'Dream of Swan'

I came across this song again today. A song called '거위의꿈', 'Dream of Swan'. I believe this song is not at all a stranger to Koreans. Every Koreans seems to know how to sing this. The first time i heard this was on "Star King", sang by a group of blind children. Together with the meaning of the lyrics, it's a song about chasing our dreams.

My very own sunshine, JunSu oppa has also sang this song before. A short duet with a girl on "Star King". Undeniably, he is always good at portrait the lyrics in his voice. So making me have goosebumps.



And then today, i heard this heart-touching song again in "Beethoven Virus". It is a cut scene from the last episode of the drama, where all the members of the orchestra was doing their last performance. A flashback of what they have gone through together as the orchestra band came to the end and every member to move on with their own lives.

I just could not help myself to tear whenever i listen to this song. Every words of the lyrics is so touching and the singer who sang this has a really beautiful voice. It's a sad sad yet encouraging song. I am just addicted to it right now.



Here is lyrics of the song:
거위의꿈(天鹅的梦) 歌词
난 난 꿈이 있었죠 버려지고 찢겨 남루하여도
我，我曾经有个梦 曾被抛弃曾被遗忘 虽那么破旧

내 가슴 깊숙이보물과 같이 간직했던 꿈
象我心底深藏的宝物般的梦

혹 패론 누군가가 뜻 모를 비읏음
或者有时有人会不明的嘲笑

내 등 뒤에 흘릴 때도
在我身后 遗留着

난 참아야 했죠 참을 수 있었죠 그날을 위해
我要忍受，可以忍受，为了那一天

*늘 적정하듯 말하죠 헛된 꿈은 둑이라고
总是担心的说，不可实现的梦就是毒药

세상은 끝이 정해진 책처럼 이미돌이킬 수 없는
世界就象一本一些好的书，一切都无法返回
현실이라고
现实

그래요 난 난 꿈이 있어요
是的，我，我有着梦

그 꿈을 믿어요 나를 지켜봐요
我相信那个梦，请关注着我

저 차갑게 서있는 운명이란 벽 앞에
在那叫命运的冰冷的墙前面

당당히 마주칠 수 있어요
勇敢的去面对

언젠가 난 그 벽을 넘고서
总有一在我将翻越那面墙

저 하늘을 높이 날을 수 있어요
可以飞向那片天空

이 무거운 세상도 나를 묶을 순 없죠
这沉重的世界也无法捆绑住我

내 삶의 끝에서 나 읏을 그 날을 함께해요
在我生的尽头，我们一起微笑着面对那一天吧

*그래요 난 난 꿈이 있어요
是的，我，我有着梦

그 꿈을 믿어요 나를 지켜봐요
我相信那个梦，请关注着我

저 차갑게 서있는 운명이란 벽 앞에
在那叫命运的冰冷的墙前面

당당히 마주칠 수 있어요
勇敢的去面对

언젠가 난 그 벽을 넘고서
总有一在我将翻越那面墙

저 하늘을 높이 날을 수 있어요
可以飞向那片天空

이 무거운 세상도 나를 묶을 순 없죠
这沉重的世界也无法捆绑住我

내 삶의 끝에서 나 읏을 그 날을 함께해요
在我生的尽头，我们一起微笑着面对那一

Home Sweet Home

Well… everyone says this when they are finally home. “Home sweet home.” It’s so true that there’s no other place like our own home.

I thought that mine would be like usual, full of expectation and finally PRIVACY! Somehow, this home coming seems to be a little out of expectation. Fallen sick the moment I stepped into the house. As for the privacy part – not quite much of my own time and again was being dragged to shop to help out. As if there is not enough drama, mom seems to like nagging around a lot recently. She is always bugging us around with her “Eat Healthy Food” talk when me and brother appeared in front of her. Once she started, she can really go a long way. Seriously, do not blame us from turning away from you mom, because it is so getting on my nerves. There was really once that I was in my verge to tell her to zip it, but I just could not be that rude to my own mother. Eventually, I’ll just complain to brother or suck it all up.

The time is ticking and I am wasting every second of it. It’s already the second week of the holidays and Christmas is just around the corner. In no time at all, I will be leaving again and year 2009 shall come to an end. Every TV shows is already recapping the big events that have happened throughout the year. Guess I’ll just have to accept the fact that time really flies hell so fast. Undeniably, there has been so much happening throughout the year, so fast that I could hardly take a grip of what is happening around me. It’s like I was sleep-walking through my days. It’s not only just this new year, when every time, one new year is added on to the calendar, there will be a lot of changes, like changing phases of life. People will come and go, seasons will change and people will also change.

Well… for this coming new phase of my life, I am so looking forward for what will come my way. The clock hit12 already and it’s Christmas Eve. Happy Christmas everyone!

'You're Beautiful'

Two days of burning the midnight candles, finally finished this Korean drama called "You're Beautiful”. It is actually called "미남이시네요". This must be news for some friends because I’m actually watching Korean drama. To be real honest, this is the second Korean drama ever I have watched. I am kinda not a drama person and once if I started, I can’t wait to get a grip of the gist of everything and of course what the ending is. Even it's a novel, I would never slow down because I am too curious and no patience to move slowly.

Well... the point here is not about me, I am actually really liking these OST in this drama. The plot of the drama – typical “idol drama”. My kpop bud described it as the “coffee prince + flower over boys” drama. I totally agree to that! With regards to the story, it's actually surrounding a group of boy band. One of them who played the band member is actually a member from a Korean group called FT Island. I have not acknowledged about them, but there was once I heard the vocal sang randomly in a variety show. He was actually surprisingly so good and then now again when I listen to him sing again in this drama, I really love the way he sings. His voice is somewhat husky, but then it’s full of power and feelings.



There's also another someone i get to know in this drama - the main actor. His name is Jang Geun Suk. Knew that he has been in "Beethoven Virus", a korean drama before. Quite a big transformation he has, acting in drama like this one. From the cool manly guy into a chic edgy stiff fella. But somehow, i think he has really changed in person as well. From what i have researched, he is actually really flexible to all kind of style. He used to be this short hair-dark skin with beard guy.







And now he has somewhat abandoned his tan and beard and changed into a chic edgy guy.







This guy definitely has his own unique character. I shall describe him as a carefree celebrity. He makes smoking looks hot and drag queen looks cool. Why do i say that? He has actually transformed into a drag queen and performed in a huge award show before. Thumbs up for that! He can even sing and dance and play instruments. So much of a multi-talented artist. :D

Go catch up on the drama!

Happy Birthday my forever sunshine<3

I should have wrote this yesterday but i didn't. Was catching on dramas. Well... now i should say: Happy belated Birthday my forever sunshine!

Having to witness everything that has happened around them for 4 years, i cant help but to think that me, myself and the guys have really grown up. Does people really have to change when it comes the time to grow up? Even under unwilling circumstances, surrounding will more or less change a person. Then is it even true to say: as time goes by, fashion changes, style changes, but i will never change? All those passion that were used to be in your hearts, how you used to think of capturing a dream together, are these still there right at this moment? Regarding all that has happened these days, forgive me for questioning. All those 'used-to-be', have they been forgotten?

I believe what i see, and i believe what i feel. I know who are you guys and that is what i chose to believe. I could close my eyes and ears, and turn away from what i chose not to believe because i chose to go on with the the ones who held me up at day one. Could you guys at least prove that we did not make the wrong choice? Or it's just that you guys have really changed?

Maybe it's right for me to say that something's different now, but you will always be that sunshine i knew from day one. The one who has never fail to lighten up my days. The "youngest" one and the innocent one. Now that one year has been added to your history, i know you will be able to find your own way. Once again, Happy birthday Sunshine...

the tears of a child

Sort of finished the consti tutorial today and was chilling on my seat watching variety shows. As a result, i ended up laughing as well as crying.

I wonder, who would not cry when it comes to talking about our own parents. As parents, i understand that they would always wanna protect us, they would sacrifice everything to keep us safe and in the best ever, even if it is about risking their own life. Never will i doubt the love of my parents.

We as children will also wanna do the same for them. I believe our parents have been child to their own parents and know how it's like to be in our shoes. Who would not? When it comes to parents, i believe every child will tear. Same as them, we wanna do our best for them, we wanna make them proud, we would wanna do anything to make their life happy and even it's about our life. We do love our parents, but sometimes it's like a norm for children to fight back, to talk back, to be rebellion. Through times, we will have to go through these stages to come to realize how wrong we were. Some people will manage to see the picture clearly very soon, but some never get to their senses before there no more chance to make things right. How sad can this be. Bringing along a regret in life to live on. Because you cannot fulfill what a child has got to do for their parents. So, dun hold back on your love when there's chance to do so. There's a chinese sayings:樹欲靜而風不息，子欲養而親不在
