Oh Relinquish, Songbird
Been listening to this song. Its a classic, based on a poem by a famous malaysian poet. about a bird, a garuda, a chinese princess and a rome - it was spelt as rum so i guess its rome - prince
you can read it here http://azanin.net/pages/poem-jentayu.htm
its in malay =D yes,surprised surprised.
haha. heard the song when mom turned on the radio.
so soothing. I feel so inspired.
so here's the lyrics translated to english.
Sadness glistens on your beak Coated with a million feelings The nobility of your heart Your sparkling goodness driven on the vast shore of the world The flanks of storm you explore Through the clouds you bring news of ( the one she ) misses Your love fights against cruelty and injustice
Jentayu wings broken, use beak as a walking stick Jentayu beak broken, use elbow as a walking stick Jentayu elbow broken, use chin as a walking stick Jentayu chin broken, use claws as walking stick
Lend to all your heart
Lend to all your elegance
ok it sounds verycorny in English. (not to mention super weird) well it sounds smooth and marvelous in malay since its a story/poem.
ANW.
ok an update finally. hvnt been updating coz I've been busy - with sch. and not to mention that I've been staying over at aunt's place - in hougang- for some weeks now
alot actuali happened. so this is goonnna be a long post. like yay.
Mr Dinesh (yes, THAT Dinesh) took me, Faiz and Nizam out for a boys night out-ish last fri. more of a dinner though.
and its fun coz Nizam + Mr Dinesh = Funny Fun F***ers
we get to listen to random arguments. and since Mr Dinesh is our friend and not a sec sch teacher, words and vulgarities doesnt get us detention animore.
which Mr Dinesh uses in frequent doses as well. it is fun when teachers aren't restricted to what they can say.
and wow, updates on Canberra sec shocked us like crazy.
and then we found ourselves cruising through AngMoKio and Bishan amidst the super loud crunk/hiphop/reggae/rap/pop hindi songs. How loud?
lets say everyone that was walking was practically looking into the car.
I had to leave early coz of jamming while they continued on to watch Paranormal Activity.
which I would like to digress over here
I watch a few scenes from jimmy's downloaded version. it was scary if i was watching it in the threatres.
love the oujia board on fire part. damn cooll. makes me wonder how crazy it is, since its based on a true story.
brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
and they hv 2 different endings. one is the 'mainstream' ending while the other one is the real ending.
and so, Jamming was awesome. first original titled "Mousetrap and Death Calls" its a song which John was inspired by Hamlet.
so ppl cant say we are jus some typical band playing 'love songs'
its sounds great. especially my emo part HHAHAHAHAHAHA
theres jamming tmr too. sooooooo looking forward to this.
ok moving on, the nxt day(aftr dinner with Mr Dinesh that is) there was another 'dinner'. except we were fooled.
it was in Canberra sec now. yea, 2 days of canberra sec. gahh
Apparently when CSSB said dinner, they meant CAMP dinner. NOT DINNER WITH NICE BUFFET/COURSE MEAL. coz yes, it was during their camp.
but more than that, it was meant for Mr Lee inevitable goodbye. (notice i said inevitable) Mr Lee was a father to us all man.
but its ok. i wonder how the new instructor is gonna be like. like hoohoo. i hope its someone stricter.
and we had fun playing the one word/one phrase/one sentence game aftr that. jus us seniors!
with Auzaie blurting nonsense like "i... am... a... flasher!" and "i.. am.. GAY!" random blurts of words can be enticing.
ok watever.
and I thought i'd like to share this:
a shoe shop in admiralty is called KARA. dammit so undeserving lah ok.
and Angela said something in class which made me super suspicious of stuffs.
Angela: eh Tom! Someone said something to me about you in FC1 jus now! Tom: huh? what? WHAT? WHAAAAAATT? OIE WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!! Angela: *laughs* *gossips* *probabli telling Is about it*
hmmm and they kept looking at the other side. hmmmmmmmm..... suspicious suspicious.
