08 Aug 2018 : Panama

Let's Dance..

Panama

If you don't like it this way either,

Go and fly in Panama.

Days, days, days, days I run girl,

Miles, miles, miles, miles on the greenfield

For you, you to give you a gift, gift

The most precious gift, but without any cent, cent

Ganja, weed are use-useless,

Only you know to give me the wing-wings

In Jamaica or in Chille, Chille,

My heart does Boom-Boom only for you

Eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh,

Only for you,

Eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh

You haven't answered your phone,

No problem, I get you out on the balcony

And you'll see with your own eyes

How I'll bring you flowers, a truck.

And I'll sing to you like this with my guitar

If you don't like it this way either,

Go and fly in Panama. Oh my feather!

Ah ah, ah ah, fly in Panama,

Ah ah, ah ah, fly, oh my feather!

Ah ah, ah ah, fly in Panama!

Ah ah, ah ah, go and fly away.

Pound-pounds, pound-pounds I lost,

Anyways baby, they were not help-helpful

I miss you, I'm turned around-round,

I get home in time, I gotta walk all the way,

What does the money help us at?

If you give me love and daily I put years

Like Bonnie and Clyde, there will only be you and I

And we're gonna have, girl, a love like in the movies

Eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh,

A love like in the movies

Eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh

You haven't answered your phone,

No problem, I get you out on the balcony

And you'll see with your own eyes

How I'll bring you flowers, a truck.

And I'll sing to you like this with my guitar

If you don't like it this way either,

Go and fly in Panama. Oh my feather!

Ah ah, ah ah, fly in Panama,

Ah ah, ah ah, fly, oh my feather!

Ah ah, ah ah, fly in Panama!

Ah ah, ah ah, Eh! Oh no!

Baby girl, just come to me,

I've got love in my hands and I'll exchange it with yours.

Baby girl, my love

Is quality, I give the ounce, ounce, just take it.

You haven't answered your phone,

No problem, I get you out on the balcony

And you'll see with your own eyes

How I'll bring you flowers, a truck.

And I'll sing to you like this with my guitar

If you don't like it this way either,

Go and fly in Panama. Oh my feather!

Ah ah, ah ah, fly in Panama,

Ah ah, ah ah, fly, oh my feather!

Ah ah, ah ah, fly in Panama!

Ah ah, ah ah, Pwaaah!

Original in Romanian - 

Daca nici asa nu-ti place,

Ia mai zboara-n Panama.

Zile zile, zile zile eu alerg girl,

Mile mile, mile mile pe maidan,

Pentru tine, tine sa-ti dau un dar, dar,

Cel mai de pret dar fara nici un ban, ban,

Ganja, iarba, sunt inutile-tile,

Numai tu stii sa-mi dai aripile-pile,

In Jamaica sau in Chile, Chile,

Inima face Boom-Boom numai pentru tine.

Eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh,

Numai pentru tine,

Eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh.

N-ai raspuns la telefon,

No problem, te scot pe balcon,

Si-o sa vezi cu ochii tai

Cum ti-aduc flori, un camion,

Si iti cant asa cu chitara mea,

Daca nici asa nu-ti place,

Ia mai zboara-n Panama. Ce pana mea!

Ah ah, ah ah, mai zboara-n Panama,

Ah ah, ah ah, zboara, ce pana mea,

Ah ah, ah ah, mai zboara-n Panama,

Ah ah, ah ah, hai mai zboara.

Kile-kile, kile-kile eu am dat jos,

Oricum baby, nu erau de folos-los,

Mi-e dor de tine, sunt intors pe dos-dos,

Acasa ajung la timp, tre’ sa o iau pe jos-jos,

La ce ne folosesc banii, banii, banii

Daca tu imi dai iubire si zi de zi pun anii,

Ca Bonnie & Clyde, sa fiu doar eu cu tine

Si o sa avem, girl, o iubire ca in filme.

Eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh,

O iubire ca in filme,

Eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh, eh eh. Eh!

N-ai raspuns la telefon,

No problem, te scot pe balcon,

Si-o sa vezi cu ochii tai

Cum ti-aduc flori, un camion,

Si iti cant asa cu chitara mea,

Daca nici asa nu-ti place,

Ia mai zboara-n Panama. Ce pana mea!

Ah ah, ah ah, mai zboara-n Panama,

Ah ah, ah ah, zboara, ce pana mea,

Ah ah, ah ah, mai zboara-n Panama,

Ah ah, ah ah. Eh! Oh no!

Baby girl, hai vino incoa',

Am dragoste la mine, o dau la schimb cu a ta,

Baby girl, dragostea mea

E de calitate, dau gramul, gram, hai ia.

N-ai raspuns la telefon,

No problem, te scot pe balcon,

Si-o sa vezi cu ochii tai

Cum ti-aduc flori, un camion,

Si iti cant asa cu chitara mea,

Daca nici asa nu-ti place,

Ia mai zboara-n Panama. Ce pana mea!

Ah ah, ah ah, mai zboara-n Panama,

Ah ah, ah ah, zboara, ce pana mea,

Ah ah, ah ah, mai zboara-n Panama,

Ah ah, ah ah, hai maï zboara. Pwaah!https://lyricstranslate.com/en/panama-panama.html

18 Jul 2018 : A night out

17 Jul 2018 : Japanese in Singapore

Stole time to walk around and found that many Japanese shops in Singapore malls.  There was at least one shop in each mall that I stepped in. One even has a special corners for all Japanese ingredients, snacks and groceries at the departmental store.  I doubt it really works for those fly all the way to Japanese to purchase some of those items if they were not unique.

路遥知马力，日久见人心

As the distance tests a horse's strength, time reveals a man's sincerity.

忙，盲，茫，莽，氓。。。。。。

09 May 2018 : Today marks the history of Malaysia

While lining up, whatapps my beloved ex-coursemates on the ink.  A promising response stated that it would not have negative impact on my wound.   I was indecisive to dip right index finger into the ink because I forgot to bring wiper that the ink might drip on the invaluable voting ballot.   After an- hour queue, I just dipped the left index finger to the small bottle of ink.  

Everyone was so excited.  If I was not in the long queue, I doubted I could finish reading all the messages flooding in my phone.  Many neglected FB  but whatapps about any latest progress, information, ideas, opinions and many others.  Many that not appearing started to show their presence. It was blessed to get in touch with friends / relatives around the globe.  And, we were all in one (sebulat hati).

I am a Malaysian !

06 May 2018 : Lovelicious Bento 爱心便当

PL has been preparing bento for CY since last 3 weeks.  CY started after-school UPSR tuition in Feb 2018 and took lunch in school during the half an hour break.  It was fun to figure out what to eat (CY) and what to prepare (PL, and sometimes CY). 

But alas, an accident happened this evening. While chopping the corns to be handy and smaller pieces, the left index finger was on the chopping board !  The flesh was sliced deep and blood was flowing out.  PL immediately ran though under the tap water by pressing on the open wound.  However, the bleeding could not be stopped.  Without hesitation, CY was told to call CC.  Looking at the pool of blood, PL felt a chill in her body, covered with a layer of cold sweats.  CC was home in the nick of time. 

PL's finger was dressed by the doctor in the 24-hour clinic. Looking at PL's "trauma" condition, he asked, " Are you on menstrual cycle?" He must be suspecting losing too much blood caused PL's pale face and dizziness.

It was almost midnight when PL went to bed. 

Well, it won't stop from preparing delicious and healthy lunch box.

04 Apr 2018 : Après Un Rêve / After a dream

Poet - Roman Bussine

Composer - Gabriel Fauré

Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image

Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage,

Tes yeux étaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore,

Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore;

Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre

Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière,

Les cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues,

Splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entrevues,

Hélas! Hélas! triste réveil des songes

Je t'appelle, ô nuit, rends moi tes mensonges,

Reviens, reviens radieuse,

Reviens ô nuit mystérieuse!

Translation :

Drowsing spellbound with the vision of you
I dreamt of happiness, burning mirage,
Your eyes were gentler, your voice was pure and sonorous
You shone like the dawn-lit sky

You called me and I left the earth
To flee with you toward the light
For us the heavens opened up their clouds
To reveal unknown splendour, glimpses of divine light…

Alas, alas, sad awakening from these dreams
I call out to you, oh night, give me back your lies
Come back, come back, radiant one
Come back mysterious night.

03 Apr 2018 : 慢慢 vs 慢慢喜歡你

慢慢喜歡你 - 莫文蔚

作詞：李榮浩    作曲：李榮浩

編曲：馮翰銘

書裡總愛寫到喜出望外的傍晚

騎的單車還有他和她的對談

女孩的白色衣裳男孩愛看她穿

好多橋段

好多都浪漫

好多人心酸

好聚好散

好多天都看不完

剛才吻了你一下你也喜歡對嗎

不然怎麼一直牽我的手不放

你說你好想帶我回去你的家鄉

綠瓦紅磚

柳樹和青苔

過去和現在

都一個樣

你說你也會這樣

慢慢喜歡你

慢慢的親密

慢慢聊自己

慢慢和你走在一起

慢慢我想配合你

慢慢把我給你

慢慢喜歡你

慢慢的回憶

慢慢的陪你慢慢的老去

因為慢慢是個最好的原因

晚餐後的甜點就點你喜歡的吧

今晚就換你去床的右邊睡吧

這次旅行我還想去上次的沙灘

球鞋手錶

襪子和襯衫都已經燙好

放行李箱

早上等著你起床

慢慢喜歡你

慢慢的親密

慢慢聊自己

慢慢和你走在一起

慢慢我想配合你

慢慢把我給你

慢慢喜歡你

慢慢的回憶

慢慢的陪你慢慢的老去

因為慢慢是個最好的原因

書裡總愛寫到喜出望外的傍晚

慢慢 - 张学友

作詞：白進法    作曲：林隆璇

心 慢慢疼 慢慢冷

慢慢等不到愛人

付出一生 收回幾成

情 不能分 不能恨

不能太輕易信任

真愛一回 盡是傷痕

淚 慢慢流 慢慢收

慢慢變成了朋友

寂寞的夜 獨自承受

愛 不能久 不能夠

不能太容易擁有

傷人的愛 不堪回首

慢慢 慢慢沒有感覺

慢慢 慢慢我被忽略

你何忍看我憔悴

沒有一點點安慰

慢慢 慢慢心變成鐵

慢慢 慢慢我被拒絕

你何忍遠走高飛

要我如何收拾這 愛的殘缺

淚 慢慢流 慢慢收

慢慢變成了朋友

寂寞的夜 獨自承受

愛 不能久 不能夠

不能太容易擁有

傷人的愛 不堪回首

慢慢 慢慢沒有感覺

慢慢 慢慢我被忽略

你何忍看我憔悴

沒有一點點安慰

慢慢 慢慢心變成鐵

慢慢 慢慢我被拒絕

你何忍遠走高飛

要我如何收拾這 愛的殘缺

慢慢 慢慢沒有感覺

慢慢 慢慢我被忽略

你何忍看我憔悴

沒有一點點安慰

慢慢 慢慢心變成鐵

慢慢 慢慢我被拒絕

你何忍遠走高飛

要我如何收拾這 愛的殘缺
