was passing by the warehouse on the bus and i saw loads of people with the trademark white and gold stripe plastcic carrier.. they having a sale up to 70% off!! i had to go and today's the last day, so i went..
bought 2 pairs, cos its the last day, some of the sizes dont have le.. hur hur.. but total was only 30 something bucks!
Tohoshinki as been going around with their solo activities lately..
Junsu's preparing for his musical debut. He is acting as Mozart in a stage musical..! haha.. the original musical was in Austrian.. Then got different versions.. Got Japanese and now Korean.. pretty cool.. the role is played by 4 different stage actors, including Junsu, over different shows. the video is of one of the actors singing one of the songs from the musical.. the chorus sounds so good.. trying to imagine junsu singing the song in his dolphin voice.. ahaha.. hope he can do it!! hwaighting!!
So Yeong shared her testimony on Saturday.. Saturday's creative music was so touching i almost cried.. heard there were tears flowing..
That's So Yeong in the pink cardi, with her sister So Hee, and frens Jolly and Judith who are attending our church now..
I thank God for their presence in our church, bringing us much inspiration, joy and laughter..
Sunday was tiring, went to St Andrew's Cathedral for API Practicum... funniest was when we returned to Charis, the church fellowship was still going on.. and many many pple danced.. including Pastor Kian Cheng and Uncle Aaron..! oh man!! they were really onz..
Went for Matte's farewell dinner at a bistro at Singapore Flyer on Sunday.. the company was great.. seriously.. discovered some new things abt our new and old frens over dinner..
it was my first time at singapore flyer, so i was like amazed at wat i saw.. the ferrari race car!
didnt know that kelvin was so good at pool.. wah, never judge a book by its cover.. oops!
me and wanlin.. cham, my face so round...
some table photos:
met helen for lunch at bugis junction today.. haha.. funny really.. learnt alot abt korean culture from her.. we ate at yoshinoya (she's korean and we're having japanese).. but this girl, dont see she petite, but she has quite an appetite.. after our meal, she introduced me to korean munchies at B1.. she bought dok boki (pic) and something like fried intestine stuffed with 冬粉.. i prefer the dok boki tho.. chewy chewy one.. dok boki is rice cake in sweet & spicy sauce.. often see it on tv, finally got to taste it today.. helen still prefers korea's dok boki.. haha, hometown taste better..
and how can a post by me not mention tohoshinki?? haha, here are the CD covers for Jae and Yoochun's new single Colors ~ Melody & Harmony.. love the song.. hehe.. should i buy or not lei...?
9095 was nice... but the shots were abit too far i almost cant tell who was who..
Purple Line!! energetic and cool choreography man...
Mirotic & Heart, Mind & Soul
Mirotic's costume change was a stroke of creativity and ingenuity.. how on the earth did they change during that short moment of non-singing sia..? really fast.. haha..
I was never familiar with the song Heart, Mind & Soul until i heard it here.. i think its one of their earlier japanese songs.. i went to check out their lyrics:
Romaji ( furui eiga noyouna koi ga dekitara ii na ) sou itte tere te wa warau kimi
itsumono boku tokitara shabette bakari dakedo sou , demone konya wa tokubetsu sa
oh why ... kokoro hamata karamawari kanjite my heart mind and soul oh why ... sonna ni sun da hitomi de boku wo miru no ? nanimo ie nakunaruyo
furui eiga noyouna serifu wa ie nai kedo sou , demo ne konya wa tokubetsu sa ?
oh why ... kotoba hamata too mawari todokete my true love to you oh why ... sonna ni nureta hitomi de boku wo miru no ? nani wo omotte iru no
donna koi mo owari ga kuru toiu kedo futari no kizuna hakonomama kienai don't ask me why (don't ask me why?) why? (why?) why? (why?) why?
oh why ... kokoro hamata karamawari kanjite my heart mind and soul oh why ... konya wa boku ga mahou wo kakete ageru kimi ga hitotsu matataku tabini boku wa hitotsu negai wo kanaete ikuyo kagayaku ( futarino ) heart mind and soul
Translation When I said that I wanted to love like people in old movies You were embarrassed and laughed You always tell me that I’m the one But, isn’t today special?
Oh why... Why does my heart feel troubled? My heart, mind and soul Oh why... are you looking at me with such fair eyes? I’m unable to speak
I can’t talk the way they do in old movies But, isn’t today still special?
Oh why... Why do I try to change the words? My true love to you Oh why... are you looking at me with such fair eyes? I’m unable to think
Love always comes to an end But our destiny will not fade away
Don' t ask me why (Don' t ask me why?) Why?(Why?) Why?(Why?) Why?
Oh why... Why does my heart feel troubled? My heart, mind and soul Oh why... I will make tonight be magical Each time you blink I will make a wish come true Two (shining people) Heart, mind and soul
I love the part where Changmin sang Why.. Why, then transit into Junsu's part and then Jaejoong's part towards the end.. ahh.. The lyrics quite emo, but think the translation not so accurate, so a bit hard to comprehend.. but their singing nothing to say liao, yunho's really improved.. haha
Nobody Knows & Taxi
Jae's boots! haha, so bling.. and his hair..! when i first heard this live, i thought they lipsynced..! cos they sound so good, until i realised some weaker parts then i realised, they are singing live.. they r so good they sounded like it was recorded.. haha
Taxi has always been my favourite song from The Secret Code album.. ballad ballad ballad.. but the live did not help me solve the mystery about whether Jae was the one who did the high note harmony for Yoochun's part at the end...
Forever Love
I had the interlude after the bridge of this song as my ringtone for a while until i changed it recently.. i love the melody of this song..
Ending + Bolero
i had goosebumps when the intro of bolero played and junsu started singing.. what an irony as the boys were saying thank you in korean and this concert was held less than a mth before all the trouble started.. its kind of heart-wrenching..
i just hope that the boys can continue to perform together in the future.. Always keep the faith!
It's been a busy weekend.. haa, many updates.. which should i start with first..?? chronological order then:
1. Open Air Rally
it is the first time i've attended tabernacle church's open air rally.. for 3 nights, charis' field was filled with people who came to hear the gospel.. World in Crisis, Hope in God.. the tabernacle choir and gospel singers and gospel band made music that touched the hearts of people..

[Micky] It's okay to cry at times when you want to Don't be unreasonable When a tear dries up, a smile will light up your face Look, you are already laughing
[Xiah] The future is confusing But we are not defeated, we desire courage
[Hero] Every day and night with you I take your hand Every day every night everywhere Now we feel connected and verified Now, let the story begin
[U-know] You turn away to avoid my intentions But I like you When we are separated, we can share something Yes..if we have these feelings
[Xiah] I cannot say "goodbye" to yesterday The unsteady hours are wasted
[Hero] Every day and night with you The heat and sparks form without cooling down Every day every night everywhere Now our contact increases Now, you and I begin
[Max] I am like reality, (Baby I need your love, need your touch) (Oh baby I need your love, need you touch, baby) In the darkness of the night I am scared, (You tell me now) But I'm not alone
[Hero] Every day and night with you I take your hand Every day every night everywhere Now we feel connected and verified Now, let the story begin

English Translation
Right now, somewhere, someone is in pain is feeling lonely can’t sleep at night is going through all of these. Until we find the light, let’s get together so that we can sleep. That melody and harmony and love.
For someone’s sake we are here. Although we can only achieve small things, even just for 1 second, we still want to stop all the tears in this world and turn them all into smiles.
Keep loving, and keep walking, we've been believing that we will be able to convey these overflowing feelings. Even before we were born, we knew that we would meet, and that we would be searching for our dreams together.
[RAP]
The moment when we are able to compose the sparkling sound, we will be able to forget all the sorrow. Melody and harmony. You are always by our side, giving me courage and hope.
Thank you, thank you forever. These glittering feelings, to you You taught me how to support each other to watch over each other and that I’m not lonely.
The love that was piled up is riding on the melody, I want to continue conveying that love forever and ever.
Starting from here.
Keep loving, and keep walking, we have been believing that we will be able to convey these overflowing feelings. Thank you, thank you forever. These glittering feelings, to you (???) The love that was piled up is riding on the melody, I want to continue conveying that love forever and ever.
