French touch (2)

I know I had promised to translate the French song in my next entry. But, I must say after reading the translation of the song from Nikman, I still cannot write the proper translation of the song. However, I do get the gist of the song. The song is about the persona’s mother who, to my understanding had passed away. Because he did say something like this,

“How can I ever forget the way you look at me or the way you used to hug me...And the voice of yours who used to sing to me with much love and tender.”

In the chorus of the song, the persona told us the he still remembers his mother because he said,

     “I had a dream that we were on a journey together in our own world of peace and tranquillity. And each time I looked into your eyes, I felt the warmth of your love.”

“I know that there were so many times when you cried for me and also, so many nights on prayed to the God for me…As if a gift from the God, the smile on your face never seemed to fade”

At the end of the song, he acknowledged his mother’s sacrifices throughout her life,

“Mom, you gave me everything that you can ever give although you know that I can never return all the things that gave to me. And only God can repay your love and kindness to me.”

I love this song. And I just hope that one day I will be able to sing this song in French. And Nikman has to teach me. Haha. Ciao.

A friend of mine (http://dzan.blogspot.com) wrote an excellent poem about mothers.

It's in Malay, short but compact, effective.

Love the linguistic flow in it.

If not for copyrights issues I'd post it here. :)

Faisal, we all have 24 hours a day. And I don't need 24 hours to write an entry. I usually spend at around 10-15 minutes to write an entry. On some occassion, it can take up to half hour.

Btw, I usually blog during breakfast time (6-9a.m.). So, I can still spend the rest of the day studying for exam :)

I Hate Him.

I read a blog of my friend today and I have to say this, "I hate you!" There, I've said it. I can't believe that he would actually wrote something like that. I mean, I've heard him saying it, but to write it in his blog is totally unacceptable - at least to me. Though part of what he wrote is true, he still has no rights whatsoever to write those things.

Bad Bee. Bad Bee.

Everyone seems to be talking about exams nowadays. Well, you can’t blame them since exam is just around the corner. Currently I am revising for Principles of Marketing and Management with a bee hovering in front of me (well, actually, I am typing this entry). Not a very conducive environment indeed, I must say. For some strange reasons I seem to attract five bees into my room this week alone. It is amazing to see how these bees can take just 2 seconds to come into my room and the whole day to get out. Why is it so difficult for them to find the window to fly out of my room remains a mystery to me. Here I am staring at the bee and keep telling it to go to the right, where the window is. Sometimes, I even wonder whether it is the same bee everyday or not. Speaking of which, (not totally related but bees do remind me of airplanes) AirAsia is going to sign a new sponsorship $5.6million deal with Manchester United (as in the football club). To be honest, I don’t really see the connection be...

Monkey Business.

Malaysian Members of the Parliament (MP) are a disgrace to the country! That is all I have to say after watching how those MPs behaving like a bunch of idiots. It is a wasted effort by Malaysians having to queue up to elect them during General Election only to see them acting like MONKEYS in the Parliament. I know it is normal for MPs to shout at each other over certain issues, but it is OK if they are shouting at each other fighting for the cause of people who voted for them. Malaysians voted for you because they want you to represent their voice in the Parliament. In the end, will the shouting benefits the people? NO, because the real issue that was debated at first was dropped at the end of the shouting as if it was a meaningless issue. It is not a surprise to see why it took the Parliament a very long time to pass a bill only to realize later that the bill has lots of overlooked loopholes. Then, the people will protest the new bill and they will have to bring it back to the Parliam...
