Fairy tales?

Fairy tales...
Do they happen?
I seriously don't have a clue....
I want to go to the beach....
Get some fresh air, and perhaps a calm mind....
A break from all of this.

Par-Kour!

Attended my first parkour session today. =) I am really glad I did cause it showed me how un-fit I am since high school. Swimming is still fine but running around and doing jumps, it pretty much makes me tired.

Warmups was 10 push ups (I'm really bad at this), front and back crawling, standing hops over some seats (Imagine those seats at Stadium Tun Fatimah =P).

After that it was introductory to Parkour!

Did some wall jumps (just vaults, imagine a mixture of standing high jump and running jumps)



This is apparently a 'cat pass' in Manchester. Its just a name =) (Might be called differently somewhere else)



Another wall variation



Wall climbing! Didn't succeed the first time I try (Even with my height, it was 3~4 meters high I think). Bad fingers and hand strengh but I manage it after several attempts =). Gets pretty easy one you keep doing it. Got a bit of bruises on my palm though. It is to be expected! ^^

The only problem was when I was trying to get down on the other side. I am acophobic you see so I am afraid of heights. Wend well the first few seconds but I let gravity took hold of me too much (instead of gently lowering myself) and slammed into the wall (hands still holding the bar so I AM okay!) Maybe with more practise?

Did some wall kicking and hops as well. Frankly speaking I really like this thing. Looking forward to my next training.

Meanwhile its time to train my body strength!

6 years ago

6 years ago, I was very into this song. Mou sukoshi or A little bit more sang by Saori Atsumi for the ED of Midori No Hibi. Pretty obsess I was till I tried auditioning for Talentime with this song. I knew I wasn't going to pass it but it was just for fun. =)

Now in the year 2010 as I listen back to the song, it still makes me cry. I love the meaning of this song, just a little bit more closer to your heart.

Enjoy!

Mou Sukoshi, Mou Sukoshi by Saori Atsumi

soshite kizuita toki ni kangaeteru no wa kimi no koto de
sore ga sugoku hazukashikattari sugoku iyadattari omoete
sore wa boku ga kimochi o tsutaeru koto ga kowai kara de

atama de osae tsukete mo kokoro wa dousuru koto mo dekinakute
autabi ni kimi ni satorarenai youni
itsumo to kawarinai youni hanashiteru tsumori de
yoyuu mo nakute kurushikunatta boku wa kimi ni uso o tsuiteshimau dakedo

mou sukoshi mou sukoshi kimi no kokoro ni chikazuitara
mou sukoshi mou sukoshi ima kono toki ga kienai youni
douka kamisama boku ni yuuki o kudasai

soshite omoi agunete mo kakkou warui dake no boku de

mou sukoshi mou sukoshi ima kono toki ga kienai youni

Translation

When I noticed I was thinking about you...
I felt very embarassed
And I really hate that feeling
That's because I'm afraid to convey my feelings

Even though I suppress it in my head I can't do anything about my heart
I don't let you notice it when we meet
So it can be normal how I plan to talk to you

To act so composed has started to hurt
Lying to you I will put away... but

A little more... A little more...
If I can get closer to your heart
A little more... A little more...
So that this moment won't end

Please God, give me courage

When I'm alone with my bad crazy thoughts
I worry about what you think of me
I'm sorry I stepped forward to try to let you know

I'm not myself, I don't like the fog around my heart
Depending on someone else makes me run away... but

A little more... A little more...
If I can get beside you
A little more... A little more...
Night does not continue once dawn comes
So wipe away your tears when you're feeling lonely

The glowing moon floats out into the heavens
I'm not stronger or more confident
See me smiling, look, OK?

A little more... A little more...
If I can get beside you
A little more... A little more...
Night does not continue once dawn comes

A little more... A little more...
If I can get closer to your heart
A little more... A little more...
So that this moment won't end

Please God, give me courage

2nd Semester

19 hours of lectures a week~
19 hours of lectures a week~
Skip one hour and you'll be a goner,
19 hours of lectures a week!

(Singing to the tune of a childhood song *Can't remember the title*)

Wee! 2nd semester is here!

Gosh, finally get over with my first semester. Examinations are over. Hope I did well (2nd upper and fingers cross for 1st!) A bit worried about People and Organization essay but I think it should be fine. (I don't really know the marking scheme but I gave it my all!)

So to talk a bit about my modules for this semester,

1. Management in Society - Basically a Sociology Study of Society (The lecturer was psyching us up with 40% fail rate last year. Ouch!)

2. Fundamentals of Management Accounting (Budgets, Variance etc! Oh how I miss A levels and Mr. K)

3. Law in a Management Context (My Law Module , having quite a lot of solicitors and barister to come and give us talks, but mostly focus on corporate law)

4. The Modern Corporation (A sister module to P&O, finally I get to see my P&O professor!)

5. Financial Decision Making (Corporate Finance etc)

6. The Nature of Information Systems (Seems like a com history to me, will be having that on Thursday!)

So far so good, I learn to hate and love the modules at the same time =D

A time to write into the past.

Today's post shall be in Bahasa Malaysia (I still rather call it Bahasa Melayu though). Well with the exception of this though =) Just expressing my thoughts

Setiap hari aku menjengguk diluar jendela aku yang sunyi dan sepi, aku melihat pelbagai ragam manusia. Tak mengira waktu, mereka bermain, bersantai dan menikmati kehidupan. Di dalam kuliah ku, telefon bimbit dan komputer riba dikeluarkan. Namun begitu, tujuan mereka bukanlah untuk melihat nota yang telah diberikan oleh para pengajar university tetapi untuk menikmati dan membazir masa mereka di dunia cyber.

Takala aku balik ke dalam bilik ku, terasa rindu di hati terhadap tanah air ku. Manusia dan ragam mereka yang tersendiri yang ku lihat setiap hari di sana, walaupun tidak sempurna namun masih mempunyai identiti tersendiri.

Tidak sangka tanah airku yang ku sangka aman (walaupun bisa politik masih wujud dan sentimen kaum masih menjadi masalah), huru-hara dibuatnya kerana satu perkataan.Walaupun sesuci mana perkataan tersebut, isu ini seharusnya dibawa ke meja perbincangan dan bukannya diselesaikan dengan keganasan. Malaysia yang dilihat sebagai sebuah negara yang aman dan wujudnya perpaduan kaum kini dilihat sebagai sebuah negara yang tidak mempunyai kebebasan demokrasi dan suara. Laksana peristiwa 13 Mei mengulangi dirinya.. Mahukah sejarah mengulangi dirinya?

Mahukah kita melihat darah rakan kita melimpahi tanah yang kita cintai? Sesungguhnya tahap toleransi kita semakin rendah. Kita sebagai manuia kini menjadi seperti lalang, semakin tinggi, semakin bongkak. Tidak kah kita seharusnya bersyukur kepadaNya? Atas nikmat yang telah diberi, status Merdeka yang telah dicapai dan hidup yang aman dan makmur selama 50 tahun?

Bahasa hanyalah medium perantaraan antara manusia. Mengapakah kita harus dianggap istimewa daripada seluruh dunia. Adakah tradisi dan dunia salah ataupun kita yang berada di dalam gelap, bagai katak dibawah tempurung?

Janganlah peristiwa ini menjadi satu pertumpahan darah dibawah nama 'jihad'. Selesaikan konfrontasi dengan cara yang beradab. Bukankah kita manusia abad ke 21?

Was listening to The Shire by Howard Shore, reminds me a lot of The Wandering Hobbits, or maybe its the same? Into instrumental songs lately. I guess I'm back to my old self, the sentimental, gentle, peaceful Adrian.

Anyway on another note, here's something.

-Untitled-

Calmly the snowflakes falls,
Unto the Earth, returning to its Mother,
Gently it caress the soil in which men wounded,
Soothing its pain, forgetting what which.

Gently the raindrop falls,
Unto the Earth, cleansing whats done,
Renewing the soils, Revitalising them,
Creating a new world, yet another cycle.

Calmly the wind blows,
Unto the Earth, gently breeze feeling,
Sweeping away the painful memories,
On one so dear, forgetting the past.

Gently the sun shines,
Unto the Earth, giving hope to mankind,
Repairing Mother Nature's garden,
For all to see, for all to cherish

Keep Holding on~

It started with this little adorable video ...
But it fills the cup till it overflows...
Squabbles , quarrels with infinite range,
But if two work together, hand in hand,
Things will work out just fine,
Between me and you.
