I Know...

... that i had been really busy with my work lately. It's mainly due to the fact that my holding company in Singapore is going to get listed in Singapore Exchange soon... and yes, much work needs to be done.

Anyways, i'm still pretty much alive and well here. Had been heading out to the gym quite often recently (since it's free). I guess i'm kinda fed up with my "out of shape" body. I need to get ripped!

No, i don't want to be like this dude...

Arnold Schwarzenegger

That body is just too much... besides, i never intended to build my body. Just keeping it lean will do... like this...

TaeYang

Haha...

Probably it's a bit too far fetched for me... but oh well, no harm having a dream body right? Never too late to start though...

Despite being busy, I managed to get my hands on G.Na's latest album "Black & White". I tell you, i'm loving it! Bought the entire album off itunes...

G.NA - Black & White

My favorite song is definitely track # 2 이제 그만 화 풀어요 (Don't Be Mad Anymore) Check it out yourself!

이제 그만 화 풀어요

마음에도 없는 말로 싸우고 토라지고

화내도 내 마음 알잖아

좀 더 사랑해달란

그 말 말 말 말 말

따뜻한 말 한마디 달콤한 네 키스 한 번

그걸로 충분해

그 사랑만큼 보여달란

그 말 말 말 말 말

헤어지잔 거짓말 진심 아닌 투정에

아파했었다면

미안해요 난 그대뿐이죠

그대 이제 그만 화 풀어 풀어 풀어요

처음 그날처럼 내 이름 불러 불러요

입 맞추던 떨림 그대로 대로 그대로

다투기엔 사랑할 시간도 부족해

화 풀어요 (화 풀어요) 화 풀어요

그대 그대 화 풀어요 화 풀어요

가끔은 우리 사이 멀어지고 바쁘고

싫증이 난대도

이 사랑만큼 영원하단

그 말 말 말 말 말

네가 싫단 거짓말

차가운 내 말들에

아파했었다면

미안해요 난 그대뿐이죠

그대 이제 그만 화 풀어 풀어 풀어요

처음 그날처럼 내 이름 불러 불러요

입 맞추던 떨림 그대로 대로 그대로

다투기엔 사랑할 시간도 부족해 화 풀어요

사랑해 (사랑해) 미안해 또 고마워

사랑하면 더 많이 해야 할 말 (해야 할 말)

늘 지금처럼 사랑해 사랑 사랑해

그대 함께라면 매일 매일이 꿈같죠

두근대는 설렘 이대로 대로 이대로

내 삶 속에 주인공은 그대뿐이죠

사랑해요 (사랑해요) 사랑해요

그대 그대 사랑해요

우리 사랑해요

I think I need to get a few more hard disk to backup all my precious originals. Though i really prefer the physical CD's and DVD's... but i guess digital originals are the "in" thing now. Besides, it's much more convenient in terms of storage and less the fuss of going to the stores to buy it.

Till then, 다녀오세요!

소녀시대 - Complete

In my opinion, this is possibly one of 소녀시대's best song.

Complete

눈부신 계절 가득히 향기로운 거릴 지나

조심스런 내 발걸음 두근거려

저기 멀리 날 향해 웃는 그대 모습 가까워지면

세상 모든 행복이 다 내 것 같아

늦은 오후 햇살에 문득 잠에서 깨 그대 모르게 웃었죠

아직도 먼 미래의 일이겠지만 그 땐 꿈이 아니길

Just one love 우리 둘이 걸어가는 길이 같기를 바래요

Good morning 매일 아침엔 날 깨우는 그대의 전화

마치 우리 함께 맞는 아침 같아

영화처럼 건네준 예쁜 사탕보다 더욱 달콤한 그대죠

많은 시간을 따라 변하겠지만 두 손 놓지 않기를

Just For love 영원토록 마지막일 사랑 그대길 바래요

너무나 소중한걸요 그대의 사랑이

Oh It's true 오직 서로만 보며 그대 곁에 있고 싶어

많은 시간 속에 변하겠지만 두 손 놓지 않기를

Just for love 영원토록 마지막일 사랑 그대길 바래요

To make my life complete

You make my life complete

그래 소녀시대, 내 삶이 완료 만든 ! ㅎㅎㅎ... ^^

TaeYeon is amazing!

OMG... TaeYeon rocks!!! What amazing voice she possesses! Check out this song titled "Mistake" from SNSD's album "Hoot".

Mistake

난 아직 제자리죠

여전히 그대 곁에서

헤매이다 지쳐서

오늘도 그댈 맴돌다

하루 또 하루 흘러 흘러서

여기까지 온거죠

알면서 아픈 내 맘 알면서도

웃는 그대가 날 더 아프게 하죠

나를 더 사랑하게 만들지 못한

내 잘못이죠

내가 더 사랑해서 만들어버린

내 잘못이죠

내 마음만큼 나를 더

사랑하게 하지 못했었던 거였죠

내 잘못이죠

얼마나 더 많은 시간을

눈물을 흘려야 하나요

그 약속만을 믿으며

기다려 달라던 거짓말

이제 속았던 내 욕심도

지쳐 버리고 만거죠

알면서 아픈 내 맘 다 알면서

그렇게 모른 척 웃을 순 없잖아요

나를 더 사랑하게 만들지 못한

내 잘못이죠

내가 더 사랑해서 만들어버린

내 잘못이죠

내 마음만큼 나를 더

사랑하게 하지 못했었던 거였죠

내 잘못이죠

가질 수 없는걸 알면서

멋대로 커진 내 마음이

혼자서 기다리다가

혼자서 후회하다가

사랑한 것도 잘못이네요

아픈 줄 알면서도 잊지를 못한

내 잘못이죠

(내가 참 바보 같죠)

다칠 껄 알면서도 비우지 못한

내 잘못이죠

(모든 게 내 탓이래도)

그래도 괜찮아요 그대만 있다면

언제까지나

이런 날 용서해줘요

그댈 사랑한 날

Bear in mind that this is performed live. They just performed wonderfully!

I want to see them LIVE!

5 월 2011

Just when i thought that i'm going to be celebrating this year's birthday all alone, my colleagues here in Hanoi threw me a small party. I felt really touched. It did made me feel more at home here. At least there is a sense of "belonging" where all the people you know is superbly friendly and will treat you with respect.

No forgetting my family and friends all the way back in M'sia, thanks for all the wishes on Facebook. Though you all might not physically be here with me, but your wishes can be felt all the way in Hanoi. Thanks everyone for making my 2011 birthday a really special one.

Bebe Mignon

I wanted to blog about this some time back when i first stumbled across this fantastic trio. Ben, Ga Eul, and Han Geum, they are non other than, Bebe Mignon!

This 3 young ladies can really sing especially Ben, the powerhouse of the group. They are also known as the female version of 4men who are very famous in South Korea for their ballads.

This got me thinking, Koreans are really naturals in singing ballads. Another group we should take note of is Davichi. Will blog about them later on. As for now, check out the vid below. It's my favorite song by Bebe Mignon.

키도 작고, 예쁘지 않지만

Verse 1:

이렇게좋은날무얼하나요

내생각가끔은하나요

곁에만있어도좋았던사람

다시그품에안겨봤으면

Pre-chorus:

나는키도작고예쁘지않지만

오빠사랑은날가장예쁘고빛나게해줬어

Chorus:

오빠의맑은눈을따스한손을

난기억해요돌아갈순없겠죠

가슴이사랑해요사랑한다고말해보지만

오늘도돌아서요바보처럼

Verse 2:

어쩔수어쩔수없는거라면

그래요이건어때요

차라리사랑한적없었던것처럼

그냥아는오빠동생사이는

Pre-chorus:

나는키도작고예쁘지않지만

오빠사랑은날가장예쁘고빛나게했어

Chorus:

오빠의맑은눈을따스한손을

난기억해요돌아갈순없겠죠

가슴이사랑해요사랑한다고말해보지만

오늘도돌아서요바보처럼

Bridge & end:

하루도나없이는안될것같아그랬잖아요

모두나때문에참는다고

나때문에사는거라고

눈뜰때도잠이들때도

오직나만사랑한다고요

Day 18

It's the 18th day i'm in Hanoi, Vietnam. So far so good i guess... My local colleagues are exceptionally nice and funny. A nice bunch to hang with. Though sometimes there might be some misunderstandings because of language barrier... nonetheless they are still very helpful.

So far, there's really nothing much to complain about other than the ridiculously chaotic traffic and terrible air pollution. Initially, i tot it was fog... only to realize later that it's smog! Goodness!

This city is raided with motorcycles...

Madness... You need balls to be a police here.

Many have asked me the same question over and over, "Ain't you afraid being alone in a foreign country?" Well, being alone in a foreign country is not as bad as many have thought.

It's really a good experience and opportunity to learn about a new culture, lifestyle and even language. Instead of being confined in our comfort zone, why not venture out to see this great big world? There's just so much to see and learn.

I admit that at times i do feel lonely and definitely miss my family and friends back in M'sia, but hey... that's where technology comes into play to bridge that "distance" gap! There's Skype, MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger, Whatsapp (for smartphones) and many more programs and applications to keep our contacts in touch.

Ain't technology wonderful?

=)

Anyways, deep in my heart, I believe that God is the one who opened the door and gave me this opportunity. Hence, I will walk tall, talk bravely and work hard without any fears... cause i know that God is with me always...

No fear!

-Peace out-

I'm back...

It's been 4 and a half months since i disappeared. Frankly speaking, a lot of things happened and i didn't get much inspiration to blog about anything. Other than that, i had been very busy with my work in office. Had a lot of things to clear off before i resigned.

FYI, i'm now in Hanoi!

You heard me... i'm in Hanoi, Vietnam!

Flag of Vietnam

Had been here for 2 weeks.

Brand new office, brand new colleagues, brand new environment... i guess it'll be a brand new start for me.

So yeah, I will be blogging here more often now as i now have MUCH more time.

Stay tune~!
