Its a saturday and I'm still at home?? but that's really quite the norm nowadays... i'm not so young to be gadding about in the middle of a saturday afternoon in orchard or cityhall or some other presumptuous place; that can get a little too tiring for these old bones of mine ;p Well anywayz, I think I've completed most of my chores already... but I've still got today's papers to read and I'm quite determined to flip through it at least once as some sort of penance for my lack of effort to keep myself up-to-date with the affairs of the world. We've had a change of premier (Goh C.T -> Lee H.L) and not even a peep about it here on my bloggy. National Day came and went.. so did the sg idol auditions. Now it's the olympics... extensive media coverage EVRYWHERE; tv, radio, newspapers, internet. It's really such a big deal isnt it? Wonder why... LOL

Regarding the navbar thingy, I've finally found a way to make it disappear. hehe. But of course, that's after much headache and some online detective-work. Frankly speaking, I think this week has been a tough one although if you ask me why, i can't exactly say (without making it seem as if the end of the world is approaching). Isnt it like that sometimes?? Anyhow, I've managed to resuscitate my dear old bloggy template and I promise to update as often as I can (*fingers-crossed*).

I've been listening to alot of malay ballads lately (feeling mat emo agaknyer..) and the one I've decided to play on my bloggy is Ruth Sahanaya's Maafkan Kerpergianku. It's really such a blatant, over-blown weepy of a song but then Ruth has got such a terrific voice, I dont mind being blown away by her... ;)

Ruth Sahanaya - Maafkan Kepergianku

Tak ada lagi kata yang terucap, (There are no more words worth mentioning)
Jangan ada lagi titis airmata (Let there be no more tears flowing)
Di saat kepergianku (At that moment when I am leaving)
untuk selamanya. (for eternity)

Maafkan caraku ini (Forgive me my ways)
yang tak ingin kau terluka; (for I do not wish to give you pain)
karena diriku (because this heart of mine)
terlalu mencintaimu. (is too much in love with you)

Maafkan kepergianku (Forgive me my leaving)
yang inginkan kau bahagia, (desiring to see you in happiness)
tanpa diriku (to live life without me)
untuk selamanya. (for eternity)

ALRITE.. i admit the lyrics are corny and they're even cornier in english. But what the hey, Ruth is too divalicious for me to ignore~!
