Perth Trip - January 2011

Arrived 'home' and found this on the front lawn... it was dusk... 

Reacquainted myself with this little fellow from next door...

Went to Hillarys Boat Harbour with his parents and saw this beautiful oil painting... wonder if I can put this on my wishlist...

The movers came and packed up 20 years worth of memory and possessions into a 20 foot sea container ready to be shipped back to Brunei...

The final day for saying goodbye to the house that had been the Loo home in Perth for 20 years... This is the sign at the front of the house...

Made the acquaintance of this gracious lady at my friend Chaz's home in East Vic Park...

The evening blue sky over Borneo prior to my arrival in Brunei...

10 short days... it was hot and dry... great that I managed to catch up with my friends from WAIC and AIUS before I left... wish I could have caught up with more friends... it felt final though it also not feel final... I will be back again... vacations for one is a good excuse...

Going Crazy ft Bang Yong Gook - Song Ji Eun (Secret)

Going Crazy

(English Translation Lyrics)

It’s not love

This isn’t love

It’s just your obsession

Wherever

Whatever I do

It’s frightening

The you who watches me

I follow in your shadow

I make a phone call

I become thrilled at the sound of your shaking breath

My heart runs after your increasingly quick steps

I think I’ll go crazy

The long night gets darker

Under the dead streetlamp in front of your house

I’m watching you through the crack in your window

Until the night ends

Come on and find me

You keep playing a suffocating game of hide-and-seek with me

You, you, you

You’re inseparable from me

Have you gone crazy?

Why are you like this?

Please just leave me alone now

Seeing you is suffocating

Please disappear from my sight

You can never break away from me

You have no one to love but me

Try to escape

Wherever you are

I can see you

You know deeply

You can never break away from me

You have no one to love but me

Look at me now

I don’t wanna cry no more, more

Get lost

Just back off

I really can’t breathe

Wherever I go

Wherever I am

It’s frightening

The you who follows me

A hundred times

Tens of thousands of times

I’ve called you

But why, why is there no answer?

Did you forget?

It’s already been a thousand days since we met

I prepared a gift you’d like

I sit on the street you frequently travel

I’m waiting for you

I know my love

Don’t call it obsession, you don’t know love

Don’t say I’ve gone crazy

You don’t know my heart

You can never be separated from me

Have you gone crazy?

Why are you like this?

Please just leave me alone now

Seeing you is suffocating

Please disappear from my sight

You know you want me too

You know you love me

Don’t run away from me

Cut the crap

Get a hold of yourself and stop it

Let go of me now

This ain’t right

This isn’t love

It’s just hurts me, don’t be like this

I loved you

But I don’t now

Erase me from your memory

I don’t wanna cry no more, more

(English Translation Lyrics)

[Eli]

Yo, listen up

This is my tragic story

Just the breaking of my heart

Check it

[Hoon]

I still can’t erase you, I keep thinking about you

I want to see you so badly, I can’t sleep at night

The sound of rain that thumps on the window of my heart

The spot that you gave up, I miss you so much

I can’t sleep at all at night

[AJ]

Your backside leaving by avoiding the rain

I can’t anything, again

So everyday I regret it, I’m sorry

I pray, I want you to be back

I can’t, I can’t touch you

I can’t be patient because it’s a day that doesn’t exist

The tears in my eyes flow down

Again, will I be able to forget you

[SooHyun]

I still can’t erase you, I keep thinking about you

I want to see you so badly, I can’t sleep at night

The sound of rain that thumps on the window of my heart

The spot that you gave up, I miss you so much

I can’t sleep at all at night

[Eli]

All night I only think about you, I can’t sleep

Why did I turn on this love show?

The distance between you and I has gotten bigger

I was the servant of this love

Why did we fight? Why were we like this?

Did you lost the sight? We loved each other

Why am I frozen right now?

Dummy, what I need is you

[DongHo]

Your shoulders are limp

Your sight, the ground collapses

You hit my stuffy heart

I can imagine you praying to the sky

With your hands clasped together

Let’s forget everything, all the bad memories

(I’m sorry) I know how you’ll react

I can only say sorry

[Kevin]

I still can’t erase you, I keep thinking about you

I want to see you so badly, I can’t sleep at night

The sound of rain that thumps on the window of my heart

The spot that you gave up, I miss you so much

I can’t sleep at all at night

Oh nights like tonight, tonight, oh…

[Eli+AJ]

You and I, don’t let go of our string

Don’t deny our r2π

Come to me, it’s all okay now

Again, again, let’s start everything again

[Kevin]

I can’t sleep at night

[Hoon]

I still can’t erase you, I keep thinking about you

I want to see you so badly, I can’t sleep at night

[Kevin]

The sound of rain that thumps on the window of my heart

The spot that you left, I miss you so much

[All]

I can’t sleep at night

What is RIght - Big Bang (SBS THE BIGBANG SHOW 220211)

What is Right

(English Translation Lyrics)

[G-Dragon]

Here’s the demo

Check mic, check on, two

Murf, peejay, feel it

[G-Dragon]

You know when you lost a love

Don’t know what to think or do

My mind is spinning ‘cause of it, you know?

[TaeYang]

Tell me what is right and what is wrong

I don’t even know why I’m fighting with you

Your face is flushed

You’re getting upset

But even when you’re looking like that,

I…

[G-Dragon]

I still don’t get it

(Right) I’ll never know the difference

Between man and woman

Different situation

But always the same episode

Lower your tail girl

I didn’t come here to fight with you, baby

[TOP]

What more can I say? Sorry, sorry

These repeated fights will be history

Once tomorrow comes around

Making pathetic excuses

We can’t understand each other so we fight

Every moment we’re wondering

Who’s fault is it? [Tell me]

[TaeYang]

I don’t even know why I’m fighting with you

Tell me what is right and what is wrong

I don’t even know why I’m fighting with you

Your face is flushed

You’re getting upset

But even when you’re looking like that,

I…

What is right and what is wrong?

What is right and what is wrong?

You’re ready to cry at any moment

Just like a baby (hey!)

I like you because you’re my girl

[SeungRi]

Looking only at you

Talking on the phone at night

And sometimes preparing a surprised event

Never forgetting our anniversary

Never doubting you

Taking your side

And saying “I love you”

[DaeSung]

Doing everything the way you want it

I’m trying my best, but it doesn’t get any better

If you can feel my sincerity, don’t be angry

Just close your eyes and kiss me baby

[TaeYang]

I don’t even know why I’m fighting with you

Tell me what is right and what is wrong

I don’t even know why I’m fighting with you

Your face is flushed

You’re getting upset

But even when you’re looking like that,

I…

What is right and what is wrong?

What is right and what is wrong?

You’re ready to cry at any moment

Just like a baby (hey!)

I like you because you’re my girl

[TaeYang]

Say yeah, yeah, yeah

We’re heading faster towards the end

I can’t that it anymore, yeah yeah

(C’mon) Baby hold on, hold onto me

I’m shaking, ooohh~

[TOP]

(Listen) The problem is always after the first year

Then what?

Love doesn’t change, people do

Otherwise, I’d be as comfortable as family

[TaeYang]

“I’ll do better”

Those words are meaningless not girl

[G-Dragon]

Open up your heart, honestly, right now

[TaeYang]

I don’t even know why I’m fighting with you

Tell me what is right and what is wrong

I don’t even know why I’m fighting with you

Your face is flushed

You’re getting upset

But even when you’re looking like that,

I…

What is right and what is wrong?

What is right and what is wrong?

You’re ready to cry at any moment

Just like a baby (hey!)

I like you because you’re my girl

What is right and what is wrong?

That Man Opposed - Dalmatian

That Man Opposed

(English Translation Lyrics)

Don't wanna be lonely I wanna just fall in love.

I love you, so won't you come in to my heart

Oh yeah (oh oh follow me follow me) 

oh yeah (oh oh follow me follow me)

I need you girl (oh oh follow me follow me) 

널 사랑해 oh oh you you you

The guy you like is the worst guy I've seen ever

It's frustrating (hey). 

It's a sticky situation (she played u).

Why don't you know he's a player baby

Why are you a fool and living your life being tricked. 

It's obvious that you're going to be played and end up crying in the end.

Why do you love with your eyes closed and ears shut girl.

I oppose that man, he's not the one.

Come to me and don't believe in him.

Fall in love with me.

Let us fall in love. 

Open your eyes

So won't you come in to my Come in to my heart

If that guy betrays you, I'll beat him up.

If he doesn't take care of your anniversary date, I'll do it instead.

I'm the complete opposite of him, but you don't have to worry 

so follow me follow me follow me follow me oh girl

Because I thought you'd hurt, I couldn't say anything.

If you like it, then I'll like it too.

But I can't bear it any longer to see you get hurt. 

When he drinks, he changes and he has too many girls aside from you.

Why do you love with your eyes closed and ears shut girl.

I oppose that man, he's not the one.

Come to me and don't believe in him.

Fall in love with me.

Let us fall in love.

Open your eyes

So won't you come in to my Come in to my heart

Follow me follow me.

Trust only me and follow me.

You're my l.o.v.e. l.o.v.e.

I only have you. 

Girl I wanna be wanna be the love you wanted. 

So I believe I believe

oh! I believe I believe L.O.V.E LOVE

You the one I love, I want to place you in my heart and if you want, I'll hug you. 

Fall in love with me.

Let us fall in love.

Open your eyes

So won't you come in to my Come in to my heart.

Need You Now - Lady Antebellum

Need You Now

Picture perfect memories

Scattered all around the floor

Reaching for the phone 'cause

I can't fight it anymore

And I wonder if I

Ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one

I'm all alone

And I need you now

Said I wouldn't call

But I've lost all control

And I need you now

And I don't know how

I can do without

I just need you now

Another shot of whiskey

Can't stop looking at the door

Wishing you'd come sweeping

In the way you did before

And I wonder if I

Ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time

It's a quarter after one

I'm a little drunk

And I need you now

Said I wouldn't call

But I've lost all control

And I need you now

And I don't know how

I can do without

I just need you now

Whoa, whoa

Guess I'd rather hurt

Than feel nothing at all

It's a quarter after one

I'm all alone

And I need you now

And I said I wouldn't call

But I'm a little drunk

And I need you now

And I don't know how

I can do without

I just need you now

I just need you now

Oh baby, I need you now

Whiskie Loo (1995 - 2011)

I remember this black and white bundle was the runt of the litter and his mum abandoned him on the roof of my office when I was working in Syabas... 


Took him home and bottled fed him Dutch Lady's full cream milk... he used to chase after his milk bottle till he wean himself off the milk... thats when he disliked the bottle with a passion... mum named him Whiskie...


He was very healthy and has a bad temper... was able to win his fights with the neighbourhood cats who strayed into our house compound and he even beat up dogs... :-s


Always picky with his food... only ocean feast will do and also home cooked fish... not too wet nor too dry...


Also very clean and particular with his fur and surroundings... he looked like he's wearing a tuxedo... doesn't like the wet...


Possessed distinctive meows that may mean "?", "!"... very timely and would raise his meowing volume as the time gets closer to his feeding time... he answers me when I speak to him... mum always amazed that he would 'talk' with me... coz he never does with the rest of the family...


Doesn't like to be addressed by any other names except his own, he would ignore you for a few days if you did...


As he got older, his temperament got milder but can still be nasty when he wants to be...


He gets stressed whenever his carrier basket is brought out and need to be assured as to where we are taking him... I think he has a fear that he would be abandoned... 


I went away for a few years, his big sister Carnation passed while I was away... came back for a holiday in 2008 and he still remember me...


Came home for good this year, he was very 'manja' in the last year or so... not only with me, but with my mum and dad too... he was never that affectionate but he was more sooky in the last year... never liked to be carried much but we were carting him around quite a bit in the last year...


He was unwell for a month... nothing we did were able to get him recover... he left us to go to the rainbow bridge to join my babies who had gone before him on 24 March 2011... 


Rest in peace Whiskie Loo... be happy with Carnation and Bluebear... till we meet again... Whiskie sayang...
