The Last Concert

Hey peeps,

Amidst the rush of finishing my dissertation, I managed to steal some time and watch Lee Seung Chul on Family Outing. He is “The Emperor of Ballads” in Korea and he sung a couple of his song on the show. I shed some tears while listening to a song called “The Last Concert” although I didn’t even understand a single word he was singing. I immediately searched for it on the net and it turned out that the song was written from the personal experience of the composer, Kim Taewon (also a singer). Basically, it is about how he was singing a confession song to a girl he liked at a concert and he did not realised that there was actually another girl who had been watching and liking him so dearly. The girl cried her heart out after watching the scene from the backstage and she ran outside.


Although some of you readers are not Korean music lovers, I request all of you to spare some time listening to this beautiful ballad and be captured in the love story atmosphere. I also include the translation of this song below..... Enjoy~ (and prepare some tissues~)

The Last Concert

Now, from the backstage,
The girl is looking over me with tears shedding in her heart.

From the backstage,
The girl sits in a little chair with her folded arms,
Gazing and listening to my song of confession, oh~

The girl becomes saddened and heartbroken
because she'd cherished me so

As my song of confession deepens,
The girl could not hold her tears and ran outside

The song has ended,
It will never be sung again, yeah~
This sorrowful song.......................

Heartbeat

Anyeong!!~~~~~^^

A couple of good things happened after I woke up which made me kicking off my day in a superbly happy mood..


Firstly,
One of my closest friends in school, Nadiah, added me on Facebook and I’m still in bliss right now because after 2 years, I finally get to keep in touch with her! The last time we met was before I flew to England and once I changed my number here, we lost contact… Many thankies to the power of Facebook~ Hee~


Secondly,
The MV for 2PM’s ‘Heartbeat’ is out!~~~ And it was EPIC! Minus the fact that Nickhun got Wooyoung’s style in ‘Dirty Eyed Girls’, other than that, it simply defines awesomeness!~ (Though I still can’t understand why must Nickhun and Junho spot the coconut tree hairstyle…and I refuse to like my Taec’s hair as well~)


I’ve been loving the song since I watch the teaser and this MV just added to it. As mentioned by fans across the world, if we turn the song around, we could see that this song is dedicated to Jaebeom who left the group a few months ago (and there’s a rumour saying that he might come back).


I love the whole dark setting of this MV and I could say that JYP Entertaiment invests a lot on these boys. My most favourite point of this song would be the powerful lyrics and how the sick choreography speaks for the song. The dance moves vividly conveyed how crazy a person could be, waiting and longing for someone important to come back. The ending of this MV is heartbreaking as you can see their souls leaving their bodies. Beside SHINee’s ‘Ring Ding Dong’ MV, this would be another ‘MV of The Year’ for me! Check it out~

Michael Jackson: The Soundtrack of My Childhood~

A quick update of an amazing thing that happened earlier today!


Went to The Works in city centre today and while browsing through the stuffs there, guess what I found??!!!!

Unseen Archives: Michael Jackson!!!!!!!!!!

I grabbed it without hesitation and started on the first page once I got on the bus. I bought it at around 3.45pm and at 7.52pm, I’m done cover to cover! ROTFL!~ A great book indeed! It covers the story of Michael Jackson since he started in Jackson 5 with his brothers till his memorial services plus a lot of accompanying pictures. Definitely a great collector’s item! For a big MJ fan like me, I’m sure that this book is going to be on my ‘Precious Items List’….


Chapter 2: Destiny Fulfilled
My favourite chapter which talks about his succes in the 80s; includes the story of his hit songs,, 'Thriller' and 'Beat It', plus the birth of Michael Jackson's moonwalk~

P/S: Gonna write more in my next post! As of now, I gotta run to Fizah’s room to steal a few bites of her lamb and chicken mixed doner!

Dissertation Progress + New Specs~

Another post for the day!

Dissertation
I’m going to use my resting time from dissertation to do all the things that I want to do because I know that starting from next week I’m gonna be as busy as bee! So here’s a short recap of my dissertation progress:

26/10/09 – 1/11/09
I stayed up almost every night trying to finish my dissertation. Caught a cold and my voice turned hoarse for a few days. My utmost academic week! LOL!~


2/11/09
Submitted the whole chapters of my dissertation to Steve (my tutor) and had a one-on-one tutorial with him. God knows how nerve-wrecking it was to have him checking my draft right before my two eyes. Luckily he loved it. There are just some minor editing that I have to do. Turned out that my number words have reached 12,047 when the maximum are only 10,000 but we’ve sorted it all out. Yay!!! Steve wants to see my complete last draft on 17/11/09 and he told me to rest a bit before resuming on my dissertation.


3/11/09 – N.O.W
I’m taking Steve’s advice and is planning to rest until next week but I have the feeling that I’m still going to continue doing my dissertation earlier, maybe tomorrow~ LOL!~ Have been going out a lot and is trying to wake up a bit later every morning but it seems that my biological clock tells me to wake up at 8 everyday.. LOL~


Saying ‘Goodbye’ to my Precious Item
If you have been following my blog, you’ll remember that something bad happened to one of my precious belongings. Wanna know what it was?


On 17/10/09, my Levi’s spectacles broke into two! Nothing serious caused it to happen. It just fell on a carpeted floor and it broke! It’s time I guess. Ajal dah sampai bak kata orang Melayu. I’ve been wearing it since before I came to England and it has been a couple of years since. It was heartbreaking for me because my spectacle is like my life. My eyesight is terrible that I need to wear it all the time except for when I’m in the shower or sleeping. It was my most favourite one among all the specs that I’ve worn since I was 9 because it fits perfectly fine and it’s Levi’s for goodness sake! It costs RM1400 (although my Abah paid for it..lol~) and now it’s broken!!! I know it sounds ridiculous but I was so emotional over it!


I had to make 3 appointments for checkups and making a new spectacle. I’ve only managed to get a new on 3/11/09 and wonder how I survived almost 3 weeks with a broken specs? Super glue!!! This might be surprising to some of my classmates who didn’t notice, but I’ve been wearing my broken specs which was attached together by the power super glue!! LOL!~ Can’t believe it? Here goes!


So I got my new specs and I decided to get a pair of contact lenses as well since it would helpful if my specs are ever going to break again! LOL!~ My first opinion of wearing contact lenses… my face feels naked! I’ve been wearing specs for 13 years and it has already been like an accessory to my face. So my face without it looks weird. I can’t even recognize myself at first! ROTFL!~ I’ve made a decision since then: Wearing contact lenses means more make-ups! Off to M.A.C.!!!!! Hehehe~ (Love it when there’s an excuse for me to go shopping!)

Looking at the world through different eyes~ lol~


My new specs~


Sporting my new specs~


Those were the days~



Goodbye darling~ T_T


P/S: I'm talking to my sis right now, and I just found out that she has been wearing specs since February! Tak bagi tau pon... Bertuah betol!
