Just Not Tonight

Just Not Tonight 　

On this starry night
I want to remain silent
So you will miss me
More than other usual nights
I am going to climb onto my paradise
Because i have a date with myself

Wish i could tell someone
How i miss you
Every day and night
But when i look into your eyes
Even i am trying hard
Often i can't seem to tell the truth

My love for you is getting thicker
More than the capacity of my heart
Why not give me a call
Tell me you miss my voice
But i am not going to call
Just, just not tonight

*******中文*******

星星一閃一閃亮晶晶
跟平時的夜晚不一樣
今晚我決定保持沉默
讓你感受沒我的夜晚
我要獨自進入我世界
我和我自己有個約會

很想跟全世界的人說
我有多麽的牽挂著你
夢中的你也不曾離開
每當我看見你的眼睛
無論把自己如何壓抑
都無法把真心話拿出

對你的愛就越來越濃
簡直超出正常的水平
爲什麽你不嘗試找我
說你很想聼我的聲音
不會主動打電話給你
至少至少不會是今晚

******日本語******

星が輝 くこの夜に
俺は黙るつも りだ
君恋 しがるだ ろう
 いつもと 違うの夜
自らの世との約束　
一人で登 っていく

誰かに言いたいが
常に君の事 を思う
起床から寝るまで
君の目さえ見た ら
抑 えよう として も
素直になれないよ

通常より君への愛
も っと濃 く に なる
俺に電話で もせよ
君の声を聞かせて
話 しはかけないよ
この夜 だけだ ろう

Remember to Forget | Forget to Remember

Remember to Forget | Forget to Remember

Once upon a Spring time, I remember,
How naive you were,
Together with me wandering around the world,
Hunting for the ideal land to settle down,
However, the map was left at the foothill,
Both of us were lost in the jungle of Love,
Our forever was in oblivion,
We could not find the direction to True Love,
Who had not comprehended enough?
Forget brought us hatred.

We have forgotten our mutual promises,
That we planned to grow old together,
We could not change what had already been fixed,
Neither we could get out of the labyrinth,
You did not properly rub away the tears,
Sea of tears is now burying the mainland,
I always blame myself for not being sensitive,
Nothing is filled in the blank of my life yet,
The familiar scent we liked is fading away,
Remember is our good friend to rely on for reminiscence.

Remember to forget our previous mistakes,
Time only value the current's breath,
Open the arms for future's love songs,
Happily appreciate what being painted in our lives,
Forget to remember the shooting stars at night,
Enjoy the current breeze with blue skies,
Uniquely define your own meaning for life,
Never let the joyful moment gone wastefully,
Do not forget where you have hidden the smile,
Remember to take it out when we catch up again.

記得忘記 · 忘記記得

記得曾幾何時的春天
那一年天真無瑕的你
跟著我一起穿越山水
尋找傳説中的樂悠窩
地圖竟然留在山腳下
我們在愛情裏迷路了
你遺忘了我們的永恒
我找不到我們的真心
到底誰的領悟不夠重
忘記製造了許多憎恨

忘記了那轟烈的承諾
曾經打算過白頭到老
我們還是敵不過宿命
登不上愛情的最高峰
你當時沒把眼淚搽乾
淚海漸漸的淹沒陸地
自責的我常耿耿於懷
茶飯不思空白了雙手
昔日味道被歲月摧毀
記得把回憶起死回生

記得忘記以往的過失
勇敢接受未來的挑戰
時間也只認得眼前人
不要辜負上天的安排
忘記記得從前的美好
腳踏實地的享受人生
認真了解生存的意義
不要浪費快樂的時光
別忘記笑容藏在那裏
下次見面記得拿出來

From Dr. Phyo to Brain Drain Crisis

From Dr. Phyo to brain drain crisis.

Dr. Phyo, from Myanmar, speaks fluent English. He knows some useful words in Bahasa Malaysia as well, such as ada baik? (feeling good?), sakit (pain), ingat makan ubat (remember to take the medicine), rehat banyak (rest more), etc.

You may ask why i know Dr. Phyo? Actually i went to a clinic, it's apparently operated by Malaysian, however i was told by a nurse when she was handing me a medical card that the locum doctor of the evening was Dr. Phyo. The surname Phyo, sounds like Burmese, i knew it because most of my ex-workers at a construction site in Singapore were Burmese and Thais. So it was not a shock until i talked to Dr. Phyo and knew his nationality.

Disappointed to know that Malaysia has reached such a level that both foreign labours and expats are needed in the country. Disappointed? Why?? How come??? This is not a fact worth to be proud of. Instead, it's a shame. Shame because we have hundreds of brilliant students scored straight As every year but their ambitions to be a doctor smashed by the quota system set by the government. Most of them either couldn't get a place in any Malaysian university to study medicine or given other choices (engineering, bio-science, pharmacy, etc), have no choice but to accept other offers to study abroad. Many of these overseas qualified doctors are reluctant to come back serving the country. Eventually, the problem - shortage of doctors is getting worse until we have to import qualified doctors from our neighboring country, Myanmar. Sigh...

I am pretty sure the affected profession is not doctor only, we are, in fact, facing a severe brain drain crisis at the moment in all professional positions because i was just informed that few Malaysian teachers had decided to teach in Singapore next year. What's wrong? We can't close one eye letting this problem becoming worst. We really need a change!

p.s. : No worry i am 90% recovered. :)

Phyo醫生可以講一口流利的英文

他還懂一些簡單日常用的馬來語

爲何我這一次會去看醫生不重要

重點是他是一名緬甸的專業醫生

我國已到了需要專業外勞的境界

其實我國真的有很多優秀的學生

但他們始終還不能夠進入醫科系

大部分的優秀生外流到國外讀醫

就這樣我國面臨醫生短缺的問題

嚴重到要向鄰國的醫生招手問候

看來不止醫生這個專業受到挑戰

各行業的人才外流也不是新鮮事

我國簡直可以被形容為臥虎藏龍

擁有一個可以養育人才的大舞臺

舞臺經營者的無能緊逼人才跳槽

豐衣足食的大馬竟然面臨人才荒

需要引進大量廉價次等專業人才

這塊肥肉將會慢慢的被外人分割

不可以再閉一眼看待這個課題了

我們要一起站出來支持改朝換代

FuFu Back in Malaysia

What have i done in a month since i am back home from Germany? First two weeks were busy exploring some random picked places and of course my hometown. The other two weeks were slowly spent at home due to my health condition. Officially i have one good excuse to recharge more bullets.

Being away from the country more than two years, honestly speaking, Malaysia has improved a lot. Many new and major projects had and being constructed around Kuala Lumpur and its suburb (Klang Valley), decentralising the people, create job opportunities, commercial activities and provide leisure purpose. Yet, the infrastructure is not effectively and progressively integrated with these projects. The latest proposed MRT project is not comprehensive enough as well. Even though the bus system has been upgraded, and flyovers that sprang out everywhere in the capital should not the solution to ease the traffic problem!

Alright, i have never thought my hometown could be that beautiful through my eyes. Bet we still have plenty of unpolished gems everywhere in the country. Really hope everyone of us could appreciate what we have here.

It's time to seriously start planning my future. I cannot afford to waste my precious time. Have to accelerate to get my dream pursued.

The Dream Destination | Egypt - Part 2

"Who doesn't want to visit Egypt?"

Cut the story short. If you ask whether i want to go back again to Egypt or not. I will, without pausing for any hesitation say 'No'. Yes, Egypt indeed has a lot more to offer than those being promoted by the tourism industry. Somehow after visiting the main historical sites, such as Cairo, Nile River, Giza Pyramids, Alexandria, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Luxor and White Desert, a heavy conclusion came across that i am done with Egypt.

Don't get me wrong. I am not discouraging you guys to visit Egypt. Just, if you want to have a pleasant trip there, the safest bet is to take the local travel package in your home country. Or if you want to know what travel adventures i had got there, go explore yourself carefully.

已有七千年的老古跡

經過多代的文明進化

熬過風吹雨打及地震

還可留下壯觀的面貌

社會卻遇上醜陋敗風

科技吹毀了老城面貌

凌亂跨髒了生活旋律

態度侮辱了高傲歷史

當進步在過去中徘徊

平民還是走不進現代

社會與垃圾融入一體

厭倦把戲又重復上演

貧窮與富裕相差太大

窮人不能夠填飽肚子

中階級浪費太多食物

富裕的生活你看不到

沒有完善的管制制度

就像一位漂亮的女生

沒氣質沒矜持沒儀態

看了會轉身嘆氣離開

埃及的旅遊指數很高

因不能夠暢快豪享受

遊歷過遺產古跡之後

你也不會再想回去了

The Dream Destination | Egypt - Part 1

The Dream Destination | Egypt - Part 1

"Who doesn't want to come to Egypt?"

I bet no one would raise the hand up! Long and rich chronicle of almost 7000 years, i was looking forward to explore and witness the impressive history and culture of ancient Egypt. However, i had my first sigh right after getting my passport from the immigration officer. Several touts approached me and kept asking what's my plan in Cairo while i was waiting for the baggage. (Imagine how easy the touts can get in and out the airport as they want.)

"Konnichiwa my friend, where are you from?" - If you wanna start the sentence in Japanese, please continue with "are you from Japan?", not "where are you from?"!

"Oh, good country! Good people." - You don't even know where is Malaysia located.

"I am teaching history. I like history. The museum is closed now, why not you come to my father's gallery?" - First, you don't look like a teacher apparently. Second, the opening hour of museum is until 6pm. Third, you are 100% one annoying tout.

Touts are standing at every corner of streets, waiting to bait fish from all over the world. Strongly advise you to ignore those who trying to approach you. They have hundreds of different patterns of ways to start a conversation with you. Keep walking or indirectly you are giving the tout a chance to waste your time.

I was told that Egyptians concern for social ethics that is evident by the soul of "I don't steal", "I don't rob". On the other hand, the touts have their own way to get your money. Dishonesty. They will never tell you the real story. Tourism is the most important sector in Egypt's economy. Cheating tourists is the common way to have the cash flowing into their pockets from you without any dispute. (You won't see them again after the trip) Since the tourism in the country has no proper system, and you will need to take the tour package to visit some attractions (it's also difficult for the Egyptians to travel around). You can't do anything after the tour but to complain to your friends and wish the situation will be improved sooner.

There's both bad and good people everywhere in this planet. You may feel uneasy being stared, flirted, honked and etc. Honestly speaking, Egyptians are nice and friendly. They are happy to have foreigners visiting their country. Proud to be Egyptians, they surely want you to bring good memory back home and visit the country again. I was greeted "Hallo, welcome to Egypt.", "Enjoy, my friend.", "Have a nice day., etc by the passers-by in Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor and a village near white desert. Egyptians are willing to help anyone, anytime and anywhere. But after all these unrosy moments happened in Egypt, you will start to ignore until don't trust everyone (policemen included), except your travel companion and other backpackers. Also, eventually, you will know who is reliable to lean on or how to seek help from the correct local around you.

The naive smiles from the kids had somehow mystically brought me back to pH-7 (the neutral level). After seeing their sincere and funny reactions, there's hope for the country actually. The point is whether the recent revolution could afford to properly offer appropriate education to the young generation for better Egypt in the future.

一個歷史豐富的國度

誰都嚮往到達的埃及

心情興奮及充滿期待

抵達後竟然嘆一口氣

滿街都是旅遊拐帶佬

專門打遊客的壞主意

搞不清誰隱有一把刀

會把自己砍得滿頭血

完全迷失自我判斷力

還有幾次好人當賊看

不知道誰才是真誠懇

心酸因爲不會再信任

不偷不搶也不擒不侵

笑容背後藏著不軌心

口是心非只會向錢看

滑稽狡猾欺騙不誠實

經常被驚訝眼神強暴

日本人韓國人中國人

我是從馬來西亞來的

之後竟然跟我說日語

其實埃及人非常友善

必把你問題妥當解決

只不過那麽一小黑點

污染了整片蔚藍天空

懷念小孩的天真無瑕

純潔的笑容令人樂透

希望會有恰當的教育

好讓他們把埃及搞好

沒有的...只有的...

沒有的...只有的...

沒有談不長的戀愛

只有交不出的真心

沒有偕不老的白頭

只有續不久的結合

沒有辦不好的事情

只有沖不破的困難

沒有吃不飽的早餐

只有填不完的食欲

沒有活不樂的人生

只有看不開的執著

沒有到不了的終點

只有跨不過的遙遠

See. Stand. Sit. | 看 . 站 . 坐.

See. Stand. Sit

You don't need to stand high,

But you ought to see things clear.

If you manage to stand high,

Not a compulsory being able to see far.

Just remember to have a wide view.

Don't quickly glance though thousands miles,

And missed the treasure within several meters.

Sitting high is not a must as well,

As long as you could sit firmly.

But if you could sit higher,

Definitely you don't need to sit straight the entire time,

Comfortably sitting on the chair is more important.

Strengthen your seat steadily,

Get a correct sitting posture that won't hurt.

Stand high, see thing clear and wide, sit stably and comfortably.

看 . 站 . 坐.

人站得不高不重要

看得清晰才是重點

如果你站得高的話

也不一定要看很遠

但記得要看得寬喲

別沖忙地一眨千里

忽視幾里近的距離

又不需要高坐在上

坐得穩就已經夠了

如果你坐得高的話

也不需要常坐得直

可以坐得舒服就好

鞏固坐席不被動搖

坐勢不會腰痠悲痛

站高看清寬坐舒穩

Lemon and Life | 檸檬人生

Lemon and Life

I know i can't control the weather. So, i will never complain if it's too hot or it's a rainy day. Instead, i always enjoy what life throws me. If i was given a lemon, i will either make ice lemonade or boil water for a cup of hot lemon tea to keep myself warm.

Also, i won't blame if you don't want to help me. Cause, you have the right to choose. No point forcing other to get one's problem solved. Just, you won't deserve a sincere appreciation from FuFu.

Likewise, i categorise my friends. If you are not invited to be seated with me at the same table, don't piss off. Enjoy your dinner with your friends. Just, my stomach needs to better digest what i am going to eat.

檸檬人生

我知道天氣是無法被操控

不曾埋怨太熱或是下雨天

反而我會好好享受每一天

如果命運要給我一粒檸檬

我會立刻弄檸檬刨冰解暑

或燒水準備一杯熱檸檬茶

沒必要抱怨你不伸出緩手

因爲你也有做選擇的權利

永不會求人把我問題解決

大不了花點能量自找出路

只是你會得不到我的感激

同樣的我也會挑選朋與友

如不被邀請與我同桌用餐

你不需擺出憤怒鳥的表情

盡情和你的朋友吃晚餐吧

我的肚子想好好消化罷了

Like and Dislike

喜歡和不喜歡 | Like and Dislike.

喜歡凴感覺就會很簡單 | Like = Simple + Feeling.

不喜歡很容易但要事實 | Dislike = Easy + Tangible.

感覺永遠都不需要理由 | Reasons don't chase after Feeling.

事實往往必須解釋清楚 | Tangible needs to be clearly explained.

感覺難以言談誰都喜歡 | Feeling is lovely and hard to describe.

實事句句有刺不被喜歡 | Tangible is ugly and it hurts.

喜歡要慢慢欣賞後陶醉 | Like = slowly appreciate before falling into it happily.

不喜歡要快刀斬後忘記 | Dislike = kill it immediately and then forget thoroughly.
