Sometimes… I wondered if I have posted this before… whatever. Lazy to search also. Each verse comes with its translation.

Fields of Hope
by Rie Tanaka (????)
as Lacus Clyne
from Gundam SEED DESTINY (Insert)

konna ni tsumetai tobari no fukaku de
anata wa hitori de nemutteru
inori no utagoe sabishii nohara wo
chiisana hikari ga terashiteta

In the cold depths behind the curtain,
You sleep alone.
The melodious voices of prayer,
Shines a tiny light onto the lonely fields.

anata no yume wo miteta
kodomo no youni waratteta
natsukashiku mada tooku
sore wa mirai no yakusoku

I had a dream of you,
You were laughing like a child.
Familiar yet distant,
That is the future's promise.

itsuka midori no asa ni
itsuka tadoritsukeru to
fuyugareta kono sora wo
shinjiteiru kara
Fields of hope

someday on a green morning,
Someday I will get there,
Because I believe
In this desolate winter sky.
Fields of hope

umarete kita hi ni dakishimete kureta
yasashii ano te wo sagashiteru
inori no utagoe hitotsu kiete mata hajimaru
tayorinaku setsunaku tsudzuku

I'm searching for those gentle hands,
That embraced me the day I was born.
A single voice of prayer disappears,
And I start again, continuing tryingly by myself.

itsuka midori no asa e
subete no yoru wo koete
sore wa tada hitorizutsu
mitsukete yuku basho dakara

Someday moving towards a green morning,
I will overcome the nights,
Because that is a place
That I have to find alone.

ima ga tada kono mune de
anata wo atatametai
natsukashiku mada tooi
yasuragi no tame ni
Fields of hope

For now, I just want to
Warm you with my chest.
Familiar yet distant,
The tranquility we strive for.
Fields of hope

natsukashiku mada tooi
yakusoku no nohara
Fields of hope
Fields of hope

Familiar yet distant,
The promised fields.
Fields of hope
Fields of hope

Very relaxing… the tune… Lol…

Been really busy these days, with lots of things.

Been learning Java, or rather, re-learning Java.

Been playing around with LabVIEW, lots.

Been drinking lots of water.

Been swimming lots.

Been playing lots.

Been really busy.

I just want to relax abit.

I just realised I have not stepped into any KBox outlet since last year. Wow. Save money. And now, I wondered where did I keep my KBox card.

And suddenly, I don't have any more will power, to think of interesting things. No point thinking of interesting things, when people will just forget about them later. Interesting things will last in me, but not in others. Too bad. Interesting things are just FOR MYSELF. FOR NOW.

I took about 10 minutes to recall about things, happy, sad, angry, that happened last year. That's good. Soon, it will be 20, 30, 60…

No… no more sorrow. But then, there isn't any to begin with. Lol.

Ok, some things are not to be said here, due to the need to control the wrath of Lk… wahahha!! I don't want things to break too much, especially people's hands.

And also, I don't like to be blamed for things I don't remember happening and without explanation.

And yes, it's Monday! And Lu Li's back to I²R from her little 1 week 'holiday'… Wahaha! Nothing much today, except that boss had paid me for the receipts: I claimed $217 in total. Heh. However, the invoice came this afternoon, and it looked like I was entitled to a little discount, so I will have to pay $5 back to my boss.

I shall remember to attempt to pay back. Wahaha! Because that money is in black-and-white. No 'bribery' allowed. Heh.

I am done with all the necessary hardware, for the time being. So maybe, I should try and finish up the VIP report tomorrow. Wahaha…

Looked into DRC this afternoon. I still need the following:

• 1 Arts GEM: 4MC
• 1 x HR2002: 3MC
• 1 x EE4001: 12MC
• 2 x depth: 8MC

Total MC: 27

Current MCs: 132
MCs pending: 6
Required MCs: 161

MCs outstanding: 23

And so I shall try and graduate with (at least) 5 MCs in excess. Felt like taking some more fun breadths… hmm… I haven't taken intro to image processing. Ahhh… But I would have fulfilled UEM and breadths by the end of holidays. Hmm… extra? Lol…

I wonder when the hell the FYP allocation results are going to be released. Duhz. Rush to submit, and now, wait and wait, while, most probably, they will look at our faces, see our grades, see lecturers face, see if they agree, then approve… etc etc etc. Who knows.

Balloting can have criteria too.

The Little Things Give You Away
Linkin Park

Water gray through the windows
Up the stairs
Chilling rain
Like an ocean
Everywhere

Don't want to reach for me do you?
I mean nothing to you
The Little Things Give You Away
And now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water
I do

Hope decays
Generations disappear
Washed away
As a nation simply stares

Don't want to reach for me do you?
I mean nothing to you
The Little Things Give You Away
But now there will be no mistaking
The levees are breaking

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water
I do

All you've ever wanted
Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under ground now I
Now I do

(The Little Things Give You Away)
(All you ever wanted was someone to truly look up to you)

Yes, I have done what I have set out to do this week.

I visited Mr Jalil at PCB lab. He said he could help me fabricate the PCB, since it's going to be one-sided. He also provided me with a list of PCB fabrication companies. Thank you very much Mr Jalil.

I went down to Sim Lim on Wednesday once again, for shopping. Bought 2 presensitized pcbs, one for making, one for spare (Lol, buy more… buy more…). Bought lots of header pins and housing too (buy even more…). That shop assistant always like to joke. Maybe one day I shall send Mr Law to buaya with her. Wahaha!! Anyway, age should be late 20s or late 30s… somewhere there la.

Went to PCB lab on my way back. Gave Mr Jalil 1 board and the PCB design that I have put nicely on the 10 000mils by 6000mils board size. He told me to come back at 3pm the next day, if he did not give me a call.

He called me at 9.30am the next day. Fast… Lol…

Went over to PCB lab and do my 'VIP EE2001". Cutting, drilling, checking. Then went back to office and continued with "VIP EE2001 part 2". Soldering, checking, testing.

And finally I get to try out what Dr Yau meant by a 'hot sensation' when there's a high voltage but low current. lol. I wonder who will be the next guinea pig. Lol.

And Hwee Keong installed LabVIEW evaluation on my PC! Yay… now I am like doing EE4302 mini project also. Duhz.

The next thing to do, is to finish up the making of wire cables. And then, it's "looking for guinea pigs" time… Suggestions include wiring the floor with a 250V DC and a common ground, so that when an excited AA enters the room bare-footed, he will get a shock. Wahaha! *evilz*

But that's not a good way to waste away a component that costs $122. I might as well wire up my office door =.= awahaha…

I have calculated. Total bill is 200+. That's the amount that my sup's going to pay me back. Ofcourse, there's some extra goodies that I am not going to claim. I will keep that goodies for my own use. Lol. Goodies include: Wire-wrapping wires x 2 rolls, bread board x2, ribble cable x 1m, IDC connecters and headers, some boliao stuffs like IR LEDs and receivers for my own leisure purposes, additional transistors and chips that I realised that I am not going to use them any time soon, in the project, and buzzer. *beep*beep* Wahaha!

Looks like I have done quite a lot of "extra-curricular activities" in office eh.. lol… yeah… that includes… tea breaks… youtube breaks… talk crap breaks… toilet breaks… coffee breaks… stoning breaks… etc etc etc…

That's life. Lol…

No More Sorrow
Linkin Park

Are you lost, In your lies?
Do you tell yourself, I don't realize?
Your crusade's a disguise
Replace freedom with fear,
You trade money for lives.

I'm aware of what you've done.

No, no more sorrow.
I've paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

I see pain, I see need.
I see liars and thieves,
Abuse power with greed.
I had hope, I believed.
But I'm beginning to think that I've been deceived.

You will pay for what you've done.

No, no more sorrow.
I've paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

Thieves and hypocrites.
Thieves and hypocrites.
Thieves and hypocrites.

No, no more sorrow.
I've paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

No more sorrow.
I've paid for your mistakes.
Your time is borrowed.
Your time has come to be replaced.

Your time has come to be replaced.
Your time has come to be erased.

Hehehee… no vulgar words in there.

What I have done today? I became a soldering king. I soldered up to 300 pins within 3 hrs. Wahaha!!!

Now that IT Show and PC Show are over, it's time to wait for the next two: COMEX and SITEX.

COMEX 2007 Singapore :: 30 August – 2 September 2007 :: Suntec City Exhibition Centre Levels 3, 4 and 6 :: 12noon to 9pm

SITEX 2007 :: 29 November – 2 December 2007 :: Singapore Expo Halls 4 – 6 :: 11am to 9pm

7% GST for the above 2 events. Lol…

Oh well…

Ok, Lyrics Sharing Time…

Given Up
Linkin Park

Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste
In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place
There's no escape

I'm my own worst enemy

I've given up…
I'm sick of living
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
with me!

I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared
I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow somewhere
And no one cares

I'm my own worst enemy

I've given up…
I'm sick of living
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
with me!

GOD!

Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my misery
Put me out of my…
Put me out of my fucking misery!

I've given up
I'm sick of living
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away
I'm suffocating!
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
with me!

Well well… that's the lyrics. Lol… power power power…

Who is that girl
The one that gets up the bus 2 bus stops away from me
The one that wears sunglasses on the bus
The one with nice long hair

Who is that girl
The one that often sits one or two rows in front of me
The one that sometimes applies hand lotion while on the bus
The one that looks so cute

Who is that girl
I don't know

Who is that girl
I want to know

Who is that girl
… …

Wahaha… Just now I was thinking, what if she's on the same bus as me on the way back too? And there she was, on the same 143! Lol… Lalala… Seeing her just makes me happy for no reason. It's good for the eyes. It's a pleasant sight. Heh…

And somehow, I think that, the first time I see her, was not on the bus… it's somewhere… I just could not recall where…

And no, I am not a wolf. I only warn people to beware of wolves.

Lol. Ok. 9pm. TV time.

I was looking around for this file, and found it at Geocities. Sometimes, it's good to standardise some self-preferences, so that files can be found easily.

Wahahaa…. an old old old old old old old old file leh… heh heh…

So sianz… 2 weeks, but no news of "<nickname> would like to add you on his/her msn contact list" leh. Haiz…

Never mind lor… heehee… if this way don't work, try another. =) And I am just trying to add more friends into my msn list. More, more!!! Lol…

Never mind lor. I will think of a solution… Hmm… find help or what. Lol… and strictly NO WAITING.

Just finished bball and came back home. Tired legs and hands. Lol. I need a way to jump and jump and jump without the feeling of near-muscle-cramp. I don't like muscle cramps. Once I have the near-feeling, I will slow down my pace, and that will affect my game. Lol.

Too bad lor. Most of the time, when I feel that I am getting leg cramps, I have drunk 100plus. Lol… Maybe there's a link somewhere. Wahaha!!

This coming week's Week 5. Yay. Week 5 shall be the week whereby I get all things ready. Then it will be ??????? Labview ? Hitek. Wahaha…

Now I have to make a super decision – PCB, or veroboard?? Basically I think PCB's better. Hmm… But veroboard has its good too. Breadboard? 16 electrodes… 32 6-pin ICs… Erm… siao leh… I tried 4, and I wanted to die already. Lol.

And YH has been joking about 'the highest spending intern'. Lol. Quite true. Now I think I have to add in more: 'highest spending, lowest paying intern'. That sounds more right.

That $550 per month is enough for me to eat grass. Haiz. No chance to save money again.

I was wondering when I will have the chance to go jalan jalan? Work ends at 6 almost everyday, and it will be quite sianz to travel all around. I have not gone Causeway Point to buy that duck rice from the Cold Storage downstairs. Yummy yummy. The auntie always asks: '????' when the packet is already full of rice. The roast duck is good too. I like. Lol. Yummy yummy. *hungry*. Can someone go buy and deliver it to my work place? Lol… *dream on*

I also have not gone to Chong Pang for Bak Chor Mee for a long long time!!! Ahhh!!!! *even more hungry*

I also have not gone to Jalan Kayu for prata for a long long time!!! Ahhh!!!! *fainting*

Ok. Stop. Exit.
