someone else’s story

as you’ve already know I’ve started Gekiken~

but what you and I both didn’t know is that my instructor is the only person in Singapore who flies to Japan each year to train for a week or so. you see gekiken is the predecessor to the famous Kendo, unlike Kendo it has lesser restrictions as to the places one can attack to gain points. so to practice this art, he flew all the way to japan on his own to learn it.

 

I’m impressed. please visit the website he created at www.gekiken.org!

 

 

Gekiken Kendo

recently I’ve decided to give Gekiken – Japanese fencing a try

it helped to focus my mind and strengthen my body

01 Talking Robot

this is [ 01 ] our new addition to the family!

a talking handphone robot!~  

all you need to do is key in the numbers

and press AC.

Eg. 1 5 *1

he’d say ”Omae wa” “baka” “da”.

sounds of a passing train

my favourite outing was walking from my grandmother's house 

to Holland V to buy Kinder Surpise  chocolates! 

once i was lucky to see the train pass below me

 while crossing this bridge~

what awaits us after the first tunnel?

a beautiful scenery ~

to fully enjoy my railway experience I walked most of the trail on the steel beams

but really, 

my fondest memory was of the people who passed by me and cheered me on

an old man looked at me and said 

"keep going girl as far as you can without falling off"

as he walked away he told his friend who nostalgic it was 

to see a child balancing on the beams

^^ that made my day

a scene i thought i'd never see in my life... 

girls in school uniforms walking on railway tracks.. 

once it was a brilliant railway connecting two countries

wow. we never see any overhanging cables any more in this city!

the end of our journey.

eclipse feat substantial – nujabes

This is for the things I don't say enough,
Waiting for the day we touch
Your lips to mine eclipse solar lunar
I'll see you soon but I'll talk to you sooner
This is for the things I don't say enough,
Waiting for the day we touch
Your lips to mine eclipse solar lunar
I'll see you soon but I'll talk to you sooner

Do you honestly believe I'd turn my back on you and leave my true love all alone in this cruel world?
When every single solitary day I do my best to secure a future for me and you girl
Cause it IS all about you, It's been all about you
Seconds feel like millenniums when I'm without you,
But my momma said there be days like this and ain't jack we can do
that's the way life is.

But it's been weeks since I felt your lips and I'm a fiend for my queen so I need a fix,
Only for now I'll settle for these talks on the phone,
But I cut my arm off for a moment alone,
With the one that I cherish whether in Rome or Paris, Amsterdam or Japan,
Please note that I am thinkin' bout my baby as much as humanly possible,
An' I know you're frustrated cause life has too many obstacles

This is for the things I don't say enough,
Waiting for the day we touch
Your lips to mine eclipse solar lunar
I'll see you soon but I'll talk to you sooner
This is for the things I don't say enough,
Waiting for the day we touch
Your lips to mine eclipse solar lunar
I'll see you soon but I'll talk to you sooner

My dear my dear my dear I know you're lonely
An' I know very well that it's hard and it hurts but there's no need to cry,
Cause I will be home soon and there ain't no limit to the things that we goin' do,
Whatever you want name it and I'll make it reality,
To see my baby's face nothin' means more then that for me.
This is far from flattery I ain't trying to impress you,
truth is I miss you and I'm hurtin' internally,
Sometimes these long trips feel like eternity,
But they say distance makes the heart grow fonder,
And in this case it's proven to be fact,
So I'll be back like a T100.

From blocks away you will see me comin',
With the biggest smile you ever seen on my face,
Cause even the toughest man on the planet needs lovin',
There's nothin' tame the wild like a woman's embrace.

This is for the things I don't say enough,
Waiting for the day we touch
Your lips to mine eclipse solar lunar
I'll see you soon but I'll talk to you sooner
This is for the things I don't say enough,
Waiting for the day we touch
Your lips to mine eclipse solar lunar
I'll see you soon but I'll talk to you sooner

Feels like it's been forever and I can't wait to see ya,
It's like wit' Bonnie and Clyde, Tony and Maria,
Romeo and Juliet, Akeem, Alicia.
Basically inseparable and it's more then sexual.

Withstand every shell Tell me don't you like the sound of that?
Got my heart racing an about to have a heart attack
Wantin' to be loved by you just you.
Theres nobody loves you like I do
And I ain't scared to show it
but these feelings are hard to put into words
and I'm a poet slash MC
So give me credit for expressing them
because writin' this was more nervous then I ever been

I had to get it out for when I'm unable to sit wit' you,
You have a little song that I wrote for you to listen to,
So you know the way that you're missin' me I'm missin you.
I wanna give you the world but for now I hope this'll do.

 

Tears i cried

始まりは何時でも終わりを感じさせるけど
色褪せない愛だって何処かにあると信じてる

過ぎ去りし日々はやがて二人に永遠の意味を刻むだろう

零れ落ちた 傷付けて君を困らせた涙の数×100の幸せ
作り出すよ必ず迷わずに誓うよ 天使の様なその笑みを守るから

どこまでも寄り添って夢を語り尽くせるなら
どんなに急な坂道もへこたれずに登れそうさ

降り出した雨に傘も差さずに 「すぐに晴れるよ」 と微笑んだ

零れ落ちる涙は君の中で眠り この空を青空に変えて行く
探している生きている意味とその理由を
なんとなく掴み始めているよ

零れ落ちる涙は君の中で眠り 透き通る穏やかな風になる
探している生きている意味とその理由を
少しずつ君が伝えて行くよ

Magic

Reading 안나라수마나라 and listening to their soundtrack was a very heart warming experience. Please support this wonderful creation by 하일권

"i'm not telling you to do only what you want."

"what i mean is you should do just as much as all the things you don't want with the things you want to do."

...

the magician is like young yun ai

he spoke with the exact words of the once young yun ai

childish, immature

and speaking with no sense of reality

..

still..

a little..

interesting..

the magicians words i did not want to remember them

but at the same time, it brought out the childish memories back

and what was forgotten

those important feelings have also awakened

just like magic
