Towards The Future

I am so bored today, as usual it's Monday so what do you expect. Just wanna share what I found on the web. The translation of the famous Japanese song entitled Mira e(Towards the future) by Kiroro. So for those who loves Japanese songs like me, enjoy the transalation.


KIRORO - MIRA E (Towards The Future)

Look! Look at your feet
This is the road you walk
Look! Look ahead of youThat is your future
My mother gave me so much kindness
"Embrace love and walk," she said over and over
At that time I was still immature
I didn't understand her meaning
She held my hand
And walked with me
Our dreams are always high in the sky
It's scary that they might not come true
But we still continue to chase them
Because it's our story
We don't want to give up
When I was unsure she held my hand
And walked with me
There were times when I hated that kindness
When separated from my mother I couldn't be obedient
Look! Look at your feet
This is the road you walk
Look! Look ahead of you
That is your future
There were times when I hated that kindness
When separated from my mother I couldn't be obedient
Look! Look at your feet
This is the road you walk
Look! Look ahead of you
That is your future
Look! Look at your feet
This is the road you walk
Look! Look ahead of you
That is your future
Turn towards the future
Let's walk slowly

We’ve Been Tagged….

Sorry it took us quite a while to reply to the ‘tagness’. Weirdness? Well we can’t say we are almost perfect though we really like to admit we are. Hehehe… So here are among 6 weirdness wonder we have in no particular order and no name mention ;)

1) Staple and stapler are among the things you need in the office. Well, u can always borrow from your colleague, tak pun main amik jek kat meja dia. It’s company’s property after all. Well, one of use likes to eat staple. Well not actually eat it, but more like play it in the mouth. No harm done while playing with the staple in the mouth. Being doing it since like…. Forever, so you can say, one of use are professional staple player … believe it.

2) One of use can be related to water elements. So we can make assumption that one of us not easily dehydrated since water are around her everywhere. She have sweaty palm and feet. While most of use berjalan meninggalkan kesan tapak kaki, oh not my dear friend, I bet u cannot trace her tapak kaki, since tapak kaki tu akan kembang (mcm pen dakwat basah kena air) n slowly diminished into thin air, kena sejatan la senang kata. And no, it’s not a penyakit like Palmer Hyperhidrosis or what not. It’s just unique. Some people have that kind of element. So kalau u meet someone yg temper memanjang, that person might be in the fire element, or ala2 Ghost Rider, semua berapi jek.

3) One of us might not take golfing as one of her activity. Don’t expect her to play lawn bowling either. She won’t step on a grass. Well not stepping at all would be a lie. She will either de-route her path or berlari cross the grass. It’s like geli-geli stepping on the grass. It’s a nightmare kalau mimpi grass. Any type of grass. Butterfly in her stomach if she needs to step on the grass.

4) It’s back to water element, but one of use relates to ice man. Suka gigit ice. Fine that’s not weird gigit n makan ice camtu jek. But the willingness to buy ice just to have the fun biting it, that’s weird. More like challenging the teeth and suhu dlm badan. I bet she doesn’t need sensodyne. Gigit maintain jek. And in case, she being picked to go to everest, or kutub utara, or kutub selatan, she must be among the happiest person on earth. Bagai sirih pulang ke gagang. :D

5) One of us, tak makan and fobia with sos tomato & sos cili right from the bottle. Meaning the raw one...as a kid, if you want to threaten her, well, just tunjukkan botol cili/tomato tu, and she'll be screaming like mad running away ...that's what her brother n cousins used to do to...buleh nangis jadiknye...pernah one time, waktu her dad gi beli burger ramli, die lupe nak cakap takde sos, so bile bukak tgk2 die taruh sos..ape lagi, refused to eat..so memberontak la...ape lagi her dad ngamuk, siap threaten nak blasah..ape lagi dalam keterpaksaan, telan bende tu as if its so jijik that she cudnt let herself swallow...pelik tak pelik tu..haha..tapi dah tua sikit ni, when you talk about coooking, dia boleh lak makan, let say if the cooking requires sos cili/tomato as its ingredients..well, she can pegang the bottle and masak and makan..klu dulu..jgn kate nak pegang, the sight of it pun kalau boleh tak nak tgk... so you might be thinking..kalau makan fast food tu camno lak?..haaa..mmg tak makan sos .kalu kfc, makan camtu jer..kalau mcd, sume boleh kecuali beef burger, mc egg ( sebab ade ketchup aka sos tomato tu)..kalau teringin sgt nak, mesti special request, "no ketchup please"...klu burger king, whopper a no no..., a& w, sib baik mozza burger die takde sos...and the list goes on la...

6) When it’s time to hit the hay, some of us do have certain… em we don’t classify it as weirdness, but something that makes us sleep like a baby. One of us must basah belakang dari tengkuk sampai tulang belakang, else tak leh tido. May be sbb sejuk kot, then terus selesa nak tido.

So I guess there are ‘special qualities’ among us, that’s what make us special ;) Don’t u think so?

Tremors

If you look at the title, you might be thinking about the ol movie ..kevin bacon starring..hahah...(kelakar n bodoh2 nye criter I shud add)...but hey..sequel2 die pun ditengok jugak..heheh

But then again..it not about that...its about the tremor I experienced twice today..( i guess most of you experienced it also)...

residing in one of the tallest workplace in KL is a nuisance...lif bongok, fire drill - penat, yada yada yada...banyak susah dari senang la nak di jadik kan criter....

Well, when we were strike by the quake shock and after shock (btw it was the hardest one I felt so far, compared to acheh's one), of course people start panicking etc, start to call our security and to our surprise, they said that shud we need to evacuate, they will alarm us so..
But that makes me wonder...nak tunggu sampai serpihan jatuh ke baru nak on kan speaker tu..for all that matter, speaker tu jalan ke pun? Same case waktu ade real fire hari tu..macam lembap je instruction tu...

When I here a few buildings had already given instruction to turun, we, remain as 'workaholic' as we can...not realising that the tremors had made us unbalance in the head.. sigh!

I come to wonder and felt very very grateful that Malaysia is out of that lingkaran Api tengah ( kalau tak silap la belajar geografi tingkat 1 dulu..or is it 3..?). And I really sympathize Indonesia as most of its pulau is within the strecth of that lingkaran api...

updates in CNN I looked just now, the quake already took 69 lives..sedih sgt2...when there's war in the middle east, ppl struggling to retaliate against those intruders, we at the south east struggling of another type of 'blow'...

is this the result of our own doing?? something for us to ponder.....

I am only an Anchovy

Recently, I was reminded where I stand in this organization and who I am in this world. I am only an anchovy or cakap melayunya.. " aku hanyalah ikan bilis". To make it more dramatic or more PRECISE "aku hanyalah ikan bilis di LAUTAN". Yes, that is how small I am in this world.

I was reminded about it just recently. Everyday I 've been a humble employee doing my job day in day out. What ever my superior ask me to do, I have to do it because it is my duty. But, sometimes.. it is just too much. When you are being pushed too much, you can only take up to a certain extent. Hey! I am only human, I have feelings too, if you push me too much, i might just go overboard. When I was at that stage of going 'overboard' I was reminded of who I am actually. Yep, non other than an ANCHOVY! Jeritlah sekuat hati, marahlah sekuat hati, do whatever I want, but who am to say such things? ikan bilis maaa.

Sad but true, but that is the reality. I am now being reminded about it everyday. I think the organzation should have just put up a big poster up on a wall with the words saying " REMEMBER, U R ONLY AN ANCHOVY". That would be a good mental torture don't you think.

Furthermore, when I was driving back home from office, AGAIN I am being reminded of how small I am. The BIG cars 'bullying' drivers like me with their big money etc. So here I am, realizing of who i am... only an anchovy.
