Strangers ~ Petronas 2012 Raya Commercial

as usual, petronas commercials are always touching! eventhough allahyarhamah yasmin ahmad is not with us anymore, the commercial is still meaningful. eventhough i never been in uzbek, but i think i know how it felt like to celebrate ramadhan or raya in a foreign land. and when you've been there, you usually will love your country more. by watching this commercial, i learn to love and appreciate malaysia even more.

it's true, nothing beats your homeland. as a malay proverb directly translated by me, gold rain in other country, hailstones in our own, always better at our own! haha, it sound so much better in malay, hujan emas di negeri orang, hujan batu di negeri sendiri, baik lagi di negeri sendiri. we are very fortunate to live in this peaceful country. i'm not saying this because the campaign that being around lately for independence day this 31 august. i'm saying this because it's what i truly felt all these times.

ps: i'm proud to be malaysian! and maybe this wish is coming a little late, since everyone had already mentioning it everywhere, i still want to say it here. congratulation dato' lee chong wei! you did your best and all of us could see it. thank you so very much!

raya shopping

metrojaya raya sale at picc

last thurday, my officemates and i went to the metrojaya raya sale at picc. we went there during our lunch break. as usual, it was packed with people doing their raya shopping. i only bought a remote control car for my nephew's birthday. i was actually looking for my 'work shoes' and they have only limited choices of female shoes. in my opinion, they have more man stuffs than woman stuffs.

kak ala is buying kerepek

and now i'm at kampung, we continued our raya shopping. but it's mainly my sister, kak ala that did the shopping. i was only looking for tudung bawal  to wear with my baju raya (alhamdulillah, the tailor managed to finish my baju raya). my baju raya is black in colour anyway. why black? because black can make you look slim, huhu... kak ala is looking for her family's clothes and the theme is peach while kak sya's family theme is orange. told them both that their theme is nearly the same.

we're having fun here!

by the way, my kampung has now became kampung tanpa wayar 1 malaysia, 1 malaysia wireless village and currently i'm using the facility. i was quite shocked when i first knew about this. but i have to go to the second floor to get better reception. if i'm now mistaken, the signal came from our kampung mutipurpose hall. since my home is quite near to the hall, we could get the reception. okay, that's all  for now. tomorrow, i may continue my scarf hunting. until later...

[SONG] Crystal Kay ~ Hard To Say

 

Wanna know what you're feeling kimi no koto
Baby u know I'm just keepin it real
Doushite is it hard to say
Kimochi wo kiku no ga kowakute

Wanna know what you're feeling

Baby u know I'm just keepin it real

Why is it hard to say

I'm scared to ask you about your feelings

Konna ni kimochi ni kizuitara

Doushite futsuu ni kakusenai

Koko kara wo kimeru no wa friendship or love

Should I tell you baby what's on your mind?

If I noticed the feelings this much

Why can't I keep it hidden as usual

From here on, deciding on friendship or love

Should I tell you baby what's on your mind?

Kizuiteru my sign? Wanna be right by your side

Hoka no onnanoko no APIIRU CHEKKU suru

Are you messin' with my mind? Sweet lies wa iranai

I'm for real dare ni mo toraretakunai

Do you notice my sign? Wanna be right by your side

You do an appeal check on the other girls

Are you messin' with my mind? I don't need sweet lies

I'm for real I don't want you to be taken away by anyone

Kono mama furimawasanaide

Baby u know I'm just keepin' it real

Doushite is it so hard to say

Anata no kimochi wo oshiete yo

I'm like this, not showing off

Baby u know I'm just keepin' it real

Why is hard to say

Tell me your feelings

Mawari no tomodachi tell me hoka ni

Motto ii hito out there for me

Wakatte iru keredo he's the only one

Yuzurenai I will make you see

The friends around me tell me that

There are better guys out there for me

Though I know that he's the only one

I can't give up, I will make you see

When I'm with you, I get so shy

Suki nante ienai, I get so weak, it's hard to speak

Kanjou ga PIIKU it's like hide & seek

Are you messin' with my mind? Regret shitakunai

I'm so for real dare ni mo toraretakunai

When I'm with you, I get so shy

I can't say that I love you i get so weak, it's hard to speak

Your feelings peek, it's like hide & seek

Are you messin' with my mind? I don't want to regret it

I'm so for real I don't want you to be taken away by anyone

[RAP]

Do I like him as a friend

If I tell him will it end (hanasetaku naru no)...

Does he look at me the same

Does he see it as a game (kono mama de iru no?)...

Do i like him as a friend

If i tell him will it end (will he want to leave?)

Does he look at me the same

Does he see it as a game (will we remain like this?)

ps: the first song i know by crystal kay is 'candy.' she sings a lot of opening or ending for anime. for example, the song 'motherland' for 'full metal alchemist' and 'konna ni chikaku de' for 'nodame cantabile.' obviously, she's mixed! i love most of her songs and also her dance moves. when the mood struck, i follow her dance move by watching her videoclips, hehe.. oh, the lyrics and translations are courtesy from corichan~~
