Listening to J-rock
Yup, that includes Arashi's PIKANCHI (lazy to switch to typing Japanese so that I can get that star) and the Kisarazu Cat's Eye theme :D But mostly non-Johnny's group...coulda played TOKIO but decided to take a short break frm their familiar rock songs...Perfume Of Love by Globe, The 4th Avenue Cafe by L'arc en Ciel, and a mix of songs by London Boots and Kashiwabara Takashi :D Chemistry, Luna Sea and Ken Hirai too...bet you're surprised I've actually got non-Johnny's songs on my com :D
Can't help feeling that Chemistry's "Kimi wo Sagashiteta" would be a nice song to walk down the aisle to...:) Nice rhythm and romantic lyrics *sighz~~~*
Zutto zutto kimi no soba de/
dare yori mo chikai kono basho de/
nani yori mo tsuyoi kimochi de boku wa/
Kimi wo mamori tsuzukeru...
Hikari mabushii no asatte mo/
Kaze ga hikitsuzuku yoru demo/
Itsu no hi kawaranai kimochi de/
Boku dake wo mitete hoshii
I'll always, always be by your side
Here, nearer than anyone else
With feelings stronger than anything
I'll keep protecting you...
Be it the blinding, dazzling day after tomorrow
Or the nights where the wind keeps blowing
I want you to see only me
With never-changing feelings
Zutto zutto kimi no soba de
Dare yori mo chikai no basho de
Nani yori mo tsuyoi kimochi de boku wa
kimi wo mamori tsuzukeru
Kyou mo ashita mo asatte mo
Kore dake no toki nachattemo
Kore dake wa tomaranai n da boku wa
Kimi dake wo mitsumeteiru...
I'll always always be by your side
Nearer than anyone else
With feelings stronger than anything
I'll keep protecting you
Be it today, tomorrow or the day after
Even if it's just for this moment
The me who won't stop just because of that
Sees you and only you...
I'll swoon and faint if the guy I liked said that to me...sang that to me...dedicated this song to me ~*sighz again*~~~~~~~~~If I still remember this then, when I get married, I'll want my husband to sing this song to me at our wedding...I won't make him. He'll have to be spontaneous about it...
And of course, walking down the aisle...in a gown with a long train and a wispy veil...to see the one I love and want to spend my life with, waiting for me there...
Right now the face of that person is blinded out by the bright light...I still have yet to know who he is. But I do hope I'll meet that someone, someday in the near future--it doesn't have to be now. He'll be my dream guy...the kind of guy I've always had in my heart...someone whom I can connect with...who understands me and accepts me for who I am...who's strong and protective (not overprotective)...and so on
It's strange, I know that many of my peers don't see themselves getting married beforet the age of 30, or having children. But I do...because I know that's what I want. Of course I'd want a career too, but I'd like to balance both career and family. It won't be easy, but I hope that by then, companies will be more family oriented. I don't expect my husband to be a househusband or anything, but he must be supportive and family-oriented too...
My mum made sort of a 'compromise' to take care of me when I was little, she switched to freelance.When I was a baby she left me at me grandma's, when I grew a little older she brought me along to her workplace(s). Guess I was lucky then, that my mum had such understanding employers...
It's weird. When I was younger, around 7 years old, I once said, "I want to get married on my 21st birthday!" Lol...my relatives who heard that went, "That's a little young isn't it?" So the next time anyone asked me (when I was around 10), I'd reply, "25" though I'd really have liked it a little younger :D. Now my ideal is around 22 or 23 to 27...yes, a little fresh out of university. Which means I have to work extra hard and be extra outstanding so that I'll have a successful career by then. Somehow I have a feeling that it's possible.
Some people may have heard me say that if I ever had a boyfriend, my ideal is that he be at least 1 year older than I am. 1 year to(right now) around 4 or 5 years. When I'm older, say, 20 and above, nothing more than 10 yrs age difference is no problem. Why? Well, I'd like someone who's mature,sensible and reliable. Who's ready for a mature relationship that DOES NOT INCLUDE SEX OR MAKING OUT IN PUBLIC. The guys my age all seem so immature...
I don't see why couples have to make out in public. If you were really in love, you wouldn't need to express it in front of so many people because the way you looking at and speak to each other etc will explain everything. I'm not against premarital sex either, but not until the relationship becomes very, very deep and serious, perhaps to the point of marriage...but of course the best is to save oneself for marriage because it's the best gift you can give to the person you love.
From the way they hold hands, I know they're in love
From the protective way he puts his arms around her shoulder, or on the small of her back, or around her waist, I know that he loves her
Her adoring gaze, the smile around their lips
They're happy to be with each other, and they don't have to show it on purpose
Because in the slightest, most seemingly insignificant gestures, they already show their love for each other
they don't have to lock lips or hug to show off in front of everyone to show that they're together...
And that's the kind of assured, mature love I'd like in the future.
I know you'd say it's useless, to complain and go on and on about
her behind her back get not tell her off to the face...well, I dun really like conflict...anyway it's more satisfying to watch someone ruin herself...(I'm being mean and I know it). It's true that she upsets me...she's not the only one who's happy we're changing places. I'm rejoicing over it too!!! Only I'm not showing it as outwardly as she does!!! The other ppl around me are nice...4 out of 5 (ok, 1 and an uncertain, silent 3 out of 5 isn't bad either) is still okay, but I wonder why I have to be so hung up and upset about the 1/5 who's left ...It's mutual dislike. The further I am away from her, the better. I hope when we change places I'm far, far away from her...not being in the same group as me is not enough, I hope she sits at the diagonal end of the class!!!
What's it about me anyway, that so little ppl are actually willing to sit with me?? BO? Lol...it's not as if I have some contagious disease...I feel really upset about it when ppl (who never showed they dislike me or anything) purposely leave a huge gap btwn us when we sit on the floor...I've tried to be 'considerate' and sit away from them lately, knowing that they don't really like sitting near me...
I wish the class would pay more attention during Chinese!! What Wang Laoshi teaches about grammar and all that is really important, because to know Chinese isn't enough, one has to know proper, grammatically correct Chinese before you can put it to good use. I've always thought that way, and it's really jarring on the ears to hear the improper Chinese peppered with English that Singaporeans speak...though I do speak that way sometimes...I'm trying to improve on that...whenever I catch myself speaking that way, or hear fellow Singaporeans doing that, I feel really ashamed...yes, Chinese education here should be revamped. They've largely ignored teaching Chinese grammar; in primary school an onwards it was "I don't care if you know the grammar rules, I don't care if you're phrasing it correctly, as long as you can 'zaoju' for me in your tests and recite one whole sentence or passage correctly and pass your tests and exams I don't care if your language is really corrrect or not. Big deal if your sentences in your compositions are grammatically unsound, I'll just underline it and not explain why it's wrong". yeah. As a result most Chinese Singaporeans, at least this generation, can't speak or write proper, grammatical Chinese...that's what i feel.
But our class doesn't seem to care...I somehow sense that the general attitude is " Heck care what the teacher is saying, all the what-not about grammar...I know Chinese and am taking HCL, that's enough already isn't it? Grammar won't be tested to that extend in tests and exams, I'll just learn what I need to pass." Even if that's not what some of my classmates think...it's the impression I get from the general attitude during Chinese lessons...few people actually pay attention. There's so much he teaches us that can't be found in the shouce, and so much that few other Chinese teachers would teach.
