Long Read - What's the trend nowadays?

Busy weekends Busy Busy Busy!!

Now, what happened during the last few days.. Hmm..

Nigel's birthday lunch on Friday, contractor came down for toilet doors measurement (Finally!), surprise birthday cake at Vivocity for Isabella which didn't really turn out to be a surprise and finally Sakura Buffet with family on Sunday. Meeting a twitter
friend for dinner on the coming Tuesday (at last!), Ah Girl's birthday dinner on this coming Friday and farewell lunch for our Intern the following Friday. Phew that's quite a lot of list, for me at least!

Did some window-shopping earlier and we went to Kiddy Palace. There's plush toys loads of them.. Childrens' wear.. Toys.. Toys.. Toys.. It's Kiddy Palace! What do you expect to find there? Obviously everything that's related to a kiddy..! I'm so attracted to the plush toys, as usual.. And baby boys' clothing.. It's so adorable to see and touch all these small shirts, mittens, shoes and newborn's clothing..

Enough of all that. Update on what's being the current crazy thing nowadays.. It's the Oppa Gangnam!! Hahaha! I'm sure in 5 or 10 years down the road, we'll still be enjoying this funny (can I classify it as that?) music video done by Psy, a Korean celebrity.

There's been a few video parodies made for this craze for Oppa Gangnam.. Come on! Even Ellen DeGeneres and Britney Spears knew about it Britney even learnt the dance steps taught by none other than Psy! Out of the few parodies, I really like the one made by a local man. It's funny and the words are catchy.

"Go Rex Theatre
Maybe later
Can go eat
Can go eat
Eat Briyani
With a lot of curry
Buy CD
Smoke Beedi"

P.s. How do I create links here.. Tried several times to add/create links to youtube but it simply doesn't work. The link magically disappear though I click on the Link button :(

Update: It's 2019 and I have since learnt how to embed the videos onto my post

The Oppa Indian style video is no longer available on Youtube.

Quick Update - Meri Mehbooba

Kisi roz tumse mulaaqaat hogi...
Some day I will meet you...

Meri jaan us din mere saath hogi
My love, from that day forth, you will be with me.

Magar kab na jaane yeh barsaat hogi
But who knows when you'll shower down your love;

Mera dil hai pyaasa mera dil akela
my heart is thirsty, my lonely heart!

Zaraa tasvir se tu nikalke saamne aa
Just step out from the picture (in my mind) and come before me!

Meri mehbooba
My love

Meri taqdir hai tu machalke saamne aa
You're my fate; fight out (of the picture) and come before me!

Meri maehbooba...
My love...

Zaraa tasvir se tu nikalke saamne aa
Step out from the picture (in my mind) and come before me!

Meri mehbooba
My love

Nahin yaad kabse magar main huun jabse
I don't even remember since when, perhaps as long as I've existed,

Mere dil mein teri muhabbat hai tabse
I have loved you.

Main shaayar huun tera tu meri ghazal hai
I'm your poet, and you are my poem.

Bari beqaraari mujhe aajkal hai...
Lately, I'm restless with longing for you.

Zaraa tasvir se tu nikalke saamne aa
Just step out from the picture (in my mind) and come before me!

Meri mrhboobaa...
My love...

Zaraa tasvir se tu nikalke saamne aa
Just step out from the picture (in my mind) and come before me!

Meri mehbooba
My love

Jaane kahaan se lo aa gayi hai voh
Who knows where she's come from!

Bhalaa kaun hai voh hamein bhi bataao
No matter who she is, just tell me!

Yeh tasvir uski hamein bhi dikhaao
At least show me this picture of her!

Ye qisse sabhi ko sunaate nahin hai
This story shouldn't be told to just everyone,

Magar doston se chhupaate nahin hai
But you can't hide it from friends!

Tere dard-e-dil ki davaa ham karenge
I'll cure the pain in your heart;

Na kuchh kar sakein to duaa ham karenge...
If I can't do anything, then I'll pray for you!

Tarapkar aayegi voh tujhe mil jaayegi voh
She'll struggle out (of the picture) and come; you'll meet her,

Teri mehbooba
your love!

Kisi roz tumse mulaaqaat hogi...
Some day I will meet you...

Meri jaan us din mere saath hogi
My love, from that day forth, you will be with me.

Magar kab na jaane yeh barsaat hogi
But who knows when you'll shower your love upon me;

Mera dil hai pyaasa mera dil akela
my heart is thirsty, my lonely heart!

Zaraa tasvir se tu nikalke saamne aa
Just step out from the picture (in my mind) and come before me!

Meri mehbooba...
My love

Long Read - He who needs no introduction

Update: This post went up in 2012. 

Since I am still very much into Salman Khan still, I shall find time to one day write a proper post on him. I think I have before but I can always write another one. Because just one post on Salman is not enough. Just like how I just can't get enough of him. 

Long Read - Cinderella here still waiting for her Prince Charming

The clock struck 12 and yet I'm still not asleep.

I was supposed to write a blogpost tonight remembering my days as students in Ngee Ann Poly especially the still-strong memories of having to lug my laptop around in those days. You see we didn't have internet connection when I just started Poly. I'll remember to write about it in another post some day.

LOL. I just can't stop this obsession of mine, can I? Growing up watching Hindi films and later found him good-looking, started reading up on him, followed his news through out the years and yet, I'm still so very in love with him. I hope just one day when I finally found the person I'm meant to be with, the love will be the same as what I'm feeling for Salman Khan. The always there love..

Long Read - I don't know why but I'm feeling as if I'm in love

12.34am on a weekday. I should have been asleep by now going by how I was so sleepy earlier. Youtube-d a few songs and ended with AXL - Akulah Kekasihmu. This song is still playing in the background as I'm typing this post. Poor song has been on loop for 5 times now.

I was listening to the song and each words of it...

Itukah dia kekasih yang pernah berjanji
Memberi cinta untukmu sepenuh hati
Ia akan menyesal suatu hari nanti
Apabila ia mengetahui
Kekasihmu ini ingin kembali

Tahukah engkau ia tak sepadan denganmu
Walau beribu bisik janji ia merayu
Kekasihmu ini terlalu ingin kembali
Semenjak ia mengetahui
Kekasihmu itu membuat kau bersedih

Oh kekasihmu ini akan merasa gembira
Andai dapat bersama untuk selama-lamanya
Hanya untuk menyayangimu
Hanya untuk bercinta lagi
Andai engkau berduka
Aku yang pertama di sisi
Andai engkau bahagia
Akukan terus berdoa
Semoga suatu masa
Pintu hatimu kan terbuka
Dan kita akan kembali
Bercinta lagi

Aku akan kembali
Walau jalan berliku
Kernaku kekasihmu
Hingga ke akhir hayat

(Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/axls/akulah_kekasih_mu.html)

Those words in bold left quite a deep impression on my mind and my heart and it makes me slightly emotional. Tiba-tiba aku bayangkan betapa indahnya kata-kata ini jika diucapkan sang kakasih hati. Bayangkan si dia mengatakan kepada diri ini bagaimana dia akan sanggup untuk bersusah payah untuk bersama selama-lamanya.. Kan so sweet gitu..!

I am fully aware that this full song has the meaning that the lover is still wishing to be with someone they love though the other party may have found someone else. So what I have describe in the sentence above refers to only part of the song that are in bold.

I do not know why but hearing the words over and over again it is as though I am in love. Sometimes I wonder myself why certain songs like Don't Speak, No Doubt or Someone Like You, Adele can have a deep impression on me as if I have gone through the heartbreak and all. Luckily for me I am still spared the heartbreaking experience..

I wonder when I will ever meet you....Will there ever be a chance of us meeting on the street as what I had secretly wish for. Just like a scene from a book or the film where we might just bump into each other and the next thing you know we are madly in love with one another...

Keeping the hope that one day maybe one day we might meet..
