I just found out the translations for Caruso.I think it's quite a famous song,seems like it's compulsory for all opera singers to sing this song...(Josh Groban,Andrea Bocelli,Lara Fabian,Luciano Pavarotti)but the lyrics are nice




Here, where the sea shines
and the wind howls,
on the old terrace
beside the gulf of Sorrento,
a man embraces a girl
after the tears,
then clears his throat
and contines the song:

I love you very much
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins,
you know...

He saw the lights out on the sea,

thought of the nights there in America,
but they were only the fishermen's lamps
and the white wash astern.
He felt the pain in the music
and stood up from the p iano,
but when he saw the moon
emergin from a cloud,
death also seemed sweeter to him.
He looked the girl in the eyes,
those eyes as green as the sea.
Then suddenly a tear fell
and he believed he was drowning.

I love you very much,
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins,
you know...

The power of opera,
where every drama is a hoax;
with a little make-up and with mime
you can become someone else.
But two eyes that look at you,
so close and real,
make you forget the words,
confuse your thoughts,
so everything becomes small,
also the nights there in America.
You turn and see your life
through the white wash astern.
But, yes, it is life that ends
and he did not think much about it,
on the contrary, he already felt happy
and continued his song:

I love you very much,
very, very much, you know;
it is a chain by now
that heats the blood inside the veins,
you know...

Qui dove il mare luccica,
E tira forte vento
Sulla vecchia terazza
Davanti al golfo di surriento
Un uomo abbraccia una ragazza
Dopo che aveva pianto
Poi si sciarisce la voce
E ricomincia il canto

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
?una cantena ormai
Che sciogliei sangue dint'e vene sai...

Vide le luci in mezzo al mare

> Pens?alle notti l?in merica
Ma erano solo le lampare
E la bianca scia di un'elica
Sent?il dolore nella musica
E si alz?dal pianoforte
Ma quando vide uscire
La luna da una nuvola
Gli sembro pi?dolce anche la morte
Guard?negli occhi la ragazza
Quegli occhi verdi come il mare
Poi all'improvisso usci una lacrima
E lui credette di affogare

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
?una cantena ormai
Che sciogliei sangue dint'e vene sai...

Potenza della lirica
Dove ogni dramma ?un falso
Che con un po'di trucco e con la mimica
Puoi diventare un altro
Ma due occhi che ti guardano
Cos?vicini e veri
Ti fan scordare le parole
Confondono i pensieri
Cos?diventa tutto piccolo
Anche le notti l?in merica
Ti volti e vedi la tua vita
Dietro la scia di un'elica
Ma s? ?la vita che finisce
E non ci penso poi tanto
Anzi si sentiva gi?felice
E ricomincio il suo canto

Te voglio bene assai
Ma tanto tanto bene sai
?una cantena ormai
Che sciogliei sangue dint'e vene sai...

anyone else who wants to do

Dunno why nowadays I always feel tired,eventhough I'm not taking the western medicine for cough anymore.See ar,my schedule is liddet one: at night sleep for 8 hours,then when the alarm clock rings,switch off and sleep another 1 1/2 hours.Later in the afternoon sleep another 1 hour.So everyday I sleep 10 1/2 hours and I still feel tired...Maybe my sick days punya time schedule stuck already,after being sick for 1 week...

Hmm...maybe I should restart eating that Pharmaton ginseng whatever stuff that is supposed to give me more energy...

I'm currently too lazy to do my Flash assignment,so I'm lepaking on youtube and 'doing research' for violin *ahak*.

Anyways...this guy just looks so happy playing his violin.lol.He's Itzhak Perlman,BTW. He played alongside Yoyo Ma for the Memoirs of a Geisha soundtracks.I just found out about him.

In other news,I just found out those songs that I like so much but until just now remained unidentified are actually played by Bond.


Allegretto.Otherwise known as Palladio,composed by Karl Jenkins for the DeBeers diamond advertisement


Shine


Speed

Oh the wonders of the internet

One never knows what random stuff one may find while one does research

OMG...only 1 more month to term break!!! That means only 3 more weeks to finish all the flash assignments!!! I still haven't started the bird-plus-take thinggy...Can someone ask Tan to cancel it?We already did the bird and take separately what...

I still feel sick.Fever I dunno if it's there,but my cough/phlegm is getting worse because of college aircond, and now I have a headache...

I'm typing this now at 1.28am because I cannot sleep.I think I've been sleeping too much already.The reason being that I was sick this whole weekend,so I ended up sleeping/attempting to sleep for half the day.Have fever/cough/runny nose/dizziness/rashes and now I think I'm going to get a sore throat and/or puke soon.On Saturday I was in bed from 6pm until the next day,pressing a cold towel to my forehead without any significant outcome other that making me feel marginally more 'comfortable' but worsening my rashes.

Sohs I've been on a constant supply of Panadol and not much else because my appetite is gone with my tastebuds.I'm so totally going to die of accidental drug overdose like Heath Ledger and Marilyn Monroe.Oh the drama.(BTW I wanna watch Dark Knight,when I feel better.Anyone up for it?)

~~~~~~~

I still feel like puking.OK,I think I'm up to criticizing that clinic I went to just now,to pass my time.

~~~~~~~

The clinic I went to just now was Klinik Bandaran.It's near ICLS.Look out for it.XD.They don't give much of a good impression.Let me count the reasons.

First of all,the clinic looked so dingy that it seems they are not making much profit.Secondly,that could be true,because eventhough it was the only clinic open in SS15 at that hour,there were no other patients,almost as if people were avoiding it.Third,the staff at the counter,my mom doubts if they are qualified,because they didn't speak clearly and were messily dressed(like a maid,she says)Then when the doctor was consulting me,he didn't seem very interested in doing his job.Checked my throat from like 1 meter away.When listening to my chest also he was doing it so hastily I dunno whether he was listening for heartbeat or breathing or just for show.He seemed very eager for us to leave,drawing,i think,a very fast conclusion that I was having a common flu.Because he listed down symtoms and I just said yes or no,rather than I tell him my symptoms.Sook Cheng,I think he failed his rapport building.Then,fifth,when I went to collect my medication,the people at the counter didn't even bother to write my name properly, just my surname(spelt differently on each packet) and middle name(there on some packets,missing on others)Last name completely not there.I'm not joking,I'll prolly post some pics later.Even the dosage was not written clearly.And remember,I was the only patient there.They would have had enough time to write everything in gold ink and calligraphy if they were so inclined.Last but not least,when we were leaving,the staff was already half closing the shutter doors,so we had to squeeze out.However,this probably explains their half heartedness,they want to go home.=_=

So yeah,if you really need to see a doctor and all other clinics in SS15 are closed,just keep looking.

Hahahaha!!!!!!!My Maya still life finished liao!!!

You know,I had so much problem with the obscene bread thing and the bottle labels??

*oklah...maybe not as much as other rajinfied classmates*

A few days ago i had a dream that I did not finish the file in time for submission.That one also still nevermind.But the lecturer wasn't Jason.It was Debbie!!! Somemore dunno why my mistakes from my Flash project also inside!!!And the whole thing was so messed up that I cannot believe that I created it!!!DXXXXXXX............

and then I woke up.

It took me a few minutes to realise that I was dreaming.

BTW don't ask me what that round red thing is.I'm not sure either.It was intended to be a tomato,but I used a peach for the colour texture.In the end it looks like an apple.

Yesterday I passed by a ballet academy near my cousin's house.It was called the Nutcracker.I understand the whole Tchaikovsky theme going on in there,but I think that Nutcracker is generally not a good name if you are looking forward to at least some male ballet dancers singing up for lessons.

Here's my violin.I'm gonna use it to torture my neighbours.

This lighting didn't really work,but anyways,just for the details at the bridge.

I started my violin classes today

XD

XD

XD

XD

It was...tiring...

My neighbours are so gonna hate me after this for torturing their peacefulness.

Tomorrow I might photography-fy my violin and post here.

My parents finally allowed me to take violin lessons!!!!

OMG...

Actually the other day I was just trying to get them to acknowledge that I want to take classes and I will pay for them myself,then suddenly my dad said he'll allow me to take classes.He said it's not that easy finding a part time job so he'll pay first and then later I can pay back.

So the plan now is that I'm going to take lessons from YenYen.lol...I think there's no way my plan will be cancelled this time.I already asked her to get the violin,so full speed ahead now! Have to try to pass 2nd grade at least before I graduate from college.If I go overseas to continue my studies,then music lessons will definitely be really expensive.

I think I can cope with music and college at the same time,so must work as hard as possible from now onwards.

Anyways, the other day I noticed that the bakery near my college and the art shop were both looking for workers.Asked at both places,but couldn't fit the working hours into my schedule.Sigh...

So next I want to look at some art classes for schoolkids,see if they want any extra teachers .Gasp...I'm not qualified enough for industry jobs yet.Do you guys know any art classes within Subang Jaya or USJ?So far i know USJ 4 has 2,and there's one more in PJS right behind the 3C complex.

here's another one.I think this person is quite good.Her other songs are worth checking out too.

Yilyn you are so going to love this

electric violin




btw i just found out there's such a thing as electric cello.lols...

Sohs I was asking around about the cost of violin lessons.It should be around RM80 per month  for 1/2 lessons once a week for beginners.Sounds quite expensive actually if you concider it's rm20 for every lesson.But it's standard.Seems that 8th grade piano costs RM300,so don't complain now.As for the violin itself,it's minimum rm200 for a cheap one.Books and exam I dunno how much lah.

So I was thinking of getting a part time job at the end of the year.Prolly start on the last week of classes and work up to the new term,that makes 1 full month,so getting a job is i think a bit easier that way.Whatever money I have in my bank account I cannot touch for sure,that's for emergency use only,My month allowance also cannot cover anything extra because it's 100% used to pay for art material and whatever other college related expenses.Actually this term is not that expensive,but the sudden RM45 for the bus to Melaka was a big chunk.Yeah,my allowance is very small compared to you guys,I know.

Eitherway I don't think it's possible to start learning in the near future.After this if I go overseas to study then the cost will be even more expensive,but I think it's time to start saving up either way.

For those that think I don't have enough time for anything besides college,listen here.Because yes,I don't have any acceptable social life to even start with,so it's time things changed around here.There's no point in making my life revolve around my future job.

So that covers those 3 problems

1)money

2)time

3)interest

I think it's a good plan if things work out.

~~~~~~~

In the meantime,does anyone have any tips on how to get art industry related part time/freelance jobs?I was thinking that work from home jobs would be easier to fit around my schedule.
