The Old News

I know it’s not new but I hadn’t talked about it. Starting from, Wednesday night ? Boyfriend and I followed his friend out for a drink or two. We headed to Sid’s Pub for a drink and of course to check out the Arthur’s Day bus. It was nice. I never got a picture of it but heck, Sid’s Pub was a wonderful place to just sit on the bar and drink a Stout or two. We head on to Movida next. There, the guys did something outrageous. We’ve heard of Guiness mixed with Tigers. But, Tigers mixed with Milk ? I mean like, full, cream, milk? It definitely seems awful but, believe me when I say this, it tastes all right.

This one had too much milk in it.

We’re kinda bored and the Ambassador got us shot glass for the beers. Yes, shot glass for beers, not hard liquors… Things went worse from there…

Mixed this out for boyfriend’s friend when he went off to check out some chicks that I told him is chinese and hot. When he came back, his hands kept flying doing the no-no motions.

On the Sunday, (after some checking with Diana and researching and much callings), boyfriend and I headed to Kikyo at Bandar Puteri, Puchong for lunch together with his friends, another couple. To be exact, buffet lunch. 60 over usual dishes for you to choose and it costs RM29.90++. With tax and everything, it totals up to RM34 per pax. Believe me, it’s worth it.

Here’s how it looks like outside so you won’t miss it next time.

  Part of the foods that’s available for buffet. Too lazy to take pictures of the foods since we ordered too freaking much. In the end, the guys ordered 10 plates of Unagi and it was simply worth the price since for ala carte, it costs about RM30 per serving. Well, the buffet Unagi was served with only 3 pieces per plate unlike the ala carte ones.

Make a reservation if you wanna go for dinner buffet which is available every day. This place is small and I daresay it might be jam packed most of the time. Walk-ins may not get a place to sit even if its two seater table.

The Visit Back Home

It was meant to be the trip back to his place to visit his parents, first of all, fix his car, second of all and third, grab some stuff for his paintball game later on at his parents’ shop. The other times would be spent by sitting at the home, relaxing and chilling plus killing mosquitoes nonstop.  The first three part happened, the last three didn’t. Well, boyfriend and I did rested for a tad in the noon before the parents come home to pick us up for dinner at Malacca. From a normal dinner, it turns out to be a trip around Malacca and a joyful trip for me.

We headed to this shop called Bibik Neo at Melaka Raya. Seriously, the foods are not bad, I don’t taste much of the MSG. Pure, ingredients flavors. Sweeeeeettttt….

It’s a Baba Nyonya restaurant and well, the father liked Nyonya foods and I gotta hand it in to them, the parents sure know where to find foods. The bad side to it was that, the restaurant charge a hell lot for 4 dish, rice and a pot of tea. The bill came up to RM89 something for a fish, prawn, steamed lady finger with “belacan” and a soup. Business is bad I guess. We went off to a shop that sells biscuits and moon cakes. Well, that’s what I see mostly. I loved this one the best since it brings back my childhood memories…

The pig biscuit in the pig cage !! Boyfriend and I started playing around with that and well, most Chinese knows what the cage are used for :D

Looks really nice and cute before we attacked it… 

There goes the head !!!!

The next attack !!!!

Needless to say, I love pigs for tons and tons and tons of reasons :D

Besides that, we went to the Jusco that looks quite big from the outside, but quite all right from the inside. Introduced the parents to J.Cos Iced Milk Thai Tea and everyone is all smiles. Boyfriend and I stopped by a Fun Fair near his place after we dropped the parents off and changed car to fill petrol before coming back to KL. It was definitely a journey down the memory lane. (Minus the amount of noise please)

Waking up early the next morning, which was the Friday morning to come back KL, I walked out to the porch just to stare at the peaceful scenery just right outside the house. Thanks to the rain, this was captured.

Seriously, how often do you see this besides going to Genting and darn it, just outside your house in KL ? My nostrils are cleansed. Is yours in KL ?

The big ass mango tree ( I think ) just gotta be in the middle of every picture I took, darn it. It was raining heavily and I was kinda stoned to go out further.  

This trip makes me realize that there are more things in Malacca that I’ve yet to try and I can’t wait for next trip back.

I Like You Like ?

Let’s face it, I know the name ain’t me and it’s seriously gay now that I look back at it again. I don’t know why I even bother letting it stick to me for so effin’ long and now, I’m taking it down and replacing a new one. Simple, no ?

Yes !! Imma changing the name of it since I got sick and tired of that old name. Why bother keeping one that annoys me the most ? I find almost everything annoys me easily lately… But, whatever it is, it is announced and It has been changed permanently !! Let the commencement to it begins !! Taa Daaaa !!!

The Lazy Me

I know I’ve been freaking lazy lately. I mean, what do you expect with all the holidays going on ? The most painful thing to do now is write for one of the class… Yes, write, no, I mean typed out work but it’s all about how to write news or features and it hurts my head. Blogging is different ! I don’t think what to write, I wrote what I think. It’s the other way round and nobody bosses me around on how and what to write about nor do I need to care who’s gonna read it or not. My eyes are threatening to close even as I type this out. It’s such a hot afternoon.

When I think of things that will hurt my head to even think of it, this particular song kept creeping into my brain and I’m actually starting to get annoyed with it though I liked the song in the first place. Yes, I liked it, ok ?

It’s pretty neat but now it makes me think of a monster that’s probably living within myself. I’m definitely making myself ugly…

It stretches out to you, reaching into the place,
You thought you had it locked, safely
It slithers into the depth, uncovering them,
You thought it was all forgotten, lost
It touches them, opening the door,
All the was locked, lost and hidden,
Was never locked, lost nor hidden…

～恋の雨～

Presenting, Toshinobu Kubota with 恋の雨 ! Ok, it’s called Koi No Ame in Romaji or translated it is, Love Rain ! From the song, you get the jolly jolly feeling. The 70-ish feeling. I like that. It’s definitely another one of the song in my top list of Jpop.

It’s sweet, it’s beautiful, it just makes you happy when you listened to it. It worked for me :)

久保田利伸の "LOVE RAIN ～恋の雨"
'Moon Lover' theme song
月の恋人主題歌(しゅだいか)

tomaranai ame ga koi ga fura seta ame ga
止まらない雨が 恋が降らせた雨が
futari wo kinou e kaesanai
ふたりを 昨日へ 帰さない

koori no kaze no mannaka wo hitori susunda umorenaiyou
氷の風の 真ん真ん中を ひとり進んだ 埋もれないよう
kogoeta hoo wo ima azukeyou sonote de hold me, baby
凍えた頬を 今あずけよう その手で Hold me, Baby
shizuka ni saita kirei na hana ni boku no kakugo ga me wokosuri dasu
静かに咲いた きれいな花に 僕の覚悟が 目をこすり出す
futari de ochita koi no mahou special lady kie naide
ふたりで落ちた 恋の魔法 Special Lady 消えないで

tsuki ni sotto mimamora reteru youna yawarakai uzu no naka
月にそっと見守られてるような やわらかい渦の中
mirai no shinwa ni kizamare souna monogatari tsukurou
未来の神話に刻まれそうな 物語作ろう

konomama kimi no mune ni tobi konda mama
このまま君の 胸に飛び込んだまま
ubaitai zutto namida mo sono hitomi mo
奪いたい ずっと 涙も その瞳も
tomaranai ame ga koi ga fura seta ame ga
止まらない雨が 恋が降らせた雨が
futari wo kinou e kaesanai
ふたりを 昨日へ 帰さない

Ooh wow in the Love Rain

hade na mujaki mo tamano yowane mo kobose aereba soko ni real love

派手な無邪気も たまの弱音も こぼせ合えれば そこにReal Love
kimi ga ayatsuru boku no kodou come on, lady furete mite
君が操る 僕の鼓動 Come on, Lady 触れてみて

maibyou maibyou tsuyoku naru ai to fueteku setsuna sawo
毎秒毎秒 強くなる愛と 増えてく切なさを
philly soul mourayami souna melody ni nose you
Philly Soulもうらやみそうな メロディに乗せよう

sakebitai kimi to sekai ni warawarete mo
叫びたい君と 世界に笑われても
akireta sono me ga boku no smile utsusu kara

呆れた その目が 僕のSmile映すから
atatakai ame ga o otsubu no jounetsu ga
あたたかい雨が 大粒の情熱が
futari no kiss wo hodo kanai
ふたりの Kissを ほどかない

omoi wo kasaneta mama ima flying around
想いを重ねたまま 今 Flying around
taisetsu na hitotsu igai subete sokoni oi te
大切なひとつ以外 すべて そこに置いて

konomama kimi no mune ni tobi konda mama
このまま君の 胸に飛び込んだまま
ubaitai zutto namida mo sono hitomi mo
奪いたい ずっと 涙も その瞳も
tomaranai ame ga koi ga fura seta ame ga
止まらない雨が 恋が降らせた雨が
futari wo kinou e kaesanai
ふたりを 昨日へ 帰さない

We're stuck in the Love Rain...
There's nobody else...

Listen to the song on a rainy day, Listen to the beat
Dance along to the music,
Your heart will flutter along with it and you will sing

Hello,Again~昔からある場所~

The word is Hello, Again ~ Mukashi kara Aru Basho (translated, it says: Hello, Again ~ A Place from Long Ago ~) On my list of Jpops, this is one of the song that has touched me the most with the MV and the lyrics of course. Oh, the singer is JUJU by the way :D

One slip of the hand, you will miss out the chance to see them
One single mistake, you will miss the chance to be with them
Keep the memories together forever
No matter when or where or what

~That’s my words~

Hello, Again～昔からある場所～ – JUJU

Itsumo kimi to machitsuzuketa kisetsu wa
いつも 君と 待ち続けた 季節は
Nanimo iwazu toorisugita
何も言わず 通り過ぎた
Ame wa kono machi ni furisosogu
雨はこの街に 降り注ぐ
Sukoshi no RIGURETTO to tsumi wo tsutsumikonde
少しの リグレットと罪を 包み込んで

Nakanai koto wo chikatta mama toki wa sugi
泣かないことを 誓ったまま 時は過ぎ
Itamu kokoro ni ki ga tzukazu ni boku wa hitori ni natta
痛む心に 気が付かずに 僕は一人になった

"Kioku no naka de zutto futari wa ikite ikeru"
「記憶の中で ずっと二人は 生きて行ける」
Kimi no koe ga ima mo mune ni hibikuyo sore wa ai ga samayou kage
君の声が 今も胸に響くよ それは愛が彷徨う影
Kimi wa sukoshi naita? Ano toki mienakatta
君は少し泣いた? あの時見えなかった

Jibun no genkai ga dokomade ka wo shiru tame ni
自分の限界が どこまでかを 知るために
Boku wa ikiteru wake jyanai
僕は生きてる訳じゃない

Dakedo atarashii tobira wo ake umi ni dereba
だけど 新しい扉を開け 海に出れば
Nami no kanata ni chanto "hate" wo kanjirareru
波の彼方に ちゃんと”果て”を感じられる

Boku wa kono te nobashite sora ni susumi kaze wo ukete
僕は この手伸ばして 空に進み 風を受けて
Ikite ikou dokoka de mata meguruyo tooi mukashi kara aru basho
生きて行こう どこかでまためぐるよ 遠い昔からある場所
Yoru no aide de sae kisetsu wa kawatte iku
夜の間でさえ 季節は変わって行く

Ame wa yagate agatteita
雨は やがて あがっていた

"Kioku no naka de zutto futari wa ikite ikeru"
「記憶の中で ずっと二人は 生きて行ける」
Kimi no koe ga ima mo mune ni hibikuyo sore wa ai ga samayou kage
君の声が 今も胸に響くよ それは愛が彷徨う影
Kimi wa sukoshi naita? Ano toki mienakatta
君は少し泣いた? あの時見えなかった

It’s beautiful isn’t judging from the MV ? I’m definitely warmed the first time I see this video and it gives butterflies to the stomach. Although I can’t fully read Japanese, but I get the rough idea from the words or phrases here and there. If you could help out to translate the lyrics, I would be grateful and it will be posted here.

Enjoy ~
