My two fav all-time songs (English & Malay)

Richard Marx - Right Here Waiting

Oceans apart day after day
And I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line
But it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never
How can we say forever

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted, all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive
This romance
But in the end if I'm with you
I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it baby
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go
Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

Siti Nurhaliza - Purnama Merindu

Bermaknakah tiap baris kata-kata
Ataukah hanya di bibir saja
Bersungguhkan rindu yang engkau pamirkan
Ataukan sekadar lakonan

#
Rindu telah melekat dalam hatiku
Walau awan lalu
Rinduku tak berubah arah

c/o
Purnama mengambang cuma berteman
Bintang berkelipan dan juga awan
Siapa tahu rindu yang mencengkam
Di hatiku

Aku meminta pada yang ada
Aku merindu pada yang kasih
Aku merayu padamu yang sudi
Merinduku

(repeat # and c/o)
(Purnama mengambang berbagai warna)
(Bila embun pun datang tinggal purnama)
Tinggallah aku (Sendirian)
Bertemankan malam sepi (Aku meminta pada yang ada)
Aku merindu pada yang kasih (Aku merayu)
Padamu yang sudi memujuk
Aku meminta... (Pada yang ada)
Aku merindu... (Pada yang kasih)
Aku merayu... (Padamu yang sudi)
Merinduku...

Hiaskanlah cinta di jaris manisku
Sinarkan bagai gemerlap kencana
Tandakanlah kasih di mercu kalbu
Serikanlah purnama yang merindu

These lyrics are taken from http://lyrics.rare-lyrics.com/R/Richard-Marx/Right-Here-Waiting.html and http://lyrics.rare-lyrics.com/S/Siti-Nurhaliza/Purnama-Merindu.html

These two songs are my first favourite songs (English and Malay) and still my favourite. I'm not sure why I still like these songs. For Purnama Merindu, it is because this is the first song that I like from my favourite singer, Siti Nurhaliza while for Right Here Waiting, I like it because this is the first English song that I understand the lyric (My English was really bad that time). The lyric is easy to understand and melodic and it also touches my heart. Right now my favourite song is by Celine Dion and Il Divo. It's called 'I Believe In You'. You should also listen to this song. It's really beautiful.

That's Disgusting! Beware!?

Lets start the post with a smile on our face. It's really a funny and a little bit disgusting story. It's taken from Sarawak Tribune.

Three drunkards were walking down the street when they came upon a pile of manure where they stopped. The first drunkard, upon observation of the manure said to the other two, "Looks like it...". The second, bending over it and sniffing, said to the other two, "smells like it...". Then the third, sticking his finger in it, said, "feels like it...". "Good thing we didn't step in it", they all agreed as they turned and walked away.

Haha.. The third guy was really stupid. I think he was way too drunk. Stepping on it is much better than touching it. I want to change the story a bit. Instead of just sticking in it, he stuck his finger in it, then put in his mouth and said, "taste like it..." haha.. That would be very disgusting. Yuck! The moral of the story is do not go places where there are droppings, manure or dumping area..

BEWARE!!!

To all men, beware of using the toilets in the capital. This information I got from our newspaper few days ago. Before you do your business(you know what I mean), check whether there is closed-circuit television(CCTV) installed nearby. The CCTV is inside the men's toilet on the ceiling on top of the urine bowls. They operators said that the CCTV was installed after cases of drug addicts doing their stuff there. With CCTV, they thought that it would scare the drug addicts away. I feel that even though their intention is good, it still violates our privacy. The CCTV might be misused. I can't stand other people seeing me urinating. By the way, I don't really like using the bowls because I feel that someone is looking at my *****. So guys, Beware! Lots of people have been complaining about this. I'm not really sure whether the CCTV has been dismantled or not. Hope it has..

Oh ya tomorrow and on Sunday, there will be an UBD Open at the Chancellor Hall. I don't really know what time it starts but I was asked to go there at 8am to have a little briefing. I know that I have said that I won't be participating in any activities or events that UBD hold this semester, but I can't stand it. I feel that I lost a part of me because I am not doing something that I like to do. That is, working. I don't know.. I hope this would be my last...

Brunei Boleh!!

It has been a few days that I have not posted anything in my blog. The last post received a great response from you guys. Thank you, I really appreciate all your comments but I'm not really sure whether I would be continuing the story. This is due to some reasons. I am so lazy to type and also I think the continuation is really boring. The Malay and the story line are bad. Only that part(from the previous post) that I am confident about my writing. I would not want to show how bad I wrote it. Maybe if I feel like it then I would type it. Sorry guys..

There's nothing much happening this couple of days. I was really lazy to do my projects. I don't really know what's happenning with me. We just started our semester a couple of weeks ago and I already feel tired and lazy.. I don't really think it's because of the work load that our lecturers have been giving us. As far as I am concerned, the work load is not that heavy. I don't know... Maybe it's because of the weather(?).. haha I don't know..

Oh ya, I just recently surfed into one of our local website. There is a topic, in the Have Your Say section, that really interests me. It's about our country and it's people. Here is a part of what he said,

"Yup, Brunei shouldn't even exist in Borneo. Bruneians copycat everything what we malaysians think. They copy AF to be P2F, they copy our songs (but not lyrics) to be their songs such as the SEA games 1999 themes and many more, they copy our drama to be their drama, in short, Bruneians can't think for themselves. The least we Malaysians could do is "buy" Brunei and let Brunei be part of our great Malaysian society. You Bruneians shouldn;t even dare to insult us cos if not because of us, you Bruneians are nothing! And one last words, we Malaysians are far more better looking than you Bruneians.OUCH!"

I know that some of what he mentioned are true, but the facts that he said that Malaysians could 'buy' Brunei is out of line. Bruneians belong to Brunei. I don't really now what to say about his comments. It's just that Malaysia is ashame to have a Malaysian like Kumar. What's his problem with us Bruneian? Sanang-sanang kan mengucap kitani. It's up to us how we develop our country. Brunei Boleh!!! Oh ya about Malaysians being better looking than Bruneians. Prasanku I am more handsome than some of Malaysians artists. Haha nadawah just to cool myself down..
