Guys: Top 10 Ways To Know You're In Love

I found this from ...Because We're Girls.

10. You've forgotten your ex
9. You can't stop thinking about her
8. You care about her
7. You find her quirks charming
6. You have great chemistry
5. You don't notice other women as much
4. You love spending time with her
3. You don't mind compromising sometimes
2. Other priorities take a back seat
1. You start thinking about the future and she's in it


10. I'm sure he's forgotten about them. Even though he sometimes talks about them, at least it was in a careless manner.
5. I hope not or I will have to blind him with forks. Like Kassim Selamat.
3. That's why I kept quiet most of the time and let him win. Even if it will prompt him to tease me more about me being speechless etc.
1. A house with a swimming pool, right? Haha.

Conclusion:
Yay! He loves me! =)

I mean, I know that already. But it's nice to read the signs to confirm it. And maybe it'll help you people out there to see if you or your guy is in love? Heh.

Japanese Songs

I was browsing through my Gmail account today (yes, I was that bored) and I stumbled upon one of my very first few e-mails. It was from Rasyiq. Dated nearly a year ago. Exactly on Valentine's Day. I didn't even realise he sent it on Valentine's till today. Yes, I'm that blur sometimes. But maybe it was a coincidence? I don't know.

He gave me the lyric to Life Is Like A Boat by Rie Fu. It's from the famous Japanese anime, Bleach. I've never watched it cause well, who would want to watch something called Bleach anyway. I fell in love with the song the very first time I heard it. The song is played at the first ending theme.


Here's the lyric and translation.

Life Is Like A Boat
Rie Fu

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along
Who’s gonna comfort me and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can’t escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

tooku de iki o shiteru toomei ni natta mitai
(Each breath escaping my body becomes transparent and goes far away)
kurayami ni omoe dakedo mekaku shisareteta dake
(And even when I think everything’s dark, I’m only blindfolded)

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
(Offering a prayer, I wait for a new day to come)
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made
(Until the reflection of the sunrise sparkling on the sea disappears completely)

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don’t give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me and keep me strong

hito no kokoro wa utsuriyuku mukedashiteku naru
(People’s hearts are constantly changing, peeling away fresh layers)
tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de mune o tsureteku
(with each new phase of the moon)

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I’d feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong

tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku odayakana hi mo

(And still, the journey goes on, even on these calm days)
tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de mune o terashidasu
(And still, each new phase of the moon reflects its light onto my heart)

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu

(Offering a prayer, I wait for a new day to come)
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made
(Until the reflection of the sunrise sparkling on the sea disappears completely)

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

unmei no hune o ko gi nami wa tsugi kara tsugi e to

(We are all rowing the boat of fate)
watashi-tachi o shou kedo

(The waves keep on coming and we can’t escape)

sore mo suteki na tabi ne

(Even that is a beautiful journey)

dore mo suteki na tabi ne
(Even anything is a beautiful journey)

Isn't it just so beautiful? I just love Japanese songs. They sure can write meaningful and beautiful lyrics. Like Mirai e by Kiroro. Take this for an example. It's actually in Japanese though.

Bit by bit my heart is charmed
With that dazzling smile
Let's flee from the endless darkness, hold my hand

You see, when I met you
I remembered the view which I had treasured when I was a child
Won't you dance with me?
It's a winding road of light and shadows
Even now, you're dreaming of him?
There are times when it seemed like I wanted to turn back but
Holding love, courage, and pride, I shall fight

Bit by bit my heart is charmed
A piece of hope in this world
Anyone surely wants to have eternity in his hands
Even if you pretend not to mind at all
Hey I love you
Let's flee from the endless darkness, I’ll hold your hand

I also like you, even with that face, tired from anger
I wonder if it's all right to live such a life, being blown away
As for me... I'm just spun around by casual gestures sea side blue
Or are you still dreaming of him
I had something more I wish to ask but
Our conversation just goes on like the sound of car wheels dancing around

Bit by bit my heart is charmed
It's amazing even to myself but
Something is there I suddenly feel like calling you

Even if you pretend not to mind at all

In the end all I see is you
Let's flee towards the sea, hold my hand

That's actually from DragonBall GT... The music was so catchy that I never thought it was a love song.

Do you have a favourite Japanase song?

You Got Served


Have you watched this movie? I know it's so two years ago but I just have to review it simply because it was dreadful. Except fot the dance moves. And also I have nothing better to do.

Watching it was such a painful, unpleasant experience! I was watching it last night because my cousin lent us the DVD. He told us to check out the dancing.



The dancing was awesome! The camera angles and transitions for those dance scenes were not bad. But unfortunately, that's the ONLY good thing about this movie...

The acting was crappy and stiff. Omarion B2K cannot act for shit. All of them cannot act! When you watch them, all you can do is cringe. It was awful. That Liyah girl was terrible. And what's with that stupid eyeliner on the bottom of her eyes?! It was the most distracting thing ever! And I was disgusted with her character. In the movie, she went out on a date with David (Omarion).



She switched off his phone because she wanted him to concentrate on her. "You're with your boys every day. But when you're with me, you're all mine." Like WTF?! It was so selfish of her I just gaped at the screen. Her brother got beaten up because Omarion wasn't there to help him. The best acting was probably done by the woman who played the grandma of Liyah.

Continuities are EVERWHERE! Nearly every time the camera changes angle, there're continuities. Gah! It was very, very distracting. I felt like dying half way through the movie.

And the transitions! Oh man. There were so many abrupt cutting to the next scene, which were off putting. But when it comes to the dancing scenes, they were fine. I think this is because the director usually directs music videos. Directing and the editing of music videos and movies are VERY DIFFERENT. Right, my fellow media students?

The direction was all plain horrible lah
l. I mean, come on. It was so friggin' cheesy when they slo-mo the kiss between Omarion and his girl while her brother just looked on, grinning. I was practically knocking my head on the wall, moaning.

And then, and then there's the Plot. Blah! I don't want to talk about it. It's just stupid, silly and stupid, stupid, stupid. And the scriptwriter for this movie should be hit with a frying pan for writng such a weak script.

And Lil Kim at the end of the movie. O my gawddd... Her breasts were also distracting. It was like sagging! I have no idea why she goes prancing about in those kind of outfits.



Only, ONLY watch this movie for the dance moves. Or if you like Wade Robson, who appeared at the end of the movie.



You can skip the rest. It's not worth watching the acting or lack thereof and sucky dialogue.

Only one thing I can say, I certainly got served watching this movie.

All The Pretty Colours

I was watching the many firework displays from my bedroom window. It was all so pretty. All the reds and greens. Yellows and blues. Lighting up the horizon.

Amidst all that, I saw your plane climbed up and up, gaining altitude. It was so sad. All the little lights didn’t seem so pretty anymore.

I'm already missing you.

Kuching International Airport

Rasyiq's whole family, except for Rafie, went to KL this evening. Since I have nothing better to do, other than cherishing the last few moments with Syiq, I took a few pictures of the Kuching International Airport (KIA).

The airport is still in renovation. It looks like Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) now. So, for example you're going to KL from Kuching, when you arrive in KLIA, you'll wonder "Did the plane flew back to Kuching?!" Ok fine. I know you people are not stupid enough to think that.


Top floor.


I was quick enough to shoot this while he's walking towards me. But see the background. Looks SO familiar, right?


Miri Airport also followed KLIA's design. But the difference between Miri Airport and KIA, KIA have three stories and Miri only have two! Ok, I know that's stupidly obvious but I ain't an architect. I know that KIA is prettier and cleaner than Miri Airport though. Even though it's not yet completed, at least it's not infested with flies. Like in Miri!


Kuching International Airport in the evening.

I don't know why they want to standardize the airports. Sure, KLIA looks pretty cool, neat, awesome etc. But so what? Why can't our Sarawak airports be more like... like... like Sarawak lah!

Come to Sarawak. A Place Like No Other... except for the airports...

Okay, I tak sempat take more pictures of the airport because I was busy doing other things.




The sun was on our face but the lighting was so nice! It's totally worth it trying hard not to squint. Anything for a good picture! =)




When Rafie saw the picture above, he said that he looked like a Versace model. He was wearing a Versace shirt.
Me: =|


He looks like that but he actually loves the camera!


Rafie's watch. Have no idea why he took this.


I look like a head on a stick!!! Gotta gain more weight...

Syiq's family finally arrived at 7.00 PM. Their flight was at 7.45 PM. We all said our goodbyes. After nearly two hours at the airport, I finally went home.

P.S: Just in case if Rafie stumbles upon my blog. Rafie, if you see this, I hope you don't mind me putting your pictures here.. =P

How Are You In Love?

Ok. Usually I don't do this but I was bored. Heh.

It's interesting because I find that it's so lah true.

How You Are In Love

You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.

You tend to take more than give in relationships.

You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time.

You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.

You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.

My Hair

Azee managed to persuade me to cut my hair yesterday. She insisted that I have fringe. Because I look boring, she reasoned. Why thank you, dear sister. I finally relented. She was so persistent. How can I refuse.

Damn my weakness.

Nevertheless, I was still doubtful and reluctant. I was actually horrified the whole time the hairdresser cut Azee's hair. Her long locks... I kept moaning while Azee has this "Who gives a fuck? Really?" look.

When it was my turn, I occasionally winced. I TRIED to keep a straight face. Like I'm hell cool with it. Seeing this, the hairdresser kept reassuring me and showed me how little she is cutting off. Haha. She was so understanding.

BEFORE

AFTER


No difference, I hear you say. That's the whole point! I was so relieved that the hairdresser recommended that I shouldn't have fringe. So I asked her to just trim my hair. Have to be wary of stupid split ends, you know!

Actually, sengaja want to put my picture here. I feel that my blog lacks it. Previous entry full of beautiful Asians. I also want. It IS my blog, after all...
