.........

There are moments when you feel so lost and start to breakdown gradually and when all you want to do is to shout and cry aloud like nobody's business...This is the kind of moment I am currently facing....

" Attraversiamo "

Dear All,

Currently,the Monday morning weather is fair..but the environment here is NOISY..some construction and renovation works at the second floor of my block..Bing Bang Bong..sigh..

So here I am.."enjoying" all the extra sounds and scenery over a cup of Tenom Cafe Latte..I am not an avid coffee drinker but I felt the need to have one this morning..Another heart-breaking shock of my life when I discovered that I have lost the whole folder of my Bossanovas and Jazz collections..I must have deleted it by accident without noticing it while transferring some other files into my portable hard disk..I swear I could have smack myself hard for being such a klutz!!! *cries*

Sorry..I shall continue to mourn my loss later..Lets get back to today's post for now..

Went to watch the movie " Eat , Pray , Love " yesterday and I found myself enjoying the show very much..

Based on the best-selling memoir of the similar title by Elizabeth Gilbert, this movie is about a woman who finds herself in the middle of a failed marriage and a fail relationship,thus embark on a journey in search of her spiritual faith and herself.

Portrayed by the ever beautiful Julia Roberts, we followed the travels of the author across the world ( Italy, India and Bali ) meeting different kinds of people and experience different kinds of culture..As we walk along with her, we are able to see the transformation of a lost distraught woman into a stronger one.

This movie if not the book is indeed an inspirational one..It makes you think..it makes you realise that life is more than what you think it is..it makes you feel connected and there are some scene in which you can relate yourself to that of what the author have went through..

There are quite a number of thought provoking quotes throughout the show and one of my favourite * Warning: Spoiler here * goes like this :

"Do not look at the world through your head, look at it through your heart."- Ketut Liyer

Well,I would like to share more of the movie but I wouldn't want to spoil it for you so watch it for yourself and do tell me what do you think of it.. :)



Well,that's all for now I guess...till then,take care and have a nice week ahead...now I shall continue to mourn my loss...sob..my poor collection of bossanovas jazz...why o why... \(T_T)/

See you later...alligator..

Yours Mourning,

From Me to You Pt.4

我活了.. 我愛了.. 我都不管了

心愛到瘋了.. 恨到酸了..就好了

風箏有風 , 海豚有海

我存在在..我的存在

所以不再為愛而愛..

自己存在 在你之外...

分手快乐...你走了....可是我会继续好好的过日子

一个人的 孤单是没什么了不起.....[end]


Yours,

Chang Er and Me

Dear All,

Hows things going for you guys? I hope that it is better than my current situation dealing with water supply crisis at the campus hostel which I am getting really tired and annoyed with..Just hoping to get a suitable place to move out as soon as possible..*sigh*.. Should have done that earlier.. :/

Anyway..

Last Wednesday was the Mid- Autumn celebration or commonly known as the " Mooncake Festival " where people indulge in the sinfully delicious calories packed Diabetes causing pastry and small children played with fire by burning lighting up candles and lanterns..

So in accordance to the festival, my class decided to have our very first own cohort celebration since most of us are away from home and it is a good chance to share this wonderful culture with our non-chinese classmates..:)

Name of Event : Mooncake Festival a.k.a Cohort 2 Lighting Sessions ( WTF..LoL)
Date : 22nd Sept 2010
Venue : Taman Jaya , PJ

.......I am feeling lazy to type any more further details........

So,

Rantings of a Homesick Crybaby

Dear All,

Hope that you're doing well over there..
Looks like it is raining over here again..Owh well,it is the rainy season all over again..

Anyway,I have just reached PJ yesterday..Somehow still feeling slightly homesick..Almost burst into tears yesterday when I saw a little girl bidding farewell to her big sister on the bus..This kind of scene never fail to wrench and touch my heart.. :x ( I know I'm a crybaby~)

Woke up this morning with a sore Trapz muscles though...all the room and toilet cleaning ( One month worth of dust and dirt) and luggage hauling ( from Bukit Jalil to PJ ).. I am not surprised..>< .. ouchie~

The next trip home would be on Christmas itself..Sob..Still a long way to go..

Oritey, I shall end my entry with a particular song from the animated movie " Bolt "...LOL.. Yeah, I watched it with my sis at home and we both loved it~

BARKING AT THE MOON By JENNY LEWIS ( From BOLT OST)

( Can't seemed to find any videos that is embedded enabled so I guess you guys have to click on the link above instead to listen to this song..sorry for the inconvenience :x)

LYRICS :

I have got so much to give, I swear I do.
I may not have nine lives, this one feels brand new.
Yes I've lived a good one.
I have tried to be true.
There are some things I never realized, till I met you.
How the wind feels on my cheeks, when I'm barking at the moon.

[chorus]
There is no home like the one you've got, cuz that home belongs to you.
Woo Woo! Here I come.
Woo Woo! Back to you.
There is no home like the one you've got, cuz that home belongs to you.

Well I was in trouble, bad.
I was so confused.
I may not see in color babe, but I sure can feel blue.
I have been a lot of things, they may not all be true.
My experience was so mysterious, till I met you.
Now the sun may rise in the east, but I'm barking at the moon.

[Chorus]
There is no home like the one you've got, cuz that home belongs to you.
Woo Woo! Here I come.
Woo Woo! Back to you.
There is no home like the one you've got, cuz that home belongs to you.

There is no home like the one you've got, cuz that home belongs to you.

There is no home like the one you've got, cuz that home belongs to you...

[end]


Till then,hope you guys enjoy the song and have a nice day ahead :)

Yours Truly,

KODOKU NO KAKERA ( Fragments of Loneliness ) by ANGELA AKI




LYRICS:

Kanji Lyrics :

Tokei no hari ga niji wo sashite
Konya mo nemurenu yoru ga kita
Koi no hitotsu ushinattemo
Douyou suru koto wa nakatta
Ima made nara tameiki wo tsuite
Kako ni fukitobashite ita

Ai shikata ga wakaranai dake ja naku
Hito wo shinjiru koto ga dekinai mama
Tada jikan dake ga sugite yuku
Watashi wo okizari ni shite

Kanashimi ga atte hitori ni natte
Kodoku no kakera wo mune ni daite
Anata ni deatte hajimete kizuita
Shiawase ga aru koto wo

Ame ni nurete tatta ichido
Futari ga musubareta ano yoru
Kakaeta itami mo subete wasurete
Shoujiki ni naretan da

Tsugunau koto wa imasara dekinai kedo
Akirameru ni wa mada hayai ki ga suru
Dekaketa kotoba wo nomikonde wa
Mata anata ni se wo muketa

Yasashisa ga atte nukumori ga atte
Kodoku wa sukoshi zutsu tokete yuku no
Uragiri ga atte sore demo shinjitai
Shiawase ga aru koto wo

Tsuyogarazu anata ni tsutaeru kara
Kondo wa kaeranaide

Kanashimi ga atte hitori ni natte
Kodoku no kakera wo mune ni daite
Namida wo nagashite jibun wo yurushite
Kodoku no kakera wo tebanashitara
Ashita wa waratte anata wo ai shite
Shiawase wo kanjiyou
Shiawase ni nareru kara

English Translation :

The hands of the clock point to two
Tonight's another sleepless night
I lost my one love but it didn't upset me so far
So I just deeply sigh and let the past go

It's not that I don't understand the one I loved
I just couldn't place faith in anyone around me
Time just keeps passing
Leaving me behind

When I became sad, When it was just me alone
I would hold the fragments of loneliness close to my heart
When I first met you, I realized for the first time
That there was such a thing as happiness

Just once,while I was soaking in the rain
I connected with you and forgot all my pain
Forget about everything and I could finally be honest

Even though it's too late to make up for things
But I feel like it's too soon to give up
But as you turn your back to leave,
I swallowed my words

When I felt your warmth and received your kindness
The loneliness started to fade,little by little
Even though I've been betrayed, I want to believe
That there is still happiness for me

I found the courage to tell you
That this time you wouldn't have to come back to me

When I became sad, When it was just me alone
I would hold the fragments of loneliness close to my heart
As I shed my tears and forgave myself
I let go of the fragments of loneliness
Tomorrow I'll smile and love you
I'll feel the happiness
Because there is happiness for me

[END]

Lots of Love and Hugs ,

Your other self

Another End

This is something to serve as a final reminder to myself..
A moment to remember: 28/8/10 ; 7.30 pm ..
Where it all ends .. not that this is my first but sometimes a wound cut too deep can be hard to cure..
Then again, I know I will be fine.. It is better to let one to take all the pain rather than both side.. and if that's the case,let me be the one..

To who it may concern,I hope that you are really happy now..

ARE YOU HAPPY NOW BY MICHELLE BRANCH




LYRICS:

Now,
don't just walk away
pretending everything's okay and you don't care about me.
And I
know it's just no use.
When all your lies become your truths and I don't care.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(chorus)
Could you look me in the eye,
and tell me that you're happy now.
Oooh.
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

You
took all there was to take,
and left me with an empty plate and you don't care about it, yeah.
And I
am giving up this game,
and leaving you with all the blame, cause I don't care.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

(chorus)
Could you look me in the eye,
and tell me that you're happy now oooh.
Would you tell it to my face or have I been erased,
Are you happy now?
Oooh.
Are you happy now?

Yeah, yeah.
Do you really have everything you want.
You could never give something you ain't got,
you can't run away from yourself.

Could you look me in the eye,
and tell me that you're happy now.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on tell it to my face or have I been replaced,
are you happy now?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ohh, ohh.
Yeah.
ohh oh.
Would you look me in the eye,
could you look me in the eye.
I've had all that i can take i'm not about to break cause I'm happy now.
Oooh.

Are you happy now?


.....and I really hope that you are so my sacrifice will not go in vain.


Yours ,

Chris C
