anymore
The story is starting
Me o samase me o samase
Wake up, wake up
Kono omoi o keshite shimau ni wa
Mada jinsei nagai desho?
Isn’t life still too long
For erasing these thoughts?
Yarinokoshiteru koto
Yarinaoshite mitai kara
I have things left to do
Because I want to try redoing them
Mou ichido yukou
Let’s go again
Kanaeru tame ni
Ikiterun da tte
So that I can fulfill myself
I’m alive
Sakebitaku naru yo
Kikoete imasu ka?
I feel like shouting so
Can you hear me?
Munan ni nante
Yatterarenai kara
Because it can’t be done
Safe and sound
…Kaeru basho mo nai no
…There’s no place for me to return to, either
Yasashisa ni wa itsumo kanshashiteru
Dakara tsuyoku naritai
I’m always grateful for kindness
So I want to become strong (I’m on the way)
Natsukashiku naru
Konna itami mo kangeijan
I even welcome such a pain
That turns nostalgic

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
