我再不用把别人寻找 因为我已经找到

It has been quite some time that a song has been able to make me want to search for it after hearing it once. Since I am not good with Chinese so I had to ask for help from friends who are able to read and write Chinese in finding the song. Not really that easy considering I didn't have much to begin with :p

Anyways after some effort, my friend managed to find it for me and it has some wonderful meaning to me :)

杨洋 - 微微一笑很倾城

雨水滴在我的外套 思念浸透我的衣角
你给的暗号 微微一笑 出现的刚刚好

擦肩而过你的发梢 像是春风吹绿青草
浪漫在发酵 只愿为你 赶走所有烦恼

带你到天涯海角 听你的心跳
想给你一个拥抱 让全世界知道

遇见你我才知道你对我多重要
没有人能感觉到你最甜美的笑
我再不用把别人寻找 因为我已经找到
我们的缘分刚好不许别人打扰
搭配爱情的美妙只有我们知道
紧紧围绕你每分每秒 你对我多么重要

擦肩而过你的发梢 像是春风吹绿青草
浪漫在发酵 只愿为你 赶走所有烦恼

带你到天涯海角 听你的心跳
想给你一个拥抱 让全世界知道

遇见你我才知道你对我多重要
没有人能感觉到你最甜美的笑
我再不用把别人寻找 因为我已经找到
我们的缘分刚好不许别人打扰
搭配爱情的美妙只有我们知道
紧紧围绕你每分每秒 你对我多么重要

遇见你我才知道你对我多重要
没有人能感觉到你最甜美的笑
我再不用把别人寻找 因为我已经找到
我们的缘分刚好不许别人打扰
搭配爱情的美妙只有我们知道
紧紧围绕你每分每秒 你对我多么重要

紧紧围绕你每分每秒
你对我多么重要
你对我多么重要

Irrepairable loose screw?

Sometimes movies just makes you realize some things. Maybe I am just taking things too personal but I think there are many consideration points highlighted by the movie and you just have to realize it and analyze it for yourself.

From the movie, "How To Be Single"

I've been thinking that the time we have to be single, is really the time we have to get good at being alone.

But, how good at being alone do we really want to be?

Isn't there a danger that you'll get so good at being single, so set in your ways that you'll miss out on the chance to be with somebody great?

Although I thought I have gotten over her, I find myself still using her as ruler to compare... I didn't even noticed this until I suddenly realize that I always quote her, still praising her eventhough I have already deducted her points. Why do I still think so much of you???

不懂說話 只可以對你笑

The strange thing about this song is that when I finally found it on YouTube, it sounds and feels different from when I heard it from the radio but I like the meaning very much

林若寧 - 雙雙

卿卿我我幸運兒　天天春風得意
雙雙嚮往戀愛這大志
嘻嘻哈哈舊陣時　輕輕扣著尾指
我臉頰小小你亦個子小小發誓畢生永誌

歲歲年年的飛奔　役役營營足印
當你走得遠遠想不起初吻
斷線下沉的風箏　跟我飛過多少個小鎮
舊時路太遠面前路卻太近共誰落土生根

幾多可笑諾言 被作廢了
幾多優美落霞記得多少
匆匆歲月　絲絲幼苗 失戀過太少
幾經波折二人又再見了
幾多牽掛二人說不出口不緊要
不懂說話　只可以對你笑

漂漂泊泊又六年　依依稀稀的臉
偏偏戀愛比世界善變
更多更詳盡歌詞 在
每每寂寥的今天　總會翻揭相簿來相見
在何地再見在何日說再見在寧靜的春天

幾多可笑諾言被作廢了
幾多優美落霞記得多少
匆匆歲月　絲絲幼苗 失戀過太少
幾經波折二人又再見了
幾多牽掛二人說不出口不緊要
不懂說話　只可以對你笑

相親相愛舊時共你說笑
東奔西撲現時太多紛擾
匆匆歲月　絲絲愛情　戀不到破曉
幾經波折二人又再見了
天空海闊二人見識分手都多了
花總會謝　一想你卻會笑

生生世世又是誰　揮都揮之不去　始終有你棲息於心裡

Why are you back again???

I think it has been well over a year that you had not cross my mind but I must have been drunk that I somehow referenced you when asked about how a highly scored girl would look for me. I didn't even flash it for more than 10 seconds and yet you are here now haunting my good night's sleep.

I wouldn't call it a nightmare but perhaps it is because of the unwantedness that it feels like a nightmare. You were not the main point of the dream but yet you were somehow the focus and caused my tachycardia to happen again. You were so attractive that I could not get my eyes off of you despite the fact that you told me that your guy was in the same building. No matter where I needed to go, you would be somewhere in the corner of my eye and I cannot resist to steal a look.

It was a strange setting but its got lots of high tech stuff which I was very interested in. For a techy, he must have died and went to tech heaven because there were so many cool and amazing stuff that could amaze for hours. Probably it was supposed to be a good dream but somehow you managed to turn it into a form of nightmare.

Despite a very apparent lack of sleep, I woke up almost breaking into a sweat in a room that felt as cold as winter with a steady breeze. I cannot explain why but you are like a spectre which I probably can never exorcise.

This song would probably sum up my emotions

鄭秀文 - 放不低 

是你故意欺騙　怪在我太過心軟
你的真話就　等於夢囈　與謊言
無奈你說得太自然　令我聽了也能熱暖
甜言蜜語　原來又一次食言
是你對我改變　你別說世界轉變
解釋得混亂　千絲萬段　太多糾纏
誰沒興緻守這諾言
但卻對我再全心詐騙
胡言亂語　任你講足半天
為何永遠放不低　為何錯愛這一位
但求仍然維繫　不惜一切　我為你執迷
為何永遠放不低　任情愛控制身體
任誰關心　仍未可把你代替
(是明知的　仍願將心意白費)

Truth indeed

Only those who had been forced to do so will well and truly understand this. If it was not pointed out to me, I might still not be able to see it until this day. The fact was bright as day but I had blinders (those used on horses to keep their focus) on and ignored all the signs plus other people. If not because of my nosy friends, I might still be on blinders.

Birthday wish from Google

I know Google always does this but this is the first time I saw it for myself. I was just thinking to perform a search but hey presto! Since I didn't really get that much personal wishes, I guess this was a very appreciated one nonetheless.

I just got a cup holder while I see others get shirts =( Maybe the staff saw that I am too fat... The standard gift given to everyone was a box of magnets. I had no idea why the heck but I soon found out =D

As usual biased towards Americans type of storyline. Had a good laugh but no one to share it with, maybe not so joyful after all. I suppose it's because I forgot to brush my teeth...

The reason why I have so few friends

I wouldn't say I got my mind blown by this but I have been enlightened long ago that I have no control over what others think nor speak of me thus I will control what I can control. Unbeknownst to many, parents will always want to impart good things to their children in hopes that they will do good as well. In following that line of teaching, I would say that I have been good to others especially those who have been good to me.

Another strange thing about me is that although I am HIGHLY unreligious, I know quite a fair bit of many religions. And one of the best teachings I have ever come across was, "do unto others as you would have done unto you". Some teachings calls this karma which essentially preaches the same thing i.e. what goes around, comes around.

Things happen and this happens?

Or maybe I am just really fucked up?

Yeah, what he said...

Just...

他不懂你的心

I heard this song a couple of times on radio but always forgot to search for it. The conversation in the music video is fairly interesting as well, the final answers takes the cake.

张杰 - 他不懂

他留给你是背影
Ta liu gei ni shi bei ying
关于爱情只字不提
Guan yu ai qing zhi zi bu ti
害你哭红了眼睛
Hai ni ku hong le yan jing
他把谎言说的竟然那么动听
Ta ba huang yan shuo de jing ran na me dong ting
他不止一次骗了你
Ta bu zhi yi ci pian le ni
不值得你再为他伤心
Bu zhi de ni zai wei ta shang xin

*
他不懂你的心假装冷静
Ta bu dong ni de xin jia zhuang leng jing
他不懂爱情把它当游戏
Ta bu dong ai qing ba ta dang you xi
他不懂表明相爱这件事
Ta bu dong biao ming xiang ai zhe jian shi
除了对不起就只剩叹息
Chu le dui bu qi jiu zhi sheng tan xi
他不懂你的心为何哭泣
Ta bu dong ni de xin wei he ku qi
窒息到快要不能呼吸
Zhi xi dao kuai yao bu neng hu xi
喔喔 他不懂你的心
Ta bu dong ni de xin

他把回忆留给你
Ta ba hui yi liu gei ni
连同忧伤强加给你
Lian tong you shang qiang jia gei ni
对你说来不公平
Dui ni shuo lai bu gong ping
他的谎言句句说的那么动听
Ta de huang yan ju ju shuo de na me dong ting
他不止一次骗了你
Ta bu zhi yi ci pian le ni
不值得你再为他伤心
Bu zhi de ni zai wei ta shang xin

Repeat * x2

誰知道一想你, 思念苦無藥

Oldies are indeed goldies! I reminisced while this song was airing however the content is unfortunately another somewhat melancholic song. The lyrics hits it where it hurts most, the truth... Sudden memories might bring up something which you do not want to remember and all the feelings seem to rush back in :(

辛曉琪 - 味道

今天晚上的　星星很少　
不知道它們　跑那去了
赤裸裸的天空　
星星多寂寥

我以為傷心可以很少　
我以為我能　過得很好
誰知道一想你　
思念苦無藥　
無處可逃

想念你的笑　想念你的外套
想念你白色襪子　和你身上的味道
我想念你的吻　
和手指淡淡煙草味道　
記憶中曾被愛的味～道

今天晚上的　心事很少　
不知道這樣　算好不好
赤裸裸的寂寞　
朝著心頭繞

我以為傷心可以很少　
我以為我能　過得很好
誰知道一想你　
思念苦無藥　
無處可逃

想念你的笑　想念你的外套
想念你白色襪子　和你身上的味道
我想念你的吻　
和手指淡淡煙草味道　
記憶中曾被愛的味～道

At least I get to hear some songs which I am not too familiar with so that I can expand my knowledge instead of just sticking to singers whom I always listen to.

Double Three Hotel

I have finally checked in today, another achievement unlocked, leveled up another time etc. Unlike the previous years, I would have taken leave to just laze around in the house BUT today, I had to attend a meeting which was long overdue so can't really avoid that.

I got to the best start of the day by taking a wrong turn and added a couple of more kilometers to my journey to office. A surprise was in store for me in the office because my boss was at my office (normally she is at another office) and we did some catch up aka more work.

For lunch, I head back to my old company for their Raya Open House and supposedly a birthday celebration but there wasn't even a cake so I just did some more catch up with my old gang. I have to admit that I miss them very much.

The upside to this year perhaps is that I have a trip coming up in November to Korea :) Looking forward to seeing some kimchi girls, visit some of the places which always brings a smile to my face and taste some of the delicious looking foods.

My first expensive bag

Well, technically not mine but rather it's for my mother. Her reaction was just as I expected because she is not familiar with the brand at all. Oh well, I have talked to my colleague about this for quite some time and finally I got the chance. Would have preferred to get a cheaper one but I think this one is quite a beauty, a Michael Kors bag :p

Was shown this picture before purchase

Black color was bought by another friend. They say blue is better?

 Can be used 2 ways, like this

 and like this

 To those who knows something about this brand, is it true that the price in Malaysia is almost always over RM1000? Well, mine is of course lower than that but still it was quite a hefty sum to be very honest. At least it is not costing me a couple of thousands like most of the bags which I see many females are carrying around...

Music in my ears ... again

Previously I have bought a very low end bluetooth wireless earphone. I think it didn't even lasted 6 months and the shop which sold me that could not be found anymore. Oh well, that just means more quiet train rides to and fro work. I got through that by doing something else ie flipping Flipboard and now reading manga.

Recently I found a good deal and reconsidered to get music into my journey again. This time I am getting something from a more reputable brand, hopefully it will fare much better and serve me well.



When I was at my previous company, a colleague of mine tried to poison me everyday with his RM1500 headphone which of course helped him concentrate on work since it has noise cancellation. Ever since then I have been searching for a more affordable solution since I definitely cannot afford RM1000+ headphones.

Researched high and low for a cheaper alternative but it was an impossible task if noise cancellation was part of the criteria so I had to give up that option. With that out of the window, the price ranges dropped significantly. However, I had some other requirements which I cannot give in ie over-ear type, wireless and foldable. Wireless especially limited the options but I came down to 2 candidates which was Rapoo H6080 and Edifier W670BT. Both were in the price range which I could afford without losing sleep over.

I like Rapoo's foldability but eventually I picked Edifier because they are more specialized in making sound related devices although I am no music enthusiast. Reviews would normally favor makers with sound background so that also swayed my decision. I was quite contented with Rapoo's ability to match my requirements but in the end, experience have taught me to perhaps pay a little more to get the better product which will pay off better in the end.


Introducing my Edifier W670BT:

 

Another feature which I have not mentioned and will most likely be irrelevant in day to day usage unless your work requires you to travel frequently via airplanes. The ability to use the wireless headphone as a wired headphone. This means that you can still use the headphone in situations which only allows for wired and when your headphone ran out of battery.

I, Mercenary

I always hear from my friends and colleagues that we should have a mercenary mind. But wait a minute what is a mercenary? According to dictionary.com, it means "working or acting merely for money or other reward" By this definition, I think so many of you out there are the same but in my mind, I wanted to try to work for the highest bidder of which I have seen seems to be quite handsomely paid =D

Thus after trying many years to be able to be a mercenary, I changed 2 jobs in less than 6 months before which I stayed with my first company for almost 9.5 years. I thought to myself, I have made up my mind and be committed to making this change to try to get top dollar. This also means that I will have to venture into unknown territories ie perform unknown work.

For my first jump, it was pretty relaxed at first and it was mainly still within my comfort zone. But then came the lure of benefits which I previously had so I thought it was a better offer once again hence I went ahead for my second.

In my second jump ie now, a major part of the work is focused on a specific area which I also had experience with. However as days passed, I find that it might be a little too much for me to chew. I felt trapped at my desk whereas previously I was able to move around meeting people from various other departments and vendors. Now is all about paperwork and my attention span is close to non-existent :p

There is a great weight of expectation and a menacing shadow looking over my shoulders. It is not to say I am not able to do the work but it would be better or faster if I can be pointed into a more specific direction instead of letting me wander around looking for the right path like a blind person but is expected to reach the destination like a normal person might be able to in a new place. Sigh...

The thought of wanting to switch again or perhaps go return to where I originally started is looking a whole more attractive. Unfortunately, it looks absolutely bad on my resume to be not able to last 1 year on a new job but it is so very tempting to want to be able to do something which I may like better than now. Decisions decisions...

Good advice

I was once struck down hard with probably what some people might call depression because of a significant event that changed the way I looked at things. I was really blinded by what I perceived to be important. A friend of mine gave me a big slap to wake me up and although it was uneasy or difficult to accept but I came to realize that she was indeed right. I looked back at what happened to me and started to realize many things which I was not able to see at all before this. It was extremely surprising to me that I was oblivious to such so many glaring events, of which I have come to accept and regret my stupidity.

What's the advice?

A very good one, IMHO

Not sure why, the first song that springs to my mind about advice is:

Alanis Morissette - Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Some people think they understand BUT ...

if you were never in my shoe, I don't believe will come even close to what is really happening. Although there are very wise people around but they may know in general NEVER the exact, what's worse is that they THINK they know but in actual fact they don't and that makes things so very much worse.

It may be strange to announce that although a person may be surrounded by people BUT that person is actually very lonely. I think we can see this with celebrities sometimes, they are the supposed center of attention BUT it's probably not the kind of attention that they truly want/seek.

Do you understand???

Titled but unworthy

I think this week I sent back to school again =_=||| Feels very much like a small child being lectured by adults who have walked over more bridges than the roads I have ever traveled or have consumed as much salt particles as the grains of rice that I ever had.

I suppose that is why those kind of people are where they are because that is what they bring to the table. Although still related to the field which I like but I think I am at least a couple of years behind my colleague.

What made me worry was the way they deal with people here. Today an email was sent out to everyone in my company, the content tells of 4 senior managers, ALL of whom have worked in the company for more than 15 years at the very least were "let go" and their departments restructured. Their staff were only told end of last week. It feels so not right despite we all know that they all got a handsome fee which some refer to as the "golden handshake".

Sends a shiver down my spine thinking about those loyal people, good people who have given most of their life for the company to be "let go" in such a manner. It was rumored that they have discussed and thought about this matter before accepting the "golden handshake" but perhaps my experience with my previous company was that they were too good to their loyal employees.

As I always say, my title in the company does not mean much because it is just a way for HR to place me within their pay scale or better known as salary range. In this sense, I am just another salaryman just like most of you guys out there :)
